The Health Benefits of Peaches

Peaches are linked to better eye health and cardiovascular performance. Peaches contain no fat but an abundance of fiber which helps with weight loss. Peaches are rich in vitamins and are thought to prevent hair loss.

Mindfulness Helps Chronic Pain

If you have chronic pain, regular neuromuscular massage can help ease the pain and maintain your range of motion, all of which help maintain your quality of life.

New studies show that mindfulness is another tool to help relieve chronic pain.

Mindfulness is nothing more than taking opportunities several times each day to bring your attention on to something in the present moment.

Much of the discomfort of chronic pain is our own reactions to it.
Often, our thoughts are brought from an activity we’re engaged in to thinking about what hurts.

There are mindfulness meditations, as well as activities that you can do anywhere to help your chronic pain.

Staying Hydrated in Winter

Your body needs water to maintain its temperature both in the hot summer months, and in the cold winter months.

Not having enough fluids is a common reason for people to suffer hypothermia while engaging in outdoor activities in the winter.

Maintaining enough fluids is one way to help your body remain warmer during the winter.

Tips to Stay Hydrated in Winter

Remember to stay hydrated all day, so start first thing in the morning with a full glass of water.

Set some mini-goals for yourself throughout the day and use a clear water bottle so that you can see how well you are meeting your goals.

If you aren’t fond of plain water, infuse your water with a piece of fresh fruit. Any citrus fruit can add flavor to your water and there are infusing water bottles available that make adding fruit to your water easy.

Anything liquid helps with hydration (except alcohol and caffeinated beverages), so warm yourself up with a nice cup of tea and stay hydrated.

Is it Seasonal Affective Disorder or merely the Winter Blues?

There are some people who are profoundly affected by the lack of sunlight in the winter months and those people need to talk to their physicians about using light therapy to help with the symptoms of SAD. Most of us, however, just get a bit of the winter blues that sound in our heads a little like, “it’s too cold to get out and exercise, so I just won’t.” Challenge your own thinking to get in some fun indoor exercise which will help beat back the winter blues. #MarktheSpotMassage

Removing Holiday Lights can be Dangerous, too.

What goes up, must come down. Be just as careful on the ladder when you’re removing your holiday decorations as you were when you put them up.

A reminder … If you’re going to climb a ladder, check your ladder before you use it. If there are bent or broken rungs, replace the ladder before you climb.

Don’t climb a ladder alone. Have someone nearby who can steady the ladder while you climb.

Don’t let your kids or a helper climb the ladder with you. Believe it or not, having more than one person on a ladder is a common cause of falls from ladders.
