Tuesday, June 1st, 2010If you are a hard-working office person then you will find this part greatly useful. I know you probably spend eight hours a day, 5 days a week in front of the computer working your brains off. Eight hours of butt-numbing inactivity save for your fingers on that keyboard and the typical chitchat with your officemates while the printer is running. That is about to change. But first, here are some tips to making your office environment, workout-friendly!
The Stress and Metabolism Link
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010You might be wondering what the purpose of this section is – isn't stress supposed to be a daily, ordinary part of life? But that is just the point. We now live in a fast-paced culture driven by urgency and deadlines. The more things you get done in less time, the better. Work, family and recreation have become a balancing act. Tension, worry, anxiety and fear are all too common. Emotional problems like failure in marriages, deaths of loved ones, or simply troubled relationships are accompanied with pressures from work.
Body Language in Flirting

You Are What You Eat
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010It is often said that your brain is probably the greediest organ in your body, and it requires a very specific type of nutrition from your diet. It shouldn't be surprising then that your diet affects how your brain performs, and it performs well with a steady supply of glucose. Before you go out of your house in the morning, it would be great if you can give your brain the fuel it needs by eating a hearty breakfast. A salad packed full of antioxidants, including beta-carotene and vitamins C and E, should also help keep your brain in tip-top condition by helping to reduce damaging free radicals (damaging molecules). As you grow older, your brain has lesser capacity to defend itself from daily threats like free radicals, inflammation, and oxidation. That's why aging people need more nutrition than younger ones.
Brain Drain
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010You're getting older-think of it as shifting gears rather than as a precipitous decline. It's time to take stock and take steps to ensure a high level of cognitive function over the course of your lifetime. Sustaining a regimen of physical activity should be at the top of your list.
Thinking and the Brain- Natural Healing
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010In the philosophy of natural healing, the mind and body compose one whole, and the mind has a profound effect on the body. Healing is both mental and physical because the body is not just a separate machine-like entity, but an integral part of the whole, an expression of the mind. In traditional thinking, there is medicine to treat the body and psychotherapy to treat the mind, but natural methods treat the person, and expect improvement in all areas of the person's life.
Success In Public Speaking

Something?s Gotta Give
Tuesday, June 1st, 2010And it just might be you if you don't slow down and focus. Multi-tasking is an over-rated way to spend your time. There's no payoff to running around like a chicken with its head cut off-just ask that chicken running around with no head.
