STEAK OUT
Don’t want to inherit Grandma’s arthritic joints? Go easy on her meat loaf. People who eat 14 ounces of red meat weekly may double their risk for inflammatory arthritis compared with those who eat less than seven ounces, a study in the journal Arthritis & Rheumatism suggests. The high collagen content in meat could be a factor in an immune system response that affects joints. Instead of steak, reach for protein-rich foods such as nuts, legumes and tofu.—Self |

WATER WISDOM
Buy a small, lightweight pitcher. Keep it filled with water at all times in a convenient place. Remind elderly family members periodically about drinking plenty of water and where the pitcher of water
is located. Staying adequately hydrated can ward off a number
of different ailments such as headaches, sleeplessness and appetite suppression. It’s great for overall health and well-being.—Caregiver.com |
