With the holiday season gearing up into full swing, most of us are more concerned about how big of a turkey (and then tree) to get than we are about our flexible spending account through work. Financial experts will tell you that is a big mistake – if you have a medical flexible spending account (FSA) through your employer and you don’t use that money by the end of the year then you’ll lose it. That’s right – use it or lose it. This is also the time of year for open enrollment for employee benefits, so if you haven’t been taking advantage of your ability to save through a FSA...

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.

Posted by ActiveForever

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.

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.
