Is your body asking for deep rest? Do you need a pause from the character you’ve been carrying? Do you need a reset for your nervous system? Floating creates the space to let it all go — no roles, no pressure, just stillness

Who benefits?

If you are suffering from some type of physical stress, pain or discomfort or even from a form of psychological stress or trauma. If you are a veteran or have experienced some traumatic life event and suffer from PTSD; If you are a jetsetter and abhor the effects of jet lag; If you have a painful or hindering condition such as lupus, fibromyalgia, or rheumatoid arthritis; Or if you are affected by the most prolific, debilitating condition that we all suffer from STRESS, then floating might be your drug of choice.

Imagine floating on your back in warm water containing 1,000 pounds of Epsom salts (magnesium sulfate). The salt solution makes floating on water totally effortless.

The water is about 93 degrees F, the same temperature as your skin and the room temperature is a very comfortable 80 degrees. Floating relieves pain, promotes faster healing, relaxes and de-stresses, and can even improve sleep. The benefits are obvious and immediate.

TrueREST has taken this therapeutic modality and woven it into an experience which is truly spa like that’s approachable and affordable by making it a membership service.

“It’s vital at any age to adopt good habits to live a strong, fit and healthy life,” says Dr. Mike Roussell, a nationally recognized nutrition consultant and nutrition adviser to Men’s Health and Shape. “Fueling your life with tasty and nutrient-rich foods while making sure to be active every single day are essential components to keeping your body young and vibrant.”

Roussell’s recommendation? Nuts. In particular, pistachios. “Pistachios are a multitasking nut with fiber, healthy fats, and three specific types of antioxidants that may help fight the onset of age-related conditions that lead to poor health in these 10 ways.”

1. Heart health

Large population studies show that people who regularly eat nuts, such as pistachios, have a lower risk of dying from heart disease or suffering a heart attack. Pistachios provide 360-degree cardiovascular support in that they can promote improvements in cholesterol levels, blood pressure and blood vessel function.

2. Anti-inflammatory

Excessive inflammation is one of the root causes of age-related conditions, such as arthritis. Pistachios contain a special form of vitamin E called gamma tocopherol, which has unique anti-inflammatory properties. Gamma tocopherol levels have also been shown to decrease as we age.

3. Weight loss

Being overweight can also contribute to a number of age-related illnesses. Studies show pistachios positively promote weight maintenance as the dietary fiber, fat and protein all work together to make us feel fuller and satiated longer, plus removing them from the shell slows down eating. Pistachios are also the lowest-fat nut.

4. Digestion

The fiber in pistachios also can help with digestion. Research shows that the fiber in pistachios works as a prebiotic and feeds the good bacteria in our digestive tract to improve the health of our digestive system. A single serving of pistachios contains as much as 3 grams of dietary fiber.

5. Blood glucose level

Developing adult onset diabetes, or Type 2 diabetes, is a common fear for boomers. The American Diabetes Association praises the health benefits of nuts, including pistachios, calling them a diabetes superfood because they improve how the body’s cells use glucose and how insulin responds to a carbohydrate-containing meal, namely, stabilizing blood glucose levels.

6. Skin health and appearance

UV light from the sun promotes damage and accelerates the aging of our skin. Pistachios contain two carotenoid antioxidants that are concentrated in the skin and work to filter out and protect it against the damaging effects of UV light.

7. Eyesight

Pistachios contain lutein, a nutrient known to help improve eye health, especially in older individuals. Lutein has been shown to prevent and slow down macular degeneration by providing more pigment for the eye, thereby reflecting more of the sun’s light, preventing damage to the retina.

8. Memory

Preliminary research shows that the fatty acids and antioxidants found in pistachios can help support brain health. The antioxidants in pistachios can help ward off excessive inflammation in the brain, a major cause of accelerated cognitive decline. Another study found that eating pistachios stimulated brain waves that aid the formation of ideas and memory processing.

9. Sleep

Nuts, including pistachios, are rich in minerals such as magnesium. One benefit of magnesium is that it may aid sleep because it assists in helping the muscles relax and quiet activity in the brain by working as an inhibitory neurotransmitter.

10. Energy

Pistachios have been shown to promote energy, which is why so many professional athletes consume them while training. More energy means we’ll commit to getting enough exercise.

But what is Dr. Mike’s main reason for having his clients eat pistachios? “They taste good. People are much more likely to stick to a healthy diet when the food is tasty and fun to eat.”

How? Here are a few ideas:

1. The gift of kindness. It is so much easier to be kind, in fact, by being kind you are sending out to the universe your wish to come back to you. Be kind. As you do, watch the miracles unfold.
2. The gift of optimism. I am not talking about seeing everything as it is not. That would be misleading, however, there are two sides to every coin. Try to look for the good, the amazing, the lessons in everything. There is some way to see everything in a positive light.
3. The gift of forgiveness. There is no greater gift than forgiveness. Holding anger and grudges only continues the hurt. Let go, and heal, by forgiving. Remember forgiveness is not saying what was done was acceptable, it is saying that you no longer wish to be tied to it. It is for you.
4. The gift of acceptance. Acceptance is powerful. It allows you to be in the present. Once you have acceptance, you have the power to move forward.
5. The gift of letting go. Let go of that which no longer serves you. There is no need to carry around with you all that has hurt you or that brings you anything but love.
6. The gift of gratitude. We all have something we can be grateful for. Count your blessings every day and as you do, your life will shift.
7. The gift of faith. Faith is your foundation. Have a grounding in belief, in true faith that there is something larger that loves, helps and holds you.
8. The gift of nutrition. You have complete control of the fuel that you put into your body. Allow that to be full of nutrition, so your body and brain can work it’s best.
9. The gift of fun. We tend to lose our childlike ways as we grow… go back, cut loose and have fun.
10. The gift of love. Always love yourself, no matter what. You are wonderful, give yourself the gift every day that you are amazing and worthy of love….

This holiday, these gifts will have a ripple effect. As you practice self-love, you literally set into motion loving energy that is sent out from you to all. And that is a gift we all can use.

What if you could do that in your mind? You can… the power to create such a balance, is in taking responsibility for your life, and accepting where you are today.

I was always blaming others, and basically the whole world, for what was happening to me. I allowed them to be the stars in my life story. And because I gave them the power in my life, I was not able to make changes.

We have all had less than fortunate experiences in our lives. Some things go all the way back to childhood, or just as recent as yesterday. And some of these struggles were traumatic, but unfortunately, we cannot turn back the clock. We have zero control over others, and what happened, but we do have control of how we react, and how we wish it to shape us going forward.

The moment you accept everything the way it is right now is the moment you can change and grow. You are empowered when YOU take life by the reigns and choose consciously which direction you wish to go.

Let go of blaming anyone or anything for your situation. The past is gone, let it go. To keep yourself locked in the past, does nothing to anyone, but yourself.

Taking responsibility and acceptance for your life puts the power back where it belongs, with you. This newfound freedom allows you to create your beautiful life going forward.

The clear skies and calm waters are there, waiting for you. Let go of anything that says otherwise. And if in your journey, you hit patches of rough water, know it is you who has the control to transition back to the stillness.  It is then you will understand how powerful you truly are.

However, this natural inclination is at direct odds with what happens after the holiday season, usually one of the most stressful times of the year. Because of the perceived need to rush from place to place, and overindulgence of food and drink, it is no wonder anxiety pulsates at an all-time high.

While the shopping and frenzy of visitors did not change, you absolutely should take moments for yourself now. It is imperative to your well-being to take the time over these next few months to just be. We live at the shore and are blessed to have the ocean, where you can feel at peace, relax, and recharge your energy.

Anxiety is not something to fight or run from; it is your body speaking to you. It is letting you know that you are overwhelming yourself, and it is time to rest and let go of that which is no longer needed.

Take a tip from nature, slow down and build strength from within, by maintaining a time for you every day. This will carry you after all the festivities in a healthy, balanced way while enjoying a newfound peace beyonfd wonderful chaos.
