More than one in 10 Americans have high cholesterol.
Why is this important to know? High cholesterol is one of the leading risk factors for heart disease, the number one killer of all Americans. As your total cholesterol rises, so does your risk for heart disease. The good news is that in most cases, cholesterol levels can be lowered and maintained with a combination of diet, exercise and cholesterol-lowering medications such as statins, says Marco Gonzalez, MD, Nebraska Medicine neurologist. There is also evidence that natural health products or supplements may help lower cholesterol levels. If you have recently dealt with a traumatic event, you might be worried that you're going to feel lousy indefinitely.

This article discusses how to heal from trauma.

Superfoods have a lot of hype around them, but they happen to be some of the healthiest foods to eat every day. While there's no real, quantifiable definition for superfoods, at EatingWell we think of them as multitasking foods brimming with disease-fighting nutrients that are delivered in a delicious form (think: antioxidant-packed blueberries).
But some super-healthy foods are a little too expensive or hard to find to fit into our everyday diets (ahem, goji berry) or something you'd likely only have once in a while (sardines, we're looking at you). We're all for trying new foods—and variety is important for a healthy diet—but we wanted to find superfoods that will be easiest to incorporate into your diet. After all, it doesn't matter how healthy a food is if you're not eating it. The healthiest foods and diets out there focus on real, whole foods: lots of vegetables and fruits, whole grains, healthy proteins and fats, and limited added sugar and sodium. While there are plenty of other good-for-you foods that didn't make this particular list —like lentils, bananas and beets—it's a great place to start if you're looking to add more healthy foods to your diet. So, here is a list of 10 easy-to-eat, easy-to-find, everyday superfoods that make eating healthy simple and delicious.

She realized that she needed to stop focusing on urgent requests, which masqueraded as important things. Instead, she refocused on exploring the type of life she’d like to live.

HOW TO GET YOUR LIFE IN ORDER WHEN THINGS FEEL OUT OF CONTROL by Allison Sue (www.compassmylife.com)4/21/2023 I want to open this post with a moment of real honesty…
There have been several times in my adulthood that I’ve felt like I’ve lost control of my life. My sleeping schedule was erratic, my house was a mess, and my “health routine” left me feeling blahhhhhh. It was really beyond the “I’m in college and still trying to figure out my life” stage of things. Yeah, this was full blown, “I’m a married woman who can’t seem to get a handle on… well, anything and I don’t know why.” I think that was the worst part. The first time it happened, I didn’t know why or where to start or how to get my life in order. Oral hygiene is the practice of keeping your teeth free from decay and your other mouth structures free from infection. This includes regular brushing and flossing. Dr. Z also highly recommends dental exams and cleaning at least twice a year to ensure good oral hygiene.
Oral hygiene is vital to an individual’s overall health and well-being. Studies have shown that untreated oral diseases may increase the risk of adverse health conditions. Thus, maintaining good oral hygiene is important in improving your oral health and overall well-being. |
