All cells in the body need water, oxygen, glucose and glutathione. The levels of glutathione in our cells could be predictive of how long we will live. For exhaustion and chronic fatigue sufferers reading this, the information that follows is vital to you!

What is glutathione? It is a tri-peptide, or a small protein composed of the amino acids cysteine, glycine and glutamate. Glutathione is made in every cell of the body and it must be made by the 3 amino acids, cysteine, glycine and glutamate. Your body is either replicating healthy cells and delaying the aging process or it is replicating unhealthy cells and speeding up the aging process. Every cell makes and recycles glutathione.The largest amount of glutathione in our bodies is found in the liver, lining of the lungs, kidney, heart and brain.

Why is glutathione important?

1. It is a major antioxidant produced by the cell. It is able to neutralize free radicals and recycle other antioxidants such as vitamins C & E. Glutathione actually helps your body more efficiently use the other antioxidants.

2. It is the body’s most effective detoxifier. It binds to undesirable toxins, pollutants, and cancer-causing chemicals, etc. and excretes them through the urine or gut.

3. It improves immune response

4. It helps regulate the cell’s vital functions, such as synthesis and repair of DNA.

5. It contributes to the production of red blood cells.

6. It helps in wound healing.

7. It helps build lean muscle mass.

8. It inhibits harmful viruses and bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.

9. It increases one’s aerobic exercise capacity by up to 13%.

While glutathione is produced naturally in our bodies, glutathione levels decrease with age at the rate of 1% a year after age 20. In addition, levels of glutathione can be reduced by stress, exercise, infection, injury and environmental toxins. People who live to 100 years of age, will have glutathione levels similar to 30-50 year olds.

Reduced glutathione levels can result in lower energy, insomnia, cellular damage, inflammation, accelerated aging, and a weakened resistance to various diseases, including heart disease, cancer, arthritis and many other diseases. People with any defined disease have decreased glutathione levels compared with healthy individuals the same age. Low levels of glutathione are actually a marker for over 200 medical conditions. It could be said that low levels of glutathione equal cellular aging, disease, and death!

Glutathione helps to improve mental function, increases energy, improves concentration, permits increased exercise, and improves heart and lung function.

WHAT FOODS ARE HIGH IN GLUTATHIONE?

Avocado, watermelon, asparagus, walnuts, grapefruit, potato, acorn, squash, strawberries, orange, tomato, cantaloupe, broccoli.

Glutathione must be produced within the cell itself. Oral glutathione in pill form is not absorbed and will be eliminated by the liver before reaching the blood stream. Injectable glutathione is degraded by the time it gets to the cell and much of it cannot pass the cell membrane.

HOW CAN A PERSON INCREASE THEIR GLUTATHIONE LEVEL?

In addition to being able to get glutathione in some foods (as listed above), the best way to increase glutathione is through a glutathione precursor. Since glutathione is produced within the cell itself and cannot be easily absorbed into the cell, a person needs to consume a product that will enable the body to produce its own glutathione within the cells. This product would be considered to be a glutathione precursor.

A good glutathione precursor helps your body neutralize free radicals and build healthy cells. Your body replaces about 1% of your cells everyday. Your skin, body, organs, tissue are all constantly in a state of regeneration. Otherwise, your body cells are constantly dying and being regenerated. Thus, in about 3 months time, your cells and you, as a person, can make positive strides in getting healthier!

Case studies can be an effective B2B promotional tool especially when your products and services are intangible, expensive, highly technical or provide benefits that are not instantaneously derived upon purchase. Supporting marketing collateral that tells the stories of other customers’ experiences with what you are selling are often useful to share with prospects during the sales process. Case studies can be a powerful means to promote the benefits of a product or service like this. A good case study follows a specific formula that will optimize its effectiveness. If you’ve been nominated, asked or commissioned to write a case study, and you have little experience the following is a guide to writing an effective case study.

To Begin

Just like any kind of writing, when you are writing a case study the point of your content is to show the reader a certain perspective. You do not just want to tell them something. You want to demonstrate it so that the benefits become tangible in their mind. An effective case study highlights how a specific situation was initially identified, which solution was selected to resolve the issue, and a summary of the final results. Many case studies, especially in the IT world, tend to be short, around 300-500 words. As a general rule, aim for three pages, and include one graphic per page at most. A graphic can be an effective tool for readers that are visual, but with any more than one graphic, you clutter the message and run the risk of making the case study seem like a hard sell.

The Title

In your case study title you should include a benefit of the product or service. Instead of writing “Technology Case Study”, say “Case Study on How X Improved Sales by Y.” This way you will grab the reader’s attention from the start.

The Structure

The structure of most case studies includes three main sections: the situation (or problem), the solution (or implementation) and the results (or future forecast). The opening section that outlines the situation or problem being faced should carry a punch. This section has to discuss some sort of pain or problem that the reader can relate to. Next you should demonstrate how your product or service resolved a critical business issue. What you’re saying in this section is that if the reader chooses your product or service their situation or problem can also be resolve.

The Meat

The more specific the case study, the more effective it will be. Concentrate on how the meat of the case study, which is the solution or service, addresses a very specific issue. The entire case study is built around this single issue, so you should make sure to fine tune it and make it clear to the reader. Don’t dilute the case study by addressing more than one issue.

The Numbers

Stick to one area and explain how your product or service can solve the problem you outlined in measurable and quantifiable terms. Where possible, support your case study with statistics, figures and tables. Mention the measured Return On Investment (ROI) and explain how the investment in your product/service pays for itself. Demonstrate how you can substantiate this; otherwise, your argument loses credibility. If possible, discuss how the solution can help contain costs. This area is very important, as budgets are always a sensitive issue to businesses. If you can illustrate through numbers how a similar company saved a certain amount of money by adopting your product or service, you’ll certainly capture the reader’s attention. To reduce barriers, demonstrate how your solution improves operations. Show how it fits into the business process. Mention how your system plugs into other applications or expensive business critical applications. Make sure the statistics stand out so that the reader can easily digest them and then remember them later on.

Finalization

Use your judgment when compiling the final case study document. Avoid making it too technical or overloading it with excessive statistics. A case study should be an easy read, so make sure you are not making your explanation unnecessarily complicated.

The Reward

The long term reward of writing an impressive case study is that they stand out. Decision-makers will use them as a source of reference. Your case study will be seen as a credible and reliable source of information and make the decision-makers think that this is the type of company people want to do business with.

Community College Transfer Guide

Children who do good in studies enjoy more advantages than others. Hence its very important to help your children maintain good academic record. Here are 10 ways to help your children excel in studies:

1. Give Them A Good Start

Young children are learning machines. They learn faster than adults. You can give your children, especially if they are below five years of age, a good start in education by using these simple techniques…

a) Read aloud stories from books. This helps to develop reading and imagination skill in children.

b) Talk a lot with your children. This helps to develop language skill.

c) Put on music for young children. Teach them to sing simple songs. Research is showing that music is not only good for overall health, but it is good for brainpower too!

d) Explore things with them, like—toys, various objects at home, plants, flowers, etc. See, touch, turn around the objects in your hands along with your children. Ask questions and discuss the objects playfully. This helps your children to learn more about their surrounding world.

e) Answer your children’s questions. If you don’t know the answer, then try to find it out together.

2. Have a good library in your home

a) Atmosphere of reading, learning and parents’ habits strongly influence children’s behaviour. When parents take interest in reading, their children also develop interest in reading.

b) So build a library of good books in your home. Display books prominently in the area where children see most.

3. Link School with Fun

a) Many children don’t like to go to school. Hence, you can use some simple tricks to arouse their interest in school.

b) Don’t just ask about what was taught in school, or what homework has been given. First ask your children, “What interesting thing happened in school today?” “What fun you had in school today?” “What you and your friend did in school today?” This would make your children aware of enjoyable things in school.

c) Such questioning creates an impression in children’s mind that school is not just about teachers and studies, but it is also about friends, play and fun.

d) Also, if your children do not like to go to school, then check whether they are having any problem at school (for e.g. bullying.) Then try your best to solve it. You can also ask the teachers to help you in such cases.

4. Let them dance to their own Rhythm

Every child may not like to get up early in the morning or do homework right after returning from school. Some like to play first. Some like to study at night, some at morning. Then there are children who want complete silence during studying, while others don’t care if there is silence or not.

Let your children study at a time when they feel comfortable. Let them study in a style they like—what matters is that they should complete their study work on time and learn the study material properly.

5. Replace Scolding with Selling Benefits!

Children get easily distracted by TV and games. Parents have to repeatedly remind them to sit and study. Once a parent told us that his son did not study regularly, even when he scolded him repeatedly “Study or you will fail.”We asked him to use another trick. We told him to remind his son to study by saying, “Study well, you will live a rich life.” Soon his son scored 85% in exam, which was a big improvement over his past performance!

Scolding is not known to give good results. But we have witnessed miracle-like transformation of disinterested students into top performers, when they were made to realize that good performance in studies leads to rich life style. And poor performance leads to poor living.

6. Don’t Do Negative Programming

“You are so lazy, you don’t do your homework.”

“You are dull, you don’t remember anything.”

“Study, or I will shut you up in your room.”

If you think this kind of remark will make your children reach eagerly for their books, then forget it. More probably, they will be hurt and angry. Even if they do reach for their books, they will not be reading it happily. What’s more damaging is that, if children are frequently scolded, threatened, or worse, beaten to do their studies, then they begin to associate studies with hurt,fear, anger, and pain. That’s why many children find excuses to avoid studying when they grow up.

7. Help Your Children to Use Better Study

Success in studies depends very much on mental attitude and use of smart study methods. Our experience shows that even a failure or average student can improve his or her performance by using better study techniques eg methods To Learn Fast and Score High

8. Encourage Your Children To Be Curious

Answer your children’s questions. If you don’t know the answer, tell them, “Let’s search for it together.” And search for it in books at home. Or bring books from library. Or look it up on internet. Such actions will make your children realize the value of knowledge, expose them

to methods of searching for information. And also make them happy that you care enough to answer their questions.

9. Connect Learning With Day-to-Day Life

I had once gone to picnic with a group. In our group there was one couple with two young boys. As we were traveling on the road, the father pointed out, “Look, that is the area where mining is done. You have a chapter on it in your science textbook, isn’t it?”His two boys looked out of the window excitedly and began rattling off, “Yes, we have studied it. The name of this mining area is…” By pointing out the mines, the father had brought the topic out from the textbook into real life, thus making it more interesting for his children. Indirectly he made his children realize that what they study in books have value in real life. Whenever possible, link what your children study with everyday life. Show it to them. Find ways to use the information in daily life. If they learn about plants, ask them to study the plants in the garden. If they learn about animals, take them to zoo. Pay visit to museums and science exhibitions. Now this may not be always possible. But do this whenever you can. Try to make learning interesting.

10. Give Them The Edge

Thousands of students pass out of college every year. How can your children stand out from this mass of degree holders? How can they survive and succeed in this age of cut-throat competition?

Give them additional, practically useful training. Like, Training for…

a) using their mind power more efficiently

b) using better study techniques

c) learning skills essential for career development

d) sharpening creativity

e) managing stress

f) developing good personality, etc.

Such training helps to build positive mental attitude, winning qualities, success skills, and inner confidence. This in turn translates to—success, peace, satisfaction and good life.
