Everyday Spices That Support Your Health

Herbs and spices like turmeric, ginger, and cinnamon are not just for flavor.

These everyday staples can actually support your gut, immune system, and overall energy — one small sprinkle at a time.

Turmeric helps calm inflammation (especially when paired with black pepper to aid absorption).

Ginger supports digestion and eases bloating — perfect in hot tea or stir-fries.

Cinnamon may help steady blood sugar and adds a flavorful touch to oats, smoothies, or even coffee.

Start small and use them with intention:

  • Add ¼ tsp of turmeric to soups, roasted veggies, or scrambled eggs — don’t forget the black pepper!

  • Grate fresh ginger into stir-fries or steep it in hot water with lemon for a soothing tea.

  • Sprinkle cinnamon over apple slices, oatmeal, or into your morning coffee.

You don’t need to overhaul your pantry — just a few simple tweaks can lead to big wellness wins.

Which spice do you love most? Or is there one you’ve been meaning to try more often?

Could Your Sleep Be Warning You About Alzheimer’s?

A study published in Alzheimer’s & Dementia suggests that delayed entry into REM sleep may be associated with biological markers of Alzheimer’s disease. Researchers studied 123 participants with varying cognitive conditions and found those with slower transitions into REM sleep were more likely to exhibit signs linked to Alzheimer’s.

While the connection between sleep and Alzheimer’s is not yet fully understood, accumulating research points to poor sleep as a possible contributing factor to cognitive decline. This supports broader recommendations for prioritizing good sleep hygiene and overall health maintenance to potentially reduce Alzheimer’s risk.

REM sleep, which plays a key role in memory and cognitive function, cannot be directly controlled, but improving general sleep quality is considered beneficial. Strategies include sticking to regular sleep schedules, reducing stimulant use, and maintaining physical activity.

The CDC emphasizes additional preventive steps like managing chronic conditions, avoiding smoking and alcohol, and treating hearing loss. People with persistent sleep problems are encouraged to seek medical advice for targeted intervention. Read full story

The Answer to the Cary Spotlight Hook Trivia Question 👇👇👇
Brain cells are extremely sensitive to a lack of oxygen. In most cases, brain damage can begin within just 4 to 6 minutes of oxygen deprivation. This is why immediate action during medical emergencies like cardiac arrest, drowning, or stroke is so critical—every second counts to preserve brain function and prevent permanent injury or death.
