Short-term omega-3 supplementation in postsurgical gastrointestinal cancer patients improved post-operative indicators of immune function, inflammation, and other postoperative outcomes, according to meta-analysis of 16 randomized controlled trials. This is significant, the researchers point out, because gastrointestinal cancer patients often have a poor prognosis due to malnutrition and poor immune function manifesting from a lack of appetite,

5 Tips to Make the Most of Your Total Brain Health Program

By Barbara Peck  

 

We talked to savvy directors at two senior residences and a community center to hear what they’ve learned while implementing the Total Brain Health Toolkits, a series of “out of the box” courses on memory improvement and brain fitness. The program, devised by leading brain health expert Dr. Cynthia Green, is specially designed for active aging and fitness settings. While the training process is user-friendly all the way, you always learn more by doing. Here are some takeaways from their experiences:

  1. Run a pilot before rolling it out in all your communities.

Protein Shake Recipes For The Adventurous: Pina-Colada Shake

A protein shake – or smoothies as some people like to call them – can be as basic or as complicated as you want. We like to be adventurous here and find recipes that are, well, maybe not the first thing you would think of.

Many people, most in fact, spice up their basic protein shake. Most shakes come in multiple flavors that you already know: vanilla, chocolate, strawberry, etc. But that can get boring, right? So take a little bit of time to make it more interesting. We will have more recipes coming soon.

Click here to learn more about protein drinks for people getting older.

Today’s Protein Shake Recipe: Pina-Colada Shake

The Pina-Colada Protein Shake is today’s recipe for the adventurous. Okay, this one is a no-brainer. While it may not be as unexpected as some of the other concoctions we have been suggesting it has become of our favorites.

This recipe calls for more ingredients than most of our protein shake suggestions. (Sorry about that!) But the good news is that is going to have fewer grams of sugar. Yippee!

The combination of the lemon and pineapple with the two types of milk is what gives it the tangy flavor. And the rum flavoring, while optional, is a definite plus to the combination. Using real rum; well that is up to you.

Some of our recipes, like the Pomegranate-Berry Shake are not going to be super sweet. And I think that is a good thing. Especially if you are using a protein shake as a breakfast meal. The zing will help you wake up! Here is the recipe:

Directions: Shakes taste best cold. Blend all ingredients together with ice in a blender until creamy.

Bye-Bye, Beer? Brewers Say They've Got A Plan On Climate Change

The barley used to make beer as we know it may take a hit under climate change, but growers say they are already preparing by planting it further north in colder locations.

A scientific paper published this week predicts climate change will send beer prices skyrocketing and drastically reduce the barley crop. It got tons of media attention. But is beer really doomed?
