Christine Heathman, LMT, ME, Author, Industry Innovator, Educator, and CEO and Founder of GlyMed Plus Institute of Skin Science, today announced the launch of her Cell Science Stem Cell Power Serum which gives skin the long-term ability to protect the longevity of cells, combat chronological aging, and gives cells the ability to act younger.

According to Christine Heathman she says the concept is as simple as comparing apples to apples by putting a regular apple on the counter with the rare Uttwiler Spatlauber apple. A regular apple will decay but the rare apple will last months longer. Simply said, if you compare a plant cell with a human skin cell you will find that they are almost identical. Christine says that this means the ingredient in the rare apple has been proven to aid cell level repair in plants and in humans.

If “love is never having to say you’re sorry,” true love must be “never letting your sweetheart consume unhealthy fats.” So says nutritionist Sue Canonico, R.D. who offers some great tips for February, American Heart Month.

“About every 25 seconds, an American will have a coronary event,” notes Canonico. “Many of the heart attacks, the most common form of heart disease, will be among baby boomers, who dated when the movie ‘Love Story’ with its memorable line about love and being sorry was in the theaters. Fortunately, there are ways to avoid the heartbreak that comes with losing a loved one to coronary disease.

Some are just simple adjustments to daily recipes, such as substituting extra virgin olive oil for butter, margarine and less healthy cooking oils. Others are focusing on additional aspects of the Mediterranean Diet, such as eating fruits, vegetables and fish, and getting in some daily exercise.”
