MAKE BEDROOMS MORE CONDUCIVE TO SLEEP

Insufficient sleep causes more problems than many people may know. Fatigue after a poor night’s sleep might seem like an inconvenience that can be easily rectified, but the long-term effects of insufficient sleep are significant.

According to the National Sleep Foundation, researchers have found a link between insufficient sleep and an elevated risk for type 2 diabetes. In one such study exploring that potential link, researchers asked healthy adults to sleep just four hours per night for six nights. At the conclusion of that period, participants’ ability to break down glucose had decreased by an average of 40 percent and reached levels that are consistent with those of older adults at risk for diabetes.

Insufficient sleep may be linked to any of a host of factors, including one’s bedroom environment. An environment that promotes restful sleep can help people suffering from insomnia or restlessness improve the quality of their sleep.

COLD WEATHER WILDLIFE IN HOMES BOOSTS DISEASE AND PROPERTY DAMAGE RISKS

Many people may practice the “love thy neighbor” creed, but when it comes to four-legged wildlife such as raccoons, squirrels, and opossum that often seek refuge in yards and homes when outdoor temperatures dip and food sources become scarce, they are best kept at an arm’s length. As community development has thinned natural habitats and forced these critters into residential areas and lessened their fears of people, the National Pest Management Association (NPMA) has found that many areas of the country continue to report increased encounters with nuisance wildlife.

“While it can be a unique experience to spot wildlife in neighborhoods, these animals should be discouraged from taking up residence,” advises Missy Henriksen, vice president of public affairs for the NPMA. “Not only can they damage property, many are vectors of disease, most notably rabies.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 40,000 people are exposed to rabies each year, a viral infection passed through the bite and saliva of an infected mammal. Raccoons, foxes, skunks, coyotes and bats are the most commonly reported animals infected with rabies. Because of the risks associated with these pests, homeowners should take

precautions to protect against them.

WAYS TO MAKE HOMES SAFER

Improving traction around the house also can minimize falls. Throw rugs and runners can be made more secure with nonslip rubber backings. Bath rugs can reduce slipping on wet surfaces in the bathroom. Also, nonslip mats can be used inside of showers and bathtubs.

Use shoe trays to reduce puddling from melting snow or rain runoff in entryways. Mop up spills quickly, and consider the use of matteor textured-finished flooring to improve stability underfoot. Promptly remove snow and ice from driveways and walkways. For those who live in cold climates, heated concrete can help melt precipitation before it accumulates.

Carhartt Santa

Courtesy

Thank you to the Carhartt-decked Santa at Aldi yesterday! At least six people in the store received envelopes with a cheery “Merry Christmas” and inside was money! I was one of the lucky customers. It was such a kind gesture. Thank you! Merry Christmas!

Walmart workers

The workers at our local Geneseo Walmart have been so cheerful and helpful throughout this holiday season. Even the ones that are “shoppers” would take the time to check on the location or availability of items. I was there on the 23rd and many were festively dressed – even a green faced Grinch was busy! Thanks to them for making the season a little better for your customers!

Go shopping lately? It’s bad enough with the self-centered drivers, but also those inside the stores. Leaving their cart smack in the middle of a row while they “window shop” a few feet away, then getting mad when someone moves it to pass. Blocking the deli counter waiting to be served. The “joggers” who fly out of a side isle and literally run their carts into others. A family of 5 or 6 blocking the whole aisle, oblivious to people trying to get around them. Don’t forget the two shoppers with carts standing next to each other discussing personal matters. Finally, even though there’s more, you try to be courteous and move off to the side. That draws more attention and they stand there until you move over. They look for whatever, I don’t know, then walk away with nothing. They must believe you’re hiding something standing there. Shoppers need to look further than the tip of their noses.

Puzzle Answers This Week

TO YOUR GOOD HEALTH

By Keith Roach, M.D.

Why the Government Shouldn’t Limit Sodium Intake

DEAR DR. ROACH: I read in a health journal that large amounts of sodium are unhealthy for one’s diet. The government standard is no more than 2,300 mg of sodium per day. If one’s health isn’t so good, some doctors say that their sodium intake shouldn’t be more than 1,500 mg per day. Everything you eat or drink counts.

If consuming sodium is so bad for your health, then why aren’t there limitations in the amount of sodium a company can put into their products? Shouldn’t this be controlled by the federal government, similar to alcohol or numerous other chemicals in food and drinks that we find in cans, boxes and packages? For instance, why should diet soda have sodium in it? -- E.R.

ANSWER: It is true that excess sodium has health risks, and I agree with public health officials in recommending that people consume less sodium. High sodium increases blood pressure levels for most people. Even in people without high blood pressure levels, a high-sodium diet slightly increases stroke risk and predisposes them to kidney stones.

However, sodium is an essential nutrient, and although sodium deficiency is unheard of now, there are conditions where a highsodium diet is important. I recently saw a patient who had POTS (postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome) after COVID, and she needs 8-12 grams of sodium daily to keep her blood pressure up. As a physician, my role is to advise. It’s not for me to dictate public policy, and I worry about the government making regulations about what is a personal choice. Pretzels contain 250-300 mg of sodium in a 1-ounce serving, so a big bag of pretzels might have 5 grams of sodium -- two day’s worth. I’m uncomfortable with the government limiting my ability to buy this, even if it isn’t a good idea for me to consume it all in a day.

On the other hand, I think that the decision made by the Food and Drug Administration in 2015 to ban the use of trans fats was correct. Trans fats are exceedingly unhealthy, and manufacturers quickly switched to heathier options. The decision to ban a substance or limit its use must be made wisely. As far as diet sodas, sodium suppresses the bitter taste that can accompany some artificial sweeteners. A typical diet soda might have 20 mg of sodium (0.02 grams), so those usually aren’t the biggest offenders. On the other hand, a large pizza might have 6-10 grams of sodium.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 73 years old with an extremely large prostate. My PSA reading was over 11 ng/mL. I’ve had negative biopsies, and my new urologist put me on finasteride. He told me that he had great results with it and could cut my cancer risk by 80%. I’ve been taking it for more than six months, and my latest PSA was 4.4 ng/mL. I’m reluctant to keep taking it. What are your thoughts on finasteride? -- H.D.

ANSWER: I agree that finasteride decreases the risk of prostate cancer and death due to prostate cancer. Unfortunately, the data show more of a 25% to 30% decreased risk rather than an 80% risk. If it were 80% successful at stopping prostate cancer, we would be recommending it to all men (in absence of side effects). Still, a decrease in prostate cancer risk is worth considering when it comes to the treatment of symptomatic prostate enlargement. Finally, finasteride reduces PSA levels by about half, which needs to be taken into account when interpreting the PSA level.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2024 North America Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

MAKE THE YEAR AHEAD CLUTTER-FREE

Purchase furniture that doubles as storage. Storage ottomans and benches can help clear common areas and bedrooms of clutter such as blankets and bed linens that can make rooms feel more claustrophobic. Storage furniture might not get excess items out of the house, but such furnishings can create a more comfortable, welcoming environment.

PAW’S CORNER

By Sam Marzotta

CAT’S STRANGE LUMP NEEDS A VET’S CARE

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: I inherited my aunt’s cat, “Tabitha,” late last year. When Tabbi came to live with me, I noticed that she had six toes, but only on one paw. Her other front paw was normal. I thought that was unusual but not dangerous, or my aunt would have done something about it. However, on our first visit to the veterinarian, when I pointed out the toe as a strange genetic anomaly, the vet got very concerned. e “toe” was actually a lump! Tabbi had surgery to remove it. Fortunately, it was benign, and she recovered completely. Please tell your readers to contact the vet when they notice any strange growth. -- Joe in Portland, Oregon

DEAR JOE: ank you for sharing your story! Cats, dogs and other pets can develop strange growths or lumps during their lifetime. It’s not always easy to determine whether a growth is harmless or needs to be removed. e vet will do a needle biopsy and can o en examine the cells under a micro-scope right in their office, so they can report their findings to you almost immediately. Sometimes, they will send a sample to a veterinary pathologist, who can provide a clearer picture of what’s going on with a lump or mass.

Having new lumps and bumps checked out as soon as possible is important, because the vet can treat them while they’re still small, so your pet suffers less pain and discomfort. If a mass turns out to be cancerous, the faster the treatment happens, the better.

So, just as a change in behavior or energy signals that it’s time to visit the vet, a new lump or bump (or any strange new growth) should be checked out as soon as possible.

Here’s A Tip

BYLINE: By JoAnn Derson

* A chef’s trick to keep cooked spinach green is to make sure the pot is not covered while cooking.

* “When cooking shrimp in a bouillon, put them in the freezer for about 10 minutes before cooking. ey will cook up nice and tender. I have had success with this also when grilling. When putting shrimp on a skewer, I use double skewers, which hold about five shrimp. When I thread the skewers side by side, the shrimp are easier to turn over, and they do not spin on the skewer.” -- R.R. in Florida

* To keep cheese blocks moist and mold free, place in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Place a piece of napkin dampened with white vinegar in with the cheese.

Haley Indorato Explores and Reflects Humanity Through Oil Painting

BY SUZIE WELLS

Haley Indorato, a Fairport native and RIT graduate, is carving her path in the art world with a passion for oil painting and an insightful approach to capturing the human experience. Her work is deeply personal and universally resonant, reflecting a profound dedication to the cra and a commitment to truth in representation.

Born in Rochester and raised in Fairport, Haley’s journey began with early exposure to art. She o en painted alongside her father, an FLCC psychology professor and artist himself, and her mother, a Victor Spanish teacher, who fostered her creative pursuits with ample cra and art supplies.

Haley’s talent blossomed further at Fairport High School, where she took many art classes and experimented with an array of media. Encouraged by her teacher, Mrs. Steffer, Haley earned a BFA in Studio Art with a focus on painting at RIT. ere, she credits her artistic growth to several mentors, including RIT professors like Clifford Won, Emily Glass, and Denton Crawford, who helped her refine her technical skills and instilled in her the discipline and work ethic necessary for a successful artistic career.

Haley’s medium of choice is oil paint, a material she describes as “luscious, buttery, and visceral... so tangible and human.” She is captivated by its historical significance and its ability to convey the “fleshiness” of the human condition. Her creative process involves meticulous preparation, from building canvas supports to sketching loose underpaintings before diving into the weton-wet painting technique. Whether it’s life-sized portraits or still-life studies, Haley’s works are infused with painterly spontaneity and deep emotional resonance.

Haley’s art draws inspiration from both historical art and everyday life. She combines these influences to explore themes of reality, truth, and the human condition. “I believe in painting for the sake of painting,” she explains. “It’s an art form with centuries of symbolism and contradiction. I aim to continue and celebrate the long history in my work.”

Her portraits o en feature real, unidealized individuals in everyday settings, challenging the polished, filtered imagery prevalent in digital media. Haley’s subjects are imbued with authenticity, offering a counter-narrative to traditional notions of beauty and representation. “To be human is to be imperfect,” and she tries to capture that in her painting, adding, “Painting for me gets at being human more than any other material.... It’s so human to want to see ourselves and interpret the world around us.”

Among Haley’s favorite works are “ e Couch,” “A Curl for Every Vice,” and “Drawing in the Gallery (CJ),” which showcase her ability

o blend technical mastery with meaningful storytelling. “ e Couch,” a life-sized portrait of her father and brother, captures an unidealized, relatable moment of everyday life. “It’s where I’m most comfortable at my house,” Haley explains. “ at comfort and vulnerability tie into expressing truth for me.” Having “A Curl for Every Vice” accepted into the Memorial Art Gallery’s juried show in 2023 was huge for Haley. And “Drawing in the Gallery” combines high and low arts, combining arts to reflect Haley’s belief that “all art forms are important to study,” as well as “the changing way we interact with art and what is popular in our modern, global world.”

Haley loves to paint the wide array of lifestyles, people, and places around Western NY, with its natural beauty and man-made decay. She has recently branched out to explore opportunities through the Rochester Artist Collaborative and says she’d love to collaborate and explore opportunities. “Rochester is a really symbolic place as a subject, but I probably need to live somewhere like NYC to show in galleries that can accommodate my work.”

Haley’s advice to budding artists is straightforward: “Just keep making. Practice is essential if you want to improve.” She emphasizes the importance of studying art, taking risks, and being both critical and vulnerable in one’s creative journey, saying, “Learn the rules and acquire the skills so you can break and go against them.”

With aspirations of solo exhibitions, an MFA, and a professional studio, Haley is determined to leave her mark on the art world. Her work – rooted in authenticity, technical skill, and a profound exploration of the human condition – continues to evolve, promising an exciting future for this emerging artist.

HOW BUSINESSES CAN EXPRESS APPRECIATION FOR EMPLOYEES

Offer non-monetary perks. Many employers show their appreciation through raises or monetary gifts but the funds may not be there in tight economic times. That doesn’t mean there aren’t other perks to explore. For example, reward work done well or special company milestones with a reserved parking spot close to the door, an extra paid day off of work of the employee’s choosing, or early dismissal.

REALIZING GOALS IN THE YEAR AHEAD

Keeptrackofyourprogress.Keep a resolutions journal or start a blog that allows you to write about your efforts. If your goal is to pay down debt, make a spreadsheet that tracks your progress. That spreadsheet might be more motivational than simply seeing a loan or credit cardbalancegraduallyreduceon your monthly statement. Writing about your trials and errors can help others and also provide a great way for you to explore your approach and tinker with it to ensureyourultimatesuccess.
