Easy Way for Family and Friends to Learn About e-Alerts What do you say to a friend?
At one of the holiday parties I attended at the end of the year, I ran into a friend who told me all about a new diet he was about to embark on in 2005. But as I listened I had to bite my tongue. Based on the research I've done, I knew that my friend's new diet is probably not the healthiest one he could choose.
When this situation occurs, I'm never comfortable putting on my HSI Director hat (well, tiara, actually) and informing a friend of the ways a diet might be a bad choice, or how a certain supplement might address a pressing health issue, and so forth.
It's easy for me to share important health information with over 250,000 of you every day through this e-Alert, but it can be hard to talk about some of these topics with my friends or family (especially controversial or personal issues like dietary choices). Sometimes they just don't want to hear it and look at me like I'm a relentless "health nut." Other times, I may not even know what health problems they're facing. So while I could send information that would absolutely help them, I wouldn't necessarily know what to send.
So I take the easy way out. I usually just sign up everyone I know for the e-Alert and ask them to read it for a few weeks.
Our manager of e-Alert services has devised a way that you can do the same thing for your family and friends. Using the link below you'll be able to send a short note to anyone you think would benefit from getting the e-Alerts. (And don't worry, if they don't sign up, they'll never hear from us. In fact, using this method, we won't even know their e-mail address.)
So if you know someone you think should be getting the e- Alert, this is an easy way to send it without having to forward it every day - or risk becoming as relentless as I am. |
