If You Don’t Take Care Of Your Body You Are Harming Your Business Too
Last night I attended a special movie screening of the documentary, “Food Matters“. Here’s the trailer -
The gist of the film is that our medical system at the moment is not good at dealing with diseases. We focus on symptoms rather than the root cause of the problem and – here’s the big deal – doctors rarely consider nutrition as a cure or preventative solution, instead it’s all about cutting things out, or radiation treatments and drug therapies after the fact.
The drug companies like this because they can sell more product. If you have a culture like ours, which tends to react to problems only after they occur and then treat them using drugs, you have a formula for a billion dollar industry. We tend to think about popping a pill when something is wrong, rather than eating good food to stay healthy.
Food Matters looks at nutrition – the food we eat – as the best prevention and cure for health issues. It’s ridiculous how much sense this makes, yet people don’t follow the advice.
What’s The Key Ingredient For Business Success?
You might think the answer to the question in the heading above is marketing, or customer service or a superior product, but for every business in existence today, the key ingredient is people. If you don’t have healthy functioning people, then your business is not going to thrive.
In the home business, solo entrepreneur and professional blogging world, it matters even more because you work independently as the main cog that keeps the business going. If you can’t work, you can’t earn a living.
The message in Food Matters is a simple one: Eat organic foods, if you can – eat raw foods, and add superfoods to your diet too. Look to food as the best prevention and even the cure to any ailments you suffer from.
I’m not saying take on board the ideas in the movie as fact, you can make your own mind up, but the core message – you are what you eat – is just so obvious, yet it needs to be stated. Even those of us with the best intentions have trouble sticking to healthy eating all the time.
