Tips to aid digestion
Today's fast pace life style often allows little time for "sit down" leisure meals and may result in meals being missed entirely. The result is a tendency to eat and drink fast food quickly in an attempt to return to "our work". Aside from being unpleasant, this practice does not allow food to be digested and properly absorbed from the gut. Moreover, because fast food is highly processed and cooked, it contains little or no living enzymes to aid in its breakdown. If this describes your eating habits, here are a few suggestions to aid in digestion and improve your nutrition. First, try to avoid drinking large amounts with meals; excess fluid dilutes the digestive enzymes needed to break food down. Second, consider eating raw or dried fruits and vegetables ready to eat from home. These foods usually don't require refrigeration and can be kept in a desk or gym bag. Thirdly, make sure you have a lot of protein in your diet. Finally, chew food into a liquid state before swallowing, and consider taking a digestive enzyme supplement with each meal. This will begin the digestive process before the food reaches the gut, making digestion more thorough. These suggestions will result in greater nutrition from your meals without spending any more time. All that is needed is a little preplanning.
Medical Publishers facing a myriad of changes in healthcare, says futurist and health policy expert. By David Woods Keynote speaker Ian Morrison "Medical publishers will be affected by changes in the US healthcare system that include increasing costs, physician disaffection, shifts in pharmaceutical advertising, health industry demonization, and the erosion of managed care," keynote speaker Ian Morrison told the 16th annual AMPA seminar in Philadelphia in March.
Morrison, a former president of the Institute for the Future, and author of the recent Healthcare in the New Millennium: Vision, Values and Leadership , said that the public media are targeting the pharmaceutical industry, which in turn is shifting its marketing dollars towards consumers and away from professionals. "And in 2001," he said, "more than one-third of physicians claimed to be dissatisfied with practice, compared with only one in five six years earlier. Moreover 81% of doctors said that managed care plans had hurt their ability to provide quality care." In a wide-ranging and often amusing presentation, Morrison said that 'the bloom is off the rose' in terms of consumers and e-health, with a 20% re-ported decline in the internets usefulness in communications with doctors between 1999 and 2001. At the same time, he reported a rise in what he called cyberchondria, with a doubling between 1998 and 2000 (to 106 million) in the number of people seeking healthcare information on the net. Describing The Economist , the publication for which she is the healthcare correspondent, as 'pouring the oil of common sense on the turbulent waters of sensationalism'; it featured changing landscape in healthcare publishing. Medical publishers facing a myriad of changes in healthcare, says futurist and health policy expert speaker Shereen El Feki, asked why it is that despite the wealth of expert opinion, the lay press often propounds misinformation about healthcare issues. "Partly," she said, "it's the pressure of deadlines and the propensity of the popular press not to equivocate. Simplify, then exaggerate, seems to be the journalistic approach." El Feki called on the editors of medical journals to be more forthcoming in providing information to the general press, not simply to promote their publications but to be a resource of expert, including dissenting, information.  Declining ad revenues and declining attention spans were the theme of a panel chaired by Robin Bartlett, director of marketing for the American College of Physicians . Said Bartlett : "Physicians have no time; they want information that is succinct and predigested". Panelist Nancy Collins, president of Greenbranch Publishing , said she thought book publishing is in jeopardy but that medical publishers still have a wealth of information to be mined. Dr. Jon Adler added to that theme, saying that publishers can leverage content through multiple media; and Paul Walsh noted that the use of PDAs by physicians, even though they are constrained by the amount of content they can hold, has created a market for 'information on the fly.' Dr Bernard Rosof, chairman of ACP-ASIM's board of regents, member of a panel titled Ask the Experts , added that 67% of physicians will have hand-held computers by the end of this year. Fellow panelist William Kelly, president of Bioinformatics , cast a gloomy note, saying that for-profit publishers have a dissatisfied customer base; and Tammy Lin, a resident in internal medicine, said "It's not enough to deliver content; it has to be organized, customized, sliced and make me a better doctor. Moreover, information should be integrated into the work schedule on an as-needed, on-time basis with more detailed follow-up material provided by e-mail". A panel on the evolving role of medical societies, chaired by American Academy of Pediatrics director of marketing and publications Maureen DeRosa, also found that declining ad revenues are an issue as are retaining membership, meeting budgets, and optimizing staff resources. Panelist Susan Gay, president of Infobrand and immediate past president of AMPA , said that now is a good time for interaction between societies and commercial publishers, with the latter helping to establish the formers' brands. The annual seminar attracted over 120 attendees and eight exhibitors. Next year's annual seminar will be held early in March. At its regular meeting the AMPA Board voted to contract the length of the annual seminar from two and half days to two days, starting on Sunday and concluding on Monday evening.
