Joint pain can really be bothersome in the winter months, especially for the elderly.  Experts recommend an intake of fresh vegetables and fruits such as carrots, cucumbers, and radishes; even a glass of fruit juice can be beneficial.   Garlic can be helpful as well as taking ginger extract or lemon with one teaspoon of honey morning and night.  Also, having a massage with lavender oil will help relieve pain in your joints.

We appreciate Ava Assembly of God Church, Ava Beverage and Ava Building Supply for being a corporate sponsor.

We appreciate the Library Board for their donation to our salad bar.

Until next week, have a good one!
