Blood is the body’s universal means of transport; oxygen, nutrients, chemical messengers (e.g. hormones) and immune cells are all transported through our blood. When our body’s cells, tissues and organs are adequately nourished and metabolic waste products are removed, our bodies are healthier and function properly. BEMER’s patented signal has been scientifically shown to temporarily improve blood flow in target tissues. Many physical discomforts and impairments are directly related to diminished circulation. This is because healthy circulation is the cornerstone of health! Peer-review medical publications can be found on www.pubmed.gov. BEMER is licensed and registered as a Class 2 Medical Device.

New Technology for Denture Production
New digital representation is replacing the traditional denture impression process, which is not everyone’s favourite procedure. Digital impressions for dentures involve advanced digital technology, such as an intraoral scanner that captures thousands of pictures. The resulting scan is used to create detailed and precise 3D images of a patient’s oral structures, including tissues and teeth. The digital data can be used, both traditionally and digitally, to design and manufacture dentures with improved accuracy and efficiency. This combined approach often takes less time and is convenient for individuals who are unwilling to undergo traditional impressions.
Tips for Spring Cleaning
The green season is upon us and with it comes Spring Cleaning! Many people dread this yearly task; the best way to tackle it is to go low and slow. Go through one drawer or cupboard a day to get the ball rolling in the right direction without taxing yourself. In the bathroom, look for expired medications. Collect these and take them to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Ask for help. Decluttering with the help of a friend can make the task much easier. Or call us to help you! We are here to support you holistically, body, mind, and home.
Navigating Your End-of-Life Planning

However, it’s important to understand that organizing our affairs is beneficial at any stage of life. Estate planning is a crucial step towards ensuring that your assets are distributed according to your wishes after your death and also ensuring your medical and financial affairs are in order during your life in the event of incapacity.

Remember 1-4-2
Have you heard of Canada’s Low-Risk Gambling Guidelines (#LRGG)? Guideline 1: Gamble no more than 1% of household income, e.g.: $60,000 annual gross income = $50/month. Guideline 2: Gamble no more than 4 days per month = roughly once a week. Guideline 3: Avoid regularly gambling at more than 2 types of games, including lotteries, sports betting, table games, slot machines, scratch tickets, horse racing, bingo, video lottery terminals (VLTs), and online gambling. Mental health & addictions, gambling type and reasons for gambling can make these guidelines difficult to follow. Reach out to VI Gaming Support! We’re here for you.
After Retirement
After retirement, it’s important to look for new sources of meaning—activities that add joy and enrich your life. Plan to retire from something, just to try something else—whether that’s a new career, fulfilling hobby, a volunteer position, or continuing education.
Here are 6 ways to feel energized and excited about the next phase of your life.
1. How about Mind Games- reading, writing, learning a new language, playing an instrument, puzzles or electronic games.
2. Physical activity such as ballroom dancing, chair yoga, aqua fitness
3. Maybe time to connect with old friends, make new friends, and chat on zoom, facetime or skype.
4. Perfect time to dust off the bucket list; try something new-gardening, sewing, painting or a new cooking technique and or recipes.
5. You could volunteer at an animal shelter, so rewarding & bring much happiness into your day.
6. Then there are organizations desperate for support that could use your skills & experience. Saskatoon Services for seniors welcomes retired people. Your skills and experience would be put to good use by helping those wishing to remain in their own homes but need a little help once in a while. If this sound like something that would be meaningful and bring you joy, please check out our website at saskatoonservicesforseniors.ca or call us at 306-668-2762
Importance of Oral Health
We all want to be healthy, however many disregard their oral cavity and teeth (whether natural or false). We forget that the body is a holistic and interconnected system, one which can only function optimally if everything runs smoothly. False teeth which have become flat over time, prevent proper mastication (chewing or breaking down) of food, which in turn will cause strain on your digestive system. It’s imperative to see the right specialist for any health issues. When it comes to dentures, see a denturist. We believe in this so strongly that we offer complimentary oral exams to ensure your optimal oral health.
