Omega – 3 and Vitamin D Linked to Better Eye Health

Consumption of Omega-3 fatty acids and Omega-3 rich fish could slash the risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), according to a new study.

The new study, published in the Archives of Ophthalmology, adds further support for increasing the ratio of Omega-3 to Omega-6 fatty acids.

“These results, and those from other observational analytic investigations, suggest that modifying diet to include more food rich in omega-3, long-chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, could result in a reduction in the risk of having AMD,” wrote the researchers from the Age Related Eye Disease Study Research Group.

“Higher fish consumption was also inversely associated with neovascular AMD,” they added.

“We also observed reduced prevalence of AMD among consistent vitamin D supplement users who consumed milk less than daily,” added the author.

Sponsoring ABCs

When is the last time you sponsored a new person who you knew would set the world on fire, only to be disappointed by their lack of performance? Most new people in the business are nervous and can easily be frustrated if there isn't constant contact from the sponsor and or leader.

You can increase the odds for success with your new recruit if you remember your Sponsoring ABCs . . .

A - Ask the new person about his or her goal. What is their reason for joining? What is their short-term goal (something they would like to do or purchase in next 90 days)? What are their long-term goals and objectives. Realize, this could be the first time the new recruit has really been asked to clearly define what he or she wants. Take time with your new recruit and really help them set goals and create an action plan.

B - Begin right away with training your newly sponsored person. Make sure he or she has training materials and information to begin their business in the next week to ten days. If there is going to be a meeting or show, make sure it is within 10 days so the new recruit can begin to earn money right away. The sooner a new recruit begins to have cash flow, the easier it is for you to retain him or her. Have the new recruit attend at least 2 meetings with you or another leader. The best way to train a new person is with "hands on experience" and it is one of the key elements towards their success.

C - Constant contact is a must for your new recruit. You cannot afford to go more than a few days without some form of contact (phone call or in person - no e-mail). Why do I recommend no e-mails? It's quite simple...you need to hear the person's voice and or see their face in order to find out if he or she is getting discouraged. Often a person will sound OK in their e-mail and you find out a few days later that he or she was really discouraged and ready to quit. Remember, your new recruit is just like a brand new baby. I don't know too many people that would leave that new baby alone, especially during the first 6 weeks. Don't leave your new person alone for too long. Maintain constant contact. If you apply the above principals to every new recruit you bring into the business, you will not only see their business grow, but yours as well.

As Zig Ziglar always says, "you can get everything in life you want when you help enough other people get what they want!"
