Working with the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine, who will be providing immediate air shipment to Haiti and in-country distribution, Sanomedics hopes this donation will as sist medical personnel identify potential disease outbreaks as quickly as possible.
“Accurate temperature scans, without spreading germs, is a first line of defense in dealing with a situation of such magnitude. Sanomedics looks forward to working with the University of Miami in distributing our equipment as quickly as possible, and helping the people of Haiti any way we can.”
The Sanomedics Non-Contact Infrared Thermometer can take a patient’s temperature in less than one second, without requiring physical contact. With proven accuracy comparable to any contact temperature method, Sanomedics’ non-contact products can help limit potential germ spread from patient to patient.
“The situation in Haiti is rapidly evolving, with an increasing possibility of a disease outbreak at any time,” stated Keith Houlihan, CEO of Sanomedics. “Accurate temperature scans, without spreading germs, is a first line of defense in dealing with a situation of such magnitude. Sanomedics looks forward to working with the University of Miami in distributing our equipment as quickly as possible, and helping the people of Haiti any way we can.”

Wednesday, 27 January 2010Hyland’s Inc., a leading provider of homeopathic medicine, announces the kick-off of the Get Up & Get Healthy campaign and contest, a grass-roots effort aimed at encouraging families to get involved in their own health this winter. Founded as a neighborhood Los Angeles pharmacy in 1903, Hyland’s is heading back to the streets nationwide, helping consumers discover natural ways to fight off cold a nd flu symptoms at the first sign of sickness.
The Get Up & Get Healthy campaign and contest will launch performing street teams on January 27th in Philadelphia, Los Angeles and Miami. These teams will be appearing near train stations, parks and areas of heavy foot traffic, acting sick before “getting healthy,” and putting on a must-see lively performance. Look for the Get Up & Get Healthy street teams walking down Market Street in Philadelphia, traveling from the Pier in Santa Monica to the 3rd Street Promenade in Los Angeles, and performing through the streets of Coconut Grove in Miami. Make sure you’re there to take a photo of the street team and upload it onto the Hyland’s Facebook page for a chance to win a grand prize of a $1,000 gift card.
“This cold and flu season, consumers can rest assured that they have access to safe, effective and natural solutions with Hyland’s,” said Mary C. Borneman, Hyland’s official spokesperson. “We’re always looking for new ways to educate consumers on the benefits of homeopathic solutions. What better way to get individuals involved in taking a natural approach to their health than getting into the neighborhoods and engaging with individuals one on one. ”
Here’s how you win: Snap a photo or video of the Hyland’s Get Up & Get Healthy street team in action and post it to www.Facebook.com/Hylands.health. Encourage your friends and family to go to the site and vote for your photo by either clicking “like” or posting a comment.

Tuesday, 26 January 2010It’s been nearly a month since you made that New Year’s resolution to eat healthier, start exercising and lose weight. Over 45% of Americans set the same goal as you. But more importantly, nearly 75% of those people will break their resolution by the end of March.
Sticking to your weight loss goals doesn’t have to be as daunting as it sounds. Certified bariatricians Craig Primack, M.D. and Robert Ziltzer, M.D., founders of Scottsdale Weight Loss Center, have developed a few tips that promote weight loss throughout the entire year, not just during the first few weeks of the New Year.
* Set a realistic goal. You are more likely to achieve success if you know where you’re going. Write down your goal and give yourself a realistic amount of time to achieve it.
* Research the weight loss plans that are more likely to succeed. Find a plan in which you have confidence and makes sense to you. Don’t wait. Begin that plan as soon as possible.
* Give that plan a reasonable amount of time to work. Allow at least two to four weeks. If that plan does not give you the success you desire, it’s okay to choose another plan. Just don’t give up!
* While self-help diet books, pre-packaged food plans and commercial weight programs can produce results, medically monitored programs under the care of a doctor can help you achieve maximum results, losing as many as 10-15 pounds each month.
* Eat and drink. Look for a plan that encourages eating four-six times daily, consisting of decreased amounts of sugars (carbohydrates). Limit potatoes, rice, bread and pasta, as they will just make you hungry.
* Fill up with generous amounts of salad greens, celery, broccoli, cauliflower, and other green vegetables. Use calorie-free dressings, vinegar or lemon juice, and eliminate most fat containing oils.
* Drink 64 oz. of water or non-caloric fluids (less than 10 calories daily for each 8 oz.). Water is best, but Crystal Light, diet soda, tea and black coffee with skim milk are good choices. Skip juices and sugar-sweetened drinks such as sodas and blended coffees.
* Exercise regularly. Begin activities such as walking, treadmill, elliptical machines, bicycling or dancing to help you keep off the weight you have lost.
* Rest is crucial. Get at least seven hours of sleep each night. This is critical to weight loss. For instance, night shift workers tend to be sleep deprived and have more hunger than their daytime counterparts.
* Never buy bigger pants! Throw out your oversized clothes. If they ever get tight, resume the weight loss plan that brought you the success.
* Stay accountable. Once you have lost weight, keep up the great changes you have made and weigh yourself at least three times per week.

Monday, 25 January 2010In the midst of Healthy Weight Week, businesses such as San Diego-based VQ ActionCare are taking note. Developer of the patented, award-winning, at-home exercise system for mature adults, the Resistance Chair®, VQ ActionCare sees Healthy Weight Week as a simple reminder of the weight loss and maintenance successes its customers experience year-round.
“New Year’s resolutions come and go , but the Resistance Chair® truly changes lives!” said Andrew Siminoff, Media Director at VQ ActionCare.
A Personal Story: At 73 years old, Louise Geary Crawford of Georgia was told by her doctor that losing weight just wasn’t a possibility at her age. It wasn’t that Louise just wanted to be thin; she longed for flexibility and more energy to keep up with her three careers as an ICU nurse, a real estate agent, and the owner of the health foods store, Apple A Day. She wanted to be able to walk properties with her real estate clients and prove to her customers at the health food store that proper diet and exercise can keep you fit and healthy.
Despite an already balanced diet, Louise decided to try several diet programs. They didn’t make a difference. She used dumbbells. No change there. Louise finally turned to a product she saw on TV: the Resistance Chair®. Four months and 46 pounds later, Louise admits “it was not difficult” to lose the weight. She notes that resistance training has been neglected and, for most women, it’s really the key in sculpting the body and losing weight.
Louise has not only lost nearly 50 pounds, she’s also lowered her cholesterol by 20 points and improved her bone density levels. “The Resistance Exercise is the best thing to take off weight, and it’s great for the cardiovascular and respiratory system. I have more energy and my pants are almost falling off of me now!”
