Negative Effects of Not Sleeping Well

Submitted by Selena Smith on Sat, 11/14/2015 - 20:34

This is a great subject to help us learn more about our own bodies and how they function (or fail to function at times). I have worked around kids and the elderly and have personally seen the long-term effect that lack of sleep can do to someone. Along with that I have an Aunt who is very sickly due to severe sleep deprivation. When I saw the video below it simply hit home.

Adding Food Waste to your Mouth or the Trash

Where should leftover food from our plates go when we feel full?

•    In our belly
•    In the garbage disposal
•    In the trash
•    In the fridge for tomorrow

Next time you start to say, “Finish the food on your plate”, you may want to think twice. We make this choice every single day, at least 3 times a day but most don’t put much thought into it. 

The World Would be an Evil Place

Many men complain that women fall for the “wrong guy” and there’s a common saying that “nice guys finish last”. While I think there is a LOT of truth to both of these I am realizing that it may be best that things stay that way. The “nice guy” is hard to come by, a lot of them have been tainted by us women and there doesn’t seem to be an abundance of men who have a strong desire to keep themselves from being tainted. I think men are more likely to give up and stop trying instead of coming out of situations stronger.

Things to do Besides Cheating on Someone

It seems that cheating has been a fairly common way for people to deal with the problems in their life. Honestly, with all the pressure and emotions, we’re a lacking society living in a “paycheck to paycheck world” it’s not really too surprising anymore.

From the “head of household” perspective, they are tired when they get home from work and are usually met at the door with their spouses problems and never able to express their own issues to where their significant other can actually understand. The person caught in this rut is a likely candidate for cheating, not because they are overwhelmed with their spouses issues but because their minds are not stimulated by, for lack of better words, “grown up conversation”.
