National Conscience Month Originator Explains How Your Heart, Liver, Brain and Kidneys Can Also Celebrate Thanksgiving This Year

[ad_1]

Leonard Perlmutter
Originator of Conscience Month

“When we use our Conscience as our guide during the holidays, the positive benefits impact every mind and body sitting around the table.” Leonard Perlmutter (Ram Lev)

As families and friends gather around the Thanksgiving dinner table in gratitude for life’s many blessings, Leonard Perlmutter, founder of American Meditation Institute reminds the nation that celebrants can ensure that every organ of their bodies will also be able to give thanks for the wholesome pleasures of delicious, home-made food. According to Perlmutter, author of the new book YOUR CONSCIENCE, and originator of National Conscience Month (January of 2022), no individual will have to deny themself the pleasures of food nor experience guilt this Thanksgiving––if they simply experiment wisely with food choices, like deciding to eat one, rather than two or three slices of Grandma’s famous apple pie.

Perlmutter says, “If we think of Thanksgiving dinner as a scientific laboratory for experimenting with the unerring wisdom of the Conscience, we can savor every morsel we eat, while at the same time loving our muscles, nerves, joints, eyes, teeth, brain, heart, lungs, liver, bladder, intestines, stomach and kidneys just to name a few. When we use the Conscience as our guide, we’ll also find the flexibility, energy, optimism, and good sense of humor we need to help prevent the potential family conflicts that can so easily erupt at such holiday gatherings.”

Learn more about how to create all kinds of easy experiments at holiday time and every other day of the year in Perlmutter’s new book, YOUR CONSCIENCE. It teaches how to start the process of trusting one’s Inner Wisdom, even if it’s unclear where or how to start. The book is an easy-to-read handbook that presents simple experiments for practicing how to use the Conscience—and notes the many benefits that can be derived from that effort. Only through one’s personal experience of testing the wisdom of the Conscience can any individual learn to trust its ever-reliable guidance in making lifestyle choices that will assure long-term good health and happiness.

Do You Know What Day November 22nd Is? It’s Kimchi Day.

[ad_1]

aT Center NY Kimchi Billboard at Times Square

It’s great to celebrate Kimchi Day on November 22nd with consumers through various events. We hope that the day will come when kimchi, a healthy food, will be loved by people all around the world, and we will continue to promote actively and positively in the future.

Kimchi Day is an official day established to preserve the kimchi culture under the UNESCO Intangible Heritage of Humanity to promote the value and excellence of kimchi. It was designated as November 22nd to use at least 11 healthy ingredients such as cabbage and radish to have 22 benefits like enhanced immunity and antioxidants when consumed.

As part of the promotion of Kimchi Day, aT Center New York is displaying a large scale billboard ad in the middle of New York Times Square until the end of the year, along with fun consumer-participating online and offline events such as Reposting Event, Shoot & Posting Event and Find Kimchi Man to bring awareness of Kimchi Day.

In particular, the Find Kimchi Man event, which will be held at New York Times Square for only two hours from 4 PM to 6 PM on Kimchi Day, November 22nd is drawing everyone’s attention as a unique and fun consumer-participating offline event that combines the worldwide hit Netflix drama, Squid Game and the Times Square Kimchi Billboard advertisement.

In addition, the Kimchi and K-Food promotion video, produced under the concept of The Taste of Wonder, maximizes the taste of kimchi with the sound using ASMR, making consumers feel the taste of fresh and healthy kimchi more realistically.

Shim Hwa-seop, aT Center New York General Manager, said, “It’s great to celebrate Kimchi Day on November 22nd with consumers through various events. We hope that the day will come when kimchi, a healthy food, will be loved by people all around the world, and we will continue to promote actively and positively in the future.”

EyePromise® Welcomes PGA Tour Athletes Dylan Wu, Lee Hodges and Jared Wolfe to the Team

[ad_1]

EyePromise logo

I figured if the Boston Red Sox and other pro sports teams rely on these, why not give them a try? I’ve been taking Vizual Edge Pro™ since November of 2020 and have noticed that I am picking up on so many more of the little details on the golf course and am seeing my targets from a distance.

EyePromise, the #1 eye-doctor recommended line of eye vitamins formulated to help preserve, support, and improve vision and eye health, has partnered with three recent Korn Ferry Tour winners and recent PGA Tour graduates: Dylan Wu, Jared Wolfe and Lee Hodges. All 3 golfers are rookies on the PGA Tour for the 2021-2022 PGA Tour Season.

Already used by many PGA Tour golfers including 31-time European Title Winner Colin Montgomerie and 2021 Ryder Cup Captain Pádraig Harrington, EyePromise has been helping these golfers and other athletes have sharper vision and overall improved eye health.

A graduate of Northwestern University, 25-year-old Dylan Wu earned his PGA Tour Card this past summer after a big win at the Price Cutter Championship. “I’m excited to officially join the EyePromise family,” said Wu. “One year ago at the eye doctor, I decided to give eye vitamins a try. Since then, I have noticed improvement in my ability to read the greens and less sensitivity in sunlight. This gives me confidence which, in turn, has helped me improve my game.”

Similarly, American Jared Wolfe, who has played globally since 2014 and had victories last year at the Bahamas Great Abaco Classic and the Wichita Open, got curious about eye vitamins after hearing about them from others on the Korn Ferry Tour. “Vision is so important to golf, and frankly, any sport or day-to-day activity. I figured if the Boston Red Sox and other professional sports teams rely on these, why not give them a try?,” said Wolfe. “I’ve been taking Vizual Edge Pro™ since November of 2020 and have noticed that I am picking up on so many more of the little details on the golf course and seeing my targets from a distance more clearly. For example, I can pick up the subtle contours and the grain on the greens much better.”

Since 2001, EyePromise has been providing athletes, doctors, and the everyday individual with natural eye vitamins to help maintain and support better vision against age-related eye health issues, irritated dry eyes, and even the effects of screen time. EyePromise is NSF Certified for Sport®, and the science behind the supplements demonstrates that eye-friendly nutrients such as zeaxanthin and lutein work together to build the macular pigment within the eyes, which is responsible for crisp, clear vision and overall eye health.

Lee Hodges, the former University of Alabama Crimson Tide golfer, won the 2020 WinCo Foods Portland Open and had 15 top-25 finishes on the Korn Ferry Tour this past year on his way to earning his PGA Tour card. Lee was introduced to EyePromise because of the eye dryness he was experiencing on the course. “I have worn contacts most of my life and am grateful to have found EyePromise,” said Hodges. “I have always battled dryness and irritation due to long days outside on the golf course, and The Vizual Edge Pro supplement has reduced discomfort. Eye health is crucial to my ultimate success on the golf course!”

“We’re so proud of the accomplishments Dylan, Lee and Jared have had on the Korn Ferry Tour and their achievement in earning their PGA Tour cards by finishing in the Top 25,” said Andreas Wolf, President of EyePromise. “Their feedback after using Vizual Edge Pro™ is consistent with what we hear from other elite athletes. We look forward to a bright future with these young stars as they embark on the PGA Tour.”

No other book that I know takes you on a complete diet-reset program from mental preparation to strategy to maintenance.

Annamarie Jackson combines her personal experience and knowledge gained from years of study and research in “Meditate Yourself Fit: The Key to Ending Compulsive Eating” (published by Balboa Press), a health/diet/fitness book that offers an approach to recovering from compulsive eating and creating a healthy relationship with food.

The book is geared toward those who are struggling to live up to their idea of how to relate to food. It focuses on the use of meditation to cut off compulsive desires for food before they begin. Here, readers get to learn a combination of skills — spiritual, physical and practical — that, together, will help them internalize their ability to change habits and live the life they really want. Included are multiple variations of meditation techniques that anyone can fit around their current life situation. The ultimate goal is to help others recognize their food issue, recalibrate their mindset and move into a higher plane of self-actualization.

“No other book that I know takes you on a complete diet-reset program from mental preparation to strategy to maintenance,” the author states. “It offers a new application of meditation techniques for whatever phase of food addiction recovery you’re in. If you find yourself backtracking, even after you follow all the steps, you can refer to it over and over to refresh your memory.”

In today’s world where fast-food temptations are at its height, “Meditate Yourself Fit: The Key to Ending Compulsive Eating” is a helpful reference manual for those looking for a lifelong healthy relationship with food.
