Boss Business with Aaron:
8 Tips to improve time management

The Level Up with Toshoama:
"Anxiety"
Is anxiety a real thing and why do some people think its not? Give people an example of how you did something new and got over it never to feel it again but a person with a disorder feels it over and over and over.

Anxiety is a nervous disorder characterized by a state of excessive uneasiness and apprehension, typically with compulsive behavior or panic attacks.
Anxiety disorders form a category of mental health diagnoses that lead to excessive nervousness, fear, apprehension, and worry
These disorders alter how a person processes emotions and behave, also causing physical symptoms. Mild anxiety might be vague and unsettling, while severe anxiety may seriously affect day-to-day living.

Anxiety disorders affect 40 million people in the United States. It is the most common group of mental illnesses in the country.

The Health Minute with Queres:

Fluoride in water
• Since the mid 40s, compounds containing mineral fluoride have been added to the US community water supplies in efforts to reduce cavities.
• The test result where questionable at best.
• Over the years fluoridated tooth paste and dental Care products have been introduced and advanced.
• It is a good topical agent when directly applied to teeth. 

• fluoride itself may be dangerous at high levels. Excessive fluoride causes fluorosis—changes in tooth enamel that range from barely noticeable white spots to staining and pitting. Fluoride can also become concentrated in bone—stimulating bone cell growth, altering the tissue’s structure, and weakening the skeleton.
• Also said to be linked to the calcification of your pineal gland. Your pineal gland regulates melatonin and  reproductive hormones. 
• If you study esoteric literature or spirituality you will find that the pineal gland is the organ directly connected with your sixth Chakra -  most commonly known as your third eye chakra. 
• Third eye chakra is associated with intuition, giving you the ability to see what is hidden from plane sight and allows you to communicate with the world on a non verbal level.

Recommendations:
• Fluoride Filters -they can range from fairly cheap at $110 to quiet expensive at $1500. 
• Reverse Osmosis - Basically a process that removes up to 99% of the contaminants in your water. 
Fun fact:
• Water can actually be to clean to drink. 
• You can't drink pure water void of natural minerals because it will suck the natural minerals out of your body. Make sure if you use a RO filter process that you have a way to add the minerals back into before you consume it.

Level Up with Toshoama:   "Using your emotion as a means to create." Happiness, sadness, anger and every other emotion in the spectrum can be used to create. How have you channeled your emotions to benefit you and those around you?  

The Health Minute with Queres:  Did you know fact:  Your skin is the largest organ in the body.  Your skin works hard. Not only is it the largest organ in the body, but it defends against disease and infection, regulates your temperature and aids in vitamin production.  Three ways to improve skin health:  1. Lessen your stress levels. Studies have shown that stress can have negative effects on your entire body including your skin. Stress increases the level of hormones in your body causing more acne breakouts. Lower your stress level by practicing yoga, deep breathing and meditation. (Share yoga and meditation links) 2. Monitor your dairy intake. Some studies have linked milk and I've cream to causing age outbreaks. Skim milk being one of the top contributors. 3. Use water based hair products. Some hair products contain oils and wax can run down your face when you shower or sweat clogging up pores.  Question:  What is your daily skin regimen? (Tell us what you use?)
