It’s the little things we do that encourage people with their big problems.

On this Thirsty Tuesday we all should be thirsty for the Word of  God that is where we get our strength from and as we line our bodies up mind, body and soul. We are still talking about Debates and being good to yourself by treating yourself to Spa’s all over the world.

Tips on how to live with diabetes

If you have diabetes, you know that caring for your health is very important. It may be overwhelming at first to learn to control your diabetes, but adding this to your schedule can have big rewards. A few of the keys to controlling your blood sugar levels are taking your medicine at the same time every day, checking your feet, and exercising regularly, but there are other facets to maintaining your health too. Here are a few tips to help you with living with diabetes.

1. Checking your blood glucose levels regularly is the most important thing that you can do to preserve your health. Keeping tabs on your sugar level will help you to prevent complications from your diabetes. Your blood glucose levels should be below 120 mg/dl before meals and 180 mg/dl after meals for proper control.

2. If your doctor has prescribed medications, you need to take them as they have directed. Take them at the same time each day and try to take them close to your regular meal times.

The health and wellness craze is nothing new in Europe where beauty and wellness business has boomed for thousands of years. The options are definitely more old world than new age and utilize some of the most atmospheric locations including the old bath houses of England and Spain, salt springs in Germany or the thermal waters of Romania. Most emphasize thermal springs, relaxation, socialization and light exercise.

1.      Alpine Spa, Sweden

Spa treatments are popular amongst Swedes from Gotland to Göteborg and Stockholm. But the ultimate is that offered in the far north under the midnight sun. Go to Riksgransen at 186 miles above the Arctic Circle for treatments borrowed from the indigenous inhabitants. Try a “Lappish Zen” treatment that consists of cleansing, a spa soak and deep relaxation, followed by a hot stone massage in a Lapp tent.
