Studies show you become what you think/ 24 Hour Caregivers in Beverly Hills

What were your attitudes towards aging throughout your life? Believe it or not, such things have a great impact on your present life. Psychologists call these attitudes "age stereotypes" and they can have great impacts on senior health. 

According to the New York Times, the self fulfilling prophecy is true...at least when it comes to old age. Seniors who thought poorly of aging in their lifetimes- with associations such as loneliness, becoming useless, or devalued, were less likely to provide self care and died earlier. They were also more likely to suffer from memory loss disorders, such as Alzheimer. 

In essence, aging gracefully is about mind over matter.

Amino Acids for After Surgery Recovery Tips/ Home Care in Beverly Hills

Recovering after surgery is not just about getting adequate rest or taking care of a wound; a healthy diet is essential for post-surgery healing. A diet rich in nutrients can help with recovery time, help you regain your strength and help boost your immune system. Sometimes it can be difficult to eat enough after surgery due to loss of appetite, but not getting enough nutrients can slow healing and delay the closure of incisions. There are some foods, however, you can try to optimize your healing process.

Certain amino acids seem to help wounds heal faster. The amino acid glutamine is particularly good for post surgery healing. A Harvard Medical School review of glutamine indicates that people who got the amino acid intravenously after surgery spent an average of four fewer days in the hospital. Glutamine also helps your immune system function and appears to be needed for normal brain function and digestion. Foods rich in amino acids are:

Fish, chicken, eggs, brown rice, walnuts, raw spinach, almonds and sunflower seeds. Amino acid-rich foods also tend to be good sources of protein, which is essential for healing after surgery.
