Mayo Clinic Tips for Nutrition Fitness and Reducing Food Waste

Posted on November 1, 2024 by autocreate740

As many of you are aware, I dedicate time to browsing the web and frequently come across news that I believe will be of use to you 🙂

This is why I’m presenting ideas from the Mayo Clinic by sharing the following link:

Certainly, in line with the current theme of my podcast, consider exploring the advantages of minimizing food waste by thinking about using these strategies:

When you have a moment, I encourage you to listen to my podcast:
Judith Guerra Wellness Connections Episode 70. It explores the importance of reducing food waste and provides resources for contributing to this cause. Additionally, you will find links in the details of the podcast for help with nutrition for older adults and individuals.

Open Heart Surgery Survivor

Posted on June 21, 2024 by autocreate740

News you can use 🙂

Surviving the impact of Open-Heart Surgery is an experience that I continue to celebrate. Today I celebrate 29 years since that surgery so many years ago. Why is it important to me? Well, if you click this link to the Women Heart, website, you will be taken to a website which provides information of the things women should be aware of because we are often mis-diagnosed. Young Women….you can be a part of a growing group of knowledgeable women who understand the signals women experience and provide valuable support. The Women Heart website was not available when I was confronted with a heart problem. The heart problem I was diagnosed with was rare (Atrial Myxoma). Luckily (and I do mean it was luck) – my general doctor believed I needed to see a cardiologist. She referred me to Dr. Emmanuel Troulakis. He took the time to listen and was expert at doing an ultra-sound, which indicated a problem with the blood flow to my heart. He found there was a problem!
However, “luck” also happens to the “well-prepared”. Nowadays, there are organizations that can help you to be well-informed and supported. See the details below.
