Weight Loss News
Would you be interested in a supplement that is clinically proved to decrease body fat, increase lean muscle mass, lower cholesterol and triglycerides, lower insulin resistance, enhance the immune system, increase metabolic rate, and possibly decrease the risk of breast cancer? I know, I know, right about now you’re thinking “Yeah right!” However, there is a supplement that has been proven through over 200 clinical studies to do all these things. That supplement is CLA, conjugated linoleic acid. CLA is a slightly modified version of the Omega-6 fatty acid linoleic acid. Linoleic acid, in excess can actually have a negative impact on health, however, research suggests CLA is necessary to offset some of the negatives of linoleic acid. By now most of us have heard of the health benefits of essential fatty acids or EFA’s on the market, mostly due to the astounding results achieved by supplementation. The recommended dosage of CLA is 3,000 mg daily. Fortunately, most CLA supplements are 1,000 mg capsules, which means you will only need to take 3 capsules daily, one with each meal, in order to meet the dosage used in the studies. Do you want to know the best thing about CLA? There are no known side effects. One of the best forms of CLA can be found in the supplement Censor manufactured by NDS. Censor is actually a combination of CLG as well as other beneficial Omega 3, 6 & 9 fatty acids. Censor is available at Nutrition Depot, an independently owned, total nutrition store, located in downtown Conyers, directly across from Home Depot and Wal-Mart. Come in to learn more about CLA or to ask any other health and nutrition questions.
For advice on CLA or any other nutritional issue come by our store!

How To Choose A Financial Professional As you navigate the financial world, you’ll most likely deal with a wide array of investment choices, constantly changing tax laws, estate-planning issues and other areas. And then, to make things even more complex, you’ll have to consider your own risk tolerance, time horizon and individual goals. If you’re like most people, you don’t have the time and expertise to create, monitor and adjust your investment strategy by yourself, so you’ll need to get some help. But how can you choose a financial professional who is right for you? You’ll need to do some research, possibly by interviewing a few candidates. Here are a few questions you may want to ask: * Do you have experience working with people like me? Ideally, you’d like to work with someone who has experience in helping people like you — that is, people with similar income and asset levels, family situations, goals and so on. The more familiar a financial professional is with people like you, the better that person will be at helping you identify the appropriate investment moves. * Do you have a particular investment philosophy? Look for someone with a thoughtful, reasoned philosophy on investing. As a general rule, be suspicious of anyone promising you big, quick gains. The best financial professionals seek to help their clients achieve positive long-term results through disciplined, persistent and sensible investment moves. * How often will you communicate with me? If you’re going to entrust your hard-earned financial resources with someone, you’ll want that person to communicate with you regularly as to how you’re doing and what changes you may need to make.
Elly Dalton
How often will you receive investment statements? How many times a year will you meet to review your progress? Can you have face-to-face consultations whenever you need them? These are the types of questions you’ll want to ask any prospective financial advisor. * Will you be my primary contact? If you seek a oneon-one relationship with a financial professional, you’ll want that person to be your main contact, if not your exclusive one. You deserve the attention and expertise of a financial professional, so if you’re interviewing someone who seems as if he or she might try to “pass you along” to subordinates in the office, keep looking. * What services do you offer? If you want your financial professional to help you create a unified investment strategy, you’ll also want that person to help you implement it — which means he or she needs access to a full range of investment and money management products and services. * How are you paid? Financial professionals are compensated in any of a number of ways. They may work on a fee-only basis, with the fee either agreed upon in advance or based on the level of assets under management. And some financial professionals work in a combined fee-and-commission arrangement. From an investor’s point of view, one method of compensation may not be “better” than the others; nonetheless, it’s important for you to fully understand how your financial advisor will be paid. By doing your homework in advance, you can develop a solid relationship with a qualified financial professional — someone who will be with you far into the future.
