Fall Vegetables Can Help Make You Younger

Yellow-orange vegetables like carrots, sweet potatoes, and winter squash are chock-full of carotenoids. Why care about carotenoids? These good-for-you nutrients fight the DNA damage that can make your body old (or sick) before its time.

Moods Can Impact Your Heart

When your emotions get the best of you, your body may suffer the consequences.

Researchers have discovered that depression could nudge heart attack or stroke risk higher. Which means there's no valid reason to nurse a hurting heart on your own.

Is it Time to Take Action?

By Roger Ellerton Phd, ISP, CMC, Renewal Technologies Inc. www.renewal.ca

My good friend and co-NLP trainer, Su Thomas, often relates the following story during our NLP trainings.

A man knocks on the door of a house and while talking with the inhabitants, notices that their dog is sitting in the corner of the yard howling in pain.

"What is the matter with your dog?", the man asks.

"Oh, he is sitting on a nail.", reply the inhabitants.

"Why doesn't he just move?", asks the man in disbelief.

"I guess it doesn't hurt enough.", is the reply.

So what small hurts do you have within yourself or your family? Hurts that you may well complain (howl) about to others, yet not take action that will address the situation.

As you well know, if the dog continues to sit on the nail, over time this minor wound will begin to fester causing much more of a problem. In the longer term this may result in the loss of a limb or even the loss of life.

In the same way, unaddressed issues (wounds) within yourself or your family may in the longer term result in loss of intimacy with the family, losing touch with a dear family member, or in the extreme, the break up (loss) of the family.

He is the author of the book Live Your Dreams Let Reality Catch Up: NLP and Common Sense for Coaches, Managers and You.

Salespeople

Two shoe salespeople were sent to a remote part of the world to open up new markets. Three days after arriving, one salesperson called the office and said, "I'm returning on the next flight. Can't sell shoes here. Everybody goes barefoot."

At the same time the other salesperson sent an email to the factory, telling "The prospects are unlimited. Nobody wears shoes here!"

--

Salesperson: "This computer will cut your workload by 50%."

Office Manager: "That's great, I'll take two of them."
