Notes From Dr.Lee

Dear Colleagues,

Happy New Year to you! The year 2010 is upon us! Biologix always takes part in the longstanding tradition of making a New Year's Resolution. This year will be no different. In fact, Biologix plans to make many resolutions for the 2010 year. Many of those resolutions will directly benefit you! Here are a few of the changes to expect this year:

Starting in February 2010, Biologix will be introducing the new Biologix Insider Rewards membership program. Only our customers are qualified to join, and the elite Insider Rewards members will receive free gifts, special discounts not offered to anyone else, a dedicated phone number and email address to work with Biologix, and much, much more! Details will be available via email, and our website starting February 1 st .

As expected, Biologix will also be developing many more new products in 2010. We are expecting our PCR Tube Line to be available starting sometime in the first quarter of 2010! We know you have been patiently waiting, and we surely don't want to keep you waiting much longer. These products and many more will be arriving to the Biologix catalog soon!

We are looking forward to a successful 2010 year. I want to wish you and your colleagues a successful research year this year and Happy New year once again!

Sincerely,

Winston Lee
President And CEO

How To Make Progress, Not Excuses

Is getting more exercise one of your 2010 goals? We all know we should exercise, but many of us have what seem like pretty good reasons to avoid it. Here are some of the most common, along with some common-sense responses:

“I don't have any spare time.” The truth is that we make time for what's important to us. Schedule exercise into your day like any other appointment.

“Exercise is boring.” The key is finding something you like. Look for team sports, group activities, or interesting surroundings to keep your mind as well as your body occupied.

“I'm too out of shape.” Just don't overdo it at first. Check with your doctor for suggestions, and start with low-impact activities such as swimming or bike riding.

“I'm not fat.” Good! But exercise is about more than losing weight. You want to maintain your health, and also control cholesterol and prevent heart disease – both benefits of regular exercise.

“I don't like going to gyms.” If the gym scene isn't for you – or it's too expensive – look for an exercise routine that doesn't call for a lot of equipment, like running or lifting a few weights at home. A brisk walk helps, too.

	Few Get Help With Stress
	Stress is just a fact of life – so said 79% of the participants in a recent survey. Nearly as many said they believed stress can make people sick. In fact, 77% of respondents said they had experienced fatigue, headaches, and upset stomach as a result of stress. And for 45% of the respondents, stress had a negative impact on their intimate relationships with a spouse or partner. Though 69% of the people surveyed recognized the benefits of mental health support and stress management, only 7% percent sought professional help to cope with their stress in the past year. Here's what's stressing us out, according to the survey: Work 74% Money 73% Workload 66% Children 66% Family responsibilities 60%


	Shovel Snow Safely
	It's easy to throw out your back when shoveling snow. To avoid that fate, follow this advice: Push the snow straight ahead rather than throwing it or walking it to the side of the path. Avoid twisting and turning motions. Bend your knees to lift when shoveling. Let your legs do the work, not your back. Keep your back as erect as possible. Take frequent breaks to take the strain off your muscles.
