But they didn't stick, did they?

We've been doing this for decades.  Not because we're trendy or have the best technology. But because our Checks system works!

You don't need to throw all ultra-processed foods out the window in a blind panic. Here's what the science says about UPFs that offer genuine nutritional benefit at an affordable price 👇 which.co.uk/reviews/nutrit…

Shocker. Novo (maker of Ozempic) warned by FDA for failing to report several deaths on Ozempic. I didn't know that powerful drugs have risks as well as benefits. Wow. I thought Ozempic was all rainbows, unicorns and pony rides. Color me shocked. medpagetoday.com/publichealthpo….

Why would someone struggling to pay their bills spend £1,400 a year on takeaways and ready meals? Through the lens of behavioural science, it’s a sophisticated survival mechanism thegrocer.co.uk/analysis-and-f…

True story!

The "Good Enough" Rule When "good enough" beats perfect Hey Izzy here. There's this weird thing that happens when we aim for perfection: we end up doing nothing at all. The salad has to be Instagram-worthy, the walk has to be exactly 30 minutes, the meal prep has to be flawless.

Now listening to my own music backwards to see if there’s similar improvement.

Here's what actually works: good enough. The scrambled eggs and toast? Good enough. The 12-minute walk because that's all you had? Good enough. Tracking most of your day even though you forgot breakfast? Still good enough. Perfect doesn't exist. But good enough adds up.

The usual price for a small box is 50% higher than the bigger box 😯 Did you spot it?

IF I GET DEMENTIA….. I’d like my family to hang this wish list up on the wall where I live. I want them to remember these things. 1a. Every time you enter the room announce yourself. “Hi Dad - it’s Amanda.” NEVER ask- Do you know who I am??? That causes anxiety. • If I get dementia, I want my friends and family to embrace my reality. • If I think my spouse is still alive, or if I think we’re visiting my parents for dinner, let me believe those things. I’ll be much happier for it. • If I get dementia, don’t argue with me about what is true for me versus what is true for you. • If I get dementia, and I am not sure who you are, do not take it personally. My timeline is confusing to me. • If I get dementia, and can no longer use utensils, do not start feeding me. Instead, switch me to a finger-food diet, and see if I can still feed myself. • If I get dementia, and I am sad or anxious, hold my hand and listen. Do not tell me that my feelings are unfounded. • If I get dementia, I don’t want to be treated like a child. Talk to me like the adult that I am. • If I get dementia, I still want to enjoy the things that I’ve always enjoyed. Help me find a way to exercise, read, and visit with friends. • If I get dementia, ask me to tell you a story from my past. • If I get dementia, and I become agitated, take the time to figure out what is bothering me. • If I get dementia, treat me the way that you would want to be treated. • If I get dementia, make sure that there are plenty of snacks for me in the house. Even now if I don’t eat I get angry, and if I have dementia, I may have trouble explaining what I need. • If I get dementia, don’t talk about me as if I’m not in the room. • If I get dementia, don’t feel guilty if you cannot care for me 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It’s not your fault, and you’ve done your best. Find someone who can help you, or choose a great new place for me to live. With a bus and activities!! • If I get dementia, and I live in a dementia care community, please visit me often. • If I get dementia, don’t act frustrated if I mix up names, events, or places. Take a deep breath. It’s not my fault. • If I get dementia, make sure I always have my favorite music playing within earshot. • If I get dementia, and I like to pick up items and carry them around, help me return those items to their original place. • If I get dementia, don’t exclude me from parties and family gatherings. • If I get dementia, know that I still like receiving hugs or handshakes. • If I get dementia, remember that I am still the person you know and love.” ᴄᴏᴘʏ ᴀɴᴅ ᴘᴀsᴛᴇ in Honor of someone you know or knew who has dementia. In Honor of all those I know and love and lost who are fighting Dementia/Alzheimer’s.
