Wellness Wednesday...facts!

Physical Health and Movement

Move More, Sit Less: Adults should aim for at least 2.5 hours of moderate-intensity aerobic activity per week to reduce risks of chronic diseases like type 2 diabetes and heart disease.
Strength & Flexibility: Incorporating strength training 3 days a week builds muscle and improves metabolism, while flexibility exercises (like yoga) reduce injury.
Heart Power: The human heart pumps about 2,000 gallons of blood daily.
Strongest Muscle: The jaw muscle (masseter) is the strongest muscle in the body based on its weight, capable of closing with a force of up to 200 pounds.

Nutrition and Hydration

Mindful Eating: It takes roughly 20 minutes for the brain to realize the stomach is full.
Hydration Habits: You may lose 3% of your body weight in water before feeling thirsty.
Nutrient Timing: Eating slowly improves digestion and helps manage food intake.

Sleep and Stress Management

Sleep Needs: Adults require 7 or more hours of quality sleep per night for immune system repair and cognitive function.
Stress Impact: Chronic stress increases the risk of type 2 diabetes and reduces overall wellness.
Mental Connection: Regular exercise is a significant mood booster and reduces symptoms of anxiety and depression.

Long-Term Wellness

Preventative Care: Regular checkups are crucial to managing health and detecting early warning signs.
Metabolism Shifts: Metabolism slows with age, requiring consistent exercise to maintain muscle mass and prevent rapid weight gain.

Wellness Wednesday is back again.

Did you know:

The brainstem constitutes only about 2.6% of the total brain's weight.

Includes the medulla, pons, and midbrain, which show peak development in your 30's.

Regulates critical functions like heart rate and breathing.

Protect the Spine: Use seatbelts, wear helmets, and ensure proper safety equipment during sports to prevent trauma.

Avoid sitting for long periods; use an alarm to stand and move at least every hour. Keep computer monitors at eye level to maintain a neutral neck position.

Engage in exercises that strengthen the core to support the spine! #1 cause of low back pain is a weak core.

While on Spring Break vacation with my kiddos, we went to Perot Museum and they had a floor of human science. I was in my element! This exhibit was absolutely amazing! This was a human brainstem and spinal cord and it was absolutely beautiful to witness all the conversations I got to have with kiddos around when I was explaining functions to my kids.

Wellness Wednesday!

What steroid hormone produced by the adrenal glands that acts as the body's primary stress hormone, regulating metabolism, blood pressure, immune function, and blood sugar called?

Cortisol!

Chronic high levels of this lovely hormone can produce sleep restlessness and cause weight gain and blood pressure issues. So it is SUPER important to manage our levels.

We can help our bodies lower our cortisol levels by deep breathing/meditation, exercise, eating healthy, and activating our parasympathetic nervous systems, which aide in relaxation.

Listen to your bodies. Be gentle with your body.

Stay well! 🥰

Our Story

Hello, my name is Kate and I am the proud owner of Serenity Spa. I became a licensed massage therapist in 2005 where I got some experience working at a local business. After a few months of getting my feet wet and getting a taste in working in my field I soon branched out and opened my own business in 2006. I quickly grew and went back to school for my Nail Technician license in 2010 and in 2015 I went back to school for my Esthetician license. I have a thirst for knowledge and I am passionate about education.

I live in Manly with my husband Steve and 2 daughters, Naomi (just turned 3) and Shiloh (9 months), Faith (my cat), and Titus (my dog). We love Marvel movies, going on walks, parks, and hanging out together and being creative. My family is a huge supporter of what I do and I am so thankful to have them as my cheerleaders as I continue to grow Serenity Spa.

I enjoy giving customized massages and figuring out the cause of a problem (the problem solver in me), along with performing customized facials. I am certified in L.E. D and Microdermabrasion treatments, along with Prenatal and Medical Massage, Massage Cupping, and more. I also enjoy doing pedicures and getting the nails in shape.

I offer a unique and wide service menu that is customizable to each individual and I love putting new and exciting twists in my treatments. You just never know what I may be able to offer next!
