With the holidays rapidly approaching, lots of my patients have reported spending very long hours at their desk, trying to finish everything in time for Christmas. It can be a stressful time and very hard on the body when there are work deadlines to meet as well as all the social obligations that come with this time of year. I thought it was a good time to write about some easy and quick stretches you can do at your desk to refresh and revive your body and mind - and these can be used year-round, so keep this bookmarked as a daily self-care reminder!

An ideal Summer diet according to TCM is light and filled with fresh foods with high water content, and brightly coloured summer fruits and vegetables. There are certain foods, flavours, cookings styles and ways of eating that will help your body feel wonderful this season. Read on for more.  Summer is finally here! Here are some healthy eating tips to help you make the most of the season.
Since the weather is wonderfully warm, Chinese medicine says you need light, cooling foods to help keep you balanced. Juicy peaches, sweet watermelons, tomatoes hot off the vine…The right foods are easy to find. One trip through your garden or a walk through a farmer’s market and you’ll have the perfect summer meal. But unfortunately, they don't tend to be the foods that we crave when we've been working and playing hard. Often, craving calories in the form of a burger, BBQ, or ice cream, beats craving fresh food like cucumber and salad. And afterward you probably feel full, bloated and hot. Fortunately there is a solution. It is possible to eat well, have energy and avoid feeling bloated. The trick is in the timing. With an easy tweak to your natural summer diet, you’ll feel fantastic. Read on to learn how. |
