Feeling Renewed at Any Age 2 Ways to Revive Your Life This Summer
Pay attention to mental health.
If the mercurial spring weather has prevented you from getting out as much as you would have liked these past few months, you might be feeling a bit of cabin fever about now. Luckily, you can still introduce positive changes to your life that help you feel healthier and younger. Here are two ways to awaken your body and mind. Adopt a new activity. As you get older, it’s not uncommon to drift further from the lifestyle you had in your 20s and 30s. Things have settled down, and you know a bit more about who you are, what you enjoy, and what you’re capable of. With this better understanding, you can make choices more aligned with your true interests and personality. Think about getting involved with a new activity you may have always wanted to try but never had the chance, like yoga or even a video game. Trying out new things keeps your brain active. You may even discover a new favorite activity along the way!
Although more years provide more experience and knowledge, sometimes they also come with heavy baggage. The loss of a loved one, trauma, and other struggles can impact your life
in later years. This is why it’s good to practice mindfulness.
Take some time to focus on the present. Go for a walk and listen to the world around you, feel the fresh air against
your skin, fill your lungs, and take in everything you can see. Meditation is also a good way to spend a few minutes to focus on your body in the moment and the things in life that make you happy. Practices like these can help you feel lighter, both physically and emotionally.
Growing older doesn’t mean you can’t feel renewed and positive. This isn’t just an impossible idea — it’s a reality.
Medication is tough to understand at first, but our expert team at Omaha Insurance Solutions is here to help you through every step. Let’s look at two of the most common questions we get about diabetes medication: What’s Jardiance? Can it replace insulin? Jardiance is a brand-name medication that will help control your glucose (blood sugar) and lower your hemoglobin A1C by affecting how your kidneys process sugar. It helps process sugar through urine so you won’t have sugar buildup in your blood.
develop excessively high or low blood sugar. This can play a role in developing diabetes.
Some people mistakenly think that Jardiance is all they need to control their blood glucose, but it’s not a replacement for insulin. Jardiance can certainly help your blood glucose levels but through an entirely different means than insulin. Therefore, it cannot replace the necessary role of insulin. It can work well in tandem with other diabetes medications, but always talk to your doctor about their recommendations. (It’s very important to talk to a doctor about your medications and how they interact with each other; do not stop taking a medication without first talking to your doctor.) It’s also important to know that Jardiance is a brand-name medication. Currently, there’s no generic medication available for Jardiance’s formula. This means that you’ll often be paying a premium to use Jardiance. While it can certainly be helpful for many diabetics to take Jardiance in tandem with their insulin and other medication, your options for controlling blood glucose aren’t limited to Jardiance. Make sure to stay up to date and ask plenty of questions about your medication concerns. If you have any questions for our team, just give us a call at 402-614-3389.
