~ admin ~ Leave a comment

As an entrepreneur you’re a superhero in your own right, working long hours, brainstorming, and crunching numbers to open every door possible to turn your idea into a successful reality.

Developing and launching a startup takes hard work and dedication. And while being a workaholic has its perks there are some definite pitfalls to be aware of, especially when it comes to your health.

Here are 6 health issues that entrepreneurs face and what you can do to minimize your risk.

1. Depression

There’s a lot of fear, anxiety, and frustration when it comes to starting a company. There are all sorts of unknowns and plenty of room for failure. The stress of being an entrepreneur not only takes a toll on you physically, but also mentally. In fact, a recent study of 240 entrepreneurs found that almost 50% reported having a mental health issue, depression being the most common. Anxiety is also widespread in the entrepreneur community.

How To Make Alkaline Water To Fight Fatigue, Digestive Issues And Cancer

Healthy Cures – A healthy body should always be slightly alkaline. The majority of people today, however, tend to be more acidic (if not highly acidic). This is caused by stress, environmental factors and the foods they eat.

Why does this matter? Simple, the more acidic your body the more likely you are to experience fatigue, digestive issues and weight gain.

In addition, if the environment in our bodies is too acidic for too long, our otherwise healthy cells can become toxic and in the worst case scenario become cancerous. How It All Works

The pH scale runs from 0 to 14 (0 being the most acidic, 14 being the most alkaline, and 7 being neutral.)

Our bodies are designed to thrive in a slightly alkaline environment of 7.4

Various organs and systems, however, thrive with different pH levels. For example, your saliva has a pH range from 6.5-7.0 (more acidic in order to help digest foods), your skin typically has a pH of 5 (although, according to a 2006 study published in the International Journal of Cosmetic Science, it should actually be lower—4-4.5—as this allows the bacteria required to help heal and fight off infections, live on your skin).

Weight Loss And The Ego/Inner Child

weightJelaila Starr – Losing weight is a funny thing and a great mystery to so many of us.  What makes us lose weight?  What makes us gain weight?  It seems that there are as many answers and there are people.  Throughout this article I wish to share with you a perspective that has allowed me to lose weight and a bit of the journey that led me to it.  It’s multidimensional so be prepared to have a few beliefs shattered as that seems to be the case when we step outside the “box” and look at things from a higher perspective or “bigger picture.”  But, as always, use discernment and if anything I write doesn’t resonate for you please feel free to toss it.

For most of my life I was one of those fortunate people who didn’t have to be concerned with my weight.  I could eat a pint of ice cream for breakfast and not gain an ounce.  This changed once I embarked on the Spiritual Path in 1994.  At first it was just a 3-5 pound fluctuation but then it increased once I got serious about spiritual growth and in 1996 began conscious emotional clearing in order to ascend.  By 1998 I had gained nearly 30 pounds.  For me this was tragic as it triggered all my childhood fears of being scorned and ridiculed as my mother had been.  I tried dieting using a high protein/low carbohydrate diet, the water diet where you drink half your weight in ounces of water each day and a few others.  Each time I lost a few pounds but quickly regained them once I got off the diet.

I tried exercising but within a couple of days would pull a muscle.  I tried yoga doing 90 minutes of yoga in a 105 degree room for 90 minutes, 4 times a week.   The first time I walked into the studio and felt the intense heat I thought, “Oh my god, I must be insane!”  Yet I persevered and it helped more than anything, but I found I just couldn’t keep it up 4 times a week.  I wasn’t physically ready as my adrenals were too depleted.  Each thing I tried helped a little but once I stopped it, the weight returned.

It’s not what you eat, it’s what you’re holding on to and why. Continue reading →
