Adjusting To An Aging Mind

 

Adjusting To An Aging Mind

As our brains age, we're less likely to think as quickly or remember things as well as we used to. Research is now showing how the Brain changes and adapts with age. You can use what we've learned and follow a few simple tips to help remember things and avoid scams. No Cost Help!

Dr. Denise C. Park, director of the Roybal Center for Healthy Minds at the University of Illinois, explains that the knowledge we gain from life experience can sometimes compensate for other changes in our brains as we age. Older professionals can often be better at their jobs than younger ones. "Your Memory may be less efficient," Park says, "but your knowledge about how to do it may be better."

Researchers can design tests that expose problems in the aging mind by creating tasks in which older adults can't use their experience. These tests reflect real-life situations like getting upsetting medical news or having a crafty scam artist pressure you for an answer.

One key to dealing with situations like these, Park says, is not to make rash decisions. Ask for further information and more time to consider. Discuss it with friends or relatives.

Perhaps the most common trouble people face as they age is remembering things. Park says it's important to acknowledge that your memory is fallible. "For medicines, driving directions or other things with specific details, don't rely on your memory," she says. "That's good advice for everybody, but especially for older adults." If you need to remember something important, write it down on a pad or use an electronic device like a personal digital assistant (PDA) that lets you store notes and reminders.

Another way to remember things is through routines. Take your medicine with a snack or a particular meal, for example. Always keep your keys and wallet in the same place.

You can also use your imagination. If you imagine doing something beforehand, Park says, you're much more likely to do it. So, for example, imagine taking your medicine in as much detail as you can, paying attention to where, when and how.

Practice can help, too. Rehearse talking to a salesperson. Visit somewhere new in advance.

Keeping your brain active with activities that require mental effort, such as reading, may help keep your mind sharp. Staying physically active may help, too.

Happy Tropical Fish!

 

Warning: These are the "secrets" pet stores don't want you to know... Discover How Easy it is to Have a Captivating, Stunning Aquarium Full of Vibrant, Happy Tropical Fish! (Cool Huh? It's breathtaking! How would you like an aquarium like this in your home?) From: Sean LeMay Thursday, 5:53 p.m. Dear Friend,     If you love tropical fish or are thinking of buying an aquarium, then this may be the most exciting message you'll read today!     Here's why...     My name is Sean LeMay, and I've been passionate about tropical fish for over 30 years. More important, during these 30+ years, I've uncovered hundreds of tips, techniques and secrets about tropical fish that no one else seems to know.     I've just finished putting all these tips, techniques and secrets into a new guide that will show you how to have a stunning aquarium full of tropical fish... without spending a fortune and with almost NO WORK! And it's called... Tropical Fish Secrets!   Other Secrets! That Pay!     Kind of an unusual title isn't it? However, it's very appropriate. You see, I told you I love aquariums. I think they are beautiful. They are vibrant, colorful, living pieces of art right in YOUR home!     It's always fun when a guest comes into my home for the first time... you can see their eyes light up like a little kids' and exclaim, "Wow, an aquarium!" as they make a "B-line" for it and proceed to gawk in amazement!     Who gets tired of that?     Something I never bargained for when I first started keeping fish was, when I got a little older, how much my kids would enjoy the aquarium. They are all just so enthralled with their little pets... they've even given them all names!     As an added benefit...it's educational! It's like having a science class right in your home. And feeding them is their job... it's nice for them to take some responsbility too, no matter how little it is.     But you know what?     Probably the biggest reward of owning an aquarium... and no one talks about this... is how relaxing it can be!     It's tranquil.     It's serene.     With all the stress in our busy lives it's nice to have a little sanctuary. There’s absolutely nothing like relaxing into your favorite chair, gazing into your stunning tropical aquarium and letting your mind take you away.     It's almost hypnotic.     The vivid colors ... the beautiful fish ... the lush green plants ... the graceful movements ... the sound of the bubbles ... the gentle hum of the air pump … you feel soothed as you breathe deeply ... a sense of calm wafts over your body … your thoughts begin to linger … as you drift away ...     See what I mean!     You can escape.     Even if its just for a fleeting moment. You always come back renewed, rejuvinated and oh... so... relaxed.     When you think about it, with all the great things about aquariums, who wouldn’t want one?     How could you resist?     I'll tell you how....     Remember my friend who was getting so "googly-eyed" looking at my stunning aquarium?     After a few moments of amazement (while my chest swelled) do you know what what came out of his mouth next? I'll bet you can almost guess.     It's almost inevitable.     They'll say something like, "Man I love aquariums... but... we had one when we were kids and... it turned green... or the fish died... or my parents got tired of all the work..."     If it wasn't their family it was their friend or someone else they knew. And their aquarium was a nightmare... or expensive... or complicated....     Know what I mean?     Lots of folks think that's true.     But it's not!     What if it were easy? What if it wasn't expensive? What if you didn't have to be a rocket scientist?     Would you want an aquarium then?     Bet you would!     Now, let me tell you a little more about myself...     Frankly, I'm cheap... I'm lazy... and to tell the truth... I ain't that bright!     (Doh!... I hope my wife isn't going to read this!)     What I meant to say was... I hate wasting money. And if given a choice, I'd rather play with my kids... or go golfing... or do just about anything other than clean up after pets. And, while I'm not what you'd call stupid... NASA isn't exactly pounding on my door bugging me to help out with the space shuttle...     But guess what... I've got a gorgeous aquarium in my home!     Along the way I've learned a few things... actually, some very ingenius, almost unkown, insider secrets... you can use to create your own breathtaking aquarium and I reveal them in my new guide.     But, here's a warning:     If you are one of those people who go through life believing in "no pain...no gain" or that "to have something worthwile you have to work at it really hard"... then this book probably is NOT for you. Having a gorgeous aquarium is... almost no work.     Or if you insist on shelling out lots of money because "you get what you pay for"... that in order for something to be valuableyou have to pay a lot of money for it... then this book probably is NOT for you either. (Unless you want to send me a really big check for it!) Owning your dream aquarium doesn't have to be an endless parade to the pet store to replace dead fish or buy more chemicals...     I can't remember when I've had to replace a fish... or buy anything other than food for that matter!   " I just wish that I found this book before I got into these tropical fish...you have answered all my fish problems. I have visited a pet shop many times to ask simple questions about my fish tank and they look at me like I have 2 heads! This is the first time in my life that I owned a fish tank and I was getting so frustrated. I was thinking of getting rid of it but I love to watch the fish and the ones that lived have become my family pets! Finally there is a book out there that tells people (with 2 heads) that fish can survive with a little help. I call your book myFish Bible! Now all I have to do is go to my library here in the house and look up what I might be doing wrong or what I might be doing right. My family and I thank-you very much...And most of all I hope your book will be a inspiration for other fish lovers out there." Penny Medway   "Your Book is Great! There is sooo much information about sooo many things! It's the best... for beginners or old hands. I sure learned a lot from it. P.S. The pictures are great too!

The truth about using a background. The 10 essential ingredients for your Fish First Aid Kit. You'll thank me for this one. If you're fish get sick you CAN help them get better.

The single biggest reason tanks get dirty--and how to avoid it. 3 little-known factors that are essential to plant health -- Somehow your friends just aren't impressed with dead, rotting, stinking plants floating around in your tank. Keeping them healthy is EASY when you know how. And that’s just a fraction of what you get with "Tropical Fish Secrets"!     Let's take a short "breather". We'll get back to more of what this remarkable book will teach you in just a moment. But first let's talk about why you'll never get this information in a pet store.     There are 2 reasons: 1. They don't know 2. They don't care.     Sound harsh? Let me explain.     First, have you been shopping lately? Retail outlets are in a crisis! Hiring anyone to staff their stores is difficult right now... hiring qualified candidates... especially in specialty areas like tropical fish is... almost impossible!     Don't beleive me? Check out your nearest national, big-box, pet outlet.     After you find them, wait for the staff members to finish their conversation about last night's party, and ask them a question.     Notice the blank stare.     And they look at YOU like YOU'RE an idiot!     When you go to a store like that you better be prepared to walk up to an aquarium, point to the fish you want and say “I want that one”.     Nuff said.     Secondly, as for them not caring... Ask yourself this, "When do you spend the biggest chunk of money in this hobby?" At the very beginning of course!     You need to invest in the aquarium, perhaps a stand, filter, heater and other equipment, plants, chemicals and, oh yeah... fish!     Now. What what is the pet shop's incentive to make sure you are successful?     The $5 you'll spend on food in the next 6 months? Not!     They actually make more money if you are unsuccessful because you'll need more chemicals to fix your problems and more fish to replace the dead ones!     When it comes to Tropical Fish and Aquariums... There IS a lot to know.     That’s one of the great things about this hobby. You could keep on learning new things for your whole life … if you want to.     But you don't HAVE to.     You don't NEED to know everything.     To be successful, to have a beautiful, clean aquarium full of healthy fish, YOU ONLY HAVE TO KNOW THE IMPORTANT STUFF...or at least have it available.     There is a certain amount of information that is essential. Necessary. Critical.     That’s where "Tropical Fish Secrets” comes in!     This breakthrough new book covers everything you NEED to know about your Tropical Fish and Aquarium. And I mean everything … if it’s not in the book, you can live without it.     There isn't a lot of wasted space filled with mildly-interesting but non-essential information.     It’s the only book you’ll ever NEED about Tropical Fish.     You’ll get advice you’d NEVER hear in a pet store!     It’s like getting a backstage pass into the real world of Tropical Fish keeping.     You’ll uncover all kinds of exciting tips … from how to pick your first aquarium and keep it clean to how to keep your fish healthy forever … with practically no work!     Taking care of an aquarium is less work than caring for and cleaning up after a dog or a cat. It doesn't have to be time-consuming drudgery.     You just need to know “What” to do and “When” to do it and “How” to do it.     That's what "Tropical Fish Secrets" delivers ... in a BIG way. (How would you like a gorgeous saltwater reef tank like this one?) "This book is absolutely & positively a MUST if you're starting out down the aquarium road! It's jam packed with useful information, so you don't have to make the same mistakes as the rest of us have. Full of comprehensive advice & some stunning pictures, this book is the bible of any budding aquarists." Darren Stewart, London, England     IF you don’t already own an aquarium, don’t spend a dime until you read this book.     The information you learn could easily save you 10 times the price! Without it you will make expensive mistakes… wrong size of tank, wrong type of aquarium, poor equipment, incompatible fish, poor water conditions, dead fish …or worse!     You could go out and buy an aquarium, a stand, equipment, plants, chemicals, food and fish … run into problems ... get frustrated ... and then throw in the towel! Quit. Empty your tank and put it away.     And doing all that could cost you upwards of $500!     You'll own an empty aquarium taking up space in your garage or attic … every once in a while you'll catch a glimpse of it. And it will be a gut-wrenching reminder of you how much money you wasted.     Don't let this happen to you. Get it right the first time with "Tropical Fish Secrets" by your side! It will Guide you every step of the Way! This brilliant book will become your lifelong companion!     It's unbelievably thorough.   "This book is so useful! It is very thorough. I would recommend this book to anyone looking at getting an aquarium." Jennifer Courneyea, Windsor, Canada     You see, "Tropical Fish Secrets" is the result of input from over 100 people! Everyone from novices just starting out, to experienced hobbyists and from professional breeders to veterinarians. It’s like having the collective wisdom and experience of 100 people available to answer your questions 24 hours a day!     Here's more of what "Tropical Fish Secrets" will teach you: In the chapter about SUBSTRATES (that’s a fancy name for the sand or gravel material that goes in the bottom of your tank), you learn about 6 different types -- how deep it should be -- what NOT to use -- and why substrate is important for the fish, the filtering system, the plants and the crustaceans! In the LIVE PLANTS section we reveal the most popular varieties -- which ones make a good centerpiece -- how to choose and care for them -- what makes the best growing medium -- the best lighting for plants -- the ideal temperature -- what the proper CO2 level should be and how to keep it there easily. In the FILTRATION section you’ll learn the 3 main types of filtration, the 4 most popular categories of filtrationdevices and how to choose the right one for your aquarium. In the FOOD section we discuss: basic food tips -- how much and how often to feed -- how to recognize and understand your fish's feeding habits -- 27 different types of foods you can feed your fish, their nutritional composition and even what vitamins may be necessary. In the WATER QUALITY section you learn about ammonia, nitrites, nitrates, GH, KH, pH, chlorine and chloramine, what they are, what level they should be and how to keep them there…easily and inexpensively     And there’s more! Loads More! ... a full 85 pages of pure information! No fluff... No filler... "... you saved a lot of verbiage without missing the important facts... (the book) is a digestible, easy to understand, compact guide for the beginner spiced with good humor and bits of knowledge new to those of us with years of experience. I recommend it as a valuable quick, concise foundation for all fish lovers." Karl J. Mc Craley Sr., Santa Ana, California  60 years experience!

You don’t have to be a fish scientist to understand it.     You’ll love the light-hearted approach.

I really think everyone should have a copy. I believe that with all my heart. So I'll tell you what..     I got to thinking.     Just this morning something really exciting happened.     As I was sitting in my office, working away, I heard a shriek of delight. It was my 5 year old. Then she exclaimed, "Dad there's a whole bunch of babies around Angel!" ("Angel", oddly enough, is a mamma guppy.)     By the time I got away from my desk and into the other room all 5 of my children were jostling for position in front of the aquarium and staring wide-eyed at the proud mother and her brood.     The kids had known that "Angel" was pregnant and that guppies are "livebearers". So the last few days were filled with anticipation. Barely half an hour would pass without someone checking to see if there were any babies. It was a lot of fun!     All 5 of them were completely enthralled and, as I watched them, I realized that you just can't buy that sort of an experience.     I recalled back when I'd had breeding tanks and how rewarding that had been ... the colorful courting rituals, eggs hatching, nurturing fry ...     Breeding tropical fish can be pretty neat!     That's when I decided I'd share something else with you.     If you go ahead and order "Tropical Fish Secrets" before midnight tonight -- Saturday, May 21, 2011 -- I'll throw in an an incredible book as a Gift to You!     It's called, "How to Breed Tropical Fish!"     This gem is worth its weight in gold!     I know, it's not something you absolutely NEED -- like "Tropical Fish Secrets".     But if you ever decide to try your hand at breeding your fish ... whether it's just for fun or to make a few dollars, this book is for you.     Here's just a taste of what you'll learn... 4 critical elements every breeding tank MUST have. How to "condition" your breeding pair (No, you don't make them swim laps!) What to keep OUT of the tank--If you don't know this, your fish won't even consider reproducing. How To Tell The Boys From The Girls (a useful thing to know when you're trying to breed, don't ya think?) Who Makes The Best Parents. Why flashing lights and loud noises may "set the mood". The difference between livebearers, egglayers, mouth brooders, nest builders and egg scatterers--and what you need to do differently for each of them. Which saltwater species breed most successfully in captivity. and tons more!     From guppies to seahorses and freshwater to saltwater, nothing is left out.     "How to Breed Tropical Fish" is a handy little book that I'd like you to have.     I was going to sell it on its own but if giving it to you is what it takes to convince you to try out "Tropical Fish Secrets" I guess I've got to bite the bullet...     Convinced yet? Yes? Good... Claim your Copy of "Tropical Fish Secrets" and Gifts Here     Still playing hard to get?     Stand back, here comes the kitchen sink!     If you act today, I'll throw in Gift number 2!     This one is the "motherlode" if you are interested in sheer volume of information!     "Freshwater Tropical Fish Profiles: 50 of Your Favorites!" provides very detailed information about 50 different breeds of freshwater fish.     This is a great resource encyclopedia for you. You may never actually read it cover to cover, but you will keep it around for years to come and pick it up when you are planning your next fish purchase.     This is exactly like the books you pay top dollar for at the bookstore. I was going to (and I probably still will) sell this resource for $27 all by itself! It's full of great pictures and, at almost 150 pages, it's bigger than the other two books combined!     Each section details very specific information about your favorite fish including, Other common names. Its scientific name, family and genus and "fancy shmancy" stuff like that. Where they come from in the wild. Ideal water chemistry and temperature. Detailed descriptions of their optimum body shape and coloration. What they like to eat. Very detailed instructions on how to breed them and raise the fry.     It was my own private resource. One I spent years compiling for my own use. It's not like "Tropical Fish Secrets" either. This isn't stuff you NEED to know. But when you really start to get involved in the hobby it's certainly something you'd LIKE to have. And most folks will go spend a few bucks to get it.     There. That's it. I've done all I can.     I hope it's enough.     (Now I really hope my wife doesn't read this... she'll really think I'm crazy for giving away the farm!)     To summarize.

Pen's For Life (Diabetic)

Everything You Need To Know About Insulin Pens

Insulin pen, or simply pen, is an insulin delivery system that allows the injection of insulin into the bloodstream of a diabetic. It comprises of an insulin cartridge, a pen needle, and a dial to measure the insulin dose. Its appearance is similar to that of a pen, only it is larger. Some of these parts are either disposable or non-replaceable. The insulin cartridge for one may need a replacement from time to time and the insulin needles are entirely disposable.

Insulin pens are used extensively in most countries, excluding the United States where vials, injections and syringes are the preferred tools for insulin injection. They come in various sizes ranging from 1.5 ml to 3.0 ml.

Types of Insulin Pens There are several manufacturers of insulin pens which make it possible for users to have a variety of options. There are the pre-filled pens that are usually recommended for type 2 diabetics. These pens have pre-mixed insulin dosage, making it easier for users to determine how much insulin is to be used. These pens are disposable and require replacements once the insulin cartridge becomes empty. The drawback of this type is that it does not accommodate any adjustments to Exercise and Diet.

The other type of pen is the durable pen. It makes use of replaceable insulin cartridges which are discarded only after their contents are fully used up. Once a new cartridge is in place, the pen is ready for use again.

A new addition to the existing insulin pens, pens that have built-in Memory allow users to store the time, date, and the amount of dosage. This makes it easier for users to tract their usage of insulin.

Advantages of insulin pens

There are three advantages to using insulin pens – ease of use, accuracy, and portability.

Usage Site for injection – The first step to using an insulin pen is to select the site where you want to inject your insulin dosage. There are a few in the body that make for good injection sites, including the abdominal area, thighs, buttocks, the area of the back just above the waist, legs, and upper arm. When choosing a site for injection, always stay an inch away from the previous site and two inches away from the navel or any scars. Also, be careful not to use sites that are swollen, bruised or tender.

To use your insulin pen, first clean the site for injection with an alcohol pad or a cotton ball dabbed with alcohol. Then, take off the cover of the pen and check how much insulin is left. If the insulin looks a bit cloudy, you can mix it gently by rolling the pen in your hands. Clean the end of the insulin pen afterwards.

The next step is to insert the disposable needle in its place. Once this is properly set in place, you can clear out any air pockets inside the pen by holding the pen up in the air while pushing the end of the pen until a drop of insulin is ejected. You may need to repeat this process for a couple of times until you see a drop of insulin at the tip of the needle.

Set the amount of insulin you want to use. Pinch and hold the site where you would want to inject the insulin. Insert the needle all the way down into your skin and continue pinching the skin for a few seconds more. Pull the pen out and gently massage the area of injection. Put the insulin pen cover back in its place.
