“Foreign Accent Syndrome” Scary Huh?

I just recently found out about a specific condition of *Foreign Accent Syndrome*. This is very odd how someone can live their whole life in one place and all of a sudden have an accent of some total different place they never been.

Foreign Accent Syndrome: Foreign accent syndrome (FAS) is speech disorder that causes a sudden change to speech so that a native speaker is perceived to speak with a “foreign” accent.  FAS is most often caused by damage to the brain caused by a stroke or traumatic brain injury. Other causes have also been reported including multiple sclerosis and conversion disorder and in some cases no clear cause has been identified.

So is that scary or what? Not very many develop that syndrome, however for the very few that do, it’s very odd.

Self Control or Self Controlled?

I am sure we all remember the Marshmallow experiment… I remember learning it in high school.

Parent says if you keep this marshmallow in front of you and don’t eat it until the parent comes back, you will get two. Can you resist? Can you control yourself and wait?

This is the Marshmallow test that Walter Mischel talks about in this article on CBC, http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/episode/2014/09/23/the-marshmallow-test-of-almost-50-years-challenging-will-power-shows-self-control-can-be-learned/

Take this in for a second, you can always be strong enough to control your mind, and this will define you. The harder you work for yourself, the better you feel, so always strive to better yourself and your mind, because something as simple as the marshmallow experiment can teach you self-control which will go far with you your whole life.

Listen to this: http://www.cbc.ca/thecurrent/popupaudio.html?clipIds=2528272135

Walter Mischel also talks about how this experiment can help you learn self control in your life.

Instand gratification or delayed gratification, which would you strive for?

Watch some of these examples:

Now, if you have a second, take a look at this article http://www.nytimes.com/2014/09/14/opinion/sunday/learning-self-control.html?_r=1

Processed Meats: Rather Eat Poison!

proc·ess1
/ˈpräˌses,ˈpräsəs,ˈprō-/

Verb
”perform a series of mechanical or chemical operations on (something) in order to change or preserve it­­­” *Google definition*

Does this sound like something you want to put into your body? Sorry for my language, but Hell No!

Sadly, in this day of age, almost all food is processed and that is why people are dying early and living with far more diseases than ever before. There are processed meats among many, such as bacon, sausage, hot dogs, sandwich meat, packaged ham, pepperoni, salami and all red meat used in frozen prepackaged meals. All these have sodium nitrite and monosodium glutamate (MSG) inside them which is a major cause of cancer these days and we don`t even take it seriously.

Ofcourse, it is more expensive and more work to watch what your eating, but it is VERY IMPORTANT! You don`t want to wake up in 10 years saying I wish I focused more on my health! Trust me.

If you dont belive me, see what the experts are saying:

”The World Cancer Research Fund (WCRF) has just completed a detailed review of more than 7,000 clinical studies covering links between diet and cancer. Its conclusion is rocking the health world with startling bluntness: Processed meats are too dangerous for human consumption. Consumers should stop buying and eating all processed meat products for the rest of their lives.”

I will not repeat everything written in the article because I will be plagiarising every word because I don`t want you to miss out on anything as it is all important and should be taken to the ultimate priority list.

Read the following article and see what you have been missing:

Right back on GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACT

I have to say… Ever since I posted about this Green Coffee Bean Extract, I have been researching and reviewing if this pill is actually worth it and HEALTHY.

However, though I saw many reviews that gave it positive feedback, though I STILL AM NOT CONVINCED. As I saw a video with Brenda Leigh Turner, I just gave up on the idea. I mean supplements… I have never been able to support supplements like the ones in green coffee extract. All these supplement diets I know are not good for you, I have never supported such a supplement and it has been bothering me since I posted about this extract. Don’t get me wrong I have been hoping they were legitimate and healthy but I think being rather Safe than Sorry is much better. Let’s say they do work. What happens when you stop? Do you gain the weight back and more? Like Dr. Bernstein … I have know many that have done it, and gained the weight all back and more.

SO. I am sorry if I gave some of you hope, but You will need to make that decision on your own because to tell you the truth, I can’t support something that I am not 100% about. I fear this supplement, therefore, I will skip this idea for myself. You make the decision for yourself.

I must say all the advertisement, its working… I know a LivingSocial Deal has come out, and over 400 people have bought it. It’s scary, I guess we can’t tell just yet what the deal is with it.

ABOUT:

Awareness is Heart!

What is wellness? What is health? Easy… eating right, staying in shape, basically keeping your body and mind safe. Right?

We really are blessed to feel this way. In fact, if you are reading this, you are more than blessed because you have more than what the necessities of life are.

Some out there are suffering from famine, they can’t even think of eating *healthy* or eating *well* or keeping their body and mind *safe* because they themselves are not safe. They have no choice but to eat what they can get, if they get. Some can hardly think twice of what they are given, some are dying from hunger and others dying from war. Is it fair?

This is different then other blogs, but I want to open your eyes to something important about this life we are given and the blessings we are allowed. Appreciate and give.

Make awareness a possibility! Spread the word and don’t take life for granted!

Watch this video if you can  (it is 3 of 7) …
If you really care about it, please watch the rest of the videos of War Photographer James Nachtwey.

Staying Younger, For Longer !

What is his secret to great health? Food is linked to how long one lives, in fact studies show that controlling the amount of food you eat extends longevity. Choice of food is very important and must be controlled in order to achieved highest life expectancy. Calorie restriction is definitely one way of keeping healthy and avoiding bad health and diseases, in fact, over-consuming protein is unhealthy too.

In fact, most essential way of keeping healthy is fasting. Scary but true, fasting is beneficial to the brain and health immunity. Essentially, this can be shown with mice experiments starting from minute 43 in the video showing how fasting can trigger new nerve cells in the brain and cognitive ability is increased. Alternate day fasting is said to be the healthiest.

Michael Mosley has set himself an ambitious goal to live longer, stay younger and lose weight too. Michael tests out the science of fasting on himself – with life-changing results.

P.S. More studies still need to be done to confirm this study (through human testing).

advise: eat at least 2000 calories, fasting must be first reviewed by your doctor.

Check out this video for more details; long but worth every minute… Learn how to we can live longer and make sure to pay most attention to the last 20 minutes.

 

Re-visiting my blog on The Alternate Day Diet,  I now understand what Dr. James B. Johnson was talking about, though still disagree on few aspects of the diet.  https://yourdailywellness.wordpress.com/2012/08/30/caution-watch-for-diets/

The secret of Baby language according to Priscilla Dunstan

Priscilla explains to us how babies have a language through their cries and’words’.
Oprah’s interview with Priscilla shows us how to distinguish what babies are trying to tell us through words such as ‘neh’ (Hungry), ‘Owh’ (sleepy), ‘heh’ (discomfort), ‘eair’ (lower gas), ‘eh’ (burp).

Watch this video, it is adorable! Especially if you are a new mother and want to sooth every pain for your baby.

The Great Mystery of H2O

We need to drink all the time in order for our bodies to survive. Deprive your body of it and you will die. It covers 70% of earth’s surface and 70% of human body contains it. It is the only element that can be in three states: gas, liquid and solid. Water is the essence of life, however this video describes water in a completely new perspective. It discusses a new field of study that is completely new and exciting to science. There is a hidden mystery behind water that we never knew. Memory, feelings, stress are all human attributes that people face, however you will see how water contains these incredible attributes too. This video is a new discovery on the science behind water.

This new discovery opens up a new field of study and shows that our understanding of our existence is incredibly limited. See how water can become stressed, and react differently to different emotions, and how it is able to interact with different sources of water to unify itself as one. After watching this video it is difficult to not classify water as living. It is crucial to our existence but we never show our appreciation for it. This video will show you why you should.

Watch this video and try some of the examples that are done. I know it is a little long, but it is incredible and it will make you think twice before drinking it again, I know it did for me.
