National Conscience Month Scholarship winner Compton-Engle placed first in this year’s Midwest Meet of Champions, setting her personal record along with a Shaker High School record.

“Learning how to use the infinite resources of the Conscience is not simply a good idea, it is a dire necessity.” – Leonard Perlmutter

AVERILL PARK, N.Y. (PRWEB)
February 22, 2022

The American Meditation Institute (AMI) proudly announces that Mia Compton-Engle of Shaker Heights, Ohio is the winner of the 3rd Annual National Conscience Month Essay Contest. This year’s honoree will receive a $2,200 scholarship toward higher education for describing her personal rewarding experiences of using her Conscience as her sole decision-making guide.

In her award-winning entry, “Win or Lose, Use Your Conscience,” high school senior and cross country running champion at the Shaker Heights High School Compton-Engle writes that by using her Conscience to determine her thoughts, words and deeds, “I won the race, but I only remember the opposition frontrunner’s sincere congratulations afterwards, a rewarding validation made possible solely by concession to my Conscience. My Conscience has taught me that win or lose, ultimately kindness prevails. And our relationships with others are all the better for it.”

National Conscience Month, observed each January, is intended to encourage individual citizens, governments, school systems, faith leaders, non-profits, community organizations and corporations across the United States to celebrate and raise awareness about the value of consciously using your conscience as an inspired guide in making better decisions.

According to Leonard Perlmutter, founder of The American Meditation Institute, author of “Your Conscience” and originator of National Conscience Month, “Today, a new reliance on our Conscience as our guide can make it possible for each of us to access and integrate intuitive wisdom, and to establish greater personal security, creativity and peace of mind.”

OMAHA, Neb. (PRWEB)
February 16, 2022

The world can always use a little more kindness, especially during the cold winter months. For many older adults, even the smallest interactions can make a great impact—increasing quality of life and improving an older adult’s overall health.

In a recent Home Instead survey, U.S. and Canadian respondents said they found kind acts that required little money or effort to be the most meaningful, with one-fifth of respondents (21%) preferring a visit from a friend or family member. Though most said they hadn’t received a greeting card or letter in the past two months, 84% of those who did found the gesture to be “very” meaningful.

“One of the easiest ways to let older adults know they are valued is by simply engaging with them,” said Erin Albers, vice president of Social Purpose at Home Instead. “By keeping our aging population at the center of our hearts and minds this winter, we can help build a kinder and more compassionate world.”

Random Acts of Kindness Day (Feb. 17) is an opportunity to make an older adult in your life feel seen, heard and loved. Albers suggests the following acts of kindness to connect with older adults near you:

• Share a coffee. For many, “let’s get coffee” is a simple phrase that means much more than enjoying a cup of joe—it’s a chance for meaningful conversation and connection. Consider inviting a senior in your life to spend time with you—virtually or in person—and reconnect.
• Lend a hand. During the pandemic, older adults may be isolated without the normal help they receive from family or friends. Give a senior neighbor a hand by offering to finish an outdoor project for them. Tackle the activities that prove to be more difficult for them first: Bring their newspaper or mail to their doorstep, shovel snow or scrape ice off their car.
• Give a compliment. Nothing boosts spirits more than a flattering compliment, no matter your age. An encouraging message can help seniors feel special and appreciated. During your next interaction, take a moment to compliment their fashion sense or call out special traits that make them unique.
• Write a letter (or two). A letter to an older adult is a simple gesture that bears great meaning. For isolated seniors, it may even be one of the only interactions they’ve had in a long time. Take things one step further by becoming a pen pal. Skip the stamps by submitting your letter online at readytocare.com/pen-pals.
• Pick up the phone. Older adults have vibrant histories and rich lives—when asked to connect, they have plenty to share. Telling stories and connecting on a personal level over the phone can give older adults a sense of connectedness, while giving you incredible insight into their past. Start by asking questions about their childhood and important lessons from their lifetime to go beyond small talk.

With so much going on in the world, it can sometimes feel like one person is incapable of making a difference. But that’s not true. Every kind act—no matter how simple—has the power to bring so much joy to our lives, whether we’re giving or receiving it.

This is truly elevating exercise as a medical intervention for national and global epidemic levels of diabetes.

ST. LOUIS (PRWEB)
February 15, 2022

The American College of Lifestyle Medicine (ACLM) has announced the addition of digital health and fitness solution leader GlucoseZone to its Lifestyle Medicine Corporate Roundtable, a group of thought leaders and industry professionals who explore effective clinical innovations, activate marketing strategies, accelerate reimbursement and policy adoption, and pursue research and demonstrations of lifestyle medicine in practice. ACLM launched its Corporate Roundtable in 2016 and it now includes more than 40 active member organizations in the lifestyle medicine ecosystem.

Lifestyle medicine is defined as the use of evidence-based lifestyle therapeutic intervention—including a whole-food, plant-predominant eating pattern, regular physical activity, restorative sleep, stress management, avoidance of risky substances and positive social connection—as a primary modality, delivered by clinicians trained and certified in this specialty, to prevent, treat, and often reverse chronic disease.

GlucoseZone is the only clinically validated online fitness and coaching program for A1c improvement and weight loss for type 2 diabetes. Designed to be clinically integrated at every therapeutic stage of diabetes, GlucoseZone has pioneered the practice of offering exercise coaching and content based on a patient’s real-time blood sugar, biometrics and medication usage, providing real-time adaptability for changes. The end result is a muti-media platform that helps patients become physically active, manage medication and clinically benefit from exercise.

GlucoseZone is also the only digital fitness platform that supports both patients and payers in their common goals of improving health outcomes and lower costs related to type 2 diabetes. Studies have shown that GlucoseZone helps patients improve A1c and lose weight, as well as help health plans save on average over $5,700 per patient/per year in pharmaceutical optimization and cost avoidance.

Lastly, GlucoseZone is the only digital health platform that enables fitness to become part of the health plan infrastructure for diabetes. GlucoseZone provides the digital platform that enables fitness clubs, gyms and studios to become core components of diabetes prevention and management strategies for health plans.

GlucoseZone has a growing cohort of certified locations and providers and can be clinically integrated based on patient/provider/payer preferences, needs and geographic location. Clinicians and fitness professionals interested in offering GlucoseZone can become certified members of the GlucoseZonePro network and start offering GlucoseZone at their own location or online. Payers interested in benefiting from GlucoseZone can take advantage of existing GlucoseZone certified locations and virtual coaching, or work with GlucoseZone to support their members’ needs.

“We believe the future of diabetes prevention and management resides at the intersection of clinically integrated fitness and nutrition lifestyle therapy and look forward to supporting and collaborating with other like-minded organizations dedicated to bringing lifestyle medicine to the forefront of healthcare,” said GlucoseZone Founder and CEO Charles O’Connell.

“What is so unique about GlucoseZone is the application of exercise as a tailored intervention for a medical condition above and beyond general fitness guidelines,” said ACLM President Cate Collings, MD, MS, FACC, DipABLM. “This is truly elevating exercise as a medical intervention for national and global epidemic levels of diabetes. The adaptability of this solution provides great opportunity for patients, clinicians and payors alike. We welcome GlucoseZone to our Corporate Roundtable.”    

ABOUT GLUCOSEZONE: GlucoseZone is a digital health company providing online fitness to people living with diabetes and chronic conditions around the globe. Patented and clinically validated, GlucoseZone offers patients A1c improvement and weight loss through exercise and nutritional therapy based on their real-time biometrics and medication usage.

ABOUT THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF LIFESTYLE MEDICINE: ACLM is the medical professional society for those dedicated to the advancement and clinical practice of lifestyle medicine as the foundation of a transformed and sustainable health care system.

More than a professional association, ACLM is a galvanized force for change. ACLM addresses the need for quality education and certification, supporting its members in their individual practices and in their collective mission to domestically and globally promote lifestyle medicine as the first treatment option, as opposed to a first option of treating symptoms and consequences with expensive, ever-increasing quantities of pills and procedures.

Majestic Pillow and Fusion Topper

“Over the last 40 years working to extend the careers of over 3,000 professional, tactical, and industrial athletes, actors, members of special forces and operators, I recognized the importance of sleep quality,” said US Military Career Extension Specialist Mackie Shilstone.

DETROIT (PRWEB)
February 15, 2022

Majestic Beds, a Detroit-based mattress company, recently conducted a sleep anecdotal evidence study in partnership with the US military to test the effects of their uniquely patented Majestic Fusion Topper and Majestic Pillow. The company designs sleep systems that provide the proper support and comfort needed to achieve a quality night’s rest and help reduce pain sensitivity levels associated with medical symptoms and physical disabilities.

Sleep deprivation and fatigue adversely impact performance but are too often a factor in military accidents. With more awareness around the importance of quality sleep, military branches are exploring how the right sleep surface can significantly improve military readiness, including recovery and performance. In a military-mandated study, overseen by premier Sports Performance Manager and Career Extension Specialist Mackie Shilstone, Majestic Beds was requested to provide six Fusion Mattress Toppers and Majestic Pillows, comparing if they would have a favorable impact over other sleep systems.

“Over the last 40 years working to extend the careers of over 3,000 professional, tactical, and industrial athletes, actors, members of special forces and operators, I recognized the importance of sleep quality,” said US Military Career Extension Specialist Mackie Shilstone. “It was when a former NFL client introduced me to the Majestic Sleep System – topper and pillow – that I had a first-hand experience in improved sleep quality. I then offered the same option to several of my professional and military clients with the same positive outcome – reduced lumbar discomfort, a feeling of refreshment upon awakening, and enhanced energy during work cycles. In my world, it’s all about results and performance.”

In the 18-month long study, which ended in November 2021, researchers utilized specialized watches and chest bands to measure the impact of nightly sleep on brain waves, heart rates, sleep stage durations, recovery time, and individual performance ratings on field training exercises. In the last three months of the study, the Fusion Toppers were distributed to one of the teams with the following results:

Deep sleep increased by 45 minutes

Average nightly rapid eye movement (REM) sleep increased by 30 minutes

Recovery times and performance scores in field training exercises improved such as shooting stages and training loads

Decrease in neck and cervical pain

Majestic Fusion Toppers’ patented technology creates a sleep surface ideal for superior spinal support and unrivaled pressure-relieving comfort, two factors essential to enhancing sleep quality and helping reduce pain associated with a veteran’s physical disabilities. The three-layered topper features a top Ergo Gel Layer made of pressure-relieving gel foam that absorbs up to 17°material. The second Ergo Transition Layer improves spinal stabilization for both back and side sleepers. The third Ergo Comfort Layer is a high-density gel memory foam that enhances both spinal stability and pressure-relieving comfort.

“The exclusive combination of patented technologies creates a sleep surface with superior spinal support and unrivaled, pressure relieving comfort needed to enhance sleep quality and help reduce pain associated with a veteran’s physical disabilities,” said Majestic Beds Founder Alan Martens.

Fusion II, a thinner Fusion deployment mattress topper is now being assessed with the final results due in March. This topper can be used on any existing barracks or naval mattress and creates a cooler sleep surface while promoting proper spinal support and adaptive comfort, regardless of body mass, for a more restorative night’s sleep. In addition, it compresses into an 11-inch diameter roll for deployments.

About Majestic Beds:

The owner, W. Alan Martens original design originated almost 30 years ago in the healthcare industry as a mattress topper for cancer patients to relieve joint pain and absorb night sweats. Over the years his designs have evolved into the Majestic Beds mattress, mattress toppers, and pillow designs that are 100% made in the USA. Majestic Beds is the only retail bedding company whose designs use up to three patented technologies in each of its mattresses and mattress toppers to create the support and comfort needed to help relieve the pain associated with medical symptoms, physical deformities, or recovering from surgery for a more restful, restorative night’s sleep. Majestic Beds has expanded into professional sports and participated in an 18-month sleep study with the Special Forces in which the Fusion topper increased not only Deep and REM Sleep Patterns but also recovery and training performance for the participants using the topper. While working with a range of clients including Children with Cerebral Palsy, Chronic Pain sufferers, to professional athletes, Majestic Beds is proud to have one of the lowest return rates in the industry (less than 1% compared to the industry average of 20+%).
