Care Your Aging Loved Ones Need & Deserve

When it comes to planning for care, don’t wait until aging conditions become crises; proactively explore care options for your parents, grandparents, or aging family members. They deserve the best care, and your timely attention can make all the difference. Start by having open conversations about their needs and preferences. Research local resources, from in-home care to assisted living facilities. Seek advice from professionals and support groups. By addressing aging conditions early, you can ensure their comfort, safety, and quality of life. Let’s honor those who cared for us by being proactive in providing the care and support they now need.

Inflammation: Good, Bad, or Both?

Inflammation is a crucial aspect of the body’s healing process, wherein inflammatory cells journey to injury sites, prompting recovery. Yet, chronic inflammation signs can be elusive – examples include abdominal and chest pain, fatigue, fever, joint discomfort, and stiffness (like in rheumatoid arthritis), as well as mouth sores and skin rashes (as in psoriasis). Turmeric presents a natural solution for pain and inflammation. Notably, curcumin, an extract of turmeric, is renowned for its potent anti-inflammatory properties, effectively alleviating pain, and dampening inflammation. Regarded as one of the most robust botanical anti-inflammatories, Good Habits Market takes pride in offering prime curcumin varieties, available as liposomal soft gels, or liquid.

The Disability Tax Credit (DTC) eligibility hinges on three primary impairment categories, each with its own criteria: Physical Impairments. Mental Illness and Psychological Impairments. Neurological Impairments. Simply having a certified medical condition within these categories doesn’t guarantee DTC eligibility. Qualification depends on impairment severity and its impact on “Activities of Daily Living.”

September is Arthritis Awareness Month

According to Stats Canada over 37% of Canadians over the age of 20 have been diagnosed with osteoarthritis, mainly affecting hips and knees. This is the wear and tear condition due to breakdown of cartilage between the joints leading to pain and stiffness. Along with typical Naturopathic treatments, another beneficial treatment modality is Cold Laser, which uses light wavelengths to stimulate new energy production leading to restoration of normal function by increasing blood flow, nervous stimulation, and new cell growth. These treatments are non-invasive, painless and can be done a few times a week to stimulate that healing process.
