<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Do what you love and the necessary resources will follow. To
truly build something scalable, people have to know who you are and like you in
order to buy from you. To own your traffic means you control your business and
as a business grows, its main objective is to continue to meet market demands.
Scalability matters because growth means you are working with the customer’s
data and resources.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">When scaling, consider linear movement, operations, and the
next innovative campaign. The linear move will be upward mobility because you
were creative enough to garner audiences that trust you. When that event
occurs, this is the time to motivate them. Consider the motis operendi that you
used to get to this point. Your sales campaign is reflective on the
demographics. i.e. millennials are responsive to emails, while boomers are
comfortable with paper mail. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Both forms of communication are effective; therefore, pay
attention to systems and apply them to the various demographics. For without a
system you have a limited chance of sustaining growth. This project is not a
solo venture. To scale properly, one must have the right story, team, date and strategies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the goal is that they buy something, have
all payment methods available. Organize yourself so they won’t feel
uncomfortable handing over their money. In some industries, scale is a distinct
advantage and a clear competitive advantage. In others, scale creates
unnecessary overhead and fragility that leads to larger companies being
continually beaten by smaller competitors; therefore, make sure the items are
for the correct season. For example, Valentine merchandise should be available
in the 1<sup>st</sup> of February. Always market to the consumer, so that they
want what you are offering. <o:p></o:p></span></p>Jamaican Diasporahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05869400424363552973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128476928797665790.post-52698423344281240152024-01-08T12:20:00.002-06:002024-01-08T12:20:24.531-06:00What a life we live<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjaR_3qFIpuQgQSFinIGmMMF0YYahWq9p_UoD5bWYpXlbRnwmjQ1vpvbZq_5fvzfCuwJG3K-vOziy7-XrP0-pi327xHRCxyWMCiXb7-yxJnWojqNMzmjgAF29D2zScBEIM9B6XjSbFeKH-gpQSeqPKd9vkajw2zy_XT73HPhZp5x_9iP8MS-3dxUSXgef6M" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="259" data-original-width="400" height="207" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjaR_3qFIpuQgQSFinIGmMMF0YYahWq9p_UoD5bWYpXlbRnwmjQ1vpvbZq_5fvzfCuwJG3K-vOziy7-XrP0-pi327xHRCxyWMCiXb7-yxJnWojqNMzmjgAF29D2zScBEIM9B6XjSbFeKH-gpQSeqPKd9vkajw2zy_XT73HPhZp5x_9iP8MS-3dxUSXgef6M" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">We should choose wisely, this means life is like a

happiness. What can you create that adds value to a community? Whether it is
personal, professional, charity or hobby relationships, the keys to continuing
those relationships are communication and negotiation. Being human, our egos play a huge part in how
we resolve issues; Afterall, everything has an economic or political component.
When one understands that, valuing your self-worth will not be an issue for
making the right choice.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">The selection of one thing over another is originality and
brings the spotlight on your concerns. Being influenced by another idea is ok
but don’t make that your complete persona; furthermore, everyone else is taken
so embrace your unique spin to the situation. One way to get the spotlight on
your agenda is generosity aka Karma.<o:p></o:p></p><p class="MsoNormal">Give to get is energy and the universe operates in checks
and balances. The entrepreneurs Gary Vee
has a book title called: “Jab, Jab right hook” where he practices the art of
giving and look how successful he has become. Give but set up boundaries
because some people are takers and do not understand the law of reciprocity.<o:p></o:p></p><p>
</p><p class="MsoNormal">Now that you have established the dos and don’ts become
empathic in your surroundings, learn the needs of an audience, so that a common
touch can be established and a level of trust has been created. This is how
value recognized. If I bring this to the table, you will get that. Entrepreneurs,
pay attention to your surroundings.<o:p></o:p></p>Jamaican Diasporahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05869400424363552973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128476928797665790.post-14700632981211274352023-11-01T14:15:00.003-05:002023-11-05T15:37:50.793-06:005 Tips on the path to success<blockquote style="border: none; margin: 0px 0px 0px 40px; padding: 0px;"><p style="text-align: left;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9tVMQDvfvEJUeBOctngj18ZliD3rjEdchtV4lfQfy_5qJp5U7gnlWP5DFdwcj0bj3VVybbIaMawhmltxO1kTiJNLyifqdCF8gTCv9ZMckpTl4LocqSM-KhGBb0A5T5_Su0rjw0-MudbQKOzxh-48PuFLsnJTY98toy6aVPJ_ITqldao4eYBXz3dq-Eiy9/s622/new.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="416" data-original-width="622" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh9tVMQDvfvEJUeBOctngj18ZliD3rjEdchtV4lfQfy_5qJp5U7gnlWP5DFdwcj0bj3VVybbIaMawhmltxO1kTiJNLyifqdCF8gTCv9ZMckpTl4LocqSM-KhGBb0A5T5_Su0rjw0-MudbQKOzxh-48PuFLsnJTY98toy6aVPJ_ITqldao4eYBXz3dq-Eiy9/s320/new.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div></blockquote><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14pt;">Stay on the
path of success. Insecure people will try to block your progress for they fear
that your achievement is a loss for them. If you are disheartened, they will
feel emboldened to control you economical or politically. How do you circumvent
that? Here are five tips to keep you on the path of success:</span></p>

your accomplishments speaks for itself.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

It was filled with
promises such as I am going to make it to the gym as a regular part of my
weekly routine. For a while that was the case but that lasted only for a while.
Remember it’s not how you start but how you finish. Here are a few ways to hit
the reset button:<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Take on
some me time. No matter what commitments you have to others, you must take a
breather. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Run-through
declarations of bright. Showing appreciation gives you a chance to improve how
you speak about inspiration and acknowledge people who have made a favorable
mark in your life. By showing how grateful you are will let your supporters
know they are not being taken for granted.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Place the
phone on voice mail mode. Unfortunately, people interaction is becoming more
social media rather than one on one facetime.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The human touch or eye to eye contact still carries more weight than a
quick text.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4.<span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Create a
spark. Don’t let self-care be just a buzz word. Truly reclaim it for real
happiness. Create boundaries for if you don’t, what will be left for you? Rest
and retreat is a must. Attend yoga classes or get regular messages. Also,
meditation will settle you for the hectic events that will come your way.<o:p></o:p></p>Jamaican Diasporahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05869400424363552973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128476928797665790.post-21126779220305161422023-09-02T11:34:00.001-05:002023-09-02T11:34:19.479-05:00The Entrepreneur’s Vision<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjcy3Osc8ebEfj45EMS9DPdxvJtRLBO_HtR2S03vt77RcpQqmahevMpF33RhIde0wiLgT5Vp2fPEIF1dHsFpd4XJYEissuqDzvyE29EEnDL0xHZvhJvtRfmsFQ5_GGi248SkT9I5nqqBRHpFfzxFT0ISqL4IGf5NmXB-xG9iEqSxOS09LnyOj9DJL8nLByp" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="383" data-original-width="681" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjcy3Osc8ebEfj45EMS9DPdxvJtRLBO_HtR2S03vt77RcpQqmahevMpF33RhIde0wiLgT5Vp2fPEIF1dHsFpd4XJYEissuqDzvyE29EEnDL0xHZvhJvtRfmsFQ5_GGi248SkT9I5nqqBRHpFfzxFT0ISqL4IGf5NmXB-xG9iEqSxOS09LnyOj9DJL8nLByp" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">The word

mind, be sure to devise a solid business plan; develop a business structure,
for instance, create an LLC. If the business is in the US, use an EIN instead

for Black people on the continent and in the diaspora. Reparations should be
the remedy but in the meantime, how will Black people survive this information
age? One option is entrepreneurship. Solving problems is what entrepreneurs do
and this is done by strategic planning. This preplanning is similar to the game
of chess. Before a player makes a move, they think 3 or more moves ahead on the
layout of the board. Good entrepreneurs consider authenticity, nonlinear
patterns, quality and value.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Not long ago a Canadian restaurant
franchise company implemented these tools to entice millions to spend their
money to purchase Popeyes chicken sandwiches. They were able to pull of this
chess move by targeting American Blacks.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>By using urban slang and American Black dialect, many believed the “authenticity”
of the so called tension. The long lines of Black people at the various Popeyes
restaurants verified the social proof that was needed for the campaign. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Bypassing the traditional advertising
route of TV, radio and billboard, they used social media for their nonlinear
pattern. Each year, more and more people are leveraging their cell phones to
get information. This is how entrepreneurs can become successful. They think
outside the box and find a new of doing things, a brilliant chess move. Go
where the people are consuming and relate to them by using language and
symbolism.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">If a product or service if not of
quality, why would the customer buy? What was the psychological incentive to
entice any one to stand in line for a chicken sandwich? It was scarcity<i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">. Buy this now or you will miss out.</i><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The customer believed that they will benefit?
This best way to capture ones attentions is branding. Brand names provide a
feeling, social prof and worth. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In chess
terms, how does the rook get the queen? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Create value.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Everything has a price. What are
you willing to pay for it? Would you stand in line for hours? Do you purchase
or trade for it? Creating a desire provides a market rate. The selling price
point is when the public will buy. Always think of how to motivate others.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, did the American Blacks benefit
economically? They didn’t. They made a Canadian company millions of dollar but
not for their community. Remember this is a Canadian company that markets
itself as an American Southern fried chicken restaurant; juxtapose this issue
with the current state of reggae music.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Reggae music is now played on every
continent. These new performers will eventually not need the Jamaicans to
create the authentic sound and do it for themselves. Jamaicans will have to
create wealth by narrowing its culture diversity. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is our niche and we should control the
production and distribution to ensure income for Jamaican people. For if we
don’t, other ethnic groups will begin to dominate and control the culture for
financial gain.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>i.e. the Koreans now
control 99% of the Black hair business in the US and have no interest in
letting Blacks become owners and producers again. They want the Blacks to
remain a consumption class for their goods. This is not right but Black people
allowed it to happen. This was a strategic move, for the Koreans thought like
chess players. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Not everything is for everybody.
Circle your wagons and operate in a group interest fashion. Develop means to
give back to the community. The yearly barrel is a band aid but not a
solution.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>While traveling one earns,
learns and should return. Sun and sand is all over the Caribbean. How is
Jamaica unique and why should Diasporans and tourists return to the “rock”?
Many joke that the only time one sees large group of Jamaicans are at
funerals.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We should convalesce around
positive events and not just pain. No more “red eyes or badmind” Celebrate and
elevate our wins. We must connect the dots to leverage our most powerful
resource, which is the mind.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;"><span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Think of the opportunities of a half full
glass and not a half empty glass. Each year Chinese and Indians move to Jamaica
and become naturalized citizens. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If the
country is so bad, why are they moving to Jamaica and creating jobs for their
community? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>They have a different mindset
for you will never see an Asian work for a Black person – ever. If Asians are
dealing with Blacks, it is an owner/ consumer relationship. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Stop being the consumption class
and become the merchant class like the other ethnic groups. The island should
be used for production and the diaspora should be the primary group that
consumes the products. This pattern creates an economic ecosystem.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The diasporans have the capital, experience
and disposable income to purchase. They also have the capital to create credit
unions, which in turn can finance entrepreneural ventures. Thinking like a

getting paid; now how do you get it? Well, sometimes you have to take a leap of
faith and jump off that cliff. When you see people being and having what you
want, don’t envy them (Jamaicans call it badmind) for they took that parachute
and headed towards the door, while the plane was still in the air. Now for
some, the parachute trip was not a smooth flight path. Many hit bumps and rocks
but eventually, they make it down from the sky to tell their story about
financial success. Here are some ideas towards making the money move:<o:p></o:p></span></p>

universe’s blessings”. Believe it and it will be so. Yes, if no one else says
it, you say it and believe this. Self-love is so important. Why? Because loving
your self allows the impossible to become possible. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Unemployed
or in a stagnant job, self-love will lead you to keep trying new, innovative
ideas. Usain Bolt is the fastest human because he loved himself enough to stay
away from drugs, remain in the gym to develop his muscles and practice on the
track perfecting his technique. Self-love waters the soul and creates harmony.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>Musicians’
understand the impact of vibrations, melody and harmony. Bob Marley’s self-love
told him that good things do come out of Trench Town. Bob sang about his
experiences, making the best out of his surroundings. Some of Marley’s lyrics
explored the depths of the human condition, which resonated with others
worldwide.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="mso-tab-count: 1;"> </span>The
only way to walk into your destiny is to take one step at a time. In Malcolm
Gladwell’s book the Outlier, he stated that a minimum of 10,000 hours is
required for anyone to reach the zenith of the objective, so don’t worry if
your dreams and goals are taking a while. Whatever is supposed to be for you,
Karma will bring it to you. Now deep breathe, and breathe and breathe.<o:p></o:p></p>Jamaican Diasporahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05869400424363552973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128476928797665790.post-59733920569591882412022-09-01T14:29:00.002-05:002022-09-01T14:29:35.520-05:00Know your worth<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhsLQ6HI125pF4axuqPklTZAlmoWskTAi2mRB6HXS4NBDknyi3UZdrrwXmrYrZangdgwqsikBkDXuMgf1SnCpF0FVLm2OacYP85sspjrlya3Sz66Yx-lP30TOmUaejhHdr_OoSuR3DKqXo3e6cBjctgvkjVbeBvyA3gQas6bvWg59mfyuuUtdy4mXL9Ig" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="488" data-original-width="975" height="160" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhsLQ6HI125pF4axuqPklTZAlmoWskTAi2mRB6HXS4NBDknyi3UZdrrwXmrYrZangdgwqsikBkDXuMgf1SnCpF0FVLm2OacYP85sspjrlya3Sz66Yx-lP30TOmUaejhHdr_OoSuR3DKqXo3e6cBjctgvkjVbeBvyA3gQas6bvWg59mfyuuUtdy4mXL9Ig" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal">So you want to be an entrepreneur. Great! What does that
entail? This word is getting more popular each day, so let’s analyze if this
venture is for you. Are you willing to market yourself to the public? The brand
that is being promoted has to appeal to someone but not everyone. This is your
niche audience. For example, Jamaicans living in the diaspora may be hit with a
sense of nostalgia for homemade meal. How can you fulfil that craving? This can
be done my making them aware of your product.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step one is awareness. How to get their attention? One way
is social media. This is a must for 1st world countries. Long before they step
into your restaurant, they will check out your website, yelp comments and other
online features.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Add content on your
website to create value. Use key words in your brand name and place targeted
hashtags on your social media. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step two is to create trust. I.e. when you go to a
restaurant, you are expecting a quality product. By providing excellent food,
you build a positive relationship with you and the customer. This becomes a
nurturing atmosphere where friends and family will want to patronize.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Step three is to create an incentive. For instance,
providing a free side dish will entice them to choose your establishment over
the competition. Some owners don’t see the value for giving away anything but
remember, the more you give is the more you get. Put others 1<sup>st</sup> and
your needs 2<sup>nd</sup>. Making money is the product of adding value and
establishing rapport.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you can make the public aware, create trust and create
incentives, you can begin the entrepreneurial journey. Just remember to be
creative and unique. Always value yourself and know your worth. Finally, never
settle for what you don’t want.<o:p></o:p></p>Jamaican Diasporahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05869400424363552973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128476928797665790.post-55109170438216905832022-08-01T14:31:00.001-05:002022-08-01T14:31:16.549-05:00Side Gigs<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjj0r27OOHBEt7HLMTSIDoU5EcYKNCELvW_fJMguMMR1bjmBWmkubtARfOH5vKBoHd6wU4h9uQMlZCeD9fD1ao-ovq_GFEsCsfGOSfOzatMDiC40Cs2DZsOl0mwCbX7XoMHiUt31iQTF3d-0cNpNRZ-sjA884dy7t3bxwHUaaz0kbAHbg1jru6SFTOCmA" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="377" data-original-width="565" height="214" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjj0r27OOHBEt7HLMTSIDoU5EcYKNCELvW_fJMguMMR1bjmBWmkubtARfOH5vKBoHd6wU4h9uQMlZCeD9fD1ao-ovq_GFEsCsfGOSfOzatMDiC40Cs2DZsOl0mwCbX7XoMHiUt31iQTF3d-0cNpNRZ-sjA884dy7t3bxwHUaaz0kbAHbg1jru6SFTOCmA" width="320" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Generation y

apples. Soursop is often called pawpaw, but shouldn’t be confused with its
cousin known as pawpaw that managed to adapt and survive in northern climates.
Jamaican soursop is green, has white flesh, can weigh up to 10 pounds, and the
skin is covered in blunt spines. Visually, it’s been described as resembling a pine cone,
with the flavor likened to a cross between a pineapple and a mango. Seeds are
extremely toxic. Individuals that do eat soursop should limit their intake to ½
a cup a few days per week as it’s highly potent. Soursop is used within the perfume industry, and is popular
for use in milkshakes, smoothies and a variety of chilled beverages.
Practitioners of folk medicine and homeopathic methods have used it for
centuries as a sedative and to address maladies ranging from parasitic
infections and fever to inflammation.</p><p class="MsoNormal"><o:p></o:p></p>

because of the limited employment opportunities available on the island.
Creating online opportunities is a valid option and one way to stay in Jamaica
instead of becoming a diasporian. The net allows you to make a living, while
enjoying the sun and sand on the “rock”. Also, in this era it is best to have
multiple streams of revenue. Having an income from just one source is not a
good idea, especially if other family members are relying on you. Obtaining a
smart phone, access to the internet and the use of a computer gives you choices.
Here are some ways to make money online:<o:p></o:p></p>

and feel successful benefits you as well as your potential audience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>This is why having a focus on your content
and brand is very powerful. Who you are providing a product or service
determines your niche. Because so many things comprise your unique personality,
certain factors will have to be taken into consideration to captivate your
audience. There is no such thing as one size fits all.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: .5in;">Who is my audience? This is the
most practical thing you must consider in your entrepreneur journey. What is
your purpose? It must align with practically to avoid burn out. By taking
things in bit size chucks, you won’t feel overwhelmed. As the saying goes “How
do you eat an elephant? You take one bite at a time.” Consider what are you
trying to achieve and its time frame. Practically means revenue. In other
words, is the startup cost realistic? Can I do this business online or do I
need a storefront?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We live in the
internet era, so be sure to open the following accounts in order to get paid in
a timely manner: Paypal, Stripe, Venmo, Cash App.<o:p></o:p></p>Jamaican Diasporahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05869400424363552973noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5128476928797665790.post-51331399168187135442022-04-01T13:35:00.003-05:002022-04-01T13:35:29.734-05:00Consent<p style="text-align: center;"> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj3Xw_dgLX3-bi1EBIGLXXOse-NWc0FS0oURUjZFaLCQGIUIjaf3Fif1KUzx5QmrWQyXT7qSxEs2W58WOQfukCNVGkA36pcdPtHykq_kRDdL4roEBA8fYhxGTTiI0cNTyC7KdPNwE4OuzjlOlve4OvqgbG4gZxP2InUxG8QakFNSKEaPqJgBV6ndRxjPw" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" data-original-height="531" data-original-width="797" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEj3Xw_dgLX3-bi1EBIGLXXOse-NWc0FS0oURUjZFaLCQGIUIjaf3Fif1KUzx5QmrWQyXT7qSxEs2W58WOQfukCNVGkA36pcdPtHykq_kRDdL4roEBA8fYhxGTTiI0cNTyC7KdPNwE4OuzjlOlve4OvqgbG4gZxP2InUxG8QakFNSKEaPqJgBV6ndRxjPw" width="320" /></a></div><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><br /></p><p class="MsoNormal">We live in a fast passed world and because of that, we often

throughout the Caribbean. It’s typically enjoyed on its own, juiced, and in
desserts, and is sold fresh, frozen, canned, and in the form of guava paste or
jam. This mouthwatering fruit has skin ranging in color from yellow to green
with sweet pink flesh and a soft center full of easy-to-scoop-out seeds. With
vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, and more, guava is an excellent food to include
in your diet. Read on to learn about the health benefits of guava.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Guava helps with weight loss<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Filling guava satisfies sugar cravings and has no
cholesterol, a high ratio of fiber to sugar, and even a little protein (1.5
grams per serving). It’s the perfect energy-boosting snack for those trying to
lose weight.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. It’s a good choice for diabetics<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The high ratio of fiber to sugar means that guava is a great
choice for diabetics. The fiber slows down sugar absorption, reducing the
chance of an insulin spike.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">3. It improves vision<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Guavas have a high vitamin A content, which is important for
healthy eyes and vision. Vitamin A helps to ward off cataracts, macular
degeneration, and age related vision changes.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">4. It helps prevent cancer<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Antioxidants in guava help prevent the development of cancer.
Specifically, gauva is a good source of the antioxidant lycopene which is shown
to greatly decrease prostate tumors, and also may prevent breast cancer. Guava
leaf oil is said to be able to greatly diminish malignant growth even better
than present day prescriptions.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">5. It boosts the immune system and wards off scurvy<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Guava has 5 times as much vitamin C per serving as oranges!
Vitamin C is important for the immune system and helps the body fight off a
wide range of bacterial and viral diseases. Scurvy, a disease caused by vitamin
C deficiency, can be prevented or easily cured with guava.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6. It’s good for digestive health<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Naturally occurring astringents in guava have antibacterial
and disinfectant properties. They help keep digestive bacteria in check to
prevent and treat gastroenteritis and other effects of bacterial imbalance. In
addition, vitamin C, carotenoids, and potassium in guava all help to strengthen
and improve the function of the intestines.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">7. It helps the thyroid<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Guava is a good source of copper which serves a critical
function in thyroid metabolism. Copper aids in the control of the production
and absorption of hormones.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">8. It improves cognitive function<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Guava contains energy-boosting and cognitive enhancing
b-vitamins, especially vitamins B6 and B3. These vitamins help with a broad
range of systems in the body, especially with the functioning of the brain and
nervous systems. The results are improved focus and memory retention.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">9. It lowers bad cholesterol<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Several studies have shown that vitamin B3, or niacin,
increases good HDL cholesterol, lowers triglycerides, and lowers bad LDL
cholesterol as well as or better than some prescription drugs. Niacin is often
prescribed by doctors in combination with statins for the treatment of high
cholesterol. Guava provides some of this daily vitamin B3 requirement.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">10. It supports healthy, glowing skin<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The antioxidants, vitamins A, B, C, and potassium in guava

<p class="MsoNormal">The breadfruit is a round, rough-skinned, green colored
fruit, named for its bread-like texture when cooked. The flavor is mild and
potato-like. It’s commonly roasted, boiled, baked, or fried and can be juiced
to make a refreshing and healthy drink. Aside from being a robust accompaniment
to any meal, breadfruit also happens to be very nutritious. Read on to learn
about the many health benefits of breadfruit.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">1. Breadfruit improves cardiovascular health<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Breadfruit is a good source of potassium, a vasodilator
which helps to improve blood flow and reduce the risk of atherosclerosis and
cardiovascular diseases. It also has a high fiber content which has been shown
to lower “bad” LDL cholesterol.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">2. It prevents disease<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One serving of breadfruit has 46% your daily value of
antioxidant vitamin C, which is important for keeping the immune system strong.

aging, and heart disease by neutralizing free radicals in the body.<o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">4. It’s a good choice for diabetics<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Eating breadfruit with your meal will help to prevent
insulin spikes. The fiber in breadfruit slows down the body’s processing of
sugar.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">5. It improves digestion<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Breadfruit is an excellent source of dietary fiber which is
important for smooth digestion. Including breadfruit in the diet can help
prevent and relieve constipation and bloating, and reduce your risk of colon
cancer.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">6. It’s good for your skin<o:p></o:p></p>

skin tone and texture and also help soothe skin irritation and rashes.

skin, as well as a range of antioxidants, including vitamin C to keep skin
looking young and healthy.<o:p></o:p></p>Jamaican Diasporahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05869400424363552973noreply@blogger.com0
