The Cape Cod Lumber wellness campaign aims to improve employee health through its LiveWell CCL program from 2015-2016. It will offer seminars, fitness classes, health screenings and individual/group challenges to address health risks like weight, blood pressure and safety belt use in 41-65% of employees. The program budget is $65,042 to incentivize participation and fund staff, equipment and program development. Research shows wellness programs typically yield a $6 return on investment per $1 spent through reduced healthcare and absenteeism costs. Non-financial benefits also include improved productivity and employee satisfaction. An initial success story highlighted one employee's 28.5 pound weight loss goal achievement through the program.

Free weight loss and diet tips for healthy eating and portion control of foodPrab Tumpati
This is a public domain document from the state of Vermont with excellent points on portion control. 20 years ago, a typical bagel was 3” and 140 calories. Today, a typical bagel is 6” and 360 calories.
The larger bagel is an extra 200 calories. Eating 22 extra calories a day equals a weight gain of 23 pounds a year.
As we welcome the new year 2014, it is important to make a resolution to reduce portions as even cutting down by by a small amount a day can add up.
The other very important and often misunderstood aspect of the foods is the glycemic index of foods. For example, a typical bagel has a very high glycemic index of over 70 percent leading what is called "sugar rush" and "sugar crash". This phenomenon is so common that this is what drives the hunger in most people! This also leads to insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome, prediabetes, and diabetes.
How does glycemic index affect us?
Your body quickly digests the starches found in bagels, which causes your blood sugar levels to rise quickly and a few hours later, it leads to the crash. The higher the glycemic index of a food, the more it affects your blood sugar levels. Table sugar or sucrose has a glycemic index of 60, while the glycemic index of bagels averages 70 - a bagel is worse than even sugar. A breakfast rich in high-glycemic foods such as bagels can predispose you to weight gain, type 2 diabetes and heart problems.
In fact, Sumo wrestlers in Japan intentionally eat high glycemic diet for rapid weight gain, and there are reports that body builders in USA are intentionally using this principle of insulin resistance leading quick weight gain for their benefit by using insulin. According to the CDC, a third of all US adults are prediabetic or insulin resistant, and another third have some degree of it!
According to Dr. Prab R. Tumpati, MD, founder of W8MD medical weight loss centers of America, our obsession with low fatty foods as advocated by the failed food pyramid in fact contributed to our expanding waist lines by way of increased insulin resistance which in turn causes weight gain!
If you are overweight or obese, have excess belly fat, or have metabolic syndrome, pre-diabetes, or diabetes, and need help losing weight with health insurance, w8md medical weight loss centers of America can help!

Parallel Session: A Little Exercise a Day Keeps the Doctor AwayNHSScotlandEvent2013
You’ve probably heard the old saying ‘an apple a day keeps the doctor away’. Well, did you know that even a little light daily exercise actually keeps the doctor away? Not even our fickle weather or the midges can deter ill-health from visiting Scots earlier than in any other western European country. As a result we now must think and act differently, learning to create health alongside treating disease. This session offers clear solutions and an opportunity for all to get involved in the drive to achieve a more active and healthier Scotland. Delegates were invited to be the catalyst for change – by spreading the physical activity message throughout their work settings, by becoming more active themselves and by encouraging their families and friends to get active.

Health challenges are a mainstay of employee wellness programs. However, little is known about whether, when and for whom they are effective. Drawing from the nascent literature on health challenges and related, more established literature, this presentation will focus on how best to leverage health challenges for population reach while acknowledging their limitations in eliciting sustainable behavior change.

Rhinoplasty enhances facial harmony and therefore the proportions of your nose. It will also correct impaired respiration caused by structural defects within the nose.
Rhinoplasty surgery will change:
Nose size in relation to facial balance
Nose width at the bridge or in the dimensions and position of the nostrils
Nose profile with visible humps or depressions on the bridge
Nasal tip that's enlarged or bulbous, drooping, upturned or hooked
Nostrils that are large, wide, or upturned
Nasal asymmetry
If you want a a lot of symmetrical nose, keep in mind that everyone’s face is uneven to some extent. Results may not be utterly symmetric, though the goal is to create facial balance and proper proportion.

Paul Burke
— “The weight management class
was a life lesson because I never
realized that so many foods were
actually really bad for you. I
reached one of my goals this
weekend. After losing 28 ½
pounds, I am now, finally under
200 pounds. This is the first time
in many years.”
