Are you thinking of adding supplements to your diet? While supplements can be helpful in some cases, they can be a very slippery slope, and users must proceed with caution, one registered dietitian nutritionist says.
Jamie Lee McIntyre, a dietitian and nutrition consultant at JamieLeeRDN.com, says she sees more interest in supplementation every January with people’s New Year’s resolutions. But there is also a year-round curiosity, she says, especially since the pandemic began, making it even more important to understand the risks and rewards associated with them.
Folks with sleep apnea are typically prescribed a CPAP machine to help them get a good night’s sleep, but there’s an alternative to the clunky, noisy devices that is growing in popularity.

During his HIANG career, George flew F-102 Delta Daggers, F-4C Phantoms and F-15C Eagles. A great pilot.

Where’s your favorite fried rice? Our plan was to put up a reader poll asking this very question, but with so many choices across the island, we asked our Frolic Foodies Facebook group first. Good to narrow down the choices, we thought. What actually happened: We got too many choices!
The responses were eye-opening and from nearly every corner of O‘ahu. Of course Side Street Inn, renowned for its humongous classic, was up there. More surprising were places we didn’t even know served fried rice. Within hours, our query Tuesday afternoon had so many responses that we knew a reader poll was out of the question.

If there was any remaining doubt that crypto had tipped into the mainstream, Super Bowl LVI in February flushed it away. Mixed in among million-dollar ads for pickup trucks and light beer were several commercials from crypto companies — firms and websites inviting the masses to join the exciting new world of Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets.

The ads, priced at up to $7 million each, were aimed at the majority of Americans – about 84 percent, according to a November 2021 survey by the Pew Research Center — that had not yet dabbled in the cryptocurrency space.

When older adults seek guidance about using cannabis for medical purposes, they will find lots of information online — much of it contradictory, confusing and just plain wrong. And it may be difficult to find a medical professional to offer useful advice.
“It’s the wild, wild west out there,” says Dr. Peter Grinspoon, a primary care physician and medical cannabis specialist in Boston. Those who want to use medical cannabis safely need to be their own sheriff.
