Hollywood, California (PRWEB) December 30, 2011

Zion Health, an industry leader in the manufacturing of natural minerals skin care and wellness products, has announced that its Kanwa Healing Detox Tea(s) along with its Whole Body Natural Detox Treatment are now available at LifeFood Organic’s health food store located on 1507 North Cahuenga Blvd. in Hollywood, California.

By offering these proven detox remedies at LifeFood Organic’s Health Food Store, Zion Health further expands its industry footprint into Hollywood’s expansive health food marketplace while enhancing the experience of Southern California shoppers, who can now benefit from natural detoxification remedies derived from clay-based ionic minerals that are known to purify the system by detoxifying harmful metals, unwanted pathogens and environmental pollutants.

“We’re very excited to be offering these comprehensive detoxification remedies at such a highly regarded health food store like LifeFood Organics, which not only shares but embraces our unwavering belief in the very real connection between natural products and overall health,” said Zion sales manager, Marie Holmes. “Shoppers in Hollywood will now be able to enjoy the clear health-related benefits that come from using a unique natural treatment that works to detoxify the system, without any harsh side effects.”

Kanwa’s Healing Detox Tea is available in mint, jasmine, green tea and chamomile. This Whole Body Natural Detox remedy works by combining the healing power of herbs with the stimulating minerals found in Zion Health’s revolutionary signature ingredient – Calcium Bentonite Montmorillonite clay or magnetic clay – to help absorb harmful bacteria, chemicals and toxins trapped in the stomach, colon and small intestines. The 57 minerals found in this unique edible clay help energize and heal the body by working together to form a natural internal cleanser that uses its negative ionic molecular charge to attract and remove damaging heavy metals and unwanted pathogens that inhabit the body, which can trigger premature aging and sickness.

LifeFood Organic offers enzyme-rich organic, vegetarian and raw food. The health food store provides its shoppers with the highest quality, whole food vitamin and mineral nutritional supplements, and chemical-free, all-natural health and beauty supplies.

What can we see inside the health store? Obviously, most of us have been to one. There are different types of people who visit the health store. A few of them are those who religiously take health supplements for body maintenance while others are just browsing of what they can get. We can never imagine how we can really benefit once we visit one. We need to protect ourselves to diseases that may strike us. So be cautious and know what suits you. World Health Organization (WHO) defines health as a condition of absolute physical, mental, and social well-being and not simply the lack of disease or infirmity.

Health is also a lifestyle. The great influence in our life is the surrounding that we are in. Like in Singapore, this country is noted for its cleanliness, so hygiene is a concern of every individual. Majority of its people are health conscious, so they are perfect examples who engage themselves into healthy lifestyle. It is a great factor to be healthy and guard you from contacting diseases. However, too much of something is not good. So if we overdo something, it won’t benefit us

Health stores provide us a wide range of health supplements to develop and improve our immune system. It’s time to differentiate a drug store from a health store. Simply, drug stores provides cure to our sickness while health stores help us to prevent to have sickness. So health stores are our shield or protector from sickness or disease

If you have the time, you will have no problem in finding a health store because these stores can be seen just around the corner. Almost all countries have their store for health, the United States, parts of Asia, Europe and Australia. The only thing that you will need when buying health products is a smile on the face and some cash at hand. But once again, reality dictates that not everyone has some time to spare. Not everyone has the luxury to turn at the corner and stop at the store. Furthermore, not all of the countries in the world have such stores available. If they happen to have them, the products are not that effective and satisfying. Here is the good news, with the technology and communication that we have today the problems stated about can be solved and addressed. On the online community there are available health stores that are able to provide their services to the world. Products can be receive by any customer in the world, has long has that customer has an address. A health store can provide a customer from around the world with solutions to unhealthy skin and nails, and solutions to the very scary heart diseases.

It is very simple to look for online health store, just by the click of a mouse you can find one. But be careful and be smart in selecting your online store because some of the online health stores are not tested. It is best to have a target country to be sure, let us take Australia as an example. It is a country that is tried and tested to be of high quality when it comes to a health store.

Hemorrhoids are amongst the most common, and often misunderstood, conditions amongst American citizens. Due to their close proximity to taboo body parts and the often-humiliating stigma associated with having them, an understanding of hemorrhoids it generally avoided until the onset of symptoms. In fact, the average person’s knowledge of hemorrhoids is so minor that the word is usually misspelled as hemroids, hemmroids, and hemoroids, rather than with its proper spelling.

Every person on the planet has hemorrhoids, as they are simply the tissue between the anus and rectum that contains blood vessels. However, they are more commonly referred to when they become inflamed or contain pooled blood due to excessive straining or tearing of the rectal wall. At onset, it is normal to have bleeding hemorrhoids, though great care should be taken to clean the anus to avoid receiving a fecal infection when blood is present in stool, and a physician should be consulted to avoid misdiagnosis of a more serious threat.

Additionally, bad diet and exercise habits, obesity, pregnancy, and hypertension can all lead to hemorrhoid growth, while using dry toilet paper and sitting for long periods can aggravate preexisting conditions. Hemorrhoid treatment varies from using natural herbal ointments and suppositories to outpatient surgery, depending on the severity of the disease.

When the hemorrhoid remains outside the anus, whether it can be manually pushed back in or not, treatment choices begin to focus on surgery. The surgical removal of a swollen hemorrhoid becomes the last line of defense as the procedure requires hospitalization in a few cases, and simpler procedures can be less costly to the patient.

While bleeding hemorrhoids are a cause for initial panic, the most commonly recognized symptom is the pain associated with a prolapsed hemorrhoid. During the periods where a hemorrhoid remains inside the sphincter, or recedes on its own, the use of topical treatments like Preparation H and ClearMed, or natural treatments like cranberry poultice, is recommended.

It is currently estimated that nearly 50% of the world’s population suffers to some degree due to hemorrhoids. Though there is evidence to suggest that sit-down toilets create a greater possibility to contract the disease compared to squat toilets, there has never been an extensive study performed to prove it. Even with the embarrassment caused by hemorrhoids, and the lack of individuals willing to discuss it, there is a multitude of options available to relieve symptoms and eventually remove the complication.

With years of experience in providing hemorrhoid treatment, Lawrence Kreger has become an authority in the field, offering his expertise to any willing to seek it. Due to the potential issues caused by bleeding hemorrhoids, and the possibility of infection, Mr. Kreger recommends contacting a physician at the first signs of blood.

Despite the physical demands of yoga, the muscle-challenging poses and the sweat-inducing movements, the yoga studio is still pretty much no-man’s land.

A recent survey found that women make up the vast majority of yoga participants (about 77 percent), even though men are some of the most famous and popular instructors today and the fact that men comprise many of the originators of the various forms of yoga.

So where are the men in the studio?  That is a question that many yoga instructors and studios are trying to answer as they try to reach out to a market that, for all intents and purposes, remains relatively untapped.

While there are many theories about why men in general seem to shy away from yoga, a few ideas seem to be pretty common.  Many experts and yoga enthusiasts point to the competitive nature in men and the belief that many men don’t find yoga challenging enough for the physical goals they wish to accomplish.  And many men flat out state that yoga isn’t “rugged” enough, despite the fact that a pose like the Side Crane requires a great deal of strength and concentration.

In a recent magazine article, instructors said that men are a bit intimidated by a yoga studio full of women and perhaps soft music and not one piece of weight lifting equipment in the place.  And if there is a male instructor, his calm, sensitive demeanor is in sharp contract to the “feel the burn” approach of a personal trainer he may be used to.  One yoga instructor said that men come to the studio looking for a challenge immediately.

Yoga experts say there are a number of reasons why many men have come to consider yoga a woman’s conditioning program, beginning with the arrival of female yoga instructor Indra Devi to the U.S. in the 1940s and who was trumpeted by cosmetic legend Elizabeth Arden.  Later, yoga teacher Richard Hittleman became a celebrity with his books and television show – but his poses were always demonstrated by women.  In the 1970s, the PBS yoga show, “Lilias, Yoga and You” featured instructor Lilias Folan and aired in the afternoon in many markets, a time of day when the home was the domain of the stay-at-home mom.  Although more athletic forms of yoga developed later, such as Power Yoga, the deep involvement of woman in the practice solidified the idea of yoga as a woman’s exercise in the minds of many men.

]]>

Yoga experts also say the need for men to have concrete exercise results may also be a reason why they refrain from yoga.  Through weight training, many men can see a definite change in their bodies, such as more muscle mass or muscle definition.  But with yoga, many of the most important changes are internal, mental and emotional benefits that maybe harder to gauge for a person taught to measure success by wins and losses.

As one instructor stated, instead of focusing on quieting his mind or relaxing, men may build even more tension by focusing on performing a pose perfectly (in response to their competitive streak) and not be satisfied until they do, even if it’s a move recommended for an advanced student and they’re in their first class.  By focusing on accomplishments and perfection, the instructor said, men miss out on the one of the greatest benefits of yoga.

The fear of failure in many men, some yoga instructors say, is also one of the reasons they stay away from the studio.  Since most men’s idea of exercise consists of lifting weights or calisthenics that require the body to move in such a rigid motion, they often lack the flexibility that yoga demands.  Even beginning male students, the experts say, give up after a few sessions because they fear “failure” at not being able to perform the moves (without realizing that their inflexibility may be the biggest reason they should participate in yoga).

Yoga instructors say it may help to inform many men that some of today’s top athletic stars are yoga fans who use the practice to help them perform.  Superstars such as NBA star Shaquille O’Neal, former NFL star Jon Kitna and pitcher Barry Zito, as well as entire teams such as the Los Angeles Lakers and Chicago Cubs, offer yoga to their athletes to counteract the rough treatment they receive on the field.

Yoga instructors say that men who begin yoga training must learn to not think of yoga as a “success or failure” undertaking.  The instructors say that yoga is not concerned with perfection of pose or rating someone based on whether they can perform a backbend on their first day in class.  Yoga, they stress, is a gradual process where the student comes to acknowledge the mind-body connection.  When placed in the right perspective with realistic goals, each yoga session can be considered a “success”.

Yoga instructors suggest that men who are attending their first yoga session take time to introduce themselves to the teacher and discuss the class structure.  Men should also accept and admit (to the instructor and to themselves) that they harbor some anxiety about the yoga class.  Opening the lines of communication between the instructor and the student may go a long way toward erasing any fears men may have of not being able to meet some self-created standard.

Another option yoga instructors may want to consider, the experts say, is occasionally conducting a men’s-only yoga session where men can be themselves.  Yoga instructors who have tried this say that it is, of course, a different atmosphere than co-ed or women-only sessions – off-color jobs are not unheard of.  But arranging such classes can be a big help in teaching men to relax in the studio and, in turn, relax with the idea of yoga.

Finally, men should be willing to let themselves go mentally in a yoga class.  Some of the most powerful men in business have credited yoga with letting them clear their heads of the day-to-day stresses and mental strain of the workday.  And not only does yoga let them get rid of old, troublesome thoughts, it allows new thoughts to come in.  indeed, many top executives have claimed that some of their most successful ideas have come while meditating during yoga.

It may be some time before the numbers of men in yoga equal that of women.  But by embracing a new attitude, men can reap the major benefits, both physical and mental, that yoga has to offer.

Julie Bullard, Professor of Education and Director of Early Childhood Education at Montana Western, and author of Pearsons Creating Environments for Learning: Birth to Age Eight, has been recognized as the 2011 U.S. Professor of the Year for Montana, one of the most prestigious awards honoring undergraduate teaching. The award is presented by the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching, and the Council for Advancement and Support of Education.

Through her innovation and dedication, Julie has expanded higher education opportunities in her state, and she continues to exemplify the values that Pearson embraces, said Julie Peters, Pearsons Senior Acquisitions Editor, Early Childhood Education, Professional & Career, Higher Education. She is one of our sounding board authors, as we value her judgment on so many levels, and we congratulate her on this tremendous honor.

Bullard earned her degree in child development at Montana State University in 1975, and then worked at the Billings Womens League as a house parent for abused and neglected children. Following a stint at Northern Montana Head Start, she pursued a masters degree in elementary education with an emphasis in early childhood and history and social science from Northern Montana College (now Montana State University-Northern) in Havre. While earning her masters degree she also worked part time preparing future teachers in the Havre Head Start and Fort Belknap and Rocky Boy reservations to obtain the Child Development Associate national certificate.

In 1989, Bullard took over the new grant-funded early childhood education program at Western Montana College of the University of Montana (now the University of Montana Western). When grant money ran out two years later, she oversaw the programs institutionalization, and the Montana Western Early Childhood Education program grew from three to nine field sites across the state. The program now offers a one-year certificate, an associates degree, a bachelors degree and a minor leading to a teaching certificate endorsement.

She is credited with increasing retention and completion rates of students in her program and for pioneering Montana Westerns innovative block scheduling program, Experience One, through which students take, and professors teach, one class at a time three hours per day over an 18-day period. By taking four blocks in a semester students earn the same amount of credits as in traditional scheduling models.

Bullards Creating Environments, published in 2010, provides a balance of theory and application to help novices and early childhood practitioners understand why and how to set up, arrange, and make changes to early childhood learning environments. Coverage woven through each chapter includes material for all age groups in early childhood (infants and toddlers through 3rd grade), assessing the environment, meeting the needs of all learners, the teachers role in facilitating learning in the various environments, and ways to address each curricular area outdoors.

In addition to Creating Environments, Bullard has worked with Pearson to develop a series of educational labs and an online course in Health, Safety, and Nutrition to be published in 2012.

I feel extremely honored and humbled to receive this award, said Bullard. I think the faculty at Montana Western is exemplary, and this honor is not just recognition of me but of our entire faculty and all the hard work we do.
