A Word on Alzheimer’s This condition was named after Dr. Alois Alzheimer who was the first doctor to write a description of this disease as far back as 1906. Back then very little was known about AD but when the doctor did an autopsy on the patient he was studying, he found that the patient’s brains had become enmeshed with what were later termed to be amyloid plaques and tangles. It is the formation of these plaques and tangles that causes the signs and symptoms of this disease....

You’ll sleep much better As it turns out, organic raw honey works wonders and is actually recommended to be eaten before going to sleep! Honey keeps your liver full and makes sure it produces the correct amount of glycogen for the night. When you consume honey before bed, the brain goes into crisis mode searching for fuel. Honey also helps the brain by spiking its insulin levels which releases tryptophan into the brain....

Usually, playlists are arranged in line with moods and feature descriptive sounds; common playlists include: sad music, soft hangover artists, discover new music weekly, chill, country and workout music. These playlists are organized neatly and have been that way for awhile, but what if I told you there was a new way to organize playlists that is inventive, fun and associated with different drinks? It works like this: drinks are associated with different moods, so conveying their moods through music helps kill two birds with one stone....

Honestly, I had no clue on how to address this letter to you, besides using the first word that came to my mind to describe you, that is, “Weirdo”. That is not something I wish to call you, but, that is what everyone else around us have entitled you to be. You are so different, so weird, so awkwardly peculiar, though that is not a bad thing. It is good to be different, trust me....

Instead of summarizing exactly what it’s about, watching the video itself is what will truly impact you. Suffice it to say, it’ll teach you a little something about how the world works, and how you can be one of those who work to change it. In other words, I think what this video is really trying to get across is that we can all make a difference, whether it means helping people in need, or just not judging folks based on their appearance....

Too much information can leave anyone feeling usurped, “feverish ….drained and weak.” Tellingly, today’s Americans need to switch off their screens and go on a “silent diet.” “Infobesity” According to Ephrat Livni in his article If information overload is stressing you out, go on a silence diet, too much information can make you distracted, cranky, ineffective, and emotionally and intellectually bloated hence developing “infobesity.” Bingeing on information can cause this information obesity that has gained increased traction in the entrepreneurial scene....

The Productivity Industry is Out of Control Somewhere along the way, many productivity merchants realized that us “Productivians,” as Nick lovingly refers to us, will try just about anything if it gives us an extra thirty seconds at the end of the day. So the useful information stopped and the crap that leaves readers unsatisfied became the norm, because productivity is like food: if it doesn’t satisfy you, you’ll go get more until it does....

This is precisely the case with artist Steve Cutts. This man has been stirring up a heavy amount of talk with his stark, emotion-filled, yet simplistic, visual messages. Check out seven of his most popular pieces below. This image is entitled “Evolution.” Simply your daily dose. Here’s a man walking his dog. Oh, wait… All in a day’s work… right? Just doing business, or is business doing something else? The result of years of exploitation....

Unchecked, it could take hold of your upbeat mood and plunge it into darkness. I’m talking about social media. A double-edged sword if ever there was one, social media gives us connection with one hand and takes away contentment with the other. We hold up our lives in comparison to these sanitized images and needlessly find our own lives wanting. To keep a cheerful perspective, it’s important to remember that nothing on social media is ever the whole story, that the messy and chaotic part of life is usually hidden from public view....

Said nobody at a Saturday night dinner party, ever. And for good reason. It seems our desire to hide from the truth about our bodies has created a plethora of fad diets that do not work in an industry that generates over $20 billion revenue in the U.S. alone. And if you’re one of the 108 million plus dieters on a mission to get that sexy, toned body of your dreams then it’s likely you’ve (unknowingly) turned to an ineffective fad diet which has promised outstanding results in 15 minutes or less, weight loss while you sleep or some other lofty promise of an easy path to a slender body....

The Lord of The Rings? A Beautiful Mind? Little Miss Sunshine? Finding Nemo? Her? Inception? The Martian? Inside Out? Moonlight? Or La La Land? There’re many amazing films released over the last 17 years. Some are very popular among the public, some get nominated or even receive widely-recognized awards. They’re all amazing in their unique way but some of them really stand out from the crowd. BBC Culture recently reached out to 170 famous film critics around the world and asked them each to pick the best 10 films released from the beginning of 2000 to present days....

Looking from the outside in, I knew this guy was a lot of fun to be around and had a reputation for never losing his cool in a very high stress, deadline riddled position. But what else? I asked my husband why he’d miss him, and he replied, But why? I pressed. This is what he said: There had to be more. So I pressed again, What else? He listens well, and if he doesn’t get it (i....

Though I’ve been studying people for 13 years, suicide is something I know very little about; so in no way, shape, or form am I trying share expertise on the subject. I can empathize a bit. I have a very Expressive Style and that means I can be very emotional and very assertive. This Style also comes with a roller coaster of attitudes and emotions that present great opportunities, but if left unmanaged, can create some real challenges....

As social animals, we humans have a natural tendency to give other people’s opinions far too much weight. We can become overly concerned by what others believe, think, or say about us and our life choices. It’s so easy to forget that most people place themselves at the center of their mental universes and are much more likely to be paying attention to their own lives than whatever you are doing....

No? Maybe you gave up on it, because you didn’t have enough time. Work, family, friends…once you grow up, life gets very busy, very fast. I know. I’ve been there. Worst of all, once I stopped, I didn’t start again, because I thought a few minutes a day aren’t even worth it. “I won’t get any smarter if I just read 5 minutes every day, that’s not going to get me anywhere....

Andreason stipulates that there is indeed a correlation between creativity and certain type of mental illness. The author notes some interesting statistics based on her study group. 43% of accomplished writers show some form of bipolar brain function. 80% of the writers studied had some form or mood disorder. She goes so far as to say some forms of mental disorder may actually heighten creative thought. There are actually some very interesting theories in the book about how creativity develops....

To all our American readers, I and the rest of the Lifehack team wish you the happiest of Thanksgivings today. I wanted to avoid the typical, clichéd, count-your-blessings-what-are-you-thankful-for posts. You all know that. Grade school kids know that. Heck, the unborn already know that. So let’s take it as a given that you’re deeply considering your blessings and what you have to be thankful for today. At least during the commercials, if nobody’s yelling....

In the coming weeks, Pinterest users will start seeing a blue “Buyable pin” price tag next to items which link directly to an online checkout. Clicking it will allow you to purchase the item using a credit card or Apple Pay, or pin it to your wishlist, without having to leave your current spot on your pinning rounds. I know, life used to be so tough. Fortunately, the price of items will remain the same, as Pinterest will not be adding any fees to the service....
