Low dietary intakes of calcium may increase the prevalence of being overweight or obesity by 24 percent, according to a new study from Brazil.

The study results showed that people with the lowest average intakes (less than 265 mg) were 24 percent more likely to be overweight, compared to people who consumed at least 593 mg of calcium per day.

“In the present study, higher mean calcium intakes were also observed among women with normal weight who were non-smokers, practiced physical activity, and had higher educational levels,” Milena Baptista Bueno, the lead researcher.

Established Associates and those new to the business often have a difference of opinion about networking. The old-timers usually say that networking is one of their most important sources of business, while the newcomers frequently claim to put a lot of effort into networking without seeing much return. What's going on here? Let's define the kind of networking that builds business. It's not just circulating through a room exchanging business cards! A broader view of networking is creating a pool of contacts from which you can draw clients, referrals, resources, ideas, and information.

Your business network can, and should, contain colleagues, a wide range of business people, and personal friends, as well as customers and prospects. Meeting people at organized events is one of the easiest ways to build an extensive network. The first secret to effective networking is choosing the right kind of events to attend.

Don't spend all your time networking within your industry. Be sure that some of the events you go to are also attended by potential recruits and customers, and by other professionals who may be able to refer business to you. Here are some popular choices for networking events: Chamber of Commerce mixers, workshops, and award ceremonies; service clubs such as Rotary and Kiwanis; trade and professional association meetings where customers, recruits, or potential referral sources gather; lectures, conferences, and fundraisers hosted by educational institutions, community organizations, and affinity groups; social, cultural, and sporting events that include receptions or other mix-and-mingle time. Don’t forget about the private gatherings specifically organized for the purpose of meeting new people, either.

The way to get the most value from a group is to become a member of it. You will have more success in your networking if you go back to the same groups over and over than if you keep going to new groups all the time. Find two or three that seem to have the right mix of people, and keep going back. Here's the second secret to effective networking: if you don't follow up with the people you meet, you are wasting your time in meeting them. It is simply untrue that prospects will "call when they are ready." The truth is that if people have met you only once, they probably don't even remember you, and it's even less likely that they will remember where they put your card.

Follow up with the people you meet immediately. For those that are potential recruits or customers, call to reintroduce yourself. Describe what you are offering, determine their level of interest, and invite them to take the next step by attending a presentation or party, or viewing your catalog. When you meet people in a position to lead you to more prospects or refer business in the future, call them to suggest coffee or lunch, or offer to stop by. In either case, after making contact, put them in your calendar to follow up with again in a month or two. If this sounds like hard work, you're right—building relationships takes time and effort. But these relationships are the core of networking.

The people in your network should be people you truly enjoy interacting with, because if you're doing it right, you'll be spending a lot of time with them. That's the final secret of effective networking—the one that separates the successful Associates from the newcomers who may not make it. Networking takes time to pay off. You need to put in the effort now, and trust that you will see results later. The Associates who followed that rule when THEY were new are now the established successes who can tell newcomers that networking really does work.
