Rheumatoid arthritis can sometimes lead to other health complications, including oral conditions such as: 1) Oral infections – including bacterial and fungal infections. 2) Gingivitis – a mild form of gum disease that can cause swollen and tender gums. 3) Temporomandibular joint issues – causing pain when opening and closing your mouth. 4) Periodontitis – affects the bone and tissue supporting the teeth. 5) Sjögren’s syndrome – condition affecting the salivary glands that can lead to oral dryness and tooth decay. By seeing your dentist regularly and keeping up with your oral health through daily brushing and flossing, these conditions may be avoided or improved.

Community Profile – Crossmount Memory Café
The Crossmount Memory Café is a social and recreational community program for people living with dementia and their caregivers. It is hosted twice a month at Crossmount and provides a safe, supportive, and social outing for people who may otherwise have limited opportunities to engage with others experiencing similar dementia-related health and social barriers. Following refreshments and a light snack, participants engage in a wide variety of activities and experiences, including creative workshops, live entertainment, intergenerational activities, low-impact fitness activities, and more. Participating in the Memory Café provides opportunities for connection and belonging by decreasing social isolation and enhancing overall quality of life.

A New Sauna Experience
Back2Nature Wellness and Adventures is excited to announce a new experience with our mobile, wood-burning barrel sauna – an evening of glow paddle and sauna! A well-known Finnish tradition, the dry sauna offers passive heat that involves dry air and high temperatures, and more humidity can be added by pouring water on the sauna’s hot rocks. Immersing yourself in the sauna can have many benefits beyond relaxation and leisure, including improving your overall health and wellness, improving heart health, flushing toxins, improving brain health, relieving stress, inducing a deeper sleep, assisting with fighting illness, and simply allowing you to feel good!
Why Hire a Matchmaker?
In today’s fast-paced and impersonal times, the search for love can be a daunting task. We have been wisely conditioned to fear strangers yet when looking for love most people throw caution to the wind by meeting strangers online. Very little is known about these people and are often not who they pretend to be. An experienced Matchmaker hand picks screened and good potential matches for their clients. Their identification and intentions have been verified and they have successfully passed the screening process. They have hired a Matchmaker to find their partner and to simplify the search process in a safe and effective way. When looking for love it makes sense to leave it to the professionals!

Caring for Hearing Devices
Taking good care of your hearing aids can significantly prolong their life. *Make sure your hands are clean and dry before handling your hearing aids. *Clean them regularly using your hearing aid cleaning kit. *Remove hearing aids before showering, bathing or swimming and store in a dry location away from condensation. *Remove them before applying perfume or hair spray. *Store them in their case or drying cup away from heat sources and direct sunlight. *If you won’t be using your hearing aids for an extended period, remove the batteries and store them separately. *Use a hearing aid expert if you need repairs.
Laughter is the Best Medicine
If my body were a car, I would trade it for a newer model. Every time I cough, sputter, or sneeze, my radiant leaks and my exhaust backfires.
The Offline Dating Solution
Online dating can be exhausting, dangerous and demoralizing. Hours of searching profiles, followed by unsuccessful date after date can result in dating ‘burn out’. Furthermore, when it comes to online dating, you never know who you are really meeting. You have no idea about their actual age and relationship status, their true intentions or if they have a criminal history. Online dating can be extremely dangerous. This is why I recommend a professional matchmaker. An experienced matchmaker will introduce you to the right match, who is screened, and handpicked for you. Finding true love is important and hiring an experienced matchmaker with a proven track record, could be the best decision you ever make.
The Power of Homeopathy
Homeopathy has the power to change the course of life or death. On July 4th, my mom and I saved our dog from dying from anaphylaxis/poisoning from a wasp, using homeopathy. Homeopathy is energy medicine that quantum physics is just starting to explain the beautiful way it works. It has zero side effects and can work alongside prescriptions medications. It is powerful yet gentle at the same time. It is beneficial from the birth of a baby all the way to transitioning to death and everywhere in between. It can treat small first aid issues to acute emergency situations and help reverse chronic diseases that supposedly “have no cure”. In my opinion, it is the most powerful natural medicine known to man.
