Healthy Thursday: Joine A Cause or Volunteer

Are you sad, lonely, feeling not needed? Are you retired, disabled, or just feeling not needed? Then you need to possibly volunteer, or join a cause. Helping people is one of the most rewarding things you can do for yourself, and your community. If you are home bound, but still feel the urge to help others there are several online ways you can help. One of those is joining the Literacy Site. Education and reading, is kind of my passion. I think all kids should be able to learn to read, write, and get an education. So everyday they send me an email and I click the little button, and free books are donated. If I want to buy a gift for someone I try to buy it from their site, so the proceeds go to free books for those who need them. I just bought the cutest slipper shoes, and one book was donated from that purchase. Be careful to not get caught up in causes, or charities that are not legit. Do your homework first, there are a lot of scam artists out there. In honor of this post I am giving away a free book to one lucky reader. You must live in the US, click the like button for my Facebook page, shown right at the top of this blog. That is it. All who do that will get an entry to win Love Food and Live Well. This is a new book, read only once by myself. All entries will be placed in a hat, and a name drawn. This will run until next Thursday, at 8 AM. Please leave me a comment with your email address, or blog site where you can be reached if you should win.

Make Money Writing Articles

London Brokers, is a new website to me. I just signed up there, but have not been able to write an article as of yet. They do pay via Paypal each week, which is really nice, as long as you have reached the 10 dollar payout. You write the articles based on directions given from the seller. Once you write the article it is no longer yours, and the buyer uses it as they see fit. Like all work from home jobs, be sure to read all the terms, and requirements they expect of you, before beginning to write an article. They have an extensive help page, with tons of info. One reason I haven't written an article yet, is because I have not read all the terms. If you want a little extra cash, then hop on over and check it out. Some people make a living off writing articles each day. I will settle for one a day, LOL! Good luck, and you do not have to have a blog for this site. The article does not get posted to your blog. Click the link above to begin the process. If they have a referral program I did not find it yet.

Healthy Thursday: Figuring Out Your BMR

For today's Healthy Thursday tip, I am going to give you the formula for figuring out your Basic Metabolic Rate, or BMR. What is BMR? Your BMR is unique to you based on your age, current weight, and height, also whether you are male or female. The BMR will tell you how many calories your body needs in a day to function properly. This is based on a no exercise time at all. So basically it is how many calories your body needs to function each day, without physical activity. So if you are not currently active, this is what you should be following. Please note if you already have underlying medical conditions you must always ask your physician before you take these kinds of things to heart. Disease and medication can severely effect how you should or should not follow a diet. For me, I am female, at my current weight, age and height my BMR came out to be 1585 calories/day. I rounded it to 1600 for ease of calculations. I am going to try my best to stick to this, but I am not optimistic it will be easy. If I add activity, I can add a little bit to it. Here is how to figure out your BMR.

Women: 655 +(4.3 x your weight in pounds) + (4.7 x your height in inches) - (4.7 x your age in years.)

Men: 66 + ( 6.3 x your weight in pounds) + ( 12.9 x your height in inches) - (6.8 x your age in years.)
