" You can put up a good fight against aging and dementia just by eating colorful fruits and vegetables. by Kate Gilbert
Next time you're ambling down the produce aisle, keep an eye out for some of the smallest and little-known food superheroes-dark berries.
A study finds that adding boysenberries and black currants to your diet can give you an anti-aging boost that can protect all parts of your body and even postpone the development of Alzheimer's disease and dementia.
Berries and other colorful fruits and veggies are chock full of polyphenols, a type of antioxidant that buffers against disease by protecting even the tiniest of bodily cells from the natural stresses of the environment and aging. These helpful chemicals-also found in green tea, olive oil, dark chocolate and pomegranates-keep your cells (and you) vibrant and active.
How can you reap the benefits of these mighty little age-fighters? One author of the study, which will appear in the Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, offers some refreshingly simple advice: Eat your colors. "

 " Ever wish you had a cheat sheet for starting a great business? Icon Brian Tracy's 7 core principles are as close to it as you can get. By Brian Tracy
Entrepreneur Magazine - February 2007
There are seven essential principles that you must practice as an entrepreneur throughout your business life if you are to achieve maximum success. They have been taught and repeated in thousands of books and articles over the years, and here they are.
1. Clarity: You must be absolutely clear on who you are and what you want. You need written goals and plans for every part of your life. As Zig Ziglar would say, you must become a "meaningful specific" rather than a "wandering generality."
Begin with your values. What do you believe in and stand for? What is most important to you in life? What would you pay for, fight for, suffer for and die for? What do you really care about? Someone once wrote, "Until you know exactly what you would do if you only had one hour left to live, you are not prepared to live."
What is your vision for yourself and your future? What is your vision for your family and your finances? What is your vision for your career and your company? Peter Drucker once wrote, "Even if you are starting your business on a kitchen table, you must have a vision of becoming a world leader in your field, or you will probably never be successful."
What is your mission for your business? What is it that you want to accomplish for your customers? What is it that you want to do to improve the lives and work of the people you intend to serve with your products and services? You need a clear vision and an inspiring mission to motivate yourself and others to do the hard work necessary to achieve business success.
What is your purpose for your life and your business? Why do you get up in the morning? What is your reason for being? And here's a great question: What do you really want to do with your life?
Finally, what are your goals? What do you want to accomplish in your financial life? What are your family goals? What are your health goals? What difference do you want to make in the lives of others? And here is the best question: What would you dare to dream if you knew you could not fail?
The greater clarity you have regarding each of these issues-values, vision, mission, purpose and goals-the greater the probability that you will accomplish something wonderful with your life. "

The 10 Things in Life That You Control |
|
Written by Administrator

Friday, 02 February 2007 20:00 |
" by Jim M. Allen
We humans spend much of our time trying to control every aspect of our lives. Unfortunately, too often we waste time trying to control things that are simply beyond our control.
Having an understanding of what things you do control can make it easier for you to gain control of your life and everything in it.
1. What you do.
Your actions are yours alone. You choose to make them or not make them and you are responsible for the effects of those actions.
2. What you say.
Likewise, the words you speak (or write) are also consciously chosen. Like actions, they have an impact on your life and the lives of those you contact.
3. What you think.
Yes, there are some subconscious thoughts that you can't control. But the things that you really think about, your beliefs, your ideals, etc. are concepts you have chosen to accept and believe in.
4. Your work.
Many people like to overlook this one, it being much easier to say "Oh, I'm trapped in my job because I don't have a degree, experience, etc."
Hogwash! That's simple a way of denying one's responsibility in having chosen the job in the first place. It's your job and you chose it. If you stay (or go), that's a choice as well.
5. The people you associate with.
There's a famous t-shirt that states: "It's hard to soar like an eagle when you're surrounded by turkeys." Colloquial is very often correct! Your friends can either lift you up or bring you down. You make the decision which type of friends you wish to have.
6. Your basic physical health.
Much about our health is a factor of genetics, environment, and exposure. Much more of our health is simply a matter of the decisions we make about our health, such as: diet, exercise, drugs, sleep, routine physicals, check-ups, etc.
7. The environment you live in.
Your house, the condition of your home, the town you live in, the amenities available to you are all things you can control, although some to a lesser degree (i.e., you decide to tolerate them or move someplace else).
8. Your fiscal situation.
Having or not having enough money is a factor of what you make versus what you spend.
9. Your time.
You choose how to "spend" your time and how much of your time to give to various activities. You'll never get more time than the 24 hours you're given each day.
10. Your legacy.
All your actions, words, and knowledge that you share while you are living become the gift that you leave when you are gone.

" It's confusing trying to figure out how to exercise, eat well, lose weight, work, be with the family, and get some sleep.
Over the years, a couple of things have really become obvious to me. If you're really exercising (that means sweating while you are in motion and not reading the paper) with any regularity and not losing weight, then it's about the food. Literally, if you are working out, then 75% of reaching your goal is what you're eating.
Now here's the kicker: If you're sedentary, then it's all about moving. If you're overweight and are trying to eat bird food but you aren't losing weight, then you have to get moving. The body needs to get revved up to become a calorie-burning machine. I can see where it's confusing because on one hand, food may play a bigger role in you looking the way you want, but before that can occur it's all about exercise."

Free Services to Inspire Your Cellphone |

" Thanksgiving, is it? Well, despite occasional headaches, technology has also brought us plenty to be thankful for: safety, convenience and entertainment on the go. Next time you're running late, lost or lonely, ask yourself: aren't you grateful for your cellphone?
Actually, don't answer yet. With every passing month, cellphones are becoming even more useful. Sure, it's nice that they let you call people from the road. But lately, their reach has grown, thanks to clever programmers making links between the cellular world and the Internet.
Here, for your gratitude-generating pleasure, is a rundown of some of the most exciting and powerful services awaiting your cellphone at this very moment. Better yet, at the moment, they're all free.
FREE DIRECTORY ASSISTANCE By this time, it's quite clear that nobody with a "$50 a month" calling plan actually pays only $50 a month. The cellphone companies will do anything to puff up your bill - like charging you $1.50 or $2 every time you dial 411 to find a phone number.
Try 800-FREE-411 (800-373-3411) instead. A computer or human being looks up a number for you at no charge, once you've listened to a 20-second ad. It's a classic time-for-money swap.

Food: The Science of Scrumptious |

Tuesday, 30 January 2007 20:00 |
 " Why do we loathe lumpy food, pick at our plates, and believe that chocolate will cure all ills? They say there's no accounting for taste, but science is giving it a try. Do we eat to live, or live, in part, to dig into that second helping of banana cream pie? Since the 1930s, nutritionists have believed in "the wisdom of the body," the idea that we are programmed to eat precisely what we need to keep our bodies supplied with the right balance of nutrients and energy. By that rationale, hungers for specific foods are just behavioral consequences of metabolic requirements. You crave steak because you need protein, scarf up sardines for the salt, and pig out on potatoes because they are energy-dense. It's simple: We like food because it keeps us alive.
But this straightforward idea just doesn't account for our eating habits. The foods we love tend to be either nutritionally bankrupt (Twinkies, French fries, Coke) or downright dangerous (bacon, cheesecake, scotch). Popeye notwithstanding, we generally loathe vitamin and energy powerhouses like spinach and liver. "

Creative Thinking Is For Everyone |

" Creative thinking is for everyone but unfortunately stereotype has led us to believe that creativity is usually for artists. Creative thinking is about generating a lot of great ideas which requires creativity. Creativity is not for select artistic individuals; it means continuous improvement. It is about doing something regularly and with conscious effort to improve every time you perform that task. Michael Jordan for instance wasn't born making fade away jumpers; rather, he shot hundreds of them on a daily basis making sure he improves his technique along the way.
There is no shortage of creative ideas
If you pay attention to your environment you will realize so many people have creative ideas. People generating creative ideas are not only those confined to highly educated folks; but ordinary people you see and meet on the streets. "

Take a Tip From the Amish |

 " By Martica Heaner, M.A., M.Ed., for MSN Health & Fitness
A study in Medicine & Science in Sports and Exercise, the official journal of the American College of Sports Medicine, showed how regular daily activity limits weight gain. University of Tennessee researchers studied the Amish community because the Amish, who use no electricity, are highly active in their daily lives. Amish men-many of whom are farmers-reported an average of 10 hours of vigorous work activity per week and, according to pedometers they wore, took an average of 18,425 steps per day. One man took more than 51,000 steps in a day by walking behind his horses in the fields. Women-who engaged in more moderate intensity activity such as gardening, cooking and childcare-tallied an average of 14,196 daily steps.
The average sedentary American who spends most of his time at a desk job or on the couch logs in around 5,000 steps per day, and is considered active if he fits in about two hours per week of moderate activity (that's 30 minutes, five days a week). On average, the Amish got in around six times the amount of weekly physical activity as the typical modernized adult. "

Top 10 Foods for a Good Night's Sleep |

Written by Administrator
|
|
Saturday, 27 January 2007 20:00 |
" What is the secret to getting a solid 7 to 8 hours of sleep? Head for the kitchen and enjoy one or two of these 10 foods. They relax tense muscles, quiet buzzing minds, and/or get calming, sleep-inducing hormones - serotonin and melatonin - flowing. Yawning yet? Bananas. They're practically a sleeping pill in a peel. In addition to a bit of soothing melatonin and serotonin, bananas contain magnesium, a muscle relaxant. Chamomile tea. The reason chamomile is such a staple of bedtime tea blends is its mild sedating effect - it's the perfect natural antidote for restless minds/bodies.
Warm milk. It's not a myth. Milk has some tryptophan - an amino acid that has a sedative - like effect - and calcium, which helps the brain use tryptophan. Plus there's the psychological throw-back to infancy, when a warm bottle meant "relax, everything's fine."
Honey. Drizzle a little in your warm milk or herb tea. Lots of sugar is stimulating, but a little glucose tells your brain to turn off orexin, a recently discovered neurotransmitter that's linked to alertness. "
