I promote several affiliate products on my website. With the recent passing of the California click-through nexus Affiliate Tax ABx1 28 I have been receiving emails from affiliates that are sorting out what the impact of this new bill is to their business.

GOOD NEWS

Although, several affiliate programs have canceled my account — one affiliate sent me an Important Update — a Certification of Non-Solicitation.

As I understand, a Certification of Non-Solicitation shows that you had a previous business relationship and may be a way to continue business as an affiliate.

If I get a cancellation from an affiliate, I send them a reply email and ask if their company has researched the Certification of Non-Solicitation.

Working together, we can better understand the California click-through nexus Affiliate Tax ABx1 28 — and how to reduce the impact to our businesses.

I welcome your comments.

It is important to take steps to keep your blood pressure under control.

Celiac Disease, celiac sprue or gluten sensitive enteropathy is an autoimmune disorder of the small intestines. In our bodies, the small intestine is responsible for the absorption of the foods we eat. When someone with Celiac Disease ingests foods that contain gluten, the body produces antibodies that attack the small intestines and in particularly the villi.

The villi are tiny hair-like projections that line the small intestine that allow nutrients to be absorbed into the blood stream. Without healthy villi, the body is unable to absorb the proteins, carbohydrates, fats, vitamins and minerals we need, regardless of how much we eat or how high the quality foods we eat are. Without our ability to absorb nutrients, over time, it can lead to malnutrition and/or secondary health concerns.

The cause of celiac disease is…

Does the thought of boarding a plane induce feelings of panic and anxiety, or cause you to have palpitations, sweaty palms, trembling, shortness of breath, muscle tension and/or nausea? If so, you may suffer from aviatophobia, or fear of flying.

You’re not alone! A poll from Newsweek reported that 50% of surveyed adults have experienced flight anxiety, a condition which can significantly impact work or leisure travel. Luckily, there are many things you can try naturally to calm your mind and nerves.

Facing your fear

What seems to be the root of the anxiety? For some, it may be the confinement of a being on a plane, the crowds at the airport, or fear of the plane malfunctioning. Some people begin to feel symptoms before they even reach the airport, showing that a mind-over-matter approach can greatly alleviate stress.

Usually, these fears are irrational, as statistics show that air travel is actually safer than via an automobile. To handle anxiety caused by claustrophobia or crowds, the following tips may help:

* Take care the night before and drink a cup of chamomile tea, to ensure a restful night –minus the anxiety.
* Practice relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises, listening to music or meditating to relieve stress that may trigger symptoms.
* Have good distractions handy, such as a good book or puzzle to keep your mind busy if your thoughts start to wander.
* Think positively when you find yourself in a situation that causes panic – repeat affirmations such as “I can do this”.
* Arrive early so you can unwind before you have to board and are not stressing over long lines or checking luggage.
* Avoid sedatives, as they usually cause negative side effects and leave you in a vulnerably groggy state.

Finding support naturally

Herbal and homeopathic remedies can offer safe, effective relief for the symptoms associated with aviatophobia, without the risk of side effects. A combination of herbs such as Lemon Balm, Lavender and Passion Flower help to soothe nerves and maintain a positive outlook. The use of valerian has been known to effectively rid symptoms of anxiety. Though valerian is not related, it is known as nature’s valium.

Homeopathic ingredients such as Cocculus indicus, Lobelia inflata, Gelsemium and Bryonia alba can help to relieve dizziness, nausea, disorientation and sweating – often associated with panic attacks. A quick fix for queasy feelings is eating ginger, before leaving your home, making a small cup of ginger tea, or taking a bite of ginger root will quell nausea.

Combined with addressing the psychological side of the phobia with relaxation and other techniques, you can leave your flight anxiety behind!

Asian cultures tend to eat very healthfully, with an emphasis on veggies, and with meat used as a “condiment” rather than being the focus of the meal. Unfortunately, Americanized versions of these ethnic foods tend to be much higher in fat and calories – so caution is needed. But here’s a great tip for all Asian restaurants – use the chopsticks! You’ll eat more slowly, since you can’t grasp as much food with them at one time as you can with your normal fork and knife.
