The campaign to celebrate fathers in the United States did not initially receive the same
enthusiasm as Mother’s Day, perhaps because, as one florist explained, “fathers haven’t the same
sentimental appeal that mothers have.” And, contrary to popular belief, this special day was not
established as a holiday in order to help greeting card manufacturers sell more cards.
The Origins of Father’s Day
On July 5, 1908, a West Virginia church sponsored the nation’s first event explicitly in honor of
fathers, a Sunday sermon in memory of the 362 men who had died in the previous December’s
explosions at the Fairmont Coal Company mines in Monongah, but it was a one-time
commemoration and not an annual holiday.
The next year, a Spokane, Washington woman named Sonora Smart Dodd, one of six children
raised by widower, William Jackson Smart (pictured), tried to establish an official equivalent to
Mother’s Day for male parents after hearing a church sermon honoring Mother’s Day. She went
to local churches, the YMCA, shopkeepers and government officials to drum up support for her
idea, and she was successful: Washington State celebrated the nation’s first
statewide Father’s Day on June 19, 1910.
Slowly, the holiday spread. In 1916, President Wilson honored the day by
using telegraph signals to unfurl a flag in Spokane when he pressed a
button in Washington, D.C. In 1924, President Calvin Coolidge urged
state governments to observe Father’s Day.
Today, the day honoring fathers is celebrated in the United States on the
third Sunday of June and this year, Father’s Day falls on June 17. In other
countries–especially in Europe and Latin America–fathers are honored on
St. Joseph’s Day, a traditional Catholic holiday that falls on March 19.
Health

Getting a sufficient amount of quality sleep can be difficult for many, but a few changes can have a significant
impact, according to the Mayo Clinic. Much of the requirement for getting a good night's rest revolves
around controlling the environment in which a person is sleeping and developing routines that aid a person
in transitioning from awake time to sleep time.
A big part of training the body to sleep better involves having a consistent sleep schedule. Ideally, a person
will go to sleep and wake up within an hour of this set schedule each day while ensuring that there is time
for at least seven hours of sleep or more. For those that find it hard to stick to a bedtime, focus on waking
up at the desired time even if you stay up late to help reinforce that part of the cycle first and make yourself
tired for the next night.
An often overlooked area for good sleep is what happens during the daytime, and one helpful change could
be adding extra physical activities into the daily routine. Engaging in games, exercise or even just a good
walk helps a person fall asleep faster and deeper at night but shouldn't be done too close to bedtime to avoid
being overly energized. Daytime naps, while they can be beneficial, should be limited to 30 minutes and
taken earlier in the day to avoid disrupting that set sleep schedule. Similarly, eating big meals or drinking
a lot of alcohol right before bed can create disruptions in the sleep cycle.
Finally, the environment itself can be crucial for falling and staying asleep, and this means making the
room cool, dark, and quiet. After setting the thermostat to lower itself a couple of degrees shortly before
bed, focus on eliminating sources of light and noise in the bedroom. This can include turning off the TV
or computer screen, hanging up light-blocking shades, and using earplugs and face masks.

Corner
Senior Fitness
Sociopathology is a widely recognized personality
Disorder. A sociopath is often well liked because of
Liv2beHealthy
their charm and high charisma, but they do not
usually care anything about any other people. They Tuesday
mainly of themselves and often blame others for the
things that they, themselves, do. They have a
complete disregard for social rules and lie constantly.
Thursday
They seldom feel guilt or learn from punishments.
Though some sociopaths have become murders,
Saturday
most reveal their sociopathy through less deadly
and sensational means. Psychologists tell us that
roughly one in 25 Americans is a sociopath.
Of course, not all sociopaths are dangerous criminals. Balance Fitness
But they certainly can make life difficult, given that
the defining characteristic of sociopathy is antisocial
behavior.
Every Tuesday
The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental
Disorders notes that sociopaths have a very inflated
sense of self. They are narcissists in the extreme,
a huge sense of self entitlement. They usually Morning Stretch
blame others for their own failures. Sociopaths use
deceit and manipulation on a regular basis. They Wednesday
often lie just for the sake of lying. They will lie just
to see whether they can trick ordinary people.
Sociopaths lack the meaningful emotional inner
worlds that most people have and perhaps because
that they can't really imagine or feel the emotions Morning Walk
of any other human being. This may well be the
reason that sociopaths almost never feel: remorse,
guilt, or shame.
Thursday
Sociopaths bounce from goal to goal, and often act
on the spur of the moment. They can be
irresponsible when it comes to their finances and
their obligations to other people. Sociopaths can be
Brain Fitness w/ Kit
very charismatic and friendly; because they know
that will help them get what they want. They are Every Tuesday
expert con artists and always have a secret agenda.
Normal people are often amazed when they find that
someone is a sociopath because sociopaths are so
amazingly effective at blending in. They are masters
of disguise.
Dakim Brain Fitness
I imagine most Americans do not think about these
things very much, unless you happen to be related to,
Everyday
or know, a sociopath. But I suggest that now, in
2018, all Americans should think very carefully
about these matters. They may well effect us all.Building the Case for Group Fitness Classes
When did exercise become something we “had to do” or “should do”, rather than
something we did because we enjoyed it? When we were kids, most of our physical
activity revolved around playing games with kids in the neighborhood and orga-
nized school and community sports teams. Sure, the fitness was a payoff, but the
real benefit was continued motivation and the chance to bond with others in our
age group. As younger adults, we found community sports leagues, and even group
fitness classes at local gyms to help keep up motivated to stay fit. As we age,
however, it just seems that we have fewer and fewer opportunities to participate in
group fitness classes.
Some of the benefits of group exercise include:
A social and fun environment – if we
can have fun while we exercise, we”re
more likely to continue to do it. Our Live
2 B trainers keep participants engaged
and motivated throughout the class.
Safe and effectively designed work-
outs – Live 2 B Healthy exercises are
specifically designed to tackle the issues
that the aging face – such as loss of
balance, mobility and muscle tone.
When taking a Live 2 B Healthy class, you know that we will cover all the impor-
tant areas for you – and some you may not have even realized were important.
Accountability factor – When you participate in a group fitness class, there is
always lively conversation in the group. You will be missed if you don’t attend a
class. Don’t be surprised if one of your neighbors knocks on your door to check
in with you if you miss a class.
A workout that requires no prior knowledge or experience – Many people
find themselves intimidated by the complexity of the fitness equipment, espe-
cially the computerized pieces. Attending a group fitness class, led by a certified
personal trainer, will ensure that you are getting the most benefit out of the
time you spend in class. You will also be provided with modifications for specific
limitations.
