Military.com issues warning - Beware of Financial Services Scams: A scam to solicit money from service members and DoD civilians has been identified. The letter purporting to be from DFAS asks the fiancee of a service member to register in "our system," entitling the fiancee to benefits in the event of the service member's death. The letter even uses the DFAS logo. DFAS does not send unsolicited email messages with attachments or letters asking you to send money to pay for some benefit. This letter is a typical phishing scam used to obtain personal information and often times, money. For more personal finance tips, visit the Military.com Money Center.
Tips on Brain Health from Dr. Daniel Amen at http://70.32.73.82/blog/5742/brain-fog-is-not-normal/ Dr. Amen has a free weekly newsletter on brain health; this week’s issue includes the following tips to keep your brain youthful and fully-functioning (not foggy!) Highlights include:
• Eat nutrition-packed high-quality calories to maintain optimal weight. Be sure to include Omega 3, 6, 9 Fatty Acids (from salmon, eggs, avocados, walnuts), lean protein (beans, whole grains & vegetables), and high-antioxidant (bright-colored) fruits and vegetables. A high-protein breakfast is especially important for mental clarity in the morning, while carbohydrates induce relaxation.
• Drink plenty of pure water
• Limit sugar and chemical sugar substitutes, use natural alternatives and avoid blood sugar spikes
• Depression and mood swings have been helped with fish oil, EPA and DHA specifically
• Aerobic exercises and resistance training improve brain blood/oxygen circulation. Alternating high intensity 60-second bursts with several minutes of moderate walking is most helpful, or try dancing, ping-pong, or swimming. More is not better, avoid excessive training/sports.
• Ask for a blood test to screen for vitamin D3, supplement if you are deficient.
