The Easter Bunny

The earliest reference to an egg-toting Easter Bunny

can be found in a late 16th-

century German text (1572) ldquoDo not worry if

the Easter Bunny escapes

you should we miss his eggs we will cook the nestrdquo

the text reads A century

later a German text once

again mentions the Easter Bunny describing it as an

ldquoold fablerdquo and suggesting

that the story had been around for a while before

the book was written

In the 18th century German immigrants took

the custom of the Easter

Bunny with them to the United States and by the

end of the 19th century

sweet shops in the eastern states were selling rabbit-

shaped candies prototypes

of the chocolate bunnies we

have today

More Tips for Your Brain

Eat right

A nutritious diet thats good

for your body is also good for your brain And

something as simple as

adding more green leafy vegetables to your diet (like

spinach and kale) could offer

an easy way to help protect your brain from Alzheimers

disease and dementia

Research tracked the diets

and cognitive abilities of more than 950 older adults

for five years and saw a

significant decrease in the rate of cognitive decline for

people who consumed

greater amounts of green leafy vegetables The

individual nutrients most

linked with this finding vitamin K lutein folate and

beta-carotene

Other good sources of these

nutrients include brightly

colored fruits and vegetables like avocados kiwis

Medicare News

Does Medicare Cover Air Ambulance Transportation In Limited cases Medicare Part B covers transportation in an air ambulance

The services must be medically necessary meaning that you require immediate and rapid ambulance transportation that could no be provided by a ground ambulance More specifically the services must be needed either because

A ground ambulance cannot get to where you are Or there is a great distance to travel or another obstacle involved in getting

you to the nearest appropriate facility In rural areas you automatically meet the medical necessity requirement if A doctor or other medical professional determines that air transport is

necessary due to time and or geographical factors And the air transit meets Medicare-approved air ambulance requirements Medicare Advantage Plans must also cover air ambulance transportation but can do so with different costs and conditions Please remember that Wyoming doesnrsquot have Medicare Advantage Plans

necessary due to time and or geographical factors And the air transit meets Medicare-approved air ambulance requirements Medicare Advantage Plans must also cover air ambulance transportation but can do so with different costs and conditions Please remember that Wyoming doesnrsquot have Medicare Advantage Plans

The Easter Bunny

The earliest reference to an egg-toting Easter Bunny

can be found in a late 16th-

century German text (1572) ldquoDo not worry if

the Easter Bunny escapes

you should we miss his eggs we will cook the nestrdquo

the text reads A century

later a German text once

again mentions the Easter Bunny describing it as an

ldquoold fablerdquo and suggesting

that the story had been around for a while before

the book was written

In the 18th century German immigrants took

the custom of the Easter

Bunny with them to the United States and by the

end of the 19th century

sweet shops in the eastern states were selling rabbit-

shaped candies prototypes

of the chocolate bunnies we

have today

More Tips for Your Brain

Eat right

A nutritious diet thats good

for your body is also good for your brain And

something as simple as

adding more green leafy vegetables to your diet (like

spinach and kale) could offer

an easy way to help protect your brain from Alzheimers

disease and dementia

Research tracked the diets

and cognitive abilities of more than 950 older adults

for five years and saw a

significant decrease in the rate of cognitive decline for

people who consumed

greater amounts of green leafy vegetables The

individual nutrients most

linked with this finding vitamin K lutein folate and

beta-carotene

Other good sources of these

nutrients include brightly

colored fruits and vegetables like avocados kiwis

mangoes cantaloupe

carrots sweet potatoes broccoli tomatoes brussels

sprouts and red yellow and

green peppers mdash to name just a few

The Easter Bunny

The earliest reference to an egg-toting Easter Bunny

can be found in a late 16th-

century German text (1572) ldquoDo not worry if

the Easter Bunny escapes

you should we miss his eggs we will cook the nestrdquo

the text reads A century

later a German text once

again mentions the Easter Bunny describing it as an

ldquoold fablerdquo and suggesting

that the story had been around for a while before

the book was written

In the 18th century German immigrants took

the custom of the Easter

Bunny with them to the United States and by the

end of the 19th century

sweet shops in the eastern states were selling rabbit-

shaped candies prototypes

of the chocolate bunnies we

have today

More Tips for Your Brain

Eat right

A nutritious diet thats good

for your body is also good for your brain And

something as simple as

adding more green leafy vegetables to your diet (like

spinach and kale) could offer

an easy way to help protect your brain from Alzheimers

disease and dementia

Research tracked the diets

and cognitive abilities of more than 950 older adults

for five years and saw a

significant decrease in the rate of cognitive decline for

people who consumed

greater amounts of green leafy vegetables The

individual nutrients most

linked with this finding vitamin K lutein folate and

beta-carotene

Other good sources of these

nutrients include brightly

colored fruits and vegetables like avocados kiwis

mangoes cantaloupe

carrots sweet potatoes broccoli tomatoes brussels

sprouts and red yellow and

green peppers mdash to name just a few

Medicare News

Does Medicare Cover Air Ambulance Transportation In Limited cases Medicare Part B covers transportation in an air ambulance

The services must be medically necessary meaning that you require immediate and rapid ambulance transportation that could no be provided by a ground ambulance More specifically the services must be needed either because

A ground ambulance cannot get to where you are Or there is a great distance to travel or another obstacle involved in getting

you to the nearest appropriate facility In rural areas you automatically meet the medical necessity requirement if A doctor or other medical professional determines that air transport is

necessary due to time and or geographical factors And the air transit meets Medicare-approved air ambulance requirements Medicare Advantage Plans must also cover air ambulance transportation but can do so with different costs and conditions Please remember that Wyoming doesnrsquot have Medicare Advantage Plans

More Tips for Your Brain

Eat right

A nutritious diet thats good

for your body is also good for your brain And

something as simple as

adding more green leafy vegetables to your diet (like

spinach and kale) could offer

an easy way to help protect your brain from Alzheimers

disease and dementia

Research tracked the diets

and cognitive abilities of more than 950 older adults

for five years and saw a

significant decrease in the rate of cognitive decline for

people who consumed

greater amounts of green leafy vegetables The

individual nutrients most

linked with this finding vitamin K lutein folate and

beta-carotene

Other good sources of these

nutrients include brightly

colored fruits and vegetables like avocados kiwis

mangoes cantaloupe

carrots sweet potatoes broccoli tomatoes brussels

sprouts and red yellow and

green peppers mdash to name just a few

A ground ambulance cannot get to where you are Or there is a great distance to travel or another obstacle involved in getting

you to the nearest appropriate facility In rural areas you automatically meet the medical necessity requirement if A doctor or other medical professional determines that air transport is

necessary due to time and or geographical factors And the air transit meets Medicare-approved air ambulance requirements Medicare Advantage Plans must also cover air ambulance transportation but can do so with different costs and conditions Please remember that Wyoming doesnrsquot have Medicare Advantage Plans
