Nutrition & Children (Back to School)

For many students the month of August is Back to School month. We as parents are doing all the necessary things to prepare our kids to have their best year. Clothes, school supplies, backpacks and more! Oh and of course vaccinations and physicals must be done.

The most important detail for many are left out and that is in the form of nutrition. It's really a blessing to get compliments from the teachers that our children are rarely sick and eat very healthy. Although as a child that wasn't the case for me due to being anemic. So I had to take a vitamin and iron everyday of my life and I was sick alot. No parent wants that for their child.

This month will focus on back to school. What are you doing in the area of nutrition for your child? Don't even get me started on the school lunch program. As my kids say, "Uck". We are dedicating our blog this month to the children. To not just help them prepare for the classroom but prepare their insides for all the germs that will be lurking in the byways and hallways...lol!

With our food supply being so processed and the choices for school lunches are next to nothing. We make sure our children supplement to have the most optimal health during the school year. That is why our teenagers took The Body Rox and our youngest son took The Usanimals. Usanimals provides one of the best antioxidant complexes available for protection against oxidative stress among supplements for children 24 months to 12 years old* Body Rox provides the same just for older kids ages 13+.

So don't just get all the tools they need on the supply list make sure to include the most important tool of all for cellular health.

Three Things To Look For In A Weightloss Program

If you are reading this article, you have probably already tried a number of weight loss systems in the past - and furthermore, if you have tried a number of weight loss systems, this is probably because you have not yet found one with which you can achieve success. If this is a position you find yourself in, the first thing you can find solace in is the fact that you are not alone; in fact, the reason why weight loss is such a popular search item on the Internet - and is such a lucrative industry - is because so many people find themselves in the same position you are in! Furthermore, you will be able to find solace in the fact that your failure thus far to get down to the weight you want to reach is not at all an indication that it is impossible for you to achieve success in this area; in fact, you can absolutely achieve success - as long as you hook up with the right system!

The first thing you need to keep your eyes open for - as you search for the right system for you - is one that allows you to lose those extra pounds in a safe manner; after all, a lot of programs that are designed to help you reach the weight you want to reach actually put you in a position where you will achieve your goals far too quickly - and while this might feel good when you step on the scale, it will be very bad for your body in the long run.

The next thing to make sure you are looking for, when trying to find the perfect approach for you, is that the program or system you hook up with is actually effective; this might sound obvious on the surface, of course, but what many people fail to realize is that a lot of the "miracle" programs out there are really only helping people lose muscle weight and water weight - which is actually worse than losing no weight at all!

And finally, realize that it is entirely possible to lose weight easily, especially if you are willing to have a bit of patience; look for a system or approach that will enable you to eat foods you enjoy eating - and to not kill yourself at the gym every day - while still becoming more and more healthy over time. When it comes down to it, every single person has the ability to lose weight (even if it does not exactly feel this way to you at times), and as long as you hook up your efforts with the right system or approach for you - and as long as you are willing to keep at it, realizing that patience is required, but that this patience will pay off - you will find the pounds melting off you, and will soon be back to the body you want to have!

So you want to work from home?

That's the question I ask individuals who call me with "I hate my boss" (sorry bosses) or "I want to quit my job". When most people learn I "work from home" I get comments like, "you're good, I couldn't sit at home all day" or "that would drive me crazy". I just chuckle because they are saying that but if they knew they could do whatever they wanted, whenever they wanted and with whomever they wanted and still make an income, we wouldn't be having that conversation. Work from home, home-based just means that it is your main place to use your computer, phone, etc. But know with smartphones and iPads your business is wherever you are.

My goal is to bring some understanding to this incredible Industry. Why? Because so many people are struggling and have no idea that your answer may be right under you nose. Yeah, I know your brother or friend is getting on your last nerve about trying his product...lol! I get it. I know you are looking at the Caller ID when they call. Many have tainted it and left a bad taste in so many people's mouth. As I look back I see where we said things that we didn't think before we said them. Not because we were trying to "scam" someone but because we were so excited and wanted EVERYONE to feel the hope we felt after living in hopeless situations. Now is this profession for everyone? No! It is only for those who want more than a paycheck, more than living a mediocre life and certainly more than what our parents had. It's for people who want to make other people's lives better and don't mind someone else succeeding ahead of them. Oh, and it is for people who don't have a problem with being compensated for it and make no apologizes for it;) If you are that person telling your friend or family member..."but you are making money from it". Well, go to your boss and tell them you want to donate your check and continue working...lol! Aint' gonna happen!

This profession is Network Marketing, Direct Sales, MLM whatever it is that you call it.  We have Doctors, Lawyers, Pastors, Nurses, Military men and women, Professional Athletes, etc. who have made the decision to join. You may be thinking, "why would they do such a thing?" Well, one of the reasons is their time is not their own. It is dictated by someone else. We may have had the income but no time to spend it with family or had the title but no recognition, no pat on the back and then given a pink slip. Another reason are the great tax advantages of running a home-based business. When we tell people all the fun things we get to write off, they're shocked.

So how do you find the right business for you. Ask yourself some questions. What are you passionate about? Health, Fitness, Cooking, or Candles? A few questions I ask are. 1. Are you teachable? 2. Can you get passionate about Health and share it with others? 3. Do you a desire to see others succeed. Do research and go ask someone who is doing it. Would I ever have thought I would be doing what I am doing NEVER. LOL! But through researching, trusting God, we found the products and a company that we could stand behind and who stand behind us for the past 8 1/2 years. Thank you God! A good book to get is The Business of the 21 Century by Robert Kiyosaki & John Fleming. Mind-blowing!

Many of you are drowning in debt, drowning in relationships, drowning in jobs and careers that you hate. This industry has changed lives, has brought hope back into the lives where there was no hope. Prayer is a great weapon and God loves the person who puts the work in after that prayer. So if you are praying for a solution to your health, your financial situation or a job. Go talk to that friend, brother or neighbor and ask them what are they doing? How were they able to walk away from that job, improve their health or pay off that car? Their answer might surprise you. Until next Friday, be you, be happy and be free!
