The debate rages on with natural health supporters and practitioners who claim that natural breast feeding is much healthier for babies than commercially-produced formula. Aside from health benefits, researchers in Sweden believe that breast feeding may also lead to less stress in those who are fed that way as babies.
9,000 kids from the UK to -- all born in 1970 -- were observed to provide researchers with the conclusions they were looking for. All were given a "anxiety level" rating by their childhood teachers. Parents were also asked about major life events such as divorce that happened when kids were between the ages of 5 and 10.
Although some non-surprising results were found, there was one surprise: striking differences were found in stress levels between kids who had been breast-fed and those that had been bottle-fed. One is a natural nutrition source connected to a mother: the other is an artificial device that mimics the breast. Which would you prefer as a baby?
Is blogging hazardous to your health? Marshall Sponder of Web Metrics Guru says he sometimes blogs compulsively and I have to admit that I may have blogaholic tendencies. However, this is what I do for a living and I happen to love what I do.
Some may think I'm addicted to blogging, but I simply feel compelled to share my experiences and knowledge with others in hope that other people can learn from me. I feel no stress when I blog and I manage to write anywhere from 6-8 hours a day - give or take an hour...or two.
Blogging is just like any customer service job or work that you do, if you allow it to take over your life then it will stress you out. I think your customers/readers are
pretty forgiving if you don't happen to blog for a couple days or so.
Bloggers put too much pressure on themselves to come out with "breaking news" or fresh content. Trust me, there will always be news and enough content out there to keep your readers busy if you need a break!
I know that many of you who read this blog are bloggers too, so I'd love to know your thoughts on this. Have you or someone you know unsubscribed from a blog or didn't do business with someone because of the lack of posts
