Sample issue of Barton Publishing Optimal Health Newsletter:

Today's "kickoff" newsletter will talk about 3 subjects - sleep,
eating more often, and the benefits of ball exercises.

=====
SLEEP
=====

Did you know that one of the most common reasons for less-than-optimal
health is the result of poor sleeping related habits? Over 70 Million
Americans suffer from sleep problems.

Here is a list of poor sleeping habits that you can break immediately
for a healthier life:

1) Don't watch TV or read in bed! Your bed should be used for 2
things - sleeping and sex. Bedtime activities like reading or
watching TV will subconsciously disrupt sleep.

2) Get at least 7 hours of good sleep every night. It's true that
most people today simply have too much going on in a day, so 24 hours
just doesn't seem to be enough. Unfortunately, when you cut sleep out
of your daily schedule, the rest of your activities are really
going to suffer. Make a point of going to bed at least 8 hours
before you need to wake up, so you have extra time to fall asleep.

3) Take an afternoon nap!

A good night's sleep will be important for your productivity, for
your safety (drowsiness is one of the leading causes of fatal
traffic accidents), and your overall well being.

EATING MORE OFTEN
=================

If you are trying to maintain a healthy weight, or trying to lo*se
weight to GET to your optimal weight, we highly recommend you try
to eat more than just 3 meals a day.

Some people, when dieting, think cutting a meal will help you lo*se
weight. But the opposite is actually true!

The key is metabolism. When your body skips a meal, it will think
"I'm starving" and go into shut-down mode, reserving fuel (fat) in
the process.

However, when you eat more often, like every 3 hours, your body
will actually increase the rate of digestion and will keep your
fat-burning machine going full speed ahead!

The key to success with this formula is eating LIGHT MEALS, 4 to 6
times per day. And eating healthy, low-sugar and low-trans fat foods
will help keep you lean and energized.

We strongly recommend that you always eat a well-rounded breakfast
(not just a cereal bar) to start your day. This is a key
to optimal health. Eggs, whole-grain toast, or a healthy cereal
will go a long way in starting the day off right!

BENEFITS OF BALL EXERCISES
==========================

If you don't own an exercise ball, we recommend you head over
to the sporting goods department at Wal-mart or another local store
and get one today! They cost around $10, and they are one of the
best pieces of exercise equipment you can own.

If you want a stronger, more supportive back, improved posture, better
performance in sports, and even more enjoyable sex - then the
exercise ball is for you.

Your "core" muscles are those around your belly, hips, and lower
back. They extend into your thighs and upper back as well, which
supports your entire body.

Did you know that, in order to move your arm, you must first have
proper function in your lower back? See if you can move your arm
without using any back muscles... (it's impossible). That is why
back injuries often lead to paralysis of arms and/or legs.

We recommend you get an exercise ball, along with a chart for proper
usage (most balls come with a chart), and get working today.

We also recommend you visit a local chiropractor if you have any
pain in your shoulders, upper or lower back, or neck. We recommend
chiropractors who use a device called an activator, and you can
find a listing of qualified chiropractors near you here:
