Insulin resistance and healthy snacking!

Insulin resistance occurs when your body's insulin produced by the pancreas is unable to stabilize your blood sugar levels needed by your cells for normal functions. 

As a result, blood sugar levels can fluctuate dramatically after meals. If this condition continues for a long period of time, you may develop prediabetes symptoms or type2 diabetes itself. 

The main thrust of the intervention for symptoms of insulin resistance focuses on a dietary program that promotes weight loss and healthy food choices that are high in fiber and low in fats and sugar. 

The Mayo Clinic recommends smaller portion meals and healthy snacking that helps stabilize blood sugar levels. Eating nuts, vegetables and lean proteins can minimize spikes in blood sugar levels, provide high dietary fiber and promote weight loss due to high protein content, low calories and fats. Protein slows down the digestion of food, making you feel "fuller," and prevents blood sugar level fluctuations. Snacks like beef, turkey and chicken jerky are low in fat and calories.

Jerky Direct jerky meat snacks are high protein snacks that people dealing with insulin resistance can add to their smaller portion meals and/or snacking alternatives throughout the day.

Stay away from addictive foods!

A recent study by a group of students led by Joseph Schroeder, neuroscience professor at Connecticut College showed that lab rats became addicted to Oreo cookies high in fat and sugar in the same degree of their addiction to drugs such as cocaine or morphine. In fact the study showed that the Oreo cookies stimulated more neurons in the lab rat brain's "pleasure" center than the addictive drug, cocaine or morphine.

The study seem to support the premise that foods high in fat and sugar stimulate the brain's pleasure center in the same degree and intensity as addictive drugs. This finding might explain why people continue to indulge in high-fat and high-sugar foods despite being aware that they are detrimental to their health and well-being. No wonder being overweight has become a national epidemic.

Jerky Direct jerky meat snacks are healthier alternatives for foods high in fat and sugar, such as “Oreo” cookies, potato chips and sweets. They’re suitable for weight loss programs and for those requiring special dietary needs, such as high protein and low carbs, fat, calories and salt.

Poultry meat jerky exposed!

Since the Atkins diet became popular, many people on weight loss programs are turning to poultry meat products such as turkey and chicken jerky for high protein source in their snacking schedules between meals. 

An ounce serving of turkey or chicken jerky can provide up to 13 grams of protein! Protein snacks are preferred for weight loss because they make you feel fuller since they take longer to digest and minimize uncontrollable cravings for carb that can make you overeat. 

Additional health benefits from eating turkey or chicken jerky are that they are naturally lower in fat content than beef and most non-poultry meat products, and also lower in calories making them a perfect snacking choice for low carb diet. 

The amount of sodium is a big issue with most jerky products since salt is heavily used in traditional jerky-making process. That is why it is always prudent to watch your salt intake overall relative to the recommended daily values (about 2,400 mg per 2,000 daily caloric intake for adults and children 4 years and above). 

Jerky Direct poultry jerky meat snacks (turkey and chicken) make it simpler to manage your daily salt intake due to its products being close to 50-percent lower in sodium per 1-ounce serving than many of the popular brands in the market.

Unhealthy snacks can ruin healthy eating!

About 60-percent of consumers surveyed in 2012 indicated that their choice of snacks was based on how the snack tasted rather than whether it was nutritionally healthy, and mainly to satisfy cravings and not because they were hungry! 

So no matter how much progress we have made, our healthy eating can easily be sabotaged by snacking on "junk food" that can literally set back the healthy nutritional benefits we have achieved so far. Unless we're careful and remain aware, it is very easy to fall into the "junk food" snacking traps. 

It is truly a challenge to stay away from unhealthy snack choices, especially when most of the available products we find in the market contain high quantity of carb, fat, sodium and other additives/preservatives. 

Take for example "jerky" which is a favorite snack among adults and kids 17 and younger. If you are not careful, you'll end up eating a jerky snack that can have as much as 600 mg of sodium per 1-ounce serving! That's roughly 25% of recommended daily sodium intake of 2,400 mg based on a 2,000 calorie intake for adults and children age 4 and older!

Jerky Direct meat snacks (beef, chicken, turkey or buffalo) are not only tasty and healthy, but are close to 50-percent lower in sodium than most national jerky brands. 

Jerky Direct products are all-natural and/or certified organic meat with no added artificial ingredients. The meat comes from animals that have been raised without hormones, synthetic vitamins and antibiotics.

Jerky Direct makes it easy to choose a healthy snack anytime you have cravings between meals during your weight loss program or special dietary regimen.

Meeting people face-to-face is still essential!

Since the Internet became an accepted mode of interacting with others, many have shied away from meeting people face-to-face. 

As a result, we are losing the ability to truly "see and hear" what the underlying motivations or agendas are between the words being communicated in an email or text message. 

Face-to-face communication gives us better cues through the body language and voice intonation of the other person, and more importantly, the simple act of looking the person in the eye during a conversation. 

Video-conferencing (e.g. Skype) that can transmit the screen image of the person to whom you're talking, still cannot clearly project the level of eye contact that is only possible in a personal face-to-face meeting. 

Jerky Direct products are all-natural organic jerky meat snacks that are great to talk about with anyone! The products are high quality and very flavorful --- something you can be proud to share and talk about.

Sometimes, postal mail works better than email!

Jerky Direct shared a business success tip for its Distributors in its August 2013 newsletter, that sometimes postal mail works better than email when you need to express appreciation or gratitude to someone, whether for business or personal purpose. 

No one can resist opening and reading a hand-written note that has been hand addressed and postage stamped.  

Opening and sorting through your postal mails is a more relaxed environment than opening and sorting through your "spam" emails, according to Ivan Levison of business know-how. com. 

The postal mail sender has the opportunity to tell the whole story since readers of postal mails usually like to read stories that are compelling and persuasive. Email readers tend to have short attention span, preferring email contents that are concise and direct to the point; this limits email sender’s creativity to get email reader's attention and tell the whole story.

Both email and postal mail have advantages that should be considered in your business network communications. Each situation and cost-benefit should be weighed when deciding to use either one or both. 

Jerky Direct is a great business opportunity you will be proud to share with everyone! The company and its jerky products have been around since 2004 --- a solid testament to its financial stability and longevity and high quality all-natural organic jerky meat snacks.
