In the last issue we ended by describing the polyunsaturated fats.  These Omega 3 and 6 fats are considered essential because they cannot be made by the human body from other sources – they must be ingested as food.  We also said that Americans get an abundance of Omega 6 fats in their diet as compared to Omega 3’s and that imbalance has health consequences.  Many people believe that consumption of certain Omega 6 essential fatty acids (e.g., flaxseed oil…) will convert to Omega 3’s in the body and while that is true, it is a very inefficient process.  The beneficial preventive and therapeutic effects of Omega 3 essential fatty acids are gained by direct consumption of dietary fish and/or fish oil supplements.

“Domestic violence and abuse can happen to anyone, yet the problem is often overlooked, excused, or denied. This is especially true when the abuse is psychological, rather than physical. Emotional abuse is often minimized, yet it can leave deep and lasting scars.  Domestic abuse, also known as spousal abuse, occurs when one person in an intimate relationship or marriage tries to dominate and control the other person. Domestic abuse that includes physical violence is called domestic violence. Continue reading Why Wambui Bahati

MCW: Elder Care – not our favorite topic – but important to discuss because it touches so many.  As wives, daughters, mothers and working professionals, we “wear so many hats.” So when our loved one is in need of help, maybe a couple of hours per week help around the house or they are coming out of surgery and will need regular assistance or maybe they are no longer safe at home because of dementia/ Alzheimer’s… we do not know where to begin our search. Donna Zimet, the Regional NJ/ PA Eldercare Advisor, can share her expertise in helping families with this consuming task. Continue reading Elder Care Options: Zimet Talks with Mercer County Woman

Before you sit down for your next hair appointment you might want to take a few minutes and have a closer look around the establishment and consider a few things.  How long has that hair on the floor that you just stepped in been there? Are the stations dirty with dust and unseen bacteria? Do the combs, brushes and scissors still have hair in them from the last person that they were used on—or even scarier, is that hair from the day before? Does your stylist have a ‘few’ small nicks and cuts on their hands which aren’t covered? Continue reading Could Your Hair Salon Infect Your Family With The H1N1 Virus Or MRSA?

There are various statutes and Court Rules that address custody and related issues in New Jersey.  It is important for divorcing parents to understand that the state Legislature has found that it is in the best interests of children to have frequent and continuing contact with both parents after separation and divorce and that it is in the public interest to encourage both parents to share the rights and responsibilities of rearing their children.  The law in New Jersey also provides that the rights of both parents are equal.  The Court may accept any custody arrangement which is agreed to by both parents provided that it
is not contrary to the children’s best interests. Continue reading Children and Divorce

Okay, so maybe I’m still a little upset about the Eagles’ loss to Dallas on the first Sunday in January….

But it did get me thinking, “How often do people just show up places expecting good things to happen with little or no personal effort?” Even seasoned networkers, like me, often lose sight of the game plan. Continue reading When Just Showing up Isn’t Enough
