From Paul Hunsicker Sr.Northwoods Seniors Benefits

I resolve to make 2013 the year I take advantage of all

of the various financial benefits afforded to me based on my

age. I resolve to review my investments to ensure that I am

receiving the best income possible as well as ensuring that

what is left can benefit my family and the charities I care

about. I resolve to update my powers of attorney for finances

and health care as well as my living will. I resolve to ensure

that my final wishes are all met through the use of a prop-

erly written revocable living trust. I resolve to provide for a

smooth settling of all of my affairs after my passing. I resolve

to be the best possible steward of all of my blessings.

Your Mouth May GetYou in Trouble

From Robert D. Imm, DDSYour mouth may get you in trouble.Scientific research has found a connection linking gum

disease and serious health issues, including type 2 diabetes,

cardiovascular and respiratory disease, and even preterm

and low birth weight babies.The theory is the infection in gum tissue may provide

an entry for bacteria to invade your body. Communities of

bacteria can cause localized inflammation and damage your

gum tissue, and enter the blood stream through small open

sores and spread throughout the body. Left unchecked, too,

communities of bacteria and their byproducts in periodontal

pockets can lead to destruction of your teeth and the bone

supporting them. It is, therefore, important to talk to your doctor about your

risk factors and treat any infected areas of your mouth.

Symptoms of gum disease include bleeding gums,

swollen or tender gums, persistent bad breath, obvious plaque

or calculus, sensitive teeth, spaces developing between your

teeth, receding gums, and loose or mobile teeth.It is important for everyone to eat right, not smoke and

take care of their oral health. Take any symptoms of gum

disease seriously and seek treatment.Our Perio Protect Method assists the professional

cleaning process with a technique you can use each day

at home to help manage oral bacteria. We will provide

individualized treatment instructions, but for most people

following the Perio Protect Method treatment requires just

minutes a day. Patients describe the treatment as comfortable

and report fresher breath. Those using an oxidizing method

also notice whiter teeth over time.

Resolve to Get More Sleep(StatePoint) There are many popular New Year’s resolutions that quickly come and go:

eating healthy, losing weight, managing stress and saving money. In 2013, why not focus on

one health change you’ll enjoy sticking to ... getting more sleep.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, the average American sleeps about six

hours and 55 minutes per night during the week, and 15 percent of adults sleep less than six

hours per night.“Lack of sleep can take a significant toll on your overall health and interfere with some of

your daily activities,” said Dr. Michael Thorpy, director of the Sleep-Wake Disorders Center at

the Montefiore Medical Center in New York.Almost everybody has trouble sleeping now and then, but many Americans experience

significant problems getting to sleep or continually wake up in the middle of the night and

can’t fall back asleep. Such problems may be clinical symptoms of insomnia. According to the

National Sleep Foundation, if you have trouble falling asleep at night or staying asleep, or you

wake up in the morning feeling unrefreshed, you may be suffering from insomnia.

Insomnia can affect people in different ways. Some sufferers have trouble initially getting

to sleep, while others wake up in the middle of the night and have difficulty falling back asleep.

To help you get better sleep this year, Dr. Thorpy suggests these simple tips:

•Set and stick to a sleep schedule. Establish a regular bedtime and wake time.

•Set aside time at night to “wind down.” Spend some quiet time before bedtime. Such

activities as watching TV, using the computer or working right before bedtime, or in the bed-

room, can make it harder to fall asleep.•Avoid caffeine and alcohol before bed. •Exercise regularly. Just don’t exercise rigorously near bedtime and check with your doc-

tor before starting an exercise regimen.•Don’t clock-watch. If you awaken in the middle of the night and stay in bed, don’t lie

there staring at the clock. And don’t watch TV or use your laptop or cell phone, because these

technologies stimulate the brain, making it tougher to fall back to sleep.

If these tips don’t help, speak with your healthcare professional to help determine if you

are suffering from insomnia and require treatment.More information regarding insomnia is available at the National Sleep Foundation web-

site at www.sleepfoundation.org.
