Vitamin D Secrets PLR Ebook

Introduction

Unfortunately, the experts estimate that around a billion people in the world are deficient in vitamin D. Something that you probably don’t know is that vitamin D is not really a vitamin. It is actually a prohormone.

A prohormone is a substance that your body will transform into a hormone. All of the cells in your body have a receptor for this prohormone which is not the case with other vitamins. For ease of reference, we will refer to this prohormone as its most common name which is vitamin D.

Your body needs to break down a prohormone into a form that it can use. When this happens, vitamin D will circulate through your body and it performs several different functions. It is critical for healthy bones and helps to promote bone growth and the health of your muscles.

In this special report, we will explain why vitamin D is so essential for your body, what causes a vitamin D deficiency and the symptoms of this that you need to watch out for, and the things that you can do to ensure that you have the right levels of vitamin D.

So, let’s get right into it…

Why Vitamin D is essential for your Body

As we mentioned in the introduction, vitamin D is essential for good bone health. It helps in the development of strong bones and this becomes very important as you age. Vitamin D will also take calcium from your blood and will use it to create and repair muscle tissue and bone. You need vitamin D to help your parathyroid gland to properly regulate the levels of calcium in your blood as well.

Vitamin D Deficiencies

You may have heard of “rickets” before as it is the most common kind of vitamin D deficiency. Children can suffer from rickets if their bone tissue doesn’t mineralize correctly. This usually results in their bones being too soft and becoming deformed.

But rickets is not the only type of vitamin D deficiency. There have been several studies that revealed that there are several other health problems that can result from vitamin D deficiency. We will discuss these later on in this special report.

Vitamin D is also important for your immune system. Your immune cells all have a receptor for vitamin D and they are able to synthesize the active vitamin D hormone or metabolite. This means that there is definitely a connection between them.

A lack of vitamin D is also associated with autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and multiple sclerosis. When the right level of vitamin D is in your blood, your immune system will function properly and protect you from autoimmune disorders and possible infections.

Vitamin D is required for communication within your body

It is important that the calcium levels in your body are correct and vitamin D will communicate between your skeleton, your kidneys and your intestines to ensure that this is the case. Healthy and strong bones are the result of your body having the correct levels of calcium. If your vitamin D levels are low or there is not enough calcium for your bones, your parathyroid gland will borrow calcium from your skeleton which has the overall effect of making your bones weaker.

In the next section, we will discuss what causes vitamin D deficiency.

What Causes Vitamin D Deficiency?

There are actually several causes of vitamin D deficiency. The main problem is that vitamin D deficiency is not always easy to spot. You need to know what the symptoms are so that you can detect it. This probably explains why the experts think that more than a billion people across the globe have a deficiency in vitamin D.

We will discuss the symptoms of vitamin D deficiency in detail in the next section. Here we will look at some of the most common causes of vitamin D deficiency.

Your Diet can cause a Deficiency in Vitamin D

If you do not eat the types of food that enable the development of vitamin D then this can cause you to be deficient in the vitamin. The foods that help to develop vitamin D are animal-based and include:

• Beef liver
• Fish
• Egg yolk
• Fish oils
• Fortified milk products

Vegans are more prone to vitamin D deficiency as they do not consume any of these foods. There are supplements available that vegans can take to make up for the vitamin D that they are losing out on.

You have Very Dark Skin

If you have very dark skin then the pigment or melanin can prevent the formation of vitamin D when you are out in the sun. This can apply if you have a tan as well as if your skin is naturally dark.

The bottom line here is that the darker your skin is, the less chance it will have to form vitamin D with exposure to direct sunlight. Even if you spend a lot of time sunbathing this can still be a problem.

You have a Problem with your Digestive Tract

Some people have a problem with their digestive tract which means that they cannot absorb dietary fat or vitamin D. If you have a medical condition such as cystic fibrosis, celiac disease, or Crohn’s disease these can limit the ability of your intestines to absorb the vitamin D that you consume.

These medical conditions can restrict the absorption of dietary fats as well and because vitamin D is fat-soluble, this can result in the same problem occurring.

You are not getting enough Sunlight

Your skin can only make vitamin D when you are exposed to direct sunlight. If you do not venture outdoors very often, your chances of being deficient in vitamin D will rise significantly.

You may work a job that prevents you from getting much sunlight or you could be homebound. If you live in a northern latitude country you can be deprived of enough sunlight. Wearing head coverings and robes for religious purposes can also limit exposure to the sun.

Living in an area that has a lot of pollution or smog can also restrict your sunlight exposure. Where you live can really make a difference as can the season and the time of day that you venture out into the sun. In some parts of the US such as Cleveland, Ohio, there will be no UV-B light for 6 months of the year due to the sun’s position and the ozone layer.

Please be aware that the sun is strongest between 10am and 3pm.

You are Overweight / Obese

Being overweight or obese can leave you vitamin D deficient. If you have a body mass index of 30 or more then your fat cells may not be efficient enough to extract the required vitamin D from your blood and circulate it around your body.

Introduction

Procrastination is something that we all deal with at some point or another. We may find that there is some kind of project that we don’t want to deal with or we may just feel we have time to do it later. Of course, things always sneak up on us sooner rather than later, and we scramble around to get it all done. This is a temporary thing for most people, something they do on occasion and it isn’t a habit. On the other hand, procrastinators will often deal with these issues each time that they have something to do.

This guidebook is going to spend some time looking at what a procrastinator is and some of the main signs to look for when it comes to determining if you or someone else is considered a procrastinator. We will discuss some things such as avoiding unpleasant tasks, making excuses or just giving up because we feel we are not up to the challenge. These are all things that will make the procrastinator put off their work, rather than trying to get it done.

When you are interested in finding out what a procrastinator is like and learning about some of the signs that come with procrastination to see if they are ones that you are dealing with, make sure to check out this guidebook to get started!

What is a Procrastinator?

First, we need to take some time to talk about what a procrastinator is. This is basically a person who likes to put things off or who delays doing the work because they feel like they can’t handle it or they just aren’t interested in the work. This can include things like chores, work, and other actions that should be done in a timely manner. If you don’t get to work on cleaning the house because you have to take the kids to soccer practice, that is not procrastination. But if you just sit down and watch television instead of doing the housework, that is procrastination.

All of us have times when we are going to suffer from procrastination in our lives. There are things that we don’t always want to do, and we will put them off as much as possible. But this s usually something that is temporary with most people. But when it comes to being a procrastinator, they are going to push the activity off every time that they are supposed to do something, or at least most of the times.

Often these procrastinators are going to wait until the very last minute to get things done. If they are given a big project, it is pretty common to see them working on that late into the night the day before it is due. These are the people who will go out on the day before Christmas to get all of their shopping done. It seems like no matter what they are doing, they are never able to get it done on time and without rushing at the last minute.

These people often have every excuse in the book to avoid doing some of the work that they should. They may not feel like they should have to get the work done, they may say that it doesn’t interest them, and sometimes they will say that the thrill of waiting until the last minute makes it more exciting for them, so they do better work in the long run. But these are all just excuses that are causing them a lot of harm as they push projects further and further behind each day.

There are several types of procrastinators that you may run across in your life. They are all going to share some common traits, but they can be very different in the manner that they procrastinate and even for the reasons. The three types of procrastinators that you may encounter include:

Arousal type: these are also known as the thrill seeker type. These are the people who are able to get some kind of rush for waiting until the very last minute in order to get their project done. They like how it feels to get the work done at the last minute, and they will never work on projects early.

Avoider type: these are the people who are very concerned about how they are going to be seen by others. They are really afraid to fail. So instead of trying and failing, they feel that it is much better to feel incompetent and lazy. This results in them just deciding to not do the work at all.

Decisional type: this type of person is going to be someone who isn’t able to make decisions on things. They will just keep putting things off because then they don’t have to deal with making some of the decisions in their life. These are also the people who are really relieved when responsibilities of making decisions are taken away from them.

Most of the time, someone who is suffering from procrastination has been dealing with this issue for a long time. But even someone who is a chronic procrastinator is able to make some changes to their behavior, although it is going to take a lot of persistence and dedication. Often the desire to put off things and to procrastinate is not going to go away, but the procrastinator is able to learn to change their habits so that they are able to accomplish all of their tasks on time, rather than waiting until the last minute any longer.

Introduction

The health benefits of CBD are well publicized and you may already be aware of how CBD can be used to manage pain. What you may not know is why CBD is so effective and the different health issues that it can help with.

CBD is now available in a range of different formats. If you are new to using CBD then the choice can be overwhelming. By reading this special report, you will know what format of CBD you need to use to manage your health issues.

This report is ideal for you if you are a beginner with CBD. We will cover all of the most important issues about CBD in this report so that you will know exactly what you need to do. CBD often gets a bad rap because of the myths that surround it. These myths are all untrue and we will explain why.

You deserve to know the truth about CBD and how it can help you so please read all of this short report. Do not deprive yourself of the lifechanging properties of CBD. Let’s get right into it!

In the first section, we will explain what CBD really is.

What CBD Really is

It is essential that you fully understand what CBD is and what it isn’t. A lot of people will not use CBD because they do not really understand it. We will avoid using too much technical jargon in this section so that it is easier for you to learn what CBD is.

CBD is short for Cannabidiol. It comes from the cannabis plant and is just one of around 100 compounds found in the plant. The cannabis plant has buds or flowers on it and this is where the gooey like CBD resin is located. Flowers on the cannabis plant are covered by mushroom like small structures which are called trichomes.

The role of these trichomes is to provide protection against UV radiation and excessive heat. These trichomes have glands and they contain some very effective medical compounds such as aromatic terpenes, THC and CBD. Trichomes also have properties which protect the plant from bacteria, fungus and insects. Insects become trapped in the gooey resin.

CBD will not make you “High”

One of the major misconceptions about CBD is that it will make you high. This puts off a lot of people from using it and it is totally untrue.

The component of the cannabis plant that makes people high is THC (tetrahydrocannabinol).

Another misconception about CBD is that it is addictive. This is not the case so you do not need to be concerned about creating an addiction in your life by using CBD. A lot of people do not understand what CBD is and think that it is the same as smoking weed. Now that you know the truth you can make the right decision about CBD.

Different Strains of the Cannabis Plant

The cannabis plant has a number of different strains. As you now know, CBD is found in the trichomes of the plant. But the amount of CBD available in the trichomes depends on the strain of cannabis plant. For example, industrial hemp which is low in resin has a lot fewer trichomes (and less CBD oil) than cannabis plant strains that have a high resin content. A high resin strain of cannabis plant usually contains high levels of THC and very small amounts of CBD so it is very important that you choose the right strain.

Once you have found the right strain of cannabis plant that is high in CBD oil, the oil needs to be extracted. There are different ways to extract CBD oil and the aim of these extraction methods is to produce CBD and other components that are beneficial to health in the most concentrated form.

CBD Extraction Methods

When CBD is separated from a cannabis plant it is in the form of a thick oil which is very potent. As CBD is soluble in both alcohol and oil, the extraction process normally involves the use of a chemical agent that will dissolve an alcohol or oil-based compound.

The most common, and probably the safest method for CBD extraction, is using CO2. When CO2 is placed under high pressure and temperatures that fluctuate it turns to a liquid which separates out the active ingredients in the cannabis plant. Using specific temperatures, the CO2 extraction methods can extract CBD purely rather than it being mixed up with other compounds.

Another method of extraction is through the use of ethanol. This method has been used for a very long time and in the 1800s it was used to create “Indian Hemp” which a lot of people used to overcome a number of health issues such as muscle spasms, pain, depression and anxiety. The use of ethanol for extraction was banned in the US in 1937 but now it has come back again as an efficient extraction method.

Alcohol that is deemed food-grade is also used to extract CBD oil for the cannabis plant. This process creates very high-quality CBD oil which people can ingest orally. Another effective method of extraction is the use of hydrocarbons. Here propane, hexane or butane is used for the extraction. Extracting with hydrocarbons can be very effective as it can separate the valuable terpenes and cannabinoids from components that are unwanted such as chlorophyll.

Hydrocarbon extraction can be dangerous though because they are very flammable. If a user of hydrocarbon extracted CBD vapes the substance, then this can cause them harm especially if they have a compromised immune system.

The final CBD extraction method is using olive oil. This is a simple method that is also cost effective. You can even do this at home if possessing the cannabis plant is legal where you are. The cannabis plant needs to be heated in an oven as this will convert CBDA into CBD and THCA into THC. Then you need to steep the plant ion olive oil and strain and sift the oil from the plant. There is one problem with olive oil extraction which is that the THC is not removed from the oil so when it is consumed it can make you high.

Introduction

Blockchain is the technology that supports cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum and this platform has the potential to be a revolution in the business world. There are many advantages that blockchain has to offer and more and more businesses and organizations across the world are taking a serious look at it.

Just because blockchain is associated with cryptocurrencies does not mean that there are not other applications for it. A lot of movers and shakers in the business world have already realized the potential that the blockchain technology has to offer. Some are using it for their business processes right now and seeing some spectacular results.

The use of blockchain in the business world can add different layers of security and fast transaction processing for example. Not only that, blockchain can be used for the processing of payments and reduce the costs of conventional methods.

There are almost unlimited possibilities with blockchain technology. Some businesses and organizations are already benefiting from it and there is no reason why you cannot do the same. Applying the blockchain platform to your business could be one of the best moves that you ever make.

In this powerful report, we will take a deep dive into blockchain and show you how you can benefit from applying it in your business. You can apply the technology to your existing business and by understanding how it works and what it can offer you may come up with some new business ideas.

In the next section, we will discuss the fundamentals of blockchain so that you have a good understanding of what it is and how it works…

The Fundamentals of Blockchain

You are probably aware that there are a lot of highly technical aspects to blockchain and we will not be discussing these here. What we will be doing is explaining what blockchain is so that you have the right amount of knowledge to consider how it can help you in your business.

What is Blockchain and how does it work?

So, what exactly is blockchain? In the simplest of terms blockchain is a digital record of who owns what that is updated continuously. With blockchain there are individual blocks of data that are encrypted and these are all joined together. Hence the name “blockchain”.

These data blocks can contain different types of information such as the owner of an asset, the date and time of transactions, the monetary amounts involved and a lot more. Every block is encrypted using cryptography which is where the name “cryptocurrencies” emanates from.

Imagine an everyday deal between two parties. There will be information about the deal that needs to be confirmed and all of this is stored in an individual block. A block can include a lot of different records about a deal or transaction which is part of the initial design of the blockchain.

A blockchain network will store details of many transactions conducted and each transaction has its own unique block. There could be millions of individual blocks in a blockchain and they are all linked together in a secure way.

In a cryptocurrency transaction there will be two parties that we will call party 1 and party 2. With a blockchain there will be records of these two people and the different coins that they own. So, if party 1 wants to sell some of their crypto coins to party 2, there are digital signatures in the individual blocks that require verification.

The job of the blockchain network is to check all of the details of the proposed transaction to ensure that everything is valid. There are computer nodes which perform these checks. If the nodes validate the transaction, then records are added to the blockchain.

All Blocks are Unique

Every individual block in a blockchain is totally unique and has a special code identifier known as a “hash”. As all of the blocks are connected together, the unique code will also include the hash of the block that previously connected to it.

Everything is done in order and the hashes are used to link all of the blocks together properly. There is a complex mathematical function used to create each individual hash. Using this function, a unique string of characters, including numbers and letters, is generated to create the unique hash.

A blockchain network uses a uniform hash system so it doesn’t matter how large or small an individual block is the hash codes used will always be the same length. There is a database used with a blockchain and this is distributed across a network of computers. It is designed so that no single computer has the same information stored on it.

Blockchain networks continuously check block information to ensure that every single copy of the database is fully up to date. There is no margin for error with a blockchain network. Records on a blockchain are immutable. This means that they cannot be easily changed. Any changes made by the legitimate owners will change the database and create new hash codes.

Introduction

In any occupation, there are elements that are not as “fun” as other elements of that occupation. As a result, many people will often procrastinate and slow themselves down in an effort to “avoid” those boring or tedious elements that they don?t like doing as much as the fun aspects of their job or occupation.

In truth, those efforts to procrastinate, make excuses, and just avoid certain aspects of an occupation or task just lead to people taking longer to complete work they could do much quicker, leading to them getting less done than they could within a set amount of time. Additionally, it forces them to work harder, take more time away from other activities they?d rather be doing, and can lead them to doing poorer-quality work because they have to work faster to make up for the time they lost by procrastinating and making excuses. Due to the fact they are working faster, they?re more prone to making mistakes and not thinking clearly when doing important tasks.
Procrastination is just one excuse people make when they want to avoid a more unpleasant part of their occupation or a project or task they are not particularly fond of doing. However, procrastination isn?t the only challenge people face when people try to get high-quality work completed in a set period of time.

Often, people will question If they can work fast and still deliver high-quality work. They will often doubt themselves over whether they are doing something properly or if it?s what their target market, boss, or customer is looking for in the completed work. As a result, they slow down and take longer to complete the work when it?s usually not necessary.

Time management is key for everyone, but especially for entrepreneurs who are their own bosses. Entrepreneurs must motivate themselves to stay on or ahead of schedule; there is no boss who will get on them to stay on or ahead of schedule. If an entrepreneur falls behind an intended schedule, only he/she can motivate himself/herself to pick up the pace and get back on track. He/She won?t lose his/her job, but also won?t get as much to any profit because he/she is failing to do the work expected of him/her in a set period of time.

Entrepreneurs in particular have to learn to not let distractions take away from their focus when doing work for clients and/or for their businesses. Time is the one commodity you cannot get back, and each distraction that takes work time away from the entrepreneur costs him/her money, reputation, and time doing other things, both within the business and away from the business.

Some distractions are the type that can be controlled by the entrepreneur, such as being logged into his/her social media accounts. Other distractions are the type that can?t be easily controlled by the entrepreneur, such as kids running around the house, etc. Both types need to be managed if an entrepreneur is going to overcome the excuse of not getting as much done as he/she can within a specific period of time.

Another important aspect of time management entrepreneurs must learn is being efficient in their work time so that they can take breaks, enjoy themselves, and not burn themselves out trying to complete projects and other tasks necessary to have a thriving business. Oftentimes, entrepreneurs will want to work every waking minute of every waking hour, sacrificing their health, well-being, and social life just to improve their businesses. Yet, taking this approach can actually hinder an entrepreneur from improving his/her business.

Therefore, dealing with procrastination, self-doubt, and distractions is key to overcoming excuses and getting the most high-quality work done in the least amount of time possible. In order for entrepreneurs and others to do this successfully, they need to learn techniques and ways to counter the procrastination, self-doubt, and distractions they will experience as they attempt to complete projects and tasks that will boost their businesses, reputations, and profit. They also need to learn how to manage their time so that they are efficient, do the best-quality work in the least amount of time possible, and not ignore other areas of their life that would endanger their health, well-being, and their businesses.

In the coming chapters of this book, you will learn why procrastination is a major enemy to doing your best work and why it is in your best interest to overcome it. You will learn how self-doubt leads to slower work, which can negatively impact the quality of your work. You will learn how to handle both the distractions you can and cannot control so that they do not impact the quality or your work nor the time it takes you to complete them. You will learn why staying on or ahead of schedule is key to doing your best work. You will learn how to “make a game” out of getting things done promptly so you can work more efficiently. You will learn why focusing on the benefits and rewards you?ll get after completing a project is key to completing that project efficiently and doing your best work. You will learn why taking regular breaks during your project and taking care of your health and well-being are also key to doing your best work.

Step 1: First Understand Procrastination Makes You Work Slower

In virtually every occupation, there are certain aspects to a job or task that people don?t like doing. In the business or financial world, it could be that you have to work with mathematics or mathematical computer programs in order to determine what actions to take to create the best products for your business or pick the best stocks for your investment firm. In teaching, it could be writing or typing out the lesson plans you have to create for each day and week you teach. For entrepreneurs, it could be creating the sales letters you need to sell your online products.

Obtaining Information

There is a radical change in which we are obtaining information today. The number of options of obtaining information has increased, but what is most interesting is that the number of ways in which we can harness this information has also increased by leaps and bounds.

Today there is so much we can do with the information we get and we can get it from so many places that our options have become almost endless.

But, to start with, we shall see about the differences in getting information. Here we talk of some ways of acquiring information that we can use in the contemporary sense.

Human Beings

The human being has always been an inquisitive species. It is because of this reason that we have managed to reach this stage of development and progress in our evolution. We have consistently made progress and we have always believed that Necessity is the mother of invention. It is on account of that that we have been able to see our shortcomings, we have been able to see what we are lacking in, and then have been able to develop the things that we need to enhance our existence.

This has been a continuous process throughout history. Humans have always been involved in the process of obtaining information and then harnessing it to improve their way of living. We did it 5,000 years ago, we are doing it now, and we will continue to do so 5,000 years down the line.

The onus of our evolutionary strides has always rested on our inquisitive mind… our need to find information, our tendency to observe, our penchant for questioning things that happen around us. This is what converted us from Homo neanderthalensis to Homo erectus, then from Homo erectus to Homo sapiens and from Homo sapiens to our current form Homo sapiens sapiens. It is our questing mind that has helped us throughout our evolution, and the questing mind hasn’t still been satiated. We are constantly seeking information now as well. We are always on a drive to find out more, whether it is about a new route to reach downtown or it is about how we can make a synthetic DNA molecule.

Inquisitiveness has been ingrained in us. We are born with it. The first reaction of a baby when they come in to the world is to look all around, take up everything that they can in those tiny staring eyes of theirs. The mind is processing information very fast at this rate, and as it processes more information, it is becoming sharper as well. It is amassing everything that it is exposed to. The baby’s mind understands what different things are, how they are useful, how they can be used, what they are called, what happens around them and so on. They build on experiences. No one can teach a baby everything that they want to learn. Parents and teachers have a streamlined process of transferring information to babies; but their basic education is through observing everything that happens around them. This would not have been possible if we were born with a questioning mind. It is this inquisitive mind that keeps telling us things.

And this process continues throughout our lives. There is not a moment in our lives where we do not learn, where we do not acquire information. Right now, you are getting informed as you are reading this. You get informed when you go to work. You get informed when you cook your daily meal, when you shop, when you watch a movie, when you play with the kids. Your information acquiring process does not even stop when you are simply walking down the road. Whether you know it or not, the information is coming into you and your brain is processing it… retaining what is most important to you and pushing back what you don’t need to remember to the deeper annals of its intricate structure.

Obtaining Information

In the Stone Age, information was obtained through observation. We saw that it turned bright and dark alternately. We observed that was a regular phenomenon that happened without a break. The concept of day was born. We realized that when two pieces of flint are rubbed together, they can create a spark. We learned how to make fire. We understood that water pours from the sky in the form of rain, and we can shelter ourselves in caves. The first homes were created. We understood that man and woman can mate and create progeny. We understood that people united in this manner should stay together for their various needs. The concept of family was born. We understood that families can do better if they huddle together. They can fight natural calamities and predating animals in a better manner. Communities were born.

Later we understood that we could plant seeds in the ground and crops came up. We learned our first method of sustenance. Then we had free time. We realized that we had an artistic instinct. We could create things of beauty. The first rock paintings were just a precursor to our different art forms. Our monosyllabic sounds evolved into language.

Throughout this evolutionary process, we acquired information all the way. There was no one to teach us; it was only our keen sense of observation that got us going. But, we did not stop at that. That is what makes us different from animals around us. We have a talent, a special skill, for taking what we have and trying to improve it all the time. So, we took our innate genius of observation ahead. We began to observe both in the micro world and in the macro world. We saw things smaller than our eyes could see and we saw things more distant than our vision could see. We understood that microorganisms exist; we understood that there is space. We tried to hear things that our ears did not allow us to listen. We understood there are infrasonic waves and we understood there are ultrasonic waves.

Today, we are living in times when we know a lot about the world, definitely more than what we knew in the Stone Age. There is still a long way to go… what we know already may not even be the equivalent of an electron in the composition of the entire world, but we know something that’s more than what we knew to start with.

This is amazing progress. And, the best thing is that we have not put a stop on our progress yet. We are moving on.
