20 Jan 10 Increase Your Memory Brain Power

Have you ever forgotten where something is, and then spent an hour hopelessly searching for the item, without being able to remember where you put it? That’s a problem everybody goes through once or twice. Have you ever thought about increasing your memory power so that doesn’t happen anymore?

There are several benefits to improving memory. You’ll increase your brain power overall. Plus giving your memory a workout fairly often, at as early an age as possible, is a great way to fight against memory problems that come with age. The best way to do that is to get your sleep.

Medical professionals always stress how important getting at least 7-8 hours sleep a night really is, and that fact can’t be overstated. Lack of sleep causes and inflames all manner of health problems, including problems in your brain. One of those issues, is memory. Not getting enough sleep increases the likelihood that you could develop memory problems.

Eat plenty of brain health foods to provide the opportunity for your brain to function at it’s peak effectiveness. Fish like Salmon are extremely good for you because of the beneficial Omega-3s that help your brain and cardiovascular system. The same principle is true for berries such as blueberries and acai. Both also contain natural healthy Omega-3s.

Play a few brain specific puzzles a few times a week to increase your brain power. Things like crosswords, or even a game like Scrabble. Something that forces you to think, and learn new facts or words as you play, to flex your brain power. Also reading is a big help, as reading requires a lot more brain activity than other forms of entertainment. Reading is a fantastic way to work out your mind, and keep your memory in tip top condition.

Remember also to keep a healthy lifestyle. Exercise and a healthy diet are just as important to your brain as the rest of your body. By eating healthy and exercising you increase what your body can do in all aspects of life. Your brain health is no different, and you should follow the same principles.

20 Jan 10 Exercise Machines That Hurt Your Workout

Exercise is a necessity for a healthy lifestyle. But doing the wrong sort of exercise can be just as detrimental as good exercise is beneficial. There are likely to be more than a few machines at your gym that you should avoid altogether. These machines won’t do much to further your fitness, and can actually do damage in the long run. You should always strive to exercise longer, and in the long term, these machines are a few you can do without:

-Ab Machines are something that you should almost never use. Working your core is essential, but ab machines typically force you into a certain posture that could be uncomfortable, and can do damage to your back and neck muscles. Working your core should be strengthening these muscles, not damaging them. So it’s best to stick to the old school methods of like crunches.

-Standing Calf Raises being performed incorrectly is actually a huge cause of spinal and back problems stemming from exercise. Plus these do not offer enough calf strengthening to make them worth the risk. Stick to exercises like jump-roping and stair-stepping if you want to strengthen those calves.

-Leg Press. While a good idea, basically you’re doing squats in an unnatural position. Any machine that forces you into an isolated and unnatural pose is always a bad thing. Stick to squats if you want to strengthen your legs. The target all the areas you’d need to work, and are much, much better for your body.

-Back Machines also are usually a bad idea. Back machines almost always force your back into an uncomfortable or unnatural position, and they don’t work the muscles around your back. Stick to exercises that allow you to move in more natural and comfortable ways. That way you work your back, and supporting muscles in your core. Through this method you’re actually growing stronger, and will be less likely to suffer problems from having used a back machine.

19 Jan 10 Getting Quick Money During A Recession

Many people are suffering under the weight of recession burdens, whether losing your job, or creating enough income to scrap by during company cutbacks. There isn’t a lot of work out there, and unemployment doesn’t always make ends meet. Where do you turn when it looks as though there aren’t very many places? Well, here are a few ideas to at least supplement your income. Probably not enough to survive on, but enough that you can at least carry on.

Take advantage of places like eBay. Consider selling off some of the old stuff that you don’t use. Anything from clothing that you or family member either don’t wear or have outgrown (as long as the clothing is still in good condition). Old games, movies, etc that you don’t use as much as you thought you would when you purchased the items. A resource like eBay can clear out items you don’t use, and put money in your pocket that you desperately need.

Try some work from home opportunities. If your area is really reeling from the recession, consider finding a job online, where the pastures may be greener. There are a wealth of opportunities from freelance writing and editing, to data entry positions, and even online customer service. All of which you can do from your own home, on your own computer, with your own internet connection.

Keeping with the online opportunities you can also try taking surveys online. You can actually make a nice chunk of change taking surveys if you can find the right places. Most of them work on a pay scale where you get so many points for each survey, and then you can trade in your points for money. Probably not enough to live on, but definitely enough to help out.

These tips are really only meant to be short term solutions. They won’t help you in the long run, most likely. But they can be great money earners to help you in the short term, and can really get you out of a financial bind.
