You might be surprised by the answer.Keywords:adult continuing edication, essay writingArticle Body:Adult continuing education is very practical. Seniors have several advantages over children.* Better memory (truly!)* Experience* Fewer distractions-------------Better memory-------------Doctors thought that you couldn't grow new brain cells, so as old cells died you became morestupid. They now know that the more adult continuing education, the more new brain cells youget. You can even delay Alzheimer's disease by keeping your brain active.But old people keep forgetting things! That's true, because what you remember best are startling,

new, shocking things. To an old person it's a case of \"been there, done that\". Nothing is new orshocking.However, you often have to learn boring things, and there you have an advantage. Seniorstrounced the kids in a test of memorizing meaningless words. My book about exams will showyou how to make your adult continuing education more exciting, which cuts kid's advantageover your memory.----------Experience----------You learn from the known to the unknown. So it's logical that the more experience you have,the more you can think \"yes... that's right... it's just like...\" I am 65 years old now and I can saythat my adult continuing education keeps getting easier because there are always relevant thingsin my experience.------------Distractions------------You may have distractions at work still, but let's face it, are they really as obsessive as yourteenage interests? You aren't going to have to choose between going out on a date and doingsome study. You might have to choose between having a nap and study, but my book aboutexams shows a way round that problem. I'm using it right now!-----Exams-----Just as your three advantages apply to study, they apply to exams. Were you sick with nerves inyour school exams? Your life-career depended on your performance. Now it would be nice topass, but your experience tells you that you will survive failure, and land on your feet again...soless nerves.Unless children have wealthy or helpful parents they can't afford resources that you can afford.For instance, they can afford my free report on writing essays, but not my eBook about passingexams. If you live in a country with timed local phone calls, kids may not be able to do muchresearch on the internet because it costs too much.There are ways to become a lightning calculator and ways to develop a super memory, and youcan afford them all. If you want to learn a language you can probably even afford to get a\"superlearning\" course that teaches you the language in only fifteen hours.------------------------------Why Adult Continuing Education------------------------------All right, you have advantages, but why should you bother with adult continuing education?* Prevents brain deterioration* Retraining for a new job

* Self employmentI've already covered the effect of study on the brain. You get new brain cells.In modern times you can only expect to keep one job for a short time. You are going to need toretrain for your next job.Self-employment. You can't be sacked if you are self-employed, but you can go broke. It is bestto develop your home business part-time until it is earning you twice as much as your job. Thenif you are retrenched from your job you won't care.Then you won't need to worry about adult continuing education any more will you? Oops... youwill need to keep learning even more when you have your own business. For instance, you aregoing to have to learn book-keeping unless you can afford an accountant to do the work. If youhave to employ people, you will need to learn the laws that apply.---------------------How should you learn?---------------------I prefer to use a correspondence coursefor my adult continuing education, but the big advantageof attending classes is that you can get your questions answered instantly.My book about exams shows you how to find answers on the internet. You will probably findlots of eBooks about what you want to learn. But will I ever see what I buy on theinternet? ...you may ask.Think about it. How much more does it cost an eBook vendor to supply 100 eBooks than itcosts for one? That's right... nothing! If it costs me nothing to supply an eBook, why should Itry to rob you? I keep buying new eBooks myself and have never failed to get what I paid for.You can definitely get an adult continuing education online.Health Needs and KindergartenOne of the fears parents often have of sending their children off to kindergarten is the exposureto a public place where the protection of the home is no longer possible. It is true that whenyour child goes to school with other children, the opportunities for illness and contamination aremuch more frequent. But the value of being in school with others and the social andeducational value mean that we as parents must prepare our children to begin to spend time in apublic place and that we do all we can to help them stay healthy and safe each and every day.抯Part of preparing your child to stay healthy even in a public venue like kindergarten is to enlistthe aid of your child pediatrician. She can make sure your kiddo is up to date on shots and抯that any vulnerabilities are well known. A good check up and getting all necessary shotsbefore school starts will insure your child immune system is well equipped to deal with theadditional exposure to germs.But you can also teach your child good hygiene habits at home and engrain them in her lifestyle

抰so they will stick with her even when she is at kindergarten and she doesn have you there toprotect her. This includes good bathroom habits, an obsession with washing her hands asoften as possible, being aware of others who are sniffing and who may not be taking good careof themselves to avoid contamination and using good table habits so the foods your child eatsare clean and safe for consumption at lunch.Good lifestyle habits at home will benefit the child at school as well. This includes a welldeveloped schedule of getting at least eight hours of sleep each day and a regular diet of all the抯major food groups, particularly fruits and vegetables as these foods will give your child bodythe defenses it will need to ward off illness if there is an exposure to germs. Good dietaryhabits will be something that is taught as well as enforced at home. You can send your child alunch to assure that at least she is taking the right kinds of foods. But the best defense is tomake sure your child is aware of her own nutritional needs as it pertains to resisting illness soshe also eats well when getting food from the cafeteria and stays healthy and regular every day.抰You don want to send your child to school paranoid or afraid of other people. But somesimple rules of how to interact with others in a way that is social but not risky should be part ofyour training as you raise the child. Just as you know not to eat after someone else using the抰same utensil, not to eat anything that has been on the floor or not to eat anything that you donknow the origin of, these are basic health rules that children may not know if they are not taught.So be a conscientious parent and equip your child to avoid hazardous hygienic situations.Even if they are innocent dangers, they are dangers none the less.The health preparations for kindergarten includes things parents can control at home such ascheck ups, getting good sleep and nutrition and gong to school healthy and clean.

Nutritional supplements can be found in almost all health food stores and manytraditional stores as well.Throughout history, nutritional supplements have been used to treat a wide range of ailmentsand to improve health. Many traditional medicines come from what may be consideredsupplements. Perhaps one of the most common forms of nutritional supplement is the vitamin.Many people take multi-vitamins, and doctors often recommend such use. Some vitamins canbe risky if taken in excess, however, so an awareness of the safety of such vitamins is essential.An excess of Vitamin A, for example, can lead to liver damage and other unpleasant side effects.Consult with a doctor before taking anything vitamin supplements.Other popular supplements are used in sports, where they are used to enhance performance andspeed recovery. Many supplements used for these purposes cause debate as to effectiveness,and some have been pulled from the shelves. Ephedrine is one recent example. Used in manyweight loss products, ephedrine caused serious heart problems for some users and is now aregulated substance. Creatine is another supplement of possible unknown side effects. Somepeople claim that it causes liver damage, while others say that it is safe when usedappropriately.One of the most important things to know about nutritional supplements is that they are notregulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). This is why many product claims onpackaging labels and advertising materials include the message, \"These statements have notbeen evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration\" or something similar. Becausesupplements are not regulated, the manufacturing, processing, and packaging methods can varya great deal from one product to another. When using supplements, be sure to research thecompany and choose a reputable supplier. The safety of supplements may also be unknown dueto the lack of regulation. Again, careful shopping is necessary.Many producers and users of supplements claim that they are safe because they are natural ormade from \"all natural\" ingredients. While this may seem like a logical claim, consumers mustuse their best judgment when considering the use of supplements. Many substances found innature are not safe, and are in fact toxic, poisonous, and even deadly. After all, poison ivy is \"allnatural,\" but you likely won't want to rub it all over your skin, even if a great sales pitch tried toconvince you that it's the best moisturizer around.Some nutritional supplements can be useful and aid your health. Just as with any consumable,careful shopping and research is essential to your good health. If a claim seems too good to betrue, it likely is. Be aware of product pitches and use good judgment before purchasing andusing any nutritional supplements. Buy supplements from a reputable company andmanufacturer, and when in doubt, consult a physician before beginning a supplement routine.
