Executive wellness

Just completed my seminar at an executive wellness retreat in Cancun, Mexico. Now for a few days living my relationship wellness model with my wife. Three observations:
1. All inclusive resorts encourage mindless, rather than mindful eating.
2. The obesity stats are truly reflective of what I am seeing on the beach.
3. It is amazing how parents have forgotten about the damage of UV rays to their children.
On an hour walk on the beach today, literally thousands of children were playing in the sand, and only 11 kids had any kind of protective headwear. How do we get people to take responsiblilty for their health and wellness???
Start tanning and stop burning.

I completely agree about how much you eat at exclusive resorts! It's available 24/7 and it just becomes an activity !

I can relate! When I was on vacation at an all-inclusive resort, I ate all day long and burnt to a crisp. I think that the "free" factor that comes along with being at a resort of this kind makes it so easy to forget about your normal lifestyle and healthy eating habits. As far as burning goes, we as foreigners to the Mexican sun underestimate its strength and are consequently shown up.

My employer and company overall was really suffering from a lot of absences and low productivity due to health issues. An agency was asked to conduct a study for the declining productivity and the findings were astonishing. The Agency suggested the use of a health plan from a specilized facility and since then things have started to change a bit though not drastically. The change is positive for the overall health of the company and we look forward to the services of Elitehealth.com
