During hard economic times, businesses and entrepreneurs panic and start making marketing decisions with their lizard brain. Itâs an understandable, but costly mistake. When times are tough, companies look to grow their businesses as quickly as possible. Itâs during those times, that most have a tendency to forget that marketing is a subtle art and revert to the hard sell. Particularly in the PR and the media world, the hard sell is generally the least effective approach. Yes you want to sell your product or service; yes you want to reach your target market, but you want to do so in a manner that the media can understand. You need to meet the mediaâs needs in order to meet those of your company.
An effective public relations campaign can build a brand, add value to the company, increase the bottom line, build the client and customer base, and increase sales. It can also help change minds and attitudes. It is the most powerful marketing tool available.
Yes itâs important that a PR campaign helps build and perpetuate the company. But there are times that business owners miss the mark by not understanding that meeting the mediaâs objectives will eventually meet business objectives. If that formula is reversed, it often doesnât work. What I mean by that is that if you pitch your âneedâ to sell products or increase your client base to the media, youâre going to lose their interest from the start. They donât care that you need to build your business, what they care about is a good story that meets their readersâ or viewersâ needs.
Launching an effective PR campaign all comes down to telling effective stories with a strong narrative. People listen to good stories. Effective stories get people to feel, act and react, whereas pitching a run-of-the-mill, our-product-is-the-best type of story generally only leads to yawns.
So donât just think of your PR and media relations message when youâre ready to pitch the press. Keep your message in mind each step of the way. You never know where youâll find your most effective stories. Keep your PR hat on even when you think itâs not a part of the game, for example, when purchasing, during sales activities, employee hiring or training, and during trade shows. You never know where youâll find that one great story that opens the media floodgates. If you skip the hard sell and take a more creative, more subtle approach you can meet their objectives, which in turn, will meet yours.

Abstract: This article provides a summary of the scientific and clinical evidence for 10 factors that can help prevent aging of the brain. These include dietary factors, herbal supplements, yoga, music, massage therapy and dance. The information is referenced to publications and research articles, to help the reader to make an informed decision on supplements for memory and brain health.
Introduction
Our lifestyle and what we eat has an influence on our organs. The brain is no exception, but is often neglected. Read through the pages on this article and you’ll get a quick summary of factors that can help to keep the brain active and young through our later years. Brain aging is a phenomena that in recent years, has attracted much attention by researchers and this article reviews some of the main factors that can modulate brain aging. Please also look up the references herein and conduct your own research!.
1. Dietary Antioxidants
Oxidative stress may produce neuronal degeneration through protein oxidation, DNA oxidation, and lipid peroxidation. The antioxidant micronutrients are ascorbate (vitamin C), alphatocopherol (vitamin E), and carotenoids, which are provided in the diet, particularly by fruit and vegetables. In observational studies, a high intake of vitamins E and C is protective against AD (Ref: Engelhart MJ, Geerling MI, Ruitenberg A, et al. Dietary intake of antioxidants and risk of Alzheimer disease. JAMA. 2002b;287:3223–9). Dietary supplementation with fruit or vegetable extracts high in antioxidants, such as blueberry or spinach extracts, might improve cognitive performance (Ref: Joseph JA, Shukitt-Hale B, Casadesus G. Reversing the deleterious effects of aging on neuronal communication and behavior: beneficial properties of fruit polyphenolic compounds. Am J Clin Nutr. 2005;81:313–16). Flavonoids, which are powerful antioxidants found in wine, tea, fruit, and vegetables may also prevent dementia. A large study showed that the intake of flavonoids is inversely related to the risk of dementia (Ref:Commenges D, Scotet V, Renaud S, et al. Intake of flavonoids and risk of dementia. Eur J Epidem. 2000;16:357–63).
2. Folate (Vitamin B12)
Folate or folic acid is found in various foods, including spinach, orange juice and yeast. The liver generates several forms of folate after the intestine has absorbed vitamin B. Folate deficiency, which is mostly caused by low dietary intake, has been associated with a number of physiological abnormalities during development and adulthood. The results of a recent randomized clinical trial indicated that a 3-year folic acid supplementation can help to reduce the age-related decline in cognitive function (Ref: Durga J, et al. Effect of 3-year folic acid supplementation on cognitive function in older adults in the FACIT trial: a randomised, double blind, controlled trial. Lancet. 2007;369:208–216)………… a complete text copy of this article is available at www.activmind.com.sg or click on this link http://www.activmind.com.sg/add_page.asp?pid=38&mcid=18
