Did life treat you fairly?
Can be an easy question. Yes. But is that true? Some will say that they didn’t deserve what happened to them or family or someone they knew.
I have almost 25 call them scars on my body. A real pro when it comes to be operated on. Not something I chose. So medically it’s been tough.
So, make it simple or go in full detail.

Medically speaking. Florida making a mistake on vaccines?
This is not a political question, but a medical. Please do not bring politics into this. If you do, I will delete your comment.
Florida is scrapping all vaccine mandates. That includes scrapping immunization requirements, including hepatitis B, polio, measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) and chickenpox, for all Florida schools.
I agree that with COVID Vaccines that would be the right move, but I disagree with the children’s vaccines.
Joseph Ladapo’s announcement came in conjunction with the establishment of the Florida Make America Healthy Again commission, which will be chaired by Florida first lady Casey DeSantis and Lt. Gov. Jay Collins.
At the press conference in the Tampa suburb of Valrico, Florida, Gov. Ron DeSantis said the commission will focus on tenets that include “individual medical freedom, informed consent, parent rights and also market innovation.”

Top 11 Energy Foods for Seniors.
As we age, prioritizing a nutritious diet becomes increasingly vital for our overall health and well-being.
While healthy snacking can be beneficial for supplementing nutrients, it’s crucial to select foods that offer more than just flavor—they should also provide the essential vitamins, minerals, and energy needed to sustain us throughout the day.
If you’re seeking energy-boosting foods, you’re in the right place. Here are our top eleven picks for energy foods for seniors that will support your vitality and well-being:
Nature’s candy, fruits like berries, bananas, apples, and melons, are delicious and packed with essential vitamins, minerals, and fiber to support brain health and bone density.
Crunchy and nutritious, vegetable sticks such as carrots, celery, cucumbers, and bell peppers are perfect for snacking. Pair them with hummus or yogurt dip for added protein and flavor. They are easy to prepare and digest, making them suitable for older adults on a soft food diet.
Energize your day with nuts and seeds. Almonds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and sunflower seeds are excellent sources of healthy fats, protein, and omega-3 fatty acids, making them high-energy snacks. Opt for unsalted varieties for a heart-healthy snack option that supports brain health.
Rich in protein and calcium, plain Greek yogurt is a creamy and satisfying snack choice. Top it with fresh berries, nuts, or honey for added flavor and energy. It’s nutrient-rich and easy to digest.
Cheese provides calcium and protein, making it another great snack option to support bone density. Choose low-fat varieties if watching cholesterol levels.
Look for crackers made with whole grains and low in sodium. Pair them with cheese or nut butter for a satisfying and nutrient-rich snack that supports brain health.
Blend together fruits, leafy greens, yogurt, and a protein source like protein powder or nut butter to create a delicious and nutrient-packed snack. This is an easy way to get your fruits and vegetables all in one. Smoothies are another great option for those on a soft food diet.
Eggs are a great source of protein and vitamins. Hard-boiled eggs make a convenient and filling snack option, providing essential nutrients for brain health and bone density.
Mix together nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and whole grain cereal for a customizable snack that provides energy and nutrients. It’s nutrient-rich and easy to prepare, making it a great food choice. You have more control over the nutrients when you make your own trail mix as opposed to buying store-bought trail mix.
Spread almond or natural peanut butter on whole grain bread for a tasty snack rich in protein, a great source of fiber, and full of healthy fats. It supports brain health and provides essential nutrients.
​​Energize your day with cottage cheese with fruit! Packed with protein and calcium, cottage cheese is perfect for increasing your energy levels and supporting bone health. Pair it with fresh or canned fruit for a delightful and nutritious snack that’s quick to prepare and easy to digest.
Remember to consider any dietary restrictions or health conditions when selecting snacks, and consult with a healthcare professional or dietitian for personalized recommendations.

Debunking Common Health Myths.
Old wives’ tales about health have been around for generations. Health myths persist because misinformation spreads easily, especially with the popularity of social media. Here is the truth about some of the most common health myths:
• Drink 8 glasses of water daily. According to WebMD, there is no need to count cups. People who drink when they are thirsty stay well-hydrated. In addition, fruit, vegetables, soup, and beverages such as juice, coffee, and tea all contribute to our daily hydration needs.
• Eggs cause heart disease. By now, it’s been pretty well established that eating eggs is good for you, as long as you don’t overdo it. According to Real Simple, all eggs are rich in protein, phosphorus, selenium, chlorine, iron, vitamin A and B vitamins. The B vitamins and choline found in eggs are beneficial to brain health. While eggs do contain cholesterol, experts say that dietary cholesterol does not significantly raise blood cholesterol levels enough to trigger heart disease in healthy people.
• You can catch a cold by being out in cold weather. According to Johns Hopkins Medicine, contrary to popular belief, cold weather or feeling chilled doesn’t cause a cold. However, more colds do occur during the cold weather seasons because schools are in session, increasing the risk for exposure to the virus. People also stay indoors more when it’s cold and are in closer proximity to each other, making it easier to pass along germs. The low humidity of winter causes dry nasal passages, which are more susceptible to cold viruses.
• You need a daily multivitamin. You should get most of your daily nutrients from a well-rounded diet that includes lots of fruit, vegetables, nuts, healthy oils and whole grains. But if your doctor feels you are suffering from a deficiency, a vitamin supplement may be needed.
• You need to eat breakfast to lose weight. Not so, say experts from Cornell University who found that people who skipped breakfast didn’t overeat at lunch and dinner and, in fact, ate 400 fewer calories a day.
• Green mucus means infection. One study looked at green mucus samples from people with a cough and no other lung conditions. It found that only about 1 in 10 of those green mucus samples were caused by a bacterial infection. This means that most people with green mucus don’t have a bacterial infection. In short, mucus color alone isn’t a reliable way to say whether you need antibiotics, says GoodRx.
• Sugar makes kids hyper. While sugar isn’t good for children, research shows that it won’t cause them to act out or be unable to focus on their schoolwork.
• Toilet seats can pass along germs. According to WebMD, toilet seats are usually clean. It’s the doorknobs, handles and floors that can be covered with bacteria like E. coli, norovirus and the flu. Use paper towels to cover your hands when opening doors or touching handles and a hand sanitizer afterwards.
• Cracking joints triggers arthritis. While the sound of someone cracking their joints can be annoying, it does not cause arthritis. Experts at the Cleveland Clinic say one reason that your joints may make a cracking noise could be gas escaping from a synovial membrane, or a ligament or tendon passing over another ligament or tendon. However, if you feel regular or severe pain in your joints, seek medical help.

What changed in three weeks?
In just three short weeks, the daffodils took off.
In early spring, the landscape transitions from winter dormancy to signs of renewal, with temperatures gradually rising and snow and ice melting. Late spring sees a more vibrant and lush landscape as flowers bloom in abundance.
This involves bud swelling, leaf emergence, and the start of photosynthesis. Some plants also initiate flowering and seed production, while others prepare for summer growth.

Strokes From Neck Artery Tears Rising Fast.
Strokes caused by an artery tear are landing five times as many Americans in the hospital these days, a new study says.
Cervical artery dissection involves a small tear in the inner lining of an artery in the neck that supplies blood to the brain.
Blood can clot at the site of the tear. If the clot breaks loose, it can travel to the brain and cause a stroke.
Hospitalizations for this sort of stroke have increased nearly fivefold during the past 15 years, according to findings published April 2 in the journal Neurology.
“Cervical artery dissection is an important cause of stroke, especially in people under 50, so it is crucial to detect it right away,” senior researcher Dr. Shadi Yaghi, a vascular neurologist at Brown University in Providence, R.I., said in a news release.
“Strokes that are not fatal can lead to long-term disability, poor mental health and reduced quality of life,” he said. “Our research found a dramatic increase in the number of hospitalizations for cervical artery dissection, with rates rising steadily year over year.”
These sort of tears in the cervical artery are most often caused by a motor vehicle crash or other accident that causes neck strain, researchers said. However, activities as simple as heavy lifting has been known to cause a cervical artery tear in some people.
For the study, researchers analyzed 15 years of U.S. health data to identify more than 125,000 people hospitalized for cervical artery dissection.
Patients had an average age of 51, and just over half suffered a stroke from their artery tear, results show.
The number of artery tears increased about 10% a year on average, rising from 11 cases per million people in 2005 to 46 cases per million in 2019, results show.
Men and women were equally at risk for suffering an artery tear, but there were differences between races.
Cervical artery dissections increased by 16% a year on average among Hispanic people, compared to 13% for Black people, 12% for Asian people and 8% for white people.
Seniors also have become more prone to these tears, with an average annual increase of 12% among people 65 and older compared to 8% for people under 65, researchers said.
“Possible reasons for this nearly five-fold increase over 15 years include greater awareness of cervical artery dissection by health care professionals, better access to imaging to help identify it and an overall increase in this condition for which a cause has yet to be determined,” Yaghi said.
“Given the rising incidence of cervical artery dissection, our study underscores the importance of finding prevention strategies as well as new treatments to reduce the risk of stroke,” he added.

Amish go high tech.
When you think of the Amish do you think high tech? I never did until I picked up a local magazine in Amish country in Middlefield, Ohio.
Middlefield is located in northeastern Ohio, just west of Mosquito Lake and borders neighboring town Burton. Middlefield is home to 2,710 people and continues to be a major location known for its Amish community. It is well regarded as the fourth largest Amish settlement in America.And they are more modern then you would think. High tech buggies?
Still horse and buggy, but what’s under the hood. How about heated seats. A dash console with LED components and switches for headlights, taillights and turn signals, all powered by a lithium battery.
And do you think that the horse drawn buggy when needed to stop is the horse doing that all by its self? No my friends they have hydraurlic brakes.

If you were able to come back, but it had to be an animal. What animal would you wish to be?
I don’t believe in being able to come back, but if I did, I would pick the animal that could run the fastest. It’s a eat or be eaten world so I would not want to be another’s breakfast, lunch, or supper.
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) holds the title of the world’s fastest land animal. With acceleration that would leave most automobiles in the dust, a cheetah can go from zero to 60 miles an hour in only three seconds. But it can only hold that speed for about 30 seconds.
So tell us your pick.
