The Key Times' HEALTH SECTION


Launching in September 2007 on www.KeyStages.net, the Health Section of The Key Times was inspired by the specific needs of teachers. Diet, physical and mental health exercises, health news and health information will be provided in features and articles. THE HEALTH SECTION will keep teachers' health and wellbeing a central theme.


We want this section to be interesting, stimulating and fun and so The Key Times' HEALTH SECTION will not advocate arduous, thorough health regime lifechanges but it will suggest small improvements and report on them. We want you to enjoy trying some of our suggestions. In addition, HEALTH SECTION will arrange special offers and discounts for its readership.

ENJOY REDUCING STRESS
. . . Have you ever been painted from neck to toe in warm, volcanic mud? If I could encourage my readers to do one thing it would be this. You lie down on a plastic sheet wearing nothing but paper knickers (bras are optional) and rotate slowly, slippily and with muddy ease so that the therapist can slosh a good layer over every inch with what looks like an emulsion brush. This is a mud infusion. When completely covered you’re wrapped in the plastic sheet and left to luxuriate for twenty Earth-minutes. I had this treatment at Ragdale Hall. It was truly one of the best experiences in my life and I felt marverllous afterwards.


HEART HEALTH
BBC News had three articles relating to the this topic on 7th July 2007. In the first people are reported to be unable to recognise symptoms of heart disease and a heart attack. The second reported findings that 140,000 fewer than expected incidents of heart failure have been reported, suggesting that these cases are being missed. The third covered US research which found that organic food was better for the heart than non-organic varieties.

This article will list the symptoms and provide an overview of preventative measures. It will sugest ways in which Flavanoids and other beneficial antioxidants can be increased in diets and will look at simple, enjoyable exercises to increase and maintain your heart's health.


NINE MIRACLE FOODS - WE TEST THEM!
Blueberries, Apricots, Tomatoes, Broccoli, Water, Green Tea, Avocados, Nuts, Red Wine.

As I write this the HEALTH SECTION's human guinea pig is preparing for ten days of eating and drinking nothing but these miracle foods. I’ve a feeling it is something you won’t want to trial yourselves, in term time at any rate. This frank report, written by the guinea pig herself, will pull no punches. Are there benefits to be had from a dramatic change in diet? How can we integrate more of these foods into our diets? Leave it to us to find out and read this article in the 1st edition of The Key Times on http://www.keystages.net/
