Your Oral Health and Major Illness---the Connection

Written by J.J.

Good oral health is about more than preventing dentures or cavities and flashing a winning smile. Did you know that regular dental visits can help protect you from some major illnesses? Six major health issues are connected to poor oral care yet a large percentage of older Americans are not getting the dental visits they need. Cleaning our teeth regularly at home and in dental appointments is especially important as we age and become more vulnerable to disease. If you don't have a dentist, only see your dentist when your tooth hurts, are afraid of the dentist, worry about the cost of regular dental visits or think of the dentist only as a place to repair teeth please read on.

Sweeten your day with health benefits from honey

Written by J.J.


Mary Poppins sings, "Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down" yet a spoonful of honey can be as powerful as medicine and it goes down so much easier. That's why it's been taken as a health supplement and cure since the Stone Age. For over 2000 years cultures have documented it's uses and now western science is adding to that medical literature. Its sweet taste beats most medicines and its power to heal a broad range of conditions is impressive. Is it time to bring more honey into your life?

5 Things I learned from Dementia that make me a better person--#1

Written by J.J.

"

I don't have a dementia diagnosis but I've coped with it as both a professional and family caregiver for the past 15 years. Our national dialogue talks about the many burdens dementia sufferers and their families face but seldom do we hear any positive takeaways. Over the next five months I'll share the life changing things I've learned and show how experience with dementia helps me face my own aging and aids me in personal growth. This month: Lesson #1
