Five Steps For Relieving Stress I
f you often find yourself struggling with the effects stress has on your physical and emotional well-being, here are five steps for stress relief. 1) Admit to yourself that something is stressing you out, as this is the first step in letting go of it. By acknowledging that an extra activity is putting more added stress on an already hectic lifestyle, you can balance out the pressures and make decisions that are right for you.
2) If you’ve just had a huge argument with your boss, or your son’s school called to discuss his habit of jumping around in the classroom, then just laugh. When you’re stressed, even the smallest annoyance is one more added pressure that you didn’t want, so forget about it for a while. Grab a good friend or family member and watch a funny movie together, because more laughter means the more mood enhancing endorphins you’ll produce. 3) You should be getting 7 to 8-hours of sleep every night, because if you’re already exhausted when you go in to work, you’ll be less likely to be able to handle more stress. 4) Having small children and sleeping through the night might not be possible, so if you are at home, try napping when they do, as even half an hour will do wonders for your stress levels, and your patience. 12
issue-14-Relax.indd 12
5) Do something that makes you feel good; Get a massage, buy a new novel and read it when everyone else is asleep, do some exercise, dine out and have a few drinks with your best friend, watch a movie or whatever brings else brings you happiness. Oft haben wir mit den negativen Auswirkungen von Stress auf unser geistiges und körperliches Wohlbe�inden zu kämpfen. Aktuelle Studien belegen, dass viele Menschen mehr Stress haben als sie vertragen können. Hier sind fünf Tips zur Stressentlastung:

Too much alcohol is definitely dangerous, causing liver damage, fetal alcohol syndrome, and accidents. The tricky question is, how much is too much?
Street drugs like marijuana, cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin, or pain pills not prescribed for you are dangerous to your health. Street drugs can be diluted with substances that are harmful to you. People often put themselves in dangerous situations to get street drugs. If you are using street drugs and would like to stop but are having difficulty, talk to your health care provider.

Wearing a seatbelt dramatically reduces your chances of death in an accident.

Wear a helmet when riding a bicycle or motorcycle.
•
Find protection from people who are violent or threatening in your life.
•
Wash your hands regularly to avoid the spread of germs.
Step 6: Get regular health care. •
Many people think they only need to see a doctor when they are sick or injured. The truth is, health care providers are also experts at preventing illnesses and finding and treating problems before you ever feel sick.
•
Find a health care provider who works WITH you.

Laser Treatments For Beauty & Health
L
aser treatments are ideal for both men and women and operate by producing pulses of high-energy light that are then applied to the targeted area of skin or hair. In skin treatment the laser is used to eliminate the damaged skin and promotes the growth of new tighter and smoother skin in its place. For hair removal, lasers have proven to be one of the most effective ways of removing unwanted hair all over the body. Some of the most common areas that are treated for hair removal include the bikini area, face, arms, legs, chest, and the back. It is interesting to note that laser hair removal works best on individuals with dark hair. Laser treatment is regularly used to treat acne and the scarring it causes, so treatments for acne include skin resurfacing and photo rejuvenation, so laser acne treatment is ideal for those who have sun damage, scarring, and uneven skin tones. Wrinkle treatment such as excessive laugh lines, crow’s feet, and other lines on the skin of the face and neck are often issues that many women and even men seek to treat. Laser usage is effective in this area because it allows the skin to be treated without having to undergo invasive medical procedures. If you have wrinkles that are average or moderate in their appearance then laser wrinkle treatment can work wonders. Laser treatment is often conducted in medical clinics or even some upscale spas, and a local anaesthetic 16

and sedative will be provided to numb the area(s) that will be treated; - (this helps you remain relaxed throughout the procedure). Most laser treatments take place over the course of 2 - 6 weeks and are followed up by routine check-ups, however most patients are able to see results within 24 hours. Before laser treatment, meet with a doctor or laser treatment professional, who can help you determine if laser treatment is right for you, and what methods of treatment would be best. Remember to be realistic in your expectations, after all laser treatment is a treatment and cannot correct all imperfections.

Spa “Salus Per Aquae” N
o one know exactly where the word spa comes from, but there are two main theories. One is that Spa is an acronym for the Latin phrase, “Salus Per Aquae,” or “health through water.” Others believe the origin of the word “spa” comes from the Belgian town of Spa, where the hot mineral springs were discovered by the ancient Romans and used by their soldiers to treat the aching muscles and wounds from battle. As the Roman Empire grew, so did the number of public baths. By the year 300 A.D, there were over 900 baths throughout the empire. The oldest Roman spa still in existence today is located in Merano, Italy, giving evidence that the Romans used natural springs in an organized manner to provide treatments.
Modern spas have their roots in ancient towns famed for the healing powers of their mineral waters and hot springs. Travellers would come to “take the waters” and restore their health. In the 19th century, Europe’s great spas were destinations for the wealthy, and water treatments are still considered the heart of the spa experience in Europe. Traditionally, Europeans have viewed spas as a venue for the treatment of present illnesses and the prevention of future ail18
issue-14-Relax.indd 18
ments, and also placed special emphasis on the importance of spas in helping visitors relax by combating the stresses of everyday life. In America the oldest spring used by the Mohawks is known as the Saratoga Hot Springs, meaning “the place of the medicine waters of the great spirit” in the native dialect. And in18th Century it was one of the first commercial spas in the New World. Traditional American spas have maintained their focus on wellness, attracting individuals who are already healthy, but offering programs of nutrition, exercise, and beauty. Today massages and facials are by far the most popular spa treatments in America, but more recently, these spas have begun to adopt numerous new programs in areas such as meditation and spiritual communication. In Thailand the American and European spa techniques have successfully been blended together to give clients “the best of both worlds,” with unparalleled value for money. The “Nantra de Boutique,” Spa (038.414.696), is a good example, with branches in Bangkok, Phuket and Chiangmai; see www.pattayaopasis.com
Die Römer waren die erste Zivilisation die den Gebrauch von Spars perfektionierten. Auch die amerikanischen Indianer genossen gerne die therateutischen Effekte heißer Quellen. Thai Spars haben es geschafft, beide Therapien erfolgreich zu verbinden. Римляне были перввой цивилизацией, совершенствующейся с помощью курортов, и американские индейцы тоже получали удовольствие от горячей терапии. По европейским стандартам, американские курорты попрежнему находятся в зачаточном состоянии, а тайские курорты успешно сочетают в себе все.

Sivara Spa: Escape and ďŹ nd renewal Sheer indulgence
T
he name Sivara comes from the Sanskrit, meaning the calming and relaxing place for the Gods to live. Sivara Spa is located on the 4th floor of the new Ocean Tower, Amari Hotel, North Pattaya, and is one of six similar spas located in the Thai Amari hotels. The RELAX team recently visited and met the spa manager Khun Natnicha Wongfoofan and some of her friendly staff. Over a bael fruit drink, Khun Natnicha explained the various treatments available at 20
issue-14-Relax.indd 20
the Spa and also at the salon on the same premises offering hair care, waxing and nail treatments. The Spa has been open for nearly two years, and has a Lotus theme. There are nine treatment rooms including a suite with Jacuzzi and steam room, where a (honeymoon) couple can spend half a day being pampered without the need to move from room to room. The treatment menu includes scrubs, wraps, massages, facials and other body treatments. We en-
joyed the most popular treatment from the mix and match menu: pairing the signature Royal Lotus Scrub with an oil massage of choice. Each of the RELAX team selected a different style of massage from: mind relaxing, body balancing, stress release and Balinese. There was also a choice of oils; relaxing tea-tree, calming sandalwood, refreshing citrus and romantic lavender and ylang-ylang. Sensibly, we were each asked if we had any areas where we wanted extra

massage, or any sensitive areas that shouldn’t be massaged. Having made our choices we were taken to the treatment rooms by therapists Nid, Nam-Tan and Ben, who gave us each a very relaxing experience. To complete our visit, we were invited to join Khun Natnicha and Khun Dhaninrat (Sunday) at the Essence restaurant on the third floor of the Ocean Tower, overlooking
the pool and gardens, for a delicious lunch. A varied menu offers a wide choice of Thai and international dishes. Sivara Spa has special offers until 31 October: buy one get one free on all spa packages, and 40% discount on massages, so you have no excuse not to go along and try this luxurious spa for yourself or as present for your loved ones. Open every day from 10am to 10pm, call 038 418418 to make a booking.

Health Horoscope Aries
You won’t be in your best shape and you’ll get tired sooner than usual. If it’s about an activity that you take great interest in, you’ll pull yourself together, but it’ll be a short-term effort. Think of enjoying a Spa. Be careful about hygiene and rest!
Cancer
It is the time for you to feel cheerful, with clear thinking and handiness. You should especially avoid haste, imprudence and extremes. Take care and be moderate! Invite friends or visit friends. A skincare or facial treatment will enhance your cheerfulness.
Libra
The possible discomfort in the first week of September will be based on a minor psychical ailment rather than on a physical one. The tonus will improve gradually, and you will find yourself in perfect shape. However, if you’re suffering from something, don’t ignore it! A medical check-up is recommended.
Capricorn
Some extra caution is needed when handling dangerous objects ( sharp or hot objects). Sun exposure must be reduced and protection lotions with high protection factor need to be used. It is lent time and you should also cut down on alcohol, coffee, stimulants and spices. 22
issue-14-Relax.indd 22
Taurus
You’ll still be energetic. Make sure you eat a lot of fruit and veggies, relax to avoid inflammations, feverishness, infections, stress or small accidents (cuts, burns, stitches etc.). Take care of your respiratory apparatus!
Leo
During this time moderation is recommended. Avoid stressgenerating situations. Invite the ones you like and love to a nice dinner. And maintain a balanced lifestyle. You will enjoy it!
Scorpio
Physically, you shouldn’t be worried. At this time of the year your main problems will be emotional and psychological. You have to try to relax and look at things more objectively and in a detached manner. You could do with a few days off away from home and from the daily stress. A spa application could help you get your balance.
Aquarius
There is a medical interest, possible contacts with doctors, hospitals, pharmacies, etc. These contacts will help you to find solutions for your health. Remember your friends and spend time together shopping and dining, maybe at one of the quality restaurants illustrated in this publication.
Gemini
If you’re currently feeling a bit weak, don’t worry! You’ll recover soon: you’ll have strength, fast reactions, impulse. You’d better humor it by getting involved in a consistent physical activity, such as fitness at California WoW, because otherwise the unused energy can cause problems: acute ailments, infections, inflammations, injuries because of speed or imprudence.
Virgo
The contentment you’ll get from your work accomplishments will raise your morale and will give you some enthusiasm, but that doesn’t mean that you can leave your health at the end of your priorities. A meditation or a relaxing massage would be a good help. A dental check-up would also be recommended.
Sagittarius
You have to spare your health especially during the first past of August. No excesses and extremism! Stay away from intoxications, infections, contaminations and avoid consumption of alcohol, cigarettes or narcotics. Avoid aggressive situations. A medical check-up would be useful at these times.
Pisces
Your feelings will be good, you’ll have energy and vitality, especially at the being of August. It’ll be a good period for sport and other physical activities and fitness, try it at California WoW. A special warning for pregnant Pisces women: prudence is recommended and find time to relax your body and soul. www.mcs-int.com

Five Tips For Weight Management
T
here are so many weight loss tips that can help you achieve successful weight reduction including fitness and lifestyle, that it is impossible to fit them all in one article. In this article we have concentrated on food and issues related to eating. 1) Stay focused on being healthy rather than becoming thin. If you focus on losing weight to be healthy instead of thin you will often have an easier time with motivation. Think about selecting foods that make you healthy rather than choosing foods that have an effect on your body’s weight. Follow the food pyramid, which has a good basic outline on food types and amounts that you need in order to get the proper nutrients for maintaining your body’s health. 2) It is important that you find out why you overeat. There are many causes of overeating including stress, boredom, loneliness, anger, depression and other emotions. It is important that you learn to deal with your emotions in a way that doesn’t involve food. This will go a long way towards controlling your weight. If you address the emotional and behavioural issues of your weight loss plan then you will have a better success rate when it comes to long term weight management. 3) It can be helpful if you join a weight management group in order to have support. An important part of long term weight loss success is having encouragement and support from other individuals in a situation similar to yours. Check for local programs or resources in your 24
issue-14-Relax.indd 24
area. You may also want to see if the local hospital has a registered dietician who holds regular group weight loss programs. Or simply create your own group with your friends. 4) No weight loss program is successful without portion control. When eating remember to keep your portion size in mind, pay attention to your hunger and stop eating when you are comfortably full and not when you feel stuffed. 5) Eating slowly can actually help you take off pounds, because it takes about twenty minutes for the brain to signal the feeling of fullness. Depending on how quickly you eat, the amount of calories you consume can vary significantly. Take the time to eat slowly with small bites and enjoy the taste of your meal. This way you will eat less and have an easier and more successful time with your weight loss plan. Es gibt viele für den Tipps Gewichtsverlust, die Ihnen zum Erfolg

Dentistry For A Delightful Smile T
he whitening of discoloured teeth is very common in cosmetic dental care today, and although these are plenty of whitening options over pharmacy shelves, treatments supervised by dentists are the safest option. Contouring (tooth reshaping), is one of the many treatments now available in cosmetic dentistry, and this reshaping is normally done to rectify crooked, cracked, chipped, and overlapping teeth. This is done over one or more sessions, and the contouring procedure is sometimes carried ont as a substitute for braces. When performed by a professional dentist, a few microns of surface reduction or a fraction of a millimetre of tooth-coloured laminate can create a beautiful smile, with no pain or discomfort. Dental Bridges known as “Pontics” are false teeth, which are fused between two porcelain crowns to fill up the gap created by a missing tooth. Bridging is very commonly used in modern dentistry to replace one or more missing teeth. Ultra-thin, custom-made laminates, known as “Veneers,” are bonded 30
issue-14-Relax.indd 30
directly to your teeth, and used as an option for filling the gaps or camouflaging discoloured teeth that cannot be repaired by normal whitening procedures. “Gum Lift” is another popular cosmetic dental procedure that rectifies and sculptures the gum line, by reshaping the tissue and underlying

Communication With Horses
or the personal development and the realization of our character, it is important to understand how to communicate with horses. How can we get the right information from horses to work with them in a proper way? Native Americans understood communication with horses very well. They were the real horse whisperers. For most of the Indian tribes the horses were their teachers who showed them how to differentiate between poisonous plants and those that are edible. They gave them insights to the seasons and the necessity of movement and the wisdom of the nature around them. Over the centuries Indians made their decisions relying on the messages from horses, which could communicate with medicine men or the tribal leaders. The Indians were also very successful horse breeders. They bred a very special horse that optimally matched their environment. For a painted horse, which the Indians called “Palouse”, they received five times more money than for other breeds. Today they 32
issue-14-Relax.indd 32
called them Appaloosa. Also nowadays this Indian pony is preferred in riding schools. Originally they were bred for war. The horses needed excellent skills such as reliability, high speed, sophistication, security in the trail, courage, sensitivity, perseverance and a steady temperament. They had to have nerves of steel and to keep the rider continuously in balance. They had to be as fast as the wind but wait quietly for the next instruction. One mistake could cause death. All these extraordinary abilities, that make these horses so special, are also very useful to introduce inexperienced people to horses and to teach riding to beginners. The Indians created their own internship training by observing the horses within their own herds. The Indians treated their horses like horses and not like a dog or a human. Indians were very intuitive, made a picture from nature and added this to their own knowledge. That’s why they were so successful so quickly; they had far fewer problems with horses than many instructors do nowadays.

Swine Flu
Don’t Worry … Be careful ….
What can I do to protect myself from catching influenza A(H1N1)?
T
he main route of transmission of the new influenza A(H1N1) virus seems to be similar to seasonal influenza, via droplets that are expelled by speaking, sneezing or coughing. You can prevent getting infected by avoiding close contact with people who show influenza-like symptoms (try to maintain a distance of about 1 metre if possible) and taking the following measures: • avoid touching your mouth and nose; 34
issue-14-Relax.indd 34
• clean hands thoroughly with soap and water, or cleanse them with an alcohol-based hand gel on a regular basis (especially if touching the mouth and nose, or surfaces that are potentially contaminated); • avoid close contact with people who might be ill; • reduce the time spent in crowded settings if possible; • improve airflow in your living space by opening windows;
• practise good health habits including adequate sleep, eating nutritious food, and keeping physically active.
What about using a mask? What does WHO recommend? If you are not sick you do not have to wear a mask. If you are caring for a sick person, you can wear a mask when you are in close contact with the ill person www.mcs-int.com
29/7/2552 17:14:22
and dispose of it immediately after contact, and cleanse your hands thoroughly afterwards. If you are sick and must travel or be around others, cover your mouth and nose. Using a mask correctly in all situations is essential. Incorrect use actually increases the chance of spreading infection.
Is it safe to travel?
Yes. WHO is not recommending travel restrictions related to the outbreak of the influenza A(H1N1) virus. You are welcome to visit Thailand and welcome to Pattaya. For more information visit WHO website http:// www.who.int/csr/disease/swineflu/frequently_ asked_questions/what/en/index.html

The Real
History Of
Tiramisu Cake T
he famous Italian dessert named ‘Tiramisu’ means “pick-me-up” in Italian, because of its high energy content of eggs and sugar, plus the caffeine content from the addition of strong espresso coffee. There are many different stories about the origin of Tiramisu, which is a layered cake that was only invented in the 1970’s. The first clue comes from the famous Italian gastronome Giuseppe Maffioli, in his book “Il Ghiottone Veneto”, (The Venetian Glutton, 1968). He extensively describes Zabaglione custard as the name of a creamy dessert prepared with sweet Cyprus wine, and originating from Zabaja on the Adriatic Sea; this was popular in the Illyria region. 40
issue-14-Relax.indd 40
The true origin of ‘Tiramisu’ is detailed in the book by Fernando de Tina Raris “La Marca Gastronomica” (1998), and is entirely dedicated to the cuisine from the Italian town of Treviso. The author quotes what Giuseppe Maffioli wrote in an article in 1981, - “Tiramisu was born recently, (10-years previously) in the town of Treviso. It was offered for the first time in the restaurant “Le Beccherie” and the dessert immediately became extremely popular. This new ‘Tiramisu’ cake was unbelievably good, so it was copied by many restaurants, first in Treviso then around Italy, and now in virtually every country in the world.

I’ll Meet You At
A
Cafe, Bar & Restaurant
ustralians do it differently, and this certainly applies to Pattaya’s new arrivals in the food and beverage industry, who started their successful chain of value for money restaurants back in 1989. Their Australian General Manager, Michael Chick, has been no less successful and after 10years with the worldwide MacDonald’s company group, he was the Coffee Club’s Australian National Sales Manager for five years. The new “Coffee Club’s” Café, Bar & Restaurant has opened in a prime position inside the Second Road entrance of South Pattaya’s “Royal Garden Plaza,” delivering casual western dining at sensible prices, and there are even a variety of Thai dishes for just 89-baht each. However, the flagship of the “Coffee Club,” is their Italian “Exresso” coffees, that they proudly claim as been superior to all others, and their staff undergo intensive “Barista” training programs. With precise measurement of all ingredients, heating is done to an exact temperature, which is further maintained by heating the coffee cups, so you can enjoy the taste of Pattaya’s best coffee, some top quality food at reasonable prices, plus a very spacious and relaxing environment. There are no hidden service charges or taxes, their Turkish bread is a specialty, and alcoholic drinks are also available. Separate breakfast, lunch and dinner menus are available all day from 8am until 11pm, so here is real service. General Manager, Michael Chick, states that the “Coffee Club” staff 48
issue-14-Relax.indd 48
are carefully trained to welcome all guests into their relaxed environment and treat them as friends and family. It was inspirational to hear an elderly English gentleman come up to the manager and say that after three days of dining at the “Coffee Club” he thought that the high quality and reasonable prices were the best that he had experienced. With such a powerful unsolicited recommendation, it seems certain that plans for worldwide expansion into new locations, such as China, India and the Middle East will be highly successful. The Australian management teams are very quick to make improvements and seize opportunities, which comes from their heritage of being a new nation with no fixed dogmas from past centuries, so they continually strive to be the best in all that they do.

Healthy & Nutritious Snack Foods
W
e grab a little snack inbetween meals, and there’s nothing wrong with that, because snacks are actually good for you, if you stick with healthy nutritious foods. Transform your fridge and pantry into a haven of healthy snacks that will keep you from grabbing chips or cookies when you get hungry in-between meals. Give away the cookies, chips and the cheesecake; get rid of those fried chicken nuggets and pizza pieces, so there isn’t the temptation of high-fat and high-sugar snacks. Now it’s time to talk about what foods you should stock up on. The most important are fresh fruit and veggies, plus whole grain foods, such as bread, tortillas and crackers, but corn chips, rice cakes, popcorn and low sugar cereal may also be included. Fresh peanut butter, nuts and almonds are vital snack foods, while cottage cheese, yogurt, hummus, plus both soy and skim milk are also good. Here are some easy fruit and veggie snacks that you can prepare and store, for everyone to munch on. Make it easy for everyone by cutting up some of the fruit and veg52
issue-14-Relax.indd 52
