Keep Off the Winter Weight Before You Pack It On!

Cookbook author Diana My Tran reveals the secrets to keeping weight off – the Asian way

(PRWEB) October 3, 2003

“…reveals Far East secrets.”

PublisherÂ’s Weekly

“Diana is a walking advertisement for her philosophy of cuisine.”

Mary Bird, “Bird’s Eye View,” The Georgetowner

“Overall, the recipes in The Asian Diet are simple and satisfying….the book does provide a good introduction into how Asian foods can be incorporated into a weight-loss or healthful-eating regimen.”

Michael Hastings, Winston-Salem Journal

It is not a crash diet – it is a diet of nutritious, fresh foods that will help you feel and look your best and get into a healthier eating pattern.”

Should the Steroid Scandal Scare Knee Pain Sufferers away from Steroid Shots?

Should the Steroid Scandal Scare Knee Pain Sufferers away from Steroid Shots?

Open any paper and you’ll find headlines shouting of steroid overuse and abuse. Suddenly joint pain sufferers are questioning the safety of injected steroid shots commonly used to diminish the pain and swelling of joints and tissues. "It is critical for professional, amateur and week-end athletes to realize that ‘steroid’ injections into joints and tendons are completely unrelated to the steroids that are currently the talk of the news,” reports Dr. Ronald Grelsamer, Orthopedic Surgeon at the NYU Medical Center and Hospital for Joint Diseases Orthopaedic Institute, and chief of hip and knee reconstruction at Maimonides Medical Center.

(PRWEB) December 11, 2004

Open any paper and youÂ’ll find headlines shouting of steroid overuse and abuse. Professional athletes aspiring to be the biggest and best in their respective fields are admitting to the use of banned steroids to enhance their performances.

Suddenly joint pain sufferers are questioning the safety of injected steroid shots commonly administered to diminish the pain and swelling of joints and tissues.

“It’s critical for professional, amateur and week-end athletes to realize that ‘steroid’ injections into joints and tendons are completely unrelated to the steroids that are currently the talk of the news,” reports Dr. Ronald Grelsamer, Orthopedic Surgeon at the NYU Medical Center and Hospital for Joint Diseases Orthopaedic Institute, and chief of hip and knee reconstruction at Maimonides Medical Center.

“Steroids represent a large class of medications in the same way that the term ‘aircraft’ refers to jets as well as helicopters and gliders.”

-The steroids that build up muscle mass are anabolic steroids that come with a host of dangerous side effects.

-Joint and tendon steroids are safe anti-inflammatory medications that quiet down tissue irritation and relieve pain.

Let's Clarify Cortisone

“Natural cortisone, an adrenocorticoid hormone produced in one’s body by the adrenal gland, is released at the onset of stress into the blood stream,” explains Dr. Grelsamer. “Injectable cortisone, on the other hand, is a synthetic steroid first used for rheumatoid arthritis, and developed as a derivative of natural cortisone by Edward C. Kendall and Philip S. Hench at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota in 1948. Steroid shots are injected into a specific area of inflammation to treat conditions such as severe knee problems, painful hips and backs, arthritis, tendonitis, bursitis, synovitis, tennis elbow and carpal tunnel syndrome.”

Are Steroids Safe?

“In What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Knee Pain and Surgery,” Warner Books 2002, and "What Your Doctor May NOT Tell You About Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery,” Warner Books 2004, Dr. Grelsamer says “There are downsides to steroid injections, however. They are not curative, and they can make the tissues less healthy and more prone to infection.

“The likelihood of developing one or more side effects depends on the dose of medication and on the length of time the medication is taken. There is therefore a limit to how many injections a physician can prescribe for a specific area. It is important to note that not all steroids are equivalent. The more expensive medications are stronger, last longer, and don’t leave a dandruff like residue in the joint.

“Injections provide short-term relief at best. Although pain relief usually lasts from a few days to a few weeks, some patients might experience freedom from pain for a few months. Newer forms of injectable medications may last longer, with fewer deleterious effects on the joint, but their benefits are not predictable, either.”

Dr. Ronald Grelsamer, M. D., is currently the chief of hip and knee reconstruction at Maimonides Medical Center, and a noted staff orthopedic specialist at the NYU Medical Center and Hospital for Joint Diseases Orthopaedic Institute. A highly-regarded knee and hip surgeon, Grelsamer has been listed in Castle Connolly’s “America’s Top Doctors,” and in New York Magazine’s “Best Doctors of New York” for many years. Traditionally trained and educated, Grelsamer is an avid patient advocate at the forefront of orthopedic research and technology, who integrates the latest treatments and surgery options into his practice. He has been treating people of all ages for over twenty years at his two offices in New York City and Brooklyn, New York. He has also shared his expertise with the public on NBC’s Today Show, ABC’s Eyewitness News, FOX TV, and in publications such as Forbes Magazine and USA Today.

Divorce – Break Up or Make Up. Tips from the Front Line

Divorce – Break Up or Make Up. Tips from the Front Line.

In a recent AARP study, results indicated that wives who are over age 40 typically initiate divorce, rather than their husband. As the CEO of The Right One and Together Dating, Falzone has been responsible for countless successful matches, which have led to successful marriages. Falzone advises couples of the essential ingredients needed to keep a relationship healthy.

BALTIMORE, MD; NORWELL, MA (PRWEB) August 18, 2004

In a recent AARP study, results indicated that wives who are over age 40 typically initiate divorce, rather than their husband. The study, which surveyed 1,147 divorced people ages 40 to 79 was conducted in an effort to better understand who initiates a divorce after the age of 40.

“The results are not wholly surprising. Women in general are more attentive to detail, and when it comes to relationships, they are very much aware of problems. Women are nurturers, but they also take on the role of troubleshooter. When there are problems, they’ll attempt to find out what is wrong and either fix it or alter it,” noted Paul Falzone, author of a recent book on relationships and CEO of The Right One and Together Dating Service.

“Aside from serious abuse problems (involving physical, emotional, alcohol or drug abuse) most marriages can last over the long term, but it takes a lot of TLC and both partners have to work at it,” Falzone explained.

As the CEO of The Right One and Together Dating, Falzone has been responsible for countless successful matches, which have led to successful marriages.

Falzone advises couples of the essential ingredients needed to keep a relationship healthy:

Nurture the relationship instead of fearing its demise. Sometimes marriage becomes more an act of preservation than of sharing, caring, communication and growth. This is due to one or both partners refusing to acknowledge something has changed or something is wrong (and pretending all is well) for fear that it will end the relationship. Change is inevitable in life and in relationships too. Embrace change, work with it and nurture those “new” aspects it brings to your relationship.

Listen to each other. Listening is the most important part of communication. It’s impossible to remain in a relationship where one partner does not listen to the other. “Listening,” means being attentive, processing the information and responding. It does not mean one partner must follow the other’s directions or wishes.

Learn from mistakes. ItÂ’s a fact. Everyone makes mistakes. In a relationship, itÂ’s important to acknowledge when you have made a mistake and learn from it.

Respect each other. Although you are married, you are still two different people. You may or may not have the same likes and dislikes and you each have faults and strengths. Learn to accept the good with the bad. Even more important, respect each otherÂ’s individuality and show respect toward one another.

Communication. Simply put, communication exists when partners listen to each other and there is open and honest discussion of feelings and thoughts. If you were in a work situation and you didnÂ’t understand something, you would probably ask questions. ItÂ’s the same in relationships. If you donÂ’t understand, ask questions. Providing positive feedback is also an aspect of communication and another way to nurture your relationship.

Sympathy. Being sympathetic shows your partner you care and you support him/her. YouÂ’ve put yourself in his/her shoes and can understand what he/she may be going through. The ability to sympathize with one another will help a great deal in weathering difficult times together.
