You probably always heard that the average human body temperature is 98.6 F. But the reality is that a "normal" body temperature can fall within a wide range, from 97 F to 99 F. It’s usually lower in the morning and goes up during the day.

It peaks in the late afternoon or evening, sometimes by as much as 1 or 2 degrees.

If you’re healthy, you don’t need to take your temperature regularly. But you should check it more often if you feel sick or if you think you might have come into contact with an illness such as COVID-19. Nearly everyone who catches the new coronavirus has a fever or a temperature that’s higher than usual.

Most also have fatigue and a dry cough.

The 98.6 F standard dates to the mid-1800s. German doctor Carl Wunderlich measured the armpit temperatures of about 25,000 people and came up with an average of 98.6 F. Newer research suggests that the number has since gone down. In a recent review, scientists looked at temperature records from three periods between 1860 and 2017. The average oral

temperature slowly fell by about 1 degree to 97.5 F. A person’s age, gender, or weight didn’t make a difference, nor did the time of day.

Doctors have several ideas about why body temperatures are falling. They include: Lower metabolic rates. Your body uses energy so all your systems can work the way they should. This creates heat.

But people may have lower metabolic rates now because we weigh more than people did centuries ago. The less heat your body makes, the lower your temperature. Lower rates of infection. In the 19th century, infections such as tuberculosis, syphilis, and longterm gum disease were more common.

As a result, many people had higher body temperatures. Better thermometers. We may have more accurate thermometers than people did a century ago.

Despite the new research, doctors don’t consider you to have a fever until your temperature is at or above 100.4 F. But you can be sick if it’s lower than that. Consult your primary doctor if you have any questions concerning this information.

A THANK YOU LETTER TO FAMILY CAREGIVERS, HOSPICE PROFESSIONALS

By Anchorwave In today’s entry I’d like to take a few minutes to recognize that November is both National Hospice & Palliative Care Month as well as National Family Caregivers Month. These two categories are actually closely intertwined, because hospice and palliative care patients and professionals rely on the attention, dedication, and sacrifice of family caregivers.

There are roughly 65.7 million caregivers in the U.S., caring for someone who is ill, disabled, or aged, according to the Family Caregiver Alliance.

Every day we meet families, terminally ill patients and their loved ones, in need. Our nurses, certified nursing assistants, social workers, and chaplains provide support to our patients and their primary caregivers. But an integral part of what makes hospice care such a beneficial service is the help of the primary caregiver(s).

It’s a common misconception that hospice care is around-the-clock care. In routine home hospice care, the hospice interdisciplinary team works with the patient and caregiver(s) to develop a plan of care, one that meets the patient’s goals. The team then educates the patient and the patient’s caregiver(s) on the illness, caregiving, and the end-of-life journey. The hospice team makes regular visits to the patient, based on

the care plan and the patient’s needs. An after-hours team is also available to support the patient and caregiver(s) if questions or a crisis situation occurs. Through this team approach, terminally ill patients can keep the option to spend their final months in the comfort of their own home. (Many hospices, including Casa de la Luz, have an inpatient unit option if symptoms cannot be managed at home).

I’d also like to recognize my fellow hospice professionals. I admire hospice workers for their ability to sit with families during such a difficult time, and I think we need to commend hospice workers for being able to openly face and discuss death and dying, a topic that most people try to keep an arm’s length away. I can’t think of anything more comforting at the end of life than the compassionate, expert care my colleagues provide.

Do you know a family caregiver or a hospice professional? Take a moment this month and let them know you recognize their efforts and their work. Today’s a good day to ask how they’re doing.

Thanks to all of the family caregivers and the hospice care workers out there. I admire you.

We have everything to make you Stand out! We’re sure you’ll be the Only one with our outfits on…come on and stop because we have the clothes, Shoes, hats, clergy and HOTTEST Jewelry in town.

THE WORD

D Whenever Thanksgiving rolls around, I know that it's not always easy to be thankful for what you have. As an entrepreneur, I have to make payroll, meet with prospects, find the time to work on my next book, and try to fit in some time for my wife, daughter, and pets. Like many of us, I run the risk of getting too wrapped up in what I don't yet have that I might not focus on what I do have. You may know people like me, or even struggle with thankfulness yourself.

With that in mind, I try to step back and look at my favorite quotes about thankfulness to inspire me: "Feeling gratitude and not expressing it is like wrapping a present and not giving it." -William Arthur Ward "Be thankful for what you have; you'll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don't have, you will never, ever have enough." -Oprah Winfrey "No one who achieves success does so without acknowledging the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude." -Alfred North Whitehead "We would worry less if we praised more. Thanksgiving is the enemy of discontent and dissatisfaction." -H.A. Ironside "The way to develop the best that is in a person is by appreciation and encouragement." -Charles Schwab "No duty is more urgent than that of returning thanks".--Unknown "Let us be grateful to people who make us happy; they are the charming gardeners who make our souls blossom."--Marcel Proust "Silent gratitude isn't very much use to anyone." -Gertrude Stein "If the only prayer you ever say in your entire life is thank you, it will be enough." -Meister Eckhart "Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty." -Doris Day "The world has enough beautiful mountains and meadows, spectacular skies and serene lakes. It has enough lush forests, flowered fields, and sandy beaches. It has plenty of stars and the promise of a new sunrise and sunset every day. What the world needs more of is people to appreciate and enjoy it." -Michael Josephson "Gratitude is a currency that we can mint for ourselves, and spend without fear of bankruptcy." -Fred De Witt Van Amburgh "I may not be where I want to be but I'm thankful for not being where I used to be." -Habeeb Akande "Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend." -Melody Beattie "As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them."

-John F. Kennedy "Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation." -Brian Tracy "Gratitude is the most exquisite form of courtesy." -Jacques Maritain "At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us." -Albert Schweitzer "When a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity." -Elie Wiesel "Acknowledging the good that you already have in your life is the foundation for all abundance." -Eckhart Tolle "If a fellow isn't thankful for what he's got, he isn't likely to be thankful for what he's going to get." -Frank A. Clark "If you want to turn your life around, try thankfulness. It will change your life mightily." -Gerald Good "Gratitude is a duty which ought to be paid, but which none have a right to expect." -Jean-Jacques Rousseau "Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses." -Alphonse Karr "Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it." -Ralph Marston "Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." -Voltaire "When it comes to life the critical thing is whether you take things for granted or take them with gratitude." -Gilbert K. Chesterton "It's a sign of mediocrity when you demonstrate gratitude with moderation." -Roberto Benigni "'Thank you' is the best prayer that anyone could say. I say that one a lot. Thank you expresses extreme gratitude, humility, understanding." -Alice Walker "Be grateful for what you have and stop complaining -- it bores everybody else, does you no good, and doesn't solve any problems." -Zig Ziglar "He is a wise man who does not grieve for the things which he has not, but rejoices for those which he has." -Epictetus

While every state has laws dictating the use of medical marijuana, more than two thirds of U.S. states and the District of Columbia have actually legalized it for medical treatments and more are considering bills to do the same. Yet while many people are using marijuana, the FDA has only approved it for treatment of two rare and severe forms of epilepsy, Dravet syndrome and Lennox-Gastaut syndrome.

Why hasn't more research been done? One reason is that the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) considers marijuana a Schedule I drug, the same as heroin, LSD, and ecstasy, and likely to be abused and lacking in medical value.

Because of that, researchers need a special license to study it, says Marcel Bonn-Miller, PhD, a substance abuse specialist at the University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine.

That may not change anytime soon. The DEA considered reclassifying marijuana as a Schedule II drug like Ritalin or oxycodone, but decided to keep it as a Schedule I drug.

The agency did, however, agree to support additional research on marijuana and make the process easier for researchers. “Research is critically needed, because we have to be able to advise patients and doctors on the safe and effective use of cannabis," Bonn-Miller says and he shared some background on medical marijuana's uses and potential side effects.

One may ask? What is medical marijuana? Well, medical marijuana uses the marijuana plant or chemicals in it to treat diseases or conditions. It's basically the same product as recreational marijuana, but it's taken for medical purposes.

The marijuana plant contains more than 100 different chemicals called cannabinoids. Each one has a different effect on the body. Delta-9-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) are the main chemicals used in medicine. THC also produces the "high" people feel when they smoke marijuana or eat foods containing it.

More and more states are legalizing marijuana to treat pain and illness. Find out what conditions it’s used for and the Researchers are studying whether medical marijuana can help treat a number of conditions including: Alzheimer's disease, Appetite loss, Cancer, Crohn's disease, Diseases effecting the immune system like HIV/AIDS or Multiple Sclerosis (MS), Eating disorders such as 5

anorexia, Epilepsy.

Marijuana may not be as addictive as other drugs, including cocaine and heroin. But it’s possible to develop an addiction with regular or heavy use, and this can have immense negative impacts on the brain and body.

Cannabis use disorder takes place in 2 stages: dependence followed by addiction.

Cannabis dependence refers to an actual reliance on the drug. Individuals in this stage require weed to function properly and will experience uncomfortable withdrawal symptoms if they don’t use it soon.

Addiction, on the other hand, is chronic and causes uncontrollable and intense cravings. It is also characterized by compulsive consumption of the drug despite the imminent dangers that it has on the user’s life.

The exact statistics of these disorders aren’t clear yet. But the National Institutes on Drug Abuse (NIDA) states that approximately 30% of weed users are very likely to develop a use disorder. Of these, it adds that 9% are at the risk of developing an addiction.

Although the risk of developing a weed addiction is significantly much lower compared to other drugs, the effects are not any less dangerous. Marijuana addiction can lead to: Increased risk of heart attack; Decreased energy; Higher risk of lung cancer; Predisposition to mental illnesses and disorders; Anxiety and depression.

The good news is that one can quit marijuana use even after dependence and addiction. Unfortunately, the process of detoxing isn’t a piece of cake. Quitting heavy use of marijuana may cause a notoriously volatile reaction that causes immense discomforts and even pain, psychologically and physically. Some symptoms of marijuana withdrawal symptom include headaches, shakiness, weight loss, decreased appetite, depression, anxiety, and difficulty sleeping. If you or someone you know experiences mental health issues, it is important to seek help from a qualified professional.

u MAKE YOUR RESERVATIONS EARLY TO INSURE YOUR SPACE WILL BE AVAILABLE Why is camping good for you? The health benefits of camping are plentiful for both adults and young people. When you’re spending time at home in your usual routine, you may not realize just how much you’re missing away from nature. Camping has a great number of benefits for everyone old and young that you and your family can enjoy while spending time in the great outdoors: It’s stress reduction leave the overbooked scheduling at home. When you’re camping, there’s no place to be at a certain time, and there’s nothing interrupting you or competing for your attention. The natural outcome of this type of setting is stress reduction and relaxation like you can’t find anywhere else.

You may not realize how scarce fresh air is in your day-to-day life. When you go camping, you get the wondrous scents of the outdoors, as well as the smell of dinner cooking over an open fire.

One of the best and most important aspects of camping is how it helps you build and strengthen relationships. When you go camping with friends or family, you get a chance to talk and visit without distraction, even late into the night. Time spent camping is physical time. You set up a tent, gather firewood, go for a hike. At home, we often lead sedentary lives that do not promote physical fitness. When you’re camping, you can’t help but engage in physical activity and get your heart rate up.

When was the last time you slept late without an alarm clock to wake you up?

When you’re camping, the only alarm clocks you have are the sun and the chirping of birds. Waking up with nature rather than an alarm clock is an experience everyone should have regularly. Camping is a great chance for everyone to unplug and get away from their screens. In the great outdoors, you don’t find computers, tablets or televisions and there’s so much else to do that does not require electronics.

Food just tastes better when prepared in the outdoors. There’s something about cooking food over a campfire, a campsite grill or in a Deluxe Cabin kitchen that just can’t be replicated when you’re eating at home. Plus, nothing beats s’mores made over

an open fire. Dream big and plan a great menu before you head out on your next camping trip.

When you’re camping, you get a chance to get in touch with nature, encounter wildlife and see the stars away from the bright lights of the big city. There’s nothing quite like it. Make sure you and your family have the chance to connect with nature when you explore the many benefits of camping.

You can’t help but develop new skills while camping. Everyone on the trip will contribute and it’s a great chance to learn new things. You may learn how to set up tents, tie knots, start fires, cook a new meal and more. These skills are important to have, and yet we don’t often get a chance to develop them during the course of our regular busy schedules. While the benefits of camping for adults also apply to young people, there are a number of benefits specific to younger campers.

For kids, time spent camping is time spent learning, which is one of the reasons scouting programs are so valuable. They facilitate camping experiences that are A built around kids learning new things, including fishing, cooking, hiking, tying knots, fire-starting, safety, first aid and much more. It’s important for children to gradually become more independent and confident in their own capabilities. One of the benefits of camping for youth is that it allows them to learn independence in a safe and controlled environment. Children become more confident as they learn new things and have first-time experiences.

Last but not limited camping is beneficial for children and their families because it can help strengthen bonds between family members — brothers and sisters, parents and children and the list goes on. You will all return home feeling much stronger as a group.

Farting is a natural process and often occurs without help, but sometimes a buildup of gas in the body can cause pain and bloating. In these cases, it may help to use one or more poses or other techniques to help the body fart. Certain foods or eating too quickly can be the cause of gas, but tightness in the abdominal muscles may also be partially to blame.

Some yoga poses and other relaxing positions may help release gas that has built up or relieve cramps and bloating caused by the buildup. Most of these yoga poses, also called asanas, are best done alone and in a comfortable setting. They can be practiced anywhere if needed, but relaxation is key to being able to pass gas, so it is essential for a person to feel comfortable in their surroundings. Some poses may help a person pass gas.

In addition to these positions, rubbing the abdomen in a clockwise motion may help get rid of trapped gas and reduce cramps and bloating.

Carbonated beverages such as sparkling water may help to release gas that has built up.

Some foods and drinks may also help a person pass gas. While these may not be a good idea if a person already has excessive bloating and pain, they may help someone release gas more easily.

Here are some foods and drinks that may help a person fart including but not limited to carbonated beverages; sparkling mineral water; chewing gum; dairy products; fatty or fried foods; fiber-rich fruits; some artificial sweeteners such as sorbitol and xylitol.

Farting is the way the body releases swallowed air and other trapped gasses.

The positions listed above may help relieve gas temporarily, but many people also look for ways to reduce the need to pass gas. While it may be impossible to make farts disappear completely, there are some ways to reduce the number of times a person has 7

to pass gas each day.

Many foods increase the amount of gas that results from the digestion of food.

Beans are well-known culprits, but these pulses contain many nutrients so should still be included in a healthful diet. Soaking beans before cooking them may help reduce flatulence in some people, while others may want to limit the quantity of beans they eat. Cutting down on other foods that cause gas may help as well. This includes foods high in sulfur or certain fermentable carbs and fibers, such as: cauliflower, cabbage, broccoli, kale, Brussels sprouts, artichokes, asparagus, apples, pears, peaches, beer and carbonated drinks.

Dairy foods like cheese and ice cream, may also cause gas, especially for people who are sensitive to lactose. Another important tip is to chew all food slowly and with a closed mouth. A lot of trapped gas is swallowed air, which is more likely to happen if a person eats quickly or with their mouth open.

While it is not always best to hold in a fart, sometimes it is necessary. Whether in a crowded room or on a first date, there are plenty of reasons to hold in potentially embarrassing gas until it can be let out discreetly.

Clenching the anus may help in the short term, and changing positions until the gas shifts in the body may also help.

The best solution is for a person to take a moment to relieve the gas in a bathroom or away from other people. This way it will not build up and lead to uncomfortable bloating or pain. The takeaway is farting may be socially unacceptable in some places, but it is a natural bodily function. It may help to hold a fart in until someone is alone, but it is healthy to pass the gas when the right time comes.

For people having difficulty farting or dealing with gas pains, using certain positions, chewing gum, or drinking carbonated water may help release built-up gas and reduce bloating.

When it comes to going to the dentist and taking care of our teeth properly, we often don’t think about the anatomy of the teeth we have. Other than having our wisdom teeth removed in our teen years or early 20s, or when they begin to cause us pain, do we know how many teeth we have?

There are three primary layers of each tooth. The visible outer layer of each tooth is called enamel. This is the white, bright layer. Enamel is a hard surface that protects all inner layers from the damage of decay and daily use. The enamel makes your teeth healthy, as it is the strongest tissue in the body. Dentin is the second layer, or middle layer, and makes up most of each tooth. It is most similar to bone tissue and is composed of tiny tubes that connect it to the pulp of the tooth.

The pulp is the third layer of each tooth, and it is comprised of blood and nerves. When you have tooth pain, this layer is why it feels so severe. The pulp is the innermost layer of each layer, and it is known as the “life-source” of the tooth. The crown is above the gum line, and the part of the tooth that lies below is the root. The root attaches to your jawbone.

After teething is complete, children have 20 teeth. There are ten teeth on the bottom and ten on the top. As baby teeth begin to fall out, this is the best time for children to learn and cement healthy, lifelong oral hygiene habits so they can take care of the adult teeth that they will have after all of their teeth grow in. Without wisdom teeth, adults have 32 teeth. There are rare cases in which some adults do not lose baby teeth. In some of these cases, you can have these teeth pulled and replaced with implants or other tooth replacement solutions, or they can be left as they are.

Adults have both primary and secondary teeth on the top and bottom. On the top, you will see four incisors, two canines, and these “sharper” teeth are primarily for chewing food. We also have four molars on the upper half of our mouth.

Like the canines and incisors, they are used for eating, and their broad surfaces are best for grinding down food so it can be swallowed safely.

Our bottom teeth are much the same, including canines, molars, and incisors, although some in higher numbers.

Found on the bottom are six molars, three on each side of our mouth, two canines, one on each side, and four incisors located at the front. One type of tooth only found on the bottom of our mouth is the premolar, a tooth located between the cuspid and molar. They are physically similar to these two teeth and physically located between them. Premolars are also known as bicuspids, and they, like our canines and other “sharp” teeth, are used to tear and cut food that we eat.

Although we have 32 permanent teeth as adults, we have our four wisdom teeth removed to avoid overcrowding. If an adult does not have their wisdom teeth removed, they run the risk of increased tooth decay, misaligned teeth, impacted wisdom teeth, and an increased risk of periodontal disease.

It can be pretty simple to take care of your adult teeth, although we often need reminders in our busy lives. Despite knowing how many permanent teeth adults have, we don’t always take care of them as we should. Remember to always brush your teeth gently twice a day for two minutes using a fluoride tooth place. Brushing will help to clean food and bacteria from your teeth, mouth, and tongue, and fight the icky morning breath that no one likes to have. The acid in soft drinks, in diet soft drinks, is truly what breaks away at the strength of our adult teeth and its enamel, creates cavities and stains, and erodes teeth from the inside. It is best to limit soft drinks for your health.

Don’t forget to visit your dentist regularly and always be honest about any dental concerns you have.
