This article in the New York Times says what I’ve been saying for months.protein is important, essential for health, but not when the source is something like protein infused junk food and drinks. Don’t be fooled!
.

Protein is everywhere — in chips, candy, cookies, even water. Does that make these products healthy?

If you love trees, I think you'll love learning about Dr. Diana Beresford-Kroeger, a botanist raised by Celtic medicine women in Ireland and currently living in Ontario.

She speaks in this video about the healing properties of trees, some of which only require the degree of exposure one gets from forest bathing.
One such tree is the pine tree whose needles are pictured below. You'll see each frond holds 5 needles. These pines emit aerosols, which Dr. Beresford-Kroeger determined from her research, will boost immunity significantly when its aerosols are inhaled while standing under the tree.

I'm attaching a link to a conversation with Dr. Beresford-Kroeger which is quite fascinating.

Please share it if you agree.

GLP-1s: What Older Adults Need to Know

Unless you’ve been living in a faraway land, you’ve probably heard about GLP-1 medications such as Ozempic and Wegovy. In just a few years, these drugs have become remarkably common and currently rank at #14 on the most purchased drugs.

We know why. GLP-1 medications can slow stomach emptying, reduce appetite, increase feelings of fullness and help regulate blood sugar. For many people, they lead to substantial weight loss.

What Awes You?

Can you think of moments when you've experienced awe? When the memory arises, can you also recall how it made you feel?

For me, in moments of awe, feelings of peace, love and calm envelop me. Recalling these moments, I visualize my shoulders dropping a bit, my face relaxing into a smile, and a feeling of lightness.

How can we not believe this is healing for us? When the body and mind relax, our inner workings flow more easily. When the experience is elevated to awe, something even deeper happens.

Look for awe in your daily life. It may be the sight of a newborn baby, the feel of the wind on your cheek, the sound of the waves at the ocean, or a deeply moving experience with another human being. What is it for you?

Awe can heal you in ways you might not have imagined.

I will enjoy my favorite ice cream (maple walnut) a few times over the summer for sure.

Summer has a way of encouraging us to slow down and savor life's simple pleasures—longer days, fresh produce, backyard gatherings, and time spent outdoors with family and friends. It's also a wonderful time to give our bodies the nourishment they need to support lifelong wellness.

I love filling the kitchen with the aromas of garlic, simmering tomatoes and onions. Having a marinara sauce works with so many dishes.
