1. NEW CPE--HOT OFF THE PRESS
Becoming Raw: The Essential Guide to Raw Vegan Diets, Vesanto Melina,
MS, RD & Brenda Davis, RD.
Becoming Raw is a comprehensive guide for nutrition and health professionals,
and for their clients who are adopting or considering this popular dietary
choice. The CPE provides sound scientific answers for those who adopt
entirely raw vegan diets, and for those who are simply adding more raw
foods to their existing dietary patterns. Becoming Raw addresses controversial
subjects: enzymes, nutritional adequacy, health benefits, nutrition
challenges, food safety, and current research on raw foods diets.

2. NUTRITION NEWS YOU CAN USE
Helping Employees Lose Weight Pays
George Blackburn noted that the ROI (return of investment) for businesses
that offer in-house weight loss programs is a stunning $2.50 for every
dollar invested. No wonder since medical expenses for obese individuals
are 29% to 117% greater than for people who are at healthy weight.
ACTION STEP: To help your clients/patients lose weight healthfully,
and maintain their weight permanently read our new CPE course Making
Weight Control Second Nature: Living Thin Naturally. For details go

3. MORE ON HOW TO THRIVE DURING TOUGH TIMES
In previous issues of this eNL (1-4 and 1-5) http://www.wolfrinke.com/NPnewsletter/npnl0609.htm
and http://www.wolfrinke.com/NPnewsletter/npnl0709.htm I shared specific
strategies that will help you keep your job during these tough economic
times. But some of you asked for more. So here are a total of 60 high
impact strategies that will enable you to survive or maybe even thrive
during these tough times.
1. Get paid less than you are worth. Yes, you read correctly. Generate
more value than you are paid and you will increase the probability that
you thrive even during tough times.
2. Come in early, leave late-in other words deliver 111%.
3. Work smarter-spend more of your time on high pay-off activities and
much less on busy work.
4. Quit multitasking-research tells us that it makes you less productive.
5. Volunteer for jobs others don't want to do. It will give you a competitive
advantage.
6. Manage your attitude-use your mirror to give yourself a "check-up-from-the-neck-up"
every day. For more help listen to or watch Positive Attitude: The Key
to Peak Performance, http://www.wolfrinke.com/CEFILES/cepd.html#C160.
7. Focus on what you have left instead of what's gone.
8. Make time to take care of your body and mind. (Don't know how? See
#9.)
9. Spend less time reading or watching the news. Remember if you read
or hear it in the news it represents the exception!
10. Manage stress by using a fail-safe three step stress control system:
1. Change the changeable; 2. Accept the unchangeable and 3. Remove yourself
from the unacceptable. Much more in Beat the Blues: How to Manage Stress
and Balance Your Life, http://www.wolfrinke.com/CEFILES/cepd.html#C178.
11. Treat everyone who reports to you and your spouse as if they are
responsible for your success. They are!
12. Treat all employees as if they are volunteers. The good ones are!

5. HUMOR BREAK
Chinese doctor (Q) answering questions for his patient (A)-Part 2:
Q: What are some of the advantages of participating in a regular exercise
program?
A: Cannot think of single one, sorry. My philosophy: No pain...Good!
Q: Aren't fried foods bad for you?
A: YOU NOT LISTENING! ... Foods fried in vegetable oil. How getting
more vegetables be bad for you?
Q: Will sit-ups help prevent me from getting a little soft around the
middle?
A: Definitely not! When you exercise muscle, it get bigger. You should
only do sit-ups if want bigger stomach.
I hope this has cleared up some of the misconceptions you may have
had about food, diets and life-style. I'm aware it's not PC. Its humor.
Please lighten up, and laugh already. It's good for you!
