Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) is a real term used in healthcare that refers to daily basic self-care activities in an individual's residence, outdoor environment or both. The ability or inability that an individual performs their ADLs is a measure of the functional status of the individual, particularly the injured, those with disabilities and the elderly. Very young children require assistance from adults to perform ADLs since they have not yet developed the skills necessary to perform ADLs on their own.
Basic ADLs (bADLs) are the things we normally do such as bathing, dressing, feeding ourselves, functional mobility, personal hygiene and grooming. Instrumental ADLs (iADLs) are things such as housework, money management, preparing meals, shopping and work.
Sometimes it is necessary to review the rules of kindergarten to remember how to be nice to others and use Good manners. And sometimes we just need to go back to the basics of the 'Activities of Daily Living' in order to take better care of ourselves and start living Life rightly.

How equal do I believe equality should be?

Signs are what a doctor sees, symptoms are what you experience. No one just wakes up and has a cold or the flu. The virus began small and replicated big enough that it became noticeable through symptoms. At the first inkcling of a symptom, which is called 'the prodrome' that is when you should act on it. Check out the 'Signs and Symptoms' page.

Moving the body plays a key role in cleansing our bodies of garbage and scraps. Exercise should not be used only when there is a problem with weight or to just build muscle mass. Exercise should also be used to clear the mind, gain clarity, awareness and understanding. Instead of thinking the word "exercise", think the word "move".

Tang your toilet. Dropping a teaspoon of Tang Drink Mix will help scrub your toilet. The citric acid in the mix acts like a cleanser. And if your pet likes to sip from the toilet, it should not be a problem.

Coupon clipping, reward programs and memberships can certainly save you money but they can also cost you money if you are spending more simply because you are using them where you did not before. Just be aware that sometimes these things can cost you money instead of save you money.

Make certain you are well aware of the type of people that bring you down. I avoid complainers, gossipers and angry people like the plague. I recognize that one's negativity can affect my spirit, so I have no problem walking away or simply saying, "I will not participate in this conversation." So remember, you do not have to participate and you can take your energy elsewhere.

Yesterday I touched on 'pink and puffy' (inflammation). The traditional names for the classic signs of inflammation come from Latin: Dolor (pain), Calor (heat), Rubor (redness), Tumor (swelling) and Functio laesa (loss of function. Loss of function is not always present but can be. The first 4 signs are always present in inflammation. If you are pink and puffy (inflamed), then you can bet the ranch that there is a problem (inflammation) inside of the body. You must be able to identify the FOODS THAT MAKE YOU PINK AND PUFFY.
