- Sex and Happiness
-
Women who are sexually satisfied are also happier, no matter their age, a new study suggests. It's not clear which causes the other, however.
For post-menopausal women, those whose sex lives were in the dumps scored on average lower on questions related to anxiety, depression, positive well-being (cheerfulness) and vitality. Pre-menopausal women showed similar results, with the sexually dissatisfied scoring lower on vitality and positive well-being.
- Totally maxed out?
-
A professional woman in her early 60s shared with me the challenges that she faced in business. She would come home exhausted at the end of every day. When she put a loaf of bread in the dryer, she said she knew she had to stop burning the candle at both ends.
And then she shared something that really struck me... She said she learned to replace multitasking with being present in the moment. She emphasized the importance of being in the moment with others, connecting with them and being a good listener — not thinking ahead to what you want to say or interrupting with unsolicited advice.
- Caffeine content
-
If you're like most adults, caffeine is a part of your daily routine. But do you know the caffeine content of your favorite beverages? And did you know that some sweets and even over-the-counter medications have caffeine? You may want to take a closer look at just how much caffeine you get in a typical day, especially if you're bothered by headaches, restlessness or anxiety. If your caffeine habit totals more than 500 to 600 milligrams a day, you may want to consider cutting back.

Five healthy foods for a natural brain boost.
We've all heard that doing crosswords and Sudoku are great ways to keep your mind sharp? But what about food for thought? Oprah doc Mehmet Oz, has a list of five foods to add to your grocery list for a natural brain boost. And he says you should eat them every day.
Blueberries: Compounds in the bright berries may help shield against harmful processes tied to Alzheimer's disease and premature brain aging.
Eggs: This breakfast favorite is loaded with selenium -- a mineral that could help make your brain years younger.
Kale: Getting at least three servings a day of dark, leafy greens high in carotenoids and flavonoids can slow mental decline associated with aging.
Mustard: The key ingredient here is turmeric. Getting just 17 milligrams of it a day -- about a teaspoon of mustard -- can help activate genes that control the cleanup of cellular waste in your brain.
Salmon: This pink fish is a great source of omega-3 fatty acids, including the type thought to have the most anti-aging effects on the brain. A DHA supplement is another way to get your omega-3s.
