Currently there is a greater need for people to have an active part in their own physical wellbeing by proactively monitoring their health instead of waiting until there is a health crisis and rushing to the doctor. Many Americans suffer from high blood pressure which typically has no symptoms; the best way to discover your blood pressure is to check it with a blood pressure monitor. The higher your blood pressure, the more frequently you need to check it; elevated blood pressure can result from any number of things including medications, genetics, diet, lifestyle, and more. Additionally, people with “borderline” high blood pressure, those with issues maintaining a healthy blood pressure level, pregnant women, and those who suffer fainting spells all are candidates for daily (or multiple times a day) blood pressure checks. It is crucial to choose a blood pressure monitor which best suits your needs and lifestyle.
With summer officially here and children excitedly flocking to swimming pools, it is important to take a few minutes to review water safety tips with children. Adults need to not only share pool safety with their children, but also be aware (themselves) of the reality of water as a danger to kids and pets; on average in the United States and Canada, there are 400 drownings in residential swimming pools and 3,000 near-drownings every year of children ages 4 years and younger. The award-winning Safety Turtle Pool Alarm has saved lives all over the world and is a must for any swimming pool home with pets or children.
Safety bathtubs, more commonly known as walk in bathtubs, are an ideal fall prevention for the elderly in the bathroom. More falls occur for the elderly in the bathroom than in any other room in the home, and a majority of those bathroom falls happen in conjunction with the bath or shower (how many times have you heard the familiar refrain that he/she was getting in/out of the bath/shower when they fell and broke their hip?). Sometimes we assume the only other option is to have someone help the person with impaired mobility bathe, but the lack of dignity and independence associated with that option can be horrifying. Walk in bathtubs are specifically designed for increased safety and fall prevention while simultaneously allowing people with mobility issues the independence and dignity of bathing themselves.
Mobility devices such as power chairs and scooters help people with mobility issues lead active lifestyles, but in order to fully take advantage of your mobility device you need to have a way to transport it. With numerous power chair and scooter lifts available on the market, how do you know which is the best mobility lift to transport your powered wheelchair or medical scooter?
Thinning hair. Balding. Hair Loss. No matter what words you use to describe it, looking in the mirror to find less hair than you previously had is horrible. If only hair lost was like a lost shoe, and eventually (after searching) you’ll find it. I was kidding, and while the only place you can find lost hair is in the drain, the iGrow Laser Hair Rejuvenation System does rejuvenate thinning hair to result in thicker, fuller hair.
