Objective:-

This program helps you to acquire all the essentials for a longer life, this includes an individual dietary plan that is built around your own personal and physical requirements. The diet plan is put together with three aspects in mind a) to allow your body to rebuild itself without stressing the system b) prevention is the key, to give you protection against any serious chronic diseases your body might have a weakness towards and lastly c) we are able to help you with any current health issues. During your sat you will also have 2 one to one information and question and answer sessions on how to use the information contained in the Essentials manual which contains the rest of the information.

The building blocks of your life and indeed your decline comes from the food you eat, an inappropriate diet has two consequences. Firstly too much of the body’s resources goes into digesting foods your body has no use for or is even detrimental to your health. Some people estimate this is as high as 80% which leaves left to deal with cellular waste matter and the efficient replacing of millions of cells that replicate themselves each day. Secondly by replacing foods that age you with those that slow down aging we get an overall positive effect.

There has never been a better time to detox than right now, our bodies are constantly under attack from toxicity in the form of chemicals in the air, in our food and the products you use on own body. This toxic overload we all face can disrupt the normal functioning of the body’s systems in the long term. The symptoms that each person can experiences, varies vastly from person to person. But generally it can be anything from feeling very tired to being overweight, from general aches and pain to interfering with your hormone balance. That’s why a regular detox, perhaps once or twice a year can really take the pressure of your body and give you back your vitality and zest for daily life.

Give your body a helping hand to rid itself of excess toxicity and encouraging your body to stay healthier longer. There are others great benefits to this detox a) it can kick start some good nutrition habits b) help reduce fluid retention (help start your weight-loss health-gain program that you can take home with you)

Trying to Stay on Top of the Job

Objective – to learn how to deal with stress in a practical way, increase your general levels of energy, vitality and improve your health and business performance.

A small investment now will pay off dividends in the long run.

Program – While everyone has stress to deal with, most people see them as emotional stresses based on work, home life and or financial pressures. A huge amount of stress can and does come from the physical in the form of pain or being tired from not sleeping well, or digestive stress. I am sure you have been in situations where your energy levels are low, your neck or back is killing you, your headache is dragging you down, increasingly the physical and the emotional stress together become intolerable and staying focused and rational is difficult. Under these conditions people do not work very dynamically or positively. People often eat food that robs them of energy and causes immense stress’s within the system, this is often in the form of internal inflammation or poor organ function. This can result in low energy, shortness of breath, high blood pressure, palpitations, aches and pains and much more.

Within the executive health program each client will be seen for an individual assessment, their objectives are assessed and a view is taken of their health issues. The Haven team of International practitioners get together to talk through the best course of action for each client that might include -

• showing you how to improve your lifestyle
• treatments  for stress and pain reduction
• advice on posture and natural pain relief
• advice on low stress performance diet
• agree an appropriate fitness regime

This approach will help to improve your mental and physical energy so you can perform at a high level at work. This is a practical and intuitive approach to the problem of stress and under performing in the work place. We show you how to give your body the resources to handle and cope with stress more efficiently. We do not tell people to work less or take it easier – this usually results in making the situation more stressful. We do give you the know-how and the tools so you and your body can deal with the stress of work more effectively and efficiently.

The trick is to get help to earlier rather than later, before your health deteriorates too much.

Regain that competitive edge

This program suits the individual executive or the company who would like to enhance their management team’s performance.

For acute injury remember this

If you have just injured yourself (acute) like a strain from doing sport or exercising etc, DO NOT use heat on the injury for the first 24 to 48 hours, or take any heating herbs and spices (no chilli or ginger) and no heating creams you usually use on aching muscles or joints).

The R.I.C.E method must be used.

R – Rest

I – Ice for 5 – 10 minutes three times a day

C – Compress using a bandage, but not too tight.

E – Elevate the injury, above the heart if possible

DO NOT H.A.R.M for the first 24 to 48 hours

H – no Heat

A – no Alcohol

R – no Running or no walking or using the injured part

M – no Massage that is vigorous  or deep

Buy the loose powder in larger quantities direct from a supplier as it is more economical this way. Mix with water into a paste, put on painful stiff joints and leave  for approximately 20 to 30 minutes to penetrate the skin. Once the clay has been used, discard afterward. Remove as much of the clay as possible before having a shower – other wise the clay could block the drains.

Once you have covered the painful area/s with the clay, cover with a piece of plastic, then place a small heated pad over the plastic and clay, or a hot water bottle or a grain pillow that is heated in the microwave.

Taking a bath afterward with essential oils and/or Espson salts would would further enhance the treatment. After your bath rest and make sure you drink plenty of warm water with a squeeze of fresh lemon. Sunday would be the ideal time to do this.

Essential oils like clove, lemon, cedar wood, lavender etc

The University of Innsbruck in Austria rediscovered the health benefits of vacationing in the mountains. They discovered people who holiday in moderate altitudes had lower blood pressure and pulses rates, lost weight and slept better. Generally mountain air is pure and the scenery is breathtaking.

Mountains and forests (which go together normally) are charged with negative ions (the good ones) they have a positive effect, refreshing and rejuvenating you. The negative ion concentration in the mountains is typically 2000–4000 negative ions per cubic centimeter. A large waterfall offers around 1,000,000 per cubic cm negative ions in its vicinity (mountains are full of waterfalls). Contrast this with the negative ion concentration of 100–200 negative ions per cubic cm in a typical indoor environment and cities are not great either.

A thunder and lightening storm creates a lot of extra negative ions in the atmosphere and maybe that is where the expression “the storm cleared the air” comes from?

So there are some compelling reasons to take a break in our mountain health spa, from the fresh air, the health benefits of our treatments or our programs or the use of all the facilities – come over an visit you will not be disappointed.

To inspire health by creating a welcoming haven of beauty and tranquility that empowers you to achieve a healthier way of life.

White water rafting, bird watching, Spanish classes, private coffee tours, canopy tours, ATVs, horse riding, mountain safari and so much more a waits you.

Other research suggests that caffeine and alcohol destroy the vital nutrients needed for fat-burning.

Toxins within the body encourage free-radicals and they too use up vital nutrients that would otherwise be used for fat burning.

Weight-loss Health-gain Program

Pedometer can be purchased from us, electrical or sports stores, or off the internet.

It is thought that most people do an average of 4000 steps a day going about their daily business – the goal would be to add anything from 2000 to 3000 more steps a day.

Here are some basics –

Under 5000 = sedentary

5000 to 7000 = low activity

7000 to 10000 = medium activity

Over 10000 = active

Over 13000 = very active

If you are worried about your children’s activity levels and their health, get them to wear a pedometer for a day. From the age of 6 to 12 they need about 12000 to 15000 steps a day.

This is what most people do, restrict their food for a while (‘ go on a diet’) then go back to their normal eating habits (‘come off the diet’).

The other interesting thing about the fattening process:

* fed on raw food, animals where leaner and slimmer

* fed the same foods and the same amount of food but cooked the animals became fatter!!

Why?

Raw foods are bursting with enzymes and many nutrients are left intact, all encouraging weight-loss and health-gain.

Another successful way you can store more body fat is by lowering your metabolic rate.

How and when does this happen and how can you avoid this?

During a restricted diet, metabolism can be reduced by as much as 40%. The metabolism is the process of using energy for a whole host of functions within the body.

Research shows that women dieters consume on average 410 fewer calories per day than non-dieting women, but burn fewer calories per day than those who are non-dieters!

That really doesn’t seem fair.

Each diet lowers the metabolic rate a little more than the previous diet and takes longer each time for the metabolic rate to recover. You can find out all the secrets to health gain and weight loss.
