MASSAGE . . . an essential part
of your health care
In the
past, massage was thought of as a luxury, something done on vacation, a
treat, only for the pampered. Some people were introduced to massage
while recovering from injury, maybe even prescribed by a doctor, but
once the pain was eased, didn't continue treatments. Research has
shown that massage can be beneficial to general health in a variety of
ways.
Therapeutic
Benefits of Massage
Massage
has many therapeutic benefits. The following is a list of its main benefits,
adapted from the American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA):
Massage
helps reduce muscle tension and stiffness by loosening contracted,
shortened and hardened muscles, and reduces muscle spasm.
Massage
improves blood circulation and reduces blood pressure, resulting in
greater blood supply to the internal organs.
Massage
increases the mobility and range of movement of joints by stretching both
the muscles and the adjoining connective tissues.
Massage
balances the nervous system.
Massage
helps the health and nourishment of skin by improving the function of the
sweat and sebaceous glands.
Massage
helps the digestive system by increasing the excretion of waste products,
including nitrogen, phosphorus and salt.
Massage
promotes recovery from acute and chronic pain, and speeds recovery of
sprained ligaments and muscles.
Massage
reduces stress and tension and aids relaxation.
Massage
helps relieve tension-related headaches.
Massage
strengthens the immune system.
Massage
also has many mental benefits. These include:
1.
Creates
peace of mind.
2.
Promotes
mental alertness.
3.
Helps
relieve mental stress.
4.
Enhances
creativity and thinking.
5.

a feeling of well-being.

5 Tips to a Healthier You
How are you feeling after this Thanksgiving holiday? We all tend to overindulge during the holiday season as families, friends and loved ones gather together to celebrate. The downside to this time of year is that the body tends to come away feeling sluggish. Here are 5 tips to get you back on track after your Thanksgiving feast:
1. Get Active! Get your heart rate up and challenge your body for at least thirty minutes a day. Physical activity boosts mental performance by increasing the flow of oxygen rich blood to the brain. By alternating your workout regimen, you can keep things fresh, while increasing your metabolism. Try walking, running, golfing, biking, swimming, yoga, gardening, or other activities that get you up and moving around.
2. Avoid mindless snacking: A little "nibble" here and there can add up calories. Do not eat mindlessly while driving, watching TV or while your on the computer. Pay attention to your body- hunger and satiety cues. Enjoy each bite of food and stop eating when you're full.
3. Limit Alcohol: Alcoholic beverages are included at most holiday parties, special events, and dinner occasions over the holidays. Alcohol provides 7 calories per gram (more than carbohydrate and protein) with little to no nutritional value, increasing the likelihood of weight gain. Keep intake moderate (1 drink per day for women and 2 drinks per day for men). Opt for 12 oz light beer or 5 oz red wine, or 1 oz liquor and avoid high sugary mixers and juices.
4. Avoid salty foods: Many processed snack foods, luncheon meats, frozen dinners, canned and pickled foods are high in sodium, which can cause water retention (water weight gain). Salty foods cause dehydration, which leads to unhealthy cravings.
5. Stay hydrated! You may mistake hunger cues for thirst. Diagnose false hunger pang by drinking an 8 oz. glass of water 30 minutes before eating. Drinking water before a meal will help ensure hydration and absorption of water-soluble vitamins eaten with your meal. Make it a goal to drink 6-8 (8 oz.) glasses of water per day. Note: If you typically sweat heavily or engage in frequent physical activity, you may need to increase your fluid intake.
The New Year is right around the corner, and there is no better time to get healthy, active and fit! Losing weight is a struggle for many people, but with the right guidance, education, and motivation you can change your life. There is no magic pill or quick fix for long term, healthy weight loss, but knowledge can point you in the right direction.
Did you know that if you drank one can of soda per day for a year, the total calories are equivalent to approximately 15-pound weight gain?
Get informed and get involved in our weight loss program launching January 2010.

Dear Breakfast Boycotters,
Start Your Day Right
Or otherwise you think that by doing so, you will be able to control your weight?
They seem to be pretty good reasons for skipping breakfast, but read on and then think before doing it again.
Fuel For Our Brain
Our brain (the central nervous system) runs on glucose - that's the fuel we need to think, walk, talk, and carry on all our activities. Let's say that the last time we eat something at night is at 10
or 11 PM (just an example). The following day, we don't eat breakfast but wait until about noon or so to eat - we've gone thirteen or fourteen hours with nothing in our system.
Our poor brain is surely deprived - and our body has to work extra hard to break down any stored carbohydrate or turn fat or protein into a usable form for our brain to function. It's like driving a vehicle running short of fuel. We make our brain work in crisis condition and in many instances it can't perform properly. You wouldn't try to drive an empty car to work would you? So why drive an empty body?
Classroom / Work And Breakfast
Those who skip breakfast have slower reaction times and are more accident prone. School
children who skip breakfast have greater
hyperactivity, irritability, and anxiety; more disruptive classroom behavior; more tardiness; and a decreased ability to concentrate and solve problems. Eating breakfast has been proven to improve concentration, problem solving ability, mental performance, memory, and mood. We will certainly be at a disadvantage if our classmates have eaten breakfast and we've gone without. On average, they will think faster and clearer, and will have better recall than us. School or work can be tough enough without this extra added pressure.
Eating breakfast has many benefits. It reduces fatigue and sleepiness in the mid-morning hours; helps banish the blues; improves concentration, increases alertness, and helps one function more efficiently. Academic performance is generally better when breakfast is eaten. Weight Control and Breakfast Studies have shown that those who skip breakfast are more likely to struggle with a weight problem. Calories eaten earlier in the day are more effectively utilized than those consumed late in the day. Eating a good breakfast generally improves the overall diet of a person. Those skipping breakfast are more likely to snack throughout the day. Skipping meals often leads to overeating later in the day. Becoming over hungry often leads to a lack of control and distorted satiety signals (meaning it's hard to determine when you're full). This can result in taking in more calories than if one had an appropriate breakfast. As a matter of fact, it's easier to control one's weight by eating smaller meals and snacks more frequently. In addition, by skipping breakfast, we also have a harder time fitting important nutrients into our diet. Many foods eaten at breakfast contain significant amounts of vitamins C and D, calcium, iron, and fiber.
What to Eat
Don't eat a carbohydrate only breakfast. This
will cause a drastic increase in blood sugar levels, particularly if they are refined carbohydrates, and then a significant drop, which will have you turning to any edible product around. Examples
of what not to eat would be one apple or a piece of bread alone, etc. Rather have some yogurt, peanut butter, and apple with a small piece of low fat cheese and so on. This will help to give you a complete meal, one in which our body will appreciate much more. Choose a breakfast with milk, fruit and cereal (grain product). These three foods can provide a good breakfast.
Eating a healthy breakfast does not need to take a lot of time. Breakfast might be the last thing on our morning to-do list. Or it might not be on our list at all. But a healthy breakfast refuels our body and jump-starts your day. So don't overlook this important meal. Tomorrow morning, set your alarm 10 minutes earlier to give yourself a chance to have a morning meal. Your body and mind will thank you later on in the day.
Dr. Deepinder Singh,
M.D. (Homoeo)
(Associate Professor: LMH Medical College
& Hosp., Ludhiana, India.)
