A few years ago, I was introduced to acupuncture via an article from a White Plains Hospital – Health Matters magazine. Having serious issues with arthritic pain in my hands made me consider this as an option for treatment. I mean, after all, how could I continue to bring you this news you can use every month – if my hands were not able to type? π More recently, I discovered an article on the WebMD blog – a source I often use for research. So once again, I am sharing this health information for your use and discretion as to whether it will work for you.
This is “News You Can Use” — and is provided to be an information resource of ideas that assist you to complement your “wellness” and “well-being” regimens to reduce stress, guide you in sustainability choices, and healthful living and is not a replacement to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any medical condition or disease. As always, I suggest you seek out the help of a trained professional for help with your specific situation.
Everywhere I turn these days the keywords, “mindfulness” and “meditation” are being suggested as a way of enhancing our well-being. Some baby boomers can remember meditation and the connection with the Beatles interests in the practice after a meeting Paul McCartney, George Harrison and John Lennon had with Maharishi after his lecture at the Hilton Hotel, London, on August 24, 1967, which sparked an interest to study in India with the Yogi to learn the techniques.
For your information, Senior Planet is having a conversation regularly about “Mindfulness”, and so are other wellness websites. That’s why I am happy to share some of the links with you, as you think about embracing new ways for your wellness regimen.
“Focus on Mental Health as we age” is an on-going topic often discussed nowadays. Below is a link to a website that has useful ideas and suggestions, which may support you or family members.
Are you aware that you can get help with Internet service costs?
Senior Planet has information you can use about the Affordable Connectivity Program (ACP), a government program that helps qualifying low-income households pay for internet service and connected devices.
