Broadcaster Press 7 August 9, 2016 www.broadcasteronline.com What Every Small Business Owner Needs to Know About Hiring How Foods Can Help Heal Common Ailments (StatePoint) When you’re not feeling well, conventional wisdom says you should reach for over-the-counter or prescription remedies. But many experts point out that foods have healing properties that can be complementary in helping to treat common ailments and prevent illness. “The concept of using food as medicine isn’t a new one; however, the evolution of society and science has moved us further from this concept,” says Grand Master Nan Lu, OMD, one of the country’s foremost teachers and practitioners of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and author of the new book “Digesting the Universe: A Revolutionary Framework for Healthy Metabolism Function.” “In my view, we are missing some of the most powerful and supportive steps we can take to remain well and prevent disease and illness.” Lu says the teachings of TCM can help patients deal with the root cause of their problems, rather than just eliminate the symptoms. While complex, he is offering a few quick insights into the subject of food as medicine. • Nutritionists today base their work on the physical and chemical properties of food alone, but this is just half the picture. “There are many immaterial things contained within food as well,” says Lu, who cites Qi, or vital energy, as a key aspect of food you can’t see. • The “right” foods won’t necessarily protect your health by virtue of their properties alone. Good organ function is also necessary for your body to process and digest what you eat. However, foods can help restore balance to an ailing organ system. • Listen to your body, not cultural beliefs about what is good or bad for you. Lu offers the example of a woman craving sugar or salt during her menstrual cycle. “Assuming she listens to the wisdom of her body and satisfies her craving, she’ll have some chocolate or eat some potato chips. This woman is doing something natural.” • You may have heard of the adage, “you are what you eat.” Lu says to also consider the phrase, “you are what you think,” and avoid a steady diet of negative emotions, which you then must digest and process. Your thoughts impact your body and health, he says. (StatePoint) Looking to staff up your small business? Don’t • The next time your stomach is upset, consider reaching for something natural.

New trade agreements will lead to more American made exports and U.S. higher-paying jobs. 2. High-tech advancement: International trade raises the incentive to innovate. It gives exporters and importers exposure to new ideas, tools and materials that make them more productive and lead to new goods for consumers. It also spreads new technology faster, raising technology standards in countries all around the world. Some of the top U.S. exports include aerospace products, automobiles and semiconductor chips, used in everything from smart phones to health devices.

Keeping American businesses strong: The most recent trade deal signed by the U.S. and 11 other countries called the Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) Agree- ment would eliminate more than 18,000 taxes and other trade barriers that various countries put on U.S. goods and services, according to the United States Trade Representative. Without these taxes holding them back, many experts believe that U.S. farmers, ranchers and manufacturers are better able to compete. 5. Preserving the environment: TPP also includes measures that protect oceans and combat wildlife trafficking and illegal logging. If reducing your household’s environmental impact is a priority for your family, upcoming trade agreements are a step in the right direction.
