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.

Your lungs are like sponges that need to fill with air. You need lung capacity to receive oxygen simply because your RBCs (red blood cells) need oxygen. Without oxygen, you die. Hemoglobin is the protein inside RBCs that carries oxygen. Your lungs are VITAL organs, which is why your lungs are monitored when your 'vitals' are taken. Try these simple ways to increase your lung capacity.
Your bedroom should be as or more pristine and peaceful than the best hotel room you have ever stayed in. Too much of the wrong activity in the bedroom can cloud the mind and create brain fog, confusion, sleeplessness, overwhelming thoughts and bad dreams, especially the closer everything is to the head.

During my most financially crippling times is when I learned the most about 'managing' money. I have always been a 'quality over quantity' person but it was when I had very little money that I learned why 'quality over quantity' was so important. In the long run, quality saved me more money but quantity cost me more money. Like any other managing situation in Life, if you can't manage yourself, then you can't rise.

Eggs are the perfect food and because they are so perfect we go through eggs like they are candy. In the refrigerator I keep one 18 egg carton marked 'hard' and one 18 egg carton unmarked to use for cooking. Between the two of us we go through (at least) 36 eggs a week.

Regardless, we eat a lot of eggs.
