Oral Diet; Brush!

Oral Health Maintenance Is Important To Keep Up At Any Age, Especially For Seniors

In a recent article featured on McKnight Magazine, The Dental Care Group’s Dr. Joel Glicksman discussed the importance of oral care for today’s seniors.

“Older patients easily give up on their oral health not realizing the importance of teeth to their overall health”, says Dr. Glicksman.  Unfortunately, poor oral health has been linked to serious systemic illnesses, including diabetes, stroke, hypertension, myocardial infarction and aspiration pneumonia.

Everyone is familiar with the brush, floss and rinse mantra.  No need to repeat those instructions here.  Other suggestions to improve oral health and make brushing easier are:

  • Place a tennis ball or foam sleeve on the toothbrush.  This will make it easier to grip the handle.
  • Use an inexpensive battery toothbrush from the grocery or drug store.  This reduces the amount of effort necessary to clean the teeth.
  • Get an egg timer (3 minutes) to brush for a sufficient amount of time.
  • Brush teeth after breakfast.
  • Rinse with a non-alcoholic mouth rinse or plain water.  A mouth rinse with alcohol will dry out the mouth and gum tissue.

Also, sugarless hard candy can help with saliva production if there are problems with dry mouth from medications.

Parents Will Want This Tattoo!

Parents would be startled to hear that over 2000 U.S. children get lost every day and that 90% of families will experience losing a child in a public place. Whether it be an amusement park, a school field trip, or just a day running errands, taking our children along can often be a stressful experience for many parents. It is no surprise that our children’s safety is a top priority, however, it becomes difficult when surrounding environments may come between you and your child, literally.

SafetyTat® is a company that has decided to tap into the market of preventing children from getting lost. The company was started by a graphic designer and mother of three, who first came up with the idea when on a family vacation to an amusement park. A family of five vs. a crowd of thousands is a daunting ratio—so she decided to write her cell phone number on each child’s arm with a ballpoint pen. A little tweaking of this concept and SafetyTat was created.

The “Original” Safety Tat was an online-customized temporary tattoo that lasted for 1-3 days. The most recent addition to the line is the QuickStick Write-on Tattoos, which come blank for parent’s discretion and can last up to two weeks. Both products are made with a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved material called, Tateck and leave the parents in charge of what the tattoo will say. Depending on the scenario and the child, parents can mark the tattoos with emergency phone numbers, the child’s allergies, medical conditions, etc. These simple descriptions may be the safety net that many parents often need during hectic times.

While many parents are weary to admit the need for emergency items such as SafetyTat, we can all agree that if preventative measures are available for our children’s safety, it is best to take all of them when we can.

Natural and Organic Bone and Joint Supplement, My Perfect Bones

It’s a major issue affecting thousands of people each year – joint pain, and bone loss.

Gigi Stetler knew all about it after she was in a horse accident and broke her knee, only to suffer from a shattered ankle two years later. In an effort to help not only herself, but many others Gigi Stetler created My Perfect Bones an all natural and organic supplement, along with My Perfect Joints which cures joint pain and is also proven to feed and nourish the cartilage in joints. Had Gigi not taken My Perfect Bones, she would have had surgery to pin and screw her ankle in the correct placement.

But the story didn’t begin with Gigi. The start of all this natural supplement line was the outcome of many years of love, expertise, and the determination to continue a meaningful existence. Nutritional Biochemist Jay D. Foster, a Licensed Nutrition Counselor and Certified Clinical Nutritionist blended all the natural supplements to restore Gigi’s Grandmother’s hip. After attentively following Foster’s daily regime for a year, Granny’s bone density test came back normal. Today her bone density is now at a level normally expected in a healthy young woman.

New Natural Supplement Helps Promote Healthy Sugar Metabolism!

New Natural Supplement Helps Promote Healthy Sugar Metabolism!
written by Kirsten Filkill

NuControl is intended for individuals who are concerned about maintaining healthy sensitivity to insulin and blood sugar levels. NuControl’s patent-pending combination of L-leucine, resveratrol and vitamins D and K aim the biological pathways in the body to increase the ability to process glucose. According to research conducted by NuSirt Sciences, the Nashville, Tenn.,-based biotech company that manufactures the supplement NuControl has no known adverse side-effects.

The formulation of NuControl is based on scientific studies by Michael B. Zemel, Ph.d., NuSirt Founder and former Director of the Nutrition Institute at the University of Tennessee. His groundbreaking research centered on the important role of dairy products in both the ability to uphold a healthy average weight and the management of overweight and obesity.

“For more than 30 years, I’ve been researching all-natural solutions for healthy living,” Zemel said. “NuControl is a breakthrough scientific approach to promoting healthy sugar metabolism and natural weight loss.”

In animal studies, NuSirt Sciences showed that resveratrol, in combination with leucine, resulted in dramatic improvement in insulin sensitivity and the ability to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. “The research breaks new ground in the understanding of metabolic health by showing that specific, novel combinations of all natural compounds–at dosing levels smaller than what was previously believed to be beneficial–have the potential to improve an individual’s metabolic health,” Zemel said.

NuSirt’s approach is to design products targeting health risks such as obesity, diabetes, and inflammation. The business focuses on the mechanisms at work and outcomes, not simply the ingredients. “While other nutraceutical companies seem obsessed over differentiating their berry or oil versus another, we are focused on the science and the clinically-proven benefit to the consumer,” CEO Doug Grindstaff said.

NuControl is available for sale online at www.nucontrol.com. NuSirt Sciences is in negotiations with retailers and distributors to offer the product on retail shelves throughout the United States.
