Americans of all ages now spend far more time on screens, crowding out time that might otherwise be spent with a book. This trend too shows a similar socioeconomic divergence: Specifically, adults with high school education or less are four times more likely to be smartphone-dependent (24%) than college graduates (6%).

In this prospective cohort study, resistance training among US adult health care professionals was associated with substantially lower T2D risk, particularly when performed consistently over midlife and combined with adequate aerobic activity and limited sedentary television viewing. These findings support the inclusion of resistance training as a key component of lifestyle recommendations for diabetes prevention. […]
In reality, though, most workers don’t get to retire on their own terms. Retirement often arrives suddenly and unexpectedly, triggered by health setbacks or corporate downsizing. And once you’re retired, returning to the workforce is seldom easy. Planning to work in retirement?

My interviews with Howard Marks, Chairman of Oaktree Capital, and famed for his “Chairman’s Memos,” were instructive.1 The first time he mentioned his good fortune, I pushed back, asking, “What about intelligence, hard work, and perseverance?” His answer: “Everybody in my MBA class at the University of Chicago was very smart and very hard working.

What dose of Turmeric are you taking?
And do you know anything about combining it with an anticoagulant? Not warfarin, but an NOAC.
I would like to take Turmeric. I have seen some warnings about combining with Warfarin but have not seen anything about the NOACs.
500 mg daily. Let me research the NOAC question.
Thank you so much. I have been wanting to take curcumin but have been reluctant to because of the possible interaction with anticoagulants. But the only information I have been able to find has been concerning Warfarin. So if you can find some info on the NOACs, that would be great. Thank you!

Thank you so much. I think I’ll hold off on taking the turmeric for now.
I support your decision despite my lack of medical training.
I’m going to have to do some more thinking about the risk versus the benefit. Have you found that the supplement really helps your arthritis pain a lot?
I have an extremely high pain threshold so it’s hard to say. It is a rare day when I need a pain killer like Tylenol or Ibu. I have noticed less days of knee discomfort since starting Turmeric. Also less days where I feel the need to wear a brace. So overall I’d say yes to your question but wouldn’t say “a lot”.
I have had nagging tendinitis in my right arm for over six months. I may just give some turmeric a try. Also when I had bloodwork last fall my CRP was elevated and from what I’ve read turmeric does help to reduce inflammation.
Turmeric has not helped my carpal metacarpal joint arthritis. Bilateral. I forgot to mention this until my hands started aching this morning after yard work.
Hmmm. That’s exactly where my hand arthritis is located. How long have you been taking the turmeric? Maybe it takes a while to kick in.
I’ve been taking Turmeric for nearly a year. Hopefully it takes a while to kick in!
Slow mode.
