CNB Hunting/Fishing Pennsylvania: Deer on the Move, Motorist Use Caution

(Photo credit: Jacob Dingel)

With deer becoming increasingly active, and daylight saving time soon to put more vehicles on the road during the hours when deer move most, the Pennsylvania Game Commission is advising motorists to slow down and stay alert.

Deer become more active in autumn with the lead-up to their fall breeding season, commonly referred to as the “rut.” Around this time, many yearling bucks disperse from the areas in which they were born and travel, sometimes several dozen miles, to find new ranges. Meanwhile, adult bucks more often are cruising their home ranges in search of does, and they sometimes chase the does they encounter.

This National Diabetes Month, care for your health after gestational diabetes

 

Statement from Dr. Griffin P. Rodgers, (photo) director, NIDDK.

 

Up to one in every 10 pregnancies in the United States is affected by gestational diabetes, a type of diabetes found for the first time when a woman is pregnant. This National Diabetes Month, join the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases — part of the National Institutes of Health — and communities around the country by promoting health after gestational diabetes. By raising awareness that women with a history of gestational diabetes have a lifelong risk for developing type 2 diabetes, we hope to help women take steps to care for their health for years to come.

Although gestational diabetes usually goes away after the baby is born, many women who develop gestational diabetes are not aware of the need for follow-up testing for diabetes. Yet research has shown that high blood glucose (sugar) during pregnancy can have lifelong health effects — for both the mother and her baby.

Philadelphia Welcomes the Newest Smoothie on the Block – the CBD Oil Smoothie

 

PHILADELPHIA, PA (November 1, 2018)(CNBNewsnet)--The smoothie industry is getting a real shake up thanks to the latest offering at Fuel Restaurants in Philadelphia as the brand-new CBD oil smoothie debuts. This particular smoothie is generating all kinds of buzz and interest as the restaurant looks to fulfill its goal of providing healthy, fresh, and fast dining options.

These CBD infused smoothies are meant to give customers a way to nourish their mental and physical well-being in a tasty refreshing beverage.

Fuel Restaurant Striving to Make Its Mark

As Fuel Restaurant's president Rocco Cima comments, this isn't the first time the chain has looked to make a mark. In fact, rather than be a follower in the restaurant business, Fuel Restaurants have always strived to be a trendsetter.

Cima credits this new smoothie to the fact that CBD oil and edibles are becoming more mainstream and people are realizing the incredible health benefits CBD offers. With some calling it a whole new superfood, Cima felt it was time to include it in smoothies.

Fuel Restaurants are the very first in all of Philadelphia to offer CBD oil infused smoothies, and it has the exclusive distribution rights in partnership with a national distributor. His plans don't start and end with the smoothie though, as there are other CBD oil infused drink and food options set to debut too.

Even though Cima won't make any medical claims regarding the smoothie, there is plenty of research that shows CBD oil can help people to better manage and cope with depression, stress, anxiety, and more.
