What Does Humor Have To Do With Health?

With April Fools day the first of the month, it’s no wonder April has been named National Humor month. Personally, I love it. Anything designed to cause laughter is fine with me! I say, bring on the humor! Research shows that children laugh a whopping 400 times per day while the number of times adults engage in some type of laughter or humorous situation is a mere 15. Not only is laughing just… Continue

It's Spring Break...what better time to take your kids to the beach. When taking your child to the beach or out to play, it is important to remember that the sun's rays are the strongest between 10 a.m. and 4 p.m. Sunscreens are designed to basically block the sun's rays. The "Sun Protection Factor" (SPF) is a measure of how much protection the sunscreen offers. For example, an SPF of 30 means that a child can stay out in the sun 30… Continue

"Social Network" Carefully

Many bad things have happened in "Social Networking" due to lack of proper security. Teach your children, and maybe yourself to use secure systems. People have lost jobs, job interviews and more from personal postings on the Internet.

Use a new kind of system which lets you permit exactly who you want to see your various profiles, profile by profile. A Tampa Bay area firm has created this capability with a new Social Network named YourNight and also…

Good Complexion - In this Case, Judge a Book by It's Cover

http://www.harmonyhealthsrq.com

We're always told NOT to judge a book by its cover. When it comes to skin, however, ignore that advice.

Why is that? From a Chinese Medicine perspective, the answer's simple. We learn that the exterior reflects the interior.

For example, the eyes are considered windows on the soul. Their degree of shine and vitality reveals our physical and emotional… Continue

Flow: Beyond Time Management

Much of what is written about work life balance focuses on the element of time and how it is managed. For some I agree, time management is the place to start.
