Massage is not only great for relaxation. It is a deep healing. For home-massaging try: Chronic Fatigue Massage Blend with essential oils of Frankincense Lavender, Petitgrain, Almonds, Grapeseeds and Jojoba. Use it straight from bottle for energizing & invigorating massage or rub on after bath or shower to moisturize skin or add cupful to warm bath to uplift and energize spirit.

For your travels get yourself a Massaging Pillow. Lean back and enjoy the therapeutic powers of the Sirius Dual Function Massage Pillow. It is a convenient and portable self-massage tool. Use it for your feet or as a soothing neck massage. It can be used for your lower or upper back, legs or any part of the body.

If you decide to go to get some professional massage. Try hot stone massage. It involves the application of water-heated basalt stones.  They create sensations of comfort and warmth. The direct heat relaxes muscles, increases the blood flow to the area being worked on. This aids mental relaxation. Mental relaxation is key when a therapist is attempting to work into deeper muscles of the body. Hot stone massage allows manipulation of a greater intensity than with regular massage.

Main benefits of hot stone massage:

* Promotes deep muscle and tissue relaxation
* Alleviates stress
* Releases toxins
* Relieves pain
* Improves circulation
* Calms the psyche

Stay healthy,

A study published in the journals Circulation and Vitality Magazine has uncovered that consumption of one soft drink per day is linked with increased odds of developing metabolic syndrome, obesity, high blood pressure, low levels of good cholesterol, impaired fasting glucose, etc. I also have heard that carbonated water, which we mistakenly call “mineral water”, has the same effect.

While soft drinks add pounds, meal replacement drinks can help to reduce weight. Meal replacements came into prominence several years ago, when a company called Met-Rx introduced a unique formula that was unlike anything else on the market. They are ideal for bodybuilders, dieters and those who are time pressed.

These products are a high protein, low fat, moderate carbohydrate food source that is rich in vitamins and minerals. They are designed to provide a maximal amount of nutrients in a format that is not inclined to promote significant body fat storage. Per serving these powders usually contain 250-300 calories, 35-45 gm of protein, 20-25 gm of carbohydrates, and 2-4 gm of fat. They also have between 50-100% of the RDAs for most of the major vitamins and minerals.

As a rule, meal replacements are best utilized as an adjunct to a well-balanced nutritional regimen – not as a substitute for natural foods. They fill a specific dietary niche, but by no means are a complete source of nutrition.
