Healthy Aging - How to Transform Your Body Into a Fat Burning Machine


Sadly to say that most people are misguided by the 'secret formula' in which it is usually hidden behind health scams and misinformation. The obesity spreads when the food products keep increasing in supermarket shelves. The problem is that we are depending on these foods at supermarkets based on its convenience and tastiness.

How do you get rid of this problem in order to maintain our health?

You can become fit as a fiddle when you start to practice healthy eating lifestyle. Basically, there are four components that will change your body into a fat burning machine.

The First Component: How Much to Eat?

You need to eat lots of the right foods to manipulate your homeostasis mechanism (or also known as negative feedback mechanism). Eating plenty of delicious food can assuage your hunger pangs. Therefore, you can eat it as many as you want.

The Second Component: How Often to Eat?

It is able to stabilized blood sugar level and it lowers the risk of having diabetes due to low and stable blood sugar level. For your information, blood sugar level normally is higher after meals and lowest in the morning.

That is why having enough breakfast meal able to Supply adequate amount of sugar to our body. Bear in your mind that sugar is the main source of producing energy the fuels various metabolic processes in our body.

The Third Component: How to Eat?

Most of us eat for emotional or social reasons. For example, you will be a center of attention when you choose not to eat in your friend's invitation to a dinner party where plenty of delicious foods are served. In some cases, especially when you are feeling moody or happy, you have a huge appetite that you can eat like a horse.

You can only eat when you are feeling hungry. When you are eating, please do the following steps:

Do not weight your food - A common assumption that heavier food can contribute more fats in your body. Do not count calories - Your friends and family will freak out when they see you calculating with your calculators while they are dinner. Make sure your food has the right combinations - Every meal contains a perfect combination of protein and carbohydrates. Eating them both together able to convert carbohydrates to energy rather than to fat.
The Fourth Component: What to eat?

You have to 'reformat' what you have learned over the past few years about protein-rich and low-carbohydrate diets. You will feel extremely tired when have less energy Supply due to low carbohydrate diet. In order to replenish the scarce supply of carbohydrates in our body, make sure you consume the right carbohydrates so that it will not make you grow fat.

Accounting Is Dead - Long Live The Accountant!

Accounting Is Dead - Long Live The Accountant!


It was 1980 when IBM introduced the PC, the first micro-computer to be built with "off the shelf" components. Bill Gates, a college dropout tinkering with computers in his garage, got the contract to develop the operating system for them, and retained the rights to also market copies of the software as his own product, thanks to the brilliant negotiating of his mother, who was also his attorney.

With contract in hand, and ,000 from his mother, Gates then bought rights to an operating system named QDOS from Tim Paterson, it's creator.

Then, in 1983, Phoenix Technologies introduced an IBM compatible BIOS, and clone manufacturers started rolling personal computers off assembly lines in droves. Computerization of small accounting firms took hold and computers were no longer just the province of the large firms.

The "Big 8" lasted until 1987. The "Big 6" until 1998. And, the "Big 5" until 2001.

Now it's the "Big 4" and they're struggling.

Add the "brain drain" the big accounting firms experienced as they went through the "go-go" days of the 80's and 90's consulting, when the consulting divisions of the large firms were billing ten and twenty times as much in non-audit services as the audit division was billing. Salaries being paid to consulting divisions were growing at astronomical rates and salaries for new auditors were in the tank.

Then, we had the "outsourcing" and "offshoring" fads.

Yeah, they're fads. Wages will rise, and the work will come back (if there's any left to be done, after industry declines to unheard of levels).

Now we have Cloud Computing. It's not computing "in the Cloud." That's just a fancy and extremely large computer network. You think of it as "in the Cloud" because its almost like you don't really have something in your hand that contains your data like you could when it was on your local hard drive instead of one somewhere across the country.

Yeah, we've gone through a lot in the world of accounting practice, and as technology advances, were going to go through a lot more.

The computer revolution has only just begun. But, it's not just "computers" per se, there's a whole litany of things that were spawned by computerization.

Now you have things like POS systems in retail establishments, inventory and process control systems in manufacturing, and data mining through information retrieval systems. The whole spectrum of tools and systems to give answers to questions that no one ever thought to ask before. The first phase was the consulting craze that killed off Arthur Anderson.

Of course consulting started before that, but the rise of the consulting firm as a commodity began in earnest when the big accounting firms started moving in where McKinsey & Co., and Boston Consulting Group (BCG) had once ruled the roost with their "secrets." Consulting became a commodity because the data was available. The data was available because the world was computerized on Powerful computers sold at rock bottom prices.

Soon, every unemployed or semi-employed "expert" was hanging out their shingle as a consultant.

Then the niches arose.

Accountants had been auditors and tax professionals. Now they were rate auditors, loan auditors, internal auditors, and even IT auditors. Tax preparers became tax planners and sold investment advice. Auditors became forensic experts and testified about fraud. Niches were created, and then niches were broken further into sub-niches and specializations. Before long everyone became an expert just like everyone else, and the result became that no one was looked at as an expert.

Auditors began to tout "Assurance" services and investing in politicians much as the AMA (American Medical Association) and the Trial Lawyers Association had done before them, until they were able to start providing "Forward Looking" statements (as long as they were labeled "Forward Looking") and they were able to get limits to liability enacted.

With all this change and confusion in the industry, even the auditors couldn't get a break. There are rising calls for the removal of the SEC audit requirement for public companies, with the demand that audits be left as a choice for firms rather than be a requirement.

And, the nail that will drive the lid onto the coffin? Fair Tax. National Sales Tax. Or some other theory that eliminates the IRS. (Could this be why the new healthcare bill was written, to change the function of the IRS from tax collector to healthcare billing service?)

With the elimination of the IRS, and the elimination of the requirement for audited statements, what is left for the poor accounting profession?

It could be consulting, or it could be account services, or transaction services, or any of a myriad of niche like specialties. It could be anything "below the line," or it could be something "above the line" such as asset management, fraud control, legal support or forensics.

Trying to figure out what will become of the industry is like fortune telling, all smoke and mirrors. But, because you need to be able to make strategic choices, it's the only option you have if you want your practice to thrive.

One suggestion is that you do what you were taught in school, and what you talk to your clients about doing. You perform an SWOT analysis. Yeah, the good old SWOT analysis. Just sit down with a piece of paper and write out your strengths and your weaknesses, what opportunities you have and what threats you face. Write it down and study it.

Personally, I think that one of the strengths of the typical accountant is their familiarity with numerical analysis. So, where are the opportunities for numerical analysis? Maybe you also have a legal streak. You could add contract analysis, and revenue recognitions to the list of services you offer.

There are all types of niches and services that will require the skills of a "number" person, and as information becomes more database driven, the opportunities for growth and specialization abound. They just aren't the simple debits and credits of yesteryear.

Earthquake Proof Cabinets - A Wise Home Improvement

Earthquake Proof Cabinets - A Wise Home Improvement


Are you looking for a home improvement project to do around the house; something that will add value to your home, but not a project that will send you to the poor house during this recession? If this is the type of a project you are looking for I have a couple of ideas.

First of all, it makes sense to retrofit your cabinets around the home. Especially if you have young children, and you want to make sure they don't get into any items that could hurt them. But even if you don't, you might consider retrofitting your cabinets and making them Earthquake proof.

Despite what people think there's no such thing as earthquake season and quakes can come at any time. Even those people who do not live in known Earthquake areas may be jolted into a rude awakening when the ground below them starts shaking. It makes sense to do the obvious home improvements to keep your family from harm during a big quake; such as strapping your water heaters, and fastening your largest and heaviest furniture to actual studs in the wall.

Still, you mustn't forget all your breakable items there in all your cabinets. When a big one comes, the cabinet doors will fly open and everything on the shelves will be launched like a missile through the kitchen, across rooms, and onto the floor of your home.

This can make a complete mass, not to mention cost you thousands of dollars in broken goods, or even destroyed family heirlooms. I hope you will please consider this very easy home-improvement project. One that must be done before the big one comes. Think on it and then take action.
