Natural Cough Suppressants to Relieve Your Misery
Wintertime is one of my favorite times of the year. Ahh … snowy days, crackling fires, fluffy sweaters … Cough! Cough! Haaaaack! With all there is to enjoy during this season, the winter months are commonly known as “cold and flu” season or “sniff and sneeze” season because of the nasty little viruses that come with it. Coughing is the body’s natural way of clearing out the air passages in our lungs. Did you know that a bad cough can clock speeds up to 60 mph? We’re all going to have to run a little faster to get away from the germs! I have many natural options for you today. These will help tame your cough: 1. Honey with Coffee – Honey has been widely used to treat coughs for years and years. Swallowing a spoonful or two calms the throat and has been shown to be just as effective as an over-thecounter cough suppressant ingredient, dextrometh–orphan (or “DM”), according to the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, 2010. In the Primary Care Respiratory Journal, researchers evaluated drinking honey with coffee every eight hours and found it to be more effective than steroids! 2. Ginger – Ginger has been used medicinally for thousands of years to support almost every condition, including asthma, migraines, constipation, and bronchitis. It is a superior antioxidant and can be cut or crushed into small pieces
and added to 5 cups of water with some lemon and honey. Boil the mixture until half of the tea remains, and then sip or slurp (what I do) the tea. Do this every two to three hours for cough relief. You can also put 1 drop of essential oil in hot water and do a steam inhalation. 3. Bromelain – This is a natural enzyme that fights inflammation and infections. High amounts of bromelain are found in pineapples. Bromelain has been found to help reduce the airway inflammation in lungs, which could ease a cough. That’s according to Alternative Therapies in Health & Medicine, 2012. I’d suggest supplementation; bromelain capsules are sold at health food stores. 4. Afrin or Similar Products – These stop postnasal drip in about 10 minutes, and that can “shut you up” very quickly if your cough is triggered by a drip. I have also used Flunada, which is a natural cough/cold reliever. 5. Vodka or Brandy – This is not your excuse to get sloshed, but many seniors out there know that a shot or even just a teaspoonful of one of these drinks can soothe a cough within minutes, especially if you follow it with a teaspoonful of honey. This information is not intended to diagnose, prevent, or treat your disease. For more information about the author, visit SuzyCohen.com

Art & Antiques by Dr. Lori
Overlooked but Valuable Antiques Lori Verderame
Ever wonder what valuable antiques are hiding in your house? There are many antiques, works of art, and collectibles that have significant value that many people want you to just toss out with the trash or put out on your front lawn at a lowmarket-priced yard sale. I evaluate quality antiques all the time, and I know value when I see it. At more than 150 public and corporate events every year, I tell people what their antique is and what it is really worth. Here are my top five overlooked valuable objects—and some surprises—that you should cherish and that are hiding right under your nose:
1. Jewelry. Hold onto Grandma’s old brooch, earrings, or rings. Those pieces of jewelry featuring precious metals, faceted or cabochon gemstones, pearls, etc., can have big value on the antiques and collectibles market. Look for the authentic marks on gold, like “14K and 18K,” and the embossed marks on silver, like “sterling” or “925.” Photo credit: Staff of www.DrLoriV.com Remember that even Kenneth Jay Lane original costume jewelry pieces designer costume jewelry by Trifari, Kenneth worth $500.
Jay Lane, Renoir and Matisse, Miriam Haskell, and others are trendy and valuable, dating back to the 1940s to the 1980s. 2. Paintings. Some of the most commonly overlooked objects in our homes are works of art, such as oiland-acrylic paintings on canvas depicting landscapes, still lifes, portraits, and famous or historic places. These paintings, in good condition, can
represent a windfall once they are properly appraised and authenticated. Remember, do not have your paintings cleaned before you have them appraised. 3. Sculptures. Do you have an old bust hanging around the house? The most valuable sculptures are those made of good-quality materials like cast metal, constructed metal, or carved wood. Look for three-dimensional sculptures depicting famous or wellknown people, literary figures, and the like. Many interior designers are bringing these accessories back into please see ANTIQUES page 11

50plus LIFE t
By Lori M. Myers Back in the 1960s, the Beatles stepped onto our shores and thus began the British musical invasion of America. Other groups followed, such as the Rolling Stones, the Kinks, and the Animals. But while the early melodic tones of John, Paul, George, and Ringo were considered nonthreatening to those concerned moms and dads back then, Animals lead vocalist Eric Burdon projected a very different image. In hits such as “House of the Rising Sun,” “We Gotta Get Out of This Place,” “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood,” “It’s My Life,” and others, Burdon’s voice had power and soul with an undercurrent of grittiness, even a bit of danger. His penchant was more rhythm and blues than rock ’n’ roll, and America was the perfect place for him to be. “The highlight for me of those early years was getting out of England and being able to shout out the music that I love in the land where the blues were born,” he says from his current home in Ojai, California, a community he describes as “quiet” and “artistic.” Burdon’s residence is surrounded by trees and flowers, he adds, with a jukebox filled with his favorite records and shelves loaded with books and films. But the comfort zone Burdon now enjoys doesn’t mean he has abandoned music. On the contrary, he still performs to crowds who recall their past boomer years as well as to youngsters who’ve recently discovered this one-of-a-kind talent that Rolling Stone magazine ranked 57th on their list of 100 Greatest Voices of All Time.
They began performing as the Kansas City 5, 6 & 7 and eventually formed their own band, the Pagan Jazzmen, which became, simply, the Pagans. In 1962, they named themselves the Animals after a local street gang leader called Animal Hogg. The Animals, originally composed of Burdon, Steel, Hilton Valentine on guitar, Chas Photo credit: Marianna Burdon Chandler on bass, and Alan Price on keyboards, recorded Burdon’s 2013 solo their signature tune “House of album, ‘Til Your River Runs Dry, was released the Rising Sun” in 1964, which was released that summer in the by ABKCO Records. United Kingdom and the United States. While some think the song “I earn my living as a traveling originated with the group, it is, blues musician,” Burdon says. in fact, a traditional folk song “I think the fans expect to hear of uncertain authorship. Many familiar songs, and I don’t mind notable musicians covered the giving them what they want. On song prior to the Animals’ version, the other hand, I always like to including Woody Guthrie, Glenn experiment with those songs and Yarbrough, Pete Seeger, Joan add new ones into the set. That keeps it interesting for everyone, I Baez, Nina Simone, and Bob Dylan. think.” Burdon first heard “House of Burdon immersed himself the Rising Sun” in the folk clubs in American blues and jazz around Newcastle, and the song while growing up in Newcastle, always intrigued him. England, but had no burning “Then, when I heard Dylan’s desire to be a singer. Nevertheless, he can’t remember first record, there it was,” he recalls. “When the Animals went a time when he didn’t love music. on tour in the United Kingdom, It was in the folk clubs in his hometown and then the Newcastle opening for Chuck Berry, I remembered the song. I wanted City Hall where he caught some great blues musicians visiting from something that would really stand apart, not just from Chuck Berry’s the United States. material, but from our own usual “That’s when I first heard set list of rhythm and blues songs. Muddy Waters (an American “On our day off, we took the blues musician often cited as train into London with all of our the “father of modern Chicago gear, went into the studio, and blues”),” Burdon recalls. “It was recorded it in one take. The rest is jazz and rhythm and blues on history.” the jukeboxes at Spanish City (a Indeed.

Songs of All Time and is also one of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s 500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll. In 1999, it received a Grammy Hall of Fame Award. But Burdon didn’t rest on his laurels. The Animals recorded other well-known hits, disbanded in 1966, and thereafter went through several incarnations as other musicians took the place of those who left. Burdon went solo in between the changes, and then took a respite from the music industry. He made fortunes and lost them, transformed his music style, and took up other interests. In 1969, Burdon decided to pursue acting and was attending the Lee Strasberg Actors Studio in Los Angeles when he was approached by record producers Jerry Goldstein and Steve Gold. “They told me I was wasting my time studying acting,” Burdon says. “We began to search for a suitable band for me when we discovered one called Nightshift in Long Beach.
It was a really big band, too big for taking on the road, so we had to trim it down—and that became the band War.” Burdon and War began playing live shows throughout Southern California and soon recorded their debut album Eric Burdon Declares “War,” which included the album’s best-known track, “Spill the Wine.” Along with still calling California home, Burdon has put a new band together and is having a great time working up new material and new approaches, he says. He’s also working on a book, a memoir, not necessarily about the making of the music but more to do with the people he’s met along the way. “Awards have never been my thing,” he says. “Not my reason for doing what I do. I’ve always enjoyed introducing my audience to the work of my heroes. I suppose I’m most proud of the fact that I’ve kept a career going for over 50 years now doing what I love.”
New Year Traditions from Around the World The baby and the old man have been symbols of the new and old year since the time of the ancient Greeks. Here are a few more symbols and traditions of celebrating the New Year across the globe: In Spain and Portugal, celebrants gather with 12 grapes in their hands. As the clock strikes midnight announcing the New Year, a grape is eaten for each strike of the clock.
Many Europeans eat cabbage or www.50plusLifePA.com
other greens to ensure prosperity for the coming year. In Asia, people eat dumplings, noodles, and rice cakes whose names and appearances symbolize long life, happiness, wealth, and good fortune.
2017
In Greece, a special New Year’s bread called vasilopita is baked with a lucky coin or charm hidden inside. The bread is served at midnight, and whoever gets the charm will have good luck all year.
Neapolitans throw pots and pans—and sometimes furniture—out their windows into the streets to celebrate.
Puerto Rican children throw pails of water out windows to rid their houses of evil spirits. The Swiss let a drop of cream hit the floor on New Year’s Day. Romanians wish their farm animals New Year’s wishes, and then listen to see if their animals talk back.

Your grandmother’s jewelry will be yours someday. You’ve known that since you were small and were caught playing with them. Someday, you were told, you’d be the proud owner of a necklace, pins, rings, and other pretties bequeathed. But in the new memoir They Left Us Everything by Plum Johnson, some things are simply not treasured. “Nineteen years, one month, and 26 days …” That was exactly how long Plum Johnson had been taking care of her elderly parents when it finally “brought me to my knees.” At 93, her mum was forgetful and needy, and the daily trip alone was daunting: Johnson lived 45 minutes away from the family home—too close for her, too far for Mum.

There were so many questions— even more, after Johnson’s mum died. The answers, Johnson hoped, might lie somewhere in the 23-room mess, the cleanup for which there was the gift of time. Johnson, the only sibling with few obligations, moved back to her childhood home and started sorting. Tucked away amidst junk were old love letters and ancient magazines, expired food, “pocket litter,” and receipts from 1953. Clothes jammed the closets; her brothers claimed paintings and other small memorabilia. And there, in the house of her childhood, Johnson learned that inheritances aren’t always found in a box … You got your grandma’s jewelry. Your mother’s favorite sweater is now yours.

And They Left Us Everything will give you goosebumps. It’s the rare baby boomer, I think, who won’t see herself inside author Plum Johnson’s story. First of all, it’s the quintessential mother-daughterstrife story, complete with old criticisms that don’t make sense and new awakenings that come too late. It’s also about that parenting-ourparents thing that so many boomers do now, and what makes that bearable is that Johnson is able to say what we’re thinking: It’s hard, irritating,
funny, rewarding, and we can’t stop aching from it. This book will touch a nerve like no other, especially if you’re a boomer with an elderly parent in need of care. Bring tissues, and bring your heart. They Left Us Everything is a jewel.

The Green Mountain Gardener
Why Houseplants Drop Leaves Dr. Leonard Perry
Houseplants drop leaves for many reasons, but most are related to improper care or poor growing conditions. Often just giving plants the correct light and temperature, or controlling pests, is all that is needed to prevent future leaf drop. Either too much or too little watering may cause leaf drop. A common problem is that when you see leaves droop or even fall off, you may be tempted to think the plant is thirsty and needs more water. This could lead to overwatering and even more leaves dropping. Make sure when watering, especially in northern climates in winter, to use lukewarm water. Icy cold water can chill the soil and injure roots of tropical plants, leading to root rots, leaves dropping, and perhaps even dead plants. Extremely low humidity will cause sensitive plants, such as gardenia, to drop leaves, although most common houseplants will not show leaf drop in response to low humidity only. www.50plusLifePA.com
Fertility, or rather lack of sufficient nutrients, can lead to leaf drop. With this, usually you will notice leaves lighter in color first, so you have a chance to correct this before leaves totally turn yellow and drop. Use a houseplant fertilizer, according to label directions, particularly while plants are growing or flowering. Plants in pots that are too small may drop leaves. Why? There may not be enough root room to support all the leaves the plant tries to form, so the oldest leaves drop off. Because the space for the roots is inadequate, the plant may not be able to absorb enough water and nutrients. Some leaf drop occurs when plants are subjected to a big change in environment. Such changes occur when plants grown outside for the summer are brought inside for the winter. Greenhouse-grown plants may drop leaves if placed in dimly lit house conditions, when they’ve been grown please see HOUSEPLANTS page 11

Volunteers Needed for Tax-Aide Program AARP Foundation is looking to expand its team of volunteers for the upcoming tax season. Tax-Aide is an AARP Foundation program that offers free tax filing help for those who need it most, especially adults 50 and older, during the tax season. Many older, lowerincome taxpayers miss out on the credits and deductions they’ve earned because they can’t afford to pay for professional tax preparation. AARP Foundation Tax-Aide volunteers receive training and continued support. There are a variety of roles for individuals at every level of experience. Volunteer tax preparers complete tax-preparation training and IRS www.50plusLifePA.com

HOUSEPLANTS from page 7 in high light. Some plants just may require higher light to grow and keep all their leaves. Leaf drop brought on by a change in environment should be temporary and non-life threatening; new leaves forming will be adapted to the new site. Chilling is one cause of leaf drop related to environment. Tropical plants are sensitive to low, but above freezing, temperatures. Plants on windowsills may be exposed to chilling temperatures. Hot or cold drafts may be a problem for some plants. The poinsettia is a prime example of a plant that drops leaves due to exposure to cold drafts of air. Insects and diseases can cause leaf drop but are not as common as the previously listed causes. Recently I had a variegated English ivy that was losing leaves. On closer inspection I found leaves infested with spider mites. Washing plants
well with mildly soapy water is a good start, and often all that is needed, for pest control. Some leaf drop on houseplants is normal. Older plants should be expected to drop a leaf or two occasionally. This is particularly the case with plants that grow upright, like umbrella plant or cane plant, losing lower leaves as newer ones form on the top. The only solutions for this are to stake plants and live with this habit, to propagate new plants by air layering the canes, or to give away the plant and get a new, more compact one. If you’re not sure of the correct culture and conditions for your houseplants, check any directions that came with them, look online or in books, or ask your local fullservice garden center.
4. Furniture. Modern furniture is making a big splash in the marketplace now. Art Deco, MidCentury Modern, Art Moderne, and vintage pieces from the 1920s to the 1980s are all the rage. Some specialty pieces from the 18th and 19th centuries are also valuable. I have heard many people talk about “brown furniture” as being worthless, when that simply is not true. Some dealers and auctioneers don’t want to be bothered moving large pieces of vintage, mahogany furniture and are telling folks it is worthless. The oddity is that I have seen many millennials seeking out such pieces of furniture, which remind them of Grandma’s house, when decorating new homes. Durable, good-looking, and strong pieces of furniture made of hard woods dating from the early 1900s are finding their place in trendy, www.50plusLifePA.com

Automatic Medicare Advantage Enrollment Causes Confusion
Dear Savvy Senior, I’ ll be 65 in a few months and I recently pre-enrolled in original Medicare. But last week, I received a member card in the mail for a Medicare Advantage plan that I did not enroll in. What’s going on? Medicare is so confusing with all the different choices, and now it seems like I’m getting automatically enrolled in a plan I didn’t even choose. Is this a scam? – New to Medicare Dear New, It’s not a scam, but it is a growing problem the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services needs to resolve. Here’s what you should know. Automatic Enrollment? When Americans first become eligible for Medicare—typically at age 65—they can choose to enroll either in original Medicare or they can opt for a Medicare Advantage plan, which is offered by private insurance companies. But some people, like yourself, are being enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan without your knowledge. Here’s how it’s happening. Before becoming eligible for Medicare, many people are covered by a commercial or a Medicaid healthcare plan run by a private health insurance company. These
insurers often operate Medicare Advantage plans too. Under a little-known rule authorized by the federal government, some insurers can shift their beneficiaries who are turning 65 to their own Medicare Advantage plan. It’s a process called “seamless conversion enrollment,” and all it requires is that the insurance company send a letter to the beneficiary explaining the new coverage, which takes effect unless the member opts out within 60 days. The idea is to preserve continuity for those who want to stay with the same company. But some seniors are unaware that they’ve been signed up, in part due to the flood of mail they get around their 65th birthday from insurers marketing their Medicare plans. This makes it easy to miss a notice of seamless conversion or fail to understand the letter. It can also have serious financial

consequences. Medicare Advantage plans tend to be HMOs and PPOs with limited provider networks. If you unknowingly get enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan and receive treatment from a doctor who’s not in the network, your medical bills may go uncovered. Consumer advocate groups like the Medicare Rights Center are pushing for a change in the rules. They want it set up so beneficiaries must respond to the letter/invitation before they’re enrolled, versus having to opt out of automatic enrollment. In the meantime, here are some things you can do to protect yourself from unrequested Medicare enrollment. Self-Protection Everyone approaching age 65 should carefully read all mail received from your current health insurance provider. If you come across anything suggesting that the insurance
company intends to enroll you in a Medicare Advantage plan that you do not wish to have, contact the insurer and decline to be enrolled. Also, to be safe, about a month prior to Medicare eligibility, call your current insurer to confirm that you are not being automatically enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan. If you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan against your wishes, call Medicare at (800) 633-4227. People in this situation have been allowed to convert to traditional Medicare without having to wait until the next open-enrollment period or to enroll in a different Medicare Advantage plan that they choose. It even might be possible to be retroactively enrolled in Medicare so that out-of-network expenses already incurred are covered. If you need help with your Medicare enrollment, contact your State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP), which provides free one-on-one Medicare counseling in person or over the phone. For contact information, visit the SHIP National Technical Assistance Center’s website (www.shiptacenter. org) or call the eldercare locator at (800) 677-1116.

Ease the Pain of Nighttime Leg Cramps Sudden, uncontrollable cramping of the calf muscle at night is a painful condition that afflicts about 70 percent of adults over the age of 50. These nocturnal leg cramps are often sharp enough to interrupt a deep sleep and can last anywhere from a few seconds to 10 minutes. What causes the condition? Researchers don’t have a definitive answer, but dehydration, prolonged sitting, and overexertion of the muscles all appear to contribute to the problem.
Doctors can prescribe medication to relieve acute cramping that regularly interferes with sleep, but if you suffer from just occasional symptoms, try the following: Drink water. Try a few ounces of prevention: Drink
six to eight glasses of water during the day. Water is the best choice for keeping the body well hydrated. Stay loose. Don’t wrap blankets tightly around your body, especially your feet. Don’t point your toes downward while you sleep—this can also
affect circulation. Stretch. Throughout the day, periodically stretch your calf muscles. React the right way. If you wake up with a cramp in the middle of the night, flex your foot so that your toes point upward. You can also stand up, placing all your weight on the affected leg, and bend at the knee to stretch out the muscle. Applying a heating pad or ice pack can also relieve the pain.
Exercise is Good for Your Memory A good memory is useful for creativity; remembering something you’ve just learned helps you make connections and see possibilities. A new study reported on the Science Daily website suggests that one way to boost memory and retention is exercise. In the study, conducted by the Donders Institute at the Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands, 72 subjects learned a series of picture/location associations.
They were then randomly separated into three groups—one worked out on exercise bikes immediately after the session, another exercised four hours later, and the third group
didn’t exercise at all. Two days later, all the participants were tested on what they’d learned while undergoing an MRI. The subjects who had exercised four hours after the session retained their knowledge better than those in
the two other groups, the researchers found. The brain images indicated that delayed exercise appeared to be associated with activity in the hippocampus—where learning and memory take place—whenever a participant answers a question correctly. The experiment suggests that exercise isn’t just good for your health—it strengthens your memory as well.
