Gregory J. Daniels DDS provides cosmetic and general dentistry services to patients in the western suburbs of Chicago, Ill. With more than 30 years of experience, Gregory J. Daniels DDS has treated some of the most severe forms of oral diseases, including gum disease. According to Gregory J. Daniels DDS, recent studies have pointed to a potential link between gum disease and obesity.

 

Obesity is a health crisis in America, explains Gregory J. Daniels DDS. The CDC reports that more than 34 percent of the adult U.S. population is obese, with another 33 percent listed as overweight. Shockingly, the CDC also reveals that 19 percent of 6- to 11-year-olds are obese, and 18 percent of 12- to 19-year-olds are obese, confirms Gregory J. Daniels DDS. For some time, says Gregory J. Daniels DDS, obesity has been linked to numerous inflammatory diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes and arthritis. Only in the last several years has a connection between obesity and gum disease been explored.

Gregory J. Daniels DDS, expounds that people who are obese produce high levels of cytokines, which are proteins with inflammatory properties. Gum disease begins simply as inflammation of the gums and can progress to more severe degeneration of the soft tissue and bone structures that support the teeth, explains Gregory J. Daniels DDS. Additionally, says Gregory J. Daniels DDS, the increased inflammation caused by cytokines may also decrease blood flow to the gums and accelerate the disease in some patients. Gregory J. Daniels, DDS, also cautions that gum disease produces its own cytokines that can cause more inflammatory diseases throughout the body. Obesity and gum disease can set off a terrible chain reaction of disease if not caught and treated, says Gregory J. Daniels DDS.

In a 2013 General Dentistry article, obesity was called out as a risk factor for gum disease, confirms Gregory J. Daniels DDS. Obesity can now be added to the long list of risk factors for gum disease, which include smoking, chewing tobacco, poor oral health, broken teeth, diabetes, and more. While research has revealed a potential link between obesity and gum disease, says Gregory J. Daniels, DDS, research has not proven one disease causes the other.

While severe gum disease can prove disastrous for some, many patients are able to slow or stop gum disease in its tracks, confirms Gregory J. Daniels DDS. Maintaining good oral hygiene is one of the easiest and best ways to avoid gum disease. Eating healthy and staying away from candy and sugary drinks are also important. If signs of gum disease are present, visit a dentist and work out a treatment plan right away, encourages Gregory J. Daniels DDS.

Daniels DDS, provides cosmetic, preventive and restorative dentistry to adults and children. In his free time, Gregory J.

Dennis-Wong-Network-Marketing2

After years of achievement in the technology industry, YOR Health co-founder Dennis Wong decided to embark on a brand-new challenge. Dennis Wong and his team at YOR Health promote fitness initiatives through their impressive line of nutritional products. At YOR Health, the focus is on helping hard-working Americans achieve their health goals, according to Dennis Wong.

Q: What particular qualities were important when looking for a new product?

Dennis Wong: The product had to be timeless and personalized for consumers.

Q: What have you learned from this process?

Dennis Wong: The lesson learned was that nutrition is a more long-term and viable product than technological gadgets.

Q: How has YOR Health played a part in this revolution?

Dennis Wong: YOR Health became the first and only network marketing company focused on enzyme-based nutritional products and the digestive health segment of the market.

Q: When did YOR Health start?

Dennis Wong: YOR Health was established in May, 2008.

Q: Has the staff remained the same?

Dennis Wong: The corporate team and the constantly expanding sales team have worked together for several years.

Q: How much experience does the YOR Health staff have?

Dennis Wong: A majority of team members have been at the top level of business for more than a decade.

Q: What is the overarching philosophy of the company?

Dennis Wong: The philosophy is one of fair practices and long-term thinking. The company has been profitable year after year, but most importantly the team members have tremendous foresight.

Q: How so?

Dennis Wong: In 2011, Market Trend said that digestive health would be one of the greatest trends of the year. YOR Health recognized this trend in 2008.

Q: Why has YOR Health succeeded?

Dennis Wong: The reason YOR Health has done so well is because of great products along with a well-trained sales team. Although the company has experienced tremendous success, there’s always room for improvement.

Q: What sets the YOR Health staff apart?

Dennis Wong: The staff is proud and passionate about each and every product. Distributors have taken to selling the products in an a la carte fashion, explaining each product and its technology individually. However, this is far from ideal given the company’s network-marketing business model.

Q: How does the company combat this practice?

Dennis Wong: The company has recognized this and has begun to refine a marketing strategy. The average person with no sales experience can now achieve what network marketing promises, focusing on the three Rs: refer, repeat, residual.

Q: What was the solution?

Dennis Wong: The solution is the recently developed YOR Nutrition Delivery System (YOR NDS).

Q: What is YOR NDS?

Dennis Wong: YOR NDS is a proven method, with a patent-protected proprietary blend of enzymes tested and approved in clinical studies.

Q: How is YOR NDS in the marketplace?

Dennis Wong: YOR NDS is incorporated into the entire product line with a golden seal labeled on each of our bottles. This is what separates the company from all of its competitors.

Q: How is this different from previous business operations?

Dennis Wong: YOR NDS is the distinct YOR Health brand. In the past, the company was selling enzymes and digestive health, which promotes the industry but not the branding.

Q: How will the marketing strategy adapt going forward?

Dennis Wong: The marketing efforts will focus strictly on the brand. Most importantly, the marketing will be simple, clear and concise and to the point.

Q: Why is this marketing strategy such a priority?

Dennis Wong: Consumers want a legitimate product that works and is easy to understand. Distributors need a product that easily captivates the consumers. YOR NDS achieves both of those goals.

 

 

Richard E. Dover Updates Community on Alexander Inn Restoration

Richard-E-Dover-ZRYLW-Alexander-Inn-Update Richard E. Dover, general manager of Family Pride Corporation, the company restoring the historic Alexander Inn into a retirement living center, recently provided an update on the project during an Oak Ridge Heritage and Preservation Association meeting. The meeting took place in the Midtown Community Center in Oak Ridge, Tenn.

Richard E. Dover wants to maintain the exterior of the building, which was built as part of the top-secret Manhattan Project during World War II, at its original look, and Richard E. Dover provided details at the meeting. According to Richard E. Dover, a summary was also provided of places in East Tennessee that

have been that have been identified as the top structures of concern in each county for historical preservation.

The Alexander Inn, originally known as the Guest House, is being restored as a result of the U.S. Department of Energy’s $500,000 grant. The former inn housed some of the top scientists working on the atomic bomb. According to Richard E. Dover, the inn will be preserved to look just like it did in the ’40s.

Richard E. Dover brought the attendees up to date on the specific dates and plans for the next steps in the restoration of the historic inn. Family Pride Corporation and Richard E. Dover have their work cut out for this long awaited renovation. All the windows will have to be updated, and all the wood will need to be the same as it originally was, explains Richard E. Dover.

Richard E. Dover has requested photographs of the Guest House so he can gain as much information as possible about the original appearance of the structure. According to Richard E. Dover, photographs of the inn during the early years would be very helpful. Richard E. Dover appreciates the community’s support and interest received thus far. Richard E. Dover is very familiar with this type of work so he fully understands the requirements for historic preservation standards. According to Richard E. Dover, the renovation will take six to 12 months, and the first step is to demolish anything that is hazardous to the crew. The general frame and structure, however, are in great shape, says Richard E. Dover.

According to Richard E. Dover, the restored inn will add immensely to the historic townsite, Jackson Square. Richard E. Dover believes that even a dilapidated structure can hold a large part of a community’s history. History is what makes a community unique. Richard E. Dover believes that safeguarding the history of a place through historic preservation gives a community its personality. Richard E. Dover thinks history, including historic buildings, provides a link to the origins of the community and its ancestors. According to Richard E. Dover, historic preservation offers cultural, economic, educational and environmental benefits to the entire community. Sometimes, says Richard E. Dover, historical things just need a little dusting off. He believes that everyone profits when historic structures are rehabilitated. Family Pride Corporation is committed to protect the architectural harmony and physical characteristics of a neighborhood while supporting its improvement.

 

Bonaventure Senior Living Applauds Amazing Octogenarians | Buster Martin

With 37 campuses catering to seniors across the West Coast, Bonaventure Senior Living has witnessed time and again the accomplishments that can be achieved well into the golden years. Bonaventure Senior Living believes that age is never a barrier to accomplishment. Buster Martin, 104, is just one example.

An intriguing fellow

Bonaventure Senior Living says that Buster Martin is perhaps one of the most intriguing figures in modern history. Born in the French countryside in 1906, Buster Martin was placed in an orphanage at the age of 3 months. Bonaventure Senior Living reports that his single mother was sent to live in a convent. Buster claims his nickname was bestowed upon him after he laid a solid punch to a priest when he was 3 years old.

Buster Martin, explains Bonaventure Senior Living, was married very early. At the age of 15, his then 14-year-old bride gave birth to the first of 17 children. Between 1921 and 1924, Buster Martin fathered at least two sets of multiples, reports Bonaventure Senior Living.

Working on a whim

Mr. Martin is widely known for his staunch dedication to being employed. Bonaventure Senior Living explains that Buster joined the British Army at the age of 14, after working for two years at the Brixton market. During his time in service, he became a physical training instructor and served during World War II. In 1955, reports Bonaventure Senior Living, Martin retired from the armed forces after reaching the rank of regimental sergeant major.

After a failed attempt at what Martin called a “wide range of trades,” he returned to the market in Brixton where he remained employed until after his 97th birthday, relays Bonaventure Senior Living. Shortly after retiring, Buster Martin decided that stagnation was not for him. Bonaventure Senior Living says that London-based Pimilco Plumbers offered Martin a part-time position cleaning vans.

On his 100th birthday, Pimilco requested that Martin take a day off. However, Bonaventure Senior Living says this spunky senior wasn’t going to let a mere milestone interfere with his routine.

In 2006, after 90 solid years of employment, Buster Martin finally took some much needed time off—much to his own personal contempt—due to an ingrown toenail, which Bonaventure Senior Living agrees can be quite painful.

Muddled muggers

Buster Martin rose once again to fame in London, says Bonaventure Senior Living, when in 2007 he was attacked by three would-be robbers. Bonaventure Senior Living reports that Martin took a surprise hit from behind, which sent him to the ground, but he immediately jumped up and fought back with a fury the trio was not expecting. The cowardly criminals quickly ran away, reports Bonaventure Senior Living.

A marathon man

In 2008, Buster Martin graced the London Marathon with his presence and completed the 26-mile course in 10 hours. Bonaventure Senior Living places Buster Martin as the oldest recorded marathon contender in the world, but Guinness World Records refuses to list Martin as scant records make age verification impossible. According to Bonaventure Senior Living, Martin’s presence at the marathon allowed a local charity to receive a donation of approximately $31,400. Before he died, Martin planned to attend a number of other marathons and events, says Bonaventure Senior Living.

Although Buster Martin passed away in 2011, Bonaventure Senior Living says he remains an inspiration to both the young and young at heart. He is the subject of a critically acclaimed documentary How to Live Forever.
