Why Pickleball Is the Unexpected Prescription for Better Health

​Pickleball, a rapidly growing sport that combines elements of tennis, badminton, and ping pong, offers numerous health benefits for individuals of all ages. Its low-impact nature makes it particularly suitable for older adults seeking an enjoyable way to stay active.​ And, yes, Cary is hosting the PPA Pickleball Tour: North Carolina Open this week.

Physical Health Benefits:

  • Cardiovascular Health: Engaging in pickleball elevates heart and breathing rates, promoting improved heart and lung function. ​

  • Balance and Coordination: The sport's dynamic movements enhance balance, agility, and hand-eye coordination, which are crucial for daily activities and fall prevention. ​

  • Muscle and Bone Strength: Regular play helps strengthen muscles and bones, reducing the risk of osteoporosis and maintaining overall musculoskeletal health. ​

Mental Health Benefits:

  • Cognitive Function: The strategic aspects of pickleball stimulate mental agility, potentially aiding in slowing cognitive decline associated with aging. ​

  • Mood Enhancement: Physical activity, including pickleball, triggers the release of endorphins, alleviating stress and promoting a positive mood. ​

  • Social Engagement: Pickleball fosters social interaction, reducing feelings of loneliness and contributing to overall well-being. ​

For a comprehensive overview of pickleball's health benefits, you can refer to the article by Mayo Clinic Press

Why Springtime Allergies Are Worse Than Ever

Sniffling, sneezing, watery eyes… sound familiar? Welcome to springtime in Cary, NC — where the pollen apocalypse is in full bloom. But what if we told you the enemy isn't nature… it's us?

In this eye-opening video, Cheddar breaks down how urban planning, “botanical sexism,” and climate change created the allergy epidemic that didn’t even exist before the 1970s.

From Durham’s infamous 2019 “pollen storm” to the USDA's 1949 recommendation to only plant male trees (to reduce mess — not pollen!), this story uncovers the surprising history behind our miserable allergy seasons. Spoiler: planting millions of cloned male trees without their pollen-catching female counterparts might not have been the best idea.

Add in climate change, longer summers, and skyrocketing CO₂ levels… and you’ve got a perfect pollen storm.

🌼 Watch now to learn:

  • Why your symptoms aren’t just “in your head”

  • The science behind pollen-triggered allergies

  • What “botanical sexism” really means

  • How we might fix this growing problem (literally)

The Answer to the Cary Spotlight Hook Trivia Question 👇👇👇

Puerto Williams, located on Navarino Island in Chile’s southern Tierra del Fuego archipelago, holds the title of the southernmost city in the world. It lies farther south than the more widely known Ushuaia, Argentina, and serves as the capital of the Chilean Antarctic Province.

Despite its remote location, Puerto Williams is home to a small population and offers stunning landscapes, access to pristine wilderness, and a gateway for scientific expeditions and trekking adventures in the sub-Antarctic region.
