Those of you who want to use beer or some other type of alcohol as your beverage should keep this important little fact in mind. The traditional size of a beer pong cup on beer pong tables holds 16 ounces. Multiply one third of that by six cups and you have about 30 ounces of alcohol, or roughly a pint. Make sure you’re not thinking that the vodka in your cups is a malt beverage or you’ll soon be on the floor. And forget about driving yourself home. Just like other times you drink alcohol, take a bus or a cab if one’s available.

Not everyone walks away in beer pong without a buzz if they choose to get drunk. The sober players can go until they have to run for a toilet. It’s fun game with endless moments of trick shots, bad calls, and sudden death matches to come. Beer pong is probably one of the most creative things drunken frat boys and college kids everywhere have come up with. Now go grab some drinks and clear off a table.

For many of the young professionals out there, they consider that health is one of the things that must be given priority. Thus many of them enroll into a gym, or attend other classes that can help them maintain their weight. In addition, many of these professionals have watched out for their diet thus many are already eating wheat breads due to the fact that it contains nutrients needed to be healthy. However, one cannot be assured that eating over the counter wheat bread is as healthy as eating home made breads.

For these young professionals, some even didn’t mind that because they always argue that they don’t have the time anymore. However, making home made breads are still possible with the Zojirushi Bread Machine because this machine is very easy to use thus making breads is very much easy as well, Now, a freshly baked bread everyday can be enjoyed.

A lot of people don’t know what flax seed meal is. Well another name for it is ground flax seed and it is simply whole flax seeds that have been ground down to a rough powder. Why bother you ask? Well when you buy flax seed meal or you grind flax seeds you unlock all the nutrients and make them available for your body to absorb them. If you don’t grind flax seed down then you will find they just pass straight through you and you will have just wasted your money. How do you grind it? Well you can buy special grinders for the job but if you have a coffee grinder, you will find that good enough.

When you are an entrepreneur solo or in a team there is a temptation as I have said before to overwork and to avoid doing the basics as your mind focusses totally on one project or skips from one to another to another.

We have talked about stopping and thinking but nutrition is also important. How many times do we hear the, “Oh I didn’t have time for lunch” mantra. Now here is Spain traditionally lunches have been long, drawn out and quite often boozy affairs accompanied by cigars and lots of coffee. This obviously doesn’t fit with modern entrepreneurial methods either because the temptation to have the famous Spanish siesta later becomes overwhelming.

A mid point is needed and in that mid point it is important to make sure that the fuel being put into your body will serve you well for the rest of the day. So what do you need to make sure you get into your body. As an ex sports therapist and nutritionist I tend to know implicitly but often don’t follow practically.

1) Fruit and Veg: If you can get your 5 a day then great. My target on a normal day are ten different varieties of fruit and vegetables. Here in Spain that is relatively easy if you are eating at home because of the huge variety available at all times of the year. In other countries it may not be so easy. I should imagine that the depths of winter in Russia may have slightly less choice.

2) Proteins: Make sure that your protein intake contains all of the amino acids to get the more complex proteins into your system even if you are vegetarian. Again, in Spain being a veggie is nigh on impossible if you are going to be eating out a lot and want to maintain a balanced diet. In other countries it is easier in this case.

3) Liquids: I don’t mean wines, spirits and beer although everything in moderation… To keep yourself alert and also stave off hunger pangs during the day make sure to always carry a bottle of water round with you, especially if the weather is hot. I go through around 4-5 litres just from bottles of water in the summer just to keep hydrated. Your energy level at the end of the day is much higher when you are well hydrated.

4) Sweets: Avoid if at all possible. When having the infamous Menu of the Day go for the fruit option even when the Cheesecake looks ever so much more appealing. Sweets will generally increase your blood sugar levels greatly then plummet you down in mid afternoon needing to eat again. Avoid this with management of your blood sugar levels. If you need to know more about how to do that just Google “Glycemic Index” or “Glycemic Load” and read about it.

5) Stimulants: Carbonated drinks, caffeinated coffee, large quantities of chocolate… They are addictions which are very difficult to overcome. Try to go cold turkey if you are addicted to Pepsi Max for example. It may have no sugar but the caffeine kick is still there.

So there you have it the basics of a decent way to eat. Obviously things are much more complex on the ground, you eat out and the accompanying vegetable in Spain may well be three chips, but try whenever you can to start with the mixed salad. From that you can already get quite a few of your 5 or 10 a day.
