Two of the most common causes of white bumps on the lips are milia and Fordyce spots. They can also be a symptom of health conditions such as herpes simplex, oral thrush, or oral cancer. Here are the deets.
White spots on the lips are hella common. Some are totally harmless and go away on their own. Others can be a symptom of an underlying health condition that may require medical attention. Here’s everything you need to know about ’em and potential treatments to consider.

The biggest older adult tech news from August was audible. The US Food and Drug Administration approved the over-the-counter sale of hearing aids. Ironically that will not actually be official until October. The implications are staggering – hopefully the implementation will match. The big five hearing aid manufacturers will once again remake and remarket themselves, their brands and pricing to fit the new rule. Also in August, a new report on the <a href…

Regulatory T cells, as the name might suggest, are involved in controlling the immune response, particularly damping it down at the point at which it should resolve. They also prevent an inflammatory response from starting when it would be harmful or unnecessary, such as in response to self-antigens. A failure of regulatory T cell function is likely involved in autoimmunity, as well as in the chronic inflammation of aging.
As today’s open access paper notes, regulatory T cells may be both harmful and helpful in older individuals, attempting to suppress inappropriate inflammation, but also becoming dysfunctional in ways that both suppress appropriate immune responses to infection a…

“Mrs. Miniver suddenly understood why she was enjoying the forties so much better than she had enjoyed the thirties: it was the difference between August and October, between the heaviness of late summer and the sparkle of early autumn, between the ending of an old phase and the beginning of a fresh one.” ~Jan Struther, Mrs. Miniver
As an adolescent, I was always keen on looking and acting older than my age.
As the youngest amongst three, I always felt that my siblings held more power and their grown up lives seemed more glamorous to me. They would prance off to college or to high school, carrying their own bags and packing their own lunches, while I had to wait for my mother to drop me off, holding her hand as we crossed the street!

Everyone loves a summer barbecue. What’s not to cherish about charred hot dogs, perfectly cooked medium-rare burgers, tender ribs, and seared portobello mushrooms fresh from the grill?
But fantastic coleslaw can be the tangy game-changer you didn’t see coming. The right coleslaw recipe not only can counterbalance the heavier flavors of burgers and brats, it can also add nutrients you won’t get from a plate full o’meat.
A bright and crispy slaw is an essential sidekick to any backyard barbecue feast. Here are 15 of our faves.

“Don’t let this silly world trick you into starving your soul for material things. Cause someday you’re gonna be sitting out under the sun and realize how little you actually need to be truly happy.” ~Brooke Hampton
Three years ago, at the height of pandemic, I made many pitchers of lemonade from scratch. This newfound ritual was one of the better things about being on lockdown.
I’d hand squeeze a big bag of lemons for about one-third cup of juice, and experiment by adding vanilla extract, mint, and tablespoons of honey. I’d bring my drink outside, where I sat for as long as I dared in a lawn chair, sipping the elixir and daydreaming. It made me oddly happy, and even after a return to normal, I still like to indulge myself this way.

Fecal Microbiota Transplantation Improves Cognition in Older C. Difficile Patients
There is a continuing debate over the role of persistent viral infection in the development of neurodegenerative disease. It seems plausible that such infection could increase chronic inflammation, and inflammation in brain tissue is a hallmark of neurodegenerative conditions. Just because the mechanism exists doesn’t mean it is the primary, or even important, component of the disease process however. This is ever the challenge in complex age-related diseases, determining which of the many mechanisms in play are in fact those that primarily cause the condition. So there is a back and forth of epidemiological studies in recent years, attempting to settle the role of viral infection, <a href="https://www.fightaging.org/archives/2018/07/evidence-for-herpesvirus-infection-to-be-a-significant-cause-of-alzheimer…
