SIDELINED: How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health examines the many ways in which women manage and sometimes mismanage their healthcare Researcher and author Susan Salenger describes how women, the medical gatekeepers for their families, are extremely conscientious about taking care of themselves They choose their doctors carefully, visit them more frequently than men, and stay on top of all health information Yet, women tend to inadvertently undermine their own health They’re so focused on taking care of their families that they sometimes fail to stop and ask doctors the necessary questions when it comes to their own healthcare As a result, they may end up with inaccurate treatments and unnecessary procedures Salenger also explores the cultural and medical history that has conditioned women not to act in their own best interest She offers insights into the gender biases of the medical community and explores why women are misdiagnosed more often than men and why they are routinely omitted from clinical trials Designed to help women become more consciously aware, SIDELINED will provide readers with the knowledge, language, and skill sets needed to ensure that women are comfortable advocating for themselves when it comes to their own personal healthcare

In SIDELINED: How Women Manage & Mismanage Their Health, Susan Salenger researches the question most women ask themselves at one time or another, “Why did I agree to that?

Below are a few tips to help you to remember it all:
8 Use sticky notes
Organize yourself to free up more fun time!
There are many good and free e mail reminder services available You can type in what you want to remember, such as a welcome party, anniversary, or special event, and you will receive an e mail reminder when the date is approaching
4 Record your every thought You might find yourself driving when a good idea about organizing comes to you or you might recall something that you really need to write down No need to pull over and start writing, record instead! Pull off to the side of the road and use a small handheld tape recorder This is a wonderful tool to carry around with you, to record your thoughts, your parking space number, or even a memorable telephone number you see on a billboard as you drive by Use your handy recorder to be your second eyes and ears
Those wonderful, little sticky notes are the next best thing to sliced bread! They are amazing as memory helpers Want to remember something prior to leaving your home? Just mark it down on a Post It Note and stick it to the inside of your door The bright, neon colors will be great to catch your eye as you are leaving You will not likely miss it! Need to make an urgent call first thing in the morning? Leave a Post It Note on your telephone
Visual reminders will help you remember and stay focused Use visual reminders for remembering your goals If your goal is to take a trip to Ireland in a few years, keep a magazine photograph of Ireland right on your desk If your goal is to lose 30 lbs in six months, find a picture or ornament that will help remind you of this goal each day
6 Be confident in yourself If you keep saying you have a bad memory, you will probably continue to have a bad memory It is important to have a motivated, I CAN remember attitude
Being well organized takes lots of time and effort and there is a lot to remember, but being disorganized takes even MORE time time away from doing the things that you really love
10 Visual memory joggers
2 Keep it all in one place Once you have developed the knack for writing everything down, your next step will be to keep your writing all in one place You will remember better this way Otherwise, you are going to spend valuable time searching for your notes
5 Call ahead When you are at the office and you want to do something when you arrive back home, call ahead to your answering machine and leave yourself a message As soon as you get home you can listen to your message and remember exactly what you wanted to do
7 Handy email reminders
9 Use timers and alarms Take advantage of alarm clocks and timers throughout your day Have to take the clothes out of the dryer by 12 noon? Set your alarm clock to remind you Want to leave for the ladies luncheon by 7 p m ? Set your timer to beep a few minutes before it is time to start to get ready
1 Jot it down With the many details that you have to remember on any given day, why should you try to keep it all in a memory bank? At the very moment that you remember something needs to be done, the very best thing to do is write it down Then, just as you need to recall it, it will be there for you in an instant
3 Stay healthy A keen memory is a well nourished mind Eat healthily; get plenty of rest and lots of good exercise These will all see you through to having a good memory, staying focused, and being alert

#3: Baby Back Ribs No BBQ party is complete without the baby back ribs. And while it’s common meat to pair with your new charcoal grill, it requires a slow and low grilling process, so we suggest keeping a close eye on it during food prep. Our cuisine experts also discourage you from adding too much sauce, as this would dampen the natural flavor of the ribs.
Among the best meats to grill on charcoal grills, flank steak is undoubtedly one of the most flavorful. Before putting it on the hot grates, ensure that the meat is thawed accordingly, or it won’t cook well in direct charcoal heat. If you want a mouth bursting flavor, marinating your steak is a great option to consider before the actual grilling. However, we advise putting it in a sealed container and letting it sit in the refrigerator for food safety
#1: Prime Rib Steak
Meats with great marbling like prime rib steak always taste delicious and flavorful when cooked on a charcoal grill.
A grilled chicken recipe comes in many forms, from boneless, bone in, wings and chicken cutlets and thighs. However, any foodie knows the best way to enjoy chicken is at a BBQ party! The duration of grilling a chicken barbecue recipe depends on the size, but its flavor mainly relies on the marinade you use.
#5: Flank Steak
Top 5 Meats to Grill on Charcoal!
Admit it or not, a charcoal grill is often the best option when cooking meat. However, there’s no denying that not all meats suit the smoky nature and high temperature of grillers. To help you avoid a culinary mishap, here are some of the best meats our resident chefs recommend when grilling on charcoal.
#4: Burger Steak When grilling burgers in charcoal, it’s best to keep your cooking temperature in check. One miscalculation in handling heat could result in an overdone or undercooked burger. If you’re looking forward to perfectly grilled patties, don’t rely on pre made ones at the grocery stores.
Typically, our resident cuisine experts suggest seasoning the steak with a rub mixture before placing it on direct heat. It will take fifteen to twenty minutes to cook if your griller is set to 450 to 500 degrees temperature.
#2: Chicken Barbeque
Whipping up a grilled recipe isn’t an easy task but knowing which is the best meat to grill on charcoal will help you be more well versed in tackling other recipes. After all, cooking is a continuous learning process. There’s no shame in taking it slow, so our team suggests selecting meats carefully before hitting the grill.

* Don’t continually start and stop your engine. Each start burns about the same amount of gas as one minute of idle time.
* Decrease wind resistance A car caked with mud, snow, or ice will cause drag and burn more gas than a sleek, clean vehicle.
* Don’t leave your engine idling for long periods of time.
* Fill up during the coolest times of day You get more gas in each gallon, because liquids expand in the heat The pumps are measuring gallons, not weight
* Don’t pack more than you need The more weight you carry, the more gas you use
* Don’t use the air conditioner unless necessary. Vehicle air conditioners increase fuel consumption.
* Switch to synthetic motor oil. It reduces engine friction and may make your car a little less ravenous at the gas station. (There are brands available claiming 5% 20% increases in fuel economy.)
* Buy gas with the recommended octane rating. Premium can actually be detrimental to many engines
* Make sure that the gas cap is tight after you fill up Gas evaporates easily you can lose an appreciable amount through an improperly seated cap
How To Save On Gas While Traveling
* Use your feet! Once you get to your destination, walk whenever possible. Walking is how you really get to know an area. Save money, save the environment and have more cash to spend on your vacation!
* Use the manufacturer’s recommended grade of oil. Manufacturer specs are based on what is best for your specific vehicle.
Here are some ways to save money on gas:
* Check your tires before you travel and inflate them to the manufacturer’s recommendations. (Underinflated tires create drag and increase gas consumption. Always carry a tire gauge).
* Pamper your vehicle by ensuring that it goes in for regular tune ups and maintenance. Slight adjustments can mean dramatic fuel savings.
* Never drive on bald tires! Besides being unsafe, they also increase fuel consumption.
* Drive the speed limit on highways speeding devours gas. Activate your cruise control whenever possible, and when cruise is not engaged remember the ‘egg’ trick: drive like you have a raw egg between the floorboards and the gas pedal
Gas prices are higher than ever, making everything go up What it would normally cost us to travel by car is practically doubled right now If you’re traveling by car, you do have some control and can save money
