How to be Healthy -- AND Run a Business at the same time!Written by Dr. Mark F. Guilfoyle
As Internet professionals, or just online entrepreneurs trying to run a small business successfully, we are all overworked, tired and stressed out. We often don't eat properly during course of our busy days, we aren't getting good, healthy, restful sleep, and we certainly aren't drinking enough of that elixir of life called WATER.If you're anything like me, you do a lot of TALKING about how you need to improve your health, but not a whole lot of DOING. As a former health professional, I can assure that it IS possible to run a successful online business AND take care of your number one asset, your health. Indeed, it's now possible to combine two -- many people have discovered that they can parlay their newfound interest in their own personal health into successful online health-related businesses! There are, of course, all kinds of advantages to improving your health. You'll have more energy, which means you can work even longer hours, or at least be more productive in hours you do work. Your brain will be less fuddled ... so you will be better at remembering details, solving problems, and even 'crunching numbers' - all of which are required skills for today's busy entrepreneur. I am an Osteopathic physician by trade, but I have always had a keen interest in nutrition. Since I am exposed to small amounts of radiation in my practice on a daily basis, I was interested in ways to minimize its harmful effects, so I began to investigate use of various antioxidants and herbal remedies for my own personal protection.

Making money is cool. Very cool. But fact is that you can't take it with you. As we live in Information Age we must learn new skills AND take advantage of new technologies to maximize our productivity.We're not working at car factory any more. First let me say this very clearly. I am NOT your Mother nor am I trying to put any guilt trips on you. But here's a FACT. You will work better and achieve your goals faster if you are healthy and maintain that health. Not preaching, just practical. There are some simple things you can do to improve yourself or to PREVENT losing your good health. And hey, if you are in your 20's and think you are indestructible, look around at 40 or 50 somethings. You're heading there too. The first thing we can do is TAKE BREAKS from computer. The Net is 24/7, you don't HAVE to be. If you find yourself saying I'll catch up on my sleep on weekends you're kidding yourself. Walk away for a few minutes every hour or so. Good break habits today mean you can do more work tomorrow, whatever your work might be, and make more money. The second thing is to avoid caffeine ADDICTION. The fact is that many of us use caffeine as a little pick me up and that's OK from time to time. But when it becomes a lifestyle, WATCH OUT. Caffeine does lots of nasty things to your body if you get too much of it. Just use common sense and you should be good to go.
