I got this stuff out of Women's World.
If you get depressed during the winter time take Vitamin D. Having too little D in your system inhibits your body from producing seratonin, which makes you feel tired and depressed. The doctor reccomendation is 1000 of IU of vitamin D daily.
Lack of sunlight can make blood sugar levels fluctuate, which makes you crave sweets and other carbs that keep your body from using insulin correctly. Cinnamon slows the rate at which carbs are absorbed. The reccomendation is to sprinkle 1/2 tsp. of ground cinnamon on oatmeal, coffee, etc.
If you have arthritis,or other problems that cause aches and pains, make sure you get a full eight hours of sleep each night.According to research, sleep boosts production of growth hormones, which reduce inflammation and speed healing of damaged tissues.
If I get tired it makes me feel worse; here's some pick-me-ups that were suggested.
Eat fiber rich cereal and foods. Being constipated can make you feel sluggish.
A study showed that participants who listened to music that had progressive tempos had more energy than those who only listened to fast music.
Rubbing each fingertip for 15 seconds boosts your blood flow, which releases extra oxygen to your brain.
A study from Wheeling Jesuit University showed that the aroma of peppermint activates the ares of the brain that governs alertness.Athletes who inhaled the scent apparently worked harder without realizing it.
Look at something green. Apparently there receptors in the eyes that are sensitive to green, stimulating the brain and relaxing the strain that causes tiredness.
All of these things are in the February 1, 2010 issue of Women's World.
What did the pen say to the pencil?
So, what,s your point?LOL

Typing
Hello! I just got finished taking a typing lesson online. I never took typing in school. It was not required where I went. Now I wish it had been. I'm trying to become an author; it helps if you know how to type. Up till now, I've gotten my niece to type for me. She is in college and has her own things to type. So I got on the internet one day and googled to see if I could find typing lessons for free. I ended up at a site that has typing lessons, tests, and games for free. I am progressing very nicely. Each lesson has only 2 letters you practice with. You choose the lesson you need and how many words per minute is your goal. It suggests 15 wpm to start. You can go lower if you want. And it tells you which fingers to use. After you reach your goal it will ask if you want a certificate printed off. I decline because this is for myself. But if you had to learn for work, its helpful to have that. I have learned the letters and some punctuation and am now on numbers. I took 2 lessons today.
The reason I'm putting this on here is to say that it makes me feel better to accomplish something. It also helps ease depression to have something to do every day if you don't get out much because of health. And this typing thing gives me a goal to work toward. It helps me to feel better about myself and my circumstances to have a clear goal to be working towards every day. The site address is: freetypinggame.net
What did the hat say to the hat stand?
You stay here, I'll go on a head. LOL
