Not to scare you, but...
Every year, millions of people suffer disabling injuries and thousands lose their lives to work-related stress.
Stress has been described as a 'slow killer'. It is a health risk for someone to undergo continuous stress and you must be aware of the dangers of excessive and prolonged stress.

Causes of Stress:

In most cases, problems and tense situations will cause stress. The longer these circumstances last and how they are handled will determine the amount of stress they cause. Some ... << MORE >>

 

Most of us don’t just want to lose “weight”. We want to lose body fat. This is what really concerns us, cosmetically speaking, at least.

Body fat, referred to by scientists as adipose tissue, is the stuff that can hide shapely, defined muscles from view, make your bikini fit awkwardly (or not at all), put rolls on your belly, and so on. To lose body fat and prevent it ...

 Irene Diamond's 9 Quick & Easy "Keep The Pounds Off" Holiday Survival Tips ...  

(Feel free to forward the link to this page to any of your friends and family!)

  1. Less Food The Day Before –
If you know you will be having a lot of food throughout the day or a large meal simply eat less than your normal intake the day before. This way you will balance things out over two days. Don’t starve yourself because your body will actually slow down your metabolism. Just eat about half your normal intake and spread it out throughout the day so you are never hungry. 

2. Drink A Ton Of Water -
Drink extra water so you feel full and won’t be able to eat as much. 

3. Make Smart Choices at Buffets –
Look over the whole table of food to see your choices before you start to fill your plate. By knowing what is available, you will be able to have tastes of all the things you like, without having too much of anything. Also, choose only the things you really want to eat, a party is not the time to feel you have to eat your vegetables (unless you want to).  

4. Limit Alcohol and ‘fru fru’ drinks -
Drinks such as Irish Cream, Kahlua, etc., all taste great, but they are filled with so much fat and sugar that I believe the drawbacks far out-way the benefits. Alcohol is a “simple carbohydrate” and there is very limited nutritional value in it. It actually also behaves differently in your body from other carbohydrates in that it has a denser amount of calories and your body actually metabolizes it more like fat. The second drawback from having more than a drink or two, is it lowers your resistance to the other temptations, therefore you are more apt to over-eat. 

5. Be Careful in The Kitchen -
As you are cooking or walking through the dining room, don’t munch on things mindlessly. Be aware this holiday of every thing that goes in your mouth! So many people pop a few crackers or olives or cookies or who-knows what in their mouth without even knowing they are doing it and it all adds up to extra pounds on your behind! 

6. One Dessert Per Day-
Enjoy only one dessert a day. Or you can have a small serving of more than one type of desert, but just be sure it still only equals ONE dessert! 

7. Be Mind-full When You Eat -
Really be mind-full when you are eating. This means sitting down and paying attention to what you are doing. Be aware of how the food feels and tastes in your mouth. The more mind-full you are while you are eating the more you will actually enjoy your food and studies show, you will tend to eat less, because you will stop sooner when you pay attention to the signs you feel when you are full! 

8. Share Your Leftovers –
If you will not eat the left-overs or you don’t want the temptation in your home there are many homeless shelters and other organizations that would be happy to take them. By bringing your extra food to them, it won't be wasted and you won’t feel ‘obligated’ to eat it. If you live in a city, you can probably also find people on the street who would be happy to enjoy it.. 

 9. Go For A Walk -
It really is possible to socialize with family and friends and have a good time and do something OTHER than eat! Take a walk, go to the gym, play football in the park – just move and you will burn the calories and feel much better.  Also, exercise boosts your production of “feel good” hormones which not only allow you to feel great, but actually help reduce your food cravings and stoke your fat-burning furnace.  ___________________

Hope These Tips Will Allow You To Still Enjoy Your Festivities, but not lose control. 
Happy Holidays to You from all of us at Diamond Massage & Wellness Center!

So, Do You Think This Man Has Major Back Pain?

What do you think your back would feel like if you did an endurance event of something as crazy as this:
Mick Dawson and Chris Martin, 2 guys from England actually ROWED their tiny row boat from Japan to San Francisco, with absolutely NO help or assistance in getting across that huge ocean!

It took them (only) 6 months! So, imagine... what have you been doing since April? Well, all they've been doing is ... << MORE >>

Pregnancy & Massage? ... YES!

You don't need to shy away from your favorite stress and pain relief - massage- if you are pregnant.

As long as you are not a high-risk pregnancy, you and your baby can (and should) receive regular massage.

There are a number of very comprehensive studies that show the benefits of Pre-Natal massage for not only the mother, but for the fetus as well!

Here are two examples:

In a global epidemic of this nature, it's almost impossible to avoid coming into contact with H1N1 in spite of all precautions.... but Even if you come in contact with the virus, you don't have to let it enter your body!

         While you are still healthy and not showing any symptoms of H1N1 infection, in order to prevent proliferation, aggravation of symptoms and development of secondary infections, some very simple steps, not fully highlighted in most official communications, can be practiced (instead of focusing on how to stock N95 or Tamiflu):          ...<< MORE >>

How Do You Know What Kind of Massage You Want?

The first thing is to determine your goal?

Usually people come to see us for either of three Reasons:
#1. They need to de-stress and want a relaxation session
#2. They have pain and want relief
#3. They can't move their neck, shoulder, knee or some other body-part has limitations in range of motion in the joint or muscles.

Of course, some people are looking for a combination of all of the above!.
