The One Ultra-Processed Food No One Over 40 Should Be Eating Anymore Because It Ruins Your Metabolism

Oh, good, I don't eat that. I was worried from the picture that it was peanut butter!

Hospitalizations signal rising COVID-19 risk for US seniors

pachyderm · Dec 12, 2022 at 09:53 AM

I had something happen to me that I don't really understand yet -- a stroke or something that leaves holes in my memory of things, especially memory about the last week or so. Alarming. But aside from the holes I seem to be largely back. At least during the missing time I did not forget to feed my cat -- at least he has not complained.

I am assuming they used anesthesia during your procedure? That can cause the brain to lapse in memory until it all gets out of the body. The brain is where anesthesis is focused. Maybe that is why you experienced this "after" your procedure rather than a "stroke"(?) Peoples bodies react differently to chemicals put into their body so MD's never tell us the posibilities

If you are referring to my recent cataract-removal procedures, I am having a hard time thinking about them! Did I have anesthetics? Must have, but as I say I am having a hard time thinking about them. Much of it was done by laser...

This was the procedure I was referring to where you had a sore throat for so long after from the equipment they used

I wasn't knocked out during my cataract removals, but I was given something the doc said "so I wouldn't care what they did to me." I guess it could be some kind of anesthesia or aanti-anxiety med or something. I do remember both procedures, though.

Maybe you need to check in with your doctors to see if they can explain what happened, pachy.

Expired foods get new life from budget shoppers as inflation soars, but are they safe?

My sons are bad about wanting to throw out foods that I think are still okay.

I do understand, though, that as people get older their noses don't work so well, so they might not smell that foods have gone bad. I look for things like mold and discoloring. But I might cut off parts of foods that are still good.

The High-Sodium Ingredient Nutritionists Say You Should Never Add To Your Soup Because It Leads To Inflammation And Weight Gain

eskielover · Dec 13, 2022 at 03:04 PM

I always use frozen veggies mostly organic when I make soup. Not the high sodium content

Travelinglady · Dec 13, 2022 at 10:08 PM

Good idea, Eskie. Frozen veggies are also fresher.

Yes, I am. Something is definitely not right with my brain. Besides all the stuff you already know about!

The thought of anyone touching my eyes makes me cringe. Just reading about it is too much for me.

Sedation wouldn’t be enough for me for any eye surgery and I can’t even stand it when they check my eye pressure. I hate having air blown in my eyes but that machine is worse even though that give me numbing drops.

I get low sodium or low salt canned vegetables. Frozen lack the taste and texture of even canned. They get mushy when cooked since they are already cooked. I prefer fresh when I can get it.
