Physically, emotionally, mentally, socially and holistically speaking. Traditionally or conventionally, a nanny or household specialty servant was there, reporting directly to the one in charge of the house. Their main responsibility the child/children in the home, including education, social customs, entertainment, manners and such. Mostly these roles were proudly held by females in the past, who are still in the majority in the profession. A champion and custodian of children in many eyes and households. With parents increasingly working outside of the home, this is a rising trend, even for working moms and dads who want to have it all, both career and family! The term is inspired by the root-meaning of the word, grabbing back to nana, grandmother etc. who used to take care of the children in ‘old world’ contexts. A nanny by modern definition, is for all intent and purposes,   a formally trained individual, female, rearing and supervising, looking after affluent individuals, executives, world-travelers, celebrities and such’ children , even doing some domestic tasks too (not always), also referred to an au pair sometimes, (but the difference being they are mostly untrained (again not always), and from a foreign country). Lines between these categories have been graying in recent decades. You will need perseverance, insight, clarity, your wits, instinct and a good handle on the fundamentals of what a nanny is, what to look for, what to ask and determining suitability, education and more, in order to make the best selection for your household, kids and family.

You might be thinking to yourself, where in the world, did this outlandish title for an e-book really  come from, cuddle fats – give me a break! Love handles are a striking reality for the majority of us and we are surprised that some might actually even give expression to how they find them ‘attractive’ in/on others. Maybe it allows them to look in the mirror at their own love-rolls and pot-holder type sides and feel better about themselves and the way they look (even if they are really deep down quite disgusted with it/them and wanting to secretly do ANYTHING to get rid of them for good!). NOT A BAD IDEA – as you will see throughout the musings and reflections in this book. We all know these rolls we sport on the sides of our bodies are obviously, undeniably, less than flattering and no cosmetic liposuction extreme surgical intervention, extreme diet and exercise quick-fix formula or silver bullet solutions exist OR the inventor of same would be a self-proclaimed self-mad rich man right now! Alas, no such remedy and secret exists (just yet!). When it comes to what we refer to as these waist, mid-rift excess fat deposits, rolls and areas, it encapsulates and include all (actually genetic or hereditary) fat accumulation on the sides of our bodies in the waist area. Surprisingly the statistics shows that although it is common in both genders, men are more prone to it than women. But what exactly are they? The nature, character, impact, risk, dangers and implications of cuddle-fats, waist skin and fat excess, fat rolls, mid-rift love handles. "Love handles" as they are also called commonly, in mainstream media and by industry insiders,  can be defined for the purposes of this musing, as a substantial build-up or excess layer of fat deposited around the body’s midsection noticeably visible on the sides Resembling handles Some argue that they are attractive and helpful when it comes to ‘love’  (although most people we spoke to who had them, wanted to get rid of them, were self-conscious, or did not want to admit that it is a problem, those who did not have them, saw them as unattractive – so it remains uncldear as to the real connection between these handles and love-making! The jury is still out on this one! “Love handles”  (or LH as we will refer to them in the text from this point forward),  is a term  that deals then with what you feel you embrace or cuddle with around the waist when holding someone else, or at the very least what you can grow hold of, on both sides of someone’s body, in the lower torso area that can provide some grip or love handle, literally.

HOW AND WHAT IS STRESS? WHAT TO DO ABOUT IT? WHAT OTHERS DO/HAVE DONE? WHAT WORKS? If you are interested in the world of physics, you will probably have a totally different view of what stress is. To illustrate: mostly when the term is used in these disciplines, it refers to the force(s), that produce any kind of tension, strain on a physical body, where the stress can be accurately measured and expressed in units of force divided by units of area! If only, this simplistic formula(s) and calculations, expressions and values,  could explain in full, help do away with, cope better and tell us what to do in order to handle the impact and effects of our stress, tension, strain (emotionally, cognitively, mentally, physically, biologically, holistically!) … If only… we could cope with STRESS better! We would be well ahead further than ever assuredly, in coping with it effectively, once and for all, for good. Yet, it remains ever elusive and mysterious. Most of us merely accept that stress is part of life and that we just need to toughen up. Others are oblivious to its effects and realities, even in denial, depressed without knowing why, ignorant to what is causing their underlying stress and not even aware that both internal, external, positive, negative stress can/do impact them, their lives, others, relationships, environment, health, wellbeing, all aspects and areas of their lives. Here is an illustrative definition for this ‘troubling’ concept from our modern lives (wider than the aforementioned physics definition!): (** NOTE: see reference section for full citation for quotes, sources to shed some more light on the topic, suggested readings, online links and other helpful texts, materials, guides) (stress) (stres) 1. forcibly exerted influence; pressure.      2. force per unit area, which may cause strain (qv) on an object. 3. in dentistry, the pressure of the upper teeth against the lower in mastication. 4. a state of physiological or psychological strain caused by adverse stimuli, physical, mental, or emotional, internal or external, that tend to disturb the functioning of an organism and which the organism naturally desires to avoid; These negative phrasing and choice of descriptors accurately captures what STRESS is really about. It deals with all those unwelcome things, objects, people, complications, events, effects that inevitably affect us (adversely/negatively), causing physiological OR psychological STRAIN, pressure, tension or stress, that leads to alteration in normal physical functioning, that gets the fight or flight instinct and response up and ready, keeping us on edge, annoyed, tense, disturbed, uneasy, ready to ‘bail’, so to speak, feeling overwhelmed, desperate, even depressed (in some cases).

When you think about blood sugar, glucose levels, diabetes, testing, machines, strips, not healing well, eating right, losing weight, there is much more to it than these first-glance, in passing type considerations and topics. When it comes to dealing and coping, even overcoming the challenges, risks and threats to health and wellbeing posed by an imbalance in blood sugar (too high, too low, too fluctuating), we need to take a closer, deeper and broader look all-round, if we are to address it properly. According to industry and insider specialists blood sugar is about so much more than levels, energy and glucose measuring. It is about Able To Properly And Efficiently Metabolize Food Blood Sugar (Bs) Levels Can Also Influence Moods And Emotions Blood Sugar Is Defined As The Amount Or Levels, Presence And Functioning Of Glucose In The Bloodstream. Breaking Down Sugar Into Usable Energy Feeling Great For Normal Functioning Of The Body You Will Require The  Mineral Chromium In Order To Function. Having Lots Of Energy It Enables/Hinders Weight Control Our Bodies Are Able/Capable To Deal With, Process, Absorb And Discard Levels Of Sugar In The Blood There Is A Natural Hormone In The Body Which Controls Blood Sugar , Known As Insulin. These Processes Are Also Important To Overall Health Throughout The Day QUESTION # 2: But, why is glucose so important? It is a building block of our bodily system, required to function properly and optimally. It is the main sugar found in the blood The body's main source of energy Also called blood glucose or blood sugar. Blood sugar concentration is an important factor in diabetes. Here is the process and reasoning, rationale and logic, behind why blood sugar and related processes are and can be critically important: Sugar in the form of glucose is present in the blood Typically within the range of normality at 60 to 100 milligrams/ 100 milliliters of blood. Blood sugar typically rises after a meal to as much as 150 milligrams/l00 milliliters of blood (it will vary from person to person) Carbohydrates are digested, producing sugar This in turn circulates in the blood Our bodies use it as fuel and energy Absorption of the sugar into the cells is regulated by the hormone insulin (made in the pancreas) Insulin is then released when blood-sugar levels rise.

HPT, also called high blood pressure, is defined as a condition of elevated blood pressure that can lead to serious disease and illness like kidney disease, heart disease and stroke, pre-eclampsia, pregnancy-induced hypertension. Put differently hypertension or high blood pressure is a chronic, illness, where BP (blood pressure exerted) on the walls of the arteries are abnormally high,  OR a consistent elevation of artery/arterial blood pressure (force or weight) is measured at rest. Blood pressure, bp for short, is seen as  a primary risk factor for coronary heart disease and stroke. When bp is taken at rest, values, readings of consistently greater than 140/90 is considered a hypertensive value. (these scales or normal, borderline, high has recently been revised. High blood pressure usually above 140 (systolic)/90 (diastolic upper systolic blood pressure over 140 mm of mercury pressures over 90 mm of mercury often define diastolic hypertension. consistent readings are better rather sporadic recordings or fluctuations without apparent or determinable prior organic changes in the tissues it exerts, demands and puts additional strain on the heart by increasing its need for oxygen. Blood pressure above the normal range is known as problematic HPT. The medical guidelines are summarized in the  ESH/ESC Hypertension Guidelines and the National Heart Lung and Blood Institute, high blood pressure is > 140/90 range. HPT – HYPERTENSION, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE causes can include: genetics,  hereditary tendency emotional tensions, stress faulty nutrition hormonal influence; demonstrable organic changes and underlying medical conditions  (as in nephritis, diabetes, and hyperthyroidism) Blood pressure that is consistently (more than 6 months) above 140/90.  may have no known cause (essential or idiopathic hypertension) or be associated with other primary diseases (secondary hypertension). may be primary or secondary (associated with another disease) So, when it comes to pinpointing types of disease, there can be complications, sudden onset, development over time, many causes and lots to do to treat it effectively. This guide will attempt to take you through diagnosis, prognosis, treatment, living, coping and overcoming high blood pressure more effectively, successfully and for good.

YOU CAN HAVE THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE AND QUALITY OF LIVING FOR THE BETTER DESPITE ARTHRITIS DIAGNOSIS, PROGNOSIS and TREATMENTS. WHAT ARTHRITIS IS EXACTLY? Taking A Closer Look At Arthritis, What It Is And What To Effectively Do About It If you are looking for definitions about what arthritis is, before we start this discussion, here are some insights and an eclectic summary of some of the more mainstream definitions of what this entails: (See it as the A through Z of arthritic pain) Also known as arthritides, occurring in the joints across the body and part of aging specifically known more commonly as osteoarthritis. AR is very common in places like the  knee, elbow, and shoulder (can also occur elsewhere in the human body). Arthritis causes inflammation and pain in the joints that can be extremely painful to live with Arthritis has to do with the condition and status, working, functioning or lack of the human joints throughout the body. Dealing with all joint disorders, injury, damage or degradation Developing AR arthritis, is a gradual process. Irritation, inflammation, swelling of joints are common, leading to loss of mobility, stillness, pain and even changes internally to the joint, including degradation. It can also affect muscles, tendons, and ligaments, as well as the protective covering of internal organs. It can also be an increase in the amount of synovial fluid in the joint, bones and adjacent cartilage It is an illness, sickness,  debilitating disease Makes weight-bearing joints weak, unreliable, stiff and painful. Most medical research and thought now suspects that there is an  auto-immune component to the illness and that this is the secret to understanding it better. Most sufferers experience intense, severe, recurring, or chronic pain and difficulty moving. Other manifestations of this problem and medical condition are rheumatoid and psoriatic arthritis. The disease itself is almost disabling and sufferers have it as a lifelong companion (even when in remission) There are many different types and forms of arthritis and related conditions There are several theories on causality and it is by no means or stretch of the imagination seen as SIMPLISTIC. Discoloration, trouble moving, rheumatic-type disease. These conditions affect the health of the bone joints in the body. This umbrella term/concept is oftentimes used as an over-arching categorization and classification for as many as one hundred different diseases that affect the joints in the human. Typical symptoms of/for arthritis sufferers include pain, heat, swelling, and/or redness of the joint. So, there are many unfortunate souls and AR sufferers that will attest to the fact that this pain and disease you will not wish upon anyone, including yourself and even your worst enemy! It is hard to deal and cope with and a practical guide with some implementation suggestions, tips, tactics and techniques is long overdue.

This guide may just be what you need to have fun sprucing up your home, and success selling it fast and for top dollars.  Anything you do cosmetically to enhance curb appeal will increase the resale value of your house. A little extra work may mean a difference in how smoothly the sale goes, how much can be asked for your home and how long it will stay on the market. Many homebuyers stretch economically to get into a home, and what you do to make the property more attractive with less work and cost for them, may work favorably to convince them that yours is a more lucrative prospect than the house across the street. If a house obviously needs repair or maintenance, a buyer may decide to look for something that is in better condition. The good news is that many improvements that have an impact on selling a home aren't very expensive at all, such as giving rooms a fresh coat of paint. You should be really careful if you consider taking on a major renovation project just so that you can sell your property.  Remember, there are no guarantees that you would recover the costs of a huge overhaul. Just focus on making the home attractive, clean, presentable and well maintained.  Let the new owners do their own customizations. Before you take on any fix-up-for-sale projects, remind yourself that you are sprucing up your home in order to sell it and your goal is to create an appealing look rather than to create the ultimate home.  Keep in mind as broad a spectrum of potential buyers as possible. Narrowing your target to a niche market may mean “slower and lower”. It is much safer to do projects that do not require all that much capital, but make a significant improvement to the overall look of your home. Consider different cosmetic  approaches for an overall improvement, e.g.  cleaning, painting, refinishing, and more. However, if you make smart decisions, certain improvements that greatly enhance the beauty of your home will certainly have a significant effect on its value. Such improvements should be done specifically to add value to your property. Visibility adds value. Be sure to spend your money on things that are highly visible and improve the appearance of the house, like landscaping, new flooring or paint, rather than on a foundation repair or insulating upgrading that is not visible.
