New Health Trend in American Homes

New Health Trend in American Homes

The Sauna Business is Hot; New Trend is Heating up AmericaÂ’s Homes

LAKEWOOD, CO (PRWEB) September 21, 2005

As baby boomers continue to get older and Generation X officially turning 40 this year, a hot new trend is developing across the nation: Far infrared sauna sales are heating up. In fact, according to Aqua Magazine far infrared sauna sales have been rising rapidly at more than 50 percent each year for the last 2 years.

According to David Floyd of LuxSauna Inc., based in Lakewood, Colorado, the increase in sauna sales is due to a number of factors: health benefits, detoxifying, weight loss; as much as 600 calories are burned during a 30 minute session, as well as its healing affects on arthritis, back pain and other body aches and pains.

The benefits of traditional saunas have been known for over 2000 years in various countries from Finland to Japan to Turkey. Thanks to a new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology, the health-promoting effects of far infrared saunas might finally get a bit more of the attention they deserve. Far infrared saunas are sort of the "new kid on the (sauna) block," having become very popular in Japan over the past century. Far infrared saunas are a bit different than the traditional hot rock or steam versions. Far infrared waves warm things without actually heating up the air in between the heat source and the object. So in a far infrared sauna, the air is warm and dry and the infrared heat penetrates deeper and faster into the human body, as opposed to the humid, surface heat of traditional saunas.

Americans are just now discovering the health benefits of the new infrared saunas and are responding in droves, adding them to their homes. In fact, saunas are rapidly becoming a “must have” in many American households.

“First it was the hot tub, then a home office, then a media room now the must have in many homes is the sauna room,” explained Floyd. “People are making specific places in their homes for the sauna or are renovating certain areas such as a bathroom to include the sauna.”

With the new technology of the infrared saunas, Americans are saving money and time as well as adding an investment to their home. The new saunas are ready to use in less than five minutes (lower electric bills); more compact – allowing homeowners to use them in smaller areas; and the temperature is lower by 100 degrees – making the sauna more tolerable for longer periods of time.

“The saunas themselves are now lower in price,” says Floyd. “And they’re more pleasant to be in – they all come with an AM/FM compact disk player to entertain while soothing you to a healthier body.”

Located in Lakewood, Colorado, LuxSauna is a privately owned company that specializes in a variety of infrared saunas. The company sells more than 300 saunas per month across the country. Their website is located at www. luxsauna. com.

Advance in DuPont™ Kalrez® Parts Overcomes Challenges of Harsh Oil and Gas Environments

Advance in DuPont™ Kalrez® Parts Overcomes Challenges of Harsh Oil and Gas Environments

Reliability engineering for harsh oil and gas drilling environments such as deep water and shale has just taken a major step forward with the advent of DuPont™ Kalrez® 0090 perfluoroelastomer O-rings.

Newark, DE (Vocus) April 14, 2010

Reliability engineering for harsh oil and gas drilling environments such as deep water and shale has just taken a major step forward with the advent of DuPont™ Kalrez® 0090 perfluoroelastomer O-rings.

In rigorous third-party testing for rapid gas decompression (RGD) resistance per the NORSOK M-710 Rev 2 standard, Kalrez® 0090 O-rings received the best possible rating of 0000. The tests were conducted by the independent Materials Engineering Research Laboratory Ltd. (MERL) in the U. K. In contrast to Kalrez® 0090 parts, other competitive seals can pass the minimum requirements of NORSOK M-710 with multiple internal cracks developed during test cycling.

“The 0000 rating for RGD resistance is critically important for customers,” said Arun Gopalakrishnan, global market segment leader -- DuPont Performance Polymers. “O-rings with ratings poorer than Kalrez® 0090 rating of 0000 are likely to suffer greater cracking when exposed to pressure cycling. Once a crack is initiated, gas will accumulate at the next pressure cycle, eventually leading to a complete crack across the section, which could lead to seal failure.”

MERL has also certified the excellent resistance of Kalrez® parts to sour fluid ageing, including multi-phase fluids containing hydrogen sulfide. Kalrez® parts withstand attack by more than 1,800 chemicals and solvents in all. In addition, they retain high levels of elasticity and recovery even after long-term exposure to temperatures up to 250°C (482°F) and have excellent extrusion resistance as well.

The advent of Kalrez® 0090 parts adds another element to the DuPont portfolio of high-performance components and materials for the oil and gas industry. Another valued portfolio item, Vespel® CR-6100 parts, have proven in the field their ability to perform as back-up rings in a wide range of high-pressure pumps used in hydrocarbon processing and refining. Vespel® CR-6100 parts outperform those made from alternative materials such as polyetheretherketone (PEEK) in several ways. These include higher temperature resistance, more mechanical strength and nearly universal chemical resistance. Moreover, they are recognized under the latest edition of the ISO 13709 International Standard and the American Petroleum Institute’s API 610 Standard.

Both Kalrez® 0090 and Vespel® CR-6100 parts build on more than 30 years of DuPont experience in meeting the needs of the oil and gas industry for high-performance parts.

Exercise Success for People Over 50: Reports of Improved Fitness, Circulation and Balance

Exercise Success for People Over 50: Reports of Improved Fitness, Circulation and Balance

The combination of a gentle bounce, stretching and strength training proves to be most effective in addressing senior health concerns. Dr. James Rota has developed a unique exercise for seniors, which has seen successful results in improving circulation, bone density, balance, weight loss, and overall fitness.

Paso Robles, CA (PRWEB) February 9, 2010

According to the Centers for Disease Control, approximately 90 percent of American adults are so sedentary they could almost be reclassified as statues. It is important that people over age 50 find a way to address bone loss, circulation, balance issues, constipation, weight loss and muscle atrophy. Seniors have been reporting improvement in these conditions with a new exercise called Bouncercise.

After years of development, Dr. James Rota, age 75, describes Bouncercise as a gentle bounce combined with a suspended stabilization system which enables effective stretching, resistance training, and aerobic workout. “This exercise is fun and easy to do, and is very efficient. Bouncercise is a realistic solution to exercise apathy.”

Dr. Rota also developed the Freedom Spring System to facilitate the Bouncercise movement. It consists of a high qualityrebounder or mini trampoline, along with a resistance and stabilization system that attaches to a wall or doorway. While performing a gentle bounce, seniors hold onto the suspended bar or resistance cords.

According to the National Safety Council, falls are the leading cause of injury-related deaths in older adults. Regarding her experience with Bouncercise, Elinor Kruzic, age 84, reported, “I had a problem with my inner ear and lost my balance completely. This has helped me in two months to regain my balance. I can walk now. I don’t fall down.”

Norma Wenderoth, age 72, who has a left-side paralysis due to a stroke says, “I couldn’t do anything to get an aerobic workout. I can’t swim fast enough, I can’t walk fast enough. On the Freedom Spring, I get 20 minutes of aerobics every day.”

According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, 1 in every 2 women over the age of 50 are at risk for an osteoporosis-related fracture. No matter what your age, strength exercises will increase bone density, which reduces the likelihood of fractures.

Wayne L. Westcott, Ph. D. (fitness research director at the South Shore YMCA, and author of 20 fitness books) says, “Research clearly confirms the importance of resistance training for effectively reversing the muscle loss, metabolic slowdown, and strength decrement associated with the aging process.” He further states that “strength training can reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, colon cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, low back pain and depression.”

With all the research available, it is clear that exercise addresses a host of physical conditions that are daily concerns of the changing body of the mature adult. “The main components of physical fitness are cardiorespiratory workout, muscle strength and endurance, and flexibility. Bouncercise creates a synergistic effect of all them working together simultaneously,” says Dr. Rota.

Dr. Rota’s own journey includes a compelling story of how he survived industrial levels of mercury in his body to recovering from a nearly severed leg. “I originally developed Bouncercise to detoxify my body, but it also was decisively instrumental in successfully rehabilitating my severely broken leg.” In fact, Dr. Rota, age 75, made such a thriving recovery, that he was able to dance with Edyta Sliwinska from Dancing with the Stars. He easily kept up with the 27 year old professional dancer, as can be seen in Dr. Rota’s channel on YouTube. com.

Dr. Rota holds Bouncercise classes at his office in Los Angeles. In addition to Bouncercise training, the class also includes discussions on detoxification, nutrition, and weight management. For more information about Bouncercise classes, visit http://www. FreedomSpring. com.

With life being so busy, using time efficiently is an important factor in making choices for health and everyday needs. Bouncercise combines all the components of fitness and brings the well-documented benefits of the gentle bounce to people of all abilities, along with effective results.

About Dr. James Rota:

Dr. Rota, a practicing dentist for 45 years, has been a UCLA Assistant Professor and a pioneer in Biological Dentistry. As a biological dentist for the past 25 years, he helped develop the protocols for safe mercury removal from the mouth, which are commonplace in biological dentistry today. He is currently the director of http://www. TALKInternational. com, a resource website for information regarding mercury toxicity. Dr. Rota has also received multiple patents involving dental ergonomics, the Freedom Spring System and Bouncercise.
