Convincing Research Now Shows How Correct Moderate Exercise Can Add Ten Healthy Years To Your Life

Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) March 5, 2010

Forrest Blanding, author of the informative new Cardiofitness Can Save Your Life (Bascom Hill Books; ISBN 978-1-935098-04-1; April 2009; $ 19.95) reveals from a ten-year scientific analysis of more than five hundred key research studies that regular and, more importantly, correct moderate exercise could add seven to ten healthy years to the life of an average fifty-year-old American.

Blanding notes “The number one key to a better and longer life is a measurable fitness of our heart and its cardiovascular system. Eighty-five percent of our health benefits from exercise derive from cardiofitness.”

Cardiofitness Can Save Your Life examines how many people today are wasting enormous amounts of time doing exercise that may produce only minimal benefit to their health. Cardiofitness does not develop simply from calories of exercise. Blanding says, “It develops best from just two hours per week or about seventeen minutes per day of certain levels of correct monitored exercises that most people can do comfortably.”

The author describes a new Cardio 120 program, and a new Cardio Point method that can show people how to develop the level of cardiofitness they need in order to obtain optimum health.

Blanding provides an easily understandable scientific measure of this cardiofitness (called the CFR which is a percentage of average for age and gender) and describes simple tests for measuring it. Blanding shows that better knowledge of CFR helps to decrease the risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and even Alzheimer’s. You can even use the measuring tool online from the book’s website. It couldn’t be easier to measure your cardiofitness.

Cardiofitness Can Save Your Life is intended for a range of readers from health and fitness professionals and caregivers, to anyone looking for scientifically supported secrets to better health and a longer life.

Cardiofitness Can Save Your Life is available at through Ingram and Baker & Taylor and from the author’s website http://www.cardiofitnesshealth.com.

New Olive Oil Store Product Line Comes to Life, and Makes the Dream of Decadent, Olive Oils and Vinegars a Reality


Riverside, CA (PRWEB) September 22, 2010

Southern California based Cibaria International is launching a new division in response to the growing demand for upscale olive oils and vinegars. Cibaria’s new division, Cibaria Store Supply, is on a quest to make boutique olive oils and vinegars readily available to consumers across the USA. Cibaria Store Supply will offer an array of Olive oils and vinegars from around the world that will journey directly to olive oil boutique stores which allow their customers to experience a “wine tasting” type of experience with each and every visit. Instead of wine, guests taste the olive oils and vinegars and are even educated on proper tasting technique, the differences in use, style, taste qualities, and how they can vary from region to region.

Olive Oil Stores are Exploding in Popularity – and Here’s Why

With more and more discriminating food lovers attempting to re-create the same great dishes that they are accustomed to dining on at their favorite restaurants, it’s no wonder that the demand for high quality ingredients has jumped immensely. While cooking with the finest ingredients isn’t a new concept to many food lovers, health now plays a larger role than ever in creating nutritious meals that awaken the palate. Olive oils and vinegars have recently been spotlighted as the forefront of the demand of healthy ingredients, and Americans are proving that they are growing in their maturity when it comes to tasting and selecting their olive oils.

In fact, Americans are virtually demanding higher quality oils and vinegars as their tastes for superiority mature and become more discerning. While heart disease is the number-one killer in America, olive oil boasts amazing heart-disease fighting properties that olive oil connoisseurs are considering a nice addition to their new preferred ingredient. In 2004, the Food and Drug Administration announced that 2 tablespoons of olive oil per day may lower your risk of heart disease. This breakthrough brought validity to a claim that was once just a rumor among scores of nutritionists. In 2009, a monumental study by Northwestern University found that proteins associated with Alzheimer’s disease are actually deterred by an anti-inflammatory compound that is naturally found is extra-virgin olive oil.

Amazing Quality and Unmatched Personalization

In an era where personal customization is continuously taken to new heights, being able to choose your olive oil’s region, and knowing what crop it comes from is something that many people are finding increasingly novel. Having exact control over your olive oil’s fruitiness or buttery taste, can be an amazing way to personalize any culinary experience. In addition to wonderful oils, balsamic vinegars can range in taste and style, as well as come infused with delicious flavors such as raspberry, cinnamon, and even passion fruit.

Cibaria’s Gourmet Olive Oils and Balsamic Vinegars are available in wholesale and bulk quantities to those in the trade.

Real Life Dr. “McDreamys” Reveal Private Lives


Miami Beach, FL (Vocus/PRWEB) December 01, 2010

Twelve renowned research doctors took a day off recently from leading medical breakthroughs in ground-breaking stem cell research to doff their lab coats, don their casual wear, and give Sabrina a sneak peek into their private lives.

As Executive Director and President of a foundation in her name, Sabrina Cohen used all her available powers of persuasion to convince some of America?s top scientists in the field of Regenerative Medicine to swap out their luminous titles for a day in exchange for being a Pin-Up Man of the Month. The result is the 2011 ?CELLebrity? Doctors Calendar hitting the market just in time for the New Year and charitable contribution season.

?The calendar not only gives us a great candid shot of these men in their own personal environments doing something they love outside of work,? says Sabrina, ?but also gives us a sense of their commitment to this research and changing the way we treat untreatable conditions.?

?Sabrina is a smart, attractive, persuasive, and successful advocate who is passionate about raising money she can put directly into the hands of stem cell researchers?, says Lee Buckler a Foundation supporter and Managing Director of RegenerativeMedicineJobs.com. ?These guys just couldn?t say no.?

The 2011 ?CELLebrity? Doctors Calendar, now featured by the Geoffrey Beene Foundations? Rock Stars of Science program, is available online at http://www.CELLebrityDocsCalendar.com. All proceeds from calendar sales benefit the Sabrina Cohen Foundation for Stem Cell Research, a 501c3 non-profit organization directly funding advanced stages of stem cell clinical research.

The ?CELLebrity? Doctors

Two of the doctors featured in the calendar have already been grant recipients of research funding raised by the Sabrina Cohen Foundation.

Dr. Hans Keirstead, University of California, Irvine (Mr. October and also gracing the calendar?s cover), led his team of researchers to successfully develop a human embryonic stem cell derived treatment for acute spinal cord injury in rats, which was given permission earlier this year by the FDA to proceed with human clinical trials for acute spinal cord injury. The trial, currently underway by Geron Corporation, marks the first human embryonic stem cell trial ever approved in the United States.

“It is our goal,? stated Dr. Kierstead, ?to develop treatments for spinal cord injury. Treatment after treatment…until wheelchairs are a thing of the past.”

Dr. Joshua Hare (Mr. February), of University of Miami?s Interdisciplinary Stem Cell Institute, recently pioneered a new methodology for the treatment of heart attacks by injecting the patient?s own stem cells into their heart, thereby repairing damaged muscle.

The calendar features stem cell researchers focusing on treating and eradicating heart disease, Parkinson’s disease, Amyolotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS, or Lou Gehrig’s disease), Alzheimer’s disease, degenerative eye diseases, Huntington’s disease, cancer, spinal cord injuries and diabetes.

Mr. July, Dr. Robert Lanz, CSO of Advanced Cell Technology, just received a green light for FDA approval for what will be the second embryonic stem cell clinical trial in the United States. The trial will treat 12 patients diagnosed with Stargardt?s Macular Dystrophy, an incurable affliction that destroys vision in young children.

Learning to Draw Encourages Creativity in Other Areas of Life


Chesapeake, Virginia (PRWEB) October 06, 2011

?Drawing Secrets Revealed,? an online drawing course by Sarah Parks, Fine Artist, presents ?Drawing and Brain Research,? a special report that clarifies and supports the link between learning to draw and creativity in other areas of life. It is widely acknowledged by members of academia as well as those in business that while the ?straight-A? student is admirable, the more desirable job candidate is one who is well-rounded, has experience in a variety of disciplines and activities, has developed interests in diverse areas, and can get along well with different kinds of people. This ideal candidate is well-rounded because of creativity-enhancing right-brained activities balancing out the analytical, mathematical, organized left-brained activities.

In this age of severe educational budget cuts and panic about test scores, the arts are suffering. But many educators believe strongly in the value of the arts and want to encourage students to engage in more than simply math and science classes. ?Drawing Secrets Revealed? is a 12-part online drawing video series teaching people to draw using an organized, methodical, and highly effective system, which one can learn about by visiting the lesson previews on Sarah Parks? YouTube channel. This course can be a less expensive professional training for art teachers as well as a cost-effective way to train students to think ?outside the box? to better compete in the global marketplace.

Examples of right-brained activities include painting, ceramics, building, designing, sewing, landscaping, graphic design, decorating, and website design.

There seems to be a definite link between learning to draw and enhancing creativity in other areas of life. Drawing encompasses many skills and mental faculties that translate to other life tasks. Spatial ability is honed which is useful in many situations, such as effectively staging a home to make it more likely to sell in today?s tough real estate marketplace. One of the examples presented in ?Drawing and Brain Research? concerns Dorothy Barak, founder of Specialty Showrooms, who first developed the use of vignettes, or small staged areas, to showcase appliances and furniture in a real-world setting, a tactic now used across the globe in appliance and home furnishing stores. When a person draws, that person is constantly gauging the distances between and within objects and then applying what he or she sees onto the paper. Even if a person has struggled in the past, learning to draw according to an organized, comprehensive instruction plan can make it possible to visualize in ways he or she never could before.

Drawing and painting can facilitate the development of a ?big-picture? mentality if a person is naturally inclined to get tangled up in the details of life. Adopting this ?big-picture? standpoint can provide perspective in steps to take to change a situation and appropriate approaches to difficult problems. Drawing forces the mind to back up from that mass of details and see the larger lines and broader connections that help a person place those details into an orderly composition.

Learning to draw can also help a person become more detail-oriented, which is especially useful if that person tends to see the big picture easily but gets lost in the ?how to? to make that big picture a reality. Drawing trains the mind not only to see the entire subject being drawn, but also telescope in on the details that make up that composition.

Many businesses across the world have embraced this right-brained brand of creativity in their regular and widespread use of thinking maps and diagrams, whereby problems are solved creatively, relationships with consumers and partners are established and strengthened, and new paths are cut through the jungle of global commerce.

Foresight, education, and planning improve the quality of life of Alzheimer’s patients, according to Harvard Medical School’s Alzheimer’s guide

BOSTON, MA (PRWEB) November 12, 2003

November is National Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, an opportune time to educate the public about the basics of the disease, the advances in medicine, and the outlook for the future. Harvard Health Publications, the publishing division of Harvard Medical School, has published A Guide to Alzheimer’s Disease to assist family members, patients, and caregivers in understanding and coping with Alzheimer’s.

Although a cure has not yet been discovered, early diagnosis has become increasingly important to help delay the worsening of symptoms and allow patients and caregivers to plan for the future. However, reaching an accurate diagnosis can be complicated and uncertain. A Guide to Alzheimer’s Disease provides an informative foundation that not only outlines warning signs and possible risk factors, but also equips readers with specific ways to recognize symptoms.

The report guides readers through the entire diagnosis process from finding a physician to understanding the types of tests performed. By knowing what to expect and how evaluation for Alzheimer’s is conducted, patients and caregivers will be better prepared to make informed decisions.

While diagnosis can be disheartening, A Guide to Alzheimer’s Disease offers a hopeful look for the growing population affected by the disease. The report covers:
