Energy from the Sun---Far Infrared, that is...

The term 'energy' tends to pique peoples' curiosity, especially as we get older---or start raising a family! Who wouldn't like more energy throughout their day? :o)

Far-Infrared (FIR) energy comes from the sun (a different wavelength from ultraviolet, visible light and radio waves). FIR penetrates beyond the skin level and is absorbed efficiently by the cells (visible light bounces off the skin surface).

Without going into the more complicated aspects of physics, Far-Infrared is able to penetrate more deeply than other parts of the light spectrum (to a depth of about 1to 1.6 inches) -- and stimulate your body cells in a beneficial way.

Benefits of Far-Infrared light include:

*Temporary relief of muscular pain and spasm...
*Relief of mild and occasional joint aches and stiffness...
*Providing a comforting feeling of penetrating warmth...
*Stimulating blood flow and circulation...
*Promoting a healthy immune system & metabolism...
*Elimination of waste from the body (detox), reducing the acidic level in our body & improving the nervous system

Additional benefits:
Prevention of bacterial growth
Softening of hard water
Purification of water
Speeding up repair of body cells
Balancing of the acid level in our body
Normalization of blood cholesterol
Maintenance of body warmth and better sleep

Sang Whang, the author of "Reverse Aging" claims that excess acids (potentially very harmful to our bodies) can be eliminated with the use of far infrared products, along with consuming certain alkaline minerals and foods. The far infrared technology heats up the internal temperature of the body, increasing circulation, thus enabling the blood to melt out the acidic toxins.

Some ways to receive infrared light rays includr infrared LED light devices, FIR comforters & FIR wraps for aching joints. Millions of people have used these devices to achieve comforting heat and some measure of temporary relief from pain and stiffness.

Wow---another Simple, SAFE & Effective way to build wellness into our lives...
Our family has benefitted from this technology for years!
I'm waiting for your questions and comments--

The pH Balancing Act

Now that we've learned a bit about why it's crucial to keep our bodies slightly alkaline, how about finding out how to do just that?
My family and I, along with millions of others around the world have found simple, SAFE & effective ways to promote an alkaline environment in our bodies. The 3 basic areas where we impact the pH of our bodies are Sleep, Water and Nutrition. All three are part of the whole wellness picture or wellness home environment.
We impact our body's pH during sleep by using specially designed sleep pads, pillows and comforters with magnetic, far infrared and negative ion technologies. The water we drink is filtered, energized and slightly alkaline, after passing through a specialized filtration unit. (Distilled water and reverse osmosis water are both quite acidic---more on that later!) We also take a certain green barley extract (mixed in water or juice) that promotes alkalinity. That's the nutrition component.
Very simple, easy to incorporate into our busy lifestyles---and powerful in their effects.
Tomorrow: The link between heartburn (the body being too acidic) and water intake.

What's a Wellness Nurse?

Does the term 'Wellness Nurse' fall into your category of oxymorons (the use of contradictory terms like 'jumbo shrimp' and 'plastic glass')? Fifteen years ago, it would have been right up there in my books with 'boneless ribs'!

My nursing career dates back to 1981 (yes, that makes me 47!). I chose a nursing career because I wanted to 'help people.' It didn't take me many years to realize that, although I was helping people/patients in an acute care setting, many of these patients continued to be challenged with deteriorating health. Just 'adding another pill' or 'trying' a new treatment didn't provide longterm health that people were looking for. The overall health of Americans---of all ages---was falling apart right in front of me. I didn't have any answers to this ever-growing problem until I was introduced to the concept of Wellness and the use of Wellness Technologies.

I've been on a Wellness learning path for the past 12 years. It's taken a change in mindset...from one of waiting until I got sick & then seeking treatment...to one of expecting to feel healthy, full of energy, with full expectations of staying well longterm.

The most rewarding piece for me in these past 12 years has been sharing what I've learned with others---showing them how to get their health back safely & effectively---as well as showing them how to 'build wellness' into their daily lives. My family & I also enjoy great health, high energy levels and the peace of mind that comes from knowing that we're being proactive with our health (without any medications!).

I look forward to sharing what I've learned with you, so that you and your family may be blessed with True Wellness.

More tomorrow!
