Preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Preventing Carpal Tunnel Syndrome

Many of us spend hours a day typing away on a computer keyboard, which can lead to carpal tunnel syndrome. Here are two exercises you can do daily to ward off any carpal tunnel symptoms.

1) Bend your elbows, bring your hands up in the air to about head level, and rotate your wrists in circles. Circle first to the right and then to the left. Do this for a total of two minutes.

2) Clench your fists gently and then spread your fingers wide open. Repeat ten times.

These exercises are most helpful when repeated frequently through the day.

Tae Kwon Do : Korean Martial Arts

TAE KWON DO: KOREAN MARTIAL ARTS

I bumped into an old acquaintance the other day. She looked great, and I barely recognized her. She had lost so much weight. She credited her great achievement to taking Tae Kwon Do classes, which she began a year and a half ago. She explained that Tae Kwon Do means the art of fist and foot, and it involves a lot of kicking. She loves the results of her newly flexible body and commented it’s a fabulous leg, waist, and butt workout.

She went on to tell me how the classes helped her with stress related to work and frustrations in general, and how she is so much happier these days. She also has more energy and feels stronger.

My friend was such an inspiration. I don’t need to lose weight, but who
couldn’t use a bit more flexibility and a firmer body?

I might just check out a class.

Exercise: Protects You From Free Radicals

EXERCISE: PROTECTS YOU FROM FREE RADICALS

We all know antioxidants such as vitamin C and E have been touted as protection from free radicals-molecules that damage cells and tissue and contribute to disease.

Aerobic exercise contributes to the protection from free radicals as well, but recently I learnt that lifting weights is also a weapon against free radicals.

Researchers tested 62 people with an average age of 68. Those who lifted weights three times a week for six months showed a lower incidence of free radical damage.

The group that did no exercise had a 13% increase in damage, which is expected as you age, while the exercising group had an increase of only 2%.

It looks like it’s time for me to dust off my old weights.

Chia Seeds: The Ancient Power Food

Chia Seeds: The Ancient Power Food

Chia seeds are an ancient fuel source used for centuries by two powerful tribes, the Aztecs and Mayans. The Aztecs would traditionally consume chia for extra energy and stamina before going to battle or before a big hunt.

The super seeds contain an abundance of life-enhancing nutrients such as omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, as well as neuro protective antioxidants which produce cell membranes that are more flexible and efficient. This improves brain function, such as memory and concentration.

Chia seeds nutritional components also include healthy fats, proteins and fiber, as well as high levels of calcium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, copper, niacin and zinc. Perfect for healthy blood sugar, sustained energy and a powerful combatant for diabetes, heart disease and healthy metabolism.

Optimize your health by adding two to four tablespoons of this superfood into soups, cereals, smoothies, vegetable dishes and baked goods. Chia Seeds are easy to find in your local health food store or in a quality supermarket.

Natural Beauty Tips – Noise Pollution and Hearing Loss

Noise Pollution and Hearing Loss

We live in noisy cities, we use noisy appliances, we play with noisy games and blast loud music. All these activities take a toll on our hearing.

This aural assault can initially cause the loss of high-frequency hearing that’s registered by the sensory cells nearest our eardrums where they take the worst beatings. We don’t regenerate these cells, so once they’re gone, they don’t come back.

Noise can raise levels of cortisol, a stress hormone that can among other things, raise your blood pressure.

You might be surprised to learn that just 30 minutes of exposure to sound reaching 90 decibels – the range of some leaf blowers, lawn mowers and motorcycles, can irreversibly injure the sound-transmitting cells in your ears. The louder the sound, the less time it takes to do damage.

30 minutes or more exposure of the following can cause hearing loss:

  • 110 decibels – Concerts, Sports events, Car horn from 3 feet
  • 100 decibels – Train, Subway, Motorcycle, MP4 player at full volume
  • 90 decibels – Power tools, Blender, Blow dryer

Unlikely to cause hearing loss:

  • 80 decibels – Alarm clocks, garbage disposal
  • 80 decibels – MP4 player at three quarters volume
  • 80 decibels – Truck going 40 MPH from 50 feet
  • 70 decibels – Traffic and a vacuum cleaner

Solutions to Prevent Hearing Loss:

  • Shop for quieter appliances and run noisy appliances at different times
  • Use noise canceling headphones or ear plugs
  • Solid doors block more noise than hollow core ones
  • Carpeting, area rugs and draperies absorb noise. The thicker the better
  • Seal gaps with adhesive backed weather stripping around doors and windows

Natural Beauty Tips – Post Holiday Tune Up

Post Holiday Tune Up

Wishing you a Happy New Year.  Here are a few simple tips to release the post holiday stress while supporting a stress free and fabulous 2017.
  1. When you come home from work, prepare a relaxing cup of chamomile tea.  In a dark room sip the tea with your legs elevated and absolutely no disturbances.  This ritual helps you to decompress from the day. Time permitting allow a few minutes sitting still with your eyes closed.  Then you’re good to go for your evening activities.
  2. Rag doll stretch – bend over forward as if you were going to touch your toes.  As your arms are hanging suspended in midair inhale and exhale to the count of 10.  Then, slowly come up. This exercise will make you feel relaxed and grounded.
  3. Self Shiatsu shoulder massage – Making a fist with your right hand, pound in an up and down motion along your shoulder blades in 3 different spots. Repeat 5-7 times. Then switch sides, using your left fist to pound your right shoulder.

A great de-stresser!  And this massage will make you feel more alert as well.

Natural Beauty Tips – Get A Better Night’s Sleep

GET A BETTER NIGHT’S SLEEP

Many of us suffer from insomnia; the inability to fall asleep easily, repeatedly waking up during the night, and difficulty falling back asleep. Since our body repairs itself at night, getting a good night’s sleep is imperative for good health.

Here are some natural solutions to combat insomnia:

1. It’s difficult to fall asleep if you are too wound up, so a few minutes of stretching will help remove stress from your body. End with a few slow, deep breaths.

2. Take a hot bath or even just a foot bath to relax. Dip your feet in hot water up to your ankles for at least 10 minutes. Foot baths draw blood away from the head, aiding sleep.

3. Don’t use TVs, computers, smartphones or backlit e-readers for 90 minutes before retiring. The blue light emitted by these devices suppresses the sleep-promoting hormone melatonin. A study at Harvard found that people who read from a screen before bed found it harder to wake up in the morning and feel alert, even when they slept for a sufficient amount of time.

4. Try an herbal remedy such as passion fruit (Passiflora incarnnata). It’s a relaxant and antispasmodic. Another choice is Skullcap (Scutellaria lateriflora), which restores nervous system function and helps with sedation. Both can be purchased at a good health food store.

Comments Off on Natural Beauty Tips – Sauerkraut: Lactic Acid Fermentation of Cabbage for Good Health

Natural Beauty Tips – Sauerkraut: Lactic Acid Fermentation of Cabbage for Good Health

Sauerkraut: Lactic Acid Fermentation of Cabbage for Good Health

The basis of good health is good nutrition. Over the years, there has been a growing awareness of the value of simple, traditional foods and their health-enhancing properties. A good example is naturally fermented sauerkraut. Archaeological findings have shown that people fermented plant food and cabbage even during the hunter-gatherer stage of human development. In Korea, a meal is not complete without kimchi.

The health benefits of friendly bacteria:

Lactic acid bacteria prevent decay in our bowels by breaking down foods, making them more digestible. Acetylcholine, which is produced during fermentation, stimulates the peristaltic movement of the intestines. It also assists the circulation of the blood and prevents constipation by promoting bowel movements. Lactic acid-fermented products maintain the balance of acids and alkalis, strengthening the acidity of the gastric juice when hydrochloric acid production lags, and reducing acidity when production is up. Rich in enzymes, lactic acid also encourages the secretions of all the digestive organs.

For the greatest benefits of sauerkraut’s healing properties, make sure that when you purchase store-bought sauerkraut it has not been heated or pasteurized. Otherwise, the healing properties such as the lactic acid bacteria, enzymes and vitamin C have been cooked out. For good health, eat 1 tablespoon of sauerkraut with meals, anywhere from 3-7 times per week.

Some of the best organic brands to choose in the health food store are:
  • Real Pickles
  • Hawthorne Valley
  • Liv Cultured
  • Farmhouse Culture
  • Deep Root
Here’s to your health!

Natural Beauty Tips – ACCESS BARS: The effortless touch therapy to success, happiness, freedom, health and inner peace.

ACCESS BARS: The effortless touch therapy to success, happiness, freedom, health and inner peace.

A year ago I began offering an additional service to my current facelift massage clients, because of the miraculous results I experienced in my own life. My business soared effortlessly by 25%, all my relationships improved, and life even became more joyful and easier. The life changing modality is called Access Bars. Access bars easily opens up new possibilities to enter your life and shifts to occur in your life. Access Bars opens up your awareness to areas in which your mind had limited or no access to before. Access bars unveils and makes available for you to live a limitless life: your birthright.
Here are just a few of the raving results my clients have experienced from Access Bars sessions:

I’m able to accomplish more in a shorter amount of time. My procrastination issues are gone!
… Michelle
After 3 Access Bars sessions, I was able to get off Prozac. Lisa keeps changing my life. I’m so grateful. I’m finally getting off my not so merry go round.
… April
Been suffering from depression and OCD since I’m a teenager, I’m in my 40’s now. After 1 session I told Lisa “I’m happy to be alive”. Two weeks later I landed my dream job after being unemployed for two years. Lisa’s sessions are a life changer.
… Justin
My entire life, I struggled with my weight. I was addicted to Brownies. Hearing Lisa’s success stories, I was curious to see what was in store for me. One Access bars session later, I was effortlessly able to give up the brownies and finally able to stay on a two-week internal cleanse.
… Steve
Wow! Each visit I notice my fears which have held me back in life are no longer a part of me. 
… Elena

I’m sleeping better than I have in years, and I’m enjoying the pleasant dreams. It feels great to go through life happy. Nothing seems to bother me anymore. Simply magic! I never felt so calm and safe in the world. I feel as if I’m being positioned in the right place at the right time. New opportunities have opened up and my business has improved.
… Lara

 I limp through life with foot pain. After a few sessions, I was able to walk pain free for 5 days.
… Marla

How does Access Bars work?

Our conscious and subconscious thoughts, attitudes, ideas, behavioral patterns, belief systems, and emotions determine our success, happiness, and health, and if we are to have happy, loving relationships.
There are 32 points on the head called “bars,” which hold all the neural, electro-magnetic components of every thought, attitude, idea, behavioral pattern, belief system, and emotion that you have ever experienced. Each “bar” corresponds to a different aspect of your life, such as money, power, creativity, joy, health, sex, and your physical body.
As the practitioner gently touches these points, called “running your bars,” the old thought patterns are easily erased, no longer holding you back in life, freeing you to exceed your goals. It is similar to hitting the delete button on your junk email folder. Just like a computer stores data, the brain stores thousands of your conscious and subconscious belief systems, thoughts, attitudes, and feelings.
In the past, you may have tried over and over again to change things in your life, but you were unsuccessful because all your thought patterns have solidified, limiting your capacity for change.
After just one Access Bars session, clients have reported major shifts in their lives. When old, limiting thought patterns are cleared, it allows unlimited possibilities to show up in your life. One session can clear as many of 5,000 to 10,000 belief patterns.
Measuring people’s brains, Neuroscientist Jeffrey L. Fannin found that after just one Access Bars session, the brain function of individuals was 3 times above normal. Watch the YouTube videos Review of Access Bars by Neuroscientist and Access Bars and Regulation Thermometry Dr. Lisa Cooney.

BEANS: Nature’s Practically Perfect Food

According to plant geneticist George L. Hosfield, Ph.D., “Beans are probably the best human plant food there is.” He explained to Reuters Health that beans are full of protein and fiber yet low in fat. They also contain important vitamins and minerals, such as folic acid, potassium and iron. “With the additional bonus of their antioxidants, you have almost the perfect food,” he said. Beans are loaded with soluble fiber and are an important source of two essential amino acids not found in cereal grains: lysine and threonine. Therefore, beans are the nutritional complement to whole grains; together they deliver a complete protein.

We all want to eat healthily, but most of us don’t have hours to spend in the kitchen. Especially in the warmer months, we’d rather not spend too long hovering over a hot stove. Here’s a summer dish that’s quick and light, yet still very satisfying. Enjoy!

Chickpea Couscous Salad

Ingredients:
1 cup canned chickpeas
1 cup uncooked whole wheat couscous
1 medium carrot
1 stalk celery
1 small onion
1 tablespoon tahini paste
1 – 1½ cups of water
2 tablespoons (approx.) olive oil
2 tablespoons (approx.) lemon juice
Pinch of sea salt

 

Cooking instructions:

  • In a 9-inch skillet or pot bring 1¾ cups of water to boil on a high flame. Add a pinch of sea salt and 1 tablespoon of tahini paste and stir. 
  • Add 1 cup of whole wheat couscous.
  • Dice the vegetables and add them to the skillet. 
  • Cover the skillet or pot.
  • On a low flame, cook the couscous for approximately 7-10 minutes. The couscous should be firm. 
  • Transfer the cooked couscous into a serving dish, add the chickpeas and mix.
  • For the dressing, mix 2 tablespoons of olive oil with 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, add sea salt to taste and mix. Pour over the salad.

Natural Beauty Tips – ENERGY-BOOSTING FOODS

ENERGY-BOOSTING FOODS

With hectic schedules, deadlines, responsibilities and lack of sleep, who couldn’t use an extra boost of energy to get through the day? Try some of these quick, health-inducing and energizing foods:
  1. Eating oatmeal for breakfast helps stabilize blood sugar all day. As an added benefit, oatmeal is also rich in fiber and protein.
  2. Almonds are packed with magnesium, which helps convert sugar into energy. Their protein and fiber also provide sustained energy.
  3. Avocados are a satisfying and good source of healthy fat.
  4. Lentil soup is high in fiber and helps regulate blood sugar levels, and its selenium is mood-enhancing. 
  5. Kale contains protein, fiber and many minerals and antioxidants. It’s delicious sautéed in olive oil with garlic and a pinch of sea salt.
  6. Quinoa is a gluten-free grain which contains protein and amino acids for strong muscles.

Recipe for quinoa:

  • 1 cup quinoa
  • 1½ cups of water
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt
In a 1-quart saucepan, bring the water to a boil with sea salt. Rinse quinoa thoroughly to clean and remove its bitter taste. Drain, then add to the boiling water. After it returns to a boil, lower the heat to simmer until the water is completely absorbed, approximately 15 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl and use a fork to fluff the grains.

Pesto dressing for quinoa:

  • 4-5 leaves of fresh chopped basil
  • 2 large cloves chopped garlic
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts or pine nuts
  • ½ cup water
  • 2½ tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sea salt or 2 tablespoons soy sauce
Blend all ingredients until smooth.

Comments Off on Natural Beauty Tips – EARTHING

Natural Beauty Tips – EARTHING

EARTHING: Connecting to the Earth for Health and Well-Being

The practice of Earthing involves connecting to the surface of our planet by sitting, standing or walking barefoot on the earth. When we make direct contact with the earth we become infused with its healing energy. Our planet’s energy field restores our body’s natural electrical state, promoting optimum health.


Its natural, pulsating frequencies are waves of energy produced by the motion of subatomic particles called free electrons. By walking barefoot on the earth we are connecting to this brimming reservoir of energetic free electrons, which help to naturally protect our delicate bio-electrical circuitry against other electrical charges and interference. Each of us is a collection of dynamic electrical circuits, and the earth’s electrical energy maintains the order of our own bodily frequencies.

Trillions of our cells are constantly transmitting and receiving energy in the course of their programmed biochemical reactions. The movement of nutrients and water into cells is regulated by electrical fields, and each type of cell has a frequency range in which it operates. Your heart, brain, nervous system, muscles and immune system are prime examples of electrical subsystems operating within your “bioelectrical” body. The fact is, all of our movements, behaviors and actions are energized by electricity.

Since Earthing recharges your body by providing you with electrical “nutrition,” it is recommended to walk barefoot on the earth daily for at least half an hour.

Health benefits of Earthing:

  • Reduces inflammation
  • Reduces or eliminates chronic pain
  • Lowers stress
  • Improves sleep
  • Normalizes the body’s rhythms
  • Increases energy
  • Relieves muscle tension and headaches
  • Decreases hormonal imbalances
  • Helps with jetlag recovery

For even greater healing benefits, try sleeping on an Earthing sheet! For more information, visit earthinginstitute.net, earthing.com, or grounded.com.

Comments Off on Natural Beauty Tips – Ear Candling Therapy

Natural Beauty Tips – Ear Candling Therapy

Ear Candling Therapy

Ear candling is an ancient and natural health remedy used to clear the ear canal of debris. It is a non-invasive treatment with many benefits, including:

  • Clears wax and debris from the ear canal to allow for better hearing
  • Relieves pressure from behind the eardrum
  • Eases earache, headache and sinus pressure
  • Clears nerve endings
  • Stimulates and detoxifies the lymphatic system
  • Sharpens mental functions, vision and hearing
  • Offers a relaxing experience

How does it work?

A hollow, cone-shaped candle made of 100% unbleached cotton (muslin) fabric coated with purified beeswax is used in ear candling treatment. The tapered end of the cone is gently placed in the ear and the other end is lit with a match. The heat from the low-burning flame creates a vacuum effect, drawing out wax and toxins. To ensure safety, before placing the cone in the ear, I cut a hole in the center of a paper plate, cover it with aluminum foil, slip the cone through the hole and then place the cone in my ear. The plate collects any residue from the burning candle. I also keep a bowl of water by my side in case it’s needed as the candle burns down and I then use it to extinguish the candle when the treatment is complete. You’ll hear a crackling sound created by the suction which has a very relaxing and soothing effect. The cone should be removed from the ear when it melts to approximately 2 inches from the plate. Then repeat the process on the other ear.

Are there any contraindications to having an ear candling session?

  • If you have a hole in your eardrum
  • If you have tubes in your ears
  • If have difficulty breathing or a condition like emphysema

Recently, I was instructing my dad in doing a session on me as my brother watched with curiosity. My brother then told us that he had been to the doctor a few weeks ago to remove the wax in his ear, paid $200, and the doctor had hurt him! I told him that next time I’ll remove his wax for free except for the $8.00-$12.00 the candles cost, depending on the brand.

Ear candles can be purchased in a health food store or online. My favorite ones can be found at, naturalhealthyconcepts.com. Here’s to clean ears!
