2 Great Ways to Enrich Your Life!

FEEL GREAT: To strengthen your brain eat berries! Older women who consume at least a cup of strawberries or one-half cup of blueberries per week delay cognitive aging by up to two and a half years. Researchers even say berries likely provide similar benefits for men! The key ingredient is flavonoids: antioxidants also found in tea, red wine, apples, and oranges.

SAVE MONEY: Outsmart the hotel chains by letting them compete for your business. At BackBid.com, once you make a reservation, other hotels offer competing bids, often throwing in extras like free breakfast. Just pick the deal you like best. At LuxuryLink.com, you place bids on discounted rooms. Minimum buds are up to 65% lower than normal rates.

4. JEWELRY
A statement necklace, ring, or bracelet.

Little black (or white) party dress.

When it comes to makeup, a small set of products with rich colors and basic makeup techniques are all that women need for year-round beauty. Drugstore products are great for looking polished on a budget.
 

ASPIRIN & HEART ATTACKS

Most heart attacks occur early in the day; generally between 6 A.M. and noon. Having one during the night, when the heart should be most at rest, means that something unusual happened. Researchers have been working for years to show that sleep apnea is to blame.

IF YOU TAKE AN ASPIRIN OR A BABY ASPIRIN ONCE A DAY, TAKE IT AT NIGHT.
Aspirin has a 24-hour 'half-life"; so, if most heart attacks happen in the earlier hours of the day, the Aspirin would be the strongest in your system.

Aspirin lasts a long time in your medicine chest; once it smells like vinegar it needs to be tossed.

SYMPTOMS
There are other side effects of a heart attack besides the pain on the left arm. There might be an intense pain on the chin, nausea, and lots of sweating. Sometimes there may not even be pain in the chest.

About 60% of people who had a heart attack during their sleep did not wake up. However, if chest pain occurs, it may wake you from a deep sleep.

IF YOU HAVE A HEART ATTACK
- Immediately dissolve two Aspirins in your mouth and swallow with water.

- Call 911

- Phone a neighbor or a family member who lives very close by.

- Say "heart attack!"

- Say that you have taken 2 Aspirins.

- Take a seat on a chair or sofa near the front door and wait for their arrival.
