The Fat Cell 5: Where Are the Fat Cells?
One fat cell binds to another which binds to another making a wide sheath of fat cells, also known as adipose tissue or WAT (white adipose tissue). WAT has many other important cells in it but the bulk of it is the adipocyte, the fat cell. Its location varies and with the variation in location comes variation in the fat.

Do You Feel Like Your Actual Age?
One aspect of reaching a certain age is noticing how you feel on any given day. For me, it can be all over the board. It’s somewhat amusing to wake up and wonder how your body is going to feel that day.

Sometimes “NO” is the kindest word
Steve jobs believed focusing is about saying no , sometimes no is the kindest word you heard . It is right saying no, it'is not just okay it is necessary . Well i have had a hard time saying no myself perhaps you do too. This problem is more common than we think especially for those who are empathetic and nurturing . We just hate the thought of hurting someone else's feelings . There are so many situations in your day-to-day lives when you're stuck with this thought just for an example if your roommate wants to borrow your car or your jacket and you're not okay with that it's your right to tell that person NO. It's your right to tell people no to the tasks you can easily outsource instead do the actions that don't match your vision the things that distract and destroy your time the things that aren't healthy for your mind and body, the things that aren't up to you or in your control. It also doesn't mean that the answer you said may always be no it just means at this point in time you are not okay with agreeing to this request this outline has to be clear but doesn't have to be combative aggressive or threatening it can be gentle subtle and firm . Setting boundaries is hard at first it makes us feel small selfish scared , it gets easier and the reward is extinguishing resentment .

Listening and hearing are not the same thing
Listening and hearing are not the same What we hear and what is said may be different. More and more commercial activities now rely on telephone conversations, the larger companies claim to record these conversations, but has any “customer” been able to hear a play back of a disputed conversation? The interpretation of what words actually mean coupled with what being said is not always the same as what is heard; make this reliance on telephone conversations unsafe for the consumers.

The ambiguity between boys and girls mostly starts with borrowing these three things
There must be many sleepless nights before a relationship is confirmed and made public. Some people say that the ambiguous period is precious, because the kind of careful expression, vague love adds a lot of romance to love. But there are also many people who think that the ambiguous period is an excuse.

How Do Digital and In-Person Interactions Affect Wellbeing?
With social media on the rise and with the worries about privacy starting to surge, it's important to remember that strong relationships benefit humans. There are many studies that show that when we're connecting with another person that we feel better than when we're alone. But some people argue that interactions that are primarily digital, such as those on social media, come less naturally than face-to-face interactions. Some studies have shown that the amount of time people spend on their phones can have negative consequences on mental health. There have been mixed findings from these studies and thus it is not clear whether people should be scrolling on their phone or spending more time outside.

Nine Miracles, Zero Zippers!
This is a true story about my battle with heart disease. I was very heavily exposed to Agent Orange during 1967–68, my year in Vietnam. My heart troubles started almost as soon as I left the service. The VA Cardiologists I have seen (too many to count) have mentioned my heart problems could be related to my family’s hereditary. Regardless of how it occurred, I have dealt with this condition for 50+ years. I believe that’s a miracle in and of itself.

The Importance of Emotional Frame Control
Life will throw an innumerable number of challenges at you. It will test you day in and day out and create obstacles and problems that you will have to solve. You will be challenged both mentally and physically to make it through while preserving your calm and your resiliency. When you think of what ‘frame’ is in the psychological sense, think about what makes up your personality. Are you cool under pressure? Are you able to maintain your calm when things are unraveling or getting out of hand? Can you persevere when faced with both known and unknown problems?
