THE DANGERS OF BELLY FAT

What’s so bad about belly fat? Seeing belly fat as a merely cosmetic concern overlooks the effects it has on overall health.According to the Mayo Clinic,belly fat is not limited to the extra layer of padding just below the skin known as subcutaneous fat. Belly fat also includes visceral fat,which means it extends to deep inside the abdomen and surrounds internal organs. Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that visceral fat in the belly is very close to the liver, which can turn it into cholesterol. From there, the fat goes through the bloodstream and may collect along the walls of the arteries, potentially contributing to a hardening and narrowing of the arteries known as atherosclerosis. The complications of atherosclerosis depends on which arteries are affected, but they can include an assortment of diseases that affect the arteries and a greater risk for aneurysms and chronic kidney disease.

Johns Hopkins Medicine notes that visceral fat is just as harmful for the heart as high blood pressure and smoking. So while efforts to reduce belly fat may initially be embraced to improve appearance, individuals should know that reducing fat in their midsections also can reduce their risk for a host of conditions,some of which are deadly.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I am a male who is 58 years of age. I recently had an MRI of my cervical spine, and just this month, I had a CT scan of my whole abdomen. Since then, I have had symptoms of dry eyes, weight loss and insomnia. I wondered if the contrast dye used for the MRI or CT scan can cause hyperthyroidism, as these are common symptoms for excess thyroid hormone. Do you think that I have hyperthyroidism? --

G.L.

Q. A. Man Experiences Symptoms of Excess Thyroid After MRI

ANSWER: You are quite right that all these symptoms are commonly seen in people with excess thyroid. The weight loss is due to the increased metabolism of people with excess thyroid hormone. Insomnia is also common for similar reasons. Palpitations, tremor, anxiety, frequent bowel movements, and heat intolerance are all classical symptoms of excess thyroid hormone.

You are also right that the iodine-containing dye from CT scans can precipitate hyperthyroidism in a person who is destined to get it.However,the risk of this occurring is low. There is no increased risk of thyroid disease with MRI dye.

You could, indeed, have hyperthyroidism, and if you saw your doctor, you would very likely be tested. (I would certainly do so if I had a patient with these symptoms.) My experience is that these symptoms are not specific to thyroid disease, and it is probably some other cause. So, I would not be surprised if your thyroid tests were normal.

DEAR DR. ROACH: I recently got married again after being single for six years and have had five urinary tract infections (UTIs) in 14 months. My primary care doctor, a urogynecologist, and a urologist have all agreed on estradiol cream. I was basically put on this treatment for a prolapsed bladder and to build up my vaginal walls since I am sexually active again.

After reading your recent column about hormone replacement therapy (HRT) in older women, I am concerned since I underwent menopause 20 years ago (instead of under 10) and just started this treatment two months ago.

I might add that I had not had a UTI for 50 years prior, but vaginal dryness may be contributing to these UTIs. My doctor has not recommended a progestin, but I have also been introduced to taking a cranberry supplement once a day in tablet form to keep bacteria from multiplying.

Would you have recommended the same treatment knowing that I have not had a period for 20 years? -- L.E.

ANSWER: The risks from estrogen replacement in postmenopausal women are from systemic estrogen -- meaning estrogen that gets absorbed into the blood. This includes estrogen pills and patches.

Q. A.

Topical estrogen, such as vaginal creams, rings and gels, are not wellabsorbed in the body and do not significantly increase the risk of heart disease, which is the major reason that I recommended caution to women who underwent menopause more than 10 years ago.

Similarly, progestins need to be used in women with a uterus when they’re taking systemic estrogen -- but not topical estrogen. (Topical estrogen is absorbed slightly in women with atrophy of the vaginal lining, so it is always worth a consultation with an oncologist for women with estrogen-sensitive tumors, such as breast cancer.)

I don’t generally advise systemic HRT more than 10 years postmenopause, but there still may be some times when it’s appropriate after a thorough discussion between a woman and her doctor. In your case, however, the risk of heart disease, breast cancer or blood clots is negligible from topical estrogen.

Dr. Roach regrets that he is unable to answer individual questions, but will incorporate them in the column whenever possible. Email questions to ToYourGoodHealth@med.cornell.edu. © 2026 King Features Synd., Inc. All Rights Reserved

HOW EVERYDAY PEOPLE CAN CUT ENERGY CONSUMPTION

Install a low-flow shower head. The U.S. Department of Energy recommends that eco-conscious consumers looking to reduce their energy consumption install lowflow shower heads with flow rates less than 2.5 gallons per minute. This is especially important for people living in homes with dated fixtures. Water fixtures installed before 1992 might have flow rates as high as 5.5 gallons per minute, which is both wasteful and costly. Test the flow of a shower head by placing a one-gallon bucket beneath a shower head running at the pressure you normally use. If the bucket fills up in less than 20 seconds, install a

shower head.

EXPLORING SOLAR ELECTRICITY

Solar panels are seen more and more on roofs of residential homes and even some businesses. Due in part to more aggressive marketing by solar energy companies, as well as greater awareness by customers, solar energy has become increasingly popular in recent years.

The Solar Energy Industries Association® reports that solar energy in the United States is booming. The association offers that, since the passage of The Solar Investment Tax Credit in 2006, solar has experienced a compound annual growth rate of more than 60 percent.

While many might assume that environmental preservation is the driving force behind the growing popularity of solar energy, it’s actually the financial benefits of solar energy that are leading the way. One Block Off the Grid polled nearly 200 solar homeowners to learn more about their motivations for going solar. Roughly 75 percent would not have gone solar if there was no economic benefit to doing so. A number of people who have switched to solar say they are getting a high rate of return on the investment. The average electricity bill a person saw prior to solar energy hovered around $177 a month. After the conversion, bills were now as low as $55.

RESOLVE TO WEAR CLOTHES THAT FIT IN THE YEAR AHEAD

Bra measurements are hard to come by, no doubt thanks in part to the nature of getting measured in such an intimate area of the body. But considering undergarments set the foundation for all clothing worn on top, this is one of the more important measurements to verify. Enlist the help of a friend or family member to make measurements go more smoothly.

WHAT TO KNOW ABOUT CAT REPRODUCTION

Cat pet parents must be especially diligent in their quest to squelch reproduction to help control cat populations. According to The Spruce: Pets, female cats that are not spayed will come into estrus (heat) as early as age four months. The animal health resource BondVet says a cat can go into heat as often as every two to three weeks. Generally, though, cats are seasonal breeders, indicates the United Kingdom-based RSPCA, which means heat cycles slow down in autumn. Another thing to note is that cats do not enter menopause like people and other animals. That means a female cat can continue to reproduce well into her senior years.

DID YOU KNOW? According to the U.S. Department of Labor and data from the U.S. Census Bureau, registered nurse is the most common occupation for women in the United States labor force. Slightly less than 2.1 million women worked as registered nurses in 2017, the most recent year for which statistics are available. Such figures are harder to come by in regard to Canada, but Statista reports that the labor participation rate among women in Canada in 2018 was right around 64 percent. That rate marks a slight decrease from its 21st century peak in 2005, when 66.7 percent of women were active members of the Canadian workforce. In the United States, more than two million women worked as secretaries or administrative assistants in 2017, making these professions the second most common occupation among female workers. Elementary and middle school teachers was the third most common occupation for female professionals, employing more than 1.9 million women in 2017. Data from the U.S. Census Bureau also indicates that women have the lion’s share of jobs in an assortment of professions, including preschool and kindergarten teachers, secretaries and administrative assistants, childcare workers, and dental assistants. Women hold at least 92 percent of the jobs in each of those professions in the United States.

en it’s time to change

doctors

Now and then, not too often but sometimes, you hear that audible click and come to the realization that you need to change doctors. Maybe it’s because once again you don’t feel like your doctor is really listening to your concerns. Maybe it’s because once again tests are ordered without you getting a clear explanation about why they’re necessary. Maybe it’s because your health concern doesn’t seem to be getting better. Maybe it’s because you see the physician assistant (PA) when you expect to see the doctor. Or maybe it’s just because you have a gut feeling you should go elsewhere.

Aging Well With Exercise

You can get better and stronger at any age. Research shows that an appropriate exercise program can improve your muscle strength and flexibility as you age. Progressive resistance training, where muscles are exercised against resistance that gets more difficult as strength improves, has been shown to help prevent frailty.

Your bones want you to exercise. Osteoporosis, or weak bones, affects more than half of Americans over the age of 54. Exercises that keep you on your feet, like walking, jogging or dancing, and exercises using resistance such as weight lifting, can improve bone strength or reduce bone loss.

Whatever the reason, if the time comes to make a change, it won’t be easy if you’ve been with your current doctor for a long time.

Your first step, once you’ve decided to do this, is to “interview” another doctor. You’ll need to call around to see who’s taking new patients or inquire among friends for recommendations. Then check out the doctor online with reviews by other people. Look at Healthgrades (www.healthgrades.com). Or do an online search with the doctor’s name.

Be sure the doctor is in your insurance network and make an appointment. Go in with a written list of questions and make notes.

When you find a doctor you’d like to see in the future, you’ll need to have your records transferred from the old doctor.

And that’s where I part company with advice I was given. I’m told that it’s best to transfer your records to a new doctor before you go to the first appointment. You’ll need to decide for yourself. My preference was to meet the doctor first before records were transferred, and to not let the current medical practice know I was leaving until I was certain.

If you find the right doctor, the difficulty will be worth it.

DID YOU KNOW?

Parents who want to encourage their children to volunteer may find their efforts at doing so are more convincing if they volunteer themselves. A 2013 study published in the Journal of Adolescence examined the effects that parents who volunteer and talk about volunteering have on children. Researchers found that the children of volunteers were 27 percent more likely to volunteer than children whose parents did not volunteer. In addition, adolescents were 47 percent more likely to volunteer when their parents volunteered and talked about volunteering with their children.

Hiking with Dogs

DEAR PAW’S CORNER: My 1-year-old puppy, “Duke,” is superactive and loves the snow. Just walking him around the block isn’t enough to dispel his energy, so I’d like to take him on a hike each week. Do you think he’s ready for it at this age? – Billy in Claremont, New Hampshire

DEAR BILLY: At a year old, Duke is ready for short hikes. Depending on his breed, size and tolerance for cold, he may be able to handle longer periods, but you’ll need to evaluate that by taking him out for gradually longer hikes.

As with any winter hike, whether with dogs or alone, safety and awareness are paramount. Duke needs cold-weather gear, paw protection, and food and water to keep him energized and producing his own heat. Here are a few tips.

– Start small: Keep the first hikes short, less than a mile out and back. Gradually increase the distance. Turn around if Duke starts hesitating, whining or shivering.

– Be prepared: Pack separate food, water, pickup bags and first aid for your dog. Make sure Duke wears a collar with his ID tags attached.

– Communicate: Tell someone where you’re going and when you’ll be back.

– Check conditions first: Check the weather, but also contact the park or message a local hiking group to find out what shape the trail is in.

– Follow park regulations: Review rules for hiking with pets on state or federal lands.

– Don’t push the limits: Turn back well before your dog (or you) starts to get cold or exhausted. Avoid potential dangers like frozen lakes or avalanche zones.

After the hike, before driving home, dry your dog’s coat and check his paws for packed snow or frostbite. Put a warm doggy sweater on him for the ride home.

FAMILY-FRIENDLY WINTER ACTIVITIES

Sledding: Sledding may remind adults of their childhoods and turn kids’ snow days into fun afternoons they will never forget. Kids can seemingly ride their sleds and toboggans down snowy hills all day long, but even parents get a kick out of racing kids downhill or sharing a sled with their youngsters. While older kids can typically handle sleds on their own, parents should ride along with toddlers to prevent falls and handle steering duties. When sledding, keep a close eye for any signs that suggest kids might be getting too cold, such as shivering or clothes that are soaked through.

Winter

By Joanie Hastings

I loved to play in the snow as a child

Build snowmen ,snow forts and sled down Tiger Hill

I’d lay on my back to create a snow angel

And getting a snow day off from school was a thrill!

I’d go ice skating on the frozen Flint Creek

And on the pond behind my grandma’s house

All you’d hear was the sound of my blades on the ice e world around me was quiet as a mouse’

Now I am grown up and if the weather is bad

I can choose to stay inside if I do not need to go to a store

I look out the window and recall the fun times at I had in the snow as a child once more! poem of the week

Recognize that everyone feels differently. Grief is expressed in many different ways. What one person experiences may not be the norm for another. You may go through a variety of emotions, from anger at the circumstances and being left without your loved one, to guilt if you believe there may have been something more you could have done to prolong your loved one’s life. Mourn in your own way, and afford others the same opportunity.

Bambi L. Weber January 15, 2026

Bambi L. Weber, age 55, of Wayland, passed away peacefully on ursday, January 15, 2026, surrounded by the love and comfort of her family. Her passing leaves a profound emptiness in the hearts of all who knew her, but also a legacy of kindness, dedication, and unwavering love for her family and community.

Bambi was born on February 24, 1970, in Dansville, the beloved daughter of the late Frederick C. and Mary Ellen (Rhodes) Butterfield. From an early age, Bambi possessed a warm spirit and genuine compassion for others—qualities that would define her life and the way she touched so many people.

Bambi proudly worked at the Wayland Foodmart for 33 years, working her way up to the Store Manager, where she was much more than a familiar face behind the register. She was a constant presence in the community, greeting customers with her friendly smile, remembering names, sharing stories, and always making others feel welcome. Her dedication, strong work ethic, and heartfelt care for people made her a true pillar of the Wayland community.

Bambi had a deeply kind and generous soul. She loved animals wholeheartedly, especially her cherished grand-dogs, Doc and Radar, who brought her immense joy and companionship. She treasured time spent with her husband, Mark, particularly their drives together— most especially during the Christmas season, when she delighted in viewing holiday lights. ese quiet moments together were among her happiest.

Family was at the center of Bambi’s world. She was a devoted wife,

For the last 26 years, Dick and Mary spent six months each winter in Florida, a tradition they truly cherished. Much of that time was enjoyed in their RV, and over the years, they worked their way up from smaller RVs to the motorhome they loved most, which they affectionately and humorously called “the Big-Ass Motorhome.” It became a big part of their winter life, and a source of many good memories and stories.

A lifelong lover of country music, especially bluegrass, Dick began playing in bands in his late teens and never lost that spark. Whether performing, picking, or simply jamming with his buddies, he found real joy in the music and the friendships that came with it. In addition to music, Dick enjoyed being out on the water and always looked forward to time spent boating. He also loved the outdoors, especially deer and pheasant hunting, and treasured the time spent hunting with friends, particularly his good buddy, Bill. Dick will be greatly missed and lovingly remembered by all who had the privilege of knowing him.

Friends and family are invited to call from 11 AM to 12:30 PM on Friday, January 23, 2026, at the Kevin W. Dougherty Funeral Home, 21 Big Tree Street in Livonia, where Dick’s Celebration of Life Service will take place immediately following calling hours at 12:30 PM.

Brighter

A grateful customer

A couple of weeks ago I was shopping at my local Tops Market in Dansville. One of the customer service fellows named Jacob saw me exit the store and came to my car to help me without me even asking and put my groceries in the car. Now that is an act of care and concern for an 87-year-old lady. What a blessing he is not only to the grocery store but also to their customers. Bless his heart.

ank You!

I’d like to thank the Branchport ambulance team for their quick response on December 23. I can’t say enough about them. It’s wonderful to have such great people serving Branchport. Thanks again for your many kindnesses. You’re a great team. ~ Mrs. Johnson

Question

If your sump pump is a giant hole outside near your septic lines, and your sump pump runs water to the ditch that runs by my home, would there be a possibility of this water being contaminated with septic lines running right next to the sump pump?

Town Park

Recently, our town decided to install a disc golf course on an existing lighted and fenced baseball field. Since the park has existed I have never seen nor heard of a game played there. The town is proud that most of the hundred thousand dollars to build the golf course was from a state grant. They seem to think the public doesn’t realize that grant money still comes from taxes. What must any outsider think as they pull into this park with a baseball field and disc golf course combined? And then add to the ridiculous basketball backboard menagerie. I am sure there will be crowds gathering to play disc golf in the spring. Why do they waste hundreds of thousands of dollars on parks that no one uses just to say they do something with tax money. And, oh yes, besides giving themselves raises!

Holiday lights lend extra sparkle to the gloom

It seems more neighbors are keeping holiday lights up around town this year. I don’t know why that is, but I just wanted to say Thank you. It’s so pleasant to drive home (in the dark nowadays!) and see the twinkling lights instead of just boring streetlights. So pretty.
