Healthy Tips from April - Acupuncturist

$15.00 off each visit for EI readers. By: April Shewan As an acupuncturist people often ask me for tips on how to stay healthy. The answer is as simple as resting more, eating better and reducing stress. For moms this is far easier said than done. Try these tips: 1) Eat healthy. Try making large batches of soup and freezing individual portions for quick thawing. 2) Listen to calm music while running errands. This will help your brain stop all of its “chatter” so the mind is quieted. 3) Take time for yourself. I know it’s a cliché but it works. (See tip #2) 4) Practice deep breathing. Even if you do this while making dinner it still has positive benefits. 5) Get acupuncture treatments at least once every 4-6 weeks. This has been shown to boost the immune system and leaves you calm and refreshed.
