Frank Yan of Sacramento on Eating Whats Healthy

While Frank Yan was visiting his local Sacramento Whole Foods supermarket, he decided to have is lunch by the cafe. At the cafe, Frank saw a nutrition magazine that caught his eye and he proceeded to skim through the pages. What Frank Yan found was an article about what healthy foods keep you full.

The article he read and learned was that many whole grain pasta salad, lentils and peas and all with a complex carb that can assist us feel full and lose weight. What also intrigued Frank was that beans, lentils, cold pasta, potatoes and barely ripe bananas, all have something in common. They are all filled brimming with types of fiber that goes through the stomach undigested and becomes fermented in the intestines. So what does this mean for our health we might ask? This process releases hormones that trigger the body to use stored fat for fuel. This fiber can take the edge off of our appetites, allowing us to be fuller for a lot longer.

Beyond helping us to losing the weight, a rich in fiber diet can diminish precancerous cells as well as reduce inflammation. So when Frank Yan is shopping at any of his local Sacramento supermarkets, he tries to choose more fibrous foods such as peas, yams, peas, barley, and chickpeas along with cooked and chilled foods sushi and whole grain pasta salad.

Frank Yan of Sacramento on Why Lottery Tickets Are Keeping You Poor

A few months back Frank overheard a conversation at the Sacramento International, while waiting for his flight, where two people were discussing their ultimate wish to win the California State lottery and thereby never have to ever work again. Sure, this is a great dream, but is it keeping them poor?

Frank thinks there are 2 quite different points to consider here:


1. The cost of those lottery tickets all adds up at the end of the year. For example, if you go out to your local Sacramento Supermarket and spend about $7 a week, a $1 per day on a ticket by the end of the year you would have spent $364. May not sound a lot. However, the opportunity cost, that is the cost in terms of the opportunity forgone, is actually higher since this money could have been saved, thereby earning interest or properly invested.


2. Most people out there who buy lottery tickets do not have a rich mindset at all. They crave all the riches without wanting to do anything for it, or they don’t believe in themselves or believe their own ability to produce any abundant wealth. In this sense, the lottery ticket can be seen as a financial “white flag” being raised across the board. A lottery win becomes their only chance of becoming rich.

Frank finished a book last month that was very relevant to the second point. Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill. Reflect on this title of the book for a moment…. Think and Grow Rich!! The secret of getting rich relates to peoples thinking. Rather than hoping for luck to make you rich, believe in your own ability to produce wealth. It can be done. Frank Yan bought this book from the Sacramento Barnes and Noble where he bagan his first chapter, prior to
purchasing.


Frank suggest that if you currently purchase lottery tickets on a daily basis, take a moment and do the following activity: Close your eyes and try to imagine yourself rich as a result of your own efforts. Was it easy or hard? If you had any problems Frank recommends you stop buying lottery tickets for the moment, and start working on your thoughts. Only when you have gained control over your mind and realize your own potential to make yourself rich do suggest you consider buying lottery tickets again.


So wait a minute…. Why did Frank Yan just say you can consider buying a lottery ticket again? Well, to directly answer the question posed in the title to this post: It is not the lottery ticket, in itself, that will keep you poor. Rather it is a poor mindset that will keep you poor.
