5 tips to have a hassle free morning journey

Morning is a busy time; everyone is rushing to be on time to their work places. During a flurry of activities we make silly mistakes that may ruin our entire day. Especially if you drive to your workplace you need to take care of few things before you put your hands on the steering wheel. We try to save time by skipping as many things as possible, but later on, these apparently trivial tasks costs us hours or even entire day.

You need to perform a set of activities and certain checks in every morning to ensure your safe arrival to your destination.

Check you have enough fuel

If your fuel needle drops too low and you ignore because you don’t have time to get it re-filled. You thing you can safely make to your office with that little fuel and then you find your car stops in the midway leaving you no way to go. Underline message is an effort to save few minutes can cause you hours delay.

Never eat or drink while driving

Don’t eat or drink while you are in a driving seat. Apparently people try to save time by having a small breakfast or a drink while driving. This may distract your attention and vision from road scenario and put your and others safety at high risk. The attempt to save few minutes may cost you in terms of money and time and even worst your personal safety.

Temperature needle

Before you ride your vehicle, it is important to check water level in the radiator. Always maintain an appropriate level of water in the radiator to avoid any hassle while your are on the road. 

Clear your windscreen

It is very important to get your vehicle’s window clear before you drive off. Any spot or stains over the screen no matter how little or trivial may obstructs vision during driving. With this unclear vision, you may miss a traffic sign and react to road conditions. This may not only inhibit you to get office on time rather it may lead to road accidents. It is highly recommended to spend few minutes to get your vehicle’s screen clear to avoid any hassle later on.

Tyre pressure

Have a look at your tyres. If their pressure is not up-to-mark, a morning check would allow you to plan it later at some point of the day.

5 ways to know if your maid is torturing your baby

Working couples and single moms often overburdened with their work commitments find it really hard to spare enough time for their young kids. Their woes get rather worse if their kids are too young. Hiring a maid seems a practical solution for working people but you will never be 100% if your young one is taken proper care of and safe. Several stories in popular press and videos on social networks tell heartbreaking stories of babies who became a victim of those who supposed to look after them.

Important question for such parents is how to determine if their young one is properly taken care of when they are away? And if their kid is being maltreated or tortured how to spot it before it is too late? As a matter of fact, it is really hard to answer these questions with certainty. However, there are few things that can enable them to detect if there young one is being ill-treated, mishandled, or tortured.

Depending upon the type and severity of what you found on baby’s body, you can guess if your kid is subject to maid’s torture or any abuse.

Your baby’s behaviour

Your kid’s behaviour towards his/her maid is an important indicator of how he/she is being taken care of in your absence. If baby shows a disapproval or gets frightened and cries when you try to pass on him/her to maid, probably it is a strongest indicator that your kid is not properly taken care of or subjected to torture.

Make surprise visits

Your unscheduled visit may reveal truly how well maid you hired is good to your baby. Surprise visits don’t allow for cover up and have the potential to expose the true picture.

Make phone calls at regular intervals

While you are away and busy addressing your daily meetings, e mails and deadlines, spare few moments to call back at home and know about how your kid is and what he/she is doing? Try to get an idea about the mood of your baby, if he/she is happy or crying. 

CCTV cameras

Get help from technology; get a camera installed in your baby’s room. This would not only allow you to monitor maid’s performance but also deter maid/babysitter to ignore, mishandle or torture your young one.

How to reverse your age?

Every one of us wants to stay young, energetic and healthy. As a matter of fact, with every passing day, we lose strength, energy and grow older.  Although the emerging result from scientific research claims the discovery of ‘fountain of youth’ – a discovery that attributes aging process to lack of communication between nuclear DNA and the Mitochondrial DNA.  However this research is in its infancy and needs a long way to cover from animals’ experimentation to develop as an effective human age reversing mechanism. Good news is still there are ways which can allow you to march back on the road to youth.

Reduce your Fitness age

Fitness age is measured by cardiovascular endurance.  A study found that fitness age is better predictor of longevity of age and it can be reduced contrary to chronological age.

Fitness age is determined by body’s ability to take oxygen and utilize it. If your body has low oxygen in-take and utilization compared to other people of your age group, it shows your fitness age is older than your actual age. However, it is possible to turn the clock back and have younger fitness age. What it means? It means with age of 40 one can have fitness age of 30 to 60 depending upon their body’s ability to intake oxygen and its utilization.

A study found that people who have their fitness age significantly above their chronological age have 82% higher risk of dying prematurely than those whose fitness age was same or younger than their actual age. This suggests that fitness age is better predictor of early death’s risk than traditional factors like overweight, blood pressure or smoking.

What you need to do if your fitness age exceeds your actual age? Bring it down with exercise.

Enhance the length of telomeres

Telomeres are caps at the ends of chromosomes that protect them from decaying. They are often referred as plastic tips at the end of shoelaces that keeps them binding. With growing age, telomeres get shorter each time cell divides. When they have shrunk to a certain length, the cell may die or stop dividing.

"A number of studies have shown that as telomeres get shorter, the risk of premature death — and most chronic disease, from heart disease to cancer, even dementia — goes up," said study researcher Dr. Dean Ornish, clinical professor of medicine at the University of California, San Francisco.

Recently, a study conducted to determine what effects lifestyle changes have on length of telomeres; concluded a positive relationship exists among them. A significant increase in length was observed, telomeres increased by an average of 10 percent while in the control group who didn’t adopt lifestyle changes, telomeres shortened by an average of 3 percent, according to results of the study.

The discovery that cell’s aging can be delayed by increasing the length of telomeres means it is possible to reverse your ageing process.

Based on the results of this study, it can safely be inferred that positive changes to the lifestyle help reducing one’s age by enhancing the length of telomeres. If you want to slow down your ageing process or even want to reverse it you need to identify changes to your lifestyle in terms of diet, exercise and stress-management that can enhance the length of telomeres.

Best ways to have happiness in life

People around you are toxic

Every one of us, to some extent, gets influenced by people around us. If positive, uplifting, and optimistic people surround us, it will have a positive affect on us. However if people around us are those who are negative, discouraging and downbeat we will tend to feel like them.

You constantly compare yourself with others:

Constantly making comparisons of ourselves with others can make us feel inferior, incompetent and inadequate. First thing is life is not a race so we should stop looking at others in terms what they are doing and achieving. Focusing on our own potentials and living our own life can make our lives much better.

Stop pleasing every one

It is not possible to please everyone. By stopping efforts to please others we can protect us from unnecessary disappointment, frustration and unhappiness.

You ignore little things that can make you happy

You like sports but you never give it a try. You like going out but hardly find time for it. You like travelling but it’s been months or years you never made any trip. If you will not give your life the little things you like, you are going to deny yourself from a due share of happiness.

You work long hours

You are working hard to make a living but making no or very little efforts to make a life. Money matters but it should not be at the cost of your relationships, health and interests.

You exaggerate little things

Small things like forgetting keys at home, traffic fines, traffic jams are frustrating but one should not let them ruin the entire day. It is important to ask ourselves can we make a difference by getting frustrated and depressed. If answer is ‘No’ then there is no need to get worry about what is beyond our control.

You focus on your failures rather than your achievements

If you constantly focusing over what you have not got, surely you are going to deny happiness to yourself. Instead focus on what you have achieved and be grateful for it, it will make you happier.

You are angry with someone

If someone has done something wrong to you, just forgive him/her not because they deserve forgiveness rather you deserve peace. If you continue having a grudge against someone, probably you will cause him/her any harm, but you are going to ruin your happiness for sure.

Problem with your life style

You are not living a healthy life style. You are not eating healthy food, not doing exercise and not taking a proper sleep. By doing so you are violating the law of nature to be happy. Assigning adequate time to your professional activities is mandatory to your progression; in the same way sparing sufficient time for exercise and sleep is fundamental to have happier life.

You fail to learn from your mistakes

If you don’t learn from your mistakes, you continue repeating them again and again. This is a good recipe for unhappiness. So if something run in your life contrary to what you are expecting then take time analyse it and find out a solution so that you can avoid repeating it next time.
