USANA Changes The World Of Nutritional Science

August 25, 2016

SALT LAKE CITY, Aug. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — USANA Health Sciences is pleased to announce an innovative technological advancement: its U.S. patent-pending USANA InCelligence Technology™. This exclusive cell-signaling technology—now found in various USANA® products—is designed to help your body’s cells renew and protect themselves in unique and powerful ways, representing a monumental leap forward in cellular nutrition and overall wellness.*

“USANA continues to build a reputation as an innovator in the science of cellular health and nutritional supplementation,” says USANA Founder Dr. Myron Wentz. “With USANA’s InCelligence Technology, we are ensuring that our company remains on the cutting-edge of nutritional supplementation.”

How InCelligence Cell-Signaling Technology Works

Human cells demonstrate a natural intelligence (or InCelligence), which acts on information from plant-derived biomolecules found in our foods.
Traditional multivitamin supplements simply supply building materials, while USANA’s InCelligence Technology puts the builders to work, directly triggering your body’s natural protection and renewal processes. (Think of it as the ability to have a conversation with your cells to help them do even more of what they do best.)*
InCelligence technology helps build your cells’ resilience and their ability to adapt, which then helps your body meet its unique needs.*

InCelligence: Found in New, Innovative Products

With its U.S. patent-pending cell-signaling InCelligence Complex, USANA has created a cutting-edge product to support your body’s natural ability to make its own protective antioxidants, which are even stronger than those in just about any supplement. CellSentials™ contains a triple-action system that protects, renews, and nourishes cells for optimal cellular function.*

So what does all this really mean? Let’s hear from the expert:

“Our bodies are made up of trillions of cells and many of them are constantly generating cellular energy to power processes in our bodies, like our heartbeat,” says Executive Vice President of Research and Development Dr. Kevin Spelman. “But this process can also generate free radicals that can damage the mitochondria within the cell. Fortunately, our cells have a natural process that helps clean any damaged mitochondria out of the cell to help renew efficient cellular function. Cellsentials help activate this process.”

Also launching with USANA’s InCelligence Technology is their newest product Proglucamune™, an immune-support supplement. Proglucamune is designed to help immune cells respond effectively and support the body’s ability to adapt to occasional stress.*

Proglucamune Ingredients—Ancient Wisdom and Modern Science

Organic reishi and shiitake mushrooms: used for thousands of years in traditional Chinese medicines to support vitality*
Baker’s yeast (specific strain): provides exceptional support for immunity and daily wellness, even during times of occasional, mild stress*
Zinc: an essential trace element that supports proper functioning of immune cells and acts as an antioxidant to help defend against oxidative stress*

It all works together to help keep you feeling fit and well, every day.*

Other USANA products that include the all-new InCelligence technology are Hepasil DTX™ and Procosa^®.

The InCelligence Takeaway

InCelligence is the key to unlock the natural intelligence of your cells and will help support the health of your entire body, no matter what stress you put it through.*

Pregnant Women Can Lower Their Risk Of Birth Defects With A Flu Shot, March Of Dimes Says

August 25, 2016

0

WHITE PLAINS, N.Y., Aug. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Getting sick with the flu early in pregnancy makes you twice as likely to have a baby with a serious birth defect of the brain, spine, or heart as women who don’t catch the virus, the March of Dimes says.

Flu vaccine for the 2016-2017 season is available now, and pregnant women should make an appointment right away, so they can be sure to get their shot early, says Edward R.B. McCabe, MD, chief medical officer of the March of Dimes.

It’s unclear whether it’s the high fever associated with influenza, or the disease itself that contributes to the increased risk of birth defects, experts say. But reducing the risk of birth defects is one reason why all pregnant women and those thinking of having a baby should get an annual flu shot.

Only half of all pregnant women in the United States get a flu shot each season, leaving thousands of moms-to-be and their babies at increased risk of serious illness.

“The annual flu shot should be a priority in health care this time of year,” says Dr. McCabe. “Health care providers should offer all their female patients of childbearing age a flu shot — and if they don’t offer it, then women should ask for it.”

Pregnant women are in greater need of a flu shot because the normal changes to their immune system, heart and lungs put them at increased risk of the harmful effects of flu infection. Also, babies born to women who got their flu shots while pregnant are protected from serious illness from influenza during their first six months of life. Immunized women also have a lower risk of flu-related hospitalizations for chronic asthma, heart conditions, diabetes, a weakened immune system, and other health-related problems.

Studies involving thousands of pregnant women who received the seasonal flu vaccine have shown that immunized women do not have a higher risk of preterm babies or babies with birth defects than unimmunized women. Researchers also found that immunized women are less likely to experience a stillbirth.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention recommends that everyone six months of age or older, including pregnant women, be vaccinated annually against the influenza virus.

In addition to getting their annual flu shots, pregnant women can lower their risks of catching the flu by limiting contact with others who are sick; not touching the eyes, nose and mouth; washing hands with soap and water before touching others; using hand sanitizers; using hot, soapy water or a dishwasher to wash the dishes and utensils; and not sharing dishes, glasses, utensils, or toothbrushes. Also, those who live with pregnant women, or who are in close contact with them, should also get a flu shot each year.

Pregnant women who develop flu symptoms, such as sudden onset fever, muscle aches, and cough should contact their health care providers as soon as possible to discuss beginning an anti-viral treatment.

“La vida es una piñata,” by Ismael Cala, a metaphor on the construction of destiny

August 25, 2016

0

NASHVILLE, Tennessee, Aug. 25, 2016 /PRNewswire/ — Inspirational author, lecturer and communicator Ismael Cala joins HarperCollins Español to present his most recent book, La vida es una piñata (‘Life is a piñata’). This time, Cala makes use of a picturesque metaphor to compare life with the ancient tradition of breaking a piñata: you never know what life could bring, yet you must face it with the proper attitude.

Ismael Cala explains in detail the piñata’s fascinating history of more than seven centuries, from its origins as an agricultural instrument, its journey from Asia to the Americas, with a stop in Europe along the way, down to its current use as a means of entertainment. In its four inspiring chapters, La vida es una piñata confronts the reader with their earliest memories of the emotions, teachings and complexes evoked by breaking a piñata.

Cala offers valuable tools to learn how to take the reins of destiny, knowing that, while the future is not written, it is built by our own determination, discipline and attitudes in life.

La vida es una piñata also includes the experiences of many of Cala’s readers who, through e-mail and social networks, have shared their views on how life is comparable to a piñata. Consequently, the text is enriched by experiences and reflections which Ismael takes and transforms into life lessons. For example, through valuable concepts illuminating the difference between needs and desires; learning to transform obstacles into opportunities, emphasizing the power of intentions and learning to broaden the threshold of merit.

The author also shares his own life experiences, from his childhood in Cuba, his youth as a professional frustrated by a future that looked bleak, and his courageous decision to emigrate. It is his own experiences that motivate the author to share what he has discovered over the course of this “piñata party” – the Cala Method of Living, which he explains in the pages of his book: “The Cala Method of Living does not look upon destiny as an uncertain future. On the contrary, it sees it as the result of the actions you take on your road. The tracks you leave with your footsteps, step by step, over the course of your path in life,” the author says.

ABOUT ISMAEL CALA

Ismael Cala is an inspirational author, international lecturer and communicator. For more than five years he was host of the prime time show CALA on CNN en Español. He is currently an official participant on the program Despierta América (‘Wake up America’) on the Univisión network, and writes a weekly column for more than 50 publications in Latin America and the United States.

He is the author of the bestsellers El poder de escuchar (‘The power of listening’) (2013), Un buen hijo de P (‘A real S.O.B.’) (2014), and El secreto del bambú (‘The secret of bamboo’) (2015). Cala was born in Santiago de Cuba in 1969, and has a degree in Art History from Universidad de Oriente. He graduated from the School of Communication at York University in Toronto, and has a degree from Seneca in Television Production.
