National Cookie🍪 Exchange Day is celebrated annually on December 22, a fun holiday for baking and swapping homemade cookies with friends, family, or coworkers to share a variety of holiday treats, with participants bringing their baked goods to a party and leaving with new favorites. It's a classic tradition to kick off the festive season with shared recipes, laughter, and lots of delicious cookies.

How to Celebrate:
1. Bake & Bring: Each guest bakes a batch of their favorite cookies (like gingerbread, sugar cookies, or lemon bars) and brings plenty to share.
2. Share Recipes: Bring recipe cards or printouts so others can enjoy making them too.
3. Swap & Package: Set up a table for sampling, then use your own tins or boxes to collect different cookies to take home.
4. Add Fun: Have coffee, festive music, and maybe even an "Ugly Sweater" them for extra cheer.

By following these safety tips, elderly individuals can enjoy a safe and enjoyable holiday season with their loved ones.

Christmas tree safety tips for the elderly🎄

When it comes to Christmas tree safety for the elderly, it's crucial to prioritize their safety and well-being.

Here are some specific tips to ensure a safe holiday season for seniors:
• Never leave candles or stovetop food unattended: Always blow out candles and ensure stovetop food is turned off before leaving the room or going to bed.

• Keep children and pets away from the stove: This is especially important for elderly individuals who may not be as vigilant about their surroundings.

• Keep flammable things away from the stove: Items like oven mitts, wooden utensils, and food packaging should be kept away from the stove to prevent accidental fires.

• Clean up spills immediately: Spills can lead to slips and falls, which can be dangerous for elderly individuals.

• Use UL-listed lights: Only use lights that have been tested and approved by a recognized lab to reduce the risk of electrical fires.

• Turn off tree lights before leaving home or going to bed: This helps prevent any potential hazards from the lights.

• Use power strips with built-in circuit breakers: This helps to safely power decorations and reduces the risk of overloading outlets.

• Dispose of the tree promptly after the holidays: A dry tree can be a fire hazard, so it should be removed as soon as possible.

Every year, cold and flu season sweeps across the world.😷

In the U.S. alone, the 2023–24 flu seasons caused about:
- 40 million illnesses
- 470,000 hospitalizations
- 28,000 de@ths
(CDC)

Globally, flu claims up to 650,000 lives each year. And that does not count the countless colds that take kids out of school and adults out of work.

As the days shorten and we spend more time indoors, our immune system is put to the test.

Lifestyle steps like good sleep, balanced nutrition, and hand hygiene are foundational. Vaccination is still the most effective tool for flu prevention.

But certain nutrients and compounds have been studied for their ability to support immune defenses and may help reduce either the risk or the impact of infections.

Here is what research shows so far:

- Vitamin C: Daily intake can slightly shorten colds, especially in kids, though it will not prevent them.
- Vitamin D: Deficiency is common in the colder months. Consistent daily supplementation may lower the risk of respiratory infections.
- Zinc lozenges: When started within 24 hours of symptoms, they can cut colds short by about 2 days. Timing and formulation matter.
- Probiotics: Certain strains have been shown to reduce how often colds occur and shorten their duration, highlighting the link between gut and immune health.
- Glutathione and NAC: These compounds enhance antioxidant defenses. NAC, in particular, has reduced flu-like symptoms in older adults during trials.
- Other options like Ergothioneine (EGT), Lysine, Butyrate, and Epicor remain promising but need more human studies.

Preparation for cold and flu season is less about a single pill and more about building resilience before infections hit hardest.

Think of supplements as one layer of defense that works best when combined with good sleep, nutrition, stress management, and vaccines.

Ingredients
1 pound beef round steak
2 teaspoons canola oil
2 cups diced yellow onions
1 cup diced celery
1 cup diced Roma tomatoes
1/2 cup diced sweet potato
1/2 cup diced white potato with skin
1/2 cup diced mushrooms
1 cup diced carrot
4 cloves of garlic, chopped
1 cup chopped kale
1/4 cup uncooked barley

Heat grill or broiler (medium heat). Trim fat and gristle from steak. Grill or broil steak 12 to 14 minutes, turning once. Don't overcook. Remove from heat and let rest while preparing vegetables.
