TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS BY TAKING CARE OF YOU!

I read a great line somewhere recently that said 'We spend

all our health while making money - and then have to spend

all our money to regain our health."

America has 76 million baby boomers. Did you know that we

are turning 50 at a rate of one every eight seconds? And did

you know that a HUGE percentage of folks doing business

online today are in that age group?

Well, I don't know about you. I want to be a success in my

business, but I do NOT want to be one of those harried,

stressed-out executives that has no energy, a constant

headache - or worse -- a heart condition, or high blood

pressure. And while we are, as a nation, taking better care

of our health than ever before, there's still a long way to

go.

So in order to take care of business, I've learned how

important it is to take care of ME, and I'd like to pass on

a few of my secrets ...

ENERGY LEVEL

Do you often find yourself looking for a quick boost to help

you get through the day? Many of us turn to a chocolate bar

or a second cup of coffee, when what we really need to do is

step away from the computer, go outside and take ten deep,

satisfying breaths - restoring the level of life-enhancing

oxygen to our brains immediately.

If you are on a tight deadline, and really can't afford to

take the time, try energizing with natural ingredients. Next

time you find yourself yawning over the keyboard, try

anything rich in carbohydrates, B-complex vitamins, vitamin

C or amino acids- these are all energy-boosting options.

STRESS MANAGEMENT

Everybody has stress in life, especially small business

owners -- but some of us respond better to it than others.

If you are a person who can channel deadlines and other

pressures into motivation, then stress will give you the

extra energy and drive you need to get through tough spots.

But if you handle it poorly, stress can negatively impact

your health - and therefore your business. To protect

yourself from potentially harmful long-term effects, look

into relaxation techniques, or burn off some extra energy by

doing regular physical exercise. You may also benefit from

specific homeopathic and herbal ingredients designed to help

manage stress.

MEMORY

Healthy brain function can be affected by poor diet, lack of

adequate sleep or exercise, stress, injury, illness, and

excessive alcohol and sugar intake. Pay close attention to

how any of these things are affecting your ability to

remember important details. If you find you need to provide

additional nourishment for healthy brain function and

memory, the B vitamins and amino acids are key. Nutritional

supplementation may play an important role here, too --

ginkgo biloba and cat's claw, for example, are known to

support memory and mental function.

MENTAL WELL-BEING

Your brain is the 'hard drive' of your entire body,

controlling involuntary tasks such as your heartbeat,

breathing, reflexes and blinking. It contains millions

of nerve cells that send and receive messages through the

activity of chemical messengers called neurotransmitters.

To help promote mental well-being, eat a well-balanced

diet, exercise regularly, learn more ways to combat stress,

and moderate your intake of alcohol and sugar.

Taking care of you will not only nourish your body,

it will reward your senses - and pay business dividends,

in the long run!
