Loneliness..

 

Loneliness is a distressing, subjective feeling of disconnection or lack of meaningful social companionship, identified as a global public health epidemic. It poses significant physical and mental health risks, including increased risks of heart disease, depression, dementia, and premature death, with a danger comparable to smoking 15 cigarettes daily. 

•  Feeling left out, misunderstood, isolated, or lacking companionship.
•  Increased social media usage as a distraction, poor sleep quality, loss of interest in routines (e.g., cooking, self-care), and increased restlessness.
•   Negative self-talk, persistent low mood, or feelings of hopelessness.

• Health Impacts

  • Physical: Increased susceptibility to diseases like type 2 diabetes and stroke, as well as a weakened immune system.
  • Mental: Associated with anxiety, depression, dementia, and higher rates of suicidality. 
  • Left untended, chronic loneliness is a significant public health issue linked to: 
  • Mental Health: Increased risk of depression, anxiety, and suicidal ideation.  
  • Physical Health: Higher rates of cardiovascular disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes, and weakened immune systems.  
  • Brain Health: Accelerated cognitive decline and a nearly doubled risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease.

#MonthlyPicks | What Does an Egyptian Immigrant Love about 

Suad Khalil grew up along the Nile River in Asyut, Egypt, but she’s been happily ensconced in Kew Gardens for several decades. The retiree keeps busy by leading exercise classes at The Church-in-the-Gardens and the Kew Gardens Community Center, where she’s also a champion ping pong player.

  نشأت السيدة سعاد حزقيال بسطوروس على ضفاف نهر النيل في أسيوط  بصعيد مصر، غير أنها استقرت بسعادة في منطقة Kew Gardens "كيو غاردنز" منذ عدة عقود.
 وتشغل هذه السيدة  وقتها بالإشراف على فصول للتمارين الرياضية في كنيسة "Church-in-the-Gardens" وفي مركز Kew Gardens Community Center for mature age  "كيو غاردنز" المجتمعي، حيث تُعد أيضاً لاعبةً بارعةً وبطلةً في رياضة تنس الطاولة (البينغ بونغ).

Poor/Rich..

“A poor man is not the one without a cent. A poor man is the one without a dream.”

The quote explains that true poverty is not defined by a lack of money, but by a lack of ambition, dreams, or purpose. It highlights that financial poverty is temporary, but a mindset without hope or vision prevents progress, making a person poor regardless of their wealth. 

• A person with no money can still be rich in spirit, ambition, and happiness, while someone with money but no goals is impoverished.

•  A dream provides direction, innovation, and motivation to change circumstances. Without a vision, a person is stuck.

•  It suggests that the difference between the rich and poor is not always capital, but the determination to create, act, and plan.
