The Indianapolis NAPW Chapter met for dinner and a wine tasting at DIVSYS International Headquarters on June 9, 2011. DIVSYS International is owned by NAPW member, Tammie Fish and her partner, Carol Bentley. DIVSYS is a women-owned company that fosters the culture of a reliance on technical excellence through modern quality techniques and continual education of team members.
As a result, managers and technical experts are required to maintain academic credentials. Almost all of the team at DIVSYS is a Lean Six Sigma Black Belt through the GE program. All members of the staff are proficient with the IPC specifications. This dedication to quality, continual improvement, and technical excellence is the genesis for the DIVSYS concept. http://www.divsys.com/

Swirl ? Smell ? Swirl ? Taste!
Dr. Shelley Coughlin, Coughlin Chiropractic, shared a few of the best things people can do to empower their bodies to heal and carry them into long and healthy lives:
????Exercise ? even 2-3 times per week for 30 minutes makes a difference.
????Take multi-vitamins.
????Take enzymes with meals?takes care of stomach problems and reflux.
????Stretch muscles to relieve pain in joints and prevent injuries.
????Yoga and Pilates lower stress!
????Meditation and Prayer
????Get a full night?s sleep ? at least 8 hours.
???? Avoid stimulants and exercise within 3 hours of bedtime.
????Maintain ideal weight and stop smoking.
????Start reading labels and select healthier options.
????Avoid ?trans-fats? and hydrogenated oils to lower cholesterol.
????Add 1 tbsp of organic apple cider vinegar + 1 tbsp of local honey to 8 oz. hot water to alkalize the body.
????Smile and Laugh! They increase positive attitude and lower stress.
????Migraine headaches and digestive issues? Could be allergies. Get tested or try a food rotation diet. Gluten and dairy products are the top two offenders.
????Avoid any form of sugar! It increases inflammation and builds up insulin resistance (causing diabetes) ? just two of the 140 ways sugar destroys your body.
????Aspartame, neurotoxin, or formaldehyde? (AKA: NutraSweet) is harmful to the liver and nervous system and breaks down into formaldehyde in your stomach! DO NOT give to pre-teens and younger as they cannot metabolize the toxins in their system.
????Consult your physician about a detox cleanse 2-4 times per year to lower your body?s toxic load.
????Take a deep breathe?from the stomach.
?????Hip- Hinge? when you lift heavy objects and protect that back!
????See a chiropractor! Regular spinal adjustments help to improve posture, restore normal nerve tension, increase white blood cell count for 24 hours, correct imbalances, improve neck and back movement, reduce injuries, and stimulate the brain among other things.
