NATIONAL HIRE A VETERAN DAY

Every day, hundreds of our military personnel leave the service in search of civilian employment. On July 25, National Hire a Veteran Day reminds employers to consider veterans to fill their open positions. As highly trained, qualified individuals, they are ideal for numerous trades.

Legislation protects separating service members as they enter the civilian workforce. However, the best way any potential employer can honor a veteran is to hire one!

Sharing online article by Stephen Hall for CARE HOME PROFESSIONAL...

Taking Care is a documentary following the journey of Seth and Lauren as they navigate the complexities and heartbreak of Lauren’s mother’s young onset Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s Research UK is supporting the UK launch of the documentary Taking Care in which Hollywood stars Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen share their experience of Alzheimer’s disease

Directed and produced by award-winning filmmaker James Keach, Taking Care is a 38-minute documentary following the journey of Seth and Lauren as they navigate the complexities and heartbreak of Lauren’s mother’s young onset Alzheimer’s disease.

Lauren’s mum, Adele, was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s aged just 55. She died in 2020.

Taking Care imparts a message of hope, resilience, and the profound impact individuals can have when they seek solutions to society’s greatest challenges.

“This film is a part of us, as deeply personal as our journey with Alzheimer’s. We want to foster a sense of hope, empathy, and understanding in our audiences. We hope viewers will be inspired to improve their brain health, support caregivers, and advocate for a future centred on dementia prevention, treatment, and support.”

Alzheimer’s Research UK has joined forces with Seth and Lauren’s charity, Hilarity for Charity, and BrightFocus Foundation to support the film and highlight its messages.

Samantha Benham-Hermetz, executive director of Alzheimer’s Research UK, said:
“We are so grateful to Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller Rogen for sharing their experience of Alzheimer’s disease.

“In the UK, the US and around the world there remains a lot of stigma and misunderstanding around dementia. So, having two people with such a high profile shining a light on the condition will be hugely impactful.

“It is estimated there are 55million people living with dementia worldwide, including nearly one million people in the UK. This number is projected to triple by 2050, rising to more than 150million.

“Dementia is one of the biggest global health crises, so the important messages highlighted in the Taking Care film are so vital and urgent.

“The film highlights the need to improve diagnosis, find new treatments and spread the message of the steps people can take to improve their brain health and reduce their risk of developing dementia.

“We hope this film will spark conversations and bring about change for people with dementia and their families.”

The film can be watched on Amazon Prime and via other streaming services. To find out more about the film, go to www.takingcarefilm.com

NATIONAL TROPICAL FRUIT DAY

Today is July 18 on the National Day Calendar and we are celebrating the delicious food holiday National Tropical Fruit Day. This fruity National Day celebrates the variety of exotic tropical fruit from around the world and gives us the opportunity to get a taste of some sweet facts, too.

Tropical fruits grow in regions where the weather his hot and humid in regions we call the Tropic of Cancer and Tropic of Capricorn. Asia, Africa, Central and South Americas, and the Caribbean produce some of the most delicious tropical fruits in the world.

National Tropical Fruit Day presents an opportunity to snack, cook, and sample tropical fruit all day long!

Health Benefits of Tropical Fruit:
Many people refer to tropical fruit as a superfood because they are full of vitamins and minerals. They contain protein-digesting enzymes that reduce inflammation, including kidney inflammation. Because they are also rich in potassium, eating tropical fruit helps regulate blood pressure and helps in maintaining a healthy heart. In addition, tropical fruit contains Vitamin C, which removes impurities from the body. Vitamin C also provides a natural defense mechanism to help fight off infection.

THANK YOU FRANCI FOR BEING SO AMAZING! 🤩

Franci's July 8th post:
"What a joy to have completed a set of three Expressive Arts Therapy groups sponsored by Carmel Terrace of Framingham for their residents. All of our work in group tied back to my therapeutic goals of supporting elders to engage meaningfully with others, while stimulating their brains through creative and sometimes challenging (but rewarding!) self-exploration. In strengthening community connection and attending to one's emotional needs, elders can improve and sustain positive wellness."

"Thank you Jennifer Zerwas, Director of Social Opportunities, for inviting me in to Carmel Terrace and encouraging residents to join this unique group."

WHY ARE WOMAN TWICE AS LIKELY TO DEVELOP ALZHEIMER’S AS MEN?

Researchers focusing on chromosomes, menopause

A neglected piece of the Alzheimer’s puzzle has been getting increased scientific attention: why women are twice as likely as men to develop the disease.

One might be tempted to explain the disparity as a natural consequence of women living longer. But those studying the disease say that wouldn’t account for such a large difference, and they’re not precisely sure what would.

While many factors may be at play, researchers are zeroing in on two where the biological differences between women and men are clear: chromosomes and menopause.

Women have two X chromosomes, and men have an X and a Y. Differences between genes held on the X and Y chromosomes, researchers say, may give women an increased chance of developing Alzheimer’s.

Menopause, when production of the hormones estrogen and progesterone declines, is another clear difference between the sexes. Those hormones are widely known for their roles in the reproductive system, but estrogen also acts on the brain, researchers say.

IT'S ALL AMERICAN PET PHOTO DAY

All American Pet Photo Day encourages pet owners to share their favorite pet photos on July 11. Be sure to charge your camera and be prepared to take adorable pictures of your pets!

Whether they are the four-legged furry kind or come from the more serpentine species, click away. Fishes and birds, pigs and equine, canine and feline should all get in line for their favorite pose. If they are friends, take a few snapshots of them together! On All American Pet Photo Day, every pet gets included.

When it comes to capturing the perfect image of your loyal pal, it might take some effort. Like humans, some furry and not so furry friends are camera shy. A pocketful of treats helps ease them into the shot. If bribery doesn't work, sometimes exercise before the photoshoot will. Another option is misdirection. Focus their attention on another area beyond the lens of the camera, and you might get the picture you want. If all else fails, wait until your sweet companion falls asleep and click away. They're at their cutest when they're resting anyway.

Remember to keep your pet safe and comfortable. Don't let your pet become overheated or over-anxious. A stressed pet won't take a good photo. Defer to your pet's temperament, toss out the costumes, and accept the blurred selfie.

INDEPENDENCE DAY

The Fourth of July—also known as Independence Day or July 4th—has been a federal holiday in the United States since 1941, but the tradition of Independence Day celebrations goes back to the 18th century and the American Revolution. On July 2nd, 1776, the Continental Congress voted in favor of independence, and two days later delegates from the 13 colonies adopted the Declaration of Independence, a historic document drafted by Thomas Jefferson. From 1776 to the present day, July 4th has been celebrated as the birth of American independence, with festivities ranging from fireworks, parades and concerts to more casual family gatherings and barbecues.
