Small Business Owner Productivity is an Ounce of Prevention

Next, worth mentioning is the “FIR Sauna” or Far Infra-Red Sauna,
named for the frequency spectrum of the infra-red waves, non-harmful radiation warmth as opposed to Ultra-Violet radiation used in tanning beds with many harmful effects on humans. FIR Sauna warrants a good examination for any business professional looking to rid themselves of chemicals and toxins trapped in the tissues after years of abuse and misuse of one’s body.
FIR Sauna radiation penetrates the deep tissues heats at a cellular level liberating toxins and chemicals stored in adipose tissue, muscles and organs that may have been there for many years. FIR Sauna does not heat the air surrounding the individual to any significant degree thus making it more tolerable for some. Aside from the risk of dehydration and electrolyte imbalance that any sauna has, FIR Sauna reportedly may increase in the blood stream the many harmful toxins at once and some fear an adverse physiologic reaction in theory not supported in practice. As with any spa therapy informing oneself of the risks and benefits and the reputation of the center is critical to safe use of any therapy.
Lastly, although the field of self-help therapies, programs, pills and such is lengthy we end with perhaps the most under-rated, absolutely critical and most abused natural therapy that we all need, SLEEP…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.
It is as if being an ambitious professional business person is synonymous with having to sacrifice our sleep to achieve our goals. Many times a young professional is evaluated with how many waking working hours he/she puts in and is lauded for their lack of dependency on rest and sleep. This misguided notion underlies the U.S. work ethic and is perhaps the most damaging practice we can pass on to mentees.
Not just any sleep is important for health, but deep Stage III REM sleep, the kind that cannot be induced by Ambien, alcohol or any other artificial substance. That level of sleep is difficult to achieve for most professionals in an anxiety ridden hectic existence. Those professionals that choose to make planned and structured sleep a priority equal to PAN will reap the health and longevity benefits documented in scientific study after study. Sleep is the regenerative phase of our physiology, were physical and emotional wounds heal, when we lose weight, when our neural circuits reset and replenish their vital stores of nutrients. Without sleep we truly will become the walking dead.
In conclusion, any business professional worth his or her salt, places their personal health and wellness needs at the forefront of their day. For most, the evidence provided today simply reaffirms habits that have long been instilled in practice. For those looking for solutions to the most common human health ailments, look no further than the mirror and surrounding environmental influences in which you live and work.
