A new concept for holding outdoor parties. The Kubik design is by a Berlin-based urban design agency called ModulorBeat and light artist Andreas Barthelmes.

I believe this business opportunity could work in upmarket areas.
Weight loss supplements such as Fenphedra are trying to get consumers to lose weight by increasing the metabolism using powerful compounds such as caffeine, synephrine, phenylethylamine, and chocmaine.
However, taking pills is not only the solution to increase metabolism. Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners or TCM physicians claim that acupuncture can help you to lose body fat by increasing the metabolic rate which means burning more calories to speed up weight loss. These practitioners claims that acupuncture stimulates the production of a hormone called endorphins and this hormone helps to lower body fat, insulin and lipid levels in the bloodstream thus less insulin is converted into body fat.
This business idea may be something for those who are interested in alternative medicine.
It is not uncommon that hotels offer spa services. How about offering light theraphy services?
Light therapy has a history that stretches back to the ancient Greco-Roman times. Studies has shown that when full-spectrum light travels from the eye to the brain, it triggers the hypothalamus to send chemical messengers to regulate the autonomic functions of the body such as blood pressure, breathing, digestion, the immune system, as well as the body’s circadian rhythm. In order to maintain health, it may be important to be exposed to light containing the full wavelength spectrum found in natural light.
If you are interested in introducing this in your spa, you could consider Sunspectra™ 9000 from Sybaritic, Inc. May just be something you need to differentiate yourself from competitors.
Businesses and products that focuses on health and beauty such as slimming programs, weight loss pills, and spas rakes in huge amount of money. The next billionaire will be the person who invents a new age way of promoting health beauty.
Take for example a recent discovery in the field of ‘energy therapy’ that can help overweight individuals manage weight by using a simple acupressure “tapping” method which appears to stop emotionally based overeating quickly and painlessly without the use of any medications.
Developed by three recognized leaders in the field of Energy Psychology, Dr. Carol Look, Dr. Patricia Carrington and Dr. Sandra Radomski, the program makes use of psychological acupressure technique known as “EFT” (short for Emotional Freedom Techniques) that aims to re-program the mind and nervous system to adopt an entirely different attitude toward food. EFT acts to clear these emotional blockages allowing individuals to regain their emotional balance and return to more healthy eating and weight patterns.
