How Much Halloween Candy is Too Much

How Much Halloween Candy is Too Much With Halloween less than a week away, kids will be eating all the Halloween candy they can find, and sugar levels will be through the roof. But how much sugar is too much, and what are the signs your child is sugar overdosing? Dr. Christopher Calapai D.O.   is giving a rundown on sugar intake and what you need to know to keep your child out of a Halloween candy-induced sugar coma. How Much Sugar Is Too Much? For children, it depends on their age and their calorie intake, but as a general rule of thumb, 12-25 grams a day is just enough. What Are the Signs of Too Much Sugar? #1: Sugar High A sugar high happens when there are extremely high levels of blood sugar, which results in high energy and shaking of the hands. The candy equivalent is three Butterfingers, which is 30 grams. #2: Sugar Crash A sugar crash usually happens within an hour, and glucose levels in the body will drop, causing energy to decline as well. During a crash, you’ll most likely be fatigued, hungry, and may also have a headache. To get rid of a crash, your child’s best bet is to eat an apple or banana. #3: Your Child is Craving More Sugary foods release dopamine, which is the same chemical released during drug use.  Once your child starts eating more sugary foods, such as those Halloween treats, the craving for more will continue. When you eat a lot of sugar, your blood sugar levels rise, which causes the pancreas to produce insulin, a hormone that prompts cells to absorb blood sugar for energy and storage. When you have too much insulin, your blood sugar crashes, which makes you crave more sugar. So, if you cut back on sugary food, you won’t make a lot of insulin, and then you will stop craving the sugar. Choose lower carb, lower glycemic foods, like berries, veggies, proteins, protein shakes, protein bars and yogurt.  Pears are a great alternative, since it has almost 14 grams of sugar and reduces the risk of heart disease. #4: Sleeping is Almost Impossible Serotonin is released, which is our relaxation hormone, and is needed for a child to have a good night’s sleep. If insomnia issues arise, it’s time to reduce sugar intake. About the doctor: Dr. Christopher Calapai, D.O. is an Osteopathic Physician board certified in family medicine and anti-aging medicine. Proclaimed the The Stem Cell Guru by the New York Daily News, Dr. Calapai is a leader in the field of stem cell therapy in the U.S. His stem cell treatments have achieved remarkable results in clinical trials on patients with conditions as varied as Alzheimers, arthritis, erectile dysfunction, frailty syndrome, heart, kidney and liver failure, lupus, MS and Parkinsons.

The Effects of Employment Status During Job Interviews

The Effects of Employment Status During Job Interviews Back in 2016, I was a client of a new company called Find My Profession. This period in my career was particularly challenging because I had quit a job to take care of my mother. She was diagnosed with cancer and I believe family comes first. I took time off but needed to work, somehow. Meanwhile, I was looking for a job on my own.During this time, I regretted quitting my job before I started my job search. However, in my career, I have had job interviews while employed in the past. I invite you to read these effects of employment status on your job interviews if you are thinking of quitting your job before starting a job search. (Spoiler alert: It is still not a good idea to job search while unemployed)Overall Mindset Employed: Feeling cocky, secure, and not worried if the company thinks I am a fit or not.Unemployed: Desperate, insecure, and ready to say anything to get a job.Preparation for Interview QuestionsEmployed: Feeling like anything can be asked or discussed. You have a job . So do they.Unemployed: Read lots of LinkedIn advice on how to explain “dragon-slaying” stories. Deal with uncomfortable silences during the interview. Sound rehearsed, stiff, nervous and insecure while hoping someone sees this as a sign of what you are willing to do to get hired.Preparation of OutfitsEmployed: I will wear a suit or jeans and a t-shirt. It does not matter. Skip it. I am not a slob. I will just wear something business casual.Unemployed: Nothing in my closet fits. My attire will not match the company's culture. A suit is too much, but I do not want to insult anyone by over or underdressing.Attitude Towards the Job InterviewerEmployed: I am off the market. I am wanted goods. You tell me why I should want to work here.Unemployed: I will do anything you want when you want it. And I am very capable of doing so. I do not know how to tell you this without sounding desperate.Preparation for Explaining Experience and Job GapsEmployed: Does it really matter? Another compa ny hired me. Why not be smart like the other companies and do the same?Unemployed: I will try to stick to relevant experience, even though I know they want to know more. How do I explain job gaps without looking lazy, disloyal, or worse? Is it too negative to say the real reasons why, like a family member being sick?Preparation for Behavioral QuestionsEmployed: Weaknesses? I have none. Strengths? I have many. Let me just get on with these silly questions so they can decide to hire me already.Unemployed: I want to work here because I need a job and I am at the mercy of the company that wants me. Why even bother answering these seemingly meaningless questions.Greetings and Saying GoodbyeEmployed: Shakes hand and says hello. Leaves when the interview is done. Must get back to work now.Unemployed:Nervous handshake. Focused on the right way to say hello and goodbye without hanging around too long. Not sure what to do next. Once the interview is done, there is no job to go back to. So, wh at now?In ConclusionYou may find it unfair, but the person who is “Employed” gets hired more than the person who is “Unemployed”. This happens typically because of the following:Skills not in use become outdated Unemployment rates are low so the assumption is a job candidate is at fault for being unemployed Companies are not in the business of saving people from unemploymentYou can see how the Employed mindset is cocky, arrogant, maybe even obnoxious, which does count against the Employed person at times. The Unemployed thinker is insecure, full of doubt, and seems to lack confidence.The effects of one's employment status during a job interview is stronger than most realize. The only solution to this problem is to go into every job interview either believing you still have a job or actually having a job of some sort, even if you are only consulting or volunteering.

Simple Office Upgrades for Enhanced Work Performance

Simple Office Upgrades for Enhanced Work Performance Photo Credit â€" Pixabay.comIt’s hard to determine what makes a business productive. It’s a mix of motivation provided by the management team and the environment in which the work is done. This means both the gadgets and utilities a company possess and interaction between coworkers. The former part of this equation often gets overlooked, because it seems like a small matter. It most definitely is not.Small tweaks around the office can do wonders for your productivity at large. Here’s a list of upgrades you can easily install and soon you’ll notice a difference in performance.1. Desks and ChairsThis seems pretty elementary, but it’s the basis of any workplace productivity. Employees should be comfortable and you should avoid clutter wherever it’s possible. Obviously, you should start dealing with these issues by taking care of desks and chairs.evalInvesting in ergonomic chairs is never a waste of money. You’ll be spending a lot of time on that chair and it’s important to choose the one that’s best for your posture. Desks should provide enough space for work, while at the same time they can conceal cables and charge your devices. Consider getting standing desks for data entry or programming jobs.2. ColorsIt may sound like voodoo but it’s actually based on science. A color palette which surrounds us can significantly help not just with productivity, but generally with the mood at the office. Warm colors Humidity levels should generally be kept somewhere between 20 and 70 percent, but this is only roughly speaking. Air velocity below 0.2 meters per second will keep the air fresh and it won’t interfere with the work.All of these may seem like nitpicking, but if any of these conditions are a bit off â€" it starts to show and going to the office becomes an unnecessarily difficult task. Avoid it so you can focus on work.

3 Secrets to Thought Leadership on LinkedIn

3 Secrets to Thought Leadership on LinkedIn 27 Flares 27 Flares Emmelie  De La Cruz, Founder of  The Branding Muse, is the go-to expert for college students and young professionals who want to take control of their personal brand and thrive in the competitive job market. She loves tweeting so reach out:  @Hermusings. Thought leaders are trusted experts in a particular field or industry who constantly seek to educate themselves and others on the latest developments, trends and best practices that will add value to their communities and the general public. As a job seeker, becoming the go-to person in your industry will help ensure that you are always employed, whether it is by a company or for yourself. Lewis Howes said it best: “If you’re not a thought leader, there are a million other people who can do exactly what you do, and waiting in line to do it.” LinkedIn is the perfect avenue to begin developing your thought leadership and build trust and credibility with your community. LinkedIn was previously a social network used strictly for job seekers. Today, it is a professional social network where employees, employers and job seekers alike can manage their contacts, make connections and uncover new opportunities. The site has grown into an information hub that delivers trending news in addition to showcasing your work and professional experience. There are different ways to harness the power of this platform to showcase your expertise, skill set and leadership. 1. Invest time in your profile. You will want to provide some social proof that you are a leader in your field by completing your profile as thoroughly as possible. In addition to an accomplishment-based summary and job descriptions, you will want to make sure you complete your “Skills Expertise” and “Honors Awards” sections to help inform your profile visitors of your capabilities.  Collect recommendations and endorsements from as many people that can speak to your work as possible. 2. Showcase your work. As a job seeker, you want to use your LinkedIn as an extension of your online portfolio. LinkedIn allows you to connect your blog and SlideShare account to your profile, in addition to adding media for specific positions. Keep in mind that the platform is used by employers and brands to source for new talent. Thus, it will be important for them to find you and be impressed with the work you’ve done and information available. You should be sharing valuable content that is directly related to your industry across multiple platforms. This is where your personal brand and work examples come into play and should speak volumes about your capabilities and work ethic. 3. Share industry news and become a source of information. Professionals love to read, find and engage with information constantly. Become a source of information by reading about the latest happenings in your industry and providing your own perspective on it with a short comment. Experts master  content curation  and spend some time each day collecting, organizing and sharing information within their area of expertise.  LinkedIn Today  is a section of the website you should visit that is designed for bringing your industry news to you. We have moved toward a knowledge economy where what you know and what you do with that knowledge is becoming increasingly important. By using LinkedIn to build connections and create thought leadership, you are building and strengthening your online reputation. The key to successful networking and leadership development on LinkedIn is being forward thinking, an advocate and an active participant in your industry’s community. As a working professional, not taking advantage of this valuable resource to position you as a thought leader in your industry and niche can slow your progress. Your network and their perceptions of your skills and capabilities have a direct impact on your career.

My Day in the Life

My Day in the Life When April of Blacksburg Belle asked me to be part of her amazeballs new series, A Day in the Life Of, I obviously jumped at the chance. Not only do I love me some April Bowles-Olin (she’s the sweetest, and that’s the truth), but I think it’s such a great idea to shine the light on how us Women of the World (as I like to call us full-time female entrepreneurs) get it all done. Come on over and take a peak at a typical (if there is such a thing!) workday for me, along with some stinky truths and extra-Jewey blocks of time. Fun!
