How does Panasonic Real Pro Elite EP-3222 rate? Overall, our rating of the Panasonic Ep-3222 is an 87/100. The remote control is easy to use, intuitive and comes with the Voice Guidance. The back and lower body massages are pretty comprehensive and effective. The warranty is a bit of a concern, since the direct factory warranty is rather short. It is possible to purchase an extended warranty, but this impacts the delivered price. If you are tall, then the footrest is an issue, since it cannot be adjusted. However, the technology used seems reliable and delivers a thorough massage. If you are looking for a shiatsu massage recliner in this category, this is definately one to seriously consider. - 17274

Fast Weight Loss for Your Wedding, Why You Shouldn't Do it

By Ricardo d Argence

If you are getting married soon, you may already be having thoughts about dieting and how you are going to look. Sure, you wouldn't mind being a little more in shape for your wedding, but the thing that so many brides don't recognize is that they should not overdo it!

Far too many brides starve themselves and do other extreme things to lose weight, and if this is a plan that you are contemplating, there are definitely some things that you should keep in mind. The truth is that losing weight fast before your wedding is an incredibly poor idea, and no one will suffer for it more than you will.

If you are planning to lose a lot of weight before a big event, consider the consequences of fast weight loss. In short, you are trying to hit two birds with one stone, by trying to accelerate the metabolism by consuming less calories than your system is used to, thus preparing your body for starvation process.

These are two contradictory impulses and you risk either not losing weight at all, or damaging your body's ability to regulate its response to food and nutrition. In a surprisingly short amount of time, you can do permanent damage to your body, so don't risk it!

You may even be tempted by weight loss pills. There is no pill that can cure your weight problems and some of them have such negative side affects that you end up with more problems than you started with. While others put caffeine and other stimulants in your system to give you a false energy boost,some pills will merely take off water weight, which you can do yourself by simply drinking enough water.

None of these are a permanent solution. Be careful of what you eat and take the health supplements regularly and drink lots of water for keeping the skin clear.

The problem with trying to lose weight before your wedding is that you are having to cope with a major life change in a very short space of time. To do damage to your body, or both,subjecting your body to rapid change is one way to make sure that it boomrangs back to where it was as soon as it can.

Weddings can be very stressful, so be careful to take steps to manage that stress. When you eat less than required,you will tend to get tired and irritable,and that is not the perfect way to prepare for the wedding.

Make sure that you are sticking with healthy diet and regular exercise,when you want to look great before your wedding. When you are getting married, the person you are marrying already believes you are beautiful and the wedding guests are people who love you and think the same thing. - 17274

Advance Wellness Research Special Deals

By Linda Kemp

Are acai berries really as good at helping people lose weight as they are made out to be? Considering the number of people testifying how great these supplements are, the answer seems to be yes. There are so many people who are claiming that they were finally able to lose weight just by adding Pure Acai Berry to their diet that it definitely seemed like a worthwhile quest in order to try this idea out.

To determine for myself whether acai berry is worth taking as a weight loss supplement, I decided to add Pure Acai Berry to my diet for a month. I choose this particular supplement because it seemed to be the most pure and the most concentrated. Having a free trial offer of it also helped because I knew that I would not be wasting money if I didn't like the results! Not knowing what I would experience, I was definitely not very certain at first if this would be worthwhile. However, I was exceptionally pleased with the results of supplementing my diet with this berry.

Before starting my acai berry supplement routine, I was carrying a modest amount of extra weight- just like most people in this country. I knew that summer was coming up and I was really hoping to find a way to get rid of the extra weight so that I would look good in the summer clothing that I wanted to wear. However, all of the diets I had tried left me hungry and cranky and never helped me lose weight because I would go off of them too quickly once I got tired of them. And other diet supplements I tried were horrible too, because they left me jittery and feeling strange. But this berry was not at all like any of those other weight loss experiences. I felt no ill effects while taking it and I started noticing results right away.

Basically, after a month of taking Pure Acai Berry, I was feeling and looking noticeably slimmer and I also felt very energetic. This was sure a different feeling than I've had on other diets! I am actually looking forward to summer this year and to trying on bathing suits, especially after continuing the supplement routine for another couple of months! Plus, because I've had more energy ever since taking this supplement, I've also found the energy to exercise. This has really made a difference since I look more toned and fit and the weight is coming off even easier than ever before.

What has really surprised me about acai berry is that weight loss is not the only benefit I've felt. I've just felt overall healthier since starting to take it and my improved body image is really starting to show in my confidence in myself. I am also very impressed with the amount of nutrients that this berry contains and know that getting plenty of antioxidants, fiber, omega fatty acids, and other nutrients will really help me stay healthy over my lifetime.

After my trial period of taking Pure Acai Berry, I am definitely sold on the effects of this superfood. I will continue to take it in order to keep my weight under control and for all of the other great health effects and I sincerely urge everyone else to do the same. Do your own trial of this supplement and you are sure to find out, like I did, that it really is a miracle food. - 17274
