The number of new dementia cases is expected to double from now until the year 2060. As we age, there are things you can do to help prevent, or delay, dementia. A professor with the University of Minnesota School of Nursing says about half of dementia cases can be prevented or delayed just by making some simple life changes. Professor Dereck Salisbury says your risk of developing dementia can be changed and the most important thing you can do first is start exercising.

We don't typically see these kinds of cases here in the U.S., but there is an active outbreak in the south and southwest mostly in cattle. New World Screwworm is a parasitic fly that feeds on the flesh of warm-blooded animals and people and then can lay eggs in the wounds. When those babies hatch, they feed on more flesh. Texas has had the majority of cases in cattle, but there was also a dog infected in New Mexico. Shelters there are being extra cautious to stop any spread.

Now that summer is almost here, you might be working on your yard, but that could come at a cost. These are some pretty simple tips, but they are good things to keep in mind. And yard work can be great for your body and soul if you watch your back. "Gardening has significant impact on our backs. We're putting ourselves in position where we're making it very susceptible to getting hurt," said Dr. Osama Kashlan, a neurosurgeon at the Cleveland Clinic.
