KASSEL, Germany, June 3, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Biozoom (BIZM),
Attila Hildmann, Germany's most
famous vegan chef and bestselling cookbook author has issued a new
fitness challenge to coincide with the release of the new book,
Vegan Forever Young. Over 60 days, 250 people will follow
the principles and recipes from Vegan Forever Young,
including exercise and 30 minutes of meditation each day.
Participants are expected to lose weight, feel more comfortable and
improve their overall health and wellness. Their progress will be
measured using the Biozoom health scanner. "The Biozoom scanner is
ideal for monitoring the health improvements that will come from
adhering to the challenge," said Hildmann. "Having used the scanner
myself, I know it will provide an important measurement that will
help the participants stay focused and track the results of overall
health improvement."
"We've agreed to work with Attila Hildmann on this ambitious
Vegan Forever Young challenge because we are dedicated to
helping people improve their overall health and wellness by using
our biofeedback health scanner," said Biozoom CEO, Hardy Hoheisel. "When health conscious people
see the instant Biozoom scan results, they often become
addicted—finding greater motivation and positive reinforcement to
make lifestyle changes. I believe this is something we all want as
we work hard to live longer and healthier lives for ourselves and
our families."
Considered the Jamie Oliver of vegan cuisine, Hildmann's first
two cookbooks, Vegan For Fun and Vegan For Fit, were
both awarded Best Vegetarian Cookbook of the Year by the Vegetarian
Society of Germany. A television
celebrity in Germany, Hildmann's
books now also appear in the United
States and Canada. In 2012, Hildmann created the Fit
Vegan challenge, in which 100 people switched to a vegan lifestyle
for 30 days. The participants in that challenge lost more than 1000
combined pounds, and reported improved wellness in the form of more
energy, fewer illnesses and greater mental clarity. "The
participants stayed with the program the entire time, and left
problems like eczema, irritable bowel syndrome and migraines
behind," said Hildmann.
The 2013 Vegan Forever Young Challenge will add an entirely new
objective measure of improvement: biomarker analysis using the
handheld, non-invasive Biozoom scanner. Modern national science
consistently recommends a balanced, plant-based diet to effectively
protect against heart attack, cancer and stroke. A plant-based diet
is rich in antioxidants, widely considered to play an important
role in both maintaining health and wellness and in combatting the
effects of aging.
Biozoom offers the first practical way for consumers to measure
their own antioxidant levels. While laboratory-based blood tests to
determine antioxidant levels exist, they are expensive, invasive
and impractical for use outside of a clinic. The Biozoom scanner is
a breakthrough in anywhere, anytime wellness management. With a
simple click of a button, the Biozoom scanner reflects a beam of
light off the skin and measures the wavelengths of key biomarkers,
including antioxidants. The scanner has been proven effective in a
number of clinical trials in one of Germany's most respected teaching hospitals.
These studies show the scanner to be as accurate as lab-based
machines, and that using it can help people modify their lifestyle
behavior and improve their wellness. "I am grateful to Biozoom for
making the scanner available to us," said Hildmann.
