Simple method to help lower your BP...

Regularly completing any repetitive isometric exercise, involving squeezing, induces relaxation and lowers your blood pressure - says American Heart Association spokesman Richard Stein MD.

There is a new product on the market, The Zona Plus Hypertension Relief, that moderates your every squeeze. Squeezing it for 12 minutes 5 days a week, for up to 8 weeks, lowers blood pressure in 90 % of user's.

The downside is that the product cost $400.

Try squeezing a tennis ball for the same amount of time, 5 days a week for up to 3 months.
Be sure to monitor your BP every two weeks to track your progress.

The Zona product can be found at www.zona.com .

Success

"Success is peace of mind. Wich is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming" - John Wooden

Are you doing your best to feel and look the best that you are capable of?

If not, start holding yourself accountable and stop making excuses.

The Evolution of Night Owls...

Night owls are smarter than other people, and n. ow we may know why.

The modern world contains many features our slow-to-evolve brains still find unfamiliar- cars, TVS, hot dogs fried in corn crumbs ect. But the world has always thrown new stuff at us, and more intelligent people tend to adapt more ably.

Satoshi Kanazawa, a psychologist at The London School of Economics and Political Science, argues that, while we have specialized mental modules for navigation, social interaction and other age old tasks- general intelligence is its own module handling only evolutionarily novel circumstances. Prof. Kanazawa has data showing that people with higher IQs are more likely to have values and preferences that just didn't make sense for our ancestors to embrace. One of those is staying up late at night.

A previous study found that evening people are smarter than morning people.
In a new paper, Kanazawa replicates the finding and provides a theoretical ground.
Because the nocturnal lifestyle allowed by electricity didn't exist 10,000 years ago,
we must now rely on general intelligence to override our early-to-bed instincts.
So those with more GI, stay up later.

Regain control of your life...

Look for triggers that have caused you to gain weight. They may include family problems, stress at work and even loneliness. Now eliminate them. They're most likely the cause of bad habits, like grabbing cookies or cupcakes when you leave worl and gorging yourself when you get home.

Do whatever it takes to initiate positive change, but be mindful to not try to do too much too soon. Make gradual changes that will become a permanent way of life - do not make changes just to lose a few pounds for a specific event, only to go back to your negative habits soon after.
