People suffering from Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) may benefit from daily Omega-3 supplements.
According to results of a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial of Japanese accident survivors, which was conducted by scientists from Japan's University of Toyama and the Division of Health Care Research, the Center for Public Health Sciences and National Cancer Center, supplementation with Omega-3 Fatty Acids may beneficially affect psycho-physiological symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which is known to produce psycho-physiological symptoms, such as a pounding heart. But the new data indicated that DHA-rich Omega-3 Polyunsaturated Fatty Acids (PUFAs) supplementation may reduce the increases in heart rate associated with PTSD. The scientists note that the heart-rate-reducing action of Omega-3 PUFAs indicates potential benefits for those at high risk of PTSD, aside from the psycho-physiological symptoms themselves - for two reasons: (1) Fast heart rate is a risk factor for cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality, whereas PTSD is a risk factor for CVD and mortality; and (2) Omega-3 PUFAs are effective for other psychiatric disorders (e.g., depression) and are highly co-morbid with PTSD (meaning two diseases existing simultaneously with and often independently of another medical condition). The researchers recruited 83 Japanese accident survivors to participate in their trial. Participants were randomly assigned to receive either placebo or Omega-3 supplements providing 1,470 mg of DHA and 147 mg of EPA daily over twelve weeks. Results demonstrated that Omega-3 supplementation reduced heart rate during both rest and script-driven imagery, compared with placebo, whereas heart rates at the start of the study were comparable between the groups. "The exact mechanism underlying the reduced elevated heart rate (as psycho-physiological symptoms of PTSD) by Omega-3 PUFAs is unknown," wrote the researchers. However, the lack of group differences in skin conductance (another psycho-physiological symptom of PTSD) suggest little involvement of sympathetic nerve activity. Therefore, if the autonomic nerve system were involved, reduced heart rate would be highly likely due to an increase in vagal activity. The vagal nerve is one (and longest) of twelve cranial nerves, supplying the heart, lungs, upper digestive tract and other organs of the chest and abdomen. This view is consistent with previous findings that Omega-3 PUFAs increase vagal activity and that patients with PTSD show decreased vagal activity. Thus, the results suggest that EPA/DHA may have a profound benefit for individuals suffering from PTSD. Another highly esteemed scientist noted that this is not an easy subject area to investigate and, therefore, researchers should be commended for this outstanding research. Very interestingly, military interest in Omega-3 is nothing new: A November 2014 edition of Military Medicine focused on the fatty acids as "nutritional armor." Interest was focused on several different endpoints, including improving mood and reducing suicide rates among serving and ex-military personnel, speeding recovery from traumatic brain injury and improving reaction times of fighter pilots. The scientists concluded: "Post-trauma supplementation of Omega-3 PUFAs could be effective for the secondary prevention of psycho-physiological symptoms of PTSD."

To get the recommended
five servings a day of fruits and vegetables, you might turn to fruit juices, BUT not all fruit beverages are nutritious. Thus, it's important to check the label, looking for 100 percent fruit juice, advises the American Dietetic Association. Fruit beverages that aren't 100 percent juice have added sugars that replace the nutrition found in juice and boost the calories in the drink. Clues to these beverages are in their names: fruit drink, fruit cocktail and fruitade. To get your five servings of fruit each day, try these options, instead of fruit imposters: 6 oz. 100% fruit juice ~ 1 medium fruit ~ 1/4 cup dried fruit ~ 1/2 cup fresh, frozen or canned fruit (watch out for sugary liquids in canned fruit).
For energy to face the day ahead, try a few hints to promote good sleep: Establish regular sleep hours (even during weekends and holidays). Nap wisely (okay, but not longer than fifteen or thirty minutes, interfering with nighttime sleep). Exercise regularly (but not too close to bedtime; you'll fall asleep faster,and sleep will be more restful). Monitor bedtime foods (light snack with carbs okay, but heavy food may cause heartburn and interfere with sleep. Also, NO alcohol, caffeine or nicotine). Unwind at day's end (listen to calming music, soak in a warm bath, read a book). Minimize distractions (NO TV, work materials, electronic devices, computers); and then, close bedroom door, lights out, use a fan to muffle noises). Keep temperature comfy (not too hot; not too cold - just right - for a sound sleep). Don't forget CHAMOMILE, the age-old, gentle, pleasant way to unwind, soothe nerves and induce SLEEP.
Once considered a weed that caused hay fever, it is now said that Goldenrod pollen is not airborne at all, but is carried by bees; and because it blossoms at the same time as the inconspicuous ragweed (the real culprit), it was falsely accused and, in fact, may actually be of some help in managing hay fever (helps to thin and expel mucus and congestion from the upper respiratory tract). Goldenrod supports overall good kidney health and has been used to flush impurities from the kidneys, clearing kidney stones and gravel, as well as help with urinary inflammation and infection (cystitis, urethritis, vaginitis).
Now that the July 4th parties, picnics and barbecues are over (for awhile at least), start the new week with lots of veggies: Vegetables are low in fat and full of natural fiber and essential nutrients! Make sure you're getting the most out of your meals this week by including two types of veggies on your dinner plate, and don't overcook them. Lightly steamed will preserve the important vitamins and minerals and active compounds that are key to good health and helping our bodies (recover?) after all those barbecue goodies.
Oops! FORGET TO EXERCISE?
We already know that exercise can help delay or even stave off dementia, but did you know that regular workouts may actually reverse ageing in the brain? Aerobic exercise enhances speed and sharpness of thought, but it also increases the volume of brain tissue. As little as fifty minutes of brisk walking three times a week was found to have this brain-expanding effect. For an added boost, walk in the park: Researchers found that test subjects whose course took them through a tree-filled setting performed twenty percent better on memory and attention tests than those who walked in town. Think about natural help with an herb like RHODIOLA Root, which is recommended for or anyone with memory problems, because it is believed to improve bodily blood circulation and to the brain. But remember to exercise and Don't Forget!
Melanoma Warning: With summer's burning sun now here, think about preventing skin cancer by avoiding tanning beds, unprotected midday sun, wearing protective clothing in the sun (brimmed hats, long sleeves, wrap-around sunglasses, leg and foot covers, using strong suntan lotion and seeking shade). Remember to be specially careful at the beach: Water and sand (like snow)reflect the sun's rays and increase your chances of burn. You can also be vulnerable on a boatdeck or at poolside, so prepare before you venture into that burning summer sun.
Planning an outdoor picnic or barbecue over the upcoming weekend? Keep those pesky biters away by using natural methods. Throw a bit of Sage or Rosemary on the coals, and it will repel mosquitoes (it smells terrific too)! Don't forget your skin: Avoid the midday sun. Wear a wide-brimmed hat, insect repellent, sunglasses, protective clothing and sunscreen (generously apply UVA-UVB with SPF 15 or higher) thirty minutes before going outside and again every two hours. Enjoy the holiday (without scratching).
Appreciating beauty can be a powerful antidote to stress. Research says that when we experience something beautiful, the pleasure and reward center in our brain is stimulated, increasing our good feelings and reducing fear and anxiety. The positivity even brings changes to our physical self. Our eyes widen, our heart rate slows down, and we are more able to settle down and appreciate the present moment; and when in this moment, we can use these powerful, pleasurable feelings to fight back stress and initiate important changes in our life. This coming week, enhance your appreciation of beaufy. Find something beautiful in your home or on your way to work - an art object, flowers or trees, cloud formations (whatever you find beautiful) - and focus on it. For a few moments, see how much detail you can take in - color, sounds, shape, tone, texture. Savor your feelings from the experience, and then try to recall those warm feelings when you need a mental pickup during the week (or any time).
Fighting The Ageing Process?
Stop Eating So Much!
Scientists who have studied longevity have learned lessons from the longest-living people, say one of the best secrets for Staying Young is to Eat Less. Okinawa, Japan is home to some of the world's oldest people - centenarians who traditionally stop eating when they're eighty percent full. They are onto something: Scientists at St. Louis University found that while both exercising and eating less not only leads to healthy weight loss, cutting calories also lowers production of a thyroid hormone that may also slow the ageing process. The lesson? Count calories, and keep your weight in check.
Need help? Talk to your doctor about diet and herbal therapy - Garcinia - often praised as a natural way to lose weight by helping to suppress appetite, decrease the rate of dietary carbohydrate conversion into fat and cholesterol, increase metabolism (helping to burn fat), and elevate the production of body heat (which may also increase caloric burning).
Researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh found that being around people can help your mental and physical health - and those who have more social ties were less susceptible to the cold virus than those with fewer connections. Further research has found that women with more social support are less likely to be depressed. All good reasons to nurture our friendships.
Excessive heat exposure kills: Extreme heat can cause serious health problems like exhaustion, heat stroke, cramps, sunburn and rashes. Begin this week by taking special precautions to avoid heat-related illnesses now that the summer is approaching. Be sure to drink more fluids (water); avoid alcoholic and sugary drinks; wear lightweight, light colored and loosely-fitting clothing; limit outdoor activity to the morning or evening, and aim for a shady spot. Stay in an air-conditioned environment during extreme afternoon temperatures if possible, and keep cool and hydrated - and keep healthy.
Strong bones are essential to good health, and adequate Calcium and Vitamin D (necessary for calcium absorption) - and physical activity are essential for strong bones.
Calcium is needed throughout life, particularly during peak bone-building years and to reduce the risk of brittle bones later in life. Good sources of calcium include dairy products (low-fat or non-fat milk, cheese and yogurt), dark green leafy vegetables (broccoli), nuts (almonds) and calcium-fortified foods (soy beverages, orange juice, cereals, whole-grain breads).
If you don't get enough calcium from your diet, consider taking supplemental
Coral Calcium, and don't forget the Vitamin D and Exercise.
Fitness advisors tell us that a healthy outdoor activity program provides safe, fun activities for you and your family. You can explore parks, trails, gardens, rivers and much more in very pleasant surroundings. Outdoor activities like walking, hiking, cycling, kite flying and paddling are fun and good for your health as well! Physical benefits of outdoor exercise: Improves your immune system. Reduces your risk for a variety of diseases such as heart disease, diabetes and high blood pressure. Helps you lose weight and protects against weight gain. Reduces the risk for childhood obesity and "nature deficit" disorder. Mental health benefits of outdoor exercise: Boosts your mood and self-esteem. Reduces stress. Reduces your risk for depression. Sound Good? Start this coming weekend. It's exercise the easy and fun way.
Whether it's rock, classical, opera or hip-hop, we all know how music can shift our moods. Recently, scientists have been exploring how music can even be used as a form of medicine - reducing chronic pain and relieving depression and anxiety. Be aware of how music personally affects you, and take note of how certain pieces make you feel calmer, happier or more energetic. As you become more familiar with your own personal music-mind-body connection, you can list your own "go to music" prescription whenever the need arises. Start your own new week off with music that makes you happy. Then re-listen during the week whenever you need a refresh.
Poor posture is an important
factor in head pain, and one of the leading posture pitfalls is forward head posture (FHP). When your neck juts forward, you have to tilt your head up to see, and that can compress the nerves and muscles at the base of the skull. A common cause of FHP: slumping in front of a computer. Follow a few hints to help you get your head on straight: Imagine a cord attached to the top of your head, pulling toward the ceiling. Periodically check to make sure your ear is in line with your shoulder. Set your computer to remind you every half hour to repeat the first two tips. Look at natural botanical help with Feverfew. It has been found to be effective for headache relief and also in preventing migraines.
To achieve long-term goals, you must also have short-term goals: steps in your health journey that will lead to success.
Each time you reach a milestone, set another and strive to reach it. These smaller goals can help you build the strength, know-how and willpower you need to achieve permanent lifestyle change. Smaller steps also give you a feeling of achievement when you reach another step and taste the victory. This week take a look at your target and consider what smaller steps you are taking to achieve it. Set a new diet or fitness goal that seems just out of reach, and use it to stay focused. Remember:There is no giant step that does it; it's always a lot of little steps.
Stroke and coronary heart disease are two distinct conditions, BUT they have more in common than we think. When oxygen-rich blood fails to reach the heart or brain through damaged arteries, atherosclerosis, a buildup of fats, cholesterol and other substances in and on your artery walls (plaques), cause trouble for the heart and brain. Although often considered a heart problem, atherosclerosis can affect arteries anywhere in the body; it is the leading cause of heart attacks, stroke and peripheral vascular disease and among the five leading causes of death for American women. Stroke and heart disease share risk factors that contribute to atherosclerosis, so it's Time To LOWER CHOLESTEROL and BLOOD PRESSURE, STOP SMOKING and LOSE WEIGHT. Talk to your doctor about plant-based botanical therapy with Hawthorne Leaf to fight both risks.
DON'T LET ANXIETY EAT AWAY AT YOU - EAT AWAY YOUR ANXIETY Stress is a part of life, but your diet can help you make it a much smaller part of YOUR life. A high-nutrient diet can give you increased energy and a productive mindset to effectively handle stress. Loading up on complex carbs like green veggies and whole-grain cereals and breads will increase production of important serotonin levels in the brain where it contributes to mood balance, wellbeing and happiness - and less anxiety (serotonin deficit leads to depression). Eat foods like oranges, kiwis and green peppers (loaded with vitamin C) to build immunity and Omega-Fatty Acids in salmon, nuts and seeds (to lower blood pressure) and ask the doctor about Griffonia Seed to support increased brain serotonin levels and reduced anxiety. Add a little exercise to the mix, and you're on your way to a natural improvement in your mood and a brighter outlook (better sleep too) FITNESS ON THE FLY ~ No gym membership or fancy fitness equipment at home? No problem! Canned goods make great hand weights, or you can fill milk jugs with sand for some serious lifting. You can also make use of a step stool for step training, or try a beach towel as a stretching assistant. Don't forget your own stairway for several ups and downs. Now try some of your home-made alternative fitness equipment this week. Have fun with your usual workout, or shake it up by using items around your house to try something new (your chance to be creative while improving fitness and having a lot of fun).
You may notice sleep's benefits most, only when you miss them; that is, when you need them. Sleep deprivation has been known to cause 100,000 US auto accidents annually, in addition to depression, heart disease, diabetes and obesity. If stress, health problems and annoying interruptions thwart a good night's sleep, try maintaining regular bedtime hours (even weekends), limit caffeine and alcohol, take a pleasant stroll under the stars before bedtime. Then engage in a soothing activity before bedtime: pray or meditate or enjoy a favorite book, and if you crave a hot drink in the evening, sip a soothing, naturally-caffeine-free herbal tea like (Chamomile). Next, turn off all technology, TV, radio, noise, and all the lights. Lastly, Now it's time to enjoy sweet dreams.
Salads Are Always In Season
Nutritionists at Lehigh Valley Health Network offer these tips for creating winning salads every time: Fill your plate with darker greens like spinach, romaine, kale, arugula, dandelion greens and Swiss chard; they contain more vitamins and minerals than iceberg. Add lots of color (tomato, carrot, green or red bell pepper, radish). Vegetables (and fruits) are packed with the nutrients your body needs to stay healthy. Add a serving of lean protein such as chicken, turkey or beans of any kind. Top it off with healthy fats found in avocados, nuts, seeds (flaxseeds are particularly healthy), olive oil, olives and fish (tuna, cold salmon). So Delicious ~ So Healthy So Nutritious! ~
When your body is stressed, it releases adrenaline, which increases your heart, breathing and blood pressure rates. A faster heart rate and higher blood pressure make your heart work harder and can weaken artery walls if these symptoms persist over time. Thus, chronic stress can increase risk for heart disease (leading cause of death in America). This week, observe your stress levels and what triggers them, as well as your heart disease risk factors. If you often exhibit Type-A behaviors (feeling rushed, impatient, irritated, angry or hostile), focus on reducing the frequency of these behaviors to stay heart healthy! Sometimes herbs can help: Look at one of nature's best natural stress relievers - VALERIAN ROOT - to help support improved cardiac health and lower blood pressure (particularly when anxiety is a factor), as well as helping to relieve nervous exhaustion, anxiety and stress.
Don't Just Sit There:
Get Up, Get Moving ~ GET OUT!
For a quick overall health boost, leave your fluorescent-lit office or busy home and Venture Into The Great Outdoors. Many medical and university studies tell of the link between time spent outdoors and better health. The findings include quicker healing times, decreased stress levels and depression, and reduced need for pain meds. If you find yourself losing motivation in your daily routines, a brisk walk outside can help you feel refreshed and focused. Look beyond your walls to discover the health benefits (and fun) of being outdoors.
Scientists from West Virginia's Jesuit University have found that the scent of Peppermint or Cinnamon in your car might make you more alert when behind the wheel. Their study found that drivers demonstrated decreased levels of frustration, anxiety and fatigue when exposed to the two fragrances - and they were also more observant. Previous research had indicated that Peppermint and Cinnamon aromas helped to enhance motivation, alertness and performance, as well as decrease fatigue and serve as central nervous system stimulants - all of which may be helpful when associated with prolonged driving.
Did You Know? GARLIC is not only one of the healthiest foods we can eat, but Garlic is also a natural antibiotic - without the harmful and deleterious effects of the drugs that kill all bacteria (both bad and good) within the body, and we need those good bacteria to support our immune systems and fight disease. We already know Garlic is also great in the kitchen too. Make sure you add Garlic to your diet.
Put The FUN Back Into EXERCISE
Find activities you enjoy, and aim for thirty minutes a day of "exercise" on most days of the week. Daily housework, gardening, using the stairs, washing windows, carrying the groceries, walking at the mall or riding bikes with the kids all add up to active exercise that benefits your heart. Tip: Increase your activity by parking your car at the end of the lot or walking the local shops or post office. They all count as real exercise without even thinking of it as a formal "workout" regimen.
Situations and events that are distressing for many, might not bother you in the least. Or, on the contrary, you may be sensitive to even minor stressors. The first step in managing stress is identifying your triggers. Knowing when, where and why your stress occurs - along with your stress symptoms and how you cope - can help you reduce exposure or come up with successful strategies to alleviate the issue. This week, start a "Stress Journal." At week's end, reread your entries to identify common themes to your stress, and then brainstorm some solutions (exercise, visiting a good friend, volunteering, watching a funny movie, enjoying or starting a hobby?), and come up with ideas that make you smile, and take time to do it. Need extra help? Think about soothing, gentle herbs like Chamomile or
Passion Flower for frayed nerves or poor sleep.
Macular degeneration is the main cause of severe vision loss as we get older. Here are six prevention tips from New Jersey's Warren Hospital: Don't Smoke ~ Wear Sunglasses ~ Eat Kale, Nuts, Spinach and Fish with Omega-3 Fatty Acids ~ Exercise ~ Keep Weight Down to avoid diabetes. Check out some eye-healthy botanicals too: Bilberry, Eyebright and Carrots are great for our eyes. Okay? Now...Here's Looking AT YOU!
Even for people with no particular vocal cord ailments or speech problems, overuse can have adverse effects. Here are a few tips to help preserve your voice: Drink plenty of water ~ Don't talk for long periods of time without a break (difficult for people in communications) ~ Avoid secondhand smoke ~ Breathe through your nose ~ Do not yell - or whisper (both strain the voice) ~ Don't talk through a cold (try to rest your voice). Lozenges with honey and lemon can be soothing, and the herb, Butterbur, helps soothe sore throat inflammation and ease laryngitis, hoarseness, tracheitis and smoker's cough.
Eat Those Fruits and Veggies.
A nine-year study from 2009 with 452,755 participants found that increased intake of fruit and vegetables may reduce the risk of colorectal cancer by as much as twenty-five percent! That large European study from the Dutch National Institute for Public Health revealed that the highest average intakes of fruit and vegetables were associated with a fourteen percent reduction in colorectal cancer risk, and a twenty-five percent reduction in the risk of colon cancer. Now, a 2016 study also found that antioxidant-rich COFFEE intake can help decrease colorectal cancer risk. Looks like MOTHER EARTH provides rich botanical nutrition to help us stay healthy, and...YOUR MOTHER AGREES!
When Stress is a DOWNER,
Pick UP Your Spirits ~
Try Proven Stress Beating Strategies: Socialize: Seeing friends, relatives and staying connected is paramount. Exercise regularly: It reduces anxiety, releases tension and spurs the brain to produce brain chemicals that create a sense of well-being (try for 30 to 60 minutes, three times weekly). Eat a healthy, balanced diet(lots of fruits and veggies). Let it all out: If you're sad, cry; if you're happy, laugh heartily; if you're angry, get mad. Don't hold in your emotions. Practice slow, deep breaths: Shallow breathing seems to send stress signals to the brain; deep, slow breathing soothes. Try something new like yoga or meditation; if you don't like it, try something else. Enjoy hobbies or activities that you love: Make time daily and weekly for reading, playing music, dancing, gardening, visiting friends, swimming, going to concerts, museums, picnics or walks - for fun and stress relief. Look into some natural help with gentle
Lady's Slipper or Chamomile. After all, we deserve to be happy.
Slippery Elm Bark soothes and reduces inflammation of the gastrointestinal tract. Its high mucilage content soothes the inflamed mucous membranes of the stomach and neutralizes excess acids in the intestines. As a bowel lubricant it can be beneficial for Crohn's disease, ulcerative colitis, diverticulosis, diverticulitis and irritable bowel syndrome IBS). It has also been used to ease both constipation and chronic diarrhea. No more distress - only a soothed gastrointestinal tract!
Dental experts say people's teeth are eroding with a loss of protective enamel at a faster rate than ever. Dental erosion occurs when enamel is worn away by acids in the mouth, leaving teeth sensitive, cracked and discolored. Dentists blame soft drinks, sports drinks and fruit juices with high amounts of acid, but sugar in most of those drinks also plays a role, because bacterial plaque on teeth absorbs sugar from drinks and foods and excretes an acid that eats away at tooth enamel. In soft drinks (especially colas), one of the main flavoring agents is phosphoric acid; and people often make the situation worse by holding the drink in the mouth to enjoy the flavor or fizzing - increasing exposure to the drink's acids and sugars. Consider a new drink regimen: Water is good for the whole body, Green Tea is actually good for teeth, and unsalted veggie juices are loaded with nourishment and very satisfying. After all, having NO teeth can make that smiling face a very sad one, indeed. Thank about that!
CALLING ALL OUTDOOR LOVERS: LYME DIDEASE is a bacterial infection that is characterized by a bull's eye rash and flu symptoms (headache, fever, nausea), and the best way to avoid the disease (which can cause serious complications) is to avoid tick bites. Wear light-colored hat, shoes, socks tucked into long trousers when in heavy woods or tall grasses. Put clothes worn into a hot dryer for twenty minutes before washing to kill ticks attached to fabrics. After being out, check your body, scalp, hind ears and knees for ticks. If you find one, remove it with tweezers (grabbing close to skin and slowly lifting straight up). Save the tick and take to your doctor to check if the insect is infected. Antibiotics have been known to treat most cases of Lyme disease if detected and treated. Think about preventive care with anti-tick repellent or Cat's Claw, a fine plant-based antibacterial that has shown an ability to combat bacterial infection with immune-stimulant effects to help fight Lyme disease invasion.
Consuming Trans Fat significantly increases risk of cardiovascular disease by raising LDL (bad) cholesterol and decreasing HDL (good) cholesterol. Trans Fat foods also increase belly fat, a sign of metabolic syndrome. Some food labels proclaim "0 grams Trans Fat" but still list hydrogenated oils in the ingredients. If a food lists "partially hydrogenated" or "fully hydrogenated" oils in its ingredients, then it definitely contains Trans Fats, despite the "0 grams trans fat" claim. How come? FDA rules state that when a product contains less than 0.5 grams of Trans Fat per serving, the number on the nutrition label can be rounded down to zero, but this doesn't make the product free of Trans Fat. That half gram per serving is still there. Avoid Trans Fat altogether. It most commonly hides in cookies, crackers, microwave popcorn, margarine and other processed foods. Even if you see 0 grams Trans Fat, check the ingredients for partiallyhydrogenated or hydrogenated oils. If they're listed, do not eat this food - it has Trans Fat.
The American diet, especially what you fellas refer to as "man food" (red meat, high-fats and few fruits and vegetables) dramatically increase risk for prostate problems and cancer. Studies say a preventive approach just might head off prostate trouble, and lifestyle changes and regularly consuming certain foods, herbs and other natural substances may protect or slow progress of prostate problems by targeting two bodily processes that underlie all prostate problems: oxidation and inflammation. Thus, reduce consumption of red meat, fried foods, high-fat dairy, sugar and simple starches (white flour, etc.), and eat more fresh fruits, vegetables and healthy supplements. Selenium and vitamin E may reduce risk, and Lycopene from
Tomato is another antioxidant associated with low risk. In Asia, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant,
Green Tea might be a clue to their low prostate cancer rates, and old-reliable Saw Palmetto supports good prostate health, especially prostate enlargement.
When there are a million things to do every day, and our schedules feel too packed to fit in a one- or two-hour exercise workout, it seems impossible to get it all done. Luckily, we don't have to work out for an hour straight for results. Small bits of exercise throughout the day can add up to a big difference - and it may actually be better for our health to be physically active throughout the day - as opposed to doing it all at once - since researchers found that sitting all day long can cancel out some of the benefits we get from exercising. The message is clear: Small bits of exercise throughout the day can add up to big, better benefits.
Writing in the journal, Nutrition, scientists claim that fat-free milk could relieve constipation. While full-fat milk consumption may lead to constipation, as unabsorbed fatty acids left in the intestines bind to calcium in the intestinal channel, the new research suggests that drinking fat-free milk may have the opposite effect, actually helping to relieve constipation and irregularity problems. In the study, fat-free milk supplementation resulted in an increase in regularity and an improvement in stool softness among chronic constipation patients. Researchers also found that two peptide hormone levels that stimulate intestinal mobility (motilin and ghrelin) were increased by a statistically significant amount after fat-free milk consumption and may play a role in reducing the severity of constipation or giving total relief from the problem. Other natural help can come from botanicals like mild, and effective Psyllium husks for safe daily regularity. Read/See why.
Who Isn't?
About twenty-two percent of calories consumed by Americans come from liquids. An easy way to lose weight and save hundreds of calories a day if you are currently getting many of your calories from liquids is to switch to water or teas or calorie-free sodas. Here's how: Every day switch one drink that has calories with one that doesn't. If you drink three sodas a day, make one iced tea on the first day. If you drink orange juice each morning, switch to hot tea or water with lemon. Keep making these switches until you are drinking no calories. Try this for one week. You may reduce your daily calories without even changing anything that you eat. Here's another tip: It takes at least twenty minutes after eating for your stomach to tell your brain that it is full, but most of us finish a meal in ten minutes. Give your stomach time to catch up to your brain by slowing down your eating, and fill your plate with salads with olive oil or low calorie/fat free dressings and lots of colorful vegetables. After putting food in your mouth, put your fork on the table and let go. Do not touch the fork until your mouth is empty. Repeat through the entire meal and savor each mouthful and the taste. Need help? Think about natural herbals like Magnolia Bark that is said to inhibit the body's cortisol production (substance that encourages fat storage) and may be effective in weight loss programs.
Natural PainkillersTHAT WORK!
Every day, more than thirty million Americans take NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) like ibuprofen, aspirin and naproxen for everything from headaches to sport injuries to back pain, Though these drugs stop the pain, they also bring along unsettling side effects. The more you use them, the more you raise your risk for ulcers, high blood pressure, strokes, heart attack and kidney damage. No need to grin and bear it though: Nature has provided an array of gentle remedies that soothe pain effectively. Instead, check out Boswellia; It is a particularly effective anti-inflammatory and used to relieve joint pain and improve mobility; and new research confirms its efficacy for relieving the aches and pains of rheumatism, arthritis and osteoarthritis of the knee.
FRIENDS are KEY...at ANY AGE
We already know that exercise and a healthy diet help you live longer, but did you know that friendships do too? Studies show that friends boost your immune system, ease stress and help prevent depression. According to doctors at Lehigh Valley Health Network, humans need connections, and our friends make us feel good about who we are. While old friends may be especially dear, it's vital to also add new ones; friendships naturally come and go in life. If your circle is too small, seek out people with common interests: Join that book club, gym, swim or dance class, political club or support group. Making friends takes time, but this is really worth the investment that truly pays off.
A nice cold beer is not only refreshing; it may also help strengthen bones. A report from the International Journal of Endocrinology noted that HOPS and BARLEY-rich beer are a good source of the mineral silicon - so important for bone formation and health. Read about these healthy botanicals - with all the benefits - but without that beer.
Do you know what's causing it? Hint: It's not only the Pollen count. There are a number of reasons, but one major cause is Stress (work, family, financial problems or just from life in general), and our Hormones (think cortisol) released in times of stress can trigger an immune response that results in chronic inflammation and allergies. Good news: Doing yoga and popping anti-inflammatory foods like blueberries can calm your system. Adopt an anti-inflammatory diet as your first step during allergy season (on its way right now). If you eat inflammatory foods (wheat, milk, eggs, saturated fats, processed foods, heavily refined carbohydrates, peanuts), your seasonal allergies will be much worse. Instead, eat lots of fruits, veggies and whole (gluten-free) grains. And ask your doctor about helpful natural herbals too, like Eyebright or Mullein Leaf. Consider all the above for real relief; alergy season is right around the corner. Be prepared!!!
If you thought Lemon Balm is related to lemons or a member of the citrus family, think again! It is a member of the mint family. The name, Lemon, describes the plant's glorious fragrance when the leaves are bruised, and it has been used for thousands of years as an effective calmative for all kinds of nervous problems, including tension headaches, migraines, neuralgia, tension, stress, anxiety, excitability and heart palpations (caused by anxiety). Known as "The Calming Herb," it is used to relax muscle tension without daytime drowsiness.
When trying to develop healthier eating habits, avoid tempting situations that may influence you to fall into old or new unhealthy habits. For example, if you're prone to buying excessive amounts of junk foods or snacks at the grocery store, avoid aisles that display these foods. You'll have a better chance of success in breaking a bad habit if you have a new (workable, realistic) good habit to replace it.
Lower Osteoporosis Risk?
Prevent Falls !!
Avoiding fractures is key to keeping bones healthy, whether you have bone loss or not. To prevent a fall that could cause a fracture, minimize clutter and be sure that area rugs are anchored to the floor. Eliminate throw rugs and loose cords. Wearing sturdy, rubber-soled shoes also can reduce the risk of falling. To help keep your bones strong, eat lots of green vegetables like Spinach, drink calcium-rich non-fat milk and boost low calcium intake to recommended levels by exercising regularly. We need calcium every day. Coral Calcium is a wonderful way to provide the vital mineral that is necessary for strong bones.
Did you know that pungent, strong-smelling Onion is a cousin of the beautiful sweet-smelling and fragrant lily? Onion may not smell like a flower, but it is a powerhouse of health benefits and does help protect us against infection of all kinds, build the immune system and support healthy cholesterol and blood sugar levels. The ancient Egyptians must have known about these health benefits; they worshipped the Onion as the symbol of "Eternal Life."
"F" - as in FAT ~
Obesity rates are climbing and are a huge U.S.A. public health challenge. Even worse, research shows nearly one-third of children and teens are obese or overweight. Currently, more than twelve million children and adolescents are considered obese - a very serious problem - and there is only one way to lose weight - a simple mathematical formula: We must burn more calories than we eat, so it's time to Count Calories. Skip fast/junk food stops and soft drinks. Prepare healthy meals at home, and make it mostly veggies and fruits, plus whole grains (not too much), non-fat dairy, healthy oils, skinless poultry breasts, fish with important Omega-3 Fatty Acids; and minimize animal fat from meat (95% lean). Time to get the kids away from the TV and computers and outside for exercise (and fun). Time for the family to sit down together and talk, eat slowly and eat healthy (let the kids participate in healthy food preparation and be creative with colorful foods). Adults, if you need extra help, talk to your doctor about a sensible weight loss regimen and natural therapy with herbs like White Kidney Bean or Garcinia or Magnolia Bark.
Swearing off your favorite food can sometimes backfire. You end up eating other high calorie foods to satisfy your craving and continue even when you are not satisfied or even hungry. Instead, give in to temptation, BUT with a small portion that fits your weekly calorie budget - and then, eat it slowly, savoring the taste, enjoying the moment, and your special treat.
We may think that the "No Smoking" message is loud and clear to kids, but this is not the case. Sadly, every year, thousands of youngsters take up the smoking habit, so the "No-Smoking" message needs to be sent consistently from multiple people. Whether you are a parent, teacher, aunt, uncle, grandparent or health care provider, take time to figure out how you can help young people get the "No Smoking" message - before It's Too Late - before "Trying It" becomes The Deadly Smoking Habit. Interestingly, for those who wish to stop smoking, it is said that Plantain can help "Quit The Habit" by including it in a gargle.
Begin each new week by thinking of Monday as your new start for healthy living. Stay within the (general) recommended daily 2000 calorie limit by snacking on fruits, vegetables and low-fat cheese and non-fat yogurt. Drink lots of water (with lemon wedge) with (and between) all meals (try for eight, eight-ounce glasses daily). This week, determine to read and compare nutrition labels before each meal. And don't be fooled by a low calorie count at the top! Look at serving size and number of servings per package and multiply for a true reading of what is in the package (same for salt content).
Scientists from Wheeling, West Virginia's Jesuit University have found that the scent of Peppermint Leaf or Cinnamon in your car can make you more alert when behind the wheel. Their study found that drivers demonstrated decreased levels of frustration, anxiety and fatigue when exposed to the two fragrances, and they were also more observant. Previous research had indicated that Peppermint and Cinnamon aromas helped to enhance motivation, performance and alertness, as well as decrease fatigue and serve as central nervous system stimulants - all of which may be helpful when associated with prolonged driving. Imagine! Some driving help in-between those coffee stops!
Longer Life? LET'S GO!
A recent study found that only fifteen minutes of daily exercise led to a three-year longer life expectancy. Also, every fifteen minutes of exercise increased that benefit, but even that fifteen minutes of activity was shown to make a significant difference. You don't need a fancy gym or special equipment, because there are so many easy ways for you to get in those fifteen minutes: a brisk walk, lively dancing, aerobics in place. Fifteen minutes is a small price to pay for such a big reward. Start today - and remember your fifteen minutes every day. After all, so little can mean so much and make a big difference.
Be NATURALLY Sweet ~
Science tells us that artificially sweetened "diet" foods and beverages tend to trigger appetite, increase cravings for empty-calorie carbohydrates and stimulate fat storage. Opt out, or go for healthy natural sweeteners like honey, real maple syrup or plant-based Stevia Leaf. It's used as a table-top sweetener, in soft drinks, baked goods, fruit juices, jams, jellies, candies, yogurts, chewing gum, sherbets and more.
Several studies have found that people who ate protein-rich eggs, instead of a bagel for breakfast lost 65 percent more weight and had a 34 percent greater reduction in waist circumference. Protein can help us lose weight (especially belly fat), and increase muscle mass and strength. Try to include other high protein foods or supplements in your diet, i.e., Chlorella, Oat Straw, Broccoli and Pumpkin Seed to name only a few.
Did you know that one in every ten adults suffers from some level of depression, according to CDC (Centers for Disease Control)? There are meds, but many often carry brutal side effects like lethargy or worse, but there are also readily-available natural botanical solutions. Saint John's Wort is a popular natural calming herbal supplement and mood enhancer that helps banish the blues, manage stress, anxiety and mood swings.
If you are gaining weight for no discernible reason, it could be a faulty thyroid gland (located in your neck). Thyroid disease can slow metabolism, which leads to weight gain. Check with the doctor if any swelling in the neck, a visibly enlarged neck, discomfort with turtlenecks or neckties, difficulty swallowing or a hoarse, raspy voice can all be signs of thyroid disease. There are helpful meds, but be sure to ask your doctor about natural therapy with iodine-rich seaweeds like Kelp and Bladderwrack; they can be very helpful for thyroid problems and slow metabolism.
U.S.D.A. reports tell us that people with Type-2 diabetes who consume just a pinch or light sprinkle (one gram) of Cinnamon daily can experience a drop in blood sugar. The research shows that extracts of Cinnamon increase insulin activity, enhancing the breakdown of glucose and improving blood sugar concentrations. Enjoy your Cinnamon: Sprinkle powdered Cinnamon on your morning cereal, in your coffee or dusted on your yogurt.
Test Before Smearing ~
Before you use skin ointments or topical creams (including hair products), check them out to see if you're allergic: Apply a small amount to your elbow. Wait forty-eight to seventy-two hours and then check the skin. If it is red, itchy or bumpy, you're probably reacting badly, find something else; you're allergic. Learn how to make your own herbal rinses, creams and ointments at Herbal Extracts Plus Information Herbal Preparations
WANT TO LOOK YOUNGER? Doesn't Everybody?
You may find help with Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Dermatologists often recommend this supplement to help improve skin. These essential fats - which must be obtained from the diet or supplements because our bodies cannot make them - are a key component of the lubricating layer that keeps skin supple. They also aid in the production of hormones that improve skin texture and help combat the inflammatory damage wrought by free radicals - one of the causes of wrinkles and blotchiness. You may find yourself looking younger, but (even better), you may actually start feeling better too. Eat salmon or tuna or take Omega-3 supplements to get the one great fat that is really healthy.
Exercise is Key
to a Healthy Life ~
Physical activity isn't just a way to lose weight; it's an essential step towards a long, vibrant life! Work on your fitness routine, this week. Start out with smaller amounts of exercise at lower intensities and gradually progress to moderate-intensity activity to reduce your risk of injury. And don't be intimidated. After all, hiking is just walking with a better view.
Resveratrol is the important compound found in the Red Wine Grape Skin and GrapeSeed. Research from the University of Colorado tells us that it can help fight off cancer by killing damaged cells before they replicate. Red Wine provides the compound and so will a handful of delicious Red Grapes, supplemental Red Grape (with resveratrol extract) or a morning cup of low-sugar Red Grape Juice (100% juice). Grab Grapes for Great Grape Gorgeousness - and Health.
Hypertension and Weight
Being overweight places a strain on your heart and increases your risk of high blood pressure. That is why diets to lower blood pressure are often also designed to control calories. They typically call for cutting down on fatty foods and added sugars, while increasing fruits, vegetables, lean protein and fiber. Even losing 10 pounds can make a difference. Think about that when getting into your new year health programs. If you need extra help, check out natural help with herbs like Garcinia for supporting decreased appetite, increased metabolism (helping to burn fat) and elevated body heat for potential caloric burning).
As night falls and the moon rises, the fragrant, lemon-scented Evening Primrose blooms; but by daybreak, the flowers fade and await the new blossoms that will bloom the next evening. Native Americans used the herb as a painkiller. Modern science knows that this heavenly flower possesses the rare gamma linolenic acid (GLA) that helps dilate blood vessels and reduces blockage, thus helping to lower heart attack and stroke risk - and GLA may lower cholesterol levels and blood pressure, further reducing the risk of heart disease and stroke. Now, there's a story with a happy ending.
Try Some Important Advice From Optometrists. For Computer Users: Follow the 20-20 Rule: Every 20 minutes be sure to look 20 feet away for 20 seconds. Also, create a friendly workstation by lowering and tilting the monitor to reduce screen glare. Check light levels, blink your eyes often (important) and adjust your seat. A good diet that includes yellow and green leafy vegetables (Broccoli, Spinach, Carrot, Sweet Potatoes) - plus Omega-3 Fatty Acids (from cold water fish or
Flaxseed), nuts and seeds (Sunflower, Almonds, Walnuts) and tasty fruits (Mangoes,
Blueberry, Apricots) will all help to improve eye health and protect retinal function.
An often-overlooked strategy for preventing blood pressure is managing stress, so Learn Relaxation Techniques: Meditation, progressive muscle relaxation, guided imagery, deep breathing exercises and yoga are powerful stress-busters. Manage Time: The more efficiently you can juggle work and family demands, the lower your stress level. Get Enough Sleep: Inadequate or poor-quality sleep negatively affects mood, mental clarity, energy and physical health. Strengthen Social Ties: Connect with others by taking a class, joining an organization, seeing friends or participating in a support group. Nurture Yourself: Treat yourself to a massage. Savor an experience -for example, eat slowly and really focus on the taste and sensations of each bite. Take a walk or a nap, or listen to your favorite music. Resolve Stressful Situations: D0 NOT let them fester if you can. Hold family problem-solving sessions and use negotiation skills at home and work. Ask For Help: Don't be afraid to ask for help from your spouse, friends or a family member. If stress and anxiety persist, ask your doctor about helpful meds or natural herbs (like Chamomile or Lemon Balm) to relax. Life should be enjoyed, so enjoy every minute in good health and peace of mind.
Tired of really bad hair days? Dandruff can torment your scalp, making it itchy, irritable and excessively flaky - not to mention embarrassing. Triggers such as diet, stress, sun and wind damage, cold weather, poor health and excessive use of hair products can provoke the condition, but the true culprit may be the oil-eating fungus, malassezia. Although it also dwells on healthy heads, this fungus thrives in dandruff sufferers, feasting on the hair's oil. To combat the flakes naturally, look for shampoos that contain an antifungal and antibiotic agent or zinc, which helps regulate oil glands. Making your own herbal rinses can help too: Try some Burdock Root or Eucalyptus Leaf are great for fighting dandruff and have antibacterial, antifungal, antibiotic and antimicrobial properties. Read about them and see why.
Recent research suggests that poor oral hygiene (brushing less than twice daily) actually increases the risk of cardio-vascular disease. Brush Your Teeth with a soft-bristle brush and gently clean your teeth to avoid hurting gums. Fluoride toothpaste can help destroy oral bacteria, and frequent cleanings (if possible, right after snacks or meal) can stop buildup leading to gum disease. Don't Forget To Floss. It's one of the most important things we can do to keep teeth healthy. Floss is the only thing that reaches below the gum line. Bacteria build up in the pocket between the tooth and gum line, causing inflammation, tissue damage and bone loss. Worse, it can spread to the bloodstream and through the body. Try some Green Tea: it's also rich in fluoride and may help reduce tooth decay. Too many people mistreat their teeth and ignore the decay and disease warning signs until too late. A little prevention is worth a pound of cure - especially when the alternative is growing old without any teeth at all. Take the time to brush your teeth. Your teeth (and your heart) will thank you for it!
Save the bags only for your groceries, handbags or trash - BUT not under eyes - SO Banish Them: Put Down That Salt Shaker: Water finds its way from body areas low in sodium to those with the most (eye area). Manage Allergies: Allergy season and watery, puffy eyes go hand-in-hand, but some over-the-counter allergy, cold or sinus infection medicines and herbs like Eyebright can dry puffy eyes. Try a Neti Pot: It looks like a small teapot, and you pour salt water into one nostril at a time and let it drain out the other to help flush out all extra moisture in your sinuses. Sleep On Your Back: Gravity causes fluid to collect under eyes, so sleep on your back and add an extra pillow under your head. Remove Eye Makeup: Sleeping with eye makeup on can make your eyes water and cause morning-after puffiness. Limit Alcohol: It pulls the water out of your skin, and once you weaken the delicate area around the eyes, it's more likely to sink into a pouch.
But Maybe A Lot Healthier
Did you know that the stronger the smell of Onions, the more potent and effective their healing powers are thought to be?...and did you know that the ancient Egyptians worshipped the Onion as the symbol of "Eternal Life?" Today we do know that Onion is one of nature's best natural immunity supports that helps protect against infection of all kinds. As a powerful natural antibiotic and antiseptic, it is a wonderful way to strengthen the body's natural defenses against common colds, flu, sore throat, bronchial and gastric infections; and happily Onion can be found in no=tears supplements. Can't promise the perfume, tho!
Traveling can be very stressful, so your immune system may not be at its best. Furthermore, when traveling, you are exposed to germs that can be very different and from those you are used to. To stay healthy during your trip, why not try some Echinacea a week before you leave, and continue taking it while you are away from home. Studies tell us it can be helpful for supporting a stronger immune system to fend off colds and other unwanted germs that you'd rather not bring back as souvenirs. (T-Shirts, cups and postcards are much more enjoyable -and safe.)
Research shows Blueberries to be super nutritious and may help protect the brain from the damage caused by free radicals and may also help reduce effects of age-related conditions such as Alzheimer's disease or dementia. Some scientists have actually nicknamed Blueberries "Brainberries." Do they know something? More News: Recent studies found that a Blueberry-rich diet improved learning, as well as muscle function in older subjects.
Did you know that a poor diet is considered a mind robber that can steal away bits of memory and cognition over time? It's a fact. Although researchers have not yet quantified the specific effects of a good diet on mental health, it is known that Omega-3 Fatty Acids (found in fish, fish supplements, Soy, Nuts and Flaxseed,) help provide the body with the amino acids needed for healthy cell formation and play a vital role in the production of neurotransmitters in the brain, such as serotonin and dopamine. Healthy brain cells (neurons) will perform better than unhealthy ones, thereby promoting cognitive clarity, a well-functioning memory and positive mood. While a few deep-fried Oreos won't bring down your IQ or destroy your memory, it's generally accepted that a healthy diet aids the brain in maximizing its potential. Start this weekend with a healthy food list when grocery shopping.

Atlantic Tropical Weather Outlook
000 ABNT20 KNHC 310557 TWOAT TROPICAL WEATHER OUTLOOK NWS NATIONAL HURRICANE CENTER MIAMI FL 200 AM EDT SUN JUL 31 2016 For the North Atlantic...Caribbean Sea and the Gulf of Mexico: A fast-moving tropical wave is nearing the Lesser Antilles. Although showers and thunderstorms are fairly well-organized, there are currently no signs a closed surface circulation. However, this system has the potential for some slow development during the next couple of days, but the best chance for tropical cyclone formation is likely to be by the early to middle part of next week when the wave reaches the western Caribbean Sea. This system is expected to bring locally heavy rains and gusty winds to portions of the Lesser Antilles, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico today. Shower and thunderstorm activity should spread westward across the eastern Caribbean Sea and Hispaniola by tonight and on Monday. Interests in these areas should monitor the progress of this disturbance. * Formation chance through 48 hours...medium...40 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...high...70 percent Shower and thunderstorm activity associated with a tropical wave and a low pressure system centered about 650 miles west-southwest of the Cabo Verde islands has changed little in organization. This system is moving westward at 10 to 15 mph, and development, if any, should be slow to occur due to unfavorable upper-level winds. * Formation chance through 48 hours...low...10 percent * Formation chance through 5 days...low...10 percent $$ Forecaster Stewart

Understanding your buyer persona is the centerpiece of your whole marketing strategy, and is essential for conversion success.
Katie Stow, on Jul 29, 2016
Understanding your buyer persona is the centerpiece of your whole marketing strategy, and is essential for conversion success.
For the next couple of months we'll embark upon a series of articles that will take you through ways you can work towards smart, profitable and sustainable growth for your small to medium sized business. How? By redeveloping your sales and marketing teams processes. Too often business leaders don't take the time to regularly review which sales and marketing processes need tweaking in order to deliver optimal results. We're all guilty of a 'set and forget' mentality sometimes. So let's work through this together, and see what could do with a bit of a renovation.
Emma Tetley, on Jul 7, 2016
New product development can contribute to better business growth and higher lead generation. If your business can effectively utilise the data you've collected from your customers to create a stronger relationship with them, it's a strategy worth considering. Ready to know more?
If growth within your market sector is dwindling and you feel like you have exhausted your pool of potential customers, perhaps it is time to look at expanding your horizons. To do this, you need to find and sell to a totally new set of buyers who currently know absolutely nothing about you. This can only be achieved through a rock solid marketing strategy that revolves around clever market research.

There is big opportunity for growth next financial year. If you're serious about it than it's time to rethink your b2b marketing strategies. According to the Australian government's 2016-2017 federal budget, Australia is growing faster than all major advanced economies and well above the OECD average. The economy is forecast to grow by two and half percent in 2016-17 and three percent in 2017-18. Cutting taxes for small and medium size enterprises, support for new start-up businesses and opening up export opportunities are just some of the proposed items in the national plan to transition the economy from the mining boom to a stronger, more diversified nation. In the business world, B2B marketing strategies work in similar fashion - and there's a number of different approaches you can take to reach your goals. Over the next four weeks, we will be discussing H. Igor Ansoff's four marketing strategies (market penetration, product development, market development and diversification) and how you can apply these concepts to help you evaluate and determine the next stages your company must take in order to grow.
In B2B selling a sales rep may not meet a prospect face to face until they are well into the later stages of their buyer's journey. So when it comes to the crunch, the sales rep needs to be able to identify straight away what type of buyer role the prospect has taken up, and cater communication to their specific concerns. In this SlideShare we explain how a sales rep can get their deal across the line by exploring the top four buyer roles and what's important to them.

Last week we covered the first cycle in the Growth Driven Design continuous improvement approach which revolved around planning out what action items you were going to implement into your launch pad website. This week we're going to explore the remaining three cycles of this website design approach. These include developing (making the changes live on your website), learning (reviewing the performance of those changes) and transferring (sharing impactful information you've learned to other departments). Let's dive in, shall we?
Whether you're designing your first website, or just not seeing the results promised by your current website – Growth Driven Design (GDD) has the answers you are looking for. If you've just joined us, we are in our 6th week discussing this innovative, new website design concept, so be sure to check out the introduction to GDD, problems with the traditional website design process, GDD's three foundational pillars, what's involved in Phase 1 planning, and the importance of wish lists. In this week's blog, we discuss what you need to do once you've launched your launch pad website and how you will start your ongoing cycles to continuously trial, learn and evolve your website.

The invention relates to a therapeutic aerosol device in which an aerosol generated in a nebulising device is supplied through a nosepiece to a patient's naval cavities in the form of a main aerosol flow.
Known in this context from "Ability of Aerosols to Penetrate Paranasal Sinuses" H. Kauff. Archive. klin. Exper. Ohren-,Nasen- and Kehlkopfheilk. 190, 95-108 (1968) is that pressure fluctuations and vibrations can cause aerosols to penetrate the paranasal sinuses through which the main aerosol flow through the nasal cavities does not actively flow. An example of the application of these findings is known from EP 0 507 707 A1. According to this, an aerosol flow is superimposed with pressure fluctuations which are intended to cause the aerosol particles/droplets in the main aerosol flow to pass through the ostia and enter the paranasal sinuses.
In this way, although the main aerosol flow does not directly flow through the paranasal sinuses, they can be reached and treated by a drug administered in aerosol form. As with other types of aerosol therapy, it is attempted to deposit sufficient quantities of the drug at the desired points, for which in the case of the paranasal sinuses a sufficient quantity of the aerosol in the main aerosol flow must pass through the ostia and penetrate the paranasal sinuses.
Experimental investigations on different models of human nose have demonstrated that when known therapeutic aerosol devices are used deposition in the paranasal sinuses is less than expected and desired. The opening size of the ostia, which due to the disease is often extremely small, also has a greater influence on deposition than generally assumed.
Against this background, the object of the invention is to disclose suitable measures for increasing the deposition of an aerosol in the paranasal sinuses to enable therapeutically useful and predictable deposition in the paranasal sinuses through which there is no active flow.
This object is achieved by a therapeutic aerosol device with a) a nebuliser device including an aerosol generator to which a gaseous medium, in particular air and preferably compressed air for the generation of a main aerosol flow may be supplied from a supply device, preferably a compressed air supply device, and a pressure connection device to supply pressure fluctuations which are superimposed on the aerosol main flow, b) a nosepiece to supply the aerosol into one of the two alae of the nose of a user connected to the nebuliser device, and c) a flow resistance device at the other of the two alae of the user's nose.
The invention is based on the finding obtained in the experimental investigations that when an aerosol flow is supplied to a patient's nostril and then flows through the two nasal cavities, very surprisingly, one of the most decisive factors is the flow resistance presented to the pressure fluctuations at the other nostril. Only when there is flow resistance at the other nostril do the superimposed pressure fluctuations result in aerosol from the main aerosol flow through the nose reaching the paranasal sinuses as well and the aerosol being deposited there.
The invention will be further described with reference to examples of embodiments in the drawings. The drawings show:
In the case of aerosol therapies directed at the upper respiratory tracts, the bronchial tract and the lungs, a patient inhales the aerosol generated in this way whereby he withdraws the aerosol on inhaling through a mouthpiece attached to a connecting piece 8 on the nebulising device. Hereby, ambient air flows through an air inlet flue 9 as required into the nebulising chamber 3 when the aerosol is withdrawn from the nebulising chamber 3 during the inhalation phase.
In the case of aerosol therapies directed at the nasal cavity, the mouthpiece is replaced by a nosepiece 10 arranged at one end 10 a for attachment to the connecting piece 8 on the nebulising device 1 while the other end 10 b is designed so that it may be introduced in a nostril in a patient's nose and seal it tightly. The end 10 b preferably takes the shape of a truncated cone with an aperture angle α in a range of from 10� to 40�. Hereby, the longitudinal axis of the truncated cone is inclined in relation to the longitudinal axis of the connecting piece 8 so that, when the nebuliser is held vertically, the nosepiece may be placed simply and comfortably in the patient's nostril.
In this way, the aerosol generated in the nebuliser device is supplied to one nostril and hence one nasal cavity of the patient. The compressed air supplied to the nebuliser device for the generation of the aerosol, ensures that there is a sufficient aerosol main flow in or through the patient's nose. The main aerosol flow runs from one nostril through one nasal cavity to the other nasal cavity. This main aerosol flow is superimposed by pressure fluctuations as described in more detail below. Without further measures, the main aerosol flow emerges from the other nostril in the patient's nose when the patient, as is usual with aerosol therapies for the paranasal sinuses, seals the nasal cavities from the throat and mouth by means of the soft palate.
According to the invention, as an additional measure a flow resistance device 11 is arranged in the patient's other nostril (
The flow resistance at the patient's other nostril may be realised, for example, in the form of a stopper 11 with a small opening 11 a as shown in
In an alternative embodiment as shown in
In order to simplify the handling of the nosepiece and in particular to prevent the stopper being lost, the stopper is preferably connected to the nosepiece, as shown in
It also seems opportune to combine several flow resistance devices 11 each with a different flow resistance to form one therapeutic set and give the patient the option of changing the flow resistance devices 11 during aerosol therapy. This takes into account the changing conditions in the patient's nasal cavities during the course of the therapy and achieves a further improvement. For example, starting with a high flow resistance it is possible to change gradually to a lower flow resistance in order to adapt the therapy as the ostia expand in response to the therapy. It is also possible and advisable to adapt the flow resistance according to the type or method of administration of the drug in particular with regard to the embodiment with a filter.
The pressure fluctuations characterising the main aerosol flow may be generated in different ways. As shown in
The movement of the membrane 20 exposes the air column, which is in the pressure chamber 21 and in a hose line 26 connected to a connection piece 24 on the pressure chamber 21, to pressure fluctuations which are sent to the nebuliser device 1 to be superimposed on the main aerosol flow. For this, according to the invention a pressure connection device 25, shown in
The purpose and object of the aerosol device according to the invention is the targeted introduction of active ingredients into the hollow cavities in the area of the nose and frontal sinus. Due to anatomical reasons, these areas are poorly supplied with blood and frequently poorly ventilated and therefore active ingredients administered orally or parenterally do not reach the site of action in therapeutically efficacious concentrations. Since the access points are very small and frequently obstructed, preferably only the only drug formulations supplied to the site should be those that may be transported with aerosol droplets and have diameters of less than 10 μm and preferably approximately 2 to 5 μm. The therapeutic action may be improved by the use of surface-active and adhesive excipients in the active ingredient formulations because such excipients improve spreadability and wettability. Recommended to reduce the swelling of the mucous membrane is the application of vasoconstrictive substances before or in combination with anti-inflammatory and anti-allergenic active ingredients, for example corticoids and/or antibiotics.
It is noted that the inventive therapeutic aerosol device may be at least partially integrated into a handheld device, such as a hand held aerosol device having a manually operated supply device for generating an aerosol flow, such as a manually operated pump.
The following classes of active ingredients or substances can be applied by means of the device according to the invention:
The aforementioned substances are preferably used in the form of their usual pharmaceutical configurations or as salts, esters, isomers, stereoisomers, diastereomers, epimers, etc. with the objective in each case of obtaining a pharmaceutical form that it stable when stored. For this, formulations may be used in a wide variety of pharmaceutical forms, for example as
Also claimed as inventive is the formulation and application of the aforementioned classes of active ingredients and substances as liposomes, suspensions and emulsions in the micrometer range and preferably in the nanometer ranger with a geometric diameter of less than approximately 1 μm that are particularly suitable for transportation by small droplets. This ensures that by means of the device according to the invention these preparations are better able to penetrate the paranasal sinuses and frontal sinuses and be deposited and hence develop their action. Active ingredients that have to be used as solid formulations due to their poor storage stability in solution may be either dissolved or suspended with a suitable aqueous or non-aqueous solvent (for example glycerol, propylene glycol, polyglycols, pluronics, ethanol) or mixtures thereof shortly before application. Also claimed is a coating and encasing method to make malodorous or locally irritant substances more tolerable for application by complexation, for example with cyclodextrins. Alternatively, these active ingredients may also be bonded to polymeric excipients, for example chitosan and cellulose ether derivatives or gelatins in order to modify the absorption properties in such a way that the therapeutic effect may be intensified and the application frequency reduced. It is advantageous to use isotonic or hypertonic solutions containing soluble alkali and alkaline-earth salts (for example Emser salts, magnesium chloride, sodium hydrogen carbonate, etc.) and have a physiological pH range of 4-9.
This may be achieved by the addition of common pharmaceutical buffer substances to the active ingredient formulations. The formulations may also be provided with pharmaceutically common aroma and taste correcting agents to improve their acceptance particular as far as children are concerned.
