The Disease That Ticks You Off. Content Warning.
Spring has finally arrived. Nature is blooming. The skies are brightening up. Animals are waking up from hibernation, and this includes bugs such as ticks. Ticks carry bacteria called Borrelia Burgdorferi and Borrelia Mayonii, both are known to cause Lyme Disease. Each year in the US, approximately 476,000 people are diagnosed with this disease. It is spread by the bites of one particular breed of tick called the Black-Legged Tick. Black-Legged Ticks are primarily found in the Eastern parts of the country, particularly in the mixed forests of the Northeast region. Here is what you need to know to protect yourself and your family from Lyme Disease.

A Couple Living into Their Seventies
My hubby asked me how many days have 30 days in the year. Then he said, I believe there is a saying but I can’t remember it. I told him that is what I remember too. Then he looked at the calendar and said there are 31 days in this month.

The 5 Best Fats to Help Lower Your Cholesterol, Approved by a Dietitian
Cholesterol has a reputation for being a bad thing, but it's necessary for your health. In fact, your liver makes cholesterol, which the body uses in various ways, such as to produce hormones. But consuming too much of some types of fat—saturated and trans fat (found in fatty meats and fried foods, for example)—may raise levels of LDL cholesterol (known as “bad” cholesterol). This type of cholesterol could accumulate in arteries, increasing your risk for heart disease and stroke, according to the American Heart Association. It’s important to note that, in the past, added trans fats were mainly found in processed foods, but the Food and Drug Administration has banned them. However, trans fats can still naturally be found in a few foods.
