Prostate Health and Pumpkin Seeds

If you didn’t eat your pumpkin seeds last Halloween then this is a healthy reminder to make use of them this year. Pumpkin seeds are really beneficial for the prostate. Pumpkin seeds contain a protective compound called phytosterols that may help in shrinking an enlarged prostate and help in bladder problems. Phytosterols also have cholesterol lowering properties and reduces the risks of many cancers.

Pumpkin seeds contain:

Zinc – benefits osteoporosis.
Beta Carotene – immune booster, antioxidant.
Potassium – lowers high blood pressure.
Magnesium – Prevents osteoporosis, heart attack, migraines, leg cramps, gallstones and kidney stones and more.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids – Prevents heart disease and lowers cholesterol.

You can enjoy them in salads, baked in your oatmeal cookies, homemade trail mix, or just roasted.

Men Working In Direct Sales

The trend has been growing over the past 10 years or so…every day I see more and more men entering the Direct Sales fields. These fields used to be dominated by work from home women.

These days you can find men doing Tupperware, Pampered Chef, Discovery Toys and other home parties.

I recently encountered a male Avon representive and asked him why he decided to get into Direct Sales. He told me, “I saw my wife Janet making a decent amount of money selling gourmet food for a home party plan company and I said to myself, I can do that too.” Another thing that he told me was, “I didn’t see myself particularly doing home parties as I was more interested in the one on one approach and door to door sales, so I chose Avon as the company I would represent.”

Men can make great consultants for a home party plan company and I have worked with a few of them over the years. They are usually very highly motivated and take the business seriously.

I am personally a consultant with Tupperware and I can tell you from personal experience, every day I see more men joining the Tupperware business and excelling at it.

Direct Sales isn’t just for women any more!
