Put 'Old' on Hold

Those in their 40's and 50's can live longer and feel better in their 60's and 70's by making six key changes now

(PRWEB) August 12, 2005

Barbara Morris, an anti-aging expert, pharmacist, and author of Put Old on Hold, says that with the right information and motivation, 40- and 50-year olds can enjoy an extra 25 years of the Âgood life.Â

Morris, 75, claims itÂs easy and offers some how-to advice that has worked for her:

Integrate the future into the present. At 40 and 50 people are concerned about work, kids, gray hair, weight gain, health issues, dependent parents, and not enough energy. While managing these concerns, be thinking ahead. Visualize your future. Know what you want your life to be like 25 years down the road.

Be your own best friend. That means being in control of your health. Find a traditionally trained physician with expertise in anti-aging medicine and nutrition to help you rethink your relationship with food and medicine. When you take charge of your health, you will love your life knowing you will function as a 40-year-old when you are 65.

DonÂt tell your age. When others know your exact age, you expose yourself to their biases, perceptions, and expectations for how someone Âyour ageÂ should conform to societyÂs norms. If you appear younger than you are, and your age is not known, you are less likely to hear Âact your ageÂ and other ageist remarks.

Avoid negative self-talk. You are what you say you are, so donÂt tell yourself you are getting old, or refer to yourself as an Âold broadÂ or Âold geezer.Â Negative self-talk isnÂt cute; it damages self-esteem and shuts down motivation for improvement.

Stay H. I.P. (Healthy, In control, and Powerful) by monitoring how you are changing. At 40 and 50, take an inventory of your youthful attributes (such as mental and physical strength and flexibility) that you want to keep. Work to maintain and improve what you have. ItÂs easier to keep what you have than to try to get back whatÂs lost.

Believe itÂs possible to Put Old on Hold. Remember when the most respected scientific minds in the universe decreed the earth was flat? Reject flat earth thinking about getting older. You can feel and function as an energetic, productive, full-of-life 40-year-old for an extra 25 years. ItÂs your call.

Anti-Cancer: Spice and Everything Nice

2011-07-11T19:32:00.000-07:00

Anti-Cancer: Spice and Everything Nice

The latest trend in cancer prevention mentions the health benefits of flavonoids.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 5, 2006

Renowned surgeon *Mehmet Oz*, MD had quite a number of appearances on The Oprah Winfrey show. In one particular episode, he presented actual healthy and damaged human organs to show what happens to the body when we continuously eat the wrong kind of food, smoke a pack of cigarettes deliriously, and drink liquor like there is no tomorrow. The results were diabolically life-altering. Hundreds of viewers testified that after watching Dr Oz briefly go from one organ to another, they shuddered in their seats and couldn't believe that those organs could as well be theirs. You could also check out the Discovery Health Channel hit, Second Opinion, and read his bestseller, You: The Owner's Manual. Whether he is on television or speaks through the pages of his books, he advocates a healthy and practical change in everyone. His medical methods and layman approach to disease, specifically cancer and cardiovascular ailments, have challenged people from all over the world to finally take the reins and be the boss of their own body. And the simplest way to gain control is to be mindful of what we eat and drink.

Nowadays, medical professionals are more focused on cancer prevention with the objective to fight the disease even before it starts. More and more people are diverting their attention to the importance of daily nutrition and the choices that they are making with regard to their lifestyle, such as quitting smoking and drinking alcohol in moderation. Most of these studies claim that the use of natural substances can actually help prevent the disease.

One of the most highly advertised anti-carcinogenic substances is lycopene, a member of the carotenoid family which includes beta-carotene and other compounds found naturally in food. It is commonly known as the pigment that gives tomatoes their red color. What some people don't know is that it is also a free radical-fighting antioxidant responsible for warding off damaging matter that disrupts normal cells and cause disease. It has also been proven to boost the immune system. It is shown to be better consumed when the tomatoes are cooked and mixed with a little healthy fat. For the sake of convenience, lycopene has also been made into a dietary supplement. However, studies show that taking it other than its natural form is not as effective as eating real tomatoes because it works better together with other phytochemicals found in the vegetable but not necessarily present in the pill. The combination of these bioactive compounds may be needed to provide optimum protection from cancer. This encourages people to eat tomatoes from pasta sauces, pastes, and freshly squeezed juices.

Capsaicin, the stuff found in chilly peppers that make them hot, could be the next line of defense in modern cancer prevention. Studies show that daily consumption of hot peppers may actually fight off some kinds of cancer. In certain parts of the world, cases of intestinal, stomach, and colon cancer are considerably low compared to the United States. Experts believe that the low cancer rate in South America, for instance, may be tied to their frequent intake of japaleno peppers and hot cayenne, both of which contain capsaicin.

The latest trend in cancer prevention mentions the health benefits of flavonoids. One can find a vast array of flavonoids in a diet composed of various fruits, vegetables, and spices. Flavonoids from citrus fruits such as oranges are said to have antioxidant polyphenols that contain anti-cancer elements. A number of studies also show that red wine and green tea drinkers have a low risk of esophageal, lung, and stomach cancers. Another good source of flavonoids is dark chocolate. Medical experts say that cocoa has a much greater amount of antioxidants compared to red wine and green tea and dark chocolate contains a lot more cocoa than other kinds of chocolate. The production of chocolate sometimes disrupts 50% of the flavonoids but manufacturing companies are now learning to make chocolate to retain as much of the good stuff as possible. While dark chocolate has its health benefits, consuming more than enough (around 1 oz a day) can also be dangerous. It may be packed with flavonoids that fight cancer but it still contains a significant amount of calories. Always remember that a balanced diet and a healthy exercise regimen are still the key to good health.

Revolutionary Weight Loss Phenomenon, Slide Into A Tiny Pair Of Slipppers - <a href="http://www. getslimslippers. com " onclick="linkClick(this. href)">www. getslimslippers. com </a>

Revolutionary Weight Loss Phenomenon, Slide Into A Tiny Pair Of Slipppers - www. getslimslippers. com

(PRWEB) December 10, 2001

www. getslimslippers. com

LOS ANGELES, CA -- 11/30/2001 -- This past November, Digicom-Matsu Industries of Los Angeles, brought to the worldÂs attention a revolutionary weight loss system that is literally turning the world on its heels. Seen and heard on

National TV, radio and newspapers around the world, the weight loss phenomenon met with resounding success as the heels of countless individuals began hanging out of tiny footwear everywhere. Digicom-Matsu Industries proudly

Acknowledges and thanks the media for their extraordinary interest, coverage and support. Acknowledgement goes to Fox 11 News, KFMB News Channels 8(CBS), 8WSVN-TV CH 7 (Fox);

KGTV-15 Cable (San Diego); WTOL-TV CH11 (CBS); WTTG-TV CH 5 (Fox); BBC Radio UK; AMOR FM, NY; WIRELESS FLASH News Services, National Examiner, FL and the Daily News Newspaper, NY, to name a few.

Reviewed as one of the most innovative and finest health inventions of the 21st century the tiny lippers are now available for anyone wishing to lose weight while gaining greater health benefits. Based upon the principles of

Reflexology, Magnet Therapy and Gravity, these incredible little slippers are now adorning the feet of men and women in all walks of life. Hailing from Japan, the slippers titled ÂGet Slim SlippersÂ are simple footwear worn for at least 15

Minutes a day and no longer than 2.5 hours while walking.

Astonishing and unlikely as it may appear, phenomenal results and testimonials are being reported from far and wide.

Ms. Megan McCarver, megan@yogaeverywhere. com, Certified Yoga Instructor and founder of www. yogaeverywhere. com reports, "My friend introduced me to a new product called ÂGet Slim

Slippers.Â Wearing them only 15 minutes a day has toned me from the inside out, causing me to shed inches as well as weight! I highly recommend them. Affordable, practical and authentic!"

From Ms. Johnella Ellis, CA, JohnellaE@aol. com, "I recently purchased a pair of Get Slim Slippers, and already I am seeing results. I've tried various gyms, diets etc., but this is the first time I noticed results so quickly! I have worn the Slippers for three weeks and lost 7-Â½ lbs. I've also tightened up areas where I have lost weight and have more energy. I will continue to wear my Get Slim Slippers, and I

Want to thank you for inventing something that actually works! I'm still losing weight and feeling great!"

ÂGet Slim SlippersÂ are definitely a shoe-in for the coming winter season. Not only do the slippers naturally curb your appetite but additionally the fun in wearing the slippers

Stimulates the endorphin flow through the body which is excellent for greater health. Other added benefits include the strategic stimulation to the reflex zones and acupuncture

Meridians responsible for the entire abdominal cavity so critical for metabolic stimulation. In addition, the structural foot placement aligns posture, taking pressure off of the spinal column, which potentially relieves typical low

Back pain, as well as correcting shoulder and neck distress.

Mrs. Huddadov, Department Head of the Medi-Ssin Center of Reflexology in Israel states, ÂThe tiny and powerful slippers, designed and worn with a third of the foot remaining outside the slipper, forces the wearer into a somewhat different yet better posture. Sloping downward with the gravitational force of the earth these magical foot covers are much more than just a mere slipper. When the body is structurally aligned, the internal organs rest more comfortably within the cavities encouraging greater absorption of nutrition and diminishing the need or craving

For food as compensation. Studies taken from Reflexology, Acu-Point Channels and various Chinese Medicines reveal that stimulation to the feet greatly increases the life span by

Helping to balance the body.

Best of all, ÂGet Slim SlippersÂ requires no diet, no need for medication and no requirement of endless exercise. The 6 powerful magnets located near the surface of the slippers do

The work. While walking, the nerve endings in the soles of the feet are stimulated thereby increasing blood circulation.

This effect speeds up the metabolism while improving digestion and elimination. The process of ÂGet Slim SlippersÂ almost effortlessly helps one reshape the body, get slimmer naturally and improves health all at the same time.

While Western medicine focuses primarily on symptom relief, Eastern medicine centers its attention on correcting the source of the health problem. For every organ in the body there is a corresponding area on the soles of the feet. The

Precisely designed no heel slipper, which at first appears somewhat peculiar because of its tiny size, stimulates the sole of the foot, thus activating the nerves responsible for digestion and eating habits. Wearers of the slippers have

Reported improvement with lower back pain, better

Elimination, improved digestion, an increase in energy, better blood circulation and weight loss and inches. Further explanations specify that magnets, which are positioned judiciously within the slipper in combination with the no heel design, act to apply pressure on the arches, thereby increasing the metabolism naturally. Experiencing a very slight discomfort when first wearing the slippers, the discomfort is gone within two or three days. Immediately following are further changes in energy, eating behaviors and ultimately true weight loss, not merely water loss, but real pounds and inches. ÂGet Slim SlippersÂ help people feel good about themselves, paving the way for better health through

Weight loss. Within two to four weeks the wearer begins experiencing a pleasurable effect as a slimmer and healthier self becomes obviously apparent.

Finally Released To The Public: Former Paid, Client Only, Natural And Alternative Health Newsletter Celebrates Health Food, News, Nutrition, Fitness And Every Free Newsletter Subscription Features At Least One Smoothie Or Juice Recipe

CINCINNATI, OH. December 2 -- Health conscious business owner makes the decision to expand reach and share his healthy message in newly released, exclusive, free newsletter featuring select content, and real world experience not found on the pages of any book, or magazine.

(PRWEB) December 5, 2003

Frustrated by customers who have become overwhelmed by the hairball of misinformation in the marketplace, Robert Watson, has launched The Juicing Journal a now, free newsletter that eliminates the unnecessary chore and legwork of finding the truth that so often eludes the majority.

Mr. Watson does admit that his publication is not for everybody however, "If you are interested in sweeping generalizations and recommendations as obvious as the nose on your face, we ask people not to subscribe. My business clients have affectionately given me a nickname that sums up my ability to get to the point and find the truth quicker than most. I am very adamant about my views and sometimes people just aren't ready to hear them. It is the way that I am wired; I am a consumer too, who has been mislead, fooled, and taken too many times to count. Those days are over."

Frustrated by people who sell similar items, but lack the knowledge or experience to deliver more than just a low price or free shipping, Watson has created a website that only endorses what he personally uses in his own healthy lifestyle.

Oldways Issues Call to Industry to Band Together To Change the Way America Eats

2011-07-07T21:33:00.000-07:00

Oldways Issues Call to Industry to Band Together To Change the Way America Eats

Bringing Dietary Guidelines To the Table

Boston (PRWEB) June 18, 2010

Internationally recognized Oldways (http://www. oldwayspt. org), the non-profit consumer advocacy group known for changing the way people eat, is issuing a call to nutrition groups, companies and individuals to band together to make the new Dietary Guidelines for Americans (http://www. cnpp. usda. gov/dietaryguidelines. htm) - and their underlying health benefits - a reality.

This urgent call to action is a response to the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee (DGAC)'s report released yesterday which offers a "sneak preview" to content expected later this year in the actual 2010 Dietary Guidelines.

"These new guidelines are not a yawn -- they are revolutionary but only if we all join together to change the way people eat," said Sara Baer-Sinnott, President of Oldways. "We are inviting partners to come to the table to help us encourage Americans, once and for all, to shift their approach to food from large portions and mindless eating to one that celebrates delicious, healthy, simple foods."

Oldways is looking for partners who believe in three key elements at the center of this important initiative:

1) Healthy Eating Can Be Delicious - For too long, eating healthy has been equated with deprivation and scolding. Now, with its call to "improve cooking skills" and "value preparing and enjoying healthy food" the DGAC Report lays the groundwork for a new attitude and approach that Oldways has for many years fondly called "the Pleasures of the Table."

2) Working with Industry is Essential - "Change is needed in the food environment," says the DGAC Report. "The food industry will need to act to help Americans achieve these goals." Oldways has a long history, through programs like its Whole Grains Council (http://www. wholegrainscouncil. org) and Mediterranean Foods Alliance (http://www. mediterraneanmark. org), of organizing creative initiatives that motivate industry to introduce healthier products, and plans to build on this successful model in support of the new Guidelines.

3) Total Diet is Important - In the early 90s, Oldways created the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid to popularize a proven approach to healthy, delicious eating - a total approach to diet, comprised of a wide variety of healthy foods and drinks. Now the DGAC Report has added a key chapter on Total Diet, and cited the Med Diet specifically as one of the two most scientifically-established ways to live a long and healthy life. Oldways' expertise in healthy traditional foodways around the world can make a key contribution to the new Guidelines.

Anyone -- from individuals with an interest in nutrition to corporations and organizations committed to making a difference -- can show their support by taking the Three Point Pledge (http://www. oldwayspt. org/take-three-point-pledge). From there, Oldways will rally supporters to prepare for the Guidelines release later this year.

First published in 1980, the Dietary Guidelines are updated and released by the USDA and HHS every five years. Because they serve as the foundation for virtually all nutrition programs, both public and private, the Dietary Guidelines have the potential to make an enormous impact on Americans' health.

Please contact Alison Clancy (aclancy(at)oldwayspt(dot)org or 617-896-4888) for more information, including hi-res graphics, high res photos of dishes or to schedule an interview about this initiative or about any aspect of the DGAC report.

About Oldways
Oldways (http://www. oldwayspt. org/) is an internationally-respected non-profit, changing the way people eat through positive and practical programs grounded in science and tradition. It is the parent organization for The Whole Grains Council and The Mediterranean Foods Alliance, and is well-known for creating the Whole Grain Stamp and the Mediterranean Diet Pyramid.

Pick Up The Pace Opens Another Location

The Homedale location will be the fourth Pick Up The Pace gym in Idaho and the eighth in the nation.

Homedale, ID (PRWEB) September 16, 2005

Kathy Watson, Theresa Troxel and Tami Steinmetz, long-time local residents of Homedale and Idaho natives, are excited to announce that they are bringing fitness and fun to Homedale. The three women, who are all related, have recently opened a Pick Up The Pace 30-Minute Workout for Women center in Homedale.

Located at 2 West Owyhee Avenue, Pick Up The Pace will offer a refuge where women can get away from it all and get a total-body workout in only a half-hour. ÂWomen have such a hard time getting away to do something for themselvesÂ Kathy said. ÂWhat weÂre doing is offering a one-stop location where women have a place for the kids to play while they really pamper themselves.Â

The amenities that Pick Up The Pace of Homedale offers include circuit-training with adjustable resistance, a free childrenÂs play area, nutritional products, tanning, body wraps, nutrition counseling and a fun, exciting environment.

ÂPhysical fitness is a concern, and women need a common-sense exercise and weight-loss planÂ said Tami. ÂPick Up The Pace can be the answer.

Clinton, MI (Vocus) March 11, 2009

The annual Selling Wellness Trailblazer Awards began in 2006 to recognize "Offerings with the most potential to be big sellers in their respective categories within conventional retail," writes Suzanne Vita Palazzo, Selling Wellness editor.

2009's wellness offerings were introduced at the Natural Products Expo East convention in Boston, Massachusetts in October. Grocery Headquarters judged products in 19 categories based on taste profile, packaging, and intrinsic health benefit. Whole grain EDEN Organic Red Quinoa was selected as the winner in the "Grains" category as a "healthy alternative to traditional grain offerings."

EDEN Organic Red Quinoa is the rare pasankalla variety, family plot organically grown on Bolivia's Andean Plateau at over 12,000 feet. Quinoa has the most complete amino acid profile of all grains, is rich in magnesium and folate B9, and is a good source of iron, thiamin B1, and riboflavin B2. It is an excellent source of fiber and a good source of protein. Quinoa is a delicious alternative whole grain and cooks light and fluffy in less than 15 minutes.

We're Not Getting Enough and it's Killing America

We're Not Getting Enough and it's Killing America

Omega Health Benefits exists to provide people with beneficial, up to date information on Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. Nearly all of American are not getting enough Omega 3 and it is causing a major health crisis.

Quad Cities, IL (PRWEB) December 31, 2004

Omega Health Benefits exists to provide people with beneficial, up to date information on Omega 3 and Omega 6 fatty acids. We are located in the Quad Cities, Illinois and our aim is to help people around the country understand the vital role Omega fatty acids play in their lives. It has become apparent to me, as I have practiced Chiropractic for over 5 years, that approximately 80% of the patients I treat do not understand nutrition nor do they know how to make healthy choices regarding supplementation. The rise in degenerative and debilitating disease in North America is cause for alarm and reflects this lack of knowledge. Our site is considered a place of education where people can get the facts in everyday terms enabling them to make choices that will affect the way they live out the rest of their lives.

Omega Health Benefits was established in August 2004. As a Doctor I found that many of my patients had nutritional questions about their supplements and about the benefits of omega products. With my back ground in nutrition I was able to give them the answers they had long been looking for and as a result our office staff collaborated to found Omega Health Benefits. We gathered the latest information on OmegaÂs and compiled this information into a web site that would make it simple and easy for people to get their questions and concerns answered. www. omega-3-and-omega-6-oils-health-benefits. com. We also researched many companies and products to find a quality, standardized Omega supplement, in a form that was convenient for consumers. We are always updating the information contained on our site to reflect the latest scientific, data.

Â· Degenerative diseases are on the rise and they strike where least expected. We canÂt know for sure who might get AlzheimerÂs and who might get heart disease. Scientists however are discovering that Omega 3 fatty acids play a major role in defending the body against disease.

Â· Omega 3 fatty acids have been found to positively effect peopleÂs health. They can reduce the risk of a heart attack; they can prevent the flu by strengthening the immune system. They can even turn back the aging clock for our skin - less wrinkles. This powerful resource is found in nature and we are not getting enough.

Â· We believe that if you give people the right tools, that is the most current and correct information available, then theyÂll be able to make positive choices that will allow them to dance at their grand kids wedding or take that long awaited trip after retirement.

Our site is helping many people understand the important world of omega health and we look forward to the future years ahead. It is our goal to get the message of health through omega nutrition out to the wider public so that those seeking better health can find it conveniently and reliably.

Thank you for your consideration.

Dr. Rob Scranton D. C.

The Top 7 Secrets for Home-Based Business Success

2011-06-29T04:31:00.000-07:00

The Top 7 Secrets for Home-Based Business Success

Want to take your business to the next level? Direct sales expert Pat Pearson reveals the 7 most valuable things home-based entrepreneurs should do.

Newport Coast, CA (PRWEB) March 25, 2008

Many home-based business owners, while passionate about the product they market, still struggle to increase sales, grow their downlines and find the right work-life balance in their lives. According to internationally-recognized motivational speaker Pat Pearson, these seven success secrets can make the difference between floundering and flourishing:

1. Motivation - What keeps you motivated? Motivation represents a delicate balance between the push of discomfort and the pull of hope. Too much of either can be discouraging, so find the balance that works for you.

2. Overcoming Challenges - Overcoming adversity in business requires resilience--the ability to bounce back quickly. How can you do this? First, decide to change. Second, commit to doing things differently. Third, honor your process as you deal with the challenge. Lastly, learn from your struggles and note what you can do better next time.

3. Stop the Self-Sabotage - Most of us say we want greater success, better health or more loving relationships, but our unconscious limiting beliefs keep us from having those very things. In essence, we "snatch defeat from the jaws of victory." Learn the skills to eliminate these self-defeating barriers.

4. Think Abundantly - Quite simply, this means changing your focus from scarcity to abundance by aiming your thoughts toward what you want rather than on what you don't want. Then, expect that the desired results will be yours.

5. Self-Esteem and Self-Confidence - Self-esteem is unconditional loving and appreciation of yourself for who you are, for "being" you. Self-confidence is conditional acknowledgment for performing, for "doing" something well, such as earning a sales bonus. Both are required to feel that you deserve the very best.

6. Work Smarter, Not Harder - You've no doubt heard this one before, and for good reason. We can all learn to do better in less time. The secret to working smarter is to do what you love and are good at, then delegate the rest. Remember to break large goals down into small bites...and have fun!

7. Recruiting Magic - Gain an understanding of the four cycles of change--Go For It, Doldrums, Cocooning, Getting Ready--and how they affect your ability to recruit. Also consider, what is the gift your business has given you? Your efforts will be most effective when you start with gratitude and approach recruitment as a gift that you are offering to someone else.

Whether your business is skin care, nutrition or fashion, these insider tips are sure to bring you all the success you can handle--if you follow them. More information on Pat Pearson's approach can be found at www. PatPearson. com.

Mega H40, A Vegetarian Capsule Supplement, Is Now Available in Singapore

2011-06-28T20:17:00.000-07:00

Mega H40, A Vegetarian Capsule Supplement, Is Now Available in Singapore

With a unique combination of 12 vitamins and minerals such as Calcium, Iron and Zinc, Mega H40 enhances good health and growth as well as energises the body.

Singapore (PRWEB) August 30, 2006

DANNHAUSER Energize Life, a distributor and retailer of health food supplements, today announced that an essential food supplement to enhance good health and growth is now available in the Singapore market.

Mega H40 is a food supplement that contains 17 nutrients, 12 vitamins and a wide range of minerals. Although it was previously sold as a gelatine soft gel capsule, Mega H40 is now available in Singapore as a vegetarian capsule, making it suitable for vegans and Muslim consumers as well.

What makes Mega H40 different from other food supplements is the wide range of exotic nutrients that is contained in one single capsule. The nutrients DL-Methionine, L-Lysine, Para Amino Benzoic Acid, Choline, Inositol, Rutin powder, Kelp, Royal Jelly, Damiana, Selenium, Siberian Ginseng, Bee Pollen, Betaine, Ginkgo Biloba, Natural beta Carotene, Molybdenum, Garlic oil, and Biotin Pure, all aim to provide the consumer with completeness, variety and moderation.

L-Lysine, for example, is an essential Amino Acid, which cannot be made by the body, but is vital for maintaining growth, tissue repair and energy. Ginkgo Biloba regulates the tone and elasticity of blood vessels, and increases blood flow to the brain and extremities. Siberian Ginseng, a species of Ginseng that has been used by the Chinese for 5000 years, energises the body. Such exotic nutrients are combined with vitamins and minerals in a single capsule to provide the essential nutrients that the body needs for the day, without causing stress to the organs.

Some of the vitamins included in the capsule are Vitamin A, D, B1 (Thiamin), B2, B6, B12, C and E. These vitamins provide proper nutrition and improve one’s health and immunity. Vitamin A, for example, is essential for health of eyes and structure of the skin. Vitamin D, on the other hand, helps the correct formation of bones and teeth. Thiamin, or Vitamin B1, is crucial in the conversion of carbohydrates into energy and it also enhances the health of the nervous systems in the body. Some of the essential minerals that are used include Calcium, Iron, Potassium and Zinc. The minerals in Mega H40 aid digestion, heart regularity, and ensure that the central nervous system functions well.

Available at independent healthcare stores at the retail price of S$30 (30 capsules), Mega H40 enhances good health and growth, aids indigestion and alertness of mind, as well as maintains the human body’s vitality.

Lach Day and Mega H40

Lach Day, Director and CFO of Dannhauser Energize Life, has been using Mega H40 for more than 20 years now and is its exclusive importer for Asia.

In 1984, Mrs. Day arrived in the United Kingdom with her college acceptance letter, GBP 3000.00 and her aspirations. Working to support herself and her education meant long hours, stress, loneliness and consequently depression. With money being short, food was a secondary concern after rent, utilities and tuition fees.

“I knew that I could not afford to fall ill during my studies in the United Kingdom. As a complete balanced diet was extremely difficult to come by on my budget, I had to look for a supplement that was affordable, convenient and most importantly, complete in terms of Vitamins, Minerals and Nutrients,” Mrs. Day said. “It was then that I discovered Mega H40, a supplement I have used daily ever since. Mega H40 helped me feel energized in doing my daily routine and nourished my body” she added.

The supplement also saw Mrs. Day through a difficult medical history and IVF treatments.

Three children and two guardians died during famine period at the Ugunja Orphans Care Unit in Kenya

2011-06-28T03:33:00.000-07:00

Three children and two guardians died during famine period at the Ugunja Orphans Care Unit in Kenya.

The Ugunja Orphans Care Unit announced the deaths of three children during the month of June, near the end of a harsh seasonal famine. Two of these orphans died of malnutrition (kwashiorkor and marasmus) and one of typhoid. In addition, two guardians died.

Ugunja, Kenya (PRWEB) July 7, 2004

"It has been a very difficult time," said Care Unit director Charles Kawuor about the recent months of hunger and sickness between the depletion of food stores and the next harvest. "The most dangerous time for us is February to July."

These are the names of the children who died:

Lawrence Ochieng was eight years old. He attended Sires Primary School, first grade. He was the only remaining member of his original family, his parents and then his brother having previously passed away. His ambition was to be a pilot when he grew up.

Lilian Akinyi was 11 years old and going to Ambira primary school. Her father, Joseph Dola, died in 2001, and her mother passed away in 2002. They were peasant farmers. Lilian was the first born in the family of three girls. She planned to be a teacher.

Domnic Ochieng was 13 years old, a fifth grader in Nyasanda Primary School. His parents, Vitalice Onyango and Selline Anyango, died in 1998. He was the seventh born in the family of four boys and four girls. His goal was to be a teacher. His favorite hobby was football (soccer).

Peter Okoth and Evelyn Kombe were the guardians who passed away. The Care Unit's orphans live with the families of volunteer guardians in the community. Most of these families are subsistence farmers and depend on rainfall, which limits the growing seasons. When food stores from harvests are depleted, there is little money to purchase retail goods.

"Last month we lost two good guardians who were very instrumental in protecting the rights of an orphaned child," said director Kawuor. "We still struggle with the loss, just as we are mourning the three orphans. We also struggle with placement of those orphans left by the deaths of the guardians."

Harvests of the first crop, beans, are now beginning, and corn will follow a few weeks later. Without more outside assistance, however, hunger will return to the orphans within months. Besides food, funding for medical needs, educational fees, and transportation are needed.

The Ugunja Orphans Care Unit is a non-profit, all-volunteer Kenya community organization which helps to provide orphans with homes, food, medical care, educational needs, and counseling. It cares primarily for children whose parents have died from AIDS.

3GSM Congress: Bupuppies: A Virtual Pet is Born

2011-06-26T05:26:00.000-07:00

3GSM Congress: Bupuppies: A Virtual Pet is Born

Virtual interactive game for mobile phones. Already available in English, Chinese, Spanish, French and Italian. International launch will take place at the 3GSM World Congress in Barcelona.

Lagrangeville, NY (PRWEB) January 27, 2006

Bupuppies is the name of a new bred of virtual pet, created by the Spanish company Kitmaker, with credited experience as creators of games for mobile telephones.

It's an interactive application that is, as well, didactic, though this fact doesn't make it lose an inch of its irreverent and amusing

Character. The pet is aimed for the youngest users, though its advanced possibilities will, for sure, attract adults. These virtual

Animals will live and grow in the hi-tech cell phones where they, as any other pet, will show a full range of emotions and needs.

The pet, that has been created thanks to the JAVA technology, also allows the pets to be in communication with each others, thanks to Bluetooth, and will be available for the most popular brands of cell phones.

What is really unique about Bupuppies is the amount of actions and activities that this pet does and the way the owner plays a very

Active role in order to, for example, to help it to study or find the necessary food it needs, "catching" them with the phone's camera.

Like any other pet, the Bupuppies have daily needs that must be attended to, like nutrition and hygiene as well as studies and leisure. The player will know in real time which is the situation and act according to the needs of any given moment. If the Bupuppy doesn't eat it will get sick and if it doesn't' play or communicate with its family the level of happiness will decrease dangerously. We have tried to reach the maximum reality and every action will have

A direct effect on the pet - says Alejandro Cabedo Agulleiro, Kitmaker's marketing director.

The pre-launch of Bupuppies, - that is already available in five languages - English, Spanish, Chinese, French and Italian-, is a success and the international launch will take place at the 3GSM World Congress that is held in Barcelona next month, 13th to 16th of February.

Kitmaker started making games for cell phones 2004 and is a well known brand thanks to games like "Mine Field" or "Skeet Shooting",

Among other applications.

An Exciting New Candidate Throws Her Cap into the Presidential Ring : I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!(R) Spray Launches Spraychel for President' Online Campaign; Webisode Viewers Who Vote Could Win the President's Salary!

Many voters, weary of the long, drawn-out presidential race, will be happy to hear there's a new candidate in town ready to get things cooking again - and give away the president's salary to a lucky supporter! Spraychel, the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!(R) Spray, is running for president of the fridge in a new online animated series beginning today at www. VoteSpraychel. com. Spraychel is setting her sights on victory, but it's the viewers taking action to get her elected who could win big - by entering a $400,000 presidential salary sweepstakes!

ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N. J. (PRWEB) June 23, 2008

The campaign features the star power of Extra's Mark McGrath, who lends his voice to play Mr. More, Spraychel's big brother and campaign manager. The webisodes follow Spraychel as she campaigns on a platform of progress. "We've come a long way, and a vote for me means electing to enjoy zero calories and zero fat per serving, along with great butter taste," said Spraychel. "I'm ready to cut through the fat and put aside greasy politics to give the constituents what they're hungry for!"

Spraychel's opponent, Maxwell Butterman, stands for the old-fashioned ways of eating. Backing Butterman are Spraychel's arch-nemesis, Buttricia, and their spineless aide, Ross Perogi. Spraychel is intent on spraying her message far and wide on the trail with Mr. More.

"Spraychel's presidential bid gets my whole-hearted support," said McGrath, co-host of the syndicated TV show Extra. "Her passion for progress just can't stay bottled up, and I'm excited to help her bring something great to the table."

"Spraychel for President" launches online in six weekly episodes from June 23 through "Election Day" on July 27.

USA Judo and Maximized Living Sign for Top Athletic Performance

Maximized Living has teamed with USA Judo to deliver a holistic, whole-athlete approach to wellness that incorporates chiropractic principles, balanced nutrition, mental preparedness and exercise programs for building strength, speed and endurance on the mat.

US Olympic Training Center, Colorado Springs, CO (PRWEB) October 24, 2009

Maximized Living (http://www. maximizedlivingchiropractic. com/) has teamed with USA Judo (http://www. usjudo. org/) to deliver a holistic, whole-athlete approach to wellness that incorporates chiropractic principles, balanced nutrition, mental preparedness and exercise programs for building strength, speed and endurance on the mat.

"At USA Judo we're constantly looking for innovative, pro-active approaches to train for top performance and that's what Maximized Living provides in health care," said Jose Rodriguez, chief executive officer of the nation's governing body for the sport of judo and judo's U. S. Olympic team.

USA Judo and Maximized Living have selected an elite group of specialized doctors skilled in working with world class athletes from its network of more than a thousand affiliated health experts nationwide. These ML Doctors will work closely with USA Judo's sports medicine staff at national training events, camps and competitions.

With this agreement, Maximized Living becomes the Official Wellness and Chiropractic Partner for USA Judo. Also, USA Judo joins the Wellness Advisory Council, recently established by USA Wrestling and Maximized Living, exclusively for Maximized Living certified doctors to provide chiropractic, nutrition and comprehensive wellness programs to these elite athletes.

"We're very excited to be part of USA Judo's performance team," said Ben Lerner, a former all-American wrestler and founder of Maximized Living. "Any athlete competing in a high impact sport needs wellness, including chiropractic care, so Judo is a great fit for what the Maximized Living Wellness Advisory Council is all about."

"What makes this an even greater opportunity for us is that Judo is more than just a sport - it's also a time honored tradition, an art, and an activity that improves body, mind, and spirit," Lerner said. "We're very committed to helping our USA Judo athletes compete at the highest level, sustain far fewer injuries, recover faster, and win more medals."

Florida-based Maximized Living provides programs and certifications on their "Five Essentials": chiropractic care to maximize nerve flow; nutrition; detoxification; exercise; and mental wellness.

"This is about making our athletes stronger and faster," Rodriguez said. "This is about giving them the stamina and strength to last longer on the mat and perform at their pinnacle over more seasons."

"In addition to working with USA Judo's world class athletes, we are committed to supporting grass roots efforts in getting our youth and parents engaged in both the sport and the principles of lifelong wellness," said Maximized Living President Shel Hart (http://www. linkedin. com/pub/shel-hart-shart-maximizedliving-com/2/189/b14). "Maximized Living's comprehensive Wellness Program and network of North American Doctors combined with the discipline and physical/mental conditioning through USA Judo are a winning formula."

MyStudentBody® Stress offers an interactive online experience which functions as a brief motivational intervention, to help college students learn better time management and coping skills, and recognize situations that may require professional attention. The built-in myStudentBody® Stress Data Reports companion website provides fully customizable reports and real-time aggregate data that help campus administrators and health professionals plan successful health initiatives and monitor program outcomes. myStudentBody® Stress earned a bronze medal at the Spring/Summer 2005 World Wide Web Health Awards, organized by the Health Information Research Center. Award recipients were chosen on the basis of accuracy, success in reaching the targeted audience, and overall quality.

Developed with support from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), myStudentBody® Stress was recently tested for efficacy and user satisfaction at six 4-year institutions nationally. Preliminary results appear to show significant increases in the practice of healthy behaviors, such as regular exercise and the use of relaxation or meditation techniques.

Special introductory pricing for new myStudentBody® Stress subscriptions is available through 2005. For more information or to request a free guest pass, please visit: http://www. mystudentbody. com/ABOUT/promo. asp? source=introPR (http://www. mystudentbody. com/ABOUT/promo. asp? source=introPR)

Sunrise, FL (PRWEB) April 23, 2008

Kimberly Marin, AP, RD, a local alternative healthcare professional, has improved healthcare services through the use of the latest biotechnology from ZYTO Corp.

ZYTO Corp. provides the technology that is used by a rapidly growing number of healthcare practitioners who say it enables them to make better clinical decisions, and helps them to serve more people in a shorter period of time.

"The use of ZYTO technology has made it easier for me to assist more people in my practice, and more accurately determine how to help them on the road to better health," explained Marin, who is offering free demonstrations of the biotechnology to the media.

Marin has a b. s. in nutrition and dietetics from Florida International University, and received an m. s. in oriental medicine from the Atlantic Institute of Oriental Medicine.

Get Paid To Drink Coffee

Get Paid To Drink Coffee

Cupofmoney. com has just launched a new program in North America that pays consumers to drink coffee. This puts a new spin on the concept of a coffee break. Coffee is currently the second largest commodity on the stock exchange and Cupofmoney. com markets the world's first healthy coffee.

(PRWEB) April 21, 2006

Cupofmoney. com announced today, that they have launched a new program that pays consumers across North America to drink coffee. This puts a new spin on the concept of a coffee break.

"There's never been anything like this" stated Darren Little, founder of Cupofmoney. com. "It's a first. Imagine getting paid everytime you or someone you knew drank a cup of coffee. In North America alone over 500 million cups of coffee are consumed daily. Think of what that means to the average coffee drinker!"

Cupofmoney. com markets a variety of products which contain the life changing, life enhancing ingredient Ganoderma Lucidum, including the world's first healthy coffee. Ganoderma is known as 'the miraculous king of herbs' and provides an extensive list of health benefits including increased energy and vigor. Ganoderma has history dating back in the Oriental culture for over 4,000 years and is more powerful than Ginseng. Visit www. cupofmoney. com for details.

Little says there are currently over 2 million people consuming these healthy beverages in 28 countries, and the beverages are brand new to the North American market.

Many Doctors and Health Practitioners are switching their patients from regular caffeinated coffee, to this new healthy coffee because of the documented health benefits of Ganoderma Lucidum. Gano Café helps the body fight disease the way nature intended and helps balance the body's PH. Ganoderma Lucidum is said to help enhance health by removing toxins from the body and then building up the body's immune system. For research articles on Ganoderma Lucidum, visit http://scholar. google. com (http://scholar. google. com) or www. pubmed. com and type in Ganoderma.

A typical cup of coffee contains approximately 138 mg of caffeine. The unique blend of ganoderma in this product neutralizes the caffeine dramatically to only 9 mg per cup, but still provides that "lift" and boost in energy that coffee drinkers are looking for, but without the caffeine jitters. Visit www. cupofmoney. com for details.

Cupofmoney. com provides online ordering and direct to door delivery for their entire line of products. Their flagship products are mocha, classic, 3 in 1, tea, and hot chocolate. In addition, the company carries a line of nutraceuticals and health and beauty products all containing Ganoderma Lucidum.

Here are some coffee industry facts:

Coffee is the second largest commodity in the world - next to oil. Starbucks buys over 100 million pounds of coffee each year. 2.4 billion pounds of coffee are sold per year in the United States. The United States is the world's largest consumer of coffee. The entire U. S. population consumes more than 500 million cups a day.

At last somebody has come up with a definitive healthy coffee. And they did it without sacrificing the rich full flavor experience that coffee brings: that delightful lift to our mood and mental outlook every morning of every day of our lives. And what they've done is take the most perfectly selected batch of rich Brazilian coffee bean, crystallize their finest flavor secrets and blend them into a superb combination of rich taste and powerful nutrition.

(PRWEB) July 16, 2004

The Chicago Breastfeeding Taskforce will celebrate World Breastfeeding Month with a day of activities designed to promote the importance of motherÂs milk as the gold standard of infant nutrition. This exciting outdoor event will be held at Stockton drive near the Lincoln Park Zoo lagoon (next to CafÃ© Brauer), on Saturday, August 7, 2004 from 10 am to 2 pm.

Breastfeeding women, families, fathers, children of all ages and the general public are welcome to enjoy refreshments, raffles and games while learning more about the benefits of breastfeeding. Representatives from local health departments, hospitals, community organizations and the Chicago Breastfeeding Taskforce will be available to provide useful materials and to answer questions about breastfeeding.

The benefits of breastfeeding include fewer respiratory infections, decreased incidences of allergies and chronic diseases, improved mother-baby bonding and overall better health outcomes for mothers and infants. In addition, families with at least one breastfeeding child may save at least $400 per year in infant food costs. The AAP (American Academy of Pediatrics) advocates breastfeeding as the optimal nutrition for infants.

The August 7th event is part of the annual World Breastfeeding Week and Breastfeeding Month activities.

Radio Show Features "The Queen of Health" Cancer Topic

Radio Show Features "The Queen of Health" Cancer Topic

KHTS AM 1220 Radio show Tuesday, October 3rd 12 pm - 1pm Pacific "The Queen of Health" Cancer Topic Topics include prevention, nutrition, stats, genetics, and children’s health.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 1, 2006

Returning special guest co-host Tami Hulcher, health educator and nationally recognized “The Queen of Health®”, will join Ellen Como on her KHTS AM 1220 “Lifestyle and Fitness” show on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3rd from NOON – 1pm Pacific Time. Nationwide listeners are invited to join us at www. hometownstation. com, click in to listen LIVE! “I will be dedicating this show in memory and in honor of my friend, the dearest Edith Meyer, who lost her courageous battle with cancer last month,” says Ms. Hulcher. Ellen and Tami will be also discussing children’s nutrition and the energy drink craze.

The science is clear. The results are unmistakable. Change your diet and dramatically reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity. According to many researchers, scientists and cancer experts, only about 5% of cancer is genetic. The other 95% can be attributed to diet and/or lifestyle. This is not an accusatory statement. Here are some facts:

According to Dr. David Heber, UCLA Center for Human Nutrition, only about 5% of cancer is genetic saying that “most cancers are not inherited.”

According to the American Cancer Society and Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention, only 5% to 10% of cancer cases are genetic. A vast majority of cancers, at least 90% then, occur in people with no family history of the disease. Although we can’t change our genetic makeup, we can modify our diet and lifestyles and we can still reduce our risks of getting cancer.

According to Dr. Walter Willett, Harvard Medical School, diet prevents up to 75% of certain cancers.

According to Dr. Patrick Quillin, PhD, RD, CNS, and author of Beating Cancer with Nutrition, “40% of cancer patients actually die from malnutrition.” Proper nutrition can also improve the outcome of cancer treatment.

Ms. Hulcher is a health educator, President and CEO of Ola Loa, Inc. This “Mom on a Mission” is also a guest of television, radio, and is a writer and soon-to-be author. Her popular lecture series “Got Health?” has been seen nationwide in schools, businesses, medical facilities, private health organizations, PTAs, churches, support groups, health expos and spas. She also serves as a wellness coordinator for many health care professionals.

Sunshine Burger Becomes First Veggie Burger Company Verified by Non-GMO Project

Sunshine Burger Becomes First Veggie Burger Company Verified by Non-GMO Project

The Non-GMO Project recently verified Organic Sunshine Burger's full line of gluten-free, soy free vegan burgers with certified organic, non-GMO whole food ingredients.

Fort Atkinson, Wis. (PRWEB) September 15, 2010

The Sunshine Burger & Specialty Food Company (www. sunshineburger. com) has earned the Non-GMO Project Verification for its full line of gluten-free, soy free vegan burgers with certified organic, non-GMO whole food ingredients. The company achieved the official verification and will soon carry the Non-GMO Project Verified seal on all retail products, said Cole Jones, General Manager.

Sunshine Burgers are made with organic raw ground sunflower kernels, organic brown rice and a variety of other organic whole food ingredients. The company’s products also do not contain wheat, soy, dairy, corn, tree nuts, ground nuts or eggs, an advantage for consumers with food allergies or intolerances. The prebaked and browned veggie burgers offer balanced nutrition in five delicious flavors including Barbecue, Breakfast, Falafel, Garden Herb and South West.

The Non-GMO Project is a non-profit organization created by leaders in all sectors of the natural and organic products industry from the United States and Canada to offer consumers a consistent non-GMO choice for organic and natural products that are produced without genetic engineering or recombinant DNA technologies. It began as a collaborative effort among independent natural food retailers who wanted to ensure that their customers had an abundant selection of clearly labeled, independently verified non-GMO choices.

“Since our customers educate themselves about the types of products they use, we felt that becoming non-GMO verified was the next logical step after organic certification,” said Jones. “And our company founder, Carol Debberman, would have it no other way. A practicing vegan for nearly four decades, Carol has always cared about offering products with the cleanest ingredient statements possible.”

The Non-GMO Project verifies all types of retail products so shoppers can more easily identify non-GMO items. In addition to adding the Non-GMO Project verified seal to the product packaging, Sunshine Burger will appear with other verified companies in the Non-GMO Project’s Shopping Guide on their website: http://tinyurl. com/nongmoproducts (http://tinyurl. com/nongmoproducts). Sunshine Burger also will be recognized during the first ever Non-GMO Month this October.

“Consumers deserve clearly labeled and independently verified non-GMO choices,” said Non-GMO Project Executive Director Megan Westgate. “It’s wonderful to see committed companies like Sunshine Burger leading the way in providing Non-GMO Project Verified options—consumers across the country will be excited and grateful to see the Project’s checkmark on all Sunshine Burger products.”

Sunshine Burgers are sold in most natural & organic independent grocery stores and co-ops as well as many major grocery retailers nationwide including Whole Foods Market, Harris-Teeter, Hannaford Brothers, Raley’s, Foodtown, Giant Food, Central Market, King Soopers, Price Chopper, Sunflower Market, Rouse’s, Woodman’s, Vitamin Cottage and Wegman’s.

New World Health Order: Nobel Prize Telomere Research Ushers New Healthy Aging Era

2011-06-14T04:19:00.000-07:00

New World Health Order: Nobel Prize Telomere Research Ushers New Healthy Aging Era

Age management medicine icon and telomere biology consultant Dr. Jeffry Life launches new medical realm for patients to live longer, better

Las Vegas, NV (PRWEB) October 9, 2009

Dr. Jeffry S. Life (http://www. drlife. com), national healthy aging expert and age management medicine icon, is one of five physicians in the U. S. licensed to offer TA-65™ -- a nutraceutical that prevents telomeres from shortening, which potentially slows the aging process. Hailing the groundbreaking work of prize-winning Nobel Laureates Elizabeth H. Blackburn, Carol W. Greider and Jack W. Szostak that revealed short telomeres lead to premature cellular aging, Dr. Life is merging telomere science with his already established, leading-edge protocols for age management and optimized health at the Life Center for Healthy Aging (http://www. drlife. com/life-programs/).

In January 2009, Dr. Life entered the telomere revolution, becoming a consultant for TA Sciences in New York, the only company worldwide to offer the TA-65™ (http://www. drlife. com/drlifeblog/healthy-aging-blog/story. bv? storyid=162) nutraceutical.

"The Nobel Prize research is brilliant, but the practical application of its importance can really only be measured in terms of its effect on the health of humans who suffer the consequences of aged, shortened telomeres. That's why I not only became a consultant for TA Sciences earlier this year, but signed-on as a client. I've been on TA-65™ ever since," Dr. Life said.

An emerging science via the Nobel Prize research, telomere biology is said to be changing the way we view aging. Telomeres are DNA repeats located at the end of chromosomes that act as caps to protect genes. Telomeres shorten every time a cell divides, which causes a cellular digression and conditions associated with aging. Telomerase--a natural enzyme--can help maintain telomere length.

Dr. Life says TA-65™ incorporated with his customized healthy aging protocols (http://drlife. com/press)--low-glycemic/low-fat nutrition, right exercise (cardio and resistance training), quality nutraceuticals and optimized hormones when clinically indicated--offers individuals the best opportunity to maintain their quality of life as they age, reducing risk for disease and maybe even extending their life span.

Without using TA-65™, it's been shown that decreasing stress, eating healthy and exercising properly can prevent telomeres from shortening, per a study conducted by distinguished microbiologist/telomere pioneer Elizabeth Blackburn and lifestyle/diet guru Dean Ornish. Study participants followed Ornish's low-fat/low-stress diet-and-lifestyle plan--and increased telomerase by 30%.

CEO and founder of The Life Center for Healthy Aging, Life is the former chief medical officer of Cenegenics® Las Vegas--headquarters of the age management medicine giant, Cenegenics Medical Institute. He garnered worldwide media attention ever since his muscular, virile, 67-year-old physique was used in Cenegenics' international ad campaigns back in 2006. Life operates his own center as a Cenegenics physician affiliate, offering patients the same evidence-based protocols that help him maintain youthful aging at 70 years old.

"Perhaps now that the scientific community has deemed telomere biology worthy of the Nobel Prize, the science of healthy aging will move into the realm of mainstream scientific interest," Dr. Life said.

For an interview with Dr. Jeffry S. Life or to schedule a public appearance, please contact Ann Castro, Media Relations/Creative Director, at 702.953.1561.

For more information about the Life Center for Healthy Aging, telomeres or TA-65™, visit our online press room (http://www. drlife. com/press) or contact the center's Vice President, Annie Life, at 702.953.1561.

About Jeffry S. Life, MD, PhD, FAAFP

Recipient of the first-ever Alan P. Mintz, MD Award for Medical Excellence in Age Management Medicine, Dr. Jeffry S. Life is CEO of The Life Center for Healthy Aging, located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The progressive LIFE principle is a straightforward map to healthy, active aging with physical and sexual energy, using proactive, leading-edge medicine and lifestyle interventions--rather than a reactionary approach to disease. Dr. Life is a Cenegenics® physician affiliate and former chief medical officer of Cenegenics Las Vegas, the global leader in age management medicine. Since 2006, Dr. Jeffry S. Life's before-and-after pictures have captured national and international media attention, motivating people worldwide to become his patients and learn how to manage their aging process.

The Breakthrough Soluble Fiber Supplement Is Here -- Ready Fiber is the World's First Clear Liquid Fiber Supplement

2011-06-13T21:31:00.000-07:00

The Breakthrough Soluble Fiber Supplement Is Here -- Ready Fiber is the World's First Clear Liquid Fiber Supplement

Until now, individuals who wanted the health benefits of fiber had only two options: chalky, gritty powders you had to mix with water and quickly choke down (in order to keep it from turning to sludge) or handfuls of hard-to-swallow pills (often 20-30 at a time.) But now there is a real alternative. Originally developed for hospital patients who could not use the traditional fiber supplements, Ready Fiber is the world's first and only clear liquid fiber supplement. Once available only to physicians and specialists within the medical field, Ready Fiber is now available to the consumer.

Costa Mesa, CA (PRWEB) September 28, 2007

Until now, individuals who wanted the health benefits of fiber (http://www. readyfiberrebate. com) had only two options: chalky, gritty powders you had to mix with water and quickly choke down (in order to keep it from turning to sludge) or handfuls of hard-to-swallow pills (often 20-30 at a time.)

But now there is a real alternative. Originally developed for hospital patients who could not use the traditional fiber supplements (http://www. readyfiberrebate. com), Ready Fiber is the world's first and only clear liquid fiber supplement. Once available only to physicians and specialists within the medical field, Ready Fiber is now available to the consumer.

Ready Fiber is ideal for individuals with busy lifestyles looking to improve their health. Unlike traditional supplements, Ready Fiber requires no mixing or water, no mess, and no clean-up. This highly concentrated formula provides 12 grams of soluble fiber per ounce, which is 400 percent more fiber than the leading fiber supplement. And it's tasteless, odorless and can be taken straight from the bottle as a daily "shot of health," or added to any food and beverage (hot or cold) with no change in consistency. It is also fortified with prebiotic FOS, clinically to support healthy intestinal flora, making Ready Fiber a breakthrough supplement for complete digestive health.

According to the National Fiber Council, the health benefits of fiber include increased regularity and relief from constipation, as well as a lowered risk of life-threatening diseases and conditions such as heart attack, diabetes (http://www. readyfiberrebate. com), high blood pressure, stroke, obesity and certain cancers. Fiber can help lower cholesterol by helping to absorb fat and cholesterol from food and can play a key role in weight loss by decreasing the number of calories absorbed per day and by helping individuals feel fuller, longer.

The recommended daily allowance of fiber is 32 grams for a healthy adult. But according to the Columbia University Institute of Human Nutrition, the average American barely consumes half that amount per day (10-15.) Traditional supplements provide only 3-5 grams of fiber on average, while one serving of Ready Fiber provides nearly 40 percent of the recommended daily allowance of fiber (as much as six bowls of broccoli) in each convenient one-ounce serving.

Want to give Ready Fiber a try? Health Direct is offering a $3.00 manufacturer's rebate on your first purchase. Go to http://www. ReadyFiberRebate. com (http://www. ReadyFiberRebate. com) to download your free rebate coupon.

Health Direct is a leading distributor of innovative, high-quality liquid supplements nationwide. Other Health Direct products include Fluid Motion (joint supplement formula), Sculpt n' Cleanse (colon cleansing system) and AminoSculpt (liquid collagen supplement.) More information at http://www.

Individual Earnings for Top Affiliates Still $25,000-$50,000+ Per Month As LeadingEdgeCash. com Becomes SellHealth. com

2011-06-12T04:17:00.000-07:00

Individual Earnings for Top Affiliates Still $25,000-$50,000+ Per Month As LeadingEdgeCash. com Becomes SellHealth. com

Affiliates have continued to bank industry leading commissions as LeadingEdgeCash. com completes the final stage of their brand transition to SellHealth. com. It's proof that while the company name has changed to better reflect their focus on health solutions in the anti-aging, weight loss, skin care, and sexual health markets, their commitment to helping their individual affiliates be successful is stronger than ever.

Victoria, British Columbia (PRWEB) July 14, 2009

The company name may have changed. But the commission payouts haven't. Affiliates of the new SellHealth. com (formerly Leading Edge Cash) are still earning industry leading commissions of 30% to 50% -- as much as $350 on any single referred sale.

"It's true," says Mike Wonnacott, Director of Marketing, "Most of our affiliates haven't batted an eye at our brand transition. It has been seamless. We have a really strong, positive relationship with our network."

And it's no wonder. They've had one of the top affiliate programs in this category since 2001, selling quality natural health products that are all fully endorsed by doctors and produced by the same cGMP certified manufacturer that major retailers like Wal-mart use to produce life-saving drugs.

"Plus I think it's worth emphasizing that we've got an excellent track-record of paying out commissions - on time, every month, without hassle," says Wonnacott.

And pay out commissions they do. Top affiliates in the SellHealth. com network are generating individual commission payments of between $25,000 and $50,000 a month. Of course, not all of their 30,000+ affiliates earn this kind of income. But a higher than average percentage still earn a respectable six figures annually promoting their products.

"We believe in creating easy wins for our affiliates to keep them motivated," says Wonnacott, "Our philosophy is that we should be doing 85% of the heavy lifting to close each new sale. So we give our affiliates all the marketing tools they need to promote our products. And we make sure each of our sales pages is fully optimized to convert maximum referred traffic into buyers."

With demand for nutritional supplements poised to grow by 39% to reach $8.5 Billion in the US alone by 2012 (MarketResearch. com), SellHealth. com affiliates remain in an excellent position to continue generating sizeable commission checks -- especially with the promise of some exciting new promotions on the horizon to celebrate the successful completion of this brand transition.

2011-06-12T03:48:00.000-07:00

HairEnergizer. com launches Dermal An® and AnaStim Ha® for Hair Loss and Hair Growth

HairEnergizer. com, a 10-year old manufacturer and distributor of hair loss and hair growth products, announces today two new products formulated to stimulate new hair growth and stop or slow hair loss. AnaStim Ha® and Dermal An®, are topical applications rich in Trichogen proven to block DHT, stimulate Anagen phase hair growth, and improve scalp microcirculation and capillary health.

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 4, 2008

HairEnergizer. com, a leading manufacturer and distributor of hair loss and hair growth products (http://www. hairenergizer. com/), announces today the introduction of two new products formulated to stimulate hair growth and help stop hair loss.

AnaStim Ha® and Dermal An® have been introduced to lead the fight against temporary male and female hair loss and to stimulate natural, new hair growth. Formulated with Trichogen®, a botanical extract complex proven in clinical studies to promote hair growth, AnaStim Ha® and Dermal An® are topical applications developed with active ingredients to promote and invigorate Anagen phase hair growth, while blocking 5 Alpha Reductase enzymes that lead to DHT production and hair loss.

AnaStim Ha® is a topical spray that stimulates follicle development with an 8% Trichogen® formula. Combined with Panthenol, that heals and moisturizes the scalp and hair, and Fenugreek, that stimulates microcirculation, AnaStim Ha® (http://www. hairenergizer. com/ProFolla-AnaStim-Ha-Follicle-Stimulator-p/heproanastimha. htm) targets new hair growth by stimulating follicle development with a refreshing and invigorating, yet light, Spearmint fragrance.

Dermal An® is a concentrated, 12% Trichogen® formulation developed to block DHT production that leads to hair loss. A topical application, Dermal An® (http://www. hairenergizer. com/ProFolla-Dermal-An-p/heprodermalan. htm) targets 5 Alpha Reductase enzymes responsible for converting testosterone into DHT (dihydratestosterone) which decreases blood supply to the scalp and follicle root - leading to hair loss.

Vice President Jason Coffey, says, "We have found Trichogen® to be very effective in our hair loss products. AnaStim Ha® and Dermal An® provide additional strength and key active ingredients to provide men and women with hair loss solutions." He adds, "We have seen positive results in over 90% of customers using these products and are confident increased strength formulations and added active ingredients will provide faster and greater effectiveness."

AnaStim Ha® and Dermal An® are both formulas strengthened with Trichogen®, a 14 botanical extract complex developed to stop hair loss and promote hair growth. Extracts such as Kigelia Afrcana, Ginko Biloba, Cinnamomumb Zeylanicum, Salvia Sclarea, Arginine, and Panax Ginseng Root act to:
Block DHT & 5 Alpha Reductase enzymes Provide essential amino acids for follicle development Provide proteins for hair growth Increase scalp stimulation, root depth, and follicle thickness Improve microcirculation and capillary health HairEnergizer. com has been a leading manufacturer and distributor of hair loss and hair growth products for over 10 years. The company focuses on shampoos, conditioners, hair vitamins and treatments that infuse moisture and vitamins, nutrients, amino acids and proteins necessary for healthy hair and optimal hair growth.

HairEnergizer. com offers a complete line of hair growth (http://www. hairenergizer. com/Hair-Growth-s/1.htm) and hair loss products - Hair vitamins, vitamins for hair growth, hair growth and hair loss shampoo, conditioners, follicle stimulators, and moisturizing products to arrest hair loss and promote natural hair growth. Many products are proprietary formulas rich in Trichogen®, clinically proven to stimulate hair growth, Jojoba or Emu Oil to clean and treat the scalp and promote circulation, and Panthenol or essential oils for healing itch scalp, strengthening hair and reducing breakage, or restoring growth to damaged or chemically-burned hair.

The company is one of only several firms globally offering a microscopic hair analysis to determine the causes of hair loss. Using polarized halogen-magneta determination, the hair analysis uncovers common problems such as:
Stress DHT enzymes Chemical or hormonal imbalances Excessive dirt, oil, or sebum Lack of nutrition Excessive styling or product build-up Many forms of hair loss are temporary and can be effectively addressed with hair growth products, nutrition, and lifestyle changes. The microscopic hair analysis identifies the causes of hair loss and subsequent reports provide photographs and in-depth analysis and recommendations.

Tishcon Doubles Donation to Tibetan Children

Tishcon Corporation today announced that it has doubled its commitment to supply multivitamin tablets to the Vitamin Angel Alliance and will now manufacture and provide two million tablets each month for distribution to at-risk children in Tibet.

Santa Barbara, CA (PRWEB) May 10, 2006

Westbury, N. Y. May 10, 2006 –- Tishcon Corporation today announced that it has doubled its commitment to supply multivitamin tablets to the Vitamin Angel Alliance and will now manufacture and provide two million tablets each month for distribution to at-risk children in Tibet.

Vitamin Angel Alliance, a non-profit organization designed to fight malnutrition and childhood blindness around the world organizes monthly donations in Tibet in coordination with the Terma Foundation, a non-profit humanitarian organization focusing on Tibetan health crises.

This brings us closer to our goal of distributing five million multivitamins to children in Tibet every month,” said Howard Schiffer, president, Vitamin Angel Alliance. “Since launching this campaign in 2003, a dramatic improvement has been seen in the children being served in Tibet. Tishcon has been with us from the start and is consistently one of the first companies to reach out and offer assistance.”

Last year alone, Vitamin Angel Alliance shipped more than 100 million supplements to over 40 countries throughout the world, including to victims of the tsunami in South Asia and hurricane Katrina in the United States.

Kellogg's Cinnabon Snack Bars Offer a Quick Indulgence to Escape the Daily Routine

Kellogg's Cinnabon Snack Bars Offer a Quick Indulgence to Escape the Daily Routine

The madness of consumers' busy days just got surprisingly more enjoyable. Thanks to new Kellogg's® Cinnabon® Snack Bars, the flavorful cinnamon filling and sweet frosting has been captured in a wholesome snack bar, giving consumers a small treat to relax and recharge during even the most hectic times. Beyond just a snack to escape and hit the reset button, Kellogg's® Cinnabon® Snack Bars developed more than 60 "Cinnaminutes" - simple ways to relax and refresh in a short amount of time.

Battle Creek, Michigan (PRWEB) July 16, 2009

The madness of consumers' busy lives just got surprisingly more rewarding. Thanks to new Kellogg's® Cinnabon® Snack Bars, the indulgent flavor of Cinnabon® has been captured in a wholesome snack bar, giving consumers an unexpectedly indulgent treat to enjoy during even the most hectic times.

With 92 percent of Americans looking to "take a break" from their daily routine1, people need to relax and recharge, even if it's brief.

"Finding time to treat the 'you' in yourself is important to maintaining a balanced life, especially during hectic times like these," says Stephanie Marston, lifestyle expert, speaker and accomplished author on topics surrounding life-balance techniques. "These snack bars are a perfect example of a simple way to cut through a busy day with a moment of relaxation."

Kellogg's® Cinnabon® Snack Bars offer a chance to momentarily hit the reset button and enjoy a surprisingly indulgent, wholesome snack. Kellogg's® Cinnabon® Snack Bars can also be enjoyed warm by heating just a few seconds in the microwave, sending the unforgettable smell of cinnamon throughout your home or office and heightening the enjoyment of the snacking experience. While they taste delicious, including a rich, flavorful filling and sweet icing, each bar is 150 calories, so they can easily fit into a balanced and healthful eating style.

Cinnaminutes - Simple Tips for a Quick Break
To help consumers identify even more ways to treat themselves to a quick break, Marston and the Kellogg's® Cinnabon® Snack Bar team developed 60 Cinnaminutes - simple ways to step back from the day in one minute or less. These short breaks can be enjoyed between meetings, waiting to pick up the kids or on the way to the next appointment.

Some of the quick-to-do, stress-relieving Kellogg's® Cinnaminutes include singing at the top of your lungs to your favorite song, reflecting on an enjoyable memory of your family or smelling something refreshing like lavender.

"These Cinnaminutes show that even taking a simple minute out of your day to reward yourself helps create a sense of balance and relief in your life," Marston said.

The full list of Kellogg's® Cinnaminutes can be found at the Kellogg's® Cinnabon® Snack Bar fan page at http://www. KelloggCinnaminutes. com (http://www. KelloggCinnaminutes. com).

Kellogg's® Cinnabon® Snack Bars are available in two flavors - Original and Caramel. Find the new Kellogg's® Cinnabon® Snack Bars at your local grocer. More information about Kellogg's® Cinnabon® Snack Bars is available at http://www. kelloggs. com (http://www. kelloggs. com).

Omega 3: A New Trend in Family Health

2011-06-09T07:53:00.000-07:00

Omega 3: A New Trend in Family Health

Omeag 3 is a vital nutrient, that is sorely missing in most of our diets today. Lack of this nutrient creates an imbalance in the "good fat" / "bad fat" ratio in our bodies, leading to all manner of physical complaints and illnesses.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) December 9, 2006

Compelling studies over the last several years have shown, conclusively, that Omega 3 offers such a wide range of health benefits, that it is almost unthinkable a family would not have some form of this nutritional item in their vitamin or supplement cabinet.

Global DNA Solutions, Inc., a cutting edge supplement company, who's drive in the market is to formulate the highest quality nutritional supplements possible, is proud to announce the release, this week, of its new Liquid Omega 3 formulation.

While Global DNA's product line covers a wide range of cellular nutritional items, they are particularly interested in Omega 3, and the vast array of health benefits this nutrient provides.

Nutrition for the entire family is the main goal of Global DNA Solutions, Inc., with specific interest in nutrition for kids, and the formulation of nutritional supplements that kids will take in order to avoid such problems as ADD and ADHD.

Whether in capsule or liquid form, Omega 3's main beneficial components are EPA and DHA, both essential fatty acids.

EPA is essential for brain and neurological function within the body, and DHA is essential for building the brain structurally.

Omega 3 is not a naturally occurring nutrient in our bodies, and as such, these two essential fatty acids must be found in other sources, such as coldwater fish, nuts, seeds, and leafy, green vegetables.

While we are all aware of the push for more seafood and other nutrients in our diets in order to increase the levels of "good fats" in our bodies, the amount of these foods one would have to ingest to hit a good level of Omega 3, would be extreme.

At first glance, the upside of Liquid Omega 3 is the elimination of the traditional "fishy" after taste associated with capsules.

Another benefit would be the elimination of swallowing multiple, large, capsules which can be impossible for some.

But much more importantly, the biggest plus is that the liquid formulation allows for a substantially greater percentage of EPA and DHA, which is the real benefit to the consumer.

Because our daily diets are so overloaded with "bad fats" coming from such sources as butter, margarine, sunflower, safflower and corn oils, "bad fat" levels build up and imbalance the levels of "good fat".

This "bad fat" / "good fat" imbalance sets off an inflammatory process in the body, that leads to all sorts of physical problems and complaints, which can, in turn, lead to real life threatening health issues.

Balancing out the "good fat / "bad fat" ratio contributes to a greatly improved cardiovascular and circulatory system, relief of pain from arthritis and chronic inflammation, reduced joint aches and pains, improved cholesterol, triglyceride and insulin levels, improved brain and memory function, elevated and stabilized moods which leads to fewer instances of depression, and is essential in the development of an unborn baby's brain, nerves and eyes.

It’s About Time: Small Brand Breaking Through in Protein Supplement Market

2011-06-09T03:47:00.000-07:00

It’s About Time: Small Brand Breaking Through in Protein Supplement Market

The age-old story of a small, up-and-comer battling successfully against giant competition is playing itself out here in Pittsburgh within the growing protein supplement category.

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) February 19, 2010

How does David hold his own against Goliath? Today, the answer may be in David’s choice of protein supplements.

The age-old story of a small, up-and-comer battling successfully against giant competition is playing itself out here in Pittsburgh within the growing protein supplement category. In only its second year of existence, SDC Nutrition has made enormous inroads with its About Time line of products made from 100% whey protein isolate. Relying more on moxie and personal selling than traditional marketing, SDC has built a growing, sometimes fanatical following among athletes, fitness trainers and even some Hollywood elite.

In 2008, fitness professional Sean Marszalek and food science expert Devenee Schumacher looked around at the growing number of protein supplement products on the market, and didn’t like what they saw. Too many artificial ingredients, artificial sweeteners, inferior protein concentrates, and very few options for people with certain dietary restrictions such as diabetes. “Frankly,” said Marszalek, “there was nothing I could recommend to my clients with a clear conscience.” One of those clients, Devenee Schumacher, happened to be a trained executive chef who also struggled with her own set of dietary limitations.

They began experimenting with different recipes for meal replacement options such as brownies and cookies, using only natural ingredients, whey protein isolate and no artificial sweeteners. Through trial and error, and an ever-expanding focus group of willing fitness clients and friends, they launched the About Time brand. Soon after, they expanded the line to include ready-to-mix whey protein powder.

Today, the About Time products can be found on the shelves of natural food stores, gyms, and nutrition outlets. The product is available in 36 states and three countries. The company recently launched a dynamic new online website and store at www. TryAboutTime. com.

A cornerstone of their initial success is their dedication to educating people on the benefits of protein nutrition and to beware of misleading health claims. “Protein is not just protein, “ said Marszalek. “People need to be skeptical of claims. Ask yourself if you really need all that stuff in your body.”

The message seems to be effective, especially with an important distribution channel – fellow fitness trainers. “We’ve found that if a nutritionist or trainer tries About Time a few times, we not only have a new customer. We have a new salesperson,” said Marszalek. Their personal endorsement has also led to some high-profile customers, including singing star Katharine McPhee. In a recent cover story in Shape Magazine, the former American Idol finalist and RCA recording artist named About Time one of her “My Feel-Good Tools.”

The personal endorsement came as a surprise for SDC. “It’s great to see the word spread,” said co-founder Schumacher. “Our goal is to create the best product on the market, keep our standards high, and be the supplement of choice.”

Currently, About Time markets Whey Protein Isolate powder in 2 lb. containers as well as convenient Fill, Shake & Go bottles. They also offer Oatmeal and Chocolate Brownie meal replacement bars.

About Time is the flagship brand of SDC Nutrition, based in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. SDC Nutrition is a privately held company founded by food and fitness experts Sean Marszalek and Devenee Schumacher. Information about products, nutrition facts on whey protein and company bios can be found at their new website, www. tryabouttime. com.

Girl Talk, led by Ellie Lane, MSW, LICSW and Life Coach will be held on Saturday, September 16th at 10:30 a. m. This workshop is for mothers and daughters (age 10 and up) and teaches about new ways to communicate ($24 for members/$33 for non-members).

“Acupuncture, is it for you?” FREE informational workshop with a live demonstration, will be held on Saturday, September 23rd at 10:30 a. m. The renowned Dr. Natalia Paliwoda, who has a practice in Braintree, will discuss how the ancient healing art of acupuncture can help with many ailments, such as migraines.

“We highly recommend the Acupuncture Workshop. My now 16-year-old daughter suffered daily migraines for years. After seeing a neurologist and undergoing many tests, she tried a variety of very strong prescription medications as well as chiropractic treatment, without any relief. At our wits end, we took her to Dr. Paliwoda. Acupuncture worked,” Deb Forbes, co-founder of Body To Soul explained. “Within seven weeks, my daughter’s health improved drastically, and she has experienced only three migraines. We try to spread the word about this phenomenal treatment because we are thrilled that my daughter no longer has to endure pain every day. She is much happier and does better in school because she doesn’t have to struggle to concentrate. Now she can participate in sports and many more social activities. She can enjoy herself.”

Yoga and Sound workshop will teach attendees how to deepen their yoga practice using their voice and relaxing sounds. Marnie Bacon leads this workshop, which will be held on Saturday, October 14th from 2:00 to 4:00 p. m. ($15 members/$20 non-members).

Menopause Madness with Pat Rackowski, teaches women how to “harness those hormones” on Saturday, November 18th at 10:30 a. m. ($15 members/$20 non-members.)

Body To Soul’s next Fitness Challenge will begin on October 7th and run for six weeks, ending with a celebratory outing. Challenging the mind, body and soul, Fitness Challenge participants are divided into teams and led by personal trainers and group class instructors. Operating on a point system, each individual is held accountable for making entries in a nutrition journal as well as for keeping track of weight training and cardio workouts. Even though each participant works out on her own and at her convenience, her tally contributes to the team’s overall point total. At the end of the Fitness Challenge, individual points are totaled together for each team, and the team with the most points receives special prizes.

To register, contact Body To Soul at (781) 829-2002.

ScreenScape Launches Group License Program

Delivers Powerful Venue Networking Solution to Enterprise Customers

(PRWEB) May 8, 2009

ScreenScape Networks Inc. (http://screenscape. net), the leader in Venue Networking, today launched its Group License Program (http://screenscape. net/GroupLicensing) and announced three new customers. Group licensing allows larger organizations to deploy a coordinated screen display network in a variety of configurations.

"By linking venue managers in the shared activity of authoring local screen displays ScreenScape builds collaborative venue networks" says ScreenScape Founder and Chief Product Officer Mark Hemphill. "Now, by offering powerful Group Licensing options we can help larger organizations to communicate intelligently and cost-effectively to people where they live, work and play."

ScreenScape (http://screenscape. net (http://screenscape. net)) is an Internet Service and community that offer a smarter, simpler and more cost-effective way for anyone to use dynamic screens in their venue. The service has been described by pundits as Web 2.0 digital signage as it combines professional display authoring tools with the content sharing principles and techniques of social media.

ScreenScape Group Licenses are available in two variants: Enterprise Networks and Marketing Networks. Both variants offer technology that enables the linking, branding and coordination of multiple accounts in a network configuration.

An Enterprise Network (http://screenscape. net/groupEnterpriseLicense) links multiple accounts under one organization to foster both company-wide messaging and, where needed, the coordination of local content for each venue in the network.

A Marketing Network (http://screenscape. net/groupMarketingLicense) gives businesses the technology they need to develop a content sharing network that spans organizational boundaries. This allows businesses to broker the exchange of content representing multiple brands to be delivered over a widespread distribution network for the purposes of offering value-added marketing and promotional services.

"ScreenScape Enterprise Networks offer a cost-effective way to step up corporate communications" says ScreenScape President and CEO Kevin Dwyer. "A coordinated screen display network gives businesses profound advantages in marketing and communications, in customer service, and organizational intelligence. A ScreenScape Marketing Network goes even further and is a good choice for businesses looking for new and innovative revenue models. Marketing Networks are used to broker content sharing between advertisers and public venues to reach specific target audiences and foster powerful marketing services".

Also today ScreenScape (http://screenscape. net) announced three new Group License customers.

"We're pleased to welcome our first Group License customers Nutrition House Canada, Spice Wellness Systems, and HearAtLast to ScreenScape", says Dwyer. "Group License customers add further value to the ScreenScape community and help to demonstrate the wide applicability of Venue Networking to businesses of any size."

Study Finds Transitions Lifestyle System Twice As Good As Popular Diets

2011-06-04T16:31:00.000-07:00

Study Finds Transitions Lifestyle System Twice As Good As Popular Diets

Low-Glycemic System Significantly Outperforms Other Diets

GREENSBORO, N. C. (PRWEB) December 20, 2005 —

Transitions Lifestyle System, a low-glycemic weight management system, showed nearly double the weight loss results when compared to popular diets Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers and Zone, according to a recent study published in the December 2005 issue of Alternative & Complementary Therapies. Study results also showed that the Transitions Lifestyle System reduced waist circumference by three times that of the same popular diets.

The study—“Weight Loss, Body Measurements, and Compliance: A 12-Week Total Lifestyle Intervention Pilot Study,” was lead by Shari Lieberman, Ph. D. It followed 56 participants through the 12-week Transitions Lifestyle System™ program.

The Transitions Lifestyle System uses the low-glycemic-index model of dieting. Glycemic index (GI) is a numerical measure of how food elevates blood sugar—a higher GI number indicates a higher likelihood of a blood sugar spike. Popular with diabetics looking to control blood sugar spikes, low-GI diets have been studied and utilized effectively for years. For this study, participants met once per week with a co-investigator and other participants in the study. During the meetings, participants learned how to follow a low-glycemic regimen, exercise properly and learned how stress can affect weight loss.

Results from the study were compared to a 2005 JAMA study that compared popular diets Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers and Zone for weight loss and heart disease risk reduction. In that study, overall weight loss in kilograms after 12 months was 2.1 for Atkins, 3.3 for Ornish, 3.0 for Weight Watchers and 3.2 for Zone. Waist circumference change in centimeters after 12 months was -2.5 for Atkins, -2.2 for Ornish, -3.3 for Weight Watchers and -2.9 for Zone.

At 12 weeks, participants in the Transitions System study showed a weight loss of 6.29 kg, nearly twice that of the popular diets studied. Waist circumference reduction in the Transitions study was nearly triple that of the popular diets at -9.73cm.

The study also showed Transitions Lifestyle System to be more effective in much less time. The results realized on the Transitions Lifestyle System took only 12 weeks versus one year on Atkins, Ornish, Weight Watchers and Zone diets.

“This pilot study shows that dieting is about more than eating less,” said Lieberman, best-selling author and co-investigator in the study. “The Transitions system teaches people how to lose weight by following a low-glycemic lifestyle that doesn’t rely on pre-packaged meals or unhealthy crash-dieting. Successful weight loss comes from addressing unhealthy habits both at and away from the table.”

Transitions Lifestyle System is available exclusively through Market America’s independent distributors. To locate a local distributor visit marketamerica. com or call (800) 862-6561.

ABOUT SHARI LIEBERMAN, Ph. D.

Dr. Lieberman earned her Ph. D. in clinical nutrition and exercise physiology. She is the best-selling author of “The Real Vitamin and Mineral Book” and “Dare to Lose.” She is a Certified Nutrition Specialist, a Fellow of the American College of Nutrition, a member of the American Academy of Anti-Aging Medicine, a board member of the Certification Board for Nutrition Specialists and President of the American Association for Health Freedom.

2011-06-02T18:43:00.000-07:00

Thrive the Way Nature Intended (…And Didn't) - New Nutrition Book Challenges Assumptions About How Diet Impacts Optimal Health

Finally, a sane -- and science-based -- departure from conventional thinking about nutrition. In this book, author and nutritional therapist, Nora Gedgaudas outlines the basic principles of how our bodies and brains function-- and the role that diet plays in physical and emotional health. Based on fundamental human physiology and the selective pressures that have shaped it over time, Gedgaudas goes beyond low-carb "caveman diets" and incorporates scientific research on food, exercise, brain function, aging, weight loss, nutritional supplements and emotional health to connect the dots between what we eat and how it affects us. Primal Body-Primal Mind: Empower your total health the way evolution intended (...and didn't) busts the nutritional myths, takes on the revered food pyramid and puts all the pieces together in one simple formula for total health.

Portland, OR (PRWEB) April 14, 2009

In her newly released book, Primal Body-Primal Mind: Empower your total health the way evolution intended (...and didn't), nutrition expert Nora Gedgaudas takes on the sacred cows of the health care and food industries to provide readers with a streamlined, simple approach to total health. Gedgaudas outlines how our brains and bodies work, based on fundamental human physiology and the selective pressures that have shaped it over time. The message of Primal Body-Primal Mind is positive and empowering: it is possible to re-engineer our bodies to optimal health--by remembering where we came from.

At a time when 16 cents of every American dollar is spent on health care, Gedgaudas believes it is not just possible-- but critical-- to restore the body and mind to a healthy foundation. By eating in a way that is in harmony with the fundamental workings of the human body and evolutionary history, it is possible to:
Reduce the need for prescription drugs and costly medical care Burn unwanted fat easily and effortlessly Skyrocket your energy Improve brain function and your emotions Save money on grocery bills Save untold hours in the gym Contribute to a more sustainable planet Support healthy genetic expression

Drawing on a personal and professional passion for optimal body and brain function, Primal Body-Primal Mind is the culmination of 25 years of nutritional research and 12 years of practical experience with clients. Guiding readers through the maze of conflicting news about diet and lifestyle, Gedgaudas uncovers:
Why soy is not a health food How supplements can help break our addiction to sugar Why the USDA pyramid is making us fat The clear connections between food and mood--and what to do about them Why low-fat diets don't work The pitfalls of "healthy" vegetarian diets Which proteins are best for our bodies and how much we really need

An indispensable tool for nutrition professionals and consumers alike, Primal Body-Primal Mind provides the knowledge needed to take charge of your health while saving hundreds of dollars on grocery bills and future health care costs at the same time.

Quotes for publication
"How do you put an end to future medical bills and prescription drugs? How can you burn unwanted fat easily and effortlessly? Hint: The future of our species lies in our past."

"Eating a diet as similar as possible to what our ancestors ate is purely common sense, and based entirely on how we have been genetically molded for the vast majority of human evolution. No gurus needed. Eat the way your body was designed for you to eat, and a lot takes care of itself."

MLM Expert Reviews New Home Based Business Opportunity From TriUnity International Called "Acai Plus" And Declares A Winner

Phoenix, AZ (PRWEB) September 8, 2006

"Now imagine that you have the opportunity to be part of the ground floor marketing success of that company and what you have is a real winner,” says leading home based business expert Josh Beistle of Acai Plus (http://www. usprofitsearch. com/acai-plus).

“Couple all of that with a highly compensated grass roots MLM or Network Marketing sales force, and TriUnity International’s Acai Plus is likely to break MLM sales records.”

The first thing to look at when evaluating a top MLM is the product or service. Always look for unique solutions that truly fill a need, want or desire in the marketplace.

“While Acai Plus is new to the functional health beverage industry (already a billion dollar industry) the core components, the Brazilian Acai Berry, Mangosteen and the Gogi Berry are all proven winners. What really sets Acai Plus apart from the crowd is that these leading ingredients are included at full serving amounts.

Discontinuity: Health-Enhanced Crops

2011-06-01T13:46:00.000-07:00

Discontinuity: Health-Enhanced Crops

Crops that are enhanced with beneficial or medicinal traits could help fight disease and health problems in Worlds 2 and 3, significantly boosting average lifespan in these regions.

Washington, DC (PRWEB) April 16, 2008

As part of our series on discontinuities (those sudden, sharp breaks that can strike consumers, business sectors, nations, or the world with disruptive force), comes this brief on health-enhanced crops by Social Technologies' analyst Christopher Kent.

"Enhanced crops are those that have been genetically modified to express a nutrient (such as a vitamin) or a vaccine for a common illness," Kent explains, noting that a number of different crops are being modified to express nutritional or medicinal traits:
Rice. The best-known enhanced crop is so-called "golden rice," which has been modified to produce elevated levels of vitamin A to treat vitamin A deficiency. Tomatoes. Researchers are working to create tomatoes able to produce vaccines for diphtheria and SARS. Potatoes. Spuds have also been engineered to produce vaccines for the Norwalk virus, cholera, and hepatitis B.

Health-enhanced crops defined

In addition to heralding a new model for disease treatment in Worlds 2 and 3, Kent believes the development and dissemination of enhanced food crops could save millions of lives a year in those countries alone.

"Health-enhanced crops would give people access to needed medicines that, in conventional form, never reach the poorest populations due to lack of money and infrastructure," says Kent, who believes the impact of easily grown or easily delivered vaccines and fortified crops would be considerable.

"Vitamin A deficiency affects 120 million children each year in Worlds 2 and 3," he notes. "Of those afflicted, as many as 500,000 go blind as a result. Plus, vitamin A deficiency contributes to childhood mortality associated with measles and diarrhea. The commercial development of vitamin A-fortified rice could be a cheap and easy way to boost vitamin A intake in Worlds 2 and 3, reducing infant mortality and blindness."

Other diseases being addressed by enhanced crops would also affect large numbers of people: diarrheal diseases contribute to 10 million deaths in Worlds 2 and 3 per year, and globally, 350 million people are infected with hepatitis B.

Cumulative probability of a health-enhanced crop revolution

Of course, many of these fortified plants are already in field trials, though the testing may not be complete until nearly 2020.

"If trials are successful, these plants could be grown commercially to treat their targeted conditions," Kent says. "Such crops might in time be replaced by other, more efficient ways of treating vitamin and nutrient deficiencies and diseases plaguing the world's poor."

Consumer impact

Health-enhanced crops could have local or global implications. For example:
The most immediate impact of enhanced crops could be improved health for millions of malnourished consumers in Worlds 2 and 3. Successful adoption and use of any of these health-enhanced crops could support efforts to completely eliminate more diseases, as was done with smallpox.

Home Exercise Equipment Fails to Deliver on Promise of Hard Bodies for All

2011-05-30T12:39:00.000-07:00

Home Exercise Equipment Fails to Deliver on Promise of Hard Bodies for All

Healthy fitness guru "weighs in" on why hard gainers need a well-rounded program of special exercise, diet, and nutritional supplementation

(PRWEB) June 29, 2005

According to the Sporting Goods Manufacturers Association, the sales figures for home exercise equipment have doubled during the past decade and health club memberships have increased 63%. But statistics from the Centers for Disease Control indicate that despite increased spending on equipment to eliminate love handles, trim hips and thighs, or reduce belly fat, Americans are losing their war on fat.

"No machine can 'target' the fat on your hips or stomach or butt," explains healthy fitness expert Anthony Ellis and creator of the Gaining Mass! system. "No one who has trouble gaining lean muscle mass can expect to achieve lasting results using equipment. It just doesn't work that way."

Ellis, who works with "hard gainers," is constantly surprised that "despite what science has told us is true about achieving a healthy body, there are still people who believe they can reach their goals by doing nothing more than working with one piece of exercise equipment." He notes that "hard gainers invest thousands of dollars to join fitness centers or purchase in-home workout equipment, but they don't get results they want."

He cites improper diet and over-training as the two main reasons most people never get beyond an average physique. "I see guys at the gym that workout 5-6 days per week for 2 hours or more each day - but they always look the same. They have the right motivation, but the wrong information. In other words, they're wasting their time, effort and money doing too much of the wrong thing."

Because so much effort ends up producing so few results, says Ellis, a hard gainer's equipment (and gym membership) are likely to end up gathering dust. Weight training is needed only to stimulate growth, and for hard gainersÂless is more. "Lean muscle mass doesn't grow during a workout," Ellis explains. "It develops after a workout, when the body is resting."

The body needs rest and food to build and re-build the muscle, says Ellis. "Hard gainers need more rest and food than others to fully restore they systems." If hard gainers don't address the unique challenges of their body types and fail to approach health and fitness from a 'whole body' perspective, Ellis says, "Their efforts will be doomed."

A self-proclaimed "average guy" who was "fed up with being a 135-pound weakling getting sand kicked in my face," Ellis has been able to achieve and maintain a miraculous transformation of his own body. Through study, research, testing, and re-testing, he ultimately created the system, Gaining Mass!, that works for himÂand now works for others, too.

With Gaining Mass!, Ellis has become a global guru and coach, to a worldwide network of "hard gainers. "There are more than 70,000 healthy fitness fans in 100 countries that have changed their bodies and their lives with Gaining Mass!" he reports with pride.

Gaining Mass! is a fully integrated program of all-natural, muscle-gaining techniques and strategies designed exclusively for people who have trouble with weight gain. In addition to solid, fact-based tips and techniques for healthy diet and nutritional supplementation, the program also outlines the best way for hard gainers to exercise.

Before fine-tuning the Gaining Mass! regimen, Ellis says he, himself, was devoted to exercise machines. "I was always told that free weights were a waste of time, and machines were much more effective. Boy, was I mis-led." Ellis reports that for hard gainers, "most machines are a waste of time. They limit development, because they help to support the weight."

On the other hand, he says that free weights "make you support the weight along the entire path of the movement." This, in turn, helps to stimulate more muscle fibers, while also strengthening smaller/weaker muscles." If the smaller supporting muscles are weak, explains Ellis, larger muscles won't grow. "That's why professional bodybuilders and world-class athletes don't use machines to build size and strength quickly. They use free weights almost exclusively!

Ellis learned that for hard gainers like himself, "the focus needs to be on compound free-weight training and lifting increasingly challengingÂthat is to say heavierÂweights." He notes that compound free-weights approach stimulates the largest amount of muscle fibers and that "the body responds to this stimulus by increasing your muscle mass."

Gaining Mass! addresses the best way to train and which exercises to avoid when training, but exercise is just one part of Ellis' successful approach. At the core of Gaining Mass!, Ellis says weight-challenged individuals will find "sane, rational, total-health-oriented ideas" on all aspects of healthy weight gain, including how to structure a diet to keep unhealthy fat gain to an absolute minimum.

To provide encouragement and solutions to hard gainers everywhere, Ellis' created an eye-opening 5-part report on healthy muscle gain -- "Learn What You MUST Know to Gain Mass FAST!" It is currently available available as a free instant download exclusively at: www. FastMuscleGain. com.

AcaiBerry-Products. com Now Posts Product Ingredients Labels On Its Website and Urges All Acai Companies to Do The Same

2011-05-30T09:54:00.000-07:00

AcaiBerry-Products. com Now Posts Product Ingredients Labels On Its Website and Urges All Acai Companies to Do The Same

The company says in order to reap the benefits of acai berry, consumers need to select the most potent acai products by carefully reading the product labels. They say those labels should be posted on all websites offering acai products. AcaiBerry-Products. com publishes acai berry information on its website and operates an international online shopping store specializing in acai berry products.

New York, NY (PRWEB) March 3, 2009

The international nutritional products retailer AcaiBerry-Products. com is now posting the ingredients labels of their primary product recommendations on the company website. This is part of an effort to help consumers make better informed decisions when buying acai berry products. The firm is urging other acai companies to do the same. There has been a flood of new acai products advertised on the internet but very few of these companies disclose the ingredients contained in these products. According to AcaiBerry-Products. com, it is critical for consumers to read the ingredients label prior to purchasing products with acai berries product because otherwise they run a high risk of buying products that contain only small amounts of acai.

Company spokesperson Chaz Sanderson says "Just because the front of the product has the word acai on it does not mean the product has very much actual acai in it." He adds that when consumers are able to read the ingredients label on the back of the product and see how much acai is contained in the product, they will then be armed with the information necessary to make a good decision.

Sanderson also states that when consumers buy organic acai that is 100% pure with no additional ingredients whatsoever, the potential issue of acai berry side effects becomes virtually non-existent except in the rare case of someone with an allergy to these types of berries. Pure acai berry that is truly pure should be fruit in freeze dried or frozen form.

Sanderson says there are many excellent benefits to using acai but only if people are using authentic high potency acai products. He adds that when shopping on the internet shoppers should look for the product label on the company website. According to Chaz, "If a company does not display an ingredients label on their website then that should be considered a red flag and consumers should avoid that product." His favorite product is named 'Perfect Acai' and that product's label is displayed on the company website.

In the case of Perfect Acai, their ingredients label makes a great case for buying that product. The product Perfect Acai contains 120 capsules per bottle with each capsule containing 500 mg of organic freeze dried acai berry powder. That equates to a total of 60,000 mg per bottle of 60 grams. Sanderson says "60 grams per bottle is a lot of acai making this product an excellent value."

Spokesperson Sanderson says it is shocking to see how many of the most recognizable brands of acai that do not disclose how much acai is in their product and which additional ingredients are contained in their products. There is so much excitement and often hype surrounding this extraordinarily nutritious substance, that folks are unfortunately buying first and asking questions later. Regardless, the potential nutritional benefits are substantial but only when buying the highest quality products.

The company believes that an informed consumer makes a good customer so they have provided lots of information on their website so that consumers can obtain a lot of background quickly and easily to help them select the best products. They also have an entire section on their website called Acai Berry Products To Avoid which gives folks a quick lesson on how to avoid nutritionally inferior products.

The company has also been a leader in warning consumers to avoid the so-called free acai berry offers because they properly should be called free acai berry scam offers. These dubious offers have been all over the internet for the past few years and the company has consistently warned against them from the outset..

Mr. Sanderson says the company website has customers from every continent in the world because of the company's strict quality criteria for any product they recommend, which is discussed on the company website. He explains for most people the best form of acai to use is the freeze dried acai because of its purity, potency, price and ease of use.

There are a number of factors that impact the quality and nutritional value of acai, the fruit that has been called the Brazilian superberry. The organization has done a lot of investigative work researching products for consumers and it does an excellent job of sorting out the best acai products.

Consumers should be aware that the fruit is highly perishable and will start to quickly lose its nutritionally potency within 24 hours of harvesting unless it is freeze dried or frozen within this tight time frame. So it is important to know that the company supplying the freeze dried or frozen acai product has sufficient quality controls in place, so they can be certain that the berries that they are freezing or freeze-drying has been freshly picked. This is one of about half a dozen critical criteria that are discussed on the website and consumers should know this information when selecting an acai berry product.

Additional information about the company's product selections for products are available on the company website.

Herbal Hair Loss Products Can also Protect Hair from Heat and Chemical Damage

2011-05-29T19:40:00.000-07:00

Herbal Hair Loss Products Can also Protect Hair from Heat and Chemical Damage

Many hair treatments such as coloring, perms, and electric drying can make hair thin, brittle, or weak. Natural hair loss products and herbal hair loss remedies may help your weakened hair, even if you're not suffering from hair loss.

(PRWEB) April 6, 2005

If you ever color or bleach your hair, you might be a candidate for herbal hair growth supplements. Many people with strong, healthy hair apply bleach or dyes to change the color of their hair. If you use chemical hair color treatments, or if you use hair treatments to curl or straighten your hair, you might cause damage to the hair shaft.

Dry heat can also damage healthy hair. Electric hair dryers and curling irons can damage the hair cuticle, making your hair shaft weak and brittle. Add to this many other factors such as chlorine in a swimming pool, or damage caused by direct sunlight, and youÂll see that your hair is constantly under assault.

Once you begin to damage the shaft, your hair can become weaker, thinner, or brittle. Proper covering, conditioning, and common sense are your first line of defense. Your hair shaft is made up of proteins, so anything that builds up these proteins will strengthen your hair.

Even if youÂre not suffering hair loss, herbal hair loss remedies can make your hair stronger. These natural hair loss treatments can help you minimize the damage and keep your hair longer and stronger for years to come. In addition, natural topical hair treatments can help, especially if they contain ingredients such as seaweed, kelp, and jojoba oil.

If you learn a little bit about the growth of hair and the underlying causes of hair loss and weakened hair strands, youÂll understand how to minimize the damage you cause when you alter the color or form of your hair with chemicals. You can find out more about herbal hair loss products and the hair growth cycle by visiting http://www. samsonssecret. com (http://www. samsonssecret. com).

Hair growth starts below the surface of your skin, inside the hair follicles of your scalp. A mass of cells called the papilla grows cells which form the hair shaft. As new hair cells grow, they create a continuously longer strand of hair. Most hair loss treatments that work are based on stimulating or nourishing the papilla so it produces a strong, healthy strand of hair.

Eventually, the hair shaft falls out, and your follicle produces a new hair shaft. This is a normal, natural part of the hair growth cycle, and it happens every day. As long as the growth of new hair replaces the discarded hair, you wonÂt experience baldness, receding hair line, or other types of hair loss.

When you use chemicals to color your hair or change its consistency, you may cause direct damage to the hair shaft. Over the long term, these chemical hair treatments can make your hair brittle, so that it might break or fall out sooner. This shortens the hair growth cycle, and if your follicles canÂt produce new hair fast enough to replace the damaged hair shafts, you will notice hair loss.

Compare a thick climbing rope to a thin piece of thread. The rope can support a heavy person without breaking. The thread will snap under just a small amount of pressure. In the same way, if you have thick hair, it will resist breaking and last longer.

Now think about what happens when you apply chemical treatments to your hair. Instead of a rope, imagine a dry piece of grass. ItÂs brittle, and it can break easily. When you apply coloring or other treatments to your hair, it can become brittle like that piece of grass.

This is where using a natural hair loss product can help you. Experts recommend you condition and ÂmoisturizeÂ your hair just as you would for your skin, so itÂs only natural that you would want to nourish your hair from the inside as well. Many herbs help to feed your hair follicles. Healthy follicles will produce hair faster, and they might produce stronger, thicker hair shafts that will be more resistant to the damage caused by chemicals you apply to your hair.

Herbal hair products, as well as herbal supplements in general, can help protect your body from the harmful effects of chemicals, and this will also indirectly protect your hair from bleaching and other forms of chemical damage.

What to Do About Damaged Hair

When you experience severely damaged hair after getting a perm or tinting, visit a dermatologist to see if the damage has extended to your follicles. Be sure you document any doctor visits, and collect proof of your situation and the way you resolve it.

Treat damaged hair with extra care. Use a conditioner regularly, and moisturize your hair every day. DonÂt wash your hair more than four times a week, and pat it dry with a towel. Never use a brush on wet hair. Once youÂve taken these precautionary steps, you may want to improve the growth and recovery of your hair through a proper diet. At this point, herbal hair growth supplements could be the final step towards restoring thick, luxurious hair.

One of the secrets to strong, healthy hair is nutrition. If you want to find out more about natural herbal hair loss products that might be right for you, please visit http://www. samsonssecret. com (http://www. samsonssecret. com).

How Well Do You Sleep At Night? Visit The New Online Aviisha Medical Wellness Institute To Find Out

Sleep Apnea May Be Preventing Millions of Americans From Getting the Sleep They Need

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) August 19, 2009

Nearly 20 million Americans suffer from sleep apnea, a serious health condition that has been linked to increased risks for obesity and weight gain, heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, asthma and depression. Sleep apnea has also been cited by experts as the number one cause of car accidents. Ninety-five percent of sleep apnea cases go undiagnosed, putting the health of millions of Americans at risk.

How can people determine if they suffer from sleep apnea? There are some simple questions they can ask themselves:
Do they have a high chance of dozing off when sitting in traffic in their car? What about when sitting reading, or watching TV? Or when they are sitting talking with someone, or sitting inactive in a public place?

If someone answers yes to more than one of these questions, he or she could be suffering from sleep apnea and not know it. The Aviisha Medical Wellness Institute has launched a new website, www. aviisha. com] that will help them find out. Once at the site, visitors can take a complete sleep apnea quiz (http://www. aviisha. com/sleep-well/quiz), to learn more about sleep apnea and its possible health affects, and find information on how to treat sleep apnea.

Key to the Aviisha approach is The Home Sleep Test (http://www. aviisha. com/sleep-well/home-sleep-test), which enables users to determine if they suffer from sleep apnea without ever leaving home. The sleep test is easy to use, and collects data on the user's sleeping patterns overnight. The next day, Aviisha experts evaluate the sleep test results and determine whether the patient is suffering from sleep apnea. Aviisha then provides a recommended sleep apnea treatment report, with follow-up medical treatment available through the Aviisha Medical Wellness Institute or a patient's own physician.

The home sleep test is the only one of its kind available directly to consumers, and costs a fraction of what a sleep test conducted in a sleep lab or doctor's office would cost. It can be ordered directly from the aviisha. com website at http://www. aviisha. com/sleep-well/home-sleep-test (http://www. aviisha. com/sleep-well/home-sleep-test)].

According to the National Institutes of Health, sleep apnea is a disorder in which someone has one or more pauses in breathing or shallow breaths while you sleep. These pauses can last from a few seconds to minutes, and can occur as many as 30 times or more an hour. It is usually a chronic condition that disrupts sleep three or more nights each week resulting in poor sleep quality that leads to fatigue during the day. Because most sleep apnea symptoms are somewhat generic, many people attribute their sleepiness, fatigue, stress and inability to focus to reasons other than sleep apnea.

"We are just beginning to understand how crucial sleep is to overall health," says Dr. Avi Ishaaya, Medical Director. "If you are frequently tired, your fatigue could mean that you are at greater risk for a number of life-threatening conditions, including cardiovascular disease and high blood pressure. Sleep apnea has been directly linked to obesity and weight gain, and many experts believe it is the number one factor for car accidents. So you are not just tired if you have sleep apnea--your overall health is at serious risk. So if someone suspects they have sleep apnea, it is critical to take a sleep test to find out."

Dr. Avi is medical director of the two Aviisha Medical Wellness Institutes--in Los Angeles and Thousand Oaks, California--where he has helped thousands of patients improve their overall health. A pioneer in sleep therapy, he is Board-certified in Pulmonary Medicine, Sleep Medicine, Internal Medicine, and Geriatrics, and is an assistant clinical professor of medicine at the UCLA School of Medicine.

Each Aviisha Medical Wellness Institute location is staffed by a diverse team of medical professionals, including sleep therapists, nutritionists, fitness experts, nurse practitioners, and counselors. The facilities include sleep labs, sleep clinics, physician offices and specialized health and wellness products for purchase, including the Aviisha Sleep Test and a selection of top-of-the-line Auto CPAP and masks.

A P. E.A. R.L. is found in South Carolina's Upstate

2011-05-28T19:48:00.000-07:00

A P. E.A. R.L. is found in South Carolina's Upstate

New Equine Rescue Organization established in South Carolina.

Anderson, SC (PRWEB) January 14, 2006

On December 10, 2005 the Board of Directors of a newly incorporated Non-Profit Equine Rescue Organization met in order to find a suitable name for their charitable Organization. The Treasurer & Secretary, Birgit Conlen said she suggested the name "PEARL", because it is a friendly acronym with a positive message behind it: Palmetto Equine Awareness and Rescue League (P. E.A. R.L.)

This group is dedicated to providing assistance to South Carolina's Animal Control Officers, Law Enforcement Officers as well as horse owners, who may need assistance understanding proper care and nutritional requirements of their equine companions.

It is P. E.A. R.L.'s philosophy that our Animal Control and Law Enforcement officers may not always be able to assess a horse’s health condition or might require assistance picking up abandoned, abused or neglected equines.

The newly elected Chair, Nicole Walukewicz explained, "We are a support group for anyone with concerns about proper care of equines. If an Officer sees an animal and feels it might be in need of assistance, we will be available to help them assess the condition and needs of the animal. If law enforcement seizes an animal and needs a place to hold it, while at the same time providing quality care and proper nutrition, we'll be there to help. If an owner - perhaps a parent bought their child a first pony and discovers they don’t really know everything involved in caring for the animal - we'll be available to help them understand the needs of a horse - medically, nutritionally and psychologically."

Nancy Traynam, the Vice Chair agrees that, "oftentimes, people want a horse, but when they bring it home they discover there is a lot more to owning and caring for it than they originally anticipated. Having an organization to call for information or assistance might pave the way to reduce the number of neglected and unwanted horses that Law Enforcement, Animal Control and Humane Societies need to deal with."

P. E.A. R.L. is dedicated to the preservation and welfare of all equines. Being an all-volunteer organization with no paid staff positions, rescue and assistance efforts are funded solely through donations, ensuring P. E.A. R.L. can help horse owners, Law Enforcement, Animal Control & Humane Societies as well as being able to provide a safe environment for equines that have endured starvation, neglect or physical abuse.

In Kosher We Trust (IzzyCue)

2011-05-25T13:33:00.000-07:00

In Kosher We Trust (IzzyCue)

IzzyCue CafÃ© Baked Goods are now OU-DÂ certified by one of the most prestigious kosher certification agencies (Orthodox Union).

NEW YORK, (PRWEB) April 3, 2004

IzzyCue, the venerable lifestyle brand, received kosher certification from the Orthodox Union (OU) located in New York City, for its entire line of premium baked goods.

For certification, IzzyCue licensed producer demonstrated during an on-site inspection that it follows kosher laws that are spelled out in the Old Testament. Kosher is the Hebrew word for ÂfitÂ or Âproper,Â and it means an item conforms to biblical laws governing the selection and preparation of foods.

Kenneth H. Tan, IzzyCue Founder and CEO, stated that ÂIzzyCue undertook the process for kosher certification as part of the companyÂs aggressive efforts to provide the finest baked products. Our cookies and brownies have become an important part of our consumersÂ lifestyle consumption and kosher certification is a recognized indication of the type of mainstream safety appeal that is inherent in kosher dietary laws today,Â he said.

ÂIzzyCue will continue to look for ways to improve the nutritional benefits of its baked good line. Consumers who purchase kosher products are strongly motivated and are very loyal. They are concerned about quality and safety and are members of a highly desirable market,Â Kenneth said.

According to Integrated Marketing Communications, Americans bought $50 billion worth of kosher productsÂincluding snacks, soft drinks and even beerÂin 2000. The consulting firm projects sales will grow to $80 billion by the year 2005.

Observant Jews make up just 20 percent of the 10-million-buyer kosher market. Other religions with dietary restrictions make up 30 percent. Vegetarian and lactose intolerant consumers make up 25 percent, and the other 25 percent are people who prefer kosher products because they may be healthier and of better quality.

ÂKosher is a behavioral term; it is also a state of mind, which leads you to where you ultimately belong. As human decency is on the rise and kindness is making a come-back, what better time is there to strive for proximity to the sublime,Â Kenneth said in closing.

Kosher industry sources welcomed the news from IzzyCue because of the growing demand for kosher products. The OU-D designation will open up new opportunities for IzzyCue as organic shoppers roughly one third of all consumers, typically also prefer kosher.

The word 'Kosher' means 'fit' or 'spiritually fit', as described in the books of Deuteronomy and Leviticus. As a result of kosher supervision, kosher products are scrupulously clean, and the word Kosher has become synonymous with premium quality. Kosher requirements are far more stringent than U. S. Department of Agriculture requirements.

IzzyCue, a unit of BKN International Incorporated, is an emerging cross-channels manufacturer of high-end consumer products.

Mike Torchia, Renowned Fitness Expert, Launches Nationwide Campaign to Fight the Epidemic of Metabolic Syndrome-X

Mike Torchia, Renowned Fitness Expert, Launches Nationwide Campaign to Fight the Epidemic of Metabolic Syndrome-X

Mike Torchia, renowned fitness expert launches nationwide campaign to fight the epidemic of Metabolic Syndrome-X. Today’s population has poor diets that are too high in fat, sugar and loaded with chemicals. The end result is Metabolic Syndrome-X, our immune systems are weakened and are more susceptible to diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, asthma, cancer, joint disease and more. Fitness expert, Mike Torchia (www. operationfitness. com) is rising to the challenge of fighting this rapidly growing plague.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 25, 2006

Centuries ago, people lived a simpler, yet healthier life. They didn’t have the plethora of diseases we have today. They were more physically active out of necessity -- farming the land, taking care of livestock and walking or riding horses every where they went. This manual labor had their bodies much more fit than Americans today.

Not only were their body’s fitter, but also the foods they grew on their farms were healthier and more nutritious. Today, our ranches over-farm the land, so the necessary vitamins and minerals that were so plentiful hundreds of years ago are sorely missing in our produce. Even the organic produce, while better than conventional, is still not as nutritionally balanced as we need it to be. This is one reason why it’s necessary to take extra vitamins and minerals to offset this problem.

Add to this the stress Americans put themselves under and we have a nation of overweight and physically unfit humans. We seemingly can’t live without technology, but it’s this technology that makes being lazy so much easier. Centuries ago, people were more active outdoors -- not only traveling back and forth to work and school by walking, but spent leisure time outdoors, as well. Kids today sit in front of TV’s, computers and video games. Their parents don’t set examples for them, either, often coming home from work to do more work at their desks or watch sports on TV.

Operation Fitness is specifically designed to help people improve health and increase self-esteem. Alarmed by the epidemic of obesity and poor physical condition of our children today, fitness expert, Mike Torchia developed this fun and exciting program. Mike was an obese child and he knows first hand the pressures that children face everyday. He is dedicated to guiding people of all ages toward achieving optimal physical and emotional health and wellbeing.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:

This is a training system based on an innovative technique combining Pilates, yoga, weight training, cardiovascular conditioning, and stretching. This program is not limited to physical activity. The program will first begin with a full fitness, nutrition, and psychological evaluation of each individual. Next they will receive a fitness and nutritional program based on their individual needs and capabilities. People will then learn the importance of proper nutrition and daily exercise. Finally, they will go through “motivational training.” This will ensure maximum results in the shortest period of time and permanent lifestyle changes.

PROGRAM BENEFITS:

Reversal or prevention of Metabolic Syndrome X through teaching the importance of physical activity and proper nutrition

Improved self esteem and confidence

Increased physical energy and mental alertness

Development of a positive relationship with food

Increased motivation and will power

Disenchanted Networkers Urged to Give Eniva a Try in Trade Newspaper

2011-05-21T14:13:00.000-07:00

Disenchanted Networkers Urged to Give Eniva a Try in Trade Newspaper

The Network Marketing Business Journal, the leading direct sales and multi-level industry newspaper for the past 21 years, says that a top Eniva distributor urges disenchanted networkers, “Give it one more try with this company.” The Journal has featured the top Eniva distributor as its “Company of the Month” in its September 2006 issue.

Joliet, IL (PRWEB) August 2, 2006

Top Eniva® distributor Randy Allen is urging all disenchanted networkers who’ve had their dreams stolen by failed companies and sham products to give it just one more try with Eniva through the “Company of the Month” feature article in the September 2006 issue of Network Marketing Business Journal, formerly named Money Maker’s Monthly, the leading direct sales and multi-level industry newspaper for the past 21 years.

Allen believes in this solid, eight-year-old company that has given him the success that’s he’s been looking for for so long, the feature article went on to say. Allen could buy four Cadillac Escalades per month and 10 people on his team could buy a Cadillac Escalade every other month after joining Eniva within the last two years. “Fifty-five people in my organization are driving new cars through the company’s car bonus program,” Allen told Network Marketing Business Journal (NMBJ). “Everyone I know in Eniva is successful,” he said.

The feature article also reported that Eniva’s “impact” product is VIBE™, an all-in-one liquid nutritional supplement that addresses all aspects of the aging process. Eniva has just opened in Mexico and Canada, which has Allen and his team excited. Allen also likes the fact that Eniva has what he terms “honest owners” in the Baechler twins, brothers Andrew and Benjamin. He’s also impressed that sitting on the company’s board of directors are the former presidents of Watkins and Fuller Brush. But most important to Allen, and those on his team, is that they are finding the lifestyle that they want. Besides the monthly income, Allen is driving a Cadillac Escalade with his car bonus money and he’s just moved to a beautiful home overlooking a golf course in Tennessee, near the Smoky Mountains.

The feature article went on to say that Allen’s success in Eniva is built on the success of those in his team. Most people quit network marketing before they reach real success but Allen wants those networkers who’ve walked the trail of tears and been disappointed by sham products, dishonest owners, con artists, failed companies, bankruptcy and divorce to give it just one more try with Eniva. Allen describes many on his team who were seasoned networkers as “disenchanted.” But Allen believes that the Eniva program works for seasoned veterans as well as people new to the industry.

Michael A. Carter, Sr elected Chairman of Day Spa Association Board

2011-05-20T14:32:00.000-07:00

Michael A. Carter, Sr elected Chairman of Day Spa Association Board

Entrepreneur Michael A. Carter, Sr. has recently been elected to the Board of the Day Spa Association, promoting a standard of quality and unity within the day spa industry in America.

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) April 23, 2006

In their 2006 election, The Day Spa Association’s Board of Advisors has elected Mr. Michael A. Carter, C. E.O and owner of Athena Health Club and Day Spa in Nashville, TN to be their chairman. According to Ms. Hannelore R. Leavy, Founder and Executive Director of the organization, her nomination of Mr. Carter was because of his dedication and compassion for the industry.

“The U. S. day spa industry has experienced double digit growth over the last five years. There are more than 7,000 day spas and the majority of new and existing day spas have come into existence as the result of the transformation from beauty/skin care salons. It is critically important that as our industry moves forward we must clearly articulate and communication to the public in which we serve what to expect when they have true day spa experience” stated Carter in a recent interview. The guidelines of a true day spa are outlined clearly online at www. dayspaassociation. com.

These include:

A clean, safe, calming and nurturing environment Private treatment rooms for each client receiving a personal service Showering and changing facilities for women and men Spa robes and shoes for all sizes Business licenses; professional, licensed estheticians and therapists on staff Professional spa products for which estheticians and therapists have received training in their use Massages: Swedish, Lymph Drainage and Reflexology (Optional: Shiatsu, Polarity, Sports, Deep tissue, and Deep muscle) Body treatments (one or more on the menu): Body packs and wraps, Exfoliation, Cellulite, Body toning/contouring, Waxing, Homecare program (Optional: Electrical impulse body toning, heat treatments, Aryurveda treatments, Laser hair removal, Electrolysis, Hand & Foot care) Face: Cleansing facial, Homecare program (Optional: Medical facial, Electrical toning, Laser hair removal, Electrolysis, Cosmetics, Make-up consultation) Aromatherapy: Personalized for body and/or face One of the following: o Hydrotherapy

O Steam and Sauna

One of the following: o Nutritional Counseling/Weight Management

O Private Trainer/ Yoga/Meditation

O Spa Cuisine

Optional: o Hair - full service salon, Scalp treatments and hair packs

O Spa manicure and pedicure

Ms. Leavy further noted that Michael Carter’s recognition of the importance an industry association plays in not only representing it’s members’ interests, but the association’s needs for the full support of its members in order to be effective in its mission.

“We are grateful to Mr. Michael A. Carter for accepting this position to assist us in streamlining the activities of The Day Spa Association. We are confident that with his leadership, the DSA will strengthen its role within the day spa community,” adds Leavy.

Michael A. Carter, Sr. comes to the Day Spa Industry first, as a client. His life has been highlighted with several successful business titles, including his last corporate position before the launch of Athena Health Club and Day Spa, as the Director of Marketing and Government Affairs with Anthem Alliance, a U. S. Department of Defense Health Care Contractor based in Indianapolis, Indiana. Upon ‘retirement’ he and his wife, Pamela, also a successful business person, chose to fulfill a lifelong dream of living in Europe. Two years in Waterloo, Belgium created a desire for two things. First, the discovery of the European Day Spa experience made a lasting impression. There was little in their experience to equal what they found in the spas of Europe, back home in America.

Secondly, as a competitive swimmer and strong fitness proponent, Michael made sure that the requirement of an inside pool and fitness equipment were available in his home. Soon the word spread of Michael’s gift of unique swimming techniques and his fitness programs, and created a demand for his teaching of area students in Waterloo at his home. This ‘retirement hobby’ became a seven day a week job. Michael Carter found his joy and returned to America in search of the perfect place to create what he’d come to love…a beautiful European Day Spa at home in the States.

After literally a year of research, the upscale area of Brentwood, TN provided the launching pad for Athena Health Club and Day Spa, a 15,000 square foot oasis, with a $3.5 million build-out to create one of the most inviting, calming, rejuvenating “true” day spas, and the largest in Middle Tennessee. Enlisting the help of his accountant of 25 years Louise Ratts, and successful fitness club managers Vicky Hilliard and Pamela Spradlin, Michael Carter has seen two years of unprecedented growth. They are in the final stages of a second launch of an expansion at a new location which will provide services that the Athena client demands, yet didn’t fit with the ‘day spa’ definition. In June 2006, the Athena Salon and Image Center at a near-by Brentwood location will offer hair services, manicures, pedicures, fashion/imaging, and a business service division that offers graphics, photography, video services, and a host of perks unique to the recording artist client, a demographic that is abundant in the Nashville/Brentwood area. This synergistic approach under the Athena umbrella begins and ends with the goal of one thing: premium service.

Athena Health Club and Day Spa is moving into areas of unique services including corporate wellness, ashiatsu, jahara, and a full nutritional program designed by Monica Coote to promote detoxification of the body.

As well as serving as the new Chairman of the Day Spa Association, Michael A. Carter, Sr. also serves on the Middle Tennessee United Way Board of Trustees, Nashville State Community College Foundation Board of Trustees, Nashville Chamber of Commerce Board of Governors, The Brentwood Chamber of Commerce Board of Directors, and The Middle Tennessee Council Boy Scouts of America Board of Directors.

Diets Fail Because of Hunger, Cravings, Boredom, and Too Much Counting -- Not on the Banta Diet

2011-05-20T11:37:00.000-07:00

Diets Fail Because of Hunger, Cravings, Boredom, and Too Much Counting -- Not on the Banta Diet

Banta dieters reported craving decrease or complete disappearance within 3 to 8 days on the diet.

(PRWEB) November 4, 2004

Have you ever asked yourself why do overweight people feel hungry, all the while having so much energy stored in their fat depots? The answer is because their bodies, fooled by the wrong way of eating, fail in recognizing their own fat as fuel.

Different from hunger are cravings, which are direct consequence of the above mentioned failure. In a way, craving is a false hunger for an easy fuel, such as carbohydrate-rich food. As long as we yield to this false demand, the vicious circle remains closed. On the other hand, as soon as your body recognizes its own fat as a good food source, it stops being dependent on what it considered an easy source of energy, carbohydrates, and naturally stops craving them. On low carb diets, cravings usually stop within the first week.

Many talk about dieting boredom. The news. scotsman. com published an article titled "Spiceless Atkins diet bores you thinner" where they quoted professor Arne Astrup, a nutrition expert from the RVA University, Copenhagen: "The success of the low-carbohydrate diet might be due to the restriction of the variety of food choices - the monotony and simplicity of the diet could inhibit appetite and food intake."

The Banta Diet founder, Dr Zilberter, disagree: "The beauty of our unique approach is that ny food is OK, eventually. In cases when dieters can't wait, we help in creating designer meals including the food in question because the Fat Burning Index of entire meal can always be compensated -- and we know how to do this," said Tanya Zilberter, PhD. "The ways of eating we gradually develop for our clients are as different as their bodies are. Some of our dieters become vegetarians, yet others adhere to ones that are completely satisfying to them, no-count very low calorie plans, periodic fasts, or the one-meal-a-day plans."

"My hunger level went way down and I was in moderate to heavy ketosis most of the time; I'm surprised my cravings for sweet things were so easily suppressed," - wrote Stephanie after one week on the diet.

"LESS hungry NO cravings, a little more energy," - reported Bernales (lost 2 pounds and 1.5 inches in one week.)

"The recipes are fabulous, my friends raved about that mashed cauliflower. I seem to be a creature of habit. People are definitely commenting on my changing body. I can't tell you how very grateful I am for your wonderful help, support, education and personal attention. I look forward to learning, and trying, more." - Naomi (lost 4 pounds and 1 1/2 inches in two weeks)

The food choices Bantadiet. com offers decrease appetite due to the "right" combination of fat:carb+protein so the dieters eat less without watching how much they eat, as long as they stick to the food lists and meal plans. This is Banta's solution to the "too much counting" component of the reason why diets fail.

"Counting" is a serious problem in any diet. counting carbohydrates is no exclusion. In a recent survey by NPD Group, most low-carb dieters actually consumed more carbs than they thought they did. The study of 11,000 consumers concluded that only one out of every four low-carb dieters "are actually significantly cutting carbs," according to carbwire. com.

Oral Health Promotion Newsletter from OraMedica International Helps Reduce Medical Claims, Improve Workplace Wellness

2011-05-19T00:09:00.000-07:00

Oral Health Promotion Newsletter from OraMedica International Helps Reduce Medical Claims, Improve Workplace Wellness

New bimonthly health e-newsletter focuses on dental conditions associated with systemic health problems to help reduce healthcare costs.

Muncy Valley, PA (PRWEB) November 27, 2007

OraMedica International, LLC today announced the launch of a workplace health promotion e-newsletter for directors and coordinators of employee health. The newsletter, "Dental Health Matters," (http://www. oramedica. com/dentalhealthmatters. html) provides clear and concise information for staff educators about dental-systemic health connections that can help improve employee health and productivity.

The health risks from oral infections, dental trauma, missing teeth, and bite imbalances are not widely known or understood. This puts the employee who wishes to improve health and vitality at a disadvantage. Employers may be paying needlessly for lost work days, disability, and rising premiums from insurance use.

Incorporating information from "Dental Health Matters" into health initiatives that focus on nutrition, fitness, weight management, smoking cessation, stress management, and employee safety not only reduces health risks, but remains valuable throughout the lifetime of a diverse and multi-generational workforce. For more information, see the white paper "The Value of Dental Health in Wellness Coaching and Health Promotion." (http://www. oramedica. com/valuedentalhealth. html)

Another health promotion tool that OraMedica offers at no cost to wellness coordinators is the employee E-Booklet "Take a Holistic Bite Out of Gum Disease - 60 Tips to Protect and Support Total Health," (http://www. oramedica. com/gumspdf. html) which can be uploaded to the company intranet. And because health and wellness go hand in hand with healthy living products and services, OraMedica has developed a dental wellness consumer site containing researched health-promoting products (http://www. shop-holistic-health. com). Dr. Andrea Brockman, president of OraMedica, says, "Employers have an opportunity to play a very important role in reversing the healthcare crisis. Engaging employees in oral health education helps individuals make informed decisions regarding their total health and wellbeing."

About OraMedica International
OraMedica International, LLC (www. oramedica. com) is a dental health and wellness company that provides dental-systemic health educational products, programming, and insurance strategies for large and small businesses, non-profit organizations, and professional practices to lower healthcare costs and increase productivity in the workplace. Their mission is to provide their clients with the most useful integrative and holistic health information, resources, and insight for responsible health choices.

Children’s Disease Linked to Diet and Enzyme Activity

2011-05-18T23:14:00.000-07:00

Children’s Disease Linked to Diet and Enzyme Activity

Many children are enzyme deficient. This deficiency plays a pivotal role in the development of disease, both as children and later as adults. By the time we are middle-aged, many suffer from health issues directly related to enzyme deficiency.

Asheville, NC (PRWEB) August 12, 2006

"Digestive Wellness for Children" is the latest book by nationally known nutritionist Dr. Elizabeth Lipski. The book is a thorough guide for parents, empowering them to create optimum health for their children simply, on a day to day basis.

“Many of children’s health problems such as ADD, obesity, autism, asthma, depression, and diabetes actually stem from poor food choice and faulty digestion,” according to Dr. Lipski. “Much of this illness is preventable, controllable, and curable.” She teaches that we are not what we eat, but what we digest, and digestive depends on maintaining a healthy balance of digestive enzymes.

When there is a lack of the necessary enzymes or an imbalance in a child’s digestive tract, this can result in poor digestion, deficiency of necessary vitamins and minerals and in the long run and disease. According to "Digestive Wellness for Children," we use enzymes for such diverse purposes as making energy, thinking, controlling blood sugar, utilizing nutrients, and removing wastes. Enzymes are made in the body from the proteins we ingest and by recycling ones we’ve already used. Unfortunately, cooked, packaged and processed foods are enzyme depleted. “As these foods are basically what most of our children eat, many children can benefit from enzyme supplementation,” states Dr. Lipski.

According to DicQue Fuller, founder and president of Transformation Enzyme Corporation, who healed her own daughter with enzyme therapy, “Children are treated not by size, but by need. Some children and babies can receive as many enzymes as an adult patient if necessary. There is no evidence that extra enzymes cause any sort of damage, even over a long period of time. However, there is an overwhelming amount of information showing just how depleted of enzymes we are in general, and the negative effects of this on the general population.”

Other ways to maximize your enzyme intake for your children, on a day to day basis, include:

Eating lots of fresh fruits and vegetables Try one new vegetable every week (Let you child pick!) Grow a garden with your children Go shopping at farmers markets and support your local growers!

“What children are fed, and their own ability to create enzymes can be greatly enhanced by taking daily enzymatic supplements to support their health and longevity. It’s never too early to start. Your can give a child enzymes from the first day they come home from the hospital, or to the mother if they’re breastfeeding,” according to Dr. Lipski.

Find more information on using digestive enzymes with children by visiting the enzyme section at www. InnovativeHealing. com/shop (http://www. InnovativeHealing. com/shop). Healthcare professionals can visit www. TransformationHealthSystems. com for more information.

New Company Features Online Personal Training and Nutritional Planning Services

Tired of being out of shape and frustrated? That concern is resolved with an online personal trainer, thanks to Modern Fit Women™, a new online personal training and nutritional planning service based in Phoenix, Arizona.

San Jose, CA (PRWEB) October 20, 2005

Modern Fit Women has programs designed for almost anyone interested in keeping fit according to President, Andi Ross.

"We have programs specifically designed for a variety of women including mature women, business women, new moms, motivated women and full figured women," she says.

Since the online service does not need to maintain a facility, costs are more affordable then a traditional personal trainer or nutritionist, according to Ross. Services range from a basic membership as low as $13 a month to a more customized service for $80 a month.

"My goal is to do everything in my power to help women feel and look their best. I want to help women realize that they do not need to diet for the rest of their life. For optimal success, one must incorporate all three aspects of health; proper nutrition, physical activity, and effective supplementation."

Just because the service is online does not mean it lacks the personal service that is available with a personal trainer or nutritionist at a health spa or gym.

"Each package includes much more," Ross says. "With the help of e-mail we have the ability to provide our clients with access to health professionals throughout the course of their program. In addition, all of our programs offer accountability logs to deliver a higher success rate. We provide our clients with a detailed health and nutrition questionnaire to ensure we design a successful program. Our nutritionists will customize meal plans according to the individual's specific goals, lifestyle, and nutritional requirements. Our meal planning service is truly unique because each meal is carefully planned out every day; our clients will not simply receive a meal template and an exchange list."

Major Hoodia Gordonii Supplement Manufacturer Renames Itself and Goes ÂWhole BodyÂ

2011-05-18T03:35:00.000-07:00

Major Hoodia Gordonii Supplement Manufacturer Renames Itself and Goes ÂWhole BodyÂ.

The premium branded Hoodia Gordonii supplements manufacturer Advanced Diets UKÂ, is building on itÂs success by launching new products Â and in consequence taking on a new name ÂPure Herbal ExtractsÂÂ. Now firmly established as one of the main suppliers of Hoodia based products, Pure Herbal ExtractsÂ chemistÂs are studying and evaluating the latest health research to produce an exciting new range of products. ÂNow that our Hoodia products are firmly established and expanding we are using the latest research to create in demand health supplements to cater for the widest markets possible.Â

(PRWEB) February 6, 2005

ÂDue to the overwhelming success of our Hoodia Gordonii products, we are expanding our product range, using the latest research to produce in demand 'whole body' natural health supplements.Â Said UK wholesaler Vic Carrara.

ÂThe Advanced Diets UKÂ brand name simply doesnÂt reflect our growing product range, so we have decided to adopt the name ÂPure Herbal ExtractsÂÂÂ

Pure Herbal ExtractsÂ (formerly known as Advanced Diets UKÂ), has established itself as one of the World leaders in producing premium Kalahari Hoodia Gordonii products. You might be unfamiliar with their brand name, but a closely guarded secret is the fact that they supply many of the World's leading Hoodia Labels with their own products.

For centuries Hoodia Gordonii was used by African Bushmen to stave off hunger pangs and increase energy, during long hunting expeditions. More effective than glucose, Hoodia Gordonii sends a signal to the brain fooling it into thinking that the body has eaten sufficiently.

ÂFeedback from just some of the thousands of people worldwide that have taken our products, is showing people reducing their intake of calories enough to lose up to two pounds a week with ease.Â

Now firmly established as one of the main suppliers of Hoodia based products, Pure Herbal ExtractsÂ chemistÂs are studying and evaluating the latest health research to produce an exciting new range of products.

ÂNow that our Hoodia products are firmly established and expanding we are using the latest research to create in demand health supplements to cater for the widest markets possible.Â

Known by many children in the USA as a ÂpetÂ, the Chia plantÂs amazing properties as a natural energy booster has been combined with Hoodia to combat the dieterÂs dilemma Â low energy Â in one of the first new products to be launched, Chia Fat Blaster PlusÂ.

Aztec warriors were said to use Chia to as a high energy 'supplement' on their conquests. The Indians of the south west would eat as little as a teaspoon full when going on a 24hr forced march. It is interesting that 500 years later, modern science has concluded that Pre-Columbian diets were superior to present diets. Forced into obscurity, chia now offer a new opportunity to improve human nutrition by providing a natural source of omega-3 fatty acids, antioxidants and dietary fiber.

You can't turn on a television, pick up a newspaper, or go to a doctor's appointment these days without hearing about high blood pressure. It's a sad fact that, according to the American Heart Association, over two million Americans find out they suffer from high blood pressure; of these, more than 45,000 die annually as a result of the condition.

This led Pure Herbal ExtractsÂ to follow research by the US Department of Agriculture, Rutgers University in New Jersey, and recent USDA studies to develop one of the highest potency Blueberry supplements currently available.

ÂThey are such a power packed fruit. Research and studies are indicating that Blueberries can decrease your risk of cancer, help prevent heart disease and stroke by reducing the build up of so-called "bad" cholesterol, guard against Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases, promote urinary tract health, optimize vision health and reversing the causes of blindness Â and the list just goes on.Â

ÂThe main challenge is taking enough of them to see the benefits, which is why we came up with our Blueberry Max supplements. LetÂs be honest, we havenÂt always the time in the mornings to do and eat all the things we know we should do to stay healthy. ThatÂs why we developed our this product.Â

Now Pure Herbal ExtractsÂ are on a global march to spread the news, and help establish distributors worldwide for their products. Anyone that wants high quality health products and at the same time enjoy healthy profits, need to have a look at this company.

Garden of Eve Skin Care Relocates; Featuring a “Start-a-New” Fall Special Offer

2011-05-16T04:11:00.000-07:00

Garden of Eve Skin Care Relocates; Featuring a “Start-a-New” Fall Special Offer

Garden of Eve skin care celebrates the completion of 8 years with an exciting relocation from Afton, Virginia to North Garden, Virginia, followed by a Fall Special “Start-a-New” Offer.

Afton, VA (PRWEB) August 16, 2010

Garden of Eve (http://www. gardenofeveskincare. com/about-eve/) skin care celebrates the completion of 8 years with an exciting relocation from Afton, Virginia to North Garden, Virginia, followed by a Fall Special “Start-a-New” Offer. Expansion is on the Horizon.

An exciting and fruitful eight years have been enjoyed on top of Afton Mountain by Garden of Eve Skin Care, a relatively small company dedicated to promoting safe organic skin care products that are produced based on sustainable, eco-friendly principles.

"The Spring and Summer Season’s have been exceptionally beautiful and inspiring on Afton Mountain, as have the Fall and Winter Seasons been stunningly beautiful yet sometimes a tad harsh. It is clearly time to expand the facility. Looking forward, the new location is expected to afford better accessibility throughout winter. True, one never knows what Mother Nature has in store; the choice of a lower altitude is expected to prove favorable."

During the moving time frame, all deliveries are expected to continue as promptly as ever. However, to avoid possible delays, we suggest that orders be placed by August 22, as the move will take place shortly thereafter, during the end of August.

Following the move, in celebration of this exciting development Garden of Eve is offering a special “Start –a - New” Discount on Eve’s Mud Party (http://www. gardenofeveskincare. com/skin-type/cleansers. html) product for all orders placed during the month of September. The product consists of Dead Sea Mud blended with pure organic steam distilled plant Hydrosols. The significance of choosing this product to represent the ‘new beginning’ of the company's new location, correlates to how the Mud Party is the perfect product for a ‘new beginning’ for the skin. As it cleanses deep yet gently it restores the glow of vibrant radiant skin. It is excellent for removing any build up of summer skin protection products or other product residue. It is a great “start –a-new” for the skin’s smooth, clear texture.

Eve, founder and owner of Garden of Eve Skin Care (http://www. gardenofeveskincare. com/about-eve/), founded the company in January of 2003. Her quest for optimal health lead her through many years of study to learn how to cleanse and rebuild health through nutrition, and other health building techniques. In all her studies the one area that she found to be most lacking of a good solution to an important health dilemma, was that of the trend in body care products manufacturing. She therefore developed Garden of Eve Skin Care to provide a safe, healthy solution for consumers seeking to use safe skin care products. Eve is also active in educating consumers on how to maintain optimal health. Her products are scored “0” health hazard by the campaign for safe cosmetics and the environmental working group.

Garden of Eve produces and distributes 100% safe and ecologically-friendly skin care products for both men and women. visit www. gardenofeveskincare. com. As a proud signer of The Compact for Safe Cosmetics, Garden of Eve manufactures and provides a safe alternative to products that contain harsh chemicals that can seriously harm a person’s health.

What it means for God to interrupt a Pastor's life

A Pastor's personal journey of Sacred Thirst

What he thinks are the challenges facing Pastor's today and what they can do to meet those challenges

A Power Among Work From Home Businesses In Upward Momentum

2011-05-14T05:07:00.000-07:00

A Power Among Work From Home Businesses In Upward Momentum

There’s a new website that documents the many advantages of climbing aboard a certain successful and expanding network marketing phenomenon. Should you heed its call?

Downingtown, PA (PRWEB) January 19, 2006

There is a choice among work from home businesses that clearly is positioning itself to become the premier network marketing dream for entrepreneurs having global ambitions. The website www.100kfromhome. com documents with convincing testimonials and information why a certain company known as Isagenix is currently exploding in the US, Puerto Rico and Canada and is ready “to take additional international markets by storm.”

The website starts off with the opportunity to watch unbiased videos of broadcasts from ABC Channel 4 (Close to Home) and Fox 31 (Spotlight on Health) explaining the documented health benefits of Isagenix with its detoxification and cleansing effects. There is also a video that gives the testimony of six Isagenix million dollar earners that recognized the one-of-a-kind home based business opportunity and acted on it.

Scroll down and hear the four minute introduction to “The Key To Success” by Co-Founder and Executive Trainer Kathy Coover. Kathy and her husband have made millions in the network marketing industry over the years and both see Isagenix as the ultimate way to take advantage of the growing trend toward health consciousness in a toxic environment.”This is the right business at the right time. We provide you with a simple and easy business model to follow that can provide immediate income for you and your family.”

This “Key To Success” can be started with as little as $49 to include a website of your own for a full year. There is also an option to start off with the upgraded “President’s Pack” that provides powerful marketing tools and coaching. The costs seem ridiculously reasonable when considering the impact that it could have on anyone’s physical and financial wellness.

The Income Plan is right there for you to click on and examine as well. It’s important to know that there is a 50% payout to the field and that only two teams are necessary. There is also a most generous $25,000 cap each week per Business Center which would amount to earnings of $1.3 million a year. Three re-entries above the original Business Center are possible to extend the earnings potential to $5.2 million a year. It’s an absolute “take the ball and run” opportunity for network marketers.

Click on the box next to Kathy’s picture and watch the “Health Revolution” movie for more stunning material. You’ll hear Kathy’s husband and Co-Founder Jim Coover state that “We have a unique, extraordinary advantage in that our president and CEO, John Anderson, is probably one of the foremost formulators of nutritional products in history and he has saved the best for Isagenix.” Hear John Anderson then affirm that “We want to bring the highest quality products to our members. We want to be known as the healthiest, happiest people on earth.”

You can hear business testimonials of twelve of those very healthy and happy people right below including that of Jimmy Smith, a 76 year old retired butcher. "In just two short years, with the perfect home business, I am now making more income in a week than I used to make in a year working as a butcher" Jimmy emphasized that this “is like getting a McDonald’s franchise 40 years ago for forty dollars”

The other testimonials are from people from other walks of life including a board certified Gastrointestinal Specialist who said "In less than 2 years, I've replaced my medical income and have decreased my hours by 50%. I now have the option to fully retire from my practice in less than a year..." Any burned out medical professionals out there? Here’s a solution that may be the cure for your stressed-out situation!

Go below and click on the boxes entitled “Better Health”, “More Money/Time”, “Energy” and “Slimmer Body” as well as “Younger Skin” to learn more on doctor testimonials, endorsements by best selling authors and a multitude of other ideas for the betterment of both body and bank account. There’s even a link to “Read Over 100 Success Stories More” to examine real life beneficiaries of the Isagenix phenomenon.

Could the information on www.100kfromhome. com be the catalyst to get you involved with what one doctor described as “the cutting edge dietary company in this country”? Find out the reason thousands of people are joining Isagenix every month instead of other work from home businesses to strive for the health and wealth that they truly deserve.

Brian is an Independent Isagenix Representative and can be contacted by email or see http://victory4u. isagenix. com (http://victory4u. isagenix. com) for more information.

Engage Agro USA Appointed U. S. Distributor of Neudorff’s Fiesta Turf Weed Killer

2011-05-13T08:28:00.000-07:00

Engage Agro USA Appointed U. S. Distributor of Neudorff’s Fiesta Turf Weed Killer

New bioherbicide product is now available for turf managers, lawn care operators and grounds maintenance professionals across the United States thanks to a distribution agreement recently finalized between Engage Agro USA and German-based Neudorff.

Prescott, AZ (Vocus) December 3, 2010

Under a new distribution agreement, German-based Neudorff has assigned exclusive distribution rights to Engage Agro USA to market its new bioherbicide, Fiesta Turf Weed Killer, for all U. S. professional turf markets. The distribution agreement allows Neudorff to expand on the successful 2010 Canadian launch of its new iron-based broadleaf weed killer, Fiesta, into the United States. For Engage Agro USA, Fiesta, is the latest addition to an expanding product portfolio that provides unique crop protection and nutritional solutions to agricultural, turf and ornamental markets in the United States.

According to Trevor Thorley, President, “Fiesta Turf Weed Killer is a bioherbicide that is a great alternative to traditional synthetic chemical weed control products like 2,4-D. Fiesta is made from iron and provides exceptionally fast control of broadleaf weeds under a wide range of temperatures. It even works in cool temperatures as low as 45 degrees.”

Fiesta was registered and approved for use in Ontario, Canada in April 2010 and was quickly incorporated into weed control programs by Ontario professional turf and lawn care companies with excellent results. Cameron Wilson, Vice President of Neudorff’s North American Operations notes that “Due to the province’s cosmetic pesticides ban which went into effect on Earth Day, April 22, 2009, Ontario residents, landscapers and lawn care operators were left with few choices to control tough weeds in lawns, parks, school grounds, playing fields and golf courses. Fiesta was used with great success in Ontario in 2010 to control cosmetic weeds. Fiesta provides fast broadleaf weed control while allowing re-entry to treated sites by golfers, children and pets once the spray has dried. We are very excited about our partnership with Engage Agro USA and look forward to working closely with Trevor Thorley and his team in launching the new bioherbicide Fiesta into key U. S. markets.”

About Engage Agro USA
Engage Agro USA was formed in July 2010 and is building on the successful business model developed in Canada by Engage Agro Corporation, based in Guelph, Ontario.

Genedata Releases Patent Analysis Software Jointly Developed with DSM

Genedata Phylosopher® Biological Data Management System Advances Freedom-to-Operate with Addition of New PatentExplorer Intellectual Property Assessment Module

Basel, Switzerland (PRWEB) July 28, 2010

Genedata, a leading provider of advanced software solutions for drug discovery and life science research, today announced the release of PatentExplorer (http://www. genedata. com/products/phylosopher/modules/patent-sequence-data-management-analysis. html), an interdisciplinary software tool for assessing the patent situation of novel biomolecules and targets. Part of the Genedata Phylosopher® biological data management system, PatentExplorer integrates patent information to provide a comprehensive and structured analysis of patented biomolecule sequences, related claim information, and freedom-to-operate. This facilitates intellectual property evaluation from both a business and a biological standpoint. PatentExplorer was developed in close collaboration with DSM, a leading global life science company with major research programs in enzymes, nutrition, and biotechnology, to streamline DSM's global R&D activities.

"Today's industrial biotechnology market is driven by innovation. Securing the intellectual property of life science research at DSM is crucial in order to retain a competitive advantage," explained Dr. Wim de Boer, Intellectual Assets Manager at DSM. "We chose Genedata (http://www. genedata. com) to help us develop an integrated platform to manage our project intellectual property information because Genedata has significant scientific, technical and business experience and this has been a key factor in the success of this joint development project."

"PatentExplorer integrates directly into DSM's global genome sequence information management system, which is based on the Genedata Phylosopher (http://www. genedata. com/products/phylosopher/genedata-phylosopher. html? L=0) software platform," said Dr. Hans Roubos, Senior Scientist Bioinformatics at DSM. "It provides direct access to the most recent patent information in the context of DSM's in-house genomics research data, which gives much appreciated transparency to decision making."

PatentExplorer's primary applications are in the development of novel enzymes and engineered proteins (http://www. genedata. com/innovation/strain-development. html), as well as freedom-to-operate assessment support. The software can handle commercial data sources as well as publicly available patent information. Genedata's proprietary GeneIndex technology is pivotal for the automated and systematic integration of the often disparate and duplicated DNA, RNA and protein patent sequences.

"We are excited about our successful collaboration with DSM, a long-term partner (http://www. genedata. com/company/customers. html? L=0) of Genedata and one of the most innovative leaders in the industrial biotechnology sector," noted Dr. Othmar Pfannes, CEO of Genedata.

The Diet Solution Program Identifies the Best Way to Burn Fat Naturally

2011-05-12T17:49:00.000-07:00

The Diet Solution Program Identifies the Best Way to Burn Fat Naturally

Ten years ago, licensed nutritionist and exercise specialist Isabel De Los Rios was more than 30 pounds overweight and struggling to figure out the best way to burn fat naturally. De Los Rios tried counting calories, limiting carbs and eating low-fat “healthy” foods, but nothing worked. Eventually, she discovered a natural solution to her dieting woes, lost those excess pounds and is now sharing what she has learned with others.

Florham Park, NJ (PRWEB) June 2, 2010

Author Isabel De Los Rios is excited to announce the addition of vegetarian recipes to the recently updated edition of The Diet Solution Program which focuses on the best way to burn fat. As a licensed nutritionist and exercise specialist, De Los Rios has been able to help 50,000 dieters worldwide figure out the best way to burn fat naturally with The Diet Solution Program at http://www. thedietsolutionprogram. com/ (http://www. thedietsolutionprogram. com/).

Isabel De Los Rios can relate to the frustration many dieters feel. For years she carried an extra thirty pounds on her petite frame and tried every trick in the book to lose the excess weight. De Los Rios counted calories, avoided carbohydrates and reduced her fat and sugar intake, but nothing worked. The promises of fad diets and dangerous pills only left her feeling more confused about the best way to burn fat off her body.

After studying food and its impact on the body, De Los Rios became a certified nutritionist and used her knowledge and scientifically-backed information to develop The Diet Solution Program at http://www. thedietsolutionprogram. com/ (http://www. thedietsolutionprogram. com/). This unique weight loss approach has helped dieters understand the best way to burn fat naturally, enabling tens of thousands of dieters throughout the world to take of those stubborn extra pounds and keep them off.

The Diet Solution Program reveals common dieting myths including how eating the right kind of fat will help you burn fat.

Isabel De Los Rios explains, “If you don’t know what kinds of fat you should be eating, then burning fat will be impossible. We’ve been told by every health guru that fat is what makes people fat. The truth is eating the right kind of fat will burn fat off your body. Eat the wrong kind of fat and your body will store fat.”
De Los Rios encourages dieters to reduce or even eliminate partially hydrogenated oils and instead enjoy good fats like olive oil, coconut oil, avocados and raw nuts.

The Diet Solution Program was created by author, exercise specialist and licensed nutritionist Isabel De Los Rios. Her ten years of hands on experience and thorough understanding of how food impacts the body has enabled her to help tens of thousands of people worldwide lose weight permanently.

What is Fueling the Obesity Epidemic in America?

2011-05-10T20:04:00.000-07:00

What is Fueling the Obesity Epidemic in America?

Leading expert Dr. Greg Tefft explains why Americans have the slowest metabolism rates in the world, what to do about it.

Nashville, TN (PRWEB) July 19, 2006

It is estimated that 60 million Americans are overweight; 4 million are obese; and 3 million are morbidly obese. Why are so many Americans struggling with weight issues? Is it genetics? A hormone imbalance? A virus? Improper diet and inadequate exercise? How about stress?

According orthomolecular medicine expert and researcher Dr. Greg Tefft, “All of these factors are contributing to the problem -- except for the virus theory (which is backed by the NIH but contradicted by the Surgeon General as nonsense). There is one insidious process, however - one root cause - scientifically validated, that is absolutely the common denominator for all of the problems mentioned in the first paragraph above. It's referred to as a Slow Metabolism.”

Dr. Tefft adds that while there are psychological and emotional factors that figure in to weight issues, from a scientifically measurable viewpoint, slow metabolism really is the one primary physical factor common to all people becoming overweight: “As a professional clinician, during my 22 year-long clinical nutrition practice, testing tens of thousands of people, I have seen a huge upsurge of slow metabolic types. Clinically, the US ranks number one in the world for those with slow metabolisms as compared to other countries. The good news is that a slow metabolism can be reversed.”

Dr. Tefft adds that slowing metabolism is often caused by several factors, or a combination of factors, such as:

1. Genetics: There is a genetic influence to fat gain but it is extremely overstated and only represents a minute percentage of metabolic slow-downs which cause overweight problems. The good news is that even genetic tendencies for a slow metabolism and commensurate fat gain, can be reduced significantly.

2. Overeating: This is an obvious reason for gaining weight and in fact, excessive food calorie intake overloads the body which slows metabolism down every time.

3. Improper Eating and Toxic Accumulation: Improper eating is not necessarily to be considered overeating rather; it's a mismatched use of the food families and nutritional supplements in relation to one's own biochemical individuality, inappropriate macronutrient and micronutrient zones and the substitution of junk food in place of highly nutritious foods. All toxic accumulation, from heavy metals to PVC's to lactic acid undermines a fast and healthy metabolism.

4. Lack of Physical Activity: Probably one of the most obvious across-the-board reasons for not stimulating a faster metabolism is too little physical activity.

5. Stress: Negative stress causes changes in the body that deplete certain nutrients, undermine glands, and upset hormone balance thus slowing metabolism.

6. Drugs: All drugs, whether prescription or nonprescription (except stimulants in the short term at least), degenerate a fast metabolism into a slow one.

7. Quick-Fix-It-Mindset : Extreme programs like fasting, over-used stimulants like ephedra and caffeine (and other diet type pills ), no-carb dieting, fat reduction surgery, etc. etc. etc. - all lead to a slower metabolism and multiple fat rebounds.

Finally, adds Dr. Tefft, there are steps individuals can take to speed up metabolism. Dr. Tefft recommends:

*Increased Activity: More exercise helps every time!

*Mind Set: No more quick-fix-it mentality; we act on a commitment to stress management and less dependence on all drugs.

*Personalized Nutrition: A diet and supplement program that is exactly matched to one's degree of nutrient balance within the cells (a. k.a. biochemical individuality, which includes genetic signature and genetic expression).

The recipient of the coveted Reader’s Digest Health Awareness Award, Dr. Tefft stated, “Personalized Nutrition uses over 60 years of medical nutrition research to help people take charge of their own personal health by enabling their own body chemistry to restore balance to mineral and vitamin excesses, deficiencies, ratio imbalances and toxicities. These are the building blocks of health. This program is based on much more than common sense; it is using the power of science to live better, longer, and stronger. It is my goal to bring attention to the crucial importance of nutrition and nutrition measuring as the scientific way to measure, create and maintain health.”

Global Protein Ingredients Market to Exceed US$24.5 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc

2011-05-10T06:28:00.000-07:00

Global Protein Ingredients Market to Exceed US$24.5 Billion by 2015, According to New Report by Global Industry Analysts, Inc.

GIA announces the release of a comprehensive global report on Protein Ingredients market. The global protein ingredients market is projected to grow at a steady pace propelled by three major factors, namely an increasingly health conscious population, growing scientific evidences supporting the advantages of proteins, and rising income levels, particularly in the developing countries. As a result, the market is projected to cross US$24.5 billion by the year 2015.

San Jose, CA (Vocus) September 16, 2010

Protein ingredients play a vital role in the food and feed industries. As a result, protein ingredients continue to gain momentum in the global market despite suffering a minor hiccup due to the global recession in 2008 and 2009. The market’s positive outlook is primarily owing to the scientific advances as well as due to the growing health consciousness in majority of the population.

Europe represents the largest market for protein ingredients, as stated by the new market research report on Protein Ingredients. The US, which accounts for more than one-fifth of the global protein ingredients market is projected to expand at an annual average growth rate ranging between 8% and 9% over the period 2010-2015. Growing significance of Asia-Pacific and other developing regions in the protein ingredients market is evident from the increasing proportion of new product launches in these regions.

Plant proteins, in particular are exhibiting robust growth rates as people across the world are increasingly becoming health conscious. Besides the nutrition factor, the vegetarian movement is significantly contributing to the growth of the plant proteins. The segment is forecast to wrest market share from the animal protein ingredients segment over the forecast period. Soy proteins are finding applications in several food products owing to their economic cost against animal proteins. Extensive promotional activity for soy by companies and changing demographic trends such as increase in aging population represents a major driver for expediting soy protein sales. Growing popularity of nutraceuticals and ready meals globally, and the emergence of niche categories such as sports nutrition and dietary supplements are also bolstering the demand for economic sources of proteins. However, in contrast to the developed countries, demand for animal proteins is reportedly picking up in developing countries due to increasing population and rising income levels.

Key players profiled in the report include Archer Daniels Midland, Armor Proteins, Bunge Alimentos SA, Cargill Health & Food Technologies, Dean Foods Company, Gelita Group, DuPont Agriculture & Nutrition, George Weston Foods, Kellogg Company, Kerry Ingredients Inc., Kraft Foods, MGP Ingredients, Omega Protein Corporation, So Good International, Sonac BV, Tessenderlo Group, and Wacker Chemical Corporation.

The report titled “Protein Ingredients: A Global Strategic Business Report” announced by Global Industry Analysts, Inc., provides a comprehensive review of market trends and issues, industry overview, pricing, product overview, end-use applications, regulatory environment, research & development, technological trends, product introductions/innovations, and recent industry activity. The study also analyzes market data and analytics in value sales for regions such as the United States, Canada, Japan, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Latin America, and Rest of World by the following product segments - Animal Protein Ingredients (Fish, Meat, Milk, Egg, and Gelatin), and Plant Protein Ingredients (Soy and Gluten).
