MIND
"I am such a multi-tasker..."
Ah, actually no you are not. Did you know that it is physically impossible for the brain to multitask? Instead of your brain allowing you to function multiple tasks at a time, it is actually switching back and forth between different tasks.
FYI, it is better to do one task at a time. "Multi-tasking" increases your error rate, decreasing your rate of completing tasks and can cause a lot of stress to not only the brain, but also the body.

"Feel the rhythm of the beat!"
Did you know that your heart rate changes while you are listening to music? Studies show music and the heart have a complex connection to one another but one that is beneficial for reducing stress, chronic pain, and giving a new beat to your heart's rhythmic pulse, especially helpful for those who have heart conditions.
So turn it up a notch and find your beat!

" Stop fighting with your brother!"
Hey mom, it may be okay for a little tug of war here or there (as long as the fight is fair guys)! Our relationships with our parents often shape our sense of inner security while our relationships with our siblings often shape our perception of how we handle conflict and confrontational situations. These patterns of emotional responses transition into adulthood and even appear in how we handle conflict in marriage.
So, she may look like her mother but she can fight like her brother! Watch out!

DID YOU KNOW? :
The month of April reflects on Alcohol Awareness. Chronic Alcoholism is a serious condition cause by a high and routine consumption of alcohol . Alcohol effects your brain and body depending on the ways you drink such as how much you drink. When too much is consumed, it can take a toll on your health whether with one drink or multiple drinks over time and effect multiple systems of the body including the liver, creating various diseases such as Alcoholic Hepatitis.What is Alcoholic Hepatitis?
Alcoholic Hepatitis is an inflammation and mild scaring of the liver due to fat deposition in liver cells. The liver is the second largest organ in the body and is essential to the processing of food and drink into energy, as well as removal of harmful substances from your blood. When the liver is diseased with Hepatitis, liver enzymes are elevated.
What are the symptoms?
Symptoms for Alcoholic Hepatitis can include loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, fever and jaundice (yellowing of the skin).
How can it be treated?
Stop drinking! This is the best and most effective way to reverse the disease. See a doctor immediately if you are noticing symptoms. Alcoholic Hepatitis can be treated effectively depending on how soon you get it checked out . Behavioral Therapy such as Alcoholic Anonymous, counseling, or outpatient rehabilitation treatment centers are suggested. Medications treat for short term and are known to cause issues with kidney function as a result. Liver transplant surgeries can be done if the disease heightens the risk of death, however this surgery is highly contraindicated because of fear of those treated returning back to alcoholism after surgery. It is suggested if surgery is the last resort, that there be a therapy/rehabilitation plan in place to help the infected to be treated for the alcoholism disease itself while recovering from the liver transplant surgery.
Where can I find help or more information?
Treatment for alcohol use disorders (AUDs) can be found through a variety of sources. Check out your local Alcoholics Anonymous Support Groups, contact the National Drug and Alcohol Treatment Referral Routing Service hotline number 1-800-662-HELP (4357). More information can be found at the sources listed below.
