Awalk is not just good for your body, it’s also good for your soul. Physical activity, like walking, is one of the best ways to reduce stress and boost your mood. However, reports show walking rates are declining steadily in the United States.

On average, 1 out of every 4 U.S. adults sits for longer than eight hours each day, per research from the Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, which can have negative consequences on physical and mental health. Regular exercise improves mood, boosts energy and can even help you sleep better.

Staying active is one of the best ways to keep your mind and body healthy.

Consider this advice from the American Heart Association, which has worked for decades to promote policies and strategies that make it easier for communities to get and stay active. One example is National Walking Day, established by the organization to encourage people to move more throughout the day so they can feel, think, sleep and live better.

Indeed, adding more movement can benefit your body and mind in numerous ways, such as:

Lowering disease risk. Getting the recommended amount of physical activity (at least 150 minutes of moderate, 75 minutes of vigorous or a combination of those activities per week) is linked to lower risk of diseases, stronger bones and muscles, improved mental health and cognitive function and lower risk of depression, according to the U.S Department of Health and Human Services.

Increasing sunlight exposure. Outdoor exercise is an easy way to get moving and take in the sunlight, which can improve mood, boost immunity and help you get some vitamin D. Spending time outdoors is a no-cost option and has been shown to reduce stress, promote a sense of belonging and improve mood.

Improving cognitive and mental function. Physical activity keeps your mind sharp now and later. Studies show higher fitness levels are linked to better attention, learning, working memory and problem solving. What’s more, a study published in the “British Journal of Sports Medicine” shows people who get the recommended amount of physical activity are less likely to develop depression.

Living longer. Healthy life expectancy

AI in SeparatingHomebuying: Fact from Fiction

(NAPSI)The homebuying journey has undergone a radical transformation in the digital age. Long gone are the days of sifting through stacks of paperwork, replaced by a streamlined, tech-driven consumer experience. As part of this progression, artificial intelligence (AI) is being woven into the fabric of daily life and has the potential to have a massive effect on the path to homeownership, offering tools that make finding and purchasing a home easier than ever before.

How AI Changes Homebuying

as credit decisioning, humans still take the lead. Credit decisions are complex and nuanced, requiring a deep understanding of a persons financial history and current circumstances. AI can provide data and options, but the final call should always be made by a human who can interpret the subtleties and make an informed decision. Moreover, AI cannot replace the personal touch of a real estate agent or the reassurance and expertise of a loan officer. These human interactions and relationships are vital to the homebuying experience, providing knowledge, negotiation skills and emotional support that AI simply cannot replicate.

AI has the power to streamline the mortgage process, often the most daunting part of homebuying. A 2023 report by LiveVox found that AI-driven customer experiences scored 20% higher in satisfaction than traditional human-led approaches. Companies such as Rocket Mortgage are now automating document collection, verifying information instantly and even showing loan officers the best mortgage products for their clients. This efficiency speeds up the process and increases confidence for consumers.

AI is not just a technological advancement, it is a transformative force reshaping the homebuying landscape, said Brian Woodring, Chief Information Officer for Rocket Mortgage. AI is the compass guiding us toward a future where homeownership is accessible and stress free for everyone.

Beyond the financing, remote home tours ”powered by AI” can virtually transport shoppers to a prospective home, letting them explore every nook and cranny with 360-degree views. AI-driven platforms can also sift through mountains of listings to recommend homes that match a buyers preferences, budget and lifestyle, creating a personalized experience and saving countless hours of manual search.

The Importance of Human Involvement with AI

While AI is certainly transformative, it is not a one-size-fitsall solution. When it comes to such things

This combination of AI with the human touch is already showing results. In fact, over the last year, Rocket Mortgage saw it help shorten the amount of time it takes their clients to close on a home purchase by nearly 20%. AI can handle the heavy lifting of data processing and provide valuable insights, but it takes a backseat where humans perform best building meaningful connections.

The Future Of Homebuying

As consumers embark on their homeownership adventure, AI will open doors while the professionals will help them cross the threshold into their new home.

7 Steps to Help Your Teen Deal with Bullying

Navigating the terrain of teen hood can be tumultuous. In this digital era, the complexities of the teenage years are compounded by evolving forms of harassment - from the traditional schoolyard taunts to the world of cyberbullying.

Parenting a teen who is being bullied is challenging and can feel overwhelming. Here are seven steps to take and strategies to empower both you and your teen in the face of adversity.

Step 1:

Approach and Ask

While it’s important to check in with your teen, there is a right way and a wrong way to approach the situation. Do approach and ask a question that could open dialogue in a non-judgmental way.

Do not use language that sounds like it could lead to a parental lecture.

Staying Healthy

by Erin Ursillo

Depending on your child’s age, the relationship you have at different points of their development, and the degree to which they confide in you - some may find approaching and asking questions easier than others. If you have any reservations about how your child may respond, don’t let it stop you from trying. Better to ask than to avoid. Keep your questions simple and free of language that could be considered the start of a lecture.

Say: “Seems like something is up… do you want to talk?”

Don’t say: “You didn’t do your chores like you usually do and your tone is off today. What’s going on?”

If your teen is unwilling to share with you, keep the door open for future conversations but also let them know you will be checking in from time to time to see if they change their mind about talking. You can also offer suggestions of people they may consider speaking with if they are not comfortable speaking with you.

It’s also important to manage the understandable feelings you will have if your child withholds information. Do not take it personally, and don’t share your feelings about that with your child.

You can say: “I understand you don’t want to share. I am going to trust you have a handle on things but if there is a point where you want to share or you feel like you need some help, I am always here. I will probably check in with you sometime soon, but I’ll respect your boundary here.”

Step 2:

Seek to Understand

It’s a whole new world in which the teens of today are living. Most parents didn’t have to deal with cyberbullying. So, it’s important to learn what your teen is going through.

Do ask your child what the bullying has been like for them and LISTEN.

Do not assume you know what they are feeling and thinking or that it is the same as any experience you may have had in your past.

Children experience bullying in different ways. It’s important to ask what it has been like for your child specifically so are not making assumptions. Assumptions can lead to misinterpreting the severity of the situation (either missing something more serious or exaggerating something less severe).

Provide a listening ear if they are willing to share. Ask clarifying questions if your child will allow. Spend time simply listening and learning about their experiences.

Say: “I can’t imagine what it has been like for you in the halls at school. Walk me through it.”

Don’t say: “I’m sure you feel targeted in the halls.”

Step 3: Validate

Bullying can be a torturous and confusing experience for a child. It can leave children questioning everything about themselves.

Do validate each feeling and thought your child identifies.

Do not tell a child they shouldn’t feel a certain way to relieve them of the negative feelings/thoughts.

Spend time validating your child’s feelings. Fight the urge to discount the facts of the bullying and do not move too quickly towards solutions.

As parents or caretakers, we tend to want to fix things for our kids and fix them fast. That gut urge to protect our kids can cause many parents or caretakers to skip this very vital step of validation and at times even cause us to accidentally invalidate our kids.

Say: “I can see how you would think you are ugly when you are hearing so much of that from these girls.”

Don’t say: “Those girls do not know what they are talking about. You are not ugly. Look at yourself.”

Step 4:

Acknowledgement and Thanks

Acknowledge how hard it might have been for them to share with you and thank them for taking that risk. Recognize that it is not always easy for kids to share how they feel, especially with their parents.

Let your child know that you are thankful they took the risk to be open with you and that you are impressed with how they were able to share it.

Say: “You shared some tough stuff with me today. I appreciate you trusting me with this.”

Step 5:

Relate If You Can

It may be helpful for your child to hear that you have also endured bullying in your past, however, if and how you share these experiences makes all the difference.

If you have ever been bullied, you likely find those memories easy to recall.

Do offer to share personal experiences (briefly/age-appropriate) if applicable.

Do not insist on sharing your story if your child does not want to hear it.

Do not make comparisons between your experience and what your child is going through.

Offer to share your experience with your child and allow them the option to decline. Keep in mind that bullying has evolved since you were a child. Additionally, remember people experience bullying in different ways. There is a fine line between relating to your child and invalidating them in this circumstance. Be very careful not to compare

your situation to theirs as being either more or less difficult.

Say: “Did you know that I was bullied once? It was different than what you are going through but would you want to hear about my experience?”

Step 6:

Offer Realistic Reassurance and Hope

Ask your teen what they might want to do about the bullying regarding the next steps.

Do tell your child it will get better.

Do not sugarcoat the reality that it could take time and is not an easy thing to deal with.

Do ask what your child is comfortable doing as far as the next steps and propose options.

Do not move forward forcefully and independently with solutions.

Some teens will want to act, and others will not. Offer ideas of what can be done with the goal being to stop the bullying. If your child is not comfortable taking any action, you will need to decide as a family about how to proceed with your child’s safety being the driving factor.

If you choose to move forward with something your child is not comfortable with, listen to their fears and try to understand. You do not want your teen to think decisions will be made without their input because this could prevent them from coming to you with difficult stuff in the future. The reality is that your child’s safety trumps everything - so a solution is imperative. However, giving your teen as much control as possible will go a long way.

Step 7:

Get Your Teen Professional Help

It is easy to fall into the mindset that things are better once bullying has stopped, however, keep in mind there is often a negative impact on self-esteem and confidence that can occur.

Do offer to get your teen professional help.

Do not assume the support you are providing is enough to overcome the damage that bullying can do to a teen.

A therapist can help your teen learn how to cope with bullying, how to stand up for themselves, and how to combat negative self-talk that is often a result of bullying.

Finding outpatient providers for a teen can be a challenge considering how mental health help is in high demand. Butler Hospital offers a 24/7 intake line, 1-844401-0111, where you can find out what type of help might be needed for your teen. Clinicians are ready to listen and help you determine the appropriate treatment options.

Ortho Rhode Island’s Providence Office is Bringing a New Experience to Patients

Ortho Rhode Island is known for pioneering the latest in orthopedic

but innovation doesn’t just mean new technology – it also means exploring new ways to make every appointment as comfortable, convenient, and patient-focused as possible. To make the experience at their Providence location at 285 Promenade St. even better, Ortho Rhode Island is updating their office to provide a welcoming, spacious environment for patients and their loved ones.

With 11 new exam rooms, a new x-ray space, and renovated patient check-in and seating areas, Ortho Rhode Island’s new look will make each patient’s road to recovery even friendlier and more efficient. And while these big changes are on the horizon, their fundamental commitment to patients hasn’t shifted. Ortho Rhode Island’s Providence office is still at the same convenient address, with free parking and easy access off Route 95 and Route 10, and still offers the same word-class providers.

The updated space will serve to enhance their ability to meet patients’ needs,

allowing more room for comprehensive musculoskeletal treatment, with providers offering surgical and primary spine care, robotic-assisted knee and hip replacement, care for upper and lower extremities, physical and occupational therapy, rheumatology, onsite MRI, and more.

The Providence location will also continue to offer Ortho RI Express for immediate injury care. The orthopedic specialists at Ortho RI Express provide expert care you won’t find in urgent care or walk-in clinics, for injuries like sprains, strains, fractures, dislocations, and more. These same- and next-day appointments give patients the opportunity to receive the right care for their injuries, right away.

So whether you want to get back to chasing your grandchildren or playing the sport you love, Ortho Rhode Island’s Providence office can help return you to a life in motion. To visit Ortho Rhode Island’s Providence office for world-class care and a one-of-a-kind experience, call 401-777-7000, or visit orthopedicsri.com to learn more.

One thing that took me a long time to realize is what is common knowledge to one person can be mind blowing to another. Today’s topic is one I feel fits that description perfectly. You would be surprised how much monetary value there is in your spare change if you pay attention.

For example, did you know any American pre-1964 dime, quarter, half dollar, or dollar coin is 90% silver? The other 10% was made of a mix of copper, nickel, and/or zinc to strengthen the coin and make it durable to withstand circulation through time. After 1964, the US Mint

Always Remember to Check Your Change

switched to using larger combinations of cheaper metals to create coins. If you’re wondering about nickels, they are made of a copper and nickel combination; however, there is a small exception to this. Nickels minted between 1942 and 1945 actually do contain silver, 35% to be exact. The silver was used to save nickel metal for the war effortbut the value of these nickels are small potatoes compared to the other coins.

The key thing to remember here is “pre-1964” and “dimes, quarters, half dollars, and dollar coins”. If you can remember those two basic guidelines, you’ll be surprised how much money

By Travis Landry Auctioneer & Specialist Bruneau & Co. Auctioneers Cranston, RI

you can save in a year. While the value of silver is always changing, it does always hold value!

Here is a basic breakdown using simple numbers, just to give

you an idea of a silver coin’s worth. Excluding the factors of rare dates, errors etc., let’s analyze your standard 1960 Washington quarter: In the last few months, the value of pure silver per ounce has averaged $24.00 per troy ounce. This is the top peak value where it trades as a commodity at refineries, ETFs, etc. As an individual it is impossible to achieve 100% value; if you get between 80% and 88% you are doing good. At $24.00 per troy ounce, that means one ounce of 90%-coin silver is worth $21.60. Your standard 1960 Washington quarter weighs roughly 6.25 grams (there are 31 grams in a troy ounce). So, at $21.60 per 31 grams, a standard silver quarter is worth roughly $4.35 per 25-cents face value, $17.40 per

dollar! You can do this math for every denomination - the point is it’s a lot of money!

If you didn’t know this before now, I bet within a month you’ll find a silver coin in your change. So, the next time you are grabbing a coffee or getting change at a restaurant always make sure to double check - You never know when you’ll find it!
