Why livethesource Liquid Vitamins Are Better Than The Vitamins Pills

Livethesource Liquid vitamins are better than vitamins pills. Liquid vitamins are popular because many of us just do not like swallowing pills. Liquid vitamins are not only an answer for those who have an issue ingesting pills or problems absorbing tablets. Liquid vitamins are a good alternative for folks that simply don't like pills, regardless of motive.

Supplements can be essential to ensure adequate vitamin D intake, this is particularly true as you move further from the equater. Nutritional supplements will not make amends for fatty deep-fried food, high consumption of carbs and unbalanced nutrition. Vitamin supplements not only lack a number of the significant substances present in whole foods quite a few can be loaded with sugars. Livethesource has no sugar. Supplements are a dietary demand for every age group and extremely useful to assist with recollection improvement.

Natural supplements are often required, 750 to 1,000mg per day depending on the vitamin and the absorption rate. Supplements are excessive in of those with normal health and eating habits but no one has a diet like we had fifty years ago. Dietary supplements can be bought under brandnames and as generics.

Dietary supplements might be specifically helpful while being pregnant and for unique medical conditions.

The Proven Formula To Recruit New Distributors Easily: Part 2

Yesterday I told you that in my next post I would tell you about a proven formula to recruit new prospects into your livethesource and The Symbiotic Diet business faster than you ever though possible.

This is not theory. This is a proven method used by 10s of thousands of people all over the world and it has been around for at least 20+ years because that is when it was introduced to me.

Lets say you are at one of your kids baseball games and you are standing next to a person that you want to approach. First say something simple like "which one of the kids playing is yours?" they will respond with a variety of possible answers but that is not what is important. The conversation has started and now YOU LISTEN to the answers that they give you.

Then you continue to ask questions by what we call F O R M-ing them. People love to talk about themselves, their accomplishments, there family and even their troubles. However in todays fast paced world they hardly have anyone who even remotely cares what is happening in their life. So if you give someone the opportunity, they will talk if you will listen. You need to really take a genuine interest in what the other person is saying.

OK, now here is where F O R M comes into play because it gives you an easy way to keep them talking about themselves.

F stands for FAMILY  ask questions about their family. Examples: So how many kids do you have? What are there ages?
   Are you married? When they answer these type of questions, then you ask more questions from the answers they gave you.

   I know that you are probably thinking. People won't talk to me like this! Well they do and I do this every single day. So you can either make        excuses or make money. I chose to do this and make money :o)

O stands for OCCUPATION  ask questions about what they do and how long have they been there, do they like what they are doing, how did you get involved with that line of work etc: the answers to these questions will tell you a lot as far as possible interest in your Livethesource or The Symbiotic Diet opportunity, So LISTEN!

R stands for RECREATION  ask them questions about what they like to do for FUN during their leisure time. Do they get to do that activity as much as they want. What would they do if they didn't have to work etc:

M stands for MESSAGE, this part is where you give your message about Livethesource and The Symbiotic Diet or the vitamin D-3 booster you may not even want to mention the products at that point but just give them a taste of what you have and have them ask you questions.

I will usually say something like, I work with a company that deals with Nano technology to help resolve health related issues. Then I SHUT UP. Their curiosity always gets the best of them and then they ask me more about it.

Then I give them a little more very general information and then I change the subject. They almost always change the subject back to what I do.

These last steps are very important because now they are pursuing you instead of you pursuing them.

Most of the time it works like this:
Joe distributor meets a prospect at a ball game and after chit chatting Joe distributor trys to persuade them to come to a meeting or to let him come over so he can show them his super duper products. Most prospects will run from that approach...wouldn't you?

Try this formula F O R M it works if you work it and practice with it!

The Symbiotic Diet and Livethesource : Food Matters

1024x768 Normal 0 false false false

Today’s post isn't so much about the vitamin D3 or livethesource or even The Symbiotic Diet even though I am incredibly excited about the new symbiotic diet and how many people it can help.

Today’s post will be about something very important and I hope that you will pass it on to family and friends because it can literally save their lives.

About a year ago I joined livethesource as a distributor and to be honest, the reason that I joined was because I wanted to make a lot of money. Livethesource has a slogan " give us a year and we will change your life " I figured that was all a crock of bologna, but as I got into the company I did find a group of friends who really did care about each other and each others health. We dug into the areas of health and shared with each other what we had found and what was working and what wasn't working.

Here is what I want to share with you today. Last night my family sat down for an hour and instead of watching some of the junk on TV we watched a video that had a huge impact on all of us. I can't emphasize this enough. Actually last night was the second time we watched this video. This time we had a paper and pens to take lots of notes. You will want to do the same.

I promise that I will get back to writing about livethesource, vitamin D and The Symbiotic Diet within the next few days but for today and maybe the next couple of I will be writing about a video called Food Matters. ITS THAT IMPORTANT!

Livethesource - The Symbiotic Diet : How is your posture?

When it comes to livethesource and The Symbiotic Diet you may be asking your self, what does posture have to do with livethesource or the symbiotic diet? Posture has every thing to do with both products and the company, here is why.

I was with a potential distributor the other day who had tried and failed at several network marketing business over the years. As she was considering getting involved with livethesource as a distributor I asked her this question. What do you think caused you to fail with those other companies? Her reply was, that even though the companies had good products she didn't feel that there was a big enough difference between there product and a product they could get at a retail store for a lot less money.

NOTE: Those we not her exact words but when you listen carefully you can hear these types of things loud and clear.

She had no passion or belief about the products and services that she was trying to sell. As we continued on in our conversation (this should be 90% listening on your part) she started talking about a product she owned called, Vita-mix. She loves her Vita-mix and it showed. She doesn't sell Vita-mix but if she did she could probably sell a ton of them. She has so much passion and loves the product so much that she has great posture when telling some one about this product.

That is the posture that each of us need to develop when we talk to others about The Symbiotic Diet or The vitamin D3 booster or the livethesource daily multi-vitamin. People will follow you if you have great belief in the products that you promote.

If you don't have that kind of belief then you either need to develop the belief and posture or go to another company that has products you do believe in. Other wise you are just wasting your time and your sponsors time.

You can help develop your belief and posture by listening to others tell their story. Here are some good examples that I found.

The first one is a guy giving a review of The Symbiotic Diet on his web site here is the link http://www.squidoo.com/the-symbiotic-diet-a-radical-differance

Here are a couple of random videos about Livethesource. Just go out to YouTube there are a lot of them out there that can help you with your belief.

Vitamin D protects against colds

Journal of Infectious Diseases,  September 2010 A daily vitamin D supplement may help young men enjoy more sick-free days during cold and flu season. Studies have associated low vitamin D levels in the blood to a higher risk of type 1 diabetes and severe asthma attacks in children and, in adults, heart disease, certain cancers and depression. But whether vitamin D is the reason for the higher risk - and whether taking supplements can lower these risks - has not been studied earlier. The body naturally synthesises vitamin D when the skin is exposed to sunlight. Because rates of vitamin D insufficiency rise during winters in many parts of the world, researchers have been interested in whether the vitamin might play a role in people's susceptibility to colds, flu and other respiratory infections. Some past research has found that people with relatively lower vitamin D levels in their blood tend to have higher rates of respiratory infections than those with higher levels of the vitamin. Livethesource has a great Nano encapsulated vitamin d that has an extreamly high absorption rate into the cells. For more info go to www.elivethesource.com To study the role of vitamin D in protecting the body against respiratory infections, and cold in particular, researchers randomly assigned 164 male Finnish military recruits to take either 400 international units (IU) of vitamin D or inactive placebo pills every day for six months - from October to March, covering the months when people's vitamin D stores typically decline and respiratory infections are more common. At the end of the study, no clear difference was found between the two groups in the average number of days missed from duty due to a respiratory infection - which included bronchitis, sinus infections, pneumonia, ear infections and sore throat. Overall, over 50 percent remained healthy throughout the six-month study, versus 36 percent of the placebo group.  On average, men who took vitamin D missed about two days from duty because of a respiratory infection, compared with three days in the placebo group. This difference was not significant in statistical terms. However, men in the vitamin D group were more likely to have no days missed from work due to a respiratory illness.  The findings offer some evidence that vitamin D may protect against respiratory infections.
