Taco Del Mar, a quick-service casual Mexican restaurant chain featuring Baja beach-style burritos and fish tacos, is honoring 2010 graduates throughout the United States this year with Taco Del Mar “Grad Bucks”. From June 21st – June 27th, 2010, graduates are encouraged to bring their 2010 tassel into any Taco Del Mar or Del Mar’s location and get “Grad Bucks” worth $2 toward the purchase of any menu item, including popular choices like the Mondo and Mondito burritos, fish tacos and enchilada-taco platters. The “Grad Bucks” certificate can be redeemed during the month of July, when Taco Del Mar will also introduce a new menu selection – crispy shrimp with spicy chipotle sour cream, only available for a limited time this summer.

“We’re proud of the nation’s graduates and wanted to congratulate them on this important accomplishment,” said Elizabeth Andreini, CMO, Taco Del Mar Franchising Corp. “It’s our gesture of support and encouragement as graduates move on to the next phase of their lives, be it more school, a job, travel, or a break. We’re thrilled to participate in celebrating this exciting time and honoring the hard work of so many.”

“Grad Bucks” are the non-cash equivalent of $2 and are redeemable at all Taco Del Mar and Del Mar’s locations from July 1st through July 31st, 2010.

Nature’s Best, one of the UK’s leading direct suppliers of quality health products and vitamin supplements, have released a new Strawberry Protein Shake just in time for the summer season, and it is being hailed as their tastiest yet.

Research shows that adults lose between 0.5 and 2% of their muscle each year once they reach the age of 40. Therefore, it is essential that you include enough muscle-boosting protein in your diet as you get older. The problem is, however, many over 50s do not get their recommended daily allowance of protein. Combine this with the fact that muscle deterioration coincides with less frequent exercise, and a serious problem could be arising.

In response, Nature’s Best has launched a NEW Strawberry Protein Shake, an easy-to-mix power drink containing 19g of high quality whey protein per sachet.

As we grow older, it is increasingly difficult to ensure enough protein is in our diets, due to a number of factors, such as the cost of protein-rich foods (meat and fish), a decline in appetite, a decrease in the ability to absorb nutrients, a change in taste preference, as well as difficulty with chewing. A protein supplement is an easy way to ensure that these advised quantities are effectively met.

The shakes are Nature’s Best most delicious yet, flavoured with real strawberries and are gluten-free, preservative-free, aspartame-free and can be consumed cold or warm, with water or with milk. Whey is one of the highest quality proteins available and contains significant amounts of all important amino acids. Whey also has a high-absorption rate and is easy to digest.

In addition to nutrition guidance, Natures Best also recommends regular exercise for the over-50s as a great way of boosting muscle strength. There are three core areas of training to focus on as you get older;

- Strength training – whereby using resistance promotes muscular contraction, which helps build muscle and improve overall health and well-being.
- Aerobic workouts – Increasing your pulse rate through aerobic exercise improves oxygen consumption by the body and thus boosting the condition of the heart.
- Stretching – Some simple stretches before and after any form of exercise improves muscle and joint elasticity and promotes muscle tone.

Nature’s Best Strawberry Protein Shakes cost GBP12.90 for 12 x 30g sachets. For more information, visit http://www.naturesbest.co.uk.
