Researchers from Beijing Medical University, China have investigated the use of acupuncture to help restore hand function following a stroke.

The group receiving acupuncture showed significant improvement over the control group. They demonstrated superior hand function, greater walking ability and greater ease with daily living activities.

When combined with traditional rehabilitation, acupuncture can significantly improve the results.

Greetings!

Many of the kids are off school now for the summer. So we are offering the "Ultimate Self Defence Boot Camp for Kids" to help keep them amused.

We now have samples of our sandals in the clinic or you can email Emmie with your size and make and we can order them for you.

Also plenty of new research about pre-diabetes, something we are talking to more and more people about. Diabetes is a terrible condition with many very unpleasant side effects but can be controlled through diet! The choice is yours!

As usual, more can be found either on our main website or on our Facebook page.

Sincerely,

Estelle Mitchell

Pre-Diabetes - a "ticking timebomb"

One of the biggest recent changes in thinking about diabetes is the concept of Pre-Diabetes. This is higher than normal blood sugar levels combined with other risk factors. This is explained in more detail in this article from the BBC.

However there is some fascinating research being done in Newcastle that suggests that by controlling diet you can reverse early diabetes! What many people fail to recognise is that adult diabetes is directly related to diet and can be controlled and prevented through diet. Although this research is in the early stages it correlates with current clinical advice.

More information from the BBC

More information from Diabetes UK

If you are concerned about pre-diabetes we can test your blood sugar here at the clinic and also explain how you can manage your blood sugar without medication. Please contact Rebecca either by email or on 952 883 151

Rememeber: you have the control!

Emmie's Challenge

Yoga

Well I am now on week 10 of my challenge.

So far I have lost 3kg overall, gained 2kgs of muscle mass and dropped my body fat % from a whopping 38.4% to 34.1%.

I've dropped 2 belt loops and am starting to have the fabulous issue of my clothes feeling quite baggy! I think some shopping might be in order.

I would also like to thank everyone for their support. There have been days when kicking back with a glass of wine and a box of chocolates have been so tempting so Thank You for keeping me going.

Now I just have to decide what to do next as my 3 months finish in 2 weeks! The shakes will stay - I feel too good to stop!

And this is your last chance to join me if you fancy making this a 3 month challenge for you too! Please let me know so we can support each other! Bob has also offered a 10% discount if you do want to join me for the 3 month challenge - order online and make sure you tell him we are doing it together! More beautiful beach bodies!
