    Buying a stairlift is much more than a monetary transaction.

    Buying a stairlift is not just a monetary transaction, it is an investment in one's quality of life and independence. A stairlift can greatly improve a person's mobility and ability to move around their own home, which can have a positive impact on their physical and emotional well-being. It can also provide peace of mind for both the person using the stairlift and their loved ones, as it reduces the risk of falls and injuries.

    Having a stairlift can also provide a sense of security and safety, allowing the person to move around their home with more confidence, which can lead to increased self-esteem and self-worth. This can also help them to maintain their independence and continue to live in their own home, rather than having to move to a nursing home or assisted living facility.

    Additionally, it can improve the person's ability to participate in activities and events on different floors of their home, such as visiting with family and friends, going to the bedroom, or

    Five Key Benefits Of The iWalk

    The award winning iWALK is a hands-free crutch and is the best alternative to conventional crutches and knee scooters for all below-the-knee injuries.

    Five key benefits of the iWalk:

    1. Improved mobility: With traditional crutches, you have to rely on your upper body strength to propel yourself forward. This can be tiring and may not be feasible for people with limited upper body strength. With an iWalk, you can use your legs to move forward, which can be less tiring and allow you to cover longer distances more easily.
    2. Increased independence: The iWalk allows you to move around more easily and independently, which can be especially helpful if you have a temporary injury or disability.

    Top Tips For Hydration

    Hydration is critical to maintaining a healthy body and nothing hydrates you better than plain water. Even though it is not officially a nutrient, it is essential to our health and, despite media stories highlighting how important water is, most of us still don’t drink enough of it. How much water do you drink on a daily basis?

    First, some medical facts by way of illustration:

    Your kidneys may not work as effectively with age, leading to a fluid imbalance in your body.

    Since your body has less water composition as you age, you become dehydrated much quicker than when you were younger.

    On average, we should aim to drink about 2 litres of water a day to prevent dehydration. That’s the equivalent of about 8 glasses – not a lot when you break it down.

    Dehydration causes fatigue and lethargy, so your energy levels suffer and you’re less likely to want to exercise. By making sure you get enough water every day, you may be surprised at how much more alert,
