Cardiovascular disease, strokes and high blood pressure are just a few of the major health problems people suffer from today.<br />
<br />
Medical research has shown that the traditional Japanese food natto contains an enzyme called <strong>Nattokinase</strong> which can reduce blood clotting, improve blood circulation and may also have a cholesterol lowering effect. It also contains a large quantity of Vitamin K2 which assists in the formation of bones and preventing osteoporosis.<br />

		<content mode="escaped" type="text/html" xml:lang="ja"><![CDATA[People who enjoy nail art are increasing in number these days and so is the chance of damaging the nails. <br />
The chances of damaging the nails increases with decorating them with manicures, inlaying pearls/stones or placing artificial nail tips on top of the nails; not to mentioned that each time a nail tip is placed, the thickness of the nails decreases together with constant buffing and filing.<br />
<br />
There are other factors that contribute to damaging the nails, such as: dryness, peeling and cracking of the nail its self and its surroundings.  Also there are causes of external factors that include diseases and infection. <br />
<br />
We, H.E.C. GROUP INTERNATIONAL, would like to propose you the ultimate nail care product named <span style="color:#F87373"><strong>NAIL CAVIAR</strong></span>.  Just pop a couple of capsules on top of your nails and massage them gently. You will experience the real meaning of nourishing and spoiling your nails.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.hecgroup.com/english/products/cosmetics.html#top" target="「<span style="color:#F87373"><strong>NAIL CAVIAR</strong></span> </a>  will be out in the market on March, 2008.]]></content>

Nagoya: November 10 and 11<br />
Shinsaibashi(Osaka): November 17 and 18<br />
<br />
Our wish was to give customers the opportunity to find out about and to try our new product “<strong><span style="color:#96C100">irator</span></strong>”, which is a supplement that relaxes the brain.  The try-out was led by a tasting event.<br />
The event was held for a total of 4 days at both Nagoya and Shinsaibashi and the reaction of the customers to the “<span style="color:#96C100"><strong>irator</strong></span>” was more than we expected!<img src="http://www.hecgroup.com/cgi-bin/en_news/img/img3_file.jpg" class="pict" alt="Tokyu Hands, Nagoya" title="Tokyu Hands, Nagoya" width="190" height="170" /><br />
<br />
At the tasting event, we heard comments such as: “I can’t recover from tiredness”, “I can’t seem to relax with non-supplement health products”, “I have been under a lot of stress”, “I can’t get a good night’s sleep” and many similar situations that can cause, or are a symptom of, stress in people’s daily life.  We believe these are the reason to why there is an increasing demand for effective products that support mental and physical health.  We would also like to add that not many people are aware that stress can be decreased by <span style="color:#F87373"><strong>relaxing the brain</strong></span>.<br />
<br />
Our wish is for “<span style="color:#96C100"><strong>irator</strong></span>” to be the supplement that can relax and help everyone in some way.  We would also like to make an effort to keep on developing new products that can improve our customer’s life. <br />
<br />
Thank you very much for visiting our tasting event.]]></content>

<br />
The report on the “National Life 2004” by Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare in Japan indicates that 49.1% of the Japanese nation over 12 years of age for both male and female faces with stress or anxiety in their daily life.  If we take a close look at the situation, declining health status and frequent diseases are causes mainly from the above mentioned stress.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.mhlw.go.jp/toukei/saikin/hw/k-tyosa/k-tyosa04/3-6.html#top" target="_blank" >http://www.mhlw.go.jp/toukei/saikin/hw/k-tyosa/k-tyosa04/3-6.html#top</a><br />
<br />
In the summer time, we tend to be fatigued which leads to stress. These symptoms can enhance and accumulate stress due to changes in temperature as we enter and out of an air-conditioned atmosphere.  The consciousness of stress is hard to evaluate on our own but it could direct us to loss of appetite, luck of sleep, chilliness of hands and feet even in warm temperatures make us irritate.<br />
<br />
Measures to prevent stress are as below:<br />
1. <span style="color:#F87373"><strong>Not to set the temperature of the air-conditioner too low.</strong></span><br />
2. <span style="color:#F87373"><strong>Avoid to be exposed to the air-conditioner for long hours.</strong></span><br />
3. <span style="color:#F87373"><strong>Obvious but try your best to avoid stress.</strong></span><br />
<br />
For those who find it difficult to let out your stress, we will release a new product in September which we hope to serve you then.]]></content>
