That 10-20% goes even lower as we age (especially we seniors darn it - :-)) as we have a heck of a lot less stomach acid required to break down these pills and capsules.

Here's a very interesting thought that occurred to me a few years ago that may interest you as well.

After snooping around a little we also learned that four to five crop rotations were planted each year on a single plot of land, intense farming practices have depleted vital nutrients from soil. 99% of us are deficient in minerals...The alarming fact is that foods, fruits, vegetables, and grains now being raised on millions of acres of land no longer contain enough certain needed minerals and are starving us, no matter how much of them we eat.

These deficiencies are showing up in our bodies. You'll find some of common deficiencies at our site if interested. Remember to be certain to take your liquid vitamins daily and combine them if possible with other nutrients.

Finally, seek advice of a tax professional. See my article on taxes and choosing your tax man for some valuable tips and insight into this aspect of your Homebased business.

Whatever your reason(s) for starting a home-based business and whatever kind of endeavor you choose, there are a few common steps you need to take in order to launch your business and be successful.

Right now your first step should be to learn all you can about begining a successful Homebased business. I have written several articles, which I’m turning into an eBook, on all basic tips you need to start your own successful Homebased Business, be it truly “at home” or “on internet”. Check following article list and pick out all you believe would be helpful to you:

1. Do I Really Need A Business Plan.doc 2. Writing A Homebased Business Plan.doc 3. Tax advantages of a homebased business.doc 4. How to Set Up Easy, Efficient Bookeeping.doc 5.

I’ll email your articles to you in MS .DOC format. They’re free. Or go to my website and download complete eBook – for free. But give it until April because its not yet written – it’s still just a plan that needs to come together. The full eBook will have a few more topics and chapters that article list above.

I’m always amazed at number of people who seem to think that magic is somehow created when you put in words "home based" ahead of "business". It's still a business...it just happens to be based in home…and you have to treat it “as a business”, keep regular business hours, and do everything you would do if you went to office in order to have a successful “homebased business”. There simply are no substitutes for hard work and focus.
