The survey from MetLife, the largest life insurer in the US, found that 70 percent of employers who offer wellness programs saw them as a "very important tool for employee retention." . One thousand, three hundred and eighty full-time employees and 1,652 managers were surveyed across mix of industries and geographic regions, MetLife said. Fifty-seven percent of employers with 500 or more workers provide some sort of wellness program such as smoking cessation, weight management, an exercise plan or cancer screening. Only 16 percent of smaller employers do, the survey found. And about four out of five employers with wellness programs add incentives, with 40 percent offering gym memberships, 36 percent awarding gifts or prizes and 27 percent offering a discounted employee contribution to medical plans. Only nine percent of employers impose financial penalties on employees who do not meet wellness guidelines, a percentage that has remained steady for two years. New York City-based MetLife carries $3.3 trillion in policies.

Author: Healthcare Added: Mon, 06 Oct 2008 20:33:51 -0800 Duration: 250EmploymentCrossing.com AIDS activists and Democratic leaders are concerned that the Bush Administration has refused to act to lift a ban on HIV-positive persons entering the United States. On July 30th the president himself signed the bill that reversed the 15-year ban. "We write to encourage you to act quickly to remove HIV from the list of communicable diseases of public health significance and end the HIV travel and immigration ban," 58 senators told Health and Human Services Secretary Michael Leavitt. Democrat John Kerry of Massachusetts and Republican Gordon Smith of Oregon were the main backers of the measure. The new law creates a five-year, $48 billion program to fight AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis around the world, and to end the ban on HIV travelers. But the ban is still in effect, because the Department of Health and Human Services has failed to take steps to update their rules. "We're working hard to revise the regulation and it's our goal to have it completed during this administration," said HHS spokeswoman Holly Babin. She said it was "a time-consuming process and we are giving it the attention it deserves in an effort to anticipate all issues and get it right." The ban has kept out thousands of students, tourists and refugees, and complicated the adoption of children with the HIV virus. No major international AIDS conference has been held in the United States since 1993, because activists or researchers who have the virus can't gain entry. Foreign nationals in the US with the virus might not seek treatment for fear of being deported. Other nations that ban the entry of HIV patients include Libya, Saudi Arabia and the Sudan.

The trillions of cells in our bodies produce the energy that keeps us alive. As they process food and oxygen to create energy, they also release dangerous molecules called free radicals or oxidants. These oxidants can do a lot of damage. What happens inside our bodies is similar to what happens to an apple when it is cut open and exposed to oxygen: it turns brown because oxygen is corrosive. Our bodies have a defense mechanism in the form of antioxidant enzymes, which neutralize free radicals. This defense mechanism works well until our 20's, but as we get older our cells produce more free radicals than our defenses can neutralize. Oxidative stress caused by free radicals has been linked to over 200 illnesses, so this is a major medical concern. Some experts predict that people will soon monitor their oxidative stress as routinely as they are now monitor cholesterol. Scientists have been researching ways to boost our natural antioxidant enzymes. A diet rich in fruits and vegetables helps, but many experts say it's not enough. This segment discusses a nutritional supplement called Protandim, which has been shown to be very effective in maintaining cellular health. Protandim contains 5 herbs that have been used in ayurvedic medicine for centuries. After 3 months of taking this supplement, a 78 year old man was tested and his cellular health was shown to be similar to that of a 20 year old.

Deepak talks about the power of intention. Intention is a force of nature, like electromagnetism. Intention orchestrates its own fulfillment. If you want intention to work for you, you have to have clarity about your intended outcome. You must feel it, see it, taste it, smell it ... be it.
