Are French Fries and Ketchup Categorized As Vegetables?

Two common vegetables kids in the United States eat are French Fries and Ketchup.  Now, would you honestly believe and categorize French Fries as a serving of vegetables?  Is Ketchup a vegetable?  Some do actually.  Don’t get me wrong, they taste really good with an American Cheeseburger, but is it adequate for our health needs?  Is it adequate for our children’s needs?

I do understand a burger, fries and a coke is a tasty treat and typically done as a lunch or dinner but with the current obesity problem, it’s doing more harm than good, would you agree?  Yes it’s cheap!  Obesity rates is expected to go up in the USA during the current Economy because it is simply cheaper to go to McDonald’s than it is to go to the Grocery Store and buy some good wholesome fruits and vegetables.  I have heard, and correct me if I’m wrong that two pears are more expensive than a full meal in McDonald’s.  So, a struggling mother would be able to feed her children at McDonald’s more so than simply going to the grocery store.  Completely understandable but gosh, we got to weigh in the pros and cons here as many Americans are horizontally challenged.

Most Americans lay awake at night worrying health and finances as it was polled back in 1997 and today its the same thing.  So, in order to provide our children and ourselves the best health money can buy is simply to make more money.

Mannatech, Inc. is a Reasearch and Development Nutrition Company that develops Real Food Technology Solutions.  Their mission is to provide better solutions to global health through natural and effective wellness products.  Mannatech, Inc, choose Network Marketing as their Marketing  vehicle which is proving to be very effective.

Why is Network Marketing Effective when it comes to health and nutrition?

#1. Network Marketing with Mannatech allows the Customer to be educated about health and their products more than what they can learn at the typical nutrition store (Mannatech products are not sold in stores).  There are plenty of research and background behind Mannatech Products and Seminars are given to ensure that each customer as well as their associates to fully understand the importance of health, dietary supplements and the benefits of Mannatech products.  The American Medical Association stated in their journal that it is imperative to supplement now because most nutrients are not found in the modern diet.  It makes sense!  Treats like Happy Meals don’t have that much nutrients hence the importance of supplementation for kids as well as for adults (some adults actually order Happy Meals too, because of the toys…)

#2. Network Marketing with Mannatech, Inc. allows associates to earn income to offset their monthly product needs.  They call it their free wellness for life program.  Perhaps if they want to earn a little more income to increase their grocery budgets, Mannatech and Independent Associates will provide help and training to achieve that.  And if they want to earn and match their current annual income, there is that option as well.  The individual Customer and Associate decides that.

So Mannatech knows the importance of health and finances.  To be healthy in our society today, you will have to be able to afford it.  Simple as that.  If you don’t believe that, then your kidding yourself.   That’s the truth!  Robert Kiyosaki said it’s wake up time!  Time to be financially literate.  We can be financially literate and healthy at the same time because our health is our wealth.  Cheers!

They will know how to get you started.  If me and my team are the ones that introduced you to Mannatech, you can contact us here and we will help you with Mannatech’s Health Solutions and Financial Solutions.

A modern take on Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence People (via Risk + 2.0)

This is good advice for all of us!

A modern take on Carnegie's How to Win Friends and Influence People [Photo by Aidan Jones via Flicker] Carnegie wrote his masterpiece How to Win Friends and Influence People in 1936, but he could have written it in 20,000 BC and it would have been relevant then – and today. The underlying message is that being social and cultivating respect from others is the key pathway to reaping rewards in both your business and personal life. Web 2.0 hasn’t changed a thing. In fact, Carnegie’s ideas may be more important toda … Read More

Health Benefits of Dietary Fiber

LifeStyle Living promotes good health and wellness in hope of all of us looking and feeling good so in turn we’ll all have the capacity and drive to succeed in other areas of our lives.  I believe a healthy body and a healthy mind is the most important asset anyone owns.  And guess what, we got it for free! Right?  We didn’t pay to be born, but we were fed, clothed and educated and in most cases, not all,we got paid (through allowances).  Now taking care of this body is our #1 responsibility,  #2 would be taking care of ourselves and others (i.e. family) through our jobs or businesses:  the finances.

There was a poll  in 1997 which asked what kept you awake at night?  The  top reasons was health and finances.  Today, isn’t it the same?  So, that is why we are talking about something very important today like Fiber and the health benefits of dietary fiber.  It is known that many people do not eat enough fiber in their diets so this is a must know.

Fiber comes from whole wheat grains and brans as well as fruits and vegetables we eat. I eat plenty of fresh mangos, pineapples, and other various fruits I get at the supermarket.   Whenever possible, I choose wheat bread rather than white.  Although white surely tastes better.  But as a treat, White buns are better on an American Cheeseburger than anything else eh…

Fiber can benefit proper digestion because it acts as a prebiotic which supports the good bacteria in our digestive system called probiotics. Pro because it is good and biotics basically means bacteria (yogurt is a good source of probiotics as well as Yakult if you are in Asia). Fiber also supports the growth of colon cells for good colon health.

Fiber also helps a healthy immune system. Scientists believe that over 70% of your immune system resides in the intestinal tract so its very important to take care of your digestive system. It also helps with the elimination of environmental toxins, it also helps you poop better, and suppresses diseased cells in the intestinal tissue.

Fiber can help you with controlling blood glucose levels because it influences the rate of absorbtion of sugars in the intestinal walls. Low glycemic fruits and veggies are high in fiber. Makes sense?

Fiber can help control blood cholesterol levels because it binds bile acids in the intestines, which slows cholesterol absorbtion.

And I’m sure this will be a popular reason to eat foods high in fiber because fiber can help control food consumption hence controlling your body weight. Why? It enhances the feeling of fullness and lowers calorie intake.

So, I hope these few tid-bits will help you in your LifeStyle Living.  What ever your LifeStyle would be so long as you are happy, healthy, wealthy (no use being happy and healthy and broke), and wise.  Cheers!

A Cure for Boredom and Depression

This is a cure for boredom and depression folks. Great Show!!!

Chuck is funny! Well, Chuck the show is funny! It’s exciting too, filled with action and suspense. Chuck is also dramatic yet filled with so much fun! Where else can you have a show with a pretty spy, funny Jeffsters, a Captain Awesome and a Nerd Herd like the real life Geek Squad. Chuck is enough to treat your boredom and depression if you have any. Well, at least for the hour you are watching it. Though, many pinoys have the entire season collection, so Chuck Marathons is quite a norm.

I say Chuck is a cure for boredom and depression because I got cured the other day. They say laughter and happiness is the best cure for anything.

Cheers!!!

Wellness in a Health Perspective

In today’s world, more and more people are looking for ways to look younger, reverse the effects of aging and to simply perform better as we all age. Us LifeStyle People are no different. We are all in this Wellness Revolution as economist and Wellness Guru Paul Zane Pilzer wrote in his book, The Wellness Revolution.

Gen Y – born in 1981 or after typically looks for increased performance. Gen Xer – born between 1965 and 1980 like me, typically looks for increase performance as well as to alleviate aches and pains. And Baby Boomers, born between 1946 – 1964 want it all! And, they want to restore youthful vitality and increase memory capacity too. You know what?… during college, I hoped for increased memory capacity also.

People are really getting geared into taking a proactive approach into our own health as well as others. We all are starting to get information about wellness through blogs like this, seminars and a ton of reading material that gives us advice about health.

The Baby Boomers play a major role in this because they have the need and they have the want. In the Wellness Revolution, us intelligent consumers, young and old are looking for great products that will help us age better, look younger, perform better as well as keeping it all natural and non-toxic. Hey, natural is the way to go! So long that your All-Natural products work and if it is indeed all natural. Proper exercise and diet is a must as well. Can’t do it with products alone.

This is what the Wellness Revolution is. The recognizing the importance of maintaining our vibrant and optimal health as well as taking proactive measures and focusing on prevention rather than just waiting… Right?!! This is our  healthcare reform!

Social Media Revolution Updated

Social Media Revolution 2 is a refresh of the original video with new and updated social media & mobile statistics that are hard to ignore. Based on the book Socialnomics by Erik Qualman.

I have been hearing form books and literature that it is essential to have Social Media being in business today from Blogs, Facebook, YouTube…  Getting out there means you are reaching your customers and  your potential customers.  Your customers are also  your business partners.  They will give you ideas about how you are doing and how to make things even better.  This idea came from the book “What Would Google Do?” LifeStyle Living Entrepreneurs!  You gotta watch this.

What Is Omega-3?

A part of LifeStyle Living is using brands that have the best value, knowing the important details of what we should take towards our vibrant optimal health.  One of my customers often says that her health is her wealth.  It is so true!

Today’s segment is to answer the question on what is Omega-3.  Omega-3 is an unsaturated fatty acid essential for overall good health, especially for brain and heart health.  Just look in the internet and you’ll see many articles about why Omega-3 is important.  Doctors highly recommend taking Omega-3 to their patients.  Furthermore, Omega-3 is great for those of us looking to take a proactive approach into our own health.

There are many brands out there.  A good brand to take come’s from Nordic Naturals typically sold in GNC and they come in various prices.   However, I know I am biased, but I highly suggest Essential Source Omega-3 from Mannatech.  LifeStyle Living is about taking the best possible products out there.  In my opinion, Mannatech has the best natural products out there.  The facts and the research shows it.

It’s ultra pure making it a really clean fish oil supplement to take.   Though, back in the old days when our cows and chickens was free roaming, that is how the people got their Omega-3.  Now most of our meats are farmed and they are fed grains and oats which lack the important nutrients.  But fish are still free roaming, eating algae rich Omega-3 and we eat the fish/fish oil supplement to get our Omega-3.  Mannatech’s Essential Source Omega-3 is also very potent.  We need potentcy today.  In today’s world, we need more support to maintain our good health.  Essential Source Omega-3 is the only Omega-3 I have taken, but I have heard with other products that there was an issue with fishy aftertaste or fish burp, but this product addressed that.  Also, we are facing environmental problems and I am so glad that this fish oil product is also environmentally friendly.  Great right?  I made a video below about Essential Source Omega-3.  Enjoy!

If you have the time, please let me know your comments below.  I’d love to know what you think.  I would truly appreciate it.

Questions & Answers on OsoLean

People today are looking for a safer and more effective way to lose fat;  fight the battle of the bulge and WIN!  They are looking to achieve a healthier LifeStyle.  It is known that excess fat can lead to many challenges so in a health standpoint, it is most important to stay lean.  Socially, it’s good too.  To me, being lean made me more confident about myself. I hated the fact that someone pointed to my tummy as if i was the Pillsbury Doughboy at one point.  That jerk!

Below, I made a video about the some of the most commonly asked questions about OsoLean.  I personally take OsoLean myself and I recommend to everyone.  It’s such a great product.  Check it out!

The eastern cultures and the old way of thinking is that being fat resembles wealth.  Today it is much the opposite.  Typically the more wealth people have the more concious they are towards their own personal health.  Wealthy people take a proactive approach to their health (they can afford it).  They focus on prevention and looking & feeling great!  I would assume they do this to enjoy the fruits of their labor.  They deserve it!

You should too! Regardless of where you are in life, whether you are just starting out in your career or working on your career especially in pursuit of being wealthy you got to start taking OsoLean.  You got to look great right?  Live absolutely well and let OsoLean help get you leaner.  That is LifeStyle Living folks! LifeStyle Living is about being healthy and wealthy.  You can’t have one without the other.  You can’t be incredibly healthy and incredibly broke right?  I take Robert Kiyosaki’s advice, he says it’s wake up time! Learn and develop your financial IQ then you can afford to be healthy!
