Climate change is now a couple of words most politicians sound at a drop of a hat. Avoiding any responsibility of preparedness, is "Climate change".

The expanded politics of the Covid-vaccines associated with the desire of some politicians to stay in the news as long as they can will keep the issue of Covid for as long as it can be milked out by both, the Media and the politicians.
The Democrats consider passing a bill is success. The real success is when the roads are fixed, the bridges were built and the highway are expanded. Let us look for the waste that is always associated with this bill. Just a thought.
Fat in the diet has long been linked to stroke risk, but new research suggests that it’s the type of fat, not the amount, that may be the more important factor.
The study found that eating more animal fat was linked to a higher risk of stroke, while getting more fat from vegetable sources was linked to a lower risk.
Stroke is the fifth-leading cause of death in the U.S., and nutritionists have long worked to understand how diet plays a role.
The study found that a higher intake of vegetable fats was linked to a lower risk of ischemic stroke, with those who ate the most vegetable and polyunsaturated fats (such as olive oil) 12 percent less likely to have ischemic strokes compared to those who ate the least. Eating less animal fats also appeared to have a positive impact on the risk for types of stroke.
Participants who ate the most animal fat, which included fat from red and processed meat but excluded dairy fat, were 16 percent more likely to have strokes than those who ate the least. Fat from dairy, on the other hand, wasn’t associated with stroke risk.
“This study fits with the prior nutritional science that shows that we should be eating primarily a plant-based diet.” Just a thought.
“The average American diet relies on animal
The inhabitants of this tiny Greek island live so long.
Almost every ancestor of Alekos Pylaras has lived past 100. His aunt Despoinou died at 125. “If you had come to Ikaria two days earlier, you would have met my other aunt, Xeni. She was 107.”
Forty miles off the European coast of Turkey, in Greece’s eastern Aegean Sea, there is an island named Ikaria where, if you are in your 30s, you’re still a child, and if you are in your 90s, even then you could have a long road ahead.
Living to 100 is commonplace on Ikaria, and one in three inhabitants lives past the age of 90. Because of this, the island is considered a world “blue-zone”—a designation for places of exceptional longevity, and one of only four across the globe. Just a "young' thought.
In the words of the Harvard University researcher, there is no specific time when we should shower, but for most people, several times a week is enough. In fact, he also assured that it is necessary to reduce showers to less than five minutes focused on the groin and armpits.
Of course, if the person is dirty or sweaty for other reasons, the ideal is to shower as soon as we feel that our body odor has soured a little.
However, when it comes to health concerns, it’s not at all clear that a daily shower accomplishes much. In fact, a daily shower may even be detrimental to your health,» the doctor wrote in his article.
Precisely, he assures that for the skin to be healthy, it needs to maintain a layer of fat and a balance of bacteria and microorganisms, which are lost when washing and scrubbing the body with hot water, as happens in all showers.
Just a "washable" thought.
