TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS BY TAKING CARE OF YOU!Written by Barb Melloh
I read a great line somewhere recently that said 'We spend all our health while making money - and then have to spend all our money to regain our health."America has 76 million baby boomers. Did you know that we are turning 50 at a rate of one every eight seconds? And did you know that a HUGE percentage of folks doing business online today are in that age group? Well, I don't know about you. I want to be a success in my business, but I do NOT want to be one of those harried, stressed-out executives that has no energy, a constant headache - or worse -- a heart condition, or high blood pressure. And while we are, as a nation, taking better care of our health than ever before, there's still a long way to go. So in order to take care of business, I've learned how important it is to take care of ME, and I'd like to pass on a few of my secrets ... ENERGY LEVEL Do you often find yourself looking for a quick boost to help you get through day? Many of us turn to a chocolate bar or a second cup of coffee, when what we really need to do is step away from computer, go outside and take ten deep, satisfying breaths - restoring level of life-enhancing oxygen to our brains immediately. If you are on a tight deadline, and really can't afford to take time, try energizing with natural ingredients. Next time you find yourself yawning over keyboard, try anything rich in carbohydrates, B-complex vitamins, vitamin C or amino acids- these are all energy-boosting options. STRESS MANAGEMENT Everybody has stress in life, especially small business owners -- but some of us respond better to it than others. If you are a person who can channel deadlines and other pressures into motivation, then stress will give you extra energy and drive you need to get through tough spots.

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.
