Submitted by paula on Sat, 08/07/2021 - 3:43pm
Summertime living is easy—but for your heart, and with Tahoe daytime temperatures nearing 100 degrees lately, the warmest season of the year can be a challenge.
Dehydration, heat exhaustion and heatstroke can be a concern for people with heart trouble—especially heart failure. That’s because your heart may have difficulty pumping blood to your skin, where heat is released. Sweating helps you cool off, but your medication may make it harder to sweat, too.
As the thermometer remains high, keep these tips in mind for heart-healthy living this summer.

Road Beat: Review ~ 2021 Lexus RC F is past its expiration date
Submitted by paula on Sat, 08/07/2021 - 11:44am
I expected to love the RC F, but I was wrong.
I disliked this car. How could I possibly mean that, though, when the machine in question is a gorgeous shade of exotic yellow, has carbon fiber strewn all about, and has a naturally-aspirated V8 with nearly 500 horsepower? The spec list is arousing to say the least, but when boiled down to the brass tacks, time and lacking performance have taxed the RC F into an artifact maybe best left untouched.

Column: Spot signs of concussion
Submitted by paula on Fri, 08/06/2021 - 11:43am
A concussion is a type of TBI caused by a bump, blow or jolt to the head that can change the way your brain normally works. Concussions can also occur from a blow to the body that causes the head to move rapidly back and forth, as in whiplash. Even what seems to be a mild bump or blow to the head can be serious if it causes a concussion.
Kids who play contact sports are often at risk for concussion, which can put sports—and life—on hold. Concussions can cause a range of short- and long-term problems, and they can affect thinking and memory, vision, balance, language, and emotions.
