Dear Pharmacist

7 Cool Things to Do with Cucumbers Suzy Cohen

In the winter you can’t get me to buy these, but come summer, there’s always one or two in my fridge.

Cucumbers have a lot of health benefits. They are known botanically as Cucumis sativus, and they’re actually a fruit, not a vegetable.

They’re in the same family as melons, zucchini, and pumpkin.

Cucumbers have many active constituents, among them an anti-inflammatory flavonol called “fisetin” that supports brain health.

Cucumbers offer compounds that are antioxidants, so they help prevent systemic rusting.

Here are some fresh ideas: 1. Soothe itchy eyes. Cut two slices off and lay them upon your eyes. This feels especially comfy if

you have red, itchy eyes from whatever’s blooming.

You can put slices in a jar of water and infuse the water for an hour (refrigerate), and then make a compress out of the cucumber water. Squeeze it and lay that upon your eyes.

2. Juice them. Cucumbers contain lariciresinol, pinoresinol, and secoisolariciresinol, which are three important compounds when it comes

to reducing risk of reproductive cancers (ovarian, breast, uterine, prostate).

Secoisolariciresinol is also found in flax.

3. Heal burns.

Cut the slices lengthwise and apply to areas of sunburn, or use my compress idea from above.

4. Drink them. Cut cucumbers into half slices along with quarter slices of lemon and put into a beautiful glass decanter or carafe with some ice. Let it marinate for an hour and then drink all day.

Among the many health benefits, you may see a mild diuretic effect, which could help with blood pressure and weight loss.

5. Eat them. The profound medicinal benefits of cucumbers are not apparent to you. I bet you walk right past them in the produce section all the time. These guys can block COX-2 enzymes (similar to Celebrex, a popular medication), dampening down pain-causing cytokines.

While cukes are not as strong as

drugs, I’d still chop some into your salad along with fresh tomatoes and basil leaves. Finish with cilantro-lime vinaigrette. This salad adds fiber, which, in turn, helps you manage weight.

6. Treat acne with them.

Cucumbers have the ability to remove dirt, dead skin cells, bacteria, and leftover makeup residue. It naturally calms and cools a red or inflamed area.

Put a quarter of an unpeeled cucumber in your food grinder along with a tablespoon of witch hazel, two drops of tea tree oil, and five drops of lavender. Grind to a smooth consistency and apply as a “mask” or dab on an area.

7. Make a toner for your face.

Slice cucumbers into 2 cups pure distilled water. Strain out the cucumbers so you are left with cucumber water. Add 1 tablespoon of organic aloe vera leaf juice, 10 drops of essential oil of lavender, and five drops of jasmine.

For oily skin, add to this five drops helichrysum. If you have dry skin, use rose oil.

appraising knowledge, and since then he has worked for banks, estates, attorneys, and individuals.

There is no “typical” day for an appraiser, but the job entails variety and the occasional welcome surprise of discovering something he hasn’t encountered before. He keeps a list of current projects on his desk, including meetings with owners and investigations into their cars’ histories.

“I take pictures and lots of notes evaluating all aspects of the vehicle’s condition, including the paint and bodywork, the chrome, and the wheels, figuring out the car’s story. Later, I research the vehicle at the AACA library and write the appraisal,” he says.

Sando encourages anyone with an interest in antique vehicles to get involved with the AACA or come to the organization’s events and speak to likeminded people.

“Owning an antique car is not a requirement to belong to AACA, but participating with a vehicle surely enhances the experience,” he says.

In addition to his passion for antique autos, Sando keeps busy in his local community. He has served as a member of his township’s zoning board for more than 30 years; he is currently its chairman.

He is also a PIAA (Pennsylvania Interscholastic Athletic Association) official, and 2016 will mark his 38th year officiating high school football games in his local league.

Sando is a member of the PierceArrow Society, the Hupmobile Club, and the National Woodie Club (wooden-bodied station wagons are one of his favorite types of cars). He also enjoys spending time with his wife of 36 years, Beth, and their two children and four grandchildren.

As he approaches 70 and remains as busy as he is, Sando doesn’t see himself slowing down any time soon.

“Wow, where did the time go?

My plans for the future are to keep enjoying all of my activities for as long as I can.”

Thank you for your service.

You’ve said that many times recently, and meant every word to every soldier. Thank you for keeping us protected. Thank you for your bravery. Thank you for your sacrifice.

And once you’ve read Grunt: The Curious Science of Humans at War

by Mary Roach, you’ll also thank those who serve our servicemen and women.

Chickens are not ducks.

Nevertheless, chicken carcasses are what the U.S. military uses to test its equipment to ensure that it’s safe from “birdstrike,” which describes those instances when flying bird (duck, goose, even starling) meets flying machine.

Labor Day: A Short History Labor Day is more than one last chance to fire up the grill before the end of summer. It’s a yearly celebration of the American worker—a tribute to labor’s contribution to the economic and social well-being of the United States.

Some records show that Peter J. McGuire, general secretary of the Brotherhood of Carpenters and Joiners and a co-founder of the American Federation of Labor, was first to suggest a day to honor those “who from rude nature have delved and carved all the grandeur we behold.”

Other research seems to support the contention that machinist Matthew Maguire, later the secretary of Local 344 of the International Association of Machinists in Paterson, New Jersey, proposed the holiday in 1882 while serving as secretary of the Central Labor Union in New York.

However the idea originated, the first Labor Day holiday was celebrated on Tuesday, Sept. 5, 1882, in New York City, in accordance with the plans of the Central Labor Union. www.50plusLifePA.com

The first Monday in September was selected as the holiday in 1884. As labor organizations grew in size and power, so did the idea of Labor Day. In 1885 Labor Day was celebrated in many industrial centers of the country.

The first governmental recognition of the holiday came through municipal ordinances passed during 1885 and 1886. While the first state bill proposing the holiday was introduced into the New York legislature, Oregon passed the first law on Feb. 21, 1887.

Four more states—Colorado, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and New York—created the Labor Day holiday by legislative enactment that same year.

By the end of the decade, Connecticut, Nebraska, and Pennsylvania had followed suit.

By 1894, 23 other states had adopted the holiday in honor of workers, and on June 28 of that year, Congress passed an act making the first Monday in September of each year a legal holiday in the District of Columbia and the territories.

Lindsay Wagner’s One-(Bionic) Woman Show Nick Thomas

One of the hottest actresses to emerge from the 1970s has been appearing around the country in recent years presenting her stage show, More than a Bionic Woman: An Evening with Lindsay Wagner. “[I’ve been] sharing anecdotes and stories from behind the scenes in my career and showing clips and photos from my personal collection,” said Wagner from her California home.

“So it [is] a lot of fun and, hopefully, fond memories.”

Wagner began appearing in primetime network television series in the early 1970s, with her breakout film role coming in 1973’s The Paper Chase.

But it was her Emmy awardwinning role as TV’s favorite female semi-cyborg in The Bionic Woman that brought her great acclaim,

Jaime off, and the response from the audience was huge,” explained Wagner. “They were so appalled that the studio had killed off a character that had resonated so deeply with them and especially their children.

Even a children’s hospital in Boston wrote a letter of protest.

“So the studio had to bring me back for another two-parter to bring Jaime back to life, and the network decided to do the spin-off series.”

Wagner retired her bionic implants after three seasons and three reunion movies to tackle dozens of TV movies throughout the ’80s and ’90s. Those roles often focused on social issues such as domestic violence, adoption, mental health, terrorism, and capital punishment. please see BIONIC page 11

Simple Swaps for Serious Flavor From burgers to barbecued chicken, many of the best grilled foods are served with creamy condiments—often packing on calories and fat.

Next time you’re ready to grill, experiment with new ways to create simple but robust flavors using fewer ingredients through simple swaps.

Rice vinegars offer a healthy alternative to condiments like mayonnaise or a creamy dressing when grilling.

Keeping meals simple is easy with naturally gluten-free Nakano Rice Vinegar, which includes six or fewer simple ingredients with no artificial preservatives, flavors, or ingredients, and no high-fructose corn syrup or MSG.

Art & Antiques by Dr. Lori

Vintage Scandinavian Design Lori Verderame

Scandinavian design focuses on the lifestyle choices of those living in the lovely regions of northern Europe. In Norway, Denmark, Finland, and Sweden, furniture must be thrifty in cost, comfortable, and related to outdoor living.

The unique seasonal weather changes known to Scandinavia dictate much about how life goes on there. For instance, in the summer, there are long days of sunshine. In the winter, darkness fills days and nights.

Home decorating takes its cues from these seasonal characteristics.

In northern Europe, there is an interest in using animal skins for warmth along with small-scale fireplaces and wood-burning stoves.

Decorative patterns are produced via hand-woven textiles in the forms

of upholstered work, consider cushions, blankets new ways to use old materials, and throws, and and recycle, pillows. repair, and Scandinavian homes often restore before considering have windows replacing objects that reach from within their floor to ceiling, homes and office allowing light into spaces. the rooms. Some Scandinavian of the furniture is even painted interiors were Gustavian chairs like these yard-sale light colors, like finds are the typical whitewashed, most popular in the 1960s with white, and washed upholstered chairs used in many Scandinavian homes. the furniture in pastel colors to designs of Hans give the sense of light during the dark winter months.

Wegner, Alvar Aalto, and Eliel Saarinen, among others.

Scandinavians are style innovators like their Viking ancestors. They Ergonomically comfortable chairs, sofas, and stools are commonplace in are thrifty, forward thinking, and Scandinavian design in natural color smart. They are not afraid of hard

schemes like sky blue, beige, green, brown, white, etc.

Scandinavian design is rooted in its folk art and textile traditions, such as woven bunad textiles in felt and wool, embroidered floral designs and decorations such as the famous rosemaling, and woven and macramé works for tablecloths, curtains, and other window coverings.

When it comes to Scandinavian design, objects in the home focus on the outdoors and the comfort of those living indoors.

Privacy Precautions My one rule of privacy for all online social networking, not just Facebook, is The Front-Door Test: Do not put anything on a website that you would not feel comfortable having taped to the outside of your front door.

Simple. Easy to remember.

No confusing instructions.

Some people use Facebook and other social networking websites to take advantage of people.

The most important thing to do is to listen to that voice in your head that says, “This doesn’t seem right.”

I say, “Always go with your instincts!” If something seems hinky, it usually is. Don’t click on what you don’t understand or sounds too good to be true.

Facebook Scams A common Facebook scam is to impersonate someone who already has a profile on Facebook. Often, money is the big motivator. Once the imposter has lured in your existing friends, they plead a sob story and try to extort money.

But some of these imposters do it just because they can. So, besides the creep factor, it is inconvenient, but often harmless. Nonetheless, you want to be on the lookout.

If you receive a friend request from someone you’re already friends with on Facebook, that is the tipoff.

Do not accept the second request.

Instead, by private email, phone, or text, let your friend know about the

fake request.

Then they or you should notify Facebook. This is a common enough occurrence that Facebook has it in the Q&A and help sections.

Here’s Facebook’s response to: How do I report a fake account that’s pretending to be me?

Impostor accounts aren’t allowed on Facebook. If someone created an account pretending to be you: 1. Go to the impostor profile. If you can’t find it, try searching for the name used on the profile or asking your friends if they can send you a link to it.

2. Click the ellipsis (…) on the cover photo and select “report.”

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

Facebook will act promptly (it’s in their best interest), and the fake profile might disappear before you have a chance to ask, “What kind of creeps are out there, anyway?”

Don’t be lured in by ads that tout some insider way to see who is viewing your profile on Facebook, or invite you to view some ghastly, morbid photos, or offer the possibility of big prize money. Scam, scam, scam.

Be selective about what you click on and you’ll be fine. There’s so much to enjoy about Facebook. Don’t let these bad apples spoil the benefits.

Savvy Senior

Auto Insurance Discounts for Older Drivers Jim Miller

Dear Savvy Senior, I’ve read that many car insurance companies offer a variety of discounts to older drivers when they retire or reach a certain age. What can you tell me about this? – Discount Seeker

Dear Seeker, Most auto insurance companies offer policyholders a wide variety of discounts, many of which can benefit retirees.

Auto insurers love older drivers

because they’re experienced behind the wheel and they drive less than younger age groups, which makes them a lower risk for accidents and a safer bet for insurance companies.

While discounts will vary by

insurer, many of these benefits can reduce your overall premium by 15 to 20 percent or more, and you are usually allowed to combine discounts to increase your savings, though total discounts are often capped at around

25 percent.

To find out what discounts may be available to you, contact your auto insurer and inquire about these benefits and any others that may help you.

Age discount: Many auto insurance companies offer a general “senior” discount that will reduce your premium just because you’ve reached a specific age. The actual name and amount of the discount will vary by insurer.

Allstate, for example, provides a “senior adult discount” of up to 10 percent to drivers who are at least 55 years old and aren’t actively looking for full-time work. And Liberty Mutual offers a “newly retired discount” to drivers who reach that employment milestone, regardless of age.

Low mileage discount: Most insurers offer discounts to customers who drive limited miles each year, which is often beneficial to retirees who drive less because they don’t commute to work every day. The fewer miles you drive, the lower your odds of getting into an accident.

The parameters of low mileage differ by insurer, but generally about a 10 percent discount is available for driving fewer than 5,000 to 8,000 miles each year, although smaller discounts may also be available to seniors who drive more than this but fewer than 15,000 miles.

Driver’s education discount: Many states require insurance companies to offer “defensive-driving” discounts to drivers who take a refresher course to brush up on their safety skills. The discounts vary, usually ranging between 5 and 15 percent.

Driver safety courses are

inexpensive, usually costing around $20 to $30, and can often be taken in a classroom or online.

To locate a class, contact your local AAA (www.aaa.com), which operates a Driver Improvement Course for seniors, or AARP (www.aarp.org/ driversafety, (888) 227-7669), which offers the Smart Driver Course to members and nonmembers.

Club member discount: Insurers offer discounts to members of clubs and associations with which they have partnered.

These could include professional associations, workers’ unions, large employers, or membership organizations such as AAA, the National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association, the Seniors Coalition, AARP, etc.

You could even qualify for savings based on the college you attended or the fraternity or sorority you belonged to decades ago.

Safe driving discount: Many insurance providers now offer discounts based on how and when you use your car.

To do this, they would place a diagnostic device in your car that transmits wireless data on how you drive (including how fast you’re going and how hard you’re braking), when you drive, and how much you drive.

Drivers are rewarded for safe driving, for low mileage, and for not driving late at night.

In addition, many insurance providers offer discounts to drivers who do not have any violations or accidents for three or more years.

Jim Miller is a regular contributor to the NBC Today show and author of The Savvy Senior Book. www.savvysenior.org
