Acupuncture Treatment

Acupuncture is used in many areas in the World as a non-standard medicine for helping to treat a multiplicity of health questions related to the overall body and mental conditions. It all evolved many years ago in China and was used to treat many ailments by using stone knives and there were no trigger points to follow. Nowadays, it is used by inserting needles into certain areas of the body called trigger points. An acupuncture treatment could take up to several weeks or even months to work.

It is thanks to this Chinese treatment that acupuncturists can release chi, the source of energy in the body, and through the needles placed at pre-determined trigger points they can fight against the conflicting forces of yin and yang. Hence chi can flow easily through the passageways of the body which are also named meridians. As long as the chi flows easily, the body stays healthy; the problem becomes prevalent when there are some obstructions along these passage ways or meridians and that's when the body can’t cope well.

A lot of us have heard about fasting and know what it means, but very few have personal experience of it and the health benefits it can promote.

We are not advising you to do a fast - that is up to you . We are just giving you information taken from other people’s experiences on this topic to stimulate you to have an open mind about this and make your own decisions based on facts.

A lot of us have heard stories of fasting in religious or spiritual form. People in ancient times fasted to clear their mind and search for inspiration and more understanding on important life issues and many people who do fast report feeling more in touch with God and further removed from the physical World However, one should be well-versed and have a strong sense of purpose --- control of your mind is half the battle.

Omega-3's in Capsule Form

Adding fats in your diet is essential if you want to enjoy a healthy lifestyle that makes you good feeling and looking superb, but it should be the right kind of fats. Essential fatty acids are within this category and are a necessary addition to everybody’s diet.

Omega-3 essential fatty acids are made up of two components: DHA (which stands for docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid).

The best source of DHA and EPA are fish, especially salmon, seaweed, shellfish and algae. Also, you can get omega-3's from unrefined whole grains, dark & leafy greens and various nuts and seeds like walnuts, flaxseeds and pumpkin seeds.

This second type contains ALA (alpha linolenic acid) which your body then transforms to EPA and DHA.
