To increase metabolism, always eat breakfast in the morning. Don't skip breakfast. If you wait until mid morning or afternoon to eat, your metabolism will run slower. Think of breakfast as adding logs to the fireplace. Your metabolism is the fireplace and logs are the breakfast.
Increase metabolism by eating smaller meals through the day. Eat 4 to 6 six small meals, 2 to 3 hours apart.
Don't depend on herbal products to increase metabolism or energy level. Any metabolic increase will be minimum and herbs are not cheap. Instead, include more energy foods such as whole grains, beans, vegetables and fruits.
Park further away and walk. Use the stairs instead of the elevator when possible. Walk to the post office instead of getting into the car. Take your dog on a daily walk. Do more activities around the house to burn energy instead of wasting money on pills and potions that don't work.
Incorporate a walking routine to increase metabolism at least three to four times a week. Walk 30 to 40 minutes each time. This is the best way to increase your metabolism. Don't starve yourself when trying to lose weight. This will slow down your metabolism in a hurry.
Avoid 5 to 6 hour gaps between meals without eating.Be committed to eating smaller meals at regular intervals. Prepare food in advance and bring it with you. Never eat sporadically and plan each meal. The common mistake is to skip meals and eat too little during the day. This makes you vulnerable for eating junk food later in the day. Eating to lose weight takes planning.

Why is there a need for FiR products?
Due to changes in our present society, most of us have very little time to exercise under the sun. Owing to this, we hardly have the opportunity to receive even 20% FiR from natural sunlight. We go to work mainly before, or just at sunrise, and return at or after sunset. Many works inside a building and thus, most of the FiR has been absorbed by the building. As the result, we tend to experience maladies that are mainly due to poor blood circulation.
When the normally smooth, firm linings of the arteries become thickened and roughened by deposits of fat, fibrin, calcium and cellular debris, it will lessen the arteries ability to expand and contract and slows the blood movement through narrowed channels. These conditions make it easier for blood clots to form, blocking the arteries and stopping blood flow completely.
as we know, the sun also produces other rays. Therefore, if we are exposed to the sun, we are also getting others harmful rays like Cosmic rays, X-rays, Ultra Violet rays, Microwave rays, Gamma rays, Radio waves, and others. Some rays, such as Ultra Violet, may cause skin cancer and other diseases. Because of these, we need something to substitute or create something to produce FiR. Finally, after many years in research, it was discovered that the combination of more than 26 kinds of ceramic and mineral oxides (called Bio-ceramic) from the earth were able to emit a pure source of FiR.
What is the effect of FiR on the human body?
- Activates water molecules in the body,
- Improves the oxygen level,
- Warms and eliminates fats, chemicals, and toxins from the blood and thus smoothens the flow of blood,
- Eliminates all other waste from the body,
- Reduces the acidic level in the body,
- Improves the nervous system,
OTHER VALUES:
- Improves the perspiration system,
- Prevention of bacteria growth,
- Improves strength and health,
- Speeds up repair of body cells,
- Balances the acid level in our body,
- Normalization of blood cholesterol,
- Prevents mould,
- Maintains warmth and promotes better sleep,
- Enhances and maintain freshness.

EFFECTS OF KNEIPP HYDROTHERAPY
The effects of Kneipp hydrotherapeutic treatments are vast, and have been documented through decades of scientific research at the Sebastian-Kneipp-Schule. Some of the effects include:
Local Reaction - Similar to reactions caused by cold compresses used for acute trauma or inflammation, or hot packs/hay sacks used for local muscular hypertension.
Segmental Response - Internal organs can be influenced by an automatic reflex from the skin, called the "cuti-visceral reflex."
Consensual Response - Parts of the body not treated directly can react in the same way as the part being treated. Automatic Response.
General Condition - Influence on the automatic nervous system; improves general state of well-being.
Immune System Response - Alternating treatments and strengthening exercises "toughen up" and train the body's immune system.
Psychological Response - Temperature and aroma stimuli have a direct influence on the central nervous system and can change the mental state.
Benefits of Kneipp hydrotherapy include: relaxation and general sense of well-being; muscle relaxation; increased excretion through the skin; stimulation of metabolism; stabilization of body warmth; regulation of blood pressure; activation of the immune system; and ameliorated circulation of the skin.
Education and Home Treatment
Lifestyle and health education are the most important part of Kneipp's doctrine. He believed in self-responsibility as a cornerstone of health. Many Kneipp hydrotherapy treatments can and should be repeated at home. Kneipp hydrotherapy treatments use ordinary water, which is transformed into "healing" water through the appropriate knowledge.

ORIGINAL ARTICLE FROM GRAND SUN GENERATIONS BULETIN No.06:08/04
(Q & A): Applying Hydrotherapy In The Health Care of The Cardiovascular System
(THIS WAS ANSWERED BY SING -HAN CHEN VP OF MIN-SHENG HOSPITAL)
Q: How will hydrostatic pressure be as we take a bath by using Home SPA machine?
A: (1) As we dive in to water, hydrostatic pressure will be higher as we go deeper
(2) When we are under water surface 12cm (5 inches), the pressure will be the same as the one of the central vein
(3) Deep diving has the effect of compression, especially on veins which will make blood flow from peripheries especially lower limbs to abdomen and thorax
(4) This preload th heart may cause danger to patients with severe heart disease
(5) Therefore, this kind of patients can only use half bath or 3/4 bath.
Q: What reactions will our bodies have as we take a bath by Home SPA machine?
A: (1) Body and blood temperature will increase
(2) skin temperature will increase and improve the blood and oxygen insufficiency in tissues
(3) Vessels will dilate, heart beat and heart input will increase
(4) Increase the oxygen demand of the heart
(5) Decrease muscle tension and joint pain
(6) Stimulate the metabolism in tissues
Q: What are suggested indications for taking bubble bath?
A: (1) Rheumatism
(2) Back pain
(3) Sciatic pain
(4) CFS
(5) Sore muscles
(6) Insomnia
(7) Loss of appetite
(8) Hypertension
(9) Low blood pressure
(10) Condition after a virus infection
(11) Bronchitis
(12) Asthma
(13) Circulatory disorder
(14) Angina pectoris
(15) Migraine
Q: Is there any side effect as we use bubble bath?
A: Many clinic experiments showed that patients with any disease can use our bubble bath which is different from medication that has more or less side effect. After various kinds of patients use our bubble bath, their conditions did not get worse and they did not discover any side effect.
Therefore, we can use it under normal condition. But, be careful that the water temperature cannot over 40C, and the duration cannot last long; we have to use it in appropriate physical and psychological conditions.

HEALING WATERS
TEMPERATURES USED IN HYDROTHERAPY
Since Hydrotherapy is essentially thermotherapy, it is important to apply the treatments with the appropriate temperature.
Hydrotherapy treatments are given with cold, cool, warm & hot temperatures. The greater the temperatures difference between the area being treated and the water temperature, the greater the stimulus. With cold there should be a minimum of 10C difference to the skin temperature to produce a good reaction.
If alternate/contrast treatments are given, always change from warm water to cold. Brisk changes from hot to cold can create negative reactions. Treatments using increasing temperature should begin with indifferent and slowly rise to hot.
TEMPERATURE SCALE:
Cold < 18 C
Cool 19 C - 22 C
Tepid 23 C - 31 C (This range is not used therapeutically)
Indifferent 32 C - 35 C (Skin temperature of the torso)
Warm 36 C - 38 C
Hot 39 C - 42 C
Very hot 43 C - 46 C

What a Typical Hydrotherapy Treatment is Like
Hydrotherapy treatments are often given at health spas or recommended as home self-care treatments.
These are some types of hydrotherapy:
Sitz bath - There are 2 adjacent tubs of water, one hot and one cold. You sit in one tub with your feet in the other tub, and then alternate. Sitz baths are recommended for hemorrhoids, PMS and menstrual problems, cystitis, polyps.
Warm water baths - Soak in warm water for up to 30 minutes, depending on the condition. Epsom salts, mineral mud, aromatherapy oils, ginger, moor mud, and dead sea salts may be added.
Sauna - Dry heat
Steam bath or Turkish bath
Compresses - Towels are soaked in hot and/or cold water.
Wraps - Cold wet flannel sheets are used to cover the a person lying down. The person is then covered with dry towels and then blankets. The body warms up in response and dries to wet sheets. This is used for colds, bronchitis, skin disorders, infection, and muscle pain.
Wet sock treatment - Used for sore throat, ear infections, headaches, migraines, nasal congestion, upper respiratory infections, coughs, bronchitis, and sinus infections.
Hot fomentation - For treatment of acute conditions such as chest colds and coughs. It seems to relieve symptoms but also decrease the length of the illness.
