I want to invite each of you to join me at a new gathering place for Work at Home Grandmothers, a companion to this blog, that just started today, please click here, and join the community.
I will be promoting the network more after I get used to all the features, but I’m ready for people to become a part right away. Looking forward to seeing you there!
Though my married daughter has not blessed us with a grandchild yet, and I’m not a Grandmom, I do work at home and have for years as a Certified Nutritionist. In this post, I’m sharing just one thing that I offer my clients. If you are involved in health care, or if you are marketing health products, this is something that you may want to offer your clients. The educational resources are wonderful, and the start-up (something you should be VERY careful of when you become involved with a company) is nothing unless you place an order, then there is a $15 fee for your membership kit. But you can join, and have a free website with access to a back office, and sign people up without paying a thing up front. The company provides educational articles on a weekly basis, like the one below:
Stroke is the nation’s third leading cause of death. Stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain stops due to a blood clot or burst blood vessel. According to a new study, being only moderately fit can significantly lower your risk of having a stroke.
The study was led by Steven Hooker who heads the University of South Carolina’s Prevention Research Center in Columbia, SC. The research was reported on February 21, 2008 during Hooker’s presentation at the American Stroke Association’s International Stroke Conference in New Orleans, LA.
For their research, Hooker and his colleagues used data from a study of more than 61,000 adults at the Cooper Aerobics Center in Dallas. After taking a treadmill test, the participants periodically answered health surveys. The latest research divided the group into four levels of fitness and looked at how many of them had strokes after following them for an average of 18 years.
The study found that men in the most fit group enjoyed a 40% reduction for risk of stroke compared to the least fit men. The most fit women enjoyed a 43% reduction in their risk of stroke compared with women in the least fit group. Hooker commented that even those who were moderately fit had a lower risk of stroke and that most people can reach that fitness range by walking briskly for 30 minutes a day, five times a week.
Spring is in the air and it’s time for all of us to put on our walking shoes. Finding 30 minutes a day to walk is easy if you try. Consider an early morning walk, a walk during your lunch break, a walk as soon as you get home from work or right after dinner. Take the dog along – take the kids along - and don’t forget your favorite Wholefood Farmacy snacks for wholesome nutrition and good, clean energy!
I was browsing about on YouTube today, and came across an interesting 91 year old Grandmother who lived during the Depression, and shows you how to cook all kinds of foods cooked during the depression when every penny counted. Here is just one of her videos. I hope you enjoy!
