Longevity Tip of the Day
Stay proactive about your health—don’t wait for your annual checkup. Catching potential issues early makes a big difference. An English study found that fewer than 60% of people with recent unusual symptoms saw a doctor. Look out for signs like unexplained weight loss, fever, fatigue, or changes in bowel or bladder habits. Other red flags could include rough, dark skin (possibly linked to diabetes) or a strange tongue color (indicating acid reflux). Staying aware can help you address concerns early.
Slang Phrase of the Day
Phrase: Camp
Meaning: Something that is oddly fashionable in an exaggerated or playful way, often in a way that's intentionally over the top. For example, Crocs have become a popular example of this trend.
In a sentence: Crocs have become an example of the "camp" trend, where something a little quirky and unusual becomes unexpectedly fashionable.
