Pets often make ideal companions. They are around when a person
needs support, they can provide protection for those living alone, they’re always willing to lend an ear to problems, and many tend to offer unconditional love.
Seniors facing an empty nest or the loss of a spouse may find pets can buoy their spirits. Studies have shown that seniors can benefit both mentally and physically from having a pet around. Pets can alleviate
anxiety, depression and boredom.
While pets can provide comfort and companionship, they remain a significant responsibility. Seniors should find an animal that will fit in with their lifestyles. This is an important consideration for those seniors who travel frequently or have mobility issues.
In addition, men and women living in senior communities or assisted living facilities should determine if there are any pet
restrictions in place. Any pet can try a person’s
patience at times, especially when a kitty has used a sofa as a scratching post or when a pooch needs to be let into the yard at 3 a.m. But for many pet owners, the benefits of having a pet far outweigh the negatives.
Here are some of the many ways that pet ownership can be good for your health:
• Lower blood pressure. Petting a dog or cat can lower blood pressure, as can watching a fish

swim around a tank. Those with hypertension may want to purchase or adopt a companion animal to help lower their blood pressure.
• Reduce stress. Stress is something people face on a daily basis. According to a National Health Interview Survey, 75 per cent of the general population experiences at least some stress every two weeks, and many times that stress is moderate to severe. Research has indicated that when people spend time with a pet their levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, is lowered while their level of serotonin, a hormone associated with improved mood and well-being, is increased.
• Lower cholesterol. Lifestyle factors associated with pet ownership, particularly a focus on increased physical health and activity, can help lower cholesterol levels.
• Fight depression:. Many therapists have prescribed pet therapy as a method to alleviating and recovering from depression. A
pet is an unconditional friend and can provide that listening ear a person needs to talk through problems.
• Improve physical activity levels. Heading to the gym is one way to get a workout, but spending an hour walking the dog or tossing around a ball for a game of chase and fetch is another way to get the heart pumping.
• Reduce stroke incidences. There has been evidence that cat owners are less likely to suffer strokes than people who do not have cats. Researchers are not sure of the connection, but surmise that cats have a more calming nature than other types of pets.
• Greater opportunities for socialization: Humans are social animals and need to interact with others. Pet owners have a tendency to want to share time and experiences with other pet owners. Pets can provide opportunities for people to get together.
The companionship and love pets provide could be a key benefit in promoting good personal health.

Mission OAPO started in 1946B.C Old Age Pensioners’ Organization (OAPO)
was instituted in 1932 and incorporated in 1937.The B.C. Pensioners’ and Seniors’ Organization
promotes all matters pertaining to the welfare of the elder citizens of B.C. It presents resolutions to various levels of government and its agencies on issues that have been voted on and passed by members at the annual convention.
The B.C. Pensioners’ and Seniors’ Organization is concerned with all aspects of seniors’ lives, including, pensions, taxation, finances, health issues, home support, medicare and Pharmacare, housing and rental issues, social safety, abuse, neglect, fair treatment and loneliness.
In pursuit of these objectives the organization is governed by the principles of democracy and is non-partisan, non-racial and non-denominational.
In 1982 the B.C. OAPO established a Scholarship Society which provides scholarships to students in gerontology.
At the annual convention, members discuss and vote on the resolutions submitted by branches throughout B.C. Members of the provincial board are also elected at these conventions.
In May 1946, Mission OAPO, Branch 28 obtained its charter.
In August 1946, the first milestone for Branch 28 was to work with other OAPO groups and the western provincial governments to increase pensions, which had started at $20 in 1927 and was still only at $30 in 1946.
With in a year, after much hard work by many people, it had risen to $75.
In 1956, the OAPO Branch 28 helped to get Pleasant View started and in 1957 hosted its first OAPO convention.
The BCOAPO is affiliated with COSCO (Council of Senior Citizens Organization).

And now they’re ready for the next step.They took their first whirl around the dance floor over 50 years ago and have been kicking up their heels ever since. When they started looking for retirement living options, they were pleased to find out that Chartwell offers active lifestyle programs like their signature Rhythm n’ Moves class.
And while they are enjoying a busy lifestyle today, they appreciate the peace of mind in knowing that Chartwell offers flexibility and choice to help with changing care needs in the future. Until that time, they’ll continue to follow where the music leads in their new Chartwell home.

If you suffer from any of these problems, come in for a free consultation. In many cases we can perform same-day repairs or relines for your existing dentures.

Why do so many denture wearers struggle with poorly fitting dentures? What can be done to improve the fit? Is there any hope?
As a denturist I hear these comments from frustrated individuals every day. Before proceeding with any treatment I always spend time explaining why full and partial dentures have limitations. Here are some very important facts that everyone needs to know about dentures:
• The upper and lower jaws are designed for teeth. The periodontal ligament secures the teeth in the jaws and during chewing and swallowing it creates tensional forces that keep the jaw bones healthy.
• When some or all teeth are removed and dentures are placed the periodontal ligament disappears. This means that proprioception is lost, which is the sensation you experience when teeth touch during chewing and swallowing. Dentures now sit on the jaw bones and every time denture teeth meet they transfer pressure forces to the gums and jaws. Over time these forces cause jaw bone shrinkage. This shrinkage or bone atrophy is often imperceptible and occurs over a long period of time, often years and decades. Eventually when it is time to get new dentures the jaw bones have suffered excessive bone loss and it is very difficult to make well-fitting dentures.
• The upper jaw bone is usually in much better shape than the lower. This has everything to do with jaw size and chewing forces. The lower jaw is usually about half the size of the upper jaw which means that when the denture teeth meet during chewing the lower jaw receives double the forces than the upper jaw bone which leads to greater bone loss in the lower jaw.
• The size and width of the remaining jaw bone determines the fit and function of a denture, which means the more bone the better the denture will fit.
So, what can be done to ensure that dentures fit well?
• First of all it is important to understand that full and partial dentures require regular check-ups and maintenance to ensure that they functions as well as possible. Since bone loss is very gradual it is crucial that dentures are relined regularly, about every two years, to compensate for jaw bone shrinkage and to ensure that the chewing forces are evenly distributed over the entire jaw bone.
• Second, dentures need to be replaced on a regular basis to restore proper chewing function and to rebuild facial appearance to compensate for lower jaw shrinkage. Most dental insurance plans allow new dentures every five years. Why wait ten or even 20 years before getting a new set of false
teeth? If you wait this long your lower jaw has usually shrunk away so much that your mouth has sunk in and the lower jaw has slipped forward.
• Is there any hope to get great fitting dentures when I talk about all these limitations? Now this is the best news of all! Would you like to be able to eat an apple or corn on the cob? Dental implants are a wonderful option that allow denture wearers to eat whole foods once again that taste so much better and are much healthier. Does an upper denture make you gag? An upper denture on implants can be reduced to a horseshoe which is much easier to adjust to. Our clinic works with a team of dedicated dentists who will place dental implants and then we make the dentures that fit on the implants. Looking back over the past eight years at my denture clinic I have never had a single implant denture patient complain that they should not have had implants. Quite to the contrary many of them wish they had had implants placed many years earlier as they enjoy eating healthy food once again.
• If you have any questions or would like to discuss your denture needs please call Fischer Denture Clinic at 604-814-0244 and come in for a complimentary consultation to ensure that you get dentures that fit.www.fischerdentures.com

Dental Implants gave us a confi dent smile
These people have something to smile about. They used to wear dentures, which caused discomfort, an inability to eat many foods and a lack of con dence when it came to smiling and talking.
Now they enjoy the freedom of NobelSmile dental implants, which areas close to natural teeth as you can get. People who lose a tooth want to replace it with something permanent, says Dr. Lui, instead of something they have to remove. “Once you give someone new, permanent teeth, you can see their personality shine through again.”
“Whether you have a single tooth, several teeth or everyone of them missing...we can help.”

Like puzzles? Then you’ll love Sudoku. This mind-bending puzzle will have you hooked from the moment you square off.
How it works: Sudoku puzzles are formatted as a 9x9 grid, broken down into nine 3x3 boxes. To solve a Sudoku, the numbers 1 through 9 must fi ll each row, column and box. Each number can appear only once in each row, column and box. You can fi gure out the order in which the numbers will appear by using the numeric clues already provided in the boxes. The more numbers you name, the easier it gets to solve the puzzle. Look for the solution in next month’s puzzle section of Living 55 Plus.
