We scanned an article in Prevention written by a health professional who ate broccoli every day for a week. She noticed many immediate benefits and suggested there were also many less obvious attributes. We noted that after day four she reported “broccoli fatigue”. It took that long?
Feeling a little fatigued? AARP has some quick fixes that might help. Drink some water to fight fatiguing dehydration. Step outside and connect with nature. Walk. Even a three minute walk can help.

Stan Laurel (born June 16, 1890, Ulverston, England—died February 23, 1965, Santa Monica, California, U.S.) was an English comedic film actor best known as half of the legendary Laurel and Hardy team.

Tasting Table has an interesting article you can read here about perking up the flavor of cheaper beer. What with rising prices and more increases likely to come, budget beer made better has some appeal. The basic idea is to add various cocktail bitters to the beer. It’s not a new idea but one worth pursuing. Not for us but maybe for others. We’re going to continue spending the few extra bucks and grab a craft beer like Georgetown’s Bodhizafa IPA.
