Health Benefits



There are many reasons why a body needs a regular physical fitness routine. Physical activity is any movement that uses energy. Exercise is a structured physical activity that is performed at a specific intensity, for a certain length of time. Performing physical activity on a daily basis is proven to improve a person’s overall well-being.

Over time, a person can see many benefits from performing a regular exercise routine. Both regular exercise and increased physical activity can add years to a person’s life. Health benefits are obtained from increasing the amount of any physical activity performed regularly. Engaging in physical activity provides fitness and health benefits that will improve the following: cardio-respiratory endurance, muscular strength, muscle endurance, flexibility, body composition, and help avoid disease. Exercise is the best way to burn calories, along with these additional benefits:

- Enhances emotional functioning: Fitness allows an individual to become more tolerant, relaxed, and enthusiastic. Exercise increases oxygen intake, which activates endorphins, or positive hormones. These create a positive feeling. In addition, physical activity helps you feel good about yourself, increasing self-esteem and self-confidence. Fitness makes you feel more motivated; this gives you the ability to create the lifestyle you desire.

- Improves cardiovascular health: Active people have greater endurance and generally exude greater vitality. Cardiovascular exercise improves an individual’s lung capacity. It strengthens a person’s lungs, enlarging their capacity to absorb oxygen and expel waste products. A conditioned heart (and lungs) works efficiently to minimize the risk of heart disease. As the cardiovascular system adapts to more strenuous exercise, the heart rate actually returns to its resting level more quickly after exertion.

- Improves mental functioning: Exercise promotes proper blood flow, which clears the mind and gives the body more oxygen intake with proper circulation. People become more dedicated to their fitness as they discover they’ve gained improved concentration and alertness without boredom and fatigue.

- Increases muscle: Performing exercises, or any physical activity, will help decrease fat tissue and increase muscle tissue. Unexercised muscles deteriorate and become weak. Regular exercise makes the muscular system strong, firm, and defined. Good muscle tone holds bones and organs in their proper places.

- Increases metabolism: Exercise helps increase an individual’s metabolism, allowing the person to burn off more calories. Someone who is in shape is able to burn more calories, even while resting.

- Increases brainpower: Exercise increases the flow of oxygen to the brain. Increasing an individual’s metabolism will provide extra energy for the person to think and concentrate on a tough situation.

- Leaner body composition: Exercise uses up extra fat stored for energy, giving a person a leaner appearance. The individual’s body will achieve a greater muscular look and stronger posture.

- Lowers resting heart rate: The average resting heart rate is 72 beats per minute. Cardiovascular activities strengthen the heart, helping to circulate more blood per beat; this results in a lower resting heart rate. A lower resting heart rate signifies that the cardiovascular system is working efficiently.

- Medical conditions: Exercise reduces the risk of heart disease, diabetes, stroke, high blood pressure, and colon cancer. In addition, exercise can help people deal with the stressors associated with having an ailment.

- Reduce fat: Exercise burns calories, reducing an individual’s percentage of body fat. Any extra calories not utilized by the body become fat. Exercising will help burn the extra calories your body does not need to function properly.

- Strengthen bones: Exercise helps develop dense and resilient bones and joints. Fitness offers joints a much wider range of fluid motion, which allows a person’s body to move more freely. Over time, this will lower the discomfort level. Exercise also helps slow, stop, and possibly even reverse the effects of Osteoporosis. Exercise will help strengthen your bones, along with the muscles that support your bones.

A faux cabinet may actually be exactly what you’re looking for. And it may even obviate the need for you to restore or refinish it, since it might be in better condition than a real antique.

Some great places to search are online auctions, estate sales, and specialized websites. The price range for antique medicine cabinets runs from fifty dollars up to as high as four hundred dollars. Online auctions and estate sales may have them at cheaper prices because they are used items.

Making your own cabinet

If you can’t find just the right bathroom wall cabinet, consider making your own. Draw a sketch of the cabinet. Then go to local antique hardware stores and salvage stores to buy the fittings.

At this point, you have three options:

1) Take all the items that you collected, and visit your local cabinetmaker.

2) Buy a book on how to build antique medicine cabinets. or

3) Look online for step by step information on how to build bathroom medicine cabinets.

Restoring a cabinet

If you already have an old bathroom wall cabinet, and would like to restore it, your first task will be to make a thorough assessment. Look for missing and/or rotting parts. Then you will need to find some materials with which to repair it that closely resemble the original cabinet. If you need ideas, there are websites that have step by step instructions on the restoration process.

Whether you are designing your own, or restoring antique medicine cabinets, it is important to use period appropriate colors, like browns and greens. You can also apply a faux finish, to give your cabinet an expensive look.

Wholesale Pharmaceuticals



Wholesale pharmaceutical dealers supply medicines to pharmacists and others at competitive rates. As per ethical trade practices, wholesale pharmaceutical dealers sell only to licensed resellers and not directly to end-users. Wholesale pharmaceuticals generally sell their products to doctors, clinics, pharmacies, medical suppliers and hospitals. A valid wholesale pharmaceutical license is needed for trading in pharmaceuticals. Similarly most wholesale pharmaceutical companies insist on their customers providing evidence of permission to purchase wholesale pharmaceuticals. This permission should have been obtained through appropriate government agencies.

Wholesale pharmaceuticals are generally supplied with the best possible expiry date at the time of sale. Customers need to check their requirements thoroughly before making purchases. Generally the prices quoted by wholesale pharmaceutical companies exclude charges applicable to freight, insurance and customs. Purchasers from other countries are expected to bear any costs incurred for customs clearance, duties, and any other legal requirements. The onus of ensuring that any import of pharmaceuticals complies with relevant domestic laws also lies with the importer.

The modus operandi of persons dealing in wholesale pharmaceuticals is to physically assemble goods in large lots, sort them, repack and redistribute in smaller lot sizes. For these activities, wholesale pharmaceutical dealers need to have access to facilities like refrigeration, storage, transportation and, packaging and labeling services.

The wholesale pharmaceutical industry in the US is governed by federal legislation on drug imports. This is essential to counter loopholes in the system like diversion, incomplete pedigree, counterfeiting and repackaging and reselling illegally. The secondary wholesale market where a lot of counterfeiting and tampering occurs poses a real danger to public health. A combination of stringent laws and responsible social behavior is needed to combat this menace that goes on in the name of wholesale trade.

It is required by law that wholesale pharmaceutical dealers be accredited by their processes being subjected to stringent compliance to wholesale standards as outlined under drug safety laws.

Tom Venuto’s Top 10 Travel Fitness Tips, Part 2



Continued from part 2

6. Cook portable foods and bring meal replacements or healthy snacks for drives, flights and day trips

I love to drive, so for my trip last month I packed everything up in my car and hit the road. Naturally, I cooked for the road trip and my food came with me! I’ve learned how to make a variety of portable foods including several different types of oatmeal pancakes, tuna burgers and healthy sandwiches. Some of these “portable foods” can be even eaten with your hands while you are in a car, on a plane or sitting in a seminar room.

On my recent trip, I knew I had a long drive, so I calculated the number of hours on the road and the number of meals I would need and simply brought them all with me. For two of my on-the-road meals I had oatmeal-egg white-apple-cinnamon pancakes and one of my “meals” was simply a high protein meal replacement shake and fresh fruit. It’s not difficult at all when you plan and pack food in advance.

7. Choose your gym or check your hotel fitness facilities in advance

Many people work out right in their hotel rooms with a body weight exercise program or even portable equipment. Since I’m a bodybuilder, I refuse to go without a fully equipped gym. Unfortunately, on-site Hotel gyms are notorious for sounding great in the advertisements and then when you arrive, you find that the “gym” is a room about the size of a walk in closet, with a few pieces of (mostly broken) archaic equipment from the 1970′s. There are a few exceptions, but having learned my lesson a couple times, I now use the Internet to locate a gym prior to my trip. Call in advance and ask if there are daily or weekly rates.

You can also ask if your hotel has an affiliation with a local health club. During my last trip, the hotel was affiliated with a Bally Total Fitness Center that was just a 10 minute drive away and use of the Bally’s was included with the price of my room. It turned out to be an excellent club, so I was a happy camper.

If you are already a member of a gym in your local area, check to see if your gym has an affiliation with other clubs around the country or if they belong to an organization such as IHRSA (international Health, Racque & Sportsclub Association). Some clubs are part of a network which allows you to train at other clubs when youre traveling – all you have to do is show your membership card and you will get access to train at other clubs that are part of the network. IHRSA has more than 6,500 clubs in 67 countries in its network.

8. Pack your workout gear and plenty of workout clothes

When you pack hastily at the last minute, things can easily be forgotten and left behind, so be sure to pack plenty of workout clothes with you and bring any other gym gear you might need (belt, lifting straps, etc). For extended trips, inquire with your hotel to see if they have laundry facilities. (The hotel where I recently stayed had an onsite laundry room, which came in handy with my 2.5 week stay).

9. Change up your workouts as you change up your gym

Some people get accustomed to their hometown gym and they’re upset or disappointed when they don’t have access to the same equipment when they travel. They feel that it cramps their style or hinders their results. However, this can really be a blessing in disguise. Your body adapts to any workout, often in just a matter of weeks. We tend to be victims of our own habit patterns in life and that includes our workouts. You might want to take advantage of it when you have new and different equipment at your disposal.

After “scoping out” the gym’s facilities, design an entirely new workout program for a change. Do something 100% different. Sometimes a simple change of exercises is enough to stimulate new progress. The club I trained at during my last trip had a full line of “Strive” machines which are not available at my hometown gym. These machines allow you to choose three different resistance curves on each exercise. Very cool. Since I had access to this equipment, I did a totally new routine and used more machines than usual. Although most fitness experts these days generally advise you to use more free weights than machines (and I agree for the most part), using these machines was a great change up and I could feel and see the difference.

10. Walk, bike or make physical recreation part of your travel plans

Personally, as I am already in very good shape, I usually don’t count casual walking as part of my “formal” workout (cardio) program, although it certainly might count for other people. However, it never hurts to get some extra activity and all physical activity burns calories and provides some health benefits. I’ve found that more often than not, when I am on the road, whether for business or pleasure, there are plenty of opportunities to get some physical recreation and see the sights by foot.

On a trip last year, I spent an entire afternoon hiking in the hills of a beautiful national park. On another trip, I rented a bike and rode for miles along a beachside bike path. On my recent trip, I spent an entire day walking through museums and then sightseeing. I walked for hours. I also couldn’t help but notice other people (mostly conspicuously unfit people), tooling around outside on those stand-up scooters. Funny thing too, because right next door to the motorized scooter rental was a bike rental. Which would you choose – foot, bike, or “lazy-person’s chariot?”
