Vitamin D may “slash” Parkinson’s risk: New Study
High Blood Levels of Vitamin D may reduce the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease by up to 67 percent, compared to low levels of the Sunshine Vitamin, according to a new study from Finland.
Researchers from the National Institute for Health and Welfare in Helsinki analyzed data from 3,173 Finnish men and women aged between 50 and 79. Over an impressive 29 years of follow-up, the researchers documented 50 cases of Parkinson’s disease. The study is reported to be the first longitudinal analysis of vitamin D status and the risk of Parkinson’s disease.
“Our results are in line with the hypothesis that low vitamin D status predicts the development of Parkinson’s disease,” wrote the researchers, in an accompanying editorial, Marian Leslie Evatt, MD, MS, from Emory University in Atlanta described the study as “the first promising human data to suggest that inadequate vitamin D status is associated with the risk of developing Parkinson’s disease”.
Until Next Week,
Best Wishes for Ultimate Health and Majestic Dreams!!!

Building a Healthy Downline
When you are building your business, you are building a relationship with your customers through sales but you should also build a healthy relationship with your sales team. Here are 7 tips to help build a strong downline and keep your business growing every day
TIP #1: GET PERSONAL Your downline wants to know who they are working so hard for. Send a monthly newsletter with sales tips, monthly numbers, information on the top salesperson, etc. Offer a free forum or chat group to your team so everyone can share ideas and offer support to one another.
TIP #2: BE AVAILABLE Schedule time to speak with your sales team often. Constant contact will show them that you care. This gives your team a chance to share their concerns, thoughts, and ideas with you. It also allows them the opportunity to ask questions.
TIP #3: HOLD A CONTEST You can use a company offered contest or come up with something on your own such as offering prizes or free services, special discounts, or coupons to the team member who recruits the most new distributors. Of course the nice thing about promoting the company sponsored contest is they pay for it!
TIP #4: WRITE BLOGS Article marketing provides an avenue for free website traffic. You can also create banner ads linking to your website where your products are sold, then submit them to various free article directories.
TIP #5: EDUCATE YOUR TEAM Provide your current sales team with powerful information about your business and products. By educating your sales team, you will create an aura of excitement. This excitement pushes your team to recruit their acquaintances into this wonderful opportunity for self-based employment.
TIP #6: LOSE YOUR MIND Sometimes the silliest ideas are the ones that often get noticed in sales. If you’ve been playing it safe, get crazy with promoting your business. Print fliers, bookmarks, calling cards, booklets, etc. Go door-to-door and promote your business and sales opportunity. Focus only on promoting awareness of your business instead of generating sales.
TIP #7: DON’T STOP It has been said many times that for every 9 “no’s” you get, you’ll get 1 “yes.” Don’t stop promoting recruits, regardless of how many “no’s” you’ve had this far. Eventually someone will say, “Yes!” Sometimes the squeakiest wheel is the one that gets the grease!
