Just the though of a persons last words

before they die is incredibly morbid, yet at the same time they are incredibly fascinating. Our last words are spoken when we have nothing else to gain from life, often revealing a person true self or outlook on life. Some even believe that they offer an insight in to what lies beyond death. Here are the last words of 20 famous people before they passed away. 

1. Daina, princess of wales

2.Winston Churchill 2

3. Steve Jobs

Possible Reasons Why Your Memory is Letting You Down

Possible Reasons Why Your Memory is Letting You Down
 
 You walk into the kitchen only to realize you have no idea why you’re there, forget the name of someone you just met, start driving only to realize you forgot how to get to where it is that you’re going. Such lapses are usually attributed to an overload of information, but from time to time, other things hinder your ability to remember. Here are the 13 most common causes of memory lapses.
 1. Vitamin B12 Deficiency
 Similarly to iron, B12 aids in the creation of red blood cells, reduces lethargy and the risk of anemia, and improves vital memory processes. A recent study found that Vitamin B12 deficiency may result in erratic memory.
 The research found that B12 works as a protective layer for myelin – the substance that coats our nerves. When there isn’t enough B12 in your system, the layer is not thick enough and gets damaged. This damage slows down nerve impulses, which can also lead to memory lapses.
 B12 deficiency can be caused by old age – the older we get, our stomach secretes less acid, making it harder for our bodies to absorb nutrients from food. Another cause can be unhealthy diet choices, Anemia, and Crohn’s disease. B12 is most common in fish, meat, and dairy, so consult your doctor about the best source of B12 for you.
 2. High Blood Pressure
 If you’re under 45 and tend to be “forgetful”, you may want to test your blood pressure. In a research conducted at the University of Alabama, it was found that people who have higher blood pressure tend to suffer from memetic lapses, as well as a decrease in cognitive skills, when compared to people with normal blood pressure.
 High blood pressure damages the inner walls of the arteries, causing them to tear and form scar tissue, which hardens the arteries. Harder arteries allow less blood to travel through them, reducing the amount needed for the brain to function properly, and may lead to memory problems.
 The good news is that a healthy diet, physical exercise and weight loss can help reduce the risk of such arterial hardening.
 3. Hypothyroidism
 If you’re tired, gaining weight, feeling depressed and your memory is on the fritz, you may be suffering from hypothyroidism.
 Hypothyroidism often occurs slowly and gradually, lowering the levels of the hormone thyroxine (T4), which has a critical role in our body’s energy production. Low T4 causes a slower metabolism and slower cognitive functions, causing lapses in memory.
 Common causes of hypothyroidism can be autoimmune diseases such as Hashimoto’s, where the body attacks itself. Alternatively, viral infections and even abuse of antibiotics may also induce hypothyroidism.
 4. Menopause
 A common theory that makes the connection between forgetfulness and menopause with women was recently corroborated. Research conducted by the University of California confirms that as estrogen levels dwindle, memory lapses tend to occur. Estrogen protects neurotransmitters, and without it, they become less efficient. Such cases can be treated with HRT.
 5. Migraines
 If you suffer from migraines, you may be at risk of suffering from Transient Global Amnesia (TGA) in your 50’s. TGA is a state where a person cannot recall events from the previous day, cannot remember where they are or how they got there while still remembering who they are and who other people are.
 It is customary to see this type of amnesia as a result of a genetic flaw, leading to a spread of nerve impulses in the brain. TGA can temporarily paralyze the memory, and just like migraines, can be triggered by sudden immersion in hot or cold water, extreme emotional distress, or even sexual intercourse. Luckily, TGA is not very common, rarely occurs more than once in a lifetime and is reversible.
 6. Long Flights
 Long flights can leave us exhausted and weary. These symptoms are usually caused by inconsistent sleep patterns, as well as jet lag.
 Research conducted at the University of California showed that the feeling of drowsiness, memory lapses and the difficulty in processing information can extend for quite some time after the flight, and even after the feelings of jet lag have passed. When we sleep, our hippocampus processes our memories, so not enough sleep can cause memory lapses.
 7. Pregnancy
 Pregnant women are often stigmatized as having bad memory, but in recent research conducted in Australia, researchers compared the performance of pregnant vs. non-pregnant women. The results were conclusive - pregnant women under-performed in memory-related tasks when compared to their non-pregnant counterparts. Researchers hypothesized that the reasons are the changes in lifestyle and diet.
 8. Chemotherapy
 Another unpleasant side effect of chemotherapy is memory loss, often referred to as chemo-brain by patients.
 The chemotherapy can affect the way brain cells function, as shown in a Stanford University study that showed how women who undergo chemotherapy for breast cancer also suffered memory lapses when compared with those who did not engage in chemotherapy.

Give Your Feet a Treat With This Terrific Homemade Foot Soap...

Homemade Foot Soak from Milk & Baking Soda
 
 There aren't many of us who would claim that the feet are amongst the most attractive features of the human body. But when summer is here and the sun is shining, we all want to get our sandals or flip flops on, which means we have to show our feet to the world - along with all the rough skin, calluses, blisters and blemishes that they carry with them. Sometimes they just need a good pampering, and fortunately there's a great foot soak you can make at home that will give your feet the perfect boost.
 Many people swear by this remedy, yet it uses only two, common ingredients we all have in our home. Here's how you can whip up a fantastic mixture that will have your feet looking and feeling great for the summer!
 

 What you will need:
 2-4 Cups of Milk.
 A liberal sprinkling of Baking Soda.
 A large bowl, big enough to fit both your feet in at the same time.
 How To Create Your Foot Soak:
 The process couldn't be easier, anyone can do it! Perform the trick regularly - we suggest at least once a week - for best results. Your feet will thank you for it. Here's how to create the soak:
 1. Warm your milk up. You can use between two to four cups, depending on how big your bowl is, how big your feet are and how much milk you have
 2. Pour the milk into a good sized bowl. You need to be able to fit both feet in the container at the same time, side-by-side.
 3. Soak your toes in the milk for around five minutes, and then grab your baking soda. Lightly sprinkle a liberal amount of the powder into your foot bath.
 4. Mix the baking soda into the mixture by gently moving it around the bowl with your feet.
 5. Make sure you give plenty of attention to areas where the skin is usually harder, or thicker. These include the bottom of your heels, the area underneath your toes and the balls of your feet. Massage plenty of the mixture into these areas. Use your hands if you need to do so.
 6. Don't forget to work the mixture into the tops of your feet and ankles as well, even if they are not fully submerged. These are the parts of your feet that are most on display when you are wearing sandals or flip flops!
 7. When you are happy that you have scrubbed enough, sit back with a book or your favourite TV program and let you feet soak for another five minutes
 8. Clean your feet with warm water and dry thoroughly.
 You should find that your feet look and feel healthy and rejuvenated! The combination works because the two ingredients complement each other. Milk contains lactic acid which softens the skin. Baking soda, meanwhile, has abrasive properties which can remove dry and rough patches once they have been softened up.

Filter Your Mind

The mind gets spammed by so much stuff through the day. Input comes from all directions, from the subconscious, other people, media....

As so much of it is useless, the mind just gets clogged.

To filter out the spam, give yourself a moment in the morning, during lunch, tea breaks, and before bed.

Solutions
Whenever we face problems we tend to blame situations and people and
feel that these problems have come to take away our power. We begin to
wish for something to happen to change the situation so that we can be
free from the problem itself. But it normally seems to take a long
time before the situation changes. The only way we can be free from the
problem is to create a solution for it. The situation will not change
on its own but we need to create some solution for it. This is what
brings inner strength which is because of what we have discovered
within while working on our problem.

15 Ways to Raise Your Metabolism

A good workout schedule is a great way to keep yourself fit and to maintain a healthy metabolism, but there are other things you can do to supplement your workout. Here are just some of the ways you can keep your body in top shape, and help it make the most out of your regular exercise.

Don't skip breakfast:
Eating a good healthy breakfast is crucial in maintaining optimal energy levels throughout the day. Skipping breakfast will send your body into "starvation mode", and slow its metabolism.

Eat more foods with lean protein:

Lean protein require a lot more energy to burn and digest, which increases your metabolism. Try eating more chicken and tinned fish in water, and you'll see they keep you full and satisfied for a longer time.

Eat lots of omega-3 rich foods:

Omega-3 are fatty acids that contain a myriad of benefits to your body and boost itmetabolism. Don't let the term "fatty" scare you, these are acids that help regulate your blood sugar and your metabolism steady. Good sources for omega 3 are foods like avocados, fish and walnuts.

Eat yogurt:

Just yogurt, not some froyo with a ton of cookies, sprinkles and gummy bears. Simple, low fat, yogurt contains nutrients which raise your bodies resting metabolic rate.

 

Eat dark chocolate:
The caffeine and the antioxidants in dark chocolate are both known to be metabolism boosters. However, make sure you eat brands with 70% cacao and above, anything lower has too much sugar and fat.

 

Take some time to breathe:
It might sound silly, but taking a few minutes every day to focus on some heavy deep breathing is very beneficial. Deep relaxed breathing brings more oxygen into your body which helps you burn more energy.

 

Eat healthy snacks:
Small healthy snacks during the day can keep your energy level consistent. This will keep your metabolism high by maintaining normal blood sugar levels at all times of the day. Remember not to overdo it so you'll still be able to eat normal sized regular meals and to only eat healthy snacks.

 

Eat nuts:
Walnuts, pecans and pistachios contain many vitamins, minerals and essential fatty acids that aid in boosting metabolism. A handful a day is more than enough and it's also a good idea for a healthy snack.

 

Spice up your food:
Spicy foods and condiments contain capsaicin, which been shown to increase metabolic rates by increasing your hormone levels.

 

Drink green tea:
Green tea contains phenols, chemical compounds that increase your body’s ability to burn energy and calories.

 

Don't skip meals:
Much like skipping breakfast, skipping any other meal is just as bad for your metabolism. If you're hungry, just eat and make sure it's healthy food.

 

Drink water:
Green tea, coffee and energy drinks may all have their benefits but nothing beats a cold glass of water. Drinking six cups of cold water a day can boost your metabolism by burning up an extra 50 calories a day.

 

Relax:
Taking the time to alleviate your stress will benefit your life in more ways than one. Stress causes the production of cortisol which can slow your metabolism down. So take some time to read a book, listen to some music or take a massage, whatever helps you relax.

 

Eat a light snack before sleep:
To keep your nocturnal metabolism high as well as your daily, eat a light snack before going to bed. If you just had a big meal shortly before going to sleep, then it's not needed and it's even recommended to wait a bit before you go into bed.

 

Get a good night's sleep:
Rest is essential for a healthy metabolism. Sleeping for eight hours nightly will increases your energy levels throughout the day. It will also help keep stress hormones and blood sugar levels stable, an important part of any healthy life style.

Making Assumptions

Assumptions are a part and parcel of life. We make so many assumptions about people, places and things.

Assumptions are when we believe something to be true without actually knowing it to be so. We use assumptions as facts in our decision making process.

When our assumptions are wrong, we may hurt others, make things complicated or have a misunderstanding.

So, don't do it. Don't assume! Be curious and ask for more information. Take the time to find out the facts.

Amazingly Simple Tricks To Turn Your Brain Into A Powerful Thinking Machine

There are two basic principles to keep your brain healthy and sharp as you age: variety and curiosity.
When anything you do becomes second nature, you need to make a change. If you can do the crossword puzzle in your sleep, it's time for you to move on to a new challenge in order to get the best workout for your brain.

Curiosity about the world around you, how it works and how you can understand it will keep your brain working fast and efficiently. Use the ideas below to help attain your quest for mental fitness.

1. Read a Book
Pick a book on an entirely new subject. Read a novel set in Egypt. Learn about economics.

There are many excellent popular non-fiction books that do a great job entertaining you while teaching about a subject.
Become an expert in something new each week.

Branch out from familiar reading topics. If you usually read history books, try a contemporary novel. Read foreign authors, the classics and random books.

Not only will your brain get a workout by imagining different time periods, cultures and peoples, you will also have interesting stories to tell about your reading, what it makes you think of and the connections you draw between modem life and the words.

2. Play Games
Games are a wonderful way to tease and challenge your brain. Suduko, crosswords and electronic games can all improve your brain's speed and memory. These games rely on logic, word skills, math and more.
These games are also fun. You'll get benefit more by doing these games a little bit every day-spend 15 minutes or so, not hours.

3. Use Your Opposite Hand
Spend the day doing things with your non-dominant hand. If you are left-handed, open doors with your right hand. If you are right- handed, try using your keys with your left. This simple task will cause your brain to lay down some new pathways and rethink daily tasks. Wear your watch on the opposite hand to remind you to switch.

4. Learn Phone Numbers
Our modem phones remember every number that calls them. No one memorizes phone numbers anymore, but it is a great memory Skill. Learn a new phone number everyday.

5. Eat for Your Brain
Your brain needs you to eat healthy fats. Focus on fish oils from wild salmon, nuts such as walnuts, seeds such as flax seed and olive oil. Eat more of these foods and less saturated fats. Eliminate transacts completely from your diet.

6. Break the Routine
We love our routines. We have hobbies and pastimes that we could do for hours on end. But the more something is second nature, the less our brains have to work to do it. To really help your brain stay young, challenge it. Change routes to the grocery store, use your opposite hand to open doors and eat dessert first. All this will force your brain to wake up from habits and pay attention again.

7. Go a Different way
Drive or walk a different way to wherever you go. This little change in routine helps the brain practice special memory and directions.

Try different side streets go through stores in a different order
anything to change your route.

8. Learn a New Skill
Learning a new skill works multiple areas of the brain. Your memory comes into play, you learn new movements and you associate things differently. Reading Shakespeare, learning to cook and building an airplane out of tooth picks all will challenge your brain and give you something to think about.

9. Make Lists
Lists are wonderful. Making lists helps us to associate items with one another. Make a list of all the places you have traveled. Make a list of the tastiest foods you have eaten. Make a list of the best presents you have been given. Make one list every day to jog your memory and make new connections. But don't become too reliant on them. Make your grocery list, but then try to shop without it. Use the list once you have put every item you can think of in your cart.
Do the same with your to do lists.

10. Choose a new skill
Find something that captivates you that you can do easily in your home and doesn't cost too much. Photography with a digital camera, learning to draw, learning a musical instrument learning new cooking styles, or writing are all great choices.
