Brain Health Network - Professor James Goodwin Declares War on the Chair

DECLARING WAR ON THE CHAIR!

In 2004, two demographers, Gianni Pes and Michel Poulain, identified an obscure region in Sardinia as the part of the world with the most centenarians. Not satisfied with a single find, they went on to discover another 4 areas. They were Okinawa, Loma Linda (California), Costa Rica and Icaria, a Greek island. These areas, now called the Blue Zones, shared 9 common lifestyle features. One of them was moderate, regular and prolonged daily physical activity. As a way of life.

But there is another must-know secret that science has revealed and that we must act upon. Being active is not enough - for the mind, brain, or body, keep reading as Professor James Goodwin explains why we must Declare War On The Chair.

The Brain Health Method - How Can Essential Oils Impact Your Brain Health

Nick Carter, a Kentucky hound, was the greatest tracker in history, with a record in excess of 600 successful arrests. Born in 1899, he began a partnership with Captain G V Mullikin of Lexington, Kentucky which led to more than 150 criminal convictions. He was a bloodhound, a breed which holds the ultimate record for tracking: the location of a missing family in Oregon after more than 300 hours of their disappearance, a record held since 1954.

 But ‘sniffing’ is more than just smell, it is critical for survival in all mammals – for finding and acquiring food and water, detecting predators or other threats, contributing to social interaction and for reproduction.

So, we could ask - can the same be said of us humans?

15th Avenue - Essential Qualities that Every Nanny Must Have

15th Avenue - Essential Qualities that Every Nanny Must Have

Nannies play a crucial role in balancing family and professional responsibilities, making them an invaluable asset to many families. In this article, we will explore the essential qualities that every parent must prioritise which includes open communication, building trust and respect, creating consistent routines, understanding children’s well-being, practising confidentiality and supporting professional development.

Open Communication

Effective communication is the cornerstone of a successful parent-nanny relationship. Establishing clear expectations about job roles, work hours, duties and disciplinary methods creates a solid foundation. A detailed job description, provided before the nanny’s resumption, ensures clarity and mutual understanding of responsibilities. Regular check-ins and open dialogue foster mutual understanding and appreciation. By maintaining transparent and honest communication, both parties can address any concerns promptly, leading to a harmonious and trusting relationship. Open communication helps to ensure that the nanny feels supported and valued, ultimately benefiting the well-being of the children in their care.

Creating Consistent Routines

Parents and nannies collaborate to establish a structured daily schedule encompassing specific times for nanny resumption and closure, medication administration, exercise and games, cooking preferences, allergies, dining etiquette, play dates, meal preparation, nap times and homework. Consistency in these routines provides children with a stable environment essential for their holistic development. This approach ensures a harmonious household and nurtures children’s growth and confidence.

Maintaining Confidentiality

Protecting family privacy is non-negotiable. Both parties must commit to safeguarding personal information, refraining from social media posts about the family, and sharing family details with non-family members. Items belonging to the children should never be taken without parental consent. These confidentiality agreements must be formalised in a Non-Disclosure Agreement, signed by the nanny before resuming duty Respecting privacy builds trust and ensures a secure environment for both the family and the nanny.

Prioritising Children’s Well-Being

A top priority for any nanny is ensuring the well-being of the children under their care. This involves not only meeting their physical, emotional and social needs consistently but also creating a nurturing environment conducive to their growth and development. Nannies and parents collaborate closely to promote healthy habits and adhere to parental guidelines for TV programs and selected cartoon networks. Additionally, they remain attentive to any medical or special requirements the child may have, ensuring their safety and comfort at all times. This unwavering focus on the child’s well-being fosters a positive and thriving environment, laying a solid foundation for their future success and happiness.

Supporting Professional Development

The influence a nanny has on a child is profound. In regions such as the Gulf Cooperation Council countries, 58% of children under three spend 30 to 70 hours weekly with nannies instead of their parents (KHDA). Therefore, parents must invest in the professional development of their nannies. Providing training ensures that children are developing correctly emotionally, technologically, morally, and socially. An investment in a nanny’s knowledge and skills always pays the best interest, fostering a well-rounded upbringing for the children.

As Benjamin Franklin wisely noted, “An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.” This is particularly true for the nanny-parent relationship. Investing in clear communication, mutual respect and consistent routines pays off in the long run, leading to a more harmonious family life.

“The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.” Similarly, the most important thing a nanny can do is create a supportive and loving environment. If managing a household feels overwhelming, think of it as a full-time job with endless opportunities for personal growth—and perhaps a few well-timed coffee breaks!


Thank you for reading our article. We trust you found it insightful and inspiring. At 15th Avenue, we are dedicated to offering you an unparalleled professional nanny experience. Our nannies are meticulously selected and trained to cater to your every need, ensuring peace of mind and exceptional care for your family. Share your thoughts with us in the comment section and stay connected on all our social media platforms for more updates and insights. Experience the finest in nanny services with 15th Avenue.

Platinum Age Management - Epigenetics: The Main Component for a Better Life!

Epigenetics: the main component for a better life!

Platinum Age Management developed its concept based on the foundations of epigenetics. This science, which is still unknown to the public, is nevertheless essential for understanding the factors which influence the quality of our life and consequently, our health and longevity.

Epigenetics is the science that studies the interaction between our environment and the expression of our genes in our cells. How external phenomena, such as our lifestyle, can modulate the expression of our DNA.

Epigenetics plays a crucial role in many biological processes. Factors such as diet, stress or exposure to toxins can influence the epigenetic profile and, therefore, gene expression.

Unlike genetic mutations, epigenetic modifications can be reversible and sometimes transient. However, some epigenetic marks can be passed down from generation to generation.

In summary, epigenetics is an essential dimension of biology that allows dynamic regulation of the expression of our genes.

Eating Like Our Ancestors - Can Intermittent Fasting Benefit Your Brain Health?

Eating Like Our Ancestors - Can Intermittent Fasting Benefit Your Brain Health?

Intermittent fasting is not novel. Its roots date back to ancient times when our ancestors first experienced periods of feast and famine between hunting trips. In the early 20th century however, scientists began exploring the physiological effects of fasting. It is thought that the episodic food shortages not only help to develop a brain whose activities are sharpened when hungry or even starved, but that the benefits could improve overall health and even extend lifespan.

Destination or a New Home - Fun Facts About Antigua and Barbuda 

Destination or a New Home - Fun Facts About Antigua and Barbuda 

We are in full swing of summer plans season and Antigua and Barbuda is a place where luxury isn't just a lifestyle—it's a vibrant, pulsating energy that fills the air with excitement. In this tropical paradise, quiet, natural luxury takes center stage, offering a refreshing twist on the glamorous life. Here are the top reasons that make Antigua and Barbuda an irresistible destination: 

Celebrity Magnet 

Antigua and Barbuda have become a haven for celebrities seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of their busy lives. Renowned personalities such as Justin Bieber, Hilary Swank, and Oprah Winfrey are frequent visitors. Oprah even owns property on the islands, enjoying the tranquility and luxury of this Caribbean paradise. 

Stunning Beaches 

With 365 beaches, one for every day of the year, Antigua and Barbuda are a beach lover's dream. From the popular Dickenson Bay to the secluded Half Moon Bay, the islands boast some of the most beautiful and pristine beaches in the Caribbean.  

Yachting Lifestyle 

The islands are a premier destination for yachting enthusiasts. Antigua Sailing Week, one of the top regattas in the world, attracts sailors and spectators from all corners of the globe. The azure waters and steady trade winds make it a yachting paradise, perfect for both competitive racing and leisurely cruising. 

Second Citizenship Opportunities 

Antigua and Barbuda has a Citizenship by Investment Program, appealing to those seeking security and international opportunities in the Caribbean. Investors might be surprised at all the possibilities the Caribbean has apart from sunshine and relaxation. This program provides numerous benefits, including diverse investment pathways and enhanced global mobility. It also offers a haven in a world of uncertainty, featuring lush natural beauty, a relaxed “island time” lifestyle, and a welcoming community well-connected to both North and South America.  

Luxurious Real Estate - Hodges Bay 

Investing in Antigua and Barbuda presents a wealth of lucrative opportunities, with Hodges Bay emerging as the epitome of luxury. Nestled within eight acres of lush tropical gardens and a pristine sandy beach, the US$100 million Hodges Bay Resort & Spa opened its doors in 2019. Located on Antigua's north shore, this exclusive beachfront resort, spa, and residential development redefines opulence. 

Named the “Most Instagramable Resort of 2023,” Hodges Bay remains one of the most sought-after properties as we enter the new year. An initial investment of USD 200,000 secures a fractional share in this elite development, offering a pathway to second citizenship along with annual holiday perks. After a five-year holding period, investors have the option to reclaim their investment, making Hodges Bay not only a prime real estate opportunity but also a gateway to experiencing one of the world's most luxurious resorts year after year.  

Vibrant Culture 

The islands are home to a vibrant culture, with festivals like Antigua Carnival, celebrating emancipation, and Antigua Sailing Week, reflecting the island’s maritime heritage. Music, dance, and local cuisine play a significant role in the daily life and celebrations of the Antiguan people. 
 

Adventure and Exploration 

Beyond the luxury and relaxation, Antigua and Barbuda offer numerous adventure opportunities. From snorkeling and diving in coral reefs to hiking through lush rainforests, the islands provide a perfect blend of adventure and natural beauty. 
 

Whether you're lounging on the beach, dancing the night away at a star-studded party, or considering Antiguan second citizenship, Antigua and Barbuda promise an experience like no other. It's where luxury meets adventure, and every moment is filled with sunshine and smiles. Come discover the magic of Antigua and Barbuda, and tailor a perfect citizenship by investment route with NTL Trust!

Caribbean Vacationer? Why not a Caribbean Citizen? Here is a Comparative Guide

CARIBBEAN VACATIONER?
WHY NOT A CARIBBEAN CITIZEN?
HERE IS A COMPARATIVE GUIDE

The Caribbean has long been synonymous with dreamy vacations, boasting pristine beaches, vibrant culture, and warm hospitality. However, as the world evolves, so do our desires and aspirations. Beyond fleeting getaways, many are now considering what it would be like to make the Caribbean their permanent home because sometimes, investments in the long run pay off the most. Let’s do an exploration of the differences between vacationing in the Caribbean and getting their citizenship, uncovering the allure of transitioning from visitor to local. 

Getting there: For the vacationer seeking the perfect escape, the dry season from December to April offers ideal conditions with sunny skies and minimal rainfall. All of Caribbean five: Antigua and Barbuda, St Kitts and Nevis, Grenada, St Lucia and Dominica are well connected to all major world hubs with direct flights from US, Scandinavia, UK and Canada. Yet, this peak season comes with inflated prices for airfare and accommodations. Contrastingly, Caribbean citizenship through real estate opens the door to year-round enjoyment of the region's favorable weather, without the seasonal price spikes. Luxury real estate options like Secret Bay in Dominica cater to residents with flexible stays irrespective of the season, providing a weeklong holiday any time of the year for the investors in this boutique real estate. Wherever you come from in the world having a Caribbean passport allows you an uninterrupted holiday you can plan based solely on your wishes without worrying about paperwork, weather or prices. 

Getting around: Exploring the Caribbean as a tourist often necessitates renting a car for convenient mobility. However, navigating local regulations and obtaining a driving license can prove cumbersome. On the other hand, Caribbean citizens benefit from streamlined processes facilitated by services like NTL Trust, ensuring hassle-free acquisition of local licenses. Moreover, luxury real estate developments like Secret Bay extend their services to include chauffeur-driven transport, offering residents great convenience and comfort. 

Getting on water: Island-hopping and discovering lesser-known gems are integral to the Caribbean vacation experience. Renting a boat and crew for such adventures, while exhilarating, can be cost-prohibitive for many tourists. Conversely, Caribbean citizens enjoy access to a network of marinas and yachting communities, fostering a vibrant boating culture. Antigua, being the world’s yachting capital, offers a wonderful hub for sailing lovers and an attractive community of folk with the same passions as yours. 
With assistance from NTL Trust, you can easily navigate the complexities of boat ownership, ensuring smooth sailing under your new country’s flag. As the Caribbean emerges as a hotspot for yachting enthusiasts, opportunities for exploration abound. 

In contemplating the transition from Caribbean vacationer to a Caribbean citizen, one finds a spectrum of experiences waiting to be embraced. While vacations offer fleeting moments of bliss, citizenship promises a deeper connection and a lifestyle of perpetual adventure. Your citizenship of any of Caribbean five: St. Lucia, Dominica, St Kitts and Nevis, Antigua and Barbuda and Grenada doesn’t need to include full time living in the region it opens so many perks while spending time in your new host country, as well as many of the global perks of second citizenship: global mobility, business opportunities and generational legacy. Your Caribbean citizenship can help you become a global vacationer.  So, whether you're dreaming of a temporary escape or yearning for a permanent paradise, the Caribbean beckons with open arms, inviting you to make it your home.

With a commitment to sustainability woven into its very fabric, Secret Bay has earned global acclaim for its architectural finesse, locally crafted luxury, and discreet five-star amenities. 

Investing in real estate at Secret Bay isn't merely a financial endeavor; it's an investment in a lifestyle matchless in its exclusivity. The Residences at Secret Bay offer an opportunity to own a slice of this paradise, with fully appointed villas designed for both citizenship and lifestyle investors, providing a wider market for resale after the initial holding period and thus competitive Exit Strategy. Here, residents enjoy privileged access to pristine beaches, enchanting river caves, and a plethora of adventure equipment for exploring the island's wonders. 

But the allure of Dominica extends beyond its shores. Citizenship in this idyllic nation unlocks a world of possibilities, and NTL Trust ensures that your investment yields far-reaching benefits. Through Dominica's Citizenship by Investment Program, investors gain access to global mobility, lifetime citizenship, residency privileges, and the right to live and work in this environmentally conscious haven.

As a villa owner at The Residences at Secret Bay, you become a member of an elite reciprocity club, granting you access to luxury properties in 87 countries worldwide.
