FOUR STEPS TOWARD EMOTIONAL INTELLIGENCE

Image
  1. Acknowledge Some one : An acknowledgement is a simple statement of another's value. It's a small act that can contribute enormously to the well-being of another and will also make you feel good at the same time.You can acknowledge the most significant person in your life, or you can acknowledge a stranger, or both. Just tell them what they mean to you   How about thanking a waiter for excellent service and for making your dinner a pleasant experience? Or telling your partner how much his or her smile lights up the room? Approach the world with new eyes and look for an opportunity where you can express even a small amount of thanks to someone every single day. Look for opportunities where you can acknowledge somebody's worth, especially when there are no strings attached Think about how you feel when somebody tells you what a great job you're doing or what a difference you make in that person's life.

It was a Sunday night in front of our apartment in Jackson Heights. Queens, New York I was about eight years old and my father took off the training wheels and began to run alongside the bike, helping to balance it from behind as pedaled with some uncertainty and wobbliness, slowly picking up speed, until he was finally able to let go as I shrieked, "I can do it!" That moment of autonomy, which most of us have experienced, at least those of us who learned to ride a two-wheeler, is significant. And it has a lot to teach us about aging well. My father provided emotional support, but h

  Be a Sugar Detective to Guard against Premature Aging Read the label of every food you eat for sugar content. Remember that 4 grams equals 1 teaspoon. A high sugar diet can prematurely age you, resulting in sending high levels of insulin to the blood stream and low levels to the brain. When it comes to sugar, the less you consume, the better.   FEED YOUR BRAIN, EXTEND YOUR LIFE Let’s cut to the chase: Want to start protecting your aging brain big time? Eat Fish. At least twice a week, preferably more. Your grandmother was right about fish being brain food. Cold water fish (such as salmon) contains two critically important fatty acids that have significant effects on brain function and go by the unwieldly names of docosahexaenoic acid and eicosapentanoic acid, but we can call them by their nicknames, DHA and EPA. People have written books extolling the virtues if these omega-3 fats for the heart, brain, and overall human health, but the critical thing to remember for our purpo

  Take one to two capfuls of high-quality olive leaf extract daily (such as Barlean’s Olive Leaf Complex) Olive leaf complex can help prevent the spread of viruses and may stimulate immune cells. It also eats up free radicals and fights oxidative damage. One of the active ingredients in oleuropein, is a substance called elenolic acid. Research shows that Elenolic acid has an uncanny ability to inhibit the growth of viruses. And one form of elenolic acid, calcium elenolate, fights not only viruses but bacteria and parasitic agents as well, studies show. According to Privitera, olive leaf extract directly penetrates infected cells and stops viral replication. And Privitera is not the only health expert who has taken note of the amazing antimicrobial properties of olive leaf extract.

Olive leaf extract may also directly stimulate the formation of immune systems cells t

  Five days a cup seems to be magic number for maximum benefits and heart protection. Alternatively (or in addition), take an EGCG supplement of 250 milligrams per day. GREEN TEA: THE LONGEVITY DRINK Japanese people live longer than people in any other country. One reason just might be the tea. Japanese researchers’ analyzed data from a National Cohort Study that began in 1994 and included more than 40,000 participants aged 40 to 79. Everyone who started the study was free of stroke, heart disease, and cancer. For the next eleven years, researchers’ watched what happened. They found that people who drank five or more cups of a tea a day had a significantly lower risk of death compared to the folks who drank only one cup or less a day. The five-cup drinkers had an especially lower risk of dying from cardiovascular disease and stroke. The more green tea people consume, the less likely they are to have coronary artery disease.
