Health & Wellness Events

Are you worried about the upcoming holiday season and preventing extra holiday weight gain? The holidays are full of delicious feasts, turkey dinners, and tantalizing sweets left and right. Add on top of that the inherent sense of laziness. Holidays are generally a time to relax, eat too much, and relax some more. Between pies and cross-country travel, it can be pretty tough to stay active during the holiday season. Not to mention you have to contend with cooler weather! With family obligations, work parties and last-minute shopping trips staying active can be a challenge. Join us to learn more about staying active over the holiday season.

December’s Healthy Life Lesson:

Traditional Chinese medicine is one of the oldest continuous systems of medicine in history, with recorded instances dating as far back as two thousand years before the birth of Christ. This is in sharp contrast to the American or Western forms of health care, which have been in existence for a much shorter time span. The primary feature of modern Chinese medicine is the premise that good health relies on the restoration and maintenance of harmony, balance and order to the individual. Traditional Chinese medicine takes a holistic approach to understanding normal function and disease processes and focuses as much on the prevention of illness as it does on the treatment. In the United States, people use traditional Chinese medicine primarily as a complementary health approach.
