Clean Eating Challenge Social Posts

“As an advocate for clean eating with more plant-based foods, it’s exciting and personally satisfying to be able to work with these industry veterans who provide consumers across the country with healthy fruits and vegetables that are so badly needed to keep our country healthy,” said Dr. Smith

MISSION, Texas (PRWEB)
January 27, 2020

New year, new us. That’s what four Texas fruits and vegetable professionals are saying these days, thanks in part to the guidance they’ve been getting from best-selling author, TV personality and physician Dr. Ian Smith. Dr. Smith is heading up the Clean Eating Challenge, a health and wellness campaign sponsored by Texas International Produce Association (TIPA)’s Viva Fresh.

The challenge, which started in November, will continue until the 2020 Viva Fresh Expo on April 30 through May 2 at the JW Marriott Hill Country Resort in San Antonio and is sponsored by SunFed, Grow Farm Texas, Coast Tropical, Rio Fresh Inc. and J&D Produce. Dr. Smith will announce the results from the challenge during his keynote speech at the expo.

Health and wellness have been some of the main cornerstones of the Viva Fresh Expo, says Dante Galeazzi, President & CEO of TIPA. “There’s been a global rise in clean eating driving consumers from all age groups to embrace a plant-based diet. But growers are often removed from these trends. That’s why we’re excited about this challenge and intend to use the resulting insight to showcase how fresh fruits and vegetables are an essential part of an overall healthy diet.”    

So, what is this challenge that has helped four industry professionals lose an average of 24 pounds per person, and counting, in the last two months? Dr. Smith has tailored plans for and is closely monitoring each of them as they change their diets in an effort to create a healthier lifestyle – all based on the principles he teaches in his books, “Clean and Lean: 30 Days,” “30 Foods, A New You!,” “The Clean 20,” and “Blast the Sugar Out,” as well as the upcoming, “Mind Over Weight,” due to be published in April 2020.

“I’m absolutely amazed by each participant’s commitment and dedication to this program,” stated best-selling author, TV personality and physician, Dr. Ian Smith whose been leading and coaching the group. “As an advocate for clean eating with more plant-based foods, it’s exciting and personally satisfying to be able to work with these industry veterans who provide consumers across the country with healthy fruits and vegetables that are so badly needed to keep our country healthy. Now these four produce professionals are getting a firsthand look at just how powerful fresh food can be!”

The journey to a healthier lifestyle is no easy task but Dr. Smith is helping participants see that it doesn’t have to be as painful as some might think – and his past experience makes him a credible authority. President Obama appointed Dr. Smith to two terms on the prestigious President’s Council on Fitness, Sports, and Nutrition. He is currently the medical contributor and co-host of the nationally syndicated television show The Rachael Ray Show. He is a former co-host of the Emmy award-winning syndicated daytime talk show, The Doctors. He also served as the medical/diet expert for six seasons on VH1’s highly-rated Celebrity Fit Club and is the creator and founder of the national health initiatives: The 50 Million Pound Challenge and The Makeover Mile.

Participant Testimonies

“This has been a life-changing journey for me. Becoming a grandfather has inspired me to take my health and wellness seriously. I can’t tell you how much my energy level has changed and how well I’ve been feeling. The food has been satisfying and I’ve lost 24 pounds to date. My lipid panel has improved to the point of I was able to cut my cholesterol medication in half. I’m changing 59 years of bad habits and I’ve never felt better.” – Tommy Wilkins, Director of Sales for Grow Farms Texas

“I was recently diagnosed with diabetes, so I wanted a restart to be able to make healthier choices. Eating lots of raw fruits and vegetables has been really helping to keep my sugar levels stable. I haven’t had a sugar spike since I started the program which is amazing. Now, I’m more than halfway to reaching my goal of losing 40 pounds.” – Michelle Cortez, Sales Manager, Empacadora GAB – Mr. Lucky.

“I’ve battled weight my whole life so it’s time for me to get in control of how to fully live my life. I’m feeling better having a lot more energy especially at the end of the day and my mind is clearer. And I don’t feel like I’m starving. Traveling for work has its challenges but I’m happy to report that I’ve lost 25 pounds to date and am on my way to reaching my goals.” – Ed Bertaud, Director, Retail Sales-IFCO RPC North America.

“I joined the challenge because I felt out of step and a lot older than my 45 years. Now I’m walking eight to ten miles a day and am feeling healthy, strong and lighter. I’m eating healthier but I don’t feel like I’m sacrificing flavor with the use of fresh herbs, spices and fresh salsa. My balance is better, I’m down 24 pounds and am feeling great.” – Jed Murray, Partner, Tenaza Organics.

The opening of the Ranch Studio will allow us to bring the benefits of the shared model to a completely new type of business

HOUSTON (PRWEB)
January 21, 2020

The Ranch Office is known as a great choice for coworking office space. Freelancers, entrepreneurs, remote employees, and anyone else in need of affordable office space turn to the Ranch Office in West Houston. Now, they’re offering something different. Coming soon on the property is a shared studio for fitness professionals – Ranch Studio. Personal trainers and yoga instructors who can’t afford their own space can now pay only for the time they need, allowing them to train clients or teach classes without breaking the bank.

The Ranch Studio will be located at the 1220 Blalock Road Ranch Office headquarters. The main feature is the multi-use studio room, equipped with state of the art fitness equipment. Features of the studio include a projector and audio system, both of which can be controlled by trainers or instructors who rent the space. The entrance leads to a reception area, in addition to a private room available for smaller classes or consulting sessions. The two bathrooms include showers, so trainers and clients can clean up after their exercise.

Leasing a building isn’t cheap. You may need studio space, but it can be hard to commit to the steep price. With Ranch Studio, members don’t have to worry about the affordability of leasing a studio. Instead, Ranch Studio offers the ability to pay only for the hours needed. As part of the membership, a member could reserve a time block for their business’s dance class, physical therapy consultation, or personal training session. By only having to pay for what is needed, Ranch Studio makes fitness and studio space as accessible to everyone as the original coworking space made office space.

The company is betting on the Ranch Studio as another option in the shared space rental game. “The opening of the Ranch Studio will allow us to bring the benefits of the shared model to a completely new type of business,” says founder Michael Haapaniemi. “This project allows us to empower local entrepreneurs in the fitness and health related industries by dramatically lowering their cost of doing business, while also providing them and their clients with an energetic atmosphere that borrows from our neighboring Ranch Office coworking space.” Lowering the cost barrier to entry for these small businesses isn’t the only benefit. Haapaniemi continues, “In addition, Ranch Studio members will receive perks from the Ranch Office, such as an included mailing address and access to our flexible workspace, should you need to answer emails after your training session.” The space will also be available to members currently officing out of the Ranch Office coworking space.

Early bird discounts are available now for those who sign up before opening. To learn more, visit the Ranch Studio’s website.

A breach of trust sometimes triggers a need for self-preservation, which can translate to becoming less kind, open, and honest.

Some people who distrust others believe that the world is a cruel place, and may see it as justification for their own deceitful acts.

MONTREAL (PRWEB)
January 25, 2020

Trust must be earned. It’s a slow, gradual, and fragile process, which is often the reason why many people are unwilling to place their faith in others. Yet the motives behind a deep sense of distrust can be complex. Some people use it as a means of self-preservation, in order to protect themselves from feeling the pain of betrayal. Dig far enough into a distrusting person’s past, and what will likely be found is some form of trauma, neglect, or abandonment. However, research conducted by Queendom.com indicates that some people who question the integrity of others actually do so because they themselves have questionable integrity. They know they are not trustworthy, so they project this onto others, assuming that the people they betray have similar intentions, and think/feel/act the same way. They then use their distrust as justification for their own dishonesty.

Analyzing data from 1,720 who took the Integrity and Work Ethics Test, Queendom researchers compared trusting people to untrusting ones on various honesty/dishonesty related traits and attitudes. Here are some of the most striking differences the study revealed: (Note: Scores range on a scale from 0 to 100).

TRUSTWORTHINESS

> Score for trusting group: 80

> Score for untrusting group: 58

DISCRETION

> Score for trusting group: 76

> Score for untrusting group: 51

ACCOUNTABILITY

> Score for trusting group: 84

> Score for untrusting group: 65

REMOURSEFULNESS (AFTER COMMITTING AN ACT OF DISHONESTY)

> Score for trusting group: 84

> Score for untrusting group: 62

MANIPULATIVENESS

> Score for trusting group: 20

> Score for untrusting group: 56

DECEITFULNESS

> Score for trusting group: 21

> Score for untrusting group: 52

DISDAIN FOR GULLIBLE PEOPLE

> Score for trusting group: 25

> Score for untrusting group: 59

SCHADENFREUDE (DERIVING PLEASURES FROM OTHER PEOPLE’S MISFORTUNES)

> Score for trusting group: 18

> Score for untrusting group: 55

VINDICTIVENESS

> Score for trusting group: 22

> Score for untrusting group: 57

ACTING IN SELF-INTEREST

> Score for trusting group: 25

> Score for untrusting group: 54

SENSE OF GRANDIOSITY/SUPERIORITY

> Score for trusting group: 23

> Score for untrusting group: 56

CYNICAL ATTITUDE TOWARD MORALITY

> Score for trusting group: 26

> Score for untrusting group: 53

“We view the world through the filter of our perception, which is influenced by our beliefs, attitudes, and life experiences,” explains Dr. Jerabek, president of PsychTests, the parent company of Queendom. “Some people who distrust others believe that the world is a cruel place, and may see it as justification for their own deceitful acts. To them, it’s a ‘dog-eat-dog world,’ where the only way to survive is to be just as cruel and dishonest as they perceive others to be. The problem is, if you think that this world is filled with cruelty and deceit, that’s all you’ll ever see, because your perception is what creates your reality. You won’t be able to see the good, because the bad is all you’re looking for.”

“When it comes to trust, allow it to build gradually. Trust isn’t about naively assuming that everyone will treat you with the love and respect you deserve. Most importantly, don’t judge people by their words, but by their actions. If your gut is telling you that there is something off about a person, heed the warning and proceed with caution. Be vigilant about the information you share. Remember, however, that although trusting someone is to open yourself up to possible betrayal, to refuse to place your faith in anyone is to close yourself off to the potential for companionship, support, friendship and love. You may have been betrayed once, twice, even several times. That doesn’t mean you should distrust everyone – just be more careful about who you place your trust in.”
