Science Shows:
Massage Benefits Are More Than Skin Deep

According to a recent New York Times article, clinical research shows that massage caused biological changes in test subjects. Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles recruited 53 healthy adults, fitted them with intravenous catheters so blood samples could be taken immediately before the massage and up to an hour afterward.

To their surprise, the researchers, sponsored by the

National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine, a division of the National Institutes of Health, found that a single session of massage caused biological changes.

Volunteers who received Swedish massage experienced significant decreases in levels of the stress hormone cortisol in blood and saliva, and in arginine vasopressin, a hormone that can lead to increases in cortisol. They also had increases in the number of lymphocytes, white blood cells that are part of the immune system.
Volunteers who had a light massage experienced greater increases in oxytocin, a hormone associated with contentment, and bigger decreases in adrenal corticotropin hormone, which stimulates the adrenal glands to release cortisol. Bottom line, massage is a medically-proven stress buster!

Autumn Organizing

 
       The leaves and temperatures are falling, and before you know it the gift giving season will be upon us.  Before that happens why not take the opportunity to organize two areas in which autumn is the perfect time to work, your attic and garage.  The temperatures, now, are just right for tackling these two areas, and once you're finished you'll be ready for packages, gift bags, and bows.
       Your attic and garage are the typical storage areas in your home and are usually filled with a variety of items.  Therefore, when it's time to organize them, you are faced with making decisions about items that you don't want, but aren't sure how to get rid of, and on items that you think  you should save, just in case.  I'd like to offer some solutions.  
      First of all, getting rid of items safely can be time consuming and troublesome, but with a bit of effort you can make it happen.
