Alternative Therapies for Dementia
Dementia is a devastating disease that only gets worse over time. While there is little research on the impact of using alternative therapies for seniors struggling with dementia, many options help with relaxation and enjoyment in the moment, and that’s always beneficial. Researchers are examining alternative therapies to see if they have any effects on seniors. Without the research to back up beneficial claims, it’s best to use therapies of your choice to give seniors with dementia a pleasant experience and harness other benefits, such as the improved mobility or increased energy that acupuncture or chiropractic can offer.
May is Better Speech & Hearing Month!
Did you know that the entire month of May is dedicated to Better Speech and Hearing? During May, the hearing care industry makes a special effort to educate the public about hearing loss. Helen Keller once said that of all her sensory deprivations, she most missed her ability to hear. She noted that while blindness kept her separate from things, hearing loss separated her from people. Hearing impairment not only affects your ability to understand speech, but it also has a negative impact on your social and emotional well-being, as you struggle to carry on meaningful conversations and avoid activities.
Spring Into Love
Spring is a season of clichés — birds singing, bees buzzing and people falling madly in love. The love sickness can be blamed on one very real thing. Dopamine! Dopamine is a naturally occurring chemical your brain uses to make you want things. There are other systems involved in love, but when it comes to new love, dopamine is the main culprit. The newness of spring provides an ideal context for starting a new relationship. The changing weather and sunshine energize us — especially after hibernating all winter. We’ve survived winter and now it’s time to start your search for love with the help of an experienced matchmaker.
