Heat Up Your Health! News for the Sauna Lifestyle
April 2005

The last month has seen a huge swing in the weather in our region, and there were a few fleeting moments that gave pause to the pleasure of that 'warm summery delight'. You know the feeling - bright sunny days, trips to the beach, children laughing, families playing, everyone swimmimg and splashing...SWIMMING AND SPLASHING!?!?!

That, of course, is the yearly realization that to 'swim and splash' anywhere near a beach (or pool) one needs to entertain the notion of donning 'swimwear' once again! Naturally, the first reaction is to convince yourself that you weren't that bad during the winter - until you take more than a fleeting glance into the next mirror that you pass! YIKES! You throw away your autographed hardcover copy of 'POWER DENIAL: The Sublime Journey of Self Acceptance' and wonder whether you've let it go too late again this year!

Well, we're thinking- its early April for heaven's sake - there's still time to shed a few unwanted winter layers and accommodate this years splashin' fashions! So we thought we'd address one of the things we obsess about throughout the year anyway - weight loss!

Statistics show that more than 90% of all adults believe they are overweight by at least ten pounds. Are you one of them? So how about actually doing something about those extra few pounds you've been lugging around? We're here to help. Once again, we've scoured the web for the most interesting, ground breaking and relevant information out there to help you shed those poundages for good.

In this issue you can calculate your Body Mass Index, read about children and obesity, discover how the sun's rays can help you lose weight and learn about negative (?) calorie foods. (Oh yeah - we're liking the sound of that too...negative calorie chocolate, perhaps?)

With two months to go until the official start of summer - let's slim down, tone up and walk into our local swimwear shop and announce with pride and defiance - "I'll take that yellow polka dot bikini this year!"

Until next month,

Warmest Regards!

    Obesity is associated with more than 30 diseases from diabetes to hypertension. If you are obese, reducing your weight by only 10% can add years to your life! Read about how excess fat kills and how you can regain control over your health.


    The Skinny on Canadian Fat

    And we're not talking bacon here! OK - this one will require more than just sitting there and reading. You'll have to type a little as well (they tell us it actually burns calories...). Here's your chance to assess how your BMI (Body Mass Index) and your WC (Waist Circumference) conspire together to increase your risk of developing health problems. Your tax dollars at work...


    Negative Calorie Foods?

    We remember with fondness the early heady days of embracing our new existence as 'Breathairians'. The concept was to get our nourishment entirely from the air we'd breathe. Our problem was that we lived above a bakery in Jersey City that specialized in European pastries so our resolve never stood a chance - but the concept remains. Here's a list of foods that actually take more calories to digest than they contain!

    Nowadays, we keep a twelve- pack of Cinnzeo's on hand to sniff at during emergencies...


    13 Weight Loss Tips for Kids

    Now we'd all like to believe that our children are the smartest kids out there and they do all of the right things and make all of the right choices...but the reality is - we're talking about kids here! They will need our help and guidance for a very long time - and to read about an obesity epidemic in children - well we have to all accept our responsibility for that - don't we! Here's the first tip - "Be a good role model!"


    What's In That Stuff, Anyway?

    Find out what's really in those weightloss products - you'll be surprised and in some cases, shocked. Shocked, we tell you! SHOCKED!


    The Dangers of Soft Drinks

    You just will not believe the statistics of what comes in soft drinks and how they contribute to our general decline in good health. Sometimes it is just too easy to reach for another soda - but always remember - water is your friend!


    Natural Appetite Suppressant!
