The Definition of Sleep and What it Does
Why is sleep important?
Sleep needs no definition, especially for most people who have longed for the sweet experience of deep slumber, Sleep may be defined as that stage in which a person is supposed to experience total relaxation of body and mind. During sleep, a person is less conscious and less active but his brain is at work.
Proper sleep is important if a person is to keep to his normal duties the next working day. A person who gets little sleep will be more irritable, less focused and more fatigued the next day. Getting less sleep for one night can be an irritant to most people; getting less sleep for weeks can be extremely detrimental to health.
People who lack sleep can wake up troubled the next morning. And, while a person who lacks sleep can still do his normal tasks, he could be doing it in a robotic way and he can start acting like a zombie.
While lack of sleep can cause minor disturbances and changes in a person’s behavior and working patterns, it can cause a major catastrophe when a sleep deprived person attempts to drive and subsequently causes an accident. Sleepy drivers have caused deadly accidents on the highways. This is no joke when you consider that almost fifty one percent of drivers feel sleepy behind the wheel. This has led to 100,000 annual crash incidents and the numbers are still increasing.

INTRODUCTION
The truth is we begin the aging process just as soon as we pop out of the womb. Every day of our lives our bodies slough off and regenerate new cells. The speed at which that process takes place when we are children is vastly different as we get older.
For years explorers searched for the illusive “fountain of youth.” Unfortunately, it does not exist or you wouldn’t be reading this.
Every day you are bombarded daily with commercial messages that attempt to lure you into believing that the most recent miracle drug is just what you need to fight off the ravages of Mother Nature.
At times it seems as though there are more miracle methods than ever being flashed in front of your eyes each day. . .and there are. Ask any advertising executive and they will admit that there are more advertisements than ever touting everything designed to cash in on a huge market. What is that market? It’s the aging Baby Boomers.
We are living longer as a whole. Singularly, that can be a curse or a blessing depending on your perspective. In this book we will explore low and no cost methods you can use to help in the anti-aging process.
Some of our material may be new and some serve as reminders of things we may have forgotten. We may not have had much say in how we arrived on this earth, but we can certainly determine how and when we will depart. Just remember, YOU are in control.

Running is not only practical, it is also the easiest, cheapest way to get healthy and in shape. Running, as a cardio exercise can benefit anyone – young or old. That is why running along with brisk walking continues to be popular with sports buffs everywhere.
Imagine, you do not have to sign up for a gym, nor do you need to purchase expensive equipment to enjoy running. Plus you get to enjoy the quiet joys of nature while breathing in cool crisp air while clearing your mind at the same time. Some testify that running is the best way to squeeze healthy exercise into a busy schedule.

Looking At The World From A Different Set Of Lenses
People have long established the norms of society. Long ago they founded the textbook that will dictate what is acceptably “normal” to the civilization at large. For most of the time that man has been doing this they have also branded the things that they encounter and could not understand as “abnormal.” Only a handful of individuals would actually spend time to understand the phenomenon that baffles everyone else.
During those times, people were called heretics and blasphemers because they wouldn't take the answer that the common society was feeding them so they went to seek out their own answers. While some tried to look for answers to their questions, some people have all the answers they will ever need cached in a different lens where they can look at in their own time and at their own pace.
These types of people are considered as having "special needs" a subtle way of addressing people that are unable to conform to the standards of "normal" society. People with special needs are often regarded as people who are abnormal to the sight of the world because in their own world everything is peaceful and beautiful as opposed to the "real world" where "normal people" live. A world of chaos, greed, lack, and suffering.

What Causes Negative Thinking
Learn the Causes of Negative Thinking to Conquer It
Negative thinking can be a destructive force. It can cause you to pass up on the best opportunities in life simply because you don’t believe it will succeed or that you don’t think you're good enough. It can cloud your perspective on things and fail to see their potential. Some of the best inventions and discoveries were met with negative thinking. From the steamboat to the telephone to the computers we use today, all the inventors and discoverers of these great technologies once had to struggle against people who opposed their novelty and unfamiliarity. So now the question: what causes negative thinking and why is it so difficult to correct?
Born to be negative?
Negative thinking can be a deeply ingrained thought process in the mind but it is by no means natural. Negative thinking is learned, sometimes through personal experience or through other people's experiences. When babies are born, their minds are similar to a blank slate. Each experience they encounter becomes the platform for learning and if they learn negative thinking when young, they will retain this attitude even when they grow up.

CHAPTER I
WHAT IS PHYSICAL BEAUTY?
FEMININE physical beauty is recognized by all mankind. Yet it has no absolutely fixed stand-
ard. The savage sees as beauties contours and shapes which to us are hideous and distorted. Semi-civilized man is apt to regard fat and weight as the chief beauty factors. Even civilized man varies in his individual estimates. Those accepted charms of form, face and figure, however, which appealmost to the majority of individuals, may be said to be the nearest approach to an exact standard of beauty we have.
Proportion, color, delicacy, type, symmetry, the flash of the eye, the sweetness of the smile, and a thousand other factors contribute to make a woman beautiful. Every woman has her special individual beauties; some women possess a number in combi-nation. A lovely natural complexion, delicately-shaped hands, shapely feet and ankles, glorious hair, a noble and alluring figure, all lay a duty upon their possessors—the duty of care and preserva-tion. For beauty, physical as well as mental and mo.ral, is a virtue. It is as essential to humanity as loyalty and truth. It is, or should be, the truth of the physical feminine being, expressed in its most perfect terms.

What is Gambling Addiction?
Addiction is defined as a state or habit that is psychologically or physically habit forming. Some of which are good but most of these are bad. Aside from drinking, drugs, smoking and sex, there is another one that affects us and this is known as gambling addiction.
But what is gambling addiction? Simply put, it is the inability of a person to resist gambling that leads to both personal and social consequences. As early as 1980, this was already considered to be a disease by the American Psychiatric Association that was pioneered by Dr. Robert L. Custer.
Two places in the United States that you will see a lot of people that have this problem are in Atlantic City and Las Vegas.
After, all, these are the gambling capitals of this country that rival those in Macau and in Monte Carlo.

Are You Afraid?
You may not recognize it as such. In fact, you may even deny you ever experience it.
But if you get a feeling of anxiety and apprehension when an object or a situation comes up, then you are demonstrating fear.
Fear is an emotion that arises from a perception that something is harmful. It is a self-preservation “device” wired into our brain. This is why we feel nervousness, panic and exhilaration coming in a sudden rush in moments of fear.
Physiologically speaking, that rush is caused by the body producing and releasing hormones such as adrenaline. Adrenaline as you may already know is an “emergency” feature our body uses to make us do things we may not be able to do under normal circumstances. Fear is a very strong trigger for adrenaline. And as its purposes are mainly for self-preservation, it is only rightly so.

SIGNS OF DEPRESSION
Everyone goes through rough times where we feel sad or down in the dumps. Actually, it’s pretty normal to feel that way on occasion.
Crying can be cathartic and beneficial, allowing us to release all the negative stuff that is causing us to feel bad.
However, when depression seems to be going nonstop and the patient just can’t snap out of it no matter how hard he or she tries, then that probably signifies depression.
Depression is one of the most common mental illnesses in America. It has been reported that about 9.5 million Americans suffer from depression almost every six months. You should remember that depression does not choose a victim as it could practically affect anyone whatever social status or race.
It is important that we know the signs of depression so that we can deal with it and have it alleviated.
If the following signs have been going on for more than two weeks, then you should seek professional help.
