Sixty Five Plus
Nutrition and physical activity continue to be important as we grow older. A healthy combination of good food and exercise can delay or even reverse many of the problems associated with ageing, helping older New Zealanders to continue living independently and enjoy a good quality of life.
To help you feel at your best, have at least three meals every day. Include plenty of different vegetables and fruits. Eat from all four food groups.
Read the Ministry of Health’s “Eating for Healthy Older People” resource to learn about the recommended number of serves for each food group. Maintain a healthy weight. If your weight is a little low, have a snack between meals.
Have at least 6-8 glasses of fluids each day, such as water, tea, coffee, and low-fat, calcium-enriched milk, unless recommended otherwise by your doctor. Try to be active every day.
Specsavers has been at the forefront of eye care for several years, providing unparalleled services that cater to a wide range of needs.
They understand the importance of regular eye examinations to identify any potential issues early on and prevent any further damage to your vision. As a result, they recommend that individuals over the age of sixty-five should book an eye test at least every two years.
This is because as we age, our eyes undergo various changes that can affect our visual health and eye functions. Regular eye tests help to detect any abnormalities, diseases, or conditions that may develop over time, such as cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, and diabetic retinopathy.
In addition, these eye tests can also identify any changes in your prescription if you have existing vision problems such as short-sightedness, long-sightedness, or astigmatism. By detecting these changes early.
By helping to reduce the appearance of lines and wrinkles, anti-wrinkle injections can offer a natural looking, minimally invasive refresh.
Our cosmetic injectors, all doctors or registered nurses who specialise in the field of cosmetic injectables, work with you to select the best treatment, or build the best treatment package, to help address your concerns.
The dynamic lines around the eyes and forehead are the most commonly requested areas for treatment, but injectables can also be used to help improve the appearance of the neck and jawline, soften lines around the nose and mouth, and help enhance the brow.
Results commonly can last for up to four months – so that’s four months of enjoying a more youthful, rested appearance. Individual results may vary.
Dental Implants: What you need to Know?
Dental implants are medical devices surgically implanted into the jaw to restore a person’s ability to chew or their appearance. They provide support for artificial (fake) teeth, such as crowns, bridges, or dentures.
Dental implant systems consist of a dental implant body and dental implant abutment and may also include an abutment fixation screw. The dental implant body is surgically inserted in the jawbone in place of the tooth’s root.
The dental implant abutment is usually attached to the implant body by the abutment fixation screw and extends through gums into the mouth to support the attached artificial teeth.
Dental implant procedures usually include a few different steps

Signs That Your Dentures Need to Be Replaced.
It is generally accepted among dentists and insurance carriers that traditional acrylic dentures last about five years before they require replacement.
Dentures made from newer, high-quality resins last longer, up to 10 years on average. However, the age of the denture is not the only determining factor for replacing dentures.
Any time you begin to have issues with your dentures seek a dental professional’s advice. Sometimes it’s possible to correct a minor problem with an adjustment or improve the fit with a reline.
Hair loss (alopecia) can affect just your scalp or your entire body, and it can be temporary or permanent. It can be the result of heredity, hormonal changes, medical conditions or a normal part of aging. Anyone can lose hair on their head, but it’s more common in men.
Baldness typically refers to excessive hair loss from your scalp. Hereditary hair loss with age is the most common cause of baldness. Some people prefer to let their hair loss run its course untreated and unhidden.
Others may cover it up with hairstyles, makeup, hats or scarves. And still others choose one of the treatments available to prevent further hair loss or restore growth.

While in the last few years there has been a huge expansion in the range of EV models at different prices available in New Zealand.
However, if you look at the total cost of running and maintaining these vehicles over a five-year period, EVs are coming out cheaper.
When you buy a new EV, it will come with a warranty that typically guarantees the battery for at least five years, or for a specified distance (such as 100,000km).
Practically though, an EV battery should last 10-20 years before it degrades to a point it no longer provides useful range.
We’ve seen a surge of new EV models come on to the market in the last few years, and these days a driving range of 300km is within easy reach for most new EVs. Many have ranges over 400km.
