Hot Tub Jets

Hot Tub Jets
When considering which model or Spa brand to buy the
question has to be asked is it true that the number of
Jets in a Hot Tub really matter or is it a question of how
these Jets are designed to produce that ever so nice hydro
massage effect that every body enjoys so much.

Some cheap Hot Tubs which are usually cheap imports from
the East claim to have many Jets but many times there are
just simple pin point Jets, which do not rotate, or cross
fire and are un-adjustable and in my view not really worth
having but can look very enticing to a prospective
purchaser. These Jets can be intense and as they are not
adjustable they can actually be painful. You want the very
latest in design whereby the Jets provide a vigorous
massage to loosen those tight knotted muscles and at the
same time increase the blood and oxygen circulation which
helps to bring nutrients to sore muscles and joints.

It is highly amusing when you get some so called hot tub
specialists (usually the ones with sun glasses on) talking
about the number of jets in a Hot Tub with out having even
taken into account the strength of the pumps which are
going to power those very Jets..

So these many jets (not that many really) do not have
enough power to actually make these Jets perform properly,
So for performance in a Hot Tub it is just not a simple
question of the number of Jets but it does come down to
things like engineering and design and the combination of
the Jets with the correct motors and water pumps to produce
the better balanced all round product More often than not,
these Hot Tubs with lower rated motors have to have a
diverter valve fitted so that other parts of the spa can be
turned off to get any decent power where one is actually
sitting.

I know a few UK dealers who sell spas like this, which they
describe as unbranded models as the manufacturer has
deliberately produced a cut down model. That is fine as
long as they are priced accordingly and the consumer
understands that he is not buying the top of the range
model nor indeed a middle range model but a bottom of the
range model.

What does all this mean - well in simple terms it is a
cheap spa- because it is over jetted and underpowered. In
truth, a spa with fewer properly designed and engineered
jets but plenty of power is a much better buy than one,
which is underpowered and has too many jets for the pump to
cope with.

Usually the maker here is out to save some money on his
production costs or perhaps it is a cheap import. The
manufacturer will use a standard or probably a mould from
production hence the too many jets and to save money fits
underpowered motors to drive the pumps. Some times these
are sold as unbranded products as the maker does not want
to put his name to them, as he well knows that they are a
cheaper line.

Your Immune System is Your Main Line of Defense!

Your Immune System is Your Main Line of Defense!
The paradox is that antibiotics were developed to help the
immune system, but in reality they actually impair it. This
paradoxical effect was first noted in 1950, but couldn't be
confirmed, and it was only in 1972 at the Baylor School of
Medicine in Houston that it was documented that some
antibiotics actually prevented white blood cells from
attacking and killing bacteria. Organizational culture and
political networks in organizations operate in an analogous
way to the human immune system. When they are working well,
they prevent bad thinking? Often, these agents target key
immune system cells and cause secondary responses such as
increased production of cytokines and immunoglobulins. Two
nonspecific immunomodulating agents used in cancer
treatment are bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG ) and
levamisole.

What determines how they will affect you are the state of
your emotional immune system: The defenses you have in
place to keep that toxic stuff outside. Through a series of
steps called the immune response, the immune system attacks
organisms and substances that invade our systems and cause
disease. The immune system is made up of a network of
cells, tissues, and organs that work together to protect
the body. For example, methotrexate (a prescription
systemic medication used to treat psoriasis) binds to an
enzyme involved in the rapid growth of cells that is
triggered by the immune system response in psoriasis. The
problem is methotrexate affects other systems in the body,
too.

In addition, combining certain specific viral antigens such
as distemper with adenovirus 2 (hepatitis) has been shown
to influence the immune system by reducing lymphocyte
numbers and responsiveness. In contrast, the innate immune
system does not demonstrate immunological memory. However,
if the immune system is stressed and not functioning
properly, a cancer cell may multiply before the immune
system has a chance to kill it. Once a whole tumor has
grown, it becomes difficult, if not impossible, for the
immune system to fight it.

Many times people say my immune system is down as a way of
speaking. But the main thing is that you have been through
so much, your life has been disrupted and derailed.
Together these processes dictate where and to what extent
the immune system exerts its influence. Advanced vertebrate
animals, a group that includes humans, defend themselves
against such microorganisms by means of a complex group of
defense responses collectively called the immune system.

Antibodies alone are not capable of killing infectious
agents; however, the antigen-specific antibodies help to
control disease by binding the infectious agents for
destruction by the complement or phagocyte immune systems.
They can also attach to and neutralize toxins produced by
infectious agents. Allergies result from immune system
hypersensitivity to weak antigens that do not cause an
immune response in most people. Allergens, substances that
cause allergies, include dust, molds, pollen, cat dander,
certain foods, and some medicines (such as penicillin). In
most cases, the immune system does a great job of keeping
people healthy and preventing infections. But sometimes
problems with the immune system can lead to illness and
infection.

The organs involved with the immune system are called the
lymphoid organs, which affect growth, development, and the
release of lymphocytes (a certain type of white blood
cell). The blood vessels and lymphatic vessels are
important parts of the lymphoid organs, because they carry
the lymphocytes to and from different areas in the body.
The goal is to kick-start the body's immune system by
"provoking" it with the bacteria, which are modified to
trigger an attack on the cancer. Stanley Tan of Loma Linda
University in California have been studying the effects of
laughter on the immune system. To date their published
studies have shown that laughing lowers blood pressure,
reduces stress hormones, increases muscle flexion, and
boosts immune function by raising levels of
infection-fighting T-cells, disease-fighting proteins
called Gamma-interferon and B-cells, which produce
disease-destroying antibodies.

Science may one day succeed in solving all the secrets of
the immune system and even produce a similar artificial
system by imitating the actions of these cells. No doubt,
this task will require highly educated professionals using
the most sophisticated technology and instruments
available, working in highly advanced laboratories. While
there is no scientific evidence that taking echinacea daily
for months is harmful, moderation is still the main
component for improvement. Another theoretical concern is
that any drug that tampers with the genetic material of a
virus cell (as echinacea does) could also affect the
genetic material of cells in the body or could cause
viruses to change genetically and become more resistant and
more virulent. These defenses comprise our so-called innate
immune system. Similar defense strategies are found in
lower animals, and they can be seen as early evolutionary
solutions to deal with infectious diseases.

Each of the cells in the innate immune system binds to
antigen using pattern-recognition receptors. These
receptors are encoded in the germ line of each person.
Sometimes the immune system attacks the animal it belongs
to. This causes an autoimmune disease, such as rheumatoid
arthritis, juvenile diabetes and many other serious
diseases. Today, in the 21st century, we have advanced
immune boosters or immunomodulators that can jumpstart your
immune system. The key is to balance your God given immune
system to get it working more efficiently and now there is
something that can help you.

How A Fitness Trainer Can Transform Your Body And Change Your Life...Permanently

How A Fitness Trainer Can Transform Your Body And Change Your Life...Permanently
How To Find A Quality Fitness Trainer

Regardless of your fitness goals, you can benefit from a
local Spokane fitness trainer. For those who need to lose a
few extra pounds to those who need to physically transform
their entire body, a fitness trainer can assist you in
reaching your unique goals.

That Extra Edge

While the aspect of motivation is not the most effective or
important benefit of your Spokane Fitness Trainer, it is a
very important one to say the least. The main issue that
people seem to have when trying to achieve a greater level
of personal health is that they simply lack the motivation
to complete their fitness goals.

They learn that the road to reach their individual goals is
much harder than they originally anticipated. Your personal
fitness trainer can give you that motivational boost
necessary to complete all of your fitness goals so that you
can reward your body with an improved quality of health.
All people will not require the extra motivation from their
personal Spokane trainer but the extra boost will help.

The Ultimate Benefit Of A Fitness Trainer

The Fitness Trainer can assist you in managing your fitness
plan. The trainer can help you plan every aspect of your
workout, from the foods that you eat to the various types
of exercises that you do. Since everyone is not an expert
on fitness, it is nice to have someone who can show you
tips on how you can get the most out of your workout
sessions. Your trainer will be there from the first day
that you enlist their helpful service, which means that you
will have someone watching over your fitness routine even
if you are not.

Since you will not have to deal with the stress of planning
your fitness schedule, you can place your concentration on
reaching your fitness goals and allow the fitness trainer
to concentrate on everything else. This is extremely
helpful for those with hectic schedules as they will not be
forced to keep up with every detail of their personal
fitness plan.

Exercise Efficiency

Your fitness trainer will make sure that your exercise
sessions are as efficient as possible. Many people exercise
with the goal of reaching better health but fail to do so
as they are doing the wrong types of exercise. For example,
someone trying to build their leg muscle may be
participating in exercises that do little or nothing to
improve the amount of muscle in their legs. A personal
trainer will teach you the exercises that specialize in
improving the part(s) of the body that you wish to improve.

Dieting Success: The Ultimate Secret To Rapid Results

A personal fitness trainer will show you the types of foods
that you need to eat to reach your desired level of
fitness. A regular diet will not provide efficient results
for most types of workout plans so it is important that you
enlist the help of a fitness trainer to tailor a diet to
your individual workout regiment. Your personal trainer
will have the knowledge to know which types of foods and
nutrients are important to your workout along with the
types of foods that you should avoid while reaching your
fitness goals.

Reach Your Fitness Goals Permanently

If you are a Spokane resident and are wishing to reach your
fitness goals, you should speak with your local fitness
trainer today. Your fitness trainer will provide you with
the building blocks that will build the road to reach
better health if you take the opportunity to enlist their
fitness services.

Quick Nutrition Tip for You

Quick Nutrition Tip for You
Quick Fat Loss Nutrition Tip for You

Who else is busting their butt in the gym and not getting
the fat loss results they deserve?

Almost everyone, I know, I know.

Listen, you have to fix your nutrition. No more foods from
a bag or a box. Switch over to more fruits and vegetables.

Now I know you're not just going to wake up and eat 10
servings of vegetables tomorrow. Besides, your stomach and
co-workers wouldn't appreciate it.

But you have to make little changes every day, week, month
& year for fat loss. We can always get better. So this
weekend, start with one new item from the produce aisle to
help control your appetite, regulate your blood sugar, and
burn belly fat.

If you want to lose fat, live longer & healthier, and have
more mental and physical energy to get through your day,
you need to put premium fuel in your body's engine.

Not grease. Not sugar. Not quick fixes. You have to plan
ahead. But don't worry, it doesn't take much time.

Start by eating several small meals each day, focusing on
protein and fiber-rich foods.

Combine that with the short, convenient strength and
interval training workouts and you'll feel like a million
bucks.

We are all a work in progress, so never give up on your
ability to change your body at any age.

Nutrition & exercise are as powerful as the drugs your
doctors are handing out.

So fight back against aging and body fat naturally.

Here's a diet I've used in the past to get super lean.

If you avoid the Western Lifestyle eating habits that tempt
you on a daily basis, and live according to the strength
and intervals Lifestyle, you can lose fat and gain muscle.

I'm going to tell you the best way to eat for fat loss and
muscle gain on a 2100 calorie per day diet.

You might say that you can't eat like this, but the truth
is even if you start making only one change per day you
will start to see improvements.

Make this a goal that you will start today: to choose one
healthier food option per day that will get you one step
closer to your lean body. Here are the guidelines.

- 6 meals per day. If you can't do that, combine a couple
of meals to get down to 4 meals per day. Even most busy
people can do 4 meals/snacks per day.

- Remove all sugar from diet.

- Have at least 1g of protein per pound of bodyweight (to a
maximum of 250g per day)

- Have 3 servings of fruit per day (sticking to high-fiber
fruits such as apples or grapefruit and high-antioxidant
fruits such as berries)

- Drink at least 4 cups of Green Tea

- Follow Dr. John Berardi's 90% rule - if you eat according
to the guidelines 90% of the time, you can cheat 10% of the
time and still make incredible body changes.

This is the exact meal plan & training plan I follow to get
ultra-lean.

I'd probably only need 3 weeks before I would be ripped -
this approach is super fast and effective. Plus, I'm
already very lean because I avoid the Western Lifestyle and
live the strength and interval Lifestyle everyday.

Beauty - How to make it skin deep?

Beauty - How to make it skin deep?
It is an old saying that "beauty lies in the eyes of the
beholder" yet women and men are seen resorting to frantic
measures in order to restore their youth and enhance their
beauty. There could not be one woman in the world who is
completely satisfied with her looks. No matter how
beautiful she is, there would always be one aspect of her
external beauty that she would like to improve and work
upon. Women around the world crave to have a flawless and
rosy complexion and a younger looking skin. In order to
achieve the perfect skin, they follow skin care routines
religiously.

A recent article in a beauty magazine claimed that there
are no ugly women in the world. There can be only two types
of women - beautiful and lazy. The ones who are careful
about their skin and take the pains in order to maintain
their youth are beautiful. The latter category, which is
usually lazy, is simply left wishing for a beautiful face
and a beautiful figure to flaunt, but they don't do
anything in order to improve their looks. It has been
proved by skin experts around the world that taking proper
care of the skin and following the right skin care routine
can actually slow down the effects of aging while lending
the person a more younger looking and beautiful skin. The
most important aspect of beauty starts with beautiful skin.
Other aspects of make up can only enhance the look of a
person. Skin acts like a canvas on which various shades of
make up can be applied. But if the canvas isn't right
itself, there is little that make up can do to make the
person look beautiful.

Proper care of the skin helps to tighten, moisturize and
gradually uplift the dermis of the skin, thus giving it an
internal glow which cannot be achieved by any other beauty
product. Apart from this, there is a big booming industry
of cosmetics and make up products which can contribute a
great deal in transforming a plain Jane into the ultimate
glam diva. Some of the make up products which are used
around the world include the foundation, concealer,
bronzer, blush and lipsticks in an array of colors. Yet
another segment of make up which forms a crucial part of
any woman's beauty regimen is the eye make up. Eye make up
could be anything ranging from eyeliner, mascara to
multi-colored eye shadows. Eye make up can be used either
for subtle or for a completely dramatic effect, depending
upon the time of the day and the occasion.

Though make up can completely transform the look of a
person, care must be taken that only good quality cosmetics
are used on one's skin in order to ensure that these make
up products actually help the person to look good and don't
harm the skin in the long run. It is better to invest in
high quality products rather than trying to save money by
going for inferior products.
