"Regain your health and enjoy life by utilizing traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Acupuncture and herbal therapy can be very effective in improving and maintaining your health."
Promoting Kid-Friendly Healthy Practices
With school winding down, Summer brings more opportunities to play outside, more time to hang out with friends and not stress out about the next project deadline or exam. I encourage you and your family to take advantage of this time to be exposed to as many healthy practices so that it becomes a way of life rather than another chore. Live life, love life!
Acupuncture and Acupressure Helps Kids Unwind
Stress can easily affect kids and teens as they maneuver through this world. Some telltale signs of an anxious child manifests as disruption in sleep, digestion, mood as well as headaches.
Acupuncture and pediatric
acupressure/tui na are phenomenal treatment strategies to promote tranquility and a balanced state of health.
~Inner Peace~
We are submerged in a high paced, multi-tasking world. Kids brains are running on overdrive! Thus the booming sales on fidget toys to reduce stress and promote focus. Find simple techniques to teach kids and teens that they can find inner peace without feeling they need to rely on a gadget. Try listening to the "Liquid Mind" station on Pandora while you do a couple of easy yoga stretches together. Kids can easily learn to meditate and benefit from mindfulness.
Healthy Snacks for Strong Bodies
Yes, I know diet can be a challenge especially with kids who are picky eaters however, try offering healthy substitutes like a
green smoothie and high protein
granola bars so they don't resort to junk foods laden with high fructose corn syrup, trans-fats or any another processed junk food. You and your kids will notice a positive change in mood and energy with a healthier diet! Lots of alternatives to chips and soda when snacking on the go such as Lara bars, KIND bars and gnu bars.
Unplug...
It can be hard to set down the tablet, smart phone or other video game because it was our go to during the snowy-wintry and rainy-spring days but make it a priority to get out and enjoy the sunshine!
Plan a no frills picnic dinner.
Enjoy a morning hike at a local state park.
Go to an outdoor concert.
Shop at your local farmers market.
And last but not least
don't forget the bug spray!!!
