Light to Moderate Exercise IS Good for you!
It's official, we can all rest assured that light to moderate exercise is actually good for our health because there has been a study proving this!
The Journal of Epidemiology has determined that just half an hour of walking, cycling, swimming, or any constant activity 5 days a week can reduce the risk of death by 19%. Increasing it to 7 hours a week reduces the incidence of sedentary lifestyle related deaths by 24%. It doesn't have to be intense, just constant.
If you are not sure how to enjoy walking in our beautiful city, try listening to an audio book. You can purchase books on pretty much any topic online, or even download audio books from the Victoria public library for free.
If you are technically inclined you can also entertain yourself with podcasts from itunes which are also free.
So find an activity, drag a friend along and get moving!

Summer Sunshine!
Ah yes, the summer is upon in beautiful Victoria! It has been the warmest I’ve seen here for quite some time. Today’s entry is a quick reminder to wear your sunglasses outside and while driving.
They are more than just a fashion statement, and a way to hide the fact that you are watching people! They protect your eyes from UV damage from the sun.
Studies show that unprotected exposure to the sun can lead to cataracts; which is a clouding that develops in the crystalline lens of the eye. This can lead to obscuring, then loss of vision. Think about cooking an egg white.
So grab some stylish aviators, some speedster Oakleys, or some dollar store specials and enjoy the sun!

Top 10 ways to stay healthy and reverse the signs of aging
10. Stop smoking- smoking is one of the most toxic things we can do to our body; the sooner you quit the better
9. Eat right for your body type- metabolic typing; if you don’t know your type find out and live accordingly
8. Exercise daily- aerobic, and anaerobic we need them both
7. Spend time outside in nature- fresh air and sunshine, so pure and simple!

6. Buy most of your groceries from the perimeter of the grocery store- local grown produce and fresh meat
5. Get into your healthy BMI (body mass index) - for most people that means losing weight or getting taller!
4. Use meditation and relaxation- qi gong, tai chi, EFT, guided meditation; they’ve been around for thousands of years for a reason!
3. Get acupuncture, herbal medicine and/or other balancing therapies- time tested and proven to do the mind body and spirit good
2. Seek fine tuning of a professional- we can learn a lot from the internet but there are specialists who devote their life to health, and they can help you.
1. Think healthy thoughts! - The body follows the mind. Whether you think you are healthy or not… you’re right!

Wrinkle, wrinkle little star!
It’s a fact of nature; with time wine tastes better, fruit ripens, old grudges fade, and we get wrinkles! Well, what is a wrinkle?
Ever poke your finger in to a ball of dough? That elastic, springy feeling you feel is the gluten keeping the dough flexible and supple. Our skin also has the equivalent proteins that maintains the plumpness of our skin called collagen until one day, around peri-menopausal age those proteins start to diminish and the skin starts sagging and wrinkling.
What can be done? There is no shortage of creams, lotions, and anti-aging products on the market. But rebuilding collagen starts from the inside, not the outside. I encourage a facial exercise routine to maintain muscle tone and blood circulation to the face.
But if you really want to revitalize and rejuvenate your skin naturally cosmetic acupuncture is one of your best options. With the insertion of the tiny needles your body produces collagen from the inside that fills fine lines and wrinkles.
I spoke with a researcher who was working with a dermatologist in California to determine how exactly acupuncture produces collagen in the skin. While I’ll leave the details of ‘how and why’ to the laboratory experts I will continue to observe the amazing results cosmetic acupuncture produces first hand.
Remember that when you feel great, you look great!

I should probably just take it easy?
Research has shown that if you want to get the most life out of a machine you must 1) keep it moving, 2)move it regularily, and 3)use it gently.
For example your car; if you want it to last longer than the manufacturers warranty then you must follow those three rules and you'll have pretty good results. This is true for our bodies as well... except for rule number 3.
A long term study on the wear and tear that the human body can endure has shown that we posess the unique ability to get stronger, more flexible, and more adaptive with more intense stimulation. What does this mean? Unlike machines that will break down faster if you push them too hard our bodies actually change nuerological pathways, shift metabolism, and adjust blood circulation to become more efficient to handle the load.
In our days of relaxation, meditation, and "just take it easy" showing up in every health plan we can't forget that our bodies are designed to move. While relaxtion is very important it comes secondary to our natural state of movement. So run up a flight of stairs, bolt around the block, chase your dog around the yard, or power walk to work because our bodies are meant to move!
