Potlucks are especially popular during the holiday season because they are a great way for attendees to try a variety of foods. However, with different people preparing different dishes, everyone taking part should keep the following potluck food safety tips in mind:

1. Wash your hands before preparing food for a potluck. During the event, be sure to wash your hands after using the restroom, coughing, or touching your face.
2. Refrigerate the food you'll be serving at 41°F or below until you are ready to serve it.
3. Keep hot foods warm during the potluck, at 135°F or above.
4. Keep raw foods and ready-to-eat foods separate to prevent cross-contamination. Remember to allocate separate serving utensils to each dish.
5. Feeling under the weather? Notify your host and refrain from preparing a dish for the potluck to keep everyone safe and healthy.

Is there a difference between unscented and fragrance-free products? Although they might seem similar, the two are actually quite different!

Products might read, "unscented" on their labels because they don't have easily detectable scents. However, they may still contain fragrance chemicals, particularly chemicals that strip away odors. However, some odor-neutralizing chemicals can be harmful.

Products that are "fragrance free" are products without chemicals intended to add a scent to them. However, the products might still have natural scents depending on its ingredients.

For individuals living with skin conditions or sensitive skin, fragrance-free products will likely be the gentler choice.

What is aural rehabilitation? Aural rehabilitation employs practices to reduce limitations brought on by hearing loss.

Rehabilitation may include training in communication strategies, modifications in the listening environment, personal and vocational counseling, usage of hearing aids, speechreading, and the like. Training is generally provided by speech-language pathologists or audiologists and may take place in small groups or one-on-one sessions.

Studies show that a combination of using assistive devices and receiving aural rehabilitation can help to improve quality of life for those with hearing loss. Individuals living with hearing loss that have noticed communication difficulties may consider consulting audiologists about aural rehabilitation.

Experiencing dry hands from dishwashing? It's important to include your hands in your skincare routine, especially since hands come into contact with dish soaps and other household items with ingredients that can strip away your hands' natural oils. Here are four ways to protect your hands:

1. Soak the dishes in hot water before you do the dishes. Afterwards, when you're doing the dishes, simply use lukewarm water. This way, hot water won't strip your skin of its water content.

2. Refrain from using dish soap to wash your hands after you do the dishes, as it's rough on your hands given it oftentimes contains phosphates, bleach, and dyes. Place moisturizing soap next to your sink and opt to use that instead after you do your dishes.

3. Blot dry your hands instead of rubbing them dry. When you gently pat dry your hands, a small amount of moisture is retained and your hands will feel less dryness and irritation.

4. Moisturize your hands immediately after washing your hands post-dishwashing. This will help your skin repair its natural barrier, a barrier that is negatively affected by dish soap and water.

Even if you're spending the holidays apart from your loved ones this year, there are plenty of ways to connect virtually. Here are four ways to celebrate the holidays long-distance:

1. Host a virtual cook-along. Choose a favorite holiday recipe to make together. Prepare all the needed ingredients beforehand separately and sign onto Zoom at the same time to make your dish.

2. Organize a virtual craft session. Send craft materials to all participants, along with instructions and Zoom links. Popular craft ideas include ornament making, holiday cookie decorating, wreath or card-making.

3. Have a watch party. Choose a fun holiday movie to watch with your loved ones. Have all participants pull up the same movie and hit "play" at the same time, or use your streaming services' "watch party" feature so your movies play at the same time.

4. Create and review shared photo albums. Separately upload your favorite photos from the year onto the shared albums. Find a time to sign onto Zoom and take turns going over this year's highlights.

Kitchen towels can get dirty quickly. When we use them to wipe off dirty surfaces in the kitchen, bacteria can begin to grow on them and then spread throughout the kitchen when the same towel is used for wiping off other surfaces. Here are four tips for maintaining your kitchen towels:

1. Use different towels for different tasks in the kitchen. Use cotton towels to dry your hands since they are soft and absorbent. Use microfiber towels to polish glass surfaces or wipe down appliances, since they effectively trap grime and dust. Use terrycloth to soak up large spills since the loops in the cloth make them extra absorbent. Using different towels for different tasks will help you prevent cross-contamination.

2. Wash your kitchen towels daily in hot water to kill bacteria.

3. Dry your towels thoroughly, as damp towels can become a breeding ground for bacteria. Refrain from drying towels in high heat in the dryer, as its fibers may become damaged.

4. Replace your towels early, every 6 to 12 months, for optimal performance. Thinning fabric, odor, or lower absorbency are signs that it's time to replace your towels earlier than that.

Where you keep your toothbrush is important. Storing your toothbrush in the right way can help to minimize germ growth and protect your oral health. Follow these four tips to figure out the best location for your toothbrush.

1. Keep your toothbrush in a toothbrush holder so your brush can stand up to air dry completely. A dry environment is less likely to encourage bacterial growth.
2. Be sure to keep toothbrushes away from each other to prevent bacteria and germs from spreading. This will help to protect all who share the space from colds, flus, and other illnesses.
3. Keep your toothbrush away from the toilet. This way, when you flush, bacteria will be less likely to travel and land on your toothbrush.
4. Refrain from keeping your toothbrush by the sink to prevent it from being splashed when you wash your hands.

Bloodshot eyes are generally caused by minor issues such as allergens or environmental irritants. When your eyes encounter allergens or environmental irritants, an immune response is triggered. Your eyes release histamine, which causes the blood vessels in your eyes to become inflamed. Here are four home remedies that might help you find relief:

1. Apply cold compresses on your eyes while they are closed, several times a day. Applying a clean, cold washcloth to your eyes will help your blood vessels constrict.

2. Avoid allergy triggers and irritants. Check the pollen count online and stay indoors on high pollen days. Refrain from spending time in environments with excess smoke, fumes, and dust.

3. Use over-the-counter eye drops or artificial tears. These will help to wash allergens and irritants out of your eyes and relieve irritation.

4. Frequently wash your hands using soap and water to minimize the possibility of them transferring dirt, germs and other irritants to your eyes.

November is COPD awareness month. Check out our new blogpost: Coping with Fatigue in COPD Patients.

COPD is a group of lung diseases that cause breathing difficulties.

Fatigue in COPD Patients
COPD patients note fatigue as the second most common symptom they are affected by, according to the American Lung Association.

When should I discard frozen food?

When food is properly frozen at below 0°F, most items will be safe to eat for three to twelve months and even beyond. However, foods' flavors and overall quality decline over time. Here are four instances when you should consider tossing your frozen food:

1. When food suffers freezer burn. When food is exposed to the air in the freezer, moisture is lost and turns into ice crystals. Freezer burn dries out your food and takes away from its flavor.

2. When food is discolored. The color of frozen food might change due to loss of moisture or lengthy storage periods. Discolored food might be leathery, tough, lack flavor, and not be worth it to save.

3. When a frozen can is damaged, throw it out. Bulges, cracks, and leaks can indicate spoilage or contamination.

4. After you experience a power outage. If food in the freezer has reached 40 °F for two hours or more, discard it. Bacteria grows quickly between the temperatures of 40°F to 140°F.

Strength training is an excellent way to help you to retain muscle, which will allow you to continue partaking in your daily activities for a long time to come. Additionally, strength training can reduce your risk for osteopenia and osteoporosis by increasing bone density. Here's how to get started:

1. Begin with a warm-up. Warm-ups help to improve your range of motion and stimulate blood flow, reducing your risk of injury. Arm circles, neck circles, leg swings and ankle circles can help you prepare your body for exercise.

2. Start small. Before considering utilizing weights for strength training, start with exercises that use your body weight as resistance. Becoming familiar with body weight exercises will allow you to truly grasp the fundamentals of the exercises you're doing.

3. Start with two strength training sessions each week and give yourself at least one to two days of rest between your sessions. As these workouts gradually get easier for you, you can consider adding another session to your week.

4. During your strength training sessions, explore bodyweight exercises that can help to build strength with minimal strain. Step-ups, leg raises, and calf raises are a few great exercises to start with.
