FEBRUARY IS AMERICAN HEART MONTH

Posted on by autocreate740

As an Open Heart Surgery survivor of 30 years, I have experienced firsthand the profound impact that heart health has on overall well-being. Heart Wellness is something I am very close to, not just because of my journey, but also due to the alarming statistics surrounding heart disease, particularly among women. It turns out that women are some of the people most significantly impacted by heart disease, yet often misdiagnosed or overlooked until it’s too late—sometimes from an early age! It’s critical to recognize that heart health is a lifelong commitment, and preventative care cannot start early enough. This February, as the American Heart Association celebrates awareness and knowledge about this challenging condition, I urge everyone to join in the efforts to educate and empower others. Please share this vital information with your communities, families, and friends, as raising awareness can save lives and foster a healthier future for all.

BIPOC for the Aging Population

Always “News You Can Use” 🙂

Mental Health America focuses on Black, Indigenous People of Color for the month of July, highlighting the unique challenges and experiences of these communities. They provide comprehensive toolkits and various support information on their website, which I have shared extensively on my podcast to raise awareness and foster understanding.

In addition, Mental Health America website offers insightful information regarding the impact and disparities for BIPOC communities.

The Our Bodies Ourselves website provides videos and programs featuring elderly individuals who candidly discuss the challenges they have faced throughout their lives, shedding light on the importance of resilience and community support. You can listen and learn from their stories while reading that information at the link below, which I believe will enrich your understanding of mental health across generations and encourage empathy toward those navigating their own mental health journeys.

All the best for your well-being 🙂

Summer Skincare Podcast

Posted on by autocreate740

Always, “News You Can Use” 🙂

Although all year long we should use sunscreen, it seems to be particularly crucial during the hotter weather months when the sun’s rays are more intense. I found a podcast with Dr. Shari Lipner, a dermatologist, who shares valuable insights and expert advice on the importance of skin protection. Sometimes, it’s easier to listen to advice regarding sunscreen tips rather than reading all the variables, especially when she discusses when you should avoid the sun (between 10-2pm). She explains chemical and mineral sunscreens, and how to choose the right SPF for your unique skin type. She emphasizes not only the need for daily application but also the importance of reapplying throughout the day, particularly after swimming or sweating. Take care and stay beautiful with the right protection for your skin and health, as sunscreen is not just a summer necessity but an essential part of your daily skincare routine year-round.
