Though there are many anti-aging products in the market today, it is easy to ease the effects of aging by following a healthy diet of fresh fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Smoking should be refrained from and alcohol consumption should be maintained to moderation. Staying away from desserts and packaged foods help in slowing the aging process.

Some of the most worthwhile anti-aging products available in the market today are well-manufactured antioxidants and dietary supplements. These products provide the body with its required nutrients every day. They help in detoxifying the body, improves the immunity system of the body, strengthens the muscles and tissues of the body, helps to control stress, improves memory, improves the skin and circulatory systems and supports cardiovascular, neurological and eye functions. Anti-aging relates to both outside physical appearance and internal appearance.

Aging is a natural process of the body where nothing can be done much about stopping it. However today, there are many anti-aging products and nutrients, which a person can use so that it is possible to slow down the aging process. Regular ingestion of these products leads to a considerable slowing down of the internal aging process and taking good care of your skin, hair and body with products and routines that have been shown to reverse the signs of aging can also contribute to your outward “anti-aging”.

The goal to aging should be a positive outlook, a clear understanding of all of the biological processes and to remain active. You should only look as old as you feel.

Effective leaders encourage their people to question everything. When we begin to question things, we elevate our thinking. When we elevate our thinking, we also expand our possibilities. And when we expand our possibilities, we will come to realize that the facts don’t count. The facts are only the truth as long as we believe them.

We cannot live our lives based solely on facts because facts are changing almost daily. Furthermore, the facts don’t motivate us anyway — the possibilities do! William Faulkner exclaimed, “Facts and truth really don’t have much to do with each other.

“The fact of the matter is, in 1949 when the Federation for the Blind was founded, 99 percent of the blind people in America were unemployed. So, the founders of this organization decided to encourage their members to view blindness as a personality trait rather than a disability.

In other words, the leaders of this organization encouraged their people to rethink what was possible for them. They changed the facts! Because of this paradigm shift, blind people today are succeeding in areas once believed impossible. They now work in almost every field imaginable…teachers, attorneys, mayors, artists, Olympic athletes, professors, entertainers, TV talk show hosts, professional speakers, etc., and the list goes on and on of professions which the blind now occupy.

Are you old enough to remember Allen Funt from Candid Camera? Well, he used to always say that most people don’t question things. They just accept things as they are and invariably go with the flow.

The Candid Camera crew was in Delaware filming a few segments for their television show. They put up a giant sign that read, “Delaware Closed Today.” Mr. Funt commented that what was so amazing about the entire episode was the fact that most of the motorists didn’t even question this outrageous stunt. Some of them just asked, “Well, uh…is Jersey open?”

Wow! I must say I was pleasantly surprised when I checked my email account today and found 1000 Entrecard credits, courtesy of Scramories! What a wonderful gift.

I haven’t been a member of Entrecard for too long, but I’ve met some great people, learned a lot and discovered many interesting sites — Scramories is just one of them. In fact, Ada was one of the few people who dropped her card on my account when I first signed up.

Thank you Ada! If you haven’t met her yet, drop by to say hello. Even though she’s very busy with being a wife, mother, and student, she still finds time to be a friend on Entrecard.

So far, my experience has been lovely and I look forward to other rewards and Entrecard friendships! Now…excuse me, but I must take a break and decide how I’m going to spend my 1000 Entrecard credits!

Thanks again Ada; your kindness is appreciated.

Dr. Leila Denmark was born on February 1, 1898 in Bulloch County, Georgia. The year she was born, the average life expectancy in the U.S. was 49 years. Currently, she is the 67th oldest person in the world, according to the short list of super-centenarians (people at least 110 years old or older.)

Dr. Denmark was the 3rd female graduate of the Medical College of Georgia in 1928. She was one of the first female pediatricians in Atlanta and practiced medicine for more than 70 years. It has been estimated that Dr. Denmark treated more than 250,000 patients during her distinguished career. She is credited with being the co-developer of the Whooping Cough vaccine, which saved countless lives of children in the early part of the 20th Century.

When I first met Dr. Denmark in 2002, she was 104 years old, and had just closed her medical practice the previous year, at 103. At that time, she was the oldest practicing physician in America.

Over the years, I’ve learned many valuable life lessons by staying in contact with this legendary Atlanta doctor. Some of the lessons prompted me to do further investigation, and I have incorporated many of them into my daily life. Coming from Dr. Denmark, they were even more powerful because she has seen many years come and go. Here are a few lessons she shared with me… Read the rest of this entry »

Parents, you are your child’s first teacher. You know what can create a successful or disastrous day for your child. Be confident that you can offer valuable information to the school staff about meeting your child’s needs. In order to sufficiently do so, you must know your child’s (IEP) Individual Education Plan. Be sure to understand the details, specifically in the areas of: goals and objectives, placement, and supportive aids (classroom modifications and testing accommodations).

Be Proactive

The person who initiates communication can set the tone for the relationship. Waiting until you receive that phone call or letter from school before making a formal introduction creates a reaction versus a proactive purposeful intent. Educators are there to support your child’s educational experiences. See them as a friend or colleague. Remember that as with any other relationship, the more you are supportive, the better the relationship works.
