CPMG Partners with Youth Fitness Magazine
Sep 4th
San Diego, CA ( PressRelease101 ) September 4, 2010 – In a world dominated by television, video games, and other forms of inactive entertainment, the idea of children going outside to play and entertain themselves is quickly fading into the past. In an effort to combat the growing trend among young people to lock themselves in their homes and avoid sunlight, Children’s Physicians Medical Group (CPMG) has partnered with Youth Fitness Magazine to promote active and healthy lifestyles in children.
CPMG and Youth Fitness Magazine want children to understand that activities like team sports are fun ways to stay fit and healthy. When children are able to establish good health habits in their youth, they are more likely to continue their good health habits through adult hood.
The partnership will also draw attention to the non-physical benefits of youth fitness. Not only are physically active children more likely to lead healthy adult lives, but children who participate in team activities and youth sports are more likely to avoid bad influences that could lead to potentially dangerous behavior. Many youth fitness leaders, like coaches and trainers, often become trusted mentors to children and teens who are able to intervene when they sense that the child is in trouble.
Parents who are considering youth sports for their children will enjoy the fact that CPMG and Youth Fitness Magazine will begin to provide community members with information on safe participation in youth sports. Parents of children with certain medical conditions will need to pay particular attention to the specific risks involved with each sport. Even children with conditions that prevent them from participating in high impact sports will find benefits from becoming involved in low impact team sports.
CPMG and Youth Fitness Magazine understand that many parents will be skeptical over their ability to convince children to put down the remote controls and get outside, but the pair is confident that many children will become self motivated to pursue sports and other healthy activities once they see for themselves the positive physical benefits. Once they see how much faster, stronger, and agile they are than their less active friends, the motivation to continue to improve will always be present.
Healthy children are also more likely to bring home better grades. Children who are physically fit tend to be more focused and attentive in class.
With so many benefits, finding the motivation to encourage kids to be more healthy should be easy. With the help of CPMG and Youth Fitness Magazine, the task can be even easier.

For Many People, Constipation Relief Remains Elusive
Aug 31st
August 30, 2010 – Chronic constipation is an uncomfortable situation, no matter how young or old you are. For years, doctors and patients have searched high and low for remedies and solutions that would provide constipation relief.
While no one really likes to discuss constipation, it is a health condition that affects millions of people each day, causing great disruption to their schedules and overall quality of life.
Though some cases of this illness can be eased with certain foods and medications, these options don’t always provide constipation relief. In addition, many of the over the counter solutions for chronic constipation are very harsh on the digestive system, and can cause even more discomfort when taken.
However, constipation relief may not always come in the form of a pill. Liquid and chewable forms of medication that rely on harsh chemicals to force material out of the intestines may not offer long term results.
Another cause for concern when considering medicinal solutions for chronic constipation is the fact that many traditional medicines may work at first, but lose their effectiveness over time. Worse, yet, these constipation relief medicines can also become habit forming.
Addiction to constipation medicine is another concern that may scare many people away from purchasing constipation relief medicines. The lack of lasting options for relief has caused many individuals plenty of intestinal discomfort.
Some people often turn to home remedies for chronic constipation, but these are not always effective in every case. Some home remedies may be old, outdated, and even dangerous to use.
Another method of constipation relief that people often use is a change of eating habits. Some doctors recommend eating more fruits and vegetables and drinking more water. Other experts suggest that regular exercise will help address chronic constipation troubles.
About Constipation Relief:
Constipation Relief is a goal of many who suffer from chronic constipation. These are many methods of constipation relief, but they may not be permanent. Some methods of constipation relief include diet and exercise changes.

New Hope For Joint Pain Sufferers
Aug 18th
Osteoarthritis is a crippling disease worldwide, with an estimated eight million sufferers in the UK alone. It has been described as like “wearing a suit of rusty armour,” with unrelenting, razor-like pain.
So far medical science has not been able to reverse the degenerative condition.
However a discovery made by a German abbess in the middle ages may now hold the key to not only halting the degenerative process, but also help re-build damaged cartilage.
The holy woman, the erudite Saint Hildegard of Bingen, investigated animal tissue extracts and identified the beneficial effect of calf cartilage broth in the case of joint pain.
The active ingredient of the broth was collagen, which is derived from cartilage.
But a new natural collagen supplement has excited medical professionals following research that claims to have proven it helps regenerate joint tissue in older patients and also helps explain how the regenerative process happens in the joints.
Usually sufferers resort to desperate treatments such as acupuncture, hot packs, cold packs, analgesics, physical therapy, glucosamine, unloading knee braces, and arthroscopic surgery.
But the main ingredient in the product, Flexeze Fortify, is collagen hydrolysate powder – a specially processed form of collagen claimed to be more bioavailable – that is absorbed by our body more easily, than unprocessed collagen.
A double-blind, placebo-controlled study, jointly undertaken in America by Harvard Medical School and Tufts Medical centre in Boston evaluated patients over the age of 48 with arthritis of the knee.
The 30 patients were divided into two groups, a control group and a study group. Half of them took collagen hydrolysate and the other group a placebo.
The MRI scans taken after one week, 24 weeks and 48 weeks, showed patients had significant re-growth of damaged cartilage.
The year-long trial reported that while the cartilage in the placebo group deteriorated over the weeks, the groups taking the supplement collagen hydrolysate (Flexeze Fortify) experienced regeneration in cartilage.
The cell-study results compliment those of researchers at the Kiel- based Collagen Research Institute who reported to the congress of the Osteoarthritis Research Society International (ORSI) in Montreal.
They noted that the bioactive collagen peptides formulation in Flexeze, were found to stimulate cell metabolism in knee-joint cartilage and promote the regeneration of cartilage tissue.
Dr Andrew Carson, a GP who is Associate Dean, GP Education, Birmingham and Solihull and Medical Advisor to the NHS Executive in the West Midlands said: “These two studies show real promise.
“I am not aware of any other product which has been shown to regenerate articular cartilage.
“The best that other products have achieved in the past is a reduction in the speed of disease progression and a subjective improvement in pain sensation.
“The improvements seen in the growth of the articular cartilage in the study group achieved statistical significance.
“I would recommend anyone taking glucosamine and chondroitin to consider this option which is a natural product with no known side-effects.”
Pat Jones, 68, a former Olympic hurdler and now a dog agility trainer from Woking, Surrey, said: “When I was in my teens I was very sporty and realised my sporting dreams by being chosen to represent Great Britain in the hurdles at the 1968 Mexico Summer Olympic Games.
“I’ve always valued being healthy and active and my work as a trainer of agility dogs keeps me on the go all the time.
“Unfortunately my hip and knee joints are now paying the price and I have been diagnosed with arthritis.
“I have been able to manage my condition through diet, exercise and a carefully controlled mixture of painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs and injections.
“Despite this, I regularly suffered from bad flare ups, which would leave me in great pain and aching joints which severely limits my movement.
“If I walked for 20 minutes, I was in dreadful pain for several hours afterwards.
“I didn’t want to undergo knee surgery, because it is a major operation, but for the first time I was beginning to think about it.
“Within a week of starting the Flexeze, I thought I was simply having a good run because my recovery rate after going for a walk was shorter than it had been.
“But the improvement carried on, and suddenly I was able to walk the dogs for two hours a day.
“At Christmas, I stopped taking painkillers for the first time in ten years.
“I still have the odd bad day, but they are few and far between. I have also noticed that my knee is much less swollen than it had been before.’”
Scientific studies appear to back Flexeze’s claims that it is ideal for people who suffer from constant or intermittent joint pain and related conditions such as osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as those who wish to take action to address the deterioration of cartilage in their joints either through age or exercise.
The supplement is available over the web at www.flexeze.co.uk

WIMBLEDON HAYFEVER WARNING!
Jun 22nd
With Wimbledon starting today, a leading allergy expert has warned that players and spectators could be seriously affected this year by hayfever. Prof Jean Emberlin, (director of Pollen UK, the UK pollen monitoring and forecasting service) has just published a new Report which predicts that pollen counts could be high at the Championships which start on 21st June and this combined with air pollution from London could lead to “uncomfortable” conditions for many people. The “Hay Fever and Sport” report sponsored by Care Allergy Defence (a new drug-free, clinically proven hayfever treatment) estimates that up to 150,000 spectators could be affected by sneezing, runny nose and itchy eyes.
Players at the Grand Slam could also fall victim to hayfever, with the younger players likely to be the worst affected as hayfever affects nearly 40% of teenagers. Prof Emberlin warns that “elite sports performance can be seriously affected by hayfever. Who wins and who loses could depend on the pollen count on the day. Hayfever symptoms can directly impact on performance and the exercise required can make symptoms worse which will lead to reduced performance on high pollen count days.”
- One sneeze closes the eyes for a full second
- Sneezing upsets synchronisation and timing
- Hayfever decreases the ability to concentrate
- Nasal flow can be impaired by up to 80%, impairing breathing and adversely affecting cardiovascular performance
Players rumoured to suffer from hayfever include Jelena Jankovic (the ladies number 4 player) and Novak Djokovic (the men’s number 3 player).
95% of hay fever sufferers are allergic to grass pollen which peaks from the end of May until August. Sufferers are advised by Prof Emberlin to:
• Talk to your GP or pharmacist about treatments and remedies. Because of problems with some medications consider using natural barrier treatments like inert cellulose powder (Care Allergy Defence) as this has no known side effects or interactions with other medication
• Check the pollen forecasts
• Get at least 7 hours sleep per night as this helps the immune system
• Pay attention to nutrition, especially vitamin intake
• Wear sunglass to help keep pollen out of the eyes

23-year-old cosmetics entrepreneur Amanda launches brush range
Jun 9th
A young female entrepreneur has launched a range of high quality make up brushes after discovering her clients didn’t know which brushes to buy or how to use them.
23-year-old makeup artist Amanda Sutton from Essex launched Blink in Pink selling a collection of 20 handmade natural hair brushes.
The brushes are made with goat, squirrel, pony and sable hair and the most expensive brush in the range is just £8.99.
The full range of 20 brushes can be purchased together for just £52 which works out at just £2.60 per brush and come in a beautiful co-ordinated brush roll.
Amanda said: “I was surprised to find that most people don’t use makeup brushes to apply their makeup. When I asked why they said they didn’t know where to buy them or which ones to get.
“It can be really off-putting, looking for a brush and being faced with prices in excess of £30.
“I decided to develop a line of affordable, stylish brushes that will last a lifetime and have the quality to create a flawless finish.”
On her website, blinkinpink.com, Amanda posts tips and hints on make-up application and the best way to care for your brushes.
After leaving school at 18, Amanda set up DiscountCosmetics4U when she noticed how expensive high-end make-up was.
Earlier this year Amanda spotted a gap in the Irish market and went on to set up CheapMakeup.ie selling discounted make-up to Ireland.
Her business has grown steadily in the past four years. She puts this down to her relentless focus on giving her customers exactly what they want at the lowest prices.
She sources the makeup from a number of suppliers and buys in bulk to get the best prices.
Amanda has also recently opened her own Beauty Basement in Southend-on-Sea where, by appointment only, clients can choose from a range of makeovers or shop for discounted high-end cosmetics.
