Nourish Interactive launches a website that offers free nutrition oriented tools and games. This site is designed to help parents and children learn about the importance of nutrition and exercise in a fun way.

San Mateo, CA (PRWEB) February 29, 2008 -- Web based company Nourish Interactive™, Inc. brings innovation and creative use of technology to families with the introduction of its website (nourishinteractive.com), tapping into the trend of using online tools to teach children and their parents important information in a new way. The online site creates an environment where matching tools for both the child and parent help facilitate the learning experience as it relates to a balanced diet and exercise. Free online tools send similar messages to both the parent and child, so the entire family can work as a team to establish good nutrition at home.    

"The Nourish Interactive website offers free games and new ideas every month to teach children and parents nutritious habits for healthy living," said Michelle Mirizzi, MS, a registered dietician and nutrition consultant. "By playing these interactive games like Pyramid Puzzles, Matching Meals or Whack a Snack, children will definitely have fun learning how to create a healthy lifestyle."

Hosted by Chef Solus™ and two explorers, Katlin and Kevin, children have the option to play free online games such as "Falling Food" and "Bon Appetite Arcade." In addition, they can read about the adventures of Katlin and Kevin - such as going to the farmers market to learn about fresh produce. To supplement what children are learning, parents also receive a similar monthly newsletter. The online connectivity allows parents a window into what their child is learning as parents also learn about nutrition in a positive, interactive way. Treating the parent and child as a unit by sending consistent messaging reinforces the team effort and commitment necessary to create healthy nutrition habits for the entire family.

"There is a growing population of overweight children who are susceptible to medical conditions such as heart disease and diabetes. There are no easy answers, but after talking to many health care professionals, I realized the best solution is prevention," said Maggie LaBarbera, Founder of Nourish Interactive and a former ICU nurse. "Prevention can best be promoted through early education, and parents play a key role in their child's education. The games and tools on our website (nourishinteractive.com) are meant to be used conjointly - both parent and child learn in their own way about better nutrition, and most importantly, they will have fun while learning."

Free online tools for parents on the site interface with the child's games and resources to show parents what their child is learning, and how their activities and games are providing valuable information about nutrition, energy, and exercise in a fun, engaging way. The short, interactive educational pieces for parents explain the 2005 Food Pyramid, break-down food labels, and include a nutrition dictionary. Other tools include a BMI calculator to determine their child's healthy weight, and family tracking sheets so the entire family can set goals and measure progress. Additional resources for parents include links to websites that provide a wealth of information about good health, as well as links to websites for children that offer supplemental insight into good health.
    
About Nourish Interactive
Nourish Interactive, Inc. is committed to educating both children and their parents about the importance of nutrition and exercise, with the belief that prevention is the best treatment. Nourish Interactive has developed a learning platform that comes to life with its interactive online game that offers fun, innovative ways to empower children to make healthy choices. In creating an educational product that involves both children and their parents, Nourish Interactive acknowledges the key roles both parents play to make an effective learning experience.

US Optical to specialize in the High Tech manufacturing of FreeForm Progressive Eyeglass prescription Lenses.

Syracuse, NY (PRWEB) February 29, 2008 -- The Cotran brothers (Ralph, Ronald and Robert) have returned to the wholesale optical industry with their new company US Optical LLC, to specialize in the latest technology in eyeglass lens prescription manufacturing known as FreeForm or Digital manufacturing. US Optical will be one of the first wholesale manufacturers in Central New York and throughout the United States to specialize in this latest optical technology.

"FreeForm manufacturing maps the complete design of a Progressive lens (No line bifocal) as well as a patient's prescription and digitally transfers both on the back surface of a lens blank." The end result is that a patient's eyeglasses are ten times more precise as the complete prescription is molded on the back of the lens-and closer to the eye.

US Optical has received patent licenses to manufacture FreeForm lenses from Seiko Optical Products of America, Inc., and Shamir Insight, Inc. as well as manufacturing and distribution rights from Carl Zeiss Vision, Inc., Signet Armolite, Inc., Hoya Lens Of America, Inc., Younger Optics, Vision- Ease Lens Corporation, Xcell Optical Company, and Polycore Optical. US Optical's lenses will be available through retail stores in Central New York and nationwide. US Optical has a new 12,000 square foot state of the art facility in East Syracuse, New York equipped with the latest in digital optical manufacturing robotic technology.

About the Cotrans:
Almost fifteen years ago the Cotran brothers created the overnight service on the manufacturing of Progressive lenses with Anti Reflection coatings. They will do the same 24 hour service for the more optically advanced FreeForm Digital Progressive lenses with Zeiss Anti Reflection coatings. This will allow the retail dispensers to provide more precise optics and faster service to the consumer. Because of the better optics the consumer will adapt to this FreeForm Progressive (No line bifocal) almost instantly. Rejection rates will be close to zero.

The Cotran brothers have been in the Optical business for over twenty years and founded Optogenics of Syracuse in 1986 and grew it into a substantial operation before selling it to Essilor of America in 1999. They continued to manage this company for Essilor until they left in April 2007 to establish US Optical.

The March Ezine Edition of The Health Gazette will be published on time, March 1st, 2008. The featured article this month is a little different from usual. It is titled: Mind-Body Connection: The Medical Blind Spot. It is one of those classic cases of a huge gap between medical rhetoric and the realities of practice. The article briefly traces this problem to the historical roots of Cartesian thinking and the erroneous beliefs about modern science.

Another issue addressed in the edition is the use of natural antibiotics. We answer a reader's question about natural antibiotic use for dental infections.

The International Association of Dental and Medical Disciplines®, a professional association of dentists and physicians, allows their doctor members to provide virtually just what the doctor ordered with Aetna and CIGNA’s decisions to reimburse doctors for online visits. IADMD® welcomes doctors to take this important step to move into the 21st century and out of the patient waiting room with no traffic jams, no long waits and no inconvenience which costs the same as regular office visits.

(PRWEB) February 28, 2008 -- The International Association of Dental and Medical Disciplines®, a professional association of dentists and physicians dedicated to patient advocacy and promoting their doctor-led version of universal health care, and its founder, Dr. John J. Ryan, DMD, offer the means for new online services aimed primarily at individuals who already are patients of the doctors.

Aetna and CIGNA have agreed to reimburse doctors for these visits and many more insurance companies are expected to follow. According to Dr. Melissa Welch, Aetna’s Northern California medical director, “People can wait a long time to get in to see their primary care doctor and longer for a specialist... to have immediate access is huge.” The Los Angeles Times reports, “The virtual visits are considered best for follow-up consultations and treatment for minor ailments such as colds and sore throats.”

“We are not an IT services company; we are a chartered professional society of doctors of all disciplines that gives our members free access to our IT department as a membership benefit. We are doctors working for doctors with insight to the entire claims process from the doctors’ perspective and we are operational with private HIPAA secure servers using 128 / 256 bit encryption that allows for private patient portals for virtual visits, and online bill pay, so effectively the virtual visit and co-pay can be one-in-done,” says Dr. Ryan, a dentist in East Hampstead, New Hampshire, and a Dental Examiner for the North East Regional Board of Dental Examiners. “These sessions are custom for each doctor member in accordance to their needs. We are working privately with each doctor member and their insurers to ensure reimbursement as agreed. As patient advocacy and privacy concerns are our number one concerns, teams of lawyers have been consulted on what is needed to ensure HIPAA compliancy. With legal direction in the infrastructure, these sessions are not susceptible to tampering or leakage that could affect a patient’s employability or insurability as it is not done via email. It uses the 128 / 256 bit encryption that allow for these private patient portals to show up only the doctor’s HIPAA secure server, thus, there is no access to the data via the World Wide Web. The only way the visit can be viewed is by the doctor logging onto the HIPAA secured server to which only the doctor has access.”

IADMD® calls this a major milestone for its members who already get a free doctor web site and free hosting, online bill pay, prescription refill service, and email services using HIPAA secure technology. IADMD will continue to provide virtual services linking patients with their dentists and physicians via a secure doctors web site system that allows them to coordinate individual patients’ care with online forms, such as virtual visits, tailored to each office’s needs.

About IADMD
IADMD is an association of doctors of all disciplines united to resolve overall health care with a doctor-led universal health care model that tunnels support through their doctors web sites. Dedicated to promote, protect, and advance human life, the IADMD® mission is to gain membership of doctors and with strength in numbers help their mission to put health care back in the hands of doctors. The doctors’ web sites help doctors and physicians put patient advocacy first and keep doctors in charge of medicine and patient care decisions while communicating with one another under one umbrella. The IADMD doctor-led universal health care plan recommends allowing unbiased teams of two physicians and two dentists from the association to stand before insurance commissioners in every state, to oversee and stop problems before they happen, and to intervene and correct when they are found to have gone awry.
