This is the tale of an invention rendered ineffective because of corporate greed. Strictly speaking, it’s not a physical education issue, but it does affect any teacher who packs a lunch for school or team trips. What invention am I talking about? Plastic food storage containers. I’m the king of leftovers. I eat them for most lunches. And when I pack for team trips, I usually pack my travel munchies in a plastic storage container so they don’t get scrunched.

Botanicals to Support the Endothelial Glycocalyx and Vascular Health

Designs for Health

Emerging research has been exploring the relationship between vascular health, certain botanicals, and the endothelial glycocalyx (EGX). The EGX is the first line of defense in the vessel walls. It is a thin gel-like layer that lines the endothelium — the layer of vessel walls that separates the tissue from the circulating blood.
