Becoming a caregiver is increasingly an inevitable experience for many people and, therefore, a likely life transition. Drawing on research and personal experiences of working with family caregivers, this book examines a range of family caregiving situations from across the life course. It seeks to capture the dynamics of caregiving in a number of common situations: caregiving during infancy, for adults who acquire a disability through accidents or illness, for older people with age-related issues, and caregiving by children and adolescent carers and grandparent carers. In drawing attention to key moments of vulnerability faced by family and informal caregivers, and by suggesting how to assist 'reconnection' at these moments, the book provides a guide for those working in the area of health, disability and care. Informal care is conceptualised as occurring with the context of personal interrelationships, these being nested within wider kin networks and linked with wider professional formal care networks. Informal care is seen both as an expression of social capital and as an activity that builds social capital. It is an indicator of resources of mutual support within social networks, and it has the effect of adding to the stock of social resources. The book makes a case, therefore, for facilitating the development of social capital by strengthening the capacity of informal caregivers and caregiver groups, and by improving the linkages with formal care organisations.

This book investigates the experiences of older people who remain at home with care. It examines the transition points for the important life changes faced by family members who take on a greater care-giving role. The book draws on demographic analyses and qualitative fieldwork to explore the shift from independence to increasing dependence, and suggests that this transition constitutes movement into a new stage of life, that of an Age of Supported Independence. Applying the anthropological concept of rites of passage in their analysis, the authors focus on the changes in everyday living within the spatial environment of the home, the temporal organization of daily life, and the reshaping of relationships. They suggest that many older people - as well as the family members who become carers - remain in a state of 'liminality': unable to make sense of their new situation and experience and, despite assumptions that ageing-in-place sustains social connectedness, excluded from their communities.

The Number One Killer of Teenagers in America is a Traffic Crash
Even though we have had driver education for over three generations, that statistic remains unchanged. But, it doesn't have to be that way.
In this book, Patrick Barrett traces the history of driver education's failure to produce safer drivers. He identifies it causes for failure and provides a real answer for how we can reduce collisions by 50%.
While technology has improved vehicle design and made the roads safer, driver education has not advanced. It continues to use the same outdated formula adopted in 1949 of five hours of classroom instruction for every one hour of in-vehicle training.
The so-called stakeholders in driver education have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. As long as the current standards and same agencies continue to rule driver education, you can expect driver education to continue to fail.
Mr. Barrett shows how the lack of accountability and the use of a time-based standards and a public school format that emphasizes classroom over in-vehicle training creates a system in which new drivers know just enough to be dangerous.
Included in this book are the "7 Deadly Mistakes Parents Make When Choosing Driver Education for their Teen" and how parents can avoid these tragic mistakes.
In addition, this book contains resources, options for a mastery-based approach, and opportunities for individuals and organizations who want to make a difference in producing safer drivers.

Have you been looking for a short, simple exercise routine that you can work into your busy schedule? Do you wish you could enjoy the benefits of regular exercise without rearranging your day around a trip to the gym, and without being forced to skip your workouts because you were just too busy to get it done with work, school, family, and who knows what else?
If so, "Easy Exercises" may be the answer you're looking for. You'll learn a simple, short, stripped-down routine that you can do on a daily basis. You can stick with the core program indefinitely and reap the rewards of daily physical activity, or you can add in some challenging options for better, faster results while still keeping your workouts short and convenient.
Can you set aside 3 or 4 minutes each day to exercise? Of course you can, and that means you've got all the time you need to incorporate this simple exercise routine into your life.
People like to talk about the "secret" to staying in shape. Well, here it is, free of charge: the secret to staying in shape is not finding the exact, precise exercise or diet that will perform some kind of voodoo and deliver sudden, amazing results. The secret is finding a healthy plan that you can stick to. It can be running, or lifting weights, or bodyweight exercise, or yoga, or dance classes, or a recreational sports league.
It can be anything, as long as it means you're being physically active on a regular basis, and as long as you stick to it. You may not see a dramatic transformation in a month, or even in two or three months, but as time passes and you keep it up you will see a big change. You will become one of "those people" who is just in great shape.
That's what's so great about the exercise routine you'll learn in this book. It is so simple, so basic that anyone can stick to it. You don't need any special equipment (though there is a variation that uses weights, if you prefer that).
But even though it's simple, it's still a full-body routine that's challenging enough to make you stronger, leaner, and healthier if you keep it up.
Regular exercise is absolutely crucial to weight-loss and muscle growth. But nowadays it's more important than ever, because modern conveniences allow you to be more sedentary than ever before. Even beyond losing weight and building muscle, exercise and physical activity promote the deep breathing and circulation you need to clean your blood, cells, and organs, and to provide them with the fresh oxygen they need to do their jobs effectively and keep you healthy.
Daily physical activity is essential for anyone who hopes to live a long, healthy life--and it's key to promoting your quality of life, too. Easy Exercises will teach you the simple workout program you've been looking for that fits easily into your busy schedule. Pick up a physical or digital copy, and you could be doing you first workout in a few short days, or even as soon as a few hours from now.

The one arm pull up is, to put it simply, impressive. It represents an unusual kind of strength that seems to go beyond what a normal human can accomplish, and crosses into something animal.

It's a goal that many people have, but few spend any real time on it because it's hard to know where to start. That difficulty stems from two main reasons:

1) Not many people know how to train for a one arm pull up or chin up, so there aren't a lot of resources out there to help someone who wants to learn the correct exercises.

2) The one arm pull up (and one arm pull up training) requires you to put a lot more strain on your joints and muscles than you would during normal exercise-in other words, if you don't know what you're doing, you can really hurt yourself.

The trial-and-error approach to one arm pull up and chin up training can take a long time, and-if you hurt yourself-it can leave you worse off than you were when you started. This book is designed to be the practical resource you need to help you achieve your goal in a way that maximizes your results, and minimizes headaches.

How To Cook Healthy Recipes is a book designed for people who want to take advantage of the many health benefits of home-cooked meals, but who aren't comfortable enough in the kitchen to pull it off.
Many of us lead busy lives, and at the end of the day the temptation to save time by eating prepared foods can be overwhelming. Unfortunately, those prepared foods from restaurants as well as grocery stores are more than likely loaded down with undesirable food additives.
Remember that food additives?like artificial colors and flavorings, texture enhancers, and stabilizers?are put into foods not for "food" reasons, but for business reasons. They're designed to make food look more attractive, or last longer on the shelf. These are substances that your body isn't made to handle and doesn't know what to with, and the more you rely on food made by other people, the more likely it is that these undesirable substances are building up in your body on a daily basis.
The only way to break this cycle is to take the time to learn to cook meals in your own home. If you can get comfortable in the kitchen making delicious and healthy meals that don't take too long to prepare, you can get into the routine of eating more wholesome food on a regular basis, which means protecting your body from all of those industrial food additives that go along with prepared, pre-seasoned, and packaged foods.
How To Cook Healthy Recipes will teach you how to do just that. You'll get an introduction to the basics of the kitchen, including the following information:
--Tools you'll need to be able to work efficiently as well as safely --Techniques you'll use to make your meals --More than two dozen simple recipes (with tips on how to tweak them) --Tips on experimenting with new spices and flavors --How to make your own stock (and what kind to buy if you don't want to make it) --Which additives and ingredients to avoid when cooking --How to change any recipe to minimize your food additive intake
If you're committed to being as healthy as possible, you need to learn to cook your own meals. This book will teach you all the basics you need to prepare healthy, wholesome, natural meals in your own kitchen on a daily basis.
Even if you've never cooked in your life, there's no reason to be intimidated?just pick up a physical or digital copy and get started today.

The current landscape of health and nutrition literature is a maze of conflicting advice, contradicting ideas, and flawed premises. "The Natural Diet" is an attempt to cut through all of that as helpfully and succinctly as possible, with an emphasis on what you need to know to be as healthy as you can for the rest of your life. Too often, people who make a good-faith effort to learn more about nutrition end up more confused than they were when they started. Have you ever had that feeling? A magazine, or book, or TV spokesman says "This list of foods is good for you, and this list is bad. Always do this, and never do that." Meanwhile, one person's list looks completely different from someone else's, and what 'everybody' is saying you should eat is different from what 'everybody' said you should eat ten years ago, which is completely different from what was 'in' another ten years before that. On an intuitive level, these diet fads just don't make sense. Some people say milk and dairy are bad for us. How can milk be bad, if we're mammals, and milk is sufficiently nutritious to feed us through the period of our lives when good nutrition is most critical? Other authorities will insist that the only way to be healthy is to eat a more or less flavorless diet. How can a 'healthy' diet be so unpleasant to the senses-in other words, why would our noses and tongues make 'unhealthy' food seem appealing, and 'healthy' food bland and undesirable? Does it really make sense that your body is built to lead you to the wrong foods? Still others will tell you that you must take some supplement or eat some invented superfood for optimal health. How can our bodies 'require' a certain food product that has only been created in recent history? Were human beings never healthy until its invention, and did the human body somehow evolve to require a product that didn't even exist yet? So many of the most common ideas in nutrition just don't hold up if you spend a few minutes thinking about them. Couple this with the fact that there are cultures all around the world who spend practically no time thinking about being fat or thin and enjoy longer lives and better health than most in the developed West do, and it becomes clear that we're missing something important on an intuitive level. "The Natural Diet" seeks to end this confusion once and for all-it's a two-hour read that will change the way you understand food and nutrition forever.

Bodyweight exercise is probably the most under-appreciated tool out there for losing weight, building muscle, and staying healthy. Every day, millions of people waste time and money on expensive gym memberships and home workout equipment when there is an easier, more practical solution right under their noses.
Don't get me wrong-I'm not saying that you can't get great results from working out at a gym, or from exercising on in-home workout equipment. If you can stick with that kind of program, and you've got the money, the time, and the room, you can do very well. I'm simply saying that for many people, these solutions are impractical, and they end up paying monthly for memberships at fitness centers they don't go to, or paying for weights and equipment that end up collecting dust in storage somewhere.
Meanwhile, a tiny fraction of that same investment-if spent learning about bodyweight exercise-could give vastly better results.
Many people think that bodyweight exercise is just not challenging enough to give you a good workout-they see it as more of a warm up than anything else. Well, there certainly are easy bodyweight exercises that can be used to warm up. There are also exercises, like muscle ups and one leg squats, that many weight-lifters and other athletes cannot even perform for a single repetition.
Don't underestimate the value of this type of training program. Once you know what the more advanced bodyweight exercises can do for you, you'll have a workout routine that you can use conveniently for your entire life-whether you're at home or on the road, whether you've got two hours free to work out, or only 15 minutes.
This kind of convenience means that sticking to a schedule is easier and more practical than ever, because you don't have to make time for the gym commute--you only have to make time for the exercise itself.
Most people fail to appreciate, when it comes to getting fit (and staying that way), that anyone can build the "perfect" schedule or routine. You know what I'm talking about-the routine that's supposed to transform you into some kind of bodybuilder/super-hero crossed with an Olympic gymnast. Unfortunately, most people cannot plan their lives around such a routine, and if they try, they end up failing, and getting even more discouraged and out of shape.
What really counts is not making the perfect plan, but creating a solid plan that you will actually stick to. That's what's so great about bodyweight exercise-unlike so many other options, it's both effective AND practical.
If you're brand new to bodyweight exercise, or exercise in general, you may want to try my other book on the subject, Natural Exercise. It's geared more toward beginners. However, if you've already read that book, or you're just ready for more of a challenge, then Advanced Bodyweight Exercises is exactly what you need. You'll learn all the exercises (and variations) you need to build real strength to last a lifetime.
So pick up your physical or digital copy of Advanced Bodyweight Exercises, and start exercising right away for less than the cost of a single dumbbell, or one-day gym pass.

'Los Mejores Ejercicios Para El Abdomen' no es como cualquier otro libro de ejercicios abdominales. En efecto, la debilidad de muchos rutinas de ejercicios que se dirigen al centro es que muchos de estos ejercicios trabajan el estomago casi en forma aislada. Asi no funcionan el abdomen y la espalda baja en la vida real.
En una situacion de la vida real, los musculos del centro trabajan con otros grupos musculares mayores para proporcionar estabilidad y control para todo el cuerpo. Esto significa que en tus entrenamientos, es importante que el estomago y la espalda trabajen juntos con los otros grupos musculares para obtener resultados optimos.
Eso es lo que hace diferente a 'Los Mejores Ejercicios Para El Abdomen'. Los ejercicios que aprenderas en este libro involucran a los principales grupos de musculos en la parte superior o inferior del cuerpo (o ambos, dependiendo del ejercicio especifico) mientras trabajas el centro al mismo tiempo. El resultado es una rutina abdominal mas completa y eficaz que quema mas grasa, construye mas musculo, y realmente te hace mas fuerte.
Y recuerda un componente vital, un entrenamiento de centro debe comprender no solo el estomago, sino tambien la espalda baja. Este libro contiene todo lo que necesitas saber para trabajar y estirar la espalda baja, ademas de los abdominales, para maximizar la fuerza y minimizar el riesgo de lesiones y el dolor de espalda.
Vas a aprender una gran variedad de diferentes ejercicios, con descripciones detalladas e ilustraciones para garantizar la claridad y la buena forma. Estos ejercicios pueden desafiar a cualquiera, desde un mero principiante hasta a un atleta con experiencia.
Un buen entrenamiento del centro es absolutamente esencial. Si tu meta es verte mejor, mas fuerte, o simplemente estar mas saludable en general, los ejercicios abdominales deben tener prioridad.
Asi que recoge una copia fisica o digital de 'Los Mejores Ejercicios Para El Abdomen' hoy. Vas a aprender una rutina de ejercicios que podras seguir utilizando para el resto de la vida.
