BODY WRAP SPA
Lose inches, gain vitality with an all-natural herbal body wrap All-natural body wraps are a relaxing way to lose inches while minimizing cellulite and stretch marks. Noted benefits of this practice date back to ancient times. Sound too good to be true? One visit to the Body Wrap Spa could change your mind. “When I first came to the Body Wrap Spa, I was a bit skeptical about the whole process,” said client Mark F, who recently has lost 30 inches. “But over the past months, I have seen a dramatic change in how I look and feel. I also found that including working out and eating right, along with head to toe body wraps, it’s much
easier to keep the weight off. “ The spa’s all-natural solution is heated and soaked into elastic bandages (wraps) that are then compression wrapped around the body. Heat from the wraps causes pores to open, while a mix of amino acids, collagen, vitamins and minerals causes toxins to be drawn from the skin and cellulite to be attacked directly. The result is skin tightening and firming; cellulite elimination; fading of stretch marks and surgical scars; and a recontoured, sculpted shape. Our solutions contain the only FDA-approved ingredients
When you were younger, you probably listened to your music as loud as you could because it was cool. Now, as you’re getting older, you may find yourself turning up the volume again. But now it’s because your hearing may not be what it used to be. The volume knob isn’t the only signal you are having trouble hearing. It may be harder to communicate with family and friends. Suddenly, you can barely hear the waitress at your favorite restaurant. You’re still young, but your hearing is making you feel old. You’re not alone — nearly 40 percent of hearingimpaired Americans are younger than 65. Hearing loss is a major problem in today’s society. It is the third most prevalent chronic condition after arthritis and high blood pressure. Why is hearing loss such an issue now? Well, the largest segment of the American population is the baby boomers, which has been exposed to more noise pollution than any previous generation. Just think about how things have changed during your lifetime. There have been wild rock concerts, bass-thumping discos, action-packed movies and, most recently, personal music devices. Prolonged or loud noise exposure has overtaken age as the leading cause of hearing loss.
New Generation of Hearing Technology The new demographics of hearing loss are changing
The newest Willow Brook Christian Community, Willow Brook at Delaware Run, celebrated its grand opening on the western edge of Delaware just a few days ago. At the event, members of the board of trustees and the chamber of commerce and the mayor of Delaware used their scissors to cut an 84-foot-long ribbon that surrounded the Village Square’s mezzanine. The 400- plus visitors then spread across the $14,000,000 building’s apartments, gathering areas and health care center to sample delicacies provided by the village chefs in
the outdated stigma that hearing instruments are only for old people. Like the technology used in cell phones, computers and MP3 players, the science behind hearing instruments is advancing at breakneck speed. They are smaller and more discreet than ever before, and they work even more effectively. Today’s hearing instruments come in a variety of colors to blend with skin tones and hair color. With technological advancements, no one but you has to know you’re wearing a hearing instrument.
Reverse mortgage offers peace of mind An Upper Arlington couple wasn’t looking to get out from under a burdensome mortgage or gain more income. In fact, the couple was financially comfortable and fairly certain they would be in their home for the rest of their lives. In their 70s, they simply were seeking asset protection and insurance against whatever the future might bring. They wanted their largest investment to pay off while they were still around to enjoy the benefits. “We wanted to get as much out of the house as we could while we were alive,” said the husband. As a ministerial servant for his church, the husband had helped fellow parishioners in financial trouble to use a reverse mortgage. “For the people I’ve put onto it — it’s a life saver,” he said. After researching the option for years on behalf of others, he decided it made sense for his own family. “It really is an excellent tool.” “Reverse mortgages allow homeowners age 62

Join the thousands of older Americans who have used reverse mortgages to stay in their homes throughout retirement.

and older to convert part of their home’s equity into income without having to sell their home, give up title, or incur a new monthly payment,” said Tina Vogel Kuba, a reverse mortgage expert at Mortgage Corp. of Ohio. A reverse mortgage can provide cash flow to recipients in retirement for items such as health care, home maintenance or increased cost of living. Repayment is not necessary until the borrower sells the property, moves into a retirement community or passes away. “You just don’t know what’s coming down the road,” the husband said. To educate the public about reverse mortgages, Kuba will conduct a free seminar on Oct. 28, 2:30 p.m., at the Dublin Public Library at 75 N. High St. For an individual consultation, contact Kuba at 614-761-1200 or 800-589-1355. Please visit MortgageCorpofOhio.com to try the reverse mortgage calculator.

Willow Brook officials announced at the opening that only five apartments and eight twin-single homes remained unspoken for on that campus, and just a few twin-singles are still available to Willow Brook Christian Village nearby. Willow Brook’s retirement communities in Delaware offer spacious and comfortable twinsingle homes and apartments with entrance fees ranging from $68,000 to
$230,000. Willow Brook Christian Communities began in 1972, with Willow Brook Christian Home, on Lazelle Road on the northern edge of Franklin County. Willow Brook Christian Village, on the south side of Delaware, opened in 1990. Willow Brook was founded by members of the Churches of Christ and is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to providing housing, health care and services to older adults.

Protect yourself from seasonal influenza (NAPSI) — With the start of seasonal influenza season, health care officials at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) are reminding Americans that the single most effective way to prevent the flu is to get a flu shot. In particular, high-risk individuals are strongly encouraged to get vaccinated. Here’s why: On average, every year, influenza: ■ Infects 60 million people ■ Hospitalizes 200,000 people ■ Kills more Americans than breast cancer ■ Kills two to three times more Americans than HIV/AIDS ■ Kills the equivalent of a major league stadium full of people
To help protect yourself from viruses, the kind of soap you use matters less than how thorough you are. For maximum germkilling efficiency, follow these steps: ■ Wet your hands in warm water and apply liquid or clean bar soap. When you are finished washing your hands, let the bar soap drain. ■ Rub your hands together and scrub all surfaces carefully. ■ Don’t hurry. Continue for 10 to 15 seconds. Scrubbing helps dislodge and remove germs. ■ Rinse well and dry your hands thoroughly. Everyone in the family should wash before eating or handling food, after using the toilet or changing a diaper.
