Today’s blog is dedicated to companies and software that provides fun was to learn about health. One such company is Keas.com. They have a variety of ways to share info and I recommend that companies check them out. Here is an example.
– Currents are usually narrow, and there are a couple things you can do to swim out of them. But first and foremost, remain calm. You don’t want to expend any extra energy. First try to swim parallel to the shore and see if you can sneak out of the current. If you find you’ve been paddling for a very long time, and don’t seem to be going anywhere, attempt to swim with the current, which will eventually weaken, and you should be able to swim out of it.
– Dehydration: Fatigue comes right on the heels of dehydration. A glass of water may be just the thing you need, to get through the rest of your day.

– Sleep is powerful! While we sleep, our brain processes what occurred during the day and creates memories. Researchers say that sleeping is what help makes a memory “stick” so that we can recall it in the future.
– High blood pressure damages blood vessels that supply blood to the brain causing memory loss while low blood pressure can help keep an individual’s memory sharp.
– There are many psychological and physical conditions that can cause memory problems in addition to aging. These include stress, poor nutrition, anxiety, and substance abuse.
– While forgetting someone’s name and where you put your keys are symptoms of mild memory loss, getting lost in a place you know well could be an indication of a serious health concern such as Alzheimer’s disease. If you notice that you are forgetting routine activities that you have done before, speak to a neurologist to get your concerns addressed. Being pro-active and acknowledging your forgetfulness is always key.
