Healthy Tips

Did you know that your diet can override genetic predisposition to various disease?

On a daily basis try including fruits such as avocados and berries, vegetables including the dark green ones, nuts, whole grains, and fish.  These are the heart healthy, body healthy foods that will help to prevent premature aging, gain energy, and help you feel the splendor that only overall good health can bring!

If you believe the old adage, “You are what you eat”, then make it your motto!

Did you know that when you walk, when you get that cardio-vascular going, that it prompts your body to cleanse out some of the oxidation materials that have accumulated in your cells?  Do that at least 5 days a week for 30 minutes (and more is definitely better in this case)

So walk as if your life depends on it – because maybe it does!

Scams Affecting Seniors

Financial scams to avoid

According to the FBI, seniors are still the top target of scam artists. The main reason for this is that a senior citizen likely owns their home and has retirement money set aside. Also, older perople are less likely to report fraud out of fear or embarrassment.

Unfortunately, the list of current scams circulating the country is long and covers many different arenas from travel, to health insurance, and even funeral home fraud.

 Do you have ice on your cell phone?

What is ICE?  It means “in case of emergency” and in case of an accident or other emergency, the person needed to contact is right there under that category.  So on your cell phone, make sure someone will have the means to contact the person who would need to know where you are.  Just input that person’s name and phone number in your cell phone and identify the name as “ICE”.  It’s that simple and could be an extremely important asset in case of any kind of emergency!
