Refresh Your Bathroom

 

Spring is the perfect time to deep clean your bathroom and get a fresh start for the new season. If you’re like 42 percent of people, you might dread spring cleaning.  While it may not be enjoyable, 94 percent of Canadians feel a strong sense of accomplishment once it’s completed.

Bathrooms rank as the highest cleaning priority (including scrubbing grout & tiles), followed by decluttering, scrubbing large kitchen appliances, and washing windows.  -Ipsos Survey 2022

With the following simple and effective bathroom cleaning hacks, you’ll never struggle to get into spring cleaning mode again — and your bathroom will never look better!

Health and Safety First

This spring cleaning season, be sure to look after your bathroom and yourself. As you start cleaning take the following precautions into consideration:

  1. Don’t mix cleaning products. Certain chemicals can react to create toxic fumes or burn your skin.
  2. Keep your bathroom well ventilatedno matter what cleaning products you’re using.
  3. Protect yourself against chemicalsby wearing rubber gloves and eyewear.
  4. Wear old clothes to clean.Chemicals such as bleach can discolor fabrics.
  5. Don’t use abrasive cleaners and tools.These can damage the items in your bathroom.
  6. Fully remove cleaning products after use as they can leave a residue if they are not wiped or rinsed off.

How to Clean Your Bathroom Step by Step

Vent

The phrase out of sight, out of mind often applies to the bathroom vent. These vents are usually found high up on the wall, which means you might not have noticed how much dust, mold, and mildew they have accumulated. Give your vent a thorough cleaning inside and out. Just remember to shut off the circuit breaker before you get started, and get help if you use a ladder!

Bathroom cleaning hacks:

  • Soak the vent cover in warm water and dish soap
  • Wipe the blades with a damp cloth
  • Remove the dust from inside the vent with a toothbrush
  • Use a vacuum nozzle attachment to suck up the dust
  • Replace the cover only when it is completely dry

Cabinets and Countertops

Bathroom cabinets and countertops can easily become cluttered with medications, products, and other daily essentials. This in turn makes it harder to clean your bathroom. This spring, seize the opportunity to clear out these areas for a cleaner bathroom and greater peace of mind.

Here’s how to organize your bathroom counter and cabinet:

  1. Remove everything and clean the areas with a damp cloth
  2. Discard any products that are empty or past their use-by dates
  3. Place new items at the back of your cabinet so you finish open products first
  4. Only keep the bare essentials on the countertop

 

Sink

The sink drain has more bacteria than any other part of your bathroom, so a deep clean is just what the doctor ordered. You only need a few minutes to transform this part of your bathroom into a sparkly, germ-free space.

Bathroom cleaning hacks:

  • Pour white vinegar down the sink and flush with hot water
  • Clean faucets with disposable disinfecting wipes to avoid spreading germs
  • Use dental floss to remove the grime from where the fixtures join the sink

Toilet

When we think of cleaning the bathroom, the most obvious task is to clean the toilet. With these tips, you can clean your toilet without too much bending.

Bathroom cleaning hacks:

  • Clean the seat and handle with disposable disinfecting wipes
  • Pour one cup of baking soda into the toilet bowl and brush
  • Let the baking soda sit for about 30 minutes before flushing

Shower

Cleaning your shower can be a big job. It doesn’t just include the shower head, but also the tiles and grout on the walls and floor of the showering area. Fortunately there are a few tips and tricks to get great results without too much manual labor.

Bathroom cleaning hacks:

  • Spray tiles with a cleaning spray and then turn on the shower until it steams
  • After 20 minutes, wipe the tiles with a cloth
  • Scrub stained grout with a toothbrush dipped in bleach, then rinse well
  • Place your shower head in a bowl of white vinegar for a few hours
  • Remove the shower head and rinse well

 

Bath

A soak in the bath is all the more satisfying after you have spring cleaned your bathtub. The best part is, these tips include only natural cleaning products.

Bathroom cleaning hacks:

  • Spray the tub with a solution of 50% white vinegar, 50% warm water
  • Apply a baking soda and white vinegar paste to stains
  • Apply a borax and lemon juice mixture to rust stains
  • Rinse the tub well after 30 minutes

 

Does your bath need more than a deep spring cleaning? There are a few options you can consider.

Reglazing: This is a great way to spruce up a relatively new bathtub with some scratches. A specialist will sand down the surface of your bathtub and fill in any cracks. They will then apply primer and paint before buffering. This process can only be done once, however, and can’t fix any significant issues.

Adding Bath Liners: Liners can improve the look of bathtubs that have large cracks and missing tiles. The style and shape of liners are limited, so you wouldn’t be able to line an old, free-standing bathtub or customize to your heart’s content.  But be careful, because between the original bathtub and the liner is a known mold/mildew growth site.

Replacing Your Bathtub: Although it’s the most expensive option, replacing your bathtub is the best way to get exactly what you want for your home and lifestyle. That’s the ultimate fresh start!

Is A Hot Spa Bath Healthier?

Taking a bath is good for you and your heart.  In fact, a new study shows that taking at least five hot baths a week with a temperature of 90ºF-104ºF lasting on average 12.4 minutes can improve cardiovascular health for seniors.

Hot water immersion & hydrotherapy can significantly strengthen the cardiovascular system and help with heart health by improving circulation, lowering blood pressure, reducing stress, and could be a useful lifestyle intervention to preserve cardiovascular function.

 

Hot baths use a method called passive heat and may provide many health benefits including better blood sugar management, relief from musculoskeletal pain, and improve mood and mental health.

However, a 2021 study found that also complementing hot water immersion with hydrotherapy, similar to being in a hot tub or spa therapy, was more effective than physiotherapy at improving pain, stiffness, and muscle strength after total knee arthroplasty.

 

SCIENCE-BACKED BENEFITS

Improved circulation: Hot water immersion increases blood circulation.

Lower blood pressure: The heat from a hot bath dilates blood vessels, which can lower blood pressure.

Stress reduction: spa therapy can help reduce stress levels.

Improved sleep: spa therapy can help you relax physically and mentally, which can improve your sleep quality.

Cardiovascular workout: The increased heart rate from a hot hydrotherapy bath can provide a low-impact cardiovascular workout.

“Stretching and moving in the water also provides a low-impact workout for discomfort in muscles, joints and bones.”

 

While hot tub therapy is extremely beneficial for your health and wellness, you might find gaining access to an outdoor hot tub difficult especially in the winter months, along with chemical treatment and the maintenance required onerous.

 

SOLUTION:  If you are an older adult aging in place, you are now planning for a fall-free future, and you are looking for products that are easy to use with little to no maintenance required.

 

ComfortSeries™ by American Standard provides a personal hot tub therapy experience, but it’s both a bathtub and a shower.  ComfortSeries™ addresses your concern for accessibility and ease of use.  It provides everything you need in a bathroom to provide the ultimate therapy benefits that you are looking for; but read on to see how these additional benefits support your health and wellness.

 

 

ADDITIONAL BENEFITS

Muscle relaxation:  the hot water and massaging action of the tub jets can effectively relax and soothe tight and tense muscles, helping to ease aches and pains.  A tub soak before exercising may also reduce the risk of injury.

“Stress causes the muscles of the body to contract.  A hot bath can relieve those symptoms and keep the muscles loose.” -Dr. Mark Khorsandi, migraine surgeon

 

Pain Reliefsoaking in a ComfortSeries™ tub may relieve some types of pain by relaxing tense muscles, joints and tendons.  If you have arthritis, the heat and massaging action of a ComfortSeries™ tub may help ease the stiffness and inflammation that cause pain.

Water supports your body and takes weight off joints, which helps improve flexibility and range of motion.

 

Improved Insulin Sensitivity: A study from 2019 and another from 2022 suggests that regular thermal therapy using hot baths or saunas may improve glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity and better blood sugar management in a population with marked insulin resistance.  This could mean that using a ComfortSeries™ tub may also be beneficial for managing diabetes.

“Your skin releases endorphins in response to the soothing warm water the same way that endorphins are released when you feel the sun on your skin.  Submerging ourselves in hot water can be both therapeutic and reinvigorating because blood flow increases to the skin.”-Dr. Bobby Buka

 

Improvement in Mood & Mental Health:  A 2021 study comparing results of people who took submersion baths versus those who took showers found that routine immersion bathing appeared more beneficial to mental and physical health than routine shower bathing without immersion.  With added Chromatherapy as a supportive therapy technique, you can restore health imbalances through coloured LED light.  Studies have found that people with rheumatoid arthritis require fewer pain medications when they use Aromatherapy.

 

 

Tips to Improve Your ComfortSeries™ Hydrotherapy Session:

 

Bath Water Temp:  make sure that your bath water is not hotter than 104°F (40°C);

Drink Water:  drink plenty of water to keep you hydrated; before, during & after your bath;

Timing:  a ComfortSeries™ bathing session will auto end after 20 minutes.  You can restart your jets, however if you feel dizzy, lightheaded or have nausea, stop and cool off before resuming;

Maintenance:  a ComfortSeries™ bathtub has a Self-Cleaning Ozone Sanitation System which substitutes the need for harsh hot tub chemicals.  Being healthier and more beneficial for you, you will need to keep your bathtub wiped clean, and deep-cleaned once per month (see your Owner’s Guide) to ensure optimal Health Benefits.

 

**People with certain heart conditions such as heart disease, angina, or arrhythmia, should always consult a doctor before using hot tub hydrotherapy.

Sore Muscles

Hot baths help with a long list of medical complaints. No matter whether you’re living with headaches or dry skin, a soak in the tub can be a simple and effective at-home therapy. You can also try a hot bath for muscle recovery.

Although studies debate whether you’re better off taking a hot or cold bath for sore muscles, most people find the idea of hopping into a tub filled with cold water unpleasant. That’s why we focus on hot baths! Read on to find out why a hot bath for sore muscles could be the best way to relieve your pain and improve your mood.

What Causes Sore Muscles?

Everyone experiences sore muscles at some point in their lives. If you lead an active life, sore muscles may be a result of injuries. When you damage a nerve, disk, or vertebra, the surrounding muscles will often contract around the affected part of your body to prevent any further damage. While this is a critical biological response, the resulting muscle spasms can cause you more stress and discomfort.

Medical conditions may also be at the root of your muscle pain. Poor circulation, Parkinson’s disease, and autoimmune diseases such as fibromyalgia and rheumatoid arthritis can cause muscle soreness. If you’re using ACE inhibitors to lower your blood pressure or statins to lower your cholesterol, you may also suffer from muscle aches.

Whatever the cause of your soreness, the pain can put your body in a state of increased stress, which can cause you to feel even more stiff and achy.

Why You Should Try a Hot Bath for Muscle Recovery

Here are four reasons to try a hot bath for sore muscles.

  1. Relieve Muscle Stress Throughout the Body

Doctors and physical therapists often recommend heat therapy for muscle pain. You may have used a heat pack to reduce muscle soreness in a targeted area. Heat packs warm the skin and help you relax, but they can’t penetrate your muscles very effectively. Taking a hot bath for muscle recovery combines complete heat therapy with hydrotherapy, which can increase relaxation thanks to the buoyancy of the water.

A hot bath allows for a full-body release as all your muscles are thoroughly warmed and relaxed. The warm water loosens spasms and releases tension from surrounding muscles that may have been compensating for your injury. If your tub features water jets, you can even massage multiple areas of your body to soothe any stubborn aches.

  1. Improve Blood Circulation for More Supple Muscles

A warm bath encourages the circulation of blood around your body. The increased blood flow provides your muscles with more oxygen and nutrients. This improves the elasticity of the connective tissues, releases muscles tightness, and relieves pain. Not surprisingly, bathing is an excellent way to combat muscle soreness from poor circulation.

Provided your aches are not a result of an injury, you can also try some light stretches in a hot bath for muscle recovery. Because your muscles are more supple and relaxed, you can safely train your flexibility and soothe your muscles. What’s more, the buoyancy of the bath can make some movements easier.

  1. Easily Customize Your Bath for Different Needs

Unlike many pain-relief treatments, a bath is a versatile therapy session. As well as taking a hot bath for sore muscles, you can design your bath time around your specific needs and mood.

For example, if your muscle soreness is caused by injury or rheumatoid arthritis, you can add sea salt, lavender oil, or chamomile oil to the water.  These natural products can reduce inflammation to ease your muscle pain. On the other hand, if your muscle soreness comes from stress and tension, you can try adding rose oil to your hot bath for muscle recovery. Having a wide range of bathing options makes your experience more varied and enjoyable.

  1. Experience Muscle Recovery in Just 15 Minutes

A hot bath can be a long and luxurious activity, but that doesn’t mean you can’t get results from a shorter soak each day. In fact, a hot bath for muscle recovery needn’t last more than 15 to 20 minutes. After that, the bath water will start to cool and become less effective for muscle relaxation.

You may be tempted to run a hotter bath so you can enjoy the warm water for longer, but do not exceed 105 degrees. A bath that is too hot can prevent relaxation and dehydrate you very quickly, which can make muscle soreness worse. Make sure you feel comfortable in the water and keep a glass of water by the tub.

Soothe Your Muscles With a Safe Bathing Experience

Regularly taking hot baths for sore muscles can help soothe your aches and pains. With 44 strategically located air and water jets, our walk-in tubs ensure a safe, relaxing, and accessible hydrotherapy experience you can enjoy every day.

Foods for Arthritis Pain

 

Updated October 12, 2021

Did you know that your diet plays a major role in your arthritis pain management? While physical therapy can do wonders, eating right can also help. Let’s look at five anti-inflammatory foods that can help with arthritis pain.

  1. Green Tea

Green tea has many health benefits, one of which is its anti-inflammatory properties. Green tea contains epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG), a natural antioxidant that works to stop the production of certain inflammatory chemicals in our bodies. Research also suggests that EGCG may prevent or slow down the break down of our body’s cartilage, which can help preserve joints longer. So grab a nice, warm cup of tea, pour yourself a bath, and enjoy this healthy and refreshing drink.

  1. Fatty Fish

Fatty fish, such as salmon, herring, mackerel, sardines, anchovies, rainbow trout, and oysters, contain omega-3 fish oils, a natural compound that can help decrease inflammation by suppressing the enzymes that erode cartilage. Not only do omega-3 oils reduce the symptoms of arthritis, but they also aid in more strength, less fatigue, reduced joint swelling and stiffness, and less overall pain.

Bonus tip: when cooking your fatty fish, use seasonings like garlic, turmeric, and ginger for even more benefits. Garlic is a member of the allium family, which means it contains a compound that also limits cartilage-damaging enzymes. Turmeric is actually one of the most researched inflammation fighters, as it contains curcumin which is beneficial in managing chronic inflammation. Lastly, ginger blocks the production of inflammatory substances in the body.

 

  1. Walnuts

Like fatty fish, walnuts are full of healthy nutrients and loaded with anti-inflammatory compounds. Omega-3 has been shown to decrease symptoms of arthritis and reduce inflammation. In addition to omega-3, walnuts also contain healthy fats and oleocanthal, which also helps decrease inflammation. In fact, these healthy fats block the same inflammatory pathways as ibuprofen and aspirin!

  1. Greens

It’s no surprise that leafy greens are great for our health, but favorites like broccoli, spinach, brussel sprouts, and cabbage are especially beneficial for individuals with arthritis. These vegetables have carotenoids, which have long been touted for their protective properties. Usually, carotenoids are responsible for the bright yellow, red, and orange we find in nutritious picks like bell peppers and carrots, but these greens have carotenoids as well. Carotenoids act as antioxidants in our bodies, are major cancer-fighters, and have anti-inflammatory and immune system benefits. So fill your plate up with a colorful diet of fruits and vegetables to help alleviate some of your arthritis pain.

 

  1. Berries

Berries such as blackberries, elderberries, raspberries, and strawberries contain anthocyanins, powerful antioxidants that help reduce inflammation and help our bodies generate connective tissue. In fact, anthocyanins are even more powerful than Vitamin C in defusing free radicals in our bodies, which can irritate tissue and cartilage.

These five foods will help relieve joint pain, but eating a healthy diet all the time will also help. Whole grains, lean proteins, and lots of fruits and veggies are naturally anti-inflammatory and will help you maintain a healthy weight. Every pound of weight you lose, you reduce the load on your joints by four pounds. Maintaining a healthy weight and diet will help you control your joint and arthritis pain. If you want to learn more about preventing arthritis and healthy tips and tricks, visit the Arthritis Society or the Arthritis Foundation.

ComfortSeries™ Bathtubs by American Standard can also help soothe Arthritis Pain.

In fact, our walk-in tubs have been tested and commended by the Arthritis Foundation for Ease of Use.  Our walk-in tubs were awarded this commendation because they are products that are proven* to make life easier for people with Arthritis and limited mobility.

*This award recognizes products that make life easier for people with arthritis and other physical limitations.  Products undergo a multi-step testing process conducted by an independent lab of experts in the field of universal product design and evaluation.

7 Reasons Why Baths are Better for Your Health Than Showers

August 17, 2021

 

Do you ever wonder why people enjoying a good bubble bath take so long in the bathtub?  Not only is it soothing and calming, but it’s actually good for you.

Of course, baths take longer than showers so it might not be as convenient, but the benefits of a bath far outweigh that of a shower.

Ileana Poules-Brunet agrees, and has written several lifestyle articles about it.  However, American Standard has been in the bathroom business for almost 150 years, so we know a thing or two about bathrooms, healthy living, bathing science and health benefits.

 

Here’s why a Bath is better for your Health:

  1. Youthfulness and Age Delay

Dermatologists will tell you that bathing can reduce skin complications like acne, and reduce the aging process.

For those that are frequently stressed by everyday life, circumstances, health (both physical and emotional), the stress hormone Cortisol will be elevated.  Elevated Cortisol levels can increase blood pressure, cause weight gain, fatigue, irritability and headaches, but can also lead to anxiety or depression.  According to Premier Health, Cortisol narrows the arteries, while another hormone Epinephrine, increases your heart rate, forcing your blood to pump harder and faster.  This also increases blood sugar levels that your pancreas may struggle with, whether or not it can keep up with the demand for insulin.

Long-term elevated Cortisol can also suppress your immune system, thereby making you more susceptible to colds and illness, and the inability to reduce inflammation.

We know that Inflammation is at the root cause of almost all illnesses.

 

  1. Sore Muscle Relief

When muscles are sore, we usually apply hot compresses or heating pads.  A warm bath encourages the circulation of blood around your body.  The increased blood flow provides your muscles with more oxygen and nutrients.  This improves the elasticity of the connective tissues, releases muscle tightness, and relieves pain.  Healthline states that heat therapy works by improving circulation and blood flow to a particular area due to increased temperature, and can actually heal damaged tissue.

 

When you are bathing, you are submerged in warm to hot water, which not only relieves the muscles in your body, but the buoyancy in water relieves pressure from sore joints as well.

Muscle Recovery can occur in just 15 minutes

  1. Lower Blood Sugar Levels and Improved Blood Pressure

Always check with your doctor before starting a new therapy, but they usually agree that a warm bath may be the best option for you.

 

While exercise for seniors is important for overall wellness, as is a healthy eating plan; taking a warm bath might be just as good if you are looking to burn a few extra calories.  Soaking in an hour-long hot bath can burn as many calories (around 140) as a 30 minute walk according to a 2017 study led by Dr. Faulkner at Loughborough University in London.  Warm water raises your temperature and makes your heart beat faster.  This is good for cardiovascular health, because your body must work harder to maintain the appropriate internal temperature, which accelerates the body’s ability to burn fat.  Hot baths also improve the body’s anti-inflammatory response, just like exercising.

  1. Heart Healthy

A new study from Japan reports that hot baths can reduce your risk of heart disease and stroke.  Bathing is a key part of Japanese culture, and they found that the risk for hypertension/cardiovascular disease and stroke is significantly decreased.   30,000 Japanese adults were tracked for 20 years during this study, which showed 26-28% lower risk, but by using hot baths, this number jumped to a 35% lower risk of cardiovascular disease.

 

  1. Insomnia Help

According to TheSleepDoctor and Princess Cruise Line’s spokesperson & Luxury Bed Developer Dr. Michael Breus, warm baths have been a well known remedy for years for people with insomnia, because warm water relaxes the body and helps core body temperatures to drop afterwards.  It also signals the pineal gland in your brain to produce melatonin (your sleep hormone).  The best time for a bath is 1-2 hours prior to going to bed.  According to Dr. Shahab Haghayegh, it’s called the Power-Down Hour.  Warm to hot baths help muscles to relax, reducing arthritic pain, and increases circulation to reduce swelling and inflammation.  Reducing pain also helps you to get a good night’s sleep.

  1. Stress-Relief

As with all stress-relieving techniques, some form of meditation is required along with wellness therapies.  Some examples are:

  • creating a calming atmosphere
  • imagining the temporary feeling of escape from stressors
  • Chromatherapy
  • Aromatherapy
  • Focussing on your muscles relaxing and the sensations that you are feeling

 

Meditating (or simple mindfulness) while the bathtub is filling, and during your bathing and hydrotherapy session will help to heal, and assist you on your wellness journey.

 

 

  1. Some Baths Are Just as Clean (if not cleaner) Than Showers

If you are washing off or soaking from a normal day, a bath will clean you the same as a shower.  If you have dirt or bacteria on you, then a shower may be a quick way to eliminate the dirt, however, bathtubs such as American Standard’s ComfortSeries™️ have an Ozone Sanitation System built in.  This means bacteria is killed 3000+ times faster than chlorine, and eliminates any disease-causing organisms.  It is completely safe, and actually improves the water quality in your bathtub; it eliminates dirt/grime ring that bathing may leave by oxidizing oils, salts & soaps by removing those particles from the water.  It’s so much cleaner than a shower!

 

 

Taking a bath has many health benefits, from decreased stress to better heart health and blood circulation.  If you are interested in promoting relaxation, easing fatigue and treating chronic pain, a bath might be the choice for you.  With a ComfortSeries™️ walk-in tub, everyone can take advantage of this relaxing and beneficial therapy because it’s also accessible for safety.

 

The best way for you to take action & start to heal and reduce pain, is to reconsider what a bath can really do for you.  And when you are ready to combine that with a universal safe option for bathing, our professionals will help:  our personalized service team helps you determine the best product for your needs, and our professional installations take only just one day.

What is Hydrotherapy and How Does It Work?

Written by on July 18, 2017

Have you ever taken a long soak in a hot bath at the end of the day? If so, you may already understand how water can be used to treat physical symptoms and ailments. This is the basis of hydrotherapy. It helps ease sore muscles and alleviate pain, while also providing restorative and relaxation benefits.

Hydrotherapy is the use of water in treatment for conditions such as arthritis or partial paralysis. With hydrotherapy, water can be incorporated in one of three ways: steam, like what’s used in a sauna; ice packs; or hot tubs or whirlpools. But how does it work, exactly? First, it’s important to understand the effects of water temperature. Cool water constricts blood vessels to help with inflammation, while hot water dilates blood vessels, which helps to reduce stiffness. In many hydrotherapy sessions, the user will alternate between a cool and hot water tub to help improve circulation and boost hormonal function.

Hydrotherapy Isn’t Just for Athletes

Many athletes turn to hydrotherapy to help loosen up tight muscles or ease pain after a grueling workout, game, or race. But it’s not only the pros that benefit from this type of care.

Aging doesn’t have to mean inactivity, and it’s important for seniors to continue with regular exercise. As the days grow longer, you may spend more time outdoors and become increasingly active. Neighborhood walks, gardening, and tai chi are all good outdoor activities for low-impact exercise to help stay healthy and fit. However, even a few hours of extra activity can cause sore muscles or unexpected aches. This is when to take advantage of the therapeutic benefits that come from a walk-in tub.

Hydrotherapy is also commonly incorporated into physical therapy treatment plans. According to Nurse.com, caregivers believe the warm temperature of water mixed with the buoyancy helps their patients make better progress in their physical therapy. Hydrotherapy is often used on its own, but sometimes will be used to complement other types of therapies, depending on a person’s treatment plan. Some of the common ailments that hydrotherapy can be used for include:

  • Arthritis;
  • Fibromyalgia;
  • Headaches;
  • Joint pain;
  • Poor circulation;
  • Sciatica; and more.

Hydrotherapy at Home

If you own a walk-in tub, you have direct access to the powers of hydrotherapy right in your own home, whenever you may need rehabilitation or self-care. Moreover, with our walk-in tubs you can customize your bathing experience however you’d like.

Our Revitajet® Whole Body Hydrotherapy System is made up of 44 strategically placed water and air jets to help you concentrate on the areas that need it most. You can direct the flow on your lower back, legs, or anywhere that’s feeling extra sore or tense. Or, you can choose to have all of them running at once for a full, whirlpool-type experience.

The healing powers of water are heightened when implemented through hydrotherapy, and this is just one of the benefits and features of our walk-in tubs. It’s an investment that will continue to benefit your health, safety, and well-being!
