Treating Weather-Related Joint Pain Early spring is often marked by wind & rain that precedes the more welcoming warmth synonymous with late spring & summer. Rainy, damp conditions may be great for homeowners looking to revitalize their lawns and gardens, but such conditions can wreak havoc on achy joints, especially for those who experience arthritis. Although there is no concrete proof to link aching joints and muscles with damp weather, rheumatologists are often asked why achy joints and muscles tend to ache that much more in damp weather.

Dropping barometric pressure, which occurs when rain is on the horizon, may cause tissues to swell. Swelling tissues in already inflamed joints can add to pain, especially if these tissues push into nerves and muscles in the area. According to a survey published in the journal Pain, two-thirds of people living with chronic joint pain believe there is a link between their pain and weather changes. Changes in humidity and temperature also may play a role, affecting pressure all over the body. Joint pain may not be the only effect, as some people get headaches as well. While spring may be a painful time of year for sufferers of joint pain, there are steps such men and women can take to alleviate some of those aches. When rainy or cooler temperatures loom, try these ideas. â€˘ See your doctor. If your pain is growing more severe, consult with your doctor, who may be able to develop a plan that helps you deal with the changing seasons more comfortably. Doctors may suggest chiropractic manipulation, or physical therapy or prescribe pain medications. â€˘ Keep the body warm. Cold limbs & joints may be more prone to stiffness and pain. Dress in layers and use heating pads to combat chilly temperatures. â€˘ Exercise painful joints. Rely on low-impact exercises, such as walking or swimming, to loosen up stiffness in the body. Loosening up and stretching before any intense workouts is recommended. Rainy weather may be in the forecast, and that can mean increased pain for those with achy joints. Working with a medical professional can help take the â€œouchâ€? out of seasonal changes.

Safety Tips For Grilling Season People have been cooking meals over open flames since the discovery of fire. Even today, when there are so many ways to cook a meal, many still insist there’s nothing better than the taste of food cooked on the grill. Seven in 10 adults in the United States own a grill or smoker. With so many people firing up their grills, it’s important to recognize the importance of grilling safety. Each year an average of 8,900 home fires are caused by grilling, & close to half of all injuries involving grills are due to thermal burns, advises the National Fire Protection Association. Here’s how to stay safe. • Only grill outside. Propane & charcoal barbecue grills should only be used outdoors. Grills should be placed well away from the home. Keep grills away from deck railings, eaves, overhangs, & tree branches.

• Start fires safely. Charcoal grills & gas grills may be lit using electronic starters that do not require fire. If using starter fluid, only do so on charcoal, & do not add more fluid or other flammable liquids after the fire has ignited.

• Check for gas leaks. Whether the gas grill is hooked up to a propane tank or the natural gas supply of a home, ensure that the hoses or tanks are not leaking. Apply a light soap-and-water solution to hoses to see if they bubble from leaking gas.

• Wait for the grill & coals to cool. Practice safety around the grill until all coals are cool & the grill is no longer hot to the touch. Only then should the grill be moved or relocated. Grilling is a passion that is enjoyed throughout the year. Safely cook outdoors by heeding safety guidelines.

Explore The History Of Salsa

130 S. State St., Suite 212, Belvidere www.VACBC.org Email: VACBoone@VACBC.org

The term “salsa” not only refers to a Latin style of dance, but it also doubles as the name of one of the world’s most popular condiments. “Salsa” is the Spanish & Italian word for sauce, & the salsa that many people enjoy can be used as a sauce, topping, dip, or flavoring for many types of foods.

Belvidere Funeral Home Inc.

Although salsa has been America’s favorite condiment since 2000, its popularity can be traced back thousands of years. Central American nations were some of the first to domesticate the tomato & mix it with other ingredients to produce tasty salsa combinations. It is believed that the salsa we know today originated with the Incan people. Incan lords are purported to have combined tomatoes with chili peppers & ground squash seeds & consumed their salsa primarily as a condiment served on turkey, venison, lobster, & fish.

Hot peppers were an important component of many salsas, & in the early twentieth century, food manufacturers began offering hot sauces in the United States. Some were geared to & named for Louisiana & Creole regions, where spicy foods were the norm & enjoyed regularly.

• Tradition Services

Today there are many different types of salsa, from salsa roja to salsa criolla - a sliced-onion version - to salsa verde. Many jarred, canned & bottled salsas & picante sauces sold in grocery stores are forms of salsa cruda or pico de gallo & typically have a semi-liquid texture. Whether you’re putting salsa atop tacos, using it to season eggs or dipping tortillas into its flavorful base, salsa has become one of the most popular foods across the globe.

Older adults whose children have grown up often look forward to the next stages in life, which may involve retirement, downsizing and enjoying visits with their grandchildren. A growing number of aging adults may find themselves playing a key role in their grandchildren’s lives. According to data from the U.S. Census Bureau, 2.7 million grandparents across the country are stepping into parental roles for their grandkids. Some assist their adult children while others have become the primary caregivers. Factors like military deployment, illness, incarceration, & substance abuse are forcing grandparents to take on responsibilities they may have thought were over. PBS reports that, between 2009 & 2016, the number of grandparents raising grandchildren in the United States rose by 7%. Although raising the next generation can bring about many rewards, including security, sense of purpose, a deeper relationship with family, & social interaction, there are many obstacles as well. That includes the financial strain that raising children can place on individuals unprepared for the cost of child-rearing. Census figures also show that about 1/5 of grandparents caring for children have incomes that fall below poverty level. Grandparents may be rusty concerning safety requirements & equipment now needed to care for grandchildren as well. As grandparents navigate the unexplored waters of raising grandchildren, there are certain factors to consider: Legal advice or advocacy - Certain circumstances may require grandparents to seek legal help so they can raise their grandchildren in lawful ways. If there is neglect, divorce, arrest, or other factors, it may be a smart idea for grandparents to seek the help of an attorney or advocacy group to clarify their legal rights & ensure access to grandchildren. In addition, grandparents may need certain legal documents, such as a power of attorney, citizenship papers, adoption records, or consent forms. Get educated - The rules have changed since grandparents raised their own children. It is important they learn as much as possible on child safety guidelines. Consumer advocacy groups or pediatricians can help explain how guidelines have changed. New furniture & toys that meet current safety guidelines may have to replace older, unsafe items. Take care of yourself - Raising grandchildren can be emotionally taxing, especially if poor circumstances led to the grandchildren being placed with family. It is crucial to recognize feelings & one’s own health when caring for others. A grandparent who is exhausted or overwhelmed may not offer the appropriate care. Emphasizing one’s own mental & physical health is essential, as is getting help & advice when it’s most needed. AARP recommends compiling a list of support services, such as respite care providers, counselors & support groups.

Grandchildren will have feelings, too - Children, whether they are old enough to understand or not, may react to change differently. Some children may act out while others may grow detached. Grandparents can focus on providing stable environments & offer support & consistency even if grandchildren are withdrawing or pushing their loved ones away with words or actions. Raising grandchildren can be complicated, but it has become more prevalent. It can take time for these new family units to find their grooves. More information is available at www.aarp.org in their GrandFamilies Guide.

Preserve Hair Color Longer Communions, graduations, birthday parties, & summer vacations dot many people’s social calendars. People want to look their best on special occasions, & salon or at-home hair treatments may help them look party-ready. People who color their hair regularly or are interested in a new look may wonder how they can prolong their hair care investment. To keep hair color looking shiny, vibrant & the right hue employ these simple strategies. Cover up - According to the experts at Clairol, the sun can break down the color in hair & also bleach away melanin. Wear a hat, especially when exposed to the sun for prolonged periods of time. Employ UV protection - A number of hair products feature built-in UV protection. Much like sunscreen for the skin, these sprays & lotions can shield one’s hair & scalp from damaging UV rays. Shampoo less - Getting in the shower & wetting your hair daily can cause color pigments to leach out prematurely, resulting in fading color. There is no need to shampoo every day. When you shower with a full shampoo, select products that are formulated for color-treated hair.

Swim smarter - Pool water chemicals & salt water from the ocean may wreak havoc on hair color & texture. If a swimming cap is not your thing, try coating your hair with a protective gloss or even a layer of conditioner prior to swimming. This will help hair retain its moisture and keep the water from robbing hair of its color.

Heart-Healthy Lifestyles Begin In The Kitchen Weight-loss initiatives & dieting often go hand-in-hand, but healthy diets can do more than help women shed pounds. Heart disease is the primary killer of females, but embracing heart-healthy diets can help women reduce their risk of developing cardiovascular disease. The American Heart Assoc. reports that heart disease causes one in three female deaths each year in the United States. The AHA also notes that 90% of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease. Fortunately, healthy choices, including the right diet, can help reduce women’s risk for heart disease. Here are a few easy ways to modify eating habits to be more heart-healthy.

• Avoid consuming too many calories. Control portion sizes so that you are not overloading on extra calories. Eat larger portions of nutrient-rich foods & go sparingly on high-calorie, high-sodium and/or refined foods.

• Increase produce consumption. A variety of low-calorie fruits & vegetables can provide ample nutrition & plenty of healthy antioxidants. Choose a variety of fruits & vegetables so that you get as many vitamins & minerals as possible. Make fruits & vegetables your largest portions when eating.

• Reduce sodium intake. Harvard Health points out that too much sodium consumption can increase blood pressure & cause the body to hold onto fluid. Hypertension is a major risk factor for heart attack & stroke. • Add more whole grains to your diet. Dietary fiber from whole grains may improve cholesterol levels, thereby lowering your risk for heart disease. Dietary fiber also can lower risk of stroke, obesity, & type 2 diabetes.

• Choose healthy fats. Studies have shown that omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon, olive oil & flax seed reduce a person’s risk of developing arrhythmia & atherosclerosis. The American Heart Assoc. recommends eating fatty fish at least twice a week as a way to boost omega-3 fatty acid levels. • Load up on berries. When choosing fruits, go heavy on berries. Health magazine reports that according to a 2013 study by the Harvard School of Public Health in the U.S. & the University of East Anglia, United Kingdom, women between the ages of 25 & 42 who ate more than 3 servings of blueberries & strawberries a week had a 32% lower risk of heart attack compared with those who ate less. • Indulge in smart ways. When eating sweets, choose dark chocolate. Dark chocolate contains flavonoids called polyphenols, which may help lower blood pressure & reduce clotting & inflammation.

In addition to a cardiac-friendly diet, women concerned about heart health should aim for at least 150 minutes of moderate physical activity each week. Also, pay attention to food labels to make smarter choices.

Memorial Day - Monday, May 28th The willingness of America’s veterans to sacrifice for our country has earned them our lasting gratitude - Jeff Miller

Cemetery Lots $850 to $900 Grave Openings $950 (Weekends Slightly More)

The History Of Memorial Day Though many people are quick to refer to Memorial Day as the unofficial beginning of summer, the day is much more than that. Initially known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day is a day to remember those military members who died in service of the country. Memorial Day as we know it today can likely be traced to Charleston, S.C., where teachers, missionaries & some members of the press gathered on May 1, 1865 to honor fallen soldiers. During the Civil War, captured Union soldiers were held at the Charleston Race Course & hundreds died during captivity. Upon their deaths, soldiers were buried in unmarked graves. When the Civil War ended, the May Day gathering was organized as a memorial to all the men who had died during captivity. The burial ground was landscaped, & those freed as a result of the Civil War played an integral role in the event at the Charleston Race Course. While the event in Charleston might have been the first Memorial Day-type celebration in the southern United States, General John A. Logan is often cited as inspiring similar events in the north. General Logan issued a proclamation just five days after the Charleston event that called for Decoration Day to be observed annually across the country. Logan preferred the event not be held on the anniversary of any particular battle, & thus the day was observed for the first time on May 30. Celebrating the day in May also was significant to event organizers because May is a month when flowers are in bloom, making it easier for observers of the holiday to place flowers on the graves of fallen soldiers. Nearly every state now celebrates Memorial Day, a name for the holiday first used in 1882, on the last Monday in May.
