According to Isaac Asimov, “The saddest aspect of life right now is that science gathers knowledge faster than society gathers wisdom.”

As you age, you're more likely to develop diverticulosis, a disorder that affects the colon's walls. Indeed, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases reports that approximately 58 per cent of persons over the age of 60 have diverticulosis.

Diverticulosis develops when small bulges (referred to as diverticula) form in weak sections of the colon's inner wall. Although these bulges develop naturally over time, some situations and lifestyle practices might hasten the process. For example, those who suffer from chronic constipation or irritable bowel syndrome are more likely to develop diverticulosis, particularly at a younger age.

Generally, bulges do not create symptoms or concerns. The majority of people are unaware they have diverticulosis, as it is typically detected after a colonoscopy or CT scan for another reason.

Diverticulosis, on the other hand, can progress to a more dangerous condition called diverticulitis. This condition develops when one or more bulges become inflamed or infectious. It often manifests as pain in the lower abdomen, most frequently on the left side, and is frequently accompanied by fever and exhaustion. Diverticulitis is a serious infection that requires rapid medical attention and, in severe cases, hospitalization. In some instances, surgery may be required.


A haemorrhage in the lower intestine is another possible consequence of diverticulosis. As diverticula expand, the colon's wall weakens, perhaps resulting in a rupture of one of the small blood veins that supply the inner lining.


"The greatest method to avoid diverticulitis and bleeding is to prevent diverticulosis," says Dr Matthew Hamilton, a gastroenterologist affiliated with Harvard Medical School and medical editor of the Harvard Medical School Guide Diverticulosis and Diverticulitis.


Reduce your risk

To begin, address the risk factors for diverticulosis. Among them are the following:

Being obese

 Males with a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30, categorized as obese, had a 78% increased risk of diverticulosis compared to men with a normal BMI of less than 21.


Smoking

 According to a 2018 study published in the Journal of Postgraduate Medicine, smokers had a 46 per cent increased incidence of diverticulosis compared to nonsmokers.


Sestri Levante is a charming seaside town on the Italian Riviera, midway between Genoa and Cinque Terre, overlooking the Baia del Silenzio. It includes several lovely hikes that lead to the Belvedere, which provides spectacular views of the "two seas." Have you ever visited?

“A Soft Answer” Wednesday, June 18, 2025

Key Verse “A soft answer turneth away wrath: but grievous words stir up anger” (Proverbs 15:1). Text —Proverbs 15:1-4 Message Two contrasting scenarios in the Book of Judges portray the truth of today’s text. Gideon was challenged by the men of Ephraim and his soft answer averted what could have brought a destructive war (Judges 8:1-3). A few years later, the quarrelsome Ephraimites met their match in an equally short-tempered Jephthah. He was a Gileadite from the tribe of Gad. Rough words flew back and forth, and a devastating war broke out between the two tribes. By the time the dust cleared, 42,000 Israelites were dead (Judges 12:1-6). Speaking the right words would have prevented that. The heart and the mouth are connected, therefore grace in the heart produces graciousness in the lips. Graciousness is the ability to speak words that promote peace and harmony in otherwise tense situations. Opportunities to exhibit grace or else bad manners will arise every day in the home, at school, or on the streets. Unsaved youths lose the battle every time; they speak bad words, show rude manners even to elders, they have no respect for anyone. Today is International Day for Countering Hate Speech. Quote The heart and the mouth are connected Challenge Practice graciousness in your speech today. Prayer for today Set a watch before my mouth, O Lord.
