  • Hearing Device : WiderSound Review

    Review

    The other day I received a shipment from WiderSound. They sent me the latest hearing device, which I had ordered. The C100. It is a hearing device which doesn’t really need the hearing exam before ordering. It came in the mail. It was small enough to fit in my mailbox.

    Hearing Aid
    A Hearing Aid may Be One Answer

    Upon receiving it, I promptly opened it up. I sort of knew what to expect. But it still was nice to find the two hearing  devices came in a black box which is also  the charge box you will use to recharge the battery located in each ear piece. It takes a while to do so, therefore my advice is to charge them up before use.

    Additionally  each hearing aid device is color coded, so you shouldn’t mix up the ear.

    The color coding goes like this: Blue is the right ear and red is the left ear. There are ear covering on the top of each device. This is to adjust to your ear opening if there is any need.

    Dane got a hearing aid from these people, but they are no longer available on the internet. So he now uses a product called Cortexi for his hearing problems.

    Needed Adjustment

    Not to mention, there are a few things you need to be aware of if you use a hearing aid. 

    On the first hand, each hearing device needs adjustment.  As a matter of fact you will notice when you receive this hearing device it is delivered turned off. There is a switch on the device with which you turn the hearing aid on  and off.. 

    In addition, since it is off, once you turn it on you will need to adjust the volume. There is a screwdriver ( a small one) sent with the device to adjust the sound level. Adjust it too high and a screech will occur. Too high.

    Out  of the box and adjusted, I place the blue colored hearing aid  in my right ear ( my left doesn’t need the enhancement at the moment) I am very pleased and do say if you need a hearing device to help you, this is the one for you.

    Therefore I am going to recommend this to you. What do I get from this? I get a commission form the company for sending you there and you buying. You get a good hearing aid device and I get a commission. Win-win

    The name of the company is WiderSound.

    While it was in service it was a great place to get a hearing device. 

    I would suggest cortexi if you are slowly losing your hearing.  It takes cadre of a problem called tinnitus.

    Feel free to let me know how you are doing.  Also to read more on this subject, click here. Also I have discussed this in the article ‘how is your hearing?

  • Men Need Multivitamins Also

    It is a fact. Men need multivitamins also. There are mutivitamins for men out there. It has been said when we reach a certain age–say fifties on up, we men need to consider a multivitamin to support our health and prolong our quality of life.

    Sounds a bit like a commercial may be coming up. Not really. I just want to point out that in this day of  tension, ouer body’s tend to lose more nutrients than we take in. Not all our needs are met by what we consume in the day.

    Men need multivitamins also.

    This page will contain an affiliate link. If you choose to make a purchase after clicking a link I may receive a commission at no additional cost to you. Thank you for your attention.

    It has been said; as a man ages his ability to absorb nutrients and retain them is reduced. Therefore, taking a multivitamin to support absorption helps Also when he starts Also an illness may stop the nutrients from  to take medication, that also could retard some nutrients from getting where they should go for complete effect..

    It is nothing to be ashamed of. It is part of aging. I have discovered, as a male ages he will slow down or stop doing the things he did when younger. If he had prepared his meals before he will cut corners and sometimes consume fast food products or easy to prepare items.

    Just Which Ones Do Men Need?

    This means they need a good multivitamin. A good multivitamin for men. Not only multivitamin, but the minerals and trace elements that they are no longer getting. They need more A. Of course  this is fat soluble and excess A is stored in the fat tissues, so don’t over do. But most mutivitamin taken with a meal won’t hit the toxic level.    

    Vitamin C is a water soluble vitamin and will be used for wound healing as well as attacking the free radicals in the body. Along with C comes the E. This is a fat soluble and is stored i nthe body, but is a great help of the immune system.

    Selenium, Zinc, Calcium, Co-Enzyme Q10, are also needed now, just to mention a few more.

    What Can We Do?

    So what is the next step? Before I tell you. I must say this. I will be giving you a link to follow . This link will be to a store that has multivitamins for men.  And what is in it for me–giving you this link?  

    Along with the need for vitamins, men also seem to face hair loss.

    I get paid a commission, with no cost to you, if you buy an item using the link.

    Of course, you don’t have to buy only multivitamins for men. Feel free to buy other  items. Link  here,

    So be in good health and I will see you in the next post.

  • What to Do During The Pandemic

    Health in Nutrition with ready to serve foods

    You can ask yourself what to do during the pandemic. It seems there is so much time and you need something to do.

    We are presently not in an easy time.. And no one is to blame. Until the time we get a vaccine that the populous agrees upon and takes, we may not be able to control ourselves.

    We could choose to ignore the well intentioned guidelines set up– wear your mask when in public, don’t go to parties without your mask on, but that is not smart.

    True, during this pandemic, you may feel smarter than the authorities.  Therefore, you feel you will not get the virus.

    Believe me, I feel for you. But realize, this coronavirus, where ever it stared, is not going to go away.

    In this mornings Los Angeles Times, the front page story seemed to infer we will still be under extreme conditions in the New Year-2021. Still wearing a mask in public. Still staying six feet from each other. Still staying away from meeting in crowds. 

    I have handled this subject of the pandemic in an earlier posting. But I feel it is only wise to help you by once again letting you know you can stay sane. 

    In other words, no party’s, no church, no eating inside at restaurants, no traveling.

    An idea would to use your computer during this pandemic to stream. The library offers Hoopla. Your library card can get you in, if you link through your local library using their hookup. You can also buy or rent your  films and documentaries from Crossflix.  I can’t give you a link as this company has decided not to work with me.

    Another Great Idea- Biblio

    In that case–Are you a reader? Maybe you would prefer to curl up with a book. So you know thsat you will have to war your mask in the bookstore and find the book you want. But what is they don’t have it? Is there a way you can locate it?
    Yes, and I am glad you asked. Because I also have a link for you to help you locate that title.. This place is called Bibio. They can help you locate that book. Using a large data base they will hunt it out and let you know what they have found. Then you will have a chance to buy it and add it to your library at home.

    Another great idea is to help your system by supplementation. I would suggest you help your immune system by taking a dose of Curcumin 2000 every day. It contains tumeric which is an herb that will help you fight back the corona virus strain.

    So there are a few ideas of what to do during this pandemic. It will soon be over, but if you follow the links given, you will have an enriched life when it is all over.

  • Stay With The Plan

    Wear Your Mask

    Ten months. That is a long time to be in  obedience to a plan that makes no sense. But since you are a lemming and follow without questioning, you are not being a game player.

    The coronavirus is with us and is attacking us. I understand it is passed by droplets passed in groups. So it would be wise not to be in groups until such time as the virus is under control. But if we must be in groups, follow the rules and wear your mask.

    Wearing a mask is a good idea. Especially in groups. This is only polite. But if you are by yourself, driving or walking for exercise, you may not need it. After all, you are by yourself and the virus is not outside your door waiting to latch on to you.

    Recently a vaccine has been introduced. At the moment it is being given to first responders and hospital staff. Soon it will be given to the general public. Dr. Anthony Fauci says we may need to reach herd immunity before we can take off our masks. But I don’t see any wisdom in weqaring one in private or our own house. 

    It seems if we follow the dictates within reason, we should be on our way to controlling this virus. Not that we are going to make it disappear. P:oilio is still with us. We just have a vaccine for it so we don’t see so much of it. Lock Jaw is still with us. We have a vaccine for it. And Small Pox. I  may be repeating myself.

    The point is simple. We need to subdue the environment of viruses around us. In other words, subduing is not done by ignoring the guidelines set up by people who are trying to protect us.

    Subduing is done by getting the vaccine for teh virus– in this case, the one that is being offered.

    So when it is available and it is your turn, go quickly and start the two-shot process. The virus is worst than the shot, believe me.

    Getting the shot

    Be brave. Follow the restrictions at the  moment. The so called light at the end of the journey is dim but there. Don’t give up. And don’t be stupid and go out and get the virus. Be brave. Be safe.

  • Vitamin Supplement For Us

    Since this is a site that contains postings on the niche supplements for people 55 and up, I decided to list each vitamin supplement . This will be the subject of my earlier posts and the ones to come.

    Your Vitamin Supplement Is Vital

    Yes, it is very important we take a supplement, such as a multivitamin, as we age. When we take a multivitamin, which should always be taken with a meal, we supplement what we don’t get enough of in our diet.

    Our multivitamin can be used to treat what we are deficient in. This deficiency can be caused by an illness we have had. Also during pregnancy it is very important we supplement. Poor nutrition , which is found in fast food binges, provides another need for a multivitamin. We need, as we age, tgo keep up our intake of vitamin supplements.

     

    If we were to have a digestive disorder, that prevents us from eating certain foods, that can be a reason for the need for a supplement.

    Presenting The Supplement

    The body needs nutrients.  There are the basic nutrients for the body of the person aged 51 to 70 , and these ware the ones I hope to talk about here,

    So you will be needing the basic supplement of A. D, E, and K. These are your fat-soluble vitamins. Fat soluble is stored in the body in your fat cells and released as you need them. You can overdose if you get too much of these.

     

     Also as you approach your 50s you will need more calcium and vitamin D as you are undergoing bone loss.

    Now in Center Stage-Vitamin Supplement

    Supplement needs
    Vitamins

    Our vitamin list is as follows:

    Vitamin A: this is for healthy eyes and for general growth and development. It is still important for those of us who are in the upper age range. We still need to care for our eyes and need those healthy teeth and skin.

    So eat those carrots and sweet potatoes along with your cantaloupe and other melons.

    Vitamin B: which comes in a packet, so to speak. The B complex is good for the energy you need. It is also good for immune function and Iron absorption.

    The complex is as follows. Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Biotin, Folate.

    Vitamin C; This strengthens blood vessels. It also helps the skin elasticity. You can also find gthis as an anti-oxidant fighting the free radicals (=More about them in another post)

    Vitamin D: Ah, yes. D. We get our healthy bone help here.

    Vitamin E: This also is very useful for our blood circulation and it also protects against those nasty free radicals.

    Vitamin K Very useful.. It helps our blood clot.

    Folic Acid: Mentioned above, it gives us help in cell renewal. In addition , it can prevent birth defects in pregnancy..

    Calcium: Also  mentioned once before- this helps our healthy teeth and bones

    Iron: So now we have iron. This helps in the building of our muscles and helps give us our healthy blood.

    Zinc: Also we need this as it will help our immunity and our fertility and growth.

     

    Chromium:  This one is for our glucose function. It will make sure every cell in our body gets the energy it needs when it needs it.

    Summation And Close

    So  there you have it. I may have given you a lot to read and consider, but I feel it was needful to handle what a supplement is and what each one was. 

    I hope this brings a clarification to the web posts .

    feel free to comment to this or any other post on this web site.
