A healthy diet provides all of the essential nutrients that your body needs to promote health, support a fit and active life, and reduce your risk of chronic diseases such as coronary heart disease, diabetes or cancer.

It is important to compare warranty coverage between models and also between brands. There can be some major differences in coverage. Massage chairs are increasing in complexity and sophistication. Warranty coverage is your insurance against any defects in materials or workmanship. Just like insurance, you hope you never need it, but just in case it is there.

Let’s take a look at the warranty coverage with the Omega Montage Elite. The first is the frame of the chair which has 5 years of coverage. You get parts coverage for 3 years. Labor is covered for 3 years also. With the Montage there is one year of free parts shipping included. Field service is also available where a technician will come out to your home and make repairs. Omega covers this for the first 90 days.

There are 5 pre-programs included with the Montage Elite massage chair. These are automatic programs that run the entire massage chair. There is a good variety of within the 5 programs. There are softer massages like Night, which are geared to warm you down prior to sleep. There are more vigorous massage treatments like Activation. There is an automatic program geared for practically everyone.

The Montage Elite comes with four manual massages. These techniques include kneading, tapping, finger press and shiatsu. You can use these to cover the back, neck and shoulders. There are also manual massage courses that allow you to focus on a particular region of the back. There are 6 manual courses, 4 for the back and 2 for the neck and shoulders. This an effective way to target problem areas you may have.

Your lower body is in for a treat with the Montage Elite. Omega incorporates an air compression style massage for the buttocks, hips, calves and feet. Air bags are used to deliver a compression style massage. The compression style massage uses a squeeze, hold and release pattern. This is very soothing and relieving for tight and sore muscles.

Another excellent feature of the Montage Elite is the traction system for the lower body. The traction system will stretch and elongate the lower extremities. It uses the leg rest to stretch you from the hips, legs and ankles. The foot airbags are activated to firmly hold your feet. The leg rest will come up to its full upright position. Then the leg rest will slowly be lowered and will stretch out your lower body as it does.

The Montage Elite also comes with full body heat. Heat is excellent to reduce swelling and increase blood flow. You can set the heat for the chair back, seat or leg rest and control them individually. Do you want to relax your mind? The Elite has a built in MP3 player to listen to your favorite music. Headphones are included to help you tune out the world and relax. You can even synchronize the massage movements to the rhythm of the music. This massage chair recliner has it all!

Why is this condition called pre-diabetes?
Pre-diabetes used to be called IGT/IFG, but the term pre-diabetes makes it easier to understand. Furthermore, pre-diabetes implies an impending risk that should be acted upon.

Question: What is pre-diabetes?
Answer: Pre-diabetes is the same as impaired glucose tolerance or impaired fasting glucose, depending on which test your doctor used to diagnose the disease. Many people with pre-diabetes go on to develop type 2 diabetes. If your doctor diagnoses you with pre-diabetes, you are in a good position. This means you have the opportunity to use weight loss from diet and exercise to prevent developing diabetes. For more information, click here. (A normal fasting blood glucose level is below 100 mg/dl - between 100 and 125 mg/dl a person has pre-diabetes.

Why is it essential to be diagnosed if I think I might have pre-diabetes?
It could be possible to prevent the development of type 2 diabetes if you find out about your pre-diabetes early enough. Research indicates that people who have pre-diabetes can delay or prevent the onset of type 2 diabetes by almost 60 per cent with adjustments to diet and exercise. Reducing weight by ten per cent, and partaking in modest physical activity for 30 minutes daily, could reduce the chance of developing type 2 diabetes.Pre-diabetes occurs when blood glucose levels exceed normal levels but do not climb high enough to warrant a diagnosis of diabetes.
