ABBOTT PARK, Ill., June 25: A new Harris Poll survey finds the majority of adults in the U.S. who exercise intensely understand the importance of maintaining hydration throughout a workout (93%) and that hydration is important for muscle recovery (89%), yet many have misconceptions about the type of hydration that may impact their ability to perform and recover optimally. The survey conducted for Abbott (NYSE: ABT) found 46% of people who report regular, intense exercise at least three days per week believe that energy drinks and soda can aid in rehydration after a strenuous workout. This conflicts with guidance from the scientific community that these drinks can contribute to dehydration due to large amounts of sugar and insufficient levels of electrolytes. Understanding the Science Behind Hydration and Its Impact on Performance During a workout, dehydration occurs when fluid losses – whether from sweating, increased core temperatures or even breathing – exceed fluid consumed thro...

LONDON, June 25: From June 30th, British travellers will be able to travel to the Commonwealth of Dominica without the need to quarantine on their return, as announced in the latest review for the United Kingdom's green travel list.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., June 25: A special report from Wounded Warrior Project® (WWP) shows that women warriors who experienced military sexual trauma (MST) are nearly three times as likely to experience moderate to severe symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), compared to women warriors who did not experience MST. The research is presented in a WWP white paper, Women Warriors: Understanding PTSD Risk in a Rapidly Growing Population. With PTSD Awareness Month in June, WWP is analyzing the risk factors that contribute to PTSD symptoms in women veterans registered with WWP.

HOUSTON, June 24:Attorney Brenda DeRouen, is the founder of DeRouen Law Firm, the 1st African American women-owned, and women operated law firm in Houston. Like many law students, Attorney DeRouen attended law school with the dream of starting her career at a major law practice and progressing within the firm. However, as fate would have it, that was not in the cards for her future. Instead of allowing the rejection of not being able to secure a position at a major law firm to discourage her progression, Attorney DeRouen took her circumstances and made something out of nothing. Attorney DeRouen decided to start her own law firm, with drive and determination. That same drive and determination assisted her in successfully starting her practice, but also securing more revenue/business in a year than a first-year law associate.

TAIPEI, June 24:To keep enough probiotics alive in products, sellers and consumers must meet the storage conditions, especially storage temperature. Since most live probiotics can only survive in a low-temperature environment, most probiotic products, especially lactic acid bacteria beverages, are required to be refrigerated from the time they are produced until they are consumed. Besides, these beverages usually only have a short shelf life of about 2 weeks. Nevertheless, after 20 years of research and development, TCI JAPAN's SCIENCE OF PROBIOTICS finally broke through the existing limitations and found new ways to create quality probiotic beverages with high CFU counts that can be safely stored at room temperature. Probiotics account for an increasing share of the global functional food market as the idea of "replacing 'bad' bacteria with 'good' ones to improve health" becomes commonly accepted. Among all commercially available probiotics, lactic ac...
