Wrinkles, fine lines are caused by years of sun exposure, environmental pollution and poor diet and that is why we age. And the more we expose our face and bodies to these factors, the faster we will age. Turmeric helps our bodies to activate the skin's internal anti-inflammatory chemicals that will combat wrinkles from forming.

Do you often experience dry eyes? Chances are you are not blinking a healthy 25 times a minute because you are focused on driving on the highway or working on a computer screen for long periods of time.
Over time, these activities can contribute to the age-related vision problems that affect many seniors. Early prevention can halt more serious eye problems that can lead to blindness. Wear big sunglasses to block out the retina-damaging UV rays.
Eat one serving or half a cup of cooked dark leafy veggies such as kale or mustard leaves to fend off the onset of macular degeneration, a leading cause of age-related blindness.

The Pipe Piper blows a lively tune,
Melody so rich, you will surely swoon,
Through the narrow street and alleyway,
The rat did not come out to play
The cat did come and it did sat
I bet curiosity kills the cat.
Listening, a pair of furry ears,
Piper boy takes away its fears.
An audience of one may not be dandy,
But, the cat will come in handy,
He sends the cat to hunt the pesky rats
They hide in the sewage and in the gaps.
The Pipe Piper work will soon be done,
He and the cat has become one.
I lost the bet.
The Piper did not kill the cat!
Until my next post, "Here's To Your Health!"
