How far increasing HDL Cholesterol levels may protect your heart?

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 30, 2009 – It has come out from research studies that working hard to increase HDL levels may reduce your risk to develop heart disease or any other heart event in the future. Till now all the work has been done to lower LDL cholesterol.

But it has been shown that, when trying to lower LDL, accidentally you finish to lower HDL levels. Thus, a need to find out the ways to increase HDL cholesterol has spring out.

The importance of HDL in reducing the risk for heart disease is related to its function in the body. Actually, HDL is a lipoprotein which transports cholesterol from the bloodstream back to the liver. So, the blood is cleared from the excessive cholesterol.

At the same time, it can remove the excessive cholesterol from the blood vessels, keeping them safe from the hardening and narrowing. As a consequence, you do not have to fear of heart disease or any other vital organ event anymore.

The principal goal is to succeed on keeping the HDL levels above 50 mg/dl, and non less than 40 mg/dl.

Another important step is to recognize the natural ways of increasing HDL. The first one is related to some Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes which can help increase HDL.

Next, following the right dietary strategy and choosing the right food and avoiding the "wrong" ones, can give a helpful hand to achieve your goal.

Another natural ways is by using some natural supplements, which have been clinically proven to increase HDL cholesterol. Some natural supplements, such as berries, curry, onions, macadamia nuts,  olive oil, fish, dark chocolate are amongst the "magic" supplements to increase HDL. You may have your LDL lowered at the same time.

The last way is by using some medications but with the risk of having side effects. They are prescribed if you fail to increase HDL cholesterol naturally.

Healthy Life | Scheuermann's Disease

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 30, 2009 – http://www.fhslifeinsurance.com

Scheuermann's disease is the most common cause of kyphosis in adolescents. It can occur in the thoracic spine or at the junction of the thoracic and lumbar spine. The various data suggest somewhere between .4 and .8% of the population is affected. There is often a strong family tendency to develop this disorder. It usually begins shortly after puberty. Due

to the kyphosis, or forward deformity of the spine, there is often hyperlordosis of the lumbar spine. This hyperextension of the lumbar spine attempts to compensate for the area bent forward by Scheuermann's disease. Pain is more common when the disorder affects the part of the spine between the thoracic and lumbar region. About one third of people with this disorder will have scoliosis, or a sideward curvature of the spine.

Causes of Scheuermann's Disease

The cause is unknown. It has been thought that herniation of the disc through the endplate into the adjacent vertebral body may play a role. In addition, juvenile osteoporosis and trauma have been mentioned as possible contributing factors.

Signs and Symptoms of Scheuermann's Disease

The symptoms are mainly kyphosis, or forward angulation of the spine. To compensate for this, people hyperextend their low back. Pain may occur in the affected area or in the low back. There may be a history of recent trauma that seems to have precipitated the symptoms. sideward curvature of the spine may be present which produces elevation of one shoulder or prominence of the rib cage on one side.

Add a Dog to the Team to Boost Performance Naturally

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 27, 2009 – It is now known that petting dogs lower blood pressure, reduces stress and it stimulates the brain to release the 'feel good hormones' called Endorphins. Concentrations of β-endorphin, oxytocin, prolactin, β-phenylethylamine, and dopamine increased in both species during interaction. This has resulted in visits of Therapy Dogs to hospitals becoming a common event all over the world to help patients recover and heal. These “magical doggy moments” change lives. But, can a dog help the healthy executive focused upon his business goals? I think so too!  

I truly believe that owning a dog can also have a profound effect on your performance at work, and in many other areas of your life. If you care for your friend and companion you know it loves nothing more than a good long walk. But, it is not the extra exercise that I believe delivers the value. It the actual ” walk time”. Walking the dog gives you this chance to think. Your pooch, (or in my case pooches), is quite happy to mooch around sniffing from pillar to post and doesn’t really need much focus or attention. This leaves you to enjoy the surroundings and drift off wherever you want. It is relaxing, enjoyable and also healthy. But, it can provide much more than that. It can be a time to reflect and think about work, your golf swing, your career, your relationship, whatever your are striving to achieve and improve.  

Google give one day a week off to their employees just to think and play in an areas that interests them  -called Innovation Time Off. Google's Vice President of Search Products and User Experience stated that her analysis showed that 50% of their new product originated from the 20% time. Sun Tzu stated that battles were won in the mind of the generals rather than on the battle field. Thinking is critical to your success. But, having the chance to just “sit back” and think does not come easy. In work, you are bombarded with in-coming emails, calls from the land line and your mobile, MSN chats, Skype, Facebook and Twitter updates, reminders of outstanding tasks popping up on the screen, meetings, text messages, co-workers needing answers -  a million things that actually stop you thinking and keep you in the “real time”. At home it is the wife, the kids, watching your team on the TV, the door bell, the neighbours, no milk, a broken sink or toilet, mowing the lawn, cleaning the car, the pub calling out, etc, etc. Just no time to think!

So, the morning and evening walk you dog needs to poop means you now have that “thinking time”. You are immediately put in a relaxed state of mind by their wagging tail and their enormous enthusiasm and joy at just the sight of you putting your shoes on. They know its thinkies time. Also, the morning walk before work can help with your body clock and helps to “energizing you with sunshine” at the start of the day. These dog walks help review your day and plan for tomorrow or think about that burning issue. They allow you to “day-dream” and possible get out of the box with ideas or inspiration that would not normally come easy at work or within the home. This thinking can help create something new or perhaps even deliver an existing service or product in a different way. It allows you to reflect on the past, drift through the things that worked and why, and find ways of delivering results, more efficiently, more effectively and more economically than you currently do.

So, after the evening walk plus the early morning stroll you will arrive at work with energy, enthusiasm and you will be motivated to make things happen, whilst inspiring your colleagues or subordinates with your new thoughts, ideas, or that ideal solution to a current problem. Combine this with the pure emotional pleasures and joys of owning a dog and I sincerely believe that having a K9 work colleague will improve your team’s performance.

Terry Wilcox works for the Institute of Natural Excellence (www.i-ne.org) as their Channel Director and has two Dalmatians – Domino and Bingo. They get four to five walks a day and he is recognised by all that know him as full of ideas, always comes up with a solution, and immense enthusiasm for all he does. He puts this down to the thinking he does when walking his dogs. They have not asked for a salary as yet, but they do get a regular bonus of a biscuit, bone or chew each.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: New Self-Help Program Helps Eliminate Carpal Tunnel Pain

PR Log (Press Release) – Nov 27, 2009 – Flat Rock, MI - Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can have many causes.  Kathryn Merrow is a Pain Relief Coach who teaches how to eliminate carpal tunnel symptoms.  Kathryn says “the real solution is to first find the cause of the carpal tunnel pain rather than treat only the symptoms.”  

Many times doctors say that Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is idiopathic.  The word “idiopathic” means “no known cause.”  However, Kathryn Merrow shows her readers that there is a treatable reason for almost all pain, including carpal tunnel pain.  The important thing is getting to the root of the pain and then treating those causes.

Kathryn Merrow is a former neuromuscular massage therapist now known as The Pain Relief Coach.  She primarily used neuromuscular massage therapy and other manual therapies as a way of helping people become pain-free or have reduced discomfort.  She believes that when you understand how your body works, what causes pain and the simple steps that can make your body feel and function better, most people can get well naturally.  

Kathryn offers a free special report and audio recording on her website.  This special report is called “Ten of the Top Most Common Causes of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome.”  This report teaches

•   How Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can be relieved naturally.

•   How trigger points cause CTS--and what they are.

•   How your back muscles cause CTS.

•   Steps you can take to start getting rid of your Carpal Tunnel Syndrome right away.

•   How muscles in your neck can cause CTS.

Carpal Tunnel symptom relief can be a reality to so many who suffer with this painful condition.  With the proper understanding of how bodies work and where to look for the cause of pain, relief from carpal tunnel syndrome is possible without surgery.  Kathryn states, “I don’t just tell you how to treat the symptom; I help you find the reason you hurt and get rid of it.”

Its a completely hassle free treatment for fat loss.These are the first machines of its kind in India , based on this technology.

Talking about the growing Indian market of aesthetic fat loss, Mr. Gariboldi added, "We want to change the way people loose fat in India, through education about the non - invasive techniques, and best possible technologies."

Body shaping is the focus here, and not just loosing weight. As Mr. Gariboldi puts it, "its not the fight with the flab, but how you look, when you face the mirror!"

This working methodology of combining Thermo C and Ultra Lipo, is already being used with amazing results all over the world, in countries like Australia, Russia, Dubai, Brazil, Canada, Germany, Spain, and so forth.Till now, 700 machines have been sold all over the world; on an average 50 people on every machine have been treated. Approximately 50000 people treated using this technological combination.

This system is to be found only in high profile clinics, like Gorgeous Skin in India, which is efficiently run under the expert leadership and guidance of Dr. Purnima Mhatre.

Adds Dr. Purnima Mhatre, “Scientific advancements have made aesthetic surgery more and more non-invasive. We would like pioneers like Allesandro to impart knowledge regarding cosmetic methods and help us deliver better solutions.”

India is one of the fastest growing and the most interesting market for aesthetic procedures as the culture of body shaping, being in perfect body shape is relatively new in the country, compared to the American and European markets. The Indian market is booming at a very fast pace, a growth rate of 300 - 400 % over the next one year time period is expected.
