Foot Soak Your Troubles Away

Hi, again
I find it interesting that so many new ways to be healthy keep cropping up but as whole we don't seem to be getting healthier.
I was talking to a friend about the people we see on a regular bases who are always trying out the latest fad diet, gimmick, or supplement with one goal and that is to be physically fit.

There are three fundamental principles that our bodies function on;
  • nourishment
  • rest
  • movement
All other activities will be achieved without assistants if the body is not seriously ill.
That includes detox, your body wants to get rid of its own waste. The skin is the largest organ of elimination, we have as well as the urinary and the colon. If that layer isn't enough then we have the lymphatic system also.
To say that some kind of special foot soak is going to replace or supplement what your body already does is an interesting way to spend money but I would rather have a pedicure and leave the waste removal for the bathroom where it belongs.
Stay Healthy.....

What does A Men's Health Article Say about Stretch

Hi,
I had the privilege of reading a very popular health magazine's take on stretch. I could not have been more please with the tone and direction the article was headed toward except for they did not go far enough. Because they understood the relationship between fascia( connective tissue) and muscles which is great place to start but you have to stay with the muscles because their functions in the area of blood supply and breathing are the keys to mending and repairing of muscles.
