Excerpt from an interview with Rita Canada, expert for natural health/weight management for executives and entrepreneurs, on the Create a Wow Podcast.

There are some very simple things we can do to implement positive life style changes. It is important to not allow outside circumstances control us, as maintaining a positive attitude is essential for overall well being! I know from experience, that good health is a choice. We have to make a disciplined effort to put those choices into action, and to take ownership of our health.

Some of the Basics

* Drink a lot of good pure water. This supports metabolism and proper ph balance. I recommend about half your body weight in ounces of water a day- getting plenty of sleep and rest.

* Eat properly. Eating properly means eating living foods, good healthy foods, and several small snacks a day. I used to be pretty bad at this, as I would get so busy throughout they day and would kind of rush through breakfast, and then eat a really big dinner. It's horrible for your system! If you eat several times through out the day it speeds up your metabolism and it increases your energy.

* Exercise. Exercise is important, even if you can do it three times a week -- even something as simple as walking. But pick whatever you enjoying doing most and just do it! It helps increase your life span, helps you to feel better, and helps you to think clearer.

Detoxify the Body

The detox part is key. It's a natural function addressed by many of our body systems, but sometimes our body gets on toxic overload and needs to be cleansed and replenished. Detoxification also supports the immune system. I recommend getting on a thorough monthly or quarterly detox program with maintenance.

Personally I do some sauna therapy. I have my own sauna now that makes it easier. IonCleanse foot baths and body wraps are also great. Consider supplementing with a good whole food based vitamins -- as you probably are not getting the nutrition you need from the food you eat alone. Also, get plenty of fresh air, as often times we get so plugged into our work that we don't get outside and enjoy the fresh air and sunshine God gave us.

Body Wraps

I love the wraps! I've been on my own health quest doing ion foot baths, sauna therapy and body wraps. There are various types of body wraps to consider, depending on your focus. Essentially, a body wrap is a detoxifying inch loss process that allows you to tone and tighten your body--to become healthier and leaner -- and in turn feel more confident about yourself.

In general, body wraps are intended to improve the appearance and elasticity of your skin, by helping to lessen the body of excess fluids and toxins. These are usually available in spas, for the reduction of cellulite and release of stress. Most types of body wraps aid in healing, moisturizing, and conditioning of the skin.

One kind of body wrap primarily promotes inch loss through water loss for a special event. It's similar to the results that you would receive through excessive sweating. It's a temporary result.

Another kind of wrap such as The Ultimate Applicator, creates inch loss by aiding the lymphatic system in removing stored toxins, basically that has entered into your system through poor diet, pollution, and environment. These types of wraps stimulate the lymphatic drainage, which releases toxins and fatty acids from your cells, and then they are eliminated out of your body. It is an organic process. The results are permanent and very effective.

I have done the body wraps at spas, and found one of them to be especially good. However, they can be time consuming and somewhat costly unless you find a good package deal. You have to be careful also to make sure they are not primarily the water loss kind, if that's not what you want.

I personally use The Ultimate Applicator at home wraps. There are many benefits to the wraps as they break down the fat cells and eliminate the toxin from your cells, and excrete them naturally. I always feel renewed, toned and invigorated afterward! It's a huge stress reliever as well as you are taking time for yourself which we all need to do from time to time for overall optimum health.
