Radio Show Features "The Queen of Health" Cancer Topic

Radio Show Features "The Queen of Health" Cancer Topic

KHTS AM 1220 Radio show Tuesday, October 3rd 12 pm - 1pm Pacific "The Queen of Health" Cancer Topic Topics include prevention, nutrition, stats, genetics, and children’s health.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) October 1, 2006

Returning special guest co-host Tami Hulcher, health educator and nationally recognized “The Queen of Health®”, will join Ellen Como on her KHTS AM 1220 “Lifestyle and Fitness” show on TUESDAY, OCTOBER 3rd from NOON – 1pm Pacific Time. Nationwide listeners are invited to join us at www. hometownstation. com, click in to listen LIVE! “I will be dedicating this show in memory and in honor of my friend, the dearest Edith Meyer, who lost her courageous battle with cancer last month,” says Ms. Hulcher. Ellen and Tami will be also discussing children’s nutrition and the energy drink craze.

The science is clear. The results are unmistakable. Change your diet and dramatically reduce the risk of cancer, diabetes, heart disease and obesity. According to many researchers, scientists and cancer experts, only about 5% of cancer is genetic. The other 95% can be attributed to diet and/or lifestyle. This is not an accusatory statement. Here are some facts:

According to Dr. David Heber, UCLA Center for Human Nutrition, only about 5% of cancer is genetic saying that “most cancers are not inherited.”

According to the American Cancer Society and Harvard Center for Cancer Prevention, only 5% to 10% of cancer cases are genetic. A vast majority of cancers, at least 90% then, occur in people with no family history of the disease. Although we can’t change our genetic makeup, we can modify our diet and lifestyles and we can still reduce our risks of getting cancer.

According to Dr. Walter Willett, Harvard Medical School, diet prevents up to 75% of certain cancers.

According to Dr. Patrick Quillin, PhD, RD, CNS, and author of Beating Cancer with Nutrition, “40% of cancer patients actually die from malnutrition.” Proper nutrition can also improve the outcome of cancer treatment.

Ms. Hulcher is a health educator, President and CEO of Ola Loa, Inc. This “Mom on a Mission” is also a guest of television, radio, and is a writer and soon-to-be author. Her popular lecture series “Got Health?” has been seen nationwide in schools, businesses, medical facilities, private health organizations, PTAs, churches, support groups, health expos and spas. She also serves as a wellness coordinator for many health care professionals.

Who Buys Travel Insurance? Squaremouth Releases Statistics on Travel Insurance Purchases

Who Buys Travel Insurance? Squaremouth Releases Statistics on Travel Insurance Purchases

Leading Travel Insurance Comparison Site Reveals that California, New York, Florida, Texas and New Jersey residents are Top Travel Insurance Purchasers

St. Pete Beach, FL (PRWEB) September 24, 2007

Squaremouth, a leading online travel insurance (http://www. squaremouth. com) comparison site, today releases national statistics about who purchases travel insurance products. Analysis of Squaremouth's sales data reveals trends in the following categories: time of purchase; top states with residents purchasing travel insurance; travel destination; spending patterns compared between domestic and international; trip duration; trip cost; number of travelers; and consumers' ages.

The data contained in this report is intended to provide an overview of current and historical travel and travel insurance market trends, according to Squaremouth. com's CEO Chris Harvey.

Data is provided by the comparison engine Squaremouth. com and covers four years of sales statistics dating back to March 2003. Sales from 17 travel insurance carriers are represented with more than 250 products covering every type of travel insurance policy available for purchase.

This report is updated every quarter and can be found at:
Click here (http://www. squaremouth. com/press-room/who-buys-travel-insurance-squaremouth-releases-statistics-on-travel-insurance-purchases/)

Harvey says an interesting finding after analyzing several sales data components is that the largest percentage of people purchasing travel insurance are single travelers. He also stated that data revealed that travel insurance policies, on average, were less expensive for three and four travelers compared to two people traveling.

"One reason for multiple travelers' policies costing less could be attributed to trip duration and cost," Harvey explains. "Couples, particularly those who are retired, tend to have more disposable income and are taking more expensive trips."

This concept is also supported by the statistic that those travelers 50 years old and above pay nearly twice the amount for a travel insurance policy than those under 50, he adds.

Travelers with foreign trips purchase travel insurance nearly eight times more often than those traveling domestically. "Medical coverage is probably the biggest driver when purchasing travel insurance for international travels in my experience. Many U. S. health insurance policies do not cover the policy holder while abroad."

In terms of demographics, Harvey says that California, New York and Florida represent the top three states in terms of travel insurance purchases, California has by far the highest spending residents compared to others and that Mississippi residents are, on average paying the most per policy.
