Dental Savings Plans Give The 76% Of Seniors Without Dental Insurance A Way To Manage The Costs Of Oral Care

DentalPlans.com

By Rachael Green, Benzinga The CDC estimates that 24% of the nation’s population – or 98 million adults – will be 65 or older by 2060. One in five of those older adults will lose all of their teeth. Among the rest, about 68% will have gum disease and 20% will have untreated tooth decay. One of the main barriers is the high cost of dental care, especially for those without insurance. When someone reaches retirement, that often means transitioning out of their employer-sponsored health plan and onto Medicare – which doesn’t cover regular dental care. As a result, just 24% of seniors have dental insurance, compared to 54% of working adults. If they enroll in a Medicare Advantage Plan or meet their states’ eligibility requirements for Medicaid, they may be able to add some dental coverage. But even then the average annual limit is $1,300 and more than half of those who do have dental benefits have an annual maximum of $1,000 or less. Once that limit is reached, beneficiaries have to pay for the rest of their dental care out of pocket. Just one restorative treatment could max out your coverage, leaving you without coverage when you need to see the dentist next, until your plan resets. With so many retirees living on a fixed income, those out-of-pocket costs can pose a high enough burden that many people avoid or delay the care they need. Dental Savings Plans Help Lower The Barriers To Better Oral Health Dental savings plans are an increasingly popular alternative or supplement to dental insurance. These plans work like a membership program where plan members pay a low annual fee to gain access to members-only discounts at any of the 140,000 participating dentists nationwide. Plan members report an average saving of 50%* on their dental care, and plans activate within one to three business days of signing up. Once activated, plan members can enjoy the discounted rates on virtually any procedure with no annual limit or restrictions based on current health conditions. For those with dental insurance through Medicare Advantage or other, a dental savings plan can help lower the out-of-pocket costs once they reach their annual limit by providing discounts on future procedures after you hit your maximum. For those with no insurance at all, a dental savings plan can make preventive, restorative and even emergency dental care affordable, even on a tight budget. To learn more about dental savings plans and see how much you can save, visit DentalPlans.com. Their online tools and resources make it quick and simple to compare plans and get a personalized plan recommendation in minutes. *Discount Health Program consumer & provider surveys indicate average savings of 50%. Sample savings are based on zip code 43614, actual savings may vary by provider, location, and plan.

BLUETTI Presents a Comprehensive Comparison: Solar Generators vs. Fuel Generators in the Renewable Energy Landscape

500NewsWire

Toronto, ON, August 24, 2023 ( 500NewsWire ) -- In times of crisis like power outages and for dependable energy supply during outdoor escapades, generators play a pivotal role. When navigating the realm of generators for these scenarios, two prominent contenders emerge: solar generators and fuel generators. This article undertakes a comprehensive comparison of these two alternatives to empower you in making a well-informed decision. Understanding Generator Mechanisms: Solar generators harness the sun's energy to generate electricity, encompassing components like an inverter, MPPT controller (Maximum Power Point Tracking), battery, and photovoltaic panels (PV) that convert sunlight into usable energy. This energy is stored in the battery for subsequent use. Fuel generators, also known as conventional generators, convert gasoline's chemical energy first into mechanical energy and then into electrical energy. Comprising an engine, alternator, oil tank, and various moving parts, they consume fuels to deliver instant power. Contrasting Solar and Fuel Generators: Safety: Solar generators are generally deemed safer due to their lack of flammable fuels, thereby mitigating risks linked to fuel leaks and harmful emissions. However, improper charging can still result in explosions. On the other hand, fuel generators run on combustible fuels, introducing certain safety hazards. Additionally, they emit exhaust fumes and are unsuitable for indoor use. Functionality: Solar generators provide various AC and DC power options, catering to modern devices. Nonetheless, they might have limitations in running high-power equipment or during extended periods of low sunlight. Fuel generators offer robust power output, suitable for operating larger appliances, albeit with limited outlets. They consistently provide power regardless of weather conditions or time of day. User Experience: Solar generators operate quietly and are user-friendly, requiring minimal maintenance. Furthermore, they offer enhanced portability across different sizes. Fuel generators can be noisy and boast a complex system demanding regular refueling and maintenance. Although they come with steel frames or wheels for durability and mobility, their movement remains cumbersome and risky. Cost: Solar generators entail higher initial costs owing to advanced solar and battery systems. Yet, once installed, they capitalize on free solar energy and entail fewer long-term operational expenses. Fuel generators possess lower upfront costs but necessitate ongoing expenditures for fuel, which can accumulate over time. Sustainability: Solar generators align with environmental sustainability by harnessing renewable solar energy. They do not emit greenhouse gases or contribute to air pollution. Fuel generators rely on non-renewable fossil fuels, leading to pollution and climate change. Determining Your Generator Requirement: Choosing the right generator is straightforward once you assess your power needs and specific application scenarios. Here are two common scenarios to consider: Scenario One: Residential Backup Power for Power Outages For areas with infrequent disasters but potential major weather events yearly, opting for a gas generator is wise. It provides cost-effective instant power for sporadic use during emergencies. Conversely, for regular use, exploring solar generators like BLUETTI's AC300 and AC500 models is recommended. With outputs ranging from 3,000W to 5,000W, they offer an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) function that activates within 20 milliseconds of a blackout, ensuring seamless transition. Even during prolonged winter outages, they perform well, delivering power for multiple days. Their capacity can be expanded through additional battery packs, allowing customization from 3,072Wh to 18,432Wh. Scenario Two: Portable Power for Outdoor Activities Picture embarking on a weekend camping trip. As you set up camp, the need arises to charge your phone, power a portable speaker for music, and keep a mini-fridge operational. Opting for solar generators is the ideal choice. They provide diverse outlets for device connectivity and harness solar panels to gather free solar power. Market offerings such as the BLUETTI AC200P, with its 2,000W power and 2,000Wh capacity, serve as outstanding portable power hubs enhancing outdoor experiences. In Conclusion: Selecting between solar and fuel generators necessitates a thoughtful consideration of your unique needs and the pros and cons of each option. Solar generators emerge as a prominent power source for both home backup and outdoor endeavors. They eliminate risks tied to flammable fuels, offer versatile power options, operate silently, and demand minimal upkeep. Despite their higher upfront costs, they tap into renewable energy, incurring lower long-term operational expenses. Conversely, fuel generators provide robust power for larger appliances but come with safety risks, regular maintenance needs, and contribute to pollution and higher ongoing costs. About BLUETTI: BLUETTI stands as a beacon of innovation in the realm of sustainable power solutions. Renowned worldwide, the company is dedicated to providing cutting-edge portable power options that align with modern environmental and energy requirements. With an array of solar generators, power stations, and accessories, BLUETTI empowers individuals and businesses with reliable and green energy alternatives for various needs.

GSP Resource Corp. Plans to Drill Test High Priority Targets at Alwin Mine Copper-Silver-Gold Project

GSP Resource Corp.

Vancouver, British Columbia – TheNewswire - August 24, 2023: GSP Resource Corp. ( TSXV:GSPR ) (the “ Company ” or “ GSP ”) announces the results of an updated 3D vein modeling of copper mineralization at the Alwin Mine Project (the “Alwin Property”), located in the Highland Valley Copper Camp of British Columbia.   The initial 3D copper mineralization model integrated over 4,000 individual copper assays from more than 450 historic diamond drill holes for which results are available combined with more recent 2008, 2020 – 2021 drilling ( see the Company’s news release dated March 14, 2023 ). Based on these data, copper grade shells were generated via implicit modelling guided by structural trend surfaces based on the geometry of historically mined high-grade copper zones ( see the Company’s news release dated April 17, 2023 ).   The updated interpretation incorporates recent diamond drilling, further refines the 3D geometry of the known historic zones and has resulted in the identification of additional mineralized zones not previously modelled (Figure 1).   Highlights of updated 3D copper mineralization vein model:   Updated 3D model constrained by downhole composited assays of copper mineralization vein intervals along structural trends based on the known 5 historic sub-vertical vein zones;   Potentially underground mineable high-grade copper focused 3D model utilizes minimum 1.5 m downhole assay composites and greater than 0.5% copper (Cu) cut-off to isolate high-grade copper zones demonstrating increased continuity;   Three (3) new copper mineralization vein zones identified that warrant follow up drill testing located to the south, northwest and at depth of known historic mineralization zones.     Historical diamond drill intercepts from three new copper zones include:   South zone   Intersected in holes 68-45, 81-26   68-45 (drilled from surface): 4.4% Cu over 2.0 m 1 from 45.1 m   81-26 (drilled from underground): 2.1% Cu over 4.3 m from 37.8 m   Possible eastern extension of South zone intersected by recent 2021 drilling 2   AM-21-02 (surface): 3.2% Cu over 1.8 m from 52.5 m   Northwest zone   Intersected in holes 67-19, 75-17   67-19 (surface): 2.8% Cu over 2.0 m from 67.1 m   75-17 (underground): 1.3% Cu over 1.6 m from 31.6 m   Deep Zone   Two zones intersected historically in hole SS-73-8 (surface)   4.3% Cu over 0.9 m from 325.8 m   1.4% Cu over 2.1 m from 351.4 m     The updated 3D copper mineralization vein model will guide the prioritization of targets in the upcoming diamond drill program planned for Fall 2023. Historic drilling was primarily assayed for copper and had limited assay results for gold, and silver. Recent 2020 – 2021 drilling including 3.4% Cu, 40 grams-per-tonne (g/t) silver (Ag) over 6.4 m within dill hole AM-21-01A, and 10.4 g/t gold (Au), 1.2% Cu over 1.6 m within AM-21-08B highlights the polymetallic potential for zones to include gold and silver mineralization ( see the Company’s news release dated April 17, 2023 ). The Company plans a diamond drilling program of approximately 1,200m to 1,500m to test 4 to 6 targets (200 to 300 m per drill hole), subject to available funds. Click Image To View Full Size   Figure 1: Alwin Mine 3D Compilation Showing >1.5% Copper Mineralization Vein Model and Potential 2023 Drill Targets (oblique view looking southwest)   Link to Figure 1   GSP’s President & CEO, Simon Dyakowski, commented: “The updated 3D copper mineralization vein model for the high-grade past producing Alwin Copper-Gold Mine once again points to the potential for expansion and discovery of additional copper and polymetallic zones. The broad extent of polymetallic mineralization at Alwin represents a significant exploration upside and requires confirmation drilling of known zones and testing of potential new zones identified to the northwest, south and at depth of the historic mine area. We look forward to prioritizing drill targets for our proposed upcoming diamond drill program in Fall 2023.”   About the Alwin Mine Project: The Alwin Mine Copper-Silver-Gold property is approximately 575.72 hectares and is located on the semi-arid, interior plateau in south-central British Columbia. The historic underground mine was developed over 500 m long by 200 m wide by 300 m deep. Production took place between 1916 to 1981 from five major subvertical high-grade copper mineralization zones totaling 233,100 tonnes that milled 3,786 tonnes of copper, 2,729 kilograms of silver and 46.2 kilograms of gold. The average diluted head grade was 1.5% copper.   The Alwin Property is adjacent with the western boundary of Teck Corporation’s Highland Valley Mine, the largest open-pit porphyry copper-molybdenum mine in western Canada.  Alteration and mineralization of the Highland Valley hydrothermal system extends westward from the Highland Valley mine onto the Alwin property (see GSP’s news release dated January 30, 2020).   Qualified Person:   The scientific and technical information contained in this news release has been reviewed and approved by Kristopher J.

55 Fitness Creates a Gym Experience Tailored for Older Adults Seeking to Improve their Health

Prodigy Press Wire

Numerous scientific studies have shown that regular exercise and physical activity are linked with better health outcomes, especially for older adults, However, many adults age 55 and above are not comfortable with going to mainstream gyms, which are typically targeting a younger clientele, usually in their 20s and 30s. While some senior centers have gyms, the equipment often leaves a lot to be desired. 55 Fitness, a gym co-founded by Brendan Skeen, caters to this underserved segment of the market. Skeen, who comes from the senior home care industry, says there is tremendous demand for a fitness facility designed to meet the specific needs of the rapidly growing number of seniors, with an average of 10,000 Americans turning 55 each day. According to Skeen, he got the idea for 55 Fitness after his mother, Donna, was diagnosed with cancer, and the doctor advised her to exercise regularly. However, she did not want to sign up with a mainstream gym chain, saying she was “too old and out of shape” to work out there. This prompted Skeen to share his idea with her, and they eventually opened 55 Fitness’ first location in Georgia’s Atlanta Metropolitan area in early 2020. While the gym’s operations were initially affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, business soon picked up, showing the demand for fitness among older adults. What sets 55 Fitness apart from other gyms is that all its personal trainers are certified to work with older adults, ensuring that customers receive advice that is suited for their age and physical capabilities, avoiding injury. The equipment line-up, supplied by Precor, was designed by a Stanford University professor specializing in exercise physiology for older adults. 55 Fitness also features the bioDensity system, a non-pharmaceutical, non-invasive exercise-based therapy that has been shown to increase bone mass, improve strength, reduce cardiac risk, with less than 30 minutes of use per week. “One of our members drives a four-hour round trip weekly, because there aren't any bioDensity machines near her house,” Skeen says. “When she first started coming to us 1.5 years ago, she was hunched over and using a walker. But when I saw her again recently, she was no longer using her walker and could stand straight up. She says it absolutely changed her life.” Aside from the exercise aspect, 55 Fitness also places emphasis on socialization. According to Skeen, from his experience in the senior home care industry, many elderly people have no contact with the outside world aside from their caregiver. This social isolation is linked to poorer health outcomes, which is why around a quarter of 55 Fitness’ floor area is designated as a lounge area with comfortable seating. Every second Saturday of the month, 55 Fitness also holds a customer appreciation event, with catered food and an opportunity for members to meet up and make friends with each other. Skeen says that, while 55 Fitness’ membership is not limited to people 55 and older, its members do tend to be on the older side. Its youngest members are in their 30s, while the oldest is a 98-year-old former Olympic athlete. 55 Fitness is for anybody looking for a comfortable, non-judgmental environment to work out in, resulting in a member retention rate that's significantly above the industry average. Skeen says that 55 Fitness is planning to open additional locations across the US, and it is looking to work with more partners and franchisees in expanding its network of gyms, helping more seniors become fit. “According to a survey, around 95% of individuals 55 and above prefer to work out in the company of their own age, which is why they’re uncomfortable going to regular gyms with the youngsters. They are also more likely to focus on working out for health than for their looks. Our main goal at 55 Fitness is to provide better quality of life for our members, allowing them to become healthier and stronger, with the ability to enjoy their later years.” Media contact: Name: Brendan Skeen Email: franchise@55fitness.com Release ID: 713815
