Cellulite affects both men and women alike. Age, genetics, lifestyle, childbirth and sedentary jobs all contribute to those pockets of dimply fat that make us want to cringe in the dressing room, at the beach or poolside. I constantly am asked if Traditional Chinese Medicine has a 'magic point' or 'magic pill' to make these fat pockets disappear. The answer is: no, there is no 'magic pill' but, yes, there is a technique that will reduce the appearance of the fat pockets and with regular treatment can certainly help dissipate the size of the lumps and bumps. You have to call or email me for the details. That being said, you need to truly step up to the plate and do 'due diligence' to fight cellulite and here's how:
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: Diet, exercise and lifestyle change will win the war against cellulite.
1. Start eating a Mediterranean diet, while reducing your daily calories.
2. Start doing aerobic exercise 60-90 minutes daily (that means you get one day off rest).
3. Interval training is key 2 to 3 times weekly (if you don't know what this is, hire a trainer for one or 2 sessions).
4. Weight training is important 2 to 3 times weekly just after you've gotten off the treadmill, elliptical machine or whatever aerobic acitivity suits you. Weight training burns fat, builds lean muscle mass (which pushes against the fat pockets giving a much smoother appearance) and helps to build strong bones. Concentrate on the areas which have the most cellulite.
5. Call or email for schedules cellulite reduction treatments and lifestyle modifications.

Bones Like Stones
From Energy Times, Nov/Dec 2010
We can all improve the quality of our bones and help avoid osteoporosis. From infancy to young adulthood, bones build density. Mass peaks around 30 years of age and begins to break down at 50 years of age. If you start early with exercise and a few moderate lifestyle changes, you can have bones like stones!!
Did you know that about 44 million Americans have osteoporosis and low bone mass (osteopenia), that can go unnoticed until an actual break or fracture occurs? Wow, pretty incredible since this country is tops when it comes to having the finest medical diagnostic equipment in the world.....hmmm....Don't blame it on insurance companies or healthcare costs...there are plenty of FREE bone density testing days out there. Most people are ignorant, lazy or just don't care about their health to take a 5 minute, painless test.
According to the National Osteoporosis Foundation, one in two women and one in four men over age 50 will suffer an osteoporosis-related fracture during their lifetime...whew!!!! That could be YOU!!
Here's Your Healthy Tip of the Day: modifying your diet is the best way to have bones like stones! Calcium is crucial (1,000mg daily for adults 18-50 yrs and 1,200 daily for those over 50). Vitamin D helps your body absorb calcium. Vitamin K2 assists in the creation of proteins that incorporate calcium and other minerals into bone. AlgaeCal is particularly absorbable. COFFEE can inhibit the absorption of calcium, so it's best to wait an hour either before or after coffee to take your supplements.
EXERCISE....weight bearing exercise builds bone mass. Having been an athlete most of my life, I went for a bone density test. I found out I had the bone density of a 22 year old (described as a 'brick house') and at the rate I was going at 49, on the charts, I'll be 122 years of age before anyone would dream of suggesting I should worry about my bones. Honestly, I really don't want to live until 122 (just think of the visual here...ugh!), but I'm gonna keep up with my exercise and diet modifications, cause I sure don't want a broken or fractured bone spoiling my fun!!
A SPECIAL TIP FOR THE MEN TODAY: hey guys, you're often left out on the bone density partywagon. Speak with your healthcare practitioner and get yourselves a baseline bone density test!! Medical doctors often neglect men's bone health and never order a baseline test and then, it's too late! IT AIN'T JUST FOR THE GIRLS!!!!
