NHCOA Will Host Its First Virtual Legislative Breakfast
WASHINGTON, April 26, 2023 (Newswire.com) - The National Hispanic Council on Aging (NHCOA) continues its mission to ensure a dignified life for older adult communities in the United States. As a result, it has set out to be a voice for the community and to advocate for its key challenges in order to achieve substantial, timely and favorable change for all.
To accomplish this, NHCOA will host its virtual Legislative Breakfast on May 2, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. (EST) via GoToWebinar. The event seeks to open the discussion on key issues affecting Latinos before members of Congress, who will be the special guests of this new project. NHCOA also aims to bring together legislators and constituents to discuss legislative priorities and understanding from leaders of the older adult communities in the U.S. This event aims to facilitate discussions around the preeminent matters impacting older adults today, such as improving the access and affordability of drugs to treat obesity and Alzheimer's disease, as well as the importance of vaccination schedules that include immunizations against influenza, pneumococcus and shingles.
This space will also serve to address other issues related to health care for older adults, such as barriers to access to prescription drugs, health insurance barriers, and the importance of Medicare for communities. There will also be discussions regarding access to treatment for chronic diseases such as obesity and Alzheimer's and the challenges in caring for patients with these conditions and health disparities between black and Latino communities, exacerbated by the inequities uncovered by the pandemic.
The Legislative Breakfast will feature presentations by NHCOA experts along with national and international organizations working with older adults, among others. The event is free and open to the public.

World’s Largest Grower of Healthy, Flavorful Leafy Greens Says Watercress Can Improve Mental Heath
FELLSMERE, Fla., April 26, 2023 (Newswire.com) - May is Mental Health Awareness Month, and B&W Quality Growers (B&W), the world's largest grower of healthy, flavorful leafy greens, highlights nutrition's impact on mental well-being.
Mental health and nutrition are reciprocal. What people eat affects their mental health, and mental health influences how they think, feel, and act. The latest American Medical Association poll shows that 66% of American adults understand the connection, and 81% are inclined to improve their diet to improve mental health.
Americans agree that work (70%), family stress (68%), exercise (65%), and social habits (61%) have a more substantial impact on their mental health compared to their diet (58%). But, they agree that their diet (58%) substantially impacts their mental health. Additionally, of the variables that affect mental health, diet and exercise, are the areas individuals have the most control over.
When asked how they'd modified their diet, most adults said it was by drinking more water (66%) and consuming more fruits (50%) and vegetables (53%).
B&W has a quick way to improve someone's diet with the most nutrient-dense food on the planet — watercress. Watercress is packed with 28 essential vitamins, minerals, and compounds and is the only food to obtain a perfect score on both the ANDI and CDC indexes.
In addition to being the most nutrient-dense food on the planet, watercress also scores high on the Antidepressant Food Scale because of its nutrient-dense properties. For example, watercress has more folate than a banana and more Vitamin C than an orange. Watercress is also an excellent source of highly soluble iron, zinc, magnesium, and Vitamin B. All these nutrients are related to preventing and treating depressive disorders.
Awareness is key. Everyone should also know the signs of mental health struggles for themselves and those around them. This can include a change in eating habits, both over- and undereating, insomnia, changes in energy levels, shying away from others, feelings of despair, unexplained confusion, anger, guilt or anxiety, unable to perform daily tasks, unpredictable mood swings, considering self-harm, and indulging in alcohol or other substances more than usual.
There are several circumstances that can affect mental health, but there are ways to help reduce suffering and the chance of onset. Incorporating a healthier diet is a simple way to start.

B&W Quality Growers has been farming responsibly since 1870. We're among the largest growers of distinctive leafy greens, including watercress, arugula, spinach, and ong choy.

Adaptogens are herbs that can help the body's stress response systems and improve the ability to adapt and restore after stress exposure.
"Space Tea is full of high-quality ingredients used for centuries to promote focus and mental clarity," Heymann said. "Our latest expansion enables more people to experience the potential benefits of Reishi and Lion's Mane mushroom in an amazing-tasting beverage format, and we are proud to lead the industry in this way."
According to Research and Markets, the size of the global functional beverage market was estimated at $147 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $208 billion in 2027.
Grand View Research has found that the global functional mushroom market reached sales of $26 billion in 2021, with a compound annual growth rate of 10.8% being predicted between 2022 and 2030 attributed to the growing popularity of functional mushrooms that can be found in a variety of healthcare and pharmaceutical products.
Space Tea's partnership with The Vitamin Shoppe follows a successful Space Tea launch over 390 Sprouts Farmers Market locations, one of the fastest-growing retailers in the country.
Launched in August 2021, Space Tea quickly became a bestseller garnering a substantial following across Southern California. It is also available at Bristol Farms, Earthbar, Erewhon Market, Lazy Acres, Mother's Market and Sun Life.

Intercontinental Wealth Advisors Releases Sudden Wealth Guide
In addition, Financial Advisor SaVion Harris honored as 'Top Black Rising Star of the Year' in Wealth Solutions Report's Pathfinder Awards
SAN ANTONIO, April 25, 2023 (Newswire.com) - Intercontinental Wealth Advisors, an award-winning wealth management firm based in San Antonio known for crafting custom-tailored financial strategies that address their clients' unique wealth preservation needs and multinational interests, recently announced the release of their Sudden Wealth Guide, an educational resource and comprehensive report designed to help inheritors and others who have come into sudden wealth determine what to do and what not to do after receiving a financial windfall.
"Our Sudden Wealth guide provides tips for prudent management of an inheritance or other form of financial windfall."
Howard Lutz, SVP
Intercontinental Wealth Advisors
"There are many types of financial windfalls: earning a big contract, being awarded a legal settlement, the sale of a large property, receiving an unexpected gift, selling a business, etc.," said Howard Lutz, Senior Vice President of Intercontinental Wealth Advisors. "But inheriting a considerable sum due to the death of a loved one can be a different story altogether. Whatever the reason, even though a windfall can be a blessing for your financial life, sudden wealth can be a source of stress and cause headaches if not managed properly."
Intercontinental crafted the guide with the financial health and debt prevention of recipients in mind. Key points, such as establishing and/or reviewing one's estate plan, paying off high-interest rate debt, being prudent with budgeting and saving, considering the power of privacy, honoring a loved one's legacy, not immediately loaning money to loved ones, and more are included in the guide, along with additional salient advice. Individuals who have come into an inheritance or any form of sudden money and are looking for helpful information on how to utilize a windfall to its full potential are encouraged to download the guide.
"A windfall has the potential to change your life - and your loved ones' lives - for years to come," added Lutz. "Our guide provides tips for prudent management of an inheritance or other form of sudden wealth, designed to help you through this difficult time so that you can make the most of your new situation."

SAVION HARRIS NAMED 'TOP BLACK RISING STAR OF THE YEAR'
SaVion Harris, Financial Advisor at Intercontinental, was named a 'Top Black Rising Star of the Year' in Wealth Solutions Report's Pathfinder Awards, recognizing Top Black Industry Leaders of 2023 in honor of Black History Month in February.
"The Rising Stars category specifically honors individuals who have attained remarkable achievements early in their careers, with potential to provide decades of exceptional leadership in wealth management," said Julius Buchanan, Managing Editor of Wealth Solutions Report. "Wealth Solutions Report's editorial staff selected candidates with influence, recognition, and a stellar reputation in the industry, who can serve as role models for other professionals and those considering a wealth management career, and who have demonstrated commitment and excellence in the industry."
Harris joined Intercontinental Wealth Advisors in mid-2021 after graduating from the University of Texas at San Antonio, where he played on the football team. His experience on the field sparked an interest in working with professional athletes and also led him to become instrumental in one of the first "name, image and likeness" (NIL) deals in the financial services industry, as Intercontinental entered into a NIL contract with UTSA's star safety, Rashad Wisdom.
"My ultimate goal is to help young athletes manage their money smarter from the start and to provide financial advice from a perspective that matches their own," said Harris. "You often hear horror stories about athletes burning through their money, not investing properly for the long run, being taken advantage of, and even worse. I want to change the narrative and be there to help make sure my clients are protected and reaching their goals - now and in the long term."
In addition, Harris recently joined the UTSA Alumni Association's Board of Directors, becoming its youngest member in history, where he's been focused on getting athletes more involved in Alumni Association events and activities, marketing tailgates and other events, growing the Alumni Association, and networking.
Wealth Solutions Report is a leading free media source for wealth management-related content featuring experts from the financial services industry. Their Pathfinder Awards series celebrates diversity and gives the voices of underrepresented communities a platform by awarding top wealth management executives from underrepresented backgrounds, coinciding with Black History Month, Women's History Month, Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, and National Hispanic Heritage Month.
Previously, Isidoro Korngold, Co-Founder and Chairman of the Board at Intercontinental, was awarded 'Hispanic Entrepreneur of the Year' in Wealth Solutions Report's Pathfinder Awards for National Hispanic Heritage Month honoring Hispanic Top Industry Leaders.
