Plan for After the Holidays NOW!

Losing weight is often a personal goal after the Holidays. Why not make it a company goal to have employees who are within a healthy weight range? Employers can pay as much as an additional $1,500 to insure an obese employee versus a healthy weight employee.

Motivate and support your employees as they strive for their healthy body weight. Sign your company up for The Back Rub Company's 12-Week Weight Loss Challenge. Contact Us for more details.

The Plain Hard Facts of Smoking

(Source:American Cancer Society)


Tobacco use is the single largest preventable cause of disease and premature death in the United States.

Each year 443,000 premature deaths and 49,400 non- smokers die as a result of exposure to secondhand smoke.

It turns out that more than 70 percent of adult smokers say they want to quit, but without help, fewer than 5 percent succeed.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention estimates that the annual cost of tobacco use to an employer averages $3,783 per smoker per year.


Benefits of Quitting Smoking

• 20 minutes after quitting your heart rate and blood pressure drops.


• 12 hours after quitting the carbon monoxide level in your blood drops to normal.


• 2 weeks to 3 months after quitting your circulation improves and your lung function increases.


• 1 to 9 months after quitting coughing and shortness of breath decrease.


• 1 year after quitting the excess risk of coronary heart disease is half that of a smoker.


• 5 to 15 years after quitting your stroke risk is reduced to that of a non-smoker.


• 10 years after quitting the lung cancer death rate is about half that of a continuing smoker. The risk of cancer of the mouth, throat, esophagus, bladder, cervix, and pancreas decreases.


• 15 years after quitting the risk of coronary heart disease is that of a non-smoker.

Workshop Spotlight - Smoking Cessation

Schedule a 60 minute Smoking Cessation Workshop or an entire 5-Week Smoking Cessation Program to kick off your company's Smokeout!

Participants will learn their unique smoking habits and triggers that lead them to smoking. They will be educated on effective smoking cessation methods and discover the correct stop-smoking method to QUIT today!

Schedule a Smoking Cessation workshop before 12/31/09, and each participant will be entered in a drawing to receive a COMPLIMENTARY Auriculotherapy/Ear Acupuncture session.
