The Best Way to Balance Your Body Is Through Natural Nutrition

Why is my body to out of whack? Well, when you think about it, why shouldn’t it be? Our bodies were made to live off of the “fruit of the land”. This, by definition, means that is was only meant to digest natural nutrition. Our bodies were not designed to deal with chemical additives such as preservatives. We were also not meant to eat hormonally enhanced beef or chicken.

Science has proven that eating these items are necessary in order to ensure that there is enough food for everyone to eat, and to keep them from spoiling and causing health issues. However, at what price do these alterations come? Yes, we are not suffering any immediate or major health repercussions when we are eating these foods instead of natural nutrition. But, what if our bodies are changing because of our continually pushing these additives into our digestive system? Also, if our bodies are changing, are these changes for the better? How are these foods benefiting us more than if we were to eat a diet of natural nutrition?

“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it! A hundred years ago, we ate a diet of total natural nutrition. So, why the sudden change with using chemicals, preservatives, and genetics? Many people will argue that it is due to increased population that we must use these items instead of natural nutrition. How else could we generate enough food for everyone to eat in the world, and ensure that it doesn’t spoil on the shelves before we eat it? However, the answer is simpler than you realize.

The answer is money. Money is the reason that our diets have strayed from one of total natural nutrition. With so much money lost on food products due to insects and spoiling, the quest for coming up with more effective numbers was born. First there were insecticides, which gave any farmer an advantage over others due to their being able to sell more of their crops. Then there were genetically engineered vegetables, so that they could withstand disease, harsher weather, and spoiling. Lastly there were hormonally enhanced animals that would have more meat, since all meats are sold by the pound. However, is all of this non-natural nutrition efficiency paying off in the end, or are we simply weakening the human genome?

Our bodies are perfectly balanced machines. It is hard to find a more complex organism on the planet. Our bodies are perfect in almost every way, save cellular decay which leads to aging. We were actually meant to eat bacteria, and our bodies were made to deal with those bacteria. With so many anti-bacterial preservatives, anti-bacterial soaps, and anti-bacterial sprays, how are our bodies’ immune systems faring? We are meant to deal with bacteria found in natural nutrition and our immune systems are meant to adapt and change accordingly. But, with using so many anti-bacterial products, the only thing that seems constant is that bacteria are growing more and more potent, while our immune systems are not.

Consuming a diet of natural nutrition will bring your body back to center. More and more studies are being done every year on the affect of hormonally, chemically, and genetically altered meats and vegetables. Some of the reports are serious enough to convince a large portion of the American consumers to start buying organic, or unaltered food products, and to eat a diet of all natural nutrition. Thus, a whole new consumer market, and thus consumer marketing, division is created!

My grocery list consists of natural nutrition items, including many fruits and vegetables, instead of buying packaged or canned items. I have seen a significant change in my energy levels, as well as a much more consistent and regular bowel schedule. Organic meats, eggs, milk, and cheeses are also available at most supermarkets and grocery chains. Yes, the prices are usually premium prices, but the benefits of eating a natural nutrition diet are definitely worth it. “You get what you pay for” is an expression that I have always found to be true when dealing with 99% of the products available to consumers. The benefits of natural nutrition are worth your time and money.

Natural nutrition will benefit you and your children. A great deal of the motivation behind all natural nutrition products are our children. A child’s immune system and rapidly growing bodies are hungry for nutritional foods. Getting ill is a natural part of the healthy development of our immune systems when we are young as well. A sniffle is not the enemy. Plus, scientists are not sure as to how hormonally altered products affect a mother’s milk that she is feeding to her baby each day. The truth is that we, as consumers, don’t know the affects of not eating a natural nutrition diet. We have survived and thrived for centuries on an all natural nutrition diet, and would continue to do so if we maintained this diet of natural nutrition. However, we cannot for certain say the same for ourselves if we don’t.

How to Write Your Real Estate Marketing Plan

It is imperative for every real estate marketing plan to have an established business plan as well. The business plan steers real estate marketing efforts to a direction one has envisioned. Instead of vague goals and limited information, the company or the individual knows just how to get there.Before writing the contents of a marketing plan or (if it has already been set in motion) before taking it to the next level, here are a few pieces of advice to consider:Simplicity is efficiency. As much as possible, avoid getting caught up in a web of procedures, strategies and tools that are too complicated to implement. Simplicity is still the best recourse. A simple marketing plan is easy to implement because the provisions or attendant requisites are not that difficult to understand. Complicated plans tend to be ambiguous, thus causing implementation issues. It is also an advantage to accommodate and implement a plan that is simple because loopholes and other such errors are easy to spot and correct.Tie it to a goal. In the process of implementation, remember the goals originally set out in the business plan. These goals are guideposts as well as constant reminders that will help launch a set of marketing strategies. The marketing plan must always be in congruent with the business plan.Be firm and flexible. It is challenging, but if a company, an agent or a broker manages to formulate a marketing plan that is both flexible and firm, it is easier to learn to adapt. Flexibility is the ability to change with the constantly changing marketplace. A marketing plan which is flexible and at the same time firm provisions is resilient to unpredictable supply and demand patterns and can shift gears without falling prey to collateral damage.Formulating and writing a marketing plan involves a few things:First, draw out all thoughts and ideas that come to mind. Using a mind map or a concept map can be very helpful. Leave no stones unturned. Account for every perception brought forth. Even if some of these may not be of use for the present, they can always be utilized for future use. Be open to anything and everything. During brainstorming stage, all ideas are correct. What matters is that a bunch of these ideas can address present issues.Secondly, organize and select. A disorderly marketing plan is doomed to fail. Streamline ideas generated during brainstorming. Select those that are applicable to present circumstances. Do not discard those that are not applicable. Store them in an easily retrievable file folder or device as they can still be used for future brainstorming sessions.The third step is to create real estate marketing strategies suitable to identified needs. Such strategies should also be mindful of other factors like existing resources, area/s of concentration or specialty (i.e. residential homes, condominiums, memorial lots, etc.), target audience and the like. For instance, if area of concentration is residential, it is best to use a strategy that can capture the essence of a home so that it easily appeals to families or people planning to build a family. The company or individual may opt to produce real estate notepads shaped like houses. Another option would be to use real estate marketing postcards designed in such ways as to earn the sympathy and/or appreciation of homey individuals or those individuals who would rather live in houses instead of condominiums.Document. Fourth and final step, depending on preference, is to document everything. Incorporate all components of the final marketing plan in a single document. This will serve as a guidebook of sorts whenever you feel the need to revise the plan or take it to the next level.By Sara Goldman, PowerRealEstateMarketing.com
