It's a passion and he seeks to expand his writing abilities through the act of writing as well as taking courses to improve his skills.

Mario is the channel manager in the diet and weight loss area of Helium. Weight loss is a major problem in today's society. Many struggle to lose weight but too often fail. But weight loss doesn't have to be difficult, though it does require some information and the willingness to stick to a plan by eating the right foods instead of the common junk too many consume today. At one time Mario was 210 pounds. Today he has lowered his weight to 160 pounds and has never gained it back. And a large part had to do with the foods that were making him overweight.

He currently lives and works in Ontario, Canada. He works as a security officer in Ottawa. He is an affiliate of SFI and MyWorldPlus.

His love of writing has lead to the publication of several of his articles to such sites as Helium, Suite 101,  Ehow, Constant Content and Fortitude. He also has a blog where you can read a number of articles at: mrmagica.wordpress.com

As he is diabetic, he has written two ebooks on diabetes, currently available for sale at Lulu.com.

He also dabbles in graphics having posted a number of his artworks on Zazzle, DeviantArt, Renderosity and Terranuts.

Ultimately he hopes to leave his current job and devote full time to writing, business and investing. He currently promotes a site that offers a free ecourse that helps consumers learn about the world of supplements. You can find out more here: http://marioca1.allinonehealth.com

7 of 17

In recent years, much has been said about eating healthier through consumption of organic foods. This is certainly a step in the right direction as most foods today come loaded with pesticides and chemicals and too often don't contain the same amount of nutrients that foods had a hundred years ago. Eating right is on the minds of many, from the senior to the parents who want to insure that their children get a healthy start on life by eating right and staying away from those convenience foods they too often find in the school cafeteria and the vending machines.
