TRICKS TO KEEP FLORAL ARRANGEMENTS FRESH

Get them in water quickly: Place the flowers in a vase or other vessel with water promptly after making the cuts. Some florists like to cut the stems under water to prevent air bubbles from forming in the stems. Choose an arrangement first, then cut and place the flowers in water quickly. This gives fresh arrangements a good chance to last awhile.

Moths (written at my camp in the woods)

By Mitzi Merrill

My screams, they come in the morning

My screams, they come at night

My screams don’t come from joyful times

ey only come from fright.

e mice will run through my cupboards

e spiders nest under my sink

e bees, they buzz ‘round my awnings

None of these pests make me blink!

But moths, they’re really quite creepy

ey’re furry and really shouldn’t fly

ey’re hiding behind every warm spot

And dart out and that’s when I cry!

When gypsy moths made a visit

And dropped as worms from the sky, ey turned into moths by the dozen

And I thought I was gonna die!

One flew out from my q-tips

One hid inside my tool

One warmed itself on my lightbulb

And they ended up in my toilet-enjoy the pool!

HOW TO BUILD YOUR HOME BAR

Stock

A new home bar requires barware and glassware. Various drinks are best served in requisite glassware and prepared with the right equipment. A home bar will benefit from a muddler, jigger, cocktail shaker, strainer, ice cube trays, and bar spoon. Glassware can include short glasses, tall glasses and wine glasses with stems. Martini glasses provide a chic look and are practical for those who prefer cosmopolitans and martinis.

DID YOU KNOW?

DatafromtheUnitedStatesDepartment of Justice indicates that partner violence accounted for 20 percent of all violent crime in the U.S. in 2018. The World Health Organization defines intimate partner violence as behavior within an intimate relationship that causes physical,sexual or psychological harm. Such violence can include acts of physical aggression, sexual coercion, psychological abuse, and controlling behaviors. Violence perpetrated by both current and former spouses and partners falls under the umbrella of intimate partner violence. Domestic violence is so prevalent that the National Network to End Domestic Violence reports that it fields more than 19,000 calls on a typical day. Anyone who is a victim of domestic violence or suspects a loved one or acquaintance is being abused is urged to call the National Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-799-7233 (SAFE) or 1-800-7873224 (TTY) right away.

REASONS TO SHOP FARMERS’ MARKETS

Foods at farmers’ markets tend to be limited to in-season offerings. Some nutritionists suggest eating seasonally available foods is better for your body, because humans ate seasonal produce for thousands of years before shipping and refrigeration changed how people received the majority of their foods. In addition, many people feel that fresh, seasonal foods taste better than the alternatives.

Stay updated on recalls

In the world of food recalls and alerts, just when you think you’ve seen it all, something even more scary and dangerous comes along. We’ve had the “normal” stuff, of course. There was the cheese produced in a facility that had mice and rats.There was the cheese that was recalled for risk of listeria.We had undeclared wheat in chocolate cookies and boxes of cheese crackers that actually contained peanut butter crackers, a potential life-threatening problem for those who are allergic to peanuts.Then there was the undeclared soy and wheat in ice cream. An energy drink was found to contain alcohol because the alcoholic drink was mistakenly packaged in the energy drink cans. Just regular stuff, right?

But it was another one that gave me a chill: instant coffee was found to contain ground glass.

The coffee was sold in 48 states, with only Hawaii and Alaska being left out. It wasn’t just one manufacturing lot that was affected, but three. The company was notified by a customer and immediately issued the recall. I hate to think of the possible injuries that could be caused by drinking that coffee.

At the same time, this last week saw consumer products recalls for the charger to smartwatches because they can overheat and ignite, kids’ pajamas that don’t meet flammability standards, jewelry with excess levels of cadmium (which can cause health effects due to skin exposure), heated socks that can cause burns and blisters, a multitool with a blade that can cause cuts and a set of kitchen steps with a safety bar that can collapse.

Whew. It’s been busy in the recall department, and those are only from the consumer products section.

If you’d like to receive email alerts for all types of products (food, vehicles, medicine, consumer products, boats, environmental products, cosmetics), go online to www.recalls.gov and sign up. Other government websites with recalls include www.fda.gov and www.fsis.usda.gov.

SENIORS AND EXERCISE: TIPS TO AVOID INJURIES, GET HEALTHY

Pick a partner. Whether it’s a spouse or a friend who is physically active or wants to be, try exercising with a partner, at least initially. Doing so can provide the motivation you need and partners can serve as safety nets should you need assistance completing an exercise or suffer an injury and require medical attention. Personal trainers can serve as your partner, and many gyms offer discounts to seniors on personal training services.

CANAL WALKS WITH CANINES

The Erie Canalway Trail is a favorite among dog walkers from Brockport to Albion, and for good reason! With long, flat paths and scenic views, it’s the perfect weekend outing. Just remember: even in rural stretches, leash laws apply. And always bring bags, this trail is a shared gem!

Bindi is an 8 year old Chihuahua who likes sitting on anyone’s lap and getting attention.

Ethel is a 16 year old mix who likes going on walks and playing in the creek. They are both rescues, love treats and reside at the Middlesex Valley Airport.

PET-FRIENDLY PATIOS ARE GROWING

From Geneseo to Spencerport, more cafes and breweries are allowing pets on patios. Call ahead or check social media, but many outdoor spots now welcome well-behaved pups. Don’t forget water and shade... those sunny patio bricks get hot!

Hazelnut is a 1-2 y.o. 60lb Lab mix. She would love to go on hikes and loves attention. She would thrive in a very active household. If you’d like to know more about Hazelnut please call

Pets in history: Heroic dogs and cats

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Thank you for discussing war dogs and their service with our armed forces. Can you highlight some non-military canine heroes, too? -- Jim F., San Diego

DEAR JIM: Absolutely! Dogs have been performing heroic feats for as long as they’ve been our companions. But only a few have made it into the history books. Here are a few that some readers may not have heard of: Balto and Togo: In January 1925, a diphtheria outbreak threatened the population of Nome, Alaska. To deliver lifesaving serum, teams of sled dogs relayed 500 miles across ice and snow in treacherous weather. Togo led his dog team across the longest, most dangerous part of the relay. Balto, a young and inexperienced husky, sprinted through fierce winds to reach the town in record time. Today, their journey is commemorated each year with the Iditarod sled race.

Riley: A Golden Retriever search-and-rescue (SAR) dog who became the face of SAR dogs in the wake of 9/11. At one point, Riley was sent alone in a basket over a 60foot chasm to search the wreckage on the other side. He was one of many dogs who searched the World Trade Center rubble to recover those lost. Riley died in 2010, suffering various health problems, possibly from his time at Ground Zero.

Buddy: In 1928, this German Shepherd became the first Seeing Eye dog in the United States. Born in Switzerland, she (yes, Buddy was a she) was trained by Dorothy Harrison Eustis, who ran a kennel that trained military and police dogs. Eustis matched Buddy to Frank Morris, a sight-impaired man from the U.S. Morris championed the use of Seeing Eye dogs, demonstrating Buddy’s skill at leading him across busy Manhattan streets.

A skill that has always existed improves the aesthetics of our homes, shields us from every weather, and ensures we have a good night’s sleep even in the coldest weather. Sewing is that skill. National Sewing Month is celebrated to honor this artistic practice that fashions our bodies and adorns our homes all year. So, grab your needles and start sewing.

Creating quilts, clothing, and other masterpieces will always bring you self-satisfaction. Sewing is a fun activity to do alone or with friends, whether you sew from scratch, alter clothing, or repurpose your wardrobe. The Singer sewing machine, the world's most popular sewing machine, was invented in 1851.

Ronald Reagan proclaimed National Sewing Month in 1982.

The French military leader Napoleon is said to have pioneered putting buttons on sleeves.

NUTRITIOUS SCHOOL LUNCH IDEAS FOR KIDS

Annie’s Ark presents for Preschool ABC Jesus Loves Me Curriculum

Our play-based learning will encourage your child’s curiosity through engaging activities that promote learning in natural and child-centered ways.

Activities are designed to support key growth in the following areas: Motor Skills Language Development Pre-Writing Bible Learning Social Interaction Cognitive Skills

Our programs run from 9-11:30am

3 year-old Program: Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday

No two children are the same, but many youngsters share a number of similarities. Few young children enjoy going to bed on time, and many can’t resist a good trampoline. Kids also have a reputation for being picky eaters, which can be challenging for parents tasked with picking and preparing school lunches.

When dining at home, parents know which foods their kids eat and which they push around their plates in the hopes they won’t have to consume them. School lunch is a different scenario altogether, as parents are not around to ensure their youngsters eat a full and nutritious meal. Kids who are picky eaters may not eat any lunch at all. Parents who want to ensure their children get the nutrition they need to do well in school can consider the following school lunch ideas.

4 year-old Program: Monday - Friday

• Make-your-own sandwich: Kids may be more likely to eat a full lunch if they get to put it together themselves. Parents can put all the elements of a tasty sandwich into youngsters’ lunch boxes, but let kids assemble the meal themselves. Sandwiches are not necessarily the healthiest midday meal, but they are much more nutritious when parents pack whole grain bread, tomatoes, lettuce, and low-sodium deli meat in students’ lunch boxes. If a do-it-yourself sandwich is a nonstarter, consider a DIY taco lunch complete with whole grain tortillas.

• Burrito bowl: A burrito bowl with kid-friendly yet nutritious ingredients is another great school lunch option. Red beans are a good source of fiber and the Harvard Medical School notes all beans are rich in potassium. Fiber is filling, so a burrito bowl that includes fiber-rich ingredients, including red beans but also quinoa or brown rice, can help students avoid late-day hunger pangs that can compromise how they feel and perform in the classroom. Burrito bowls are so tasty that kids may not even realize Mom and Dad have snuck some healthy foods like vegetables into their midday meal.

Cost is $15 for each edition

Submissions must be received at least 1 week prior to publication date. Your child must be 15 years or younger. Photo may be submitted by a parent, guardian or grandparent.

• Parfait: Parfait has all the looks of a tasty dessert without the pitfalls of ice cream and other treats. The nutritional value of parfait depends on the ingredients Mom and Dad choose to include. Protein-rich Greek yogurt paired with some fruit and granola makes for a filling and tasty meal that’s also loaded with vitamins, minerals and fiber. An insulated and airtight lunch box packed with ice packs can ensure the parfait is still cool come lunchtime.

• Pasta salad: Kids tend to be especially fond of pasta, and parents can use that affinity to their advantage when planning school lunches. A whole-wheat pasta salad with some cherry tomatoes and diced broccoli makes for a nutrient-rich lunch that kids can enjoy. If broccoli figures to raise youngsters’ ire, consider a nutritious substitute, such as shaved cucumber or zucchini.

School lunches can be nutritious and still make kids excited to eat their midday meal away from home.

WHAT PARENTS CAN DO TO BE MORE INVOLVED AT SCHOOL

Education is vital for young people to reach their full potential and enjoy success in adulthood. Students’ academic journeys begin as early as preschool and continue for decades. While students ultimately earn degrees or professional certifications in their own names, their academic journeys are often a team effort that includes the support of their parents.

Parental involvement in school can pay significant dividends for students. In 2019, the American Psychological Association reviewed more than 400 studies examining parental involvement in school. That review found that students whose parents were involved in their children’s schooling showed greater academic achievement, school engagement and motivation compared to youngsters with parents who were not involved. That payoff compels millions of parents to get involved in their children’s schooling, and the following are a handful of ways to do just that.

• Start the year off right. Parental involvement in children’s schooling can begin before a new school year gets under way. Orientation events designed to acclimate students to new schools can help calm youngsters’ nerves when they’re beginning kindergarten, elementary school, middle school, or high school. Transferring to a new school due to a family relocation or another variable can be difficult for students, and parents can make that transition a little easier by attending orientation events before the first day of classes. Back-to-school nighs held a week or two into the school year also present a great chance for parents to start the year off right.

• Actively communicate with children’s teachers. Parents can contact teachers at the start of a new school year to identify the best way to communicate. Some schools utilize apps to facilitate communication with parents. Some teachers may prefer communicating via email, phone calls or even text messages. Parents should not hesitate or be afraid to reach out to teachers about their children’s needs.

• Do your part at home, too. Parental involvement in children’s education can extend to the home as well. Parents can emphasize the importance of education in conversations with their children and offer to help with homework when children seem to need some assistance. Parents also can ask about assignments and tests, enthusiastically engage in projects designed to involve students’ families, and provide a stable, distraction-free home environment where kids can focus on their schoolwork.

• Volunteer with parental organizations. Parent teacher associations/organizations are always in need of members to help to organize special events and volunteer at school functions. Parents can join groups such as a PTA or PTO to get more involved in campus life. If joining such groups is not possible, parents can let it be known that they would like to volunteer for events throughout the school year.

• Ask children about their day. One of the simplest ways parents can be more involved in children’s schooling is to ask them about their day when they arrive home. Ask children what they did in class, and which parts of their day they found most, or even least, enjoyable. When parents express an interest in what kids are doing at school, that may compel kids to be more interested in their

Children are the ultimate beneficiaries when parents get involved in their youngsters’ education, and there’s no shortage of ways for moms and dads to engage at school.

TIPS FOR LABOR DAY GETAWAYS

Be cautious of the weather - Extreme temperatures can be a concern even this late in the season. The American Red Cross urges travelers to remain hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids while en route to destinations or while engaging in Labor Day fun.Avoid strenuous exercise during the hottest part of the day.Strong storms can blow through in an instant,so keep track of weather alerts and find shelter if a thunderstorm approaches while on the beach or in other areas where lightning strikes occur more readily.

We want to continue to curate a product that you feel good about reading, where you can learn about what’s happening with your neighbors and feel proud about living in our beautiful region. e Penny Saver has been many things to many people but the one constant for the publication has been a focus on “local.” To that end, we want to expand all that we share with you to make this the best and most useful publication. So what does this mean?

e bottom line is we want to create and share more local content. at might include stories about high school athletes, highlights of local trails and other natural gems to visit, homesteading tips, reviews of new books coming out from local authors, shared local poetry, new playground reviews, and even local generational recipe sharing! ese are just a taste of what we want to build. However, our focus will not be on hard news. Politics and police blotters have never been

ank You!

“My Friend Linda” was a beautiful poem and I cried just reading it. Losing a dear friend is almost as heart wrenching as losing a family member. My sympathy to the author…I know the memories of your friend will always be in your heart.

Country Neighbors

I recently passed by a neighbor’s roadside sign that I thought read ‘fresh veggies.’ I turned around for some zucchini and to see what else they had. Turns out I misread the sign and it actually said, ‘free veggies!’ Thank you for the zucchini and green beans, it made my day and I’ll be enjoying some fresh zucchini bread as soon as it comes out of the oven! Thanks, neighbor!

A Special Young Man

I wish to thank the young man who found my wallet at Marketplace parking area on Aug 4. His father drove him to my house to return it before I even missed the loss (and suffered the search anxiety). What a blessing. You’ve brightened my life, Thank You.

Fun is Too Expensive

I understand prices are high for products and travel and the companies who run county fair concessions and rides need to make money. $5 is not bad to get in but try to eat. Drink. Go on a ride or play a game and you are in for a rude awakening. Fun should not put you in debt or break the bank. Most of the stands and rides had only a couple of people and no lines, they might find making a couple of dollars less would double or triple their sales. example - Two people to ride the Ferris Wheel: $20.00 - we walked away.

Stop Feeding e Varmints

For God’s sake please stop feeding the varmints in the neighborhood!! I know you think you’re being helpful, but leaving food of any sort in your yard is only inviting rodents and such into the neighborhood. I work nights and often sit on my porch late at night and people would be disgusted what creeps around after they are tucked into bed thinking they did a good deed by feeding skunks, rats, woodchucks, etc. And PLEASE turn your spotlight garage lights off at night! It shines down at least 4-5 houses. My retinas are burnt!! Thank you in advance.

According to current data, the average home price around our area is up 8–15% year-over-year, with homes selling for about 15% above asking. What do you think the local housing market will look like over the next year?

- Home prices will keep going up

- Prices will level off or even dip

- Things will balance out — fewer bidding wars, more normal sales

- Homes will still sell above asking

- More houses will come on the market

- Mortgage rates will shape what happens most

Q.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 75-year-old woman who isn’t prediabetic or diabetic.My BMI is 31.2.My doctor has prescribed a trial of metformin for weight loss as an alternative to starting Ozempic or one of the other weight-loss drugs. I have lost three pounds in a month, which is a start; exercise and healthier eating is also encouraged.

What are your thoughts on this new weight-loss tool and its possible longterm success? -- J.H.

ANSWER: Metformin, a treatment for diabetes that works mostly by preventing the liver from making sugar, isn’t new and has been used to help people lose weight for at least 20 years. While it was first shown to help people with prediabetes or diabetes, it is also effective at helping people with normal blood sugar lose weight. However, the effectiveness is modest, with most people losing around 2-3 kilograms (about 5 pounds), which is stable as long as people continue taking the medicine.

I certainly agree with the changes in lifestyle. In studies, people who adhere to a healthier diet and exercise are likely to lose more weight than people who take metformin without lifestyle changes.

I’ve had occasional patients who get motivated by the success of metformin, making it easier for them to comply with the diet and exercise changes. I’ve also had people say that the weight they lose with metformin makes it easier to exercise. Metformin is moderately successful in preventing diabetes, but it is not as effective for weight loss as approved weight-loss medicines such as semaglutide (Ozempic).

Some of my patients have read about metformin as an anti-aging drug based on animal data, and there are studies ongoing to see whether this is true in humans. I do not recommend its use for this purpose outside of a clinical trial.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I’m unable to find out from my health care provider’s clinic whether they offer a vaccine for the specific variant of COVID that is now said to be spreading. Do you know if there is a vaccine for this, and who is making it? -- J.A.

ANSWER: The Vaccines and Related Biological Products Advisory Committee at the Food and Drug Administration recommends against a new vaccine formulation this fall, so it appears that we will be using the same vaccine as last year. Fortunately the current vaccine appears to be effective against the new NB.1.8.1 variant,which is now present in all areas that are monitored by the World Health Organization.

The FDA has approved a new, more-effective Moderna vaccine, but at the time of this writing, it has not yet been approved by the Centers for Disease Control. The new vaccine gives high protection with less antigens. However, the specific variants of COVID used for the vaccine will not be updated this year.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2025 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

STRANGE BUT TRUE

By Lucie Winborne

* In March 2019, the Roosevelt Hotel in New Orleans celebrated its 125th anniversary by offering a free seven-night stay in the presidential suite, along with complimentary private dinners and spa treatments worth $15,000. But this wasn’t your everyday giveaway -- the prize was only available to the person who returned the “most outrageous” item ever stolen from the hotel!

DID YOU KNOW?

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, regular physical activity is one of the most important things older adults can do to promote their long-term health. The CDC recommends that men and women age 65 or older who are generally fit and have no limiting health conditions need at least two hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, each week. In addition, such people should perform strengthtraining activities that work all major muscle groups at least two days per week. While many fit older men and women with no preexisting health conditions are capable of these activities, those able to push themselves a little further can opt for 75 minutes per week of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, such as jogging or running, combined with the same strength-training regimen. A combination of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity coupledwithstrengthtrainingmay also provide adequate physical activity for aging men and women. Before beginning a new exercise regimen, men and women should consult with their physicians to discuss any limitations they may have and how to manage those risks while still being active.

LIVINGSTON COUNTY CELEBRATES

Bring Your Child to Work Day!

Mothers and fathers in the County workforce gave their children a glimpse into their public service work yesterday during Livingston County’s second annual Bring Your Child to Work Day.

Nearly 40 kids, ranging in age from 5 to 15, attended the event, where they received a first-hand look at the role their parents play in providing County programs and services to residents. Livingston County Training and Professional Development Coordinator Kelly Greenway planned and organized the half-day event.

“You can explain your work, but for younger kids, seeing it for themselves is much more impactful,” she said. “I think getting to experience this in person helps them understand and appreciate the work their parents perform for our community every day. I hope it inspires the next generation of public servants here in Livingston County.”

e youngest temporary members of the County’s workforce started the day with donuts and gi bags in Geneseo at the County Government Center. ey visited the Board of Supervisors Assembly Room to experience how County government operates. e Clerk of the Board, Michele Rees, explained the process by which elected officials from each town vote to approve policies, projects, and local laws. Each child had the opportunity to represent their town during a mock board meeting and vote on simulated resolutions for public pools, lifeguard staffing, and bike trails presented by Economic Development Director Bill Bacon.

BRING YOUR CHILD TO WORK DAY LIVINGSTON COUNTY

e kids then made their way to the Sheriff’s Office where they toured the department’s mine-resistant ambushprotectedvehicle(MRAP).Deputiesassistedthemwithchild ID kits, including fingerprints and physical descriptions, essential information to help law enforcement in case of a missing child. ey also visited the 911 operations center where officers shared how telecommunicators handle calls to the County’s emergency line and how they work as a team to keep the public safe 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Chelsea Nichols works in the Department of Health’s Center for Sexual Health and Wellness. She attended the event with her three children, Ryker, Kade and Brinley, and she said, “ is is our first time doing this. It was really nice. It was a great setup and they learned a lot. My kids loved the badges with their pictures on them. We’re already looking forward to next year.”

In the County Clerk’s office, Acting County Clerk Kristine Secor showed the children how deeds, marriage licenses, and other important records are preserved and made accessible to the public. She demonstrated passport processing, giving the kids a chance to step in front of the camera and get their own mock passport photos to take home.

Board of Elections Commissioners, Gary Nageldinger and David DiPasquale, outlined the County’s role in local elections. ey gave the group a chance to use real ballots to vote for their favorite candy, color, football team, and sport. e kids inserted their votes into a real voting machine to see how ballots are processed for each election.

Information and Technology Services Network Administrator Grant Cox brought his son, Beckett, to experience the day, and he said, “I love that this is done in the County. I like that the kids get a chance to see what happens at the County and they can kind of appreciate it a little bit more.”

At the Office of Workforce Development, the children learned how the County helps residents prepare for and find meaningful employment. Deputy Director Mary Guldenschuh shared how they connect residents with training programs and support services to help land jobs and build careers. Office staff created resumes for the kids and led the group through a hands-on team-building exercise.

At the County’s Murray Hill Campus, Department of Social Services staff explained how the County supports individuals and families through programs like SNAP, childcare assistance, and protective services. e children heard real-world examples of the agency’s work helping neighbors in need, such as making sure a family has food on the table, helping parents find and afford childcare so they can work, and stepping in to protect a child or adult from harm.

e kids then went on a walking tour of the 138-acre grounds hosted by County Historian Holly Watson, Deputy Historian Madeline Friedler, and Records Inventory Supervisor Megan Sokolow. ey shared the history of the campusbuildings,whileofferingthekidsabriefexplanation of the work performed there by their parents now. edayconcludedwithapresentationfromDonMaryanski, senior public health sanitarian and watershed inspector in the County’s Health Department. Maryanski used a handson model to show how watersheds affect streams, lakes, and reservoirs. He demonstrated how rainwater flows through the region and the impact of pollution on the environment. He also explained the role the County plays in ensuring these natural resources remain clean and healthy for all residents.

“I love that this is done in the County. I like that the kids get a chance to see what happens at the County and they can kind of appreciate it a little bit more.” GRANT COX, INFORMATION AND TECHNOLOGY SERVICES NETWORK ADMINISTRATOR

GREAT WEEKEND GETAWAY IDEAS

Make it a water-based weekend. No matter where you live, a body of water is no doubt nearby. Though the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration indicates that roughly 40 percent of the United States population lives in a coastal region, oceans aren’t the only places to find some sand and enjoy a warm summer breeze.Lakes and rivers are great places to relax,and getaway seekers can utilize sites like Airbnb and Vrbo to find short-term waterfront rentals.

TIPS TO HELP MEN LOOK THEIR BEST: Protect your face. Skin dries with age, but men can take steps to protect their skin and keep it glowing as they grow older. When spending time outdoors, always wear sunscreen with a minimum SPF of 30 and, ideally, one that includes moisturizer as well. Exposure to the sun without adequate protection can lead to the formation of lines and wrinkles while increasing a man’s risk for skin cancer. Night creams that contain retinol can help smooth wrinkles and give skin a more even-toned look. Prescription night creams tend to be considerably more potent than over-the-counter alternatives.

GET A HANDLE ON WORK-RELATED STRESS

Work-related stress is an all too common problem in workplaces across the globe. According to the American Institute of Stress, 80 percent of workers report feeling stress on the job. Perhaps most troubling, nearly half of those people admit they need help in learning how to manage their stress.

The American Psychological Association notes that stressful work environments can contribute to a host of physical problems, including headache, sleep disturbances and short temper. Chronic stress can produce more serious consequences such as high blood pressure while also weakening sufferers’ immune systems. Stress at the workplace also can make it difficult to concentrate, which in turn can compromise workers’ abilities to perform at the peak of their abilities. That supports the notion that stress is a problem for both employees and employers. As a result, finding ways to reduce that stress should be a team effort.

Getting a handle on stress can be difficult. Since so many people trace their stress to the jobs they need to get by, they might think it’s impossible to address that stress without derailing their careers. But there ways for professionals to get a handle on their stress without negatively affecting their careers.

Schedules can help professionals in much the same way that grocery lists help consumers at the grocery store. When visiting a grocery store without a shopping list, shoppers are bound to forget items, necessitating follow-up visits to the store, and waste time wondering what they need. Without schedules in an office environment, workers may allow time to idle away because there are no deadlines motivating them to complete projects.
