Getting Ready for Summer - Body, Mind, and Spirit

It is hard to believe that only a few months ago we were bundled up tight and weathering temperatures significantly below zero. As we start unwrapping ourselves from the parkas, hats, gloves, scarves, sweaters, and thermals, we may find a sight worthy of a scary movie - WHITE FAT! Summer is almost here for us in North Dakota - a wet spring we've had for sure, but that isn't all bad. We have experienced some weeks early in May producing temperatures in the 60's and 70's. Of course it had to snow in some parts of our state on May 25, but all in all, a pretty good start tempting us to get moving, get in shape, and for goodness sake - GET A TAN! Some of us less motivated folks look for the easy ways to lose weight and get in shape. Some of us who care to pamper ourselves look for ways to relax, heal, and dream of being thinner. Of course there are the mind bending ways of hypnosis that puts the suggestion of the vice of your choice far from your mind. Other things a person can do include body wraps, steam saunas, mud packs, and for the hard core (or those with more resolve) you could exercise. But, if you want to try something that feels good, gets hot, makes you sweat, and actually proposes a host of benefits (including the idea of weight loss) you could try an infrared body wrap.

Recently I stumbled upon this very service at a local tanning salon. Curious, I did some research and found that there were actually clinical studies with all of the information I had hoped to find. Yes, it is a little neurotic of me, but I wanted to know what the possible contra-indicators and benefits were. Mostly satisfied with this information, I called my doctors as well to see what they each had to say. To find these clinical studies, you can go to www.formostar.net and click on FormoStar Links on the left hand menu. Or you can just click here - clinical study 1 or clinical study 2.
