Should I Do a Detox Before Starting a New Diet Or Fitness Routine?

Should I Do a Detox Before Starting a New Diet Or Fitness Routine?

Jump Starter

The Master Cleanse has been around for over 50 years and it's worked successfully for many worldwide. It is one of the the cheapest and one of the most effective detox programs  around. Most people do the fast for just 10 days, however one can continue up to 40 days. The master cleanse recipe includes a mixture of grade B maple syrup (this is extremely important), water, lemon juice and cayenne pepper. 
 
It is always a good idea to do a body detox or fast before starting any new fitness or diet program. What's great about the popular Lemonade Diet is that there are special provisions for diabetics also. Although the carbs are high from the grade B maple syrup, they are not stored as fat and one will lose weight unless one drinks over 6 glasses each day or adds more syrup than recommended to each glass. Whether you do the fast for a short period of time or a long period of time - you don't have to worry about missing nutrients, all the vitamins, minerals and amino acids are provided by the grade B maple syrup and by the lemons or limes. The cayenne pepper clears out the mucus that is loosened by the cleanse and also stimulates the circulation. The combination of the lemon, maple syrup and cayenne pepper act as both a cleanser and a body builder.
 
Although it should be obvious, when participating in any fast or body detox - it's important that you stick with it - that means no eating and no food!  You drink your 6 - 12 glasses of lemonade, a cup of hot herbal laxative tea in the evening and morning, drink your usual 8-10 glasses of water each day. There is also a salt water flush each morning, which is optional. The point is to detoxify your body completely.
 
After thoroughly cleansing your body - you will likely feel like a brand new person. You will have increased energy, better mental clarity and an overall feeling of better health. However - there are some things that you will need to be aware of when ending your master cleanse. There are rules for coming off this fast. The day after the fast, you drink nothing but orange juice - no food, nothing else, just all the orange juice you can drink. The next day, you can have broth (and juice if you want), all liquids. The third day you can eat solids again. It is recommended that you start off slowly though, with raw food veggies like salads and fruit. This is the healthy way to come off of this particular fast.
 
As you can see, a body detox program is a great way to give jump start your new fitness regimen. You're giving your body a healthy advantage by starting with a clean slate so to speak. If you're feeling sluggish before beginning your new exercise program - then the likelihood of you completing it will decrease.

10 Questions to Ask Before Starting Your C-SOX Compliance Project

10 Questions to Ask Before Starting Your C-SOX Compliance Project

Jump Starter

China's Basic Standard for Enterprise Internal Control (C-SOX) is coming into effect soon, and while some of the implementation guidelines have not been specified, the core of the regulation is in place.

The main purpose of C-SOX is to increase the effectiveness of internal controls in listed Chinese companies, thus reducing risks for companies and their stakeholders. Companies must evaluate their internal controls, publish an evaluation report on an annual basis and audit the effectiveness of their internal controls. These are new concepts to many organizations in China, and as a result there is some resistance and confusion to deal with. Below is a list of ten questions to address before starting your C-SOX implementation process.

1) Do we have an organization map? This document is the backbone of your C-SOX implementation because it shows the roles and responsibilities for the departments and employees. It will be used to assign areas of responsibility and internal control approval levels. If your organization does not have a recent map, work with your human resources department to put one together.

2) Who "owns" C-SOX? The answer should be the CEO and Board of Directors. If top management doesn't own the C-SOX process, it means that the company is not putting in the right amount of resources needed to make the implementation work. Companies that delegate C-SOX implementation to a specific department risk failure due to lack of support.

3) What is our current risk management framework? An existing risk management framework is a great starting point for C-SOX. It could be based on COSO, ERM or ISO 31000 - the point of departure is less important that the discipline that comes with a risk management process. If you do not have an existing risk management framework, you should hire an outside consultant or expert to help you.

4) How will IT help us? IT will play a key role in your C-SOX process, so it helps to get the IT team involved early. Part of the implementation will be buying new software (in fact, the Basic Standard for Enterprise Internal Control mandates the use of IT systems with in-built controls) and the IT department can help to draft a strategy and execute it.

5) What is our training plan? Your compliance initiative will not succeed if you don't train your staff. The training plan should include at least the following elements: why internal control is important, key internal controls, company policies and procedures, and who to go to with questions. Use e-learning to get the training out quickly and with maximum consistency.

6) Where is the expertise? If you don't have experts on internal control and risk management within your company, you should hire externally to jump start your project. There are many specialist consultants who can help you develop and execute your strategy and who will train your staff (this will reduce your costs in the long term).

7) What constitutes success? Make sure the CEO and top management have a shared vision of what C-SOX success looks like. This is a long process and there will be many steps along the way. Your implementation plan should detail key milestones and metrics for your business.

8) How do we evaluate staff performance? Several elements of C-SOX are related to human resources. Managers have to perform self-evaluations against internal control metrics, meaning that department managers will have to disclose information about their goals and objectives, and rate themselves on their performance. Furthermore, the Basic Standard for Enterprise Internal Control requires that compensation of executives be linked to internal control. These are new concepts for many companies, and setting up a performance management process is the best way to implement these requirements.

9) What's in it for me? Unless managers understand the benefits of C-SOX compliance, they are not likely to want to invest time and money in the process. Make sure you have an education campaign so staff understand where they fit in the process and the benefits to them.

10) What's next? C-SOX compliance is an on-going process, not a one-time event. There are always next steps and future plans and strategies that need to be implemented. You need a team that is able to implement existing requirements and plan ahead for what comes next.

The Basic Standard for Enterprise Internal Control is a wide-ranging rule which will impact every area of a company's business. You need to take care to address these fundamental questions before starting your implementation process.

Stock Market Strategies - Practice Before You Jump

Stock Market Strategies - Practice Before You Jump

Jump Starter

There are tons of stock market strategies out there, but the reality is that the best strategy for you depends on several factors including the risk you're prepared to take, your financial goals and what kinds of stocks you're most interested in. For folks just getting started, one great tip is to a practice run before you put really money at stake.

The process is very simple. You'll do everything the same way you would if you were investing - except for putting your money into the market. First, you'll do your research. There's a variety of ways to compile information about the best buys out there. There are tons of financial journals, some simple enough for beginners to understand and some more complicated that are geared towards the pros. You might also pay attention to the chatter on the internet message boards and the financial news networks.

Once you have a few stocks in mind, you'll want to research the companies further. Going directly to their website and looking into their past, present and projected future is a good option. You can also check back issues online of papers that have run stories about them in the past. You'll then create a spreadsheet indicating exactly how much you would buy today and how much it would cost you.

Every day you'll make a note of the stock price and adjust your spreadsheet. After a few weeks you'll get an idea of how well you would have performed if it were real money you were playing with. This is a great way to get used to ups and downs and realize that things do tend to even out eventually. If you practice this with several different stock market strategies you'll soon know which one is the best for you.
