Phil Good had the thought for the day. We hear constant claims that our current political environment is like nothing we’ve ever experienced before with vicious personal attacks, extreme partisanship and of course “fake news’.  One the Press, on partisan attacks and on personal character attacks (even within his own party).  Sound familiar?  Our second President and founding father – John Adams during his reelection campaign of 1800 (218 years ago)!

 

A.J. Sheridan, President of SURF – presented a check to Ida Kendall and her mother Edith for $2000 to support the Anne Roberts Memorial Library.  This shows the great cooperation between Sunup and Prescott Rotary and the matching grant from Rotary International.

 

Great Extractions: Rusty Parker was Sarge and he rushed us for time. Neal paid for his horrible pirate joke about the 1^st day with the hook and then everyone had to put in a buck and it was over.  We surely lost money this day as our speaker finished at 7:45.

 

Our Speaker for Last Meeting was Mary Treasuer, registered dietetic technician at Yavapai Regional Medical Center, gave us a lecture on inflammation and how it is the root of all evil.  She talked about an Anti inflammatory diet being the indicator of illness.  Acute inflammation is short lived, Chronic inflammation is long term and it is the failure of the bodies immune system. 

 

Nutrients play a key rol in reducing inflammation.  Bad nutrients are excessive caloric intake, dietary carbohydrate intake, too much sugar, trans fatty acids and saturated fatty acids.  Good nutrients are Omega 3, EPA & DHA fish oil, chia seeds, walnuts etc, ascorbic acid, vitamin C, Vitamin E and Pre and probiotics. Make your plate plant-centric, favor quality fats,swap refined grains and sugars for higher-fiber whole grains and nourish your gut microbiome with prebiotics and probiotics with meals to help enhance digestion and contribute to a healthy gastrointestinal (GI) tract.
