Phiten Products - Helping you to be your best

Whether you are an avid sports player, fitness fanatic or even just a fan of anything sports, health or recreation, then you've no doubt heard about something called Titanium or Phiten jewelry.

But what exactly is Phiten?  These are the words of Mr. Hirata, President of Phiten Co. Ltd.:

Phiten was born from technology developed by Yoshihiro Hirata in body care and support items designed for patients of his chiropractic clinic in Japan. The popularity of these products quickly spread by word of mouth and demand grew to the point that Hirata quit his private practice and began developing his products to offer to the public. After years of extensive research and development, Hirata established Phiten as a company in 1983. From that point forward, Phiten grew rapidly throughout Japan and the surrounding region.

By 1998, Phiten had expanded into the U.S., offering an assortment of products in both the categories of sports and beauty. The Yuko Beauty Salon opened in Beverly Hills, California, offering a full-service salon experience as well as selling Phiten body support products and sport accessories. In 2002, Phiten opened a corporate retail store on the island of Oahu in Honolulu, Hawaii. Later in 2002, the company opened a store in Torrance, Calif. and a store in Seattle, Wash. in 2003.

In 2001, AQUA-TITANIUM® was developed, which allowed Phiten technology to be applied to a wide variety of materials. Most notably, this allowed the application of Phiten technology to fabric, which in turn made way for the creation of the iconic Titanium Necklace (known as the "RAKUWA" necklace in Japanese). The necklace became an ubiquitous item on the field at the 2002 World Cup and soon began appearing on the necks of baseball players, golfers, runners and many other professional athletes worldwide.

Today in the U.S., Phiten products are available online and are carried in over 13 major sporting goods retailers across the country. Its product lines contain officially licensed products by the Major League Baseball. The wide range of products are used by elite athletes across all sports, including baseball, basketball, football, running and golf.

Easy Way to Whiten Teeth

We all want a white sparkling smile, but we all know that teeth whitening procedures at the dentist do not come cheap and most dental insurance will not cover this cosmetic procedure.  So what does someone have to do to get to a new bright and shiny smile?

Here is something that I've found on the internet that looks promising.  This is a process that can be done with some items that almost all households already have - so cost for this is minimal.

Here are the things you'll need:

1. Cup
2. Toothpaste - Small Amount
3. Baking Soda - 1 Teaspoon
4. Hydrogen Peroxide - 1 Teaspoon
5. Water - 1 Teaspoon

Instructions:

Combine all ingredients into the cup and thoroughly mix them together.  Apply the mixture onto your toothbrush and brush you teeth as normal for two minutes - taking care not to swallow the mixture.  Do this process once a week until you have reached your desired level of whitening.  Once you have reached your desire whiteness, limit this process to once a month for maintenance.

You can expect to see result similar to the picture shown below.

IMPORTANT!  As with any kind of procedure (or any time you put anything in your mouth), if irritation, discomfort or pain occurs, discontinue use of this procedure and consult a physician or expert.
