One of the leading characteristics of the modern world is Stress so much so that even young children talk about being stressed! Stress can take many forms and have many causes not just the Emotional Stress of work or relationships, but also the Physical Stresses of poor sleep, poor nutrition, pollution, or insufficient exercise. When these accumulated Stresses build up in our lives and in our bodies it can have severe consequences far beyond the individual stresses themselves. Experts now agree that Stress is a major contributory factor in most of the leading illnesses in the western world, including the four leading causes of death heart disease, cancer, strokes, & diabetes, also contributing to many of the allergy & breathing problems, energy deficiency conditions, and mental disorders that people are now increasingly experiencing. To put these issues in perspective, half of men and one third of women in the UK will develop heart disease, while as many as one third of the population will develop cancer. Although some people recognise this issue in the abstract, few really understand the severity and potential impact on our lives. Recent studies have started to quantify exactly how powerful Stress can be on our lives, identifying that a stressful work environment can double the risk of death from heart attack, stroke and other cardiovascular conditions, while the latest report from the Whitehall II study, recently published in the Archive of Internal Medicine (24 October 2005), which is a landmark health study of UK Civil Servants over more than 20 years, identifies that simply experiencing issues of stressful relationships and perceptions of injustice within the workplace can increase the risks by 50% alone. Drawing on the work of Gina Lazenby in her book The Healthy Home (Conran Octopus 2000) the effects of stress on the body can be likened to a Water Barrel. Think of the water inside the barrel as the level of stress that gradually fills up from the different pipes pouring into it The Seven Stressors. When the level reaches the top and starts over-flowing, that represents us becoming ill. The lower the level in the barrel, the healthier we are. What we have to do, to keep in balance, is to reduce the stress coming into the barrel and turn on the tap to release the stress from the bottom of the barrel The De-Stressors.

When we look at the way in which the modern world creates stress, and the physical consequences of stress, there are a number of common challenges: Modern Society Time Demands Financial Pressures Industrialised Food Poor quality Sleep Inactive Lifestyle Environmental Pollution Consequences for People Work-Life Imbalance Stress Reactions Dietary Concerns Reduced Performance Low Vitality & Energy Environmental Stress on the Body

Most people know what steps are needed to live a healthier life - four foundation areas for improved health would be a clean Environment (primarily air, internal & external, and water), balanced Nutrition, appropriate Exercise, and good quality Sleep, while restructuring our work and income can help with time and financial pressures. However for most people there are also barriers that get in the way of change existing habits; and not being aware of appropriate solutions that will realistically fit in to our lifestyles. How many gyms are full after the latest New Year resolutions, and empty a few months later! Nikkens key understanding is to offer wellness technologies which we can adopt into our lives without first having to change our habits. We can receive the benefits by sleeping in our own bed, wearing our own shoes, sitting on our own seats, drinking fresh spring-like water and breathing clean air in our homes and offices, and benefiting from natural wholefood nutrition. Nikken offers innovative technologies in nine major areas: - KenkoDream Sleep Technology exclusive world-wide endorsement by the World Federation of Chiropractic. - Kenko Magnetic Technology - the original patented technological foundation for Nikken - KenkoTherm Far-Infrared Technology - passive ceramic technology (and thus without specialized Far Infrared machines.) - PiMag Water Technology - fresh spring-like water in your own home, Water Quality Association Gold Seal. - Air Power5 Air Filtration Technology - hospital operating theatre quality air, able to filter particles as small as airborne bacteria, with the highest seal of approval by the British Allergy Foundation. - Negative Ion Technology - passive technology for sleep and joints, and patented non-polluting air generation. - unique new Negative-Ion Cookware for healthier and more nutritious cooking. - CardioStride Technology - enabling cardiovascular exercise to be naturally integrated into daily life - Unique nutritional supplements in association with Michio Kushi and other world-leading experts and research including: - Jade Greenzymes in partnership with Prof Yoshihide Hagiwara - Lactoferrin in partnership with Prof Narain Naidoo - Unique skincare solutions including the international award-winning Chitosan Microflake technology, winning 3 international Gold Medals in Germany, Switzerland and the UK.

Sleep the foundation of Wellness. Nikkens Sleep Systems have the exclusive endorsement of the World Federation of Chiropractic and bring together most of Nikkens advanced technologies. A Nikken Sleep System consists of a special mattress, quilt, and pillow, which are designed together to consider not only comfort and support as would be expected but additionally the thermal environment, moisture, ventilation, hygiene, massage, stimulation, relaxation, and the energetic environment, all together, to give the best possible setting in which to experience the highest quality sleep. Magnetics designed to promote balance and relaxation. When the body is less stressed physically, it brings greater reserves to its other challenges, so it can even feel increased alertness, clarity, and vitality. Nikkens patented Kenko Magnetic technologies are specifically designed to support the body. Whether designed into .a seat, or a pair of insoles, or for topical application on the body, Nikkens magnetic technologies can be unobtrusive, sustaining the body throughout the day. KenkoTherm Far-Infrared Technology an advanced technology ceramic fibre which is incorporated into Nikkens quilts, clothing/joint supports, and as a constituent part of many of Nikkens other applications. Amongst the many exciting benefits is the ability to behave as an intelligent insulation, using deep penetrating farinfrared heat to maintain the body at a comfortable temperature in a much wider range of environmental conditions than with normal fibres, assisting with higher quality sleep, helping to reduce the risk of injury, and helping the bodys internal processes. PiMag Water Technology designed to create fresh spring-like water in your own home or office living, energized, water as if you were drinking at the spring source yourself. Municipal water at best contains Chlorine a powerful oxidant which is stressful for the body and designed to kill bacteria (both harmful bacteria, but also natural, supportive, good bacteria), and at worst contains contaminants and pollutants; while bottled water is expensive, processed, bottled, shipped, stored, and shelved, usually in soft plastic bottles with the potential to leach plasticizers into the water, devoid of energy or life. Gold Seal certification by the Water Quality Association. The PiMag Optimiser takes PiMag water to the next level of optimization, restructuring the molecular clusters for improved absorption, and further locking in additional oxygen and energies.

THE WELLNESS DAY
How are Nikkens Technologies and Products designed to be integrated into daily life? Nikkens technologies are designed for primary support to overall health and wellness in the four foundation areas of Sleep and Rest/Relaxation, Environment, Fitness/Exercise, and Nutrition, with commensurate benefits to particular problems or issues following on. Probably the most powerful health benefit will be derived from improved quality of sleep, so the first consideration will be Nikken Sleep Systems for the whole family simply by sleeping in your own bed, your body will be given an environment designed to promote the highest quality of sleep and to assist in the process of recovering each night from the stresses of the day before. Many people find that Nikkens Air Power5 air filter will also add to sleep quality and comfort, particularly noting the highest certification from the British Allergy Foundation if they have a tendency towards allergies or asthma. The Air Power5 unit also incorporates Nikkens patented pollution-free negative-ion technology in an additional refreshing enhancement, and of course they have even more applications for clean refreshing air throughout the day. Another important element to sleep quality and the recovery process is adequate hydration. Interestingly, by the time the body is aware of feeling thirsty, it is already significantly dehydrated. Nikkens PiMag water is designed to create fresh spring-like water in our own homes and offices, but in the process creates water which is also more drinkable and better absorbed an important tool in helping to ensure optimal hydration, both at night during our sleep, and also throughout the day. Having left the Nikken Sleep System behind for the day, Nikkens KenkoInsoles are designed to carry the benefits of Nikkens magnetic technologies into the days activities in ones shoes, with KenkoStrides adding far-infrared energies as well. Nikkens CardioStride shoes, carefully designed and weighted, help generate calorie-burning cardiovascular exercise throughout the days normal activities, without setting special time aside for exercise alone. Nikkens magnetic & far-infrared technologies are incorporated into the Kenko Thermowear Convertible Jackets also ideally suited for use in sports: lightweight, with removable sleeves, an array of magnets across the shoulders, and a pocket for an additional magnetic pad in the back, all supporting reduced stress, rotation, flexibility, and effective warmth. Many find them particularly suited for Golf; and all of these qualities have value in most sports and sporting performance, with many world-class sports figures giving testimony to the value of Nikkens technologies (4-time World Champion boxer Evander Holyfield to name but one here). Nikkens dynamic magnetic massage device, the Magboy, is ideally suited for optimal sports warmups and warm-downs, along with the KenkoTherm support wraps for the joints and the back, both for prevention and also if problems arise. Nikkens passive devices such as the KenkoSeat , Kenko Relax Pads, jewelry, and other accessories, and the full range of other dynamic devices all have excellent applications for a wide range of physical issues. Nikkens insight into wellness continues into Nutrition. Nikkens herbal Seisho range is a daily skincare programme, designed to nourish and protect the skin from the harsh modern environment and the effects of premature aging, with refreshing and revitalizing Thalassokea face-mask treatments completing the process. Combined with Nikkens new negative-ion cooking technology and foremost wholefood supplements, Ciaga, Jade Greenzymes, Lactoferrin Gold 1.8, Bio-Directed NutriTechnology, and PiMag water, Nikken offers a complete support for Total Wellness.
