10 Things That Should Always Be in Your Car

Essential items that drivers should keep in their vehicles, because a blown tire could turn into an overnight stay in a cold, lonely snowdrift.
By Evan Griffey of MSN Autos

It's inevitable: Cars break down. In fact, the Automobile Association of America , the largest emergency roadside assistance organization in the country, handles between 29 and 30 million roadside calls for help each year from motorists stranded on America's highways and byways. While most mishaps can be handled with little trouble (AAA says that 3 out of 5 assistance calls it receives are fixed on location without the need for a tow), others are a little trickier because aid isn't nearby or is "closed for the evening." Waiting time for a helping hand to arrive in these situations varies greatly depending on where you are, as well as on road and weather conditions.
It's important to follow the Boy Scouts' motto while on the road: Be prepared! That means putting together an emergency road kit and carrying it around with you.

Be Proactive

The term proactive was coined by Austrian neurologist and psychiatrist Victor Frankl. In 1942 he and his family were sent to the Nazi concentration camps. There his wife and parents died. On April 27, 1945, he was liberated from Dachau by U.S. Troops . Frankl’s life of research and service is a testament to his idea of being proactive, even in the worst of conditions. What about you? You can either be proactive or reactive. The challenges of life will come; your response is your own choice. When you are reactive, you blame other people and circumstances for obstacles or problems. When you are proactive you take responsibility for every aspect of your life. How about you? Are you taking the initiative or just pointing fingers. Are you working on you relationships, your health, your wealth, your service or will you be a victim everything the has happened to you? Victor Frankl could not choose whether to be prisoner of the Holocaust or not, but he did choose to be a survivor and an overcomer, not a victim. What about your? What is your choice today? Take the initiative.
Be proactive.

Take Control of Your Personal Environmant

Duke Johnson, M.D.
Medical Director, Nutrilite Health Institute

We take it for granted that our abundant air and water are clean – but are they? No matter how many warnings we hear about pollution, we seem to think that it’s a problem our neighbors face – not us. Let’s take a look at clean water, clean air, and the personal habits that can help keep us healthy and strong, for the best of our lives!

Drink Sensibly In North America, the vast majority of municipal water systems are monitored and meet strict standards. But spring rains, snowmelt, summer storms, flooded fields, older sewer systems, or the overuse of herbicides, pesticides, and fertilizers can cause pollution spikes in city water systems and rural wells. And older water systems can include sections of lead pipe.
When people are unsure about the safety of their local water source, they often choose bottled water, which can often come from those same local water sources.
One way to help control the quality of your drinking and cooking water is to have a home water-purification system that uses a compressed carbon filter and ultraviolet light to help filter out particulates or destroy unwanted microorganisms.

Breathe Deeply Scientific research has found a direct connection between air pollution, upper respiratory complaints, and, in some cases, cancer. While we can’t directly influence the outdoor air quality, we can have more control over our home and car environments. If you find yourself stuck in traffic, recycle your car’s interior air. Air out your home frequently to reduce contaminants from new furniture, paint, and carpeting. Identify if your house is in a radon zone. Reduce your exposure to secondhand smoke and if you smoke, consider cutting down or quitting. Finally, invest in a high-quality air purifier for your home, especially if your family includes the very young or very old, who are at the greatest risk when exposed to poor air quality.

Act Responsibly In reality, we share our world – and every inch of our bodies – with a host of microorganisms. And keeping these bacteria, germs, and viruses under control requires us to practice good hygiene.
Would you be surprised to learn that many people only brush their teeth once a day? One in every three people has periodontal disease.
While 94% of North Americans claim to wash their hands after using the bathroom, hidden observation reveals the number is closer to 68%.
Despite the fact that everyone knows the best way to stop a cold is to wash their hands every time they use a tissue, most people don’t.
Don’t open yourself up to health risks by slacking on personal hygiene – your immune system will thank you.
