Every second, blood travels around our body through a series of pipes called arteries or veins. Blood carries oxygen and other vital chemicals around the body to all the organs and simultaneously collects waste and other toxins for eventual treatment and disposal. So, if one of our arteries/veins becomes blocked, causing a stoppage in the blood flow, our organs stop working and we collapse.
For a healthy heart, follow these simple steps.
First, to find out where you stand, I suggest you visit your local health clinic for a cholesterol test. This is a quick test (usually done by a nurse) to check the level of fat in your blood, and you should have it done at least once every two years.
Next, If this post has shown you that your lifestyle needs changing, then change it! Don't just ignore the situation and hope it will go away: it won't! So quit smoking, get down to a normal weight, start exercising regularly; don't take life too seriously and start eating properly.
Next, before you start a Healthy- Heart Diet, get organised! For example, in order to eat more fruit and less fat, I strongly advise you to invest in a juicer to make your own fruit juice, and a good non-stick frying pan to help you fry without fat.
And make a list of good foods to keep in the house. Remember: the worst mistake you can make is to run out of good things to eat!

PSYCHOLOGICAL CHANGES OF AEGING
Frustration, depression, fear, anxiety, insecurity, loneliness, vacuum, dejection, self pity, sadness are some of the hallmarks of old age. This is because
1. With aging there is increasing restriction on the kind of accustomed enjoyments (e.g. sexual); and this can lead to frustration or depression.
2. The realization of the increased chances of death; (due to observation of the deaths of the contemporaries); causes alarm, concern, anxiety and excessive fear of death, diseases and debility.
3. Due to lack of job after retirement or physical inability there is always a sense of insecurity.
4. Lack of the children's company due to their being increasingly independent gives a feeling of unwantedness and loneliness, especially due to children going abroad or away from home for their jobs.
5. Since most of the people of younger age groups; have their own pre-occupations we the elderly are left out.
6. Due to generation gap; the ideas, choice, preferences and other areas of interests differ and hence the elderly are cut off from younger generation. This distance gradually increases with advancing age and leads to vacuum, dejection, self pity and sadness. Thus overall we tend to become increasingly melancholic in old age.
HOW TO DEVELOP POSITIVE ATTITUDE

For example, when you're faced with problem, you will tend to look for a solution instead of trying to find faults and blame others.It can also give you a better health as positive energy will lower your stress level.
STEPS
1. If you want to develop a positive attitude, start by becoming more aware of your mind patterns. Be an observer of your mind. When you become an observer, you're in control and you'll be able to notice what your mind says (both positive and negative). Therefore, when you notice your mind saying something negative, you can intercept it and replace it with positive thought.
2. Live Life NOW! Learn to live fully in your present moment. Don't cling on your past or wish you could have this or that. Appreciate what you already have NOW. Express gratitude for everything you have now. HERE and NOW are your life! Once you have accepted that, you can become more positive and appreciative of life. You will do and live your best in your present moment. Only then, you can move forward in life with positive attitude.
3. Associate more with positive people. I'm sure you have heard this saying: "Birds of the same feather flock together." If you flock together with negative people, you will become negative. On the other hand, if you associate yourself with more positive people, they can also influence your characters and attitude. You will become more positive as well.
4. Learn to give compliment to others. You don't need to do this excessively. Just do it in a natural way by focusing on the positive side of other people. A few kind words spoken to another person can really make his or her day. Doing so will make you more likable as well.
5. SMILE and say THANK YOU more. Wherever you are and whatever you do, look for opportunity to offer sincere appreciation to your friends, family members, peers, team members, bosses or any other people you interact with everyday. Smiling and saying thank you more often not only can make you feel good but also cause those around you to become more positive. Develop your positive attitude daily and make it become second nature to you. This will give you more happiness in life.
