Miami Trainer Shares Secrets To Saving Money When Buying Supplements [Video]

2022-05-04T20:10:00.007-07:00

I'm sharing this secret with you today because aside from "what exercise should I do for this" (fill in the blank), the supplement question gets thrown at me on social media left and right. Here's an important fact about supplements before we move on, they don't work like magic or cause a chemical reaction right away like a typical drug. The best way to gauge a supplement is overtime. Most supplements are just nutrients that you can find in food or nature. Hence my smoothie recommendation in the video.

If our present food system weren't so toxic, supplements would be less important. In these trying times were in right now I have to say they're important. But not an absolute need. There are people who's able to survive without them. In the following video I show you how to get all the micronutrients you need by drinking a single tropical smoothie. It taste great and saves you a whopping two hundred and fifty-dollars a month per month.

Sadhguru Warns About The Looming Soil Crisis [video]

2022-03-16T08:58:00.003-07:00

Watch Sadhguru on The Daily Show with Trevor Noah as they discuss the impact of industrial agriculture, the urgent need to Save Soil and the simple ways in which everyone can participate in saving soil. He's a yogi, mystic, visionary, and spiritual master with a wealth of knowledge in all areas of human interest.

I appreciate Sadhguru so much for speaking on this topic. I'm 44 and in my life I notice fruit and vegetables do not taste the same. They're less sweet, not as large, not as vibrant in terms of color and less juicy. Maybe younger people don't notice because they don't have the experience of things being different. In the 80's I was a child - the air was cleaner, the food tasted better and it was quieter. There were so many birds, butterflies and insects but not anymore. It's definitely a problem. Too many pesticides are being used. We definitely need to revitalize our soil.

Miami Personal Trainer Shares An Inspiring Story On How Tony Robbins Reverse Coronary Artery Disease From The Book The Plant Paradox

2022-02-15T05:53:00.001-08:00

Cavakia's note: The following success story is an excerpt from the book The Plant Paradox by renowned cardiologist Dr. Steven Gundry

A God Learned how to cure himself

My good friend Tony Robbins called me about five years ago, looking for help. An eminent guru, a holy man considered a "God" to twelve million people around the world, was in a hospital in India, awaiting an urgent five-vessel coronary artery bypass grafting for severe coronary artery disease. Could I intervene and help him avoid surgery? My answer was a resounding yes! It's not every day that I meet a God.

The sixty-two-year-old guru's blood work did not look promising. Not only did he have severe coronary artery blockages, he was also terribly diabetic, with HbA1Cs - a marker of sugar and protein intolerance - of greater than 9.0 [normal is less than 5.6], and advance kidney failure. When he consulted me via Skype, I asked him if he was indeed a god, and he replied with that people call him a god because he performs miracles and cures people. I responded by asking, why he doesn't just cure himself, if he performs miracles. His reply? "You know how this god thing works; I can cure anyone else, but I can't cure myself! That's what I need you for." We hit off immediately.

The guru was being treated by an ayurvedic physician, and he ate a traditional Indian diet heavy on rice, legumes, and naan, a kind of flatbread. He had a classic "Delhi belly," aka a beer belly. When I made it clear that the foods of his faith were the cause of his diabetes, heart disease, and kidney failure, he was shocked. These were the foods recommended by all the gods before him. How could they be so unhealthy? My reply was the same as it is to anyone else who eats "healthy"; how's all that healthy eating working out for you if you have all these diseases?

As Einstein was fond of saying, the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result. I put the god on The Plant Paradox Program, and within a few weeks his chest pain was gone and his blood sugar level started to decline. Things were going well for about three months, until his blood tests results were suddenly terrible again. When we next skyped, I asked him what happened. Apparently, every three months there is a festival to worship him and all the monks, and his followers showers him with foods for the gods, which he is obliged to eat. This pattern repeated itself for about two years; two steps forward, one step back every three months when another festival occurred. Finally, on a Skype call a few years in, I couldn't take it anymore. "Aren't you god to your followers?" I asked. "Yes," he replied. "Well, doesn't god make the rules about what god likes to eat and what pleases him?" I asked. "I never thought about it like that," he said. "I will tell my monks and my followers that we must all eat Gundry style to please me." And that's just what he did.

Today, the guru's skin has a radiant glow of health. His stress tests on his heart rate are normal, and his kidney failure is history, as his diabetes. Without medications, his HbA1C is an acceptable 5.5 and going down. Oh, and one more thing: His ayurvedic doctor now also eats Gundry style! Each one of us has the power, the green life force energy, to heal from within once the external forces that prevent that natural ability are removed. The god had the power to heal himself, after all. As he and I agreed, I can show you the path, but it is you who must walk in it.

Gab Launches Brand-New Job Board To Help Unvaccinated Americans

2021-09-30T22:06:00.002-07:00

The No Vax Mandate Job Board at Gab.com declares ‘Now Hiring!’

While vaccine mandates continue to sweep the nation in connection with the fight against COVID-19, the free speech social media Gab.com in August launched a "No Vax Mandate Job Board" to help American employers and workers who want nothing to do with the shots.

"Is your current employer forcing to inject a foreign substance into your body in order to retain work?" Asked Andrew Torba, CEO of Gab. "Are you a business owner who doesn't do this and is looking to hire?" Join the No Vax Mandate Job Board on Gab."

Torba says he created the group "in light of the Biden Administration encouraging employers to mandate vaccine in order to retain employment while ironically not requiring vaccine for their own staff."

"This job board is for sharing job openings that do not require employees to inject themselves with an experimental substance or violate their bodily autonomy and religious beliefs in order to retain employment. This is also a board for job seekers to share their resume, skills, and story."

"At Gab we do not require our employees to be vaccinated. In fact we don't pry into any of the personal health choices of our team because frankly it's none of our business. We know there are many businesses who share these values with us and many people looking to work for those businesses."

Andrew Torba, CEO of Gab.com (Video screenshot)

"As Facebook and other big tech giants work to silence and 'fact check' any and all vaccine dissent, Gab remains committed to the mission of being home of the free speech, individual sovereignty, and the free flow of information online."

Torba is offering a job posting template for the group, encouraging users to copy, paste and fill it out:

For Employers

Already a variety of employers are letting people know that they're hiring without forcing people to receive a COVID-19 jab.

There are also comments from those seeking work, including:

"I've been in health care for 30 years. DME, Respiratory and sleep disorders. Need a new job due to mandate."
"I was fired because of Hobby Lobby's Vaxed vs Unvaxed segregation policy."
"Without, exemptions my husband with be let go on October 29th. He has 26 years with the same company. He is a mechanical engineer, has done many years of management, and energy manager for 2 years. We are in the north Texas area."
"Plumber looking for work in the Northern Michigan area, where I plan to move in a few weeks or months. 3 years of experience, specializing in new construction."
"Oh i's coming for our outpatient radiology office in Florida. Our owner lives in Alabama. Right now it's only managers who are mandated...Which I told them was odd to begin with. So if this comes down to us, our entire radiology will be let go. From front desk receptionist to insurance to technologist. Maybe someone could just buy us out from our crazy owner"

One person who didn't mention a personal need for employment noted, I think all those fired for not wanting a VAX need a big class action lawsuits. Get together now."

Alan Siegel Helps Consumers Simplify Legal Documents

2020-12-14T17:39:00.002-08:00

From tax forms to credit card agreements, documents are packed with jargon. One branding expert says it's time to ditch legalese and simplify business forms.

Passport applications. Tax forms. Bills and other legislation. Credit card contracts. Terms of service. Do all of these documents make you cringe? Of course they do, because they're obtuse forms crammed with legalese and other jargon that are difficult to parse, visually and mentally.

Branding and business communications expert Alan Seigel says the age of incomprehensibly long paperwork must come to an end.

If you're a veteran coming back from Iraq or Vietnam you face a blizzard of paperwork to get your benefits. If you're trying to get a small business loan, you face a blizzard of paperwork.

He says it's time to implement simple, sensible redesigns - in plain English - to help make legal paperwork intelligible to average folks.

Meet Fleets: Twitter's Version Of Stories

2020-11-17T09:19:00.009-08:00

Twitter's got a new feature, and it'll probably sound familiar.

It's called Fleets, a new tool that lets you write text, post photos, videos, or add earlier tweets into a little visual info-nugget that disappears after 24 hours.

So, pretty much exactly the same as Instagram Stories, which themselves are a rip-off of Snapchat Stories. Frankly, I am surprised it took Twitter this long to launch this.

The feature is rolling out globally, starting Tuesday, so it may not be available to you right away. It should be on everyone's Twitter for iOS and Android "in the coming days," Twitter says.

ALSO SEE: The Benefits Of A Twitter Hashtag

Twitter started testing Fleets back in March 2020 in several countries, including Brazil, Italy, India, and South Korea, and the feedback was probably good enough for the company to introduce them globally. "Because they disappear from view after a day, Fleets helped people feel more comfortable sharing personal and casual thoughts, opinions, and feelings," the company said in a press release.

Aside from their ephemeral nature, Fleets are different from tweets in other ways. They don't allow retweets, likes, or replies, but you can reply to them in the form of Direct Messages. The idea, according to Twitter group product manager Mo Aladham is for users to use Fleets to share "casual, everyday thoughts." That's opposed to the deep, structured conversation you typically get on Twitter, I guess.

Parents' Guide To A Safe And Fun Covid-19 Halloween

2020-10-08T20:21:00.004-07:00

Covid-19 Halloween Safety

The spooky season is upon us and kids are already feeling the excitement they always do this time of year. But It turns out there’s something scarier than witches and goblins this Halloween: a virus that has already made 2020 one of the hardest years anyone can remember, taking the lives of over 200,000 Americans in the last six months alone, and effectively destroying anything “normal” we once knew.

There’s no doubt our kids are desperate for, and deserving of, some fun right now. They’re missing their friends, their sporting activities, and even school. So what’s the harm in letting them put on a costume, maybe even one with a mask, and allowing them to go door to door for some Halloween trick-or-treating?

Just one normal thing in a year that has been anything but.

Trick-or-Treating: Experts Make the Call

The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recently released guidance on Halloween activities. Their advice isn’t likely to make kids or parents very happy: traditional trick-or-treating has officially been dubbed a high-risk activity that should be avoided this year.

“Taking part in some normal Halloween activities could increase transmission of Covid-19,” epidemiologist and senior medical director at Grand Rounds, Dr. Tista Ghosh, recently told Miami Observer.

Even with masks and attempted social distancing, the problem with trick-or-treating is the sheer number of people kids come in contact with—and the difficulty in maintaining distance and proper hand sanitizing as candy is being passed back and forth between countless children and adults.

Dr. Kristin Hughes is an emergency physician, frontline responder, and mom to a two-year-old herself. She explained that while parents typically allow their children to parade through the neighborhood and up to stranger’s doors for this once-a-year holiday tradition, “This year (if allowed) they could be coming home with a potentially deadly COVID-19 virus along with that snickers bar.”

The risks, according to Hughes, include exposure to individuals who have not been following quarantine protocols and who may or may not have been recently infected. Beyond that, she explained, it’s impossible to guarantee that those handing out candy will be wearing masks themselves.

And it’s not just the strangers opening their doors to children who pose a risk.

“In the beginning of the pandemic, it was unclear whether kids transmit coronavirus,” Ghosh said. “But now evidence shows that kids can absolutely transmit the virus. This puts the people they interact with at risk, particularly if they have underlying conditions.”

For this reason, she said it’s important people remain vigilant during Halloween festivities. But there is good news. “While normal trick-or-treating is considered a high-risk activity, making some changes to avoid face-to-face interaction would help mitigate the spread of Covid-19,” Ghosh explained.

Trick-or-Treating Alternatives

There’s no reason to cancel Halloween altogether. “COVID has already had devastating effects on people's mental health,” Ghosh said, explaining that eliminating beloved holiday celebrations only stands to make that worse. “Because many kids look forward to Halloween each year, completely taking it away could add to the difficulties they are already experiencing.”

While there is no zero-risk activity, Ghosh said that taking the necessary precautions can keep you and your family safe this year, while still allowing kids to dress up and have fun.

For parents who want to give their kids a memorable Halloween without the extra Covid risks, both Ghosh and Hughes had some great trick-or-treating alternatives to suggest:

Choose costumes for yourself and your kids that include masks, and even gloves
Leave candy on your lawn instead of handing it out in order to avoid those face-to-face interactions—and encourage your neighbors to do the same
Ensure kids are washing their hands both before and after eating candy
Consider holding a virtual event or Zoom costume contest
Instead of trick-or-treating, hide candy in different rooms of the house and let your kids go hunting
Have a family pumpkin carving contest
Buy lots of supplies and make homemade costumes as a family, posting the results to social media for your friends to ooooh and ahhhh at

Hughes further advised setting the tone in your neighborhood for safety, telling parents not to answer their doors on Halloween night and to instead leave a sign on the door stating:

HAPPY HALLOWEEN.

WE ARE KEEPING YOU SAFE BY NOT GIVING OUT CANDY THIS YEAR.

HOPE TO SEE YOU NEXT YEAR FOR TRICK OR TREATING.

Hosting a Safe Halloween Party

If you simply can’t imagine Halloween without your friends and extended family to celebrate with, Ghosh suggested holding a small, outdoor Halloween party. The keys to success for a relatively safe Halloween party include costumes with masks, social distancing, and readily available hand sanitizer.

“Use designated spots or creative decorations to encourage kids and adults to remain at least six feet apart from each other, where they can do in-place activities like freeze dance (to spooky music) or pumpkin painting,” Ghosh said.

Other possible activities include dance and pumpkin carving contests and even a Halloween fashion show. “For older kids, consider an outdoor scary movie night, where seats are placed 6+ feet apart,” Ghosh said. “And one of the best ideas I've heard is having an outdoor coronavirus piñata, where kids can take turns (while others wait 6+ feet away) taking a swing at that mean old virus.”

If you do host a party, consider pre-packaging snacks and treats into individual servings to avoid multiple hands touching the same food items. And instead of candy buckets, which Hughes said can be a pool of germs, spread candy out where individual pieces can be grabbed without touching candy others might eat.

Ultimately, Hughes explained that this Halloween is going to be whatever parents make of it. “The parent's attitude will likely make the difference. Choose to make it a new adventure instead of a deviation from the traditions. There is lots of fun to be had without placing our children in danger.”

Dog Learns How To Talk Using A Sound Board [Video]

2020-10-01T05:48:00.003-07:00

Most pet owners are proud when their dog learns to give them its paw. But this 11-month-old sheepadoodle, named Bunny, has gone one step further by learning to "speak' using a sound board.

The following video shows the dog, aged 11 months, pressing different buttons to ask to play, go out and even tell owner Alexis Devine, from Tacoma, Washington, that he loves her. Bunny was introduced to Augmentative Alternative Communication or AAC for short, as soon as he arrived at the Devine family home in September 2019. The genius dog learned to press down on a specific button when he wanted to go outdoors or go for wee wee.

The first word he mastered was 'outside' but his vocabulary now also includes 'play,' 'beach' and 'park.' The dog can also talk about Ms Devine's pet cat, named spooky. He uses the buttons to say 'Play, Spooky' and also to ask for 'happy scritches' - a tickly scratch on his head.

How Many Bodybuilders Does It Take To Bend A Barbell? [Video]

2020-09-06T12:41:00.000-07:00

It actually takes four Youtube bodybuilding legends to bend a 45 pound cast iron olympic barbell. But the strategy they use to perform this unconventional task is a must watch for anyone interested in fitness and muscle stuff. The video features bodybuilder/powerlifter Larry Wheels and his bodybuilding workout partners Andrew Jacked, Jantee Shaaban and Mohamed Hayman. Together they're about to put a smackdown on a solid piece of steel.

First up to bend is host Larry Wheels and Andrew Jacked. The two pair of massive bodybuilders tried to fold the silver barbell for two minutes with very little success to show for it. The plan got really interesting when the other two fitness buffs joined in. With four accomplished powerlifter and three attempts the barbell eventually folded. So it took four bodybuilders weighing over two hundred pounds each applying brute force to bend an olympic barbell. It's one the coolest workout videos I've seen in a long time. Hope you enjoy it as well :)

11-Year -Old Girl Transforms RV Into Tiny Home For $800

2020-08-22T05:40:00.001-07:00

With most consumer activities canceled this year, many kids were struggling to find ways to keep busy. But one creative upstate girl used that downtime to design a tiny house. Lauren Nelson, 11, spent the last two months turning a rundown camper into a diminutive domicile after being inspired by an American Girl doll magazine.

"She showed us a $650 little VW bus that they sell. My husband was like, that's ridiculous, you could buy your own camper for that price," Aimee nelson, her mother, told local news outlet WKBW.

So the preteen decided to give it a try. Lauren started saving some money while keeping an eye out for a camper she could buy near her hometown of Attica, NY, which is 35 miles east of buffalo. Opportunity struck when a neighbor put a "for sale" sign on their RV. "She squealed the whole way home", said her mother.

Great job, Lauren, for your design courage and creativity at such a young age. I have no doubts you've inspired countless others to do the same thing. Watch the video for more on this story.

This video produced by Patrick Bet-David of Valuetainment takes us back to 2009 when an Obama sanctioned comity was toying with the thought of space exploration.

No-Sweat Ways To Build A Good Remote Team

2020-01-21T19:34:00.002-08:00

In the past, most work at companies was done by employees who physically work in the building. While this is still true at many companies, there is also an influx of remote work taking place. The internet and other advancements in technology has allowed companies to hire people from all over the world, and work remotely.

While there is a lot of information about everything wrong with being a digital nomad, there are also some benefits too. As a result, it is no surprise that more and more people are deciding to work remotely. In fact, some numbers show that around the world, around 70% of people work remotely at least once a week.

Also, once people begin to work remotely, they don’t want to go back. A study found that 99% of respondents want to continue working remotely in some capacity for the rest of their careers. So it seems that remote work and the benefits it provides are here to stay. But what goes into building a good remote team? Well if that’s something you were curious about, you have come to the right place. This article is going to look at a few tips to build up a good remote team.

Use the Right Tools and Software

When having a remote team, using the right technology can have huge benefits. Your team will likely use this technology to communicate, collaborate, update and work. Without the right technology, your productivity and profitability could suffer.

The kinds of tools you use will vary from scheduling apps to ATS software (here is an ATS software explanation), and everything in between. There are dozens, maybe even hundreds, of tools out there that can help you, so be sure to choose the right ones. Some are free, some are paid and the benefits offered by each will differ. Do your research and invest in the technologies that offer the features your company needs and wants.

Communicate Early and Often

One of the biggest potential drawbacks of a remote team is a lack of communication. Everyone on the team is likely far away from one another and thus communication can suffer. This is something you need to be sure to address as soon as you begin building your team. You need to communicate early and often with your remote team, and encourage them to do the same.

This includes keeping remote teams in the loop, checking in with them often and asking questions. The more involved a remote team can feel, the more connected to your company they will be. Also, bringing people on-board who are good at communicating is also important. Not everyone is a great communicator, so aim to get people who use the right communication tactics and have a good attitude.

Be Sure to Measure Productivity

While most remote workers work hard and can help businesses succeed, this isn’t always the case. Because there is often no one directly holding them responsible, some remote workers can tend to slack off and not get things done when they should. To ensure your remote team is actually doing what is expected of them, be sure to measure productivity in some way.

Instead of simply measuring how many hours they work, you should perform some kind of result-oriented measurements. This could be how many leads they have generated, how many clients they have assisted, how often they identify and fix bugs, and so many more. These will give you an inside look at how much your remote team is actually getting done.

Watch How You Schedule and Set Deadlines

Image credit: Pixbay
When you set the schedule and deadlines for your physical office, it is normal to do everything the same. But if you have different people on your remote team that are from all over the world, this can make things a bit more difficult. You need to be sure to set schedules and deadlines based on where your remote workers are from.

For example, time needs to be taken to ensure that meetings are set at a time that can accommodate the person working in the Philippines and not just those in the USA. No one should feel left out or forgotten. Remote workers will certainly appreciate the effort of taking time zones into account when it comes to things like this.

In conclusion, using the tips within this article should help you to build up a solid remote team.

Is having sex regularly essential in a romantic relationship?

You won’t find a definite answer for it anywhere because every person is different. Some couples may have more sexual urges, while some may want to take it slow.

Marriage counselors and even sexologists believe that having regular sex can improve bonding in a relationship. Of course, if you don’t have time to do it every day, you can at least do it on alternate days. But having a consistent physical relationship can steer the ship forward without any significant challenges.

A New Member Can Make You A Complete Family

No one is saying that couples always need to have babies right after they get married. But for some, it takes time to hit the bull’s eye. Having regular sex will mean sending a bigger army that can breach the wall and create a beautiful life inside. Those who don’t get the kick to do it every night can resort to having Spanish Fly Pro.

This non-prescription dietary supplement can enhance your sexual arousal. So, if you think you are not in the mood, slip a few drops into a glass of wine. Drink it and see how you perform. Once couples have a baby, they tend to care for the new life together. This increases the bonding, thus leading to a long-lasting relationship.

Feel More Secure

Men and women both suffer from insecurities. What if their partner likes someone else? You can flush those thoughts down the toilet if you have sex regularly. Intimacy between couples can make them feel secure. You won’t be anxious about your partner, leaving you suddenly because he/she is sexually satisfied somewhere else. Again, you can use Spanish Fly Pro to spice things up. It works both for men and women. So, don’t hold your horses back. A few drops in each glass will not only make the sex long-lasting but also your relationship.

A Sign Of Love

Many people may argue that sex is not the ultimate goal of a relationship. Honestly, it isn’t. But there is no harm in showing that you love your partner. Most importantly, if both of you enjoy the intimacy, then why not make it a practice to do it regularly. You don’t have to do it for hours every night. Sometimes even a quickie can make your partner feel loved.

Keeps Both Of You Healthy

If you want a long-lasting relationship, you should stay healthy. You cannot have sex when you are ill and bedridden. However, sex can keep various health issues away. If you make a habit of having a few drops of Spanish Fly Pro every day, it will automatically increase your sex drive.

And having regular sex improves your heart health, boosts your immune function, enhances your cognitive functions, and keeps you happy from within. If your partner is too shy to have sex regularly, just tease him/her partner every night before going to bed. That will be enough to get him/her in the mood.

Why Reading Is the Best Past-Time For Everyone

2019-12-19T16:31:00.001-08:00

From movies on the big screen to the internet and social media, we live in an age where digital technology is impacting every aspect of our lives. Despite this, reading remains one of the most popular pastimes, a hobby that really never gets old.

Think of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter, my personal favorite James Patterson's Alex Cross series, and George Orwell’s 1984 and you will understand why there are so many reasons that make reading the best thing you can do during your free time.

There are many advantages to reading and a lot of reasons why you should even consider turning it into a regular hobby of yours.

Here are 7 reasons why we think that reading is the best pastime for everyone, and why it’s so good for the soul.

1. It Relieves Stress

Reading can be one of the best stress relievers. After a long hectic day, you can easily grab your favorite book from the shelf and start getting lost into another world while drinking your cup of coffee or hot cocoa. One of the best things about reading is that it takes you to a completely different world; it’s like a time machine that transports you through place and time and makes you come up with a visual image for the story, it’s settings and the characters.

2. It Improves Your Knowledge

Readers are frequently more aware of how things work and have good knowledge of diverse topics. Whether it is art, history, iconic figures, or sports, you can learn a lot by reading about your favorite topic as it uncovers new insights and always teaches you something new— whether a morale or simply a piece of information that you didn’t know before. Reading also makes you become a good conversationalist since you will always have some basic information about a wide variety of topics.

3. It Doesn’t Cost You a Lot of Money

Reading doesn’t need to cost a fortune as buying books aren’t expensive at all. If you are looking for easily accessible reads online, you can visit Allied Publishing Books & Training Manuals where you will find plenty of options. It’s also a good place if you are looking for online books as well as self-help reads and resources at convenient prices. You can also borrow books from your family or friends, or from a library at affordable prices. A smart way to save your money is by buying paperbacks instead of hardcovers.

4. It Can Help you Get over Unhealthy Habits

Whether it’s due to stress or boredom, we all have unhealthy habits that we wish to quit such as smoking, drinking, over-eating, etc. Reading can surely become a good way to help you get over unhealthy habits. Every time you are about to spend too much time watching TV or over-eat junk food, you can grab your favorite book and sit by the window and get lost in another world of fantasy, mystery, or many other things. This way, you will be able to replace your negative habits by a positive routine, which will eventually benefit you in the long-run.

Reading does really improve your writing skills. If you look at the famous writers, politicians, and singers, you will definitely see how reading influenced their minds, and thereby their words. Reading can help you widen your vocabulary, learn your genre better, and makes you understand the language better. It’s simple: It is difficult for you to write something really good if you’ve never experienced reading anything as good before.

6. It Can Be Done From Any Place

You can take your book and read it in almost any place. Grab this companion of yours wherever you would like, except while driving or riding a bike of course. Pick your favorite novel and read it from the park, on the train to work, on your living room’s couch, or from that coffee shop around the corner.

7. It Improves Your Memory And Concentration

Reading improves your memory and concentration as it can keep your mind strong, sharp, and healthy. When you are reading a novel, your mind gets immersed with all the characters, moments, and the details. Reading makes you concentrate for a longer time as you flip the pages and keep up with the storylines.

There are many reasons why you should start reading today; the advantages are countless. There are also several literary genres to choose from, which are easily accessible at convenient prices. So really, there’s no reason why you should hesitate again before you pick up that book that has been waiting on your shelf for a very long time.

How To Deal With Erratic Autism Behaviors

2019-12-08T14:22:00.001-08:00

Your child might lick their fingers in public, or remove their clothing. At home, they might be overly fussy about what they eat, or they might wet the bed. At school, they might be aggressive towards other children or prone to meltdowns in the classroom. With autism, it is not uncommon to find these kinds of erratic behaviors, and while a traditional response (traditional in the sense that it was the dominant way of dealing with children in the past) would be to scold the child, reprimanding them in the hopes that they’ll curb such behaviors, new research shows that in fact the opposite approach should be applied.

Autism – Positivity Over Negativity

Dealing with your child’s challenging behaviors from a positive reinforcement standpoint, rather than a negative reinforcement standpoint, is going to be a lot more effective. One has to understand why a child with autism might behave in these ways: they might be struggling to understand their surroundings or be in a state of pain or discomfort that they are having difficulty communicating. To scold the child may only serve to further confuse them, or deter them from trying to communicate in the future. If your child is behaving in challenging ways, look for a counseling center that offers ABA (Applied Behavior Analysis) – at Behavior Track, Integrate Health offers a wonderful ABA program that’s worth looking into.

Essentially, what ABA does is increase useful behaviors and reduce challenging behaviors through positive reinforcement, and the way its practitioners go about doing that is to assess the child’s behaviors and develop an individualized support plan that addresses the child’s needs and behaviors.

It has been shown to be very effective not only in reducing challenging behaviors like tantrums and non-compliance but also in promoting useful skills. ABA can focus on helping a child with autism communicate their feelings better or adapting better to social situations. It can even help them in their academic skills.

A behavior analyst will work with you and your child to determine specific, personalized goals according to data they collect on specific behavioral concerns. They will implement strategies that are able to extend beyond just the assessment room, strategies that are meant to work in messy, real-life scenarios.

Training a close eye to how environmental factors, such as family or school dynamics, might contribute to challenging behaviors, the behavior analyst will help target the sources and advise on effective, positive reinforcement methods for reducing those behaviors.

It’s never too late to start an ABA program. For children of all ages (and even adults), this kind of program can really work wonders. With a reduction in challenging behaviors, an increase in useful behaviors, and a system of rewards that can help boost self-confidence and self-worth, ABA really can improve the overall well-being of a child with autism.

In the past, parents might have dealt with erratic behaviors with a stern and dismissive word (or worse), but these days there is ample research to support that reinforcing a child positively – with autism or without – is the way to go.
