Prevent DVT DVT occurs when a blood clot forms in a deep vein, usually in the lower limbs. It affects up to two million Americans annually. If the clot

breaks loose, it can travel to the lungs, causing a pulmonary embolism.

Approximately 300,000 people die each year from PE, the majority

of which resulted from a DVT. The best way to reduce your risk of DVT is to talk to your doctor about the risk factors, especially if you

have cancer or certain heart or respiratory diseases, or prolonged immobility.

Lent is designed to help Christians prepare for Easter through prayer, repentance of sins, almsgiving, denying the ego, and putting and end to sinful practices.

Fasting is a component of Lent, as is abstinence from certain behaviors.

In fact, in some Western countries, Catholics have been encouraged to adopt forms of abstinence that do not involve food and drink during Lent. All actions serve as forms of self-denial to mirror the sacrifice Jesus Christ made for his people.

Abstaining from alcohol is not mandatory during Lent. That might be traced to ancient times, when wine and other forms of alcohol were safer to drink than pathogen-filled water sources. But many people now choose to give up alcohol for Lent.

Today, fasting is primarily reserved for Ash Wednesday and Fridays during Lent, including Good Friday. Adherents may opt to fully fast, but most only eschew meat and poultry as a nod to self-denial, opting for seafood and vegetarian fare instead.

While much focus is placed on what is denied during Lent, it can be an ideal time to reflect on what is gained by living a life in which God is first and foremost. Spending more time in prayer and away from trivial distractions can be a way to live a more faithful life during Lent and beyond.

In addition, aspiring to be more Christ-like during Lent can make this special season even more powerful. During Lent, Christians can make a concerted effort to help the poor, work with a charity or volunteer at their church.

Lent is a solemn time, but one that can bolster one’s faith.

The thyroid gland plays an essential role in the human body. According to the online healthcare publishing company Medicine.net, the thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland in the front of the neck that produces the hormones that regulate metabolism.

When the thyroid gland’s ability to do its job is compromised, the effects can be serious and lead to a host of symptoms that don’t go away.

Thyroid conditions vary, and as a result, that can produce their own distinct symptoms. The Harvard Medical School notes that the thyroid can be overactive (hyperthyroidism) or underactive (hypothyroidism). An overactive thyroid will produce too much hormones, while an underactive thyroid won’t produce enough. Symptoms of both hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can overlap, but each condition has its

own unique symptoms as well.

What are the symptoms of hyperthyroidism?

• Fatigue • Fast heartbeat • Trouble concentrating • Increased appetite • Sweating • Nervousness, restlessness • Unintentional weight loss What are the symptoms of hypothyroidism?

• Fatigue • Increased sensitivity to cold • Muscle weakness • Brittle nails and hair • Hoarse voice • Unintentional weight gain The online medical resource Healthline notes that most cases of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism cannot be prevented. For example, hyperthyroidism is often caused by Graves’ disease,

an immune system disorder that’s most common among women. Some peoples’ thyroids have become overactive because they consumed too many foods that contained iodine, such as table salt, fish and seaweed. However, Healthline notes that such instances are rare.

While people may not be able to prevent thyroid conditions from developing, they can keep a watchful eye out for any of the aforementioned symptoms of overactive or underactive thyroids. Any such symptoms should be reported to a physician immediately.

Medicine.net notes that, in most cases, thyroid disorders can be managed with treatment and are not life-threatening. However, the outlook for people with thyroid conditions is always better when symptoms are reported early.

Amazing Benefits To Seniors Having Pets

Proudly Delivering Strong Results Since 1953!

Long Island Media Group

Pets bring much joy to the lives they touch. So it should come as no surprise that the 2019-2020 National Pet Owners Survey, which was conducted by the American Pet Products Association, found that about 85 million families in the United States own a pet. In Canada, 7.5 million households are home to companion animals, states the PetBacker blog.

Pets offer companionship and unconditional love. While they are fitting for any family, seniors may find that having a pet is especially beneficial.

The organization A Place for Mom, which helps match families with senior living residences, says pets provide a comfort system that produces measurable health results. Caring for pets and being around them can produce a chemical chain reaction in the brain that may help to lower stress hormones while also increasing production of the feelgood hormone serotonin.

This is not the only health benefit pets may provide. A recent study from the Mayo Clinic, which looked at 1,800 people between the ages of 25 and 64 who had healthy hearts, found that almost half owned a dog. Having a dog was likely to spur heart-healthy behaviors, like exercising with the pet, eating well and having ideal blood sugar levels.

Pets also provide emotional support and companionship that can help seniors — including those who may be divorced or widowed — feel more secure and happy.

The National Poll on Healthy Aging found that, among respondents who had pets, 88 percent said their pets helped them enjoy life, and 86 percent said their pets made them feel loved.

Seniors considering getting a pet can explore the many benefits to doing so.

• Reduce pain: A 2012 study published in Pain Magazine found therapy dogs provided “significant reduction in pain and emotional distress for chronic pain patients.”

• Feeling of purpose: Caring for an animal not only stimulates physical activity, but it also can give seniors a reason to get up and go, which equates to a feeling of purpose.

• Altered focus: Having a pet can help seniors focus on something other than physical or mental health issues and preoccupations about loss or aging, according to New York-based psychologist Penny B. Donnenfeld.

• Increased physical activity: Pets require care, and that interaction can get seniors moving more than if they didn’t have a pet.

• Improved health: Ongoing research from Harvard Medical School has found dog owners have lower blood pressure, healthier cholesterol levels and lower risk of heart disease than those who don’t own a dog.

• Stick to routine: Caring for pets helps seniors maintain a routine. Having structure after retirement can be important to ward off risk of depression. Staying on top of feeding, grooming and other pet needs also can help prevent cognitive decline.

Pets bring many benefits to their owners’ lives, and they may be the perfect remedy for seniors looking for a friend and purpose.

your best. Talk to your eye care professional about how often you should have one.

Live a healthy lifestyle.

Eating healthy foods, maintaining a healthy weight, managing chronic conditions, and not smoking can lower your risk of eye disease.

Know your family history. Talk to your family members about their eye health history.

It’s important to know if anyone has been diagnosed with an eye disease, since many are hereditary.

Use protective eyewear.

Prevent eye injuries when doing chores around the house, playing sports, or working on the job. Wear safety glasses, goggles, safety shields, or eye guards that are made of polycarbonate. Talk to your eye care provider about the appropriate type of protective eyewear for your needs.

Wear sunglasses.

Wearing sunglasses outside protects your eyes from the sun’s ultraviolet rays. Prolonged exposure to sunlight can increase your risk for getting an eye disease like cataract or age-related macular degeneration, which is a progressive eye disease leading to blindness.

When purchasing sunglasses, look for those that block out 99 to 100 percent of both UVA and UVB radiation. These steps can help keep your eyes healthy and prevent vision loss and blindness from eye disease.

YOUNG PHILANTHROPIST HONORED - Supervisor Angie Carpenter and members of the Islip Town Board, honored 8-year-old Ava McKiernan of East Islip at the February Town Board meeting for her Wreath’s of Joy wreath sale this past holiday season. The wreaths were sold to benefit St. Jude’s Children Hospital. Ava was inspired to create wreaths to sell within her community after seeing the St. Jude’s commercials on TV. Ava made and sold a total of 41 wreaths. Together with donations, she raised $800 for the sick children at St. Jude’s. “Ava is truly an inspiration, and an example of what it means to be a role model,” said Supervisor Angie Carpenter. Ava said she plans to continue to donate to St. Jude’s through her wreath sale each holiday season.

(NAPSI)—Older homes often have a unique charm—but few have insulation that meets modern energy efficiency standards. This can result in air leaks, wasted energy and high utility bills. One way to fix this is with spray polyurethane foam (SPF) insulation.

It can be seamlessly added in and around walls, attics and roofs. By sealing cracks, seams and joints,

some SPF products provide a waterproof membrane that acts as a vapor and air barrier, which in addition to insulating improves energy efficiency.

A properly insulated home can reduce heating and cooling needs by 30 percent, according to the Department of Energy.

Many homeowners don’t realize that the attic is one of the main places where heat and cold air can escape. As the Department of Energy

explains, holes in a typical attic account for 15 percent of a home’s energy loss.

Cracks and gaps let air out and rainwater in. SPF can fill in around the cracks to create an effective barrier.

You can learn more at www.whysprayfoam.org.

Savings vary. Find out why in the seller’s fact sheet on R-values. Higher R-values mean greater insulating power.

Caffeine Content In Popular Coffees Many people insist they cannot make it through a morning without their favorite cup of coffee. For some, the taste of the coffee might be a secondary consideration. In such instances, caffeine, and the jolt it provides on sleepy, earling mornings, is the true allure of that morning cup of joe.

Consuming caffeine in moderation should not have an adverse effect on many people’s overall health.

However, it’s important to learn just how much caffeine is in your morning coffee. That’s because the side effects of consuming too much caffeine can be severe. According to the U.S. National Library of Medicine, consuming more than 400 milligrams of coffee can be harmful. The potential side effects of overconsumption of caffeine include: • restlessness and shakiness

• insomnia Place Roast: 16 oz., 310 • headaches mg • dizziness • Panera Coffee, Light • rapid or abnormal heart Roast: 16 oz., 307 mg rhythm • Starbucks Nitro Cold • dehydration Brew: 16 oz., 280 mg • anxiety • Starbucks Plus 2X • dependency Caffeine Keurig K-Cup: Many working profess1 K-Cup, 260 mg ionals pick up a cup of coffee • Dunkin’ Donuts on their way into work each Cappuccino: 20 oz., 252 morning, which can make mg it difficult to monitor their • Starbucks Caffe Americaffeine intake.

Phone scammers have become more prolific and sophisticated in recent years. In many cases, the scammers can modify their caller ID to read “PSEG Long Island.” More than 6,600 calls were reported to PSEG Long

Island in 2019, up from 4,088 scam calls reported in 2018.

While recent weeks have seen an increase in the number of scam calls, PSEG Long Island’s awareness campaigns appear to have made

Yale Bound Central Islip Senior Makes History Yu “Kevin” Zhu, a senior at Central Islip High School, was honored at the February Islip Town Board meeting, for becoming the first student in the district’s history to enter the Regeneron Science Talent Search Competition and earn a spot in the semi-finals.

The Regeneron Talent Search Competition is an international competition that awards students for their exceptional innovative thinking and research skills, and their

commitment to academics.

“Kevin was one of nearly 2,000 students around the world who entered the competition, and one of 300 students to make it to the semi-finals,” said Islip Supervisor Angie Carpenter. “Kevin has a bright future, and we congratulate him for making history in the district,” she added Kevin’s project, “The effects of simulated microgravity on the biofilm production and susceptibility

of Acinetobacter Tat mutants,” earned him and the Central Islip High School $2,000 in grant money.

Kevin has been awarded early admission to Yale University. Joining the ceremony were Dr. Howard Koenig, Superintendent, Central Islip Schools; Sharon Dungee, Assistant Superintendent, Curriculum; Roann Roderick, Science Teacher, Central Islip.

You’re given a phone number to call back that, when called, may sound similar to PSEG Long Island’s automated call system.

PSEG Long Island will never ask for a pre-paid card, wire transfer or bitcoin. Scammers ask for them because they are untraceable.

What to do Hang up. Do not provide any personal or account information.

Call PSEG Long Island at 1-800-490-0025. Never call any number the scammer gives you.

What PSEG Long Island will and won’t discuss over the phone A genuine PSEG Long Island representative will ask to speak to the Customer of Record.

If that person is available, the representative will explain why they are calling and provide the account name, address and current balance.

If the Customer of Record is not available, the PSEG Long Island representative will not discuss the account at all and ask that a message be left for the Customer of Record to call 1-800-4900025.

PSEG Long Island also cautions customers to beware of scam emails that appear to be bills from the utility. These emails request personal information that could lead to identity theft.

customers more alert. In 2015, 8.2% of the total number of reported calls resulted in customers losing their money. Since 2018, that number is down to 5%.

“Phone scammers want their targets to panic so they don’t think clearly. If you receive a call about a past-due bill, don’t panic.

Look for signs that it may not be legitimate, such as a request for a specific payment type or an imminent threat of disconnection,” said Rick Walden, vice president of customer operations, PSEG Long Island. “Our representatives will never demand immediate payment and, though we offer a variety of payment options, they do not include prepaid debit cards or bitcoin. Additionally, if a customer is scheduled for disconnection due to nonpayment, they will receive written notice on their bill at least 10 days in advance.”

What to look out for You receive a call from what looks like PSEG Long Island on your caller ID. The caller threatens to shut off your service and demands an immediate payment by pre-paid card, wire transfer or bitcoin.

The caller informs you that you require a new meter and demands a deposit before the installation can occur.

326158N030420

With a recent uptick in the number of reported phone scam attempts, PSEG Long Island again urges residents and business owners to make themselves aware of the tactics scammers use to try to steal their money.

Osteoporosis ( N A P S ) — Osteoporosis—bone loss—is a serious condition that half of all women and many men can expect to develop at some time in their lives.

Fortunately, it can be detected and treated. In fact, women who have a bone density scan have 35 percent fewer hip fractures than those who do not. The problem is only 23 percent of eligible

patients are scanned. The experts at the National Osteoporosis Foundation (NOF) say that if you’re a woman over 65 or a man over 70 or if you’re over 50, postmenopausal and have risk factors for osteoporosis, you should probably talk to your doctor or other health care provider about getting a bone density test, especially if you’ve never had one. Many doctors

are learning more about this testing device at www. hologic.com.

Auto News (NAPSA)-It’s estimated that one in three recalled cars never get fixed. The good news is that used-car buyers can check for open recalls at recall.carfax.com.

Be Safe When Lightning Strikes A change in seasons often brings about a change in the weather as well. Seasons marked by increased humidity in the air and warmer temperatures often usher in afternoon or evening thunderstorms.

With those thunderstorms come potentially dangerous lightning.

The National Weather Service says lightning strikes the United States roughly 25 million times a year, killing an average of 47 people each year. Worldwide, lighting kills as many as 2,000 people every year, states National Geographic. Even though the odds of being struck by lightning are low, certain factors put people at greater risk. Florida is considered the “lightning capital” of the United States, so residents of the Sunshine State should always exercise extreme caution upon seeing lightning. Residents of Alabama, Colorado, North

Carolina, and Texas also must be extra cautious when lightning strikes.

To stay safe, remember the mantra, “When thunder roars, go indoors.” In addition, the following precautionary measures can help people stay safe when lightning strikes.

•Postpone outdoor activities if the weather forecast calls for thunder-storms. You also can use the 30-30 rule.

After you see lightning, start counting to 30. If you hear thunder before you reach 30, go indoors. Suspend activities for at least 30 minutes after the last clap of thunder, offers the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

•Avoid open areas outside.

Do not be the tallest object in a field or area. Also, stay away from isolated tall trees, utility poles and towers.

•If no shelter is available, crouch low with as little

of your body touching the ground as possible.

•Lightning can travel through indoor plumbing, so avoid using water during a thunderstorm. Similarly, lightning can travel through electrical systems, like phones, radios and television reception systems.

•A car can be a safe place to stay if no other non-concrete shelter is available.

•Recognize that all thunderstorms produce lightning.

Just because you can’t see lightning doesn’t mean it’s not there.

•Get out of pools or other bodies of water. Water is an excellent conductor of lightning.

•The human body does not store electricity, says the Insurance Information Institute. Therefore, if a person is struck, you can safely offer first aid.

Lightning is no joke and never something to take lightly.
