2 [Edition Tuesday datE] June 6 2017 WESTERN NEWS 22 Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi SENIOR LIVING How’s your sleep? Sleep is as important to the human body as food and water, but most of us don’t get enough quality sleep. Insufficient sleep, or disruptions to the sleep-wake cycle, may cause you to feel stressed, moody, unhappy, depressed, frustrated, fatigued, as well as cause poor concentration, memory, weight gain, skin conditions and even be a factor in faster aging and degenerative diseases. Melatonin is your sleep hormone. It is secreted by your brain’s pineal gland at the day’s end to help you relax and prepare for sleep. As you drift into sleep more melatonin is released to put you into a deep restorative sleep. Unfortunately many of us do not produce enough melatonin to achieve a quality sleep, and to sleep continuously through until morning. If you have trouble going to sleep, and/or wake often throughout the night you could be low in melatonin. Montmorency Tart Cherries are an excellent source of naturally occurring phyto-melatonin. Tru2U Sleep Support contains 100% pure tart cherry concentrate. It is an excellent natural way to increase your melatonin levels and improve your sleep.

It contains an enzyme called “uricase” that helps break down uric acid in the joints, which can lead to joint pain and gout. Montmorency tart cherry juice has also been shown to significantly reduce high blood pressure at levels comparable to that achieved by medication but without the side effects of medication according to new research from Northumbria University, Newcastle.

Golden Healthcare Group Residential Care Services Golden Healthcare Group’s position is at the forefront of Canterbury’s residential care services is cemented by a state-of-the-art facility being developed at Lady Wigram Retirement Village. The concept is to provide hotel-style accommodation for those residents who enjoy being part of a vibrant, social community. The group has already completed 78 villas with an additional 23 to be completed by November 2017. Until the full project is finalised, one of the villas built during the first stage of construction has been converted to accommodate social events such as bowls, happy hours, high teas and television viewing of sports fixtures. Once the project is complete, it will comprise 101 villas, 73 apartments, and 100 care beds. The proposed facilities will include a rest home, hospital, and dementia facilities, and permanent amenities such as a community centre, bowling green, swimming and spa pools, a gym, a theatre, a library, and a hairdressing salon. The villas will be offered in a combination of two and three bedrooms whereas apartment residents will have a choice between one and two bedrooms. The Lady Wigram Retirement Village is a short stroll from The Landing, the central retail hub of the Wigram Skies subdivision, and only a short drive to Hornby Mall, the Hornby Working Men’s Club and the city. Lady Wigram Retirement Village is 121 Skyhawk Road one of eight facilities operated by Golden Healthcare Group that offer a variety of residential care services. The large Christchurch-based group is a privately owned provider that strives to support every aspect of aged care. Rest home care is provided in the Golden Age Rest Home and Brookhaven Rest Home, both of which also encompass retirement villages. Brookhaven also has a dementia care unit along with the dedicated Camellia Court, Albarosa, and Somerfield rest homes. Furthermore, the Hoon Hay Rest Home is a dedicated dementia wing, but the Hoon Hay House on the same site specialises in mental health. Within the facilities, there are plenty of opportunities to create unique environments for differing requirements for residents. Nursing care is provided by registered nurses, regular scheduled medical appointments and on-call doctors ensure residents’ health is well monitored. An activities co-ordinator ensures residents will never be bored and they participate in programmed activities, games, sing-alongs with performances by visiting entertainers, library book exchange and exercise programmes.

Golden Healthcare employs 260 at its facilities which care for about 350 residents. All staff are highly trained, experienced, and qualified in their roles. Each facility offers regular resident and family meetings to ensure feedback is encouraged, and dementia facilities also offer educational evening for families to understand the dementia process.

[Edition datE] WESTERN NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www. .kiwi Tuesday June 6 2017 23 3 SENIOR LIVING How’s your blood pressure? There are many tell-tale signs our health isn’t what it should be. Finding out we have higher than normal blood pressure is an important one. According to Julian Marshall, owner of Marshall’s Health & Natural Therapy in New Brighton, making a few life changes can help you keep on top of it. “Our body is really amazing. It has the ability to heal itself of just about any disease if we make the effort to do the right things! Often there are signs that things are not right and this is the time to find out why. Disease doesn’t happen for no reason. Cardiovascular disease, one of the leading causes of death is generally very preventable. The secret is to make the changes before things get too bad!” Some symptoms of high blood pressure include, headaches, migraines, not noticing the cold, the feeling of pressure in the head and nose bleeds, but often the first sign that something is wrong comes in a more life threatening manner. “The kidneys don’t handle high blood pressure very well, and can become seriously damaged as a result. Or, worsecase scenario, you can suddenly have a stroke or aneurysm, or even a heart attack.” To have good cardiovascular health, the systolic reading – the blood pressure in the arteries when the heart pumps – should be 120 (or less) and the diastolic reading – which is the pressure in the arteries between beats or while the heart Third Age Tours EST 1999 Small Group Tours for the over 50s Domestic and International Great Prices!

It is common when talking about blood pressure to say the systolic reading over the diastolic reading, i.e. 120/60. Blood pressure can vary considerably over a relatively short period of time. It is also best to check your blood pressure when you are relaxed at home. For this reason I recommend it is a good idea to purchase your own digital blood pressure unit and check your blood pressure regularly. They are easy to use and can give you a good indication of what may be effecting your blood pressure especially if it is high. A moderate increase in blood pressure can be caused by many things including stress & worry.

M E M B E R O F R V A 140/70 is often caused by poor circulation. Poor circulation again can be caused by various factors especially plaque build-up in the blood vessels but also if the blood vessels are not supple enough or in poor condition. Calcium is an important mineral for good health. However it often builds up in the arteries as calcium plaque restricting blood flow. Researchers have found Vitamin K2 as menaquinone-7 can allow this calcium to be pulled out of the arteries and absorbed into the bones and tissues where it belongs. It can therefore help prevent osteoporosis also.

Not only will tart cherry juice help your B/P but its powerful antioxidants and concentrated nutrients can support good health, joint function, help clear up gout and give you a much more restful deep sleep. Drinking delicious Hibiscus tea has been shown to lower elevated blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, reduce muscle cramps as well as support the central nervous system. Try to drink at least 2-3 cups daily. The lack of magnesium can be a major contributor too, with most people having less than optimum levels. “Sure signs of being low in magnesium include having an irregular heartbeat, high blood pressure, migraines, muscle cramps, twitches and night time teeth grinding are just a few.” These are just a few supplements we highly recommend to help you support your good health and blood pressure.
