A diet rich in cocoa flavonoids could boost antioxidant defenses, particularly in the thymus gland, suggests a new study out of Spain.

Writing in the Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, lead author Emma Ramiro Puig and co-workers from the University of Barcelona report that feeding rats cocoa-enriched diets resulted in increased activity of the body’s antioxidant enzyme defenses.

The health benefits of antioxidant-rich chocolate have received much recognition in recent years, with positive findings from a number of studies impacting on consumer awareness.

The researchers reported that the cocoa-enriched diet led to significant increases in the total antioxidant capacity in all of the body tissues, particularly the thymus gland.

The researchers noted that there was a dose-dependant increase in the thymus activities of the antioxidant enzymes superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase, that resulted from cocoa supplementation.

SOD has a different mode of action to vitamins. Dubbed “The Enzyme of Life”, when first discovered in 1968, it is the first antioxidant mobilized by the cell for defense. It is thought to be more powerful than antioxidant vitamins as it activates the body’s production of its own antioxidants, including catalase and glutathione peroxidase.

Best Wishes for Ultimate Health and Majestic Dreams!!!

If you are easily distracted, staying focused on your business can be harder than doing the actual work of your business! It is very easy to procrastinate, especially when you are working at home. There are always a million other things to do.

Here is something you should always try to remember; The dishes can wait! The laundry can wait! So go make those phone calls or answer those emails. The laundry and dishes will still be there, waiting for you! However, if you wait too long to call a client back, they may move on to someone who gets back to them faster than you do.

Why did you become a business owner in the first place? Did you need to bring in an extra money to pay off credit cards? Was it to put money away for your children's college fund? Or was it to save for retirement? Whatever the reason, write it down and put it where you will see it on a daily basis. When you are feeling distracted, look at what you wrote down. It will be easier to work when you remember why you are working in the first place.

Hold yourself accountable. You will also want team up with someone else, maybe your mentor or sponsor. Having another person holding you accountable is always good. You can share you successes or share your frustration when something didn't go as planned.

Stay motivated by setting daily, weekly and month goals. If you work backwards, you will create a road map to your success. Example, if your financial goals is to sell $1500 that month. You will see that you need to sell $375 each week. How many home meetings or parties do you need to hold, how many phone calls do you need to make each day, how many new people to you need to sponsor that month, etc.

Celebrate! When you do accomplish a goal, be sure to celebrate. Or when one of your team members reaches a goal, be sure to celebrate with them. Take time to focus on the achievement, you deserve it!
