5 Metabolism Busters over 40
I saw this on Dr. Oz show a couple weeks back and thought it was interesting to share with you.
Dr. Oz had Lisa Lynn (weight loss & metabolism expert) on his show and she talked about all of these supplements.
Do you take any of these supplements, and if so have you noticed a difference in how you feel? Inquiring minds want to know. Please share with us.
Sincerely,
Jennifer Martin
- Konjac Root Fiber
- Raspberry Keytones (burns fat)
- L-Carnitine (energy, utilizes fat, not stored) recommended 500 MG twice a day, take with Vitamin C. Enhances body to produce L-Carnitine naturally.
- Less exercise (2-3 x/week for 30 minutes)
- White Kidney Bean Extract (stops carbs so they can't be broken down into sugars) Which stops you from groing through the roller coaster of low & high blood sugar. Also blocks carbs from being absorbed. Take with meals.

The New Facebook Send Button - All You Need To Know
Facebook has announced the release of a new open graph tool, the “Send” button, which joins the “Like” button as a social utility across the web. Right on the heels of the 1 year anniversary of the “Like” button, which has been integrated into over 2.5 million websites to date, the “Send” button will enable sharing content from the web with specific sets of people.
What is the “Send” button?
The Send button is a social plugin that, like the “Like” button, websites can use to let users broadcast information they’re consuming on the web to their friends on Facebook. The “Send” button is different from the “Like” button in that “Send” enables private sharing. Where a user hitting the “Like” button within a website publishes a feed post of this activity to his entire list of friends via his public newsfeed, hitting “Send” will enable that user to instead choose the exact people he’d like to share the content with. This linked content can be sent via Facebook message, email, or posted right into a specific Facebook Group’s wall. This addition to open graph sharing abilities will enable greater private sharing and more social sharing among groups of friends. Facebook is already calling it “the easiest way to privately share things with groups and individuals.”
From Facebook:
The Send button is a social plugin that websites can use to let people send a link to a friend through Facebook Messages, post it to a Group, or email it to an individual. For example, if you see a Mother’s Day gift idea on 1-800-Flowers.com, you can now send a message or email to your family members to discuss. Or say you’re training for a marathon and you come across a great article about running shoes on The Huffington Post. Now you can share it with your entire running group in just one click.
How can Brands Use the “Send” Button?
We think that social media marketers will find the “Send” button a promising addition to the sharing functionalities of your brand website. Since visitors will now be able to target their sharing activity to specific people, instead of worrying about blasting their entire Facebook friends list each time they want to “Like” something on your site.
For businesses who use social media software, I think this can be an especially handy function for promotions, deals, discounts, and sales that are run. For example, if you’re running a group giveaway sweepstakes, where a group of 5 friends can enter to win an all-expenses-paid Spring Break getaway, the “Send” button can serve as a quick and easy way for visitors to invite the specific group of friends they need to rally to register to your promotion without worrying about attracting too much competition to the promotion if they posted it publicly to their newsfeed. The “Send” button also allows for greater targeting for the user. Where before the user may not have considered “Liking” a quiz about engagement rings from a jeweler’s website for fear of the impression it would create on her public newsfeed, she will be more likely to “Send” the amusing quiz to her close group of girlfriends instead.
Another important detail, from a Mashable post, is that the “Send” counts toward the total number of Likes a page has. The Like total is now calculated by adding the number of Likes, shares, comments and inbox messages containing a URL.
How will The Marketing & Health Connection integrate the new “Send” button?
The Marketing & Health Connection will integrate the new “Send” button as a standard sharing feature in our blogs and on our various websites (http://www.jenniferlmartin.net/). Then, users entering our sweepstakes and contests will be able to share these promotions easily with their friends, with one click of the “Send” button without leaving our promotion page.
Facebook is launching the “Send” button on 50 sites today, and promises to provide an easy way to share with small groups of people, giving marketers and business owners a new way to generate engagement and drive traffic to their websites.

Have you worked with the new "send" button yet? If so, how easy or difficult did you find it to work with?
Any suggestions or tips you would give on how you have integrated the send button on your website or blog?

The Big Four - Time Management allows Connecting and Engaging
I have been involved with social media for the past several years, web marketing for the past 10+ years, web site and graphic design for the past 15 years. When you own a business, whether small or big and in today's society you have to do social media marketing. But you ask yourself time and time again when am I going to have the time to post status updates, or comment on someone else's post? I just don't have the time to stay connected with my fans/potential clients. And I don't have the budget to hire a social media manager to do this for me.
I have learned a simple solution that I learned from Anita Crawford Clark and many other social media professionals that allows me to connect and engage with my peeps online, plus still have plenty of time to run my business.
Follow these simple steps:
THE BIG FOUR: - Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube
(consistently be on the different sites daily)
Create a list of four (4) social media platforms that you use most often, starting with the most important one at the top listed as #5 and count down to #1, as such:
5. Facebook - Five one minute activities
4. Twitter - Four one minute activities
3. LinkedIn - Three one minute activities
2. YouTube - Two one minute activities
1. Blog - One one minute activity
If you add all these up, = 15 minutes x 1 minute each = 15 minutes a day to do activities on all your social media platforms. 15 x 365 days a year = 5,475 activities. This is just a minimum formula. If you have more time to connect and engage each day, even five more minutes that is more connectivity you have with potential clients.
I find that HootSuite saves me a lot of time by having all my social media platforms in one program to monitor.
On each social media platform, this is what is most important to me to get the most out of my time:
Facebook - Look at the most recent newsfeed on your wall. Be sure you are seeing all your friends/connections feeds. To do so, at the top of your screen click on most recent>edit options>show posts from all your friends and pages>save. Scroll down on newsfeeds and read all if interested, "like", share a link and check your inbox messages and reply.
Twitter - Go to home, look @ mentions, reply, retweet, comment or send a direct message about topics pertaining to your industry. When you reply, you usually get an @mention and that goes out to all your followers feeds. If you like something, "favorite it". This allows you to go back to it when you have more time to read it. The goal with Twitter is you want to get "re-tweeted" and get @mentions. This is helping you spread footprints of your brand/name on the web.
LinkedIn - Go to home, look in newsfeeds, reply and/or comment, "like" any comments of interest, send direct messages to others in your network about any topic. Keep in mind LinkedIn is a "business-minded" forum and are connecting with other business professionals. On right side, look at "who's viewed your profile" click on link to keep abreast on who's interested in your page. Also be sure to "share an update" on your profile.
One other piece of advice - connect all your social media platforms (Facebook fan page, Twitter, etc to your LinkedIn account). Automation helps you save a lot of time.
YouTube - Go to home, scroll down and look to see who are new subscribers and friends. Click on their picture and thank them for connecting with you on their page. Also check your comments section and reply to each accordingly. Be sure to subscribe to any channels that pertain to your industry, request them as a friend and be sure to check mark notify me when videos are uploaded. Check your email inbox for those uploaded videos notifications and check them out. If they are educational and you find them worthy, save them to your favorites/add to playlist and add them to your channel.
Blog - Log into your blog and glance through articles to see if anyone has left comments. If so, respond accordingly. Posting articles, videos and how-to's to your blog at least 2-3 x week is vital to building your brand and another "free" resource to promote and market yourself. Be sure to put links to your blog in all your social media platforms. The key is to be fascinating, creative and figure out what is important to your target audience. Figure out what is the #1 problem for my customers/clients? What is the #1 reason that keeps them awake at night? I find it vital to put words of encouragement, inspirational and motivational in my blogs, and also in my Tweets (Twitter). Become seen as an expert in your field.
If you follow The Big Four plan each and everyday, you will find you have time for work and for play.
If you have another plan that works for you, I'd love to hear it. Please share it below in the comments section.
Have a fabulous day!
