Do you live in one of the fittest cities in America? A new list put out by the American College of Sports Medicine lists the nation's capital, Washington D.C. as the fittest city in the US. The ACSM took into account the percentage of residents who smoke, are obese, get regular physical activity, eat at least five servings of fruits and vegetables per day, and have conditions such as diabetes and heart disease -- and they focused on local resources, such as parks, farmers' markets, number of primary health care providers, and crime rates. In each of these cities there are people commited to living a healthy life. Whether you live in one of the fittest cities in the US or not you have to make the decision to get healthy and fit.

You cannot talk about healthy aging without mentioning the integral hormone “human growth hormone” or HGH. HGH is the master hormone that drives the growth and development of the body. It causes the liver to produce powerful insulin-like growth factors (IGF), which contribute to the maintenance of lean body mass and the health of the body’s vital organs.
Ultra Prime™ Secretagogue HGH Enhancer is a natural secretagogue that works as an HGH releaser, helping to raise HGH levels in an entirely physiological manner. It gently stimulates the endocrine system to produce and release its own HGH naturally. The ingredients work synergistically to maximize the effectiveness of the amino acids in the formula. Ultra Prime Secretagogue:
- Functions as a secretagogue to help naturally increase the production and secretion of HGH by the brain's pituitary gland
- Helps increase energy and strength
- Helps maintain cardiovascular health
- Helps increase endurance
- Helps maintain optimal immune system health
Take a step towards healthy aging by supplementing with Ultra Prime.

Summer is my favorite time of the year because of all the movie releases, summer tours and sporting tournaments that take place. I’m already working on my movie list and to avoid the hustle of long lines and risking not getting tickets I use Fandango. Their service is great and for a small price I avoid lines and get the seats I want for my favorite movies. If tickets are not yet available I sign to FanAlert™ and get fefan email alert that lets me know tickets are available for the movie I want to see in my city. Here’s what’s at the top of my list:
For concerts I use Ticketmaster to check who is touring this summer. One of the coolest events happening is the Rothbury Festival which takes place in Rothbury, MI during July 4th weekend. If you love music, art & theater this is the place to be this summer. For sports fans summer is a great time. Whatever sport you follow there is a game, race or tournament going on this summer. My favorite sports, soccer and tennis, have an exciting summer schedule. 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifiers are at its peak and team USA is looking to clinch the top spot. On top of that the 2009 FIFA Confederations Cup takes place between the 14th and the 28th of June, where the current continental champions will be battling out to give us a taste of what to expect next year for the World Cup. Closing the season is the US Open, my favorite tennis tournament. I’m trying to convince a couple of friends to make the trip to NY for a weekend to enjoy some of the fantastic tennis matches. So whatever you are passionate about you can find products like music, movies, event tickets, sporting goods and much more at marketamerica.com. Find great deals for your favorite stores and get paid to shop.

A six-month, placebo controlled, double-blind trial in humans found that taking 1 gram of Curcumin BCM-95™ results in much greater blood levels of curcuminoids than consuming 4 grams of curcumin with a meal. 940 ± 920 vs. 120 ± 140 nmol/L. These results indicate that the patented extraction process and formulation found in Curcumin BCM-95™ yields superior absorption and bioavailability compared to other curcumin extracts and powders. Researchers also found that it is the concentration of curcuminoids in the blood that is positively associated with cardiovascular health and not the total amount of curcumin ingested. Stay tuned for more great news on Curcumin!

With the recent outbreak of 2009-H1N1 (a.k.a. in the media as Swine Flu), many of you may be wondering if Snap™ Disinfectant Cleaner (code: 6213) will work against this new strain of flu. The EPA released a statement that any product effective against Influenza A viruses, should also be effective against 2009-H1N1. EPA registered Snap Disinfectant Cleaner (EPA Reg. No. 1839-95 – 68709; EPA Est. No. 55948-NC-01) is in fact effective against influenza A viruses and thus effective against 2009-H1N1 at a ratio of 2 fl. oz. per gallon of water.

It seems as though everywhere I go lately I find hand sanitizer. Dispensers are mounted to the walls of my gym, the grocery store, public restrooms and many people even carry around a small bottle with them. Finding ways to protect yourself and your health is all over the news. Our bodies work hard all day to protect us from all of the potentially harmful elements we encounter from the air and the people with whom we come into contact. It is important to support our bodies and do all that we can to support the optimal functioning of our immune system. We can help our bodies by eating a healthy balanced diet, getting enough sleep, minimizing stress and exercising regularly. We can also support our immune system with proper nutritional supplementation. Immune™ Maximum Defense Formula is a great way to help maintain general health, help support our normal cellular defenses and promote healthy immune function.
The compounds foundfef in Immune Maximum Defense Formula promote healthy activity of interleukins, interferons and necrosis factor, all key components in a healthy immune system. Maitake Gold 404®, a highly studied extract of the maitake mushroom, is shown to be effective in supporting the body’s immune cells, including natural killer cells, macrophages, T cells and B cells.*

A man's work is from sun to sun, but a mother's work is never done. ~Author Unknown
With Mother’s Day right around the corner, it’s hard not to think of all the great women in our lives. The women who shape us, change us and inspire us to be better people are all around, and for one day a year, we celebrate their contribution to our lives. Their work is never done, and for this, they deserve a happy mother’s day
So what do you do for the mother who has worked hard all year and whose work is never done? We’ve come up with a few mother’s day gift ideas you can share with your loved ones to show your appreciation for the profession that never takes a day off. Here are some ideas for mother’s day:
1) Take her out to her favorite restaurant: The best thing a mom can ask for is spending quality family time together. What better way to say thanks than a great meal at one of her favorite restaurants? A great mother’s day gift idea could be as simple as a gift card to her favorite restaurant. Nothing says “I love you” like a full stomach.
2) Give her the gift of health: As we age, our bodies need more and more help regenerating and recharging the functions of the body. Give her the gift of a healthier life and stronger bones with Market America's health and nutrition products.
3) Make sure she’s got all the latest gossip: Giving the gift of reading gives mom a reason to take time out of her demanding day for herself, something many busy, modern women forget to do so often. A great mother’s day gift idea can come in the form of celebrity magazines, hobby magazines, parenting magazines, or any of the hundreds of magazine titles out there. She’s bound to have a happy mother’s day with a year subscription to her favorite periodical.
4) Help her catch that next great buy: Giving mom an excuse to go shopping might be the ultimate guilty pleasure, and a great way to show her she deserves rewards for being a great mom. When looking for ideas for mother’s day, make sure she knows where all the deals are at. There are many websites out there scouting out the latest and greatest fashion deals around. To begin, check out MyFashionCents.com .
5) Give her fefthe royal treatment: Guys, this one is a classic and is always, always appreciated by the ladies. Giving her the gift of a professional massage or spa treatment is a great way to melt all the stress in her life away. Taking care of her with a day at the spa, or a salon manicure, or even a hot mud bath might be the perfect way to show how much you care. There are two great ways to present this one: You can either buy the gift certificates beforehand and give then as a present, or buy a complete spa package in a box to bring home.
6) Elope for the weekend: If you are still stuck thinking of good ideas for mother’s day, what could be more rewarding for her than a spontaneous day or weekend getaway? Take her to the beach, take the family to an amusement park, or even to see her favorite basketball or football team. Find the best deals on travel, resorts, hotels and events using MarketAmerica.com, the best search portal around.
All in all, Mothers Day is all about spending time with the women in our lives that mean so much to us. To all the moms, daughters, wives, and women out there, we love you. Have a Happy Mother’s Day!
