Viatek Expands to Technologically Savvy Chattanooga

Although Walker Cronkite once reported Chattanooga, TN as one of the "dirtiest" cities in America, Chattanooga has regained its reputation as not only an environmentally friendly city, but a technologically savvy city. In a recent report on CBS This Morning, Sheldon Grizzle, the Co-founder of Co.Lab, stated that more start-ups and entrepreneurs are calling Chattanooga their home for one specific reason: high speed internet. Believe it or not, Chattanooga is home to the highest speeds in the Western Hemisphere and is far more advanced than the rest of the country. In fact, in recent years, Chattanooga has developed the blueprint for the future.

So how does Chattanooga deliver such high internet speed? The secret is gig and EPB's fiber optic network. EPB's entire 600 square mile service provides businesses and home-regardless of income or geographic location-access to internet speeds up to 1 gigabit per seconds. Since the gig was launched, entrepreneurs from all over the world have traveled to Chattanooga to test how far it will go including Viatek Consumer Products Group, a company that sought to expand its offices in 2011.

With continued research, Viatek President Lou Lentine decided to open another office in Chattanooga, a city that has been named one of the top place to live for its rich culture, beautiful landscapes, and business opportunities. And those who have lived or visited Chattanooga couldn't agree more. "Chattanooga has a strong sense of community, handsome natural landscapes, civic pride, and the ability to solve problems that are often daunting to bigger cities." (NPR, Morning Edition)

 For the last two years, not only has Viatek expanded its business in Chattanooga, but has become the epicenter for design, development, and distribution. Viatek has hired over 20 employees and plans to hire 20-30 more throughout 2013. Among the available positions, Viatek is looking to fill administrative, warehouse, and assembly positions to aide in their continued growth. This year alone, Viatek President Lou Lentine is planning on opening a larger warehouse to not only develop innovative products but manufacture them here in Chattanooga.

Viatek at IHA 2013, Booth L11050



Visit the Viatek Booth at the International Home + Housewares Show March 2-5! 

Where: Lakeside Center, Wired & Well Expo, McCormick Place
Chicago, IL 
Booth #L11050

Products to be unveiled at show:

Breezie:

Stay cool with the Viatek Tabletop Bladeless Fan! Sleek and stylish, it features the latest in bladeless fan technology, delivering a cool smooth stream of air without the unpleasant buffeting sound associated with fan blades. Give yourself peace of mind knowing its kid-friendly and safe for use around pets. No blades to catch tiny fingers or wagging tails! The Viatek Tabletop Bladeless Fan runs on 4 AAA batteries or the included USB plug. By utilizing the USB plug, the Breeze Tabletop fan uses only half the energy of a conventional fan. 

Total Juicer Elite:

The Viatek Total Juicer Elite produces more juice and retains up to 60% more vitamins than ordinary juicers. It is designed with an augur mechanism that presses the juice, rather than grating or shredding the food. Because it operates at a low speed, vegetables and fruit retain more heat-sensitive vitamins like vitamin C. 

Most juice extractors on the market today chop, shred, and strain; a method that generates low yield and wastes much of the valuable nutrients in food. The Total Juicer Elite is different, utilizing a masticating and pressing method of extraction, much like that employed by wine makers for thousands of years. 

Additional Features of Total Juicer Elite:

 Healthy: Works with any kind of fruit or vegetable

Versatile: Juices fruits, vegetable, leafy greens, wheat grass, nuts, and soybeans

Dual Stage: Crushes contents before pressing and ejecting pulp

No-clog design: Built-in rotary brush cleans as it juices and pulp is automatically separated.

Health Risks Associated with Microwave Popcorn

Everyone loves the smell of freshly popped popcorn, but did you know there are several health concerns surrounding microwave popcorn? Not only is microwave popcorn high in calories, fat, and sodium, but is now linked to infertility, cancer, and lung disease. But before you give up your favorite snack, please note that there are healthier and safer alternatives such as the EZ Popcorn from Viatek Consumer Products Group.

Diacetyl, used to flavor popcorn's artificial butter has been shown to cause lung disease among several workers in popcorn factories. According to the New York Times, when diacetyl is heated it becomes a vapor. When inhaled over a long period of time, diacetyl enters the small airways of the lungs causing them to become swollen and scarred. "Sufferers can breathe in deeply, but they have difficulty exhaling. The severe form of the disease is called bronchiolitis obliterans or 'popcorn workers lung' which can be fatal." (nytimes.com)

53 year old, Wayne Weston of Colorado discovered with the guidance of Dr. Cecile Rose, a lung specialist from the National Jewish and Medical Research Center in Denver, Colorado, that his microwave popcorn habit may have been the cause of his health problems. Weston told Dr. Rose that he had eaten microwave popcorn at least twice a day for ten years. "When he broke open the bags, after the steam came out, he would often inhale the fragrance because he liked it so much," Dr. Rose said. "That's heated diacetyl, which we know from the workers' studies is the highest risk." (nytimes.com)

To support her hypothesis, Rose conducted studies at Weston's home by measuring the levels of diacetyl in the air after he made popcorn. She soon discovered that the levels of the chemical were similar to those in microwave popcorn plants and advised him to stop eating microwave popcorn.

Although he was initially upset he had to give up his favorite snack, he followed her advice. Six months later, Weston had actually lost 50 pounds and his lung function not only stopped deteriorating, but improved. While there is not definitive casual link between the two, Dr. Rose concludes that it raises a lot of questions.

Eating microwave popcorn however, is not believed to be harmful. The real danger comes from the fumes given off in the cooking process. So what do you do if you love microwave popcorn but do not want to expose yourself to risk? The EZ Popcorn Maker from Viatek Consumer Products Group allows you to pop healthy jumbo popcorn without the dangerous chemical diacetyl. What's more, the EZ Pop is manufactured with FDA food grade plastic which does not contain dyes or recycled plastic deemed harmful to humans.

Not only is the EZ Pop a safer alternative, but a healthier alternative. Unlike microwave popcorn bags, the EZ Pop allows you to control the amount of butter and salt you use, eliminating extra calories and harmful chemicals.

Suggested retail of the EZ Popcorn is $9.99 and can be purchased at www.viatekproducts.com

Total Juicer Pro: The Benefits of Juicing

There's no denying that America is on a serious health kick. Whether its logging hours on the treadmill or filling grocery carts with leafy greens or vegetables, it appears that everyone is taking a stance on achieving optimal health by eating clean or juicing. Popular slogans such as "Eat Clean, Live Clean" are no longer personal mantras for the health savvy and conscious but the average Joe trying to lose the last ten pounds. And why not? The health benefits associated with eating clean and juicing are tremendous.



With that being said here are 5 things you need to know about juicing:
[Source: MindBodyGreen]

1. Aim to drink two glasses a day. Most people find that eating large quantities of vegetables is, at best, a bit of a chore and, at worst, screamingly boring, but the full, health-giving benefits can be easily accomplished by a quick glass of vegetable juice, aim to drink at least two.

2. Juice is not a smoothie! A juice is a drink made using a juice extractor which provides all the liquid without any of the fiber. A smoothie is made by mixing whole ingredients into a pulp into a blender. For a pint of juice, you'll use three times more vegetable than you would for smoothie, which means you're receiving three times more of the good stuff--the life-giving vitamins and minerals.

3. Juice your vegetables. Eat and/or blend your fruit. Fruit is sweet and if you remove the fiber, it becomes even more highly glycemic. Not good! You may find yourself suffering from mood-swings and increased cravings for sweet food like sugar and carbohydrates--those chocolate bars again!) Also it's already easy to eat 3-4 fruit a day-and delicious as well. So why bother? Its the juice of green vegetables from which you will benefit the most.

4. Why Greens? Chlorophyll is the magic ingredient. It's the pigment responsible for green color in plants. It enables them to "trap" energy from sunlight. Chlorophyll assists in red blood cell regeneration, enhancing the oxygenation process. It cleanses the digestive system, assists in purifying the blood, eliminates bacteria, disinfecting and detoxifying as it goes about its work. Oh, and it balances the body's acid-alkali levels. Chlorophyll is rich in zinc, selenium, vitamins E, C, and A, biotin, pantothenic and folic acids, calcium, chromium, phosphorus, potassium and magnesium. Not to mention iron.

5. What about protein? Your juice will provide some of the protein complex, but take a few nuts or seeds with your juice. They'll help you absorb it better, as well as making it a more complete food.

So how do you get started? 
Purchase a juicer!



The Viatek Total Juicer Pro is a slow juicer that produces more juice and retains up to 60% more vitamins than ordinary juicers. It is designed with an augur mechanism that presses the juice rather than grating or shredding the food. Because it operates at a slow speed, vegetables retain more heat-sensitive vitamins like vitamin C. 

Benefits of the Total Juicer Pro:

  • Healthy: Works with any kind of fruit or vegetable
  • Versatile: Juices fruits, vegetable, leafy greens, wheat grass, nuts and soybeans. 
  • Dual-Stage: crushes contents before pressing and ejecting pulp
  • No-clog design-  Built in rotary brush cleans as it juices and pulp is automatically separated. 
  • Economic
  • Easy to clean-rinse with water between juicing or take it apart for effortless cleaning.

Using the built-in bi-directional optical sensor, the Pearl removes hair in two directions instead of one.
