5 Tips To Avoid High Blood Pressure and Add 10 Years To Your Life

#1 Diet: Our diet is the main contributor to our hypertension. Health experts and nutritionists recommend that we follow a diet that is rich in whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables, seeds, and nuts. Our diet should include adequate amounts of these nutrients.

#2 Reduce Salt Intake: We need some salt in our diet, but far less than we are used to having. Our diet should contain less than 1500 milligrams of sodium a day, most of which will come from our food.

#3 Drink Plenty of Water: We need to keep our bodies properly hydrated to maintain our health.

#4 Exercise: Our modern sedentary lifestyle has caused a massive increase in obesity across the "Western" world. Being overweight is a risk factor for developing hypertension.

#5 Relaxation: Even mild stress can raise our blood pressure. It is, therefore, important that we learn how to lower our stress levels as this can help lower our blood pressure.

The Long View

"What we do today, right now, will have an accumulated effect on all our tomorrows." Alexandra Stoddard




Ever had one of those days when dealing with life bogs you down? When you're working in the trenches of life and the important things seem to get put aside. It's too easy to lose sight of the importance of consistent, incremental improvement. You may begin to feel that your small efforts won't pay off, and then the negative self-talk begins... ("What's the point?...).

We all have these days. Accept them. They'll come. Your job is simply to prevent them from extending into seasons. One off day? No problem. An off month? You're sliding into the danger zone.

One thing you can do to mitigate the impact of an occasional down day is to remember that the profound effect of your efforts today are most likely to pay off in the long run. Much like the power of compound interest, a few dollars deposited today can mean a significant difference in your future. Imagining your efforts-- from networking to prospecting and beyond-- as a kind of retirement account can help you take the long view.

Impatience is often our greatest enemy, because it works against our faith in ourselves. The best way to restore our faith is to continue to "show up." When I say "show up" I mean continue to work at your craft. I don't mean just show up to a meeting... a tasting party... I am talking about showing up for practice and working out like you are headed for the play-offs. Continue to improve everyday no matter what kind of results you are currently getting. The idea is to become better everyday.

Adjust your sights for the long view. Remember, canyons were cut by rivers, and glaciers moved steadily and slowly to change the face of the Earth. You possess the same power. Trust what you do today matters: You tomorrow depends upon it.

Five Minute Intro to MonaVie

Who Am I?

Your best friend or greatest enemy, I am your greatest companion. I am your greatest helper or your heaviest burden. I will push you onwards or drag you down to failure. I am completely at your command.

Half the things you do, you might as well turn over to me and I'll do them quickly and correctly. I'm easily managed, but you must be firm with me. Show me exactly how you want something done and , after a few lessons, I'll do it automatically. I'm the servant of all great me and, alas, of all failures as well.

Those who are great, I have made great. Those who are failures, I have made failures. I work with the precision of a scientist and the passion of a patriot. You may run me for profit or run me for ruin; it makes no difference to me. Take me, train me, be firm with me and I will put the world at your feet. But be easy with me and I'll destroy you.

Who am I? I am Habit!

Courage is the first of the human qualities because it is a quality which guarantees all the others. W Churchill
