Keeping hydrated is crucial for health and wellbeing. Around 60 percent of the body is made up of water. Adult humans are 60 percent water, and our blood is 90 percent water. When dehydrated, the skin can become more vulnerable to skin disorders and wrinkling. To function properly, all the cells and organs of the body need water.

Water lubricates the joints, cartilage, found in joints and the diss of the spine, contains around 80 percent water.

Water forms saliva and mucus which helps us digest our food and keeps the mouth, nose, and eyes moist. This prevents friction and damage. Also, when dehydrated, airways are restricted by the body in an effort to minimize water loss. This can make asthma and allergies worse.

Blood is more than 90 percent water, and blood carries oxygen to different parts of the body. With dehydration, the skin can become more vulnerable to skin disorders and premature wrinkling.

It cushions the brain, spinal cord, and other sensitive tissues. It is also involved in the production of hormones and neurotransmitters. Prolonged dehydration can lead to problems with thinking and reasoning.

Water that is stored in the middle layers of the skin comes to the skin's surface as sweat when the body heats up cooling the body.

The bowel needs water to work properly. Dehydration can lead to digestive problems, constipation, and an overly acidic stomach. This increases the risk of heartburn and stomach ulcers. A lack of water can cause blood to become thicker, increasing blood pressure. Water makes minerals and nutrients accessible they dissolve in water, which makes it possible for them to reach different parts of the body. Water helps pre-

vents kidney damage, the kidneys regulate fluid in the body. Insufficient water can lead to kidney stones and other problems. The kidneys play a key role in balancing fluid levels. Every day, the kidneys filter around 120 -150 quarts of fluid. Of these, approximately 1-2 quarts are removed from the body in the form of urine, and the rest is recovered by the bloodstream. If the kidneys do not function properly, waste products and excess fluid can build up inside the body. Untreated, chronic kidney disease can lead to kidney failure. The organs stop working, and either dialysis or kidney transplantation is required.

Water may also help with weight loss, if it is consumed instead of sweetened juices and sodas.

"Preloading" with water before meals can help prevent overeating by creating a sense of fullness. Urinary tract infections (UTIs) are the second most common type of infection in the body. If infections spread to the upper urinary tract, including the kidneys, permanent damage can result. Sudden, or acute, kidney infections can be life -threatening, particularly if septicemia occurs. Drinking plenty of water is a simple way to reduce the risk of developing a UTI and to help treat an existing UTI. In November 2014, the American College of Physicians issued new guidelines for people who have previously developed kidney stones. The guidelines state that increasing fluid intake to enable 2 liters of urination a day could decrease the risk of stone recurrence by at least half with no side effects. Dehydration happens if we use and lose more water than the body takes in. It can lead to an imbalance in the body's electrolytes. Electrolytes, such as potassium, phosphate, and sodium, help carry electrical signals between cells. The kidneys keep the levels of electrolytes in the body stable when they function properly. When the kidneys are unable to maintain a

Life-Changing Privileges Of Turning 18 The Law Dictionary Free Online Legal Dictionary 2nd Ed. In a teenager’s eyes, turning 18-years-old is the ultimate dream, but for parents, it can be their worst nightmare. From letting go of the reigns to accepting their child is growing up, the transition into adulthood is never an easy one. But, from a legal perspective, turning 18 is more than a right of passage or a reason to throw a giant party. In most states, the age of 18 is when a person is officially and legally viewed as an adult, which includes the ability to enjoy certain rights along with the requirement to fulfill certain duties. Here’s an overview of the privileges of turning 18: 1. You are legally responsible for your actions.

A minor (juvenile or child) is under the protection of parents for the necessities of food, clothing, and shelter.

Also, the parents are the legal and financial guardians of the juvenile. If a minor shoplifts or breaks a window with a baseball, the parents are held legally responsible. The minor cannot be held to any contract.

2. You can move out of your parents’ home.

Each state is different when it comes to a concept like being able to move out. But in the United States, the age of 18 is when you legally become an adult. Before that age, you are a minor under the guardianship of your parents.

3. You gain more driving privileges. Under the age of 18, states can dramatically restrict your driving privileges by prohibiting any passengers or driving at certain times of the day.

4. Your juvenile record is sealed.

When you turn 18, you now have a “fresh start” as an adult, so past transgressions won’t legally come back to

balance in the levels of electrolytes, these electrical signals become mixed up. This can lead to seizures, involving involuntary muscle movements and loss of consciousness. In severe cases, dehydration can lead to kidney failure, which can be life-threatening. Possible complications of chronic kidney failure include anemia, damage to the central nervous system, heart failure, and a compromised immune system. The amount of water needed each day varies from person to person, depending on how active they are, how much they sweat, and so on. Now, Please ! Don’t say you hate water! Its keeping you ALIVE! So start drinking water!

THE AMOUNT OF WATER TO DRINK DIFFERS FROM PERSON TO PERSON. MOST PEOPLE DRINK AT LEAST 8 GLASSES

Mayor Deborah Robertson

Is The haunt you.

5. You can enter into a contract. You can enter into contracts because they are now legally binding. This opens up a wide range of new activities you can engage in. Whether you know it or not, a child is not responsible for gambling losses. This is a form of a contract. Juveniles cannot qualify for legally binding contracts.

6. You can get married. Unless you are in a state that allows marriage before 18 years old or with a parent’s permission, you could not get hitched until you became a legal adult. In order to be legally married, you must be an adult who can have the authority to say “I do.” You can’t do that until you are 18 years old.

7. You can consent to physical relationships.

At 18-years-old, you can now have “consensual sex” with a partner. The legal age of consent varies state by state, with some areas being as young as 16 years old.

8. You must sign tax forms for employment.

When you apply for a job, you must sign a tax form and contract. This is not legally binding until you are an adult. Thus, after 18, you can hold a job, get an apartment, buy stocks and purchase real estate.

9. You can join the military. The government wants you to register for the Selective Service (military draft) when you turn 18. You are now legally required to serve your country. You can vote and because jury duty is based on your voting records, you also must serve in a jury of your peers.

People Grow Older, Birthdays Stay the Same. A common source of confusion when labeling generations is their age. Generational cohorts are defined (loosely) by birth year, not current age. The reason is simple, as people age, they change life stages. You will always belong to the generation you were born into.

Even though generation have been disputed this information should give you a general range to help identify what generation you belong in. The other fact to remember is that new technology is typically first adopted by the youngest generation and then is gradually adopted by the older generations. As an example, 95% of Americans have a smartphone, but Gen Z, the youngest generation is the highest user.

Baby Boomers born 1944 to 1964 ages range from 55 to 75 years old. This generation size is approximately 76 Million. Media Consumption is the Highest consumers of traditional media like television, radio, magazines, and newspaper and 90% have a Facebook account. They have a belief that you should take care of your children enough to set them on the right course but don't plan on leaving any inheritance.

Generation X was born between 1965 to 1979, their current ages is 40 to 54 years old. They have other nicknames such as Latchkey and MTV generation. Its approximately 82 million of them. The X generation still reads newspapers, magazines, listens to the radio, and watches TV about 165 hours’ worth of TV a month. However, they are also digitally savvy and spend roughly 7 hours a week on Facebook.

Since they are digitally savvy, Gen X will do some

research and financial management online, but still prefer to do transactions in person. They believe banking is a personto-person business and exhibit brand loyalty. They are the end of the cold war, the rise of personal computing, and feeling lost between the two huge generations.

Gen X is trying to raise a family, pay off student debt, and take care of aging parents. These demands put a high strain on their resources. The average Gen Xer carries $142,000 in debt. They are looking to reduce their debt while building a stable saving plan for the future.

Millennials born 1980 to 1994, their current ages are 25 to 39 years old. They also have other nicknames such as Gen Y, Gen Me, Gen We, Echo Boomers. Their generation size is approximately 95 million.

95% still watch TV, but Netflix edges out traditional cable as the provider. Cord-cutting in favor of streaming services is the popular choice. This generation is extremely comfortable with mobile devices but 32% will still use a computer for purchases. They typically have multiple social media accounts.

Millennials have less brand loyalty than previous generations. They prefer to shop product and features first and have little patience for inefficient or poor service. Because of this, Millennials place their trust in brands with superior product history such as Apple and Google. They seek digital tools to help manage their debt and see their banks as transactional as opposed to relation Their time involved The Great Recession, the technological explosion of the internet and social media, and 9/11 Millennials are entering the workforce with high amounts of student debt.

like weddings and homes. Because of this financial instability, Millennials prefer access over ownership which can be seen through their preference for on-demand services. They want partners that will help guide them to their big purchases.

Generation Z was born 1995 to 2015 their ages are 4 to 24 years old. The nicknames are I Generation, Postmillennials, Homeland Generation. Their Size is roughly 25% of the population. The average Gen Z received their first mobile phone at age 10.3 years. Many of them grew up playing with their parents' mobile phones or tablets. They have grown up in a hyper-connected world, and the smartphone is their preferred method of communication. On average, they spend at least 3 hours a day on their mobile device.

This generation has seen the struggle of Millennials and has adopted a more fiscally conservative approach.

They want to avoid debt and appreciate accounts or services that aid in that endeavor. Debit cards top their priority list followed by mobile banking. Over 50% have not entered a bank branch in at least 3 months.

They are involved with Smartphones, social media, never knowing a country not at war, and seeing the financial struggles of their parents (Gen X). What's next on their financial horizon: Learning about personal finance. They have a strong appetite for financial education and are opening savings accounts at younger ages than prior generations.

THE WORD The Real Reason for The Season!

Easter is a Christian holiday that celebrates the belief in the resurrection

of Jesus Christ. In the New Testament of the Bible, the event is said to have occurred three days after Jesus was crucified by the Romans and died in roughly 30 A.D. The holiday concludes the “Passion of Christ,” a series of events and holidays that begins with Lent —a 40-day period of fasting, prayer and sacrifice—and ends with Holy Week, which includes Holy Thursday (the celebration of Jesus ’ Last Supper with his 12 Apostles), Good Friday (on which Jesus’ crucifixion is observed), and Easter Sunday. Although a holiday of high religious significance in the Christian faith,

Irrespective of denomination, there are many Easter-time traditions with roots that can be traced to non-Christian and even pagan or non-religious celebrations. Many non-Christians choose to observe these traditions while essentially ignoring the religious aspects of the celebration.

Examples of non-religious Easter traditions include Easter eggs, and related games such as egg rolling and egg decorating.

It’s believed that eggs represented fertility and birth in certain pagan traditions that pre-date Christianity. Egg decorating may have become part of the Easter celebration in a nod to the religious significance of Easter, i.e., Jesus’ resurrection or re-birth.

Many people—mostly children—also participate in Easter egg “hunts,” in which decorated eggs are hidden.

Easter Bunny In some households, a character known as the Easter Bunny delivers candy and chocolate eggs to children on Easter Sunday morning. These candies often arrive in an Easter basket.

The exact origins of the Easter Bunny tradition are unknown, although some historians believe it arrived in America with German immigrants in the 1700s. Rabbits are, in many cultures, known as enthusiastic procreators, so the arrival of baby bunnies in springtime meadows became associated with birth and renewal.

Today, Easter is a commercial event as well as a religious holiday, marked by high sales for greeting cards, candies (such as Peeps, chocolate eggs and chocolate Easter bunnies) and other gifts.

11. You can rent or buy a house/apartment. Once you are a legal adult, you can go out on your own and sign a lease to rent. Finding your first place away from home is one of the most fun (and stressful) parts of adulthood – especially if you’re paying for rent yourself. 12. You can make your own medical decisions.

Did you know that listening to music is good for your health? Crank up the tunes and blast those beats!

Patients with memory loss can often remember songs and specific song lyrics. Doctors will often use music and lyric recall to help individuals retrieve lost memories.

Want to remember something from the past? Listen to songs you listened to during that time!

Music and its effect on memory has been a heated debate in the scientific world, but researchers now have evidence that the processing of music and language, specifically memorizing information, rely on some of the same brain systems. There is evidence that suggests the music we heard as teenagers has a greater emotional bind to our brain than anything we’ll listen to as adults, including those with dementia or Alzheimer’s.

Not only can music distract you from “bodily awareness” aka the aches and pains of working out, it has a health effect too. Listening to music releases endorphins in the brain. Endorphins give us a heightened feeling of excitement. With high endorphin levels, we have fewer negative effects of stress.

Turning up your tunes can also up the effort you exert during exercise.

Researchers found that cyclists worked harder and biked a further distance when listening to faster music.

For pace-based exercises like running or weightlifting, music can help regulate rhythm and signal to the brain when the body should move.

Groove is often described as a musical quality that can induce movement in a listener. Basically, you can’t stop Music connects with the automatic nervous system (brain function, blood pressure and heartbeat) and the limbic system (feelings and emotions).

18. Legally, you can decide when you go to the doctor and what kind of medical treatments you receive if you ever find yourself in the hospital. 13. You can vote!

For the first time in your life, you can vote and have a say in the future of your country. Be sure to register to vote in time for the next election. Of course, there are plenty more pros to becoming a legal adult, but these are a handful of the privileges of turning 18 that will impact your day-to-day life the most! Congrats on your newfound adulthood.

When slow music is played, the bodily reaction follows suit, the heart blow slows down and blood pressure drops. This causes the breath to slow, which helps release tension in the neck, shoulders, stomach and back.

Listening to slow or calming music on a regular basis can help our bodies relax, which over time, means less pain and faster recovery time.

Stroke patients, they found that if stroke patients listened to music for a couple of hours a day, their verbal memory and focused attention recovered better.

Music has a unique link to our emotions, just like listening to slow music to calm the body, music can also have a relaxing effect on the mind. Researchers found that listening to music seems to be able to change brain functioning to the same extent as medication.

So, what type of music reduces stress best? We have found Native American, Celtic, Indian stringedinstruments, drums and flutes. The sounds of rain, thunder and nature sounds. Light jazz, classical and easy listening music.

Loud noisy environments, as much as we try to ignore them, can contribute to unconscious stress and tension build-up without us even knowing it.” Choose quieter environments and settings to prime your body to relax and recharge.

WebMD tells us that “stress starts in the brain and then kicks off a chain reaction that switches on the stress response in every cell of our bodies. Over time, these cellular switches can get stuck in the ‘on’ position, leading to feelings of burnout, anger, or depression as well as a host of physical ailments.” Both listening to and making music can alleviate mild and chronic stress.

Crossed arms and legs are physical barriers that suggest the other person is not open to what you’re saying. Even if they’re smiling and engaged in a pleasant conversation, their body language tells the story. Psychologically, crossed legs or arms signal that a person is mentally, emotionally, and physically blocked off from what’s in front of them.

It’s not intentional, which is why it’s so revealing.

Real smiles crinkle the eyes. When it comes to smiling, the mouth can lie but the eyes can’t. Genuine smiles reach the eyes, crinkling the skin to create crow’s feet around them. People often smile to hide what they’re really thinking and feeling, so the next time you want to know if someone’s smile is genuine, look for crinkles at the corners of their eyes. If they aren’t there, that smile is hiding something.

Copying your body language is a good thing. Have you ever been in a meeting with someone and noticed that every time you cross or uncross your legs, they do the same? Or perhaps they lean their head the same way as yours when you’re talking? That’s actually a good sign.

Mirroring body language is something we do unconsciously when we feel a bond with the other person. It’s a sign that the conversation is going well and that the other party is receptive to your message. This knowledge can be especially useful when you’re negotiating, because it shows you what the other person is really thinking about the deal.

Posture tells the story. Have you ever seen a person walk into a room, and immediately, you have known that they were the one in charge? That effect is largely about body language, and often includes an erect posture, gestures made with the palms facing down, and open and expansive gestures in general. Standing up straight with your shoulders back is a power position; it appears to maximize the amount of space you fill. Maintaining good posture commands respect and promotes engagement, whether you’re a leader or not.

Eyes that lie. Most of us probably grew up hearing, “Look me in the eye when you talk to me!” Our parents were operating under the assumption that it’s tough to hold someone’s gaze when you’re lying to them. But that’s such common knowledge that people will often deliberately hold eye contact in an attempt to cover up the fact that they’re lying. The problem is that most of them overcompensate and hold eye contact to the point that it feels uncomfortable.

If you’re talking with someone whose stare is making you squirm, especially if they’re very still and unblinking something is up and they might be lying you.

Raised eyebrows signal discomfort. There are three main emotions that make your eyebrows go up: surprise, worry, and fear. If somebody who is talking to you raises their eyebrows and the topic isn’t one that would logically cause surprise, worry, or fear, there is something else going on.

Exaggerated nodding signals anxiety about approval. When you’re telling someone something and they nod excessively, this means that they are worried about what you think of them or that you doubt their ability to follow your instructions.

A clenched jaw signals stress. A clenched jaw, a tightened neck, or a furrowed brow are all signs of stress. The key is to watch for that mismatch between what the person says and what their tense body language is telling you.

A FRIENDLY AND A RELAXED ENVIRONMENT

Some people have poor communication skills and don’t know how to express their needs, opinions and concerns in a calm and respectful manner. It might be that they panic easily, get defensive too quickly, and fear that they will be ignored and not taken seriously if they communicate calmly and respectfully so they immediately resort to aggression, personal attacks, threats or insults. If you encounter people like this in your social life, it’s best to tell them directly that you will not engage in a conversation that involves disrespect and you won’t be willing to listen to them unless they communicate respectfully and peacefully.

For some people, being aggressive to someone is a way of gaining or showing social dominance and power.

They probably learned that as a coping mechanism from their environment and equate aggressiveness with strength.

People who derive their selfconfidence from putting others down, feel insecure deep down and constantly feel the need to convince themselves and others they are better than you, and they often do it by being passive aggressive, making rude and sarcastic remarks, making fun of you etc. They often get intimidated and will probably leave you alone if you simply stand up for yourself.

Snobs are people who believe their social or material status gives them a right to be patronizing and rude to those they consider inferior. They can be very subtle in letting you know they are above you but they can be one of the most toxic people for your self-esteem, especially if you are surrounded by them on a daily basis. The best thing you can do is to avoid being around them, and if you can’t try to not take them seriously and avoid engaging in conversation with them as much as you can.

Having a bad day is not an excuse for treating other people with disrespect, but we can all recall a situation where we have been rude to someone for no reason other than having a bad day or

being in a bad mood. When people get tired or stressed out, they have diminished capacity to control their behavior, get irritated easily and sometimes lash out at innocent people, try to talk to them about their problem and remind them that their behavior is hurtful to you.

People with low frustration tolerance get easily frustrated and neurotic with everything. They might even often regret their rude behavior later, but when their angers activates they find it hard to control themselves. You will feel much better if you understand that their anger and meanness originate from their own lack of self-control and self-soothing skills and not take them overly seriously.

These people have little interest in appearing nice to others and probably have little regard for treating others well.

They are probably little interested in having friends or being socially accepted and liked, and therefore they have less motivation to be nice and respectful to people.

Some people do not properly detect when they are being rude or offensive. They are simply unaware they come off as rude to others. Their behavior doesn’t arise from malice but from lack of social awareness, lack of understanding of social cues and norms and lack of ability to identify rude behavior in themselves or others.

Its never to late to do a selfexamination and make some changes!

Benefits Of Ginger Water: Why You Should Have a Glass of Ginger Water Every Day

By Staff

Ginger is a perennial root which creeps and spreads underground in tuberous joints. The underground part of the stem, known as the rhizome, is the part that is most commonly used as a spice and is often referred to as the ginger root. Ginger has been used in Ayurveda and homeopathic and traditional medicine for long. Its healing powers have been embraced by many cultures. This medicinal root packs a powerful nutritional punch and is loaded with minerals including potassium, manganese, copper and magnesium. The benefits of ginger water are aplenty.

Ginger water or ginger tea is made by boiling fresh ginger root in water, then cooling and straining the liquid.

Lemon juice and honey are added to this strained liquid which is then sipped slowly.

In her book, “Home Doctor”, Dr. P.S. Phadke mentions that sipping ginger water regularly can help cure kidney problems, arthritis, allergies and cold. According to Macrobiotic Nutritionist and Health Practitioner Shilpa Arora, "Ginger water aids digestion and helps in treating cold and flu infections. In fact, having small doses regularly can help people suffering from asthma. Its antiinflammatory properties can shame strong antibiotics.”

Drinking a glass of ginger water every day can help strengthen your digestive system and prevent indigestion, nausea, and heartburn. A teaspoon of mint juice, lemon juice and a tablespoon of honey mixed with ginger water can relieve morning sickness during pregnancy.

Drinking ginger-lemon water is known to reduce the risk of kidney damage and even lowers the effects of diabetes. The pungent root is a rich source of zinc that plays a big role in the secretion of insulin.

High blood sugar levels can induce hunger and lead to overeating. Ginger water regulates the blood sugar levels and subsequently, controls the urge to eat. It improves the fat absorbing ability of the body which helps in weight loss.

Due to the antioxidants and vitamins present in ginger, drinking ginger water adds a natural glow to your skin.

Moreover, the presence of Vitamin A and C improves the texture of your hair. It clears your blood and has antibacterial properties that help in treating and preventing skin diseases.

Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder that affects the central nervous system. It has been proven scientifically that ginger helps slow down the degradation of brain cells. Researchers have also found that the antioxidants and powerful compounds in ginger fight inflammatory responses that occur in the brain.

When you exercise, your muscles are put to work and may get tired. One way to help accelerate muscle recuperation is to drink a glass of ginger water.
