NEWPORT BEACH, Calif., June 6, 2007 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- MediOmega(tm), a California-based nutritional company, announced today its introduction of the first-ever comprehensive nutritional system patterned after the heart-healthy, anti-inflammation Mediterranean nutritional profile.
The announcement coincides with the recent release of more than eight major independent and published scientific reports that verify the profound health benefits of the Mediterranean nutritional pattern. In addition, a report commissioned by the Dietary Supplement Education Alliance estimates a savings of more than $24 billion in healthcare costs in the U.S. over the next five years, based on a strategic use of specific dietary supplements, all of which are included in the MediOmega(tm) nutritional system.
Recent scientific reports include a pilot study by Emory University School of Medicine which examined a variety of risk markers for heart disease. The study compared three diets: the Mediterranean, the typical American and the typical American diet plus supplements comprised of key components of the Mediterranean diet.
Arshed Quyyumi, M.D., a cardiologist at Emory University School of Medicine, reported that participants in both the supplements and the Mediterranean diet groups improved cardiovascular risk factors, including improved function of the blood vessel lining, lower rates of oxidative stress and higher levels of repairing stem cells, with several participants in these groups losing weight as well. Although preliminary, the findings are significant in revealing the health reparative benefits of the Mediterranean nutrient pattern.
In October 2006, two studies were reported in the Archives of Neurology that underscored the anti-inflammatory benefits of the Mediterranean diet-one study led by Dr. Nikolaos Scarmeas, an assistant professor of neurology at Columbia University Medical Center in New York, and the other conducted by Dr. Yvonne Freund-Levi from the Karolinska Institutet in Stockholm.
In 2004, The Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), reported that the Mediterranean dietary approach is associated with a 50 percent (50%) reduction in all major forms of morbidity, including heart disease and cancer.
"In the United States, we have made maintaining health overly complicated," explains MediOmega(tm) founder Todd Edward Parker, a nutritional educator and advisor for more than 15 years with Metagenics, Inc., prior to developing his comprehensive Mediterranean-based nutritional system.
"Good health doesn't need to be complicated," Parker continues. "Feasting on real, delicious heart-healthy food and supplementing meals with additional, effective nutritional support is easy and simple. The comprehensive nutritional delivery of the MediOmega(tm) supplements ensure that you receive all the nutrition needed to achieve the full health benefits of the Mediterranean nutrient pattern. This is not a magic bullet, this is a comprehensive nutritional approach based on real science.
"The longest-run and most intense scientific nutritional studies in the world, and scientific studies recently featured in the news, all point to the Mediterranean nutritional pattern as the best for cardiovascular, anti-inflammatory, Alzheimer's and cancer risk-reduction and dietary therapy. The MediOmega(tm) supplements are the first comprehensive system on the market to deliver the Mediterranean nutritional pattern and its benefits. My goal was to deliver the benefits of scientific health research to every individual with one, simple system. We've done that with MediOmega(tm)."
