"The Healthy Life"

Winter 2011

Greetings!
I dedicate this Winter issue to the topic of staying healthy by building your immune system. This is a time to re-assess how we keep our immune systems in balance and strong. Two case studies: in China, over 150 million people start every day with a mind-body balancing exercise called Tai Chi, believing that this gentle and poetic martial arts exercise keeps the internal organs energized and the mind focused. In the United States, we rush from bed and fit ourselves into a musket pressed tight with coffee, pulling a trigger that shoots us into a stressful day of traffic in a furious race against the clock. If you recognize yourself in this description, then this issue is for you. Take heed and change your patterns to avoid a date with chronic illness and a very unpleasant quality of life.Lastly, don't forget that spa gift certificates make the best gift of all for any man or woman this holiday season. Be sure to visit my website and purchase an Instant Gift Certificate! Happy holidays! I look forward to seeing you soon! Until then, be well. Yours in good health, |

The Immune System & Aging Skin
|
There are three components of the skin: Collagen provides support and structure, Elastin makes the skin elastic and Glycosaminoglycans (GAG's) make it strong, elastic and youthful. In healthy, young skin, all three components are produced in plentiful quantities. Read more |

Promoting Beauty With Food
|
Most of us associate beauty with youthfulness which has resulted in the "anti-aging" concept. Deficiencies in vital nutrients, proteins and essential fatty acids can sabotage the health and beauty of your skin. Another critical anti-aging concept is relaxation as stress causes the release of cortisol which increases cravings, blood sugar and inflammation. The result is accelerated aging by a continuous cycle of stress, weight gain, inflammation, and more stress. Read more |

Invest in Your Health In The New Year: The Benefits of Massage
|
There's no denying the power of bodywork. Regardless of the adjectives we assign to it (pampering, rejuvenating, therapeutic) or the reasons we seek it out (a luxurious treat, stress relief, pain management), massage therapy can be a powerful ally in your healthcare regimen. Experts estimate that upwards of ninety percent of disease is stress related. And perhaps nothing ages us faster, internally and externally, than high stress. While eliminating anxiety and pressure altogether in this fast-paced world may be idealistic, massage can, without a doubt, help manage stress. Read more  |
