Veterans Day. Mental Health. My two sons enlisted after graduating high school. My oldest joined the Marines and the youngest joined the Navy. My oldest is in law enforcement and my youngest is deceased. How can we help our veterans transition upon their return home? What I've learned is that when they leave their military post they are leaving their (military) "family." Yes, they may be returning to their home town and to their immediate family, but that does not mean it is an easy transition. Be kind, be patient. Enjoy the holidays without expectations.

Need some ideas for your bananas??? Years ago I used a banana peel to remove a plantars wart from my son's foot (rather than having it burned off by doctor). I wrapped the peel around Paul's foot, taped it in place (taped banana peel to banana peel), then gently put a sock on his foot. No lie - the next morning the wart was gone.

Those rapidly ripening bananas are good for more than just banana bread! The post 20 Clever Uses for Bananas (Besides Eating Them) appeared first on Reader's Digest.

Did you know that in 1990 only 6 million Americans suffered from diabetes?

In 2023, that number has skyrocketed to 37.3 million!
To make matters worse, one in five people with diabetes doesn't even know they have it. The harsh reality is that this disease is as harmful as it is prevalent. If not properly managed, diabetes can lead to a range of life-altering health complications, affecting almost every organ system in the body.

Did you know...
that blood sugars can be improved with good nutrition?

You're probably getting ready for the new year, setting new goals. One goal that most of my friends are setting is "eating more healthy foods," or "losing weight." Want Reliv to help?
