Huh? What did you say? Would you mind saying that again? I SAID... May is Better Speech and Hearing Month!
When was the last time you asked someone to repeat what they said because you didn't hear them? Since speech patterns are often developed in childhood and may be diagnosed at a younger age, we will look at the more prominent problem of hearing loss this month.
Many of us are unaware that we may have a hearing loss since it often comes on gradually, allowing us to become accustomed to it over a period of time. Of course, it may come on more more rapidly, suggesting there is a sudden problem. Hearing loss is typically categorized by the portion of the auditory system that is damaged.

This terrific trio makes them particularly valuable for heart health, healthy pregnancy, and keeping the immune system in good working order.
Here are two of her favorite recipes to boost your health with asparagus.
