The Kids and Parents Guide to Back to School Wellness

Leave a comment



NEW YORK (PRWEB)

With a new school year, there’s often a lot of change. Families need to adjust their bedtimes and encourage new homework habits. Parents are also looking for nutritious food to fuel their family’s day. Here are some easy wellness tips and ideas to manage the back-to-school season.

A video accompanying this announcement is available at: https://youtu.be/Ph1kyEYTyXQ

Eat healthy even with a busy back-to-school schedule:

Most families find that eating healthy with a packed schedule can be tough. But if you plan ahead by having healthy items ready to go, it’s much easier.

One avocado product that should be at the top of your list is from GoodFoods, and it’s a great example of how convenience can give you lots of healthy options.

They have 4-pack single serves of guacamole and avocado mash that you can instantly pull from your fridge or put in the kids’ lunchbox. They don’t brown, and they also don’t have added sugar or artificial ingredients. You can make an easy breakfast with the avocado mash on toast while you make the kids’ lunches.

And the ready-to-eat guacamole is full of flavor with huge avocado chunks in every bite — you can use it as a healthy dip for quinoa-and-rice crackers or carrot sticks.

Have a wellness routine to help stay healthy:

It can be easy to run out the door to school without properly brushing your teeth. One product that might help motivate your child to brush better is from Oral B, the #1 Dentist Recommended brand worldwide. It’s their Kids Vitality Rechargeable Toothbrush. It has a built-in timer that can help your child brush for the dentist-recommended full two minutes. Also, its extra-soft brush head gently brushes your child’s teeth and cleans better than a manual toothbrush.

Help your children’s immune system stay strong:

You can fill up on colorful fruits and veggies for a natural immune booster which can also help fight off viruses — examples are oranges, grapefruit, broccoli, and strawberries.

You can also try to get elderberries in your diet as one of our wellness tips. Elderberry is a superfruit which can help keep immune systems in tip-top shape.

And if you’re looking for an elderberry option for kids — Dimetapp has new Children’s Immune Support Elderberry Gummies. These are a medicine-free option for kids to get their everyday immune support — they taste great and kids love gummies, of course. And they help support a healthy immune function for children ages 2 and over. Here at SMG we might also say “it’s a child-approved way” to fuel your kids with Vitamins C, D, E, and Zinc.

Navigating Cancer Appoints Dr. Ethan Basch as New Scientific Medical Advisor

Leave a comment



SEATTLE (PRWEB)

Navigating Cancer, the leading provider of oncology patient relationship management software, is pleased to announce that Ethan Basch, MD, MSc, FASCO, has joined as the company’s new Scientific Medical Advisor. Dr. Basch is a medical oncologist and distinguished professor in the School of Medicine Division of Hematology/Oncology at University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill (UNC) and a professor in the UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health.

Dr. Basch is a world-renowned patient-reported outcomes researcher and his work has been instrumental in bringing the patient’s voice to the forefront of cancer care through patient-reported outcomes (PROs). As a Scientific Medical Advisor, Dr. Basch will work with Navigating Cancer on strategy and implementation of their PRO and remote monitoring solutions in the market, as well as consult on real-world evidence-based national studies on Navigating Cancer’s remote monitoring and PRO solutions.

In 2017 Dr. Basch presented a groundbreaking study at ASCO which found that cancer patients who used a web-based survey to report symptoms to their care team during treatment experienced increased overall survival, as well as improved quality of life, longer time on therapy, and fewer ER visits and hospitalizations. Navigating Cancer will leverage Dr. Basch’s work and implement studies with his support to prove the same positive impact of PROs on cancer care can be reproduced in a real-world, community oncology setting in rural and diverse patient populations.

“Dr. Basch’s research on the use of patient-reported outcomes has been revolutionary in cancer care and we believe that the effective use of PROs in the real world is pivotal to success in value-based care,” said Gena Cook, founder and president of Navigating Cancer. “We are looking forward to leveraging Dr. Basch’s expertise and research in making patient-reported outcomes a routine part of cancer care throughout our network.”

Dr. Basch said, “Navigating Cancer’s comprehensive patient platform is associated with reduced ED visits and improved symptom management, and their ability to scale PROs into clinical workflow will continue to enhance this value. Common challenges when incorporating PROs into clinical care are uptake and sustained use by providers. Navigating Cancer directly addresses these challenges with their triage system. I’m excited to help them extend their PRO solution and to ensure that it is leveraging scientific research.”

Navigating Cancer’s Health Tracker remote monitoring solution allows cancer patients to self-report side effects and oral medication adherence between clinic visits, ensuring their care team can monitor and manage side effects promptly to keep patients on track with their treatment. Dr. Basch will work with Navigating Cancer’s team to provide strategic insights on product development and testing.

About Navigating Cancer

Navigating Cancer is the leading Patient Relationship Management technology and solutions company focused on improving the patient experience, delivering more effective care management and enabling oncology care innovation. With over 1,700 providers adopting the Navigating Care platform, it is the most broadly deployed patient management solution in oncology.

Macy Gray Releases “Buddha” Video, Advocates for Mental Health

Leave a comment


https://www.prweb.com/

Cover art contest winner by Jonathan Caustrita

“To everybody struggling with something, it’ll be okay, just don’t let it beat you. Buddha says ‘concentrate the mind in the present’ – and that’s where it’s at all the time.”


LOS ANGELES (PRWEB)

Legendary R&B/soul singer Macy Gray has released the official music video for “Buddha” (featuring blues-rock guitarist Gary Clark Jr.) from her latest album, RUBY, following an exclusive premiere via Rolling Stone. The video was directed by the multi-talented Teyana “Spike Tee” Taylor.

“Buddha” finds Macy reflecting on her 20+ years in the music business, the disorienting nature of fame, and her quest to find her center and stay grounded.

As Macy told Rolling Stone,

“Underneath the Gary Clark solo, the incredible production by Johan Carlsson, and the Teyana Taylor-directed video is a little story about my battles with mental health. Though it has held me up and set me back many times, I was able to write this song because I am winning my war with it. And I’m able to celebrate my present and look forward to my future because of it. To everybody struggling with something, it’ll be okay, just don’t let it beat you. Buddha says ‘concentrate the mind in the present’ – and that’s where it’s at all the time.”

Leading up to the video release, Macy hosted a cover art contest on Instagram and received over 300 submissions from artists hoping to win the $500 prize and have their art featured as the official “Buddha” single artwork. The winnerwas created by Jonathan Caustrita (@jonathancaustrita), an illustrator from Dallas, TX.

“Macy Gray’s RUBY is named for more than just a jewel: it describes her polish, passion and the rich, regal countenance she’s absorbed since reclaiming her focus and artistry.” – Soul Tracks

“With stunning production and Gray at her most charismatic, [RUBY] is a showcase of an artist in her prime.” – Atwood Magazine

MORE ABOUT MACY GRAY:

“I love the gem ruby,” Macy explains. “It’s so regal. I really wanted a title that would stick. The stone is also red of course, which is my favorite color. It’s rich and has history. It’s classic — and so is this album.”

That unmistakable rasp, unshakable grasp on soul, and funky spirit ensured her status as a 21st century icon since her arrival with the triple-platinum album On How Life Is in 1999. Selling over 25 million albums globally, winning a GRAMMY® Award and two BRIT Awards, collaborating with everyone from Ariana Grande to Galactic, and selling out venues in nearly every corner of the globe two decades into her storied career. Macy’s talents resound beyond music as well. She starred in Tyler Perry’s Black Reel Award-winning For Colored Girls and would grace the screen everywhere from Brotherly Love and Cardboard Boxer to NETFLIX’s hit Fuller House. Moreover, she made a now legendary appearance in Training Day alongside Academy® Award winner Denzel Washington one of many on-screen hallmarks.

Now, her tenth full-length album, RUBY [Artistry Music/Mack Avenue], reaffirms and reasserts that signature rarity millions continue to treasure.

Channeling the spirit of the “grimy” R&B and smoky jazz closest to her heart, Macy made a leap forward by looking back to formative inspirations. However, she updated those elements with enriched, entrancing, and enigmatic soundscapes brought to life by producers Johan Carlsson [Michael Bublé, Maroon 5], Tommy Brown [Jennifer Lopez, Fifth Harmony, Travis Scott], and Tommy Parker Lumpkins [Janet Jackson, Justin Bieber].

“They’re all stellar producers, and they helped me craft an incredibly rich project,” she goes on. “They were brilliant in integrating horns and strings. There are so many complex layers. I wanted something that never got boring in terms of the music.”

RUBY canvases a wide spectrum for the songstress. Raucous horns that feel ripped from a classic seventies flick augment the grit on “Cold World” as “Jealousy” spins a covetous narrative that soars as it seduces. Gary Clark Jr. adds six-string firepower to “Buddha.” Everything culminates on the reggae-inspired “Witness,” which shuffles between mainland soul and island grooves as she croons, “I wish I was Jesus. I would make sure to fix it. Can I get a witness?”

“I think my sound reflects where I am,” she exclaims. “I’m a little older…just a little [laughs]. I’ve had more experiences and influences. I want my sound to feel fresh and relevant. I feel that I was able to achieve that, and I’m extremely proud of this album.” Audiences will feel that, too as she brings the record to life nightly in North America, the UK, and Europe on her 2018 tour.

In the end, RUBY represents Macy Gray at her most passionate, poetic, and powerful. “I hope audiences can feel connected to the record,” she leaves off. “I hope that I can make them smile and make them reflect. I love when fans reach out with stories of how I’ve inspired, influenced them, or helped them get through a moment in their life. I want them to take away sincerity, honesty and authenticity. I’m hopeful that I am providing them with something that is meaningful and thoughtful. I’m still looking at how I can contribute more artistically and as a human. This is one way.”
