Colgate Total® Joins the American Diabetes Association® and TV Host Karla Martinez to Share the Everyday Reality of Latinx Living with Diabetes

0
Karla Martinez, Colgate Total spokesperson, TV personality and mother of two

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Every morning, 23 million Americans suffering from diabetes must make careful decisions to manage their daily living: what to eat, what to drink, how to exercise – and even what toothpaste to use. During the month of November – American Diabetes Month® — the American Diabetes Association® is conducting a new “Everyday Reality” campaign to bring greater awareness to these daily challenges and build support for those living with the disease. 

Karla Martinez, Colgate Total spokesperson, TV personality and mother of two

Colgate Total®, a long-standing partner of the American Diabetes Association®, is sponsoring this new campaign to also draw attention to the important connection between diabetes and gum disease.

The everyday reality of living with diabetes in the Latinx community is being brought to life by Colgate Total® spokesperson, TV personality and mother of two, Karla Martinez, who is helping spread the word about the importance of maintaining healthy teeth and gums through a series of tips on digital and social media on @KarlaMartinezTV.

Oral healthcare is a critical part of everyday life for Latinx with diabetes and prediabetes to avoid complications. Latinx experience higher rates of overall oral health issues such as cavities and bleeding gums than the non-Hispanic white population1, and according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, people with diabetes are two times more likely to develop gum disease.2 Gum disease can begin with the more common swelling and bleeding of the gums – the telltale signs of gingivitis.

While living with diabetes often means changes in almost every routine which adds to the everyday struggle, when it comes to oral care a simple switch can have meaningful benefits. According to dental experts, active oral care routines, such as brushing with an anti-gingivitis toothpaste, are among the best ways to protect against the development of gum disease. The unique formula of Colgate Total® toothpaste is unsurpassed in its ability to prevent and reverse gingivitis, making it a helpful ally for those at greater risk for gum disease, such as people with diabetes.

A combination of various factors, including genetics, lifestyle, lack of disease awareness, and health insurance disparities contribute to the higher rates of diabetes and oral care disparities among Latinx. The “Everyday Reality” campaign aims to shine a light on the challenges that people with diabetes face daily, from the moment they wake up and brush their teeth.

“The prevalence of diabetes is higher in the Latino community than the overall U.S. population,” says Karla Martinez. “Through leading by example with my family, I am committed to raising awareness for healthy lifestyles throughout my community. One easy step I take is keeping my mouth healthy. That’s why I use and recommend Colgate Total. It can prevent or reverse gingivitis and protect my teeth from cavaties.”

And follow the #EverydayReality conversation on @Colgate, @AmDiabetesAssn and @KarlaMartinezTV.

American Lung Association and the Ad Council Launch Spanish Language PSA Campaign to Increase Awareness of Lung Cancer Screening among the Hispanic Community

0

NEW YORK, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — To raise public awareness of lung cancer—the leading cancer killer of women and men—during Lung Cancer Awareness Month, the American Lung Association’s LUNG FORCE initiative and the Ad Council today launched Spanish language messaging for its “Saved By The Scan” campaign to educate the Hispanic community about the lifesaving lung cancer screening.

Experience the interactive Multichannel News Release here: https://www.multivu.com/players/English/8423251-ad-council-american-association-lung-force-saved-by-the-scan/

First launched on World Lung Cancer Day last year, “Saved By The Scan” is the only national public service advertising (PSA) campaign to educate Americans about the groundbreaking lung cancer screening for those at high risk for the disease. The low-dose CT scan can detect lung cancer in the early stages, before symptoms arise, when the disease is more curable.

To extend the campaign’s message further and reach Hispanic audiences who may be at risk for lung cancer, the American Lung Association and Ad Council are today releasing Spanish TV, radio, print and digital PSAs, which were created pro bono by advertising agency Hill Holliday.

The campaign targets the estimated 8 million people in the U.S. who are at high risk for lung cancer and should talk to their doctor about getting screened. A person is considered high risk for lung cancer if they: are between 55–80 years old; (or between 55–77 years old and on Medicare), have a 30 pack year history of smoking (this means 1 pack a day for 30 years, 2 packs a day for 15 years, etc.), and are a current smoker, or have quit within the last 15 years.

“Lung cancer is the nation’s leading cause of cancer deaths, and this newly available screening offers the potential to turn the tide against this deadly disease,” said Harold P. Wimmer, National President and CEO of the American Lung Association. “‘Saved By The Scan’ is the first-of-its-kind campaign, and we want to ensure that this lifesaving information reaches all communities and residents, regardless of income, education, ethnic background or language. Sharing this message in Spanish is an important step to both raising awareness about the availability of screening for those at high risk and encouraging conversations between patients and their doctors.”

This new Spanish-language campaign aims to raise awareness of the benefits of early detection through lung cancer screening and drive high-risk individuals to take a lung cancer screening eligibility quiz at SalvaTuPulmon.org (SavedByTheScan.org in English). The site also provides information about lung cancer screening, insurance coverage and more in Spanish and includes a section for people to share their personal stories about how they were “saved by the scan.”

“Our English ‘Saved By The Scan’ campaign has already encouraged so many people to take this disease seriously and get screened,” said Ad Council CEO and President Lisa Sherman. “With this new Spanish language creative, we can empower Hispanic individuals who may be at risk to get screened and ultimately save even more lives.”

The television spot, featuring a former smoker climbing to the top of a vast mountain of cigarettes and ash, is symbolic of the effort it took to quit smoking. After conquering the addiction, proactively taking the extra step to get screened for lung cancer is punctuated by the tagline, “You stopped smoking. Now start screening.” The creative was shot by Academy-Award nominee Rodrigo Prieto, the cinematographer behind Silence, Babel, Argo and Brokeback Mountain.

Consider the facts about lung cancer:

  • Lung cancer kills 422 people every day – approximately 18 deaths each hour, or 1 death every 3.4 minutes.
  • Early detection can save lives – survival rates are five times higher when lung cancer is detected early, but most cases are not diagnosed until later stages.
  • If the 8 million considered at high-risk were screened, about 25,000 lives could be saved. 

The American Lung Association created LUNG FORCE, a national movement to defeat lung cancer, the leading cancer killer of women and men. LUNG FORCE has three priorities: make lung cancer a cause that people care about and act on, educate and empower patients and healthcare providers, and raise critical funds for lung cancer research.

Individuals who may be at high risk are encouraged to visit SalvaTuPulmon.org (Spanish) or  SavedByTheScan.org (English), where they can take the lung cancer screening eligibility quiz and find additional information on the campaign and lung cancer.

ABOUT THE AD COUNCIL
The Ad Council is a private, non-profit organization with a rich history of marshaling volunteer talent from the advertising and media industries to deliver critical messages to the American public. Having produced literally thousands of public service campaigns addressing the most pressing social issues of the day, the Ad Council has affected, and continues to affect, tremendous positive change by raising awareness, inspiring action and saving lives.

ABOUT THE AMERICAN LUNG ASSOCIATION
The American Lung Association is the leading organization working to save lives by improving lung health and preventing lung disease, through research, education and advocacy. The work of the American Lung Association is focused on four strategic imperatives: to defeat lung cancer; to improve the air we breathe; to reduce the burden of lung disease on individuals and their families; and to eliminate tobacco use and tobacco-related diseases.

Food Safety Can Be Crucial For People With Diabetes

0
FDA___Diabetes

SILVER SPRING, Maryland, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — November is National Diabetes Month. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reminds people with diabetes (and those preparing food for them) about the importance of safe food handling in preventing foodborne illness.

Learn about safe selection and preparation of foods for people with diabetes in the free booklet Food Safety for People with Diabetes:

Practicing food safety is critical because diabetes can affect the function of various organs and systems of the body, making those living with this disease more susceptible to infections and pathogens that cause foodborne illness (often called “food poisoning”). When persons with diabetes contract a foodborne illness, they are more likely to have a lengthier illness, undergo hospitalization, or even die. This increased risk is why food choices and safe food handling are critical in managing this chronic disease.

Make Wise Food Choices

Some foods are more risky for people with diabetes because they are more likely to contain harmful bacteria or viruses. In general, these foods fall into two categories: 

  • Uncooked fresh fruits and vegetables.
  • Some animal products, such as unpasteurized (raw) milk; soft cheeses made with raw milk; raw or undercooked eggs, meat, poultry, fish and shellfish; luncheon meats; improperly reheated hot dogs; and salads prepared in a store or food establishment containing animal products such as seafood, ham, or chicken.

Follow the Four Steps to Food Safety

Anyone who is diabetic or who prepares food for people with diabetes should also carefully follow these steps:

  1. CLEAN: Wash hands and surfaces often. Bacteria can be spread throughout the kitchen and get onto hands, cutting boards, utensils, counter tops, and food.
  2. SEPARATE: Keep raw meat, poultry, eggs, and seafood and their juices away from ready-to-eat foods.
  3. COOK to the right temperatures. Use a food thermometer to ensure meat, poultry, seafood, and egg products are cooked to a safe minimum internal temperature to destroy any harmful bacteria. Safe Minimal Internal Temperatures charts.
  4. CHILL foods promptly. Cold temperatures slow the growth of harmful bacteria. Use an appliance thermometer to be sure the refrigerator temperature is 40 degrees F or below and the freezer temperature is 0 degrees F or below.

Know the Symptoms

Consuming dangerous foodborne bacteria will usually cause illness within 1 to 3 days. However, sickness can also occur within 20 minutes or up to 6 weeks later. Symptoms of foodborne illness include: vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, and flu-like symptoms (such as fever, headache, and body ache).

Take Action

If you think that you or a family member has a foodborne illness, contact your healthcare provider immediately. Also, report the suspected foodborne illness to FDA in either of these ways:

  • Contact MedWatch, FDA’s Safety Information and Adverse Event Reporting Program:

Postal Service is Ready to Deliver Nearly 16 Billion Pieces of Cheer This Holiday Season

US_Postal_Service_Logo

WASHINGTON, Nov. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — The U.S. Postal Service expects to deliver nearly 15 billion pieces of mail and 900 million packages, for a total of nearly 16 billion cheerful deliveries this holiday season – the period between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day.

“The Postal Service is ready to deliver for the holiday season.  We have increased our operating capacity to include additional transportation and extended our delivery windows,” said Megan J. Brennan, Postmaster General and CEO. “Our dedicated employees are proud to deliver more packages to homes than any other shipper.”

Once again the Postal Service is expanding its Sunday delivery operations to locations with high package volumes beginning Nov. 25. The Postal Service already delivers packages on Sundays in most major cities, and anticipates delivering more than 8 million packages on Sundays this December. Mail carriers will also deliver packages on Christmas Day in select locations.

Delivering for the Troops and Overseas
The Postal Service also processes mail for overseas Department of Defense (DoD) and Department of State (DoS) recipients. Interestingly, the DoD measures their mail volumes in pounds not pieces, and it’s expected that the Postal Service will process more than 16 million pounds of mail for DoD and DoS recipients between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Eve.                                                                              

Busiest Mailing and Delivery Days
With an increase in early and online shopping for gifts, there is no longer a “busiest day” for holiday shipping. Instead, the Postal Service’s busiest time is now two weeks before Christmas. Starting the week of Dec. 10, customer traffic is expected to increase, and the Postal Service expects to deliver nearly 200 million packages per week during these two weeks. The week of Dec. 17-23 is predicted to be the busiest mailing, shipping and delivery week, when nearly 3 billion pieces of First-Class Mail, including greeting cards, will be processed and delivered.

Skip the Trip and Ship Online
Consumers don’t even have to leave home to ship their packages, simply visit usps.com. The Postal Service anticipates Dec. 17 will be the Postal Service’s busiest day online with more than 8 million consumers predicted to visit usps.com for help shipping that special holiday gift. It’s predicted that nearly 105 million consumers will visit our website between Thanksgiving and New Year’s Day. And usps.com is always open.

It’s estimated nearly 400,000 consumers will use the Click-N-Ship feature and other online services on Dec. 17 to order free Priority Mail boxes, print shipping labels, purchase postage and even request free next-day Package Pickup.

What’s New this Year
Informed Delivery is the Postal Service’s free daily digital preview of what’s coming to your mailbox. This holiday season, not only can you manage your packages and sneak a peek at cards headed your way, you can also see some exterior images of magazines and catalogs — all from your mobile app, dashboard, tablet or computer. Informed Delivery is one more way the Postal Service is helping you anticipate, communicate and celebrate this holiday season.

2018 Holiday Shipping Deadlines
The Postal Service recommends the following mailing and shipping deadlines*:

  • Dec. 4 – APO/FPO/DPO (ZIP Code 093 only) Priority Mail and First-Class Mail
  • Dec. 11 – APO/FPO/DPO (all other ZIP Codes) Priority Mail and First-Class Mail
  • Dec. 14 – USPS Retail Ground

The Campaign "Have an Olive Day" Makes a Stop in LA With the Prestigious Chef José Andrés (PRNewsfoto/Olives from Spain)

LOS ANGELES, Nov. 6, 2018 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Los Angeles hosted a “finger-licking” event on November 5th. The prestigious Spanish chef José Andrés, considered by The Times 100 list one of the top 100 most influential people in the world, presented the initiative, “Have An Olive Day”. This initiative is promoted by Olives from Spain, with the financial support of the European Union.

The promoters of the project will disclose the benefits of this tasty and healthy food (a natural source of antioxidant vitamin E) until 2020 in cities such as New York, Miami, San Francisco, Philadelphia or Chicago.

During the course of this event in the USA’s most cinematographic city, the campaign’s brand ambassador, José Andrés, communicated to the media the versatility of the European olives. He linked them to the Mediterranean Diet, as well as the great quality and variety, increasingly present in “veggie” diets. Los Angeles has an influential Latino community, who are admirers of the taste and variety of olives, and a cradle of healthy food and lifestyle.

The event was held in an exclusive location, “The Bazaar” restaurant at the SLS hotel SLS Beverly Hills, where the chef explained to the journalists the details of the campaign. This was supported by several audiovisuals while he described the qualities of the olives. Varities like Hojiblanca, Queen, Manzanilla or Stuffed with Pimiento that are admired in Europe were highlighted through a careful menu adapted to Californian cuisine. ‘Ferran Adrià’ liquid Queen olives, chocolate brownies with Hojiblanca olives, and chicken wings with Manzanilla olives purée are just some of the original creations that were tasted. José Andrés is a great advocate of olives, due to his European origin, and he uses them in a variety of dishes as a star ingredient.

On the other hand, the US is the world’s top consumer of table olives outside the EU; a market of 400 million euros per year.
