However, not many business people are paying attention to what should be done to maintain optimum health. The main reason – “ they’re too busy”. It’s because not that many people realize that being healthy affects their performance a lot. The most common example – stress. Can you do business and not be under stress? Impossible! But do you know how stress affects your performance?
When you see a child in front of your fast moving car, you don’t think how beautiful the child is, or how old he is, or who are his parents, right? You just press the brakes! Why? Because you are under stress. At this time you don’t need your cortex with its high intellectual ability, you just need a simple reflex, to press the brakes. Therefore so that you can do this, your body while under stress, shuts down your cortex. The same thing happens when you’re under stress while doing your business – your body shuts down your intellectual ability! Therefore you are not able to make the best business decisions.
The second very important cause: hormone levels decline. Do you know, that after age 25 your hormone levels start declining? Remember, that in men testosterone is responsible for aggressiveness, in women it is estrogen, which influences business performance. They checked saliva testosterone levels in stockbrokers, and they found out, that the testosterone levels were directly corresponding to the amount of money earned that day.
The third cause: lack of essential nutrients because of Standard American Diet (SAD). The list of vitamins and minerals we’re likely to be deficient in, is long.
The fourth cause is this – toxins including, but not limited to, heavy metals (mercury in your tooth fillings, arsenic etc. ), plastics, pesticides, etc.

How to deal with this situation:
1.    Employ stress reduction techniques, including yoga, meditation, love, appreciation, relaxation, sleep hygiene, etc.
2.    Check your hormone levels and correct them if necessary.
3.    Eat the right food, which is the preferred method for replenishing your body with missing nutrients.
4.    Stay away from toxins and do practice detoxification, if necessary.
