15 Power Foods To Boost Your Business

15 Power Foods To Boost Your Business: "

It often takes effort to stay focused and be productive as a small business owner.

A good diet can go a long way towards making your business a success. Eating the right foods can give you energy, focus and improve your mood, not to mention your health. Drinking coffee will give you a temporary boost of energy and focus, but won’t give you the nutrition you need. Plenty of water is always a good idea no matter your diet.

To help guide you in choosing the best foods for snacks and meals for productivity in business, we’ve listed 15 to get you started. While some of these power foods may not be healthy in large amounts, it goes back to the old saying: everything in moderation. Consider these foods for business success:

• Whole grain bread: Much better than white bread in providing energy and nutrients whether eaten by itself or used for toast or sandwiches.


• Whole wheat pasta: A good source of complex carbohydrates to give your body an energy boost, and can be broken down easily.


• Vegetable juice: Provides a quick energy boost and vegetable servings and the same time.


• Fresh salads with vinaigrette: You may want to opt for fresh vegetables, and using vinaigrette for salads helps the body absorb protein and nutrients longer, which improves focus.


• Bananas: Provide potassium, vitamin C, complex carbohydrates, and energy.


• Avocados: Contain fats that add to heart and brain health, promoting blood flow. Great for sandwiches and salads.


• Eggs: Contain protein and cholin needed for the brain to develop motor functions and memory.


• Apples: Great source of vitamin C to help the blood vessels and overall health. A great snack or addition to salads and other foods.


• Grapes: Inexpensive and healthy. A great source of vitamins A, C, B6 and folate. Also provide magnesium and iron.


• Walnuts: Good source of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, vitamin B6, and other nutrients for brain health.


• Almonds: Also a good source of vitamins and protein.


• Salmon: Often called “brain food” (as with other fish), a source of good fatty acids and protein for heart and brain health.


• Green tea: Inexpensive source of caffeine, energy and a great mood booster.


• Air-popped popcorn: It may not be the most filling, but a quick snack that’s healthier than potato chips.


• Dark chocolate: It may seem counterintuitive, but when eaten in small amounts can help curb your appetite while helping digestion and improving your mood and focus.

America is for Sale so what are you doing about it?

Is America for Sale? As I listened to the news over the last week; a question was asked as to 1) what brought us here? 2) Did the media perform their job as good whistle blowers? So I began to do a little research; As I began to read various reports, news, insights into a growing crisis as early as 2006 some earlier as 1999, I realized that 1) We brought ourselves to this point and 2) The media did their job of letting us know there was a storm coming. Now, what went wrong in my opinion is that we were too high on the hog and so didn't think such a calamity would befall us. Well we are here and our eyes are no longer "WIDE SHUT" the question is will we see a For Sale sign on the white house lawn? God forbid! And what can we do about it?Well, In the President's own words "let's not begin to stuff our mattresses". What can we do to thwart or rather counteract the ever increasing acquisition of our treasury is to engage in such actions ourselves. America as we know it is apparently undergoing a hostile take-over by foreign entities. Are these entities friend or foe? Only time will tell. But let's not wait for time. Let's start buying back our country dollar for dollar. Things are hard time is tough Yes! However, we would be getting control of our future and not leaving everything to our government to fix. We did it; we got way above our means and refused to listen. Unfortunately, some of us have still not learned! We the People of the United States of America should start to look into ways to regain our country and pride. Not look to point the finger but look to offer a helping hand. Help ourselves get out of debt; Treasury bonds, Take stock in our children's children future. We have wasted ours However; we do not have to throw away theirs. There have been recent cases were families are returning to the fields just to make ends meet, Some of us who have lost jobs are quickly learning and acquiring new skills, don't just sit by haphazardly and wither away into the night. Remember, why America is America and fight to keep it that way.

Good relations is just Good Business!

This last week has been quite interesting for me. I have proofed that a good relations and people skills goes a long way. But most importantly just calling a business partner or colleague to ask How is your day? Would you like some coffee?.... Does wonders when its time to do business.

Sometimes we get so caught-up in the rush that we fail to realize that companies we are having daily interactions with are in fact people. People that get upset, tired, frustrated, burnt-out, happy etc. just like we do. There's a ritual that I do in the mornings that seems to have taken a life of its own. Before starting the daily work chores (reading emails, fixing problems, correcting files etc.) I would 1) Grab a fresh cup of coffee then 2) make my rounds- as I call it; During that time I would greet everyone as such "Good morning! Heh, haven't seen you in the last 24hrs!" this has become my signature and it's a meaningful one(keypoint) Why? because I would stop to listen and offer relevant solutions or input to the conversation. So here comes the proofing part.

This week I had to acquire needed supplies that was over budget for the period. Instead of getting the usual; Nope! can't do it; I was rather surprised by a quick signature and no explanation needed. Now another party tries to do the same and it became"Who are you? That's too much! you are not authorized!" Ofcourse there was ample amount of funding allotted for moments as this; However, the final decision to spend or not to spend resides with the one writing the check. Since my relations goes far beyond the point of just dropping by when I want something. During the time of need I was rewarded because of the previous relationship that was created with nothing to expect or desired in return.

As such with good relations, we all should strive to greet our customers, friends, family, colleagues with a simple and meaningful "Hi! how are you?" have something to offer with no expectations in return goes a long way in building good rep. Hell, they may even surprise you with a sale or two; when you least expect it. So relax great them, treat them, adjust your morning ritual around the office. Ha! at a bare minimum you'll get a little exercise. Ofcourse that does not hurt either; but I will leave Health & Exercise for another post. :).

Good relations is just good business.!

When you are ready to relax Shop at Len Enterprise-Health Bath Body Spa Essentials you'll find great gift ideas to treat them. Gift Baskets, Aromatherapy and Essential Oils. Heh! you may even save a penny or two.
