Does Hypnosis Work? A Comparison Study

2007-02-12T01:00:00.000-08:00

American Health Magazine reported the following findings from a recent study.

• Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after 600 sessions

• Behavior Therapy: 72% recovery after 22 sessions

• Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions

The majority of people believe hypnosis is a last resort tool for smoke cessation, weight loss or changing habits. Few people know hypnosis is a dynamic and vital healing process embracing all aspects of mental health care. Hypnosis is client-centered with its focus on the discovery of the origin of a person’s issues. Through the process of hypnosis/regression the unconscious mind goes to the original cause, which then gives the person and practitioner the opportunity to process the original feelings surrounding the original experience/cause. These surrounding feelings can be healed, thus empowering the person to live the life they want to live.

This study clearly points out—Hypnosis is more effective and works more quickly than traditional talk-therapy or psychoanalysis. In a hypnotic state, you are more receptive to new ideas and you can more effectively process the emotions linked to the experiences, which created pain, fear, sadness, anger, guilt, shame, humiliation and low self-esteem.

Hypnosis is a special form of communication to the subconscious mind where habits are established and memory is stored. Because the language of the subconscious mind is visual, the more detailed your image is of your goal, the faster your subconscious mind will create the changes you desire. Once your subconscious accepts a new idea, you automatically accept it at a conscious level.

Hypnosis is a natural state of the mind that is between the aware state and sleep. Driving a route you are familiar with and not being conscious of every turn you make is similar to the hypnotic state. Hypnosis allows you to access your subconscious mind, which makes up 90% of your brain which stores all memory. With hypnosis, you reprogram and release thought patterns and habits to make desirable, lasting changes in your life.

You are in control: Hypnosis is completely relaxing and you are completely aware during the experience. It's a myth that someone is making you do something. The hypnotherapist helps you connect with your subconscious mind, which puts YOU in control of your subconscious mind—the most powerful and empowering aspect of your brain. Hypnosis restores your freedom of choice, which you haven't had in many years!

Do What Your Body Needs

2007-02-04T22:21:00.000-08:00

Most people wonder where they should start when they are ready to start improving their health. There is so much information on getting healthy and every practitioner or health guru wants you to start with their program. So what do you need to do and where do you go for that information.

If you go to your health food store you will find numerous colon cleansing products and in health magazine you will finds many advertisements on colonics.

If you first concentration on improving your colon health, you will do your whole body a favor and you will start to feel and be healthier. Because your colon serves your whole body with nutrients and information, you can make a big impact on becoming healthier.

Every part of your body is reflected in the colon. This means that every spot on the colon corresponds to some part of the body. It is through this spot that nutrients and information is sent to that part of the body. Can you imagine if that spot that represents your brain is filled with toxic matter and filled with layer after layer of toxic material that has built up over the years.

When the brain spot on your colon is corrupted, then toxins move readily into your brain and in addition traumatic life incident can readily move into the brain and settle there forever. The toxins in the brain make you senile in old age and the traumatic feeling can activate a heart attack when your heart immune system weakens.

Don't skip breakfast

“Children and adults do better on attention and memory tests [when they eat breakfast],” says dietician and exercise physiologist at Health Magazine Samantha Heller. “It helps prevent or lower the risk of obesity and heart disease and diabetes so what you want to do is make sure you get some breakfast in. It doesn't have to be big.”

Heller recommends you have a combination of protein, whole grains and a little good fat in the morning. One option? An egg white omelet with vegetables cooked in olive oil on whole wheat toast.

“The whole grains are really good for you,” says Heller. “They give you the vitamins and minerals and fiber that you need and some people only get their whole grains at breakfast so we encourage that.”

Heller says a diet rich in whole grains has been proven to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease. Other food choices include: whole grain cereal with low fat milk, a whole wheat bagel with tofu or low fat cream cheese even a peanut butter and jelly on whole wheat bread. You may also want to supplement your meal with fruits.

This was evident from the response his show ‘Fashion Files’ generated last week. With collections from designers such as Shantanu and Nikhil, Aki Narula, Suneet Verma, Arjun Khanna, Tarun Tahiliani and so on, the fashion bazaar was an instant success.

But Rohit insists that he has a long way to go. “This is just the beginning for I’ll be soon launching a 20,000 sq feet store; one that will have larger store space and yes, an art gallery as well.”

Ask him about love affair with fashion and he replies matter-of-factly, “I travel a lot in the course of my work as a result of which I now have this passion for clothes. Where art is concerned, my family’s more into it; nevertheless, I find the art world very fascinating.” He then adds how he really appreciates Yash Birla for his contribution to the art fraternity. “It takes a lot of guts to do something you believe in,” he notes.

If this is not enough, he’s even planning to start a parallel two-day fashion week in Hyderabad. “I think Hyderabad’s ready for one,” he observes. And then of course, he’s tied up with Sheetal Maftalal to bring down many more international brands. “Valentino’s just a start; Sheetal’s planning to bring down many more brands and I’ll team up with her to make sure Hyderabad doesn’t miss out on any of this,” asserts Rohit, who’s soon going to be on the cover of the Men’s Health magazine.

Indeed, this Hyderabad boy is going places and how!

Columbia has a long way to go when it comes to diabetes treatment in men. That's the conclusion of a new study by Men's Health magazine.

They studied 100 major cities across the country. Columbia finished 92nd overall, earning a grade of "F."

Men's Health used a number of factors to reach its conclusion. Researchers looked at the number of diabetes cases in each city.

They also studied risk factor information from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those risk factors included obesity, high blood pressure, and physical activity.

health magazine about diabetes

2006-11-16T23:01:00.000-08:00

Shortly thereafter, I started using an insulin pump to help me control my diabetes. The device is so small that while I was competing in the Miss America pageant, the judges actually asked me where it was hidden! The pump delivers precise doses of insulin 24 hours a day through a six-millimeter catheter placed under the skin. The pump is programmed to change the amount of insulin delivered based on my individual body metabolism. This technology made it possible for me to achieve nearly everything I have aspired to. I have been wearing the pump for nearly 10 years, during which I have participated in the Miss America program, handled high levels of stress, traveled worldwide and recently had a perfectly healthy baby. Today, I'm benefiting from the latest advances in diabetes management, including a "smart pump" with carb-counting software and a continuous glucose monitor. These miracles of medical technology have allowed me to live life on my terms instead of being dictated by my disease.

Now, eight years after my unforgettable term as Miss America, I still spend every day as a diabetes warrior. I travel extensively speaking out about this condition to patient groups and healthcare providers. I also have the opportunity to communicate about diabetes issues as a columnist for Diabetes Health Magazine and as the host of "dLife" on CNBC every week.

In this month's Men's Health Magazine, the "Ask The Girl Next Door" section looks at how to use the Wii to get your girlfriend into gaming. While we don't have the actual article to summarize the advice, I can probably extrapolate based upon my own experience getting my own non-gamer girlfriend trained in the complexities of handling an eight-inch, opalescent Wiimote.

At first, she was a bit bashful, so I put it in her hand. "Don't be afraid, baby..." I cooed. "Just hold it in your palm. Get used to the feel, the contour, the shape, the slight ergonomic curve."

"It's heavy!" she remarked.

"I know! But you'll get used to it. Just wag it around a little bit. Yeah, like that."

"I don't really feel comfortable with this, Flor..." she complained.

"No, no, keep playing with it, dammit. You'll learn to love it. Bond with it. Give it a little kiss. Well? What are you waiting for?"

"But I don't like it! It makes me feel self-conscious."

"Listen, I don't care. If you want this relationship to last, you'll damn well get comfortable with the Wii. What? Wait, where are you going?" But with the sound of hysterical weeping and a resounding bang of the bathroom door, she'd run out of the room to cry. Women!

This may not be the advice that The Girl Next Door gives, however. "Calling [your girlfriend] over to watch you pistol whip a hooker in GTA or solve the riddle of the moon druids in Myst IV is not the way. Maybe you should buy that new Nintendo system with the stupid name, Wii. It was designed to suck video-dissing women into the virtual world. Personally, I'm addicted to Rockstar's Table Tennis and Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Chaos Theory."

So pistol whipping hookers doesn't appeal to women, but slitting guys throats from behind does? I'll say it again: women! Utterly inexplicable. Florian Eckhardt

If you're seriously interested in knowing about health magazine, you need to think beyond the basics. This informative article takes a closer look at things you need to know about health magazine.

Realistically, it is only fair to say that the sun beds are a much more carefully controlled type of light but a healthy degree of caution doesn't hurt anyone. Clearly, the most important factor is not that we can obtain a bronze tan artificially and indoors using a tanning bed but that we should always look after the health and welfare of our skin. Aside from the more serious health implications some skin experts and dermatologist now believe that tanning beds can actually make the skin look older by making it more susceptible to wrinkles. This is not good for many consumers because the whole point of using tanning beds is to make your skin look better. There is no doubt that for people who use them regularly tanning beds can make them look good, but it does not mean that they or anyone else should ignore the possible tanning bed dangers.

As with much of today's health scares regarding so many things these days it is becoming increasingly difficult and just plain hard to avoid everything that could be less than good for you or harmful to your health. You would certainly live a very different way if you tried to, but if there are real tanning bed dangers then it is probably not a good to ignore them. The best person to ask for advice on the effects of a tanning bed on your skin and to find out what you should be doing if you are worried is your doctor or dermatologist. They should be in a much better position to tell you whether it is safe for you to use a tanning bed or not. Even if you read all of the health magazine articles laying around you will not really know whether or not it is safe and it is much better to ask a health professional than to just guess or not even know.

Knowledge can give you a real advantage. To make sure you're fully informed about health magazine, keep reading.

Although there has been a great deal of publicity about tanning bed dangers it is not really possible to know what it is based on and whether you need to modify your use of them or not. But it is a good idea to try to find out more about the possible risks to your skin health.

I hope that reading the above information was both enjoyable and educational for you. Your learning process should be ongoing--the more you understand about any subject, the more you will be able to share with others.

His publication, Strength and Health was all about what the title indicated. Mr. Hoffman was deeply interested in health, as well as strength. In 1961 some of his thoughts on the benefits of regular exercise were published for the edification of readers the world over who were not only interested in sports and weightlifting but also in good health.

Current info about health magazine is not always the easiest thing to locate. Fortunately, this report includes the latest health magazine info available.

Who wouldn’t get happy after listening to Ellen joking about herself or the happenings of everyday life? Women like Ellen have a unique talent and provide a special gift to humanity; they help lighten the load in life by showing you a more balanced, less serious perspective.

Sometimes you can get the most emotional release from laughing in the most stressful situations. Have you ever had the urge to laugh uncontrollably and the most inappropriate times like at a funeral or when someone falls? I’ve laughed in both those scenarios. Scientific studies show that laughter can boost the immune system and alleviate stress by releasing endorphins in the brain. After prescribing laughing to his patients, Indian doctor, Madan Kataria founded the first laughter club in 1995. A 2003 article in Health Magazine reported there are now over 60 laughter clubs in the U.S.

In her book, I’d Rather Laugh, Linda Richman (the real person behind the Saturday Night Live character in Coffee Talk with Linda Richman created by her son-in-law, Mike Myers.) talks about losing her father at eight years old, being raised by her mentally ill mother who was eventually institutionalized, losing her twenty-nine-year old son in a car accident, and having to spend eleven years inside her apartment because she suffered with agoraphobia. She says, “No matter what horrible thing has happened, life still offers you humor if you want it....regardless of how low you feel today, someday you’ll find something that will make you laugh your head off.” Through her writing and workshops, she helps others find the inherent humor in everyday life.

Once you begin to move beyond basic background information, you begin to realize that there's more to health magazine than you may have first thought.

Something that always lightens me up is watching reruns of the TV show, Bewitched, where anything is possible with just a twitch of the nose or a wave of the hand from Samantha Stephens, the happy good witch with extraordinary powers and charm who lights up a room with her smile and wit. Her all too serious and worrisome husband, Darrin, doesn’t ever figure out how much fun life could be if he just allowed Samantha to fully unleash the power of the Goddess within her. It’s a good reminder to bring out the Samantha inside of us as often as possible.

Next time you start magnifying and internalizing all of your problems as we all do from time to time, listen to the Goddess inside. I’m sure she’s telling you, “Twitch your nose and lighten up, already!”

The following paragraphs summarize the work of health magazine experts who are completely familiar with all the aspects of health magazine. Heed their advice to avoid any health magazine surprises.

This of course, works both ways as your site is also listed on competitor sites. So having a good balance of both competitor sites and related sites is the best answer.

Planning your links page is important in that you need to determine how you want it to look, what categories you will have and the size and positioning of the links. Will you just have text links or will you accept banner links?

It is good practice to have the Link menu button placed in a prominent position on your home page. This is also a point to remember when evaluating possible link partners - on some website you can spend ages searching for the Link button and the Link pages.

There is also the practice of placing extremely good beneficial links on other pages of your website. For example:

Those of you not familiar with the latest on health magazine now have at least a basic understanding. But there's more to come.

If your site is promoting health products you may very well want to place a banner ad on your homepage for say a health magazine.

In most cases you will be required to place a link on your website first prior to requesting a link exchange. Once you have placed the link, send an email advising that you have visited their site and believe a link exchange would be beneficial to both parties. Mention something about the site that impressed you, this way they will know you have actually visited their website. Endeavor to get a name to address the email to if at all possible.

When you've answered your questions, you'll be able to work out your slant on the material. A slant is an angle. The angle you take depends on the publication. If it's a health magazine, your angle could be: oranges cure cancer, or oranges prevent cancer. (Note: I made these two slants up. Neither one's true as far as I know.)

That's how things stand right now. Keep in mind that any subject can change over time, so be sure you keep up with the latest news.

You should be able to find several indispensable facts about health magazine in the following paragraphs. If there's at least one fact you didn't know before, imagine the difference it might make.

Bob Hoffman of York, Pennsylvania, was a highly decorated war hero in the First World War. He was also an Olympic coach and owner of the York Barbell Company. In addition to that he was publisher of Strength and Health magazine for many years. Coach Hoffman has always been a favorite of mine and I had the chance to meet him about fifty years ago at a body building competition.

His publication, Strength and Health was all about what the title indicated. Mr. Hoffman was deeply interested in health, as well as strength. In 1961 some of his thoughts on the benefits of regular exercise were published for the edification of readers the world over who were not only interested in sports and weightlifting but also in good health.

Coach Hoffman believed one of the primary benefits of regular vigorous exercise was increased blood circulation. Poor circulation is the cause of much pain and discomfort. In most people the blood supply below the ankles is much less than above. This often results in cold or painful feet. Legs and ankles swell because circulation is insufficient to remove cellular waste and carry it to the organs of elimination. Regular scientific exercise increases strength and improves the functionality of all glands and internal organs.

In today's world, it seems that almost any topic is open for debate. While I was gathering facts for this article, I was quite surprised to find some of the issues I thought were settled are actually still being openly discussed.

CALORIES! The word we will almost certainly come across in any health magazine and article. It is the word we always see at the back of the packaging of every food item. We think we know it so well. Well.. do we? To some unsuspecting exercise fanatics.. the word 'calorie' is sometimes thought of as a bad thing. Is it really? What is a calorie then? Simply said, a calorie is a unit of energy in food, and food consists of carbohydrates, protein, and fat, with some drinks containing alcohol. Carbohydrates have 4 calories per gram, Proteins 4 calories per gram, and Alcohol has 7 calories per gram. Fat has 9 calories per gram. Calories are simply the amount of 'stored energy', or a 'measure of fuel' in a food item. It is not something bad that we should avoid or something harmful to our body. In fact, we need calories to survive.

Therapeutic Hypnosis is proven to be the most effective and fastest route to solve emotional issues. American Health Magazine reported the following findings from a recent study.

• Psychoanalysis: 38% recovery after 600 sessions

• Behavior Therapy: 72% recovery after 22 sessions

• Hypnotherapy: 93% recovery after 6 sessions

The information about health magazine presented here will do one of two things: either it will reinforce what you know about health magazine or it will teach you something new. Both are good outcomes.

Therapeutic Hypnosis is a special form of communication to the subconscious mind where habits are established and memory is stored. Because the language of the subconscious mind is visual, the more detailed your image is of your goal, the faster your subconscious mind will create the changes you desire. Once your subconscious accepts a new idea, you automatically accept it at a conscious level.

Losing muscle is always a bad thing. You shouldnt strive just to burn as much calories as possible to lose weight and be a smaller version of yourself, but you should strive to build a more fitter, efficient and stronger body - which will cause you to naturally look good and be in excellent shape! In other words, we should strive for a physique transformation, and not a physique reduction. Carelessly overlooking the importance of calorie consumption will only bring more harm in the long run, and make it more difficult for you to keep your weight under control in the future. There.. now you know how calories affect you.

When word gets around about your command of health magazine facts, others who need to know about health magazine will start to actively seek you out.

Current info about health magazine is not always the easiest thing to locate. Fortunately, this report includes the latest health magazine info available.

It's agreed that if you raise the amount of calories you burn and watch what you eat, both the food and the portions, you'll eventually start losing weight. Don't make it more complicated than this.

Step 1 is exercise. You have to. Do cardio and this doesn't mean you have to run. There are plenty of cardio exercises that will give you results and this even includes walking at a good pace. And add weight training to the mix because the muscle you'll build will help you burn more calories. Aim to workout 3-5 days per week.

Step 2 is watch what you eat. You have to. Nutrition is very important and until you realize this, it's going to constantly be an uphill battle. If you feel guilty eating something, that's your intuition telling you not to eat it. Avoid the foods that you know you should avoid, like heavy creams and fried & fast food, and limit how much sugar you take in. Foods that you should eat more of, however, include olive oil, peanut butter, chicken, fish, greens, fruit, vegetables, oatmeal and nuts.

If your health magazine facts are out-of-date, how will that affect your actions and decisions? Make certain you don't let important health magazine information slip by you.

As with much of today's health scares regarding so many things these days it is becoming increasingly difficult and just plain hard to avoid everything that could be less than good for you or harmful to your health. You would certainly live a very different way if you tried to, but if there are real tanning bed dangers then it is probably not a good to ignore them. The best person to ask for advice on the effects of a tanning bed on your skin and to find out what you should be doing if you are worried is your doctor or dermatologist. They should be in a much better position to tell you whether it is safe for you to use a tanning bed or not. Even if you read all of the health magazine articles laying around you will not really know whether or not it is safe and it is much better to ask a health professional than to just guess or not even know.

Lastly, you'll notice that once you start to lose weight, your motivation will sky rocket. Take this motivation and run with it! The same goes for your will power- as you continue to watch what you eat, you'll start to notice that the bad foods don't look so good anymore. You can do it!

There are always recommendations that are supplied with the tanning beds and it is always a good idea to read these to make sure that you are using them safely.

The day will come when you can use something you read about here to have a beneficial impact. Then you'll be glad you took the time to learn more about health magazine.

You should be able to find several indispensable facts about health magazine in the following paragraphs. If there's at least one fact you didn't know before, imagine the difference it might make.

That's what you need to do. That's why you are going to learn from your competition (and others) and not just read books on marketing. A book can give you some great generic tips and ideas on product, location, presentation, etc. but what is going to show you what actually works? Simple question, simple answer. What's working for others is what will probably work for you.

To use Other People's Good Ideas, you first want to establish a "swipe file". This will be a collection of advertisements, letters, and other marketing material that appears to be successful, eye catching, or of other value to you in preparing your own ads and copy material. Now, you are not going to use someone else's material word for word, but if a technique, headline, or turn of phrase is working for someone else, surely there is some way to adapt it to your needs.

If something stands out or catches your attention, you want to keep a copy of it and see if you can use a variation of it in your own marketing. Something a little less obvious is the ad that doesn't seem to that great, but keeps running week after week, or month after month. It will usually only keep running like that if it is helping someone make money! You may have to study the ad carefully, maybe even order the materials offered, or acquire a sample of the product in order to determine the effectiveness of the ad.

If your health magazine facts are out-of-date, how will that affect your actions and decisions? Make certain you don't let important health magazine information slip by you.

Not everyone entering these contests understand that it is a short-term solution... to see how far the body can be pushed as quickly as possible. After that point, training must take on a more cyclic structure. This means maintaining most of what was accomplished during the physique transformation followed by ‘easier’ off-season training and peaking infrequently thereafter. Fat loss may continue after the contest, or prior to another peak, but 100% mental effort and extreme demands may only account for 8-12 weeks total throughout the year once reaching an advanced stage. Training throughout the remainder of the year can still be tough, yet tolerable and never as demanding.

I don’t believe most beginner trainees realize the importance of cycling or what needs to be done after a physique transformation challenge. Most magazines don’t talk about it, nor do bodybuilding books. They present general ideas and expect you to lift happily ever after. It is for this reason that physique transformation contests and magazines as a whole produce greater failure than success in. The thoughts of maintaining or bettering one’s physique after 12-weeks of grueling effort is enough to shatter anyone’s motivation. Believing that you must continue training in a similar manner (something to which we have all fallen victim) is the best guarantee to exercise termination.

Knowing enough about health magazine to make solid, informed choices cuts down on the fear factor. If you apply what you've just learned about health magazine, you should have nothing to worry about.

health magazine: Women's Health Magazine Study Reveals 37% of Women Expect to Live to 100, Though Few Desire It; Results Find Women Fear Cancer

2006-09-06T20:29:00.000-07:00

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 6, 2006--Thirty seven percent of Women's Health magazine readers believe that they'll live to 100 years old, while only 12 percent actually desire to live to that age, according to an exclusive study conducted by the magazine. Readers were polled in conjunction with the title's feature package on "Living to 100"--a special report in the September issue of Women's Health, on newsstands now.

"The most surprising result of the study is that young women aren't comfortable with what old age can look like and feel like today," said Tina Johnson, editor-in-chief, Women's Health. "So much so that some actually prefer living a shorter life! In this Special Report on living to 100, we hope to change readers' perceptions of growing older and show them that small steps can and will result in feeling healthier in their later years. What we now know about disease prevention, nutrition and the importance of exercise makes aging more gracefully and really thriving in old age much more of a reality."

Women's Health poll results reveal:

-- Percentage of readers who actually want to live to 100: 12

-- Percentage of readers who think they will live to 100: 37

-- Reasons why the remaining 63% say they won't: "Global warming" and "too many diseases"

-- The average age bracket readers would like to live to: 80's

-- The average age readers see themselves retiring: 70

-- The top two things they know they will accomplish by age 100: Having children and traveling

-- Percentage of readers who believe they'll leave their mark on this world before 100: 77

-- Number of countries the average woman expects to visit in a lifetime: 5-10

-- Percentage of readers who plan to live and die in their hometown: 2

-- 62% of readers fear Cancer the most, though cardiovascular disease is the number one cause of death in women. Alzheimer's was second most-feared disease.

These results are based on an email poll of 1,065 Women's Health readers, age 18 and older, conducted in June 2006.

health magazine: Refined lad’s mags

2006-09-04T21:44:00.000-07:00

By RUBIN KHOO

M EN’S magazines – there was a time when the term conjured up a couple of very different images, namely sports, cars or girls. Tips on grooming and fashion or even some advice on how to handle life’s big decisions would have meant sneaking a peek at your girlfriend’s magazine.

Well, that was then. These days, men are spoilt for choice when it comes to magazines. Just take a glance at the magazine shelf of any bookstore and you’ll find several men’s titles. .

“Trends are changing,” says Richard Augustin, editor of FHM Malaysia. “Men’s magazines are sprouting everywhere.”

Generally, men’s magazines tended to focus only on certain areas – cars, sports, gadgets, personality and girls. To gauge what and who’s trendy, guys had to look elsewhere. Ten years ago, GQ was probably the only trend guide men had. The number of foreign magazines in the market has since increased rapidly but they are no longer our only guide to what’s hot and what’s not.

Local versions of international titles like FHM and Men’s Health are quickly dominating newsstands alongside homegrown Malay magazines like Maskulin. Singaporean magazines are also making their presence felt with Malaysian editions of magazines like New Man and Men’s Folio. Recently, even women’s magazine Glam came out with a men’s issue, acknowledging the growing men’s market.

“We wanted to be at the forefront as Malaysian men were becoming more fashion- and style-savvy,” says Eddy Koh, Men’s Folio publisher, Eddy Koh, on the launching of Men’s Folio in 2003.

“The post-1970 generation grew up designer- and brand-conscious,” he adds.

Just take a look at the growing number of men’s standalone stores or dedicated men’s sections by international fashion brands, he says. That’s proof enough that Malaysian men are keen to know what’s the hottest and latest fashion, style and design trends – which is what Men’s Folio is all about.

The magazine is dedicated to fashion, style and design while exhibiting an appreciation for the finer things in life. It’s about catering to a lifestyle that encompasses travel, dining and what was traditionally considered women’s territory – the home.

“Men’s Folio is about refined understatement,” says Koh.

For more in-your-face stuff, there’s FHM. It’s less-than-modest pictorials and saucy interviews have made the magazine a popular choice among those aged between 18 and 25, an age group that comprises college students and young professionals.

The magazine thrives on controversy and locally, it has had its fair share of it. Remember Ning Baizura’s revelations in 2000? Nonetheless, FHM Malaysia is a lot more conservative compared to its counterparts.

“There are guidelines to follow in Malaysia,” says Augustin. “Countries like Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines are more open-minded so it is a challenge for us.”

Even the US edition, he says, is tamer that the British equivalent which features topless shots. FHM Malaysia however overcomes these challenges by playing up the writing, and keeping it funny and witty.

For Men’s Health magazine, it’s all about providing the reader with information that they can use.

“It’s a guide for the guy,” says its editor Eric Chan. “A magazine to live by which covers all bases.”

They thus aim to appeal to everyone. The average Men’s Health reader, however, will probably be someone aged between 25 and 35 – not necessarily a gym freak but someone who is conscious about self-improvement. The writing, however, isn’t instructive. Instead, it takes a “guy talking to another guy” approach.

Each magazine may have its respective niche but how do the publications ensure that their magazine is bought? The general perception is that men aren’t regular buyers of magazines.

“Women will always outstrip men when it comes to buying magazines,” concurs Koh.

Men’s Folio thus adopts a two-pronged approach. It is available on newsstands and is also free to customers at leading boutiques. This is to ensure that Men’s Folio reaches the hands of individuals with a high propensity to shop.

“I think guys have a fixed amount of money for magazines,” says Chan but he adds that Men’s Health caters to a niche audience. The approach to building a loyal following is by remaining true to its concept, providing only useful information to its reader.

But competition is becoming tougher. Recently, two magazines – V Mag and Chrome – ceased publication. Talk, however, is rife of others opening up. And the battle isn’t confined to just local magazines. Foreign lifestyle magazines as well as news and current affairs magazines also provide an alternative to the magazine buyer.

“Everyone is a competitor,” says Augustin.

Some magazines even have to compete with their foreign partners. Why buy Men’s Health Malaysia when you can pick up the Australian or British edition?

Making the content relevant is one way. Men’s Health, says Chan, localises its stories. So does Men’s Folio, which makes it different from its Singapore edition.

“The Malaysian edition contains news stories specific to Malaysia. These range from interviews with local personalities in the fashion and lifestyle industries making the news in Malaysia,” says Koh

“Readers can discover Malaysia’s hottest movers and shakers in our personality profile pages. These are people Malaysians want to know about, whom they will not hear about in foreign magazines,” he adds.

But when all the magazines are jostling for space on a shelf, how do you ensure that someone picks up your magazine instead of others? Well, the cover certainly plays a part.

For FHM, that comes in the form of a sultry female but is it a problem to get local celebs to pose? Apparently not.

“It’s a double-edged sword because FHM has over 30 editions which means that if you have been featured on the cover of FHM, there’s a possibility of being featured worldwide. Four or five girls have already been featured.”

If FHM goes for the bombshell, Men’s Health’s covers are aimed to connect with the average guy. Their magazine naturally features just guys on the cover. But they aren’t celebrity-driven.

“We portray the Men’s Health guy,” says Chan. “The guy on the cover has to look like someone you can chill out and have a beer with.”

health magazine: Shanghai marks first Men's Day

2006-08-09T02:30:00.000-07:00

(Shanghai Daily)
Updated: 2006-08-05 15:16

Male employees at 50 multinational companies in Shanghai took time off work on Thursday to celebrate "Men's Day."
The holiday was created three years ago by the editor-in-chief of the Chinese edition of Men's Health magazine, who goes by the nickname Shou Ma. He called for the day to be celebrated with a Men's Day party, which was held in Shanghai for the first time this year.

Shou said he plans to promote the festival across the country. Shou picked August 3 (the third day of the eighth month) for Men's Day, as it is opposite of International Women's Day on March 8 (the eighth day of the third month).

The local offices of Marlboro, BMW and Volkswagen, among other large companies, allowed their male employees to relax on Thursday. Male editors from Men's Health magazine were given the day off their regular duties, but had to spend the day preparing for the Men's Day party.

"It was not my original intention to provide male employees a day-off," Shou said.

"It is a day for men to release their stress," he added.

health magazine: Aussies praised for loyalty in sex charts

2006-08-08T00:30:00.000-07:00

August 08, 2006 02:07pm

THEY'RE obsessed with footy, love a beer and enjoy hanging out with their mates, but Aussie blokes are also among the most faithful in the world.

An international survey of 40,000 men has revealed 60 per cent of Australian men have never strayed, ranking just behind the Germans and Poles at 62 per cent.

The poll, for Men's Health magazine found Britons spent the most time on foreplay, but flopped when it came to endurance, with Mexicans coming first for stamina in the bedroom.

South Korean men are having sex more times a week than anyone else in the world, while hot-blooded Brazilian men are at it with a wider range of women.

On average, South Koreans said they were having sex at least four times a week, while Filipinos were world-beaters at masturbation, doing it almost six times a week.

Brazilians topped two categories, with 19 per cent saying they had had a threesome, which might help account for them having clocked up the most lovers, the internationally published fitness magazine said.

British men spend or claim to spend an average of 17.44 minutes on foreplay per sex session, longer than Australians (17.2 mins), Germans (16.92 mins) and Mexicans (16.91 mins).

But British men last only 18.64 minutes from foreplay to climax, far behind the Mexicans (23.17 minutes) and the Dutch (22.42 minutes).

Women might want to keep an eye out for an Italian lover 60 per cent of Italian men said they made their partner climax every time.

health magazine: Enthusiasm for Nextel Cup keeps growing

2006-08-06T23:31:00.000-07:00

Sunday, aug. 6, 2006

By Steve T. Gorches / Post-Tribune staff writer

It was pretty quiet at around 10:30 a.m. on Sunday, July 9, in the media conference room at Chicagoland Speedway.

Most of the NASCAR reporters were settling in before the USG Sheetrock 400, waiting for some real celebrities to enter the room — the cast members of “Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby” — in about two hours.

Jeremy Mayfield had just completed an uneventful news conference about his relationship with his car owner Ray Evernham, which resulted in more yawns than questions.

Then a short, South American man with a designer, collarless shirt — looked like a Gucci — walked in with car owner Chip Ganassi.

The calmness turned into a frenzy.

The once half-filled room overflowed to capacity in mere minutes.

This wasn’t a million-dollar-a-movie actor. This was someone more well-known worldwide than Ricky Bobby portrayer, Will Ferrell. And he was telling the world something not heard very often.

“When people hear I’m going from Formula One to NASCAR, they’ll probably say I’m crazy,” Juan Pablo Montoya said. “But I think it’s exciting. It will be a great challenge for my career. I know how tough it is. There’s a lot of great drivers.”

The Colombian has been one of the most popular open-wheel drivers over the last seven years, whether it’s been with F1 or the defunct CART series.

The move is the equivalent of Luciano Pavarotti walking away from opera singing to record a heavy metal album.

A driver in the most technologically advanced racing series with the most-sophisticated fans (at least they think so) in the world spoke loudly and clearly.

His message was that NASCAR is real racing.

“F1 has been great for me, but the racing is fun here and the fans love it,” he said with a huge smile.

That’s a message that more than 75 million fans in the United States have known for several years, with 300,000 of those fans expected to be in attendance today for the 13th Allstate 400 at the Brickyard at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway.

Now with Montoya deciding to put a roof over his head in the cockpit of his new racecar, expect that large number of fans, most of whom are as diehard as those of any pro franchise, to increase with a huge foreign contingent.

Heck, there are some American sports fans who may start watching NASCAR.

“He’s a Latin driver? Oh yeah, I’ll pay attention to NASCAR just for him,” said Hobart resident Tony Miller, a Latino who admitted he doesn’t pay attention to stock car racing at the moment.

It’s a NASCAR world now. Wherever you look, the signs of NASCAR’s influence are everywhere.

You can’t watch sitcoms on network TV without seeing Kasey Kahne in a commercial for Allstate Insurance or Greg Biffle eating a Subway sandwich with his crew chief.

You can’t drive more than a mile or two on a crowded highway without seeing at least one or two vehicles with Nos. 20, 3, 24 or 8 in the window. Speaking of No. 8, what about that Dale Earnhardt Jr. billboard on the Toll Road headed east?

“When you see those numbers, you know what they mean,” said Joe Vallone, owner of Ranger Motorsports in Dyer and mentor to several former and current pro drivers. “They’re not numbers of football or soccer players.”

Visit a Barnes & Noble bookstore and cruise by the magazine racks and you’ll see a shirtless Carl Edwards on the cover of Men’s Health magazine this month showing of his six-pack abs.

In a little more than 10 years, a sport that was known for bootlegging moonshine and not holding many races north of the Mason-Dixon Line has become a national phenomenon.

This isn’t your father’s NASCAR anymore.

“You never saw the coverage before, bumper stickers on cars, unless you were in the South,” said local racing legend Dave Weltmeyer, who competes at Illiana Speedway and Grundy County in Illinois. “They went out in the markets they had to hit and did the job.”

Even younger casual fans of racing in general are impressed with NASCAR’s surge in society.

“The way they’ve grown the series is masterful,” said Munster native Doug Boyer, who competes in the Formula BMW open-wheel series. “Even 10 years ago it wasn’t as popular as it is now. Back then it was just pure racing — good ol’ boys driving around. Now it’s marketing driven with guys looking all pretty. It’s really boomed quickly.”

Boyer admitted he’s become more of an open-wheel fan in recent years, especially since it’s his livelihood now. But as a pure racing fan, the 19-year-old has to give NASCAR props.

“As it become more popular I kind of faded away from it, but that’s just me,” he said. “I respect them for what they’ve done. I wish the open-wheel series would learn from it.”

It’s all about product placement — visual and vocal.

When you see an interview with a NASCAR driver before a race, let’s say Tony Stewart, you’ll hear him say something like, “Man, I know my crew will have the No. 20 Home Depot Chevrolet running well today.”

Or maybe you’ll hear Jeff Gordon say after a race, “The DuPont Chevrolet No. 24 was great for me in this win,” while sipping from a Pepsi despite being dehydrated from three hours in a scorching cockpit.

Hardcore, old-school racing fans may not like the overindulgence of advertising, but it’s what drives the NASCAR engine, figuratively and literally.

And other sports have copied the success.

Watch a Chicago Cubs game and look to the left of the batter’s box. See that advertising billboard attached to the brick wall that makes extra money for the Tribune Company? You can thank NASCAR for that ingenious product placement.

“You see those bicycle riders in the Tour De France with 'U.S. Postal Service’ on their shirts? They didn’t do that before NASCAR did,” said Vallone, who is friends with Tony Stewart’s family and has worked with Nextel Cup driver Jamie McMurray.

That popularity has carried over into the collectible market with at least one local outlet taking advantage.

“There’s more diehard NASCAR fans up north than there used to be,” said Joe Lauerman, owner of Smokin’ Joe’s NASCAR Collectibles in Leroy for eight years.

“I’ll have fans get a flag or cap before going to one of the races nearby — the Brickyard, Joliet or Michigan — all the time. I’d say NASCAR is the biggest sporting event in the U.S. and Indy is the biggest venue of them all.”

All of that marketing genius wouldn’t mean a thing if there weren’t millions of fans watching and buying the products.

So why is NASCAR as big of a part of American culture as hot dogs and apple pie? Because the average Joe can relate to several aspects of the sport.

It’s an American sport, though Montoya’s arrival changes that slightly, with roots and values that have been entrenched in our society before NASCAR was cool.

It’s fast. We have always had an obsession with speed, and NASCAR couples that need with cars that don’t look that much different from our own.

“The reason people like NASCAR is that they can relate to it,” Boyer said referring to the look of the cars. But it’s so much more than that simple aspect.

It’s consuming. Time, money, energy are all gobbled up like there’s no tomorrow in NASCAR, just like normal, everyday life, right or wrong.

How else do you explain more Americans driving now despite gasoline costs rising on a daily basis? We are a society of mass consumption.

NASCAR also has kept eating fuel more than any other racing series in the world. NASCAR used an estimated 100,000 gallons of fuel in an average season compared to F1 using around 52,000 gallons.

“(Rising fuel costs) are affecting us and the teams like everybody else in America,” said Jim Hunter, vice president of corporate communications for NASCAR in an article on insideracingnews.com.

Fans know the drivers and teams they adore are going through the same rise in gas prices as they are every day.

It’s patriotic and religious. Maybe more so than any other sport, NASCAR fans take patriotism to another level, sometimes over the top. The beginning of every race not only has the usual National Anthem, but adds the traditional fly-by from military jets.

Oh yeah, NASCAR’s biggest race, the Daytona 500, is called “The Great American Race.”

Religion is also a large part of NASCAR, which isn’t too surprising considering its roots in the Bible Belt.

Before every race an invocation is recited, usually by a local church pastor. It’s the only sport that a prayer is openly spoken before an event, and you can bet almost every fan in the stands will say “Amen” afterward.

NASCAR doesn’t prevent its drivers from openly espousing their faith, unlike other sports. A National Football League player was once fined for wearing a cap with a cross on it during an interview.

Longtime driver Morgan Shepherd has “Jesus” on his window.

American values have been planted across the world (fast food restaurants in Third World countries is a prime example), whether by evolution, by choice, or not.

With its conquest of America complete, the rest of the world seems next for NASCAR.

(888-637-2538).

"The launch of Your Health Now magazine in Spanish is a unique
opportunity that provides the Spanish-speaking community with up-to-date
and unbiased health information," said Jane Delgado, Ph.D., President and
Chief Executive Officer of the National Association for Hispanic Health and
a member of the magazine's advisory board. "With more than 31 million
Spanish speakers in the United States, the Spanish-speaking community
welcomes resources, such as Your Health Now."

Issues of Your Health Now have covered topics such as gastrointestinal
disorders and cardiovascular health. The magazine also reviews recent
medical research and offers tips on pet health based on The Merck

health magazine: THE ARE MAD

2006-07-31T00:57:00.000-07:00

By Esther Auyong

July 31, 2006

MAD. That's what some of Madam Evelyn Toh's friends labelled her.

The 35-year-old assistant manager gets up at 5am to squeeze in a swim before work - a 1.5km stretch to be exact. She does this twice a week.

After work, she runs up to 21km twice a week and over the weekend, she rides 78km on her bicycle. That's like riding from Changi to Jurong, and back!

Madam Toh also goes to the gym where she does strength training for up to 90 minutes.

And she goes through the pain because she's into triathlons, biathlons and such gruelling races.

Triathlons are races where participants have to swim, cycle and run certain distances. The Olympic distances are 1,500m of swimming, 40km of cycling and a 10km run.

Biathlons involve swimming and running, while adventure races can include other activities such as abseiling, kayaking and caving.

Madam Toh is among an increasing number of women here whose mantra seems to be 'MAD' - Must Attempt the Distance.

Women triathletes, adventure racers and competitive runners come from all walks of life - from young professionals in their 20s and 30s to grandmothers in their 60s.

Race organisers and sports companies are vying to capture the hearts and wallets of these women.

Mr Jack Chen, a project director with sports marketing company Enterprise Sports Group (ESG) noted that more women had been taking part in competitive running events.

For instance, last year, close to 6,000 women took part in races offered in the Standard Chartered Singapore Marathon, compared to 3,900 in 2004.

Going by this trend, he is not surprised if even more women are taking part this year.

'Marketeers are just beginning to realise the potential of tapping into the women's market,' Mr Chen said.

ESG, founded last year, is involved in organising various local and overseas races, like the Beijing Triathlon and the recent OSIM Singapore Triathlon.

Their clients also include Adidas Singapore and insurance company Aviva.

Mr Chen added: 'With the rise in the number of women getting fit, there will be a demand for equipment, clothes and even, events.'

For example, there's a viable participation rate for women-only events, like the run organised by women health magazine Shape.

health magazine: Gadgets to Improve Your Health and Your Relationship

2006-07-25T22:15:00.000-07:00

July 25, 2006 — Spending time together would be so much easier if you could only use the same iPod during a workout or not fight over cooking space while camping. Nicole Beland, deputy editor of Women's Health magazine, recommends some products that will help a couple spend their precious time together better.

1.Belkin Headphone Splitter, $4, belkin.com.

This device allows the two of you to listen to the same music while you exercise.

2. Om Yoga in a Box for Couples, $25, omyoga.com.

Yoga helps your core, and couples yoga can also strengthen your bond.

Researchers at the University of North Carolina found that intimate touching, like the kind done in couples yoga, releases oxytocin, the hormone associated with emotional closeness.

Yoga in a Box includes two CDs, 70 flashcards, a yoga belt, incense and a mood candle.

3. Hammacher Schlemmer Progression Wake Up Clock, $50, hammacherschlemmer.com.

This progression wake-up clock gently wakes you with gradual ambient light, lively nature sounds and aromatherapy scents. It could lead to a few minutes of morning cuddling.

4. Motorola Talkabout SX700 Two-Way Radios, $80 per pair, hellomoto.com.

Many couples like outdoor vacations, but cell phone service can be sketchy in the backcountry. Two-way radios can be a more reliable mode of communication.

With a range of up to 12 miles, these 22-channel walkie-talkies keep you connected and are very handy in case of an emergency.

5. Coleman RoadTrip LXE Grill, $170, coleman.com.

This large grill offers almost 2 square feet of cooking surface to accommodate two people who may want to cook different things.

6. Schwinn Sierra Tandem, $899, schwinnbike.com.

On this two-seater, the person upfront controls almost everything — breaks, gear and speed.

The Schwinn Sierra features 21 speeds, a bump-dampening suspension fork, and disk brakes for stop-on-a-dime security.

7. Traveler Collection champagne coolers from the house of Veuve Clicquot: The Clicquot Traveler, $80 and The City Traveler, $50, wine.com.

A neoprene lining keeps a previously chilled bottle of champagne cool for two hours.

The Clicquot Traveler is larger and includes a 750-millimeter bottle of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label and two flutes. The City Traveler, which is even more portable, transports a half bottle of Veuve Clicquot Yellow Label.

Both double as stylish handbags, vanity cases, swimming bags or weekend totes.

health magazine: A big weight off mind and body for Lucilla

2006-07-23T21:19:00.000-07:00

BY DI THOMAS

LUCILLA Marshall says she used to wonder why other women were so obsessed with shopping.

Now 55kg lighter than her top weight of 120kg and a size 10 rather than a size 22, Ms Marshall says it was a mystery no longer.

“When I bought my first size 10 jeans I thought ‘I get it’ and now I love going shopping,” she said.

Ms Marshall, 34, said she had had a weight problem throughout her teens and adulthood but it wasn’t until Christmas 2004 when she saw a photograph of herself taken by a friend that “something in my brain switched on”.

“I was a very sad and tired size 22 and it was affecting my relationships,” she said.

“It was difficult to walk up stairs and I couldn’t chase the kids.

“It just got to the point where I thought ‘I can do better’.”

Ms Marshall said the first issue was dismissing the idea that with four children under the age of five and working full-time that she had no time for exercise.

“I felt guilty taking time out for myself but without the support of my partner Stephen it would have been impossible,” she said.

“I also had a lot of support from friends and people at work and that enables you to keep going and is a huge motivator.

“I started out very slowly and walked at least five days a week for half an hour, getting up at 6am before everyone else was awake.

“Now I walk on the weekend for an hour and a half.”

Ms Marshall said she combined her new exercise regime with a diet in which she ate only healthy food.

“I am now a huge salad fan and although I was fussy when I was a child, my kids will eat anything put in front of them.

Ms Marshall is now one of 10 finalists in Slimming and Health magazine’s Slimmer of the Year 2006. Details of the competition and how to vote for her are located at the website www.slimmingandhealth.com.au.

Ms Marshall said 12 months after her weight loss began in January last year, she had returned to her hometown of Armidale in NSW to find old friends didn’t recognise her when she passed them in the street.

health magazine:Being overweight at 18 bodes ill health for women

2006-07-18T02:00:00.000-07:00

By Indo Asian News Service

New York, July 18 (IANS) Being overweight at 18 may increase pre-mature death risk among women, say researchers, but caution that the results need to be confirmed in other groups.

Rob van Dam and other researchers at Harvard School of Public Health studied 102,400 female American nurses who were 24 to 44 years old.

The study, started in 1989, recorded their current height and weight, what their height and weight was at age 18, their history of smoking, drinking alcohol and physical activity.

Premature death risk was higher for nurses who had been overweight or obese at age 18, even if they had only been moderately overweight based on their BMI (body mass index), reported the online edition of health magazine WebMD.

Researchers said the results need to be confirmed in other groups as most of the nurses were white and because self-reported data isn't always accurate.

For instance, the researchers found some under-reporting of weight when they checked some of the nurses' medical records, according to the study published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.

The journal also carries an editorial by an expert William Dietz, who notes that 'the reported effect of overweight on death has been controversial'.

But he sees little argument about links between obesity and adult diseases such as diabetes and heart disease.

Losing extra weight may lower those risks, Dietz points out. Losing 10 percent of body weight can help curb obesity-related high blood pressure, blood fat problems, and glucose (blood sugar) intolerance.

health magazine: When the picking's fresh

2006-07-07T01:32:00.000-07:00

By STACY SMITH SEGOVIA
The Leaf-Chronicle

Vegetables from the Farmers Market, Dot's Truck Patch, Doalnara Organic Farm or any roadside stand have an advantage over the pretty produce on display at grocery stores.

They're fresh.

Ask anyone standing in line to buy Port Royal-grown tomatoes at the Farmers Market for $1.25 a pound why they choose to shop in the heat instead of the air-conditioned comfort of a grocery store, and they'll tell you the same thing. Fresh vegetables and fruit taste much better than specimens that have languished in a distribution warehouse or on a truck for days, weeks, or in the case of apples, even months before they reach your table.

"The reasons for buying locally produced food are compelling," Oklahoma-based organic farmers Emily Oakley and Mike Appel write in a 2005 edition of "Growing for Market." "These include the benefits of eating fresher, tastier and more nutritionally intact food, reducing air pollution and fossil fuel consumption through decreased transportation miles, greater variety selection, preserving farmland and open space, and keeping money within the local economy."

Only two farmers who sell produce at the Farmers Market grow the majority of their produce themselves, but the others buy direct from local Mennonites or farms within 100 miles of here. And that cuts the shipping time that eats away freshness.

Lester "The Fat Man" York, owner of Dot's Truck Patch, named after his late wife, says he buys much of his produce from Amish farmers. Right now, his store on Ashland City Road, also known as the 41A Bypass, is selling cantaloupe, seedless watermelon, honeydew melon, white peaches, nectarines, plums, lemons, lettuce, cabbage, acorn squash, yellow squash, zucchini, corn, okra, eggplant, bell peppers, Vidalia onions, potatoes, tomatoes and honey.

"I love them all," York says. "I can sit down to a vegetable dinner and not even have no meat, just as happy as I can be."

Asked why people should buy vegetables from Dot's Truck Patch instead of at a big grocery store, York's response is familiar. "Mine are fresher."

Writing for Health magazine, Mary Ann Howkins points out that kiwis shipped from New Zealand can be 6 months old before they hit your grocery store shelves. But if you're attentive, you can tell the prime pickings from those you should pass on.

"Be picky. This no-brainer bears repeating," Howkins writes. "When you're buying perishable greens like leaf lettuce, make sure they're in peak condition: If the outer leaves are wilted or their color has faded, it's a sign they're past their prime. Look for bright green caps on strawberries and green, flexible stems on grapes and cherries. The skin of fruits and vegetables should feel full. If it's loose, the fruit has lost moisture — not a good sign."

Of course, if you really want to know exactly how fresh your vegetables are, the best option is to grow them yourself. Although you're too late to plant warm-season vegetables this year, you can still get in some fall vegetables if you plant them in the next week or two.

"People think it takes a lot of land," says Ray Patterson, who sells his home-grown squash and tomatoes at the Farmers Market. "It doesn't."

His motivation?

"The freshness of it," he says. "You can take it and prepare it for a meal just as soon as you get it off the vine."

health magazine: Rodale goes to the movies

2006-07-03T02:01:00.000-07:00

It takes the unusual step of running advertisements for Women's Health in theaters.

By Kurt Blumenau Of The Morning Call

''Women's Health is a new magazine. They're trying to build up brand equity any way they can.''

Can the ideal reader for a women's health magazine be found with her hands around a jumbo cup of soda, a tub of extra-buttery popcorn and a big box of Raisinets?

Rodale thinks so. The Emmaus publishing company advertised in movie theaters for the first time this spring, creating a 30-second commercial trailer for Women's Health, the recently launched counterpart to its hugely successful Men's Health magazine.

Rodale spent about $1 million on the campaign, which aired before blockbusters such as ''Mission Impossible III'' and ''The DaVinci Code'' at theaters in five major cities from late April to the start of June. The spot shows a woman being harassed by fashion models on magazine covers, before finally finding a friendly face on the cover of Women's Health.

''It's an empowering [publication],'' Kate Kelly Smith, the magazine's publisher, said of Women's Health. ''We celebrate everything that's right with women.''

Rodale officials said they consider the campaign a success. A similar television spot may follow, though talks are still in early stages.

Advertising industry analysts said they did not know of another magazine company taking its message to the movies.

On a broad level, though, they said Rodale's cinematic campaign fits in with a new sense of creativity among publishers. Companies such as Rodale are using new tools, such as podcasts and Internet campaigns, to reach their desired audiences anywhere they can, analysts said.

''If you know where your audience is going to be, you can pretty much target that,'' said Barry Janoff, executive editor of Brandweek, a marketing trade publication in New York City.

Rodale, founded in 1930, made its name as a publisher of magazines and direct-mail book titles about healthy living. In recent years, the company has switched its book-publishing focus to the mass market, scoring best-sellers such as ''The South Beach Diet,'' Al Gore's ''An Inconvenient Truth'' and Pete Rose's ''My Prison Without Bars.'' Its magazines include Runner's World and Prevention.

Rodale employs about 700 people locally, and also has operations in the publishing hub of New York City. It had revenues of about $550 million last year, up 13 percent.

$1 million campaign

Rodale officials declined to say how the $1 million ad campaign price tag compares with the company's typical promotional budget. It's no secret, though, that Rodale has high aspirations for Women's Health, which launched in October after five trial issues.

Rodale leaders have said the publication, which combines health, wellness, beauty and lifestyle elements, could redefine the category of women's health magazines, competing against established titles such as Self and Fitness. The company is trying to position Women's Health as a source of sensible, substantive personal advice to professional women between ages 25 and 39.

''At Women's Health, we're not about the rules, or the hunt, or the great big boy/girl game,'' Rodale declared in an ad campaign in trade publications that launched in March. ''We're about two people coming together, staying together and living together.''

Women's Health will have to do well to match its masculine predecessor. Men's Health, launched in 1986, has been called one of the most successful rollouts in magazine history. It had an average paid circulation of almost 1.8 million at the end of last year, according to a statement filed by Rodale with the Audit Bureau of Circulation.

Women's Health, which publishes 10 times per year, has a circulation of about 600,000, according to Rodale. By comparison, the more established Self and Fitness each claimed circulation between 1.4 million and 1.5 million, according to the Audit Bureau of Circulations. Self is published by Conde Nast, while Fitness is a Meredith Corp. title.

Women's Health is aimed at readers who want to ''be in the know,'' publisher Smith said. That includes wanting to see the year's big movies — one reason why Rodale and its New York ad agency, Margeotes Fertitta Powell, developed their cinematic pitch.

by Colleen Palati

If you have ever had an anxiety attack or suspect that you may suffer from a general anxiety disorder, this information will be quite helpful to you. 30 million Americans have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorders, including panic disorders, phobias and post-traumatic stress disorders. Another 35 million people with anxiety suffer mild to moderate symptoms.

On average, 70% of all people with a general anxiety disorder will consult with more than 10 physicians before the cause of their symptoms is accurately diagnosed. A recent study at Harvard Medical School reported that patients who cope poorly with stress become ill four times more often than those with good coping skills.

If you are not sure if you suffer from a general anxiety disorder, the following is a list of the most frequent signs of anxiety. They are: trembling, rapid heartbeat, lump in throat, frozen smile, neckaches, indigestion, insomnia, overeating, preoccupation with illness, fear of embarrassment or rejection, and fear of being ugly or fat.

Have you ever experienced any of these? If so, don't worry. We all go through stress at some point in our lives. As long as you don't have these feelings on a daily or weekly basis, you are probably fine. If you do experience a good portion of these signs of anxiety, read through the list below for strategies to developing inner peace.

Movement- Physical activity helps to reduce stress and anxiety. Walking is especially good for anxiety. Try not to push yourself to the point where it's unpleasant…if you are straining or pushing yourself to hard, it will not be as beneficial in reducing anxiety.

Relax- Scientific studies have demonstrated that when viewing natural landscapes (sky, trees, greenery, water or flowers) people tend to feel more relaxed and less anxious. Remember, you deserve to enjoy your life and there is no reason to feel guilty about relaxing!

Eat right- It is important to eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Balancing the diet helps to balance the levels of neurotransmitters involved in keeping stress and depression in check.

Take charge- A major cause of anxiety is the feeling of a lack of control. Helplessness is a huge component in depression and anxiety. It is a good idea to ask yourself questions like, "Why am I doing this?" or "Do I have to do this?" or "Will the world end if I don't?" Most importantly, don't be afraid to say "no" if you don't feel comfortable doing something.

Take inventory on what causes you anxiety. Take the anxiety test I found in natural health magazine below.

0= no anxiety
1= mild anxiety
2= moderate anxiety
3= severe anxiety

____ confronting a loved one about a problem

____ making a major purchase or investment

____ making a mistake, failing

____ being seen naked or in a bathing suit

____ sexual preference

____ keeping things neat and orderly

____ heavy commuter traffic

____ deadlines, evaluations or tests

____ financial obligations, unpaid bills

____ feeling stared at

____ going to a public restroom

____ being criticized

____ talking to people in authority

____ the sight of blood

____ specializing at a party

____ giving or receiving a gift

____ making cold calls at work

____ being on time for appointments or events

____ packing for a trip

____ waiting in line

____ being in enclosed places

____ eating along in a restaurant

____ speaking to a group

____ taking a business call

____ the thought of death

____ being in a crowd

____ entering the elevator

____ going in an airplane

____ driving a car

____ going to a doctor or dentist

____ going to sleep or waking up

____ coming home to an empty house

____ rejection in love or at work

Add your score up. Which category do you fall in?

0-19: you have no to mild anxiety.

20-39: mild to moderate anxiety

40-59: moderate anxiety

60 and over: a possible anxiety disorder

If indeed you suspect that you suffer from a general anxiety disorder, please consult your physician. You can also try taking Kava or Siberian Ginseng supplements to help relax you. I also recommend reading "Psycho-Cybernetics" by Walter Maltz. This incredibly life-changing book discusses the power our mind has on our self-image and happiness.

Anxiety and stress are very real components in our lives. It is amazing how much they wear on our body, not to mention our mental health. If you do experience high levels of stress or general anxiety, get it under control as soon as possible. See your physician and begin to take inventory of your life. You are important, so take care of yourself!

Yours in healthy living,

Esoteric vibrational remedies are really hot right now, especally in Hollywood -- the next step beyond aromatherapy. I Natural Health magazine says that even Julia Roberts is spraying herself with a Petaltone product to "clear her aura." of ancient negative ties and resentments(Jason Patric and Kiefer Sutherland by any chance?) Even Julia Roberts knows that essences is one of the few ways she can protect herself from all of the transference, projection and other negative thought forms hurled at her etheric force field every day."

If you still think this is a lot of nonsense, it is -- only try spelling it non -scents. Vibrational remedies, contain the plant essence but not its smell. All you're bound to smell like is grain alcohol or organic brandy. The idea is that the plant essence itself, either ingested or applied to the body, acts within the subtle body of the aura to correct or balance negative thought forms and energy.

The idea was pioneered in the 1920s by Edward Bach, a trance channeller who went out in the wilderness and ate 38 different wild-flowers. He then noted which plant caused which miserable psychological state. True to the homeopathic principle of "like repels like", each flower than became a remedy for such complex states as "failing to learn from past experiences" and "for struggling on ceaselessly despite hardships and great odds, never giving up when overwhelmed."

Eighty years later, Bach's original idea has exploded to include lines of esoteric remedies made from everything from tropical plants, famous roses, shells, ice, moonbeams, plants and gemstones. Being somewhat of a spiritual thrill seeker, who is always looking for ways to alter her consciousness without getting a hangover, my hobby lately is surfing the internet and looking for the most exotic esoteric remedies that I can find...(I know, I should get a life!)

When I go shopping for essences, I look for something like Ancient Forest Flower Essences' Norwegian Fjord Waterfall -- a remedy made in the clear waters of a towering fjord waterfall -- and rumoured to fill one with empowerment. I want to "connect with my higher self" by sipping Healing Antartic Pack Ice which was made on Half Moon Island in the Antartic Penisinsula during an afternoon of rare sunshine. Why have a beer when you can have a glass of water with a couple of drops of Southern Ocean Seaspray in it --"made with Antartic waters during a stormy evening in the Great Southern Ocean at latitude 5905.8 which willl help me to "learn to let go" at the same time.

As I was cruising through sites on the internet devoted to this fascinating subject, it occured me that one could make a vibrational essence out of just about anything. It's not like you need a degree to conduct these special vibrations. Anybody can do it. In fact, I was thinking of creating my own line of vibrational essences for the esoteric connoisour. How about "Sexual Realization" -- an essence made in the back seat of a 1972 Ford Chrysler under a full moon on Halloween while chewing pink bubblegum and losing one's virginity at a Drive In. Or "Patience of A Saint" -- an essence I personally channelled while standing in line at the Toronto Dominion Bank under flourescent lights while having to pee while trying to cash a cheque during a heat-wave day in Toronto in 1986 or "Complete Fulfillment" -- an essence I made well dancing completely nude in the rain around a huge bonfire during a thunderstorm while being made love to by two men and women and eating lasagna at the same time during the last harmonic convergence?"

Years ago, I came up with the idea for an esoteric spray called "Babe Away" --- an aersol that would contain a concentration of energy that would repel unwanted attentions away. Sadly, once again, I was ahead of my time. Petaltone, a company out of Britain has made a product called Aura Blue, that does exactly that; it helps one with the process of "tie-cutting" obnoxious energies that may have hooked into your aura. Of course, what these companies are really selling is just water -- but it really holy water? Only the holes in my aura know for sure.

by Dr. Shashikant Patwardhan

Our diet is an essential factor for the formation of our body. It is clearly mentioned in an Ayurvedic classic 'Charak Samhita' that consuming improper diet in improper way is the main cause of 'Disease'.

According to 'Charak Samhita -"An appropriate and suitable diet in a disease is equivalent to hundred drugs and any quantity of drug hardly compares to good results in disease without following proper dietetic regimen"

Ayurvedic has mentioned following principles for living full span of life with perfect health.

Diet should be regulated taking into account the 'Desha'(territory), 'Kala' (Season as well as time of the day) etc. On should be in a habit of taking all six 'Rasa' (tastes) in order to prevent nutritional deficiency disorders.

Time of consuming food : A person should take meal only when he feels hungry. Lunch should be taken early between 12 and 1P.M. this coincides with the peak Pitta period, Pitta is responsible for the digestion. Ayurveda recommends that the lunch should be the largest meal of the day. The supper should be lesser and lighter than lunch

Quantity of food : Generally half of the capacity of stomach should be filled with solids, ¼ th with liquids and rest kept empty for the free movements of body humors.

Sequence of consuming food :Madhur (sweet) rasa food like fruits are advisable to take in the bigining of meal, food with Amla and Lavana (sour and salty) rasa in the middle and Katu,Tikta,Kashay (bitter ,astringent and pungent) foods should be taken at the end of meal

Method of consuming food :

* Wash the face hands and feet before meal. Dine in an isolated neat and clean place in pleasant environment with the affectionate persons in sitting position.

* Food should be taken after complete digestion of previous one.

* Hard items should be consumed in the beginning followed by soft and liquids subsequently.

* Few sips of water is advised now and then while taking meal.

* Heavy substances are contraindicated after meals and should be avoided

* Consumption of excessive hot food leads to weakness. Cold and dry food leads to delayed digestion. Intake of food prepared by giving extra

heat leads to 'Glani'. Hence consumption of such food should be avoided

Incompatible Food (Viruddha ahara):

Milk followed by fruits and vice versa.

Soar substance along with milk.

Milk with salt, horse gram, green gram & cow gram

Wheat preparations in gingelly oil(Tila taila)

Hot drinks after alcohol, curd or honey.

Cold and hot substances together

Banana with curd and butter milk

Chicken with curd

Ghee kept in bronze vessel

Radish with jaggery

Fish with jaggery or sugar

Jingelly seeds with kanjika.

Use of incompatible food leads to skin disorders, Gastro intestinal .Disorders , anaemia, leucoderma hyperacidity impotence etc. hence should be avoided.

General Rules about food consumption :

Walk a while after meal to help digestion

No travelling, exercise or sexual intercourse within one hour after meal.

Avoid meals when thirsty and water while hungry.

Avoid meals after exertion

Avoid meals when you are having no appetite.

Don't suppress the appetite as it leads to body pain, anorexia, lassitude, vertigo and general debility

Don't suppress the thirst as it leads to general debility, giddiness and heart diseases.

Consumption of the fresh, acceptable, easily available and compatible food with various nutrients is a key to lead a healthy life.

health magazine: Dealing With Stress and Anxiety the Natural Way

2006-06-08T00:48:00.000-07:00

by Colleen Palati

If you have ever had an anxiety attack or suspect that you may suffer from a general anxiety disorder, this information will be quite helpful to you. 30 million Americans have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorders, including panic disorders, phobias and post-traumatic stress disorders. Another 35 million people with anxiety suffer mild to moderate symptoms.

On average, 70% of all people with a general anxiety disorder will consult with more than 10 physicians before the cause of their symptoms is accurately diagnosed. A recent study at Harvard Medical School reported that patients who cope poorly with stress become ill four times more often than those with good coping skills.

If you are not sure if you suffer from a general anxiety disorder, the following is a list of the most frequent signs of anxiety. They are: trembling, rapid heartbeat, lump in throat, frozen smile, neckaches, indigestion, insomnia, overeating, preoccupation with illness, fear of embarrassment or rejection, and fear of being ugly or fat.

Have you ever experienced any of these? If so, don't worry. We all go through stress at some point in our lives. As long as you don't have these feelings on a daily or weekly basis, you are probably fine. If you do experience a good portion of these signs of anxiety, read through the list below for strategies to developing inner peace.

Movement- Physical activity helps to reduce stress and anxiety. Walking is especially good for anxiety. Try not to push yourself to the point where it's unpleasant…if you are straining or pushing yourself to hard, it will not be as beneficial in reducing anxiety.

Relax- Scientific studies have demonstrated that when viewing natural landscapes (sky, trees, greenery, water or flowers) people tend to feel more relaxed and less anxious. Remember, you deserve to enjoy your life and there is no reason to feel guilty about relaxing!

Eat right- It is important to eat a balanced diet rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Balancing the diet helps to balance the levels of neurotransmitters involved in keeping stress and depression in check.

Take charge- A major cause of anxiety is the feeling of a lack of control. Helplessness is a huge component in depression and anxiety. It is a good idea to ask yourself questions like, "Why am I doing this?" or "Do I have to do this?" or "Will the world end if I don't?" Most importantly, don't be afraid to say "no" if you don't feel comfortable doing something.

Take inventory on what causes you anxiety. Take the anxiety test I found in natural health magazine below.

0= no anxiety

1= mild anxiety

2= moderate anxiety

3= severe anxiety

____ confronting a loved one about a problem

____ making a major purchase or investment

____ making a mistake, failing

____ being seen naked or in a bathing suit

____ sexual preference

____ keeping things neat and orderly

____ heavy commuter traffic

____ deadlines, evaluations or tests

____ financial obligations, unpaid bills

____ feeling stared at

____ going to a public restroom

____ being criticized

____ talking to people in authority

____ the sight of blood

____ socializing at a party

____ giving or receiving a gift

____ making cold calls at work

____ being on time for appointments or events

____ packing for a trip

____ waiting in line

____ being in enclosed places

____ eating along in a restaurant

____ speaking to a group

____ taking a business call

____ the thought of death

____ being in a crowd

____ entering the elevator

____ going in an airplane

____ driving a car

____ going to a doctor or dentist

____ going to sleep or waking up

____ coming home to an empty house

____ rejection in love or at work

Add your score up. Which category do you fall in?

0-19: you have no to mild anxiety.

20-39: mild to moderate anxiety

40-59: moderate anxiety

60 and over: a possible anxiety disorder

If indeed you suspect that you suffer from a general anxiety disorder, please consult your physician. You can also try taking Kava or Siberian Ginseng supplements to help relax you. I also recommend reading "Psycho-Cybernetics" by Walter Maltz. This incredibly life-changing book discusses the power our mind has on our self-image and happiness.

Anxiety and stress are very real components in our lives. It is amazing how much they wear on our body, not to mention our mental health. If you do experience high levels of stress or general anxiety, get it under control as soon as possible. See your physician and begin to take inventory of your life. You are important, so take care of yourself!

Yours in healthy living,

health magazine: Concept of 'Agni' in Ayurveda

2006-06-08T00:43:00.000-07:00

by Dr.Shashikant Patwardhan

Being one of the panchamahabhoota, agni (fire) has the characteristic that it cannot exist without a base. In the body it exists in pitta dosha.

Agni is responsible for the following functions:

Digestion - indigestion (Pakti- Apakti)

Vision- absence of vision (Darshanam- Adarshanam)

Degree of heat (Matra- Amatratvamushmanala)

Normal -abnormal complexion (Prakrit - Vikarit varnam)

Prowess- fear (Shaurya- Bhaya)

Anger - exholoration (krodham- Harsham)

Confusion- clarity of mind (Moha- Prasadan)

For the metabolic processes in the body, there are three main groups of biological factors, probably exhibiting enzymatic functions (agnis).

Jatharagni or Koshthagni:

Present in the pachak pitta. It is responsible for the digestion and the absorption of nutritious substances during this process.

The process of digestion (ahar pachan) is divided in three stages, which collectively is called awastha paka and can be divided in the following.

Amavstha (Madhuravastha) Paka - in stomach

Pachymanavastha (Amlavstha) Paka - in 'grahani' (Duodenum)

Pakavstha (Katuavstha) Paka - in small and large intestine

As the rasa changes in different phase of digestion these phase of digestion are called avsthapaka. At the end of the digestion the digested food have their original rasa which is in accordance with the rasa of the ingested food. This is called as Nistha paka .It is also called popularly as Vipaka.

Madhur rasa & Lavan rasa have Madhura Vipaka, Amla rasa have amla vipaka and Katu, Tikta & Kashaya rasa have Katu vipaka.

Panchabhutagnis :

In ayurveda it is believed that everything is made up of five elements and so is the body. These five elements are the panchmahabhoota and are responsible for constituting every living being in the world. Agni transforms the Asharir Mahabhoota (external mahabhoot) to Sharir Mahabhoota. Example - When we drink water Jala Mahabhoota (water) dominates and later the water is transformed by Jala Mahabhoota agni to the Sharir Jala Containing five types of biological factors, it is responsible for the processing of the five basic elements into a composition useful to the body.

Dhatvagnis : The third group contains seven types, each for the assimilation of the seven tissues This assimilation takes place successively. From the absorbed nutritious substance, plasma (rasa) is produced first; from plasma, blood (rakta) is formed, then muscular tissue (mamsa), adipose tissue (meda), bony tissue (asthi), bone marrow (majjan) and the reproductive cells (shukra).

Besides performing all the metabolic functions agni takes care of digestion (ahar pachan) and in the absence of ahar it acts on the ama pachan i.e. properly metabolize the improper metabolites. When ahar and ama are absence Agni does the function of dhatu i.e. rasa, rakta etc. Digestion of dhatu is a fatal condition in which dhatus are broken down to get energy. The reduction or deficiency of the quantum of dhatu in the human body leads to the disease called 'Kshaya roga'.

In ayurveda it is believed that all the pathology occurs due to the impairment in Agni (Kaya). Hence the correction of Kaya i.e. Agni is called the treatment or 'Kaya Chikitsa' in ayurveda

Agnis are also classified into four categories according to how they manifest in the human being:

Tikshnagni -sharp,

Mandagni - mild,

Vishamagni - irregular, and

Samagni - regular or Balanced.

health magazine: Can Pizza Actually Be Healthy For You?

This article may come as a surprise to you, especially if you follow a healthy and nutritious diet...

It's about pizza, the weakness of many people including me. I love pizza- always have. I make sure I eat it in moderation, but it's still one of my favorite foods.

Now there's good news for pizza lovers.

According to Men's Health magazine, research concludes that pizza can be good for you. It's important to point out, however, that we're talking about real pizza- not the kind you get from Pizza Hut, Dominoes or the frozen food section of your supermarket. By real, I mean pizza made with real crust, real tomato sauce and pure olive oil.

According to Men's Health, scientists writing in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that eating pizza can reduce your risk of a heart attack. In a 4-year study of nearly 1,000 Italians, those who ate pizza at least once a week were 30 percent less likely to experience a heart attack than the folks who didn't partake of the pie.

This is contributed to pizza's cardio protective ingredients, including olive oil and tomato sauce. And here's a way to make the pizza even healthier: top it with vegetables, part-skim cheese and use whole wheat crust. You'll then have a meal that is actually good for you.

Can you get this kind of a pizza in a pizzeria? You might be able to find some that offer whole wheat crust, but I doubt you'll find any that offer part-skim cheese. What you can do is buy the ingredients at your local grocery store and make the pizza yourself. Speaking from experience, this can be a fun thing!

Enjoy the experience of making your own pizza and savoring a nutritious meal. After all, feeding your body with nutritious meals is the number one thing you can do for better health.

health magazine: 7 Formulas for Writing Articles That Get Read!

2006-06-06T06:02:00.000-07:00

Many of us have been asked to write an article at one time or another. Maybe it's a contribution to the company newsletter. Or a promotional article to gain publicity for ourselves or our companies. Some of us write articles regularly for clients.

by Bob McElwain

Many of us have been asked to write an article at one time or another. Maybe it's a contribution to the company newsletter. Or a promotional article to gain publicity for ourselves or our companies. Some of us write articles regularly for clients.

No matter why you're writing an article, it's your responsibility to make it be interesting - otherwise no one will read it. (Except you.)

So how can you make your article interesting and engage your reader? It's all about the ANGLE. First pick your topic. For example, let's say your topic is something boring ... "car wax." Now, here's where many people start writing.

Stop! You need an angle! What aspect of car wax do you want to write about? Is there anything new or sexy in the world of car wax that people are interested in? Some ideas: how the new generation of car waxes helps protect your paint job for twice as long, OR, an overview of the best five brands of car wax on the market, OR what the best type of wax is for your particular car. Get it? These are all angles. (By the way, I've never even waxed my car, so please take these ideas with a grain of salt! ; ))

Ready to brainstorm your angles? Here are seven article "formulas" to get you started. Some elements of each may overlap with each other, but each formula is truly a distinct animal.

1. The How-To
People love how-to articles! They lead the reader step-by-step through how to reach an objective. They also sometimes offer resources the reader can contact for more information.

What expertise do *you* have to share? Turn that subject into an interesting how-to for readers. Examples: "How to Make Your Employees Stick Around Forever," "How to Find the Best Dress for Your Figure," and "How to Promote Your Business for Free."

2. The List
This is one of the most basic formulas and the easiest to write. Give a short one or two paragraph intro, then launch right into your list. Keep each item to a few sentences max. People love numbers, so number your list and give your total number in the title! Examples: "31 Ways to Organize Your Office," "15 Tips for Pain-Free Feet," "Five Reasons Management Won't Be the Same in 2001"

3. The "Straw Man"
Here you set up a premise and knock it down, showing the benefits of your alternative view or approach. This is ideal to use when you're discussing the drawbacks of a new practice or method that's controversial right now. Here's a great example we often see on the covers of health magazines: "Are High Protein Diets the Key to Fast Weight Loss?" You get all excited, thinking you've discovered an amazing dieting revelation. But the article reveals, point by point, that high protein diets are unsafe for the long term, and that of course the only reliable way to lose weight is through diet and exercise. Oh well! Back to the treadmill....

4. The Mini Case Study
Raise a provocative question and then answer it with three or four real-life examples. Example: For an article titled, "Should You Quit Your Job and Go Freelance?" you could begin with a few stats on how today's workforce is leaving the corporate world in search of solo bliss. Then you could feature a few real cases, each with different outcomes to show all sides of the issue.

5. The Interview
Choose a credible expert to interview for your article. For example, if your topic is the latest trends in banking, you could interview a top banking industry analyst. Present it in either a traditional article format or do a Q&A format.

6. The Trend
Trends aren't just for fashion! Whenever a trend sweeps a certain profession, you'll suddenly see dozens of articles covering the topic. From the latest hairstyle to the latest tax shelter, people want to know all about these trends - their origins, benefits, and drawbacks.

7. The Study Finding
These articles report the results of a study or survey. If you do a bit of research, you can probably dig up a recent study on which you can base your article. Examples: "Blue Chip Companies Cutting Marketing Budgets Across the Board," "Armadillos Now Deemed America's Favorite Pet," and "More 20 Somethings Finding Love Online."

Hope these ideas got your juices flowing! Let us know if you need any help developing angles for *your* articles.

health magazine: USA Weekend offers hipper news, focus on community

2006-05-30T02:01:00.000-07:00

Next Sunday you'll find a different Sunday magazine in your Herald-Republic.
We're adding USA Weekend after decades of offering Parade. And we hope you'll take the time to read the new magazine and let us know what you think.

This has been a tough decision, simply because of our history with Parade, which is included in more than 370 newspapers nationwide. But USA Weekend, which is a part of 600 newspapers across the country, made us an offer we just couldn't refuse.

The first part of that offer was content: the articles, columns, photos and contests that make up the magazine every week. Next week's edition, for example, is a special partnership with Men's Health magazine to look at men's widening waistlines and why they should be concerned.

There's also a feature on six great roller-coaster rides and tips on being a gracious guest.

And yes, there's celebrity news (even for those of us who don't admit to reading it).

Then, on Sunday, June 25, you'll find an extra special USA Weekend in your newspaper. That one will include an 11-by-19-inch poster of the new Superman, Brandon Routh.

Many readers find USA Weekend a little fresher, a little hipper, a little more fun to read. I do, and hope you do, too.

The second part of its appealing offer was USA Weekend's commitment to Newspaper in Education programs.

NIE is the name for programs that put daily newspapers in classrooms. At the Herald-Republic, that amounts to about 40,000 copies of the newspaper a month distributed to more than 220 schools throughout the Yakima Valley.

In addition to financing to help pay for those papers, USA Weekend also will provide weekly teaching guides and other materials that can be downloaded free of charge from its Web site.

(Teachers who are interested in learning more about NIE should contact Robin Beckett at 577-7731 or rbeckett@yakima
herald.com.)

Our third reason for adding USA Weekend was its Make A Difference Day program, which on Oct. 28 this year is celebrating its 16th anniversary.

Make A Difference Day was designed as a celebration of neighbors helping neighbors and is now the largest national day of helping others, with hundreds of registered projects across the country. Most are in communities served by USA Weekend, but that's not a requirement.

For the 2005 Make A Difference Day, for example, there were 22 communities throughout Washington state that registered on the national Web site (www.makea
differenceday.com).

Their projects included a community garden cleanup in Tonasket, fundraising efforts to buy pet food for the Everett Animal Shelter, a blood drive in Silverdale and 4-H'ers sewing book bags in Walla Walla.

In April, 10 projects are selected from those registered to win $10,000 each from actor and philanthropist Paul Newman, who donates all
after-tax profits from sales of Newman's Own products to educational and charitable purposes.

Those 10 honorees, plus hundreds of other local projects, are then featured in an April edition of the Sunday magazine.

There has been a Make A Difference Day event in Yakima — a dinner at the Southeast Yakima Community Center to honor local volunteers — but it has not been affiliated with the national event.

We'd hope that can change, and we hope other local organizations and individuals will also join in.

A final reason we made the change was fin-ancial. USA Weekend simply was a better deal, and that's important as we — like every business — looks at keeping costs
in line.

But without the other three reasons, the fourth wouldn't have mattered.

So I hope you enjoy our new Sunday magazine. It's a good change for us, for you and, we believe, for our community.

health magazine: TRU NONI is proud to name Jeremy Shores its Director of Affiliate Relations

2006-05-30T01:58:00.000-07:00

Jeremy Shore is introduced as TRU NONI's new Director of Affiliate Relations to bring the soon to be $1 trillion dollar wellness industry to the common man accross America.

Redwood Shores, CA (PRWEB) May 30, 2006 -- TRU NONI™, the direct source for 100% pure fresh pressed Noni juice from Hawaii today named Jeremy Shore its Director of Affiliate Relations.

Jeremy’s interest in health and fitness began at the early age of 14 when he discovered his father’s weight set in the basement of his house. In college he played soccer for the nationally ranked Queens University team in Charlotte, NC while pursuing a degree in business administration and marketing.

Jeremy has had a very successful career as a personal trainer in New York City, Dallas, and Los Angeles. He is also an internationally recognized fitness model. He has modeled around the world and been featured in numerous fitness publications including Men’s Fitness and Outside magazine, and has appeared on the cover of Men’s Health magazine both in United States and Germany.

“TRU NONI is fortunate to have joining us a man of faith and integrity that is found in Jeremy who brings years of dedication in the health and fitness industry working with people to achieve life changing goals, said Michael Fox, TRU NONI, CEO. The Noni industry is full of companies that will say and do just about anything to sell their Noni products, sometimes even stepping over the line of the law, says Fox.

One of the most recent examples was caught on tape by a hidden camera in southern California by a local CBS TV news team that went under cover to a TAHITIAN NONI INTERNATIONAL™ multi-level distributor meeting held at the company’s regional office in Costa Mesa, California. In front of a large room filled with distributors, a motivational type speaker referred to the sacred Noni fruit as “…to me it tastes kinda just like money.” In another example in the same news broadcast, the CBS undercover producer posing as a lupus patent invited two TAHITIAN NONI distributors to a house in Orange County, California and asked, “should we consult our doctor?” and the TAHITIAN NONI distributor answered, “No…No. Just do it. No. No.”

Both of these examples clearly cross the line of the standards of “Zero Tolerance” TRU NONI has set up for our Super Affiliates who represent our Noni juice product. The integrity that Jeremy brings in his personal and business life along with his strong leadership skills will help maintain TRU NONI’s strong standards to follow what the U.S. congress wrote into law in the form of the “Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994”, making him the perfect fit for our fast growing company, said Fox.

Behind every man of great success is a strong supportive wife, and for Jeremy her name is Holly. She is part Hawaiian and grew up during the summer months on the beach of Kailua, Oahu. Jeremy met Holly while the two were on a modeling assignment in Los Angeles in 2002. Holly is a certified Holistic Health Counselor, helping her clients find the foods and lifestyle choices that work best for the life they desire. “ Holly introduced me to the "wholistic" approach to nutrition that is a vital component to true health,” said Shore. “Noni juice is a great addition to enhancing life from the inside-out.” Jeremy and his wife volunteer their time with various homeless ministries and environmental organizations throughout their community.

“I feel like we are getting a two for one deal as Jeremy encouraged by Holly joins our TRU NONI family of Hawaiian farmers and the other affiliates to bring this sacred fruit juice from the Creator called Noni to the people of our great Nation”, said Fox.

As government plans for a possible global flu pandemic, it's ducking one of the hardest questions: Who gets vaccinated first?

The federal plan, released in November and updated earlier this month, painted a worst-case scenario of 2 million deaths, 90 million sick and 10 million hospitalized if a new flu virus emerges and begins spreading human-to-human.

The plan depends on vaccination as the ultimate solution. But it is also honest in acknowledging the likelihood of a four- to six-month lag between when the exact virus is identified and when vaccines can be manufactured and distributed.

It notes that only a few factories produce flu vaccine worldwide. Manufacturing capacity is weak.

Within the first year of a pandemic, chances are that only 10 percent of the U.S. population would be vaccinated. America needs frank talk about who should receive those early shots. Nearly everyone ranks frontline health-care workers, emergency responders and vaccine manufacturers first. After that, sorting becomes complicated.

Bioethicists Ezekiel Emanuel and Alan Wertheimer debate ethical principles in a provocative May 12 Science magazine article that should spur national discussion, not just on pandemic priorities but also on America's general approach to rationing health care.

Should America focus on saving the most lives? Or on "those instrumental in making society function"? Or those with the prospect of the "most quality years"? Or those most likely to recover?

Emanuel and Wertheimer favor "life-cycle" pandemic flu vaccination allocation based on the idea that each person be given the opportunity to experience all stages of life.

"Death seems more tragic when a child or young adult dies than an elderly person - not because the lives of older people are less valuable, but because the younger person has not had the opportunity to live and develop through all stages of life," they write.

Emanuel and Wertheimer would give people between 13 and 40 years old priority, in part, because of that age group's ability to ensure safety and provide necessities, such as food and fuel, during a pandemic. They reason that young children and the elderly can be more easily quarantined at home.

Other experts disagree. Paul Offit, director of Children's Hospital's vaccine education center, thinks young children are a "reservoir" for flu epidemics, and vaccination should start there.

Indeed, recognition of children's role in spreading seasonal flu led the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in February to recommend annual flu vaccination for all children 6 months to 5 years old, and their caregivers. Previously, vaccination was recommended only for toddlers and children with medical conditions, such as asthma or kidney disease.

Also, emotionally, few parents would be able to vaccinate themselves ahead of their children, even if that did make the most sense.

Ultimately, the country will need one set of priorities, designed federally, implemented locally. The discussion needs to happen now, long before a crisis arrives.

Locals line up to meet Playboy’s ‘Miss June’ – a ’99 Carroll graduate

A column by Kevin Leininger

kleininger@news-sentinel

“I’m just trying to build a relationship with her first,” 20-year-old Zach Jarrett said as he stood in Riegel’s Pipe & Tobacco Shop, studying every detail of Playboy Magazine’s centerfold.

Less than an hour later, 25-year-old Stephanie Larimore was there – in the flesh, so to speak – fulfilling fantasies and talking about what it’s like to be Fort Wayne’s first Playmate.

She likes it.

I would prefer to end this column right there because, frankly, it’s possible to get tired of anything – even writing (or reading) about our fascination with sex. Recently, I’ve done columns about the Men’s Health Magazine survey listing Fort Wayne as one of America’s “limpest” cities and the opening of Priscilla’s, an adult toy store. I’ve also written about Fort Wayne’s biggest, newest strip joint.

Three times.

“No more women in G-strings!” I pleaded with my editor this week. I have a reputation as a judgmental, repressed Christian right-winger to protect. Not only that, people at church are starting to talk.

But my boss prevailed – maybe because Larimore wasn’t wearing a G-string in her photos, or much of anything else.

But Miss June, a 1999 Carroll High School graduate now living in the Indianapolis suburb of Fishers, is thrilled with her exposure. And so were the scores of admirers who crowded into Riegel’s, 624 S. Calhoun St., between noon and 2 p.m. Wednesday.

“This has been my goal for a long time,” said Larimore, dressed in blue jeans and a white T-shirt emblazoned with Playboy’s famous “bunny” logo. “I checked out my first Playboy when I was 10 years old and found a copy under my dad’s bed. They have the most beautiful women.”

The long line of admirers waiting for a picture, autograph or conversation clearly agreed.

Tim Wilhelm wore a Carroll T-shirt, but the two Chargers had never met before. “She graduated when I was in the seventh grade,” said Wilhelm, 19. “But it’s pretty cool Miss June is from Fort Wayne.”

Michael Brust, 46, came wearing a string of Mardi Gras-style beads around his neck – the kind often traded for a flash of skin. Having read in Larimore’s “Playmate Data Sheet” of her love for the Indianapolis Colts, he donated his silver and blue beads – Colt team colors – but got only an autograph in return.

Like the photos themselves, a Playmate’s comments are carefully composed to avoid revealing too much. Larimore, who previously appeared in the online version of Playboy and in several special editions after submitting photographs to the magazine, said she still has relatives in Fort Wayne, but would not name them. “My family and friends are very supportive of what I’m doing,” she said.

And Lee Waedekin, Playboy’s newsstand operations director, wouldn’t discuss how much Larimore was paid for her appearance at Riegel’s or for her reign as Miss June. Various reports, however, put a centerfold’s salary at about $25,000.

Larimore, whose magazine profile lists her as a 105-pound, 5-foot, 4-inch former go-go dancer, currently does some modeling but would like to become an actress. Judging by her performance Wednesday, she knows how to please a crowd – a young, male crowd, at least.

Riegel’s, which normally receives 80 copies of Playboy each month, quickly sold out once word spread of Miss June’s local connection. Another 400 were ordered for Larimore’s appearance – most of them autographed on the centerfold . At least half of those sold, for $6 each.

According to her data sheet, one of the things that turns Larimore off most is smoking – although she does like cigars. So why was the city’s premier tobacco shop chosen to host the city’s latest celebrity?

“We did this with some hesitation,” said Frank Bougher, assistant manager. “They offered this event to us because we’re one of their oldest distributors and are an over-18 store, but we got rid of most of our adult magazines years ago because they were getting raunchy. But Playboy has stayed true to its origins.” That origin, as founder Hugh Heffner has said, is to present tastefully revealing photographs of “the girl next door.” In Fort Wayne, for the first time ever, that could literally be true.

“But I wouldn’t want any of my four daughters to do this,” Bougher said.

health magazine: Health magazine bills create ill will

2006-05-19T02:06:00.000-07:00

By ANGELA CURRY

AT YOUR SERVICE: In the spring of 2003, our school ordered Current Health magazine with money from a Community of Caring grant. The magazines were delivered in my name. We did not renew this subscription. This fall we started receiving Current Health 1 and 2 . I had not received a bill until Jan. 10. It indicates the account is more than four months past due. I do not have authority to make purchases for the school and think I have no obligation to pay this bill just because it is in my name. The company is threatening my personal credit.

I called Weekly Reader ’s customer service department Jan. 30. I was told an order was placed online in my name Aug. 4, 2005. I had not been on their Web site until Jan. 30. I would appreciate your help in clearing this up. — M.E., Excelsior Springs

Dear M.E.: Shortly after we contacted Weekly Reader, you told us that someone with the magazine had called you and insisted that you placed the order and could not understand that teachers do not usually spend more than $700 out of their pocket for school books. The representative said she would mail you a copy of the Web site order, but you said you hadn’t received it but did get another bill for $589.20.

We contacted the parent company, WRC Media Inc. The company said an order for you and eight additional subscriptions, each from different health teachers at different schools, had been entered. These subscriptions were submitted on Aug. 2, 2005, with a confirming e-mail address for the person who did the paperwork on your original order. The company said it later received separate requests to cancel some of the subscriptions, along with your request in January.

The company said that during the time between receiving the Web order and cancellation in January, five issues of Current Health were sent to you. The magazines were not returned, and the company concluded that you kept them. The company has credited the remaining balance and assured you that your personal credit was not threatened.

Send your request for help to At Your Service, The Kansas City Star, 1729 Grand Blvd., Kansas City, Mo. 64108, or send e-mail to acurry@kcstar.com. 4/18

I’d wanted to see Africa as long as I could remember. When my friend Mark called and said he was putting together a trip, I knew it was time to go. With more detail, Mark explained that we’d be climbing Kilimanjaro, Africa’s tallest mountain, for the first week, and then going on a photo safari. I hesitated.
Nine months prior, I’d been diagnosed with multiple sclerosis. Because of that diagnosis, I’d become even more determined to do and see all that I could while I had two strong legs to carry me. But, tackling Kili had never been on my list.

I’d never been a peak-bagger. Meaning, I didn’t care how tall a mountain was or if I reached its summit. I preferred isolated trails with expansive views to those with serious trekkers marching like ants toward the top to cross it off their lists.

But, having MS changed my mindset a little. How far could I go? Was I ready to start turning away athletic challenges without trying? I had an excuse. Would I use it?

I signed up. I paid my money - large sums of money that ensured I wouldn’t back out. Once committed, I began to train. I hiked the 14,000 foot peaks in Colorado, ran, and walked everywhere. Kilimanjaro became a goal where only a vague one had been before. Before deciding to go on the trip, my goal was just to stay healthy and active. I’d done bare minimum to that end. But with Sept. 8 looming and nine other people counting on me, I stepped up my efforts and became an athlete again. Yes, I had MS. But, I’d decided to do this, and didn’t want to be the weak link on our team.

Go online to www.active.com or to www.komen.org. Pick an event at least two weeks or more away, and sign up today. Make a goal for that event. Perhaps it’s just to finish or to complete the event within a specific time limit.

Scaring yourself a little with a commitment to participate in an athletic event for which you are currently unprepared is terrific motivation. You’ll unleash the athlete inside of you.

health magazine: FYI: Nothing to sneeze at

2006-05-18T01:17:00.000-07:00

Sneezing and wheezing but prescription and over-the-counter meds leave you groggy? The folks at Women's Health magazine have alternatives.

• Sublingual immunotherapy. The therapy involves prescription-only drops that include extracts of the plants you're most allergic to. The drawback is that you have to take them daily for up to five years.

• Stinging nettle. The plant contains a histamine that may help your body acquire a tolerance to the things that make you sneeze. The stinging nettle capsules are available over-the-counter, and you'll need to take two every four hours during allergy season.

• Local honey. Since honey contains pollen, eating it may help your body build up a tolerance. Honey straight from the hive also contains enzymes known to reduce inflammation and that have antibiotic properties. Use the honey to sweeten your tea or chew on some honeycomb.

• Acupuncture. Some experts believe acupuncture strengthens the immune system. Try one or two sessions a week during the allergy season.

EYE OF THE BEHOLDER

A study by UC San Francisco revealed that part of the problem in fighting childhood obesity is perception: Some moms fail to recognize that their children have a weight problem.

Latina mothers of preschool-aged children frequently have inaccurate perceptions of their children's body mass index, and believe they are healthy when they are overweight, UC San Francisco researchers said.

The study findings were presented at the Pediatric Academic Society's annual meeting recently in San Francisco. Researchers said the problem is not restricted to the Latino population. It is important for pediatricians to talk with parents and children about weight concerns.

GOOD FOOD, GOOD ABS

If you're doing dozens of crunches every day and still not getting flat abs, you may want to change your diet. According to Fitness magazine, a number of foods make take you where exercise can't. Here are five choices:

• Almonds. Packed with protein, fiber and vitamin E; 23 almonds a day is your goal.

• Soy. Rich in antioxidants, fiber and protein; snack on edamame and add some tofu to a smoothie.

• Apples. Large apples are nearly 85 percent water and contain fiber and cancer-fighting compounds; have one or two a day.

• Berries. Packed with fiber, berries can actually help reduce the amount of calories you absorb; eat a half-cup daily of raspberries, blueberries or strawberries.

• Vegetable soup. Studies show that people who ate broth-based soup twice a day were more successful at losing weight than those who consumed the same amount of calories in snack food.

health magazine: Lies Women Tell About Their Weight--Anti-Obesity Advocate MeMe Roth Lists Top 3

2006-05-18T01:13:00.000-07:00

1-Pregnancy Made Me Fat. 2- Genetics Made Me Fat. 3- Middle-Age Spread Made Me Fat.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 11, 2006-- As women across the U.S. celebrate Mother's Day, anti-obesity advocate, MeMe Roth, draws attention to obesity's continued threat to women and their families. Today, MeMe Roth announces the Top Three Lies mothers tell about their weight:

1- "Pregnancy Made Me Fat."

While the effects of a healthy pregnancy may include bulging veins, stretch marks and a host of other physical mementos, it does not leave a woman obese. Yale-New Haven Hospital and other medical professionals advise that a healthy pregnancy, on average, leaves behind five to ten pounds of additional fat. Unfortunately more than half the women of childbearing age in the U.S. are overweight or obese, leading to an increased risk of birth defects as well as pregnancy and delivery complications. If a woman is abusing her body with excessive or poor-quality food and lack of exercise, her child is likely to suffer the consequences of health risks and obesity. Ideally, women should demonstrate a healthy lifestyle well in advance of conceiving, which includes wholesome foods and ample exercise. Additionally, an overweight or obese woman should gain far less weight during pregnancy than a healthy-weight mother-to-be. The most important factor is following guidelines prescribed by an attending OB/GYN.

Anti-obesity advocate, MeMe Roth said, "We should no more glorify getting fat as a rite of passage to 'Momdom' than any other self-respecting institution. Women must stop scapegoating their pregnancies as sources of obesity."

2- "Genetics Made Me Fat."

Fact: genetics plays a role in the propensity for obesity. However, "propensity" is not an immutable sentence; it's a gift of advance warning. Having the knowledge that one comes from a legacy of obesity is ample reason to avoid the "obesity axis-of-evil," which comprises junk food, soda and sitting around.

Roth said, "It's true there is what I call 'Second-Hand Obesity.' If your parents are obese, studies show you're 15 times more likely to be obese--so work 15 times harder to clear a healthy life path."

3- "Middle-Age Spread Made Me Fat."

Time is no friend to metabolism. Each year--life's cruel joke--metabolism takes another dive. Combine the natural decline of metabolism with the hormonal cocktail of menopause and the result for most women is extra fat, especially around the middle. Nutritionists and personal trainers alike advise a decrease in calories and increase in exercise. Particularly effective is weight-training, which increases muscle mass--which in-turn--increases metabolism. Studies project that in the course of a woman's life, 70% will become overweight or obese. Post-menopausal weight gain is riskier due to its link to breast cancer and other health complications.

"There's a popular country song that sings '...live like you were dyin'...' If you're a woman facing 'middle age spread' and you have not been given a terminal diagnosis, it's more important than ever to live like you are living. That means facing up to a slowing metabolism and eliminating the food choices and sedentary lapses contributing to extra weight gain," Roth advises.

"One in every three women is obese. Two in every three women is overweight or obese. Women make more than 90% of food-buying decisions in the U.S. Studies show that only a modest weight gain of 10-20 pounds after age 18 materially compromises a woman's health. If there is to be a resistance to the obesity epidemic, it will come from mothers. So on Mother's Day, let's stop telling lies about our weight. Why are these lies so dangerous? Blaming pregnancy, genetics and middle-age spread for obesity only ushers in a new generation of obesity. Lying to our families is one thing, but it's far more damaging for a woman to lie to herself," Roth concluded.

About MeMe Roth
MeMe Roth is host and organizer of the Wedding Gown Challenge, where women enter into marriage at a healthy weight and maintain it for a lifetime. As an anti-obesity advocate, Ms. Roth's efforts to eliminate junk food from schools and to celebrate women committed to remaining fit have been featured on FOXNews' The O'Reilly Factor w/ Bill O'Reilly, Your World with Neil Cavuto, CBS's The Early Show, The New York Times, New York Magazine, The New York Post, Playboy Magazine, The New Jersey Star-Ledger, TimeOut New York, Big Apple Parent, WABCRadio, 106.7 LiteFM, Q104.3, Parents Magazine, Vicinity Magazine, Suburban Essex Magazine, School Administrator, American School Board Journal, The Winnipeg Sun, UPN Channel 9 News, News Target, Baristanet.com, The Item, WCRN Boston, BigFatBlog, Nippon TV, The Associated Press and Health Magazine.

health magazine: Rodale award-winner pats editor on back(side)

2006-05-18T01:01:00.000-07:00

By Sam Kennedy
Of The Morning Call

Who has the best rear end at Rodale?

An answer to that question was put forth in dramatic fashion Tuesday night at a black-tie, Oscar-esque awards ceremony in New York.

Lehigh Valley Local Links
There, Backpacker, published by Rodale of Emmaus, won one of the magazine industry's top editorial honors, a National Magazine Award, or an ''Ellie,'' from the the American Society of Magazine Editors.

Upon hearing the announcement, Backpacker Editor in Chief Jonathan Dorn sprang onto the stage and embraced the host, ASME President and Newsweek Editor Mark Whitaker, in a spoof of the infamous Adrian Brody-Halle Berry kiss at the 2003 Academy Awards.

Dorn then proclaimed that fellow Rodale employee David Zinczenko, editor of Men's Health magazine, has ''probably got the best ass'' at the company.

That, anyway, is how Advertising Age quoted Dorn on its Web site Wednesday morning.

The quote on another media industry Web site was just a little different — more definitive in its pronouncement. Gawker.com had Dorn saying that Zinczenko ''has the best ass at Rodale.''

Either way, the sentiment was clear.

(Zinczenko was named one of People magazine's top 50 bachelors in 2002. He is also the author of the bestselling book ''The Abs Diet,'' which instructs readers to eat 12 foods, including almonds and protein powder.)

Dorn's speech didn't stop there.

''I'm going to be working at Details by the time this night is done,'' he told the audience, according to Industry Age.

''This was actually my speech from general excellence,'' he added, alluding to Backpacker's loss to New York Magazine in that category.

The Ellie that Backpacker won honored its front-of-the-book department called ''Basecamp,'' which includes a mix of first-person travel narrative and practical outdoors advice.

''This is a great moment for Jonathan Dorn and the Backpacker team, as well as for Rodale,'' Rodale Chief Executive Steve Murphy said in a news release.

Efforts to contact Dorn were unsuccessful. A Rodale spokeswoman said Wednesday he was not available for comment.

The Ellies are the magazine industry's highest editorial honors. Although only Backpacker won an award, four other Rodale publications were finalists.

Backpacker, Men's Health, Prevention, Runner's World and Bicycling received a total of eight nominations in various categories. (In addition to Backpacker's two, Men's Health received three nominations.)

The big winner Tuesday night was newsweekly Time, which took the general excellence Ellie in the highest-circulation category, plus the single-topic award for its ''An American Tragedy'' issue, which came out the week after Hurricane Katrina.

health magazine: The pumped-up price of water

2006-05-17T00:47:00.000-07:00

If you think you're getting gouged at the gas pump, wait until you reach into your refrigerator for a bottle of water.

That 9-ounce bottle of Evian spring water at $1.49? That'll cost you about $21 a gallon, thank you very much. That 16-ounce Dasani or Aquafina _ filtered tap water brought to you by Coke or Pepsi, respectively _ that will be $1.50 at your nearest vending machine.

Of course, lots of things cost more than gasoline these days. Diet Snapple goes for $10.32 per gallon. Heck, Pepto-Bismol is $123.20 a gallon.

But we consume much more water on a daily basis than that pink stuff _ at least, let's hope so.

Part of the reason stems from the still common _ but mistaken _ belief that we need to drink eight to 10 glasses of water a day to be properly hydrated. People embraced this "first commandment of good health" with a vengeance, and it was rare that you'd pass someone on the street who wasn't carrying a bottle of water.

But nutrition specialists, investigating the source of this daily prescription about five years ago, found it had no basis in medical fact. The dictum more likely came from the bottled water industry. Most of us are well-hydrated, thank you, through the water we get through meals and other beverages.

No matter. Individual bottled water sales have risen about 30 percent during the past five years.

For those consumers who have chosen the cheaper route to good-tasting water via in-home water filters, get ready for some sticker shock.

Drinking water from a carafe with a carbon filter is cheaper than buying bottled water, to be sure. It costs about $75 a year for a typical household drinking 240 gallons of water annually, compared to about $214 annually for the cheapest jugs of supermarket drinking water. Nonetheless, the cost of a single Brita replacement carbon filter has risen $2 over the past 18 months, from $6.99 to $8.99, said a company spokesman.

The reason? Flash back to that gas station. Believe it or not, higher oil prices are to blame.

"There's a lot of resin in the plastics we use to sheath the carbon filter," said Marc Umscheid, brand manager for Brita, which is owned by The Clorox Corp. "Almost all plastics are resin-based, which in turn is oil-based. That's the hidden truth about oil prices, which affect a lot more than gas. They affect everyday pricing from toothpaste to lipstick."

Brita's main competitor, Pur, which is owned by Procter & Gamble, hasn't raised prices on its filters during that time period, said Suzette Middleton, a company spokeswoman. They do cost more, at $10.99. However, the company claims it also filters out more contaminants _ 99.95 percent of parasitic cysts such as cryptosporidium and giardia.

Today, consumers don't think twice before purchasing bottled water, from the upscale designer brands like Evian or Perrier, which can set you back thousands of dollars a year, or even slightly less glitzy brands, from Poland Springs. Even the plain old jugs of filtered drinking water from the supermarket at 89 cents a gallon will cost about $214 annually, according to a recent edition of Consumer Reports.

So why do we do this?

"Because we are idiots," said Robert Wolke, professor emeritus of chemistry at the University of Pittsburgh and author of the two-volume "What Einstein Told His Cook."

He was only half joking.

Concerns about tap water are legitimate _ about 7 million Americans get sick from contaminated drinking water annually, according to Health magazine.

The expensive European mineral waters might carry cachet, but "we get calcium and magnesium in the vegetables we eat," Wolke added.

Still, "Americans are very suspicious of impurities and poisons and dangerous stuff. We're a paranoid society, and the bottled water companies are making the most of a good thing."

So what's a confirmed anti-tap water drinker to do?

A cost-effective way to good-tasting filtered water may be to switch from bottles or carafes in the refrigerator to faucet mounted filters, which can be screwed onto existing faucets at a cost ranging from $40 to $80 and which are designed to last for about a year, according to the March issue of Consumer Reports. Faucets with built-in filters are available, but they are more expensive overall than buying inexpensive bottled water.

Pur was the first out of the gate with faucet mounts ranging from $19.99 to $39.99, depending on the level of filtration desired, but Brita recently came out with its own model, retailing at $39.99. Both claim more efficient filtration using water pressure instead of gravity.

"It would take you hours to filter a pitcher of water using the carbon filter" in a Brita carafe, said Umscheid.

But neither company is giving up on filter carafes yet _ they're popular with consumers both here and abroad.

In fact, Wolke remembers a friend from Spain pleading with him to bring some Brita filters over on his next trip abroad.

"They've always been much more expensive in Spain than they are in the U.S.," he said.

Kind of like gasoline.

health magazine: DETOUR® Whey Protein Energy Bar Rated 'Best Protein Bar' in Men’s Health Magazine

2006-05-17T00:45:00.000-07:00

World’s Largest Men’s Magazine Awards ‘Best Protein Bar’ to a Growing List of Accolades for DETOUR

Carlsbad, Calif., May 12, 2006 – NEXT Proteins, the leading producer of a full-line of whey protein products under the DESIGNER WHEY™ brand, has just learned DETOUR Whey Protein Energy Bars received the “Best Protein Bar” award from Men’s Health magazine…the second year running.

The 85 gram Caramel Peanut DETOUR Whey Protein Energy Bar has received the “Best Protein Bar” award from Men’s Health in their June 2006 article, “The 125 Best Foods for Men”.

The editors of Men’s Health, along with nutrition advisors and staff meet annually to determine which healthy products will make the grade to score their coveted “Best Food” award. For the second year in a row, DETOUR Whey Protein Energy Bars won the “Best Protein Bar” award.

With over 10,000 new products launched annually, Men’s Health was challenged with eliminating foods that contained less than desirable ingredients such as unhealthy trans-fats but at the same time, maintained an excellent taste profile. Based on the criteria established by the leading magazine, DETOUR Whey Protein Energy Bar scored another #1 spot in 2006.

David Jenkins, 3 time Olympian and creator of DETOUR Whey Protein Energy Bars, states, “It’s no surprise DETOUR would receive this impressive award for the second year running. DETOUR was developed to provide a healthy alternative to the current protein bars on the market…without sacrificing taste!” Jenkins explains, “We’re extremely proud of our ability to produce fresh bars daily at our own facility in Nevada – it’s an advantage we have over the competition.” Jenkins adds, “The recognition received from one of the premier men’s magazine, Men’s Health, is truly fulfilling.”

ABOUT DETOUR

Available in GNC, Vitamin Shoppe and Vitamin World stores across the country, each 85 gram DETOUR bar is packed with 30 grams of muscle-building protein. The 43 gram DETOUR bar, which contains 15 grams of protein, is available in Rite Aid, Wal-Mart, Albertson’s, Sam’s, 7-Eleven and c-stores nationwide. For more information, visit www.detourbar.com

New Thinking in Home Stereo

2006-05-16T23:09:00.000-07:00

New Thinking in Home Stereo--Attention retail consumers: you don't have to buy that rubbish from the high street electronics store! You know it will only malfunction and fall apart like an '87 Plymouth.

There is an alternative! Go heavy duty. Go professional. Go tough. Go strong. Go powerful. Go quality. Get the real thing!

What's in your living room right now? Do you have a large silvery plastic thing containing a couple of cassette decks, a pop-up CD drawer or a five disc carousel and an FM tuner with LED's all over it? Is part of it broken, just like the one you had before?

Let's face it, most of the equipment we see on the shelves at "The Good Guys" and "Circuit City" is all flash and no guts. You drop it and it breaks. You bump it, it cracks. You push it a little too roughly and the doors jam open or closed. And even though the stickers proclaim 200w total system power, it sounds awful if you turn the volume up.

Well it's our own fault that these things are out there on those shelves. We buy them, we break them and we replace them. And we're too polite or stupid to say "Hey, this thing sounds awful and parts of it don't work anymore!"

Tom Carlile in line for national award
A young Southender is being trumped as a potential winner of a national award after making waves in community communications.

Wavemaker, a national youth charity, highlights and celebrates the things children and young people throughout the UK have achieved through their annual awards scheme.

Last year, the young people behind Vibe, Southend's very own teenage health magazine picked up an award.

This year, Southend Youth Council member Tom Carlile, an 18-year-old from Westcliff-on-Sea, has made it onto the shortlist.

He was nominated by Southend Youth and Connexions Service for his work on the Proactive Essex Police Youth Strategy and developing a Youth Police Authority for Essex.

He said: "I thought up the idea of a Youth Police Authority to bridge the communication gap between the police and young people. Apart from crime issues, as either victims or perpetrators, there isn't much contact at all. I hope this new organisation will help anyone affected by young people's issues to come together and encourage greater understanding."

Winners of this year's Wavemaker Awards will be notified by June 1 and will be invited to celebrate their achievement at an awards showcase in London on July 6.

Young people, youth organisations, Wavemaker's supporters and celebrities will all come together at the ceremony to recognise the achievements of children and young people.

Michael Bracey, Head of Southend-on-Sea Borough Council's Youth and Connexions Service, said: "We are all delighted that Tom has made it onto the shortlist for this prestigious national award and hope that he makes it two in a row for Southend."

health magazine: Women With Dry Skin Find Relief With Unconventional Oil-Based Moisturizer From J'esprit Corp.

J'esprit Research Team Has More Than 100 Years' Experience in Skincare Industry

CHESAPEAKE, Va., April 12 /PRNewswire/ -- J'esprit Corporation today announced the release of Oui J'esprit Shower Oil, an oil-based moisturizer for women that doesn't evaporate like many water-based moisturizers and can be conveniently applied in the shower when pores are best able to absorb and retain moisture.

The company's lead dermatologist, Dr. Robert Baer, and its president, Ye- Vetta Wilson-Worst, worked with a team of cosmetic chemists to create a formula that would allow women to apply a blend of natural oils, vitamins and ceramides to leave their skin feeling nourished and silky - not oily.

"We wanted to create a moisturizer that was almost like a nutritional supplement for a woman's skin and could last all day," Wilson-Worst said. "We worked hard to make sure that our oil would penetrate and replenish a woman's skin without making it feel oily."

Each bottle of Oui J'esprit Shower Oil includes various essential oils, including safflower seed, jojoba, rice bran, avocado, rosehips, and tea tree. The product also includes aloe extract, a natural anti-bacterial moisturizer, vitamins A, B, C, D, E, and K - which are anti-oxidants that prevent irritation and rebuild and protect cells - and ceramide 3, which is naturally found in the skin and retains natural oils and rebuilds depleted lipids. Ceramides are the most common type of lipid and comprise 45 percent of lipids in skin. While many facial moisturizers incorporate ceramides into their formulas, Oui J'esprit imparts the benefits of ceramides to the entire body.

Oui J'esprit Shower Oil is applied after showering while the skin is still wet - avoiding the feet and face; excess oil is then rinsed off. The oil and its application process help the skin stay soft and moisturized hours longer than traditional lotions.

"Damp skin allows for better absorption and helps lock in moisture," according to Dr. Jeanine Downie in the January/February 2003 issue of Health magazine.

Over time, ceramides in the skin and in J'esprit oil will help women retain more moisture, so their skin appears smoother and younger.

Oui J'esprit Shower Oil comes in an 8-oz. bottle, which sells for $60, and a 4-oz. bottle, which sells for $45. The oil comes in two scents - morning dew and lavender. The company plans to launch a men's line of shower oils in the near future.

Hot wired: Blazing the entertainment trail

2006-05-13T21:56:00.000-07:00

High-tech consumer gadgetry gets shown off around the world each year in the first weeks of January, so trail-blazing electronics manufacturers don't get much of a New Year's break.

A four-day trade show in Las Vegas sounds like a bit of a high-life doddle, but this year's record-breaking Consumer Electronics Show (CES) attracted 2500 exhibitors and 150,000 punters.

Needless to say, heaps of hotels and exhibition centres are needed to accommodate all those people. The Samsung booth alone covered 2500sq m.

At CES, both market leaders and lesser companies get to show off their innovations. Bill Gates and Larry Page are regulars, and this year Hollywood stars including Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres and Tom Cruise helped get the big-business message out.

Morgan Freeman was there as a spokesman for services that will soon be delivering first-run movies to people's homes via the internet while the movies play in theatres. ClickStar, a joint venture between his production company and Intel, will this year release a movie starring Freeman called 10 Items or Less that will be downloadable two weeks after it is released.

There was disappointingly little in the way of revolutionary new home-theatre products at CES.

Toshiba was one company to show off new television technology. Its prototype flat-panel SED (surface-conduction electron-emitter display) screens greatly impressed, and the picture quality was rated superior to LCD or plasma screens. Toshiba expects to release this new SED line late this year with screen sizes starting at 55in.

Toshiba's new Gigabeat S Series portable video player was also acclaimed - and was even talked up as a challenger to the iPod.

The brand also showed some of the first HD-DVD players, expected to be on sale in the US by April. They can upscale standard DVD images to 720p or 1080i, making things look even better if you have an HDTV standing idle.

Panasonic is committed to plasma, and asserted that biggest is best with a 103in plasma TV screen - out-gunning rival Samsung by a whole inch.

Both home-entertainment giants had high-definition Blu-ray disc players on display. These units look to offer lots of advantages over standard or even HD-DVD players including much greater hard-disc capacity, but will be several months away and will break new cost frontiers.

For LCD-screen advocates, Westinghouse showed a 56in display with eight megapixels - four times the standard 1080 pixel count. Targeted at those needing ultra-high resolution like medical imaging, it is nonetheless a pointer to LCDs' flexibility.

And in case those choices aren't enough to confuse, Philips Electronics was talking up 3D TV, saying it hoped to introduce a high-definition television that can play 3D content in about two years.

health magazine: 'Potty' Prince Charles

2006-05-11T00:57:00.000-07:00

Britain's Prince Charles says he knows he is called the 'Potty Prince' and is constantly ridiculed for his wacky ideas.

The 57-year-old, who has previously admitted talking to plants and singing to seals, admits he is known as the most eccentric member of the British royal family.

He told the May issue of Britain's 'Men's Health' magazine: 'I've been labelled the Potty Prince and all that stuff. There's been endless ridiculing and rubbishing, endless laughing.

'But is it so controversial to suggest we're made up of mind, body and spirit and not just the body?'

The heir to the throne is a vocal supporter of alternative medicines, once endorsing a controversial cancer treatment which involved taking coffee enemas and drinking fruit juice instead of taking drugs.

Asked how men could be encouraged to take better care of their health, the prince - who celebrates his second wedding anniversary with the Duchess of Cornwall this Sunday (09.04.06) - replied: 'Through the ladies, I would have thought. It's funny, the influence women can have on getting us men sorted out is enormous.'

Plain Dealer Columnist
I got a call from a credit-card company dude asking where the heck my payment was. I told him I'd send it just as soon as the dying am bassador's widow who e-mailed me made that deposit in my account. I got him off the phone this one time. But I have to admit, I'm no Michael Jackson. (See, I really do have a point here.) Wacko Jacko has gone for years owing one company close to $270 million. Well, The New York Times said that while Jacko was hiding out in Bahrain, his money people worked out a deal to increase his debt to $300 million and lower his $4.5 million monthly payments. If all the parties agree, all he will have to give up is a stake in his 50 percent share of the Beatles catalog, which is worth about $1 billion. He also gets a slightly used Gremlin, Lasik surgery and a complete set of Ginsu knives. Meanwhile, I can't get a credit-card company to "let it be." I wonder, if a tree falls in a "Norwegian wood," and I'm not there to hear it, will MJ pay my bill?

Let's talk ethics:

The latest claim by a gloating New York Daily News is that one of the New York Post's gossip reporters took a freebie trip from Jaguar to visit the Left Coast and tool around in vintage cars. But the reporter said it was OK because he didn't write anything. This is just the newest Page Six revelation, right on the heels of the Page Six scandal in which billionaire grocery dude Ron Burkle taped part-time Post gossip reporter Jared Stern purportedly hitting him up for almost a quarter-mill. That much money would help me keep the credit-card ijits off my back. But you should know, I would never, ever, ever consider such a thing. Why? Well, first off, it's a firing offense. I've never been fired, but it doesn't sound like a pleasant experience. Besides, if I did get fired, it's a given that more than one guy would be hounding me. Second, I don't want to be beholden to anyone. This way, nobody is off limits. Except, of course, for my Lovely Bride, who knows that I have to sleep sometime. Third - and most important - it would be wrong. Look, I'm a so-so driver, I drink more than I should, I have too much fondness for words of the four-letter variety, and I have been known to leave a single tattered sheet on the toilet-paper roll. But my parents raised me to be honest. If I screw up, I screw up. But I won't do it by lying or intentionally bending reality to fit anyone else's agenda - or my own. Unless, of course, it gets that credit-card guy to leave me alone. Kidding!

Did I say that out loud?

Josh Holloway, who stars in "Lost," told Men's Health magazine that he's happily married. Boy, he sure sounds like it: "If I were single? Damn, I'd have one girl doing my laundry, one shaving me, one bringing me a cocktail and another one coming out of my tent all hung over." Dude, 10 seconds after your wife reads that, you just might be single.

So that's why:

It took Dave Chappelle 10 pages in the new Esquire to explain why he skipped out on a $50 million deal for his "Chappelle's Show." "The bottom line was, white people own everything, and where can a black person go and be himself or say something that's familiar to him and not have to explain or apologize?" he asked. Shoot, I think the only apology he should make is for leaving us with the claptrap that remains on the tube.

health magazine: Metrosexual man ousted by the ubersexual

2006-05-11T00:55:00.000-07:00

THE metrosexual is dead - say hello to the ubersexual and heteropolitan.

Social commentators have kindled a backlash against the type of preening moisturising male exemplified by the likes of Gavin Henson and David Beckham.

In their place, they have coined novel phrases for a slightly more rugged breed of new man, similar to the metrosexual but displaying more traditionally "manly" traits.

Equally at home on the school run or on the rugby pitch, the ubersexual role models are the likes of Jos Mourinho, Brad Pitt or our very own Brent Cockbain - nicknamed "disaster" on the pitch, yet just as happy to rustle up a tasty chutney from his allotment vegetables.

Heteropolitans, meanwhile, are usually young family men unafraid to change nappies one minute and then head down the pub with the lads the next. Think Jamie Oliver, Vernon Kay or even Port Talbot actor and committed father Michael Sheen.

Advertising guru Marian Salzman coined ubersexual in her book, The Future of Men, partly in response to metrosexuals looking like "sad sacks incapable of retaining their sense of manhood".

She said, "We think that metrosexuals have been upstaged by this ubersexual guy who's more masculine, who's looking for stronger male relationships.

"He still has some of those characteristics of the metrosexual - he's more aesthetic, more concerned with how he looks, more interested in furniture and great wines - but he's more of a guy's guy."

She points to figures such as Bono and George Clooney as ideal ubersexuals.

Heteropolitan meanwhile - which cynics could dismiss as the bits left over when the word metrosexual was invented - was recently identified in Men's Health magazine to describe the kind of men not averse to pubs and grooming but also "surprisingly committed to relationships and family life".

At the same time trend-spotters say the "death" of the metrosexual phenomenon is apparent in the closure of influential male shopping magazine Cargo.

Worse, Mark Simpson - widely credited with inventing the word - says the sight of permatanned, brylcreemed and waxed men has simply become too "common" in an era when Welsh rugby star Gavin Henson has happily confessed to shaving, moisturising and applying fake tan before matches.

Stephen Williams, a lecturer in sociology at the University of Glamorgan, believes the bewildering array of new terms may be little more than a marketing ploy.

"I think this is new advertising terminology, and may be more to do with who they're targeting goods and services at," he said.

"It's irrelevant and all it does is create more stereotypes which nobody can live up to.

"But what you are getting is a trend towards men wanting to be more caring and move towards a less hegemonic masculinity of the kind that said rugby players had nothing 'effeminate' about them in the 1970s.

"Nowadays we've got Gavin Henson and a shift towards men who are masculine in a different way. You can still be masculine but without being sexist or homophobic."

Dr Williams personally preferred the more neutral term "new man", dreamt up in the 1980s to capture men's burgeoning roles as hands-on family men.

"When you've got metrosexual and other '-sexual' words people start to ask, 'What exactly is that?' and start to be more wary about whether they can accept that."

But whether or not we really are witnessing the death knell of the metrosexual, just as once we saw the demise of the 'new man' with the rise of 'lad culture', Dr Williams conceded labels did have some benefits.

"I think the 'new man' label enabled men to both recognise their vanity and to realise they were missing out on the positives of child-raising.

"And the metrosexual tag again has highlighted the issue that men do use moisturiser," he added.

Roulette Systems?

2006-05-10T23:41:00.000-07:00

Legions of people are forever devising systems to beat roulette, but if those systems were any good, casino owners would do what it takes in a New York minute so no lamb could ever slaughter the butcher. It’s a gimme that owners of gambling joints don’t spend bazillions of dollars to build mega-resorts so that some system player can come in, beat the hell out of the place, and ask for the keys to the front door.

The schemes I am speaking of, advertised on the Internet and elsewhere with windy but empty 'guarantees,' that they are the sure-shot systems that will teach you to tar-and-feather the casino. Send $10. P. O. Box---.' Now, if their POBOX scheme were that good, would Mr. POBOX be waiting around for your measly $10 to show when all he could do is walk into a casino and pulverize the place? In reality, I do not know a casino owner alive who wouldn’t send the limousine for a roulette system player with a certified bankroll. and load them up with all the comps he could manage, and still make a fortune off him. The casino owner might even consider sending POBOX a thank-you note.

For games of chance, which means most casino games like roulette, the best a player can do is to wager on bets having the lowest casino advantage or find the right type of roulette table. No system can change the fact that all wagers on an American Wheel (this is the wheel that offers both 0, 00) with the exception of the Five-number bet, give the casino an advantage of 5.26%. For an even better value, find a casino that offers single zero roulette tables. A single zero game will give the casino only a 2.7% edge on all roulette bets.

An example of a good wager would be an even-money bet (red/black, odd/even, 1-18/9-36) in Atlantic City, where you lose only half your wager if the roulette ball lands on 0 or 00. These outside wagers cut the house edge down from 5.26 to 2.63%. Keep in mind that this advantage is only in effect for even-money bets.

Finally, look for a true European single-zero wheel that offers a rule called 'en prison.' If you make an even money bet and the ball lands on zero, the croupier doesn’t rake in your wager. Instead, your bet is 'imprisoned' or held hostage, and you are forced to let it ride until the next spin. If your bet wins, you can remove it from the table. What is exciting about this wager is that it cuts the house edge on even money bets in half, down to a very respectable 1.35%. This makes it the absolute best bet on a roulette table.

We also need to chitchat about money management systems. Money management cannot affect the house advantage on any wager, nor guarantee that you will win more money. If the house has an advantage before you apply a money management system, it has that same advantage even after you apply money management techniques. Some NMMS (Nincompoop Money Management Schemes), now being hawked by mail order hucksters, seem to promise you once again, casino proprietorship, but it ain’t so - no way - can’t be.

An Excellent Source of Lean Protein, Packed with Essential Nutrients and Heart-Healthy Omega-3 Fatty Acids -- StarKist Continues to Reel In the Accolades with its Delicious, Hassle-fresh and Healthy StarKist Tuna Fillets

Charlie(R) the tuna's latest mouth-watering catch is making a splash with the editors at Health magazine, one of America's most trusted sources on healthy living. Health magazine today announced that StarKist Tuna Fillets(TM) is a winner in the 2006 "Best in Foods" Awards. Reeling in the accolades -- StarKist Tuna Fillets is among 25 of the best foods of the year that will be featured in the publication's May issue, which is now on newsstands

Health reviewed more than 500 products--from snacks and staples to frozen meals and desserts--based on criteria that included taste, nutrition, convenience, and availability. The 25 winners were chosen by a panel of highly-skilled, food-savvy judges including: best-selling cookbook author Mark Bittman; Food Network's Robin Miller; spa chef Scott Uehlein; and, Supermarket Guru Phil Lempert.

"The result of our 'Best of Foods' Awards is a well-edited list of foods you don't have to think twice about filling your shopping cart or your stomach with," says Frances Largeman, RD, Health's food and nutrition editor. "Our panel was impressed by StarKist Tuna Fillets for several reasons - great taste, convenience and the heart-healthy benefits of Omega-3 fatty acids that are found in tuna. This product is ideal for a high-protein lunch at the office. We applaud StarKist for taking tuna to the next level with these new fillets."

According to Lisa Henriksen, Vice President of Marketing at StarKist Seafood, "We are thrilled that StarKist Tuna Fillets was named a 2006 "Best in Foods" Awards winner.

Nutritional Benefits Galore

"StarKist Tuna Fillets, an essential part of a heart-healthy diet, deliver the same health benefits associated with the complete line of StarKist products," said Laura Molseed, Registered Dietitian, Del Monte Foods. "Eating tuna is an excellent and affordable source of lean protein and essential vitamins and minerals. In fact, it is one of the easiest ways for consumers to add foods rich in Omega-3s to their diet and fulfill the twice weekly servings of fish as recommended by the American Heart Association."

Recent studies have shown that consuming foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids can help maintain a healthy heart, lowers blood pressure and is critical for a child's brain development. StarKist tuna is an excellent low-fat source of protein and a natural source of the B Vitamins, Niacin and B-12, as well as Selenium and Omega 3 fatty acids. These nutrients are part of a healthy, balanced diet. Consider:

-- Tuna fish provides an excellent source of lean protein; it is low in total fat and saturated fat.

-- The B Vitamins, Niacin and B-12 found in tuna fish are essential to maintain energy levels and build red blood cells.

-- Selenium, an essential mineral, acts as a powerful antioxidant, protecting cells from damage and promoting cell growth.

-- EPA and DHA Omega 3 Fatty Acids found in tuna fish have been shown to reduce the risk of heart disease, macular degeneration and to promote brain and visual development in children.

"If we can get people to eat just one more serving of tuna each week, as well as a variety of fruits, vegetables and tomatoes, each day - that is a significant movement towards a healthier lifestyle," said Molseed. "With StarKist Tuna Fillets, consumers can easily increase their intake of Omega 3 fatty acids and begin to enjoy the benefits of a balanced diet, an essential part of healthy living."

Health magazine: Health magazine given green light

2006-05-09T00:41:00.002-07:00

A schools' health magazine which was shelved because of concerns over its content has been given the go-ahead.
Distribution of the Explode magazine was put on hold after Portsmouth's education chief objected to the way it gave advice on sex, drugs and alcohol.

The city council and the YMCA have now agreed it can be distributed to primary schools - as long as parents consent to their children being given it.

A copy will be sent to the head teacher of every primary school in the city.

Content 'handled sensitively'

The distribution of the magazine, which looks at health issues affecting children and young people, to ten and 11-year-olds was postponed last month.

The council and the YMCA Fairthorne Group, who were both involved in putting together the magazine, have since held talks over how it should be used.

Schools have been told to give parents the opportunity to see the magazine for themselves so that they can decide if they want their children to take part in lessons using it.

Lynda Fisher, the council's strategic director for children, families and learning, said: "Following discussions about the risks associated with distributing a magazine that includes content that needs to be handled sensitively, I am delighted that we were able to reach a agreement with the YMCA Fairthorne Group."

Health magazine: Health magazine bills create ill will

2006-05-09T00:41:00.001-07:00

AT YOUR SERVICE: In the spring of 2003, our school ordered Current Health magazine with money from a Community of Caring grant. The magazines were delivered in my name. We did not renew this subscription. This fall we started receiving Current Health 1 and 2 . I had not received a bill until Jan. 10. It indicates the account is more than four months past due. I do not have authority to make purchases for the school and think I have no obligation to pay this bill just because it is in my name. The company is threatening my personal credit.

I called Weekly Reader ’s customer service department Jan. 30. I was told an order was placed online in my name Aug. 4, 2005. I had not been on their Web site until Jan. 30. I would appreciate your help in clearing this up. — M.E., Excelsior Springs

Dear M.E.: Shortly after we contacted Weekly Reader, you told us that someone with the magazine had called you and insisted that you placed the order and could not understand that teachers do not usually spend more than $700 out of their pocket for school books. The representative said she would mail you a copy of the Web site order, but you said you hadn’t received it but did get another bill for $589.20.

We contacted the parent company, WRC Media Inc. The company said an order for you and eight additional subscriptions, each from different health teachers at different schools, had been entered. These subscriptions were submitted on Aug. 2, 2005, with a confirming e-mail address for the person who did the paperwork on your original order. The company said it later received separate requests to cancel some of the subscriptions, along with your request in January.

The company said that during the time between receiving the Web order and cancellation in January, five issues of Current Health were sent to you. The magazines were not returned, and the company concluded that you kept them. The company has credited the remaining balance and assured you that your personal credit was not threatened.

Health magazine: Charles tells muscle magazine how the women keep men fit

2006-05-09T00:41:00.000-07:00

THE PRINCE of Wales has revealed his top tips on staying fit and talked about the influence women can have on male well being.

Charles, 57, tells Men's Health magazine that the best way to get men to pay more attention to their health is "via the ladies", as he gives his first interview for the publication.

He said, "It's funny, the influence that women can have on getting us men sorted out is enormous."

The magazine - famous for the rippling muscles of its cover models - called him a "Great British Pioneer, a dissident defender of the nation's health".

Men's Health is currently asking its readers to enter a competition to be a cover model if they have a "cracking body" and asks them to send in a photo of their head and chest, minus shirts.

The Prince, pictured, who does not grace the cover, added, "I'm not a medical man, but I am a historian. I've got a degree. They can't take that away from me. History is a very valuable tool I think for understanding a lot of things."

And he said, "I've been labelled the 'Potty Prince' and all that stuff.
"There's been endless ridiculing and rubbishing, endless laughing full stop.
"But is it so controversial to suggest that we are actually made up of mind, body and spirit and not just of the body?"
Men's Health is mostly aimed men in their 30s and dedicates itself to the subjects of fitness, health and sex.
A Clarence House spokesman said, "We were very happy to do the interview.
Men's Health asked the Prince to do it for their Best of British section.
"They wanted to look at his contribution to health matters.
"It was a great chance to reach out to an audience of young men."
The issue goes on sale on Monday.

CATZ Introduces Family Fitness Saturdays

2006-05-04T01:17:00.000-07:00

CATZ Introduces Family Fitness Saturdays For New Year's Resolutions and to celebrate the launch of its Needham corporate headquarters, CATZ Competitive Athlete Training Zone is introducing Family Fitness Saturdays during the month of January at each of its four Greater Boston locations, including the new 6,000 square foot prototype training facility in Needham. The event begins Saturday, January 7 from 1-3pm and costs $15 per family.

Parents with children ages 8 and older are invited to experience the newest fitness trend created in California called "Train-Like-Sport". Originally developed for professional athletes to stay in shape and heighten athleticism, the fitness regimen has recently been adapted for fitness enthusiasts of all ages and all levels. The popular training philosophy focuses less on traditional fitness equipment and more on a fast-paced simulation of sport activity driven by a participating coach. The CATZ system matches the chaotic nature of sport and mimics its continually changing environment where a participant is required to react instantly, adjust to verbal and visual cues and respond immediately. Each program is tailored to the individual group.

CATZ is gaining popularity on a national level for its ability to bring parents and their children together for fitness, especially in the wake of devastating budget cuts to physical education. Men's Health Magazine named CATZ one of the top gyms in America citing its success in designing programs for adults and their sons or daughters. According to Co-CEO Lars Hem. "Our original mission was to bring this fitness style to people other than pro athletes, including kids, and as a result we've created an opportunity to bring parents and kids together in a healthy manner that's never been done before. We designed Family Fitness Saturdays to encourage more people to experience CATZ as a family and reach their new year's resolutions." For more information on CATZ, call 781-559-0203, log onto catzsports.com or visit the new training facility located at 114 1st Avenue in Needham, MA. CATZ is also located at 30 Great Road, Acton 978-287-5533; 5 Carver Circle, Canton 781-828-0000; 36 6th Road, Woburn 781-939-9955.

TEXAS by the Sea

2006-05-03T20:57:00.000-07:00

The Gulf Coast attracts nature lovers, fishing enthusiasts, and history hounds

Bending 367 miles from the Louisiana border near Galveston to South Padre Island. The Texas Gulf Coast is a semitropical stretch of dune-backed beaches and barrier islands that have been attracting visitors since the seafaring conquistador Alonzo Alvarez de Pineda first stepped ashore on Padre Island back in 1519.

While the region is quite naturally a paradise for anglers, boaters, bird-watchers. and sunbathers, there's a surprising diversity of attractions sure to appeal to visitors of all ages and interests. So let's review some of the best things to see and do on a Gulf Coast vacation, from Galveston--just a short hop south of Houston--to the "tropical tip" of Texas at South Padre Island and Brownsville.

Galveston. Although proudly boasting 32 miles of broad white-sand beaches and a bounty of that fresh, tasty seafood that has made the Gulf Coast region famous, it is historic architecture that stands out as the most notable feature in this island city of some 60,000 people. More than 550 structures have been designated as historical landmarks on the National Register of Historic Places, harking back to the 19th century when this seaport was one of the largest and wealthiest cities in Texas.

Galveston's golden age came to a tragic end on September 8, 1900, when a massive hurricane devastated the island, destroying more than a third of the city and killing 6,000 people. The storm still ranks as the deadliest natural disaster in the nation's history and renders all the more amazing the city's remaining treasure trove of magnificent, mostly Victorian buildings.

The Strand National Historic Landmark District, formerly known as the "Wall Street of the Southwest," stretches along the city's waterfront and is now home to more than 100 shops, restaurants, museums, and art galleries. Two neighborhoods are also designated--the East End Historic District and the Silk Stocking District--and collectively there are 16 historic homes and buildings open for tours. Among them, mansions such as Ashton Villa, Bishop's Palace, and Moody Mansion offer visitors a revealing glimpse of Galveston's gilded past.

Protect your prostate; for some men, diet makes or breaks prostate health

2006-05-01T23:59:00.000-07:00

A LINK BETWEEN genetics and diet may determine if you get prostate cancer. About one in four men have an inherited genetic variation (MnSOD AA) that makes them vulnerable to prostate cancer if their levels of certain antioxidants--namely lycopene, selenium, and vitamin E--are low. This is according to a study conducted at Brigham and Women's Hospital and Harvard Medical School in Boston.

Unfortunately, you can't get tested to see if you have the vulnerable genotype. "We're not at that stage yet," says lead researcher Haojie Li, M.D. So how do you know if you should eat your tomatoes, Brazil nuts, and wheat germ? The prostates of men with the other genotypes (MnSOD VV or MnSOD VA) are not as vulnerable to oxidative stress, says Li, "but from the current knowledge, it looks like these antioxidants are beneficial for all men in terms of prostate-cancer prevention."

In a related study, reported in April at the annual meeting of the American Association for Cancer Research, the antioxidants found in green tea showed remarkable protection against prostate cancer. After taking 600 milligrams per day of caffeine-free catechins for a year, only one man in a group of 32 subjects with pre-malignant lesions developed prostate cancer, compared to nine men in a control group. (Other research has found that a daily glass of red wine may cut prostate-cancer risk in half; see our March 2005 issue, page 107.)

In addition, too much cholesterol is detrimental, prostate-wise. While elevated blood cholesterol doesn't seem to cause prostate cancer, it can help an existing tumor thrive, say researchers at Children's Hospital in Boston. Anti-cholesterol statin drugs are a viable treatment option. But the bottom line is that a healthy diet high in antioxidants and low in cholesterol-promoting trans and saturated fats can only do a fella good.

Steps to success for healthcare IT:

2006-05-01T23:33:00.000-07:00

Advertisers in the technology issue of hfm magazine offer their thoughts

Question: "What is the greatest challenge to the effective use of IT in health care and one key step to overcoming this challenge?"

"The greatest challenge to the effective use of IT in health care is to clearly identify healthcare issues in partnership with IT staff so that solutions are designed that meet the real needs of the healthcare industry."

--Janet Powers. Senior Marketing and Sales Manager, American Health Information Management Association

"Lack of adoption of supply chain standards. Organizations such as CHeS and GS1 have developed tools and established clear standards for business between trading partners. The technology exists to operate a seamless supply chain, yet our industry is plagued by errors that slow down the process, increase costs, and provide the wrong products to the wrong parties. By conforming to standards, healthcare professionals will increase IT efficiencies, reduce costs, and become better stewards of healthcare dollars."

--Robert Perry, President, Association for Healthcare Resource & Materials Management

"The greatest challenge healthcare organizations face is obtaining the return on technology investments they anticipated at the time of their investment. One key step to success is the implementation of an enterprisewide IT strategic planning and management initiative. The critical role IT plays in their business can go unrecognized by management. Identification and communication of organizational business needs must become the driver for planning, acquiring, and deploying business critical IT solutions."

--Rodney A. Walsh, Senior Managing Consultant, BKD, LLP

"The introduction of new technologies has brought remarkable improvements over the past few decades to the healthcare industry There is. however, widespread variation in how such new. as well as existing, technologies are used across hospitals, indicating that the most effective and efficient technologies may not always be the ones employed. There is a significant need to establish leadership and coordination in the aspects of technology development, deployment, and usage. Putting technology in place is one thing; using it to the maximum is another. Training and motivation are essential if investments in technology are to realize maximum benefits. Some of the barriers to maximization of use are psycho logical, which may be overcome by training or motivational programs."
