The job of 'chronic' inflammation is to cause tissue damage or even to the kill tissue.  This is why you must address inflammation at the onset.  Inflammation is the bodies 'natural response' to heal, not kill.  As with everything, too much of a Good thing, <i>isn't.</i>  After exercise, one tool for accelerated recovery is to use cold water therapy after your workout to help clear inflammatory biological (cellular) markers.

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.

Below you will see 7 simple activities to accomplish at some point during the day all under the motivation of the the daily mentation question below. You have 24 hours to get through this question along with the 7 activities. READY? SET? GO!

Activities of Daily Living - Mentation Question

How disciplined am I to do what I feel called to do?

Activities of Daily Living - Hygiene and Grooming

Avoid sweaty feet! Your feet have about 250,000 sweat glands in each foot that excrete about a half pint of moisture everyday, which is the perfect breeding ground for bacteria. Wear socks to keep your feet dry and healthy. Here is a great link to the perfect sock for you.

Activities of Daily Living - Physical Movement

Ab squeezes: Breathe in, then hold in and tighten your stomach muscles. It should feel like your belly button is touching your back. Squeeze at least 30 times and rest. I like this a lot better than crunches and I can do them while I'm typing this to you. Practice this every day and you should feel and see results soon.

Activities of Daily Living - Housework and Cleaning

Rubber bands and zip ties (cable ties) are a must when it comes to household organization. They also keep your cables and cords together and organized. Surge protectors are also a household must. Read more about surge protectors here!

Activities of Daily Living - Financial Management

When you go out to lunch or dinner with others, do not volunteer to put the entire bill on your card and everyone just pay you cash. This is how credit card bills get run up due to ego. This is also how one person gets stuck with the tax and tip. Most restaurants will allow everyone to throw their card on the table to pay their own bill.

Activities of Daily Living - Work and Productivity

Carry your cords in your car, back pack or tote. I travel a lot, so my office on wheels (wheeled briefcase) always has a surge protector, extension cord and extra set of phone cords for both my phones. These cords never leave my wheeled office. If I'm stuck in an airport, my surge protector which can handle multiple devices will insure me a space in the wall outlet because I can share it with others. If the outlet is being used, someone will always unplug so I can plug in the surge protector and now 6 people can use it. Incidentally, a surge protector and power strip 'are not' the same thing although they can look the same.

Activities of Daily Living - Food Preparation

Soups can be about the most inexpensive meals you can make. Search for a few soup recipes that you can make in your slow cooker, then freeze in single serving containers. I make a lot of soup on a regular basis such as - cabbage soup, chicken soup, vegetable soup, beef stew, split pea soup, bean soup, etc. Soups are no brainers and a lot of times very low in calories if you can stay away from the creamy recipes.
