The term “dementia” is used to describe a set of symptoms that can include memory loss, difficulty thinking, problem solving, or issues with language. Dementia is caused by damage to the brain cells, and because Alzheimer's is a disease that destroys the brain, it is one of the most common causes of dementia.

The dirty dozen and the clean 15 refer respectively to the fruits and vegetables that are the most and least contaminated by pesticide use.
Why do we care? Pesticides are toxic by design! Different pesticides have been linked to a variety of health problems, including hormone disruption, cancer and brain toxicity. But for most people, switching to organic produce is a gradual process. Because organic foods tend to be more expensive than their counterparts, making informed choices in the produce aisle helps minimize pesticide consumption while keeping the budget in check! Should you avoid the dirty dozen? Absolutely not! Fresh fruits and vegetables are always a healthier choice than processed foods. Besides, non-organic processed foods are sure to contain a slough of chemicals too! Instead, let the guide dictate your allocation of organic vs. non-organic purchases. Why eat organic food? All of this opens up a bigger discussion about the choice to eat organic food — and the reasons that not everyone does. Often, the decision comes down to bottom line. Which is where the dirty dozen and the clean 15 come into play. The list is a resource to help you make the best choices for your health and for the earth, whatever your current budget or state of greenness.

If you’re like most people, you eat dinner, watch TV for a couple hours then fall asleep. People who are happy in life tend to have a pattern of good sleep and healthy routines before bed.
They know that if they want to enjoy the next day they must enjoy a good night's rest. If you want to wake up with a smile on your face work on doing these 10 things happy people do every night before bed. 1) They spend quality time with loved ones. People who are happy generally love their jobs and are passionate about what they do. They know they’ll likely be pretty busy during the days so they make the most of their nights by spending time with their family and friends. 2) They plan something fun It’s important to do something that’s fun so that it distracts you from the impending next day. You could watch a movie or plan some physical activates and prepare mentally for it. 3) They plan for the next day Some people love to set tasks and goals for the next day. This is beneficial because it keeps you focused and clear with what you want to achieve that day. We often can get fabulous ideas or remember important items for our "To Do" list when trying to go to sleep. Take five minutes to do a "Brain Release." The trick is to do this without stressing yourself out. 4) They exercise, stretch or do yoga Exercise is a great way to lift yourself from the stresses of work. Create a routine of light exercise, stretching, or yoga on a favorite yoga mat. Focus on your body for a few minutes. Take lots of deep, long breaths and allow the stress of the day to leave you. This doesn't have to be a long workout. Just a few minutes as a part of your bedtime routine. 5) They eat something healthy While it’s tempting to have a few glasses of wine, alcohol is a depressant which make you feel less energized in the morning. Loading up on sugary desserts or caffeine and alcohol will not help you wake up happy. You will most likely wake up groggy and heavy. It's totally okay to eat and drink before bed. Just make healthy choices like water, nuts, and bananas. 6) They read Not magazines or Facebook. Read stories, biographies and inspirational writings that will make you happy and inspired to continue to live your life to the fullest. Studies have shown that happy people read a lot. Give yourself a few minutes of relaxing reading with no noise before heading to bed. 7) They return calls, emails and texts The early evening is an excellent time to return phone calls from friends or family and to respond to text or emails we didn’t have time to during the day. 8) They unplug After you finish your days’ work on the technology, unplug and do anything but work right before bed. Everything. The phone, the TV, the computer, the tablet...Everything. Technology is distracting and can be over stimulating to the brain. The blue light from these devices also tell our brains that it is day time. 9) They relax You need to find some time to recharge your body to get ready for the day ahead. Have some YOU time and tranquility, at least for a few minutes. A good night sleep and a healthy meal are essential. 10) They reflect Step back and examine what you’re feeling, especially if you have a tough job. Writing down your thoughts can help you get to the bottom of what’s bugging you, or give you perspective that things really aren’t so bad. It can provide a valuable emotional release. Take time every night to meditate on the blessings in your life. Think about the good things that happened in your day. Take notice of the people you love and the friendships you have.

Are You Small Enough? Hung like Hercules? She might actually prefer a smaller version?
Downsize your assumptions: Men think a 7-inch erection is ideal, but women actually prefer an inch less, according to research published in the journal Psychology of Men & Masculinity. Not only did women not consider a larger-than-average penis desirable, but their ideal size matched that of the average package.

I came across the article and it is a well written by the New York Times.
https://goo.gl/ZvlmJl I get it - that the hospital rooms need to be fit for the purpose but if you want to listen to the patients lots more is needed. The top priority is best medical care to be safe and leave the hospital healthy. But there is a lot more to it and a lot of Hospitals have started looking into the overall holistic approach of the patient experience. Sadly in many hospitals patient experience is just a “complaint handing” department. Here is the list what patients want, beside the quality care from the clinical team.
this is just a short list and there are many more details. I am still stunned by the fact that what a patient really wants is never a priority. Here is the article of the New York Times: https://goo.gl/ZvlmJl @DhruvKhullar @NYTimes
