Hi, Hello Reader, There are a lot of things about menopause that we have not been educated about. One of them is that the main reason women are more susceptible to osteoporosis is because when we go through menopause our estrogen levels drop. They are even decreasing in peri-menopause before we might become aware of it. Due to these hormonal changes, women lose bone mass faster than we can replace it. Calcium also helps your muscles move and your nerves communicate with the rest of the body. It helps blood flow and releases hormones that affect many bodily functions. Sometimes, physicians or nutritionists or even magazine articles recommend that we take a calcium supplement, and some actually recommend taking vitamin D with the supplement to help with absorption. Even then, we only absorb a tiny portion of that calcium. In fact, the International Osteoporosis Foundation (IOF) recommends against the routine use of calcium supplements because they can cause painful kidney stones and may even increase the risk of cardiovascular disease. That's why I'm excited about this new product called CAL20. Studies of CAL20 have shown that is highly effective with Menopausal Osteoporosis. In a 2005 study, 87.5% of the 112 post-menopausal women showed an improvement in bone density and a reduction in symptoms such as lower back and hip pain. |

They then sent instructions to pick out 10...
April 3rd, 2024 Hi, Reader, Happy April! For those of us in the northern hemisphere, signs of spring are beginning to appear (thank goodness!) and for those in the southern hemisphere, I imagine that fall is approaching! What month would be considered the dog days of summer in Australia and New Zealand? I would love to know!I haven't written about caregiving for a while but that was actually the subject of my blog when I began it in 2008. At that time I was caregiving for my father who had...

Here's your Midweek check-in! ↓ Hi, Hello Reader, At the recommendation of a friend, I was listening to a TEDx talk by Dr. Riley Moynes on the phases of retirement. It struck me that these phases are very similar to what we go through when the kids leave home.He talked about Phase One of retirement being like a vacation. I see a similar situation when the last of the kids leave home - no need to get up early to get...
