9 Healthy Holiday Eating Strategies

Pie.  Cookies.  Chocolate.  Eggnog.  Champagne.

The holiday season is filled with good foods.  You eat and drink with your friends and loved ones to celebrate how much you care about them.

But we all know that too much of a good thing is no longer good.  Too many rich foods can lead to extra pounds, digestion upsets, mood swings and a generally “yucky” feeling.

It’s all about balance.

Good, healthy holiday eating can make the difference between an enjoyable holiday season and a miserable one.  The trick is to enjoy treats without overdoing them.  Make a healthy holiday eating strategy and plan to enjoy the holiday celebrations without feeling bad the next day.

The Key to Staying Healthy

If you live in a rainy area, the odds are pretty good that your automobile will develop some body damage over its lifetime.  Does this mean that you never wash your car because it’s going to rust out anyway?  Of course it doesn’t.  If you care about your car, it means that you’ll fight extra hard to protect your investment.

The reality is that most of the top killers today are lifestyle related, regardless of your family history.  Just because you inherit the genes doesn’t mean that you have to continue the lifestyle.

Cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes, autoimmune disorders…all of these conditions are greatly impacted by diet, lifestyle habits, depressed nervous systems, our home environments, etc.

Until we change our focus from the curing of disease to the propagation of health, history is destined to repeat itself.

Remember that the body has the capacity to heal easily, as long as there is the proper balance and flow of energy. The key to staying healthy is not to inject “cures” from the outside, but rather to get the innermost layer (the meridian system) in order first, and then to insulate it with layer upon layer of healthy, productive lifestyle habits.

What is health?

What does it mean to be healthy?  Health is a state of optimum physical functioning, spiritual enlightenment, social well-being, and mental aptitude.  True health is so much more than settling for mediocrity.  It’s not about living life just barely above the doldrums, or hoping against hope that you won’t get sick or that you’ll finally feel better.

Understand that your body was designed to be healthy and in balance.  This is your natural state.  If you are struggling with your health, you have most likely, throughout the course of living, allowed your body to get out of balance. Taking medicine to treat a symptom will never create balance within the body.  Acupuncture works with the body to return it to its natural state of balance so that it can heal from the inside out.  Don’t divert the smoke, put out the fire!

Ancient Medicine with a Modern Twist

Dear Patients,

Electro-Acupuncture Micro-Light
Non-Needle Electro-Acupuncture Micro-Light

Why I love using Micro-Current Color Light Electro-Acupuncture for my patients is that it combines the time tested theories and techniques of the ancient art of Acupuncture along with modern science and technology of electro-medicine.  It is ancient medicine with a modern twist.

I have a great opportunity for you to try the Micro-Current Electro-Acupuncture Therapy.   I am offering this service at a reduced fee during the week of August 27-31 as a Micro-Current Electro-Acupuncture Marathon.   The rate is usually $100 per session; or $75 per session if you have a 25% discount through your health insurance plan called Healthy Roads, Affinity, OptumHealth Allies, etc.

During this Marathon week the charge is only $30 per session!

(No insurance please, it is considered a non-covered benefit, and most insurance companies do not compensate for the time, knowledge, and cost). There is an additional cost of $15 for therapy pads if they are needed. The pads are good for up to 15-20 uses, and are not shared.

I am proud to be specializing in Micro-Current Electro-Acupuncture. It is used for Facial Rejuvenation, acceleration of wound and tissue healing, relief from acute and chronic pain, chronic illnesses, and soul healing. I am thrilled with the results, and I love the treatment techniques.

What is Micro-Current Electro-Acupuncture with color light?

It is a highly effective holistic treatment using gentle, often sub-sensory, electrical currents applied through acupuncture points. Microcurrents are delivered in the millionths of amps range as opposed to the high-intensity milliamp currents used in traditional electro-acupuncture, TENS units, and other electro-therapies. Microcurrents are more harmonious with the body’s innate bioelectric activity. This can be far more effective for long-term pain relief and support of homeostasis than milliampere electro therapies.

Results are even better when a unique combination of dual streams of microcurrent and specific colors of light are used together. Color light enhances cellular and organic functioning, ATP production and facilitation of various mind-body healing processes. Both light frequencies and electrical charges are transported throughout the body via protein molecule chains. These energies pass through the crystal-like structure of connective tissue, which is the substrate for the meridian system.

Efficacy of treatment results is boosted by selecting colors (wavelengths) of light.  Some therapeutic benefits are noted below:

Blue for insomnia, pain relief, inflammation, acne;

Purple for Anxiety, pain relief, inflammation, acne;

Green to tone, lift muscles;

Yellow for Anger, to drain lymph;

Violet to Calm, relax;

Red for depression, guilt, PTSD, scars, poor circulation, hypofunction;

Magenta to Boost adrenals/kidney function, balance emotions, infertility;

Orange to Decongest, build thyroid function, lessen guilt;

Red, bluegreen, others for Facial Rejuvenation.

How is it performed?

MicroCurrent Electro-Acupuncture
Electro-Acupuncture Stimulation

We use the Acutron Mentor which delivers a sub sensory micro-current with color light frequencies. In practice, it is actually very similar to traditional acupuncture. Using the exact same system of Chinese Medicine, I place the Q-tip probes onto specific points along the meridians of your body. The device then delivers gentle electrical pulses between two points. I also choose specific colors based on their therapeutic effects. This helps restore the healthy flow of Qi (energy) through your body, removing any blockages and clearing out stagnant areas, thus creating a stronger and clearer experience of health and well-being.

Diagnosis and Treatment is applied in sequential steps, with evaluation to see its effects, and achieve positive results within each session. This is in contrast to leaving needles in 20 minutes, and then waiting until the next visit to find out if it worked or not. This treatment plan embraces diagnosis of the causative factor in disease and meridian imbalance. Overall this allows for shorter treatment times with outstanding results.

How did I learn about this form of electro-medicine?

I first learned about the Acutron Mentor Device a few years ago quite by chance. I started getting emails about the Acutron for MicroLight Therapy, and Facial Rejuvenation. “Somehow, somewhere I must have signed up to receive this information?” At first I ignored them, and deleted the messages. Eventually, something piqued my interest causing me to read one then another one. Eventually I found myself checking out their web site, etc. I found about the seminars offered through their company, and I attended one. I went with the resoluteness that I was not going to purchase this machine. I was just going to learn about electrical stimulation with acupuncture to earn some continueing education credits. The founder and speaker, Darren Starwynn, was fabulous! The thing that sticks out foremost in my mind is that it was not a hard sell, and there was so much to glean from the seminar without ever purchasing the Acutron. However, we did learn how to use the Acutron with hands-on techniques. The results I was witnessing were amazing. It got me thinking that with the Acutron, I could reach more people that won’t try Acupuncture because they are needle phobic.

Plus, the results for Facial Rejuvenation using Micro-Current with Color Light far outweigh those using Acupuncture needles alone. I could see it for myself.

I had to have it!!

Why did I decide to specialize in Micro-Current Color Electro-Acupuncture?

I have been using it with awesome results for the Facial Rejuvenation.

Recently, I have been using it more and more for other health conditions. I have noticed that it excels at relief from acute and chronic pain; emotional and Soul Healing for complaints such as anxiety, depression, stress, inappropriate or excessive emotions of anger, grief, sadness, mania, fear, apathy, obscession, worry and over-thinking, etc.

Translation- it can help you:

  1. Feel more calm and relaxed and “easy going”.
  2. Feel more energized as a mood “pick me up” if you are sad, gloomy, or lack motivation.
  3. Feel down to earth and more centered when you are feeling like you are going in many directions, with a scattered mind, easily distracted or unfocused mind.
  4. Stimulate your brain power for mental clarity, focus, concentration.
  5. Bring on the sandman for a more restful sleep.

  6. Improve your confidence and emotional strength to perform a difficult task

  7. Promote smooth sailing to settle a nervous stomach, and digestive GI support for bloating, gas, diarrhea, constipation, irritible bowel, etc.
  8. Help you with, “Letting Go”, for recovery from the loss of a loved one, loneliness, disappointment, loss of a dream, grief, and sadness.
  9. When you haven’t got time for the pain: bursitis, tendinitis, arthritis, gout, rotator cuff injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, sprains and strains, lumbar pain, sciatica, neck pain, whip lash, TMJ, shoulder pain, frozen shoulder, hip pain, foot pain, ankle pain, knee pain, cancer pain, nausea, migraines, headaches, PMS, menopausal complaints, and rehabilitation after surgery or injury. This list can go on and on.

My patients that have experienced the effects of Micro-Current Electro-Acupuncture report that it gives more comprehensive and longer lasting results.

I am so excited about this therapy that I would like to have most of my patients using it. This is definitely on the cutting edge! It would behoove me not to utilize this therapy that I have at my disposal for the benefit of as many people as possible.

 

Remember, it is only $30 per treatment during the week of August 27-31. What would you be willing to do or how much would you be willing to pay if this therapeutic modality helps you to feel better, and happier?

 

Sincereley,

 

Michele M. Arnold, L.Ac.
