Rejuvenating Enzyme Facial Peel, Now Available at L'Bri Pure n' Natural Skincare

Rejuvenating Enzyme Facial Peel, Now Available at L'Bri Pure n' Natural Skincare

Rejuvenating Enzyme Facial Peel, made with natural fruit enzymes of green papaya, calming pineapple and stabilized aloe vera gel, works to dissolve dead skin cells without acids. Helps to dramatically improve skin tone, clarity and texture for a healthy, vibrant complexion. Visibly see the dead skin cells roll off! Excellent for all skin types including those with rosacea, sensitive and acne prone skin.

Ivins, UT (PRWEB) July 7, 2006

Our new facial peel is an enzyme exfoliation treatment that is deliciously scented with natural grapefruit, tangerine and orange. It will enhance the visual clarity of the skin and improve skin's texture, and can be used by all skin types. The results are immediate and will leave the skin feeling incredibly supple and soft.

One of the latest breakthroughs in skin care and anti-aging is enzymes.

Enzymes are special organic substances that speed up the exfoliation process by gently dissolving dead skin cells. The skin is a rich reservoir of enzyme activity. Recent studies have shed new light on the dependence of skin structure on enzyme chemistry. Our skin is steadily sloughing off dead and damaged cells so new and healthy ones can take over. Young skin cells look plump, pink and healthy. Dead skin cells look flat, dull and gray. As we age, this sloughing of dead and damaged cells slows down from 15 days from when were born to 45 days by the age of 60. Over time, the accumulated layers of dead skin grow thicker and stiffer. The skin begins to crease easily, forming fine lines and building up deep wrinkles. The softening and breaking down of impacted layers of dead skin can be accomplished very efficiently by a protein-dissolving enzyme called papain, found only in papaya. Papain is at the peak of its enzymatic activity just before the papaya ripens, when the fruit is still green.

In all of our formulations we use fresh, active ingredients as much as possible. The papain which is used in our Rejuvenating Facial Peal comes from newly peeled citrus fruit zests to cold expression of green papaya.

The quality of freshness and potency is assured only when formulated in small batches in our laboratory.

This powerful enzyme from papain is able to dissolve dead and damaged cells readily, while leaving new and healthy ones intact. This action of dissolving the layer of dead skin cells instead of loosening and lifting them off is a more gentle method of exfoliation. Now you

Can enjoy the full benefits of a natural facial peel in your own home safely, gently and affordably.

We have also added other significant skin-improving ingredients and antioxidants such as Hylauronic Acid, a super moisture carrier found naturally in your skin which diminishes with age; Ginseng, which aids in the revitalization and reactivation of epidermal cells; Green Tea Leaf and Grape Seed Extract, which are both powerful antioxidants; vitamins A and E along with Sodium PCA, a high-performance humectant due to its moisture-binding ability.

The beautiful golden yellow color of the facial peel comes naturally from Beta Carotene, a form of vitamin A which comes from vegetables.

To use the product you would apply the facial peel to clean, dry skin and work the product into the skin with circular upward and outward motions. Once the desired peel is achieved rinse with warm water, pat dry and follow with L'Bri's Freshener. From the first time you use this product, you will be able to feel and see, yes, you will actually see tired, dead skin particles being lifted off the skin. You will be amazed when you see your old skin cells being sloughed away, and of course seeing is believing. Everyone who has tried the facial peel has fallen in love with it. As you will discover, the effectiveness it provides is impressive.

The facial peel is also available in a 'one-time use' sample packet. So be sure to choose the Peel as a free gift with your order of $60 or more and share it with a friend.

L'Bri's new Facial Peel is considered a specialty product which incorporates advanced technology and can be safely used by all ages and all genders. It will be especially beneficial for those who have highly sensitive skin, rosacea, thin, sun-damaged skin, and acne challenges. Since enzymes are very effective on aging skin, the new Facial Peel will be tremendously beneficial for the more mature complexion.

We're excited about being one of the very first to bring this new advanced form of exfoliation to the market. L'Bri's philosophy is to create unparalled products that are proven to be safe, pure and effective. We have once again accomplished this with our new Rejuvenating Enzyme Facial Peel.

Wyoming School District Gets Robust, Low-Maintenance Computer Security with AVG and Walling Data

Wyoming School District Gets Robust, Low-Maintenance Computer Security with AVG and Walling Data

Technology coordinator discovers positive sticker shock and cost-effectiveness can co-exist

Newton, NC (PRWEB) March 25, 2010

Overseeing the reliability and security of Crook County School District’s (CCSD) networks - consisting of 1,000 workstations and 18 servers - is a major responsibility for technology coordinator Howard Bjornestad. The 250 staff members and 1,000 students in grades K-12 not only rely on Bjornestad to keep the networks up and running smoothly; they also turn to him for help when they encounter problems with technology issues. All of this means that Bjornestad is always on the lookout for ways to save time.

Until three years ago, CCSD had relied on Trend Micro to take care of its anti-virus needs, but Bjornestad was finding that the maintenance aspect was consuming more and more of his time. He was convinced there had to be a better solution.

“While TrendMicro was keeping all of our machines healthy, it was really hard for me to tell which computers were updated and which needed attention,” noted Bjornestad. “I would have to go around to each machine and manually check or update them, which is simply not feasible for 1,000-plus machines – especially when the updates need to be done so frequently. I needed to find a solution with better management functionality.”

Bjornestad conducted an analysis of the most popular anti-virus products, looking particularly for efficiencies on the management and maintenance side. Cost was also a consideration, as it always is for educational institutions.

“My research showed that only AVG met all of our requirements,” said Bjornestad. “It also had an incredibly easy-to-use central administration console, which looked like it could really save me some time. I was also gratified to see plenty of praise from users as I went through my review process. And the educational pricing was the icing on the cake.”

To validate his selection from a security perspective, Bjornestad tried out AVG’s free consumer product on a personal computer and was sold on the product’s effectiveness after just a few days.

Walling Data fulfils the AVG promise – and then some!

After making the decision to migrate CCSD’s network to AVG, Bjornestad set out on the hunt for an appropriate distributor.

“I came across Walling Data early in my search, and was impressed by the great reviews of their pricing and customer service,” he noted. “Walling Data was tagged as the top AVG distributor in the country, so I knew they had to be doing something right. I gave them a call and found out quickly why so many folks like doing business with them.”

Bjornestad requested a quotation for 800 two-year licenses of AVG Anti-Virus Network Edition. “I thought I was dreaming when I saw the bottom line,” he said. “If there’s such a thing as positive sticker shock, that’s what I had. Thanks to Walling Data’s school discounts, AVG was far less expensive than I thought it would be.”

And that was before he then learned that, by purchasing through Walling Data, CCSD was eligible for free and unlimited phone and remote support for the duration of the license agreement. “When I saw that, it was a done deal,” recalled Bjornestad

Three years on, he is still convinced he made the right decision when he went with AVG. The district is now upgrading to the latest version, with the help of a little of that free support.

“AVG 8.5 does an excellent job at protecting our network. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend AVG and Walling Data to anyone who needs a robust, cost-effective anti-virus solution.”

North Carolina-based Walling Data, North America’s leader in security software distribution, is the nation’s first and highest volume distributor of both AVG Internet Security and avast!

CARE Media Holdings Corp Turns Negative Wait Time Into a Positive Learning Experience

CARE Media Holdings Corp Turns Negative Wait Time Into a Positive Learning Experience

Out-of-home digital media programming is fast becoming the affordable advertising alternative to reach target audiences.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 12, 2008

Point-of-care is the preeminent venue to deliver relevant consumer messages to an engaged, captive audience. Patients typically wait an average of 25 minutes in a doctor's reception area before moving to an exam room; doctors are increasingly concerned about providing reliable, valuable information to their patients while they wait.

Using state-of-the-art, high-definition digital media to air educational healthcare content pertinent to viewers, and endorsed by physicians, CARE Media has begun targeting viewers in veterinary, pediatric, and OB/GYN offices across the country. Out-of-Home Digital Networks are the fastest-growing segment of the marketing and communications industry and new digital media are forecast to grow at a rate of over 20 percent a year (source: TNS Media Intelligence Report). Tampa-based, CARE Media Holdings Corp is filling this information gap by providing programming in this new media to thousands of doctors' offices across the United States.

Through their brands, PetCARE TVTM, KidCARE TVR, and Women's HealthCARE TVTM, CARE Media is reaching millions of consumers. Their target audience is women ages 25-34, with two children at home and an average family income of $55,000, who are especially predisposed to gathering healthcare information for their families.

Each network in the CARE Media family targets a niche of consumers, offering advertisers a unique and affordable way to reach a target audience through integrated marketing and multi-platform opportunities. In addition, CARE Media programming airs on networks that are all fully audited by Nielson and Arbitron, ensuring advertisers can substantiate their ROI.

"At CARE Media we reach beyond the top 100 DMAs to guarantee our advertisers maximum ad exposure and optimal accountability," explains Phillip M. Cohen, CARE Media's president and CEO. "We continually monitor our audience via industry standards and utilize new research tools that allow advertisers daily access to audits and reporting methodology."

Women are considered the prime market by potential advertisers and Lucid Marketing estimates that 80 percent of household spending is directed by Moms, yet, moms are extremely busy, devoting less and less time to media. While research shows that moms are most receptive to newspaper and magazine ads, they actually spend very little time reading.

A doctor's reception area provides the perfect setting to deliver specific advertising messages to an engaged audience, predominantly women, unable to skip ads or channel surf. CARE Media's continual program loop is like a traditional television schedule, interspersing informational segments with commercials and billboard ads. The frequency of ad rotation ensures each patient exposure to target ads during their wait time. According to a study by The Parenting Group, moms are 50 percent more open to advertising in a doctor's office.

WHERE MOMS ARE MOST OPEN TO ADVERTISING

Newspapers  58%
Magazines 53%
Doctor's office  50%
Public transportation 48%
Movie theaters  43%

SOURCE: The Parenting Group

CARE Media has developed a medical advisory board to ensure the validity, accuracy, and relevance of all programming provided. "We work with doctors all the time to make sure that the content of programming we provide allows patients to open up a dialog with their doctor in order to ensure that patients get all the information they need to make good medical decisions," says Cohen. "Adjacent advertising within relevant segments results in increased ad attentiveness and effectiveness, along with the perceived endorsement of their doctors."

KidCARE TV

KidCARE TVR digitally delivers programs to heighten a mother's awareness of pediatric wellness issues and improve collaboration between parents and pediatricians. The network targets the 60,000 pediatrician members of the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The AAP reports an average of 26.5 minutes waiting time to see a pediatrician. These waiting room/exam rooms provide "the Captive Audience", of women age 25-34 with children 1 week to 16 years of age.

PetCARE TV

PetCARE TVTM offers exciting client education tools that allow veterinary professionals the opportunity to further promote companion animal health and welfare to pet owners. PetCARE TV is hosted by nationally-known media veterinarians, Dr. Jeff Werber and Dr. Bernadine Cruz. Companies such as K9 Advantix, Purina, Nestle, Frontline, and Fox Movie Corp. currently advertise. PetCARE TV also has an interactive online site, www. MyPetCARETV. com, which provides pet owners a forum to interact with other pet owners and with veterinarians.

Women's HealthCARE TV
Women's HealthCARE TVTM specifically addresses the growing number of obstetric and gynecological health care issues women face on a daily basis. Spanning the range from puberty through pregnancy and beyond through menopause, Women's HealthCARE TV will cover topics such as urinary disorders, mammograms, heart disease, infertility, pregnancy issues by trimester, and sexually transmitted diseases such as HPV. Roll-out began October 1, 2008 in 100 beta sites. Throughout the remainder of 2008, subscribing offices will receive installation with the expectation of 1,000 offices enlisted by January 1, 2009. Expansion will continue throughout 2009 with growth expectations reaching 2,500 offices by the end of Q4 2009.

About CARE Media Holdings Corp
CARE Media Holdings Corp (Care Media), through its brands PetCARE TVTM, KidCARE TVR, and Women's HealthCARE TVTM, delivers advertiser-supported educational programming to millions of consumers through veterinarian, pediatrician, and OB/GYN offices throughout North America. The captive audience networks, PetCARE TV, KidCARE TV, and Women's HealthCARE TV, broadcast short informational video segments interspersed with relevant advertising at point-of-care, educating caregivers on pertinent healthcare issues and encouraging viewer/physician discussion during the examination. Care Media bridges the gap of wait time before medical appointments, using new high-definition digital media to air its content which is all produced in-house. PetCARE TV offers direct-to-consumer television programming to nearly 4,000 subscribing veterinary hospitals and clinics. KidCARE TV, launched in October 2007, operates in over 2,500 pediatric offices. Women's HealthCARE TV, targeting women of all ages, has just been released in OB/GYN offices across the country.

EKGCard, the worldÂ’s smallest and lightest 12-channel electrocardiograph device available in the medical device market today, is ideal for use by physicians and nurses on PDAs

MINNEAPOLIS (PRWEB) June 24, 2003 -

Based medical devices contained entirely in computer cards, announces that the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued 510K approval for QRS to market its new EKGCard™ diagnostic electrocardiograph. It is the world’s smallest and lightest 12-channel electrocardiograph device available in the medical device market today. The new EKGCard measures 2.1 inches x 5.5 inches x 1.0 inch and weighs only 3.2 ounces. It is ideal for physicians to use on Personal Digital Assistants (PDAs).

“We designed our new EKGCard to further leverage and support physicians’ increasing adoption of PDAs for use at the point-of-care,” says Spencer Lien, chief executive officer, QRS Diagnostic. “With our patented technology, our new EKGCard turns standard PDAs into handheld diagnostic instruments and advances our growing line of affordable, upgradeable, and mobile PC Card medical devices.”

“The new EKGCard from QRS is the ultimate combination of quality, ease-of-use, portability and affordability,” says Jeffrey K. Pearson, D. O., medical director of Medicine-in-Motion, a family practice and sports medicine clinic in San Marcos, Calif.

The new EKGCard from QRS Diagnostic utilizes the companyÂ’s patented PC Card technology to build the intelligence of electrocardiography data acquisition entirely into a Type II (PCMCIA) PC Card. Also, with the new device, the electrode leads connect directly to the PC Card itself, thereby eliminating the need for a separate cable between the device and the leads. By simply sliding EKGCard into the PC Card slot of an off-the-shelf PDA, a physician or nurse instantly has a light-weight, portable, and full-function 12-channel diagnostic device.

The company’s current software-based electrocardiograph device connects to computers via USB and serial ports. QRS Diagnostic continues to sell the device worldwide under a new product name, Universal ECG™, primarily for use with notebook, laptop and desktop PCs.

Founded in 1994, QRS Diagnostic, Plymouth, Minn., uses innovative software technology to design and develop FDA-approved medical devices that simplify and reduce the costs of diagnostic testing and patient monitoring. With our patented computer card technology platform, QRS turns PDAs, laptops and handheld PCs into modular, upgradeable and portable medical devices and streamlines the collection and communication of precise physiological data. We enable primary care physicians to cost-effectively practice high-tech medicine while delivering the accuracy that specialists and hospitals demand. The affordability, durability and mobility of QRS devices also advance wireless patient monitoring for disease management, home healthcare and personal health management.

Save the Children Provides Songs with Lifesaving Health and Nutrition Advice to Haitian Radio Stations

Save the Children Provides Songs with Lifesaving Health and Nutrition Advice to Haitian Radio Stations

Creole Songs with Tips on Breastfeeding and Basic Hygiene to Help Save Babies' Lives During Upcoming Rainy Season

Ferndale, WA (Vocus) February 17, 2010

Port-au-Prince, Haiti (PRWEB) February 16, 2010 -- In anticipation of the dangers threatened by the upcoming rainy season in Haiti, after the devastating earthquake in January, Save the Children is providing broadcast-quality songs in Creole, along with public service messages, to radio stations to spread lifesaving health and nutrition advice.

The songs provide Haitian mothers with simple tips and hints about breastfeeding, feeding and hand washing to enable them to better protect their newborn babies and children against preventable diseases and malnutrition.

"The rainy season is approaching in Haiti. And we know that stagnant water and poor sanitation provide a fertile breeding ground for malaria and diarrhea, which are among the biggest killers of babies and young children," said Kathryn Bolles, Save the Children's director of emergency health and nutrition. "These diseases are easily preventable and treatable. So it is crucial for people in the camps to have access to accurate information in their language so they have the tools to protect their children.”

Radio Project Co-Produced Before the Earthquake
The project, a collaboration with the Ministry of Health and with support from the U. S. Agency for International Development, produced Creole songs and public service announcements before the earthquake, working with local communities and children. The songs will be aired on local radio stations and Creole services provided by international broadcasters.

"Few people have television or electricity, but they are accessing information by radio. Plus, music is natural entry point," said Bolles. "When people hear a song they like, they are likely to remember the tune and the message. This is an effective way to better save the life of newborns and babies. Action taken today could save a baby's life tomorrow."

Rainy Season Poses Increased Threats from Waterborne Diseases
The rainy season, which begins mid-to-late March, increases the threat of waterborne disease and of disease-spreading mosquitoes, especially in the crowded camps that have sprung up throughout Haiti's capital city since the recent quakes. Save the Children's mobile clinics and medical teams are already seeing cases of diarrhea, malaria and respiratory infections.

The organization's staff is monitoring illnesses in camps, assessing the status of pregnant women and vulnerable children, and pre-positioning specific medications and supplies in preparation for a possible spike in disease when the rains come. About 170 health workers -- including midwives and auxiliary nurses -- are working with communities to encourage exclusive breastfeeding and to provide hygiene, nutrition and other health information.

Save the Children also is working hard to improve sanitation and bring clean water to families in temporary encampments. It has recently scaled up the distribution of shelter items, with a plan to reach 70,000 families over the coming weeks. About 12,000 displaced children and adults now have access to latrines, water points and bathing areas installed by Save the Children.

To complement the health programs and as part of its ongoing livelihoods work, Save the Children is hiring laborers to help clear or dig drainage ditches in and near camps where it works.

Save the Children has been assisting children and families in Haiti for more than three decades. With about 350 staff on the ground in Haiti, the agency has reached nearly half a million people affected by the recent earthquakes.

Unexpected Partnership Portrayed In Verbal Album: If You Knew You Were Dying, What Would You Be Thinking and Talking About?

Unexpected Partnership Portrayed In Verbal Album: If You Knew You Were Dying, What Would You Be Thinking and Talking About?

Author and social worker, BJ Appelgren, will be signing her life affirming non-fiction book, The Transparent Feather, (Zillah, Inc. Charles Town, WV) at the Ohio River Festival of Books, a celebration of West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky's contributions to writing at the Third Ohio River Festival of Books on April 29, 2006. She will be at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena Conference Center in Huntington, WV from 9 a. m.-11 a. m and at Borders on 120 Huntington Mall in Barboursville from 1 p. m.-3 p. m.

Charles Town, WV (PRWEB) April 20, 2006

Author and social worker, BJ Appelgren, will be signing her life affirming non-fiction book, The Transparent Feather, (Zillah, Inc. Charles Town, WV) at the Ohio River Festival of Books, a celebration of West Virginia, Ohio, and Kentucky's contributions to writing at the Third Ohio River Festival of Books on April 29, 2006. She will be at the Big Sandy Superstore Arena Conference Center in Huntington, WV from 9 a. m.-11 a. m and at Borders on 120 Huntington Mall in Barboursville from 1 p. m.-3 p. m.

Appelgren is going through a period of uncertainty about the purpose of her life. She is introduced to Berry Morgan by a hospice nurse who is a mutual friend. Contrary to BJ’s usual inclinations, she agrees to meet Berry who is living out her days in a nursing home. BJ learns that Berry is a prize-winning fiction author and well-regarded Southern writer who wrote for The New Yorker from 1966-1988.

The two women work out a unique partnership. BJ will transcribe Berry's memoirs to leave to her family, and in return, Berry will help improve BJ's expository writing, hoping to transform her clear declarative sentences into something more literary. The unanticipated friendship at a critical time in both women's lives brings laughter and surprises to both of them. While they embark on an odyssey of pondering their life stories, Berry causes BJ to re examine the inner turmoil of her baffling perceptions regarding death and the mystery of after-life.

The elder's optimistic influence does not end with her death. Unexpected events conspire to bring The Transparent Feather to a life-affirming conclusion, and BJ, herself, to a belated coming of-age. This book speaks to anyone whose rational outlook may have gotten in the way of appreciating the true meaning of intuitive experience.

BJ Appelgren has been an artist, teacher, potter, executive director of a non-profit agency, counselor, and writer of an alternative health newsletter--but it is in writing 'literature,' she has re-discovered art as revelation. Originally from Chicago, she has been living in the Shenandoah Valley of West Virginia for over twenty-eight years.

“I think the aspect I liked the best was

How as Berry’s story faded and failed,

Yours grew stronger and took her place.

There was a sublime and touching passing of the order.

I also enjoyed the authentic way you explored the writing process.

You revealed it, you didn’t ‘how to’ it.

-Robert Dixon Bell, History Teacher, Glengary WV

N. A.C. H. Launches Child Health Policy Blog, With All Our Might

N. A.C. H. Launches Child Health Policy Blog, With All Our Might

The National Association of Children’s Hospitals (N. A.C. H.) recently launched a new blog focused on child health policy issues. With All Our Might elevates child health issues that are often overlooked in public policy discussions on health care.

Alexandria, VA (Vocus) April 27, 2010

The National Association of Children’s Hospitals (N. A.C. H.) recently launched a new blog focused on child health policy issues. With All Our Might elevates child health issues that are often overlooked in public policy discussions on health care. The blog provides insight into child health policy issues and the impact they have on how health care is delivered to children in the United States.

“Through With All Our Might, we hope to build an ongoing dialogue among those who work on child health policy issues, provide medical care to a child or are the parents of a child who has been ill or suffers from a chronic condition,” said Lawrence A. McAndrews, president and CEO of N. A.C. H. “Our aim is to give a voice to those children whose needs are often marginalized in favor of those who have a stronger presence among policy makers.”

The blog is hosted by Aimee Ossman, director of policy analysis for N. A.C. H. and a proud mother of two boys. An experienced blogger, Ossman also writes the Kids’ Health blog for Working Mother online.

“The title sums up the efforts by advocates who work on behalf of children or attend to their needs on a regular basis: we do it with all our might,” says Ossman. “It takes energy and passion to give voice to the health care needs of children.

Bag-in-Box School Milk Initiative in Latvia

Bag-in-Box School Milk Initiative in Latvia

Milk dispensers in schools help to increase children's milk intake.

Düren (PRWEB) March 10, 2007

The Government of Latvia is keen to promote the drinking of milk in its schools as part of a countrywide drive to increase nutritional intake by young children. In April 2006, an initiative was launched in a secondary school in the capital Riga, using bag-in-box catering dispensers.

The concept was initiated by Rigas Piena Kombinats (RPK), the largest milk processing enterprise in Latvia RPK worked closely with two other companies on this initiative, Autonumis and Rapak. Autonumis is a leading manufacturer of dispensing machines and Rapak is one of the world's largest suppliers of liquid packaging and dispensing technologies.

Combining their expertise, these three companies have already had a major impact on the drinking of milk in Latvian schools with consumption having rocketed in the last four months of 2006. The advantages of using dispensers for school milk include ease of use, convenience and hygienic dispense of a 200 ml measure without any wastage or mess. There is also the important benefit that the milk is always kept at just the right cool temperature for drinking.

At the moment, the age limit for free milk is 11 years. Already a great success in schools throughout Latvia, volume of bag-in-box milk consumption could triple in the next few months, should the Government agree to extend the scheme to the 11-16 year age group. The scheme is going down well with the children themselves and research has been monitoring the impact of the initiative. Initial results found that:

 65% of children are happy to use the bag-in-box milk dispensers.  Some schools reported that the dispensers were used by 100% of their pupils.  What's more, 100% of the children surveyed liked the idea of using a dispenser for milk and the drinking of milk was rapidly made more popular with them.  88% of the school staff surveyed said that the use of dispensers facilitated their task of running the school milk programme.

Clearly, the school milk initiative has been a huge success, encouraging milk consumption and health among young students in Latvia.

New Research Shows Connection Between Lovemaking and Improved Health

New Research Shows Connection Between Lovemaking and Improved Health

A series of new studies are looking at the ways a loving and sexually fulfilling relationship affects your health from heart disease to Alzheimer's to aging slower and living longer.

(PRWEB) April 27, 2005

How would you like to relieve stress, heal wounds, protect yourself from prostate cancer, relieve pain and boost your cardio fitness all at the same time? New research is showing many benefits of lovemaking that have been long underrated. In describing how it helps your overall health, increasing attention is being given to three neurotransmitters released by the brain before, during and after sex.

1) Oxytocin promotes sexual bonding, keeping marriages alive and is stimulated by touch - massage or simply holding hands. Women who have more sex have higher levels of oestrogen, which is essential for healthy and smooth skin. An increase in oestrogen also helps to protect us from heart disease, Alzheimer's and osteoporosis.

2) Endorphins provide natural relief from the pain of arthritis, injury, even migraines. Endorphins enhance the immune system by fighting stress, dampening the harmful hormones that stress stimulates.

3) Serotonins kick in after endorphins have induced that lovely "high”. Serotonins are released during sex, which promote the very real afterglow of sex and brings relaxation and relief from stress.

A loving and sexually fulfilling relationship is not always easy to achieve. People are so busy that taking time to enjoy sexuality may seem like a challenge. Many people are turning to natural health remedies to enhance their sexual energy.

African Fly (www. africanfly. com) is a liquid aphrodisiac that can be used by both women and men to naturally increase the production and release of testosterone which is the main hormone for boosting sexual energy in the human body. Brian Ayers, the founder of Genesis BioTech, Inc. which produces African Fly says, “While people have no problem taking supplements, many are just now realizing how a sexual supplement can also fit into their lives”.

An active sex life can aid us in living longer too. According to Dr David Weeks, clinical neuropsychologist at Scotland's Royal Edinburgh Hospital, who conducted a study on a group of 3,500 people – ranging from 18 to 102 – sex actually slows the ageing process. Sex also leads to greater health and consequently a younger look.

World Population Day 2009

World Population Day 2009

Investing in women and girls: cost-effective and smart economics, says UNFPA

United Nations, New York, NY (Vocus) July 10, 2009

Investing in women and girls during the global financial crisis will help set the stage for economic recovery and reduce inequality and poverty, according to Thoraya Ahmed Obaid, Executive Director of UNFPA (http://www. unfpa. org/public/), the United Nations Population Fund. "There is no smarter investment in troubled times," added Ms. Obaid in her statement for World Population Day, which falls on Saturday, 11 July.

Women and girls were the majority of the world's poor, even before the current financial crisis, said Ms. Obaid. "Now, they are falling deeper into poverty and face increased health risks, especially if they are pregnant." For World Population Day, she added, "I call on all leaders to make the health and rights of women a political and development priority."

In developing countries, women's health has critical economic importance. Women are more than half the agricultural labour force. They grow 80 per cent of staple crops in Africa, and in South-east Asia, 90 per cent of rice growers are women.

Investing in reproductive health is especially cost-effective, noted Ms. Obaid, adding, as an example, "an investment in contraceptive services can be recouped four times over--and sometimes dramatically more over the long term--by reducing the need for public spending on health, education and other social services."

In a separate statement, United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon called on decision-makers to "protect women's ability to earn income, keep their daughters in school, and obtain reproductive health information and services, including voluntary family planning.

"Together," added Mr. Ban, "let us advance the rights of women and girls, and empower them as highly productive members of society capable of contributing to economic recovery and growth. There can be no better investment on this day or any other."

Since 1990, governments and their national partners have been marking World Population Day with a variety of activities and events focusing on the importance of population to overall development strategies. This year's 20th anniversary of the Day coincides with the 40th anniversary of UNFPA and the 15th anniversary of the historic International Conference on Population and Development that guides UNFPA's work.

UNFPA, the United Nations Population Fund, is an international development agency that promotes the right of every woman, man and child to enjoy a life of health and equal opportunity. UNFPA supports countries in using population data for policies and programmes to reduce poverty and to ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe, every young person is free of HIV/AIDS, and every girl and woman is treated with dignity and respect.

Survey of Snore No More Therapeutic Ring Users Shows Significant Reduction in Snoring

Survey of Snore No More Therapeutic Ring Users Shows Significant Reduction in Snoring

Snore No More Therapeutic Ring found to effectively reduce snoring in 7 out of 10 users in a survey facilitated by Tanya Mei-Tai Coon, an Eastern Medicine practitioner in Denver, Colorado.

Boulder, CO (PRWEB) September 12, 2006

A sleep and snoring behavior survey facilitated by Tanya Mei-Tai Coon, an Eastern Medicine practitioner in Denver, Colo. found that the Snore No More Therapeutic Ring effectively reduced snoring in 7 out of 10 users. Those participants found that wearing the simple, pain-free Snore No More Therapeutic "pinkie ring" while sleeping helped to reduce or eliminate their snoring, and contributed to an overall better night’s sleep.

The sterling silver ring is worn on the left pinkie finger, positioned between the knuckle and first joint. The inside of the ring holds two slightly raised bumps that apply pressure to the acupoints along the finger. Acupressure is an ancient healing art developed in Asia over 5,000 years ago that uses pressure on key points on the surface of the skin to stimulate the body's natural self-curative abilities.

"The two prongs on the inside of the Snore No More Therapeutic Ring press on the heart meridian and the sterling silver metal also gives energy to this channel," says Tanya Mei-Tai Coon, an Eastern Medicine practitioner in Denver, CO. "Wearing the ring increases energy flow to what is referred to as the upper jiao, which contains the heart and lungs. This allows for improved breathing, which leads to the cessation of snoring."

Approximately 30 percent of the population under 40 years of age and 50 percent of the population over 60 snore. It is estimated that 50 percent of all men snore and 40 percent of all women. Snoring can not only cause severe relationship strain, but also serious health problems such as sleep deprivation, high blood pressure and hypertension.

Since the Snore No More Therapeutic Ring was featured in USA Today on February 28 (*Go to http://www. snorenomore. net/images/2_26_06.pdf (http://www. snorenomore. net/images/2_26_06.pdf) for the full article), close to 5,000 new customers have bought the ring. With a one-time $45 purchase, people across the country are finally having a good night's sleep.

"I'm almost afraid to send this email for fear of jinxing myself but I can't believe that two little pressure points on a ring placed on the little finger can reduce snoring by at least 85% in anyone and especially my husband. I saw the article in USA Today and literally ran to the computer to order it. It has been wonderful to finally get a decent night's sleep after forty-three years of marriage. Marital bliss!!!!" N. B., Dayton, OH

It's important to note that for some users it may take 2-3 weeks for the ring to begin working. For more information or to order the Snore No More Therapeutic Ring, visit http://www. snorenomore. net (http://www. snorenomore. net).

SaleRacks. com Celebrates Timely Launch with a Heavy Flow of Discount Holiday Deals

SaleRacks. com Celebrates Timely Launch with a Heavy Flow of Discount Holiday Deals

SaleRacks. com has recently launched a deal site that handpicks the latest and greatest sales while trying to build a smarter and thriftier community of consumers. With Christmas right around the corner, SaleRacks has significantly upped its amount of deals, bargains, and coupon codes.

Great Neck, NY (PRWEB) December 22, 2010

SaleRacks (http://www. saleracks. com]) recently announced the launch of a new bargain hunter site that provides its visitors with constant flow of the best deals, instant savings, and coupon codes.

The concept for SaleRacks developed when Cofounder Ian Aronovich realized the amount of time people spend fruitlessly bargain hunting. He would see friends literally take hours to try to find the best prices on a given product while typically coming up unsuccessful in finding the best deal.

“I was just tired of seeing them sifting through dozens of retailers and websites to only end up saving a couple of dollars,” Aronovich said. “Our main goal is, and always will be, to provide the everyday consumer with the best deals available for the latest products and services,” he added.

Thanksgiving typically marks the beginning of holiday sales, and that's when the SaleRacks idea crept into action. Now that Christmas is several days away, people undoubtedly feel the pressure of last minute shopping, and tend to settle on prices that could have been considerably lower if they looked elsewhere. Whether you have the time or energy to venture out into the cold weather to do your shopping or you plan to buy everything online, checking SaleRacks. com first is the most efficient way to find deals.

“This is an incredibly demanding time for us as well for as the average consumer,” said Aronovich. With discount holiday deals sprouting up left and right during this hectic time of year, SaleRacks. com filters out all the generic and lackluster deals that are thrown at the public. “Black Friday and Cyber Monday were great sources for deals, but now people are struggling to find the best last minute discounts. To that end, the SaleRacks team researches, and hand-picks the best vetted deals, whether for the Christmas season or beyond.”

Last month, Walmart reported its sixth consecutive quarterly U. S. same-store sales decline, an indication of poor ordinary retail health in the country. At the same time, however, this indicates an excellent time for a deal site like SaleRacks, which feeds the public a constant flow of the best discount deals, sales, coupons and bargains through the web.

SaleRacks also quickly updates the site to show when a deal has expired or sold out. “Our website doesn’t waste your time—the savings are listed for a simple ‘read, click, and purchase’ method,” explains a member of the SaleRacks team. SaleRacks even links you to competitive pricing every time so you could see how good of a deal you're getting.

Besides viewing deals on the SaleRacks site through a computer, deals can be accessed via Facebook (http://www. facebook. com/SaleRacks) ; Twitter (http://twitter. com/SaleRacks), or through any smart phone with a streamlined mobile view. Saleracks is now also gearing up for crowdsourcing the best deals via a community of smart and educated shoppers it plans to grow.

About SaleRacks

SaleRacks is free site providing up-to-the-minute deals, bargains, discounts, and sales from around the web. Their team of researchers diligently scours the Internet and selects the greatest discounts to help you save the most money.
