As we get older our bodies have different needs, so certain nutrients become especially important for good health. Calcium and Vitamin D Older adults need more calcium and vitamin D to help maintain bone health. To meet these needs, select calcium-rich foods and beverages and aim for three servings of low-fat or fat-free dairy products each day. Other sources of calcium include fortified cereals and fruit juices, dark green leafy vegetables, canned fish with soft bones, and fortified plant-based beverages. Good sources of vitamin D include fatty fish, such as salmon, eggs and fortified foods and beverages. If you take a calcium supplement or multivitamin, choose one that contains vitamin D. Vitamin B12 Some adults older than 50 may not be able to absorb enough vitamin B12. Fortified cereal, lean meat and some fish and seafood are sources of vitamin B12. Ask your doctor or a registered dietitian nutritionist if you need a vitamin B12 supplement. Dietary Fiber Eat fiber-rich foods to stay regular. Dietary fiber also may help lower your risk for heart disease and reduce your risk for Type 2 diabetes. Eat whole-grain breads and cereals, and more beans and peas — along with fruits and vegetables which also provide dietary fiber. Potassium Consuming adequate potassium, along with limiting sodium (salt) intake, may lower your risk of high blood pressure. Fruits, vegetables, beans and low -fat or fat-free dairy products are good sources of potassium. Also, select and prepare foods with little or no added salt. Add flavor to food with herbs and spices. Know Your Fats Most of the fats you eat should be polyunsaturated and monounsaturated fats, which are primarily found in nuts, seeds, avocados, vegetable oils and fish. Choose foods that are low in saturated fat and trans fat to help reduce your risk of heart disease.

History of Groundhog Day Groundhog Day originates from an ancient celebration of the midway point between the winter solstice and the spring equinox—the day right in the middle of astronomical winter. According to superstition, sunny skies that day signify a stormy and cold second half of winter while cloudy skies indicate the arrival of warm weather. The trail of Phil’s history leads back to Clymer H. Freas, city editor of the Punxsutawney Spirit newspaper. Inspired by a group of local groundhog hunters—whom he would dub the Punxsutawney Groundhog Club— Freas declared Phil as America’s ocial forecasting groundhog in 1887. As he continued to embellish the groundhog's story year after year, other newspapers picked it up, and soon everyone looked to Punxsutawney Phil for the prediction of when spring would return to the country.

  • Official Groundhog Prediction 2021
    Groundhog Day 2021 Essex Ed Prognostication Even I couldn’t predict, what 2020 would bring I mean, I just predict weather, secretly hoping for spring At first quarantine was like hibernation, months at a time… all alone Though when months turned to new seasons, I was way out of my zone! So, I started new hobbies, tried out new cuisine, Took online classes, learned yoga… I cleaned and I cleaned. Now Groundhog Day is MY day, to be the center of the room. But to stay socially distant, this year, I’m trying out zoom! No shadow, no shadow, no sun in the sky Winter is over, we bid you goodbye. So, dust off your jeans, put those sweat pants away Expect Spring to be early, and for it all to be okay. Still mask, social distance, and wash your hands too But I predict a year of great memories, for me and for you There is still a football game to be played, so here’s the prediction, Florida will bring a lucky seven for Brady is my intuition. Essex Ed has been predicting the mid-winter forecast since 1997 and the Zoo had various other Groundhogs predict before him. Essex Ed was mentored under the esteemed Punxsutawney Phil, but his predications are his own. NJ weather is not always in line with PA’s after all, and Ed could easily see his shadow while Phil does not or vice versa. In the mid-2000’s, Essex Ed started adding super bowl predictions to his prognostication. He’s much better at prediction the weather than football, but in his defense, he hibernates through most of the sport’s season.

  • Truth, Lies, and Groundhogs by Tony Harkin Tony Harkin
    Truth, Lies, and Groundhogs by Tony Harkin Tony Harkin [email protected] (860) 488-2770 1 Cast: Mark Lamberti: CEO of the Staten Island Zoo, he’s the one who convinces everyone to keep the secret. Mark is egotistical and power-hungry. He comes from old money, and has not had to work hard in life to succeed. He has political aspirations down the line, which is why he is so desperate to keep this under wraps. He understands a scandal this large would totally derail him. Age: late 40s Dr. Sara Faye: Chief veterinarian of the zoo, she is the one who first breaks the news of Chuck’s death. Dr. Faye genuinely cares about the animals under her care, and is uncomfortable with the deceit that is going on. She is whip smart, with her doctorate being from Columbia. Sara came from a lower-class background, and has fought like hell to get where she is now. Age: mid 30s Chloe Quinn: Chief publicist for the zoo, she is a master media manipulator.She is snide and a little slimy, unafraid to put spin on anything to make herself look good. In reality, she is deeply in debt from years of spending more than she made in an attempt to demonstrate a glamorous lifestyle. Age: early 30s Eric McCray: Chloe’s assistant, he is perky and only a few years out of college. Eric is gay, which Jacob takes advantage of. Eric just wants to help, even if it is helping tell a lie. He loves his job and is hoping to one day take Chloe’s job, which can cause friction between them.

The day will be celebrated in both the United States and Canada. Historically, the month of February has borne special significance for people living in the northern regions of the world who are subject to harsh winter weather. For them, there has long been a desire for methods of predicting when spring will arrive and the warmer temperatures will return. For farmers waiting to plant or harvest crops, sailors, ship dispatchers, or anyone planning a journey, accurate foreknowledge of weather conditions is important. Prior to advances in technology that led to the development of weather forecasting into today’s predictive science, people used their experiences to make predictions. This is evidenced through the various traditions, rites, and celebrations that have prevailed for thousands of years, many of which have been a function of astrological conditions.
