Most Important Assets for a Happy Retirement

Retirement may seem a long time away for many, but it does come around more quickly than you might think. And if you truly want to have a happy retirement, there is a checklist of items that you should start considering as early as possible (and they’re not only financial):

Preparation: It goes without saying that you need to save for retirement, but are you aware of how to do it smartly? Will you invest your assets? Hire an investment strategist? Hedge your bets across a diverse portfolio? These are all important questions to consider when planning for retirement. Be sure to speak to a professional (and get a second opinion) to have a short, medium, and long-term strategy for your retirement.
Headspace: There’s a lot to be said for mental work. A strategic mindset is important, whether you’re preparing for the reality of slowing down or to save large chunks of money that you could use on a home improvement project. For instance, knowing that you want to be comfortable in retirement means you may have to pinch pennies. It also means that you must do the mental work of preparing yourself for the volatility of the stock market, should you choose to make the most of your savings. The stock market, especially when it comes to long-term investments, can be an emotional rollercoaster. That’s why it’s important to consider the amount of risk you are prepared to take when you watch the market go up and down with your savings. It isn’t for the faint of heart, which is why you need to have the right mindset and knowledge that investing is a long game.
Having a life plan: What are you going to do with your extra time? Some people like to take up a new hobby, others like to travel, and some retirees even take up part-time work to keep them involved and stimulated. Whatever you do, ensure that retirement is a time for joy, relaxation, and spending time doing things and with people that matter to you. It will make some of the financial sacrifices more rewarding.

Probiotics: How & Why to Choose One

You may often hear suggestions to take probiotics, but what exactly are they and why should you? The gut–otherwise known as the digestive tract in your body–is a remarkable system leading from the mouth all the way to your bottom. Contained within the gut are bacteria. Most bacteria are good for you and can support a healthy digestive system by providing a host of benefits, like boosting immunity, producing brain chemicals like serotonin, and even anti-aging benefits. However, some bacteria can cause disease, obesity, diabetes, and Alzheimer’s.

That’s why people take probiotics–a friendly type of bacteria or other living microorganism–toencourage the correct balance of bacteria in the gut. Probiotics may also help with digestive problems like irritable bowel syndrome, weight loss, skin health, and can positively impact neurological disorders.

So, how do you find the right probiotic?

Two of the most common types are Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium, but there are a host of others. Each strain of bacteria is said to support certain health conditions, too. Check with your doctor on a recommended strain for you or do some online research to see which strains are considered best for your condition.
Ensure the probiotic you choose is made in the United States by a reputable company that does third-party testing – a sign of higher quality supplements. Brands like Klaire Labs, Pure Encapsulations, and Designs For Health are usually doctor- or nutritionist-recommended, which is a sign of their efficacy and quality. You can buy many of these brands directly from the manufacturer online, which is the best way to ensure they are genuine and not a knock-off.
Most experts suggest choosing a probiotic with at least 1 billion colony-forming units (CFUs), but check with your doctor to see what they recommend for you.

Kids and Media

Technology has advanced so quickly that there are electronic devices all around us. Kids have access to countless video games, can watch hundreds of channels of TV, lots of videos, and they can even interact with others across the world on social media and other messaging apps. That can be a frightening prospect when your child could be interacting with strangers.

It can be hard as a parent to set boundaries around screen time and interactions, and your child may get resentful if their access to technology is restricted. Another approach could include setting limits on the apps themselves and working with the family collaboratively on a family media plan. Some ideas include:

Create a family media plan that the family can use to make a list of media priorities. Visithealthychildren.organd search for “media plan.”
Check out Common Sense Media (commonsensemedia.org) for reviews of movies, TV shows, games, podcasts, books, and apps and their appropriate viewing age.
TV Ratings and the V-Chip – All TV sets since 1999 allow you to block TV and films based on rating. Check your TV’s instruction manual to see how to do it.

Clean Your Windows the Right Way

Everyone has windows, and it’s always a struggle to keep them spot- and streak-free. Try this checklist to keep your panes perfect:

Place towels on the floor and a smaller on the windowsill to collect dirt and any water.
Clean curtains and blinds first so you don’t have dusty curtains/blinds touching your clean windows!
Label each screen before removing it and setting aside.
Use a large duster or whisk broom to clean around the window frame.
Next, clean the inside of the window with a damp cloth before applying a window cleaner.
Use a window cleaner and spray each section as you go, using an S motion, avoiding spraying the whole window at once because it might dry before you can wipe. Clean the window with a microfiber cloth or other lint-free cloth.
Dry with another cloth, a dry part of your first cloth, or a squeegee.
Believe it or not, the outside is easier, because you can use a garden hose! Be sure to close all windows first and dust off debris. Rinse with the hose, then dry with a squeegee or microfiber cloth. For windows above the ground floor use a telescoping pole with a cloth attached for the cleaning and drying.
