Does Stress Make Us Look Old
Stress can accelerate the aging process by shrinking the brain and weakening the immune system, making it harder to pay attention, learn, or remember. However, the brain is resilient and the negative effects of stress can be reversed through exercise, a healthy diet, and sufficient sleep, as these activities reduce stress and boost brain health.
Kick Start Your Health: Reduce anxiety, depression, start sleeping and feelin...
Have you been feeling run down, stressed, depressed and just plain ‘blah’? Have you been struggling with headaches or lack of sleep? Are you feeling frustrated because you’re not getting the results you would like with your health? You’re not alone.
I’ve created a new training series that is going to show you why you’re struggling and - better yet - it will show you what you can do about it.
Our philosophy here at Insights To Health is to treat the whole person, not random symptoms. In order to do that YOU (our patient) need to understand how your health works, what YOU can do about it, and when to get the help you need.
I’m going to reveal:
▪ Why the traditional healthcare route - symptom-prescription cycle - doesn’t work. In fact, it can make things worse!
▪ How you can take control of your own healthcare and save tons of money at the same time
▪ Best of all, how you can finally get the rest and relief you need and start feeling your best now
▪ I’m going to let you in on something new that’s coming to Insights To Health that will give you the tools to take charge of your own, and your family’s, health for good
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome - Causes, Symptoms & Herbal Treatment
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome is also referred to as Myalgic encephalitis (ME). It is a genetic, psychological, and physiological condition characterized by long term fatigue. www.vaidjagjitsingh.com
Things that destroy mental health
Regular exercise is associated with improved mood and mental health benefits like better focus, deeper sleep, and enhanced memory. A recent study found that neurotransmitter levels of glutamate and GABA increased more in the brains of participants who did aerobic exercise compared to a non-exercising control group, especially in areas related to heart rate and emotion. The amounts of these neurotransmitters decreased over time but were still higher in those who exercised more weekly. Other everyday factors that can impact mental health include coffee consumption, gender differences in mental health issues, time spent outdoors, social media use, diet, and nutrition.
Weight loss center
Our Medical weight loss certainly ensures noticeable betterment in respect to your weight loss goals. We ensure assured weight loss programs that enable patients to emphasize look fit and great.
Cellulite treatments
Our Cellulite treatments ensure incredible results for all our customers. Most of these treatments available don’t live up to people’s expectations, but we are different unlike anybody else.
Simple steps to finding solutions to your healthcare concerns
This presentation discusses the importance of maintaining a healthy nervous system through chiropractic care. It defines health as optimal physical, mental and social well-being, not just the absence of disease. The nervous system controls all cell function in the body, and vertebral subluxations can interfere with nerve signaling and lead to various health issues. Chiropractic adjustments aim to close the "safety pin" of the nervous system by correcting subluxations, allowing the body to heal and function properly without medications. Case studies show chiropractic helping to reduce symptoms for various conditions like tics, headaches, and asthma. The presentation encourages getting a nervous system examination to address any issues.

Stress Management
Holidays can be stressful for many people. Take time to relax, go for a walk and get enough sleep. Drink lots of water and make sure you don't forget to take your vitamins. Stay calm and don't worry about the little things. The holidays are all about family, not the gifts.
Brain Development and Toxic Stress
The document discusses how brain development is most rapid from birth to age 5, as the brain triples in mass and growth involves forming new connections. Certain areas of the brain, such as those involved in emotions and stress response, are particularly sensitive during this period. Experiences with strong, frequent, or prolonged stress without support from caring adults can lead to "toxic stress", damaging the prefrontal cortex and increasing fear and anxiety even in safe situations later in life. This is due to the stress response becoming conditioned to generalize fear more broadly. Removing the danger later does not necessarily "fix" the effects of early childhood toxic stress on brain development and behavior.
My Mindful Stress - The New Approach to Stress Management
This document discusses mindfulness as a way to manage stress. It explains that mindfulness is the ability to respond to stress rather than react to it. It notes that on average people have around 64,000 thoughts per day, with around 75% being negative. The document then outlines different mindfulness practices like stopping and dropping to be present, grounding to balance the nervous system, opening to balance hormones, and resting to heal and understand. The overall purpose is to use mindfulness to manage stress through practices of presence, grounding, opening, and resting.
Stress and the brain
Stress can negatively impact brain development and function. Prenatal and early childhood stress can permanently alter brain development and lead to mood disorders and learning disabilities later in life. Stress hormones released during stress can impair memory formation and recall. Chronic stress can physically shrink parts of the brain like the hippocampus that are important for learning and memory. Even short term stress can reduce brain cell connections and harm brain structure and function.
Psychologoical Vs Stress
This document summarizes a presentation about stress and wellness. It defines stress and discusses its three dimensions: physical, biochemical, and psychological. It provides examples of positive and negative psychological stress and their health effects. The presentation recommends reducing negative stress through addressing issues, balanced media consumption, completing tasks, and chiropractic care. It discusses how stress impacts the immune system and leads to health problems like high blood pressure and heart disease. The presentation encourages committing to lifestyle changes and chiropractic treatment to improve wellness.
Get Facts And Prevent Premature Death
Researched backed tips to get you on the right track to live longer. Share with friends and let them know 4 easy ways to prevent dying too early. We take life for granted sometimes and in the most tender moments of loosing our loved ones all too soon, sometimes we wonder what it would be like had we taken some precautions.
In my family, high cholesterol and high blood pressure go hand in hand. Partly genetic and partly environmental, our love of food has most likely contributed to our health. I mean who doesn't love a side of fries with cheese and pastrami slathered all over it? Or if you have ever had Filipino food, those dang Lumpia (Eggrolls) are decadent to the taste but silently deadly fatty oils penetrating and building in the heart.
This is why Omega 3s (don't know what they are, click here) was included in my tips.
Then there's the old exercise tip that everyone repetitiously hears from their doctor, TV, anyone and anybody who lives to work out. No one says it has to be amazingly hard HIIT, tabatta, or Cross-fit although these will certainly become your security guards to a healthy heart. Walking is simple, easy, and non-evasive for the most gentle way to get your body moving and increase your heart flow
Yoga was my top pick because there are so many forms of yoga and not just hot power yoga for all body types. If yoga isn't your thing, turns out walking is simple, easy, and non-evasive to the most anti workout person.
Working out leads to tiredness which leads me to my next tip. Sleeping. ZZZ. ZZZ. My favorite activity above all else. Unfortunately, sleep deprivation can be a silent deadly cleaner. Anything less than 6 hours or more than 8 hours is harmfue. Let's call it the Goldilock Rule. Juuuuuuust Right. Keeping a daily cycle of sleep hygiene at 6-8 hours keeps the body and its hormones on a schedule. Changes can disrupt your sleep and affect your health overall.
Stress management
The document discusses major life and workplace stressors and provides tips for managing stress. It lists the top ten major life stressors according to the Holmes-Rahe Stress Scale as death of a spouse, divorce, marital separation, and others. The top ten workplace stressors include having too much to do at once, random interruptions, unclear company policies, and lack of appreciation. Prolonged stress can weaken the immune system and kill brain cells. The document recommends ways to relieve stress such as taking deep breaths, prioritizing tasks, exercising, meditating, and focusing on the present moment.

Meditation and Mindfulness Report 2015
1) Meditation has numerous physical, mental, and social benefits including reducing stress hormones like cortisol, lowering blood pressure, reducing anxiety and depression, and improving brain function and memory.
2) Regular meditation practice of even just 10 minutes per day can help decrease one's vulnerability to stress and promote positive emotions. This allows individuals to approach challenges with greater strength and clarity.
3) Meditation involves focusing attention on breathing to calm the mind and increase oxygen in the bloodstream, boosting hormones like oxytocin that promote feelings of comfort and connection.
Energy work and placebo
This document discusses the placebo effect and its relationship to energy work like qigong. It defines a placebo as a dummy medical treatment containing no active substance. Placebos can still produce clinical improvements through psychosocial factors like expectation and conditioning. Studies show placebos activate opioid release in the brain which impact pain, emotions, and other body systems. Different types of energy or chi are discussed as being involved in qigong's healing effects, like mind, muscle force, spirit, and the body's energy system. Qigong is under an umbrella that includes energy systems, body/muscle systems, mind systems, and spatial systems involving movement, imagery and breath. The document questions whether all ways the mind can influence the body should
Hyperstimulation Anxiety
The body’s stress response has evolved to outwit predators and avoid starvation, not to fight with rush hour traffic and overbearing bosses.
Modern living swells with sources of stress unrelated to life-or-death situations, such as sleep deprivation, poor nutrition, toxic relationships, financial concerns, and more. The human body requires periods of stress and relaxation to be healthy, and our fast-paced society often makes this feel next to impossible.
Stress
The document defines stress and models of the stress response. It discusses homeostasis and how the body tries to maintain equilibrium in response to stressors. Three main models of stress are described: stimulus-based (stress is a stimulus that causes physiological/psychological reactions), response-based (Selye's general adaptation syndrome of alarm, resistance, and exhaustion stages), and transactional (stress arises from person-environment interactions). Factors like genetics and development stage influence individual stress tolerance. Nursing management of stress involves identifying stressors and helping patients strengthen healthy coping responses.
Quantifying and Treating Stress

The New Brand Ecosystem
The document discusses how the digital world is changing how brands market themselves and connect with consumers. It notes that consumers now spend more time interacting with brands across social media, mobile apps, and owned digital channels than traditional media. It advocates that brands should engage consumers through interactive content on owned channels, distribute that content through social and mobile media, and reach broader audiences with paid media to build an effective brand ecosystem. It provides Smirnoff as an example of a brand that successfully implemented this approach.

Designing Better UX Deliverables - Cambridge Usability Group, 12 May 2014
Slides from my talk at Cambridge Usability Group on the 12th of May 2014
http://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/designing-better-ux-deliverables-tickets-11542298325
Needing to produce some kind of deliverables throughout a project is inevitable: it might be user research reports to inform senior stakeholder; usability test results to communicate to developers; sketches and wireframes to pass on to web designers.
Just as we make the products and services we design easy to use, the UX of UX is about communicating your thinking in a way that ensures that what you've defined is easy to understand for the reader. It's about adapting the work you do to the project in question and finding the right balance of making people want to look through your work whilst not spending unnecessary time on making it pretty.

Gestalt Educational Program
The Gestalt Program consists of 15 lectures and workshops in Islamabad and Rawalpindi exploring Gestalt theory and Bauhaus design. Gestalt refers to the idea that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. The program, led by architect and art historian Mariano Akerman, examines key concepts like figure and ground, chance and intention, and the interplay between tradition and modernization. It discusses how modernity integrated functionality and irrationality through Gestalt and Bauhaus approaches to form and design.
User Experience Design: A Primer for Marketers
This document provides an overview of user experience design for marketers. It discusses how design has evolved from focusing on advertising, branding, and product design to also encompass digital experiences through websites, apps, and other interfaces. The value of companies like Uber and Airbnb that don't own assets but provide digital experiences is highlighted. User experience design is explained as an interdisciplinary practice that includes human-computer interaction, information architecture, visual design, and other areas. The design process of empathizing with users, exploring solutions, and executing prototypes is outlined. The importance of user research, prototyping, testing, and iteration is emphasized to create user-centered experiences.
UCD15 Talk - Lucy Blackwell - How Experiences Sell Products
Providing a great experience is now a standard requirement for any successful digital product. Listening to the users, gathering data and analysing every interaction is the foundation of solid UX, but is there more to the story...? This talk will explore how brands have evolved to understand not only what people say they want, but more importantly what makes them feel good, what they actually remember, what they really value, and what makes them share this experience with the world. Using a variety of examples from old and new brands, current research and recent ideas we've explored at FutureLearn, I'll tell the story of why savvy brands no longer sell a product, but now sell an experience.
Website Audit Checklist
The document provides a checklist for auditing a website and digital strategy. It covers key topics such as infrastructure management, creative and user experience, promotion, analytics, and strategy. For each topic, it lists important questions to consider to evaluate things like site performance, design, user experience, analytics use, competitive landscape, and strategic alignment. The overall goal is to assess how well the website and digital efforts are supporting business objectives.

The document discusses the benefits of exercise for mental health. Regular physical activity can help reduce anxiety and depression and improve mood and cognitive functioning. Exercise causes chemical changes in the brain that may help protect against mental illness and improve symptoms.
Principles of Design (part I) Gestalt Laws-Unity and Harmony
The document discusses Gestalt principles of design, specifically unity and harmony. It explains that according to Gestalt theory, humans naturally seek order and relationships between elements. To achieve unity, similar elements should be grouped together. The document then provides several examples to illustrate principles of unity, including unity and placement using lines, shapes, and repetition through lines and shapes.
Gestalt principles
This document discusses Gestalt psychology and its principles and relevance to teaching and learning. It provides an overview of Gestalt psychology, describing it as focusing on how the mind forms unified perceptions out of incomplete sensory information. It outlines several key Gestalt principles of proximity, similarity, closure, good continuation, and figure/ground.
