Today is National Artichoke Day, a day to celebrate and eat these nutritious, delicious plants. Artichokes are from the Mediterranean and are one of the oldest foods in the world — the Greeks and Romans ate them in the 8th century! Today, we love eating them boiled, baked, steamed, grilled, fried, and every other which way. In America, 99.9% of the artichokes we buy are grown in California, and in fact, the artichoke is the official state vegetable! To get to heart of that matter, we love everything about this yummy vegetable.

Why We Love National Artichoke Day

Artichokes are versatile
Artichokes are such a good snack. They taste good no matter how you cook them, and are so fun to eat. Try frying the hearts, steaming them, or even stuffing them. In Italy, artichoke hearts in oil are traditional; in Spain, young artichokes are mixed with rice for paella; in Rome, they are fried whole; and in the Middle East, they are stuffed with ground lamb and spices.

Artichokes are beautiful
Artichokes are actually the flowers of the artichoke plant, which explains why they are so beautiful. Artichokes are a popular motif in fabrics, and look just gorgeous in a bowl. Some flower shops even feature artichokes still on the stem sold as cut flowers. Grow them in your garden, and they’ll bloom with bright purple flowers.

Artichokes are healthy
Artichokes are one of the most antioxidant-rich vegetables and contain specific antioxidants that have been linked with boosting liver health and function and even fighting cancer. In addition to being super tasty, artichokes are so good for our bodies. They are rich in antioxidants and nutrients like vitamin C, folate, and magnesium. They are a food you can feel great about eating any time of day.

National Drug and Alcohol Facts Week 2026 is observed from March 16 to March 22, focusing on educating teens about the science of drug and alcohol use and addiction.

Purpose
This annual event, launched in 2010 by the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), aims to educate teens and young adults about the effects of drugs and alcohol, dispel myths, and empower youth to make informed decisions about substance use. The National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) also partners in this observance, highlighting alcohol as a key topic alongside drugs.

Key Goals
Counter misinformation: NDAFW connects students with scientists and experts to challenge myths about drugs and alcohol that teens may encounter through social media, TV, or peers.

Promote informed choices: Teens learn about the impact of substance use on the brain, body, and emotional health, helping them make safer decisions.

Overdose awareness and prevention: The week includes educational activities on recognizing and responding to overdoses.

Community engagement: Schools, non-profits, and local organizations are encouraged to host events, workshops, or discussions to involve teens and adults alike.

Important Facts About Substance Use

Teen brain development: Alcohol and drug use during adolescence can interfere with brain development, affecting memory, cognition, and emotional regulation.

Early alcohol use risk: Teens who start drinking at age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol addiction compared to those who wait until 21.

Prescription drug risks: Misuse of prescription medications can be as dangerous as illegal drugs, producing similar mind-altering effects and serious health consequences.

Prevalence: Research shows that by 12th grade, about two-thirds of U.S. students have tried alcohol, highlighting the importance of education and prevention.

The Ides of March, an ancient Roman holiday steeped in mystery and intrigue, traces its origins back to the Roman Empire. Celebrated on the 15th day of March, it was a day marked by the settling of debts, sacrifices to the gods, and the commemoration of the full moon.IdesofMarch

Among its most notorious associations is the assassination of Julius Caesar, an event immortalized in the works of William Shakespeare. On this fateful day in 44 BCE, the Roman Senate, led by figures such as Brutus and Cassius, orchestrated a conspiracy against Caesar, culminating in his brutal murder. This infamous act of betrayal has forever linked the Ides of March with themes of treachery, endowing the day with an ominous legacy.
The Origins of the Ides of March
In the Roman calendar, the month was divided into three significant parts: the Kalends (the first day), the Nones (typically the fifth or seventh day), and the Ides (the fifteenth day). The Ides of March, representing the midpoint of the month, held substantial importance in Roman society. It was a time when Romans would settle their debts, symbolizing life's renewal and the cyclical passage of time.

Furthermore, the Ides of March coincided with the full moon, a celestial event that captivated the Roman imagination. The full moon was regarded as a harbinger of prosperity, fertility, and rebirth. Consequently, numerous festivals and rituals were held to honor various deities, including Jupiter, the king of the gods.

The Ides of March in Modern Times
Today, the Ides of March has transcended its ancient roots, taking on a broader symbolic significance. It serves as a cautionary reminder of hidden threats and the potential for betrayal, emphasizing the need for vigilance and awareness. Shakespeare's enduring warning, "Beware the Ides of March," encapsulates this theme perfectly.

Moreover, the Ides of March offers a moment for personal introspection, renewal, and the pursuit of new beginnings. It provides an opportunity for individuals to reflect on their past actions, address their mistakes, and embark on a new journey with a sense of refreshment and rejuvenation.

Ultimately, the Ides of March stands as a testament to the lasting influence of Roman culture, with its legacy intricately woven into the fabric of modern society. Commemorating this enigmatic holiday reminds us of the delicate interplay between fate and free will, urging us to heed the lessons of history.

If the thought of K-9 Veterans Day conjures up images of majestic German Shepherds donning little military vests, you’re not far off. The special holiday is celebrated annually on March 13th to honor the dedicated service of military working dogs and their handlers.

These four-legged heroes are often overlooked in mainstream narratives, but they’ve played critical roles in various operations dating back to World War II. And they still continue to serve in the present day!

National K9 Veterans Day, March 13, is a day set aside to honor commemorate the service and sacrifices of American military and working dogs throughout history.

It was on March 13, 1942, that the Army began training for its new War Dog Program, also known as the "K-9 Corps," according to American Humane, marking the first time that dogs were officially a part of the U.S. Armed Forces.

The rest, as they say, is history. Officially a part of the service or not, the dogs of war span centuries and include such heroes as Sgt. Stubby, the original war dog; Chips, the most decorated dog in World War II; Lex, who retired with his fallen owners family; and Cairo, the Navy SEAL working dog on the bin Laden raid.

Our kidneys play a silent yet vital role in keeping us healthy. From filtering waste products to balancing our fluids, these bean-shaped organs are unsung heroes in our body. World Kidney Day shines a spotlight on kidney health, urging global awareness and preventive measures against kidney diseases.

There are 8 golden rules for kidney health.

Keep regular control of your blood sugar. About 50% of people with Diabetes will develop kidney damage. Make sure you are doing all you can to stay in control!

Keep fit and active. Staying active helps in many areas to keep your kidneys healthy as well as promotes a positive mood and weight loss.

Eat healthily and keep your weight in check. Making good food choices will go hand in hand with staying active to reduce weight and encourage good health.

Water, water, water! Keeping hydrated is good for your skin as well as your kidneys. Staying hydrated flushes the toxins out of the kidneys and reduces the chance of kidney stones.

No Smoking! Smoking is bad in many ways, but for the kidneys, the chance of developing cancer in them increases by 50% for smokers.

Stay away from over-the-counter medicine for chronic issues. Many over-the-counter medicines such as ibuprofen can harm your kidneys if taken regularly. It is ok to take for emergencies but see a physician if you are having chronic pain for options that will not cause harm.

When Did You Last Say Thank You… to Your Immune System?

Think about it: As soon as you entered this world, your immune system took on the job of your bodyguard. Yet, despite its relentless service, it has never received paid time off or a vacation. It has been on duty 24/7, non-stop, working three daily shifts, and rarely receives a simple Thank you.

And let us be honest, when was the last time you even acknowledged its existence? Today, that changes. Welcome to National Immune System Day, a day when we roll out the red carpet for our immune systems. It’s a day dedicated to celebrating your indispensable yet silent, overworked yet underpaid, vigilant sidekick who never gives up on you! March 11 is a day that should be remembered forever because it shaped the course of humanity forever. It marks the day the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic, underscoring our immune systems’ critical role in everyday life. What about YOU? Were you prepared? Did you feel protected? Did you find your immune system was up for the challenge when COVID-19 hit the scene?

5 ways you can help strengthen your immune system... starting today!

Reduce Stress
When you're stressed, your body releases a hormone called cortisol. This hormone can weaken your immune system and make it harder for your body to fight off sickness. To reduce stress, try doing things that help you relax, like meditation, yoga, writing in a journal or any other activity that you enjoy.

Eat Health
Eating a variety of colorful fruits and vegetables is important for your health because they give us vitamins and minerals that help our immune system stay strong. Whole grains, nits, seeds, lean protein, and foods with healthy fats like olive oil and salmon are also good to eat.

Exercise
Doing some exercise regularly can help reduce stress hormone levels and improve immune function. It's recommended to aim for around 30 to 60 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity every day. However, we should be careful not to overdo it with too much exercise, as this can actually weaken our immune system.

Sleep
Getting enough sleep is important for keeping your body healthy. Adults should aim for 7 to 9 hours of sleep each night, while children and teenagers need even more. This helps your immune system work better and keeps you feeling your best.

Stay Hydrated
One of the best ways to keep your body health is by drinking enough water. It helps to keep you hydrated and boosts your immune system. But be careful not to drink too much alcohol, caffeine or sugary drinks as they can have negative effects on your health.
