Wake Up To Life

Many of us walk around with blinders or 'tunnelvision'.  We only see and perceive a very small percentage of what's going on in our world.  This is due to ignorance, fear or apathy in general.  The same goes for health.  Putting blinders on to your health can be detrimental to your well being and mortality.

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  If you are experiencing a general feeling of malaise, don't ignore the early signs of what could be a life-threatening or life-changing disease.  Go get checked out.  What can be just something very simple to deal with today could become a very serious condition in a few months if not addressed in the present.

Fibromyalgia

Did you know that there is no definite diagnosis for fibromyalgia?  Fibromyalgia is defined as pain experienced throughout the body for an indefinite period of time with no known cause.  Did you know that the combined therapies of acupuncture, Chinese herbal formulas, diet, exercise and meditation can greatly reduce the painful symptoms of fibromyalgia?

Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day:  if you are experiencing pain throughout your body, first visit your m.d. and have a complete blood panel done to rule out any other pathologies (such as leukemia, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, etc).  If your m.d. believes you are suffering from fibromyalgia, then take a step back.  Reassess your lifestyle:  stress, diet, exercise.  Speak with your dietitian, acupuncturist and therapist about a personalized wellness program.  Gentle healing yoga a few times per week and a few minutes of quiet meditation are the olives to your healthy cocktail!  If you have been diagnosed with fibromyalgia, empower yourself!  Log onto the link below, take the wellness questionnaire and get yourself started in the right direction to a pain-free life!
