Immediate Care Launches Mobile Van Service to Expand COVID Testing
Companies, Organizations, Government Can Now Schedule On-Site Testing, Anywhere in New Jersey RED BANK, NJ – January 14, 2021 – As the demand for COVID testing in New Jersey grows – with hospitalizations reaching all-time highs – Immediate Care is now taking its service on the road. The Red Bank-based company, which has been erecting mobile testing centers in parking lots to test thousands of people a day, is introducing a fully customized commercial van as a mobile testing site. The van, which is staffed by a nurse practitioner, a medical assistant and a driver, is now making scheduled stops throughout central New Jersey, collecting nasal and saliva swabs of people where they live and work. “When we built the mobile testing centers, we quickly realized that they can’t be easily relocated,” said Sal Cannizzaro, CEO of Immediate Care. “So, we thought the best way to accommodate the smaller groups at municipal facilities or such business locations as restaurants, offices or warehouses, would be through some innovation. That’s where the idea for the mobile medical van was born.” The van follows specific design protocols, such as providing additional heat, air conditioning and a fan for consistent positive air flow. There […]

Restorative Dentistry for Dental Health
Restorative Dentistry stays true to the definition of the word restore, although keeping your teeth in mind: return (someone or something) to a former condition, place, or position. repair or renovate (a building, work of art, vehicle, etc.) so as to return it to its original condition. Restorative Dentistry refers to the management and procedures that your dentist performs to keep your mouth functional and healthy. These procedures may include putting in your basic fillings, dental implants, dentures, and crowns. While this kind of dentistry is not considered a specialization, it does require skill and experience. There are four primary types of dental materials used to restore teeth: porcelain, dental amalgam, composite resin, and gold. Composite resin includes ceramic or plastic compounds that can be used with other materials like glass ionomers. There are precious (noble) metals (gold, platinum and palladium) which are biologically compatible and very durable. And non-precious metals (which are not like gold and can have biological sensitivity issues) almost as durable. Fillings- there are a variety of treatment options designed to restore the surface of teeth or replace missing teeth in any of the dental materials previously mentioned. The material used depends on which tooth is […]

How Fast Action Helped 87-Year-Old Freehold Woman Survive a Major Stroke
Eileen Kelleher, 87, of Freehold, New Jersey, has been a caretaker her entire life. As the oldest daughter in her family, she helped raise her siblings in Ireland after her mother passed away when she was 12. Immigrating to the U.S. by herself at age 19, she worked in the Bronx and sent money back to her family overseas each month. She raised six children of her own, took in her friends’ children when they were struggling postpartum and worked as a home health aide at the Jewish Home and Hospital for the Aged. It was only fitting that she receive outstanding care when she needed it the most. “My mom’s stroke literally happened right before my eyes,” says Eileen’s daughter, Margaret Kelleher. “We were at home, having a conversation when she left the room for a moment. She walked back over to my desk, opened her mouth to say something and nothing came out. She was staring straight ahead and started to slump over. I told her she was having a stroke and guided her gently to the floor as I called 911.” Margaret requested her mother be taken to Jersey Shore University Medical Center, where Eileen had been […]

Fitness for Dummies: What Is BMI and Other Frequently Asked Questions
When you’re just hopping on the fitness train, learning the lingo takes as much focus as learning to squat. There are tons of questions you should be asking yourself on your fitness journey, and even more words in the fitness dictionary it can be helpful to know. We pulled together some of the most frequently asked questions in our world—and the answers that will help you figure out what the heck it all means. Question: What Is BMI—and How Can I Find Out What Mine Is? Answer: BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It’s a basic measurement of your body fat based on height and weight—you’ll often hear personal trainers talk about it when they set goals with you. A high BMI is often an indicator of other health issues (or their potential), but it’s also not the end-all, be-all of body fat ratio. Some scientists think a BVI—or Body Volume Indicator—or even body fat percentage are more accurate ways to measure your overall health. Still, if you want to find out your BMI, there are plenty of calculators online—like this one—that will help you find your answer! Question: What Is a Target Heart Rate? Answer: You’ve probably been hearing […]

5 benefits of weighted blankets, including better sleep
(BPT) – Quality sleep is essential to good health, but daily life — the stresses of work and family, too much screen time, caffeine or alcohol — disrupts our body’s natural sleep cycle. One tool to promote better sleep is a weighted blanket, but the benefits go beyond sleep. Here are five benefits weighted blankets provide: 1. Helps you fall asleep faster — Most people know what it’s like to toss and turn at night just waiting to fall asleep. According to the National Sleep Foundation, it should take 10-20 minutes to fall asleep. If it takes you more time than that there are steps you can take like adding a weighted blanket to your bedtime routine. 2. Helps you stay asleep longer — The CDC says adults should get between seven and nine hours of sleep each night. If you’re in need of more restful slumber, a product like a Tranquility weighted blanket and its calming pressure can help you sleep more soundly with fewer bouts of restlessness so you wake feeling more rested. 3. Enhances relaxation — Weighted blankets offer deep touch pressure, a sensory experience like a soothing hug, which works to relax the nervous system and […]

Smart ingredient updates When looking at creating recipes, consider healthful ingredient swaps.

WHAT’S NEXT? by Stephen Dick
WARNING BEFORE READING! Please hold this article at least six feet from your face for social distancing and wear a mask. (Just kidding). Okay, we have arrived at the start of another New Year. But it is surely a year that can have you asking the question, “What’s Next?” Given we will be recovering from the most un-nerving year we have ever experienced a time to re-group is surely required. Of course, much of this was due to an extremely dangerous virus known as Covid-19. As we have witnessed, we were unprepared to face what has changed our lifestyles, ordered quarantines, closed businesses, stimulated a mass media panic, and created an incredible need for our medical professionals (doctors, nurses) and unknown hero volunteers. I again feel it is imperative that we recognize all those very brave front-line Medical Professionals. Our heroic Doctors, Nurses, Rescue and their support staff who really demonstrated what they are made of and how profoundly grateful we are for all they do. Thank you. As a Senior, one might think that you have seen it all. We have lived through some great times and some dreadful times, but this must be recorded as an incredibly […]

IS IT OVER YET? by Stephen Dick
As painful as it has been thankfully the year 2020 is coming to a close. For most it cannot come soon enough. Admittedly, it has been quite the year and one that we will surely remember. Being a Senior, we think that we have seen it all. We have lived through some great times and some dreadful times, but this has got to go down as truly an incredible time. An unexpected Pandemic that early in the year began to attack us, e specially those in our Senior population. This brutal attack placed fear Worldwide in a battle for survival from Covid 19. However, there is good news as we move forward into 2021. Thanks to the efforts of our scientists, pharmaceutical companies and medical professionals under the guise of the current Trump administration’s Operation Warp Speed we now seem to have not one but multiple vaccinations being made available. This should not go un-noticed, as the fact that we have seen the development of these anti-Covid 19 vaccinations occur in record breaking nine-month timeline. This is amazing fact is truly unheard of. Yes, we have lost too many to this horrible virus, but finding what many believe to be […]

5 Vet Tips for a Happy and Healthy Holiday Season with your Pets
(BPT) – After a difficult year, there’s one thing most people can agree on: They’re thankful for their pets. According to a new Purina survey, 93% of consumers are grateful for their pets this holiday season. During this special time of year, we should give them some extra attention and love in return. From decking the halls, to planning the perfect pet-safe holiday feast, there are a number of ways to incorporate the dogs and cats we love into the season. Dr. Kurt Venator, DVM, PhD, and Chief Veterinary Officer at Purina, has gathered some pet-friendly tips for a safe and festive holiday season. Deck the Halls (Safely). While beautifully festive, some holiday plants can be poisonous or toxic, especially to children and dogs. Steer clear of holly, mistletoe and amaryllis — all of which can make your dog sick if ingested. If one of these plants has been eaten by mistake, be sure to contact your veterinarian immediately. Skip the Table Scraps. It’s tempting to slip our four-legged friends a taste of the holiday foods we love this time of year, but it’s best to stick to nutritionist developed and science-backed pet foods to avoid tummy trouble or an […]

What All Puppy Owners Should Know About Feeding Their Puppies
(BPT) – New puppy owners have plenty of questions when it comes to their new pet — about training their puppy, puppy-proofing their home and what behaviors are considered “normal” for a growing dog. Perhaps the most important question, which is commonly misunderstood, is how to feed your puppy to make sure he or she grows up to be a healthy and happy adult dog. In fact, a recent survey by Purina found that many dog owners were unsure about how to correctly feed their growing pup. For example, the majority of puppy owners did not realize that breed size determines how long a dog is considered a puppy, and ultimately, how long their dog needs to be fed puppy food. “Puppies have specific nutritional requirements to help support their rapid growth and development,” said veterinarian at Purina Dr. Callie Harris, DVM. “Similar to babies, puppies’ bodies are fast-growing, but unlike babies, puppies pack all their growth into one to two years.” Here’s a guide to common questions about feeding your pup. Why should you feed your growing dog only puppy food? Puppies’ growing bodies need 25% more protein, 40% more fat and 140% more calcium than adult dogs. In […]

5 fall tips for protecting your pet’s health
(BPT) – Whether fall is when you switch out your exercise regimen or schedule your annual flu shot, staying healthy is at the top of most “to do” lists right now. Just remember your four-legged family members when considering seasonal changes to your wellness program. Fall is the perfect time to take steps to keep pets healthy, too. 1) Plan that vet visit. Annual check-ups that include immunizations, physical exams, routine blood work and prescription refills are as important to pet health as they are to human health. Routine wellness visits can also save pet-care dollars in the long run through preventive care and early disease detection. If your pet missed his or her annual check-up last spring, consider getting that visit rescheduled. Most veterinarians offer pet wellness appointments with curbside drop-off and pick-up to help safeguard owners’ health. 2) Get off the couch. Summer’s heat is giving way to cooler temperatures, so resist the temptation to forgo your dog’s evening walk for yet another movie marathon. Not only will outdoor exercise help whittle your pet’s waistline and promote joint health, but getting outside to enjoy the fall colors can boost your own caloric burn and mental outlook as well. […]

Pet-friendly design tips
(BPT) – Whether you’re dreaming of a complete home remodel or a simple decor update, you may not be factoring your pets in your decision-making and overall design process. But how many times have you regretted a furniture or upholstery choice once Fido or Fluffy got their paws (and fur) on it? You can make any room look more stylish, even if you have a chronic shedder or scratcher living in your home. All it takes is a little planning and some research on the best products to stand up to your furry family members. “No matter how you want to update or refresh your home, it’s best to be proactive by considering the amount of traffic, the overall purpose the room serves and what kind of wear your room will endure from people and pets,” says Katie Allen, design and trend director at LL Flooring. “Then pick products and furnishings that will both look great and stand the test of time.” Here are some tips for your next remodel, ensuring you and your pets will love the new space: Start with a durable base Changing up your flooring can completely transform the look of the room, but you have […]

Finding confidence in quarantine: Survey shows how COVID-19 influences makeup usage
(BPT) – As being in quarantine and weathering the COVID-19 pandemic continues to put a damper on things, American women are turning to their makeup routines to feel a sense of control and comfort, according to new research. In September, marketing firm OnePoll asked 2,000 American women about how they’re staying positive and confident as their time in quarantine and social distancing drags on. According to the findings, 51% said wearing makeup and changing up their looks turned out to be a small way to help them escape the stress of current affairs. If you’re feeling the need to switch things up, you’re not alone. Read on to discover more survey findings to inspire ideas to help you feel your best. Going for natural beauty: Since the onset of the pandemic, we’ve seen a palpable shift in mood to a more low-key, understated aesthetic. After all, when video meetings and intimate (but open-air) gatherings continue to define our interactions, we may be less focused on going for glam and more on dressing for warmth and casual comfort. For that reason, respondents identified a rise in more natural makeup looks as a key trend of 2021. Leveraging makeup with benefits: A […]

Ozone Therapy
Most people have heard of Ozone, but only in how it relates to the Earth’s atmosphere in which it absorbs the ultraviolet light, is considered a pollutant, and is thin with holes in it. Ozone has actually been used therapeutically for 150 years. It is a gas, which is colorless, and is a form of oxygen. Ozone Therapy is widely used in other countries including Germany, Russia, and Cuba. There are professional medical Ozonotherapy societies in over ten countries worldwide. Ozone has been studied globally for its ability to disinfect and treat disease by inactivating bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast and protozoa, stimulation of oxygen metabolism, and activation of the immune system. Also referred to as Ozonotherapy, it is used in alternative medicine. There are claims that it will increase the amount of oxygen in the body through the introduction of ozone. Diseases treated are infected wounds, circulatory disorders, geriatric conditions, macular degeneration, viral diseases, rheumatism/arthritis, cancer, SARS, and AIDS. Ozone therapy leaves bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, and protozoa essentially inactive. While its natural form is a gas, it should not be inhaled as it irritates the airways. It is administered directly to the tissue in a protective covering, intravenously, or […]

Give Me a Head with Hair…
Long beautiful hair, Shining, gleaming, steaming, flaxen, waxen” (from the 1967 Musical Hair). Having a full head of wonderful, luxurious, beautiful hair is one of the first things a person notices when they see you. Hair has always had psychological and sociological importance throughout the ages. For many, it is their crowning glory. The thought of thinning hair has brought about some wild and crazy hair growth remedies throughout the ages. Ancient Egyptians went so far as to include a mixture of fats from a hippopotamus, crocodile, tomcat, snake and ibex or porcupine hair boiled in water and applied to the scalp for four days. In 1936, the introduction of the Xervac, a machine that purportedly used suction to spur hair growth. In 19th-century England, people affected with thinning hair would rub “cold India tea” and pieces of lemon into their scalps. Let’s be honest, hair loss effects self-image and self-confidence for both men and women. Once you have hair, you do not want to say farewell to it. The newest technique in hair growth rejuvenation are the use of Exosomes. These are micro-vesicles, about 1/1000th the size of a normal cell and are involved in normal intercellular communication.
