Reduce Holiday Stress With This Easy Acupressure Technique

The most wonderful time of the year, can also be the most stressful and hectic time of the year. So…What do you do when holiday shopping, traveling, cooking and entertaining, start to get the best of you? Why not try this very simple acupressure technique?

It’s called the Foot Three Mile point (or St 36), and when stimulated it can strengthen your body’s immune system, reduce stress, lower blood pressure, and give you more energy.  The best part is, it’s easy enough to do yourself.

Here is all you have to do…

Just use your fingers to apply pressure to the acupressure point.  The point is located four finger widths below the lower border of the kneecap and one finger width off the shin bone to the outside.  If you flex your foot up and down; you will feel the muscle move under your fingers if you are on St 36.

Apply moderate to firm pressure on the St 36 point.  Hold the pressure for one minute.  Then do the same on the other leg.  This point can also be stimulated either with the heel of your opposite foot, or with your fingers.

If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed with all the holiday hoopla, give it a try.

Do You Know The Health Benefits of Sex? Would You Rather Be Blogging?

The health benefits of sex?

There are a lot of things that we can do to help maintain good health, but many of those things aren’t very much fun.

What could be more fun than sex? Well, apparently a lot of women would say that blogging is (you might even be one of them), but blogging doesn’t really have the same kind of health benefits that are associated with good sex.

A happy, healthy sex life can benefit you in many ways…

Help you maintain a healthy weight by burning calories.

Relieve stress.

Boost your immunity.

Improve your cardiovascular health.

Reduce pain.

Help promote a good night sleep.

So, if you can pull yourself away from blogging every now and then, for a little walk on the wild side, you’ll be doing your body good. Are you willing to make the sacrifice?
