Veterans benefits to help subsidize the cost of Assisted Living

One of the most misunderstood of all Veterans Affairs programs is the veteran's benefit for a non-service connected disability. There is a "pension program" available for individuals who are disabled due to the complexities of old age, and need assistance with activities of daily living. Basic activities of daily living (ADL's) include: bathing, dressing, grooming, incontinence care, transfer, ambulation, etc. Instrumental ADL's are items such as transportation, laundry, housekeeping and meal preparation. This VA benefit is also defined as an Aid and Attendance benefit, because an individual requires the regular aid (help) and attendance (presence) of another person in order to avoid the dangers and hazards incident to their daily living environment.

This Aid and Attendance benefit is available to a veteran or a widow or widower of a veteran. A married veteran can receive up to a maximum of $1,950 per month in benefits, a single veteran $1,644, and a widow or widower can receive up to $1,057 per month for the year 2010.

All about Porcelain Veneers for your teeth Porcelain veneers ( or "laminates") can help brighten front teeth that have permanent stains or discoloration that can't be whitened. They may be used to correct small gaps between the front teeth, or to fix teeth that are poorly shaped or slightly crooked. We may recommend veneers to cover teeth that are chipped, worn or eroded at the gum-line from aggressive brushing.

Porcelain veneers are thin, custom-made shells made by a master lab technician that we affixes to the teeth in a simple, comfortable procedure that requires just a few appointments. They are made from glazed porcelain. This is the best material available, based on durability, stain resistance and a natural look. But due to the fact they are custom-made by hand... costs for some are a consideration. For a less expensive alternative, consider GLAMSMILEâ„¢ !

How it's done

During your first visit, we will select the color veneers that will best match or blend with your natural teeth. We then remove a small amount of enamel from the front and sides of the teeth. This is done so that when the veneers are attached, the teeth won't look or feel bulky. After the enamel is reduced, we take an impression of the prepared teeth. A model is made from the impressions so that the veneers are compatible with your bite. The model is sent to a dental laboratory where the veneers are fabricated. A BIG benefit of this process - Patients can wear a "copy" of the final cosmetic result prior to approval with custom-made "temporaries"!

During the next visit, a mild etching solution is applied to the surface of the teeth. Using a special dental cement, the veneers are carefully set in place. Once the veneers are attached, a high-intensity light is used to harden them. Continuation - Porcelain veneers for your teeth

Strength training tips

Squats are the BEST exercise

What is the single most important functional exercise? Without question, it is the squat, an exercise that works the large muscles of the legs to improve our mobility, stability and ability to carry out our daily activities with ease. The squat is identical to the movement we need to get up from a chair or go down to the floor. It strengthens the muscles of the glutes, hamstrings and quadriceps in an integrated fashion to create stability in the lower body and empower our movements. And as a bonus, it is one of the best exercises for shaping the bottom line!

It is essential to master the proper technique of squatting to minimize stress on the knees. These three exercises offer a progression for building up strength and learning the correct form, i.e. how to keep your weight back on your heels and your knees behind your toes in the lowered position. For all variations, begin with one set of 10-15 reps and progress to 2-3 sets.

Wall Squat: Begin with the Wall Squat, in which you lean some of your body weight against the wall and slide up and down.

Stand with your back against the wall.

Take a giant step out and plant both feet securely on the floor about hip-width apart.

Slowly bend your knees and slide down the wall until your thighs are parallel to the floor, or as far as you can comfortably go (if you are just beginning, slide partway down the wall).

Make sure that in the fully bent position, your knees are over your ankles, not forward of them.

Pause, then exhale and squeeze the buttocks as you slide back up, keeping your head, shoulders and hips against the wall.

This exercise is also called The Olympic Rest because it is a great ski-conditioning exercise that can be done outdoors, leaning against a tree. For this kind of endurance training, hold the position for as long as you can, for example 30-90 seconds.

Should you try a Gluten-free diet?If you have symptoms or feelings such as nasal allergies, low back pain, asthma, autoimmune-rheumatoid arthritis, dermatitis, eczema, endocrine disorders, hypertension, gastrointestinal diseases, lymphoma, neuropathies, acute psychosis, feeling a general sense that something is not quite right, feeling constantly on edge, anxiety, irritability and moodiness, brain fog, hard time staying focused especially in a class or lecture, general aches and pains anywhere in the body short term memory difficulty you may want to try a gluten-free diet for three months..

The diet must be completely gluten free, not just reducing gluten intake. You may have been tested for gluten allergies and no gluten allergy or sensitivity was found. This may not matter as often moderate or mild gluten sensitivities can cause significant discomfort and the test often doesn't detect mild or moderate gluten sensitivities. A gluten free diet isn't hard, especially if your improvements are significant enough to make it worthwhile to stay gluten free. Many people become able to enjoy their lives much more after stopping gluten.

A gluten free diet means avoiding such products as wheat,oats, barley, rye or their derivatives (including: bread, breading, buns, rolls, croutons), couscous, orzo, bulgar, duram, malt, malt vinegar, rice pilaf, seitan, semonlina, soy sauce, spelt or stuffing. There are web sites that give substitutes and most health food stores know how to make suggestions for gluten free baking and cooking. Drinks, such as ale, beer, bourbon, brandy, cognac, gin, malt liquors, rye, scotch,vodka and root beer have gluten in them..

Gluten free foods include meats, seafoods, fruits, vegetables, amaranth, arrowroot, beans, buckwheat, corn, millet, nut flowers, potato, quinoa, rice, soy, tapioca, and vinegar (except malt vinegar). Gluten free alcohols include champagne, port, rum, tequla, wine and potato/grape vodka. Gluten is also in many soaps, shampoos and cosmetics.

Have fun with the gluten free experiment. Some people only feel better and better during the experiment. A few experience some moodiness and intense cravings. Holistic doctors, nutrition professionals, and Integrative Manual Therapist can make this easier.Written by: Herring, Integrative Manual TherapistInnovative Pain Release Center, LLC1769 town Roadburg, VA 23185Phone - Website - Innovative Pain ReleaseE-mail Herring

The program has limitations related to income and assets, however, unreimbursed medical expenses may be used to reduce the applicant's income. The cost of an assisted living facility is an allowable medical deduction which will reduce income to a much lower net income, allowing an applicant to qualify for this benefit. Examples of other medical expenses include: dentures, eyeglasses, hearing aids, hospital expenses, insulin treatment, wheelchair, prescription drugs, etc.

Here are the basic eligibility requirements:

Must be at least age 65.

Physician must declare claimant as housebound and in need of assistance from another individual (this includes services offered by an Assisted Living Facility).

Must have served 90 days and at least one day during wartime.

Income & Asset limitations, which allows for the deduction of "unreimbursed medical expenses" (mentioned above).

It is never too early to begin to educate yourself about the benefits that are available to you. It is also never too early to educate yourself about the assisted living communities in your area, so that you can determine the community that will best meet your needs.

Taking care of veneers

Good oral hygiene and regular dental visits are needed to keep your teeth healthy. We may recommend that you avoid some foods and beverages, such as tea, coffee, red wine, other heavily pigmented foods, and tobacco that can discolor your veneers. Veneers may chip or crack. Avoid chewing on hard objects, such as pencils or ice. Like any dental restoration, it is possible, over time, for veneers to dislodge. In that case, new ones may be needed.

Fast Facts

Results: Can fix one imperfect tooth or give you an entirely new smile

Advantages: Long-lasting results; In most cases, noninvasive procedure; virtually instant gratification.

Disadvantages: Won't last forever; Potential for initial sensitivity; As you age, non-treated teeth will yellow naturally and may have to be bleached in order to match; Enamel is removed so teeth may become sensitive to hot or cold; Although not likely, veneers can be dislodged or fall out;NOT reversible and NOT permanent.

Cost: Because each veneer is a custom-made all-porcelain restoration BY HAND, they are NOT inexpensive! Fees range from $1200 to $2,300 per tooth, depending on the difficulty of your case, as well as the education and experience of the dentist and ceramist.

Endurance: Can last 6 to 10 years in most cases. With good care, they can last well beyond.

Upkeep: Avoid prescription-grade fluoride, which can stain; stop the fingernail biting, which can chip or crack the porcelain. If you tend to grind your teeth or play a sport such as racquetball, soccer, or basketball, a professional mouth-guard is recommended Written by: H.

Chair Squat, Sit to Stand: This movement rehearses the one we need everyday in order to get up from a seated position

Sit on the edge of a sturdy chair, your knees bent at a right angle and positioned over your ankles. Your feet should be parallel and hip width apart. Place your hands on your waist.

Lean forward from the hip with your spine straight.

Exhale and squeeze the buttocks as you press through your feet to stand up.

Straighten your knees (without locking them) at the end of the movement to come to a fully upright position.

Pause, then slowing sit back down, reaching your hips back toward the seat, heels firmly planted on the floor.

Chair Squat, Stand to Sit: This version of the squat uses the chair behind you to cue you into the proper body mechanics and to help determine a full range of motion.

Stand in front of a chair with your feet parallel, hip-width apart.

Shift your weight back onto your heels: imagine that they are nailed to the floor.

Bring your arms forward for balance and look straight ahead.

Inhale as you bend your knees and reach back with your hips, lowering yourself toward the chair as if you were going to sit down.

Continue to bend your knees until you tap the edge of the chair with your hips (don't actually sit down). If you are testing out your knees, just go partway down.

Exhale as you squeeze your buttocks to return to the start position.

If I were to recommend one exercise for life, it would definitely be the squat. It is the most functional move, requires no equipment and takes only a few minutes to complete a set or two. For a minimum investment of time and energy, the pay-off is dramatic in terms of benefit to your well-being.
