Snack Your Way to a Slimmer You
How Snacking can Help with Your Diet Goals
While some dieters happily accept when someone suggests a snack, others feel pangs of guilt when a nibble is merely suggested. However, there is nothing inherently wrong with a bite between meals. In fact,
snacking might be the missing ingredient that will help you reach your weight loss goals.

When we think of tight muscles we commonly will stretch them or get a massage to release them. We often feel better after a few days however the tightness or stiffness returns. We have to ask the question, why are they tight? In most cases, muscles will tighten to compensate for weakness or stability. If you are not stable at a segment your body will compensate by tightening other areas to compensate. For example, if you have weak core muscles that do not stabilize your low back, usually the muscles above and below will tighten up in an effort to stabilize. That is why mid-back (Thoracic spine) and hip tightness are usually associated with low back pain. To deal with the root of chronic problems we must look at not only what muscles are tight, but why they are tight and what weakness are driving them.

Taking Epsom salts( magnesium sulfate) is absorbed by the body during a Epsom Salt bath. This process promotes muscle relaxation, relieves stiffness, and reduces cramped and achy muscle. Epsom salt baths also release toxins and metabolic waste products from the body. It is always recommended that our patients take an Epsom salt bath after their treatments.
1: Add two cups of Epsom salts to a hot bath (38-35 degrees Celcius or to tolerance). Soak in the hot bath for 20 minutes.
2: Drink cool water to keep well hydrated.
3: When finished the bath, cool your body down with a lukewarm shower.
4: Rest for 15- 20 minutes after the bath for maximal relaxation and therapeutic impact.

Go Nuts! Your Diet Needs Variety! by Mary Trull
You start a new diet and you see some fantastic results pretty quickly. The struggle, of course, is then maintaining this weight loss. Changing eating patterns for a short period is different than sustaining them. Once frustration and boredom sets in, once dieters have reached that plateau, it becomes so easy to just give up in disappointment.
