Inside The Polished Apple

Thanks for Marguerette  Kennedy, Registered Acupuncturist at Elan Family Wellness Centre in Bowness, for this share for the New Year.  Hello Everyone, I hope that you had a very nice Christmas. Now let’s look at how YOU are going to going to look after YOUR health in 2019. Acupuncture can be the Fresh Start you need to maintain your health. Getting Acupuncture on a regular schedule can stop imbalances within your body, before they create problems in your overall health. Acupuncture works by balancing energy in the body, and correcting imbalances before they grow into a pattern of disease. Acupuncture treats health at all levels – physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Each session is tailored to the individual for preventative health maintenance and treatments should be once or twice monthly. Do come visit with me to discuss your 2019 Fresh Start for YOUR health. ~ Marguerette

So far, Walking the Camino is the most intriguing, but also possibly not in the budget for time or money, so perhaps something local? I would love to be on the water-rowing or canoeing are options. I know I'm not a runner, so no marathons or 1/2 marathons, I like the gym and weights, but I don't expect I'm into body building. I would love to hear your ideas of health projects you have taken...

Elan's theme for January is Fresh!  Here's are some thoughts from Scott on this subject.   As we begin our journey through 2014, we start a new year with the theme of Fresh. Like opening a new book for the first time, this year will unfold in many ways, and with luck and planning, unlike the roller coaster of 2013. Today I want to talk about Fresh in a way that I keep coming back to in my mind. But first, let me paint a picture. It's Rome, 2010 in the fall. The weather is calm and muggy at a comfortable 24C. We wake from a dead sleep into our first jet laggy day in Italy and set off to find food. We are staying in an apartment with a full kitchen but no food other than a bottle of red wine. We are in the old section of Rome. The heart of Rome. Where Rome began. Narrow streets, plazas and courtyards. Cafes and Gelato shops every 15ft. We have been told that a local market is on until 1pm every day in the plaza just around the corner. Local butchers, farmer's markets, b...
