1. Surgeons
Surgeons are undoubtedly the highest paid medical professionals in the country. They may earn anywhere between 200,000 to half a million or even more, per annum. The exact salary of a surgeon is determined by his specialty. Neurosurgeons and cardiac surgeons are amongst the highest paid surgeons. Surgeons must complete strict educational qualifications which include a college degree, a degree in medicine and a master’s degree.

2. General Physicians
General physicians also draw a handsome salary of 100,000 to 240,000 per annum. The average median salary of general physicians is 170,000. Physicians are required to complete a college degree and a degree in medicine along with an internship. Income of a physician is determined by the setting in which he works. Physicians practicing on their own, or attached to a large hospitals, have higher earning potential.

3. Dentists
Dentistry is another branch of medicine that earns a handsome remuneration. Dentists usually practice on their own, in their private clinics, or assist a senior dentist.

These were some of the top paying medical jobs with high remuneration. Apart from the ones listed above, there are several other jobs in this field which promise decent pay and great career prospects.

Frequent urination

Many men experience an increase in the frequency at which they have to urinate as they get older. This is exceedingly common among older men. However, if you are a man that is “always having to go”, don’t just dismiss it as aging. There are many causes of frequent urination and the symptom needs to be checked out by a physician.

1. Frequent Urination Cause: Urinary Tract Infection
Frequent urination in men is a common symptom of the urinary tract infections (UTI), which occurs due to bacterial invasion of the urinary tract. The bacteria like Escherichia coli cause tissue damage and can spread up to the urethra, bladder, and sometimes kidneys also. Stress, weak immune system, poor diet, sexual intercourse with the infected person, etc. are some factors that lead to urinary tract infections in men.

2. Frequent Urination Cause: Diabetes
Frequent urination is an early sign of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Due to increased buildup of glucose in the blood the body tries to get rid of it through urine which sometimes also results in dehydration in men.

3. Frequent Urination Cause: Prostate Problems
One of the most common cause for frequent urination in men is enlarged prostate or benign prostatic hyperplasia. The enlarged prostate presses against the urethra (the tube that carries urine out the body) and obstructs the flow of urine.This causes the bladder wall to become irritable which leads to bladder contraction even when it contains minimal amounts of blood, resulting in more frequent urination.

4. Frequent Urination Cause: Interstitial Cystitis
Interstitial cystitis (IC) is a painful condition that occurs due to inflammation of the tissues of the bladder wall. Characterized by pain or discomfort in the bladder and pelvic region, the condition often includes symptoms like urgent or frequent need to urinate. More on interstitial cystitis: symptoms and treatment.

5. Frequent Urination Cause: Diuretic Use
The medications used to cure high blood pressure or fluid buildup work in the kidney to flush out excess fluids from the body, can also contribute to frequent urination in men.

6. Frequent Urination Cause: Neurological Disorders
Stroke or other neurological diseases that can damage the nerves that supply the bladder can cause problems with bladder function, including frequent, painful and sudden urges to urinate.

7. Other Frequent Urination Causes
Bladder cancer, bladder dysfunction, overactive bladder, congenital heart failure, drinking alcohol and other caffeinated beverages are some other probable causes for frequent urination in men.

Researchers discovered that a few extra hours spent in a horizontal position in the weekend (when people “have a sleep” for all lacks of sleep of the working week), beneficially affect the brain, reinforcing its strength and efficiency.

In this regard, the journalists decided to publish several other methods of positive effects on the brain, which are not too well known to the public. Here they are:

1. Running
Scientists from Cambridge University have found that two joggings per week are able to stimulate the brain. It turned out that after several days of racing hundreds of thousands of new cells are formed in the human brain. Such increase was recorded in those areas that are responsible for forming and processing of memories.

2. Afternoon nap
Science has long suspected that sleep has a beneficial effect on the brain. Afternoon sleep has a regenerating effect, allowing the brain to remove the extra memory as to make space for new information.

3. Foods rich in magnesium
For example, spinach and broccoli. They improve memory and brain power, according to research published in the Neuron magazine.

4. Sunbathing
Scientists have found that sunlight has beneficial effects on intelligence and may prevent the development of dementia.

5. Mowing the lawn
The researchers found that while mowing the lawn the human brain releases a particular substance, which not only reduces the manifestations of stress and makes us happy, but is also capable to prevent the decrease of mental activity in old age.

6. Sex and chocolate
According to Scandinavian scientists, a lot of dark chocolate and a lot of sex greatly increase the strength of the brain. 7. Music lessons for children. In childhood, when the brain is developing more actively, music lessons improve memory.

8. Conversations with your child
Experts note that moms talking with their children help their kids better develop their brains.

9. Tetris
Scientists have repeatedly proved this game, created by Russian programmers, beneficial effects on the brain.

It is capable to get you down for a long time.

To get rid of colds, try using simple rules to strengthen your immunity.

1. Proper sleep
Regular sleep helps you become more healthy and strong. If you neglect sleep, you are impoverishing the immune system. Studies show that those who refuse to sleep 7-8 hours a day expose themselves to serious risk.

2. Vitamins
Try to consume vitamin D regularly. It is better to get all the necessary vitamins from natural products.

3. Do not cross your legs
Oddly enough, but this is one of the risk factors for common cold. The habit of crossing your legs causes narrowing of blood vessels. This fact weakens your immune system and your body becomes prone to colds.

4. Exercise
A good workout will bring you many benefits. It does not matter whether it’s aerobics, walking or bicycling – the main thing is you should enjoy it. Cleanliness is the first and foremost. Careful hand washing reduces the chance of getting colds. As soon as you enter the house, wash your hands with antibacterial soap.

5. Eat mushrooms
Researchers believe that substances contained in mushrooms can strengthen your immune system.

What can you add to these rules?

2. Avoid caffeine, alcohol and tobacco.
Caffeinated drinks and food such as coffee, tea, sodas and chocolate will keep the mind stimulated much longer than some people think.
And while alcohol may feel like it’s putting you to sleep, its sedating effect won’t last the whole night. Alcohol is a depressant; although it may make it easier to fall asleep, it causes you to wake up during the night. As alcohol is digested your body goes into withdrawal from the alcohol, causing nighttime awakenings and often nightmares. Excessive alcohol use can lead to dependence, and the withdrawal from alcohol dependence can also affect your sleep.

Nicotine is also a stimulant and should be avoided near bedtime and if you wake up during the night. Thus, having a smoke before bed, although it feels relaxing, is actually putting a stimulant into your bloodstream. And by the way, maybe you should think about quiting smoking for good.

3. Exercise regularly.
Working at the office might make you sweat mentally, but it’s not giving your body enough work. People who work physically strenuous jobs experience fewer problems with insomnia than those with office jobs because their bodies feel exhaustion too.

Get plenty of vigorous exercise early in the day so you’ll be naturally tired come bedtime. Try working out for as little as 20 minutes and your body will feel stimulated. Exercise will also help you get more oxygen to relax more. Remember not to exercise at least a couple of hours before bed so that you have time to wind down afterward.

4. Have a bedtime schedule.
Your life may not be routine, but your body likes it that way. Try to fall asleep and wake at the same time each day-yes, even on the weekends. Figure out how many hours your body needs to feel rested and schedule your sleep that way, even on nights you don’t feel tired-it’s good practice and your body will appreciate it. Once your body gets used to a routine, it will naturally want to fall asleep at the designated time.

Keep your biological clock going in the right direction, otherwise you will be fighting against it.

5. Keep bed a place for sleep.
The bed should be for only one thing: sleep … well, two things–but only for sleep and sex. Many people tend to read, work, watch television, some even eat in their beds, but your mind should never associate it with anything else. Let your mind and body identify that comfy spot with sleep.

Also, don’t watch TV or even so much as look at a computer screen at least 30 minutes before you lie down. The light from both a television as well as a computer monitor mimic the same intensity of light as sunlight. This fools your body and brain into thinking it’s nowhere near time for sleep. Also the best way to fall asleep is to clear your mind of all thoughts-the last thing you want is to lie in bed awake and thinking. If that happens, get up and do something non-stimulating, then try falling asleep again.

6. Warm milk or herbal tea.
Looks like Mom had it right when you were a kid. Milk contains calcium to help you relax, while the warmth is also soothing. Milk also has an amino acid in it called Tryptophan that increase the levels of serotonin and/or melatonin in the brain which slow down brain activity. It’s science folks.

But dairy products aren’t always right for everyone-in that case, have a cup of tea. There are many herbal types that are made specifically for sleep aide, but chamomile, anise, fennel and lavender are known for their soothing and relaxing qualities.

7. Relaxation: massage, warm bath, meditation.
There are plenty of ways to relax, yet not enough people do it. You can simply take a bath in warm water containing a cup of bath salts, as long as the water isn’t too hot. A nice massage after work or even a quick back rub from your spouse can do the job. Relieving tension and stress will help you clear your mind before bed so you can concentrate on sleep and nothing else. Play soothing music-even ambient noise will drown out street noise-while aromatherapy also has relaxation qualities, so you may put a drop or two of soothing essential oil of lavender or Roman chamomile on your pillow.

Meditate. No, don’t cross your legs and hum, but focus on relaxing…if that makes sense. Take deep, long breaths. Tense each muscle one at a time from head to toe. Focusing on doing this takes your mind off of other things and you’ll be in lala land in no time. Certainly there are other benefits as well. The Transcendental Meditation technique has been shown to produce deep rest, reduced anxiety, and very effective relief from insomnia.

8. Have a “going to bed” ritual.
Do you have to think about washing your hair? How about showering?
If you’re like most people, these are periods of lost time where you’re doing something but you don’t actually have to think about doing it. They’re so automatic that you can daydream about anything else and come back down to earth when the task is complete. If we can establish such a state before sleep by establishing a repeated pattern, then we’ll set ourselves up for a perfectly relaxed state.

A typical pattern may be:
1) Read for some time
2) Brush teeth
3) Turn on fan/open window (even in winter)
4) Set alarm

After following such a pattern for long enough, you’ll not only induce the relaxed state, but you’ll condition yourself to make the whole process more effective. Like Pavlov’s dogs, once that fan gets turned on (for example) our pre-programmed physiological relax-sleep response will kick in.

9. Don’t nap during the day.
I know it may sound contradictory as I already wrote about the benefits of napping, but practically speaking if you sleep too long during the day, then this will disrupt night time sleep, so it’s important to find the right balance. But if you can’t find that balance you better stop napping during the day.

10. Don’t eat before sleep.
A light snack may be sleep inducing, but a heavy meal too close to bedtime interferes with sleep. Digestion takes lots of energy and will keep you awake. Also spicy or fatty foods may cause heartburn, which leads to difficulty in falling asleep and discomfort throughout the night. Foods containing tyramine (bacon, cheese, ham, aubergines, pepperoni, raspberries avocado, nuts, soy sauce, red wine) might keep you awake at night. Tyramine causes the release of norepinephrine, a brain stimulant.

But if you do get hungry close to bedtime, try eating something that triggers the hormone serotonin, which makes you sleepy. Carbohydrates such as bread or cereal will do the trick.

11. Medication.
Insomnia stems from a number of reasons, and while it is usually due to stress or anxiety, it can be associated with physical disorders. If you find simple methods aren’t helping you fall asleep, it’s time to see a doctor.

Though doctors will probably suggest sleep tips first, they can also prescribe drugs to assist you in sleeping. Always remember that medicines have potential side effects, and though they can help some people beat insomnia, they may not always work.

These are the majority of the things I have either tried or actually do routinely. And remember that by improving your sleep you will have a dramatic impact on your body composition, performance and health. So good luck, and Sleep Well!

Put these ten most healthy foods on your grocery list today — but do keep in mind that it takes more than 10 foods (even 10 terrific foods!) to make a healthy diet. Experts are quick to point out that variety is the spice of life. And ideally, these nutritious nibbles should replace other less healthful foods, for example when eating out, helping you to cut calories while boosting the nutrition in your diet.

1. Berries
Reach for berries for a powerful dose of health-protecting antioxidants. According to a U.S. Department of Agriculture study, blueberries top the list of antioxidant-rich fruits, followed by cranberries, blackberries, raspberries, and strawberries. The color of berries comes from the pigment anthocyanin, an antioxidant that helps neutralize “free radicals” (cell-damaging molecules) that can help lead to chronic diseases, including cancer and heart disease. Berries, particularly cranberries, may also help ward off urinary tract infections.

2. Dark, Leafy Greens
Dark, leafy greens — everything from spinach, kale, and bok choy to dark lettuces — are loaded with vitamins, minerals, beta-carotene, vitamin C, folate, iron, magnesium, carotenoids, phytochemicals, and
antioxidants. A Harvard study found that eating magnesium-rich foods such as spinach can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

3. Whole Grains
Grandma urged us to start the day with a bowl of oatmeal for a healthy breakfast, but did she have any idea that the soluble fiber from oats helps to lower blood cholesterol levels? Whole grains include the nutritional components that are typically stripped away from refined grains. They contain folic acid, selenium, and B vitamins, and are important to heart health, weight control, and reducing the risk of diabetes.

Their fiber content helps keeps you feeling full between meals as well and promotes digestive health. Whole grains, such as oatmeal, whole-grain breads, and brown rice can reduce the risk for heart disease. Every organ in the body is dependent on blood flow.

If you promote cardiovascular health, you’re promoting good flow to the organ system. Enjoy at least three servings a day of whole-grain goodness: whole wheat; barley; rye; millet; quinoa; brown rice; wild rice; and whole-grain pasta, breads, and cereals. The daily recommendation for fiber is 21-38 grams, depending on your sex and age, according to the American Dietetic Association.

4. Fatty Fish
The fat found in fish like salmon and tuna is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which can help protect your heart. The power of omega-3s appears to be their ability to lower blood fats and prevent blood clots associated with heart disease.

Another benefit of deep-water fish, such as salmon, is that the omega-3 essential fatty acids are essential for brain function. Other oily fish that provide the benefits of omega-3s are sardines and
herring. The American Heart Association recommends eating at least two servings of fish (especially fatty fish) at least twice a week.

5. Dairy
Dairy foods are included in the ten most healthy foods and are not only the best food source of dietary calcium, but also have plenty of protein, vitamins (including vitamin D), and minerals. The U.S. government’s 2005 Dietary Guidelines recommend having three daily servings of low-fat dairy products, as well as doing weight-bearing exercise, to help keep bones strong and prevent osteoporosis.

(If you can’t tolerate dairy, other calcium-containing foods include legumes; dark green leafy vegetables such as kale, broccoli, and collards; and calcium-fortified soy products, juices, and grains.) Beyond strong bones, dairy may also help you lose weight. Research is ongoing, but a few studies have shown that three daily servings of dairy — as part of a calorie-controlled diet — may help decrease belly fat and enhance weight loss.

Low-fat dairy foods make excellent snacks because they contain both carbohydrates and protein. “Dairy foods are perfect snacks for diabetics and everyone else because [they help] maintain blood sugar levels,” says Bonnie Taub-Dix, MA, RD, a spokeswoman for the American Dietetic Association.

6. Beans and Legumes make the list of ten most healthy foods
These nutritious nuggets are packed with phytochemicals; fat-free, high-quality protein; folic acid; fiber; iron; magnesium; and small amounts of calcium. Beans are an excellent and inexpensive protein source and a great alternative for low-calorie vegetarian meals. They also stabilize glucose (blood sugar) levels. The brain is dependent on glucose for fuel, and since it can’t store the glucose, it relies on a steady stream of energy — which beans can provide.

Eating beans and legumes regularly as part of a healthy eating plan can help reduce the risk of certain cancers; lower blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels; and stabilize blood sugar. Beans also play an
important role in weight management by filling you up with lots of bulk and few calories.

7. Nuts
Nuts are full of fats. But they’re the healthy, mono- and polyunsaturated kind, which can help lower cholesterol levels and help prevent heart disease. In addition, nuts are a good source of protein, fiber, selenium, vitamin E, and vitamin A.

Higher levels of vitamin E correspond with less cognitive decline as you get older. Small portions of nuts can boost energy and beat hunger, helping dieters stay on track and they are good for eating healthy on the run. Still, nuts pack plenty of calories — and it’s easy to overeat these tasty treats. So enjoy nuts, but be mindful of your portion size. Try to limit yourself to an ounce a day. That’s about 28 peanuts, 14 walnut halves, or just 7 Brazil nuts.

8. Sweet Potatoes
One of the easiest ways to make a healthful dietary change is to think “sweet” instead of “white” potatoes. These luscious orange tubers are one of the healthiest vegetables, boasting a wealth of antioxidants; phytochemicals including beta-carotene; vitamins C and E; folate; calcium; copper; iron; and potassium.

The fiber in sweet potatoes promotes a healthy digestive tract, and the antioxidants play a role in preventing heart disease and cancer. Its natural sweetness means a roasted sweet potato is delicious without any additional fats or flavor enhancers. Substitute sweet potatoes in recipes calling for white potatoes or apples to boost the nutrients.

9. Tomatoes
These red-hot fruits of summer are bursting with flavor and pack a nutritional wallop with ingredients such as lycopene, an antioxidant that may help may protect against certain cancers. They also deliver an abundance of vitamins A and C, potassium, and phytochemicals.

10. Eggs
Their cholesterol content once led to bad press for the mighty egg, but research has redeemed it. It turns out that saturated fat (eggs have little) plays a bigger role than the cholesterol in food in elevating our blood cholesterol. Eggs are packed with economical, high-quality protein, and are an excellent source of the carotenoids lutein, choline, and xeanthin.

In fact, eggs are one of the best sources of dietary choline, an
essential nutrient — especially for pregnant women. Eggs have been shown to supply nutrients that promote eye health and help prevent age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness in older people.

The American Heart Association has given eggs the thumbs-up for healthy people. As long as you limit your average daily cholesterol intake to 300 mg, you can enjoy an egg a day. The Big Picture – Eat more than these ten most healthy foods!

For top disease-fighting power, eat all of these ten most healthy foods together with other healthful foods, including green tea, chocolate, olive oil, and soy. Fruits and vegetables in general are powerhouses of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. By eating nine or more servings a day, you help protect your body from heart disease, cancer, and other diseases.

Here is a list of 7 simple ways to stay healthy and add years to your life.

Source: http://health.ezinemark.com

1. Breathe Fresh Air.
Of course, this includes being a nonsmoker, but it is also important to get lots of fresh air outdoors. Many people spend their entire lives indoors, going from home to the car to the office, and back again. Getting fresh air outdoors is an important health benefit that is often overlooked. Try to spend at least a few minutes outdoors every day: take a walk or plan outdoor activities. Drink More Water. If you say you don’t like drinking plain water, then chances are you spend much of your life in a state of dehydration, and that is unhealthy.

2. Drink More.
Try to drink between 6-8 glasses of water every day, besides coffee, tea, and soft drinks. Chances are that adding more water to your daily regimen will help you feel better and have more energy.

3. Sleep Between 6-7 hours Every Night.
Getting a good night’s sleep is essential to good health, but it is also important to get the right amount of sleep. Researchers have found that those who sleep more than
8 hours or less than 4 hours a night are not as healthy as those who sleep 6-7 hours a night.

4. Eat Fruits and Vegetables.
It is common in American society to eat an entire day’s worth of meals and consume very little fruits and vegetables. This bad habit has an adverse effect on your health. Meals eaten at home contain more fruits and vegetables than those consumed in restaurants. So try eating more meals at home, and when on the go try to take some fruit with you.

3. Restrict Alcohol Consumption.
If you drink alcohol, restrict it to one drink per day. Drinking more than 2 drinks daily has been shown to have an adverse effect on health. Some studies have shown that drinking red wine is beneficial, but you still should keep it to no more than one drink per day.

2. Eat High Fiber Foods Daily.
Diets that are high in fiber have been shown to help reduce high blood pressure, avoid high blood sugar, and help with elimination. High fiber foods include whole grain breads and
pasta, fruits, beans and legumes.

1. Exercise Daily.
Researchers are finding that exercise plays a huge part in overall health. Those who exercise regularly have been found to be much more likely to lead healthier lives and live longer than those who do not exercise.

These are simple life changes you can start to work on now to make big changes in health as you get older. You don’t have to change everything at once. Try working on one item at a time and then once
you have made it a habit, go on to another item. These simple life choices can pay big dividends over the years and add happy and healthy years to your life.

We’re restricting ourselves to chains that have branches in the New York area, so “good” chains like Whataburger and In-N-Out are off limits, and so are foreign chains that peddle sublime exotica — like those Korean chicken places.

Source: http://blogs.villagevoice.com

To make this list, we polled our friends; we rode maybe 100 miles on our bikes and on subways and buses; we spent two weeks tasting and grimacing — all for the purpose of ferreting out the best-tasting fast-food options, leaving the fat and calorie analysis to you. And whether we admit it or not, there comes a time when each of us must gird our loins and walk through the doors of a Wendy’s, White Castle, or KFC.

10. Hamburger at White Castle
This item deserves some respect if only because it was the first fast-food burger in the world, and it was immortalized in a Devo song (“You can buy ‘em by the sack.”) While some find the flavor repulsive, there is something intriguing about it — as if kissed with fermented fish sauce in a Southeast Asian café deep in the jungle.

9. Ranchero Soft Taco at Taco Bell
Taco Bell is surely the most repulsive of the chains: It took some doing to turn one of the world’s fieriest and most flavorful cuisines into mushy blandness. But the taco called the Ranchero has balls — plenty of cilantro, spicy chicken tidbits reminiscent of Pueblan tinga, and plenty of greenery to make you feel good about yourself.

8. Chicken Biscuit at Popeyes
Yes, we were tipped to the wonderfulness of Popeyes’ onion rings — except you can’t get them here, and you can’t get crawfish étouffée, either, at least not right now. So we’re left with the sublime Popeyes biscuit, as light and fluffy as it has any right to be. Put a spicy chicken strip on it and eat two, and you have a fine meal.

7. French Fries at McDonald’s
Many things suck at McDonald’s, but the french fries have remained the standard by which all other chains’ are judged. They’re slender, nicely browned (well, usually), made from
good potatoes, have just the right amount of salt (well, usually), and are not coated with any dodgy starches (though vegetarians should note that “natural beef flavor” is in their somewhere). Amen.

6. Tuna hero at Subway
Aside from being considerably bigger, the Subway tuna isn’t all that different from a tuna salad sandwich you might make at home: pleasantly skanky canned tuna flavored with mercury, more mayo than you should probably eat at one sitting, and your choice of accoutrements, which, in our case, includes raw onions, black olives, pickled hot peppers, and lettuce. Semi-Yum!

5. Wendy’s Chili
Yes, it’s got beans in it, but more meat than beans, so it almost qualifies as authentic Texas chili. What’s more, it tastes like Texas chili, too, laced with cumin and not encompassing much tomato-based material. The crackers constitute the perfect complement, and, at $1.59, the price is right.

4. French Fries at Five Guys
This Washingon, D.C.-based chain has been wildly expanding lately, constituting something of a rip-off of California’s In-N-Out Burger. While the burgers are often dry as the
desert wind, the fries — made from fresh Idaho potatoes, bags of which are stacked around the premises in emulation of Pittsburgh’s the O — are wonderful, thick as a finger, brown-crusted, and moist.

3. Whopper at Burger King
Like a dumb kid who gets into an Ivy League school, the Whopper started life with many preferments. It was inspired, for example, by the California “garden burger,” an invention from the ’50s that added fresh veggies and mayonnaise to the hamburger. Another was its very circumference — larger than all its competitors. Its quintessential advantage, though, is the smoky flavor introduced by the cooking method, known by the coined term “flame grilling.”

2. McRib at McDonald’s
I hate the rancid-tasting beef at this world-strangling mega-chain as much as anyone, but there’s something fresh-tasting about the McRib. If you can ignore the dumb shape, it’s really just a pork burger made from meat that has probably been frozen less than a year. In fact, it tastes like it was never frozen at all. Or maybe pork puts up with freezing better than beef.

1. Baked spuds at Wendy’s
This favorite lunch of office workers and vegetarians is mainly gone from the official menu (which lists only the “chive and sour cream potato”), but have faith that the “bacon and cheese” and “broccoli and cheese” still exist. And they’re both damn good.

Maybe you can try to give 5 healthy drinks for children. The following list is the perfect beverage as a substitute for milk and mineral water. It also has properties for the body.

Source: http://www.healthyeatingkids.info

1. Orange juice.
This drink is very useful as a protection from heart disease. Why? Content of antioxidants in orange juice will help protect the heart, by fighting inflammation which can eventually cause
damage to blood vessels.

2. Chamomile tea.
This tea will make children become calmer and not get nervous easily. There was a study conducted the University of Pennsylvania, that people who drink chamomile tea every day for 2 months, will feel less anxious. Turn on the mellow us to drink a cup of chamomile tea before bed each.

3. Cranberry juice.
This juice is very beneficial to prevent gum disease and urinary tract infections. Naturally occurring compounds that exist in the juice will prevent bacteria to stick to the teeth under the gum line. 227 grams of cranberry also will provide 39% of our daily requirement of vitamin C, increase good cholesterol, and maintain urinary tract health.

4. Milk chocolate.
One glass of fat free chocolate milk can give your intake of carbohydrates and protein, which can help us restore the body after exercise ended.

5. Green tea.
This tea is very beneficial to keep the weight remains stable. The content of polyphenols in green tea will launch the body’s metabolic system, and make your body burn fat more easily. Plus, tea is also rich in antioxidants that are good in preventing cancer and heart disease.

That is 5 kinds of healthy drinks for children. You can give it as a distraction or a replacement drink formula.

The titles themselves give you enough to think about.

1. Think daily. Meditate.
Call it what you will but spend time each day alone with your thoughts. This surely isn’t the first time you’ve heard that advice, there’s a reason for that! There’s also a reason that this is the first step in the list. Doing the other things in the remaining nine suggestions without taking some time to reflect almost negates any benefit gained elsewhere.

2. Get in the zone.
Not only will these be your most productive moments in life (the 20% of the time where you accomplish 80% of the results) but it will be a boost to your confidence that will alter the decisions you make elsewhere in life.

3. Make it a point to do something bold every day.
Step out of your comfort zone, leave the routine even if for only a second. This might mean talking to someone that you generally wouldn’t talk to or starting a project that you feel intimidated by. There is no need to plan it in advance–though that might help at times, usually though you’ll find a point during the day when ‘two paths diverge in the woods’ and you have the change to take the one less travelled by. Take it.

4. Learn something new.
Pick a topic, preferably something you know nothing about and learn something about it. A good source of inspiration for this can be the newspaper or Wikipedia. It helps to retain it if you have time to make a note of what you learned or explain it to someone else, but even if you don’t get the chance to do that, your brain will thank you for the new patterns you introduce as you learn something new every day.

5. Debate something.
If you think you know about something, nothing will prove it like arguing it with someone who’s smarter or more informed than you. Find a friend you can debate with who has ideas that are different from your and who won’t be offended by debating them–this is easier said than done, but it can provide you with some of the best mental stimulation possible.

6. Spend time with a child.
If you have one, consider yourself lucky, if you don’t, I bet you have friends who would be happy to let you borrow theirs for a few minutes (or hours). It doesn’t matter what age they are, children see the world entirely different. Look at it from their eyes. Be their hero. Appreciate what they appreciate. Enjoy the simple things again. You’ll love it and they’ll love you for it.

7. Go outside.
If you don’t naturally spend time outside, make it a point to do it more. There’s something about the expanse of the sky that will bring out your inner philosopher.

8. Recognize what makes you happy.
Reflect on the parts of your day that bring you real satisfaction. Everyone is working towards something, but what makes you happy now? Rate your overall satisfaction with your quality of life for each day on a scale of 1 to 10, focus on the things that happened that pushed the number higher rather than what made it lower. Try to incorporate more of what made you happy yesterday into today.

9. Stop broken thoughts.
Broken thoughts are those subtle patterns that aren’t quite big enough to fall into the bad habits category. This means that despite their harmful effect they often escape under the radar. Broken thoughts often take the form of justifications. Examples? I’m just going to leave my dish here by the sink, I’ll wash it later (when you know your spouse will end up washing it). I’m bookmarking this article to read later (how often do you ever go back and read old bookmarked articles?). I’ll hang my shirt up later (when you know it will be there for a week before you touch it).

10. Don’t stress about it.
