WISHBONES TIPS-  THIS MONTH LETS TALK ABOUT PET THERAPY !  PET THERAPY OR ANIMAL ASSISTED THERAPY IS A GROWING FIELD THAT USES DOGS, CATS OR OTHER ANIMALS TO HELP PEOPLE COPE WITH HEALTH PROBLEMS LIKE HEART DISEASE, CANCER AND MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS. ANIMALS CAN ALSO HELP RELIEVE STRESS AND BEGIN THE HEALING PROCESS WHEN HUMANS ARE RECOVERING FROM SURGERY OR A CHRONIC ILLNESS.  ANIMALS HELP HUMANS BY PROVIDING A NICE SOFT HEAD TO PAT OR A CHIN TO SCRATCH. HUMANS HELP ANIMALS BY PROVIDING FOOD AND WATER AND A WARM PLACE TO STAY.

SOME BENEFITS OF PET THERAPY FOR PHYSICAL HEALTH ARE:

  • LOWERS BLOOD PRESSURE
  • IMPROVES CARADIOVASCULAR HEALTH
  • RELEASES ENDORPHINS THAT HAVE A CALMING EFFECT
  • DIMINSHES OVERALL PHYSICAL PAIN
  • THE ACT OF PETTING PRODUCES AN AUTOMATIC RELAXATION RESPONSE, REDUCING THE AMOUNT OF MEDICATION SOME FOLKS NEED.

IN THE MONTHS OF JANUARY AND FEBRUARY IN WESTERN NEW YORK THERE IS NOT MUCH SUNLIGHT AND MANY PEOPLE SUFFER FROM DEPRESSION.  A DOG, CAT OR OTHER FURRY FRIEND CAN DEFINITELY HELP TO LIFT YOUR SPIRITS.  SOME PET THERAPY BENEFITS FOR MENTAL HEALTH ARE:

  • ENCOURAGES COMMUNICATION
  • PROVIDES COMFORT AND LESSENS DEPRESSION
  • DECREASES FEELINGS OF ISOLATION AND ALIENATION
  • REDUCES BOREDOM
  • DECREASES ANXIETY
  • HELPS CHILDREN OVERCOME SPEECH AND EMOTIONAL DISORDERS
  • REDUCES LONELINESS

 Indoor Air Professionals offers  air duct cleaning, mold testing and remediation, and dryer vent cleaning.

Air Duct Cleaning is an important and often overlooked part of home maintenance. Are you aware that up to 40 pounds of dust is created annually in an average home? Air pollutants include dander, dust, and chemicals. These pollutants travel through the HVAC system and re-circulated 5 to 7 times per day.  Over time this causes a build-up in the duct work.  This build-up causes your HVAC system to work harder and can shorten the life of your system.

     

Mold Testing and Remediation is an important aspect of home maintenance especially since some people exposed to mold spores can have reactions such as asthma, eye irritation, fever, wheezing, inflammation in the lungs, and skin rashes.

Dryer Vent Cleaning is another very important aspect of home maintenance. Clogged clothes dryer vents cause more than 15,000 fires a year and are the #1 cause of dryer failure.  Be sure to have your dryer vent cleaned periodically.

COMFORT FOOD: food that provides consolation or a feeling of well-being, typically any with a high sugar or other carbohydrate content and associated with childhood or home-cooking.

The phrase "comfort food"  has been around at least as early as 1966, when the Palm Beach Post used it in a story on obesity: " Adults, when under severe emotional stress, turn to what would be called "comfort food" - food associated with the security of childhood, like mother's poached egg or famous chicken soup."  Sometimes when we eat, what we are hungry for isn't food, it's the taste of memory.

Here are the Top Ten  Comfort Foods from Taste of Home

Chicken Pot Pie, Meat Loaf and Mashed Potatoes, Seafood Casserole, Beef Stew, Chicken and Dumplings,  Parmesan Mashed Potatoes, Lasagna, Fudge Brownies, Macaroni and Cheese and Carrot Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting.
