Mental Vitamins - Taking a Picture
You must "see" it in your mind before you can have it in reality; that's the way progress is made and that's the way to start any journey toward something better.
A lot of people who join AdvoCare take the position of, "I'll try building a business for a few months and see what happens." With that kind of an "entry attitude" I can tell you what will happen; not much! Now, there are of course a few exceptions; a person "gives it a try" and things just seem to come together to the extent that the new person is both shocked and confused - shocked at how fast it happened and how large it's becoming, and confused at what made it possible. They still don't understand the marketing plan, they don't fully comprehend what's making their check grow and they aren't certain about what products to take in the beginning, but they just keep moving forward. I've often suggested that "action must precede results" and that's certainly true. But don't count on "being lucky" or about getting off to a fast start. AdvoCare is a marathon, not a sprint; it's a process, which means that we keep taking action, we keep talking to people, we keep making contacts, we keep taking the products, we keep listening to instruction, we keep accepting constructive criticism from those who know more, and - we keep our faith in the eventual positive outcome. In the final analysis, things will work out for you not in your time, but in God's time.
But there is one thing that you absolutely must do to enhance your chances that you are going to enjoy a much better future because of your AdvoCare journey, and that is that you must know why you are involved and you must know and see in your mind's eye what your purpose is and what your goals are. Without "seeing the future in advance" you're like the building contractor who has all kinds of materials delivered to an empty lot and then saying to his construction crew, "Ok, let's see what we can put together with all this stuff?" There are no building plans, no consideration has been given to how many rooms, how many square feet or anything specific, just "let's everybody start throwing some pieces together to see what we can come up with."
Just as the building contractor and the architect needs to see the finished product in advance by having a set of blueprints, so you must have your "Why I'm involved," your goals, and your purpose written on paper. I know you may be convinced that you already have it in your mind, but that isn't enough; you need to capture it on paper, because everything that exists or that will exist in the future is always finished twice - once on paper and once again in reality, when what was on paper is now complete. The only exception to this rule may be how God created all things; he may have finished it all on paper before he started and maybe he didn't, but we're humans and we have to do things differently. However, here's a word of caution; you can make contacts, you can share your product and your opportunity story, you can conduct Mixers, you can make some retail sales and you can begin building your team of people while you are putting together your blueprint for your better future; better than a perfect plan put together next month is an imperfect plan put together today, and combined with consistent activity; now, what is it that really drives you to want to make AdvoCare your vehicle for changing your life? Take a clear, focused picture of what you see and let it serve as a map for what you intend to do; that long-range goal will help you over, under, around and through the many short-term obstacles.

Multivitamins & Birth Weight Study
Multivitamins & Birth Weight Study
This interesting study published in the New England Journal of Medicine details an experiment where the researchers reported multivitamin supplementation in Tanzanian women helped reduce incidence of low birth weight, especially relative to gestational age.Based on the potential role of micronutrient deficiencies in prematurity, infant mortality and low birth weight, researchers randomly assigned 8,468 pregnant, HIV-free women (gestational age of fetus, 12 to 27 weeks) to receive daily multivitamins (including multiples of the recommended dietary allowance) or placebo; all participants also received prenatal supplemental iron and folic acid.
Incidence of low birth weight (defined as less than 2,500 g) was 7.8 percent in the vitamin group, compared to 9.4 percent in the placebo group. Supplementation reduced both the risk of a birth size that was small for gestational age and the risk of maternal anemia, although the differences were modest. Considering these results, they suggested multivitamins should be considered for all pregnant women in developing countries.
We have to believe that research such as this continues to underscore the benefits of taking a good daily multivitamin right here at home. And it’s safe to assume that more studies will continue to be performed and released that further support the need for filling your nutritional gaps. If you’re still not one of the millions of Americans who don’t take a good multi-vitamin like CorePlex everyday, you’re missing out (literally). And as the study shows, adding iron to that multivitamin is very important for pregnant women (check out CorePlex with Iron).

Good news just keeps on mounting for Omega-3's
It seems that hardly a week goes by without new information being released regarding the positive health benefits of regularly consuming omega-3 essential fatty acids.
The first study we want to bring to your attention demonstrated that science behind the cardiovascular health benefits of omega-3 fatty acids supports recommended daily levels of 500 mg, according to a recent review. “Compelling evidence” from studies involving almost 40,000 participants supports daily EPA plus DHA intakes of at least 500 mg per day for healthy individuals, while people with known heart disease or heart failure should aim for up to 1,000 mg daily, according to a review published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.
“This isn’t just hype; we now have tremendous and compelling evidence from very large studies, some dating back 20 and 30 years, that demonstrate the protective benefits of omega-3 fish oil in multiple aspects of preventive cardiology,” said Carl Lavie, lead author of the review and medical director of Cardiac Rehabilitation and Prevention at the Ochsner Medical Center in New Orleans.
