Thank-You
The first stop on my vacation was my sister's
house in Montana. She's extremely organized -before she leaves on a trip she always types up
address labels for her postcards. This time, I
figured I did her one better. The second day of
our visit, I boasted, "You'll be impressed. I've
already written thank-you notes to everyone I'll
be staying with. They're all stamped and ready
to go." My sister was silent for a moment. Then
she asked, "You mean those little envelopes I
saw in your room and mailed this morning?"
How to prevent
hearing loss?
1. Go for a hike in the woods. Aerobic exercise brings more oxygen into
your system and improves blood flow to your ears.
2. Switch to decaf coffee and low-sodium soups. Caffeine appears to
interfere with blood flow to the ear, while salt can lead to fluid retention,
which can cause swelling in the functional organs of the ear.
3. Wear earplugs when you use the weed whacker or go to the shooting
range.
4. Brush your teeth at least twice a day and floss after every meal. For
some reason, there's a connection between the number of teeth you've
lost and your hearing, with researchers finding that the more teeth you
still have in your mouth in old age, the better your hearing. No, dentures
don't count!
