Learning the Beauty of Small Talk
It can be Beneficial

Whether it's at a party, a friend's wedding, or the workplace, some people just dread small talk. And while these events are great places to meet new people, it can bring more anxiety than excitement for some. They might worry that it will be boring, awkward, or that they'll run out of things to say. Then there are people who believe small talk represents meaningless and trivial conversation. But it doesn't have to be that way! In reality, increased well-being and positivity are some of the benefits of small talk.

Be interested in things

People with hobbies and interests always seem to have a topic or an opinion to share. Get inspired by them, and you'll have a launching point to get someone else involved in conversation.

Get your mind right

If you spend the week before the event anticipating and worrying because you know you'll feel uncomfortable, you're setting yourself up for failure.…

Researchers show more energy needed to get going than later in walks when body is working more efficiently.

Researchers have hit on an unusual tip for walkers who want to burn more calories: rather than plodding along steadily from start to finish, consider taking rest stops.

The advice emerged from a study of volunteers who were put through their paces in the laboratory to measure the oxygen and energy demands of short strolls versus longer walks.

Tests on the participants found that walking or climbing stairs in 10- to 30-second bouts required 20 to 60% more oxygen, a proxy for energy consumption, than covering the same distance in one continuous session, largely because walking is more efficient after several minutes in motion.

“When we walk for shorter bouts, we use more energy and consume more oxygen to cover the same distance,” said Francesco Luciano, a researcher at the University of Milan and first author on the study.…

Kids NEED To Explore - Don't Limit Their Imagination

Children’s Indoor Lifestyle Stunts Their Imagination
Sydney Morning Herald

The way we have allowed our housing market to develop means that most of our new our homes are extraordinarily close together (“Ban kids from social, but what will they do outside?”, September 14). They are designed to look inwards; there is no scope for seeing wider horizons. And with this comes a tendency for a narrowness of imagination and vision. This means that Daisy Turnbull’s point is well made. Where are the backyards to play in?…

By Janet Vargas - Independent Natural Health Researcher 30+ Years

Friends, You really need to know the FACTS on "High Cholesterol" and the MEDICOS who Prescribe STATINS more then Ever in Recent Times and Why this is So........I do not want You to be caught unaware, what You are getting Yourself into if You give Your Consent and start taking them.

So many of us are caught Off-Guard with those approaches and say Yes, not knowing what's involved in such a decision. It comes as No Surprise to some of us just how deliberate that Campaign is - not really in Our Best Interest like the MD/GPs (Practitioners) would have us believe. It's quiet maddening, many MD/GPs are approaching their patients with Healthy Cholesterol to "go on Statins, now they are a certain Age as a precautionary measure for their Health"...............that's Reprehensible, an absolute Marketing PLOY. You should be aware of this beforehand.…

By Emily Lawence - Parade.Com

All berries are good for cardiovascular health,
but 2 Cardiologists agree that this one comes out on top.

If you were to stock your kitchen full of heart-healthy foods, leafy greens, nuts, beans and salmon are some great ones to start with. Another top food for heart health is berries. Berries may be small, but they're packed with nutrients that benefit cardiovascular health.


All types of berries (besides poisonous ones, of course) are good for heart health and it’s best to eat a wide variety to get a good mix of nutrients. But if you want to prioritize one type of berry with heart health in mind, cardiologists are in agreement on which type to go for.
