Choose Healthy Kids Snacks In Kansas City

Posted on May 17, 2012 by jjbirden212

Choose Healthy Kids Snacks In Kansas City My name is JJ Birden and I am a children’s health advocate in Kansas City, Missouri. Most Missouri parents notice behavioral effects when they feed their kids highly processed foods full of sugar and additives.

Mission elementary teachers advise sending fruit, vegetables, and protein in children’s lunches and leaving processed, sugary snacks at home. They notice that Kansas City children who eat healthy learn and behave better.

When shopping at your Mission grocery store you may want to start reading labels on snacks more carefully. A recent study conducted by Britain’s Food Standards Agency (their version of the FDA) found that seven dyes could affect children’s intelligence by up to five IQ points! When reading Missouri food labels check for Yellow #5, Yellow #6, and Red #40. In fact, Red #40 is banned in several European countries.

Red #40 is banned in several European countries.

My kids love dried apricots, raisins, sliced apples with sunflower seed butter, and snap peas. If you would like more information on improving your Kansas City child’s health and nutrition through healthy snacking please contact me today! – Good luck

Overland Park Home Business Tax Write-Offs

Posted on May 16, 2012 by jjbirden212

Overland Park Home Business Tax Write-Offs

Hello home based business owners in Overland Park! Today’s blog is about saving money with home business tax write-offs. If you are running your own direct sales business or online store out of your Overland Park home, you can take advantage of several tax breaks.

A percentage of your rent or mortgage and utilities can be deducted. If you use your computer exclusively for running your business, you may be able to write off the entire purchase price. Don’t forget to include the monthly fee to your internet service provider (I put this expense under the utilities category mentioned previously.)

Gasoline and auto maintenance expenses can take a large chunk of your income, especially as Overland Park gas prices continue to rise. Don’t forget to expense the business portion of your transportation costs.

You can’t write off 100 percent of business meals eaten in Mission restaurants, but you may be able to expense 50 percent. The amount may seem too little to bother with, or on the other hand, it may surprise you. The key to getting the most tax savings possible is keeping good records and adding up all the little savings.

Here’s wishing all Overland Park home business owners a smaller tax bill this year!

NIH Children’s Check-Up Guidelines In Mission

Posted on May 10, 2012 by jjbirden212

NIH Children's Check-Up Guidelines In MissionAs Missouri parents, we know our children’s health includes physical, mental and social well-being. Most Mission parents are aware of the essentials in keeping their kids healthy; providing nutritious meals, making sure they get adequate sleep and physical activity, and guaranteeing their safety.

It is also necessary for our Mission kids to receive regular checkups with their Missouri health care providers. Not only will these visits track your Mission child’s development, but will aid in averting health problems.

According to the NIH, besides regular checkups, school-age Shawnee Mission and Kansas City children should also see their Mission doctor for:

  • Significant weight gain or loss
  • Sleep problems or change in behavior
  • Fever higher than 102
  • Rashes or skin infections
  • Frequent sore throats
  • Breathing problems

I would love to share more children’s health information with you. Please call me today!

Kansas City News – Xocai Gets An ‘A’ From Better Business Bureau!

Posted on May 10, 2012 by jjbirden212

Kansas City Missouri Xocai Gets An 'A' From Better Business Bureau I am pleased to announce to our Kansas City Xocai community that MXI Corp (the Healthy Dark Chocolate Company) has received an ‘A’ rating from the Better Business Bureau!

This ranking is current; this ranking is credible; this ranking is Incredible!

News from Kansas City Missouri: BBB Ranking For MXI Corp.: ‘A’ Jeanette Brooks, President Andrew Brooks, COO

The Better Business Bureau issues Reliability Reports on all businesses. The BBB Rating for MXI Corp. is as follows…

Based on BBB files, MXI Corp. (Xocai; A Jeanette Brooks company) has a BBB Rating of ‘A’ on a scale from A+ to F.

The BBB assigns ratings by evaluating businesses in the following categories:

  • BBB experience with the industry in which the business operates, including Kansas City Missouri
  • The business’ length of time in operation
  • Whether the BBB has information that the business does not have a required competency license
  • Any known government actions against the business that are related to marketplace activities
  • Any advertising issues found by the BBB
  • The number of complaints received by the BBB from the business’ customers
  • The number of complaints received by the BBB from the business’ customers that are of a serious nature
  • Whether the business has responded to complaints received by the BBB
  • Whether complaints have been resolved in a timely manner / the business has demonstrated a good faith effort
  • Business’ overall complaint history with the BBB
  • Whether the business has failed to resolve the underlying cause(s) of a pattern of complaints
  • Whether the business has honored any commitments to the BBB to arbitrate or mediate disputes and comply with decisions
  • Whether the BBB has sufficient background information and clear understanding of business
  • Whether the BBB Accreditation was revoked because the business failed to comply with agreed BBB standards

Ratings are determined by a proprietary formula that represents the BBB’s opinion as to the importance of each category, and the appropriate score given to the business for each category.

The Better Business Bureau assigns company’s like Xocai grades from A to F with pluses and minuses. A+ is the highest grade and F is the lowest. The grade represents the BBB’s degree of confidence that the business is operating in a trustworthy manner and will make a good faith effort to resolve any customer concerns filed with the Better Business Bureau.

The BBB’s rating of MXI reflects their opinion about the business based on information in they have in their files and their experience with the company. While the rating is not a guarantee of the company’s reliability or performance, it is a good indicator of Xocai’s performance based on the list of criteria above.

This is fantastic news for our Kansas City Missouri Xocai distributors!

BBB ratings are subject to change on a daily basis based on changes in a business’ BBB file.

I delight in our mxi healthy dark cacao!!

New Sunscreen Recommendations For Kansas City Infants

Posted on May 3, 2012 by jjbirden212

New Sunscreen Recommendations For Kansas City Infants Babies love to be outdoors on a sunny Mission day, but a new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics suggests that changes in the skin that lead to skin cancer may actually occur in a person’s first year. However, sunscreen is not recommended for Kansas City children under six months of age. What’s a parent to do?

Mission parents should be aware that infants have a much higher body surface to volume ratio than adults. Because of this, babies absorb much more of the chemicals in the sunscreen.

In addition, younger babies don’t sweat as efficiently as those older, so they are at greater risk of becoming dehydrated, and sunscreen can impair effective cooling by perspiration.

Mission parents should dress infants in protective clothing and hats and keep them in the shade. If needed, a little sunscreen can be used on the face and hands, where sunburns often occur in young Mission children.

I am an independent Xobiotic Squares consultant based in Kansas City. If you are interested in learning about nutritional products for your Mission family, contact me today.

Jeanette Brooks and Healthy Missouri Chocolate

Posted on May 2, 2012 by jjbirden212

Jeanette Brooks and Healthy Missouri Chocolate In the world of Direct Marketing, Jeanette L. Brooks is known as a dynamic leader and savvy marketer. She is the co-founder of MXI the company behind Xocai healthy chocolate. Smart business people in Missouri are teaming up with Xocai, the company that manufactures the original antioxidant chocolate. Jeanette is leading the acai chocolate revolution that’s gaining momentum in Mission.

In the diabetes community, Jeanette is known as the woman who created a chocolate superfood that helps diabetics. The antioxidants in Xocai healthy chocolate for diabetics helps counteract insulin resistance. Chocolate loving diabetics would not have a beneficial dark chocolate if Jeanette and her colleagues had not found a way to retain the potent levels of flavanoids and phytonutrients found in raw, unprocessed cocoa. This was achieved by developing an innovative cold processing method used only at the Xocai facility in Belgium. Jeanette’s MXI corp owns the international patent for this technology. Xocai is the only chocolate processed using this method.

You see, like many people in our town of Kansas City Missouri, Jeanette has diabetes. She has first-hand experience using low glycemic Xocai chocolate to lose weight, control blood sugar levels, and maintain adequate blood circulation. Jeanette lost over 115 pounds using Xocai weight loss chocolate. During this time, her daily insulin intake dropped from over a hundred units to just ten! She chuckles when she hears the occasional doubt about the power of healthy chocolate, or when people ask her whether Xocai is a scam; She is living proof!

A Missouri Xocai distributor once said: ‘The more I discover about the organization and their commitment to making it work the more enthusiastic I become. I am building a strong business where people can enjoy something that they love and actually does them good . . . Its fun, it’s a great team, the best I have seen worldwide…..join us!’

If you are a serious dark chocolate lover, a serious salesperson, or both, call JJ Birden at 480.824.8318. The timing is perfect for building your Kansas City,Shawnee Mission or Grandview business selling a health food that tastes like gourmet candy.

Kansas City Opportunity in a Billion Dollar Industry

Posted on April 26, 2012 by jjbirden212

Kansas City Opportunity in a Billion Dollar Industry Kansas City triathletes, Shawnee Mission sleepy new moms, and Grandview over scheduled teenagers: A Healthy Energy Drink is now available in Missouri. The drink is called Xe and is produced by XoCai, the company that brought Antioxidant Chocolate to Mission health conscious chocolate aficionados.

Would you like to make money selling the first healthy chocolate energy drink? Text Kansas City Xocai distributor JJ Birden at 480.824.8318 or email jjbirden212@adampaulgreen.com. This is the next big thing! The energy drink market is a billion dollar industry that is projected to grow 67% in 2010! Start making money with the first health-enhancing energy beverage.

One can of XoCai Xe gives you nourishing energy that will sustain you throughout your day (or night). Xe helps tired Kansas City shiftworkers get through those graveyards feeling vigorous and alert. Xe is the ultimate energy drink for all the overworked and overstressed Mission walking zombies who are tired of caffeine surges and crashes.

Compare Xocai Xe to traditional energy drinks such as Red Bull, Rock Star, or Monster*.

Xe CONTAINS:
Theobromine, Maca, Ginseng, Yerba Maté, Quercetin, Guarana, Proprietary Antioxidant Blend, Açaí, Goji, Agave Nectar, Nisin and Natamycin.
Xe contains NO artificial flavors, colors, sweeteners, preservatives or refined sugars.

Xe DOESN’T CONTAIN:
Taurine; which can be toxic.
Refined Sugar; which causes dental decay (a no-brainer) and triggers the up-and-down jolt that can lead to addiction as users keep drinking more to get back to the pre-crash “high”.

I am an Xocai Xe distributor in Kansas City. I hold meetings at Fairfield and help others start their own XoCai businesses. I have been selling XoCai weight loss chocolate since March. Xe is opening a whole new Kansas City market for me: the thousands of daily energy drink consumers. Get your piece of the pie! Call me today at 480.824.8318.

-Good luck

Kansas City Kids and Bug Bite Dangers

Posted on April 25, 2012 by jjbirden212

Kansas City Kids and Bug Bite Dangers Healthy Kansas City kids love to play outdoors, but Missouri parents need to be aware of a potential danger: bug bites. The ability to tell a harmful bug bite from a benign one is essential to keeping your active Kansas City child safe.

Flea bites are common in Shawnee Mission, Grandview, and Overland Park. They appear as a rash on a child’s skin with individual raised spots that might have a puncture in the center. Kansas City children will usually complain of itchy skin if they have been bitten by fleas.

Bee and wasp stings, also common in the Mission area, can be differentiated by the number of stings. Bees only sting once, lose their stinger and then die, whereas wasps (as well as hornets and yellow jackets) can sting multiple times. Missouri homes often harbor wasp nests under the eaves.

The sting of a fire ant will usually cause Mission kids to have a red hive that may develop into a itchy, pus-filled lesion. Chiggers, which are tiny arachnids, cause multiple itchy red welts on kids’ skin. Check your local Kansas City drugstore for itch-relief products and watch the welts for signs of infection.

Ticks bites will cause an uncomfortable redness on your Mission child’s skin and may even swell. Since ticks can carry harmful diseases, you should contact your Kansas City area pediatrician if you child has had a tick bite.

My name is JJ Birden and children’s health is very important to me. I sell a fantastic nutritional product for Kansas City families. Call me at 480.824.8318 if you would like more information. Thanks for visiting my Kansas City children’s health blog!

Earth-Friendly and Hip-Friendly Chocolate Here In Kansas City?

Posted on April 17, 2012 by jjbirden212

Health Chocolate When it comes to eco-responsibility, many Shawnee Mission companies talk the talk, but do they really walk the walk? I can’t speak for all Mission health supplement businesses, but I can tell you about MXI, the makers of Xocai healthy chocolate.

The business practices of MXI are beneficial to both the people involved and the land which they inhabit. Cacao, the principal ingredient in Xocai antioxidant chocolate is 100 percent ethically traded. Xocai buys cacao beans from small family-owned farms in Ivory Coast. The cacao farmers earn a fair wage and work in humane conditions. Xocai cacao growers do not use agricultural pesticides and their farming practices are environmentally sustainable.

The other main natural ingredient used to make Xocai dark chocolate is the acai berry. MXI purchases freeze-dried acai berries from cooperative farms in the Amazon rainforest. The Acai Palm is a low-maintenance rainforest tree. Unfortunately, in the past few generations, many Acai Palms have been cut down to clear the land for cattle pastures. The recent increase in global acai demand is now promoting the preservation of the Acai Palm. Local farmers have started planting new Acai Palms on their property to increase their acai harvest. As MXI continues to purchase greater quantities of freeze-dried acai pulp, rainforest economies are reaping the benefits.

In summary, here are some additional reasons to enjoy Xocai:

  • Ivory Coast cacao growers expanding their farms and increasing their profits from health chocolate.
  • South America acai growers reversing deforestation while profiting from an indigenous, sustainable crop.
  • Xocai can provide a steady income stream for your household economy!
