Saturated Fats

If you have even a passing interest in the topic of health , then you should take a look at the following information. This enlightening article presents some of the latest news on the subject of health .


For decades, you've been told that saturated fats - especially animal fats - are the cause of today's chronic diseases. you know that's not true. And here's further evidence...

A study published in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition showed that women with heart disease improved their condition by eating saturated fats. It also revealed that saturated fats boosted their HDL (good cholesterol) and lowered triglycerides (blood fat). Just the opposite of what mainstream medicine claims to be true.

If you base what you do on inaccurate information, you might be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences. Make sure you get the whole health story from informed sources.

Saturated fats are an important part of your overall fat intake. Every cell in your body needs some saturated fat to stay healthy. So instead of fearing what man has eaten for millions of years ... enjoy. But if you do choose to eat eggs, meat, and dairy, in particular, choose products that are organic and come from animals raised on their natural diet - like grass-fed beef. And if you really want to reduce your risk of heart disease, avoid sugar, refined carbohydrates, and the ubiquitous vegetable oils.



Now you can understand why there's a growing interest in health . When people start looking for more information about health , you'll be in a position to meet their needs.

Grandparents

GRANDKIDS

The following article presents the very latest information on Grandparents. If you have a particular interest in Grandparents, then this informative article is required reading.



I love being a grandparent. I wish I had many grandkids. Fortunately, I
have one, a 9 year old boy. I am fortunate in another way--he lives next to
me. We share the back yard. So I get to to see him daily. I always know
when he is outside playing because I could hear the wiffle ball hit the
siding on my house. He loves baseball. That is only one of the many
things we've shared during his 9 years on this earth. Bonding with your
grandchildren is important to you and them. When we're long gone, they
will always cherish the moments they spent with you. Like I said, I am
fortunate to have him live close by.

If your Grandparents facts are out-of-date, how will that affect your actions and decisions? Make certain you don't let important Grandparents information slip by you.

Some of us aren't as fortunate. You might only see your grandkids once or
twice a year. Bonding with them is much more difficult, but it can be done.
The computer is one way. I will be talking about different ways you and
your grandchildren can communicate using the computer.

Other grandparents have become parents again. Over 5,000,000 children
live with their grandparents. Studies have shown that this is beneficial to
the children. They do better socially and in school when living with their
grandparents than they do living with a single parent.
Of course this could also be stressful for both parties.



Knowing enough about Grandparents to make solid, informed choices cuts down on the fear factor. If you apply what you've just learned about Grandparents, you should have nothing to worry about.

Senior “Snowbirds” Face Medicare Woes

When most people think of senior, what comes to mind is usually basic information that's not particularly interesting or beneficial. But there's a lot more to senior than just the basics.


For those seniors who spend the year in two different states – moving from one to the other depending on season – the new Medicare prescription plans can become even more complicated.


Government officials and Medicare advocates are trying to persuade these “snowbirds” or “sunbirds” that they should choose a prescription plan that goes with them. That means these seniors should overlook regional plans in favor of national plans that would cover them when they travel to their summer or winter home.

States such as Florida, where there are a large number of temporary residents arriving during the winter months, don’t have contingency plans set up to help those who suddenly discover that their prescription plan doesn’t work in the Sunshine State, say Medicare officials. Those affected would then have to wait until another open-enrollment period to adjust their choice.

How can you put a limit on learning more? The next section may contain that one little bit of wisdom that changes everything.

Because many spend more time in their temporary homes than the 90-day maximum pill supply covered by most prescriptions, they should be aware that there could be a problem renewing a prescription if they choose a regional plan that applies only to the area in which their permanent home is located.

"My hope is people were proactive and mentioned they spent time out of area, because they can buy plans that are good everywhere in the country," said Ernie Boyd, director of the Ohio Pharmacists Association. He added that agencies like the Ohio Department on Aging were trying to get the word out to transient seniors about national plans via the media, senior centers, and Medicare telephone hot lines.

"This is a new program and people are trying to learn about it, and concerns about travel are questions people need to ask," said Scott Parkin of the National Centers on Aging. "It could be a problem, but we probably won't see this until more people start heading north for the summer.”

Knowing enough about senior to make solid, informed choices cuts down on the fear factor. If you apply what you've just learned about senior, you should have nothing to worry about.

A mothers day Poem

by Nicola Kennedy 322


If you are looking for an inspirational poem that shows an understanding of what a mom has to deal with, this is the one. Every mom, young or old, knows this by heart and can only hope that her children will understand when they grow up.

"You don't love me!" How many times have your kids laid that one on you? And how many times have you, as a parent, resisted the urge to tell them how much? Someday, when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a mother, I will tell them.

A MOTHER'S LOVE GOES DEEP

I loved you enough to insist you buy a bike with your own money that we could afford and you couldn't.
I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover your handpicked friend was a creep;
I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your bedroom, a job that would have taken me fifteen minutes.
I loved you enough to say, "Yes, you may go to Disney World on Mother's Day."
I loved you enough to let you see anger, disappointment, mistrust and tears in my eyes.
I loved you enough not to make excuses for your lack of respect or you bad manners.
I loved you enough to admit that I was wrong and ask your forgiveness.
I loved you enough to ignore "what every other mother" did or said.
I loved you enough to let you stumble, fall, hurt and fail.
I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for your own actions, at 6, 10, and 16.
I loved you enough to figure you would lie about the party being chaperoned but forgave you for it after discovering I was right.
I loved you enough to shove you off my lap, let go of your hand, be mute to your pleas and insensitive to your demands...so that you had to stand alone.
I loved you enough to accept you for what you are, not what I wanted you to be.

But most of all, I loved you enough to say "no" when you hated me for it.

THAT WAS THE HARDEST PART OF ALL.

Seniors At A Disadvantage When Purchasing Prescription Drugs Online

Times running out last day to enroll may 15 2006

Are you looking for some inside information on Medicare? Here's an up-to-date report from Medicare experts who should know.

Medicare's new Prescription Drugs Benefit
What does it means for you?

On January 1, 2006, Medicare's new prescription drugs benefit (Part D) began. Most seniors are eligible and most drugs are covered. The first open enrollment period runs from November 15, 2005 to May 15, 2006. Everyone with Medicare is eligible, regardless of income and resources, health status, or current prescription expenses.

Medicare's Prescription Drug Benefit is provided by several insurance companies, HMOs, and other health-related companies. To receive approval from the federal government, each prescription drug plan must meet the following minimum requirements.

*

Premium. The average Part D premium will be approximately $32 per month ($384 annually) in 2006. This premium is in addition to the Part B premium you now pay (for most people, it can be automatically deducted from your Social Security check each month).
*

Annual Deductible. You will pay the first $250 of your prescription drugs expenses.
*

Coinsurance. Medicare will pay 75% of your costs between $250 and $2,250. You will pay the other 25% out-of-pocket; that's a maximum of $500 for coinsurance.
*

Coverage Gap (the infamous "donut hole"). After your total prescription drugs expenses reach $2,250, Medicare pays nothing until you have spent a total of $3,600 out-of-pocket. The $3,600 includes your $250 deductible and your $500 coinsurance maximum.
*

Catastrophic Protection. After you've spent $3,600, Medicare will cover 95% of your prescription drug expenses for the remainder of the year.

Because a prescription drug plan may, if it chooses, offer better benefits (lower deductibles coinsurance amounts, and/or full or partial coverage of the donut hole), it pays to shop around.

Low-Income Assistance. People eligible for both Medicare and Medicaid will pay no premium, no deductible, and have no gap in coverage. They will pay a $1 copayment per prescription for generic drugs, and a $3 copayment per prescription for brand name drugs. Other subsidies will be available for low-income seniors who are not eligible for Medicaid.

There are several potentially nasty surprises you need to be aware of:

Nasty Surprise #1 — "inflation increases"

The $250 deductible, $32 average monthly premium and other coverage amounts described above apply only to 2006. Those amounts will be adjusted for inflation in 2007 and later years. However, the copayment amounts for people eligible for low-income assistance will not be adjusted for inflation.

If you base what you do on inaccurate information, you might be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences. Make sure you get the whole Medicare story from informed sources.

Nasty Surprise #2 — "separate enrollment"

Most people must enroll separately for the new Plan D prescription drug benefit if you wish to participate, even if you are already enrolled in Medicare Part A and B (the government loves paperwork!).

Nasty Surprise #3 — "freedom of choice"

Medicare's new Part D prescription drug plan is voluntary — you don't have to enroll. For many seniors, it might cost more than you could expect to receive in benefits, especially if you are healthy. Or, you might put off enrolling because you simply can't afford it.

But, if you delay enrolling for more than 3 months after first becoming eligible, you will be penalized for the rest of your life! The penalty will permanently increase your premium 1% for every month you delay. For example, if you delay 10 months, you will pay 10% more than almost everyone else. If you delay 2 years, your premium will be about 25% more than other people pay.

— How to Enroll —

If you are already on Medicare, you can join a plan in the following ways:

By paper application. Contact the company offering the drug plan you want and ask for an application. After you fill out the form, mail or fax it back to the company.

On the plan's website. Visit the drug plan company's website. You may be able to join online.

On Medicare's website. You will also be able to join a drug plan at www.Medicare.gov by using Medicare's online enrollment center. More information is available through their online tool, the Medicare Prescription Drug Plan Finder.

By calling Medicare. Call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227) and talk to a Medicare customer service representative. TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.

For more information, including a description of people who do not have to enroll in the new Part D benefit, visit the Medicare.gov website.

If you are NOT YET on Medicare, you can apply for the new Part D prescription drug benefit at any time beginning 3 months before the month of your 65th birthday, or you can delay your decision for up to 3 months after the month of your 65th birthday. For example, if your 65th birthday is August 20th, you can apply for Part D at any time from May 1st to November 30th without any penalty.

For more information about Medicare, including how you can contact your local State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP) for more information, visit Medicare's Web site, or call Medicare toll-free at 1-800-633-4227.

That's how things stand right now. Keep in mind that any subject can change over time, so be sure you keep up with the latest news.

The Difference Between Alzheimer\'s and Dementia?

When most people think of Senior, what comes to mind is usually basic information that's not particularly interesting or beneficial. But there's a lot more to Senior than just the basics.


The difference between dementia and Alzheimer's?" It's a common question, and doctors are some of the best at confusing us. Physicians seem to prefer the word "dementia," possibly because Alzheimer's has become such a loaded word. "Dementia" somehow sounds less frightening to many people, and now even the experts have started using the words interchangeably.

They aren't interchangeable. Alzheimer's Disease and dementia are two very different things.

Dementia is a symptom. Pain is a symptom, and many different injuries and illnesses can cause pain. When you go to the doctor because you hurt, you won't be satisfied if the doctor diagnoses "pain" and sends you home. You want to know what is causing the pain, and how to treat it.

"Dementia" simply means the symptom of a deterioration of intellectual abilities resulting from an unspecified disease or disorder of the brain.

Hopefully the information presented so far has been applicable. You might also want to consider the following:

Alzheimer's Disease is one disease/disorder that causes dementia. Many other illnesses or "syndromes" can also cause dementia. Parkinson's Disease can cause dementia. A stroke can cause dementia. Even dehydration can cause dementia.

Many of the things that can cause dementia are treatable, even potentially curable.

If you have taken your elder to the doctor and received a diagnosis of "dementia" you haven't received a diagnosis at all. Unless you know what is causing the dementia you can't begin to treat it's root cause.

If your physician has diagnosed "dementia" it's time for a second opinion. You are probably dealing either with a physician who is not comfortable with the truth, or one who doesn't know how (or doesn't want to bother) to differentiate between all the possible causes of dementia. Either way, a skilled geriatrician or a neurologist who is comfortable with seniors would be a good place to start.

The day will come when you can use something you read about here to have a beneficial impact. Then you'll be glad you took the time to learn more about Senior.

Retirement and living

The following article lists some simple, informative tips that will help you have a better experience with Retirement.

Retirement might coincide with important life changes; a retired worker might move to a new location, for example a specialised retirement village, thereby having less frequent contact with their previous social context.

In some countries, retired workers will continue to participate in the life of their family and their society, often following ancient ethnic roles. Some countries are sponsoring initiatives to help retired workers keep contributing to social and cultural life.
Well Fargo Retirement Social Security Tax Rates Cheap Places To Retire

Many people in the later years of their lives, due to failing health, require assistance, the highest degree of assistance - in some countries - being provided in a nursing home. Those who need care, but are not in need of constant assistance, may choose to live in a retirement home. This is a facility giving the retired person some degree of freedom, yet with close-by medical assistance to handle emergencies.

Retirement ceases if the retiree decides to go back to work. A retiree may go back to work for a number of reasons, ranging from financial hardship, to the simple desire for activity or new social interactions.

Old-age pensions are usually not reduced because of other income, so the latter comes on top of the former. This may be different in the case of a disability pension.
Retirement Gag Gift Retirement Party Favor Social Security And Medicare

Sometimes the most important aspects of a subject are not immediately obvious. Keep reading to get the complete picture.

Current trends are to provide people with significant needs for long term supports and services with a variety of living arrangements. Indeed, research in the U.S as a result of the Real Choice Systems Change Grants, shows that many people are able to return to their own homes in the community. Private nursing agencies may be able to provide live-in nurses to stay and work with patients in their own homes.

When considering living arrangements for those who are unable to live by themselves, it is important to carefully look at many nursing homes and assisted living facilities as well as retirement homes, keeping in mind the person's abilities to take care of themselves independently.

A retirement home is a place of shared residence intended for the elderly. The usual pattern is that each person or couple in the home has an apartment-style room or suite of rooms. Additional facilities are provided within the building. Often this includes facilities for meals, gathering, recreation, and some form of health or hospice care. The level of facilities varies enormously. A place in a retirement home can be paid for on a rental basis, like an apartment, or can be bought in perpetuity on the same basis as a condominium.

A retirement home differs from a nursing home primarily in the level of medical care given. Retirement villages and retirement communities, unlike retirement homes, offer separate and autonomous homes for residents.

Assisted Living Communities can be differentiated by the different types of levels of assistance provided by the hosts of the communities as well as the different kinds of living

Why You Should Always Write Things Down

When people fail to write things down, some serious consequences can occur. People lose productivity time, they waste funds, and they create stress for themselves and all of those in the environment around them. Most people fail to write things down because they believe they will be able to remember all of the important things they must during the course of the day. This, however, is a false idea. We find it difficult to remember all of the things we must because we are so busy. Generally, the phone rings, three people stop by your office, and you're trying to handle six tasks at once. We try to move from task to task. New thoughts pop into our minds all of the time. We are incessantly interrupted before we can complete a task. When we do write things down, we do this on small scraps of paper that will eventually become lost. Writing things down in the correct manner can put an end to all of this insanity.

The different types of Yoga

Do you ever feel like you know just enough about Yoga to be dangerous? Let's see if we can fill in some of the gaps with the latest info from Yoga experts.


Yoga is becoming a more and more popular activity in the Western world today. The number of places holding Yoga classes is on the increase and there is a plethora of different types of Yoga. With a choice of Hatha Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga, Power Yoga, Iyengar Yoga, Bikram Yoga, Vinyasa Yoga and many more it can be easy to get confused

The article will help you to understand the difference between the most popular types of Yoga so you can choose which type is right for you.

Hatha Yoga - in Sanskrit (an ancient classical language of India) “Ha” means “sun” and “tha” means “moon”. This type of Yoga is relatively slow paced, gentle type of Yoga and is a good place to start if you are completely new to Yoga and don't know any of the asanas (poses). Like all types of Yoga, Hatha Yoga aims to unite the mind, body and spirit.

Ashtanga Yoga - this is the type of Yoga that I practice on a regular basis and means “eight limbs” in Sanskrit. It's a fast moving, intense style of Yoga practice and is based on a progressive set sequence of asanas, synchronized with the breath. Ashtanga Yoga can be quite physically demanding as you constantly move from one asana in the sequence to the next, so you'll find that it will improve your stamina as well as your flexibility and strength..

Power Yoga - this is a western interpretation of Yoga and is based on Ashtanga Yoga. A Power Yoga class may not necessarily stick to the exact sequence of poses like Ashtanga Yoga does, but it does involve practicing a series of poses without stopping and starting.

The more authentic information about Yoga you know, the more likely people are to consider you a Yoga expert. Read on for even more Yoga facts that you can share.

Iyengar Yoga - This type of Yoga is based on teachings by B.K.S Igengar and concentrates on the correct alignment and form of the body. Unlike Ashtanga Yoga, there is an emphasis on holding each pose for a long period of time rather than moving constantly from one pose to the next. Iyengar Yoga uses props such as blocks and straps to help align the body into the different poses.

Vinyasa Yoga - Vinyasa means breath synchronized movement and is another fast paced type of Yoga, with an emphasis on breathing. A practice typically starts with sun salutations and moves on to more intense stretching. Throughout the practice each pose is balanced with a counter pose.

Bikram Yoga - otherwise known as “Hot Yoga”, is practiced in a room heated to 105 degrees, with a humidity of around 40%. Generally a sequence of 26 different poses is practiced during a Bikram Yoga class and the hot temperature helps to loosen muscles. Due to the high temperature most people sweat a lot during the class and this helps to cleanse the body of toxins.

If you're just starting out or have never done any Yoga before, I recommend trying a few different types of yoga to find out what you like best.

Remember, there's no rule that says you have to stick to one type of Yoga. I like Ashtanga Yoga best, but I also go to occasional Iyengar and Hatha Yoga classes for a bit of variety.

You can't predict when knowing something extra about Yoga will come in handy. If you learned anything new about &keyword% in this article, you should file the article where you can find it again.

Yoga for seniors

Yoga for seniors

The following article presents the very latest information on yoga. If you have a particular interest in yoga, then this informative article is required reading.



Knowledge can give you a real advantage. To make sure you're fully informed about yoga, keep reading.

Yoga For Seniors - the great thing about yoga is that you don't need any special equipment, clothing or footwear. Yoga can also be practiced at any time of the day. If you have never practiced yoga before, then taking things slowly is advisable. Always seek guidance from your health practitioner and local yoga teacher. There are also many good videos and dvds on the market with the aim of catering for the older generation. Regular gentle yoga practice will help to strengthen muscles, increase flexibility and contribute to better circulation. Yoga will also promote improved memory and attention span.

I hope that reading the above information was both enjoyable and educational for you. Your learning process should be ongoing--the more you understand about any subject, the more you will be able to share with others.

Smoking Facts & Links

Smoking Facts & Links

From the US Center for Disease Control (CDC)

An estimated 46.2 million adults in the United States smoke cigarettes even though this single behavior will result in death or disability for half of all regular smokers.

Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 440,000 deaths each year. More than 8.6 million people in the United States have at least one serious illness caused by smoking. If current patterns of smoking persist, 6.4 million people currently younger than 18 will die prematurely from a tobacco-related disease.

Tobacco use is the single most avoidable cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States. Over the past 4 decades, cigarette smoking has caused an estimated 12 million deaths, including 4.1 million deaths from cancer, 5.5 million deaths from cardiovascular diseases, 2.1 million deaths from respiratory diseases, and 94,000 infant deaths related to their mother’s smoking.

Smokeless tobacco, cigars, and pipes also have deadly consequences, including lung, larynx, esophageal, and oral cancer. Low-tar cigarettes and novel tobacco products such as bidis and clove cigarettes are not safe alternatives.

The harmful effects of smoking do not end with the smoker. ... each year, primarily because of exposure to secondhand smoke, an estimated 3,000 nonsmoking Americans die of lung cancer, and more than 35,000 die of heart disease. An estimated 150,000–300,000 children younger than 18 months of age have respiratory tract infections because of exposure to secondhand smoke.

The World Health Organization (WHO) estimates of the number of deaths caused by smoking every year is 4.9 million.

Making sure your home is safe

Current info about protection is not always the easiest thing to locate. Fortunately, this report includes the latest protection info available.

Home owner. Your home is one of your most important possessions since this is where you and your loved ones reside.

Once you know that your home is safe from intruders, you can rest assured that your material and personal possessions as well as your loved ones, are secured.

There are several parts of your home that you need to secure by using electronic devices:

- The perimeter of your house to prevent burglars from intruding on your home.

- Enclosed areas within the house should be secured as well, in case of fire.

- Your garage should also have an intruder alarm to protect your vehicles, aside from the anti-theft device on the car itself.

It does not matter what style of life you lead. Home security should be and essential part of your budget to give you peace of mind. In addition to providing physical security in the home, your home security system should also help you find help should an emergency ensue.

Here are some tips when planning for the security of your home:

1. Make an initial survey of your house and from there, develop a home security plan.

Check all of the rooms and the area outside of your house. Determine if the neighbors have a clear view of what is going on within your house.

Having a very open area that can be easily observed by anyone from the outside may be a threat to your security.

2. When placing burglar alarms or intruder sensors, place them in strategic areas in and out of your house.

Home security need not be expensive. You do not need to put in alarms and sensors on each and every part of the house.

You can see that there's practical value in learning more about protection. Can you think of ways to apply what's been covered so far?

As long as they are installed on the proper places, then your house will be secured enough.

3. Review your way of living and the size of your family.

Do you often have visitors who may roam around freely? Do you have a member of the family who may come inside the house in the middle of the night?

These factors will help you decide on the “level” of security system that you will install on your home.

4. You can place sensors within your house. These sensors can be installed on windows to alarm you of intruders.

In addition, you may install sensors within the house, specifically in hallways, to warn you of intruders within the house.

5. Place fire alarms in areas around the house which is most likely to gather heat or smoke.

An unusual level of smoke, fire or heat can easily be detected to warn you of impending fire threats.

6. There are mechanical locks and sensors that you can install on doors for good measure.

7. For households with babies, you may purchase a baby monitor or a video surveillance.

A video security system in your house will give you peace of mind. You may also “automate” your home, and watch your children from your TV screen so that you can keep track of what they are doing.

Whether you choose to install it yourself or get the services of a company which specializes in building security systems, home security should not be taken for granted.

You should put in extra time and effort in order to ensure that you and your family have a happy and physically secure environment.


Now you can understand why there's a growing interest in protection. When people start looking for more information about protection, you'll be in a position to meet their needs.

Using Broadband.

The following article includes pertinent information that may cause you to reconsider what you thought you understood. The most important thing is to study with an open mind and be willing to revise your understanding if necessary.

Broadband is another name for high speed internet connection, and is capable of transmitting data at a much faster rate than a standard dialup modem connection.

It allows you to keep your phone lines free allowing you to make and receive calls while using the Internet. It works in conjunction with your phone with the addition of a simple filter. You can now download music, graphics and video quickly in no time at all. With dial-up connections, people had no choice but to bear with low speeds, breaking connections, time consuming downloads, and engaged phone lines, etc. But with the coming of broadband, there is a solution to all these problems. Although broadband is costlier than dial-ups, people are opting for it because they have realised the importance of broadband. After the broadband prices came down, its use in homes quickly surpassed dialups.

If you base what you do on inaccurate information, you might be unpleasantly surprised by the consequences. Make sure you get the whole Broadband story from informed sources.

The only change is the change in frequency and duration. Telephone calls can now be made on the Internet and cheap webcams can be used for video chatting. People can now send a quick email, read a quick news article, instantantly access pages on the Net, video on the Net, and even download a lot faster. They don't have to wait anymore for several minutes to log on to a dial-up account. The wide bandwidth technology is transforming cable TV, internet and telephone connections round the globe.

The number of internet service providers are also increasing with broadband making its way to more and more homes. With your broadband connection, you can reduce your expenses and enjoy added features that your conventional phone company could not provide to you at any price. Also with the ultimate standardization of Broadband Internet the prices on all plans are dropping steadily, while at the same time the download and upload speeds are increasing.

Now that wasn't hard at all, was it? And you've earned a wealth of knowledge, just from taking some time to study an expert's word on Broadband.

use your time wisely

Do you ever feel like you know just enough about seniors to be dangerous? Let's see if we can fill in some of the gaps with the latest info from seniors experts.

Do you feel you're too busy to sit down in the evening? When your kids are around, do you feel you're unable to devote the time and attention to them that you would like to? What about at work, do you feel swamped and can't get things done? As you read over the list below, choose the ones that waste the most time for you and circle them. Then, think about ways that you can take back the time these things waste for you.

1. Attempting to do too much

2. Checking your email continually

3. Daydreaming

4. Disorganized - messy environment

5. Doing the same things over and over again

6. Doing too many things

7. Gossiping

8. Housework

9. Misplacing things

10. Not being able to say 'No'

11. Not letting anyone else help you do things

12. Not planning ahead

13. Not setting priorities

Knowledge can give you a real advantage. To make sure you're fully informed about seniors, keep reading.

14. Over planning and over thinking

16. Poor time management

17. Procrastinating

18. Reading junk mail and junk email

21. Talking on the telephone to friends

22. Too many meetings

23. Too tired

24. Travel time to/from work

25. Watching too much television

This list is in no way exhaustive. Add some things of your own and get to work on eliminating your time wasters and enjoying life more.

Of Interest to Baby Boomers.
by Cynthia Rowland
The 60's – flower children, hippies, tie dyed shirts, bandanas and free love. The Rolling Stones, Elvis, the Beatles and the notion they would never grow old began to permeate their thinking. Their new way of thinking made their parents shake their heads at a generation who embraced peace and declared to the world that they would stay young forever.

"Down with the establishment" is still their mantra today. An overwhelming percentage of Baby Boomers are turning to alternative methods to maintain and improve their health and well-being. Rather than medication, they've turned to meditation, acupuncture and exercise to keep them in better health.
