Wintertime is notorious as the season of colds and flu. And this year especially, you may be looking for ways to make sure you don’t get sick. In addition to rest and exercise, diet plays a huge role in immunity-boosting. While there’s no single food or ingredient that can wham-bam boost immune health, eating a variety of nutrient-rich foods during winter can help keep your immune system functioning at its best, says Seattle-based registered dietitian nutritionist Ginger Hultin, R.D., owner of ChampagneNutrition in Seattle. The emphasis should be on variety, she says: “Different vitamins and minerals are needed as the building blocks to enzymes and cells that are involved in our immune response.”
Auburn s police and fire departments are actively working toward bolstering their ranks.Â
The Auburn Police Department currently has seven vacancies, not including the upcoming retirement of a detective next month. The Auburn Fire Department has three spots to fill. Both agencies said they ve had potential recruits take tests recently, with plans to send people to their respective academies next month.
APD Lt. James Slayton, who runs the department s training, said 109 potential officers took a competitive police examination in September, and all of them passed. He noted that the 109 people who showed up in the fall was a drop from the over 180 people who took the test in 2019. The COVID-19 pandemic meant the APD wasn t able to visit criminal justice classes and career seminars to recruit, as they normally would, but they still made recruiting efforts, he said.

Understanding type 2 diabetes
Millions in fact, about 31 to 32 million of Americans have type 2 diabetes, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Most often, this chronic disease affects people older than age 45, but that doesn t mean younger folks or even children can t develop it. It s more common in people who are overweight or obese.
When you have type 2 diabetes, the cells in your body don t respond normally to insulin. As a result, glucose (sugar) from your food can t enter your cells. (This is known as insulin resistance.) It builds up in the blood instead. Sensing high levels of sugar in your blood, your pancreas makes more insulin. But your cells still don t respond to the insulin, and your blood sugar level continues to rise. When your blood sugar gets high enough, it s considered type 2 diabetes.
