“In this present moment there is no fear. Fear is an indicator that your mind is either in the past or the future, making up stories about moments that have already happened or are yet to come. Be truly present today and stay attuned to the safety of the moment you are already in.” – Keith Macpherson

The Hearing Loss/Alzheimer’s Connection
Recent research suggests that improving hearing loss with hearing aids reduces the risk for Alzheimer’s disease and dementia. In 2011, a team of Johns Hopkins medical school researchers discovered a significant association between hearing loss and the risk of developing these unwanted cognitive conditions. The worse someone’s hearing gets, the greater their risk of developing Alzheimer’s or dementia. The researchers believe their findings could have substantial implications for individuals and public health because hearing loss is treatable with hearing instruments. These findings underscore how important regular hearing tests are as part of preventative health care.

Health Benefits of Gluten Free
A gluten-free diet excludes gluten, found in wheat, barley, and rye, and is crucial for those with celiac disease, gluten sensitivity, or wheat allergy. Avoiding wheat-based products like bread and pasta, opting for gluten-free grains like rice and quinoa can relieve symptoms and prevent complications, for some it aids in weight management and raises awareness of healthier food choices. Be cautious of cross-contamination and check labels for gluten-free certification. Focus on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and naturally gluten-free grains. Gluten-free alternatives are available for common foods.
