The calorie free treats were a real hit!
The group of former class room teachers who gather three to four times a year to score papers for the school district’s writing assessment often find themselves doing a lot of sharing. They share home baked goods, recommendations for books and movie, and on this particular day, earring backs. During the morning announcement time one of the scorers announced that in her effort to purchase replacement earring backs for a couple of pair of her favorite pieces of jewelry she had made a rather large purchase. She found exactly the kind of no slip plastic backs that she was looking for, but could only order them in a package that contained 1000 pieces. As a result, she was putting a container back on the snack area, along with some plastic zip lock bags so everyone could grab as many as they wanted.
The announcement that these treats were calories free got quite the laugh in the last few minutes when the team began the scoring process. By lunch, the conversations picked up again quickly and the group discussed everything from summer vacation plans to ashwagandha supplements to weekly dinner menu ideas. Never at a shortage for topics of conversation, this group loves to get together. Nearly all retired, but some still subbing, the team of professional scorers often spend a good deal of time talking about diet and exercise, as well as other healthy habits.
Ashwagandha Herbal Supplements and Other Nutrition Store Finds Are Increasingly Popular
Whether you are with a group of teachers or family members, it is not unusual for the conversation to turn to diet and exercise. And if you are part of a crowd that is trying to get away from too many prescriptions and complicated medical remedies it is likely that you have often talked about the benefits of many natural herbs and supplements. Ashwagandha, for instance, has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects and relax the central nervous system in animals. This supplement that is sometimes called Indian ginseng is considered a tonic with multiple properties. One of the conditions that so many people have to worry about as they age is joint pain and accompanying inflammation. Joints are where two or more bones come together and connect, and as people age the cartilage between these bones can deteriorate and lead to pain. For many people, the use of natural herbs and supplements can lessen inflammation and decrease pain. The global wellness industry is currently worth $3.7 trillion, and herbs and supplements are part of this increasing number.
