Exercising helps relieve stress, gives us energy and helps manage weight through all the parties! If you can´t get in your normal routine, lower your standards and do what you need to do! Here are a few things to help you through the craziness of the holidays! KEEP MOVING:
In the Kitchen With Chef Tommy: Cream Cheese Pepper Jelly Christmas TreeThis recipe was taken from – Country Living
Slice cream cheese in half diagonally, making two triangles. Invert one triangle and place it alongside the other to make a Christmas tree shaped triangle. Place on a platter or serving tray. Use a paring knife to cut away bits of the triangle, creating tree branches. Step 2 Spoon alternating stripes of green and red pepper jelly along the “tree.” Place a wine cork at the bottom of the tree to create the stump. Serve with crackers alongside. Enjoy! And remember, if it looks and smells good, eat it!!
Crazy, Zany Facts About Christmas We Bet You Didn´t Know
Dental Talk - A Member Blog Forum:
These are just a few of the topics. Our blog site contains many other interesting topics. Please join us!! Questions From Our MembersR. Adams of Mesa, Arizona asks:“ I keep seeing ads on TV for ‘One Day Dentures’. Are the ads true and can they really do implants in one day?” Savon’s AnswerThe technical answer is yes. That being said, the implants (studs that go into the bone) can be done in one day. When you leave the office you´ll go home with a temporary set of teeth that look, feel, and function like natural teeth.Keep in mind that these are temporary teeth. It can take as few as several weeks to a few months for the implants to bond and heal. Once the implants are healed they will remove the temporary teeth and replace them with new permanent teeth. Tooth Talk With Tommy The Wisdom Tooth The 10 Worst Jobs For Your Lungs!
If You Work In General Health Care - The powder from latex gloves affects an estimated 12% of health care workers. Symptoms include asthma like problems. Even if you don´t come in to physical contact, another worker simply removing or replacing their gloves can send micro particles of latex powder in to the air. Reportedly this has affected patients as well, and while it is not necessarily life threatening, it has ended a few jobs. If You Work In Textiles - Textile workers who make upholstery, towels, socks, bed linens, and clothes are at risk for what is known as Byssinosis (or Brown Lung Disease). Particles from cotton and other materials get in to the air and get inhaled into the lungs. The risk is especially elevated if you are a smoker. Wearing protective masks and properly ventilating your work area will reduce the risk. If You Work As A Bartender - Of course the risk here would have been second hand smoke, but most states have outlawed smoking in public places, thus greatly reducing this risk. If, however, you still work in a place where second hand smoke is present, ask for better ventilation or see about changing your job. If You Are a Baker - Surprisingly, 15% of new adult asthma cases are directly related to baking or working with flour. Again, it´s a simple as wearing a mask. If You Work At A Body Shop - Auto repair and customization hold certain threats from airborne particles from paint or any other spray chemical. Over exposure can cause severe asthmatic reactions. In some cases, protective gear is not enough. If You Work In Transportation - Loading or unloading docks and railroad workers especially, diesel exhaust puts you at risk for COPD. Wear a mask and stay out of the direct line of fire. If You Are A Miner - Miners, in general, are at a great risk for COPD due to the amount of dust exposure. Another risk is Silicosis. Caused from airborne silica (or quartz), it´s a disease that scars the lungs. Coal miners in particular are at risk of pneumoconiosis (black lung). Filtering masks and limited exposure can help. If you are a firefighter - Firefighting is a very dangerous job to have altogether and the health risks involved are just as bad. Firefighters are at risk for nearly any kind of respiratory problem. Smoke being the obvious trigger, they are also exposed to many different random chemicals. Protective gear protects them from most of this (if, that is, they are wearing them). 1http://www.health.com/health/gallery/0,,20443619_1,00.html A Holiday Message From Our Family To YoursWow! Another year has already flown by! Time flies when you are having fun! We want to take this opportunity to say thank you to our members who have continued to show their trust by keeping their dental plan. We would like to say a special thank you to all of our members that have referred new members to us. It is only because of our members that we have been able to survive these tough economic times.Here at Savon, we are doing everything in our power to keep from adjusting the Schedule of Fees and Benefits (what you pay at the dentist). We will continue our efforts to every extent that we can until we start losing providers. We are in constant discussions with our provider and we are trying to get them to understand that raising our fees is not in the best interest of our members, our plan and their practice. We would also like to remind you of our holiday hours: November
