Q: Rabbi, thank you for your efforts to help us become healthier.

I am 60 years old. Weight is not an issue, B”H, looking to do my part in staying healthy and increasing energy. I don’t do any exercise and sit most of the day.

With energy costs steadily increasing, many homeowners are considering the option of converting to solar energy. Solar panels provide renewable energy by capturing the sun’s energy and transforming it into electricity. Solar power provides clean energy without emitting unsafe greenhouse gases that are the typical by product of conventional fossil energy. In addition to clean energy, solar power can also be more cost efficient. Per Heshy Drew, a solar expert, home owners’ interest in solar energy is indeed motivated by their desire to reduce their monthly utility bill.  

 Dear Alice,

Recently, I read an article on eating mindfully and paying attention to the food I am eating. The article explained that if you don’t concentrate on eating, your brain doesn’t realize that you ate anything and you don’t get full. Do you have any tips or ideas to help me eat more mindfully?
