Gaithersburg, MD Chiropractor Dr. Greg Swistak of Active Family Chiropractic Offers Workplace Health and Wellness Presentation Series for Washington, DC-Area Employers

Gaithersburg, MD (PRWEB) October 11, 2013

Despite the ongoing debate over the Affordable Care Act and a government shutdown, Dr. Greg Swistak of Active Family Chiropractic in Gaithersburg, MD is continuing his mission to help the public learn about health and wellness in the workplace. In addition to running his busy chiropractic family practice, Dr. Swistak has been providing health- and wellness-related presentations to both private and public sector organizations around the region for the last fifteen years. “Around 1998, through discussions with my patients, I realized there was a great deal of interest in what people can do on their own to improve and protect their health” explains Dr. Swistak. “This was before Google was available to help people research these topics on their own. They had no knowledge of chiropractic medicine and few basic strategies to improve their overall health and wellness.”

Dr. Swistak has recently offered workplace presentations in Washington DC, Maryland and Virginia on topics such as “Fighting Fatigue”, “Seated Trigger Point Treatments”, and “Backpack Safety and Back Injury Prevention”. And it’s not only the employees who benefit from Dr. Swistak’s presentations. “Companies are looking for ways to educate their employees about health, because a healthier workforce can mean reduced insurance costs and improved productivity across the board. People miss fewer workdays, make fewer medical claims and generally feel better about work and their employer, especially when the employer shows they care about their employees’ well-being.”

Certain presentation topics generate sustained interest among employees, such as weight loss, pain management, and fighting fatigue. Dr. Swistak notes, “Those topics are always in demand. Ergonomics used to be a very hot topic, but it isn’t as popular any more. I believe this is because a lot of companies address ergonomics in-house, both through education and improvements in workplace design. There have been substantial improvements in that area.”

Dr. Swistak believes his on-site presentations can benefit any size company–from the smallest with 10 employees to the largest with thousands. He knows from experience that the key to a successful event is active promotion along with a genuine willingness on the part of management to allow and even encourage employees to make time during the day. “For these presentations to be as beneficial and effective as possible, there needs to be universal support and participation by management, as well as regular reminders about the upcoming events.”

About Dr. Greg Swistak and Active Family Chiropractic

Greg Swistak, D.C. is a member of the Maryland Chiropractic Association and the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. He is also a Fellow of the American Medical Acupuncture Society and a well-known lecturer on complementary and alternative medicine.

Bel Marra Health Reports on Recent Research Reveals Walnuts May Protect Against Heart Disease and Diabetes

Bel Marra Health Reports on Recent Research Reveals Walnuts May Protect Against Heart Disease and Diabetes

Toronto, ON (PRWEB) October 10, 2013

Bel Marra Health, who offers high-quality, specially formulated vitamins and nutritional supplements, reports on a recent study revealing that walnuts could help to improve the health of those suffering from metabolic syndrome and other obesity-related health problems.

As Bel Marra Health reports in its article, (http://www.belmarrahealth.com/healthy-eating-2/walnuts-could-protect-you-from-heart-disease-and-diabetes/) nuts have always been seen as one of the best sources of minerals and fatty acids on the planet. Nuts provide unsaturated fats, which help to reduce cholesterol levels. They are loaded with digestion-friendly fiber, and they contain a good deal of Vitamin E, a vitamin that helps protect against coronary artery disease and other cardiovascular disorders. Nuts truly are some of nature’s most amazing creations, and a recent study published by the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center points to another potential life-saving health benefit of these tasty morsels.

The Connecticut-based research center conducted a study among 46 adults between the ages of 30 and 75. All of the participants were overweight with BMIs greater than 25; the men had waist circumferences larger than 40 inches and the women had waists larger than 35 inches. The study group was also at risk of developing metabolic syndrome, a precursor to more serious disorders like cardiovascular disorders and diabetes.

The 46 adults were divided and assigned two different diets: the first group was assigned a diet of their own choosing that included walnuts, while the second group consumed a diet without walnuts. Those that participated in the diet containing walnuts were given no more than 56 grams of walnuts – unroasted and shelled – to consume per day. This group of adults showed a marked improvement in their endothelial function, despite their being overweight or obese. While adding the walnuts to their regular diet didn’t lead to weight loss, it did increase vasodilation in the brachial artery. It also helped to benefit their systolic blood pressure, thereby reducing their risk of cardiovascular disorder.

The lead author of the research team, Dr. David Katz, Director of the Yale-Griffin Prevention Research Center, explained that altering one’s diet completely can be challenging, which is why so many people continue with unhealthy diets to this day. However, adding just one food can be fairly easy, making it less of a challenge than completely altering one’s diet.

With the single addition of walnuts, the participants in the study improved their endothelial function and reduced their risk of heart disease and diabetes. The study reveals that making a few small changes to the diet that involves including highly nutritious food could help to improve the health of those suffering from metabolic syndrome and other obesity-related health problems, such as diabetes and cardiovascular disorders.

The purpose of adding nutrient-rich food to the diet is to satisfy the appetite and improve health, thus making it possible to remove the less nutritious food from the diet for those trying to lose weight. With further research, more appetite-satiating foods like walnuts could be found, which could provide remarkable health benefits to dieters and reduce their risk of health problems. Such a small addition to the diet proves that a few minor food modifications can make a huge difference in the health of those trying to diet and lose weight or maintain a long healthy life.

(Source: David L Katz, et al. Effects of Walnuts on Endothelial Function in Overweight Adults with Visceral Obesity: A Randomized, Controlled, Crossover Trial. Journal of the American College of Nutrition, 2012; 31 (6): 415 DOI: 10.1080/07315724.2012.10720468)

Online USA Doctors/Virtual Doctors Creates Comprehensive Female Health Plan That Prevents Premature Death in Postmenopausal Women

Online USA Doctors

Ventura, CA (PRWEB) September 20, 2013

Virtual doctors present timely and efficient health care alternative to postmenopausal women struggling with diabetes.

A recent analysis of the Women’s Health Initiative found a correlation between diabetes and premature death in postmenopausal women. Diabetes is a serious disease which is preventable and/or curable with proper medical care. OnlineUSADoctors.com provides a convenient and cost-effective alternative to traditional medical care for diabetes. The medical team at Online USA Doctors gathers a comprehensive health history of each woman requesting a doctor consultation. She is asked to completed a comprehensive, online health questionnaire created by the medical team at Online USA Doctors. The My Online USA Doctors Health Quiz compares her results with the latest medical journals on diabetes and menopause and prepares an individualized health management plan to reverse. Nationwide laboratory testing is also offered.

The analysis, published online on September 17 by the American Journal of Epidemiology, found that diabetes increases the risk of all-cause, cardiovascular and cancer death in postmenopausal women by 2 to 3 times, regardless of ethnicity. Complications from diabetes, such as hypertension, high cholesterol, and obesity, often lead to conditions like cardiovascular disease and cancer, but are preventable with routine medical care.

However, modern-day consumers are increasingly pressed by work, family, and financial commitments. These commitments make it difficult to commit to constant doctor’s appointments and medical assessments. Managing a chronic disease like diabetes requires slight monitoring, occasional lab tests, and significant lifestyle changes. These routine medical tasks often provide the support consumers need to manage their illnesses and, with proper lifestyle and nutritional counseling, eliminate them altogether.

Virtual doctors provide a solution to this problem by offering personalized medical treatment by board-certified M.D.’s for a fraction of the cost of in-person medical treatment. One of the leaders in the industry, OnlineUSADoctors.com offers comprehensive health care coverage, including proprietary alternative health supplements, emergency services, unlimited access to health care professionals via e-mail, and exclusive diagnostic tools. By providing these services, OnlineUSADoctors.com presents a solution that saves consumers the considerable time normally needed to undergo medical care and the significant sums of money that routine medical health insurance requires.

Through video or phone consultations, physicians diagnose illnesses and have the freedom to order laboratory tests, prescribe medication, or make a referral to a local physician for follow-up care when necessary. Medical doctors use tools such as the My OnlineUSADoctors Health Quiz, a cutting-edge diagnostic tool that often identifies underlying medical conditions which were missed by previous clinicians. Consumers are also entitled to unlimited e-mail access to medical doctors to answer questions and get lifestyle and medical counseling.

Through offering such comprehensive medical health insurance services, all provided by board-certified medical doctors, the annual cost of health care coverage for most consumers will be cut by an estimated minimum of ,000 per person. In addition, the flexibility of being able to schedule a consultation at a time of the consumer’s choosing adds significant value to the consumer’s bottom line. Considering the circumstances of modern-day life, virtual doctors are best positioned to offer the kind of support that postmenopausal women need to manage their diabetes.

ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION

OnlineUSADoctors.com is one of the only full-service telemedicine medical health insurance alternative platforms in the U.S., providing routine medical care to consumers at an affordable price.

Yourwellness, the gateway to living well

London, UK (PRWEB UK) 24 September 2013

Herb expert Jekka McVicar has been hired by West Sussex grower VHB to help the company in new product development and act as an ambassador to the public for its fresh herbs, Horticulture Week reported on the 10th of September 2013. According to their article “Jekka McVicar to be ‘ambassador’ for fresh herb grower,“ McVicar has already developed a guide to using fresh herbs which VHB (the UK’s largest grower of and supplier of fresh herbs to retailers) is using in its consumer marketing. McVicar commented, “I want people to feel confident and inspired to use fresh herbs at home as part of their everyday cooking – they’re not just for restaurant meals or special occasions.“ (http://www.hortweek.com/Edibles/article/1211340/Jekka-McVicar-ambassador-fresh-herb-grower/)

Yourwellness Magazine took a leaf out of McVicar’s book and reported on the health benefits of herbal tea. Yourwellness Magazine clarified, “Herbal tea is an infusion of plants, flowers or roots which are steeped in hot water to extract the health properties. A common drink found in every major culture across the globe, tea is seen as a health food for its antioxidant-rich properties and restorative qualities. Using herbal extracts for tea is an easy way of gaining the maximum benefits from a variety of plants or flowers.“ (http://www.yourwellness.com/2012/12/the-healing-benefits-of-herbal-tea/#sthash.LhLzaGYj.dpuf)

Yourwellness Magazine explained that herbal teas can be used for a variety of uses, from helping people to relax or sleep better to boosting vitality and providing vitamins. Aniseed tea, for example, can help soothe a sore throat and chamomile can aid sleep. Yourwellness Magazine noted that beginners should research the various benefits of each type of herbal tea, as some are more healthful than others. Yourwellness Magazine added that readers should consult a medical health professional before trying any new tea, as it may not be safe for pregnant women or people on certain medications.

Physician Assistant Pairs Traditional Medicine Headline with Alternate Remedies to Boost Health; Elsie Taylor Releases New Book

Dog Ear Publishing releases “Hungry for Wellness” by Elsie Taylor.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) September 05, 2013

Preventative health care is as simple as making correct dietary choices, getting regular exercise, reducing stress, getting regular rest and participating in uplifting activities. That’s the claim in this new book by author Elsie Taylor, a physician assistant and lifelong practitioner of alternative healing methods. When the body and its organs function in harmony, people can prevent disease, gain energy and reduce the chance they’ll develop a chronic illness – reducing the cost of health care.

“Hungry for Wellness” describes not only exercises and techniques to boost health but the theories behind them. Taylor details steps for weight loss, diets for specific conditions such as high cholesterol, mental health and its impact on physical health and tips for outer beauty and health such as skin care. She draws on principles supported by her mother and father, who were familiar with nature’s remedies and the properties of herbs. Taylor also promotes a spiritual component to health as part of whole-patient care for those who need healing. She reveals common myths about food – like some fats being healthy – and offers a chapter geared to vegetarians. Her practical advice – such as don’t drink with meals because it dilutes digestion – is written in terms laymen can follow with ease.

Author Elsie Taylor is long-acquainted with holistic approaches to wellness. Both her parents used herbs to treat their children’s minor illnesses. She attended nursing school full time while a single mom. Taylor attended Sanford University’s Primary Care Physician Assistant program, learning complementary and integrated theories, blending traditional Western medicine with such things as healing touch, herbal remedies and acupuncture. She has worked with cancer patients in San Francisco and as a primary care provider to public housing clinics in Minnesota.
