Sauna Oil Blend

If you enjoy taking a sauna on a regular basis, you will be well aware of the energizing and cleansing benefits. To assist the detoxing process encouraged by being in a sauna, it is helpful to use a sauna oil blend that can be thrown on the sauna coals along with the water. The aroma that will be emitted will heighten the enjoyment of time spent in the sauna.

Obtain one or more of the essential oils that are considered to be beneficial for use in a sauna. These include lavender, pine, grapefruit, eucalyptus, lime, rosemary, lemon and birch. Single method: If you are using just one essential oil, place 3 - 4 drops of your desired essential oil into the water bucket intended for the hot coals. It is now ready to be added to the sauna coals.

Blended method: If you are making a special blend that will release several essential oil scents at once, follow the suggested oils above and create a blend. One energizing and detoxing blend is:

* 3 drops pine
* 3 drops rosemary
* 4 drops lime
* 8 drops grapefruit
Experiment with your own blends using the suggested essential oils above, provided that you are confident with blending. If in doubt as to quantities, ask your oil supplier for advice or do research in a trusted aromatherapy manual. If you are unsure for any reason, stick with the single essential oil addition. With any blend, only add 3 - 4 drops of the resulting blend per bucket of water at a time. Sit back, relax and breathe deeply.

Eucalyptus is great for clearing the sinuses and the senses but beware its potency - it will release a very strong aroma, so take care to ask others in the sauna with you if this is all right. Use it by itself and sparingly - 1 - 2 drops per water bucket should be sufficient. Always use good quality oils. See your health food store specialist for advice.

It is generally recommended that you do not spend more than 20 minutes in a sauna at any one time. Pregnant women, those who are sick or convalescing and children should use caution when taking a sauna. Do not leave the essential oil bottles in the sauna room. This will quickly destroy the oil. Add the drops to the bucket before entering the sauna.

Avoid Gaining Weight over Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving doesn't mean unavoidable weight gain! Put in some planning time, learn to re frame your attitude towards the Thanksgiving foods themselves, and you're headed for more Holiday enjoyment and less Holiday overloading.

Volunteer to host the Thanksgiving festivities. You'll be in charge of the menu, and can plan from the start what foods will be on the table. Pick natural,
unprocessed foods, prepared simply but tastily with herbs, spices, and fruits such as lemon and orange. There are many websites and online recipe sites that give detailed "clean eating" menus and recipes. Bring along one or two dishes that meet your dietary requirements, if you have to go elsewhere. Then you can eat the turkey, and those dishes alone, if everything else turns out to be grossly fattening and gloppy. Timing is everything: Eat the main meal at 1-2 PM! Urge that schedule if you can influence the time set for the meal. That way, no appetizers are needed at all, as you are sitting down to eat early. Also, the earlier start time gives you time for digestion (key to feeling good the next day) and for more activity in your day after the meal is finished. If you are active after the meal, it will help you manage physically and feel much better. Grandma was right, have the beautiful meal on the table at 1 or 2! (It works better for the cook/table setter/clean up persons too -- then you aren't too exhausted to enjoy yourself!) Put a couple hours in between the meal and the dessert (during which time you can move around and be active!). Nothing beats the Holiday peacefulness of everyone happily fed, the kitchen is dealt with, and you can relax with your family and a nice piece of homemade pumpkin pie around 5 o'clock ...Norman Rockwell couldn't draw it any better.

Be aware of how to serve yourself and eat the meal Take tablespoon-size servings of only the various dishes you really want. Leave behind anything you feel lukewarm about! Take bites of what you like the very best, first. Sip the wine (or water, or whatever) in between. Think small amounts, and be mindful of not being greedy and pigging out. Slow down, enjoy and be thankful for each bite, truly savoring the wonderful tastes. When you are full (which comes sooner than you think, if you will pay attention), simply stop. Turn your mind and heart to true thankfulness. Thank God for all the abundance and love around the table. The food is not the key thing, and the food is not going to run away! There will be leftovers for later, or tomorrow. Sit back and visit, or be the person to initiate a "What I am thankful for this year" conversation. Keep your focus, and eat what you really enjoy, and then stop. (If food issues are really a problem for you, consult Over eater's Anonymous or the Weigh Down Workshop, for invaluable help in attaining peace with food). Avoid hitting the couch right after the meal. Find an activity outlet afterward. Crank up 70's disco hits and dance while helping clean up the meal and kitchen (silly is good). Take a long walk with family and friends to enjoy town and/or enjoy the fall color. Play tag outside with the kids. You get the idea! Just get moving afterward. Don't fall prey to "now or never" thinking. You're allowed to roast a turkey or turkey breast, make a pumpkin pie, or recreate Aunt Sue's special stuffing in July, if you want to! Ditch the "one time only" availability theory, which causes gobbling of Thanksgiving foods. This mindset and focus will make turning down extra Holiday servings a lot easier.Maybe this is your Holiday season to declare a complete alcohol hiatus, and say "enough" to all the extra drinking at the Holidays. Go strictly with water, soda with lime, or a cup of mint tea! You absolutely will feel so much better, be more present, and survive the season with less weight left on your booty and more tread left on your tires. If you do imbibe, try alternating each alcoholic drink with a "hydration cycle" of some kind - water with lemon, diet soda, Perrier, etc.

Remember Thanksgiving Day is just one day! If you blow it, get right back up on the horse and ride. It's making excuses and rationalizations every single day afterward, in the 40+ days between Thanksgiving and New Year's, that will cause you to gain the typical 3-7 Holiday pounds. If you are already overweight, be very diligent with finishing meals when just politely full, choosing clean foods, and daily movement/exercise over the Holidays. Those already overweight are more likely to gain weight than thin people through the Holiday season! Above all, do not let yourself just say "what the heck, it's Thanksgiving (or December, Christmas, or New Year's)" and run wild, stuffing your face with any old food that comes your way. Be picky and really enjoy what you decide to eat! Have a light heart, and enjoy a wonderful Thanksgiving and Holiday Season!

Withdrawal Amount @ SS Has Changed!

As I was about to withdraw some money on my SS account today, I'd noticed that the amount you are required to withdraw has changed. It changed from $20.00 to $50.00.
I never heard about the changes, or maybe I missed it. I am not sure if any one noticed about the changes or just me. Still not clear about this!

Improve Your Love Life by Improving Your Health

A lot of people say they'd like to have a super love life, but it all boils down to the question, "Are you willing to work for it?"

Consider your health. In a world where most people would choose a twinkie over an apple, you'll have to be the one who has the wisdom and willpower to choose the apple. In a world increasingly addicted to TV, you and your mate will have to come up with the willpower to go out on a nature walk or bicycle ride. Because you can't have a super love life unless you treat your body with the kind of love and respect that we're discussing. We're not talking about a six-week diet, we're considering a life-long program of better nutrition. We are not advocating a three-month exercise program here to take off two inches from the waist; we're pushing for regular exercise every day of our lives! Do some cardiovascular exercises. The Harvard School of Public Health reports that men who were physically inactive were 40 percent more likely to experience erectile dysfunction than men who exercised a half hour a day. A foundation of correct nutrition and regular exercise is necessary before we can begin to think about a super love life.

Eat to live and love. Most of us do not realize how foods affect our moods, feelings, energy level, and behavior. When we get down in the dumps, we don't automatically say, "Gosh, I must not have been eating right." On the other hand, when we're feeling on top of the world we don't stop to think, "I'd like to feel this good more often." We don't relate how we feel to what we've been eating, but foods, vitamins, and minerals can make all the difference in the world between a so-so love life and the kind of love life that makes you smile every time you think about it. Many people who think they have sex problems are actually victims of poor nutrition. They don't have sex problems. They have food problems. And food problems can be solved. De-stress and relax. The physical effects of long-term stress include colds, ulcers, asthma, heart attack, stroke, and chronic fatigue--all ailments that can erode your health and your love life. Couples can de-stress together at the end of the day in more romantic ways, such as enjoying a lathery bubble bath for two, complete with scented candles, and a mug of warm milk and honey. Or just watch a movie together!

The goals are to spend quality time together and put you on the path to total relaxation. It all takes effort to improve your love life. There is no substitute for balanced foods, and no shortcut to good health. But if you work at it, you can achieve a super love life.Many couples find that watching an adult film with their loved one can really enhance their love life. Some couples prefer love making guides or books to learn the proper techniques.

Cut out or cut down on the use of alcohol, cigarettes, and coffee. Avoid sugary foods and drinks and fried, fatty foods. Sugar interferes with the sex life and reduces its pleasure.But sometime the proper amount of sugar or say sweet things could bring some good mood. Cut back on milk and wheat products. Substitute herbal teas for coffee and regular teas, juices for commercial soft drinks.
