Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:38 GMT

(CNN) — Según un estudio reciente, los adultos mayores que tomaron un complejo multivitamínico a diario durante tres años experimentaron una leve mejora de su memoria al cabo de un año, en comparación con las personas que tomaron un placebo, o pastilla de azúcar.Al inicio del estudio, se pidió a 3.560 adultos mayores de 60 años que aprendieran 20 palabras en un programa de cómputo. Los participantes en el estudio disponían de tres segundos para estudiar cada palabra antes de que apareciera la siguiente. Inmediatamente después, se pidió a los participantes que teclearan todas las palabras que pudieran recordar.Al final del primer año, el estudio descubrió que las personas que seguían tomando un multivitamínico diario eran capaces de recordar, de media, casi una palabra más que quienes tomaban un placebo. Aunque el efecto fue pequeño, fue estadísticamente significativo, según el estudio publicado este miércoles en la revista académica The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.S...

LITTLETON, Colo. (KDVR) — A Littleton man is hoping to track down two heroes he credits for saving his life after having a seizure in a local gym hot tub 10 days ago.The incident happened on Mother’s Day around 5:30 p.m. at the Chuze Fitness jacuzzi. Chip Hart told FOX31 he wants to do more than thank his heroes on TV for saving his life. He hopes his story can help track them down so he can share that gratitude in person.“It's been an emotional week,” Hart said. “I am just glad to feel alive.”Hart has epilepsy and has a special implant that’s helped him avoid seizures for several years. However, on Mother’s Day evening while wrapping up a relaxing jacuzzi dip at his gym, his head started to turn and his body quickly went stiff.“This is the scariest seizure that I've had. I’ve dealt with them for 40 years all my life,” Hart said. “I had enough time to tell myself, 'oh crud,' but I knew I didn’t have enough time to do anything, by then it had my body.” High schooler celebrated...

DeNiro meets the parents – again in ‘About My Father’

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:38 GMT

MOVIE REVIEW“About My Father”Rated PG-13. At the AMC Boston Common, AMC South Bay and suburban theaters..Grade: BAlthough its title evokes Pedro Almodovar’s 1999 Oscar-winner “All About My Mother,” Robert De Niro’s comedy vehicle “About My Father” is more like a variation on a theme of the 2000 De Niro-starring hit “Meet the Parents.” Featuring De Niro as Chicago hairdresser Salvo Maniscalco, a part played by Tony Danza in the 2016 Maniscalco effort “Sebastian Says,” “About My Father” starts out as a story heavily narrated by son-of-immigrants Sebastian Maniscalco (himself). Sebastian’s mother and father came from Italy to America, we learn, where they raised their son. The mother has recently died and Sebastian and his father are all that is left of the family. Afraid that her country club-approved, hotel chain-owning family disapproves of his modest Italian immigrant background, Sebastian both fears the prospect and longs to meet his girlfriend Ellie Collins̵...

Editorial: Beacon Hill keeps taxpayers in the dark

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:38 GMT

Transparency is a four-letter word on Beacon Hill.The state Legislature’s closed-door dealings are an open secret, as its actions reveal lawmakers prefer doing the people’s business as far away from the people as possible.This storied secrecy prompted Auditor Diana DiZoglio to launch the first audit of the state Legislature in over a century.“We hope this will increase transparency, accountability and equity in an area of state government that has been completely ignored. Historically, the Legislature has been a closed-door operation, where committee votes have been hidden from the general public, and legislation has been voted on in the dark of night,” DiZoglio said in a statement.DiZoglio isn’t alone in aiming a slingshot at Goliath. This week Gloucester state Sen. Bruce Tarr offered an amendment to the upper chamber’s fiscal 2024 spending plan in a bid to increase transparency by requiring every one of the state’s at least 42 public adjacent agencies to post the...

McCaughey: Shoplifters hurt us all – time to lock them up

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:38 GMT

Brazen shoplifting is hurting all of us.I’m brushing with bubble gum-flavored children’s toothpaste because it takes too long to get a clerk at the pharmacy to unlock the adult toothpaste. Before the shoplifting scourge, shoppers could actually browse and read product labels.Target, Home Depot and other retailers announced last week that they are taking big hits to their profits because of double-digit increases in theft nationwide.That’s after hiking prices on consumers. When the guy next to you loads a bag with whatever merchandise isn’t locked up and walks out without paying, keep in mind that you’re paying for his stolen stuff.Stores are fleeing San Francisco, Los Angeles, New York City, Chicago and Portland, cities that soft-on-crime mayors and district attorneys have made into shoplifter’s paradises. Downtown San Francisco is slated to lose Nordstrom and Saks OFF 5TH. Anthropologie and Whole Foods have already fled. That means lost jobs and ...

Lucas: The grass & cash is greener for immigrants in America

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:38 GMT

The U.S. should do what the British do – pay migrants to go back home.Instead, the U.S. pays migrants to stay.Why not? In addition to all the free stuff migrants get after crossing the border — free food, free clothes, free health care, free transportation, free housing, free schools, free phones — California now wants to pay immigrants without work authorization $300 a week.Soon they will be casting ballots.So, sending people back with cash might not work out so well since everything is free in America.But it is still worth a try since nothing else seems to work in stemming the immigrant surge in the U.S., especially as Commander in Chaos Joe Biden does not want anything to work.Besides, nobody who fled Haiti, Cuba, Venezuela, China or other countries wants to go back.Under a deal worked out between the UK and Albania to “deter and disrupt illegal immigration,” the Brits are paying Albanians living illegally in the UK the equivalent of $1,864 to return home on free depo...

Dive into summer in great swimsuits

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 03:48:38 GMT

Where did the time go – it’s bathing suit season already. This year, finding a suit that fits just right and looks great is easy. I’ve rounded up some of the most flattering suits out there, from tankinis and one-pieces to one-shoulder designs and yes, even a couple of bikinis. Because while looking good is nice, it’s really about feeling good.One-piece suitsSupported and sexy: Color blocking is a huge swimwear trend this season, and The Marina ($95 on summersalt.com) is right on-point. With built-in cups in a slight V-neck design and adjustable straps, it provides comfortable structure and makes you look like a million bucks. The higher-cut hip line elongates legs, and the diagonal seaming accentuates waists. Meanwhile, the material is thick and tight, so you feel snug and properly held in.Softly nautical (and sustainable): Ookioh is a terrific brand for simple and sweet designs. They also source their fabrics from an Italian mill that uses 100% regenerated materials “l...
