What are the Top Seven Foods to Help The Anti-Aging Process?

Everyone wants to look younger but how many actually do something about it, whether it is changing their lifestyle to incorporate fitness, taking effective supplements, eating the right foods and educating themselves about nutrition.   For our blog we wanted to talk about some superfoods that help you lose the aging process and be youthful. 

If you're over 40 and want to defy each passing year while promoting more youthful hair, nails and skin, the below 7 foods will help you stock up on some of the most powerful anti-aging nutrients around.

1.  Olive Oil - Not only do the monounsaturated fats contained in olive oil support healthy arteries and a healthy heart, but olive oil also contains polyphenols, a potent anti-oxidant that may help prevent a number of age-related diseases.  We recommend organic extra virgin olive oil for the most anti-aging bang for your buck.

2.  Red Wine - That's right, a glass of wine daily may indeed have a positive effect on your health due to its resveratrol content, a unique anti-oxidant that can help fight against diabetes, heart disease, and age-related memory loss.

3.  Beans - The unique proteins in beans thicken and strengthen your hair cells, so you can enjoy a full head of hair as you lengthen your years. :)

4.  Brazil Nuts - Brazil nuts are rich in selenium, a mineral which aids in the production of the anti-oxidant glutathione to help slow down the skin aging process.  Just 2 nuts a day will provide you with enough selenium to reap its anti-aging benefits.

5.  Tomatoes - Tomatoes are rich in lycopene, which has been shown to support heart health and healthy cholesterol levels as you age.  Lycopene also acts as a natural sun block to keep skin youthful and protected from harmful UV rays.

6.  Raspberries & Blueberries - These two berries contain important anti-oxidants to help offset inflammation and oxidative stress that contribute to skin aging and wrinkles.  Just one serving of either or these berries contains more anti-oxidants than 10 servings of most other fruits and vegetables!

7.  Organic Eggs - Despite the bad rap eggs get because of their cholesterol content, which is based on completely erroneous science, eggs are rich in biotin and iron which help to promote healthy, youthful skin and hair.

How to Become a Better Listener - Some Tips

You have two ears and one mouth for a reason.  It is meant for you to focus on listening before speaking.

 Being a good listener can help you in every aspect of your life -- with friends and family to colleagues and clients at work. For a number of reasons, though, listening has become a lost art, and chances are, you’ve been on both sides of distracted listening…checking your phone or email…multitasking…thinking about the next thing on your to-do list…interrupting with your own thoughts or thinking about your response while someone else is talking…and the list goes on.

The reality is that being a good listener, although overlooked, is SO important to influencing and connecting with others, and it’s an absolute necessity to build in every area of your life. After all, you have two eyes, two ears and one mouth for a reason. 

Here are 17 steps to up your listening game, a key to unlocking both your personal potential and the potential of your relationships.

• Don’t try to solve people’s problems right out of the gate.
• Repeat what someone else is telling you to: 1. Make sure you’re understanding; and 2. Reassure the person that you’re listening.
• Make eye contact.
• Check your body language and match it with the emotion of the conversation and the other person talking.
• Do NOT interrupt the other person when they’re talking -- don’t jump in to finish their thought.
• Don’t use “nudging” words like “uh-huh”.
• Don’t finish people’s sentences, don’t talk over them and don’t give them words.
• Give acknowledging statements after someone is done talking.
• Where appropriate, use physical touch to anchor in the emotion.
• Use appropriate follow-up questions instead of jumping from one question to another one that’s completely irrelevant.
• Ask questions of understanding to deepen the conversation.
• Don’t project forward what you think the other person is going to say and don’t stop paying attention so you don’t forget the point you think is more important.
• Don’t multitask and don’t check your email or phone.
• Focus on the present -- not your upcoming schedule.
• Be in the moment and try to meet the other person where they are.
• Use words and phrases that the other person seems to be using repeatedly.
• Try to match and mirror the other person’s pace, tone, volume and body language.

Practice your listening skills. People will like you more. You will learn more. And it takes pressure off you.

10 Ways to Support a Small Business w/ AIMC Business Solutions

 Owning a small business is hard but so rewarding.  Unlike a job where you are working for someone else's success, when you own your own business, the work you put into it rewards you with hard earned success.  You build your own brand and relevance in the world by offering a product or service that is all yours.   

One of the hardest parts of owning a business is getting support from your own family and friends.  Sometimes, whenever you mention your business, you may get the eye roll or you can tell they are spacing out.  The same friends or family would not think twice when they see their favorite celebrity with a product in their hand and go purchase it.  It is unfortunate that most people are so media driven when they should be helping their own friends and family be successful building a great business.

We need to help small business more than ever especially after the recent pandemic.  The year 2020 saw a lot of businesses fold all because of government induced shutdowns.  Some businesses recovered this year and some became success due to increased social media campaigns and/or digital traffic.

Social Media is very powerful since there is more engagement compared to other marketing channels.   I wanted to provide ten tips here for you to do in the next few weeks to help out your fellow business owner friend or family member.  Pick five people you know that own a business and complete the following ten steps.  You will help increase your own social media ranking as well as help your friend be successful.   Let's do this together since small business, not big business, will keep the economy strong!!

1. Follow them on Social Media - follow their business page on each social media platform

2. Like Their Posts - when you see a post, like it, it takes a second

3. Share Their Posts - share their post to your newsfeed with a comment

4. Comments on Their Posts - provide an insightful comment to their post

5. Tag Friends Who Like Them - tag a friend and use the power of second-level networking

6. Post Photos of Their Products, Tag Them and Use Their Hashtags - tagging your friend helps them get the exposure they need and maybe a new customer

7. Tell Friends About Their Products and Encourage Them to Shop There

8. Write Reviews - write a review a week for one of your friends' businesses

9. Sign-up for Their Email Newsletter - you may learn a thing or two!

10. Send Them a Message or Email and Tell Them You Appreciate All They Do
