Foods for the Winter Season

Everybody knows that food is what gives our bodies the energy we need to survive. But not everybody is aware that certain foods should be consumed during specific times of the year. In areas like the Midwest, where fruits and vegetables are harder to keep on hand when the weather becomes colder, this principle is followed a little more closely. But in areas like Hawaii and Southern California, where fresh fruits and vegetables are always available and the climate is more moderate, people sometimes forget to eat according to the seasons. continue reading »

Nutrition for Heart Health OM Nutrition & Hypertension

Oriental medicine (OM) nutrition combines ancient wisdom with modern science. OM nutrition is a holistic approach, which aims to balance all five flavors within most meals with one or two flavors being emphasized for therapeutic purposes. OM nutrition for a hypertension emphasizes bitter flavors, sour flavors and energetically-cooling foods.

OM theory states the bitter flavor benefits the heart in moderation but an excess is harmful as it has a drying effect; for example, coffee is bitter. In moderation coffee acts as vasodilator increasing circulation but in excess it can raise blood pressure and has a diuretic effect. Modern scientific research has discovered while the human genome has 25 bitter taste receptors 12 of these are expressed in the human heart. continue reading »

The Smoothie Lifestyle

For those who struggle with dietary restrictions, such as food allergies or medical conditions, it can be stressful to prep a healthy breakfast during busy mornings. Luckily a patient of Acuharmony, Kelli Halligan, has created a solution to help ease meal preparation for this select group of people. Her solution was to create a smoothie company called Simply Sblended Smoothies (http://www.simplysblendedsmoothies.com/) that delivers 7 days of fresh, prepped, and individually portioned smoothie ingredients to your door. Customers will have the ability to work with a nutritionist to create an order of 7 smoothie kits (1 kit for each day of the week) that can fit whatever dietary restrictions and lifestyle goals they want. And above all else the kits are super simple to use! All someone has to do is open a kit, put the fresh and prepped ingredients into the blender, and enjoy!

Kelli first reached out to Acuharmony about six years ago because she was suffering with allergies and has since seen so many benefits from acupuncture and created a much healthier lifestyle for herself! Her goal now is to help people that suffer from inconveniences related to their dietary restrictions feel as great and stress-free as she now does! So join the smoothie lifestyle and check out http://www.simplysblendedsmoothies.com/.

Ways to Keep Your Memory Sharp

Don’t forget about physical exercise

Believe it or not, when you’re exercising your body, you’re exercising your mind as well. Aerobic exercise gets your blood pumping, which increases the oxygen going to your brain and lowers your risk of disorders such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease that can lead to memory loss. If you can, start with some exercise in the morning. This can clear your head right off the bat to stay focused and alert during the day. Exercises that require coordination are especially helpful for keeping the mind active such as simply throwing a ball back and forth. continue reading »

They say you meet people when you need them most. That was the case on the day I met Sung. After enduring years of emotional abuse, I had all but given up on myself. My health had suffered yet I couldn’t connect the dots. Sung literally changed my life giving me hope in my darkest days. His herbal supplement helped reduce my depression and acupuncture is releasing the fear from within. Each day I feel stronger emotionally, physically and spiritually.
