Here are the 4 simple steps to start the exercise habit (and keep it going). I should note that you can use these 4 steps to start any habit.
1. Set one easy, specific, measurable goal. There are several keys to setting this crucial goal:
* Written: Write this down. Post it up. If you don’t write it down, it’s not important.
* Easy: Don’t — DO NOT — set a difficult goal. Set one that is super, super easy. Five minutes of exercise a day. You can do that. Work your way to 10 minutes after a month. Then go to 15 after 2 months. You can see what I mean: make it easy to start with, so you can build your habit, then gradually increase.
* Specific: By specific, I mean what activity are you going to do, at what time of day, and where? Don’t just say “exercise” or “I’m going to walk”. You have to set a time and place. Make it an appointment you can’t miss.

Exmovere LLC unveiled a Web-based Bluetooth-enabled biosensor wristwatch dubbed “Exmocare,” which is designed to help provide elderly care assistance for individuals 65 years of age and older. (You know, for those “I’ve fallen and can’t get up!” moments.)
Exmocare allows family and other caregivers to monitor an elderly individual’s physiological and emotional health status in from afar, and get this–in real-time! The “wearable sensor system” offers automated reports on the elderly individuals’ vital signs including pulse, heart rate and motion. It can also assess up to ten different emotions including relaxed, worried and agitated. So does this mean that the RI-MAN Humanoid Robot will be out of a job?

The secret to getting a solid 7 to 8 hours of sleep is to enjoy one or two of these 10 foods. They relax tense muscles, quiet buzzing minds, and/or get calming, sleep-inducing hormones - serotonin and melatonin - flowing.

Chamomile tea. The reason chamomile is such a staple of bedtime tea blends is its mild sedating effect - it’s the perfect natural antidote for restless minds/bodies.
