Can you relate to this dilemma?

I sit on my keister too many hours each day while I’m working. With the holidays coming, I’m a little worried about it … growing.

Without getting into too many details about my keister, we’ll just say that it’s definitely not the best thing for any keister to be sitting too long each day and leave it at that.

Do you spend too much time in your swivel chair, too?

That got me thinking. A lot of my time sitting is spent listening to recorded teleseminars to boost my business.

So, I decided that I’d use the teleseminars as an excuse to get Skinny, Sexy and Smart all at the same time! How? By getting an mp3 player and listening and learning while I walk or run.

Of course, the first player I looked at was the Ipod which is awesome and comes in a lot of different colors that would look great with my walking shoes — but, the Ipod is pretty expensive. I didn’t know if I would be THAT dedicated to walking just yet, even though I was really drooling over the green one. If you have the cash to spend on the Ipod, then go
for it. I’ll be green with envy if you do.

I checked into some more options and found a cool little mp3 player that was a fraction of the price. I received it last week, and I love it! It’s working just fine for what I need.

The first thing I did when I got my mp3 player was to start a file with about 20 hours of audios that I had saved up from a bunch of speakers who I admire. Talks on getting traffic, improving my copywriting, and writing e-books … that fun kind of stuff that really gets us Internet Marketers fired up, and puts the rest of the world to sleep.

So, needless to say, I’ve got a lot of walking ahead of me. I’m feeling like Forrest Gump. I may start running … and never stop.

If you’re dreading the holiday weight gain, but don’t want to take time away from your business, an mp3 player might be a good investment for you, too. Definitely shop around, if
you’re on a tight budget. There are a lot of options available and the prices on the lower end are very affordable. Ask Santa to help you multi-task to be a Sexy and Smart WAHM, too.

Minor adjustments to your everyday routine can yield enormous results when it comes to preventing asthma attacks. How you ask. Let’s look at just one kind of asthma. Extrinsic, or allergic, asthma is instigated by environmental triggers. Most childhood asthma falls in the extrinsic category. It is more frequent in boys than girls. Asthma is the most common childhood illness, accounting for 10 million lost school days annually. Asthma affects 5 million children in the U.S.

Common culprits are:

-air conditioning

-air pollution, including atmospheric ozone

-animal saliva, urine and dander

-bacteria

-chemicals (particularly hexachlorophene, formalin, ethylene diamine)

-cockroaches

-cold air

-colds and upper respiratory tract infections

-drugs (especially aspirin, cimetidine, antibiotics, beta blockers)

-dust mites and their droppings

-exertion (especially if strenuous and in cold air)

-food additives or preservatives (especially tartrazine or sulfur dioxide)

-fungal spores

- fumes (e.g., paint)

As you can see, many of these causes are found in the home. So how can we do a better job fighting asthma in our indoor environments?

Here are some tips:

- Dust frequently.

- Vacuum frequently; use a cylinder vacuum instead of an upright model. Using a HEPA, or high efficiency particulate air, vacuum is optimum. These vacuums are equipped with high-spec pre-filter and filter systems; they are sealed, allergen-free and designed to remove and trap allergens such as bacteria and mold-filled dust that normal vacuums can’t.

- Clean carpeting and drapes regularly. Carpet is a huge hideout for asthma allergens, harboring dust mites and pet dander–the two most common triggers of childhood asthma.

- Replace carpeting with non-fibrous flooring, such as tile or hardwood, particularly in the bedroom.

- Replace feather pillows and down comforters with those containing synthetic fibers; use a plastic mattress cover.

- Wash bedding in hot water (130 degrees Fahrenheit) to kill dust mites and remove allergens. Alternately, you can place bedding in an airtight container for 48 hours.

- Place stuffed toys in the freezer for 24 hours or in an airtight container for 48 hours to kill dust mites.

- Wear a scarf over your nose and mouth in cold weather.

- Monitor the pollen count in spring, summer and fall; avoid open fields when pollen counts are high.

- Always keep your medication with you in case of an attack.

Using an air filter can also help prevent asthma attacks.

Following are some different options:

- Use an HEPA air filter. They feature a minimum particle removal efficiency of 99.97% for all particles 0.3 microns in diameter and larger. This size covers most pollen, mold spores, animal hair and dander, dust mites, bacteria, smoke particles and dust.

- Use an air purifier. They are classified according to the technology they utilize to remove different-sized particles from the air. Certain models use a chemical process, such as ozonization, to purify the air.

- Install a large room unit air purifier. These air purifiers utilize strong filters or collecting plates; some large units use electrostatic precipitation. These purifiers are highly effective at removing pollutants, particularly smoke and dirt, from large areas. They are more effective as single room units than as fixed central air filters.

- Install air filters. The efficiency of different models is
measured by the size of particles they can remove from the air. They are classified in two categories: central filtration, or induct, systems and portable units with fan attachments. Central filtration systems are installed in heating, ventilation and air conditioning systems. Asthmatics should choose a HEPA filter that can trap very small and very large particles.

- Use a tabletop air purifier. These models are equipped with small panels of dry, loosely packed, low-density fiber filters and a high-velocity fan. Although these models are fairly inexpensive, be sure that the specifications match your requirements to remove very small particles from the air that can trigger asthma attacks.

First thing to do is to get physical.

In a world where most people would choose a twinkie over an apple, you’ll have to be the one who has the wisdom and willpower to choose the apple.

In a world increasingly addicted to TV, you and your mate will have to come up with the willpower to go out on a nature walk or bicycle ride.

Why? Because you can’t have a super love life unless you treat your body with the kind of love and respect that we’re discussing. We’re not talking about a six-week diet, we’re considering a life-long program of better nutrition. We are not advocating a three-month exercise program here to take off two inches from the waist; we’re pushing for regular exercise every day of our lives!

A good way to kick-start is with some cardiovascular exercises.
the Harvard School of Public Health reports that men who were
physically inactive were 40 percent more likely to experience
erectile dysfunction than men who exercised a half hour a day.

A foundation of correct nutrition and regular exercise is necessary before we can begin to think about a super love life.

Eat to live and love. Most of us do not realize how foods affect our moods, feelings, energy level, and behavior. When we get down in the dumps, we don’t automatically say, “Gosh, I must not have been eating right.”

On the other hand, when we’re feeling on top of the world we don’t stop to think, “I’d like to feel this good more often.”
We don’t relate how we feel to what we’ve been eating, but foods, vitamins, and minerals can make all the difference in the world between a so-so love life and the kind of love life that makes you smile every time you think about it.

Many people who think they have sex problems are actually victims of poor nutrition. They don’t have sex problems. They have food problems. And food problems can be solved.

De-stress and relax. The physical effects of long-term stress
include colds, ulcers, asthma, heart attack, stroke, and chronic
fatigue–all ailments that can erode your health and your love life.

Couples can de-stress together at the end of the day in more romantic ways, such as enjoying a lathery bubble bath for two, complete with scented candles, and a mug of warm milk and honey. Or just watch a movie together.

The goals are to spend quality time together and put you on the path to total relaxation.
Cut out or cut down on the use of alcohol, cigarettes, and coffee.

Avoid sugary foods and drinks and fried, fatty foods. Sugar interferes with the sex life and reduces its pleasure.

Cut back on milk and wheat products.

Substitute herbal teas for coffee and regular teas, juices for
commercial soft drinks.

It all takes effort to improve your love life–there is no substitute for balanced foods, no shortcut to good health but if you work at it, you can achieve a super love life.
