Let Freedom SingThis Fourth of July, celebrate
both our nation’s history and thehistory of some favorite patrioticsongs:
“America” (“My Country ’Tis ofThee”). This song’s lyrics, set to themelody of “God Save the King,”were written by the Rev. SamuelFrancis Smith, who debuted it atan Independence Day celebrationin 1831. It was used as thecountry’s anthem for decades until“The Star-Spangled Banner” wasofficially given that honorin 1931.
“America the Beautiful.”According to Katharine Lee Bates,an English professor who wrotethe words of this stirring tune in
1913, the lyrics were inspired by aprairie wagon ride she took upPikes Peak in Colorado, where shegazed upon the breathtakingbeauty of the countryside below.The music was composed in 1882by Samuel Augustus Ward, achurch organist and choirmaster.
“You’re a Grand Old Flag.”Written by George M. Cohan forhis 1906 stage show “GeorgeWashington Jr.,” this lively marchwas the first song from a musicalto sell more than 1 million copiesof sheet music.
“Yankee Doodle.” Although itsexact origins are unknown, thisupbeat ditty dates back topre-Revolutionary War times,when British officers sang it tomock American militiamen. Butin true American style, this parodyhas been embraced as a patrioticclassic and also influenced theworks of George M. Cohan andJohn Philip Sousa.
Refreshing and DeliciousThe Popsicle, that classic
summertime treat, isn’t exactly ahealth food. But the refreshingsnack on a stick can help you stayhydrated on hot, sunny days. Plus,ice pops are lower in calories andfat than desserts like ice cream,and, depending on the brand,may be sugar-free or containadditional nutrients if made withreal fruit.

Do you know what our Brainsare made of?
It is 77% Water, 12% Fats, 8%Proteins, 2% Minerals, and1% Carbs.
Like the rest of the body, thebrain is mostly made of water.Skeletal muscle is about 75percent water, for example,whereas the brain is 77 percent.The next largest component of thebrain is fat (12 percent, with lotsof cholesterol), followed byprotein (8 percent), and minimalamount of minerals andcarbohydrates.
Healthy fats are critical to ahealthy brain; you can’t have ahealthy one without them. Thebrain also needs plenty ofessential omega fats. Omega-3and Omega-6 fats are used in cellmembranes and in specialsignaling, molecules in the brainand nervous system, but they stillmake up a small percentage oftotal fat in the brain.
The protein in the brain
includes some very special aminoacids. Amino acids are thebuilding block of protein. Someimportant brain amino acids areglutamine, gamma-amino butyricacid (GABA), and carnitine.Glutamine helps muscle grow andfuel the brain. Supplementingwith it does wonders for tiredpeople. GABA is both amino acidand neurotransmitter (a substancethat transmits nerve impulses).Carnitine is an amino acid thatfuel brain function and growth ofnew neurons.
The brain is only 1 percentcarbohydrates. Much of this isglycogen, which brain cellsquickly burns for energy.Glycogen is central to properbrain function, but a low-carb dietprovides enough glycogen foroptimal brain function becauseour bodies can convert proteininto glycogen.
Neurotransmitters arechemicals that brain cells use tocommunicate with one another.Some neurotransmitters youmight have heard of are GABA,serotonin, and dopamine. Oncethe dendrite connects twoneurons, the neurons can use theneurotransmitter to talk to oneanother. Anything that encouragesnew neurons to form or ganglia togrow and connect them is likely tobe great on maintaining a healthybrain.

What Is Fall Prevention?Excerpt from Fall Prevention
Center of ExcellenceFalls are the number one cause
of injury, hospital visits due totrauma, and death from an injuryamong people age 65 and older. Itis estimated that one in threeolder adults fall each year. Fallsamong older adults is a seriousissue, but research has shown thatmany fall risks can be reduced.
There are many different factorsthat can increase the risk offalling. These include:
• Past fallsHazards in the home andcommunityProblems walkingBalance problemsWeaknessImproper footwear
• Chronic diseasesMultiple medicationsPoor visionDepressionMemory problemsBehaviors like rushing
Because there are manydifferent factors that contribute tofalls, there are different
recommendations for reducingfall risks. These include:
Talking with a healthprofessional to identify and treatmedical problems that might leadto falls. This includes discussingany previous falls with the doctor,reviewing medications with adoctor or pharmacist, and gettingvision checked at least once a year.
Getting Regular PhysicalActivity – making a plan to haveregular physical activity either in aclass or at home. The mosteffective types of activities toreduce fall risk improve balance,strength, flexibility, andendurance.
Being Aware of Safety Hazardsin the Home and Community –this includes looking at the hometo identify fall hazards andmaking changes for safety, alsocalled home modifications. It isalso important not to rush and tobe aware of fall risks whenoutside.
Brimming With ShadeBefore heading out into the
sunshine, top your head with awide-brimmed hat. Fashionablefor both women and men, thehats offer added protection fromthe sun, along with sunscreen.
The American Cancer Societyadvises that hats made of tightlywoven fabric provide a bettershield from ultraviolet rays thanthose made from canvas or straw.
