Bringing her thoughts to a close with a look to the future, Carano ultimately mused, “As for me, I would love to pick up where I left off & continue my journey of creating & participating in story-telling, which is my utmost passion & everything I worked so hard for. It has been difficult to move forward with the lies & labels stuck on me, backed & encouraged by the most powerful entertainment company in the world.”

“I am grateful someone has come to my defense in such a powerful way & look forward to clearing my name,” she concluded. “Thank you to all the people who have supported me & made your voices heard. I pray God blesses each & every one of you.”

Wellness Wednesday: Leaving the City is Good for Your Health

A study from Washington State University reveals that even small increases in green and blue spaces in urban areas contribute to improved mental and physical health for older adults. A 10% rise in forest space in residential ZIP codes is linked to reduced serious psychological distress, while a similar increase in green spaces, tree cover, water, or nature trails lowers the odds of older individuals reporting poor or fair general health. The study, based on health survey data from over 42,000 people, suggests the potential health impact of the loss of urban green and blue spaces due to rapid urbanization. Researchers recommend further exploration of nature prescriptions as a potential solution to enhance mental health outcomes for older adults. The study also aims to investigate the link between nature exposure and cognitive decline.

Study Finds noted:

Researchers believe a potential solution may be nature prescriptions, which is a growing trend in healthcare that involves doctors giving patients written recommendations to spend time outdoors.

Senior study author Solmaz Amiri adds more research is necessary to understand exactly how exposure to green and blue spaces promotes better mental and general health. Moving forward, she wants to study the possible link between nature exposure and cognitive decline, which is often an early sign of Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia.
