LEGAL IMMIGRATION

Submitted by Admin on

Lately, we've seen first hand how immigration is and will continue to be a hot button issue.

Countries don't usually lose their richest citizens to USA. Most aren't elite when they arrive in this great nation. In my family's case, we lost everything in CUBA; That’s why arrived here legally to re-build and start a new life.

Despite the Greek economic storm, the sun is still shining on the tavernas, beaches, ancient sites and the vineyards are still open for business.

The country of Greece needs the whole world's help. Tourists should go and get a fistful of euros and visit with their friends and have a good time with the help of some of the the best deals, hotels, food and wine one could ever find.

Holy cow, this almost appears to be a whopper of a story, but a Bolivian Burger King has played host to The Pope. And after all is said and done, Pope Francis had it his way. CITY IMAGES wonders is His Holiness is a vegetarian, but being that he hails from Argentina, it's not likely.

LOWER STRESS & BLOOD PRESSURE

Submitted by Admin on

When it comes to preventing and treating high blood pressure, one often-overlooked strategy is managing stress. If you often find yourself tense and on-edge, try these strategies to reduce stress.

Get enough sleep. Inadequate or poor-quality sleep can negatively affect your mood, mental alertness, energy level, and physical health.

Learn relaxation techniques. Meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, deep breathing exercises, and yoga are powerful stress-busters.

Strengthen your social network. Connect with others by taking a class, joining an organization, or participating in a support group.

Hone your time-management skills. The more efficiently you can juggle work and family demands, the lower your stress level.

Try to resolve stressful situations if you can. Don't let stressful situations fester. Hold family problem-solving sessions and use negotiation skills at home and at work.

Nurture yourself. Treat yourself to a massage. Truly savor an experience: for example, eat slowly and really focus on the taste and sensations of each bite. Take a walk or a nap, or listen to your favorite music.

Ask for help. Don't be afraid to ask for help from your spouse, friends, and neighbors. If stress and anxiety persist, ask your doctor whether anti-anxiety medications could be helpful.
