Nitin Chhoda, a co-creator of the Fat Loss Ignition System (FLI) says, ?Diabetes complications can cause damage to eyes, feet, kidneys and the nervous system. It is designed to help people control glucose levels and lose weight at the same time.?
The Fat Loss Ignition system was developed by fitness professional, Arnel Ricafranca, in cooperation with well-known physical therapist, Nitin Chhoda. This program is helping users control insulin levels that govern how sugar and carbohydrates are utilized within the body, while liberating stored fat.
Foods are converted to glucose in the body, which is a form of sugar that utilized as fuel to power every activity that an individual performs, from sleeping to intense exercise. To convert glucose to energy, the body creates the hormone insulin. If there?s an insulin imbalance or absence, food isn?t utilized efficiently, it?s stored as fat, and can lead to diabetes.
The FLI system provides users with an extensive variety of recipes that aids in controlling glucose levels that can result in diabetes-related conditions ranging from heart attack and high blood pressure to kidney disease and blindness. The program ends unhealthy cravings and energy crashes that are often experienced by those with diabetes.
In FLI, there is no calorie counting required and the system removes toxins from the body that inhibits the loss of stored fat reserves. It accelerates the metabolism and exercises that facilitate fat loss are provided. When food is consumed is just as important as what?s eaten and the program helps users plan meal times that helps regulate insulin levels.
Users of the program receive a free calculator to show how much weight needs to be lost based on age, gender, height and body frame, the Fat Loss Ignition manual, and a quick start guide. Tips and information is offered to manipulate insulin levels with meal timing, and the Supermarket Survival Checklist walks users through healthy food choices. Also included are Exercise Cheat Sheets, a journal for tracking exercises, and an all-access family pass to the FLI Score Calculator.
With the Fat Loss Ignition system, Chhoda and Ricafranca have developed a way of regulating and manipulating glucose levels, a critical step in preventing and controlling diabetes and its many health complications. An added benefit of the FLI program is the ability to lose 10 percent of unwanted body weight in 28 days. The program helps detoxify the body, while stabilizing insulin and glucose levels for weight loss that?s easy and quick.

Palo Alto, CA (PRWEB) November 10, 2011
To meet the culinary challenge of appealing to senior taste buds with healthy versions of familiar foods, Home Care Assistance, North America?s leading provider of non-medical, in-home senior care, and Sur La Table, are hosting innovative cooking classes for caregivers. A new class kicks off today at Sur La Table in Palo Alto, CA.
Home Care Assistance initiated the classes as part of its commitment to improving the lives of seniors through its Balanced Care Method? (BCM), an approach to caregiving based on the positive health practices of the legendary centenarians of Okinawa, Japan. Proper nutrition is a key component of BCM which emphasizes five main elements: healthy diet, physical activity, mental alertness and social ties, as well as maintaining calmness and purpose.
?We invest in training our caregivers because we want our clients to enjoy longer, happier, healthier and more balanced lives,? said Kathy Johnson, PhD, CMC, Founder and CEO of Home Care Assistance. ?Through these new cooking classes, which are unique in our industry, we?re teaching our caregivers to prepare foods that bring back childhood memories while also emphasizing wholesome, seasonal ingredients.?
?We encourage the caregivers to come up with their own food ideas,? said Gale Tan, resident chef at Sur La Table who oversees the culinary program and manages chef instruction. ?And we also recommend that they listen carefully to their clients and find out about their dietary preferences and restrictions.?
The monthly classes, taking place at Sur La Table in the Palo Alto Town and Country shopping center, will cover a full range of diet-related issues faced by seniors. To boost the nutritional value of these comfort foods, Home Care Assistance caregivers serving clients in the South Bay and Peninsula are learning how to enhance food flavors with herbs and spices, instead of relying on unhealthy options like butter and salt.
They will also gain experience with techniques such as steaming, stir-frying and cooking in parchment to stimulate the taste buds, and improve the appetites and diets of aging adults who often turn to processed foods or dinners heated in the microwave for their daily meals.
?The Sur La Table cooking class was really helpful,? said Home Care Assistance caregiver Genise Pelaiz. ?The recipes they put together were easy, fun and delicious. More importantly, we learned that we didn?t have to rely on frozen prepared foods. We could easily provide tasty, nutritious meals for our clients, since they don?t tend to keep a lot of ingredients on hand. For one client, I cooked roasted vegetables and potatoes with a little seasoning in a toaster oven and, while it sounds simple, she was very pleased.?
Caregivers in the Sur La Table cooking class will get to try out healthier recipes for old favorites such as tuna casserole and chicken noodle soup. And they will learn the latest information on incorporating ?super foods? into daily diets; for instance adding sources of omega-3 fatty acids like flax seed to salad dressings, or topping pancakes with antioxidant-rich blueberries.
?We want all of our caregivers to be familiar and comfortable cooking basic healthy fare,? Dr. Johnson added. ?We want them to know they can go into a client?s kitchen and whip up a decent meal. And our caregivers get a kick out of learning that cooking is an art, it?s not just about following a recipe.?

Fall means fairs, festivals and food. Its harvest season for items like apples, corn and pumpkins and the promotional product experts at 4AllPromos has many ideas to keep its customer?s healthy this fall.
It?s true what they say, an apple a day can keep the doctor away. Research from the American Cancer Society suggests eating apples regularly can prevent colon, prostate and lung cancer. Apples contain antioxidants and a significant amount of fiber. Eating apples can also help with weight loss and lower the risk of heart disease. Apples are a popular ingredient at fall fairs and festivals. Apple crisp, apple fritters, apple donuts, apple pie or candy apples are just some of the ways to get a serving of the healthy fruit. Doctors, nutritionists, school nurses or teachers can help children and adults make healthy choices this fall by promoting the importance of apples with promotional products including sticky notes, jar openers, magnets or key chains.
Corn is another popular fall food staple. Corn on the cob, popcorn and kettle corn are just some of the delicious ways of the popular vegetable. Corn is a good source of Vitamins B, C and E as well as the minerals magnesium, iron and Zinc. Corn is also a very good source of fiber and eating it regularly can help prevent colon cancer. Fair organizers can remind visitors about the healthy benefits of corn by packing popcorn in custom imprinted recyclable bags complete with nutritional facts. The Champion Corn Butterer evenly spread on a light serving of butter to help make corn on the cob even more appetizing. Add spices or seasoned butter to spice up the savory side dish.
Another popular fall fruit is the pumpkin. Pumpkins can be used for pies and soups. The seeds can be seasoned and roasted for a healthy snack as well. Pumpkins also contain a lot of fiber and pumpkin seed oil helps to maintain healthy blood vessels and tissue. Carve a pumpkin for Halloween and save the seeds or innards to make a healthy snack.
Stay healthy this fall with in season fruits and vegetables. Promote businesses and healthy habits with kitchen items such as measuring cups to help with portion control, vegetable peelers or graters, potholders or spatulas. Lunch containers with separate compartments also make great giveaways. Healthy snacks and lunches can fit neatly into the compact containers.
4AllPromos has plenty of promotional products for the fall. Stay active with products such as pedometers, stress balls, Fribees, water bottles and more. Visit 4AllPromos.com to find the perfect promotional product for every fall, Halloween or healthy event.
