Lucky Vitamin is happy to present Spoonk Space products to our customers. Spoonk Space offers a variety of unique acupressure massage mats to help create more energy and inspiration to your life.

The Spoonk Mat is based on the principles of the Indian bed of nails and Japanese shiatsu massage. The mats may stimulate specific reflex points throughout the body to release blocked energy, ease tense muscles, and create deep mental and physical relaxation.

The Spoonk travel size mat is perfect to take wherever you go, whether you have tired feet at work or need a quick energy boost. You may use the mat on neck or lower back for pain relief acupressure on the go.

The mats have 6,210 small spikes with an original design of crown-shaped discs for optimal effect. The spikes work as stimulation points to provide equal pressure on the body. You simply lay on it, ensuring that your “trouble areas” are covered by the mat’s spikes, and the mat does the rest. The mat’s spikes stimulate blood circulation, relax tense muscles and induce “feel good” hormones (endorphins and oxytocin) that release feelings of well-being and calm. The benefits include increasing levels of energy, reducing inflammation and pain, and improving sleep, metabolism and blood flow.

You can get free shipping on all Spoonk Space items on luckyvitamin.com. Enter the promo code SPOONKFREE at checkout for free standard shipping or savings equivalent to $5.95 off (cost of standard shipping). A $59.99 minimum purchase of Spoonk products is required.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Although most people know the importance of the first meal, many people tend to skip breakfast on a daily basis.

“I don’t have time for breakfast” and “I prefer to sleep another 15 minutes” are the most common excuses people use as the reason to skip such an important meal. However, simple adjustments in your lifestyle can easily change this bad habit for good.

If lack of time to prepare breakfast is an issue for you, try breakfast bars, low fat yogurt or fruits such as bananas or apples. Breakfast bars are a good source of fiber and you can find delicious and healthy ingredients such as raisins, granola, almonds, blueberries, raspberries and currants. Even a little chocolate won’t hurt. Breakfast bars are perfect “on the go” and can help you having a healthy and nutritious start of your day.

Making breakfast a daily habit helps you battle weight gain by reducing hunger later in the day. You can start your morning off with a low calorie breakfast, particularly if you are not going to exercise in the first hours of the day. If you do workout in the morning, make sure to get enough vitamin B for a boost of energy.

You can find plenty of breakfast choices with less than 300 calories but remember to always eat small meals during the day. Skipping or not eating enough for breakfast generally result in overeating at lunch. Instead of overcompensating, plan ahead and have snacks (healthy ones of course) in between meals to prevent overeating.

In fact, people trying to lose weight should never skip breakfast. Studies have shown that everything you eat in the morning hours are likely to be fully digested and burned off throughout the day. The old saying “eat breakfast even if you’re not hungry” is still true.

Don’t let cold and flu get you down this winter. Stay healthy naturally.

The 2010-2011 Seasonal Influenza, or commonly known as “flu season”, is ongoing but you don’t have to load up with antiviral drugs to prevent and treat the common cold and flu.

You can battle cold and flu naturally and Lucky Vitamin offers several top quality products to help keep you healthy this winter.

Strengthen your immune system and minimize symptoms using natural supplements, which can help keep you healthy and feeling good. Natural products can safely promote quick relief if you are often fighting the common cold.

Look for products containing ingredients such as Echinacea, elderberry, olive leaf and oil of oregano.

Additionally, vitamin C and zinc have been known to enhance the immune system for years but the addition of herbal supplements, particularly Echinacea, create even more efficient formulas to maximize results.

Some people are prone to colds and often feel tired, likely because their system must have accumulated a lot of toxins. The human body has its own way of fighting the flu but when the system is polluted by a lot of toxins and chemicals, its response is compromised. An immune boosting cleanse is one of the best ways to enhance your immunity and regain your health.

Lastly, homeopathy is a non-toxic system of medicine used to treat illness and relieve discomfort of a wide variety of health conditions, including cold and flu. Homeopathic products do not contain questionable ingredients and these wonderful natural medicines do not interact with other medicines, have no side effects, no risk of overdose, and can be given to children.

With only a few days left in 2010, it’s time to start planning your 2011 New Year’s Resolution.

What is it going to be this year? Do you have any ideas? Any plans in mind for the upcoming year? Any goals you would like to achieve in 2011?

Many resolutions are related to your lifestyle. Losing weight and eating healthier are common challenges. Some other people want to exercise regularly or quit smoking. Drink more water and stop drinking soda, drink less alcoholic beverages and go earlier to bed are also popular choices for New Year’s resolutions.

Some of the most interesting resolutions can be simple tasks that we normally don’t think about. For example, you can learn something new. A new language, a new card game, a new function on your cell phone, a new sport or a new hobby are all good options to make your resolution more fun.

Some people are not familiar with computers, how about teaching your parents of grandparents how to use the Internet? Create an email account, and teach the basic steps on how to check, respond and send new emails to friends and family.

Additionally, resolutions are all about changing your life. Millions of people use web search tools, such as Google, everyday but we don’t realize some people still don’t know how to use it. That’s a great resolution idea. Teach someone how to search the web and change the way they learn and see new things, just like your life has changed since you stated to search the web.

Male breast cancer is a rare condition, accounting for only about 1% of all breast cancers. Information about male breast cancer is also rare with few reliable sources available to inform and educate man about this serious disease.

As we hope male breast cancer occurrence remains rare, we certainly believe raising awareness and supporting men battling breast cancer does not need to stay under the “rare status”.

The American Cancer Society estimates an average of nearly 2,000 new cases of breast cancer in men a year, causing approximately 500 deaths in men. In comparison, over 40,000 women die of breast cancer each year. A man’s lifetime risk of developing breast cancer is about one in 1,000.

Nevertheless, risk factors for male breast cancer are similar to female breast cancer such as exposure to radiation, Hyperestrogenism (high estrogen levels), family history of breast cancer, or diseases such as cirrhosis or Klinefelter’s syndrome.

Symptoms of male breast cancer include lumps, changes to the nipple or breast skin, or discharge of fluid from the nipple. Just like breast cancer in women, cancer of the male breast is the uncontrolled growth of the cells of this breast tissue and prevention is always the best treatment.

Diagnosis of breast cancer requires identifying cancer cells in tissue specimens obtained by biopsy. Since men have little breast tissue, cancers in male breasts are easily located by feel and, therefore, are easily accessible to biopsy. A male self breast exam is simple and can be performed in just a few minutes.

Once the initial diagnosis of breast cancer has been made, treatment for male breast cancer is usually a mastectomy, a type of surgery to remove the breast. Other treatments include radiation, chemotherapy and hormone therapy.

You can reduce your risk of cancer by following the simple steps: eat healthy, exercise daily and avoid smoking. Natural supplements for cancer prevention can also be useful. A healthy lifestyle is one of the best ways to help our bodies fight off cancer. For more information visit www.hisbreastcancer.org, a site and organization that helps to raise awareness about male breast cancer.
