Members also learned about the harm of inflammation, which may cause fatigue, fever and joint pain, balance issues, brain fog, eye problems, flu-like symptoms, gastrointestinal problems, insulin resistance, muscle weakness and skin issues. Inflammation can be caused by significant injuries, poor diet of processed or sugary foods, excessive consumption of red meat, poor sleep and being sedentary. Fatty fish, a variety of fruits and vegetables, consistent exercise, a good night’s sleep and plenty of water can ease or help prevent the inflammation. People are reminded to contact their primary care physician before making any assumptions regarding their health.
Wa-Rite supports its members in building camaraderie through contests, songs, cash prizes, weekly swap meet table, crowns, parties, informational presentations and occasional funny money auctions.
