Tagged with: Aging, Sitting exercise, Walking for exercise Exercise is an effective way to combat the physical effects of aging and it is never too late to start. Being a senior is no reason to avoid exercise, says Wojtek Chodzko-Zajko, a professor of kinesiology at the University of Illinois. In fact, any physical activity such as walking, even if it requires walking sticks, will benefit health. It’s important to “choose an activity that you’re going to do,” whatever that is, the professor said. “It is actually less important what exactly you do than it is important not to sit down…
I’ve posted before about why we don’t use scented candles and what we use instead. One of my favorite alternatives is essential oil diffusers, and many people asked what type of diffuser I use and recommend. I’m not an aromatherapy expert, but I have tried many types of diffusers. I wanted to share the pros and cons of the ones we tried. This can help you find a high-quality aroma diffuser that is well suited for your own family. Not all diffusers are created equal and some work much better than others. I wish I had read a review like…

This article provides information on how our health can benefit from this exercise, which will hopefully encourage more people to start doing it. I am one of the many people who actually find it difficult to get inspired to exercise. I’ve started a fitness routine in recent years and not only have I enjoyed it (much to my surprise), but I’ve never felt…
PADUCAH — Many locals are probably enjoying the summer weather right now; But with allergy season still ongoing, pollen, ragweed and grass can make it difficult for allergy sufferers to enjoy the outdoors. That’s why a doctor from Baptist Health Paducah said there are some natural remedies people can try to make things better. Brother-sister duo Rachel and Elliott Straub decided to play pickleball at Noble Park in Paducah on Tuesday afternoon. They both love the outdoors. “We always played sports in high school. We even ran across the country in this park. So allergies, it was pretty bad back…
Growing up, pizza night was always a big hit in our house. I have since implemented it with my own kids and they are big pizza fans too. Instead of ordering expensive (and unhealthy!) takeaway meals or a frozen pizza from the supermarket, I opt for homemade. I’ve tried several versions over the years, and the latest is this chicken crust pizza. It’s a low carb pizza crust that’s a twist on my Meatza recipe! Pizza with chicken crust The kids and I love pizza crust made with ground beef, but this yummy version uses ground chicken instead. I also…
If you’re like many people, you wish you could lose a little weight, but you can’t wrap your mind around the fact that you need to change the way you eat. Congratulations, you’re normal. Voluntarily giving up fatty foods that were once a staple of your diet is an important decision that most people are unwilling or unable to make. Something you may not realize is that you don’t have to sacrifice good taste to the god of weight loss. Oatmeal is a delicious breakfast product. It is high in fiber, low in calories and very nutritious. You can add…

LAKE OF EGYPT, Ill. – People are still recovering from the tornado that hit the area on Memorial Day.

I’m not worried about a cellular connection as the connection there is quite good, but there will be no external power source. Is it reliable enough to continue to run on solar energy/batteries alone? Tunisia is very sunny overall, but the location I am considering is the northernmost part of the country (Bizerte), and it can get quite dark in winter with few monthly sunshine hours (it will be difficult to get the solar panel to supply power) I also want…
