Alcohol consumption: drinking increases risk for AFib, according to the AHA. The organization defines binge drinking as five drinks in two hours for men and four drinks in two hours for women. If individuals want to consume alcohol, Johns Hopkins emphasizes the need for moderate consumption, which is defined as one drink or less per day for women or two drinks or fewer per day for men.

A Talking Cat?
DEAR PAW’S CORNER: Whenever I’m having a conversation with my friends or talking to my mom, our cat “Jasper” stands right in the middle of our group and meows. If we stop talking, he stops meowing. What’s going on? Is my cat trying to talk? -- Victoria L., Canton, Massachusetts
DEAR VICTORIA: Sort of! Although it’s probably because Jasper sees a bunch of humans gathered together, all of whom have thumbs and can therefore open a bag of treats for him.
Cats vocalize with humans more than they do with other cats. Much more. Researchers (and owners) have figured out that they meow at us a lot because it prompts us to give them food, treats and snuggles -- even though we have a harder time understanding cats’ meows than other animal noises. They’re very perceptive, these housecats, with not much to distract them from observing us all the time (especially since so many of us work from home these days).
They’ve figured out our daily schedule better than we have. I have a cat who hops on my lap and starts head-butting my smartphone exactly at bedtime. He gets his little snack, and I get eight proper hours of sleep. And if I get home late? Oh, the silent treatment I receive. It’s the complete opposite of meowing, and just as manipulative.
Like you, I’d like to think that Jasper is just trying to get in on the excited conversation going on all around him. That could be the case. It could also be Jasper’s realization that big gatherings of humans usually involve food ... and if he stays underfoot, some of that deliciousness will come his way.
A home buyer will pay interest no matter the mortgage type, but there are options to select a fixed or adjustable interest rate, or even interest-only mortgages.
According to Bankrate, with a fixed-rate mortgage, the interest rate remains the same throughout the life of the loan, meaning the payment for principal and interest will remain consistent. Additional charges that are wrapped into mortgage payments could change, however. Property taxes and homeowners’ insurance charges could increase, for example. Fixed rates tend to be lower when the term of the mortgage is shorter. So borrowers can opt for a 20-year mortgage over a 30-year to save some money on interest.
An adjustable-rate mortgage (ARM) will see the interest rate change during the repayment period. It may start with a low introductory rate for the first several years of the loan, but then can go up or down depending on market indexes and benchmarks. Many lenders put a cap on how high the interest rate can go, however.

HOW TO PLAN A FOOTBALL ROAD TRIP
Confirm you can get tickets. Apps and websites like SeatGeek, Stubhub and Ticketmaster ensure it’s possible to get tickets to any game on the schedule in a given season. However, fans should do a little research into ticket prices prior to booking any other components of the trip. Much has been made of consumer demand for live event experiences after restrictions related to the COVID-19 pandemic were lifted. For example, the entertainment company Live Nation reported a 32 percent increase in revenue during the third quarter of 2023. That heightened demand has driven up the cost to attend live events in many cities. Fans who want to take their fandom on the road this football season should visit team websites and secondary market sellers to confirm if ticket prices are within their budgets. If so, purchase tickets and then begin planning the rest of the trip.

HOW TO PLAN A BUSINESS DINNER
Businesses employ different strategies to engage their workers and clients. Business dinners can serve as a “get to know you” for new hires or provide an opportunity to entertain potential clients. Business dinners also present a memorable way for companies to celebrate milestones in the organization. According to a joint industry research study by Dinova, Inc,. and The BTN Group, business dining spending historically has represented 10 percent of overall travel and expenses buying, but business dining spending increased by 14 percent between 2023 and 2024.
Organizing a business dinner may seem like a complex undertaking. Although social in nature, business dinners are essentially an extension of the workday. Similar rules that govern employee interactions and decorum are best upheld at a business dinner. Planning a business dinner needn’t be a tall task. These pointers can help the process along.
· Clarify the purpose of the dinner. Understanding the scope of the dinner can help planners gear the meal toward that end goal. A dinner for wooing a client may look different from one designed as a networking opportunity.
· Select the venue. Certain factors can be considered when selecting a venue. Accessibility, atmosphere and location are notable variables that merit evaluation. Attendees may not want to travel far. Plus, choosing a place that facilitates conversation is essential, as yelling over loud music or rowdy guests can be distracting. Selecting a local venue is convenient because it does not require considerable travel from the office to the venue.
· Consider the menu carefully. Navigating food preferences and dietary restrictions requires recognition that a wide variety of offerings may be needed. Pick a restaurant that allows for flexibility for guests to choose what they like and can eat. Many restaurants now have allergy-friendly options or can offer substitutions.
· Determine the head count. Identifying the people who will be invited and confirming attendance means having an accurate head count for the venue. It can look tacky pulling up extra chairs to the table at the last minute. Similarly, a largely empty table can make the business dinner seem ill-planned.
· Visit the venue. The dinner planner may want to visit the venue in advance to determine if it is appropriate for the gathering. Ensure the restaurant is quiet enough and a setting that is appropriate to maintain proper business etiquette. Speak to a manager and arrange for any special details. Leave a credit card on file to facilitate payment at the end of the meal.
DAILY HABIT THAT CAN HELP MEN IMPROVE THEIR OVERALL HEALTH
Drink more water. Get up and walk around throughout the workday. Men who work in office settings or other environments that require them to sit for long periods of time should make a concerted effort to get up and move around during the workday. A 2016 study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity found that workers who avoided sitting for six uninterrupted hours reported feeling more energetic throughout the day than those who were not active. In addition, the study found that those who rose for hourly five-minute walks reported greater happiness, less fatigue and smaller cravings for food than on days when they took a single 30-minute walk.
STUDY TIP FOR A STRONG START IN SCHOOL
Devise a study plan. Setting goals and a plan of attack allows students to space out their studying over several days. This can reduce stress and make the task seem less cumbersome.
Eligard Injections Cause Man To Develop Breast Tissue
Q.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I have been treated for prostate cancer and stopped my semiannual Eligard injections three years ago. I’m 75 years old and about 5 feet, 9 inches tall. Before treatment, I weighed 227 pounds; I currently weigh 209 pounds. My testosterone level is 49.6 ng/dL. My breasts have become somewhat feminine.
My question is: Will they regain their normal appearance? I’m losing weight slowly, and I’m trying to build muscle with weights. -- Anon.
ANSWER: Gynecomastia is the growth of male breast tissue, specifically when not due to breast cancer. It can happen during puberty in healthy males, but it is a common side effect of androgen deprivation therapy for prostate cancer. Up to 75% of men treated with antiandrogen therapy like leuprolide (Lupron or Eligard) will develop breast tissue.
Itisn’tlikelythatthebreasttissuewillgoawayonitsown. For men who want treatment due to the appearance or tenderness of the breast tissue, there are radiation, medication and surgical treatments available. Radiation therapy is the most effective for men who develop breast tissue with androgen-depletion treatment.
Tamoxifen is the usual medical treatment, and you may ask the physician treating your prostate cancer about these choices. Men who can’t take or choose not to take either of these treatments can be referred for surgical treatment, which can be liposuction or a mastectomy.
Q.
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a 74-year-old active male currently taking a daily 81-mg aspirin due to a periodic heart arrythmia. I have elective sinus surgery scheduled, requiring that I be under a general anesthetic for 90 minutes and that I be off aspirin for the two weeks preceding the procedure.
A.
I’m beginning to have second thoughts about the surgery as I wonder if I’m risking a stroke. Would you please share your thoughts on this? Thank you. -- R.B. ANSWER: Aspirin is used in some people with atrial fibrillation (the likely heart arrythmia you would be put on aspirin for) when they are at a low risk for a stroke. There is a score called the CHA2DS2-VASc that is used to estimate risk. People at a higher risk are recommended anticoagulants such as apixaban (Eliquis). Since you are 74, you get at least one point for your age, and unless you have another risk factor that I don’t know about, you have an estimated risk of stroke without treatment of approximately 0.6% per year.
While it is true that being off aspirin for a period of time around a surgery increases your stroke risk, your risk is already so low that the absolute risk of being off aspirin for two weeks is quite small.You should always consider the risks of any surgery against the benefits, but the risk of stroke in your case is small compared to the risks anyone has with sinus surgery (such as bleeding or an infection).
I am a little surprised about it being two weeks; normally when a person comes off aspirin before surgery, it’s for five to seven days. Also, not all surgeons require aspirin to be stopped before sinus surgery.
Since your reason to be on aspirin is to prevent a stroke due to your arrythmia, and this risk appears to be very small, it may be that the surgeon determined the risk of stopping aspirin was so small. So, it wouldn’t be worth the possible increased risk of bleeding from the sinus surgery if you’re still taking aspirin.
If you haven’t talked to your regular doctor or cardiologist about this, I recommend doing so since I don’t have your full medical history.
