Hybrid Footwear for Men; The Hottest Trend

Hybrid shoes are allowing men to dress up or down depending on the event they are attending and on a daily basis.

Los Angeles, CA (USA), October 29th, 2013 — Men’s fashion is rapidly evolving including street style as well as formal business attire. Men are becoming more and more interested in fashion that they are demanding the industry to appease their interests. One of the ways, the fashion industry is doing this is through hybrid styles. The most popular hybrid trend of the season, are the hybrid shoes. Designers and brands have been working to blend two or more different types of silhouettes in one to tackle a man who can’t be pinned to one look. Depending on the company, designers mix various fabrics as well as different styles to help men broaden their look. These are shoes meant for different styles of dress as well as different environments.

The different types of hybrid shoes include, boot hybrids, casual hybrids, and formal hybrids. All of these types could be worn by one man. That is the point; men have an ever changing style and need to express it.While many styles have already been combined, such as turning men’s sneakers into boots, the new trend is using trainer soles to create a stylish men’s comfort shoe. These come in multiple styles from men’s suede to men’s work shoes. Xcalibur Shoes is coming out with a Hybrid Air design in the S/S 2014 exactly like this. The Hybrid Air perfectly blends the sophistication of a traditional work shoe with an athletic air cushion sole.These shoes comes with the quality and design of the Xcalibur brand but are meant for men who have a more active lifestyle. Whether they walk long distances or are in need for more support, these shoes provide the ability to be sophisticated and practical all at once.

Hybrid shoes are also allowing men to dress up or down depending on the event they are attending and on a daily basis. But how would you wear these shoes? That is really up to you and your style, but if you are sporting a trendy hybrid shoe, don’t hide them under your pants. They are all the rage this season and rolling up the pants allows not only the shoe to be seen but a stylish sock as well.

As men’s fashion continues to grow, we will only see more modern editions of classic styles that men and women will both love to see. (Yes, women love seeing men in a trendy shoe.) Mixing shoe styles can be subtle or extremely evident, but it all comes back to a man’s desire to be versatile and unique in their day to day life.

What are your opinions on hybrid shoes? Do they belong in sophisticated fashion? Are they trying too hard to be different? What are the best hybrid combinations? Do you have any hybrid shoes? Is this trend going to last or will classic styles beat them out?

New Research Shows Camu Camu Superfruit Improves Obesity Biomarkers

An. Acad. Bras.Cienc. confirmed that Camu-camu was able to improve the biochemical markers of obesity in rats.

Amazonian Camu-camu fruit (Myrciaria dubia) has attracted interest from food and cosmetics industries because of its rich content of vitamin C, flavonoids and anthocyanins. The goal of the study was to investigate the anti-obesity action of the ingestion of Camu-camu pulp in a rat model of diet-induced obesity – using Wistar rats with obesity induced by receiving diet ad libitum.

The rats were divided in two groups: an experimental group that ingested 25 mL/day of Camu-camu pulp (CCG) and a non-treated group (CG). After 12 weeks, the animals were tested. Blood, liver, heart, white adipose tissues were collected and weighed; biochemical and inflammatory profiles were examined as well.

Animals that received the pulp of Camu-camu had reduced fat in white adipose tissues and improved biochemical profiles of obesity including glucose, total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL-c and insulin blood levels. There was also an increase in beneficial HDL-c levels. The research suggests there may be potential use for Camu-camu in the control of obesity and as a functional food.

According to Matakana SuperFoods founder Dr Kevin Glucina the link to obesity came as a surprise to him. “We originally introduced Camu Camu to our product range because it is nature’s number one source of vitamin C complex. We had no idea it had potential to influence other biomarkers associated with obesity. This new research is based on a rodent model so now we need to see a follow-up human trial. Clinical research revealing the benefits of SuperFoods is accelerating as public interest grows about which foods provide the best naturally integrated nutrients for health.

There is a large movement away from formulated vitamin supplements and toward Superfoods and wholefoods in general. If people realise they can get their family’s daily vitamin C requirements by adding a natural superfruit powder like Camu Camu to their daily smoothie, why would they choose to buy a synthetic vitamin C tablet that has been produced in China from corn starch? Sure, they both have vitamin C but the wholefood Camu Camu also contains a complex of co-factors, vitamins, minerals and health-supporting phytonutrients that are put together by nature to give you much more bang for your buck. Not only has our digestive system evolved with wholefoods, there are also many complex mechanisms in play in wholefoods. Camu Camu has approximately 120 different phytochemicals; just how all those phytochemicals interact for our benefit is a hot topic in scientific research. It is the synergistic interaction of the different compounds in Superfoods which may be responsible for throwing up surprising benefits like those seen in this study into Camu Camu and obesity. These complex natural substances and interactions from wholefoods and Superfoods just can’t be duplicated by chemists at this time.Personally, the only vitamin supplement I take is vitamin D3 in winter. For the rest, in most cases, I think we can get far better quality from good quality wholefood and Superfoods.

The results of the Camu Camu study are very exciting and certainly support the high amount of interest in this new superfruit. The key thing I am taking away from this research is the influence that Camu Camu had on all the obesity biomarkers like blood-sugar levels and cholesterol. Sure, the rats lost weight, but more importantly, all the biomarkers became more healthy and that’s what’s important. I am always skeptical about claims made for one food as a cure-all for weight loss. In my opinion, even though the research looks promising, you can’t just rely on one magic food like Camu Camu to save you from the obesity epidemic. Lifestyle changes, the timing of diet and exercise are the most important factors when it comes to obesity; combine that with key super-nutrients and you are heading in the right direction.

We have done a lot of work on obesity and Superfoods at Matakana – we already have a new low calorie, high-nutrient Super Shake formula with Camu Camu and other key Superfoods like chia seeds, sacha inchi protein powder, red raspberry, goji and maqui berry freeze-dried powders incorporated into it. The Super Shake is naturally sweetened with low G.I pure coconut sugar, and the delicious flavor is enhanced with pure freeze-dried blueberry, banana juice and mango powders. The Super Shake can be taken as a once-per-day meal replacement to aid weight managment or as a post-workout recharge and is a great way for families to get a wide range of natural super-nutrients for improved general health. It is a viable safe alternative to synthetic vitamins for the whole family and all the ingredients are naturally gluten, dairy, preservative, coloring and GMO free.”

Camu Camu can be purchased from Matakana SuperFoods in bulk powder or capsule form and is also incorporated into the Matakana SuperFoods “Top 10 SuperFoods Super Shake”.

beatrix privé Owner, Fashion Expert Provides Tips to Help Real Women Feel Beautiful on Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day should be a time for women to celebrate their beauty, regardless of their age or size, says Jenny Davis, a fashion stylist and the owner of beatrix privé, which specializes in luxury, plus-sized underwear.

Dallas, TX (USA), January 11, 2013 — Valentine’s Day should be a time for women to celebrate their beauty, regardless of their age or size, says Jenny Davis, a fashion stylist and the owner of beatrix privé [ http://beatrixprive.com ], which specializes in luxury, plus-sized underwear. “Every woman deserves to feel beautiful, and Valentine’s Day is the perfect time for that,” notes Davis. “Between the demands of daily life – kids and car lines, bosses and briefings, and supporting spouses, friends and family — women barely have a moment to themselves, never mind society’s impossible standards of beauty, which surround us every day.”

Davis suggests three simple, inexpensive tips for feeling beautiful, culled from her years of experience in fashion, styling both professional models for the camera and real women like an opera singer and a champion female weightlifter.

• Make an announcement. Look in the mirror and say to yourself: “I am beautiful.” It seems so simple, but Davis insists it’s transformative: “It’s surprising how powerful you feel, because you’re not only speaking these words out loud, you’re hearing them, too.”

• Control the setting. Whether you’re snuggling with your sweetie or eating sweets alone in a Snuggie, make sure you’re bathed in the most flattering light. Switch out harsh, overhead lighting for lamps with low-watt bulbs or even a collection of candles – a perfect choice for Valentine’s Day.

• Firm up your foundation. A well-fitting bra is the secret to looking thinner and more fabulous in clothes, but Davis cautions women to pay attention to the bottom half, too. Take a few minutes to try on your favorite outfits– especially that Valentine’s Day dress – to ensure your curves are smooth and your derriere is free of visible panty lines.

Davis also has a suggestion for men: “If you want to help your wife or girlfriend to feel beautiful this Valentine’s Day, spending time is more important that spending money,” Davis says. “Do the dishes, vacuum the carpet or do an odd job that she’s been putting off – and if you can do it in your underwear, bonus points for you!”

beatrix privé underwear is hand-made in the United States from high quality fabrics in bold, assertive colors and prints. beatrix privé features a signature line of one-size-fits-most thongs in sizes 16-20. The underwear is made from stretch silk charmeuse – an elegant, lightweight satin – in both silk and poly. Each pair is trimmed with a wide, stretch-lace waistband that can be adjusted to rest across the hip or midsection, which allows the garment to gently hug curves without visible panty lines.

beatrix privé is available in select boutiques and on the beatrix privé website. MSRP is $26-$32. For more information, visit http://beatrixprive.com.
