Prompted by customer feedback, Dorset based supplier of personalised hampers and gifts, Virginia Hayward Ltd has launched a new range of hampers to cater for recipients with special dietary requirements.
In response to customer requests for hampers and gifts which are suitable for diabetics, coeliacs, vegans and vegetarians, the product development team at Virginia Hayward have been hard at work to create a range of hampers and gifts which are not only suitable for these groups, but are tasty and attractive too, to dispel the myth that food for those with restricted diets is bland and unimaginative.
Product Development Manager, Samantha Sandison explains, “Conditions like coeliac disease have recently become much more widely recognised and as a result, not only are our customers actively looking for gifts which include suitable products, but the food industry is producing alternative foods which are of a much higher standard than we might have seen just a few years ago.
“That’s an important consideration for us, as we have always striven to include the best produce that we can find in our hampers, so now that the gluten-free, diabetic and vegan products taste just good as the equivalents we can feel confident in creating our own ‘free from’ gifts which are just as good as the rest of our range of hampers and gifts.
“We’re very excited about the potential of these gifts and hope that we can generate interest amongst the coeliac, diabetic and vegan communities so that we can expand the range further.”
The Virginia Hayward range of speciality diet hampers is currently available for sale on the company’s website.

Charis Freiman-Mendel, author of “Cook Your Way Through The S.A.T.” is seeing red, anticipating Earth Day with plans for sharing recipes and fun facts about tomatoes, a dietary staple that can be enjoyed raw, cooked, canned and in drinks. To honor the beauty of Planet Earth and promote sustainable living, Freiman-Mendel encourages Earth Day participants to think about healthy eating, nutritious meal choices and cooking with fresh, preferably organic, ingredients.
Tomatoes are cultivated around the world and are the most frequent vegetable grown in home gardens. “Tomatoes are truly ubiquitous,” notes Freiman-Mendel, perfect for Earth Day festivities around the globe. She recently discussed the health benefits of tomatoes with “Mike The Gardener” who blogs at AveragePersonGardening. Earth Day participants cooking with tomatoes can enjoy an array of shapes, sizes and color.
“Cook Your Way Through The S.A.T,” a cookbook and standardized test prep tool, contains many recipes featuring tomatoes. Eight of Freiman-Mendel’s thirty three first course recipes contain tomatoes, as do sixteen of her main course offerings. Freiman-Mendel’s recipe for ratatouille, a dish that contains a medley of vegetables, makes a logical Earth Day meal. Other tomato recipes in the book include gazpacho, chop chop salad, vegetable kabobs, rotini primavera and stuffed peppers. “Cook Your Way Through The S.A.T.” does not include any dessert recipes with tomatoes, so Freiman-Mendel recently shared a recipe for tomato pudding on her blog. Following the format used in “Cook Your Way Through The S.A.T.,” Freiman-Mendel’s blog post also included some tomato fun facts, a few vocabulary words and her recipe for fried green tomatoes.

Prices that are too high and the inability to perform repairs properly are the main reasons that car owners become dissatisfied with auto repair shops, according to a Consumer Reports subscriber survey.
Every year, the Consumer Reports Annual Auto Survey asks car owners how satisfied they were with auto repairs performed by dealerships and independent shops in the previous 12 months. This year, the findings on repair service are based on more than 67,000 reports on service visits to independent mechanics and 101,000 service visits to new car dealerships by CR subscribers.
As in past years, most car owners prefer taking their vehicles to independent shops rather than dealerships for repair work. But for the first time, Consumer Reports also re-contacted 5,400 of the respondents and asked about their specific repair gripes. Of that group, about three-quarters were either completely or very satisfied with their repair shop. But of the 27 percent who weren?t, 38 percent cited high prices as a reason. This is a more common complaint for dealerships (42 percent) than for independent shops (32 percent).
The second most-common complaint among the re-contacted respondents is even more troubling: more than a quarter of the unsatisfied group said their car?s problem wasn?t fixed properly, this gripe was reported at the same rate at dealers and independent shops.
Other gripes: Twenty-one percent of the re-contacted subscribers said it took longer than expected to complete the work, and 18 percent said they had to bring the car back because the repair did not ?hold up.? Again, dealers and independents shared the blame for these complaints almost evenly. There was a slight difference between the two types of repair shops among owners who felt the staff had treated them poorly, with 8 percent citing dealerships and four percent citing independents.
For more information regarding Consumer Reports? survey on car repair shops visit http://www.ConsumerReports.org
Sometimes, this dissatisfaction prompted owners to switch shops. Of the re-contacted subscribers, almost a quarter revealed that in the past five years they?d had a vehicle repaired at a shop they no longer use because of problems with their service experience. Almost half of that group cited that negative experience was at a dealership, a third saying it was an independent shop, and a fifth citing a franchise chain similar to Midas or Sears.
One other red flag for repair shops: A sizeable 30 percent of female respondents who stopped using a shop said they felt the staff tried to take advantage of them because of their gender.
The top reasons for switching shops: Half of the group said the shop didn?t fix the problem properly. About a third said the price was too high. Almost a quarter reported they had to bring the car back or that the shop sold them unnecessary parts or service. And one fifth said the staff treated them poorly, the shop took longer than expected to complete the work, or the price was more than originally estimated.
Tips for getting a repair performed properly:
?Describe the problem fully. Give the shop as much information as possible. Write down the symptoms and when they occur. If possible, talk directly to the mechanic who will be working on your car.
?Don?t offer a diagnosis. Avoid saying what you think is causing the problem. You may be on the hook for any repairs the shop makes at your suggestion, even if they don?t solve the problem.
?Request a test drive. If the problem occurs only when the car is moving, ask the mechanic to accompany you on a test drive.?Ask for an estimate. And have them contact you for approval if the repair will cost more than the estimate.
?Ask for evidence. If you?re not comfortable with the diagnosis, ask the shop to show you the problem parts. Worn brake pads or rusted exhaust pipes are easy to see. Don?t let the mechanic refuse your request by saying that his insurance company doesn?t allow customers into the work area.
ConsumerReports.org/carrepair offers car repair information service that can help drivers understand common problems, learn how components work, and receive a service estimate that reflects local prices. This special section includes a Car Repair Estimator and a Car Repair Encyclopedia, which can answer many common questions.
Consumer Reports is the world?s largest independent product-testing organization. Using its more than 50 labs, auto test center, and survey research center, the nonprofit rates thousands of products and services annually. Founded in 1936, Consumer Reports has over 8 million subscribers to its magazine, website and other publications. Its advocacy division, Consumers Union, works for health reform, food and product safety, financial reform, and other consumer issues in Washington, D.C., the states, and in the marketplace.

Fitness equipment shoppers often state that the reason they are looking for exercise equipment it to lose weight or to improve physical appearance. American Fitness wants to remind individuals of an important and sometimes overlooked reason to start and maintain an exercise program: heart health. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), 1 in 2 men and 1 in 3 women are at risk for heart disease. This is a shocking statistic, yet many do not even think of heart health as a motivator for working out. Exercising on elliptical trainers can mean much more that just improving looks. It can make a real difference in improving overall health. American Fitness encourages people to learn more about heart disease and how a regular exercise program can change lives.
Risk factors for heart disease include obesity, physical inactivity, poor nutrition, smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes. One of the first steps to improving heart health is getting active. Regular cardiovascular exercise that works the heart and lungs is important. This can include everything from walking around the neighborhood to working out on treadmills, exercise bikes, or rowing machines. The AHA recommends 30 minutes of moderate exercise a day, at least 5 days a week. This may seem like a big commitment, but the activity can be broken into smaller 10-15 minute chunks to work it into a busy schedule. Individuals who live in extreme climates or find gym memberships inconvenient can benefit from having a piece of cardio fitness equipment in the home. American Fitness has experience recommending elliptical trainers, treadmills, rowing machines, and exercise bikes to fit different budgets and physical requirements.
?Cardiovascular disease can have devastating effects on individuals and their families and friends,? said Ron Thompson, President of AmericanFitness.net. ?It is never too early to start taking steps for living a longer and stronger life. Regular exercise and maintaining at least a moderate level of fitness are vital for developing a healthy heart. Our fitness equipment experts can help customers choose cardio equipment to defend against heart disease and live a healthier lifestyle.?
Pursuing an active lifestyle is important for all ages. With obesity on the rise, children need to learn heart-healthy habits now to protect them from heart attack and stroke later in life. The key is to make exercise fun and accessible. One option is to join a fitness class or other organized program. Popular programs, such as interval training or CrossFit, utilize equipment like rowing machines to ensure a good cardio workout. Swimming, cycling, and dancing are other great options that can be pursued as part of a group or individually. But, the most important step is just getting started. To help promote heart-healthy lifestyles and get customers on the road to better fitness, all treadmills and elliptical trainers are available with free shipping from AmericanFitness.net.

Advertising the importance of a healthy lifestyle and regular exercise is of vital importance according to a leading weight loss organisation in London. The growth of fast food, snacking, sugary drinks and traveling by car instead of walking has sparked a change in lifestyle leading the the problems of obesity. This is why a leading weight loss clinic in London has decided to try and confront the problem head on through a more aggressive TV advertising campaign, online marketing and traditional marketing through press and radio advertising. After seeking advice from Marketing Quotes about possible routs of marketing, they have started their quest to select an advertising agency to spearhead the advertising campaigns across the UK.
A spokesperson from the clinic commented ‘we live in an instant society now, food bought pre packed, driving instead of walking, excess alcohol, smoking, the list goes long. Peoples lifestyles are the problem and radical changes are made. This can only be tackled by re-educating people, encouraging children to play outside instead of on a computer, cooking homemade soups instead of microwave meals and taking time to do regular exercise.
Anne Richards (who works with Marketing Quotes) added ‘we have many advertising agencies using Marketing Quotes that are more than capable of handling above and below the line marketing campaigns, we have advertising agencies that have worked in the healthcare and sports sectors, so certainly there are many to choose from to take on this type of campaign. It is important to get the message right if this problem is going to be addressed and changes made to peoples lifestyles.’

Aspen, CO (PRWEB) April 12, 2012
The enormously successful Younger Next Year Aspen Club Immersion weeks are coming back to Aspen in 2012?June 3rd-9th and Sept 23rd-29th.The week will be heavily based on the new YNY book, THINNER NEXT YEAR, which authors Chris Crowley and Professor Jennifer Sacheck, Ph.D. of Tufts are currently completing.
The new book is the How To Book of the Revolution in Aging. While Younger Next Year showed you overall strategy, Thinner Next Year shows you tactics. It shows you how to live the Younger Next Year/Thinner Next Year life, at the tactical, real-world level. Lots of deadly-serious, science-based detail about nutrition and weight management. Lots of detailed information about how your body works when you eat right and how your body goes haywire when you eat wrong. Highly motivational, highly detailed advice free of the gimmicks, nonsense and false promises that are common in conventional diet books.
In the same vein, there is rock-solid, cutting edge advice about aerobics and strength training exercises, which were developed at The Aspen Club. As Chris likes to say, ?The Aspen Club has been the Engine Room for the much of the YNY/TNY Revolution.? In fact, Chris developed the exercise part of the new book at the Aspen Club, with Bill Fabrocini, P.T., OCS and Riggs Klika, Ph.D. FACSM. The basic learning was developed here by them; the illustrations for the book will be created here and much of the text was first created by Fabrocini and Klika. All three of them, of course, will be leading the Immersion Week.
This new WEEK will be a ?preview-showcase? for, and will be closely based on, the new book and the new learning, both in terms of exercise and nutrition. The immersion weeks take place primarily at The Aspen Club & Spa, and are based upon Younger and Thinner, both of which explore the science of aging and how to turn back your biological clock through diet and exercise. The immersion week includes exercise programs and instruction, dietary advice, evaluations, lectures, and outdoor activities in beautiful Aspen, CO. Chris Crowley is here the entire week, motivating and participating in activities, giving talks and keeping the participants on track.
Participants in the immersion weeks may choose to stay at their own accommodations or at the Hotel Jerome, the oldest and one of the most elegant in Aspen. As part of the program, all meals will be provided at a selection of the best restaurants in town (including Montagna at the Little Nell, Jimmy?s and Nutrition Caf
