Gone are the days when travelling to different places was only for youngsters. There is no clause that seniors can't be adventurous. Earlier, if a retired individual wished to visit Mt. Rushmore or the Alaskan Wildlife Sanctuary, the travel conditions were not conducive for seniors. However, these dilemmas have been taken care of, since there are various travel agencies that offer senior bus tours. Bus tours are quite popular among seniors who are a bit hesitant to travel by planes. In addition to being safe for seniors, bus tours give them an opportunity to experience their journey, the beauty of the routes they take, the local culture, etc. So, when you decide to opt for a senior bus tour package, you would want everything to be perfect. However, there are instances where you don't receive what you had been promised, or, at times the experience doesn't match up to your expectations. So, here are certain aspects that one must consider before booking their senior bus tour. The prices- Senior bus tour packages are quite affordable but there are chances that some other travel agency might be offering the same tour for a better price. So, instead of wasting your precious dollars by choosing the first available option, research. Use the internet and search for the senior bus tours that different travel agencies offer and choose the one which offers the best price, along with the amenities you wish for. Your travelling partners- When you are getting all geared-up for your senior bus tour, make sure you know beforehand which people would be travelling with you. You wouldn't want to be a part of a crowd that has loud 20-year-olds who might disturb the tranquil atmosphere you crave for. So, double check with the travel agency regarding your travel companions. The guides- Make sure the guide that the travel agency has assigned to your group is someone who knows where he's taking you and knows the place like the back of his hand. In short, a local would be the best option for a guide. The itinerary- You must go through the itinerary and check which sites are included in your visiting list and how long you would be spending at these sites. Check the review- You need to be aware of how authentic the travel agency that you have chosen for your senior bus tour is. You can visit different online forums where people write reviews based on their experience. If you wish for your senior bus tour to be a smooth one without any bumpy rides, then make sure you follow these commandments before you book tickets on your senior bus tour.

Everyone goes through ups and downs, but when it begins to affect your daily life, mood swings could be a sign of a bigger problem like bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is also known as manic-depressive disorder. As the name suggests, it involves severe mood swings from excessive happiness to depression. Both phases can last for anywhere between a few weeks to a few months. When it comes to psychological disorders like bipolar disorder, it is important to recognize the top 5 bipolar signs so as to be able to seek treatment early. There are three main categories of bipolar disorder: • Bipolar I disorder: This involves at least one manic episode and one major depressive episode. • Bipolar II disorder: In this case, the patient may have had at least one episode of depression, but may not have had a manic episode. • Cyclothymic disorder: This is characterized by at least two years of alternating major manic and depressive episodes. Manic episodes can be identified by increased energy levels, euphoria, insomnia and sleep troubles, talkativeness, lack of concentration and risky behavior. On the other hand, depressive episodes are marked by feelings of sadness, lack of interest in activities, social withdrawal, weight loss and fatigue. Symptoms of this condition can vary from person to person, but the top 5 bipolar signs to look out for are: • High levels of energy or excessive happiness • Racing thoughts that reduce concentration abilities • Grandiose ideas • Insomnia and sleep disturbances • Increased sex drive In many cases, the depressive episodes are easier to recognize than manic ones. For this reason, when talking of bipolar disorder treatment, depression is closely related. There is no cure for bipolar disorder and hence the goal of treatment is to help manage the symptoms and reduce recurrences of manic and depressive episodes. Bipolar disorder treatment typically includes: • Medications: This usually implies more of mood stabilizers, anti-depressants and anti-anxiety medication that must be taken orally on a regular basis. • Psychotherapy: This involves individual counseling and group therapy sessions. Therapy for bipolar disorder focuses on stabilizing daily routines such as setting a time for sleeping, eating and exercising, which thus reduces the intensity of mood swings. • Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT): CBT focuses on identifying negative behaviors and beliefs and then replacing them with positive ones. Stress management and learning to deal with negative situations is also a key part of this therapy. Family therapy: In cases of psychological disorders like bipolar disorder, the patient needs a strong support system. Hence, his or her family is also involved in the treatment. Therapists teach family members how to identify episode triggers and manage them, along with making a plan for continuing the treatment.

As we think of furniture, the first things that pop up in our mind would be the bigger items we use in our homes such as the bed, cupboard and sofa set. However, there are many other small furniture items that add meaning to our homes due to their remarkable appearance and utility. Most of the small furniture would be utilized for storage. Small cupboard above wash basin: Wash basin would be an important fitting that is used for washing hands before and after meals, brushing teeth in the morning and at night, shaving the face as part of daily grooming routine and washing the face to feel fresh after we wake up and when we arrive at home from outside. All these things would require some or other small things such as the hand wash, shaving kit, tooth brush an toothpaste, face wash, soap and the mirror. We can get a small cupboard with sliding or swinging opening that would have a mirror on the front doors. Similarly, there would be two or three partitions or shelves inside this cupboard where all the required utilities and small things can be kept. Thus it would be easy to get whatever required from this cupboard while using the wash basin for different purposes. This would add convenience to our daily routine and would save our time spent on searching for various things. Single door cupboard on the wall near the entrance: In most of the traditional homes, footwear would not be accepted inside the houses, or there would be different casual slippers or walkers for domestic use. Storage of all the footwear of all the family members would require a considerable amount of space. At the same time, if the footwear would be kept in a rack near the entrance of a home, it would look awkward to the guests arriving at homes. Therefore we can get a single door swinging opening cupboard, custom built according to the exact size of the opening and divide it through some shelves so that all the footwear would be stored properly. This cupboard would have a door made of plywood wit elegant looking mica on it. Thus the shoes and sandals kept in the cupboard would not be visible from outside. Thus this cupboard would be multi-purpose. It would hide the footwear and also would have a stylish appearance. Single bed with storage: This is another example of multi-purpose small furniture. We can get a single bed that would have storage space and openings from the front side. This single bed can be utilized as a sofa, and even one person can sleep on this comfortably. It would have a canopy like coverings from three sides and swinging doors towards the bottom on one side for access to the entire storage area. Small furniture would serve a very important purpose of making the homes look neat and tidy.

Brain tumor is the spread of abnormal cell growth in the brain. Alternate therapies can offer some amount of support in managing the early symptoms of brain tumor. There are various studies and research that have been done to get a permanent solution for the disorder. But in the meanwhile, let us initiate some discussion on nutrition, toxic exposure, and lifestyle factors that can help in managing the symptoms of brain tumor. The primary means to manage early symptoms of brain tumor are within our control. They are healthy lifestyle changes in diet, exercise, stress reduction. Avoiding carcinogens of the immediate environment can also ease out the effects of the symptoms of brain tumor. Read on to know more about the same. Sleep well Sleep is crucial even for a healthy person. It becomes more critical for a cancer patient. It is the time when the body heals itself. There are pathways in the body, which remove the toxic wastes that accumulate during the day. This system which is known as the glymphatic system is more active during nighttime. Deprivation of sleep hinders the natural working of this system. Consumption of cancer-combating phytonutrients Conventional cancer treatments are known to have toxic effects on healthy cells and general health. Consuming a diet full of cancer-fighting nutrients is essential to manage the early symptoms of brain tumor to be specific. Vegetables and herbs like dark green leafy vegetables, turmeric, oregano, basil, and thyme have proved to have strong anti-carcinogenic properties. Manage stress If you are diagnosed with brain tumor, then the early symptoms can be managed by stress reduction techniques such as meditation, yoga, and breathing exercises. Along with these, inhaling frankincense oil has proved to reduce brain inflammation. The active component present in the oil i.e. boswellic acid improves blood circulation and relieves pain. Restrict high-calorie intake and take up ketogenic diet Unlike healthy cells, tumor cells cannot metabolize ketones produced by the body. Ketones are a source of energy for neurons. Consuming a diet rich in proteins, fats, and carbohydrates trigger the production of ketones and hinder the growth of malignant cells. Restricting intake of carcinogenic-inducing diet and consuming more of ketogenic diet can help in manage the early symptoms of brain tumor. Restrict mobile devices The radiation emitted from mobile devices and batteries is considered a possible carcinogen by a study conducted on cancer patients by the World Health Organization (WHO). It may not be possible to entirely shut off the use of mobile phones, but few strategies can help like texting instead of talking, using the speakerphones, shutting off the device whenever possible and not sleeping with the device in the room. Make sure you consult a doctor or a nutritionist before you take up lifestyle and diet changes. Prescribed medicines may also help ward off the effects of the early symptoms of brian tumor.
