According to the US Surgeon General’s report, regular physical activity:

• Helps protects against certain cancers, including colon and breast cancer

• Helps prevent arthritis and may help relieve pain and stiffness in people with this condition
• Helps prevent the insidious loss of bone known as osteoporosis
• Reduces the risk of falling among older adults
• Relieves symptoms of depression and anxiety and improves mood

Exercise is about making your body’s well being a priority in your life.  The hardest part is finding the time right?  Well, time is a funny thing, there is always enough of it for the truely important stuff.  So if you find yourself saying “I just didn’t have time to do that.”  Please be honest with your self and restate this as “That just wasn’t important enough for me to spend the time doing it.”  This can be difficult at first, but being honest with yourself will take you several steps towards a happier healthier life.

Commit to 30 minutes each day to stretching and strengtheing your body.  This time a A+ priority, and nothing can replace it.  In a few short weeks you will begin to reep the rewards of a vibrant body and the the joyous life that comes with it.

Happy Easter everyone

Acupuncture

The above link takes you to the Acupuncture introduction page on www.harmonyhealth.com.  From there you will be able to navigate through over 40 pages of detailed information regarding this facinating procedure.  I have had several people asking for information about acupuncture so I wrote the following brief discription and posted it on my website.

A Chinese medical treatment based on the understanding that living bodies pulse and flow with an energy that is beyond the limited spectrum of the human eye similar to microwaves, or radiowaves.  Further, ALL diseases of the body begin with a disruption of this energy field that if left uncorrected will manifest as an ailment of the physical body.  After thousands of years of research a modern acupuncturist understands and uses a complex map of this energy field and by stimulating specific points, he can alleviate stagnation, and realign this energy field which will very shortly manifest as a decrease in pain and restoration of function in the bodies tissues.  Acupuncture is commonly used to control pain and to treat other conditions such as allergies, hypertension or addiction withdrawal. Acupuncture is one component of an overall program of Chinese medicine that is very similar to the modern wellness movement happening in America today.
