Common Sources Of Stress: How (not what) You Are Eating.
A common source of stress on your body is how you eat.
So many books and diets deal with WHAT you are eating, but the HOW causes just as much stress on the body and needs to be carefully looked at.
Here are a few problems and solutions to the most common eating habits:
1. How you are eating.
The digestive process starts in the mouth and the purpose it to break the food down into smallliquefiedpieces, mixed with saliva. Is that the start of your digestive process or are you like the typical American and shove large chunks of food in your mouth and swallow them whole?
This process does not allow the food to be digested properly and you need to get into thehabitof CHEWING your food about 30 times before you swallow.
2. Eating too much at once.
Growing up in Europe I can compare the differences in eating patterns between Europe and America. The major difference is the portion size. In America we each eat enough in one meal to feed a small family and we are the fattest nation on earth.
The amount of calories we consume in one sitting is usually enough to last a day if it were spread out and in line withrecommendedguidelines. Also, when you ingest large amounts of carbohydrates it causes a spike in the blood sugar which increases insulin, then the drop makes you feel sluggish once you are done.
Digesting large quantities of food at once also takes up a lot of energy to try and break down all the food and takes energy away from other body functions.
The idea is to eat small meals every 2-3 hours that your body can digest without causing it undue stress.
3. Not eating enough.
Because we eat so much in one sitting, it is common then to go for hours without eating anything. This eating, then starving process causes the body to store food rather than use it. It causes havoc with the blood sugar and insulin levels.
New research shows that if you can keep your insulin levels low, that it will be almost impossible to be fat. But, that requires eating virtually no sugar and carbohydrates. Not as drastic as the Atkins Diet, but having high insulin levels makes it very hard to lose the fat. But that is another discussion in itself.
For now, 3 tips to reduce stress on your body and release more energy are:
1. Chew your food 30 times before you swallow
2. Don't eat too much in one sitting
3. Eat small balanced meals every 2-3 hours to maintain blood sugar and insulin levels.

Re: How does an entrepreneur stay energized?
- Hi there,
This subject is not only for entrepreneurs. Everybody can benefit from this, that is the reason why 'Healthy Living and Eating' is a multi billion Dollar business.
Often I smile, because so much is written about it. So many different business are blooming and doing well. Whilst there is so much knowledge and opportunity to be healthy and well, the need is still growing.
There is so much that could be said. The cheapest form of energy is gained by a good sleep.
Re: Infographic: The 4 Main Stress Factors
- I'd like to reference that article in my next blog post as well.. I worked in sales for years and found that days when I was positive, relaxed where days that it was easy to sell. On days that I was stressed I found I would not reach target. Stress is good at times, but it very easily becomes problematic. I do a lot of very physical exercise and work now, to manage it.
Reality in Television
- [quote="SueB":2xhla35c]I've been watching Cashmere Mafia but not Lipstick Jungle.
What I like about CM is that these incredibly powerful and success business women are imperfect and older. Kudos to Hollywood for hiring 3 lead actresses who are actually 39-40 vs 25 playing older. The 4th is early-mid 30's.... I'm not sure how old the actresses were in Sex and the City when it aired...
Imperfect in that they do have challenges balancing the various aspects of their lives. Take Juliet for instance. She's this high-ranking if not head of some large company (I don't really know what she does) yet she let her husband take care of the money! She probably knows the cash flow particulars for her business though. Common error that many women make but that you wouldn't expect a power woman to make.
In this week's episode I thought it was rather interesting and perceptive of the Mia character to realize that her ex-fiancee Jack could only be with her if he was on the same level career-wise. Otherwise his self-esteem took a beating and he left. Her fear being that this is a pattern that would continue. Mind you, her character didn't do anything to support his self esteem when they were competing for the same position.
Just a few thoughts...[/quote:2xhla35c]
Interesting how they are incorporating real life mistakes that many women make and having their characters do the same things. You gave a couple of very good examples. I can't believe the people - male or female - who turn their paychecks over to their spouse or significant other and have no clue where it goes. I have an aunt that did that for 10+ years and then he husband left - with a large chunk of money she didn't know "they" had. Then she got married some years later and did it again. I wonder sometimes what it takes for people to learn a lesson.

Re: HOw to market a B2B consulting company
- How about providing a white paper on Common security holes (only mention the ones that the prospect can easily and inexpensively fix themselves). Towards the end explain that there are other greater security flaws that exist and that you provide a "Free Security Consultation and Report".
They could use this report to get cheaper quotes but you are getting so much more... you get face time with the company and get to build rapport with them.
I know of a company here in Toronto that does Energy Audits on your home and provide you with a report on ways you can save energy- they also also offer to fix it for you through their suppliers.
they had a story run on them on Earth Day this year and they were bombarded with over 200 calls in one day to have these audits done. The audits are done for free.
You could write up a shocking story on Security and holes that exist within businesses today and submit this story to the newspapers business edition or to a Trade Magazine written for the industry you are trying to serve. Most journalists may pick up this article and feature it or interview you directly.
Also, I would redesign your site to be more Information-based to educate potential prospects (how to solve common security issues) rather than it being all about the company - people are more interested in solving their problem and often aren't searching the internet for a particular company by name unless it is well established. So give them juicy information freely.
note: When I first heard this idea of giving away free information about solving a problem I was hesitant to use it in my web design business. I gave it a try anyways and the amazing part was that even the easy inexpensive things I advised them they could fix in their websites they offered to pay me to do it for them - from there I was able to upsell them on greater improvements. I've since sold this company - but it was fun!

Description:
I actually posted this for sale almost 11 months ago but didn’t take any offers. Since then traffic has increased almost 650% and revenue has increase by almost as much, closer to 600%. Revenue comes from direct advertising ($150-$350 per mo) but primarily Google Adsense ($1500 - $1750 per mo) and Kontera Links ($700-$900 per mo).
Letting go as I’m working full time and just started Business School… I just don’t have the time. However, these sites are ripe for one to build a better business direction.
I started these sites as the pet industry happens to be exploding, exponentially and almost parabolically. Google “pet spending” to find a glimpse. Some articles you’ll find:
“The Growing Pet Industry Is One Trend You Can Bank On”
"In the past 10 years, pet spending has more than doubled to an estimated $38.4 billion for 2006."
"According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the pet industry is now the seventh largest retail segment in the country."
“We have only begun to see the tip of the spending iceberg"
“Pet Spending at All Time High”
"Pet ownership is on the increase in the US, and the amount of money spent on pets is dramatically increasing too."
The two sites are content and community driven websites with 350+ health related articles on pets, a pet blog that discusses current issues, and a very active message board and community. They compliment each other perfectly and as such are being sold together as a package. The templates are completely custom designed and CSS powered. They would be XHTML Strict Compliant however we’ve included a couple of things that just wouldn’t let it pass. There are almost 8000 members between the two sites. Several hundred more between the blog subscribers and the email list subscribers. At one time we had a store (its all still there however it’s been shut off) and we had about 200 customers. The store lasted only about a month and a half as our careers just didn’t allow us to provide the customer service this site deserves. We also had a drop ship company that worked out really well, (and we still do if we want them). Much more work than our careers had time for. The logos are custom. I’ve got the logo in vector version for Signs and tee shirts. The Design is custom. All software front-ends are custom and running clean - open source applications. Runs extremely well.
The entire 2 sites run on a dedicated server that runs about $100 a month.. The sites run on a LAMP environment, meaning Linux, Apache, MySQL and PHP. All of the software is open source and requires no fees. We run PHPLIST, Zen Cart, and SMF Simple Machines Forum. The blog is Word Press. The article system is completely custom however the back end panel is ran simple from phpMyAdmin – straight to the database.
I think there is enormous potential with the two sites as the brands have a very loyal following and is growing by leaps and bounds. It has been mentioned in 10 or so online and offline newspapers (that I am aware of) as well as a magazine – all of which will be provided. The site was featured as Yahoo’s Site of the Week. The site was forever (and perhaps still is) the number one pet site viewed on StumbleUpon.com. The blog also has 177 links from 56 sites according to Technorati.com and ranks 52,000. The database is huge. It’s full of fully owned content, images, customer data, subscriber data, members etc etc. The brand really sells when it comes to tee shirts and calendars. We have a drop shipper when needed that we buy tee’s at 4 dollars a shirt. Each shirt sold for $20 so there was a great margin.
The two sites have a solid existence and are trenched well into all the major search engines with perhaps thousands of first place results for keywords and keyword combinations. The majority of traffic is all organic from Google, Yahoo and MSN and it will stay that way forever. The site was built solidly by SEO pros with Search Engine Spiders in mind as every part of the site is search friendly. All pages have been correctly and lightly coded. The database powers the meta tags, title tags, h1’s, h2’s, image titles and bold tags. The site has tens of thousands of dollars put into the design and functionality.
