We are blessed to live in beautiful northern California and get to enjoy sunny weather most of the year. As I have walked the path of becoming healthier, I have also tried to reduce my impact on the environment. One of new things I have started incorporating into my lifestyle is drying my clothes outside on a clothesline. We switched to a natural, unscented laundry detergent many years ago but were still using the dryer and dryer sheets.
As we age there are distinct changes in the composition of our intestinal microflora (bacteria that is normally present in our intestines). Overgrowth of organisms that are normally present in the GastroIntestinal (GI) tract can be a problem especially when combined with changes in diet and digestive physiology. As GI function declines, there is a decline in cellular immunity, because an important part of your immune function is lymph tissue that resides in the gut (gut associated lymphoid tissue – GALT).
On this last day of May 2011 – I thought we would pay tribute to May being Healthy Vision Month. As we age, our eyes undergo normal aging changes which cause a decrease in sharpness of vision and focusing power. When you start to notice that it is harder for you to read fine print – it is important that you schedule an appointment with an optometrist so that you can have your eyes properly examined. As we age the lens of the eye becomes less flexible and it becomes yellow and we have difficulty discerning colors.
