Minimising the effect of infobesity

Posted on by Admin

We discussed the impact or side effects of infobesity in our last post. Let’s have a look at how to minimise the effect of infobesity no matter where you are. Though chances are that you are already aware of some these techniques, you never think about them seriously, which results in making the situation worse.

7 Easy ways to overcome the impact of information overload 

Use technology wisely: Though digital technology is the root cause of heavy overload of unnecessary information, you can use it to your advantage. If you notice that you are spending a lot of time filtering information, then spend some more time to find out tools, software and techniques that can do the job for you.

Stop multi-tasking if you cannot handle it: Multi-tasking is a good way to save time. However, it does not serve its real purpose if you get stressed, fall sick or goof up with any of the tasks that you want to accomplish in one go. The best way to overcome this problem is to focus on one task at a time.

Make important decisions in the morning: Though every individual’s bio-clock is set according to their lifestyle, eating and sleeping habits, research confirms that a majority of highly successful people are early risers and they make their important decisions in the morning hours. This simple habit keeps them stress-free the rest of the day. You need not be disappointed if you are not an early riser. The idea is to use your creative and productive potential when your physical and mental energy levels are at their peak, which is when you wake up after a good night’s sleep, no matter what time of the day it is.

Don’t work continuously: It has been proved that you cannot focus on one thing for more than 90 minutes at a stretch. Simply taking a 5-minute break every 90 minutes of work will boost your thinking and focusing power immensely.

Do similar tasks together: This is what requires managing capabilities. For example, if you are going to the market, make sure that you finish your shopping in one go instead of going twice or thrice. Accumulate all your shopping needs for one day and make time for it. If you have to pay bills, make sure that you pay all the bills for the month in one or two sittings instead of spending half an hour every alternate day.

Keep email, whatsapp and soclal media distractions away: You can spend your whole day on social media, if you wish. However, the result will be postponing or forgetting important tasks for that day. You may have to make time for those tasks any other day, which will mean postponing the task for that day to next day or getting stressed in order to accomplish the tasks of both days together.

Observe a Silent or Electronic-free day: This is my favourite method to de-stress myself. If you can manage, keep yourself away from cellphones, PCs, laptops or any type of electronic devices for at least one day every fortnight. This will work wonders for you.

In fact, my idea of enjoying a day off is to do nothing at all. No electronic media, no newspapers or magazines and not even watching TV for a day. If you can meditate, you will notice a remarkable change in your overall energy levels and ability to focus on the task at hand.

We’ll discuss mediation or yoga  in our next post.

Effect on relationships– If you spend more time in front of PC than with your spouse or family members, the relationships are bound to impacted.  Infobesity is one of the silent reasons of growing number of divorces.

Useless printed materials– A majority of businesses still rely on printed information. A lot of printed materials are produced that are neither read nor used.

Salmonella Scandal | Lactalis | Craon

Posted on by Admin

Perhaps for the first time, any food item is being withdrawn from the market due to contamination that caused an outbreak of Salmonalla. The producer of the baby milk powder, Lactalis, a French dairy giant, has announced that it would withdraw some 12 million boxes of powdered baby milk from the markets of some 83 countries in the world.

It is being said that the contamination was noticed at Lactalis factory based in Craon in France, but it was not handled carefully which resulted in its non-stop production and subsequent distribution across the world. Though the authorities have denied this allegation, it is clear that there was some lapse or human error during the production and quality checking phase.

A welcome step by Lactalis

In addition to quickly announcing the withdrawal of its baby milk powder from the market, the company sources say that it is a big lesson for them. The CEO of the company, Emmanuel Besnier has said

“But we will learn the lessons of this crisis and draw up a new health and safety plan that is even more strict in consultation with the authorities. Our absolute priority is maximum health safety,”

The company has been headed by Besnier for 17 years and there are some 300 plus employees in Craon factory. The production at the factory was stopped in December 2017.  However, Besnier said that  the production would start in a few months only after ensuring that health safety measures are in place. Further, he promised that appropriate compensation will be provided to the affected families.

Here is why your friends stay slim and you don’t | California

Posted on by Admin

You might wonder that some of your friends stay slim, fit and active even without doing anything special for weight loss, whereas you work hard to burn fat without any positive results. Is it in their genes to remain fit or do they eat something special for fitness? Whether you stay in California or Colorado, you can stay slim by following some simple tips.

Little known secrets of staying fit  naturally

1% difference in 100 different areas make you 100% different 

That is true not just for your professional life but for any area of your life that you want to transform. That is exactly what those people do unknowingly and remain fit and keep others awe-struck by their fitness. Lets take a look at some of the activities that you can do effortlessly and their effect will be remarkable and noticeable within a few weeks.

Effortless ways to burn fat or lose weight 

You must have heard that laughter is the best medicine. It really is. In fact, that is one  of the reasons that there are many laughter clubs across the country from Washington to California or Montreal to Mexico. If you simply keep yourself engaged in activities that make you laugh everyday for 15-20 minutes, you may burn up to 40 calories effortlessly.

Move for 5 minutes every 90 minutes to keep fit

You and your slim colleague work for the same company with similar profiles but he or she is fitter than you, why?  The secret of his/her fitness is to ensure that he/she moves every 90 minutes. No matter how sedentary your job profile is, you can stand, take a walk on the floor, go to the rest room or simply move from one corner to another. This simple activity will make a lot of difference.

Chilli and spices keep you fit and slim

You may not have noticed that those who remain fit are often the ones who eat chilli or spicy food. Eating hot chilli peppers in any form, keeps their metabolism fast and they burn fat unknowingly. Though, we are not suggesting that you start eating a lot of spices as that may be counter-productive, you can start eating chilli slowly. The key to fitness is moderation and balance. A little bit of spice helps you burn fat naturally. In fact there are products like Capsiplex that uses the power of chilli, capsicum and other similar herbs. If you cannot eat chilli then  consider giving Capsiplex a try. Click the image to order now.

Take the stairs, forget the elevator

If you are not in a hurry and your office is on 4-5 floors above the ground, you can take stairs instead of using the elevators. This will not only keep you slim but will also keep your heart healthy. However, care should be taken that you do not start climbing many floors on the first day itself. As it should be a habit and not a forced exercise program, the more naturally you let this habit develop, the better.

Stretch your body whenever you can

Stretching  can be highly effective for those who cannot join a regular gym or exercise program. In fact, that is one of the reasons that keep most animals fit, slim and agile. Animals stretch their bodies many times a day and in the process, keep themself fit. Read more about stretching.
