The Difference Between "Talkers" and "Doers"

I have long made the distinction between "talkers" and "doers," recognizing that most of the world are talkers, interspersed with an elite few doers.

Why are there so many talkers and so few doers?  The answer is simple: it's easy to hide behind words and opinions instead of putting your ass on the line in the real world with the very real possibility of getting hurt.

Talkers are afraid of pain, ego-bruising, loss and setbacks and will do anything to avoid them -- including living a mediocre, safe life. And they attract mediocre women who are never truly happy with them.

What Risks Factors Wreck Joints In Men

4 Risks Factors That Wreck Joints In Men

They carry you through life and help you walk, lift, wave hello and sit in comfort. But for roughly one in three Americans, joint pain is a fact of life.

Joints are the connections between bones that permit movement. They're not unlike the suspension in your car, actually, being comprised of structures that absorb the impact of your movement. 

The structures, including cartilage, synovium and synovial fluid are essential to pain-free movement – so you can imagine what happens as they gradually wear down. While joints are durable, they're not invincible. Your weight-bearing joints in particular – that's the knees, hips and spine – are susceptible to damage and related joint pain with the following habits we'll discuss in a moment.

By the way, if you live with joint pain, consider a natural supplement with glucosamine and chondroitin. These are compounds that occur naturally in cartilage and you lose both with time. The two combined are proven to relieve joint pain and may even protect cartilage from further deterioration. As a starting point, try Joint Relief Solution.

Does Smoking Really Calm Your Stress Levels?

Grabbing a Cigarette to Calm Your Nerves?

You’ve probably heard the claim that if it’s been a stressful day, a cigarette will help calm the nerves. Well, several studies now prove that the only stress a cigarette can put at bay is the stress caused by not having one.

In fact, a study recently published in the August edition of the journal Addiction discovered that within a year of quitting smoking, ex-smokers experienced lower stress levels than they had when they were lighting up regularly.

In order to come to this conclusion, researchers involved in the study monitored a group of 469 people who had been hospitalized for heart disease. Those who quit smoking reported feeling less stressed a year later.

What's The Best Way To Reduce Scars?

Steps To Scar Reduction Therapy

There are two kinds of scars – those on your skin and the hit to the ego they sometimes cause. But it's the latter category that can do the most damage.

Truth be told, there are many forms of physical scarring, from keloid and hypertrophic to acne scars and contractures. Any wound, be it a surgical incision or a light scratch, can leave a scar. That's all the more reason to care for an injury before it turns into something you'd prefer to be without.

You can reduce a scar with proper wound care and natural remedies to encourage healing and exfoliation.

For existing scars, you can pursue a variety of treatments, including surgery, prescription ointments, or often more effectively with a natural-based topical scar reduction cream.
