Wellness Voice

I was doing some research and found the Innova gave false reports on their food which was also contaminated.
I heard the same but not as worse for Wellness.
I want to switch to either California Natural or Wellness but am not sure which one I would want. I was also considering Innova Reduced Fat.

Anyone have an take on this?
Thanks!

Hi there…according to reports the recall didn’t affect Innova or Wellness. The recall primarily was for pet products which contained contaminated wheat or corn gluten, and Innova and Wellness do not contain the cheap fillers. Innova, California Natural, and their no-grain diet called EVO are all excellent products.

Today, more than ever, there seems to be a palpable increase of people in the United States that are highly conscious of their health. In this day and age, everyone are encouraged to take control of their own personal health rather than to languish in intense regret of health complications should arise in the future. With the introduction and development of more alarming deadly diseases, every person are prompted to be more vigilant in keeping watch of their health.

One of the great additions to the growing number of home remedies for maintaining overall Wellness is the detox foot spa. Since the concept of detoxification had broken into the people consciousness, everyone seems to be scampering to find the latest and more effective detoxifying products in the market. The availability of the detox foot spa would now allow people to detoxify even in the comforts of their own home, as often as the want.

However, with the increased interest and demand for detoxification products, correspondingly, there is naturally an abundance of different detox foot spa in the health markets today. If you are contemplating of buying a detox foot spa for your personal use, you should be aware that there a number of unscrupulous distributors for the said product. You would not want to end up buying a defective or ineffective detox foot spa with no therapeutic effects, right?

You should also be forewarned that there are actually some retailers who provide misleading information and ill-advised treatment procedures. So in buying a detox foot spa, be sure to ask if the machine is made in accordance with the ISO 9001 and if the said products have met the standards of occupational hygiene. Pay particular attention to the controls of the machine, it should not be directly in the way with the foot bowl since it could possibly be drenched with water when used. The foot bowl should also be equipped with hygiene membranes

It is also a good idea to ask for a product demonstration and training before actually making a purchase. Ask if the distributor have joined in trade shows where people can readily try out their product. However, the most important thing to do is to check out the marketing materials of the said brand, and do some research if it is actually a competent product name. It is always a good idea to but a detox foot spa from a trusted name in the industry rather than to gamble to some brands with questionable reputations and face some regrets later on.

Have you ever heard of wellness programs in the workplace? If so, there is a good chance that your employer feels strongly about the benefits of this type of program. However, wellness programs in the workplace are not common among every company in every industry. In fact, there are many companies that are behind the times when it comes to employee wellness.

In order to fully understand what wellness programs have to offer, you really need to know what benefits can come from this. Generally speaking, wellness programs are implemented in order to inform and assist employees in living a healthier lifestyle.

There are many different details that go into wellness programs in the workplace. Although not all Wellness programs are the same, most of them are similar when it comes to several details. For instance, most wellness programs in the workplace touch on general health topics, dealing with mental and physical health, and even offering health screenings. With all of these factors being offered, it is easy to see why so many companies are considering a wellness program, or are taking a closer look at programs they currently offer.

So what is the point in offering wellness programs in the workplace? Remember that employees spend on average 47 hours per week at the office. And the fact of the matter is that this is only increasing as time goes on. In addition, technology such as laptop computers and cell phones are making it easier than ever before for work to follow employees home. In turn, all of this cuts into the amount of time that an employee can devote to their health and wellness. Not only will this put employees at risk for health problems, but it will also negatively affect their work performance. As you can see, a lack of health and wellness will burden both the employee as well as the employer.

Quality wellness programs in the workplace can go a long way in helping employees to lead a better life both in and out of the office. Studies have also shown that a wellness program can also help companies to increase their bottom line; and what employer is not interested in doing that?

There are many primary benefits that go along with wellness programs in the workplace. Some of the more popular ones include: increased productivity, lower health care costs, fewer physical injuries, reduced job turnover, and increased loyalty among many others.

Overall, wellness programs in the workplace are becoming more and more common. With so much to offer, it is safe to say that companies without these programs will be moving in this direction over the next few years. Remember, wellness programs in the workplace are beneficial for both employees and the employer.

These days, it seems like everyone is searching for or buying a health and wellness product. It could be caplets that you take, classes that you attend, and liquids that you drink. While many of these really are helpful, there are a lot of them that are simply a waste of your money, and, more important, your time. It can be frustrating when you start using any of these products, but you do not get the results that you had hoped for. Your frustration is warranted, but it is important not to get too discouraged. There are a lot of great items out there that can help you change your life and start living the way you have always wanted.

When you are searching for a health and Wellness product, you will want to select something that you can obtain information on. First, consider the history of the product or technique. Where did it come from? Who invented it? What are the credentials related to the person or company that invented or produced the product, class, or technique? These questions are important to ask, and, if you cannot get satisfactory answers, you might want to seek help somewhere else. If you go to the website of a product, class, or technique, and you cannot seek this information, or cannot call and obtain it, then something is wrong! Services that are worth your time and money are upfront, honest, and will provide you with all of the information that you need to make an informed choice.

Next, you will want to think about how well the health and wellness product fits your needs or expectations. Are you signing up to learn a new technique that is mainly for depression, or do you suffer from anxiety? You might find a particular technique that is not quite right for you, and, instead of forcing it to work for you, you will want to find something that fits your needs perfectly. Really consider all of the benefits that are claimed about the item, and make sure that it is something that will likely give you what you need and expect from the item. Also, make sure that your expectations are realistic. When you have very high or unrealistic expectations, you are only setting yourself up for disappointment. Choosing the right item, class, or technique is of great importance.

The term spa is traditionally used to mean a place where water that is believed to have special health-giving properties occurs. This is usually a mineral or hot spring, and can include cold water treatments. The term is derived from the Belgian town of Spa.

A business traveler wants to minimize jet lag. A mother of three wants some time to herself. A group of friends plans a birthday celebration. A man with back pain seeks relief. A teenager is troubled by acne. A weekend warrior is sore from overexertion. A man decides to stop smoking. A busy executive wants to rediscover spirituality. A woman wants help establishing a safe and effective exercise regimen. An obese man needs help controlling his weight. A pregnant woman wants to feel more comfortable. A couple wants to reconnect. Where can all these people go for help? A spa.

The growing spa industry, valued at around 6 billion dollars in the US alone (ISPA Industry Study 2000, Price Waterhouse Coopers LLP), represents more than just another consumer market. It reveals a pressing need for those in the wealthy western world to re-evaluate rather than elaborate their life-styles.

A destination spa or resort spa is a business establishment which people visit for personal care treatments such as massages and facials in a hotel setting. Destination spas are often in exotic locations or in spa towns. Destination spas offer similar services to a beauty salon or a day spa, but people reside at a destination spa instead of just visiting for a treatment. Resort spas are generally located in resorts.

Today’s spa is a center for healing and nourishing mind, body, and spirit. People go to spas for fitness, stress management, peace of mind, pampering and pleasure, and health and Wellness. Spas offer a wide variety of techniques and services – traditional and modern, from the East and from the West – to meet the diverse needs of their clients: Swedish, Japanese Shiatsu, and Thai massage, European facials, acupuncture, Dead Sea salt scrubs, Moor mud wraps, aromatherapy, reflexology, reiki, aura imaging, hypnotherapy, classes in nutrition, meditation, journaling, yoga and Tai Chi, state-of-the-art fitness centers with personal trainers, and much more. Other types of spas include day spas, club spas, cruise ship spas, medical spas, and mineral spring spas.

Typical spa services include:
nutrition counseling
weight loss
medical treatment
massage
reflexology
facials – facial cleansing with a variety of products
nail care
waxing – the removal of body hair with hot wax
body treatments such as body wraps, aromatherapy
skin exfoliation

Not every spa includes every domain. Spas come in many shapes, sizes, and focuses – from day spas where you can get a single treatment to destination spas where you can stay for a week or more to medical spas that treat cosmetic and chronic health problems.

For well over a decade now, it’s become increasingly clear that hotel and resort spas are here to stay! Properties that added a spa or upgraded their existing spa have benefited enormously. Increasingly, the savvy, health-conscious guest will choose to spend time at a property where spa services are offered. Since prestige levels, as well as occupancy levels, are elevated, staffing these spas with top-quality personnel will continue to be a priority for these hotels and resorts.

In order to become a spa therapist you need to have a unique combination of skills and require a great deal of training. You will also have to possess an almost unrivalled ability in a vast array of skills. You will have to be an excellent communicator not only with your friends and the people you know well, but with people from every age group, social background, ethnic origin, occupation and gender.

You will need to have a high degree of physical stamina due to the nature of the work and long working hours
You will have to learn basic rules of chemistry, physics, human anatomy, physiology and mathematics
You should be highly dextrous
Your personality should be vibrant, sparkling, strong and interesting
You should be diplomatic, sympathetic and have the ability to listen and communicate well
You will have to be prepared to undertake a long initial training and then to continue training for the rest of your working life.

To find all these qualities in a single individual is very difficult. That is why good spa therapists are rare and rare skills should be rewarded. The pay while training may be low, but it is often enhanced with tips and gratuities from clients and will be increased further by commission earned through selling retail products to clients. Spa therapists in top spas and those who progress to supervisory or management positions will earn even more.

Spa Directors
A Spa Director at a top-quality resort or hotel will oversee many areas, such as staffing, training, product purchasing, merchandising, setting up a strong retail outlet, budgeting and forecasting. He or she may be asked to help market the spa and be knowledgeable about Internet advertising and have Public Relations’ contacts. Spa Directors are often asked to help design new or additional spa areas and see the project through to opening. A seasoned Spa Director with a broad range of experience may be compensated in the $70-125K range.

A Spa Director just starting out at a small to mid-sized spa will, of course, not be offered as high a salary. The general salary range for this Director will typically be in the $50-65K range. All candidates must have a high level of operational experience and several certifications, including CPR and First Aid. The letters in CPR stand for cardiopulmonary resuscitation, a combination of rescue breathing (mouth-to-mouth resuscitation) and chest compressions. If a man isn’t breathing or circulating blood adequately, CPR can restore circulation of oxygen-rich blood to the brain. Without oxygen, permanent brain damage or death can occur in less than 8 minutes.

Assistant Spa Directors/ Spa Operations Managers
Salary range is generally $40-65K, dependent on the factors cited above and location, cost of living, etc. Candidates must have previous experience in a spa setting.

Taking a CPR Course
Qualified instructors use videos, printed materials, and demonstrations on mannequins representing infants, children, and adults to teach proper techniques for performing CPR. The American Heart Association’s basic life support course that includes CPR lasts about 6 hours and is sometimes held in two separate sessions. The courses teach CPR procedures for infants (under 1 year old), children (1 to 8 years old), and adults.

Participants practice the techniques on mannequins and have opportunities to ask questions and get individualized instruction. The final test for the course is a combination of demonstrating CPR skills and taking a written test.

Once considered to be a luxury, the services offered by spa therapists are enjoyed by an ever-increasing number of people. Spa facilities range from day spas, to spas in hotels and holiday resorts, some of which are in exotic locations.

Not anymore.With nearly 48% of our waking hours spent at work, coupled with America’s ranking as the world’s fattest nation, corporate Wellness is not just a fluffy HR benefit – it’s a business necessity that has far-reaching implications for corporations, their employees and society as a whole. Few will debate the profound effect a wellness program can have on the bottom-line-both literally and figuratively. It’s a no-brainer for most employers: healthy employees add up to a happier, more productive workforce, resulting in lower health claims and decreased costs for employers, and a subsequent ROI on wellness programs. The real challenge is implementation and employee participation.

Read on to discover:

• Three Key Questions to Consider When Implementing a Corporate Wellness Program
• Four Ways to Boost Employee Participation in Your Corporate Wellness Program

Three Key Questions to Consider When Implementing a Corporate Wellness Program

Adding a wellness component to a corporate benefits plan may sound like a great idea -but it can be administratively complex to implement and manage. Here’s the skinny on what you need to consider if you really want your program to pack a powerful punch:

1. What can your company afford to invest in its wellness program? Okay, deep breath, this may make you break a sweat: The Business Roundtable reports that in 2007 almost 40 percent of large companies in the US spend more than $200,000 annually and 20 percent spend at least $1 million on corporate wellness. Yes, that’s a lot, but consider what it costs in employee productivity and absenteeism if you don’t help employees optimize their health and well-being. In fact, a 2007 study conducted by the Milken Institute found that lowering the obesity rates alone could produce productivity gains of $254 billion and avoid $60 billion in treatment expenditures annually for companies.

2. Do you have the tools and staff to implement a successful program? A benefits management system must be in place to support a corporate wellness program and companies must have the tools and technology to track participation, issue rewards, and adjust health plan premium payments accordingly. You may need to consider investing in additional HR staff or outsourcing the benefits administration to an organization that already has the tools, processes, and procedures in place to integrate a wellness program with your existing benefits program. You want your HR staff to focus on running an effective program instead of worrying about logistics. Learn more about outsourcing your benefits management at www.secova.com.

3. How will you measure program effectiveness and ROI – or will you invest those dollars in making employees healthier? Wellness programs have been shown to produce an overall return on investment of 1.5:1 to 3:1 after three to five years, meaning that for every dollar invested in wellness, employers can expect to save between $1.50 to $3.00 (Human Resource Executive 2007). But you must decide what approach you want to take when it comes to investing money in measuring your program’s ROI. A survey conducted in 2006 by the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans, shows that 87 percent of 464 benefits professionals and plan sponsors didn’t know the ROI of their programs. On average, 5 to 10 percent of a wellness program’s cost is spent measuring ROI and program effectiveness. Proof is out there that wellness programs have significant ROI for companies; however, companies must determine what approach they want to take regarding investing dollars in the measurability of their programs’ return on investment. This issue of measuring ROI brings up an important question: where do you want to spend your dollars? Calculating ROI or focusing on making employees healthier? A number of companies actively supporting very successful wellness initiatives have opted not to track detailed ROI. But beware: according to most in the “C” suite, if you can’t measure it, you can’t manage it. Measuring the overall wellness program effectiveness from a dollars perspective may be necessary to ensure that the programs continue to receive buy-in (read: budget) from upper- management.

Four Ways to Boost Employee Participation in Your Corporate Wellness Program

Merely offering corporate wellness programs doesn’t result in the ROI that executives want to see. The challenge is increasing employee participation since higher participation results in greater ROI. Here are four effective strategies to move employees beyond their same old routine:

1. Offer Incentives & Rewards Let’s face it – most people need help getting motivated, which is why Americans are in the physical shape that we’re in today. Companies can drive participation in wellness programs through extrinsic motivation such as incentives (both negative and positive) and rewards. Want to get an employee initially engaged? Negative incentives will do the job (for example, charging employees an additional $25 premium on their monthly benefit contribution if they do not take their Health Risk Assessment). But for ongoing participation, you’ll find positive incentives and rewards to be most beneficial. Then, once employees see results, they develop intrinsic motivation. Some companies are offering rewards such as discounted insurance premiums, expanded benefits, or even cash. The primary goal? Immediate gratification so employees experience instant results for their participation.

2. Engage 1-on-1 Engaging employees on a one-on-one basis is key to further developing intrinsic motivation where they actually want to be healthier. While incentives and rewards are highly effective in engaging employees, real change happens when individuals set personal goals and commit to achieving them. Companies can foster this by offering a more personal approach where employees work to develop personal, measurable goals that can be rewarded. For example, employers can offer consulting sessions with certified health coaches or even personal training sessions targeted at meeting that employee’s goals.

3. Foster a Healthy Environment From providing on-site fitness facilities and nutritional consulting, to offering healthy snack options in vending machines, the corporate environment needs to embrace a healthy approach to living. Media powerhouse Discovery Communications offers an on-site Wellness Center that offers a full range of primary care services from urgent care to preventive care and other wellness services, all offered to employees and their dependents at no charge. Other perks at Discovery: on-site massage therapy, fitness classes, nutritional counseling, life coaching, employee support groups, and company-wide body challenge competitions – to name a few. “Discovery’s philosophy,” says Evelyne Steward, Vice President Global Wellness & Work Life Strategies, “is that we must take responsibility for creating win-win partnerships with our employees in support of their health.” Employees need to see that wellness is not merely an initiative – but a way of life.

4. Provide the Tools Internal corporate wellness campaigns should be implemented to increase participation and provide employees with the information to be successful. Take Chevron Canada, for example. Senior executives launched a 10k-a-Day program to promote employees taking 10,000 steps per day. To promote participation, Chevron provided all employees with a pedometer and will kick off 2009 by providing employees with a fitbook, a fitness and nutrition journal, to track their progress. Employees set personal goals and are rewarded with Chevron Bucks for completing their fitbook and reaching their goals. Education is an option employers should offer. And it doesn’t have to be complicated or expensive- consider on-site health presentations, workshops, or even lunch-time webinars.

The Bottom Line: Beyond ROI

The tangible benefits of corporate wellness initiatives are clear: reduced costs, lower absenteeism, improved productivity, and overall ROI. What cannot be measured is the value that employers can add to their employee’s lives every day by not only giving them a paycheck, but providing them with an opportunity to improve and enhance their own lives. The Dow Chemical Company embraces the idea that improving corporate financial performance is not the key driver behind its corporate wellness initiatives. Gary Billotti, Global Leader of Health & Human Performance at Dow, views corporate wellness as an “investment in our people versus a cost of doing business.” Billotti explains that their primary goal is to support their employees in optimizing their health and performance both at home and at work, knowing that “if we support our people the financial results will come.” So here’s the bottom line – plain and simple: corporate wellness is a must. So consider this a challenge to get out there and make a difference in the lives of your employees -and your own.

Health and wellness products are aimed to promote a healthy lifestyle by catering to the physical, as well as mental and emotional aspects of health.

Health and wellness products are used to take care of the body and mind by managing stress, aiding healthy eating habits, as well as maintaining a safe environment.

When someone speaks of wellness, they are referring to what is called “alternative medicine,” which deals with the state of being healthy and health-conscious.

Well Being

When determining the well being of a person, many factors are taken into consideration. Some of these factors include nutrition, disease prevention, environmental influences, as well as public health issues.

There are health and wellness products on the market that explore and achieve this sense of well-being which alternative medicine offers.

Health and wellness products are based upon the idea and practice that the body as a whole should be taken care of after the basic living necessities are in order. This concept of wellness was developed into a popular concern during the late 19th century. This came at a time when the public began to place emphasis on self-improvement.

Many early health and wellness products were considered simple items like toothpaste, mouthwash and certain cereals, which were marketed as such at that time.

Blood pressure machines, cholesterol tests and glucose meters can also be considered a health and Wellness product because they monitor some of the body’s overall state of health. Other health and wellness products include vitamins or items which avoid certain food elements that have been proven to lower a person’s well being.

Preventive Health Care

There are some people who wish to follow a variety of preventive health care methods, including homeopathy, as well as herbal medicine, which provides an array of different health and wellness product options. These practices are considered alternative because there is no concrete scientific evidence to prove whether these methods are effective.

Jewelry

Some health and wellness products can come in the form of jewelry, such as Balance Bracelets, which are supposed to decrease pain, as well as increase energy.

To ease joint pain, some will turn to the use of copper bracelets, rings and anklets for treating the discomfort caused by arthritis and tendonitis.

Another health and wellness product utilizes magnetic therapy, which can be found in the form of bracelets, rings, necklaces, bangles, as well as magnetic wraps.

Healing Energy

Plenty of health and wellness products can be found on the Internet that embraces the concept of Reiki healing energy. There are items include transformational beeswax ear candles, which are made up of herbs, flower essences and crystals. Some people use this form of alternative medicine to increase the strength of their aura.

Other health and wellness products that are available include:

· Light Therapy Products, such as portable desk lamps that offer a person 10,000 lux of diffused light that can be used to treat seasonal conditions.

· Herbal Supplements, including kava, ginseng, noni juice and energy drinks.

· Gemstone Therapy Products, including jewelry and crystals for the purpose of healing, as well as psychic enhancement purposes.

· Colloidal Silver and Zinc, which comes in the form of a pill, is used as an immune booster.

For years, I’ve been thinking about a major career move. I have this idea of becoming an anti-aging specialist. I’ve discovered three different schools and or courses that would help me achieve this goal.

I would have to become a qualified personal trainer from the National Academy of Sports Medicine, go to school for aesthetics (figured Skin Science in Utah might be the best choice) and receive a certification from the American College of Anti-Aging Sports Medicine.

With all of these combined, I’d plan to open my own practice. Rather unique, because I actually have a passion for health, fitness, skincare etc. One Problem!

How do women feel about having a male aesthetician? No waxing or make-up, although that’s in the curriculum, but I’d be more concerned with doing facial services, skin evaluations and various other spa treatments, along with doing personal training sessions, and teaching fitness classes.

The idea is to help others maintain and preserve their natural beauty without drugs or medical procedures.

In my mind, this could be really exciting, and an extremely lucrative business. I just want to know what the women think, considering spa and Wellness is a female dominated industry.

Be honest.

Although I have never had a male aesthetician, it wouldn’t matter to me if the individual was male or female, just as long as they provide great service.
