Seniors and Athletes Seek Natural Products to Stay in Top Shape - Herbs and Enzymes Offer New Solutions in Skin and Foot Care
(ContentDesk) May 16, 2006 -- The grocery chain, Whole Foods, is booming thanks to the increase in the popularity of natural food products.
Even Wal-Mart is shifting its produce mix to include organically grown items.
Skin care products have turned to shea butter, aloe vera and minerals, such as MSM, normally found in supplements, to appeal to seniors and fitness buffs.The foot care industry is not far behind.
Foot calluses and rough, cracked heels are among the most common problems, especially for older individuals or those with very active lifestyles.
Runners, walkers, tennis players and other athletes are particularly prone to developing calluses and other minor foot problems such as yellow, discolored toenails.
C. J. Buck, MIA of Xenna Corporation (www.xenna.com ), which distributes CalleX? Callus Ointment says, "There's an increased tendency to develop unattractive dry, cracked soles and heels as we grow older, but some individuals may be predisposed to dry skin, making the problem worse.
As far as calluses are concerned, athletes or those spending a lot of time on their feet, such as nurses and store clerks, often find calluses particularly bothersome." Dr. Jack Morgan, a Monterey Park, California, podiatrist and podiatric surgeon, notes that, "Out of every 50 patients I see, 10% have problems with dry, scaly or cracked skin on their feet and increased thickness to skin, which takes the form of either foot calluses or corns."According to Dr.
Morgan, "Among the many products for dry feet, only one, CalleX? Callus Ointment, contains natural plant enzymes, which have proven to be remarkably effective for softening and thinning calluses, exfoliating dry cracked heels and moisturizing dry, scaling skin."
Unlike most callus and dry heel products, CalleX Ointment is acid free, so it wont burn or sting when applied and is safe for diabetics.
It also includes natural peppermint oil for a refreshing scent. Calluses, which are usually associated with dry, cracked heels, develop when there is excessive pressure on a particular area of the foot.
Prevention includes wearing properly fitted footwear and avoiding tight-fitting stockings or socks.
While callused, dry or rough feet an embarrassing problem for many women, they can be a serious issue for some professional and amateur athletes, whose top performance depends on smooth feet and hands.
A number of professional football and basketball teams, including the Indianapolis Colts and the Orlando Magic use CalleX Ointment to keep their feet and hands in top condition, says Buck.All Xenna products are unconditionally money-back guaranteed.

How To Cut Your eBay Fees By More Than 90%
Now, are you ready for the REAL TRUTH about selling on eBay? It's simple; don't list too many items for sale using their auction format. Instead, set up one of their stores. The cost starts at just $15.95 per month. Why is this a good idea? Let's do the math: If you list an item for sale using the auction format, the cost is anywhere from $.35 on up to several dollars PER AUCTION. What's worse is that the auctions are only good for 3, 5, 7, or 10 days.
BETTER WAY: Sell the item in your eBay store. The listing price is just 2 or 3 cents per item...and get this...They're good for a FULL 30 days! For example, I recently sold a $500 item that I listed in my eBay store. The listing cost me a whopping 3 cents! The same item, if I'd sold it using the auction format, would have cost me several dollars! Using eBay's Auction format to list 500 items at a minimum of $.35 each = $175.00 (and these are only good for 7 days each so you'd have to list them 4 times each per month) $175 x 4 =...

Ten African Safari Tips That You Must Know Before You Go
A little bit of pre-knowledge can go a long way on an African safari trip. Here are ten indispensable tips that will improve your own safari experience greatly.1. Take the early morning drives on safari even thought that often means getting up while it's still dark. You'll be very glad you did because your wildlife sightings will improve. The animals are a lot more active in the early morning and late evening because it is cooler and the nocturnal species are either getting up or going to bed so your chances of spotting them are generally much better.
2. A safari is not only about the big game. Take enjoyment from the surroundings and all the wildlife you see because if you turn it into a "big five" tick list exercise you might be disappointed. There are a multitude of insects, birds and smaller creatures that can be just as interesting if you take the time to look and find out more.3. A pair of good quality binoculars is absolutely indispensable on a safari so make sure you take...

Your Big Yellow Bus
The big yellow school bus is coming down my road again. The neighborhood kids seem happy. The dogs are not. The kids are no longer around during the day and Jersey is going to drop a little weight without all the treats they have been bringing her this summer. I must admit that when I see the bus, I feel sorry for those poor suckers.
And I express my gratitude that I'm no longer going back to school this time of year. But I am noticing that September stirs in me the urge to learn and do something new. How long do we have to be out of school before we lose the September urge? How long does it take, how many generations must pass, before we lose our agrarian urge to harvest in the fall?As soon as the days get noticeably shorter, as soon as the nights are a little crisper, and as soon as the big yellow school bus starts appearing in the morning, I get energized to learn. I could tell it was starting last week when I bought a new hiking skirt and a batch of socks. They are soft, fluffy...
