The 5-Second Rule Before You Put Vegetables in Your Cart 🛒

Most shopping mistakes happen in a hurry. You see a vegetable that looks good, you grab it, and move on. But taking just five seconds can save you money and waste.

Before putting any vegetable in your cart, quickly check three things: weight, firmness, and skin condition.

If it feels lighter than it looks, it may already be losing moisture. If it feels soft in spots, it won’t last long at home. And if the skin has tiny cuts or bruises, it will spoil faster — even if the rest looks fine.

This is especially important for tomatoes, eggplants, cucumbers, and capsicum. They can look perfect under store lights but break down quickly in your fridge.

The best vegetables usually feel slightly heavier, firm, and smooth without damp surfaces.

Five extra seconds in the store can save you two days of frustration at home.

Some Days You’re Doing Your Best, Even If It Doesn’t Look Like It

Not every healthy day looks the same. Some days you eat well, move your body, feel motivated. Other days you just get through work, come home tired, and sit quietly doing nothing — and that’s still okay.

Health isn’t about being perfect every day. It’s about showing up in whatever way you can. Drinking water when you remember. Taking a short walk when your head feels heavy. Choosing rest when your body asks for it.

Progress doesn’t always look active. Sometimes it looks like patience. And sometimes, just surviving the day is enough.

Evaluate your coverage every year
You don’t have to keep the same Medicare plan every year. The Medicare Annual Enrollment Period is October 15 to December 7 every year. During this time, you can join, switch or drop a Medicare Advantage plan or a prescription drug plan. It’s a good idea to review your Medicare coverage every year to make sure it still serves your needs.
You will automatically go back to Original Medicare if you drop a Medicare Advantage plan during open enrollment, and you will lose drug coverage if it was included with your plan. You may replace drug coverage with a stand-alone prescription drug plan at this time without penalty. A penalty may apply if you drop drug coverage and more than 63 days pass before you get it again.

You can add additional coverage to government-sponsored Original Medicare
If you choose Original Medicare, you can add additional coverage. For example, many people add a Medicare Part D plan to help with prescription drug costs. These plans are offered by private insurance companies.

🌿 Your Body Notices the Little Things You Ignore

It’s funny how we push through days feeling “a little off” — a small headache, low energy, tight shoulders, or that tired feeling you can’t explain. We call it “normal,” but your body is quietly trying to talk to you.

Sometimes it’s not a big health problem… it’s just your body asking for something simple: a glass of water, five minutes of fresh air, a real meal instead of snacks, or just a moment to breathe without rushing.

Taking care of yourself doesn’t always mean changing your whole lifestyle. Sometimes it’s just paying attention. Your body whispers before it ever screams — and listening early makes all the difference.

Consider delaying Medicare Part B
You may be able to postpone Part B and delay paying the premium if you have other creditable coverage. You might be working past 65 and have employer-sponsored health insurance with an employer that has 20 or more employees, for example. Or maybe you have employer-coverage from a spouse’s employer, and that employer has 20 or more employees and allows covered-dependents to delay Medicare enrollment.
Check with the plan benefits administrator before deciding to postpone your Part B enrollment. You need to confirm that you have creditable coverage, ask for written proof (especially for your drug coverage) to ensure you can qualify for a Special Enrollment Period.

🔥 Movement: The Medicine Your Body Was Built For

Your body is designed to move — not just during workouts, but throughout the day. Even a few minutes of light movement every hour can wake up your muscles, boost your circulation, and clear your mind. Sitting for long stretches slows everything down: your metabolism, your focus, your energy, even your mood.

You don’t need a gym to stay healthy. Stretch while working, take short walks, stand up and breathe deeply, or do a few body-weight moves at home. Consistent daily movement keeps your body young, your joints flexible, and your mind refreshed.

🍎 Small Habits, Big Health Changes

Good health isn’t built in a day — it’s built in moments. The little things you do daily add up far more than any big effort done once in a while. A 10-minute walk after meals, choosing fruit instead of sugary snacks, drinking water before coffee, or stretching before bed — these tiny actions slowly rewire your body and mind toward wellness.

You don’t have to overhaul your lifestyle overnight. Just stay consistent with one small, healthy choice each day. Over time, those choices become your routine, and your routine becomes your health.

Find out if you’ll be enrolled in Medicare automatically
If you currently receive Social Security or Railroad Retirement Board benefits, you’ll be automatically enrolled in Original Medicare (Parts A & B). Medicare will mail your Medicare card to you. This applies if you are eligible for Medicare due to age or disability Your coverage will go into effect on the first day of your 65th birthday month or the month of your 25th disability check.
NOTE: You will still have your IEP during which you may make other coverage choices such as getting a Part D prescription drug plan or Medicare Advantage plan.

You can sign up for Medicare as early as 3 months before you turn 65
Medicare eligibility begins at age 65, but you can sign up earlier to make sure your coverage starts as soon as possible. You will have a 7-month Initial Enrollment Period (IEP) that starts 3 months before the month of your 65th birthday. If you sign up during the first three months of your IEP, your Medicare coverage will kick in on the first day of your 65th birthday month. If you sign up later on in your IEP your coverage could be delayed.

☀️ The Healing Power of Morning Sunlight

A few minutes of morning sunlight is one of the simplest yet most powerful health boosters. That warm glow on your skin helps regulate your body’s internal clock, improving your sleep at night and your energy during the day. Sunlight also triggers your body to produce vitamin D — a nutrient essential for strong bones, immunity, and mood regulation.

Instead of immediately reaching for your phone, try stepping outside for 10 minutes after waking. Let your body soak in natural light, breathe deeply, and start your day grounded. Your mind, mood, and health will thank you.

Nurture your social relationships
Social relationships with friends, family, and loved ones you care about are important not only for your mental well-being but also your physical health.
Studies show that people who have close friends and family are healthier and live much longer than those who do not.
