Massage Techniques

Water is an essential to life. It covers 71% of the earth’s surface, and composes 70% of the fat free mass of the human body. Think about that. Water is an essential of our lives. It is key to our over all health. We often don’t think of water as being important. It is after all just water. Water helps us live healthy lives. Water is important to many aspects of our body functions. From healthy hearts to weight loss, we could not function without it.

Did you know that drinking water can help you to lose weight? When we are thirsty it is our body’s way of telling us we need fluids. In other words our body is telling us that we need water. We often times take in fluids but in the form of sodas, juices or other beverages that are loaded with calories. If we drank water instead we would stay hydrated and consume many less calories. Water also helps suppress our appetites. It is also important for metabolizing fats. What a great incentive to get our daily intake of water.

Water makes up a significant part of our bodies. As I stated at the beginning 70% of our bodies is water. That includes our brain, muscles and hearts. If we do not get enough water, our bodies do not function properly. Blood is 83% water. Muscles are 75% water. The brain is 74% water. Bone is 22% water. To keep these body organs working properly they need their fair share of water.

Water is the universal solvent. We have all heard this. What this means for our bodies is that water works to dissolve and carry key components to cells. Water can carry and distribute metabolites and hormones to cells. Many solutes are also dissolved in water also. Water contains many mineral that are important to growth, stamina, building muscle and development.

Water lubricates our bodies. Our joints need plenty of water to keep them gliding smoothly. The connective tissue surrounding joints as well as the cartilage needs water to maintain the elasticity that makes them work so well. If your cartilage and connective tissue is well hydrated then they will work more efficiently and the friction damage is minimal. Many people have less joint pain when they make sure they are getting the proper amount of water.

DERMAL K - WORLD FAMOUS VITAMIN K CLARIFYING CREAM
Spider Veins, Bruises, Burns and Scars, Eczema and Psoriasis *

At last there is an easier way to make ugly spider veins disappear… without painful shots or lasers… without the side effects of expensive surgery. Formerly available only from dermatologists and plastic surgeons, this professional strength, 5% USP-grade vitamin K cream is applied twice daily. See spider veins disappear… and stay away!* Dermal-K is also great for healing bruised, sunburned or damaged skin and fading scars.*

Method of use:
Apply twice a day. Slightly moisten the area that you want to affect with warm water to ensure the pores are open. You can use a warm, damp wash cloth as a compress to achieve this. Apply Dermal-K directly to the damaged skin or area with capillary involvement. For best results rub lightly and vigorously into the skin. Dermal-K can be applied under day cream / sunscreen / make-up, however it is recommended that you wait at least 15 minutes before applying the next product.

Allow six weeks to see improvement. The Dermal-K will probably affect the smallest veins first; this will give the impression that the diffuse redness (from microscopic veins) is fading, but you may see the larger veins more clearly because of this.

After reaching the desired results, it is recommended to use Dermal-K once a day, three days a week to prevent the capillaries from reappearing. Time of results may vary. This is due to factors such as the severity of the problem, the thickness and type of skin, and the PH balance of the skin. Do not apply into eyes or open wounds.

Father’s day gifts and father’s day presents can be tasking. Some will think of father’s day cards and trips and all manners of things. But a majority of you will be thinking of something exceptional. So why not a massage?
