Some General Advice For The Health And Wellness Of Your Family
The Right Habits, And Stress Avoidance
The key to long-term health involves facilitating healthy habits. There are places in the world where people live much longer than the international average, even though technological solutions aren’t generally available. A great example of this is South Korea, where there are women in their nineties conducting long free dives for seafood on the ocean floor.
This is traditional in some eastern villages, and it’s part of what keeps the villagers healthy. The three things that tend to most efficiently contribute to health over the long-term are these: eating the right food, getting the right exercising, and keeping your mind healthy. Community helps keep the mind healthy. Morale is key to health. Such fishing villages provide all these things in a neat package.
Without them, mental issues transpire. Have you ever heard of someone simply losing the will to live? DNA is bound by something called telomerase. Telomerase is conformed into microscopic telomeres. Telomeres bind the ends of DNA together like tape at the end of a shoestring. Stress erodes telomerase, your DNA breaks down, and you age.
If you’re not mentally stable, you’re more stressed. When you’re more stressed, at a genetic level, this impacts healthy functionality. Ultimately this expedites aging and invites illness. The more stressed and mentally unhealthy your family is, the sicker they’ll be. So you’ve got to reduce stress, and have plans available for unexpected issues. We’ll cover that further here.
Mental Health Can Be Impacted Many Ways
Even things you wouldn’t traditionally consider to be an issue can affect mental health. For example, it’s well-known today that allergies actually can have a negative effect on a person’s healthy psychology. If allergies keep you inside all day, then you won’t get vitamin D from the sun, and you’ll probably be more sedentary and spend more time watching TV.
If you’ve got a family that has allergies to contend with, they could be experiencing the impact of such problems. So though keeping your family fit, keeping them nourished, and keeping them around the right communities is key for the fullest general health, there are still issues that can develop that are outside your control.
Allergies can result in sneezes that actually damage the sinuses, the throat, or the ears. This can mean you need the services of a well-vetted Ear Nose and Throat practitioner, such as this Plano ENT doctor.
Sometimes you’ll need to have additional options on the table for when all else fails. There can be issues where you or your children need an operation such as balloon sinuplasty in Waterbury. The takeaway at this point is that, regardless of the health measures you take directly, you still need emergency solutions like medical specialists readily available—and wherever you happen to be.
Hope For The Best, But Be Prepared For Unhappy Surprises
There can be instances where illness or injury crops up suddenly, and the faster you can get medical attention, the less negative fallout will be experienced by your family. Remember that even if you do everything perfectly, there are still going to be instances where sickness or injury occurs. That’s just life.
So it’s not enough to plan against the worst-case scenario. You’ve got to expect it. The old saying goes like this: hope for the best, expect the worse. That’s not the same as bringing negative ideation into reality; that’s just storing up food for winter when you know the seasons change every year.
Keep your kids active, this is good for their physical development. Give them healthy, unprocessed, organic foods—this gives their bodies fuel to develop and heal. Keep them active in your local community for mental health purposes, and search around to find medical options for when sickness or injury develops regardless of your best efforts. You can’t eliminate stress, injury, or illness; but you can reduce how bad it impacts you and your family.

I was taken to City Winery by Eli Marcus for the Beatles Brunch with Strawberry Fields. 
This show plays every Sunday with an unlimited brunch buffet that includes coffee, tea and juice, starting at noon. A bottomless brunch cocktail package is also available and children get in free. Here tourists mingle with New Yorkers, eating scrambled eggs, sausage, bacon, dried out French toast, spicy potatoes with onions and peppers, perfectly done chicken, salad and fresh fruit. What is so nice, is that everyone seems happy to to be here, to see and hear the Fab Four.
Eli Marcus, Suzanna Bowling
The show starts off without fan fare. The lights dim and four men enter, not quite looking like the originals. Tony Garofalo (John Lennon), Billy J. Ray (Paul McCartney), Ira Siegel (George Harrison), and Michael Bellusci (Ringo Starr) and their costumes and wigs have seen better days. Then the music starts. You can watch one of our video’s here.
From the early hits like “I Wanna Hold Your Hand,” “She Loves You,” “Ticket To Ride” “Eight Days A Week” and more the first act is nostalgia at it’s best. It was adorable to watch the audience, especially the young ones “Twist and Shout.”
After a break in came the Sergeant Pepper era, clothing and all. From that we got “Nowhere Man,” “My Guitar Gently Weeps,” “When I’m 64,” “Penny Lane” and songs that dig into your soul. They are done well and the Beatles live again. You can see our video here.
Then the later songs like “I Am The Walrus” and “Don’t Let Me Down” end a show that is almost two hour long of music, that is classic. I have to admit I wanted to hear “Blackbird” and “Norwegian Wood,” but what you get is a well rounded assortment of those songs that shaped several era’s.
Billy J. Ray, Ira Siegel
Ira Siegel stands out with his guitar playing that is out of this world. I really loved all the songs he sang as well.
Michael Bellusci

Tony Garofalo
Tony Garofalo is the founder, creator and producer playing rhythm and lead guitar and singing lead vocals along with Alan LeBoeuf from the original Beatlemania playing bass guitar. Ray looks the most like the Beatle he is playing.

Strawberry Fields has been covering The Beatles for over three decades. They used to have a residency at B.B. Kings, but these days their home base is City Winery and it is definitely a great way to spend a Sunday. All four are consummate musicians and obviously have a love for what they do and that rubs off on their audience.
For a souvenir up a City Winery Strawberry Fields Rose Wine and have it signed by the cast. With its is its strawberry pink color, you get a combination of kiwi, watermelon and the taste of strawberry that lingers.
City Winery is right next to Little Island, Chelsea Market, The Highline, the Meatpacking district, Chelsea, and West Village. Everything is nearby to make a perfect outing for the whole day and this is one brunch where you definitely get your money’s worth. Click HERE for tickets
Tickets are $65.45

Diane Dimond’s book on the scourge of abusive adult guardianships is coming out very soon. It only took her 8 long years of investigation and countless interviews with affected people to get to the bottom of this extremely flawed part of the justice system.
People who have lived through this nightmare knows first hand what this “protective” part of the court system can do to rip apart families. But because it’s such a secretive system few Americans realize that they – or someone they love – could be guardianized without warning. It’s not just Britney Spears – up to 2 million people currently live under guardianship/court control.
All it takes is for someone (a vindictive relative, a greedy business partner, a former lover, even a landlord) to file a guardianship petition with the court saying someone is not competent to care for themselves. The judge usually agrees – often without ever seeing the targeted person – and the guardianship is established. Judges routinely appoint a total stranger as guardian to make all life decisions for the new “ward of the court.” All their civil rights are stripped away and, suddenly, the person has no say in their own life –they can’t even hire their own lawyer to fight it. There are many more horrific aspects to this “justice” system and Ms. Dimond spells it all out in the book.
We’re Here to Help – When Guardianship Goes Wrong not only reveals the predatory nature of the system (which controls a collective $50 billion in ward’s money every year!) but also tells what to look out for. It provides a guide for readers to protect themselves and those they love.
Diane Dimond is the author of four books including the upcoming, “We’re Here to Help: When Guardianship Goes Wrong,“ published by Brandeis University Press, released Sept. 19, 2023
On September 18th at 7:00 PM at The Town Hall, 123 West 43rd Street, Voices: Stars for Foster Kids a musical benefit for You Gotta Believe, a NYC organization specializing in helping older foster youth find permanent, loving families will take place. Hosted by SiriusXM’s Seth Rudetsky and James Wesley, expect a plethora of Broadway stars and performers, who will come together to celebrate the power of love and family.
Performers include; Rosie Perez, Bellamy Young, Ta’ Nika Gibson, Charlotte d’Amboise and Terrence Mann, Sharon Catherine Brown, Griffin Matthews and Matt Gould, Krysta Rodriguez, Anika Larsen, Norm Lewis, Gracie McGraw, Patina Miller, Brenda Braxton
