Omega-3 fatty acids are critical for good health, but since our bodies can't
make them, we need to get them through food. Some foods that are rich in omega-3
fatty acids include nuts, fish, and other seafood.Omega-3 fatty acids are considered essential fatty acids.
Omega-3s have a number of health benefits. Omega-3s are thought to play an important role in reducing inflammation throughout the body -- in the blood vessels, the joints, and elsewhere. Reducing inflammation may help lower risk of chronic diseases such as heart
disease, cancer, arthritis, and Alzheimer's. Reducing inflammation can also
increase immune system efficiency.
According to a number of studies, fish oil supplements can also cut elevated triglyceride levels. Having high levels of this blood fat is a risk factor for heart disease. DHA alone has also been shown to lower triglycerides.
Omega-3 fatty acids appear to lower the overall risk of death from heart disease. Fish oil may reduce arrhythmias, and people who take fish oil supplements after a heart attack cut their risk of having another heart attack. Eating fish once or twice a week seems to significantly lower the risk of stroke.
Omega-3 can also make you feel happier! Omega-3s play an important role in helping cells better communicate with each
other. As a result feel-good neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine can
move between cells more easilywhich leads to an overall better mood. In
fact, research has shown that eating foods with high levels of omega-3s may
lower your chance of depression.
Studies show that supplementation during pregnancy boost the health of pregnant women and the development of their children. DHA appears to be important for visual and neurological development in infants.

The big question...Does Insanity by Beachbody really work? I will find out soon enough as I will be starting this program myself in April.
WHAT IS INSANITY
Insanity Is a 60 day cardio based total body conditioning program that burns tons of calories and really pushes you to the the next level of fitness. Insanity uses MAX INTERVAL TRAINING which replaces your moderate intensity exercise with maximum intensity exercise and your short intervals of intensity with short intervals of rest. Adding high intensity exercise, during which your hart rate increases to 80% or more of its maximum capacity forces your body to use fast twitch muscle fiber not normally engaged during cardio exercise, fast twitch fibers continue to burning extra fuel even during low intensity exercise.
If you push your self and give it 100% each time you do Insanity you can burn up to 1000 calories!
IS THIS WORKOUT FOR BEGINNERS
I would have to say no.This is for someone who is already in shape, but looking to take their fitness to the next level. I consider myself to be in pretty good shape and I cant keep up with Shaun T..at least not yet!
WHAT WILL YOU GET WITH INSANITY
When you receive Insanity, you will get 10 DVDs, which are held in a very nice book, and also receive the Elite Nutrition Book to help you eat right during your Insanity journey. You will also receive a calendar to know which days to do what workouts, which will help you stay on track! All of the workouts are very intense, and you will burn up to 1,000 calories per hour, which is unheard of, so be ready to sweat!
So if you think you can hang in there for 60 days you need to join me in a Insanity Challenge Group. I will be starting this April 1st myself and want you to to do it with me.

You hear a lot about living a healthy lifestyle, but what does that mean? In general, a healthy person doesn't smoke, is at a healthy weight, eats healthy and exercises. Sounds simple, doesn't it?
The trick to healthy living is making small changes...taking more steps, adding fruit to your cereal, having an extra glass of water...these are just a few ways you can start living healthy without drastic changes.
One of the biggest problems with most people is lack of activity. We know it's good for us but avoid it like the plague either because we're used to being sedentary or afraid that exercise has to be vigorous to be worth our time. The truth is, movement is movement and the more you do, the healthier you'll be. Even moderate activities like chores, gardening and walking can make a difference.Just adding a little movement to your life can:
Reduce the risk of heart disease, stroke and diabetes
Improve joint stability
Improve mood and reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression
Reduce Stress
Contribute to weight loss
So, even if you opt for small changes and a more modest weight loss, you can see the benefits are still pretty good. One study has found that just a 10% weight reduction helped obese patients reduce blood pressure, cholesterol and increase longtivity.
As humans, we like habits and routines, so much that we often keep doing the same things even when we know they aren't good for us. Changing bad habits takes time and effort and, for a healthy lifestyle, you may be changing a variety of things like:
What time you get up each morning
What time you go to bed each night
How you spend your free time
How you spend your money
How you shop, cook and eat
How much TV you watch
What you do with your family and friends
The rewards for making these changes are endless, but it's beginning that's so difficult. What does it take to change your lifestyle? YOU have to DECIDE to make these changes and COMMIT yourself to stick with it. Get started today not tomorrow. I will be your personal coach to make sure you get started on your new healthier life.
Meal plans personalized for your goals
Access to the online SuperGym®, where you can schedule and log your workouts and easily track your progress
Message boards and chatrooms to help you find new friends and workout partners, and get advice and support from the entire community

Shakeology isn’t a meal replacement. It’s not just a way to limit your calorie intake or make your body feel full. Shakeology is completely different. Shakeology contains more than 70 natural ingredients derived from rich, nutrient-dense whole-food sources from around the world.
Shakeology is so incredibly healthy, no other single food item out there can supply you with all the nutrients, vitamins, proteins, and minerals in the amounts you need the way one delicious shake can.* You are left feeling full not because of gimmicky “fillers” in the product, but because you have trulymet the nutritional needs of your body. That’s why Shakeology works like nothing else! You aren’t using a low calorie shake to intentionally starve your way to weight loss. You are fueling your body completely with the most nutrient dense foods from around the world so that your body is completely satisfied, completely energized, and at it’s best — and the fact that it doesn’t require a ton of calories to make you feel that way is why Shakeology helps you lose weight, feel great, get fit, crush cravings, and get healthy. No other “meal replacement shake” can do that.
How Shakeology Works
Shakeology's proprietary blend of digestive enzymes, prebiotics, and probiotics helps your body eliminate toxins that have built up in your digestive system over the years due to eating highly processed foods, fast food, and junk food. A healthy digestive system makes it easier to absorb the nutrients you need for optimal health.
While your body is cleansing itself from the inside out, Shakeology's 100% whole-food ingredients deliver the essential amino acids, vitamins,
and minerals your body needs to help curb its cravings.
Your body will begin to shed stored fat while Shakeology's superfoods (that are chock-full of antioxidants and phytonutrients) work their magic, helping reduce "free radical" damage that could potentially lead to heart disease, heart attacks, high blood pressure, and strokes.
GRAPE SEED EXTRACT — Grape seed extract is known as the secret anti-aging ingredient, this ingredient improves the elasticity of the skin, promotes healthy arteries and is beneficial for the eyes too!
I have created a list of over half the ingredients explaining exactly what they are and the health benefits they offer. Subscribe at the link below to receive this very important list, you are missing out on a load of information if you don't. I will also include directions on how to kick start your weight loss with Shakeology. The average person will lose 5-8 pounds in 3 days!
How Has Shakeology Worked For Me
YES I do use shakeolgy myself! I have used tons of different protein powders,meal replacements in the past. This is the top one on my list! While on shakeolgy I actually feel full! that's something I never experienced with any other shake. This is very important to me because I am HUNGRY ALL The TIME lol. If you feel hungry you have the tendency to binge eat and that's not good for the diet.
Shakeology mixes easily in a shaker cup.With just a couple of shakes you will have No clumps and a smooth consistency. I feel a BOOST of energy and with one shake I know I'm getting the vitamins I need for the day.
30-Day Money Back GuaranteeIf you don’t start to see and
feel the benefits of Shakeology within the first month of using it, or if you're
not 100% satisfied for any reason, just return it within 30 days for a full
refund of the purchase price, less s&h—guaranteed. That's our promise to you
I thought I would share this article written by Mark Cuban "12 Rules For Start Up Businesses". Mark Cuban is co-founder and chairman of Denver-based independent cable network HDNet and owner of one of my favorite basketball teams the Dallas Mavericks. Most of America knows him as one of the investors on abc's reality show Shark Tank. In my opinion these are rules that new business owners need to think about and implement into there own business.
Anyone who has started a business has his or her own rules and guidelines, so I thought I would add to the memo with my own. My "rules" below aren't just for those founding the companies, but for those who are considering going to work for them, as well. 1. Don't start a company unless it's an obsession and something you love.
2. If you have an exit strategy, it's not an obsession.
3. Hire people who you think will love working there.
4. Sales Cure All. Know how your company will make money and how you will actually make sales.
5. Know your core competencies and focus on being great at them. Pay up for people in your core competencies. Get the best. Outside the core competencies, hire people that fit your culture but aren't as expensive to pay.
6. An espresso machine? Are you kidding me? Coffee is for closers. Sodas are free. Lunch is a chance to get out of the office and talk. There are 24 hours in a day, and if people like their jobs, they will find ways to use as much of it as possible to do their jobs.
7. No offices. Open offices keep everyone in tune with what is going on and keep the energy up. If an employee is about privacy, show him or her how to use the lock on the bathroom. There is nothing private in a startup. This is also a good way to keep from hiring executives who cannot operate successfully in a startup. My biggest fear was always hiring someone who wanted to build an empire. If the person demands to fly first class or to bring over a personal secretary, run away. If an exec won't go on sales calls, run away. They are empire builders and will pollute your company.
8. As far as technology, go with what you know. That is always the most inexpensive way. If you know Apple, use it. If you know Vista, ask yourself why, then use it. It's a startup so there are just a few employees. Let people use what they know. Related: Three Steps for Getting Started in Mobile Commerce 9. Keep the organization flat. If you have managers reporting to managers in a startup, you will fail. Once you get beyond startup, if you have managers reporting to managers, you will create politics.
10. Never buy swag. A sure sign of failure for a startup is when someone sends me logo-embroidered polo shirts. If your people are at shows and in public, it's okay to buy for your own employees, but if you really think people are going to wear your branded polo when they're out and about, you are mistaken and have no idea how to spend your money.
11. Never hire a PR firm. A public relations firm will call or email people in the publications you already read, on the shows you already watch and at the websites you already surf. Those people publish their emails. Whenever you consume any information related to your field, get the email of the person publishing it and send them a message introducing yourself and the company. Their job is to find new stuff. They will welcome hearing from the founder instead of some PR flack. Once you establish communication with that person, make yourself available to answer their questions about the industry and be a source for them. If you are smart, they will use you. Related: Is Any Publicity Good Publicity?
12. Make the job fun for employees. Keep a pulse on the stress levels and accomplishments of your people and reward them. My first company, MicroSolutions, when we had a record sales month, or someone did something special, I would walk around handing out $100 bills to salespeople. At Broadcast.com and MicroSolutions, we had a company shot. The Kamikaze. We would take people to a bar every now and then and buy one or ten for everyone. At MicroSolutions, more often than not we had vendors cover the tab. Vendors always love a good party.
