2. NUTRITION NEWS YOU CAN USE
Low Vitamin D May Lead to Dementia and Alzheimer Disease
This study involved 1,658 adults, who averaged 74 years of age, and had no dementia or history of cardiovascular disease or stroke. After 5½ years those who were deficient in vitamin D were twice as likely to have developed dementia and Alzheimer disease as those with normal levels of the vitamin. Participants who had a severe vitamin D deficiency had three times the risk. Researchers concluded: "Our results confirm that vitamin D deficiency is associated with a substantially increased risk of all-cause dementia and Alzheimer disease."
ACTION STEPS: Help your patients become more knowledgeable about vitamins. When you enter the keyword "vitamins" in the search field at www.easyCPEcredits.com you will find 24 different CPE programs addressing this topic, including "Geriatric Nutrition: Guidelines for Working with Older Adults", Fourth Edition, (C231)

4. GOALS: YOUR ROAD MAP TO SUCCESS--PART 1
By Wolf J. Rinke, PhD, RDN, CSP
Goals-who needs them anyway?
You do, if you want to succeed faster! Why? Let's say you own a basketball franchise, and hire the best basketball players in the world, have them train until they play like champions, and then tell them to play the best game ever, only once they get to the court they find that neither side has baskets. What is the chance that they will win the game? You are probably thinking that's an absolutely absurd question. You might even feel that I've insulted your intelligence with such a silly question. Then why are you-assuming you are like the majority of the people in the United States-running your life that way? Study after study has demonstrated that only a very small minority of the U.S. population has clearly defined, written lifetime goals.
The system to success
Your goals represent a system, and once you have mastered this system, it will get you more of what you want because it provides you with a road map to success. And that system starts with dreaming a big dream.
Dream a big dream
In his classic book, Think and Grow Rich, Napoleon Hill identified three key steps to success: Conceive, Believe, Achieve. He was absolutely right. You must first be able to conceive, visualize if you will, what it is that you want to get out of life. To find out what that is you will need a writing pad (or use the forms in my new CPE program: "Goals: Your Road Map to Success," http://www.wolfrinke.com/CEFILES/C256CPEcourse.html), several 3 x 5 cards or Post-it® notes, a pen or pencil, and a quiet setting. (This is high tech stuff, isn't it?) The best way to make sure that you have a quiet setting is to get up about one or two hours before everyone else on your next day off-let's say this coming Sunday. (Yes, do it this coming Sunday; you have procrastinated long enough.)
After you get up, take a brisk shower, get dressed, and pour yourself your favorite beverage. Put on some classical music-Beethoven is best. Sit in your easy chair with your pencil and your writing pad. Take a deep breath or do some breathing exercises to help you relax, and partially close your eyes. Now dream about what you want to accomplish in your brief moment on this planet earth. Do not, at this time, constrain yourself by anything. Ignore what others have told you can or cannot do; forget any past failures and setbacks; and ignore your current troubles and handicaps, real or perceived. Dream what you want to accomplish, focusing on what's critically important to you. You will recognize your "fire-in-belly" dreams when they come to you; your heart rate will increase, you'll breathe more rapidly, and you will feel that burning desire. At this point, do not worry about feasibility, just write them down.
To help you with this process, ask yourself questions such as: What goals would I set for myself if I had a 100 percent guarantee of success? What is my ideal life style? What do I stand for? What is really important to me? What epitaph do I want on my tombstone? What do I want my children or my loved ones to say about me when I'm gone? What is my ideal career goal? And so on. Write these things down as they occur to you; pay no attention to order, magnitude, possibilities, fears, limitations, or obstacles. Your objective is to dream a big dream and to capture your dreams. (If you are married, or have a significant other with whom you are planning to spend the rest of your life, have him/her go through the same process.)
Translating Dreams into Reality: Step 1
After you have completed your "dream sheets", put them aside until next weekend. At that time, spend another one or two hours working with them. Begin by determining how important each dream is by rating it on a scale from 1 to 10, with 1 meaning "This is a pipe dream that would be nice to accomplish" and 10 meaning "This dream is critical to me, it will change my life, and I am willing to pay any price to achieve it.
After you have rated every dream (I know it is difficult to do), strike-out all those with a rating of less than 6. As the next step, prioritize all of your dreams from 1 to whatever, with 1 being your most important dream. (#1 should have received a score of 10 in the previous ranking.) Weight those that you assigned high ratings to more heavily when prioritizing. Write your top three highest priority dreams--actually they are your lifetime fire-in-the-belly goals--on two 3 x 5 cards or Post-it® notes.
Place one of these on your bathroom mirror, where you brush your teeth twice a day, or any other place where you will automatically see it at least twice a day. Take the other one to your office, school, or work. Place it where you will see it several times throughout the day. Place your fire-in-the-belly goal card or Post-it® notes on your desk or work surface so that it is in your view when you look up from your work or when you are on the telephone, so that you can visualize living your dream long before you actually achieve them. Also, have it nearby when you plan what you want to accomplish for each day-see Step 4 below.
In the January 2015 issue of this eNewsletter we'll look at the next four steps that will provide you with a road map to success.

Here is what one reviewer had to say about this powerful CPE program:
I found Dr. Rinke's self-study course on setting personal and professional goals to be enlightening, well written, and an outstanding resource for both experienced and inexperienced dietetic professionals. His five-step framework provides a roadmap for setting goals in seven aspects of one's life and then describes how to translate those goals into success and satisfaction in one's personal and professional life. In addition, he addresses how the fear of failure prevents many individuals from turning their dreams into reality and provides six, straightforward strategies for overcoming that fear. The format of the self-study course not only makes it an easy and entertaining read with numerous personal examples, but also provides essential, easy to understand "how to" information needed to implement the program. I believe this course will help any dietetic professional to become more effective in both their personal and professional lives.
--Richard F. Patterson, EdD, RDN, Associate Dean, College of Health and Human Services, Western Kentucky University

6. HUMOR BREAK
On a recent airline trip, the man sitting next to me struck up a conversation. Finally, he asked me what I did for a living. When I told him that I am a professional speaker, he retorted, "You don't look like a professional speaker." I answered, "That's because today is my day off."
