Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids Promote Eye Health

A diet high in Omega 3 Essential Fatty Acids promotes healthy eyes among many additional benefits. Researchers from the National Eye Institute in Bethesda found that a diet rich in Omega 3 Fatty Acids could retard the progression of lesions in a mouse model of AMD (Age related Macular Degeneration). The Fatty Acids were also associated with the improvement in some lesions.

“The results in these mice are in line with the epidemiological studies of AMD risk reduction by long chain Omega 3 Fatty Acids,” wrote the researchers in the American Journal of Pathology.

It is known that Omega 3 Fatty Acids, and particularly DHA, play an important role in the layer of nerve cells in the retina, and studies have already reported that Omega 3 may protect against the onset of AMD.

Until Next Week,

Best Wishes for Ultimate Health and Majestic Dreams!!!

Changes You Can Make to Increase Business Profits

Have you ever heard that 30 percent of all drinkable water gets wasted on the way to the consumer by leaky pipes? Likewise, your business may be letting potential revenue drip away, to be lost forever, all over the place. Here are a few suggestions to help make sure you are taking best advantage of all the opportunities for earnings that would be arriving safely if you only plugged up those holes.

Improve your follow-up. According to the National Sales Executive Association, only about two percent of sales occur on the first contact. Eighty percent of sales require at least five contacts before the transaction occurs. That means that if you put out your sales message just once or twice, you're barely out of the gate. Those who might eventually buy are hardly even beginning to pay attention. You must repeat that message again and again before it wakes up busy people to what you are offering.

Put your marketing activities on schedule with a plan. There are a lot of businesses bedeviled by the "feast or famine" syndrome, where they stop marketing when times are good and therefore have no pipeline in place bringing them new leads when the economy slows down. They get busy marketing, but there's a time lag before new business comes in, and when it does, they stop marketing once more, keeping the cycle going. Instead, invest time or money in creating a marketing plan that tells you what to do each week or month to keep business continually flowing in. If it's too much for you to handle, hire assistants or outsource it to hungry but competent colleagues.

Stop unproductive marketing activities, boosting your profits. Advertising pros know that most advertising doesn't work, but they continue to spend like crazy because part of it does. If you can identify which marketing efforts of yours are not giving you a return, and stop spending money and energy on those, you'll be earning more from what you spend. Admittedly, it can be difficult sometimes to pinpoint what actually brings in customers and clients. However, if you begin asking each new buyer how they heard about you and keep track of the answers, patterns almost always emerge.

Market more often to your customer base - much more often. Hardly anyone stays in touch with existing and past customers often enough. They think they might be "bothering" their clientele by letting them know about new products, opportunities to buy before a price increase, success stories of other customers like them, and so on. On the contrary, staying in touch ensures that you stay in the awareness of people who have done business with you before, so that when they need you again, they come to you rather than go to your competitors.

Hire help for mechanical tasks or a virtual assistant to help manage communications. Feeling overwhelmed? If you can make, let's say, $100 an hour doing what you do best, you should not be spending too much energy on routine things like stuffing envelopes, doing errands like going to the bank and the copy shop or putting together slides for your upcoming lecture. Instead, pay someone $25 an hour to get those to-do's accomplished and free you up to get more high-paid work accomplished. An exception to this principle is when you do the repetitive tasks as a break or rest from money-making activities that tire you out. Increasing your productivity means increasing the income from your business without spending more hours working.

Get started on at least one of the above today.
