In part 1 my friend had me on the ropes or so he thought.

I asked, “What did you have for breakfast this morning?” His response came slowly . . . “The usual, a double mocha latte. He quickly added, ” I needed a pick-me-up,  but I was in a hurry.”

.

Ummm . . . Scrumptious!

.

I said, ” So you let ‘if and but’ get in the way of your body receiving proper nutrition. You start your conversation off with ‘If I eat a balanced meal’ and ended with, “but I was in a hurry.”

I continued. “How many fish did you catch before breakfast? Did you tend your garden this morning?

Was that a “trap door closing” look on his face.

Tasting victory, I asked, “So that’s one meal missed. What do you do now, eat twice as much of the right food groups for lunch? You and I both know that’s not gonna happen.” He chuckled. I had him.

“Dude,” I said, “I was in a hurry as well, but I take one minute to sip an ounce of liquid multivitamin everyday and my body receives all of the essential nutrients it needs for that day. Takes less than a minute. It’s almost too easy.”

.

.

“Yeah, but your vitamin would cost me money every day!”

“Well you said you ordered the ‘usual.’ What did that double mocha latte with a twist of whatever cost you? And not only in dollars and cents. What’s all that sugar doing to your system on a daily basis? Should I go on? I’ll choose the liquid vitamin every time.”

Clang! Went the trap door.

.

Consider My Case Rested

We all could go without supplements if the foods we ate were whole, packed with nutrition, inexpensive, plentiful, easy to prepare and convenient.

But instead, the foods we consume are processed, fortified and sprayed with colorization. (why do you think that apple is so red?)

.

Back to the study

After eight weeks the participants in the study had their nutrient levels examined.

The participants who were given the multivitamin and not the placebo, including those who had indicated they were already eating folic fortified food, had much higher levels of many of our body’s  essential nutrients.

.

So What’s My Conclusion?

For us baby boomers, even if we strive to eat the best foods, the use of a daily multivitamin can only help us maintain optimal nutritional levels.

I’ve been taking a multivitamin daily for about two years now. Maybe it’s the vitamin or maybe it’s the fact that I feel pretty good all the time that people notice my energy level remains high.

I’m telling you, life is good if we let it be. If we feel good, it shows. People notice the difference. If our bodies receive the essential nutrients every day, we probably feel good.

.

.

As an Analogy:

Why is the term “ran out of gas” applied to so many different situations where people come up short? Because everybody knows what that means. A marathoner runs 24.5 miles in a few hours and drops to the ground less than half a mile from the finish line. Why? He ran out of (essential nutrients) gas.

Why do some people need “pick me ups” in the middle of their work-day? Chocolate bar, energy drink of choice; Their body “ran out of gas.” They lacked proper nutrient levels.

.

.

We Boomers  Need to “Get Back to Zero.”

That’s my reference  to taking the right multivitamin and mineral supplement that will shore up our systems.

It’s simple. Our bodies need a finite amount of essential nutrients daily (like a car needs gas) to perform at optimal levels. Our daily activities drain what nutrients we have stored up.

With the foods we eat lacking in proper nutrition, we start off below zero and work our way down.

.

In conclusion

I say, “take a sip of a good multivitamin every day, and get yourself back to zero.”

Hey Boomers! We’re now considered “older.” Can you believe it? Seems like just yesterday we were . . . 20, 30, 40, or was it 50? Hmmm, memory fades with age.

.

But That Was Then

Today I’m writing about nutritional needs for our ageing bodies. Younger generations could benefit from this information too. After all if you start young and maintain a healthy regimen, good habits alone will carry you for decades.

So check this out. There was a clinical study recently that observed Baby Boomers and older adults who had been given either a multivitamin or a placebo, daily, for a total of eight weeks.

.

Will the Real Multi-Vitamin Please Stand Up . . .

.

The study was geared to determine the effects of multivitamins on the nutritional status of older adults. Baby Boomers come to mind, because I am one.

Many boomers feel that if we “eat right” we don’t really need to add the expense of a multivitamin or mineral to our diets. Been there, heard that.

.

An Apple a Day

I had the “Apple a Day . . .” debate with my very good, very skeptical friend last week. We debate a lot.

He has issues with network marketing companies, so every chance he gets he will corner me about my products.

During our conversation he mentioned several times how he felt too exhausted after work to study for exams, etc.

.

.

Usually when I hear certain words it triggers memories, so when he said the word exhausted, I thought of the benefits of the multivitamin that I market and sell. Naturally I mentioned it.

It’s like he was baiting the trap for me to mention my product.

.

He Leaped

His premise was, “That’s what I’m talking about. I knew you were going to bring up your vitamin, but it’s like this. If at every meal, I eat a balanced diet of fruits, grains, vegetables, lean beef, and fish etc., I don’t need to spend my hard earned cash on your vitamin. I can grow my own vegetables, catch the fish myself, and so on.” His conversation was peppered with statistics and words like essential nutrients, folic acid, etc.

.

.

He then leaned back in his chair, assured of a verbal victory. I was grinning, because he was absolutely right! It’s possible to eat the correct amount of nutritional sustenance, but man!, is it time consuming. And secondly, yes, I did bring up my vitamin.

.

“Hello again, and welcome back.”

.

.

(Guided By God)

Apologies up front if this article comes off “salesy,” (is that a word?). But here we go. I’m going to put it out there.

As you know by now, I am an internet network marketing Baby Boomer. My company of choice is GBG. The name derives from, “Guided by God.”

We don’t hype it, but that’s where the name comes from, and our founder, Stuart Finger, is sincere about his conviction. The reason I’m telling it now is because I have been asked often recently, “What do the letters GBG mean?”

Most in our community haven’t heard of GBG, but that’s going to change, with a quickness. I am so proud of my friends and family who have taken charge of the ‘direction’ of their health. If I used such terminology, I’d say, “Kudos,” but I don’t.

:

:

Boomers are becoming more aware everyday when it comes to our health. Due to that awareness we are getting our diets in check, exercising more, getting good rest and investigating healthy alternatives, and that is where GBG shines.

.

GBG is Not New to Network Marketing

.

The company has been around for about fourteen years, and Stuart Finger, the CEO, has proven himself a man of his word when it comes to building a network marketing company with the reps in mind.

He’s built GBG with passion, patience, perseverance and vitality. From day one.

I’m sure some of you are saying , “Yeah CK, I’ve heard it all before.” But, I say, while inserting a message, “Don’t mix apples and donuts.” Don’t compare GBG to any other network marketing company you’ve had the displeasure of working your butt off for.

If you haven’t heard about this company and founder, you might want to investigate.

.

.

Why do you think the beautiful Ms. Jackee Harry joined our company recently. She met with Stuart, saw his vision, (had already tried the product and gotten great results) and became our National Celebrity Spokesperson.

How often do we networkers go to meetings, conferences or listen to calls hosted by the “sincere, emotional, driven, believer of all things related to his or her company?” Only to find out in a short while that most of what they are selling is crap.

The last meeting I went to, the overly excited guy on stage kept yelling, “Don’t miss this boat!” Must have said it a hundred times.

.

Well, that’s not GBG

.

I was the biggest skeptic when introduced to GBG by my good friend and associate, Sergio Rozzelle. Matter of fact, I want to pause and say, “Thank you man for insisting I take a look at this company, you’re a true friend. Don’t sweat the skeptics.” But thank goodness you were persistent. I owe you big time my brother. We’ve got this.

.

GBG’s Direction

.

Stuart Finger has masterfully guided his company through much turbulence and he did it with integrity, honesty and a tunnel vision most of us can only dream about.

Yeah, maybe I sound like some of those guys I mentioned above, but I can prove what I say.

.

Stuart Finger provides leadership

.

GBG is a real network marketing company, run by a real network marketer, who is in the trenches with the rest of us. He makes his living doing what we do, selling GBG products, in addition to running his company. How cool is that?

A great company does not take advantage of its reps; it provides great leadership, products, training and compensation.

GBG, through Stuart Finger, does that in spades.

• Q. Is GBG a Pyramid Scheme?

• A. No. We have products. Some, certified by the Glycemic Index.

• Q. Are we required to purchase inferior products that get shoved to the back of the closet?

• A. No. We buy one bottle of GBG’s Ten in One™ Liquid Multi Formula for $29.95 plus shipping.

With that purchase we receive:

1. A Free Business.
2. A Free Website.
3. Free Landing Pages.

“But I don’t want to run a business CK.”

You don’t have to work the business in order to enjoy the benefits of the products. I just happened to (after decades of searching) find my passion, in advocating better health for boomers. Now I have a good product to assist me in that cause. I’m done searching! Man, I can’t express to you how good this feels.

Hah! I just this second realized something. I had to wait to become a boomer, to get passionate about helping boomers. How ’bout it!

But I digress.

No. We don’t have to work the business, but it’s there for the taking. And if you know 6 people who need supplements and they sign with you, the cost of your monthly bottle of GBG’s 10 In One™ Liquid Multi Formula is covered.

Do I chase friends and family members down and figuratively beat them over the head with our great products until they give up and buy in to the plan? No, because that’s not the way I’m building my business, but that’s another article. If you want to know how I am building my business, email me at Charles@CreateVitality.Com

Here’s a tip:

If you are considering network marketing, don’t go for the hype and join the wrong company, with wrong training, wrong product, wrong leadership . . . should I go on?

At least do yourself the favor of clicking on my affiliate link to, give GBG a good look.

This just might be the boat we didn’t miss. Thanks for reading. Got a little long-winded.

Hey all my Reader Friends, How about this?

On April 2, 2010, GBG,  my network marketing company of choice, proudly announced, the addition of Ms. Jackée Harry, Star of  television sitcoms, film and theatre, as the new National Spokeswoman for GBG.

.

“Say What!”

.

That’s right, I said it.

.

On her website, Ms. Harry states she had already decided it was time to take better care of herself health-wise. “That’s why, when a loved one approached me some time ago, with a liquid vitamin called 10-in-One (by GBG), not only was I in need of such a product…I was actually in search of one. Every single person on the planet, no matter who you are, should be consuming nutrients of the highest quality, DAILY! And if you ask me, GBG’s 10-in-One provides those much needed vitamins and nutrients.”

.

Ms. Harry has starred in a number of TV shows like 227,  Another World, The Women of Brewster Place, Everybody Hates Chris, etc., but has never endorsed a product such as ours.

GBG, a renowned health and wellness company, shares its owner’s vision with all of its representatives, now including Ms. Harry.

As the new GBG national spokeswoman, Ms. Harry shares in the vision of GBG’s founder Stuart Finger. He will readily share, with anyone who will listen, his passion for helping others around the globe, live their best and healthiest of lives.

Ms. Harry, who won an Emmy for her role as Sandra Clark on the hit TV series, 227, has teamed up with GBG, to promote improved health and wealth across America.

Something I seldom say because it is so overused in network marketing is, “I’m excited.”

She is not only a great spokeswoman with a reputation of integrity, she is passionate about our product, GBG’s Ten In One™ Liquid Multi Formula.

Jackée says on her website, “it truly is the most amazing product I’ve ever consumed! Not to mention, it’s pleasant tasting and entersyour system in around 3 minutes following consumption.

.

.

I find that it even curtails my cravings for unhealthy foods, which has allowed me to manage my weight, while providing me with previously untapped energy.”

Having been a fan of Jackée Harry for many years, I find it difficult to imagine her without an abundance of energy. She always seems so full of life, when we are fortunate enough to catch her performances, live or on screen.

She goes on to say on her site, “In fact, I love the product (GBG’s Liquid Multi Formula) so much, I decided to align with the company, in

an effort to get the word out about what I feel is truly a super formula. No false claims. No gimmicks. No gotchas. I have NEVER been in the business of endorsing anything I don’t believe in.”

.

.

But now she is endorsing our company, GBG, and our main product, a liquid multi formula supplement that contains 10 separate formulas.

So I say loudly, “Welcome, Ms. Harry, to GBG and thank you for recognizing the value of our products. “How Bout it!”

Today I signed Oprah’s “No Phone Zone” pledge:
.

.
“Home boy, I’m looking important!”

We all need to feel or “look” important at some time I guess, and I’m sure we’ve all faked the “important” call. You know the one. Point the index finger up and announce, “I’ve gotta get this.”

How important, really, was my last cell phone call, or text, while I was driving? It wasn’t worth endangering those around me by a long shot.

What Helped Make Up My Mind, to Change?

Here’s what happened yesterday, back to back.

I was standing on a street-corner waiting to cross and heard tires screeching. A cell-phone driver didn’t notice  traffic stopped in front of him and had to slam on the brakes.

Of the twelve cars that drove by me:

• Four people, 3 male and 1 female, were talking
  
• Couldn’t see anyone texting

Then as I drove home a woman in a pretty big SUV swerved, braked, corrected and drove on. All in front of me. She eventually pulled into the left lane to turn into the school’s driveway, and of course, she was on the phone. Hmmm.

On the highway, I noticed quite a few drivers engaged in conversation. Hmmmmmm.

.

.

At home I seldom watch the news, but it was on as I passed through the family room. The first story was about a cell-phone-caused accident where two people died, but not the person who hit them while texting.

Again . . . Hmmmmmmm . . . Was that three strikes or four?

So now my challenge is, after much consideration while writing this article, should I “step up to the plate” and sign No Phone Zone Pledge Option 3? “No Calling or Texting While Driving . . . Period.”

.

My Pro’s: Why I will sign it

• I don’t mind pulling off the road, where I won’t look as important, to talk
  

• People who need my immediate attention can leave a message
  

• I might save a life

• I prefer not to endanger others

My Con’s: Why I needed another option

• There may be an emergency

Today I signed Oprah’s “No Phone Zone” pledge:

.

.

What Took Me So Long?

I don’t have a clue why I hesitated, after-all it’s something I’ve thought about doing for a long time.

“Oprah ain’t the only one who thought of this,” I was told by a young lady in line at the store. “I’ve been thinking about stopping too.”

.

Thinking isn’t Doing

For many years, friends, family and I, have debated the reasons why we feel it is imperative to:

• immediately make or accept a cell phone call while driving
  

• accept/read/write and send a text while driving

• conduct business on a cell phone while driving
  

.

.

I readily admit I’ve:

• crossed center lines that make a racket
  
• veered into oncoming lanes, slightly…
  
• driven off the right side of the road, somewhat…
  

Knowing what I know now, I have been extremely lucky that I didn’t hurt anyone else or myself. I’d like to feel it’s because, “I’ve got skills,” but it’s not. It’s foolish of me to feel I’m that good of a driver. Reaction time is critical and any distraction can become deadly in an instant.

.

Yeah, I’ll Participate in the “No Phone Zone” Pledge But . . .

.

(”italics” below are comments made to me by cell-phone drivers)

The first time I heard about the pledge, I knew immediately that I’d participate in the idea of the program, but, “I’m not necessarily gonna sign up, you know, specifically and all, for the program.”

After all, “I don’t have to prove anything to anybody else. I’ll just stop talking and texting while driving.”

I was really going to Quit – quit,“ to paraphrase, “but I thought I would “bend the rules slightly to add what I thought should have been a fourth option.”

“Personally, I thought Oprah could have given us a fourth option, where we could keep driving under certain circumstances, like emergencies, but keeping it real, she’s Oprah and I’m not.”

Revenge? . . . Nah! Just Triumph!

I hadn’t taken the Prednisone a whole week before things were looking up. One month later at doc’s office, he told me his research showed Sarcoidosis may eventually go into remission, I’d just have to wait it out.

I had gained back the 35 pounds and then some. I was a bit overweight, plump even, and loving it.

Eighty milligrams of Prednisone a day causes that effect.

Doc asked, “Are you feeling pretty much normal now?” I said, “Not quite like my old self just yet doc, but I’ll take ‘new normal’ any day.” Doc was happy.

.

.

My complexion was back, the crack rumors had ceased, I enjoyed the last laugh on the naysayers, some of whom would still occasionally avoid eye contact, when we met in the hall or the elevator.

Best of all the constant pain was gone and I was back in the gym.

I had found out who my real friends were, eliminated the fakes, and I was happy.

Her smile eased its way back onto my wife’s face and her worries vanished.

.

We were Happy!

.

Fast forward 15 years and even though I know it’s there lurking, I can’t realistically say I’ve experienced a serious symptom in over 12 years. I like to think it has been in remission.

Sarcoidosis is a serious disease that doesn’t discriminate.

About me

• I’m an African American male.
• I’ve had Sarcoidosis for fifteen years.
• Initially I was afraid, now I’m educated on the disease.
• I’m not lazy.
• I know who my real friends are.
• For this moment I thank God my Sarcoidosis is in remission.
• I feel like all African Americans should get tested for Sarcoidosis if they have any of the symptoms.

As they say in my part of the country, “I’ve been Blessed.” I’m one of the lucky Sarcoidosis survivors.

I hope if you, or anyone you know has the symptoms, you’ll join me in getting tested and having loved ones do the same. Sarcoidosis is a very serious disease, but with diligence and a little pro-activity, it can be managed and . . .

.

That’s my story. Hope it helps.

The trip home was better

On the commute home that Saturday evening, I still had to deal with my emotions and other commuters.

One driver, an older woman, was driving erratically in my opinion, so I made a move to pass her, then changed my mind because we were coming up on the toll booth.

A highway-patrolman saw what I did and flashed the dreaded red lights. “I pulled you over for weaving on the bridge, we’re you having mechanical problems?”

.

.

“Nah, I’m just tired.” I decided not to mention the woman. Traffic school taught me to not even attempt to blame other drivers for my misdeeds. “I work for (a utility company). They have been forcing us to work seven days a week, ten hours a day for the last month.”

He chuckled to himself like he’d heard it all before and wrote something down. “Please step out of the car. I need you to perform a few tests.”

The cold air and drizzle felt good, just what I needed to pep me up.

After I passed the drunk test, he said, “I’m going to let you go with a warning, to go home and,” (wait for it) . . . “get some sleep. You look like you need to get some rest.”

I thought about the waiting day-bed and said, “Thanks for that, and you can count on me knocking out as soon as I get home.”

.

.

He continued, “I know what you mean about (utility company), my brother-in-law works there too. I almost took a job there myself, but changed my mind. He’s been stuck working overtime for weeks too. Sis is not feeling happy at all about it.” He chuckled again.

The rest of the weekend wasn’t a blur, it was all invested in much-needed sleep.

Then comes Monday. Back to work, more rumors and as it turned out, hope.

There’s Hope Yet!

When things seemed out of control, my granddad was known to say, “There’s hope yet!”

On Monday morning my cell phone rang at about 10 am, during my commute. I like to think  I was in the Caldecott Tunnel, awake, when it rang, but in retrospect, that’s more likely me trying to make my story more dramatic.

.

.

The caller was my respiratory specialist, who’d kind of

become a friend, and he sounded excited. He said, “Charles, I’ve got good news, bad news and good news. How soon can you be here, and which do you want to hear first?”

Swerving to take the exit, I said, “The bad news, I’d prefer to end this chat with good news.” “Ok,” he said, “here’s the bad news. There’s no cure for what you have . . .” Silence.

Surprisingly, my life did not flash before my eyes, so I said, “And the good news . . . ?”

“We’ve finally gotten a handle on what you’ve got. Your lung biopsy revealed that you have a rare disease called Sarcoidosis.” I could actually hear him smiling.

.

.

“Say what? Leave it to me to get a rare disease that can’t be cured?”

But still hopeful, I said, “Alright Doc, what’s the other good news, this first piece does not fit with my plan to live past a hundred and ten.”

“Thought you’d never ask,” he said cheerfully. Doc knew my plan to be a hundred and ten was important to me. I promised myself when I was 6 that I’d live at least 110 years.

“I can’t promise you a hundred and ten, but I wouldn’t rule out ninety. We can get your Sarcoidosis under control with steroids.” More silence on his part, and now mine. I told you he was good.

I’m thinking, ” Sarcoidosis? Steroids?”

Ok, I was a pretty consistent weight lifter before the illness and Doc knew it. I was familiar with some of the horror stories about steroids . . .

.

.

. . . and he must have read my mind because he said, “Not that kind of steroid Charles, so when can you get in here?”

That’s What Friends Are For

I took a detour before starting my commute home one night. I stopped by my best friend’s house for what began as a friendly game of pool, but soon turned into a “vent” session.

Once I shut the heck up, he looked up from the pool table, smiled at me and said, “Hey man, you and I both know you’re gonna beat this. “Yeah,” I said, “I know. Thanks.”

Then he said, “When it feels like everything is turning to s–t, and I’m sure you feel like that right now, remember dude, s–t makes flowers grow.” Then he sunk the eight ball, in the corner pocket. “S–t!”

.

.

Thanks Eric, for hanging in there with me bro.

That’s when you know you’ve got a friend. They keep it real. They listen and don’t judge and they don’t dwell on the negative. A true friend has your back no matter what the circumstance.

They are the ones who pull for you every chance they get. Refuse to let you wallow in the muck of self-pity and “woe is me.”

Not like the, “it’s all about me,” fair-weather, so-called friends,” who are always willing to receive, but never manage to give.

Every day comes with its own challenges, health issues, financial woes, or whatever. It is always better to have someone to lean on, or if it’s your turn, be someone for them to lean on during those times.
