There are 21.8 million veterans living in America today.  One in four or nearly 5.5 million of them are living with diabetes. Diabetes can often lead to additional health concerns like gum disease, poor vision and poor circulation.  Poor circulation is one of the most common concerns and may cause extremely dry, damaged skin on extremities, especially lower legs and feet.  Severely dry skin can result in wounds and sores that do not heal and become aggravated and inflamed. Left untreated, wounds and sores may worsen and, in some cases can lead to the amputation of toes and feet.

Prevention is the best ways to avoid excessively dry skin due to diabetes.  Neoteric Diabetic Advanced Healing Cream soothes rough dry skin, improves circulation and increases blood flow when applied to the skin.

On Your FeetClinically proven and patented, an oxygenated oil is the key ingredient.  Oxygen helps increase blood flow to affected areas.  Increased blood flow helps to promote healing and the rich formula soothes rough, dry damaged skin.

Now available in Veteran Canteens nationwide, Neoteric Diabetic Advanced Healing Cream costs less than $10 and can be the difference between pain and relief for those living with extremely dry skin due to diabetes.  As we enter fall and cold dry winter days lie ahead, now is a great time to start a preventive care program.  FB_Noeterictube

It’s a new year, and that means resolution time. Weight loss seems to be the #1 goal for many of us. Instead of focusing on dropping the lbs, why not resolve to make a healthier lifestyle change, gradually?

Have you noticed how most resolutions are broken before January even ends? Becoming healthier does not happen over night, it takes time and motivation. That is why it is important to set realistic goals that can be kept throughout the entire year.

Plan ahead! Scheduling annual appointments, such as visiting the dentist, will help you 0c3e4a36-2036-418b-975c-5faa4ef9bc02stick to your goals to living a healthy lifestyle all year. Doctor’s visits should also become a part of your routine to maintain a good sense of well-being. Staying on top of these appointments throughout the year is a small step to reaching your goals.

 

B7KTulSCQAATcriA smarter and healthier lifestyle also includes incorporating a nutritious diet. Clean eating has numerous benefits, including blood sugar control, which can improve your wellness from the inside out. Trying a few new veggie inspired recipes is a great way you can eat better in 2015.

 

Figure out what motivates you to get more active. Maybe having a support group will keep you motivated to stick to your plan. Get friends and family to go to a new exercise class or plan a themed dinner party to help you keep up healthy habits.

Once these goals become a part of your daily routine, the sooner they will become lifelong habits. Don’t fall into a diet trap, take steps to a healthier lifestyle by setting realistic goals that happen gradually over the course of the new year!
