What is Water Therapy and How Can I Benefit?

Water therapy, also referred to as “hydrotherapy” involves therapeutic treatment for your body that includes water.  Water is an extremely important element to life.  We need it to drink, wash our bodies, water our plants and many other things. Without water, every living thing would die.

Drinking Water For Optimal Health

water therapy - drinking waterThere are different types of water therapy treatments but we will start with discussing the most common and well known therapy.  Many people don’t even realize that they are living in a state of dehydration.  Signs of dehydration include:

  • Increased thirst
  • Irritable behavior
  • Dry eyes or blurry vision
  • Headaches
  • Muscle cramps
  • Lack of sweat
  • Dark urine
  • Fever
  • Dry Skin

The first and most important element of this type of water therapy is to make sure to drink water every morning upon waking.  This one decision can have a lasting impact on your overall health.  Some experts say that drinking six glasses of water daily is a good goal for optimal health.  There is, however, an even deeper level of this type of therapy that involves specific details.  Here is the method:

  1. As soon as you wake, drink  about 2.75 cups (21.6 oz) of pure water.
  2. Brush your teeth but do not eat or drink anything for 45 minutes.
  3. Eat and drink as normal throughout the day and after 15 minutes of each meal (breakfast, lunch and dinner) do not eat anything for 2 hours. Try to squeeze in as much water as possible with your meals and between meals.

This type of water therapy is one of the best therapies you could do for yourself with the potential to heal many diseases.

Thalassotherapy Bath

Thalassotherapy is a means of using seawater as a form of therapy. This type of therapy uses water and marine extracts to heal and rejuvenate the body.  It is believed that the properties of seawater are beneficial to the pores of the skin. It is also believed that certain elements in the seawater such as magnesium, potassium, calcium, sodium and iodide can absorbed through the skin.  While there is not much scientific research on this type of therapy, it is believed to be very beneficial to the body.

Your don’t have to go to far to achieve this type of therapy.  *You can purchase items such as Detox Bath Salts with Seaweed Minerals online.

Hydro Massage Therapy

Massages can be very beneficial to your health providing benefits such as pain reduction, improved circulation and relief from anxiety and stress.  There are many different types of massage techniques but one in particular is called Hydro Massage.  This is a great way to warm up and loosen your muscles.  There are deep tissue hydro massage options that can relieve tightness and knots within the body.  As with any type of massage, be sure to drink plenty of water to flush out the toxins that are released.

Beach Therapy

One of the most popular and favorite types of water therapies is the natural beach. Again, this involves the natural sea water which was referred to in thalassotherapy, but the benefits of the beach can be powerful.  Ocean water has higher amounts of minerals and many benefits that can help the body heal naturally.

Historically, doctors would recommend their patients visit the ocean to improve various illnesses.  They would actually prescribe their patients to be in the water as therapy.  So if you are able, take a trip to the beach and enjoy the benefits of this natural therapy.  You will be so glad you did!

At the end of the day, it’s about taking care of your body from the inside out so that you can live a joyful, healthy and wealthy life.  Karen Menz with Healing Rise Up, is a certified health coach who is able to help guide you into living your best life.

Taking a Vacation Is Good For Your Health

dad and daughter on vacation Many people do not realize the importance of making time for themselves.   While sacrificing and putting everyone else first, the stress stacks up and the overall health decreases.   If you are trying to live a healthy lifestyle, vacationing can be just as important as eating well and exercising.  Taking a vacation is good for your health and here is why:

Goodbye Stress

When you are stressed, your body releases a hormone called cortisol. Increased levels of cortisol can cause your insulin levels to remain high, which causes your blood sugar to drop and your cravings for sugary, fatty foods to go up.  It is a vicious cycle.  So when you take a vacation and can take a break from the every day stresses of life, your body is able to repair itself from some of the damage done by the stress.

Heart Disease

Stress has a major impact on heart disease and high blood pressure.  There have been long term studies that show vacationing can truly reduce the risk of heart disease and heart attack.  Men who took a regular vacation were more than 32% less likely to die from a heart attack while women who did the same were 50% likely to die from a heart attack. (2010 Framingham Heart Study)

Focus

Chronic stress can affect the part of the brain that causes memory problems and inhibits goal oriented activities.  If you are constantly working and never taking time off for vacation, you will find yourself feeling blocked and distracted with memory problems.  A recent survey shows that almost 75% of people who take a regular vacation feel energized and ready to tackle tasks.

Prevention of Illness

Psychoneuroimmunology is the study of the interaction between psychological processes and the nervous and immune systems of the human body.  Researchers in this field have found that stress and its adrenal dysfunction can alter change your immune system, making you more susceptible to various illnesses.  When stress levels are high, the chances of getting infections or serious conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease are much higher.  Some research shows that long-term stress may be a contributing factor to cancer.

Sex Life

Have you ever heard the term “vacation sex”?  It is actually a thing! High cortisol levels associated with stress can cause a negative feedback loop in your brain along with lower levels of the sex hormones such as testosterone.  This can contribute to a loss of libido.  Surveys show that people who take regular vacations feel sexier with a greater romance in their relationships.

Happiness

Neuroscientists have found that chronic exposure to stress can alter your brain structure which can contribute to depression and anxiety.

Research shows that women who do not take regular vacations were three times more likely to be depressed and anxious. This corroborates a survey that found people who take regular vacations reported feeling extremely happy with an overall feeling of well-being compared to those who did not vacation. And many reported these effects lasting beyond their actual vacation.

Relationships

Taking a vacation with family or loved ones can help  strengthen relationships. During a vacation, memories are made and bonds are forged closer together. A recent study uncovers a correlation between children who achieve academically and their summer family vacations.  The family bond that is made during a vacation is priceless while memories are created that will last a lifetime.

Productive Work

Believe it or not, studies show that employees who are given more vacation time actually increase company productivity while even decreasing the number of sick days taken off.  Companies with generous vacation packages enable a healthy quality of life for their employees.  This translates to a better quality of work.  Employees also report feeling more creative after taking a vacation.  More than 70% of them reported feeling satisfied with their job.

Sleep Quality

Another reason why taking a vacation is good for your health is for improved sleep quality.  When on vacation, the average person gets approximately an hour more of sleep which can carry over to when they come home.

Weight Loss

Most overweight individuals admit to overeating in response to stress. Studies show that indulging more than normal on vacation is ok and individuals can still lose weight because they are less stressed (normal cortisol production) with normal glucose levels.

Youth

Lastly, a vacation is good for your health because it keeps you young.  Chronic stress can literally speed up the aging process and contribute to many health problems.  From a health coach perspective, our recommendation is to make yourself a priority and take a regular vacation if at all possible to contribute to overall good health.

Enjoy Life Again – When to Speak to a Life Coach

Many people aren’t entirely happy with the life they’re living and desire to enjoy life again like they used to. They have dreams they haven’t achieved and don’t know how to change their lives for the better. This is when a life coach can help.

Life coaches are trained to help people examine their future goals, assess where they are in life right now and plan for any potential obstacles to reaching these goals. They help people come up with a plan of action and suggest changes that will get people closer to where they want to be in life. If you find yourself in any of the following situations, you may want to consider seeking out the services of a life coach.

When You Want to Change Careers and Enjoy Your Life

People who want to make a career change can benefit from a life coach. This is a difficult transition, but with a good plan, it is often achievable. Steps might include figuring out what you like to do, determining which jobs would be suitable, checking to see whether you have the relevant qualifications, seeking additional training if needed and then looking for a new job.
During this process, the life coach might advise you to hold onto your current job to help make the process go a bit more smoothly and be less disruptive to your current lifestyle.

When You Have Trouble Setting and Achieving Goals

Some people find that when they set goals, they don’t seem to be able to reach them. This can be very disheartening and make people feel less confident in their abilities.

One of the main reasons people fail to accomplish their goals is because they don’t make SMART goals, which are goals that are Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Results-focused and Time-bound. A life coach will be able to help with this problem.

When You Don’t Have a Good Work-Life Balance

When people focus too much of their energies in one area, it can be harmful to other areas of their lives. This is a common occurrence when people try to balance their working hours with their personal lives. An imbalance can cause people to feel unhappy or overwhelmed. Taking steps to achieve a more balanced life can help make that life more enjoyable and less stressful.

When You Need to Better Your Health

Lots of people know that if they eat better and exercise regularly, they’ll be healthier. However, it can be difficult to prioritize your health and make the necessary changes to achieve real and lasting results. A life coach can help you figure out how to stay motivated and actually follow through with your health, fitness and nutritional goals. Bettering your health can lead to a longer and more productive life.

When You Don’t Know How to Reach Your Goals

While you may have an idea of what you want to achieve, you have no idea how to get there. You’re stuck in a pattern that doesn’t work for you, but you’re not sure how to get out of this holding pattern and move forward toward achieving your aims.

The amount of work or change that’s necessary to reach a goal may seem overwhelming without some help figuring out the necessary steps to get there. The first step may be to clarify the goal a bit and make it less vague or less broad. For example, a goal of wanting to help people isn’t very specific, and this may make it harder to determine what needs to be done.

If any of these situations sounds familiar and you’re ready to do something about it, it may be time to start looking for a life coach. If you’re ready to better your life, reach out to Healing Rise Up Solutions for more information.
