Happy May!
This month we celebrate Mother's Day and the special women in our lives. A gentle reminder when shopping for the perfect gift for mom -- avoid candles, perfumes and powders made with synthetic fragrances. These innocent looking items, festively packaged for gift giving, can aggravate asthma, trigger allergies, disrupt hormones and potentially cause cancer. Candles in particular create a toxic home environment when chemicals like toluene and benzene are released into the air. Opt for natural products that protect the health of your loved one (see below for some ideas).
This Memorial Day we remember those who courageously gave their lives to protect our freedoms. We honor their sacrifice and thank them for their service.
.
Please note that our offices will be closed on Monday, May 27th for the holiday.

What's In Your Health Toolbox?
National Women's Health Week fittingly kicks off on Mother's Day, and serves as a reminder for all women to prioritize their health by eating healthy, being active, kicking bad habits, managing stress and getting preventive health screenings. Striving to live above the wellness line by being aware and making healthy choices helps bring harmony to the
body, mind, and spirit that can improve your quality of life.
Many working moms put their own health on the back burner as they juggle the demands of the workday and caring for the family. Nutritional deficiencies, lack of exercise and stress can spiral into chronic health problems. Making health a priority and building positive health habits have long-term effects that benefit the whole family.
Where are you on your health journey, and where do you want to go? What tools do you use to support your health? Essential oils are a great way to boost your overall health naturally... and your family's too!
Check out Dr. Chiappino's video above about the many benefits of aromatherapy. Want to explore a non-toxic lifestyle, but don't know where to start? Give our office a call at 631.265.1223.
Lastly, this Mother's Day, consider giving the gift of health. The Young Living Premium Starter Kit is a great way to show the loved one in your life how much you care for her. Purchase a kit for mom, and get a free gift for yourself! All orders this month come with a free relaxation rollerball -- the perfect calming tool for days when life gets a bit stressful!

ADHD Alert: Pull the Plug on Toddler Screen Time
You may want to think twice before allowing your toddler to use your tablet or smartphone. A new study finds that just two hours of screen time a day in children less than five years old is associated with behavioral problems and attention deficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) symptoms.
Study participants who
spent 2 hours or more looking at a screen each day were 7.7 times more likely to meet the criteria for an ADHD diagnosis when compared to children who spent 30 minutes or less each day on a screen.
In a separate announcement, concerns over increasing childhood obesity rates prompted the World Health Organization to issue warnings on screen time for children under five, recommending no screen time at all for babies less than 2 years old, and no more than 1 hour for toddler up to five years old. The new guidelines offer physical activity and sleep recommendations in the interest of deterring sedentary behavior, which is a leading risk factor for long-term health consequences.
Long distance loved ones, don't despair -- video calling grandma is still A-OK!

Acupuncture Gives Prospective Moms and Dads Hope
for a Successful Pregnancy
The journey to starting a family is often filled with twists and turns, especially for those facing fertility issues. The disappointment, frustration and anger felt by couples trying to conceive often magnifies the problem, adding anxiety and stress to an already stressful situation. New research has shown that women with high levels of alpha-amylase, an enzyme associated with stress, have a more difficult time conceiving.
While many couples turn to modern day techniques such as in vitro fertilization (IVF), there is an old world option that can safely, oftentimes less expensively, increase the chance of conception. According to Lori Fortunato, LAc, "Acupuncture is a natural and effective modality for not only relieving stress, but for increasing the odds of achieving and sustaining a pregnancy. There are a host of underlying reasons for infertility, ranging from genetic factors to thyroid disorders. For women, acupuncture helps regulate the levels of FSH, LH and E2 and raise progesterone to normal levels to improve the chance of conception. For men with infertility, acupuncture helps to stimulate sperm production and movement."
If you are having difficulty becoming pregnant, contact our office to make an appoint-ment with Lori and learn about her success with acupuncture for fertility. 631.265.1223.
