The Advantage of Age!
Getting older has it’s advantages and of course it’s disadvantages as well. The advantage of age far out weigh the disadvantages. I mean, hello the alternative is well….. I’d like to hold off please. I find that I’m starting to care less and less what other people think of me. Really, my husband loves me. My kids love me. Alice adores me (she really belongs first on the list, I mean hello…… she is the cutest Grandkid a NaNa could ever have!!). You guys are here for me with friendship and support. Everyone else? Well, ehhhhh, I’m finding it easier and easier not to care. Another perk is that I don’t have to color my hair anymore. Although, seriously I waffle on that almost daily. I am sooooooo tempted to go red again. Maybe that wasn’t a great advantage to pull up. Let’s continue on…… I’m retired. Okay, that should have been first on the list. I wake up when…

Vital Nutrients!!
The world of nutrition and diet science seems to be changing day by day. What claims to work one day doesn’t the next, and every new craze is met with a heavy dose of skepticism by those who’ve seen these changes time and time again. Information keeps changing because scientists still don’t have a comprehensive and detailed understanding of the human digestion system, but there are a lot of things they do know. For instance, we know from studies that certain vitamins and minerals are essential for the proper functioning of the body. A recent study from the North American Menopause Society showed that calcium and vitamin D promote growth of hormones that help bones grow. This is an essential finding for women of an older age who suffer from debilitating conditions like osteoporosis. While it’s still difficult to determine exactly how much of each substance everyone needs to gain optimum health, we do know that certain vitamins and minerals…
