Tips for healthy living 
Ray Schilling 
  1. Have a balanced diet like the Mediterranean diet. This ensures you get all the nutrients you need.
  2. Exercise regularly. This maintains your cardiovascular fitness (lungs and heart).
  3. Don’t smoke (otherwise you die prematurely from lung cancer or a heart attack).
  4. Meditate, do yoga or self-hypnosis. This helps you to re-balance you from within.
  5. Take good care of your teeth: brushing, flossing. This prevents gingivitis and periodontitis, which can cause bacteria to get into your blood and infect your heart valves.
  6. Make sure you visit your family doctor regularly for prevention and discuss prevention of obesity and diabetes.
  7. Sleep regularly. Go to bed between 10PM and 11PM. If necessary, use melatonin and valerian root capsules to help you to get a good night’s sleep.
  8. Later in life you likely will lose some hormones (andropause for males, menopause for females). See somebody knowledgeable about bioidentical hormone replacement. This adds 10 to 15 years to your life.

DO NOT BE TOO QUICK TO JUDGE OTHERS  A couple had been married for several years without a child. For the purpose of companionship, they bought a Rottweiler puppy, named it miley and loved her like a child. The dog had access to all the rooms in the house. The puppy grew to become a large, beautiful dog and had on several occasions saved the couples from robbery. Miley was always faithful, loyal and defended its owners against many dangers. Seven years later, the couple was blessed with the long awaited son. They were very happy with their son and naturally decreased the attention they had given to the dog. Miley felt neglected and began to get jealous of the baby. One day the couple left the baby sleeping peacefully in his cradle and went to the terrace to prepare a roast. They were shocked as they were heading to the nursery and saw miley in the hallway with a bloody mouth, wagging its tail. The dog's owner thought the worst, they pulled out weapons and began to beat...

Why do people pass out after donating blood when they have fasted?  I've worked in a blood bank. Not many people passed out while i worked there, it's quite rare, but for those who do, not eating/drinking enough (normal amounts) was the most common reason besides beein nervous.. If you haven't been drinking enough your blood volume falls. The fluid in your blood (plasma, mostly water) needs refill all the time, if not, it will "drain" (sweat, urine, etc). When the blood volume falls, the pressure falls. To prohibit this, the veins in your body constrict. That makes the volume of your veins to fall and the amount (volume) of blood has the same ratio to vein-volume, and the blood pressure is unchanged. If you're dehydrated the veins have constricted to try to keep the pressure up. If you add blood-donation to that, the volume falls even further. The veins can only constrict so much, and it might not be enough to keep the pressure at a normal level, you...
