Over the past two decades, Zariq Siddiqui has held various sales positions with healthcare company Abbott Laboratories, Inc., where he currently serves as director of sales. Outside of work, Zariq Siddiqui supports charitable organizations such as Unbound, formerly called the Christian Foundation for Children and Aging.

Committed to combating issues such as hunger and poverty worldwide, Unbound offers a sponsorship program that enables individuals to end the cycle of poverty and become more self-reliant. For a monthly contribution, sponsors provide individuals with tools to increase their confidence and self-sufficiency. For example, the money might serve as seed money for a woman to start a small business or to send her children to school. Alternately, she might use it to make direct improvements to her living conditions.

To ensure families use their benefits effectively and appropriately, families receive support from local staff. The goal is to reinvest the sponsorship money so that over time, it can generate meaningful income for the family. For more information about sponsorship through Unbound, visit www.unbound.org

A resident of Dublin, Ohio, Zariq Siddiqui is a sales director at Abbott Laboratories Inc. In this role, Zariq Siddiqui manages the sale and distribution of the company's products, such as Confirm Rx Insertable Cardiac Monitor (ICM).

Confirm Rx ICM is a smartphone-compatible continuous heart monitor designed to help patients monitor their heart rhythms easily and effectively. Before, patients with heart arrhythmias faced limitations with regard to monitoring their heart rhythms and sharing this information with their doctors in real time. Confirm Rx removes these limitations.

The new device monitors the heart rate to detect signs of atrial fibrillation while the patient continues to live his or her life normally. The slim device is implanted just under the skin to collect data on heart rhythms and then transmits this data via Bluetooth to the patient's smartphone. From the phone, the data is then transmitted to the Merlin.net Patient Care Network where the patient's doctor can access it.

Confirm Rx ICM removes the need to have bedside transmitters and activators to record heart symptoms. It also allows patients to annotate symptoms, view symptom history, and record specific symptoms individually. These recordings help doctors gain more insight into a patient's condition.

As a director with the Chicago headquarters of Abbott Laboratories, Zariq Siddiqui oversees sales operations for the company's nutrition product line. Outside of the professional arena, Zariq Siddiqui is committed to personal good health as a daily runner.

Exercise experts do not recommend training exceptionally hard for long periods of time every day because the human body requires recovery time between sessions of extreme physical exertion. However, authorities such as Medical Daily contributor Lizette Borreli have identified many benefits of running for just five minutes each day.

Citing studies from peer-reviewed scientific journals such as the Journal of Experimental Biology and Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, Ms. Borreli lists valuable wellness improvements such as boosted brain performance and optimized sleep cycles. And due to health benefits such as reduced blood pressure and rates of cardiovascular disease, running for just five minutes a day can add years to your life.

All-American triathlete and Big River Running Company general manager Andrew Person values daily running as a great way to establish a healthy routine. Setting a goal such as running at least one mile each day, according to Mr. Person, can serve as an exceptional source of motivation.
