Dilemma According to the American Heart Association, 65 % of Americans are classified as overweight or obese; with African American numbers being even higher. Obesity leads to conditions such as heart disease, stroke, hypertension, and diabetes. All of these conditions lead to a less than optimal lifestyle and, for many, premature death. The unfortunate thing is that they are PREVENTABLE. That's right; these medical conditions that are plaguing our community can be stopped. How? A reasonable diet and exercise. I know, we've all heard that before, but somehow most people still battle with being unhealthy and significantly out of shape. Over the past thirteen years of training in the[..]

Exercising is one of the most important activities, you should not forget to include in your daily life. It may appear that you still need to get a dose of motivation, to get yourself going and ready for straightforward stretching exercises. This is actually a major problem for the general public. There are still those who take being physically fit onto another level. Yes, folks like these essentially exist in real life and No, they do not only appear in films. These are people who go through sophisticated measures of exercise, which require intense coaching, consistent practice, and never ending diligence. These are basically exercises that are less well-liked to the public eye and are[..]

There are a lot of ideas about what first dates should be. One thing we can clear up pretty quick is what it should not be. It should not be boring. Boring dates, along with being rude, lacking manners, and a lack of focus on your date (as in flirting with other people) will also destroy your second date chances. Having made a good enough impression to get the first date it is now up to you to show that it was the right decision. The opposite of a boring date is one that is fun. To make your first dates count you should do something that allows enough free time to talk and get to know each other. There should also be enough blood rushing, adrenaline pumping activity for you to not[..]

Summer is just around the corner and the sun will stay up longer. Many of us would want to enjoy the warmth of the sun, going for a picnic, barbeque in the park or just lying on deck chairs by the pool. Children too like to go out cycling, roller skating, skate boarding or just running in the open to enjoy the sunshine. But hot weather can also be dangerous. Children may not be aware that the heat of the sun can also knock them out. Playing under the scorching heat of the sun can drain off the fluid in your body very quickly through perspiration. With the loss of fluid, the cooling system of the body becomes inefficient. Children especially may suffer from heat exhaustion or heat cramps[..]

It may be a problem because they never have anything to contribute when asked. It also may be that they don't feel comfortable giving their opinion.

Bangkok always seemed to me a bit of a paradox when it comes to kids. Sure Thai people are, on the whole, very friendly and love kids. Walking around anywhere in Bangkok, on the street or in a shopping centre your child will always attract lots of attention and coo-cooing. However to take a look at Bangkok as a city, it always struck me as being incredibly child unfriendly. Poorly maintained, narrow and congested pavements make pushing a pushchair near impossible. A lack of lifts and a lot of stairs make life even more difficult. The traffic is always bad which makes crossing the street at ground level always a risky task! And I wasn't really aware of many child friendly activities as[..]

What if I looked at life the same way I did when I was a wee lass? OK, what if I tried to see my everyday life like a 9 year sees hers? Roller skating, jump roping, and the occasional trip to the local swimming pool were the best activities a little girl could engage in. Yep, I've decided that nine is Divine! I've decided to live my life like I did when I was in 4th grade? I remember loving math. I was good at math. When other children were sweating over times tables, I was cool as a cucumber.

For those who are not fans of tattoos, they sometimes wonder what motivates others, especially the teens to have these body drawings. We often result tattoos to rebellious and negative actions, but that is not always the case. Here are some reasons why they engage in that form of body art: 1. Their compulsive behavior to feelings of love and revulsion, and strong admiration to anything (person, place, celebrities of all sorts, organizations, etc) motivate them to have those indelible marks. They opt to keep the memory alive by making their bodies canvasses for the ensigns or logos, names, and other representations. 2. Teenagers are also noted to possess intense artistic desires.

Have you ever found yourself wondering about the safety of trampolines?

If you, or any of your children are already participating in activities such as riding a bicycle, football, or roller skating, then they're already performing activities where there is a potential risk of injury if performed without caution.

Nobody really knows where the skateboard came from, or when it was first made, except for the popular theory that the concept could have come from the use of wooden, custom made platforms on wheels constructed for recreation through soapbox competitions popularly patronized by children way back in the 1950s. These children would attach soapbox materials and attach them to planks of wood and roller skates and race them around improvised neighborhood tracks in their community. But one thing's for sure, skateboarding today has become a popular sport all over the world, not only a recreation but as an art and challenge skateboarders of all origins and ages have sought to master - a global[..]

We believe the answer lies not in more plastic containers but in thinking about storage more creatively. Many of us believe that most of our things should be[..]
