This is from Newsmax and it’s about how to REVERSE the process. But the frightening thing is that the lack of exercise and fast food causes liver disease - in youth!
Thankfully the damage seems to be able to be reversed … at least when changes are made.
For adults and children who’ve repeatedly indulged in fast food, Tetri urges four key steps to help reverse the damage they’ve done to their liver.
1. Limit yourself to no more than one fast-food meal a week. For some people, that’s going to be a major downshift. But for the sake of your health, a visit to a fast-food restaurant should be considered a treat – not a regular event.
2. When you do eat fast food, eat as healthfully as possible. Try the burger without mayo and cheese, and avoid fries and sugary soft drinks. Better yet, go for a grilled chicken sandwich, a salad with a lower-fat dressing and bottled water or a diet soft drink.
3. Get active. If you don’t already exercise at least three times a week, start now. Regular exercise helps keep your weight down and helps your body better metabolize and process the food you eat.
4. Ask your doctor to do a blood test to check your level of liver enzymes, a key measure of the health of your liver. Many doctors now order test this routinely when doing blood work on adults, but kids who eat a lot of fast food especially need to have their liver enzymes checked.
“Even for those people with the worst kind of diets, it’s not too late to start exercising and eating right,” Tetri says.
I’m glad I’m starting a Square Foot Garden… at least I’ll get some fresh food and some activity that way!
According to Business Week, the economic slump hits men the hardest. Why’s that? “Men, concentrated in the weakest sectors, are losing jobs in this downturn, while women make gains.” Those sectors are manufacturing and construction.
They eat from the same dishes and sleep in the same beds, but they seem to be operating in two different economies. From last November through this April, American women aged 20 and up gained nearly 300,000 jobs, according to the household survey of the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). At the same time, American men lost nearly 700,000 jobs. You might even say American men are in recession, and American women are not.
The share of all men aged 20 and over with jobs has fallen since last November, when private-sector employment peaked, going from 72.9% to 72.2% in April. For women the ratio rose, from 58.1% to 58.3%. The adult male unemployment rate has risen twice as much as the female jobless rate since November. T

I’d heard of the online video environment (Game?) called “Second Life”… but here’s how a guy earns his income through Second Life, it’s called Second Life Loot
I can’t vouch for it… I’ve never been on Second Life and I just hear about Second Life Loot today.
But here’s how their website begins…
Tomorrow, Intuit will host its second “Get Back to Business” webinar tomorrow, May 7 at 1 – 2 p.m. PST and I thought you might want to listen in or let your readers know…
It’s called “Cash is KING: Increasing your cash flow during a recession.” It will presented by Pam Newman, president of RPPC Inc., who is also an Entrepreneur.com columnist and certified QuickBooks ProAdvisor.
The webinar can be accessed at http://www.quickbooksgroup.com/getbacktobusiness.
The series builds on the recent Get Back to Business survey results from Intuit, which found that small businesses were overwhelmingly upbeat about the downbeat economy and that that 23% of small business owners are focused on increasing savings to avoid business failure.
Are you optimistic for your business? Many small business owners plan to GROW their businesses at this time. They’re letting other people worry about “recession”!
SAN FRANCISCO, CA–(Marketwire - April 18, 2008) - The recent QuickBooks “Get Back to Business” survey found that small business owners are optimistic about their businesses despite uncertain economic times. In fact, close to 80% of small business owners expect their business to grow, despite the stagnant economy. In this video, Rhonda Abrams, small business industry expert, and President of the Planning Shop, discusses some of the surprising findings of the survey, and what it means for the outlook of small business.

According to Telecommunications Industry News, broadband penetration in the U.S. has grown by more than 300% in the past six years. This is according to a recent report by Scarborough Research.
Approximately 49% of American adults now have a high-speed internet connection in their households, up from just 12% in 2002. DSL represents the majority of this expansion, with DSL penetration increasing by 575% over the past six years.
Broadband has made it easier for Americans to live where they choose to live. Technology will connect them with the rest of the world. Broadband has also helped many people become entrepreneurs out of their own homes. With a worldwide audience, people are able to sell their wares all over the world.
Obviously there is more work to be done and there are still some areas that lack adequate broadband coverage. If you live in a community that does not, this is a good time to check into options that may work for your area. The future is now!
Google is really trying to bring Blogger into the world of modern blogging… they are now letting all their users SCHEDULE posts. In other words you can WRITE it now, and post it in the future.
Despite this good news, I’ve got to say I can’t figure them out at all. I have a personal blog on blogger on a totally NON Business related subject. I doesn’t even have Google Adsense on it for crying out loud! But the dim witted algorithm at Google targeted it as a SPAM blog…
It’s about 10 months old with 63 posts. So now I have to do character recognition until some Google person actually looks at the site to learn they’ve messed up. How aggravating!
Here’s an online marketing foul up I hope you don’t make.
It’s an easy one to make and it stood out as I was reading the website. Maybe because of the tone of the ad copy, something about “Welcome, my friends, to the underground world of Sandbag training!” started to make me wonder if I’d found an exercise website or a drug lair.
Then I found this addition error… can you catch it?
In case you missed it, $149 and $300 don’t add up to “valued at over $549!”
It’s a simple mistake anyone could make… but as part of the total experience it makes you wonder …
A while back I posted something to help a friend who’s a Licensed Massage Therapist. Here’s the unsolicited email it provoked from someone selling their “Search Engine Optimization” services and my snide comments…
I was looking at websites under the keyword Spring House Massage Therapist and came across your site http://work-at-home.business-opportunities.biz . I see that you’re ranked 37 on page 4 in google.
I’m not sure if you’re aware of why you’re ranked this low but more importantly how easy it is to start getting higher listings in search engine results.
THANK GOD you emailed me! I chose the title “Work at Home Business Opportunities” for my blog just BECAUSE I was trying to target the keyword Spring House Massage Therapist! You see I have this secret theory that people wanting to learn about Spring House Massage Therapist try to fool Google by actually searching for key words abotu stay at home moms, working at home, mompreneurs, and stuff like that because that’s how people searching for information on Spring House Massage Therapist think you seel.
You mean that talking about Home Business, Telework, and Work at Home Jobs hasn’t put me in Google’s “Top 10″ listings for Spring House Massage Therapist?
And after I paid for all those expensive “Search Engine Optimization” ebooks too!
I’m truly flabbergasted!
What do you suggest I do? Maybe write some blog posts that are actually on the subject of Spring House Massage Therapist?
And your fee’s only a thousand bucks?
Wow… that’s dirt cheap!
Making your website look “Googley” probably won’t help it rank higher all by itself, but I wonder if it would make our customers/readers seem more comfortable and therefore more likely to trust, buy, request more information, etc.?
Here’s the post that made me start thinking about that…What makes a design “Googley”?
Here’s what Google themselves came up with:
1. Focus on people—their lives, their work, their dreams.
2. Every millisecond counts.
3. Simplicity is powerful.
4. Engage beginners and attract experts.
5. Dare to innovate.
6. Design for the world.
7. Plan for today’s and tomorrow’s business.
8. Delight the eye without distracting the mind.
9. Be worthy of people’s trust.
10. Add a human touch.
