How would you like to know two of the most effective anti-aging secrets there are? How would you like it if you found out that not only could you afford them, but they were free? How would you like it if you found out that anybody could do it and they are available to everyone? You would?
Okay... they're not secret. They're well known facts but they are ignored by most everyone. They are the most effective tactics against anti-aging there is and they are free. Anyone can do this and it is available to everyone. Can you guess what the "secret" is? Keep reading...
Yep, if you guessed water and sleep, you're right. I would say you're the winner but if you're not taking advantage of these two most effective anti-aging tricks available, you're not a winner. I would say you are smart if you guessed water and sleep, but if you know this and still aren’t taking advantage of it... well...
So here's the lowdown.
Water
Everyone needs water. Your body is made up of 70% water. You breathe out about 2 1/2 cups of water every day. You lose a pint every night when you're sleeping. You lose two to four cups per day through perspiring - this is without exercising. You lose about another six cups by using the bathroom.
Enough facts? Have I convinced you that you need water?
So, you're wondering how much water you need - right? The standard recommendation is eight 8-ounce glasses per day. A better guideline is to drink half of your body weight in ounces. Say you weigh 140 pounds. You would need to drink approximately 70 ounces of water.
What will drinking this much water do? First, if you aren’t drinking this much water on a daily basis, you are probably dehydrated. So when you start drinking your water, you'll notice that your skin will begin to look clearer and you'll also notice that fine lines and wrinkles will smooth out - a big plus.
Drinking the right amount of water is also good for your entire system - not just your face. Once you start drinking the right amount, it will begin to flush out toxins, wastes, and pollutants - generally cleaning up your body. Your body will thank you!
Sleep
You need eight hours of sleep per night. Now, I can hear you snickering about this one. Let me guess. You're thinking, "Yeah, right. I would LOVE to get eight hours of sleep every night. Show me how to do that."
Well, everyone is busy. Trust me - it's not just you. So you have a choice to make. Sit down (in that spare time you have), and make a list of everything you do each week. Now, I want you to critically examine everything you do.
What did you do that was totally unnecessary?
What did you do that took longer than it should have because you didn't prepare and plan ahead of time?
What are you doing that family members can and should be helping you do? Laundry, loading and unloading the dishwasher, fixing their own lunches, vacuuming, dusting, etc.
What are you doing that other people can take over? (committee positions etc.)
Take time to think this out because it really is a matter of life and death. People that don’t get adequate sleep not only age early, they die early. They have heart attacks at an early age. Getting enough sleep is great for making you look younger, but... we're talking about some serious stuff here. Let's get our priorities straight.
So now you know. The two big secrets to anti-aging are... what? Yes, getting enough water and enough sleep. Very simple. You can do it.

Choosing a Pet Bird for Children
If you're thinking about getting a pet bird, you have many things to think about before you make your decision: expense, care, size, time needed, and species. If you have children and the bird will be their pet, this is one more consideration you need to add to your list. Different bird species have different personalities and some are better suited for children. Here are some birds that make the best pets for children:
Canaries
Ever heard the term, "Sing like a Canary"? There's a reason. These birds sing beautifully and will sing for you for hours. If listening to a bird sing for hours doesn't appeal to you, you may not need one of these birds. If you do like the singing, you may want to choose a male bird as they tend to sing better and more often than females.
Besides singing, Canaries are beautiful birds that are around five to eight inches tall. They come in "canary yellow" but can also be found in shades of red and orange.
If you choose a Canary, you will need a large cage. These birds need room to fly in their cage to exercise their wings. You also need to take into consideration that female Canaries can live for five to six years and males can live up to ten years.
Parakeets
Parakeets or Budgies are a very popular bird. They are also a social bird and you need to get more than one so they will have company. This will keep your bird healthy physically and emotionally. These birds also live ten to fifteen years so you may have this bird even after your child has grown and moved away from home. This is definitely something you need to consider.
Finches
Finches are another sociable bird that needs to be bought in pairs. They are active little birds that are good if you want birds primarily for watching - not playing with.
These birds also need plenty of room in their cage so they can fly. They will need approximately an 18" square cage for one bird, larger for two or more with plenty of perches available.
Parrotlets
This bird is quickly becoming a very popular species. It is smaller than regular parrots and comes in a variety of beautiful colors. It is less demanding of your time and doesn't require another bird for company. As long as you keep this bird's cage stocked with plenty of treats and toys, it is pretty content.
Of course, you still need to play and interact with this bird but it is good at keeping itself and your child entertained. This bird can live from 15 to 20 years so be sure you are ready for this kind of commitment before you consider purchasing one.
There are many species of birds to choose from, so do some research. Read about different bird personalities, their temperaments, their demand for attention, noise level, expense, and life span. The Canary, Finches, Parakeet, and Parrotlet make good choices for children and will probably be your best bet.
