SPOTTED AT THE EXPO

Herewith a selection of just a few of the interesting new products that were featured at the 2010 HOMEMAKERSexpo in Johannesburg.

Unique organizing units!

Rubbermaid FastTrack is a complete garage organisation system that includes shelving, baskets, specialised hooks and accessories on a wall-mounted rail to get items off the floor, away from dirt and moisture. Since the FastTrack steel rail provides infinite adjustability, you can easily add onto, shift and change your system as your needs evolve. The hooks have a soft grip coating to protect and hold your items. The steel rails and aluminium hooks are treated to prevent chipping, cracking, rusting and oxidation. Owing to the cost of building today, homes are becoming smaller, leaving confined space for parking and storage. FastTrack will alleviate any space problems whilst adding value to home.

Red hot

The portable infrared Sauna is an integrated, multi-functional and deluxe facility for Medicare and recreation, which incorporates the advantages of both a sunlight bath and a sauna all in one. The FIR ray is its major energy. The wavelength of FIR can penetrate 40mm deep into human skin, so the recipient can receive an infrared massage, making cell tissues resonate, which accelerates blood circulation and eliminate ones impurities, resulting in both bio-thermal and physical effect. 

This will improve your health. Major advantages of FIR Saunas are:

• Detoxification: Toxins accumulate in the body during modern daily life. Infrared heat therapy stimulates the sweat glands to cleanse and detoxify your skin.

• Reduce Stress: Infrared heat therapy loosens muscles and relaxes the body. Many massage therapists use infrared heat prior to massage to provide a much more thorough and effective treatment.

• Skin Benefits: Infrared heat increases blood circulation, expels dirt chemicals and removes dead cells from surface of skin. All of these benefits lead to a softer and firmer complexion.
• Exercise Exchange: A 20-30 minute FIR sauna session burns up to 500 calories, similar to a 5km run.
• Pain Relief: FAR Infrared heat relieves pain by expanding blood vessels and increasing circulation.
• Improve Immune System: During a fever, the body heats up to eliminate viruses and attack foreign agents. Subsequently, the body wards off invading organisms much more easily because the immune system is activated consistently by the ‘artificial fever.’
