Max's Healthy Tip of the Week:

If you're baking this season, be sure to include cinnamon as one of the ingredients - use it in both sweet and savory dishes because not only does it smell good,
 it's an extremely healthy spice.

 It's good for your blood, your heart, and your brain.  So make sure you add it to many recipes - your house will smell delicious and your body will appreciate it.

MARC WEISS TALKS ABOUT FINANCES
EXPERT FINANCIAL ADVICE FROM MARC WEISS 
CD Rates Got You Down?

It has been my experience that most CD owners are disappointed with the low rates that they are currently receiving. I checked today and the average interest rate for a six-month CD  is under 1%. In all my years as an advisor, these are some of the lowest rates on a CD that I have ever seen.

Recently, my clients have started to ask me more questions regarding their CDs, and when I ask them why they were in CDs in the first place the answer they give me is inevitably that they didn't know what else to do with the money. Many people invest in CDs because they feel that they are safe and secure. But are they?
 
READ MORE HERE  ABOUT CURRENT CD RATES

Please call Marc today so he can run you a personal comparison of your current CD against these alternatives-you will be amazed by how much money can be saved. This comparison is completely free, as part of his tax services to you this year, so please take advantage of it and let's help get you more than your current 1%!

PAIN IN YOUR UPPER BACK?  SHOULDERS?  LOWER BACK?
Have you tried a TENS unit?

TENS stands for transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation.  Many people are finding relief from certain types of pain using these small devices.  Instead of using painkilling medications, try using one of these alternative types of treatment.  And there are no side effects using a TENS unit as there are when taking medicine for pain.

And in some cases, the use of these devices could help to cut down on the use of excessive pain medication.  I personally have found amazing results using one of these units.

Go see Tal at Topanga Plaza on the lower level at his kiosk across from Victoria's Secret and try one of these pain relieving units.   You will be amazed how efficiently they will help to relieve some types of discomfort.
