Increasingly, consumers value superior and healthy foods that help them feel better about themselves – natural products that benefit the body, lifestyle and demonstrate a respect for nature. These are gifts that have a value beyond taste and versatility with health-giving benefits that show love and respect for those whom they are gifted to.

Olive oil is the King of the Mediterranean Diet. As a product that is appreciated all over the world, it passes the test of the most demanding palates. There is a direct relationship between olive oil and the kitchen, but it is not so common to gift this product. Here are a few reasons why it makes the perfect gift this Valentine’s Day:

  • It is a unique gift that promotes a healthy lifestyle, since virgin olive oil brings multiple benefits to our health; reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases since it is very rich in oleic acid. Also, it is a perfect excuse to organize special evenings with this delicacy
  • The market has become sophisticated, and offers cases and bottles of exclusive, experimental, daring and unusual designs that make olive oil the ideal choice to surprise loved ones
  • This is the perfect option for lovers of the kitchen and for the followers of the popular “foodie” trend, because with the different varieties of EVOO you can create a variety of dishes and satisfy all the palates…
  • Compared with other gourmet products the price of olive oil is affordable considering the multiple times it can be enjoyed
  • Olive oils are widely used in cosmetics, resulting in natural products, which provide very interesting compounds for the body that contribute, among other things, to maintain healthy and hydrated skin and hair. This special day can be rounded off with the luxurious gift of a cream or olive oil mask.

The Spanish Olive Oil Interprofessional is a non-profit organization, formed by all the representative entities of the Spanish olive oil sector, whose main objective is the dissemination of the product throughout the world and it does so through the brand Olive Oils from Spain.

WHO WE ARE

DREAM was founded in 2002 by a group of visionary volunteers and donors who, after visiting a public school in Cabarete with no running water or electricity, were compelled to improve Latin America’s poorest performing education system. They established both a US and Dominican non-profit organization to create change. From acclaimed author Julia Alvarez and Pulitzer Prize winner Junot Díaz, to the first Dominican-born member of Congress, Adriano Espaillat, DREAM’s board has consisted of artists, athletes, educators, and philanthropists leading the charge to educate all Dominican youth. We build and run schools together with communities; we establish quality educational programs; and we stay and work with the communities until they are willing and able to do it on their own. This is what sets DREAM apart from other organizations. Our DREAM is that all children and youth in the Dominican Republic will have equal opportunities to learn and realize their full potential through transformative education programs that combat the effects of poverty. DREAM serves more than 9,000 youth throughout 27 DREAM communities across the Dominican Republic. To learn more or to get involved, visit www.dominicandream.org/.

Professional Basketball All-Star Al Horford Tips Off 2019 With ‘BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK’™ Campaign

0
BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK™

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13, 2019 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Professional basketball All-Star, Al Horford, has a strong history of battling in the paint, both offensively and defensively. A true triple-threat – scoring, rebounding and assisting – Horford has continuously played at a high level, earning the right to be named an All-Star five times, a testament to his balanced approach to recovery and nutrition. As he looks to continue a successful season in the Eastern Conference – and help lead his team to a championship win in 2019 – Horford will show how chocolate milk is key for recovery.

BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK™

Since entering the league as the third overall draft pick in 2007, Horford has been a force to reckon with, as one of only two players who has earned 11 consecutive trips to the postseason. Horford has dominated on the court, and it had appeared as if nothing could slow his game down until a pectoral injury in 2013 threatened everything, and forced him out for the season and into surgery. With his love for the game in the balance, Horford got serious about recovering the right way, which included switching up some of his nutrition practices. After working with a nutritionist, Horford quickly learned that his body was missing the proper nutrients he needed to recover and added lowfat chocolate milk to his training regimen. Backed by more than 20 studies, real chocolate milk has the high-quality protein to build lean muscle and nutrients to help replenish muscles.

BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK: Posting up with Al

One of the best big men in the league, Al Horford will be the face of the new national BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK TV and digital campaign set to spotlight his balanced approach to performance, recovery and nutrition, debuting on February 14. For the first time, the campaign is bilingual, making Horford the first-ever Hispanic athlete on the roster. Fans will learn his secret to rebounding after strenuous games and workouts and will be able to watch exclusive content featuring the power forward.

“I always drank chocolate milk growing up and I remember my grandmother would always have it when I would visit her in the Dominican Republic – that’s when it all started,” said Horford. “When I moved to the States at 14, my dad and stepmom continued to buy it for me, but as I got older and played more, I gave it up for drinks I assumed were better for performance. I quickly learned that I was lacking in important nutrients, and that water alone couldn’t replenish my body sufficiently. After working with a nutritionist, they turned me back onto chocolate milk, which is now my secret weapon after workouts.”

A Championship Roster

Horford joins a strong roster of elite athletes who choose chocolate milk as their post-workout drink of choice, including tennis star Sloane Stephens, three-time Triathlon World Champion Mirinda Carfrae and professional racing cyclist Alison Tetrick.

“Al has a unique story centered on making important nutrition choices, including chocolate milk as his recovery beverage, which we are thrilled to highlight as the cornerstone of the 2019 BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK campaign,” said Miranda Abney, Senior Marketing Director at the Milk Processor Education Program (MilkPEP). “He is committed to what really matters to him – overall balance, his performance on the court and spending time with his family off of it. We are proud to welcome Al to our team.”

Chocolate Milk: Built With Science

With natural, high-quality protein to build lean muscle, fluids and electrolytes to replace what’s lost in sweat, calcium for strong bones, and the right carbohydrate to protein ratio to refuel exhausted muscles – lowfat chocolate milk is the real deal for real recovery. And, not only does chocolate milk have what your body needs to recover post-workout, it’s a delicious, satisfying drink. More than 20 scientific studies, conducted with athletes from sports spanning running, cycling, swimming, rock climbing and soccer, support the benefits of recovering after strenuous exercise with the high-quality protein and other nutrients in lowfat chocolate milk. In fact, drinking chocolate milk after a tough workout could give athletes a performance edge, according to a growing body of research. One study found that following an exhausting ride, trained cyclists had significantly more power and rode faster, shaving an average of six minutes, from their ride time. In a time trial later that same day when they recovered with real lowfat chocolate milk, compared to a carbohydrate sports drink or calorie-free beverage.[i] Other research suggests that including chocolate milk’s high-quality protein as part of a regular workout and recovery routine could support real results through helping athletes gain more lean muscle and lose fat, when compared to athletes who recovered with a typical sports drink.[ii], [iii], [iv]

Join the conversation on Facebook @BuiltWithChocolateMilk, Twitter @Chocolate_Milk and on Instagram @BuiltWithChocolateMilk using #RealWorks.

The National Fluid Milk Processor Promotion Board, through MilkPEP, runs the BUILT WITH CHOCOLATE MILK Campaign, a multi-faceted program designed to educate athletes and exercisers about the recovery benefits of real lowfat chocolate milk after strenuous exercise.  Lowfat chocolate milk helps athletes refuel, rebuild and reshape after regular exercise – with high quality protein scientifically shown to help repair and rebuild muscles.

PAE Group, LLC, 795 F.3d 1057 (9th Cir. 2015) has been featured in several prominent outlets, including Wright & Miller’s Federal Practice and Procedure, and can be viewed on YouTube.
