What is Arthritis?

What is Arthritis?
Arthritis is a word for when it hurts and swells up around your joints. The most common arthritis is called rheumatoid arthritis. It affects more than 1.5 million people in the United States. With rheumatoid arthritis, something goes wrong with the immune system and it attacks the lining of your joints. This causes pain and makes them swell up. There are other types of arthritis, like osteoarthritis, gout, and fibromyalgia. Arthritis can happen to anyone at any age, but it happens more often to adults who are 65 or older. Symptoms of arthritis include joint pain, stiffness, swelling, and deformity. Treatment options depend on what type of arthritis you have but might include medications, physical therapy, or surgery. There is no cure for arthritis yet, but getting diagnosed early and starting treatment right away can help lessen symptoms.

Companion Plants

Companion Plants

If you’ve been around the garden scene a while you’ve heard of companion planting. And if you haven’t heard, let me enlighten you!

 Some plants play well together; others do not. This is because every plant has certain nutrients that it uses from the soil for growth and fruit production. Also, plants excrete certain byproducts back into the soil that can either help or hinder your harvest!

Meet Maria Custode

 


As a woman who has juggled the fast-paced world of retail for three decades, I know all too well what it means to miss out on family milestones and personal time. Each missed recital and family dinner underscored a lesson I've come to hold dear: the irreplaceable value of time and the paramount importance of health and wellness as we move through life's chapters.

With this wisdom, I've turned a new leaf. My mission is now to guide and support my fellow women over 40 in their pursuit of a balanced lifestyle that cherishes well-being. Whether you're a dedicated professional, a loving mother, or both, I want to help you seize those fleeting moments of joy and ensure that your health is the foundation upon which you build a fulfilling life.

This isn't just my profession, it's my passion. Join me as we empower one another to make wellness a priority and fully embrace the beauty of every precious moment. Together, let's make this journey an extraordinary one.

P.S. Ask me about the juice that has TOTALLY changed me and my family’s lives! We’re talking detox and weight loss, boom.  Easy, peasy.
