Why Health and Fitness Plus Network Marketing Make a Great Home Business
October 24, 2009 By Leave a Comment
If you decide to choose a network marketing company, there are so many things to consider. You have to think about the compensation of the companies plan to learn more about their terms of service, etc.
However, the most important decision is about the product. If you do not select the right product or service, you can never take your company from the ground. There are some network marketing companies there with products or services that are simply too difficult to sell.
Those who have success with them probably have tremendous sales skills, their family and friends, or have even taken years, building up to their level. It is important to create a product that you are familiar. If you can not believe in it, do not get into it. What you cannot convince yourself of, you will not be able to convince others of.
This is the reason why health and fitness niche is a winner. I call it an evergreen niche as almost everyone will, at some point in their lives want to improve their health. Improving the health could be in the form of losing weight, getting back in shape, or maintain one’s current health status. It is a niche that never runs dry!
The problem is that many of the products that are in the network marketing industry are not the ones that offer the right way to get healthy. It may sell at first because of the “magic bullet” effect of the company (a slight correction in diet routine or a pill or shake). But if there are too few results to show for it, the sales may run dry.
You have to find products that you feel comfortable with are legitimate and show proven results. The great thing about health and fitness niche is that it is not necessary for you to become a fitness professional to get started. You only need the desire to use the products, and a living testimony of how they will help you in get in the best shape of your life. This makes the sale as well as the convincing so much easier.
With that said, choose your company wisely! Consider the health and fitness niche, because there are some really excellent products that are great for a home based business.

The connection between body fat distribution and health risk
September 4, 2009 By Leave a Comment
Medical studies have shown that ‘weight management’ through the reduction of excess body fat plays a fundamental role in fighting disease and maintaining superior health and total fitness levels. The research also linked the stress of excess body fat to major physical conditions such as, cancer, stroke, hypertension, and heart disease.
- 25.0 – 30.0 means you are overweight
- 30.0 – 40.0 points to obesity
- 40 and above classifies you as morbidly obese.
Since BMI describes the body weight relative to height, it is strongly associates with the total body fat content in adults – children’s calculations are more complicated, because they also have to take gender and age into account.
Body shape and body fat distribution is important in determining a number of health risks and x fitness. How your body is shaped, and where the fat bulges are hiding, is indeed relevant to your health. For example, the fat cells around the abdomen will release their fat more eagerly into the bloodstream than other fat cells. This means that ‘pot-belly’ victims are more likely at risk to get narrowing arteries, diabetes and cancer. Fat mainly deposited in the lower half of the body, such as the buttocks, thighs and hips does not appear to have the same risk factor. Also, weight deposits in the waist region are generally more characteristic for men than women.
Are you at risk for disease?
Unlike popular belief, not just a big person is at risk for disease. A small individual with large abdominal fat stores (i.e. a ‘pot belly’) increases his/her chances to get sick as well. The association between health risks and body fat distribution is usually determined as follow:
- Least risk – slim built without pot belly
- Moderate risk – overweight without pot belly
- Moderate to high risk – slim built with pot belly
- High risk – overweight with pot belly.
Waist circumference health risk indicator by gender – Waist Circumference indicates medical problems by men and women differently.
In men:
- 94 cm to 101 cm – risk increases
- 102 cm or more – risk increases substantially.
In women:
- 80 cm to 87 cm – risk increases
- 88 cm or more – risk increases substantially.
Other vital information
- Most people store their body fat in two distinct areas: around their hips (pear shape) and around their middle (apple shape).
- A person’s genes will increase the tendency to develop fat around the waist.
- Being sufficiently physically active and not smoking will help decrease body fat.
- Eating unsaturated fat instead of saturated fat can decrease the risk of developing abdominal obesity.
- Age counts. Men older than 45, and postmenopausal women, all with too much body fat increase their chances to get severely sick.
So, if you are concerned about your health, why not take the time to determine your BMI?
