Many people want to remain in their own homes, independently, for as long as possible. The word “home” provides a sense of comfort, safety and familiarity. During the COVID pandemic, this couldn’t ring more true. With many businesses and services closed or severely limited, now is the time you may consider all inclusive home health care services. Staying home with all services provided by exclusive staff greatly reduces the risk for exposure to COVID-19 while still enabling you to remain safe, independent and alleviate potential loneliness.

Are You Always in ‘Fight or Flight’ Mode?
Massage therapy is undeniably effective at getting people tapped in to their parasympathetic nervous system, which is more commonly called ‘rest and digest’. Unfortunately, many spend most of their days in ‘fight or flight’! When the parasympathetic nervous system is in charge, blood pressure and heart rate lower, breathing is fuller, oxygen and blood make it deeper into the body, tissues repair themselves, organs do their jobs better, and overall, mental health is much more relaxed and content. It’s not hard to understand why being in ‘rest and digest’ is more conducive to recovery, management and being better prepared to handle what life throws at us!
Vipassana Meditation
Research has shown that meditation can expand the brain, and help people avert stress and disease. One way to achieve this is through Vipassana meditation, a technique that emphasizes mindfulness, with the goal of seeing things as they “really are”. An ancient meditative technique from India, Vipassana was taken up by Siddhartha Gautama (Buddha) just over 2,500 years ago. Vipassana meditation is an honest and direct practice: the moment-to-moment investigation of the mind-body process through calm, open, and precise awareness. This experience fosters clarity and penetrating insight into the nature of who we are, as well as increased peace in our daily lives.
Outdoor Walks for Better Health
With the warmer weather arriving, why not get outside and go for a walk? Walking outdoors offers a number of mental and physical health benefits. The most obvious benefit is helping you stay fit by improving your circulation, reducing your blood pressure, boosting your metabolism, improving your balance and coordination, and strengthening your bones and muscles. Outdoor walks also help lift your mood by helping your brain release chemicals such as serotonin and dopamine, which can make you feel happier. Going for a stroll outdoors is a great stress reliever and can even help to improve your creativity!
