The Spotlight:
Time to Update your Records.. Again?  Tired of that messy address book filled with crossed out addresses and telephone numbers every time someone moves?. Hate investing in a new one and spending valuable time moving the information from the old book to the new one just to have the new one in a shambles as time goes by?. Save time and money with our affordable, attractive Erasable Telephone and Address Book. It features two sets of pages per letter and comes with extra pages plus a special writing pen. That is plenty of space for the average person. Writing can be removed with either alcohol or nail polish remover without harming the surface of the page. The book has a lovely printed, wipe off cover and slips into its own box. A great gift for Mom, Dad, Grandma, Grandpa or even yourself.
Nutrition and Alzheimer's:  Almost 40% of Alzheimer's patients experience significant weight loss. A study out of Boston University suggests that the weight loss is due in part to the loss of the ability to distinguish contrast between colors.
People with Alzheimer's are not able to distinguish light colored food and drink on or in typically light colored tableware. When using tableware that offered a high contrast to the food and drink (i.e.: bright red and bright blue), researchers noticed that the participants in the study increased their food intake by 24% and liquid intake by 84% (1). -
