Be a Tourist in Your Hometown No Place Like Home

You might even find a historical tour that can teach you all about the wonders of your town. Download an app like Eventbrite, or go old-school and check for fun local events in the paper.

Do you dream of adventure? Do you want to see something new, discover someplace interesting, and make memories you’ll cherish forever? Do you still have to be at work on Monday? Finding adventure doesn’t have to mean packing up and trekking across the globe for six months. Being adventurous is all about changing your mindset and looking for the unexpected in the familiar. As you start planning summer vacations, instead of spending a lot of money to be a tourist somewhere else, why not try finding a little adventure at home? Get a Room If you really want to experience your hometown through the eyes of a tourist, try waking up somewhere new. One night in a hotel room or bed-and-breakfast can really put you in the adventuring mindset. Find Local Events Now’s the time to check out the farmers market you’ve been meaning to go to for ages! Then you can swing by that free concert in the park before going to a play at your community theater. Attending local events is a great way to visit places in town you’ve never been before.

Appreciate the Arts There are countless tiny museums and cultural attractions all over the place that most people overlook — especially those who have lived in an area for a while. Does your hometown have interesting art installations on Main Street?What about museums dedicated to strange and supernatural phenomena, parks, historical landmarks, or giant robotic farm animals? Check Yelp.com for lists of popular attractions near you, or ask your friends for suggestions. You might be surprised by what your hometown has to offer. You might be thinking,“This is would be great if I lived somewhere fun!”If you’ve ever thought your town was boring, that’s all the more reason to try being a tourist! Adventures can happen anywhere if you just take that first step out the door.

Who Are You?

Discover Who You Are With DNA Testing

your optimal health mentally, emotionally, and physically. These two tests include:

We hate to break this to you, but you’re becoming your parents. No matter howmuch you try to avoid it, it’s inevitable. Besides picking up on their little quirks, fears, and habits, children can inherit a number of medical conditions from their parents. Anything fromweight distribution to cardiology conditions can stem from the cards your parents dealt to you at birth. For some people, this knowledge isn’t readily available. For whatever reason, plenty of people don’t know who their biological parents, grandparents, or siblings are. Along with emotional and mental tolls, this can also affect a person’s health, because if you know your family’s medical history and background, you have a better chance at preventing diseases that you are genetically predisposed to. For example, some people have a higher genetic predisposition to developing Type 2 diabetes, but external factors, such as diet and exercise, may trigger the gene to“turn on.”This is difficult to avoid when you don’t know your biological family. At NJIB, we offer two types of DNA testing to help patients and their families. This testing is designed to give you and your family answers to questions that may be preventing you from achieving

Familial Testing: This is one of the most common kinds of genetic testing. If you (or a loved one) are ready to know who your biological relatives are, we can test your DNA against another person’s DNA that has been submitted for this analysis. This will help us determine your relation to this person, and in doing so, you could get some answers to some of life’s most pressing questions. Genetic PredispositionTesting: Get a snapshot of what your genes and DNA may be predisposing you to with this test. Our analysts will determine what diseases and conditions your body may be more likely to contract or develop, which will allow you to make prepared and well- thought-out decisions about your health.
