Pioneering Clinical Study Shows Unique Resveratrol Delivery Matrix Is Orally Bioactive

February 18, 2011
By



San Dimas, CA (PRWEB) November 27, 2007

A university clinical study accepted for presentation at the Annual Meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine, Southeast Chapter in February, 2008 shows that Longevinex®, a patent pending natural resveratrol delivery matrix, can exert positive effects in relation to endurance exercise-induced markers of physiologic stress.

Steven R McAnulty, Ph.D., Associate Professor in the Health, Leisure, and Exercise Science department at Appalachian State University, led the study, which was completed in May of 2007. “To date, there do not appear to be any human studies indicating that oral consumption of resveratrol – containing dietary supplements can produce favorable changes in markers of oxidative stress or inflammation. We were surprised by our findings and look forward to presenting them in mid-February,” offered Dr. McAnulty.

Dr. McAnulty is one of the co-authors of two recent articles showing that high dose (1,000 mg/day) quercetin—a constituent of Longevinex, albeit present in a much lower quantity (25 mg)—can reduce upper respiratory tract infection in endurance cyclists yet without an apparent effect on muscle inflammatory cascade responses, during a period of intense training.

Longevinex® is a dietary supplement innovation marketed exclusively by Resveratrol Partners, LLC, with distribution based in Las Vegas.

“An abundance of data show that resveratrol — in its pure chemical form, or in dietary supplement delivery systems — is ‘stability challenged’,” offered Bill Sardi, president of Resveratrol Partners and a noted health journalist and book author. “Our patent pending composition is far more than just resveratrol — it is designed to be a stable and reproducibly effective oral delivery matrix for resveratrol but exerting greater bioactivity than resveratrol or ‘resveratrol extracts’ alone. Our ongoing preclinical research program has also yielded some very exciting data — with noted superiority over synthetic, pure resveratrol alone. These data will be unveiled by the middle of 2008,” he added.

Resveratrol Partners, LLC is an innovation and science-driven dietary supplement marketer engaged in direct to consumer marketing. Longevinex® is the first dietary supplement marketed by the company. The pilot study was supported by grants from Appalachian State University Research Council and the Vaughn Christian Research Endowment. Resveratrol Partners LLC donated the dietary supplements.

Recent Harvard Study Shows Antioxidant Foods Ward Off Eye-Related Diseases

February 16, 2011
By



Vancouver, British Columbia (PRWEB) January 22, 2007

Nutrition and ophthalmology are beginning to see eye to eye after a recent study by Harvard researchers.

A diet rich in antioxidant foods like fruits and vegetables, coupled with a healthy lifestyle, helps ward off the onset of age-related macular degeneration, the leading cause of blindness for Americans age 55 and above.

For the more than 13 million Americans with some signs of age-related macular degeneration (AMD), there is no cure. The symptoms include fuzzy vision, wavy lines on a page, and the appearance of dark areas in the center of vision. The study, conducted earlier this year, followed 934 people ages 67-71 and found those who consumed higher levels of vitamin C, beta-carotene and antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, had lower levels of C-reactive protein and homocysteine, both of which have been linked to increases in AMD.

“There is plentiful scientific evidence that diet is important to AMD, especially in people over age 75, as this age group is vulnerable to dietary negligence,” said Dr. Paul Gross, founder of Berry Health Inc. and an expert on cardiovascular and brain physiology. “The main focus on dietary supplementation to reduce or prevent AMD is for increased intake of high antioxidant foods.”

One food high in antioxidants is the berry. The blueberry, for instance, has been praised for its nutritional properties and has been called a Superfood that contains the highest antioxidant power of the 20 most common fruits and berries. Berry Wise, which produces two great-tasting supplements centered around the blueberry, also contains several other nutritional dark-skinned berries, including the cranberry and the acai berry.

As the U.S. population increases in age, information about eye health and nutrition has never been more urgent. There has been a sharp rise in eye-related health issues, with blindness and poor vision currently affecting 3.3 million Americans over 40. That number is expected to increase to 5.5 million by 2020, according to the National Eye Institute.

Foods that fight off vision disorders are a simple way to help prevent a downturn in the quality of life that occurs when sight is impaired or completely lost. The berry, along with other foods rich in eye health nutrients, have become recognized as diet-smart for the elderly.

“Most common dark berries have good levels of vitamins A, C and in some cases E,” said Dr. Gross, co-founder of the International Berry Health Association. “They also have rich contents of phenolic pigments that serve as dietary antioxidants in humans and may be helpful in prevention of AMD.”

These vitamins, along with several minerals and fibers, have been formulated into the Berry Wise products, which can be purchased at www.Berrywiseinc.com. Their functional food philosophy makes them a sort of eye candy for a body’s daily dietary needs.

Dr. Gross’s free CD on berries, antioxidants and fiber can be found at www.berrywiseonline.com

Creating a Personal Study Area for Distance Learning

November 30, 2010
By

It is necessary to have a dedicated personal study area because this provides important benefits to the study process. It is a physical and psychological necessity for anyone taking a professional development course by distance learning, online, or correspondence studies. It creates a visible, physical, and personal location where your studies are carried out, providing support facilities for your study activities. It is a place where you go to in order to do only one thing, study. Think of it as being similar to going to your workplace, where on arrival you switch into “work” mode. When you go to your study area, you switch into “study” mode.

Where should your study are be situated. This will depend on the layout and size of your home, but there are some ideal places and some very unsuitable places. Without a dedicated study area you would need to study on kitchen tables, sofas, beds, armchairs, dining tables, in rooms that are used frequently for other domestic activities. These are highly unsuitable, as they have no “professional” or “academic” or “personal development” features, and are full of distractions and barriers to effective studying. An ideal location would be in a small room that is specifically for study, in the style of a home office. Some students might have lofts, garages, or basements, that could be converted. Less ideal, but still suitable, would be an area in a bedroom, equipped for study, and not used for any other purpose. This would remove you from most day and evening time domestic activity (and even if you are single, living alone, it will keep you away from the television and refrigerator). If you do have to use a kitchen or living room, then you will need to alter your studying schedule so that you are studying when others are not present in these areas. Don’t try to study in the same room as others, or where there is domestic activity visible or audible. It won’t work.

If at all possible, buy a traditional desk. It doesn’t have to be large, or expensive (a low cost, second-hand, used, desk will be perfectly suitable). This will immediately give a “professional”, “workplace”, feel to your study area, and give you drawers and surface space to place your pc, laptop, papers, printer, pens, study books, on. Next, make sure you obtain a suitable chair. An office-style, swivel chair would be best, but a fixed chair will suffice. No matter what style, make sure that it is comfortable to use for long periods. Again, a used chair will be just as good as a new one, if selected carefully. For most courses of study a PC or Laptop will be essential. A mid to low range one will be suitable for most courses. Ideally an office suite such as MS Office should be used, but lower cost, simpler packages are fine too (and Microsoft itself offers a MS Office in “Student-Teacher” version, at one third of the cost of the commercial price). With your PC or Laptop, comfort is much more important than power. The essentials are a keyboard that is comfortable to type on for long periods, and a screen that is comfortable on the eyes for long periods of work. A printer is essential (a basic, low cost one will do) even if you email your documents to your tutor. It is good practice to print off your assignments (outlines, drafts, finished versions) and read them to proof-read them and see them as your tutor will (most tutors will print off your work and then read and assess it).

Lighting is important. A well-lit room is vital, and a desk-top lamp can add focus to the working area.

Having supplies and peripherals nearby is helpful. A set of drawers in the desk, or a cupboard, or wall shelves, specifically for books, paper, pens, pencils, cartridges, etc, will help you to be organized, keep your study area tidy, and to have essential supplies available when you need them.

Choose a layout that suits you, but organize your equipment and furniture so that when you sit down to study you are not distracted by activity in a doorway, window, or other part of the room.

For most people, “keep it tidy” would be good advice. However, some people can’t work in a “tidy” fashion, but are very comfortable working in what others see as “chaos”. If that is your natural style, that’s fine, but even then, try to be as organized, as neat and tidy, as you can be – this will help to keep you on track with your timetable of studies.

Your personal study area should be used whenever you have planned, scheduled, study activity that requires you to read and reflect on what you are reading, carry out research on the internet, correspond by email, telephone, or letter with your tutor, or write responses to exercises, tests, or assignments. Don’t use it for anything else. It isn’t the place to eat a snack, watch television, planning your next holiday, painting your nails, or chatting to other family members. If you want to do any of these, leave your study area and do them somewhere else!

If you have family or friends who live with you or work close to your study area, talk with them and agree that when you enter your personal study area they will not disturb you. Make this a permanent, non-negotiable, rule, broken only in cases of emergency. You can help by scheduling your study times when other people are less likely to disturb you, and by building in time to spend with family and friends when you are not studying. If you like to listen to music, or the radio, when studying, that’s ok, but make sure that it is not in reality distracting you. Television is not a good idea, because of the distraction caused by the moving images. If your study area is, by necessity, near a busy area where people are active, try to schedule your study time when that local activity is at its quietest, less busy times. Keep your mobile phone switched off, unless you have to be available to colleagues from work. If you do have to be contactable at home by work colleagues, try to make contact first, to stop calls coming in when you are studying.

For some students it is not possible to have a dedicated personal study area in the home, or at least not a permanent one. External locations are available which, although not capable of being personalized, could be regular locations in which, with regular use, you can feel familiar and comfortable. For example, Internet Cafes, where there is most of the equipment and furniture that you need. You can supplement these by taking carefully selected study aids such as coursework books. Internet Cafes usually do charge an hourly fee, which is usually a reasonable price, but most will give discounted prices for regular users. Libraries, where there is usually plenty of desk space, a very quiet and studious atmosphere, and, of course, reference and subject textbooks which, if not permanently available, can be ordered and loaned for short period. Today, many libraries also have pc and internet facilities. Libraries are virtually free to use, apart from a low internet usage fee. Your Workplace, where you may be able to use lunch breaks, and-or time before or after work, to fit in some study time. It may also be possible to arrange to use a meeting room or unoccupied office, at least on a short-term basis. Some of our students who find it impossible to study at home, and who work in organizations that operate on a 5 day week, make arrangements to go into the workplace on weekends and study there.

Establishing a Personal Study Area is one of the most beneficial actions that you can take when starting to study for a professional development qualification. A properly equipped, well organized, study area becomes a recognized space that you enter into when you are scheduled to carry out some study time. It becomes a place where you are comfortable and familiar with the layout and facilities, and where you feel confident that you can work without interruption, without distractions, and most importantly, study effectively. Even if you are not able to establish such a space in your own home, you should make every effort to recreate as many of the features described above, in another location. Once established it is easy to maintain, and grows in usefulness as you grow more comfortable in it.

Study Shows Low-Sodium Diet Can Decrease Blood Pressure as Effectively as Some Medications

October 29, 2010
By

A new study published in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology says that women who limit their salt intake can substantially lower their blood pressure.

In fact, the study, which looked at the health benefits of a low-sodium diet for postmenopausal women, showed that some women’s blood pressure decreased by 16 points — as much as would be expected from some blood pressure-lowering medications.

The study tracked 35 healthy postmenopausal women with systolic blood pressure (the higher number in a reading) from 130 to 159. For three months, half the group walked briskly 30 to 40 minutes a day, at least four days a week, but ate their usual diet. The others limited their total salt intake to about a teaspoon (3,000 mg) per day, while maintaining their usual level of activity. The systolic blood pressure dropped for both groups — five points among women who exercised, and 16 points among the women who ate little salt.

But changing eating habits to lower sodium intake can be easier said than done. The Mayo Clinic and NoSalt salt substitute offer some tips for stocking your kitchen and eating at home that can help establish healthier eating habits and lower your blood pressure.

– Make a list. Plan your meals weekly and include all the ingredients you’ll need on your grocery list. Don’t forget breakfast and some snacks. Be sure to read labels of prepared foods and stock up on fresh fruits and vegetables.

– Buy fresh. Generally, fresh foods are healthier than prepared foods because you can control what ingredients are added. Fresh foods generally also have better color, flavor and nutrients.

– Don’t shop on an empty stomach. If you shop when you’re hungry, you’re more likely to buy foods you don’t need, which may contain high amounts of fat and sodium.

– Look at labels. Take time to read labels and compare similar foods. Choose those that are most nutritious.

– Stock your kitchen wisely. Healthful foods aren’t necessarily hard to find or expensive. Choices like low-fat or fat-free milk and cheeses, brown or white rice, bagels, pasta, legumes (black, red and navy beans, for example), skinless chicken and extra-lean cuts of beef all contribute to lower fat and sodium levels.

– Use healthful cooking techniques. Cook with less salt and little or no oil or other fat. To enhance flavors, use onions, herbs, spices, vinegars and salt substitutes like NoSalt salt alternative. Cutting the amount of meat in stews and casseroles and substituting lower fat dairy products, such as reduced fat cream cheese and sour cream, also help. Grill, broil, roast or stir-fry foods instead of frying.

The Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension eating plan is a proven method to lower blood pressure. This diet is a combination of reduced saturated fat and sodium that emphasizes fresh fruits and vegetables, low-fat dairy products and recommends limiting sodium intake to 3,000 milligrams (about one teaspoon) per day. That may seem like a lot, but because sodium is hidden in many foods (for example, one cup of skim milk contains 127 milligrams of sodium), salt intake can add up quickly.

Generally, it takes about six weeks for taste buds to get used to less salty foods, experts say. But once you get started and settle into the routine, you’ll notice many benefits of an improved diet. And following a low-sodium diet doesn’t mean you can’t eat foods you love. It’s a matter of reading labels and making good food choices.

For more information on lowering your sodium intake and the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension diet, call NoSalt for an educational brochure at (800) 228-4722.

Obesity In Teens – A New Study To Assess The Advisability Of Bariatric Surgery

October 29, 2010
By

The number of bariatric surgeries performed for obesity in teens has risen markedly in recent years but still represents only a fraction of the total number of weight loss surgeries carried out each year.

While surgeons are increasingly coming to the conclusion that many obese teenagers will ultimately require surgery, and that this is perhaps best performed sooner rather than later, there are nonetheless concerns about the safety of bariatric surgery in adolescents and about the longer-term effects of performing surgery at such an early age.

In 2003 a study known as LABS (Longitudinal Assessment of Bariatric Surgery) was launched to look at the benefits and risks of bariatric surgery in extremely obese adults and, since its inception, some 4,000 patients have been enrolled in a series of both short-term and long-term studies. No results have yet been released as the study is still ongoing and it is expected to continue through 2007 and into 2008.

As an extension of this study a new study has now been launched, known as Teen-LABS, which will examine the benefits in risks of bariatric surgery in teenagers between the ages of 14 and 19. The study may also look at younger patients if they are considered to meet the strict criteria laid down for the study.

Teen-LABS will study adolescent patients being treated at hospitals in Birmingham, Cincinnati, Houston and Pittsburgh and is expected to enroll a total of about 200 patients over the next 5 years.

The aim of the study will be to assess the benefits and risks by comparing the data collected from the 200 teenagers in the study group with that of 200 adult bariatric patients who have suffered obesity since their teen years. In other words, it will compare the outcome of carrying out surgery in the teenage years to that of waiting until patients reach maturity before performing surgery.

The study will look at a very wide variety of data collected pre-operatively and in the two years following surgery including not simply weight but also such things as body fat, indications of diabetes, episodes of sleep apnea, depression, eating habits, nutrition, the quality of life and much more.

Although we will clearly have to wait some time before the results of the study are published and clinical decisions can be made based upon them, this is nevertheless a step in the right direction in tackling a growing problem.

GastricBypassFacts.info provides information on all aspects of gastric bypass surgery including the problem of obesity in teens and includes several child obesity articles.

Childhood Obesity Study

Childhood Obesity StudyEnlarge Image

An Australian study into childhood obesity by the University of Sydney found that the number of children exercising is 20% higher than in 1997.

Strike one down for the good guys in the war against childhood obesity.

Unfortunately this childhood obesity study also found that the rate of obese children in Australia has increased in children aged between 4 and 16.

What’s the problem.

One of the authors of this childhood obesity study – Dr Michael Booth – said our kids are “simply eating too many calories primarily through junk foods.”

Dr Booth went on to recommend some kind of restriction on marketing junk foods to kids.

Dr Booth is a captain in the fight against childhood obesity.

I say make the junk food advertisers tell the truth.

How many more dire predictions do we need from one childhood obesity study after another before we take action.

Let’s make those junk food manufacturers label their products with warnings like “trans fatty acids in this food have been linked to obesity, cancer, depression and a wide variety of disease.”

Or “this nutritionally barren food is laden with sugar which stimulates the production of insulin in your body leading to a cascade of destructive hormones linked to disease.”

But we can’t completely blame the junk food companies.

As parents a lot of the time we’re the ones buying this junk food for our kids.

A great diet and lifestyle starts at home.

And you can get started with a few insider secrets to raising a healthy child by listening in to the free audio at http://www.raisingahealthychild.com

The greatest childhood obesity study in history is taking place right now and ALL our children are the subjects.

The question is, as a parent are you going to let this be one of those awful studies where all the kids end up with horrible disease…

Or are you going to fight the good fight and help your child become slim, healthy and happy.

Best Tax Law Books For Effective Study

Tax law books are essential for studying ever changing textbook law

Tax law books comprise only a small portion of the material necessary to educate the individual in tax law. We will discuss what is available for the embryonic tax attorney currently in the form of text books and other periodicals. Remember, like many disciplines, the law is an ongoing study of case and textbook law because it is constantly changing. More so than other disciplines because law changes very quickly because it is thoroughly based on the building blocks of law; the six sisters named Who, What, Where, Why, How and When. Tax law is similarly founded on these fine ladies. Law books either as compendiums of case law or indices of the founding principles will find that they address the following questions; to whom does the law pertain; concerning what item, thing or issue does it address; where is this law in effect; why is this law in existence; how is it enforced and organized; and when is it in effect?

There are a number of very handy internet sites that provide resources for selecting the best tax law books for either sale or borrowing through law school libraries. They are organized to provide local law schools, state tax law, ongoing tax news, textbooks, casebooks, law reviews, law journals, tax law article abstracts, resource pages (web sites that have a multitude of tax law resource links) and tax course law from many US law schools (from Northwestern School of Law to the New York University School of Law). This later offering is essentially the lecture notes, written form or in mpg format, the required reading and the extra reading assignment about varying tax law subjects.

This allows the tax law student to learn on his own initiative and function as a budding lawyer. One essential principle about being a lawyer is that to be really successful you have to read, read, and read. Many law schools insist or encourage the development of study groups because of the immense number of outstanding books on law. These groups operate on the principle that several brains are more powerful than one. Each student is assigned particular subject, law book or reference and gives detailed reports on them to the whole. This is claimed to assist the tax law student keep abreast of the vast flow of both good and bad tax law references. You can read more about tax law books and attorney essentials at http://www.taxattorneyresource.com

This sounds like a very good plan when one realizes that there are 50 states and assorted territories in the United States, the complexities of International Tax Law and the many existing nations of the world, each with a different tax law. This amounts to a very large reading syllabus indeed. Lastly, the United States Tax Court publishes on the internet all of its’ landmark opinions but so does each state legislature. This allows a free source for new tax law books. If you live near a local university, chances are that they also have a law school library where you can conduct free research or for a slight user fee. OtherwisePsychology Articles
