A
new survey shows that many American families are ill-prepared to deal
with a natural disaster. Nearly half said they don’t have a first-aid
kit or any emergency supplies in their home, and about 50% don’t have at
least three days of non-perishable food and water on hand. Almost as
many said they don’t know all the phone numbers of their immediate
family members. Source Link
Researchers say one way to get more exercise is to keep track of how much you’re doing. A study found that older adults who wore a pedometer to count their steps walked nearly twice as much while using the device. The extra walking didn’t necessarily lead to weight loss, but it did help participants lower their blood pressure. Source Link
Even with the latest technology, some things don't change. A new survey found that most people who get their news from tablets like the iPad use it in the early evening, about the same time that daily news programs air on TV. And tablet news consumers were more likely to subscribe to print newspapers and magazines than those who get their news via a smart phone. Source Link
