Gardening Tips
Though peaceful, gardening can be tough on your body. Start with light exercise to warm up, and stretch before and after to prevent strain. Use a wheelbarrow to move tools and supplies, and be mindful of posture—avoid twisting, bend your knees when lifting, and hold items close to your body. When weeding or planting, kneel on pads instead of bending from the waist. Choose sharp, ergonomic tools to reduce effort. Change tasks often to use different muscle groups and avoid repetitive stress. Take short breaks to stretch and rest. With care, gardening can stay safe, enjoyable, and pain-free.
Eye Health Month
May is Eye Health Month, a time to focus on the importance of protecting our vision and raising awareness about eye care. Our eyes are essential for daily life, yet many people overlook regular checkups and preventive care. This month highlights the need for early detection of conditions like glaucoma, cataracts, macular degeneration, and ocular risks associated with other health concerns. Simple steps like wearing sunglasses, eating eye-healthy foods, taking safety precautions and scheduling annual eye exams can preserve vision for a lifetime. Whether you have perfect sight or wear glasses, Eye Health Month is a reminder to care for your eyes—they’re the windows to the world and deserve attention.

Mother’s Day After Loss
Mother’s Day can bring up difficult emotions, especially if your mom has passed away. It may remind you of a cherished relationship that you can no longer celebrate in the same way. However, amidst the sadness, Mother’s Day can also offer an opportunity to look back on fond memories. As much as you may be hurting, try not to hide out and ignore the holiday. Instead, find a way to honor her memory, whether it’s continuing a tradition you shared, writing a letter to her, or gathering with others who grieve her loss. If you’re struggling with grief, reaching out to a professional can provide valuable support and guidance.

Nutrition for Eye Health
As we age, we are often at a higher risk for vision problems. While some age-related vision changes can be inevitable, others may be prevented or delayed by eating a nutritious diet. Foods that may help protect eye health as we age include: 1) Berries, currants, and grapes – contain anthocyanins, a powerful antioxidant. 2) Orange and red fruits and veggies – contain beta-carotene. 3) Fatty fish, nuts/seeds and plant oils – contain omega-3 fatty acids. 4) Citrus fruits, strawberries and red peppers – contain vitamin C. 5) Leafy greens, squash, eggs, kiwi and grapes – contain the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin.
