by Bojan & Dzung Dear Friends, Just finished a 3 day conference at the Evason Resort in Phuket combining business with pleasure.

enhancing, Organic and Wholesome living, dedicating resources to proper waste management and waterE-NEWS treatment plants, as well as encouraging people to WEEKLY escape their frenetic, fast paced and stressful lives. Thailand combines many aspects of healthy life, like healthy fresh food, friendly and positive people, and a wonderful relaxed environment.

It feels really good to be being surrounded by these people and we realized immediately why most Thai people (in Chiang Mai) here do not succumb to the same diseases that afflict westerners. They are simple, family orientated people, who embrace a much slower paced life and happily live within their means. In addition, they are free from many of the restrictions and constraints place on people living in western society with their litigous mindset. In Chiang Mai for example, there is so little crime that the police officers have little to do, and apparently spend a lot of time partying. people Most people don’t realize that most diseases arises as a result of stress and tension. The key to health is relaxation and avoiding stress, and we all should learn to live the “Thai Way�.

At the moment we are in Chiang Mai visiting the Russian Knowledge teachers Max and Carola. They are the founders of the non-profit organization, the Thailand project, where they have set up seminars teaching the Russia Knowledge (how you become the creator of miracles) that give back funds and resources to the Thai community in building infrastructure and creating employment so that many Thai families can improve their wellbeing and quality of life. That is creating and seeing real wealth in action and real abundance where it impacts many lives positively. The secret to true happiness is to give back and see the wealth created in happy faces and healthy bodies and mind.

Great WEEKLY Tips for y ou t o

E-NEWS Enjoy a Fun and Safe Summer

by Ron Bass

Most people would agree that summer is indeed the best time of the year! It is a time of having fun, swimming at the beach, lazing and enjoying the long, hot days relaxing with friends and family. However if you are not careful, it would also be a time of sun-damaged skin, heat exhaustion and dehydration.

One of the most common misfortunes that can happen to anyone during summer time is dehydration. Because of the excessive heat, and exercising will cause an excessive loss of fluids in the body. Sweating profusely is the body’s way of cooling down. Brisk walking alone can generate up to 16 ounce of sweat depending on the weather condition.

So how would you know that your body is dehydrated? Obviously, the first and most common reaction of the body is to send out a signal of thirst. Next, you will notice infrequent urination. The urine in itself becomes more concentrated and yellowish. Once the level of dehydration in the body increases, you will experience dry mouth and throat, maybe agitation, light-headedness, weakness, headache, fainting, nausea and vomiting.

As dehydration worsens there may be signs of confusion, deliriousness, heart palpitations, or of seizures, where urgent emergency medical assistance is needed.

This person should also be moved to a cooler place, and cool the body with cold compress, ice and electric fan.

Complications of other conditions can also happen due to fluid loss or dehydration in the body. This may include electrolyte imbalance, heat exhaustion, kidney failure and

How to Avoid Heat Stroke Effectively?

Heat stroke or sunstroke happens when there is an overheating of the body which causes the body temperature to rise dramatically. If not properly and promptly treated, this medical emergency can be fatal. Severe hyperthermia happens when the body temperature reaches 104 F (40C) or higher.

The most common symptoms of heat stroke is a high level of body temperature, the absence of sweating, flushed dry skin, rapid pulse, difficulty in breathing, hallucinations, confusions, disorientations, seizure or coma.

Start the morning with lots of fluids.

Eat light and small frequent meals all throughout the day. Your food diet should include leafy lettuce and summer greens, corn and cucumber.

These are great food that contains significant amounts of water.

Include in your diet summer fruits like watermelon, melon and citrus fruits.

You can either eat them or extract their juice and store it in the fridge to sip through the day.

Wear lightweight, comfortable and loose cotton clothing that protects the body from the sun. Do you know that the light-colour clothing can reflect the sunlight away from you?

Enjoy outdoor activities during the cooler time of the day. Early morning until 10am or after 5pm is the best time to have fun.

Let your body adjust and tolerate the hot weather condition first by pacing yourself when working or exercising outdoors.

Stay under the shade and enjoy a cool breeze or take cool showers to bring down your body temperature.

Summer time is the season where sunburn can happen easily if you are not careful. If you do get sunburned, mix one part of tea tree oil to 10 parts of coconut oil and apply this generously to the affected areas. This concoction is very effective in soothing and relieving pain. It can reduce peeling and blistering too.

Remember to wear light coloured, loose comfortable clothing. Stay in the shade during the hottest time of the day. If you are outdoors, avoid over exposure to the sun. Â

If you are concerned about your hydration levels, then come and ask us for a simple 15 minute VLA test. This can also determine the major factors to assist with your optimal hydration.

Enjoy this summer by staying cool and well-hydrated.
