Flavonoids May Help Improve Heart Health

Quercetin, a popular flavonoid (beneficial plant phyto-nutrient), is metabolized quickly in the body, and may reduce the positive benefits the compound is believed to have on overall cardiovascular health.

Scientists at the Institute of Food Research (IFR) have found that although the metabolites of Quercetin—found in foods such as apples, onions, tea, and red wine—may reduce some of the early signs of heart disease, they may be less effective than the compound itself.

“We tested compounds that are actually found in the blood, rather than the flavonoid in food before it is eaten, as only these compounds will actually come into contact with human tissues and have an effect on arterial health,” said research leader Dr. Paul Kroon.

Flavonoids have been receiving increasing attention as of late, with a mounting body of science—both epidemiological and laboratory-based—suggesting a wide range of health benefits, including immune system boosting, and cardiovascular health benefits.

Word-of-Mouth Referrals

Even in today's media-driven world, there is no better form of advertising than word-of-mouth, a personal referral from someone whose opinions others trust and respect. Small business owners are among the biggest beneficiaries of word-of-mouth referrals, as they require no advertising and marketing budget.

While you cannot always control how and when referrals come about, there are many ways to start and sustain a positive buzz about your business. Here are some suggestions to help you attract high-value, low-cost, word-of-mouth referrals:

Recruit Cheerleaders
Build a team of supporters for your business—friends, family members, and colleagues who routinely talk up your business to their friends and acquaintances. Make sure they know enough about your qualifications and capabilities to make an accurate and convincing case to others.

Become a Source of Knowledge
Take advantage of opportunities to show what you know by offering free presentations to professional and community organizations or to friends and neighbors at a home meeting/party. Make sure that your presentation is relevant to listeners' interests, not a thinly veiled commercial for your business.

Keep in Touch
Don't wait for customers to call you. Contact them from time to time to see how things are going (both personally and professionally), what issues or trends they're dealing with, and perhaps alert them to an event, article, or website that may be of interest. Also consider issuing a newsletter to current and prospective clients with relevant news, tips, and other information that can help their business, or simply brighten their day.

Do a Good Job
There's no better source for a positive referral than a happy customer. Remember that the quality of your service says as much about you as the quality of your work or product. Responsiveness, the ability to help out with tight deadlines, and a willingness to do those all-important "little things" builds goodwill and a good reputation for your business.
