This form of burial has been practised since the dawn of human civilization. A body is prepared for Green Burial without embalming and buried in a biodegradable shroud, simple container or casket made from natural fibre, wicker or sustainably harvested wood. A Green Burial is a statement of personal values for those who seek to minimize their impact on the local and global environment. It is a spiritually fulfilling alternative to conventional burial, especially for people who are mindful of the cyclical nature of life. The body is returned to the earth to decompose naturally and contribute to environmental renewal.

Fresh fruits and vegetables return in spring, but struggling to chew them can limit your nutrition. Properly fitting dentures allow you to enjoy a balanced diet, including crisp apples, salads, and seasonal produce. If you find yourself avoiding certain foods, your dentures may need adjustment or replacement. Good chewing supports digestion and overall health. Don’t compromise your nutrition — a denture evaluation can restore comfort and function so you can fully enjoy healthy seasonal foods.

May brings high pollen levels that can significantly affect seniors, especially those with asthma or other respiratory conditions. Symptoms like sneezing, congestion, itchy eyes, and fatigue can worsen quickly if not managed. To combat seasonal allergies, seniors should keep windows closed on high pollen days, use air purifiers, shower after outdoor activities, and stay hydrated. Over-the-counter medications may help, but it’s important to monitor their effectiveness. If symptoms persist or worsen, it may be time to have medications re-evaluated by a healthcare provider to ensure proper treatment and avoid interactions with existing prescriptions.
