New studies have shown that socializing has major health benefits. Imagine some day getting a doctors note to spend more time with friends and family. There is now real links between socializing and how it detours dementia and depression. That beer at happy hour might just be paying off after all. Also physical activity is proven to help with depression as well. So, does this mean a walk to the pub for happy hour? It could, and it might just help you feel better, IF you are willing to socialize. Just sitting alone watching whatever is on the TV will not count 🙁 Ideally you would invite some friends and have some fun. With over 7% of all Americans getting some form of dementia after 65, it’s a real threat. Starting now to help fight it off will have the best effects long term. The best way to help prevent this is to exercise and believe or not, be social. Just spending one day with grand kids can help prevent dementia. A test with 186 Australian grandmas all saw better results when they were more social. Here is some other ideas to get more social: Plan a play date, lunch […]
Discussions of rights are sometimes confused concerning what are and are not rights of the people or powers of government or the duties of each. This is an attempt to summarize most of the more important rights, powers, and duties recognized or established in the U.S. Constitution, in Common Law as it existed at the time the U.S. Constitution was adopted, or as implied therein. Not included are certain “internal” or administrative rights and powers that pertain to the various elements of government within each level with respect to each other. Personhood:[1] “Persons” are one of the two main classes which are the subject of rights, powers, and duties, the other being “citizens”. Persons may be “natural” or “corporate”. “Citizens” are a subclass of “natural persons”. Only persons have standing as parties under due process. Each government has the power to define what is and is not a “person” within its jurisdiction, subject to certain restrictions of Common Law and the Constitution, the 15th Amendment to which requires that it not exclude anyone based on race, color, or previous condition of servitude. Under Common Law existing at the time of the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, “natural personhood” was considered […]
I believe strongly in associations. Things from our past giving us a chemical reaction to new things that remind of it. This can happen on small and big levels. For example, they say we are not born disliking any food. That means steaks vs broccoli all have the same fighting chance to be our favorite from birth. Obviously marketing has a lot of influence (less and less actually with TV commercials phasing out.) But more than marketing is emotional experience. Being forced to eat something never makes you like it more, and being rewarded something never makes you think it’s bad. These type of associations and experiences have molded what foods we tend like best and worse as adults. If you had food poisoning with salmon it’s likely you won’t like salmon again or fish all together. This is because when you think of salmon, you think and feel how you felt when you got sick. Luckily strong minds and strong will can overwrite these programs and have us enjoy stuff we thought as a child or teenager was gross even if we had a bad experience with it. This is very important to understand because on the bigger level […]
