Autumn

The Autumn is like a lady over "certain age" that was pretty like a young spring; joyful like a sunny summer and now enjoys what she has, waiting for the peaceful winter.

Useful websites for product safety and recall

Before buying new things many of us look for online reviews or ask friends about the certain product. The problem is that often we miss, a quite valuable info about the product safety and eventual recall.

Here are few places where you can get informed about the recent safety problems with many common items.  That info can be found in your local safety agency website, but in terms that many of the products are selling globally on amazon and ebay and sometimes not all safety criteria and updates are same, is good to look for information at few more sources.

MedlinePlus: Trusted Health Information for You

Not everything on internet is true, that's true! Especially regarding human health: there's so much info written by people with no medical or biological education and experience. That leads to misinformation and often wrong decisions.  We like to ask other people on social media, forums and etc., and  sometimes  untruth would become truth, just because someone didn't check the original source of information.

This is a real problem and has very simple solution: 

"for medical questions ask your doctor, not "doctor" google!

Well, we all heard that many many times,  but sometimes we just want to find something extra, some more info that our doctor didn't have time to tell us about. In that case, check here: MedlinePlus: Trusted Health Information for You . 

It is supported by the National Institutes of Health. The largest bio-medical institute in the world so that's reliable enough.

Good source for reliable medical info are the government health care websites as well, because are written by doctors and scientists. 

That video will make your day!!!

Kindness is the most important

Are You Mindful? Tell the World - http://www.mindful.org

I am mindful. What about you?

"Mindfulness is available to us because we already have the capacity to be present, and it doesn’t require us to change who we are. It takes many shapes and goes by many names: attention, awareness, empathy, compassion, being in the zone, situational awareness, presence, flow, contemplation, and many more."

A documentary that everyone must see

The way we use our home - the planet Earth and her other inhabitants now, is not leading to anything good. The documentary Earthlings shows one of the reasons why. It's not easy to watch, but the truth often is bitter.
