An “Attitudes in the American Workplace” survey found that 80 percent of employees experience job-related stress, and nearly half say they need help with stress management. Mr. Steam is offering expert advice on the most effective ways to manage and reduce stress, beginning in the bathroom. One way to begin to enhance and support a healthy lifestyle is with the addition of a steambath in the bathroom or exercise room. Steambathing may assist in promoting mental, physical, and emotional health benefits that may include reducing stress, detoxifying the body, and improving circulation. Upon stepping inside a steambath, relaxation becomes the theme. Within moments, warmth penetrates your body from head to toe, easing tired muscles, helping the cares of the day drift away. Steam assists in opening the skin’s pores and creates a flow of perspiration that can lift out the impurities of everyday living. Skin can be deeply cleansed, leaving it soft, supple, and healthy. Jump start your day feeling refreshed with a steambath followed by a cool bath or shower and a quick rubdown with a towel. To relieve stress at the end of the day, a hot shower after a steambath helps encourage a good night’s sleep. When used on a regular basis steambathing research shows that people feel rested and rejuvenated.

Several daily newspapers in the UK and elsewhere recently carried reports of a study commissioned by the Direct Line insurance company that suggests a cup of tea reduces stress, not just by drinking it but also because of the calming effect of the ritual of putting the kettle on. In their background information, they referred to literature that suggests drinking tea is associated with positive mood and feelings of relaxation, that its chemical properties have been linked with making the brain more alert and helping people recover from stress, and that it has beneficial effects on the cardiovascular system.
Engineered nanomaterials are widely used in sunscreens to make sun-blocking ingredients like titanium dioxide and zinc oxide rub on clear instead of white. These materials have been shown to exhibit different fundamental physical, biological, and chemical properties than their larger counterparts. The report indicates that very few nanomaterials have been adequately tested, though the limited data that is available shows that their small size makes them more able to enter the lungs, pass through cell membranes, and possibly penetrate damaged or sunburned skin.
