Jennifer Aniston’s Budget to keep Cellulite away and the Benefits of Lymphatic Massage

In January I experienced a kind of massage I never had before.  In the interest of trying to rid my tummy of a cellulite pillow that resided there despite all exercises, I got a Lymphatic Massage and coupled it with a body spa treatment.   It was an enjoyable experience and I felt energized the next day.  As a matter of fact, I felt like I had lost 10 pounds.  I’d like to feel that way everyday, wouldn’t you?

What is Lymphatic Massage?

This special type of bodywork, while very gentle and seemingly superficial, helps to restore function to the lymph system and balance the body.  A customized form of bodywork, lymphatic massage may help the lymph system do its job better. By understanding the anatomy and function of this delicate system, your massage therapist can assist your body in clearing sluggish tissues of waste and swelling.

Why Does Lymphatic Massage Work?

Though lymph vessels are found throughout the body, most of them--about 70 percent--are located just below the skin. These fragile vessels work to pick up fluids between the cell spaces when gentle pressure is applied to them from increased fluid build-up, muscle contractions, or the pressure of a therapist's hands. By using very light pressures in a rhythmic, circular motion, a massage therapist can stimulate the lymph system to work more efficiently and help it move the lymph fluids back to the heart so the body can process and eliminate these fluids.  Combined with body spa treatments, cellulite can be reduced and skin tone restored.

Who Should Get It?

Lymph massage can benefit just about everyone. If you're feeling tired and low on energy, or if you've been sick and feeling like your body is fighting to get back on track, lymph massage would likely serve you well. In addition, athletes, surgical patients, fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue sufferers, as well as those wanting a fresh look may want to consider lymphatic massage.

So, if you're feeling a bit sluggish, experiencing mild to moderate swelling, recovering from a sports injury, or interested in optimizing your lymph system for stronger immunity, ask your massage therapist about lymphatic massage. It can have a powerful impact on your body's ability to heal.  For more information: http://www.massagetherapy.com/articles/index.php/article_id/1050/The-Benefits-of-Lymphatic-Massage

Anti-Aging Face Creams, Serums, and Cleansers….Oh My!

Everyone always says it is the beauty on the inside that really counts- and I believe that to be true. Actually, beauty does begin on the inside physically and mentally. With proper nutrition and plenty of sleep your skin will glow and a bright, positive attitude will help your eyes sparkle. Those combined, are a 1-2-3 punch against aging. Do not overlook the impact of the products you put on your skin as they can provide solutions for a tired, dry, dull, wrinkled appearance. Why not do yourself a favor by investing in the best anti-aging skin products out there in order to maintain your confident and youthful appearance? Doing everything for everyone (husband, boss, kids, family) takes a toll on your skin. Wouldn’t you like to maintain younger and refreshed skin that naturally oozes confidence just like your personality?

The  Transformation Premium Package is the most powerful anti-aging skin care regimen that reveals younger looking skin 8 ways in 7 days for a more youthful, healthier looking you, now and in the future. “There’s nothing you can do about your DNA, but you can influence the way it functions by changing your lifestyle,” says Ajay Goel, director of Epigenetics and Cancer Prevention at Baylor Research Institute. (Quote from Women’s Health Magazine – “Outsmart your DNA Destiny”)

Anne (not pictured above) used the entire Transformation Kit for 90 days to get these results!Click here to see results!
Step 1 – To Cleanse and Tone with  Gentle Cleanse and Tone
Step 2- Serum with Future Serum
Step 3- To Moisturize with either Radiant Day SPF22 in the morning or Transformation Night in the evening.

Aging signs include wrinkles, spots, dark patches, fine lines, and crow’s feet. Aging can also make the appearance of our skin dull, dry, or overall that “sad” look. As we age our skin gets thinner and therefore the wrinkles set in. Using a powerful serum like a Future Serum can stimulate youthful cell renewal and collagen production by 85% in only 5 days and 150% over time. People testing the Future Serum for 12 weeks visibly noticed improved youthful skin structure, skin smoothness, even skin tone, reduced fine lines/wrinkles, brighter skin, smaller pore size, fewer (and reduced looking) skin discoloration, and overall improved hydration in their skin. By using the entire Transformation Premium Package, you are having the products rework the cell production in your face the entire day and prevent future damage while you do all the things you need to accomplish in any given day.

Why not age with grace, beauty on the inside, and naturally radiance skin on the outside??? Let me help you uncover a younger, a “Nu” you this Spring with a preferred customer price of $287 for the entire Transformation Kit or for just the award winning Future Serum $157.

Health Tip: A Naturally Clean Kitchen Free of Germs, Grime and Toxic Chemicals
For instant glass, counter top and appliance cleaner, fill a spray bottle with ½ water and ½ white vinegar and add a few drops of essential citrus oil. Citrus oils such as lemon, lime and orange are natural degreasers for that great shine and smell in your kitchen.

Brad Pitt Loves His Galvanic current Spa & You Will Too

I was excited to find this image last week for my latest newsletter on the Galvanic Current Spa and its anti-aging skin benefits, the cost comparison of salon visits to using the anti-aging products which actually reverse the signs of aging at a cellular level, and instructions for the Galvanic current Spa. When a man uses the Galvanic current Spa to get a youthful appearance for his red carpet appearances, it speaks volumes! In my next newsletter I break down the benefits and cost of the the same company's Body Spa – with an amazing before and after picture! In my newsletter, I also was pleased to report that my Antioxidant Challengers are all improving their scores, Mike -the greatest gain- 21,000! They all report feeling better and more vibrant taking their supplements. No one has gotten either a cold or flu either…good stuff.




Health Tip: What does it takes to lose 400 calories?
Aerobic dancing = 50 minutes
Cycling (12-13.9 mph) = 44 minutes
In-Line Skating = 28 minutes
Elliptical Trainer = 52 minutes
Running (6mph) = 35 minutes
Swimming (vigorous) = 35 minutes
Walking (3.5 mph, brisk pace) = 93 minutes
Tennis (singles) = 44 minutes
Remember to lose 1 pound in a week, you need to burn 3,500 calories which means anyone one of the above 9 times in one week. This is why you need to combine your efforts by reducing calories eaten by adding more fruits and vegetables to your diet. The additional fruits and vegetables are full of antioxidants so your skin will glow!

Joey’s Weight Loss Week 3 & Fergie Loves Apple Cider Vinegar So You Can Too! And Good Day Sacramento on Monday, 2/27!

Joey’s Progress Week 3:
After a weekend at Tahoe with his buddies and several stressful workdays upon his return, Joey’s weight remained the same! Joey also commented that after a night of drinking beer he was the only one to wake up WITHOUT a hangover! Joey credits this to his supplements that go along with his weight management program. He awoke fresh and ready to snowboard while his buddies were rubbing their eyes and grumbling about their hangovers. Good for you Joey!

I have something I would like to share with you…my love for apple cider vinegar and how incorporating it into my diet and hair washing has helped me so much. Several months ago I read an article about how adding 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar to your diet can result in body fat loss without changing diet or exercise. After a few months I noticed a change in my overall size and weight without changing either my diet or exercise. I recently read an article authored by a woman impressed that Fergie, (Black Eyed Peas) is an apple cider vinegar advocate and we all want to look like her so I want to share it with you, “7 Reasons to Love Apple Cider Vinegar”. I tried it in my hair as a final rinse according to the directions in the article and it worked great! My hair was soft, shiny and there were no “fly-aways” as I have fine hair. Enjoy the article!
The American Lung Association Fight For Air Climb 2012 is getting noticed! This Monday, February 27th you might see me on Good Day Sacramento as Julissa Ortiz does her own climb of the Wells Fargo Center stairs, live at 6 am. As the Chair for the Executive Committee organizing this event with the ALA, I will be there! I hope you can watch the segment. Once Julissa arrives to the top she will be greeted by a masseuse and Il Fornaio’s snacks. Good Day Sacramento heard about our event after our hugely successful “Kick Off” party generously hosted by Morton’s of Chicago, January 24th.

Total loss 8 lbs!


Wendy
Week 1 – “Very disciplined on my exercise so it’s the eating that is so difficult. The menu suggestions are what I need. I don’t feel comfortable at my current weight. I know I would feel more comfortable and confident if I could lose this extra weight.”
Week 5 – She feels awesome! She feels like she has learned a lot about choices which was the most important thing for her lifestyle change. She has been working out like crazy and has gained a lot of muscle. She looks like she has lost a lot more weight then she has. Wendy and I ran 6.7 miles(!) through the hills of Serrano last Friday!

Anyone who was not tested before, please feel free to come and get your score. It truly only takes 90 seconds.

Until then here are some quotes from our Antioxidant Challengers as to how they are doing and feeling:
Joy – “I find I easily remember to take them twice a day and I’m usually sick through the winter and I have not been sick while taking these!”
Mike – “I always remember to take them with breakfast and I am usually sick in the winter and have not gotten sick yet!”
Hannah- “I haven’t gotten sick once and I feel much stronger. Actually she said, “I feel mas fuerte.”

Health Tip: Yoga Is Not For Sissies!
Three weeks ago I started shoulder therapy yoga for my right shoulder which was injured during my High Intensity Strength and Conditioning classes at the gym. Despite all exercise modifications, my shoulder still ached and burned. Then I found Ashley Murray, Morning Mist Nutrition and Yoga, to help my shoulder. My shoulder is healing but it is tough work! Sometimes I shake so badly while in a pose I think I might fall over but I don’t. What does yoga mean?
Yoga means “joined together.” The word comes from the ancient Sanskrit root word yug, which means “to unify.” Many people practice yoga for its asanas, its physical exercises, which are regularly acclaimed to be extraordinarily health-giving by many doctors around the world. Think about trying out a yoga class in your area!
