The debate continues. How much water should we drink in a day?
Like the fazes of "do we take tonsils out, or leave them in", the medical profession studies, and debates, on a healthy water intake (and temperature) for the average person.
Sport Medicine Drs. may very well feel differently than Family Med.Docs.
If you're thinking of stepping up, or down, the amount of water you drink, there's scads of Internet info, of course. Remember, to target your age, activity, etc. when doing this research.
It's an idea to ask a trusted health care provider, or trainer their opinions. If you have any kind of health history involving any kidney disease, or medications that might be affected by the amount of water you drink, or, when you drink it, or you're just really starting to get into this, maybe including a work-out regime, always ask your Dr.
So, you've researched, and decided to start drinking more water, even as much as 8 glasses a day. How do you do that when you're really "not a water drinker"?
Some think you actually have to stand there, and start your day with a huge glass of water every morning. There, "that's one"! You actually don't have to plug your nose and down all that water at once.
Like anything else you decide to add to your health and fitness plans, working it slowly into your daily routine is the route to go.
Fill up a water bottle. When you're at home, keep it in the room you spend most of your time in, the kitchen or office. At work, keep it close to you as well. Every once in a while, just take a little sip. When it's empty, fill it up. Funny thing about water, it seems the more you drink, the more you want to drink.
It may take you 2 weeks to finish that 1 bottle in a day. That's ok, no pressure. You're still drinking more that you did, and conditioning your body to having and wanting the extra water.
You'll see, it'll work.
"Massage Moves In" brings Relaxation to Your Office and Special Events
"Many people tend to look on massage as a luxury found only in upscale health clubs. But massage is a great tool, a combination of art and science, it can have a major impact on tension, insomnia, and headaches." Says DOCTOR GIFFORD-JONES's article in the Toronto Sun Dec.16/07.
He adds, "research shows Massage fosters a positive emotional reaction.
But there's more to massage than the touch of well-trained hands. Massage decreases stress hormones, enhances the production of endorphins, (the body's natural painkillers), and improves circulation.
Besides, all this, it makes you feel good!" And, Massage Moves in, can bring it to your office or corporate event, with professional, experienced practitioners.

Chair Massage "Tune-Up"
Chair Massage can be relaxing, or invigorating!
Although Massage (of any kind) is often thought of as a session that puts one into "relaxation " mode, it can also be used to invigorate us for a - pre-game, or event, to better take on the task at hand.
Reiki is Welcomed by the Corporate World
Reiki is a gentle, hands on, Healing Therapy. It balances the body physically, mentally, and spiritually.
Although not very well known in the "corporate" world, it is being found more, as Employers are beginning to realize (in Europe & American cities especially), the relaxing benefits of this Therapy for their employees.
Reiki has become much more mainstream. It is used in hospitals all over the world as a complement to conventional medicine. Many Health Spas and Fitness Centres offer it to their clients to relax and rejuvenate .
Reiki can be added to Massage, to enhance the tension-release and relaxation experience.
Over clothing or not, Reiki can be done on a Massage Table, Chair, virtually.... anywhere.
Quote from Prevention Magazine
"The mainstream medical community has stopped sneering, too: About 60 percent of the hospitals included in the U.S. News & World Report America's Best Hospitals list offer some kind of Reiki program, if only informally, reports the International Association of Reiki Professionals. Some studies have shown Reiki to effectively reduce anxiety and high blood pressure in otherwise healthy people"
