The Benefits of Spa Treatments
By Dalila Moreno

When people think of spas, most people think of spas as an indulgence when in fact it is more about a healthy lifestyle and paying homage to the body that you’ve been blessed with.
Most spa treatments involve being touched, a key element in helping us relax and feel better. In one study of more that 3,300 Japanese government workers, frequency of spa use was linked to better physical and mental health, including better quality sleep and fewer sick days.

Hello all,

Destiny's Child coined the term bootylicious back in 2001. Since then, it has worked its way into the dictionary and even the conversations of elderly men and women! But "saying" and "being" the term are two totally different things. Many of us mouthed the words and swayed our hips to the hit song, but didn't take the steps needed to firm up the backside.

By now, you probably heard that breakfast is the most important meal of the day. But despite that knowledge, we'll all getting of rushing out the door without something in our stomachs. Some people load up at lunch or even worse dinner, thinking if they eat fewer times a day, they'll lose weight. Not necessarily true! Just think of those health nuts in your office. You always spot them snacking several times a day. Munching in meetings, snacking while typing, and even popping peanuts and pretzels in their car. How do they eat so much food without putting on the extra weight?

Hi, my name is Heather, and I'm an eat out aholic. In a five day work week, I eat out at least four times. Our offices are located in the George Town Harbour so there are several selections a hop, skip, and a jump away. Although I eat out, I don't make unhealthy choices the majority of the time. I order salads, wraps, smoothies, etc. Nonetheless, I probably took in hidden calories from what I deem as healthy foods (i.e. sandwich dressings, cream based soups, sugar added to fruit drinks, etc.)

Like many professionals in Cayman, I have mastered the art of afternoon lunch outings. The island offers everything from Caribbean and Chinese to Indian and Italian. Your taste buds take a trip around the world in only a week. Not only will you fill your stomach, you’ll fill your social calendar. Scheduling lunch dates allow people to keep up with old colleagues and close friends. Plus, I sometimes conduct working lunch meetings. So how do you eat out and stay in shape? Sometimes, there aren’t a wide range of options.
