hCGTreatments / Diet Doc hCG Diets & Weight Loss Plans Now Fight the Growing Risk of Diabetes Symptoms With New, Advanced Weight Loss Tips

Sunday, May 19th, 2013 at 8:23 am  


Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) May 17, 2013

According to a new release by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention, over the next thirty years, the rates of diabetes symptoms and diagnoses could reach staggering levels. Diet Doc recognizes the relationship between weight gain and diabetes symptoms and seeks to relieve patients suffering from weight related health concerns through new and improved patient education and weight loss tips for healthy eating. Instead of simply succeeding in significant weight reduction, Diet Doc achieves complete lifestyle transformations for their patients through fast and effective hCG diets.

As reported by Everyday Health, by the year 2050, nearly one third of all Americans could experience diabetes symptoms or receive a positive diagnosis. The article?s authors, Beth Orenstein and Farrokh Sohrabi, MD, offer seven healthy eating principles that patients can follow to combat the risk of diabetes symptoms. Their healthy eating principles include drinking plenty of water, avoiding sugary drinks, practicing portion control and eating healthy foods high in fiber. Diet Doc incorporates these principles into all hCG diets not only to fight diabetes symptoms, but also as weight loss tips to control weight gain and aid in fat elimination.

Diet Doc understands the commitment it takes to overcome extreme weight gain and believes that the weight loss tips and hCG treatments used within their hCG diet plans is the fastest and most efficient path to weight reduction. The female body naturally produces the hCG hormone during pregnancy to provide adequate nutrition to the growing fetus. The hormone mobilizes extra fat storage within the mother while leaving her structural fat and muscle mass untouched. hCG was discovered in the 1950s by researcher A.T.W. Simeons. Diet Doc has since modernized this research with today?s science and technology and began utilizing the benefits of hCG as a fast weight loss tool in hCG diets. hCG treatments are effective in suppressing the appetite to assist in fast weight elimination so that patients can focus on incorporating healthy eating and weight loss tips to create a positive lifestyle change.

While patients are losing weight, they are also working closely with Diet Doc?s team of weight reduction professionals to become educated on how their body responds to fat elimination and which weight loss tips are most effective in helping them attain their weight goals. Diet Doc?s diet plans revolve around the belief that no person?s plan for losing weight is exactly like another?s, and each person responds differently to weight reduction, therefore, hCG diets should be created by taking personal needs into consideration. Each potential Diet Doc patient initially completes and extensive evaluation and meets personally with a physician to review organ function and internal processes that may be inhibiting fat elimination. Following this consultation, patients work with a certified nutritionist to develop hCG diets incorporating weight loss tips that will benefit their personal needs. All hCG diets are created specifically for each patient around their weight goals, food preferences, activity levels and lifestyle choices. Diet Doc believes that following the protocol developed in hCG diets will not only lead to significant weight loss, it will also relieve diabetes symptoms and other health related consequences.

Are Your Wedding Wishes Bigger Than Your Budget? Tips for an Affordable Dream Wedding from PartyLite

Sunday, May 12th, 2013 at 1:20 am  


Plymouth, MA (PRWEB) April 23, 2013

If your wedding dreams are big, but your wedding budget isn?t, you can still have your dream wedding. Be smart. Get creative! Here are some easy changes to consider:


????Buy a great gown at a charity thrift shop ? why not?
????Keep your caterer, but adjust your menu to more modest choices.
????Pass up the pricey photographer, and invite your guests to upload their photos to a shared photo site.
????Un-hire the band; hire a DJ.
????Cut a smaller ?show? cake; serve pieces of a simple sheet cake.

And last but not least, skip the gazillion dollar florist, and create your own centerpieces. Your best friends will help you. You can do it beautifully and practically free with PartyLite.

Famous for platinum quality candles and candle accessories -- including many that hold both flowers and candles -- PartyLite can help you create your own fabulous, can?t-fail centerpieces.????

In Preparation for Spring Travel Season, Glaro Inc. Offers Tips for Selecting the Right Bellman Carts for Hotels, Condos, Airports, and Other Properties

Monday, May 6th, 2013 at 7:25 pm  


Hauppauge, NY (PRWEB) May 01, 2013

Glaro Inc., a leading USA manufacturer of bellman carts, luggage carts, and upscale platform trucks known widely for its innovative ?Glaro Glider? carts, has taken proactive steps to make sure that buildings and properties across the United States are properly equipped this spring and summer travel season. Glaro Inc. suggests that properties consider the following four tips about bellman and luggage carts as they research and investigate the right carts for their facilities.

Maneuverability

First and foremost, Glaro suggests purchasing a cart that is easy to move, easy to turn and easy to push or pull. ?Glaro Inc. offers six wheel bellman carts that have the highest performance in the industry,? says Executive Vice President Robert Betensky. ?Pushing or pulling from either end is easy and efficient. The operator maintains complete control at all times. Therefore, the design is perfect for self-service as well as bellman applications.? Glaro Inc. carts with six wheels pivot in place, turning on an axis. Company executives say this ?phenomenon? known by industry experts as ?pinpoint maneuverability? is especially useful around elevators, corners and in tight spaces. Damage to wall and door frames is greatly reduced with a cart that can be controlled so easily. An extra benefit of the six wheel design is a higher load capacity. Mr. Betensky added, ?Maneuverability is at the top of the list. That?s why the Glaro Glider was born.?

Selection

Glaro suggests purchasing from a USA manufacturer whose bellman cart product lines offer both selection and versatility, essentially enabling you to create your own cart. Executives say that a good company will provide a selection of four and six wheel carts, several capacities (lengths), various finishes, wheel and bumper system options and even accessories such as shelves, convenience rails, hooks and bars. Properties may also wish to have their logos applied to the carpeting to further their branding and look of exclusivity. Many properties have high traffic volumes, especially those that accommodate bus loads of visitors. At these locations, a high capacity cart that will hold more weight and more cubic footage of luggage due to the design of the frame is needed, as found in Glaro?s ?High Roller? line.

Maintenance

Glaro Inc. suggests looking for low maintenance bellman carts. ?We recommend all-weather, rust and corrosion proof carts made with aluminum frames,? mentioned Mr. Betensky. Manufacturers such as Glaro Inc., for example, engineer frames and chassis that are rust proof and can therefore be used indoors and outdoors. The company suggests selecting carts that are not constructed from solid brass, which tarnishes easily and need continuous maintenance. Mirror chrome, mirror plated and brass plated finishes also chip and rust. ?The best alternative is satin polished aluminum and tarnish proof satin brass. These finishes are less costly and easier to clean than solid brass or brass plated finishes, which require polishing,? offers Plant Manager Bob Glass. Beyond finishes, Glaro Inc. suggests using quality ball bearing wheels with 8-inch diameter casters and avoiding those with 6-inch casters, which wear out faster and do not easily navigate over uneven surfaces or carpeting.

Design Appeal and Aesthetics

Glaro Inc. suggests that your bellman carts present an appearance ?worthy? of a ?front of the house? position in your lobby, condo, dormitory, nursing home, airport, or building. Selecting a cart that fits seamlessly with a building?s d?cor is essential, and it is part of customer service. ?A cart can actually enhance an area but should never detract from the overall aesthetics. Appearances matter, especially in service based and hospitality industries.? Asking about the variety, number, and types of finishes available is an important part of the research process.

Glaro Gliders, the bellman cart manufacturer?s well-known bellman cart line, come in a variety of designs and prices so that customers can choose exactly what they want. ?They are attractive, low maintenance, durable and unmatched by any other company when it comes to value, maneuverability, and control,? says Mr. Betensky. Each Glaro Glider model comes in three sizes, 15 designs, 31 finishes, including clear coated satin aluminum, tarnish proof satin brass, and 29 textured and smooth powder coated colors. Every cart is manufactured in the USA.

Sun Safety Tips for Oregonians and Washingtonians from Cancer Treatment Centers of America?

Friday, May 3rd, 2013 at 2:21 pm  


Portland, Ore. (PRWEB) May 02, 2013

As the Pacific Northwest region heads into record temperatures this weekend, Cancer Treatment Centers of America? (CTCA) at Western Regional Medical Center (Western) reminds residents of the Pacific Northwest that it is important to keep sun safety tips in mind?particularly since Oregon and Washington have some of the highest rates of skin cancer in the country.

?Skin cancer is the most common cancer diagnosed in the United States according to the Environmental Protection Agency and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention,? said Walter Quan, Jr., M.D., melanoma specialist and Chief Medical Oncologist at CTCA?s Western Regional Medical Center. ?With months of rain and a population that tends to have fairer skin, it?s easy for people in the Pacific Northwest to underestimate their risk for developing skin cancer by over-exposure to the sun.?

Dr. Quan believes in creating a culture of safety around sun exposure. He has outlined below a variety of precautions that individuals can take to limit their sun exposure and their risk of developing melanoma.

Sun Tanning and Sunburn

o????Perform outdoor activities before 11:00 a.m. and after 3:00 p.m. to avoid high-risk hours.

o????Tanned skin is damaged by the sun?s radiation. People of all ages should limit their exposure to the sun?s rays.

o????Avoiding sun tanning will help skin appear younger for longer.

o????When your tan fades, your skin is trying to heal the damage caused by sun exposure. However, your skin never forgets what happens. Radiation damage is cumulative over the course of years.

o????People at any age must avoid getting sunburned.

o????Even one incidence of sunburn places a person at risk for skin cancer in their lifetime. One sees the effect of the sun exposure perhaps 30 years after the event.

Sunscreen

o????Children should learn to wear sunscreen at a young age, preferably under the age of 10.

o????The higher the SPF the better, but sunscreen should have an SPF of at least 15.

The ABCDE?s of Skin Cancer

See your dermatologist for moles or skin changes that are:

o????A?Asymmetric

o????B?Borders that are irregular or ragged rather than smooth

o????C?Color variation in the same mole (a mole that is more than one color or if you notice that a mole has changed color, particularly if it has become black or dark.)

o????D?Diameter of more than six millimeters, that is, a new or enlarging mole that is larger around than the eraser on a #2 pencil

o????E?Elevation or heaping up of a pre-existing mole

Skin cancer usually does not hurt. If you or someone you know notices a new skin lesion/mole OR a change in something you have had before, see your M.D. or dermatologist right away. In the case of a child, you should take them to their pediatrician as soon as possible.

Healthy Eating

Certain fruits and vegetables contain immune-boosting ingredients and are rich with nutrients. For example, citrus fruits contain antioxidants to protect cells from changes that lead to skin cancer. Eating three or four avocados per week can help reduce skin damage. And vitamin A, found in carrots, has been linked to a reduced risk of sunburn, which can reduce the risk of skin cancer. At CTCA, healthy dishes are served that help strengthen the patient?s immune system and helps keep them strong to fight cancer.

Important Information for Cancer Patients and their Caregivers

For patients undergoing cancer treatment, sun exposure may be unsafe. Intense sun exposure may further weaken the immune system in a person receiving chemotherapy. In addition, sun exposure while undergoing chemotherapy with fluorouracil (5-FU, Adrucil) may lead to more intense skin reactions and possible sunburn. Also, patients undergoing radiation therapy or just finishing treatment should also avoid the sun because skin exposed to radiation is very sensitive to the sun?s rays. Specific tips include:

o????Sun Exposure ? Be aware of the amount of time spent in the sun. The following tips are helpful for limiting sun exposure:

o????Cover the head and ears with broad brimmed hats, which offer protection from the sun?s rays.

o????If a patient has lost his or her hair, the exposed skin will burn easily.

o????Wear tightly woven clothing made of light colored fabrics.

o????Protect surgical scars from the sun, as excessive sun exposure may darken scar tissue.

o????Always remember to apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with a solar protection factor (SPF) of 30 or higher.

o????Avoid Dehydration ? Some side effects of cancer treatment may cause dehydration. Signs of dehydration may include:

o????Dry mouth, thirst.

o????Fatigue or weakness.

o????Weak or cramped muscles.

o????Dizziness, headaches, forgetfulness, confusion.

o????Fever.

Ways to prevent dehydration include:

o????Drink iced fluids before feeling thirsty.

o????Eat vegetables and fruits with a high fluid content.

o????Avoid beverages with alcohol or caffeine.

?If you or someone you love has skin cancer, it is important to know about all the available treatment options,? explained Dr. Quan. ?At CTCA we offer patients access to the latest state-of-the-art technologies and treatment options. For example, one of the newest and most innovative forms of immunotherapy used to treat melanoma patients at Western is called Interleukin-2 (IL-2). IL-2 strengthens the body?s own immune system to identify and fight cancer cells in melanoma patients. Interleukins stimulate the growth of blood cells that regulate inflammatory and immune responses.?

Cancer Treatment Centers of America at Western Regional Medical Center (Phoenix, Arizona) is the only hospital in the country that offers IL-2 as an outpatient treatment.

About Cancer Treatment Centers of America

Cancer Treatment Centers of America (CTCA) is a national network of hospitals providing a comprehensive, fully integrated approach to cancer treatment. CTCA serves patients with complex cancer from all 50 states?including Colorado?at facilities located in suburban Phoenix, suburban Chicago, Philadelphia and Tulsa.

Have a Dog with Dry Skin? Petencare Offers Tips for Relief this Summer

Friday, April 26th, 2013 at 2:19 am  


India (PRWEB) April 21, 2013

Leading online retailer of pet accessories online, Petencare, provides tips for dog lovers to prevent and cure their dogs suffering from dry skin this summer season.

The question for summer time dog owners is what should be done if a dog is suffering from dry skin? Petencare provides the answers by offering tips to cure and prevent dry skin for pets this summer season.

1. Bathe the dog pet as few times as possible, within reason. Use warm water when bathing a dog. Hot water will further dry their skin. Be sure to clean them from the summer elements, but not to over dry their already sensitive skin.

2. Use moisturizing shampoo and conditioner made specifically for dogs. There is a variety of shampoo selections for dogs; be sure to use a product that will not dry their skin even further. Herbal dog shampoos contain natural botanical oils, something pet owners should look for when choosing a product. When shampooing a dog, massage the whole body once over and then rinse the coat. Conditioner can be massaged into the dog and rinsed or purchased as a leave-in conditioner and sprayed on the dog to nourish their body and help avoid future dry skin problems.

3. Brush their fur as often as possible to remove dead coats. As a dog?s skin dries out, the hair tends to shed and skin flakes off, leaving an unpleasant feeling for dogs. This could cause them to scratch their coats excessively and not allow the new coat to become stronger. When brushing a pet, owners are removing the unwanted hair and allowing the coat to grow and protect the skin against drying out. Healthy, conditioned coats are the best preventative measure for a dog?s dry skin.

4. Feeding dogs a good quality well-known brand of dog food will prevent dry skin. A dog?s diet has a great impact on their overall health and well-being. It can affect the health, feeling, color of their fur, the dryness of their skin and their overall energy level as a pet. Feeding a dog wet dog food can help to provide more moisture to their diet and assist in keeping their skin from becoming dry. A natural, high quality food will help to ensure dogs are getting the nutrients they need to keep their skin as healthy as possible.

5. Ensure that dogs are getting a proper amount of water. Just like humans, a dehydrated dog can lead to many issues, one of them being dry skin. Have fresh, clean water accessible to pets 24 hours a day, especially if they are outside playing in the heat of the summer.

Tips for Protecting Your Property From Flooding

Friday, April 19th, 2013 at 12:31 am  

Valley Forge, Pa. (PRWEB) March 19, 2013

Flooding is a coast-to-coast threat in the United States, and the coming of spring often brings severe weather, heavy rain and rapid snow melt that can increase the risk. Flood Safety Awareness Week, observed March 18-22, is coordinated by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to highlight some of the ways floods can occur, their associated hazards, and how to protect yourself and your property.

A leading manufacturer of building products designed to create comfortable, sustainable homes that stand up to all weather conditions, CertainTeed Corporation offers the following tips to help protect against flood damage, or rehabilitate a home with water damage:

Get flood insurance. According to the NOAA, floods are the number one natural disaster in the U.S., causing nearly $ 24 billion in damage in the past 10 years. Homes and businesses located in high-risk areas are twice as likely to experience a flood than a fire. However, most homeowners and commercial property insurance policies do not cover flood damage. Carrying flood insurance is one of the most important steps to protecting your home or business. But don?t wait until a local warning is issued?it normally takes 30 days after purchase for a flood insurance policy to go into effect. Visit http://www.floodsmart.gov for more information.

Build a tight foundation. Floods can happen anywhere, and a waterproof foundation can greatly reduce the amount of damage to a home. Installing flood vents in a home?s foundation creates permanent openings that allow water to flow in and out of the crawl space without damaging the wall?s integrity. Homeowners can also install barriers that prevent water from entering through the foundation wall, such as Platon? high-density polyethylene (HDPE) waterproofing membrane.

Elevate key fixtures and appliances. In high-risk areas, homeowners should elevate the furnace, water heater and electric panel at least 12 inches above the projected base flood elevation.

Ensure proper drainage. Install a sump pump with backup power, and make sure excess water is diverted from the exterior of a home?s basement or crawl space. Form-A-Drain? is a unique drainage solution that collects groundwater through multiple side vents and transports it to a sump pit or drainage pipe.

Take steps to prevent mold growth. If a home has flooded and been closed up for several days, it is very likely the home has been contaminated with mold. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommends removing all porous items, such as carpet, upholstery, drywall and ceiling tiles that have been wet for more than 48 hours and cannot be thoroughly cleaned and dried, as they can pose a health risk. If an area larger than 10 square feet has been affected, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recommends hiring a qualified mold remediation specialist to help with removal.

Make renovations count. If repairs are necessary, take the opportunity to rebuild with materials that will improve the home?s comfort and efficiency, such as M2Tech? Moisture and Mold Resistant Gypsum Board, which is engineered to protect against mold growth. MemBrain? Smart Vapor Retarder can also help prevent future mold growth by allowing walls to breathe, so excess moisture doesn?t become trapped within the wall cavity. Keep in mind that a federal tax credit for energy efficient upgrades may help offset some of the repair costs. Visit http://www.CertainTeed.com/EnergyTaxCredit to learn more.

Partner with a qualified contractor. Recovering from a flood can be an overwhelming experience. Working with a trusted contractor can help homeowners navigate the latest building codes and get back in their homes more quickly. Search customer review websites or use online tools such as CertainTeed?s ?Find a Pro? tool to locate credentialed contractors based on zip code, as well as the type of products needed for the project.

Natural Skin Care Advice from a Beauty Industry Insider – Founder of aylabeauty.com Shares Non-Toxic Beauty Tips

Friday, December 7th, 2012 at 8:19 pm  


San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) November 28, 2012

Increasing numbers of beauty consumers are seeking natural skin care products, and for good reason. As reported by The New York Times, between 1,000 and 3,000 new chemicals have been introduced into our environment each year for the past 30 years. There's still much to be determined about how many of these chemicals interact with our bodies, especially where personal care products are concerned. The amount of a potentially toxic ingredient in a cream or lotion may be small, but it becomes significant ? especially when that product is used every day, over an extended period of time. This is particularly important for expecting moms and young children, but it affects everyone, since the majority of ingredients applied to the skin end up being absorbed by the body.

During her tenure in the beauty industry, marketing and product development executive Dara Kennedy saw that many personal care products were made available to consumers despite the questionable ingredients they contained, sometimes resulting in sensitivity, rashes and other adverse side effects, not to mention potential long-term health implications. This inspired her to create aylabeauty.com, an ecommerce website dedicated to providing a well-edited selection of non-toxic and natural skin care products and education. Brands such as The Organic Pharmacy, S5 Skincare and 37 Extreme Actives offer clients effective skin solutions without suspected toxins.

While the thought of starting a whole new regimen can be overwhelming, it need not be. Dara shares her top natural skin care tips for those who want to start cleaning up their beauty routine:

TIP #1 Focus on the products you use every day. ?Take a look at the ingredients of the skin care products you use regularly, especially the ones you don?t wash off right away. At a minimum, try to avoid the ingredients on the list below, which are known to cause skin irritation and more serious health problems; I would actually avoid a few more, but this is a good place to start, and it shouldn?t be hard to find great products that don?t contain them. And if there?s a fancy new chemical in your product that you?ve never heard of before, look it up or contact the manufacturer and see what you can learn about it.?

TIP #2 Less is more. ?A lot of new customers come to us after having overloaded their skin with strong anti-aging products, ending up with sensitized and reactive skin whose protective barrier isn?t as effective at keeping the bad stuff out. Try to streamline your regimen by using fewer products that really work, without using harsh chemicals. You?ll end up saving your skin and your time.?

TIP #3 Don?t make yourself crazy. ?Stress can be just as hard (if not harder) on your body as some of these ingredients you might try to avoid. Don?t drive yourself nuts trying to eliminate every single toxin you come across in your daily life. Identify a handful of sources you trust for non-toxic, healthy products you use every day ? from personal care to food ? and let them do the heavy lifting for you.?
