So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Anti Aging Advisor: Massage Chairs Start Below the Skin

By Suzie Moore

Everyone wants to look younger. Since the beginning of time, man has searched for the fountain of youth. Technology has always been applied to counter the forces of aging. Various treatments have been developed to help the skin to retain moisture and stay healthy. There have been creams and elixirs all promising younger looking skin or removal of wrinkles. Many have merit and some out just outright scams preying on the hope of people to stay young. Skin is certainly the main focus, but delve a little deeper and you will find that just below the skin are muscles and tissues which need help too. Many of the best massage chair brands are now integrating massage therapies to help your body to better retain its youth and vitality.

Two major factors which can cause the body to age rapidly is the lack of exercise and stress. Exercise helps to keep the body in top condition. The muscles stay more flexible and strength and endurance are enhanced. Without exercise, the muscles atrophy. They breakdown and they cannot support activity for long. Stress is another key ingredient to aging. Stress can cause toxins to build up in the body. These substances cause muscle stiffness and can deprive the body of precious oxygen. If left unchecked, stress will start to show up by accelerating the aging process. Both of the elements cause unnecessary and premature aging of the body and skin.

It is impossible to live life without stress. The question is how do we minimize it and quickly reverse the effects of it on the body? We come under pressure from all angles. As we are put under stress, our body reacts. Stress mobilizes your major organs and activates your muscles for action. Your body is ready to take physical action. Trouble is that most of the stress we have is mental. I am late to a meeting and I need to get in the car and drive their quickly. My body is racing, but I am sitting down in the car. Meanwhile, the stress is causing chemical reactions in the body. The body builds up waste products as well, such as toxins. But we do not give the body a physical release of these items.

If we are out running errands and are running behind what happens? We start to get nervous or stressed. We have all these things to get done and we aren't quite getting there. This builds up stress in our bodies, but we are not releasing them through any physical action. Chemicals and toxins build up in the body. They need to be released. How can we do that? One proven effective method is massage therapy. Not only does massage therapy such as shiatsu or Swedish massage help to release toxins, but it also helps us to relax. Both of these massage techniques are available in the best massage chair brands.

What about the whole body anti aging thing. Let us take a look at reflexology massage. This therapy helps to reverse the process of stress. I guess we should call is anti stress. Reflexology works by stimulating trigger points in the feet to help calm and relax the major organs. Reflexology charts have been developed showing parts of the feet and their corresponding organ that they connect with. By massaging these points, the feet send signals to calm the organs. Remember, when you were under stress, the organs send signals to the feet and hands to be ready. While the massage chair stimulates your trigger points in your feet, it is also performing a full body massage. Now your body and mind begin to relax.

Unfortunately stress is ongoing and continuous. It has become a part of modern life. To counteract this ongoing barrage of stress, your anti aging treatment must also be ongoing. Regular and frequent massage therapy is just such a treatment. The removal of the waste products of stress is an important factor in keeping the body healthy and to fight the ongoing battle with the aging process. To receive ongoing massage therapy, massage chairs are the most convenient and economical method. They offer in home convenience and can be used at any time. Keep yourself healthy and retain your youthful look with a massage chair recliner.
