The little-known nutrient
that turns cancer cells
back into healthy cells

Recent research suggests that a little-known phytochemical – called apigenin – is a powerful anti-cancer agent. In fact, it can actually transform cancer cells back into healthy cells.

Let me explain

Your body is protected by a protein called p53 that’s a natural tumor suppressor. Unfortunately, p53 can’t stop cancer on its own. But that’s where apigenin comes in.

Cute Baby Animal Wallpapers | PixelsTalk.Net

In Dr. Fred Pescatore’s Essential Cancer Protocol, he explains that apigenin is able to activate p53. And he adds, “This lowers cancer cells’ resistance to chemotherapy and improves responses to treatment.

But apigenin fights cancer in another important way

Dr. Pescatore cites a study that shows how apigenin blocks vascular endothelial growth factor. This prohibits angiogenesis – a technical term for the new blood vessels that tumors grow to feed themselves.

“In other words,” Dr. Pescatore says, “apigenin starves malignant tumors, stopping cancer development.” And there’s even more research to back-up apigenin’s cancer-fighting abilities.

A rare and endangered species by Jeff Davies | Endangered animals, Rare ...

Turning cancer cells back into normal cells

According to another breakthrough study cited by Dr. Pescatore, apigenin restores a normal life cycle to cancer cells – literally, turning cancer cells back into normal cells.

He says, “This gives malignant cells a different set of ‘instructions’ that makes them vulnerable to programmed cell death, when they otherwise wouldn’t be.

In all these ways, apigenin helps to prevent and treat cancer. But it’s also been shown to reduce the likelihood of cancer recurrence.

Miracles Wallpapers - Wallpaper Cave

Dr. Pescatore cites a study that observed 29 patients who underwent surgery for colon cancer. Of the study group, 15 took a 20 mg apigenin supplement and 14 took a placebo. Four years later, three participants in the placebo group had a recurrence of their cancer, but everyone in the apigenin group remained in remission!

It’s no wonder why Dr. Pescatore calls apigenin “an uncommonly powerful anticancer agent.

So how can you increase your apigenin levels? Well, it all starts with your diet.

Turn dinnertime into a cancer-defeating, apigenin powerhouse

If you enjoy chamomile tea, indulge all you like because chamomile is a rich source of apigenin. In fact, Dr. Pescatore believes that this tea’s famous calming effect is almost certainly due to its apigenin content.

Meanwhile, be sure to load your grocery cart will plenty of these foods and spices that are also excellent sources of apigenin:

  • Basil
  • Beans
  • Broccoli
  • Celery
  • Endive
  • Leeks
  • Onions
  • Oregano
  • Parsley
  • Red peppers
  • Rosemary
  • Thyme
  • Tomatoes

As for supplementing with apigenin, Dr. Pescatore has this recommendation: “Swanson currently offers a single-ingredient apigenin product derived from grapefruit. But an alternative is a chamomile extract standardized for apigenin.

Dr. Pescatore notes that you can simply follow the dosage recommendation on the products’ labels.

Apigenin is just one of many powerful, natural cancer-fighters that Dr. Pescatore features in his Essential Cancer Protocol.

7 Ways to Find Happiness
(Without Changing Your Life)

happinessHealth

Walk into any bookstore, and you’ll probably have no trouble finding a plethora of books about the ways to find happiness. However, with so many viewpoints and ideas about what can make us happy, how do we know what is right? In reality, people derive Happiness from different things, but we can all probably agree on some basics to becoming happier.

The most crucial part of finding the keys to happiness lies in remembering that we already possess the tools to unlock the door. Within our consciousness, we can tap into a place where we always feel happy, regardless of what’s happening outside of us.

We’ve been tricked from an early age into thinking that the latest TV, a bigger house, or a more beautiful car will finally make us feel happy. Or, maybe we need another relationship, a fresh start in a new city, or a nice massage to discover happiness. While these may bring us short-term joy, the only real happiness will come when you decide that you control your emotions. If you always give the power to things outside yourself to make you happy, you’ll find that happiness will escape your grasp every time the initial excitement fades.

Below, we’ll go over some basic ways to find Happiness without making drastic changes to your Life.

Amy's Photography 10: Composition Definitions Emphasis and Photo Examples

Here are seven ways to find real Happiness (without changing your Life):

“Happiness depends upon ourselves.”
Aristotle

1 – Be kind to yourself and others.

If you want to find real happiness, it starts with how you treat yourself. You can’t expect to feel happy if you eat poorly, don’t exercise, don’t get sunlight, make little time for self-care, and don’t prioritize sleep. Being kind to yourself means you’ll find it easier to show kindness to others, too. As they say, you can’t pour from an empty cup.

Engage in positive self-talk and treat yourself as you would your best friend. If you wouldn’t say mean things to your friend, don’t tell them to yourself, either. Simply look at yourself in the mirror and realize that you deserve only the best, and self-deprecating language will not serve you in the long run.

Also, Happiness, when spread, makes the world a much brighter place. Small acts of kindness such as leaving sweet notes for strangers, donating money to charities, and holding the door for someone can turn a person’s day around. Studies have shown that people who perform random acts of kindness feel Happier in their daily lives, so give it a try! Making others feel good will inevitably boost your mood as well.

2 – Express gratitude for what you do have.

The Happiest people focus on everything that they do have, not what they lack. If you only put your attention on the things you still need, you will never have enough. You attract what you think about, so if you always focus on everything going wrong, you’ll only invite more of that into your Life. However, if you instead shift your attention to everything positive in your Life, more of that will come your way.

Here are just a few things most of us could put on our gratitude list:

  • Good health
  • Running water
  • Food on the table every day
  • Our homes
  • The Loved ones in our lives
  • Our livelihoods which allow us to buy what we need
  • Waking up this morning

Want to find happiness instantly? Just look around at everything you have and know that some people feel Happy with much less than you do. Wake up every morning feeling that you have it all, and you will boost your energy levels without having to change anything.

3 – Pay attention to your thoughts.

Most of us run on autopilot, never paying attention to the thoughts inside our heads. However, if we did, we’d probably find that most of those thoughts don’t serve us very well. Our monkey minds have a hard time focusing on the present moment, wanting instead to shift to the past or future. However, if our minds can never rest in the now, we will go our whole lives not knowing the Peace of diving into the still waters of real awareness.

How can we find happiness by paying attention to our thoughts? If you meditate, you will start to notice the Peace between each idea, and realize that your feelings don’t have to control you. Happiness comes from surrendering to this Peace and letting go of the need to analyze and ruminate all the time. Our minds have a lot of power, but most of us don’t tap into their true potential.

Studies have proven the many benefits of meditation, from boosting your mood to improving focus to even rewiring your brain! Meditation can bring a sense of Peace in even the busiest, most demanding lifestyles. So, if you want to find happiness without changing your circumstances, you need only to go within and improve yourself. By doing this, your outer World will inevitably shift as your frequency increases.

pop meme4 – To find real happiness, surround yourself with positive people.

Being in the company of only Debby Downers will surely bring your mood down as well. We tend to take on the energies of those around us, so if you surround yourself with positive people, your mood will begin to change too. Studies have shown that Happiness is contagious, so if you have a healthy social circle full of uplifting people, they can easily bring you out of even the worst funk!

While this tip might require some changes, you don’t have to do anything drastic. Simply look at the people you surround yourself with, and if anyone affects you negatively, try to limit your time with them. Put more effort into the friendships and relationships that genuinely add value to your Life.

5 – Plan out healthy meals for the week.

With so many sources for healthy recipes nowadays, you can whip up different dishes each week that will keep your taste buds and your body happy. It doesn’t have to cost a fortune, either. Food makes us Happy because it provides us with sustenance as well as comfort. However, it can also have the opposite effect if you don’t fuel your body with the right foods.

Try to plan out your meals in advance each week so that you know exactly what you need at the store and how much you’ll spend. You will find that you feel better eating fresher foods that you prepare yourself, and you’ll save time by meal prepping.

Studies have shown that a balanced diet can lessen feelings of depression as well, so make sure to feed your body what it needs to thrive!

pop meme

6 – Carve out time each day for yourself.

Even if you only have 15 minutes a day, try to plan out some time where you have the freedom to do things you enjoy. Whether that means painting, drawing, writing, singing, or just sitting alone with your thoughts, we all need a little time to unwind. Have a routine each night after you put the kids to the bed where you can express yourself and let out any pent up energy throughout the day. You can journal or meditate to release any stress or negativity, and after a while, you’ll start to notice how this helps your mindset.

Dylan Unit 1 - Photography 9491: Contrast Image Bank

7 – Realize that you have everything you need to find happiness.

This world makes us feel as though we always need something else to make us Happy. Truthfully, we have everything we need within us already. If you let outside circumstances control your moods, you will make yourself subject to the ebbs and flows of Life. However, true happiness lies in our ability to ride the waves and accept the ever-changing nature of Life. Instead of being a boat tossed around by a storm, learn to dive beneath the turbulence where the waters remain calm.

By shifting your mindset and realizing that you have the power to control your thoughts, nothing in life can touch you. Happiness doesn’t mean accumulating money, or stamps on our passports. All of these things can fade, but our consciousness lives on forever. Spend your time building up your inner strength and Peace, and you will not feel as powerless in the face of our changing World.

happinessFinal thoughts on how to find happiness without changing your Life:

In reality, happiness doesn’t have to come at the cost of our sanity, money, or time. You can find happiness right in your mind if you want to. By taking care of your health, being kind to yourself and others, expressing gratitude, watching your thoughts, and being around positive people, you can find Happiness. You can also find it by realizing you already have it, knowing that it can never really leave you.

What are Contrast Ratios, and How Do You Use Them?

“A disciplined mind leads to Happiness, and an undisciplined mind leads to suffering.”

Seriously Great Ways to Have Fun
and Feel Like a Kid Again

Childhood was a Glorious Time.

It was a time when pocket money could be spent on sweets and toys, not rent and bills; when the only password you had to remember was “open sesame”; and nothing brought a Smile to your face quite like a new box of crayons did.

It was a time when bed sheets were superhero capes, sticks were wands, and socks were hand puppets.

And it was a Time when there was no such thing as ‘dreaming big’ because everything was possible and you weren’t afraid of climbing too high or jumping off swings because you believed you could fly.

balloons

Luckily, that innocent childlike wonder is not gone and there is no such thing as too old to play with bubbles or get excited about colorful sprinkles.

And there is no better time to forget about being an adult for a moment and discover the wonders of being a kid again. Here are 15 great ways to get in touch with your inner child.

Want to get in touch with your inner kid and win amazing prizes? Join A Paper Jet Challenge!

paper jet1. Bake something

Dark chocolate fudge merlot cupcakes, red velvet cheesecake, giant chocolate chip cookies, peanut butter and Nutella balls, raspberry rainbow cake – bake it all! Play some music, pop open a bottle, and don’t be afraid to get flour everywhere – half the fun of baking is getting a little messy.

And remember, you only live once, so lick the bowl!

2. Blow bubbles

You know what they say about there being no angry way to say “bubbles”. Well, that’s because bubbles are tiny balls of happiness that just make the world a better place. Buy some from your local store or take it to the next level and make your own.

feel like a kid

3. Ride around the neighborhood

Dust off that old bicycle (even better if it has a basket and bell), lace up those old roller skates, unroll that kick scooter, or pull out that skateboard and go for a carefree ride around the neighborhood.

4. Play games

Instead of going out for dinner, host a games night and get everyone to bring over one of their favorite games. If you’re having a braai, make it a whole lot more exciting by bringing out paint bombs or water balloons* and challenging your friends to a battle. Games are a great way to reconnect with your inner child and add an extra dose of fun to your afternoon or evening plans.

* Not while experiencing a water shortage of course.

5. Skip down the street

Yeah, you read that correctly. If there is one thing on this list that will get you from 30 to 13 within seconds, it is skipping. Next time you are walking down the street or anywhere really, try it out. And if you’re afraid of looking like a weirdo, find an empty street, field, or mountain path and give it a go.

6. Spend a day on the beach

Build sandcastles with towering turrets and deep trenches, go searching for seashells, fly a kite, snorkel, make a sand angel, and jump over the waves.  And the sun is a great source of Vitamin D, which makes you happier, while the minerals in the ocean reduce stress and help detox the body.

7. Have a sleepover

Get some ice-cream, slip into your comfiest jammies, order a couple of pizzas, make margaritas, and spend the night watching old Disney films or trashy horror films with your favorite people. Extra points if you build a fort, indulge in a good ol’ game of truth or dare, have a pillow fight, or play Twister!

8. Go to the arcade

Nothing reawakens the sweet merriment of childhood quite like spending an afternoon shooting zombies, racing cars in Sega Rally, and trying to outrun ghosts in Pac-Man amongst the cheery jingles of the arcade. So, take that 50 bucks you would have spent on fries and get a bucket of tokens instead.

9. Make breakfast fun

Make flapjacks with animal faces made of fruit, trade in eggs on toast for sunshine toast instead, have a bowl of guilt-free Coco Pops or Fruit Loops, or go for the classic soldiers in boiled eggs. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, so don’t make it boring!

10. Try something new

Hire a surfboard and learn to surf, join an art class and give finger painting a go, learn to play the guitar, sing in the shower, or buy a pair of outrageous socks and wear them to work! Life is too short to take it so seriously and stick to old routines. And who knows, you might find a new hobby that you really enjoy or make some great new friends.

11. Dance like nobody is watching

Remember those afternoons singing at the top of your lungs into your hairbrush and dancing like a wild animal around the house while the family was out shopping? Us too. Good times.

You may not be the next Beyoncé or Enrique Iglesias, but that doesn’t mean you can’t turn up the volume and still have one helluva good time pretending.

Here are 10 great songs to tear it up to:

  • Whitney Houston – I Wanna Dance With Somebody
  • *NSYNC – Bye Bye Bye
  • Michael Jackson – Billie Jean
  • Joan Jett & The Blackhearts – I Love Rock And Roll
  • Cyndi Lauper – Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
  • Lou Bega – Mambo No. 5
  • Def Leppard – Pour Some Sugar On Me
  • Ini Kamoze – Here Comes the Hotstepper
  • Los Del Rio – Macarena
  • Kenny Loggins – Footloose

12. Go camping (an idea also from my friend Rev. Donald Graves)

Whether you rope in your family, gather a few friends, or just go with your partner, camping trips are a great opportunity to relive the glory days of childhood. Play card games, tell ghost stories around the fire, and braai marshmallows on sticks.

13. Buy some candy

Find a candy store and spend some time filling a bag with Rascals, jelly beans, jujubes, glow worms, milk bottles, and all the sugary things you remember from childhood. And if you don’t like sweets, you can use them to bribe your kids to clean their rooms, give them to your younger siblings, or make everyone’s day a little brighter by handing out free sweets at the office!

14. Helium balloons

Next time you’re at a party with helium balloons, embrace the silly kid inside by sucking the helium out of a balloon and singing “Happy Birthday” in a ridiculous leprechaun voice. You will destroy a balloon but it will certainly get you and everyone else laughing like little kids.

15. Be curious

Finally, whether you go searching for starfish in rock pools, opt for the path less traveled on your favorite hiking trail, or take a spontaneous road trip across the country, be curious about new places, new people, and new experiences.

Curiosity is one of the great wonders of Childhood that is often lost as we get older and distracted by the stresses and responsibilities of life. Curiosity is what motivates us to go on new adventures and uncover magic where we never knew there was. We should hang onto it.

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole World around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it. – Roald Dahl

After profound investigation,
scientists say that it is
True,
about the Immortality of our Souls.
Our bodies do die,
but our Souls live
Forever.
.
Quantum mechanics
is responsible
for this phenomenon.
It is the Science that deals with
the behavior of matter
at the atomic and subatomic levels.

Dr. Robert Lanza
is an expert in regenerative medicine
and the scientific director of
Advanced Cell Technology Company.
He was first famous for his extensive research
on stem cells, but recently
he has become involved with physics,
quantum mechanics and astrophysics.

Lanza argues that the structure of our Universe
implies an intelligence existed before matter did.
He goes on to state that space and time are not objects, but tools used by animals (like us)
to understand the world around us.
Without space and time,
Lanza believes we would still exist
as individual consciousnesses.

Copyright Free Pictures - No Copyright, Copyright Free Videos, Motion ...

Lanza’s theory
is based on the work of quantum mechanics,
which has shown that particles, like electrons,
do not have a definite location
until they are observed.
Lanza argues that this means
it is consciousness that creates
the physical World.

According to quantum theory,
death is not the end for our consciousness.
Our consciousness is a quantum field,
and as such, it is Immortal.
When our physical bodies die,
our consciousness simply moves on
to another quantum field.

Stuart Hameroff and Sir Roger Penrose
say that our Consciousness is data
saved at this Quantum level.

Dr. Hameroff explained:
“Let’s say the Heart stops beating,
the blood stops flowing; the micro-tubules
lose their Quantum state,”
“The Quantum information within the micro-tubules
is not destroyed, it can’t be destroyed, and it just distributes and dissipates
to the Universe at large.”

What Really Matters in Life?
(How to Find out What Matters Most)

We live in a world packed with material possessions and are encouraged to chase these things. As a result, our needs never seem to stop growing. So we keep running. But what really matters here?

We run after bigger television sets, newer smartphones, and better cars. We run after job promotions and luxurious holidays. We tend to think that more money in our bank accounts will translate into happier lives. While offline and online shopping can bring us short-term satisfaction, it rarely matters in the long run. There are all examples of things that don’t matter in the end.

Copyright Free Photos - Copyright-Free Photos for Your Blog - Marylee ...

Well then, what really matters in Life? This article shows you what matters in life and how to find the things that matter most.

What really matters in Life

The wise do not chase after materialistic items. More clothes, smarter gadgets, bigger cars, and luxurious houses can make our lives more convenient, but do these things bring us long-lasting happiness?

They don’t.

What really matters in Life is Happiness itself. Happiness comes from having a purpose in Life, loving and accepting yourself and others, and maintaining good health. Without these, you will always end up feeling unfulfilled and unhappy.

Research on the impact of relationships on life

An adult development study by Harvard on the lives of more than 700 people was conducted for over 75 years. The participants were divided into two groups one group with participants who finished college and the other with participants from poor neighborhoods. Their personal and professional lives were studied, as well as their health and relationships.

While most people thought that money and fame made for a happier life, the research showed something different. It was good relationships that had a more positive impact on life. It’s not about having a big circle of friends or several relationships. It’s about having meaningful relationships. Quality over quantity.

In the words of Professor Robert Waldinger, the director of the study:

The clearest message that we get from this 75-year study is this: Good relationships keep us happier and healthier.

Robert Waldinger

Psychiatrist George Vaillant, one of the earlier researchers of the study, came to the same conclusion in his own words:

The key to healthy aging is relationships, relationships, relationships.

George Vaillant

Research on the purpose of life

A study by the researchers of the Harvard School of Public Health found that when people have a high sense of purpose or direction in life, they tend to remain healthier in life.

The researchers tracked data from 2006 and 2010 from a national study of participants over 50 years old. Physical and psychological examinations of their health were conducted, including walking speed, grip test, and a questionnaire to measure their sense of purpose.

The results showed that the participants with a higher sense of purpose had a reduced risk of developing weaker grip and slower speed.

Deathbed regrets

One of my favorite articles online is called “Regrets of the Dying”, which covers the most frequently quoted regrets of people on their deathbed. It’s a fascinating story that uncovers what most people regret the most as they are near the end of their lives. Here’s the gist of it:

  1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
  2. I wish I hadn’t worked so hard.
  3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings.
  4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends.
  5. I wish that I had let myself be happier.

Notice how none of the deathbed regrets are “I wish I had bought a bigger TV”?

What matters in Life and why

For anyone struggling to find what really matters in life, here are some clues.

1. Purpose in life

A sense of purpose gives us the “why” of our life. It is the reason why we do what we do. It is the reason for our actions, our work and our relationships. Our lives revolve around this purpose. It gives our life meaning a meaning which matters in life.

However, do not panic if you struggle to find your purpose. We have all been in that place. I remember when I did, I asked myself three questions:

  • Why do I get up?
  • What do I want?
  • What do I not want?

These questions have helped me find my purpose in life. It helped me discover what really matters to me. Whenever you feel like you are losing track of your life and yourself, you can always go back to these questions. Just remember to be honest with yourself.

2. Good relationships

Relationships are important. The positive kind, of course. In a busy world like ours, we often think that we don’t have a lot of time to give to our family or friends.

Even worse, we take it all for granted and postpone it for later, while we prioritize our work.

However, your family, friends, and loved ones are part of what makes your life happier.

good relationships are important
Good relationships are a crucial part of a happy life.

I remember the happiest memories of my life revolve around spending time with my family and friends.

Good relationships really matter. You need to nurture these relationships with the attention, love, and care that they deserve.

Here are a few ways to do that:

  • Spend time with people who support and encourage you.
  • Replace the time you spend on your phone or TV with real people.
  • Do things with your loved ones to strengthen your relationship with them.
  • Reach out to old friends and relatives and connect with your colleagues.

Spend time with positive people and watch how it changes your life for the better.

3. Good health

Health is probably one of the most important things that we take for granted. We don’t eat healthily, we sleep poorly, and we don’t treasure our bodies. But health matters – both our physical health and mental health.

Be kind to yourself, your mind, and your body. A lot of people are not so lucky to have a healthy body, so keep it nourished and nurtured.

Here are some interesting articles filled with tips on how to focus on your health:

Always prioritize your health. Improve your lifestyle. Eat healthily and drink plenty of water. Get out and talk to people. Visit the doctor for regular check-ups. Treat your health as if it is crucial because it really is.

4. Love and accept yourself

Accepting and loving yourself matters. When you completely embrace yourself and nurture your well-being and growth, you’ll start to see the positive effect it has on your life. A positive view of yourself leads to a positive view of the world.

be yourself be fearless
Don’t be afraid to be yourself and accept yourself for who you are.

If you are unable to love yourself, you will be unable to love others too. There was a time in my life when I criticized everything I did and thought that my life fell apart because of how I am. I disliked myself. Not long after, I started distancing myself from people. It was after I learned how to love myself that I could love and care for others.

How did I do that?

  • I accepted my flaws and recognized my strengths.
  • I forgave myself when I made a mistake, but I also held myself accountable.
  • I spent time with those I loved and asked for help when I needed it.
  • I stayed positive as much as I could and let go of resentment.
  • I made healthier choices and tracked my growth and progress.

 In short, I started to love myself again, and so can you. Take time to discover your true self and embrace it.

Five Tips to Stay Healthy as You Age
bostonmagazine.com
click here to read more

Times have changed. Aging is different now than it was for our parents and grandparents. Today, there are more people living longer and healthier than at any other time in history.

“Aging is NOT an inevitable decline and deterioration,” says Lewis Lipsitz, MD, Chief of the Division of Gerontology at BIDMC. “In fact, with appropriate geriatric care, attentive to the medical, psychological, social, and personal challenges that everyone faces as they grow older, most people can enjoy an advanced age with good health and independent function.”

So, how do we keep that momentum going? Check out these five tips for healthy aging from the Senior Health Clinic at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center.

1. Kick the bad habits and stick with the good ones

This may seem like common sense, but the healthier choices we make, the healthier we’re likely to be.

Quit smoking. Did you know that ingredients found in nail polish remover, hair dye, rat poison and lighter fluid are found in cigarettes? And that’s just a short list — there’s more! If you smoke — quit. Your physician can point you toward online or community resources that can help.

Pile on the salads and fruit. As you get older, digestion and metabolism slow down. Make sure to get enough fiber — found in fruits, vegetables and whole grains — in your diet. If you need help with grocery shopping or cooking nutritious meals, talk to a family member or your doctor. Many communities also have programs that provide healthy meals to seniors.

Drink lots of water. You’ve heard this before — staying hydrated is very important. Dehydration can cause headaches and dizziness, among other things. Try setting a timer to remind yourself to grab a glass of water.

Get plenty of Zzzs. As tempting as it is to watch TV right up until bedtime, it might disrupt your sleep. Many older adults do not get enough sleep. Insomnia (difficulty falling or staying asleep) and excessive daytime sleepiness are common problems. Enlarged prostate, which affects as many as 90 percent of men in their 70s and 80s, can cause frequent nighttime urination that disrupts sleep.

Anthony Zizza, MD, a physician in the Senior Health Clinic, offers these helpful tips for a good night’s rest:

  • Make sure your bedroom is dark and quiet, and it’s not too warm.
  • Go to bed when you feel tired and get up at the same time each day.
  • Turn off the TV at least one hour before going to bed.
  • Wind down before bed by taking a bath or listening to soft music.

2. Stay connected

A lot of things change with age. Your social circle may get smaller, you may not be able to drive anymore, health issues can arise or you may be concerned about your financial security. All of these things can cause stress, which has an enormous impact on your quality of life. If you can, visit your local senior center. Spend time with at least one person — a family member, friend or neighbor — every day. Pick up a hobby from childhood that you gave up. Volunteer in your community.

“Try to maintain a busy social life if your health and circumstances allow,” advises Senior Health social worker Leo Newhouse, LICSW. “Talk with your health care provider and family and make a plan to stay active. As you get older, it will help you continue to feel independent, fulfilled and gratified.”

3. Get moving

“Staying active can boost energy levels, help maintain strength and flexibility, improve mental function, reduce your risk for health problems, and even help relieve chronic pain,” says Suzanne Salamon, MD, Associate Chief of the Division of Gerontology at BIDMC and a physician in the Senior Health Clinic. “But, be sure to talk to your health care provider before beginning any exercise program.”

Find an activity you enjoy and begin slowly. Try to incorporate activities that increase your breathing and heart rate, as well as lifting small weights, stretching, and balance exercises into your fitness program. Good choices include walking, swimming, biking, gardening, tai chi, chair yoga and exercise classes designed for seniors.

4. Stay safe

Safety is a serious issue for many older people — especially those who are living alone and experiencing varying degrees of physical and/or mental decline. In addition to falls and choking hazards, concerns include:

Driving. Giving up driving means giving up part of your independence. You may be unwilling to stop driving, even though continuing to drive can pose a safety risk for yourself and for others. BIDMC offers a driving assessment called DriveWise, for people who have experienced neurological, psychological and/or physical impairments.

Fire/smoke safety. That forgotten pot on the stove. The candle that burned all night. Memory lapses, which are more common in older adults, increase the risk for household fires. It’s important to have working smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors in your home. If you need help inspecting your detectors, call your local fire department.

Extremely hot or cold weather. Older adults are at increased risk for health problems caused by hot or cold temperatures, especially when the cooling or heating systems in their homes aren’t functioning properly.

With rising energy costs, it can be hard to keep up with home energy bills. Many states, counties and cities provide programs that assist older adults with winter heating costs. Boston’s Area Agencies on Aging is a good source of information about locally available community programs (many cities and towns have similar programs).

Crime. Older adults are at increased risk for certain types of crime, including burglary and fraud — identity theft, fake check and wire transfer scams, investment and credit card fraud and fake online charity solicitations. If you ever receive a phone call or e-mail from organizations claiming to be the IRS, the government or a bank asking for your personal information, including bank or credit card information, end communication immediately.

Unfortunately, many also are at risk for another type of crime that takes place in their home, in the home of a family member, or in a living facility or nursing home and is committed by people responsible for their care: elder abuse. This type of crime can be physical, emotional and psychological, or sexual. It may involve neglect, abandonment or financial exploitation. Never accept this kind of treatment from anyone. If you are experiencing elder abuse, please call your local police department.

5. See your health care provider regularly

Knee problems, high blood pressure, diabetes … some studies show that the average 75-year-old has three chronic medical problems, ranging from minor to serious. If you have concerns or questions about your health, talk to your health care provider. You may find it helpful to have a trusted family member or friend accompany you to your medical appointments.

One of the ways to stay healthy as you age is to seek the care of a geriatric physician, also called a geriatrician. Geriatric physicians are medical doctors who specialize in the diagnosis, treatment and prevention of disease and disability in older adults. They are specially trained in the aging process and provide comprehensive health care. BIDMC’s Senior Health Clinic offers a full team of 11 geriatricians, a social worker and two nurse practitioners who understand the physical, mental and emotional challenges of aging, and work together with patients, family and caregivers to ensure a higher quality of life.

Please contact your primary care physician or geriatric care provider if you are experiencing any of the physical or emotional issues described above. They are here to help.

God’s Love For You Is Deathless / Bill Kincaid’s Wizard’s Gambit / Why is Coffee Good For You? / TUESDAY, Jan. 5 – We Begin Again

Person Holding White Daisy Flower

“Nothing
can be Loved or hated
unless it is first understood.”

Leonardo da Vinci.

God’s Love for you
is deathless.

The Blessings of Blissful moments
are Lived and Loved
on the pathway to Happiness,
as we struggle with all the misfortunes
of this World,
and Pray to God
to shield us from harm.

In the brightest of days
and the darkest of nights,
amidst your Happiest moments

and gloomiest hours,
there can be a Soft Breeze flowing
through your Life,

the Breath of God,
the Spirit of the Lord
Passing By.

All
that is needed
is Prayer.

The Banner of our purpose
for existence, for Love, for Life,
floats calmly in this Gentle Breeze,
 of God’s Unbounded Love for us.

We may have unlimited confidence
in the Love and Care
God will have
for His Precious Children
of Faith.

Such Faith
is simple
and profound.
It is the same
Faith,
that may be found
in the Love
your Children feel
for you.

Blotchy Background

Feel gratified to God
for the Beauty all around,
found in every Leaf
and every Tree,
in everything that was,
and is,
and is to be.
.

The Hope
in all our future years,

the only Hope
there may be,
resides in our Love
for each other,
the Love
God has given

to you
and me.

 The Love
of our Lord
is kept among even the dimmest memories
of Childhood.
In the Maternal Care
we share,
is the warmth and tender
caress
of all the Love
that is there.

Yes,
the Beauty
of all things
can be beheld
by you.
This knowledge,
this awareness,
gives you
Birth
anew.

There are words Sacred
in number
that let us explore
unfettered
the Eternal Nature
of God’s Love.
They are here,
they are real.
And they reside
within the Holy Word
of God.

In the Eyes of God
every
teardrop is timeless,
every smile
remains in the Heart.
You
are Forever Eternal
in the Love of God
that Created you.

lily flower

In every Flower we see,
Blossoms the Love
that Flows
Eternally.
In
the Natural World,
not built by
you and me,
is
the Love of God,
painted
on every Living Thing
that dwells
in the Forest of His Heart,
for you
and for me.

The Holy Word of God
is filled with His Promises
to provide the rest we need.
Our Precious Father
in Heaven Above
is an Endless Source of
Peace and Strength.

                       Painted on every Living Thing.

And
rest is important

to our Spiritual Walk with the Lord.
Mental and physical rest
allows our mind and our body,
and, importantly, our Spirit
to renew
and begin again each Blessed Gift
of Day,
with renewed strength
and purpose.

My Dear Friends,
during this precarious time 
of worry and stress,
rest
is important to your physical Being,

and
your Spiritual Walk

with the Lord.

Many people today

don’t appreciate the true value
of rest,
physical and Spiritual.
.
 God is an endless source of
Peace and Strength.

“In order for God’s Strength
to manifest and present in our Lives
we must have
Faith.”

Hebrews 11:1

Goodnight.

There is a fantastic
book by Bill Kincaid:
Wizard’s Gambit.

This is Bill’s first
science fiction/fantasy book.

The central figure is
Max Strider,
the sole survivor
of a mission to explore
a distant planet
classified as EVE (Earth Virtual Equivalent).
But there are differences:
like Fire-breathing Dragons & Wizards
who shoot lightning bolts and
work powerful magic.

Will Max’s knowledge of
science and technology
prevail against the dangers
he will face?

.Bill is a Dear Friend
and a wonderful author.
He is also
our school attorney
and
my former debate partner
when we were students at
Hardin-Simmons University.

by Bill Kincaid
Science and Technology
vs.
Magic and Wizardry

Wizard’s Gambit

Although Bill Kincaid spent over 35 years practicing law in Texas, he started out as a writer and journalist whose articles and columns received several state-wide honors. Now that Bill is slowing down his legal practice, he finally has time to return to his writing roots, publishing two historical fiction books and one fractured fairy tale.
Wizard’s Gambit is his first science fiction / fantasy novel. Bill and his wife of over forty years have three adult children.

Q. What books have influenced your Life the most?
.
A. I’ve been most influenced by The Bible and The Science of God. However, my favorite fiction includes White Fang, Hound of the Baskervilles, several of the Thoene books, and The Hunger Games, Harry Potter, Jack Reacher, and Divergent series.

Q. Which actor/actress would you like to see playing the lead character from this book?

A. Probably someone like Tom Cruise, Matt Damon, or a young version of either Harrison Ford or Mel Gibson.

Q. Tell us about the cover and the inspiration for it.

A. The cover depicts part of a battle between Wizard Malmortiken’s forces and those of King Kylandar.

coffee chartWhy is Coffee Good For You?
Here Are 7 Reasons
By Kris Gunnars
To read the full article
click here

In recent years and decades, scientists have studied the effects of coffee on various aspects of health and their results have been nothing short of amazing. Here are 7 reasons why coffee may actually be one of the healthiest beverages on the planet.

1. Coffee Can Make You Smarter

The active ingredient in coffee is caffeine, which is a stimulant and the most commonly consumed psychoactive substance in the world. Caffeine’s primary mechanism in the brain is blocking the effects of an inhibitory neurotransmitter called Adenosine. By blocking the inhibitory effects of Adenosine, caffeine actually increases neuronal firing in the brain and the release of other neurotransmitters like dopamine and norepinephrine.

Many controlled trials have examined the effects of caffeine on the brain, demonstrating that caffeine can improve mood, reaction time, memory, vigilance and general cognitive function.

2. Coffee Can Help You Burn Fat and Improves Physical Performance

There’s a good reason why you will find caffeine in most commercial fat burning supplements.

Caffeine raises metabolism and increases the oxidation of fatty acids.

3. Coffee May Drastically Lower Your Risk of Type II Diabetes

Type II diabetes is a lifestyle-related disease that has reached epidemic proportions, having increased 10-fold in a few decades and now afflicting about 300 million people.

In observational studies, coffee has been repeatedly associated with a lower risk of diabetes. The reduction in risk ranges from 23% all the way up to 67%.

A massive review article looked at 18 studies with a total of 457.922 participants. Each additional cup of coffee per day lowered the risk of diabetes by 7%. The more coffee people drank, the lower their risk.

4. Coffee May Lower Your Risk of Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s

Not only can coffee make you smarter in the short term, it may also protect your brain in old age.

Alzheimer’s disease is the most common neurodegenerative disorder in the world and a leading cause of dementia.

In prospective studies, coffee drinkers have up to a 60% lower risk of Alzheimer’s and dementia.

Parkinson’s is the second most common neurodegenerative disorder, characterized by death of dopamine-generating neurons in the brain. Coffee may lower the risk of Parkinson’s by 32 – 60%.

5. Coffee May be Extremely Good For Your Liver

The liver is a remarkable organ that carries out hundreds of vital functions in the body.

It is very vulnerable to modern insults such as excess consumption of alcohol and fructose. Cirrhosisis the end stage of liver damage caused by diseases like alcoholism and hepatitis, where liver tissue has been largely replaced by scar tissue.

Multiple studies have shown that coffee can lower the risk of cirrhosis by as much as 80%, the strongest effect for those who drank 4 or more cups per day.

Coffee may also lower the risk of liver cancer by around 40%.

6. Coffee May Decrease Your Risk of Dying

In two very large prospective epidemiological studies, drinking coffee was associated with a lower risk of death by all causes.

This effect is particularly profound in type II diabetics, one study showing that coffee drinkers had a 30% lower risk of death during a 20 year period.

7. Coffee is Loaded With Nutrients and Antioxidants

Many of the nutrients in the coffee beans do make it into the final drink, which actually contains a decent amount of vitamins and minerals.

A cup of coffee contains:

6% of the RDA for Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5).
11% of the RDA for Riboflavin (Vitamin B2).
2% of the RDA for Niacin (B3) and Thiamine (B1).
3% of the RDA for Potassium and Manganese.

May not seem like much, but if you drink several cups of coffee per day then this quickly adds up.

But this isn’t all. Coffee also contains a massive amount of antioxidants.

In fact, coffee is the biggest source of antioxidants in the western diet, outranking both fruits and vegetables combined.

Even though coffee in moderate amounts is good for you, drinking way too much of it can still be harmful.

To make sure to preserve the health benefits, don’t put sugar or anything nasty in your coffee! If it tends to affect your sleep, then don’t drink it after 2 p.m.

If anything, coffee may literally be the healthiest beverage on the planet.

And so, my friends, instead of allowing your children to drink deadly and addictive soft drinks, why not introduce them to something healthy? Yes, like coffee.

Our World
is crying out for
understanding.

In our more innocent Time,
when Life was simple
and filled with childhood times
and Love was to be found
every Day,
when the Music of the moment
could touch our Hearts,
and we would play
and Pray,
Life
was good.
.
Many
of our precious memories

are so wholesome.
Just Love them,
for after all these many, many years –
we still are swept away
by the soothing melody
of moments
meant to stay.
Life
should be Lived
moment by moment,
not
day by day.

“Every moment
is a fresh beginning.”

– T. S.  Elliott

There is always a place
your Heart
can return to.
The essence of
Life
stays with us.
For we Live again
in our memories.
Our memories
are us.

Daisy, Flower, Lake, Nature, Summer

Our Reality
is Pure Consciousness,

pure energy.
It cannot be
destroyed,
only transformed.
We are Spiritual Beings
having a Human experience.
And the Consciousness
of our Soul is Eternal.
In the Warm Embrace
of God,
we need never
fear death,
for the end
is forever near
to never
.

The language of Life
and Living,
can obfuscate reality,
and the depths
of our feelings
be denied.
.
Today,
there may be no calm surrender
to the rush of day,
no gentle
reminder
that Love,
like the Sun,
will rise again
one day.

Boat, Men, Sunset, Silhouette, OceanMy Dear Friends,
Life on this Earth

is just a fragment
of the existence
of the Eternal Soul.

“To be absent from the body
is to be present
with the Lord.

– 2 Cor. 5:8

In these Times
of loneliness and uncertainty,

the Beautiful Reflections of Life remind us
that everything will be okay.
Because,

we have never lost
our way.

Every night in our Dreams,
  we see, 
we hear,
we feel,

and Life goes
on,
even in the depths
of darkness,
and the decay
of Day.

But,
we can feel
the power of God

within.
A feeling

so powerful
it cannot be denied.
His Precious Words

are Jewels to our ears,
as we come closer
to His Truth
.

“True happiness is like radium.
It is a form of Love that becomes
all the more complete
as it is turned towards others;
that is why happiness is within everyone’s reach,
even the poorest.”

Robert Baden-Powell

Search your Heart
and you will search
no more.
And then,
there will be just two types of people
left –
those who have fallen in Love with you,
and those you have yet to meet.

How much of God’s Grace
 is concentrated in those
appearing so tender and powerful,
and filled with Love
at the same time.

Children, Boy, Girl, Bus, Happy

We Beautiful people,
we Children of God,
possess Angelic Qualities.

When the sky cries for you,
the Land is Blessed,
and Life
goes on.
And when you cry,
the Love in your Heart
is a Fountain
of Blessing

for someone in this Life
far beyond Beauty,
beyond
what may be told.
and is foretold

by the Love
of God.

God,
will always care,
wherever you may be,
He will be there.

Fantasy, Moon, Girl, Night, Bank, Light

The Magic in your Heart
may lie across a Sea
of tears
you cry
for those
you meet
and truly Love.

Only
the Human Heart knows,
how Love
and pain
may become one
and the same.

Goodnight.

“If you keep your Heart open
through everything,
your pain can become your greatest ally
in your Life’s search for
Love and Wisdom.”
Rumi

10 Surprising Tips for Managing Stress
from our friends at Canyon Ranch
click here to read more

Effective stress management has become more important than ever. What do you normally do when stress is getting to you? Many of us turn to exercise or talk to a therapist when feelings of anger, anxiety or frustration arise. But did you know that taking a different route to work or sleeping on a fresh set of sheets can also help alleviate stress?

Try some of these unusual techniques the next time you need to clear your mind or calm yourself down.

Focus on Your Breath
When you’re stressed, your heart rate can increase, which can make you feel even more stressed. Try this simple exercise:
Focus your attention on your heartbeat for a few seconds. Then put your hand on your belly to feel it rise and fall as you breathe, and say, This is my body breathing. As you inhale and exhale deeply, notice your heart rate slow and feelings of calmness grow.

Rewrite Your Script
Ever have the same negative thoughts so frequently that they become a never-ending tape-loop, playing over and over again in your mind? I’ll never get everything done. I know they’re going to fire me. I’m going to get sick.

When you start thinking worst-case scenarios, ask yourself if your concerns are based on facts or emotions. If the latter, imagine that these thoughts are part of a script that you’re writing, then change the lines. This can help create some distance between you and your worries, and remind you that you are in control of the story of your life.

Or … Channel Your Inner Storyteller
As an alternative, invent a fairytale ending to your “story.” It’s an entertaining distraction and can help you recognize that fantasies—both bad and good—are just that. The reality of your situation probably lies somewhere in between.
Tune Into a New Voice
If you can’t turn off the stressful negative talk in your head, try replacing it with talk that’s positive. Music can help, but listening to an audio book or an interesting interview can provide you with actual dialogue to focus on.

Control What You Can Control
Worrying about major life or world events is one kind of stress, but equally as bothersome are the daily, chronic stressors that cause aggravation and tension. To avoid irksome traffic, take an alternate route to work that might be longer but less crowded. If you find yourself too wound up to sleep after watching the evening news, skip it in favor of a lighthearted sitcom.

Find the Funny
Research shows that laughter reduces stress hormones and triggers some of the same mood-boosting effects as exercise. So do whatever tickles your funny bone.

Make Time for Play
Watch young children at play. They truly live in the moment, not worrying about the future or the past. Take a cue from them and play at something in which you can become totally engrossed.
Start a card game, set aside time to do a craft project or draw a picture. Not an artist? No problem. Pick a simple image, like a tree or have fun doodling in a notebook. Don’t worry about how it turns out, simply focus on the act of drawing—the way your pen or pencil moves across the paper as the image takes shape.

Nurture Another Living Thing
It is easier to limit the time spent focusing on your own stressful thoughts when you’re busy attending to something or someone else. Bake cookies for a neighbor, play with a pet or get outside and garden.

Engage Your Senses
Senses play a role in your levels of stress. Gentle music, calming scents like lavender and dim lighting can alleviate stress.
And touch is no exception. Wearing something soft, splurging on a cozy set of sheets or even just keeping a piece of your favorite fabric in your pocket to hold or stroke occasionally can make your feel comforted and relaxed.

Try Some Tools
Traditional meditation tools—prayer beads, gongs, chanting—can help you focus and relax.
Or experiment with different apps you can download for your smartphone or tablet. There’s even a Zen rock garden app that lets you rake the sand with your fingertips.

We Have the Freedom to Choose / Aging is REVERSED / Friday: Modern Art Museum

Do you sing
in the Sunshine?
Do you laugh
every day?
Do you give away
the things you never
really possessed?
Have you come to know
the rain must fall,
the wind must blow.
.
My Dear Friends,
when
our cup runneth over
with Love for Life –
we are TRULY
alive.

                 YOUR OUTLOOK is vital.

Why should we look
on the bright side of Life?
 Simply because,
we are more likely to survive
and enjoy our brief time
on this Earth.

    Looking on the bright side
helps us to survive threats
to our health
and happiness.

“Associate yourself
with people of good quality,

for it is better to be alone
than in bad company.”
Booker T. Washington

Those of us
with an optimistic outlook
are 30 per cent less likely to require treatment
in a hospital.

My Friend,
Optimism is a choice.
We have the freedom
to choose.

Optimistic people have
better health.
Yes,
Having a positive outlook on Life
helps people live longer.
But importantly,
YOUR OUTLOOK
is vital
to the mental and physical health
of your Child.

                       Focus on what you can do.

Focusing on what you
and your precious Child
can do,
will ALWAYS
have more positive outcomes.

One of the most powerful lessons
learned from Life,
is NOT to believe
everything you think.
This world is nothing more
than a reflection
of who we are
deep down inside.
.
Our brain
and our body
are Human.
We are,
thank God,
not perfect.

Respect yourself enough
to walk away from anything
that no longer makes you
feel good about you,
helps you to grow
or makes you happy.
Be confident
that no one can drain you
if you do not cooperate
in their negativity.

We attract in our lives
people and events and situations
that mirror
our internal state of Being.
.
To raise our positive energy
focus on the things you Love about yourself,
your Life
and the world around you.

Do so by thinking of someone you Love deeply,
by thinking about things you are really
passionate about.

              WE HAVE the Freedom.

A recent study revealed
that women who are optimistic
are less likely to die
from cancer, heart disease, stroke,
infection, and several other
major causes of death.
.
Studies have also found
people who are less stressed
have lower cholesterol levels,
are less prone to inflammation,
have a better immune response
and higher levels of antioxidants in the blood.

Aging is REVERSED in men
using a cocktail of growth hormones and diabetes drugs
in a study that saw the test group
shed 2.5 biological years.

  • Researchers at UCLA  used a trio of common drugs to restore the thymus
  • The gland specializes immune cells that fight cancer and infection and degrades with age
  • Growth hormone combined with two diabetes drugs made the thymus regenerate
  • After a year on the drug cocktail the nine white men involved were an average of 2.5 years biologically younger than they had been at the study’s start

A cocktail of three common drugs appeared to not only slow aging but to reverse it in a small new study published in Nature on Thursday.

Nine people were given a growth hormone and two diabetes drugs for a year as part of the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), trial.

By the end of their cycles on the medications, the study participants had, biologically aged 2.5 yearsin reverse.

At first blush it looks like a revelation for human health and life expectancy – but the small group of participants were all white men and there was no control group to compare the findings to, drawing some skepticism from experts.

New research suggests that a three-drug cocktail could reverse biological aging.

To many, immortality is the Holy Grail of futurism and medicine.

And even if you don’t idealize the notion of living forever, with aging comes disease and the body’s degradation, so evading the damage that time does to us could mean living a healthier life as well as a longer one.

Much more critical to the length and quality of our lives than our numerical age or the lines on our faces is how our body’s are changing at the cellular and molecular levels.

Scientists gauge biological aging by something called the ‘epigenetic clock.’ One method of doing so was developed by co-author of the new study, UCLA’s Dr Steve Horvath.

This age assessment looks at changes to how DNA is expressed. As we age, chemical tags called methyls start to hang on to molecules of DNA.

Theses pesky changes don’t alter the sequence of the DNA, but they can disrupt  the way a section of the genetic code gets turned on and off or issues instructions to biological structures.

More methyls are added to DNA over time, so it becomes more predisposed to disruption, and we become more predisposed to aging itself as well as cancer.

Many factors influence this process, called methylation, and can make our biological clocks race ahead of or trail behind our age in years.

The process effects every organ and tissue in the body – including a vital gland called the thymus.

The thymus functions like finishing school for the white blood cells that drive much of the immune system.

White blood cells are made within the bone marrow, but it’s in the thymus where they enter their final forms, becoming T cells that keep infections and cancer at bay.

The thymus starts to degrade with age and as levels of human growth hormone fall.

Previous research in animals suggested that giving people supplemental growth hormone might protect and restore the thymus.

So Dr Horvath’s collaborator, immunologist and co-founder of Intervene Immune, Dr Gregory Fahy, recruited nine white men between the ages of 51 and 65 to take the growth hormone DHEA.

Dr Fahy had actually experimented with the possibility of using DHEA to rejuvenate the thymus – on himself, in the 1990s.

Since unusually high levels of DHEA may trigger diabetes, the men in the trial were also given the two diabetes drugs.

Over the course of the year they were involved in the study, their thymus tissue was regularly tested.

By the end of the trial, seven of the participants thymuses had shed disruptive fat from the gland, and healthy thymus tissue had regrown in its place.

Dr Horvath happened to ask if he could analyze the mens’ epigenetic markers of age.

Remarkably, all 10 participants had fewer methyl tags at the end of the study than they had in the beginning.

Biologically speaking, they appeared to have gotten 2.5 years younger.

‘I’d expected to see slowing down of the clock, but not a reversal’ Dr Horvath told Nature.

‘That felt kind of futuristic.’

But, of course, there was no control group whose thymuses and epigenetic markers of age were being compared, and the sample was all white men, so it’s far from proof that aging can be reversed.

It is, however a promising finding for follow-up research.

“What we call cultural evolution

“Then I beheld all the work of God,
that a man cannot find out the work
