H

ipsters, millionaire collectors and celebrities all flocked to Miami’s artsy Midtown, Wynwood and South Beach for the 13th annual Art Basel Miami Beach and Miami Art Week events. Not all the allure was for the love of art, many flew in for those lavish and decadent parties at some of the trendiest Miami venues that make it the star-studded affair of the year. A bit of “death of art” but not for the many like me who are always awestruck by the fabulous works of renowned artists.

This time, in addition to a week-long schedule of art shows and pop up shops and glitzy parties there was even a musical performance by Miley Cyrus at South Beach’s Raleigh Hotel and a slew of spotted celebs in town.

A new Survey sector brought 13 art-historical projects to the fair, including many rare works never before exhibited in an art fair. Featuring 267 leading

Editor’s Pick at Art Basel:

international galleries from 31 countries, the show – whose Lead Partner is UBS – had an attendance of 73,000 during it exhibit. Attendees included representatives of over 160 museum and institution groups from across the world with a surging number of new private collectors from the Americas, Europe and Asia.

Top Exhibits: Mana Miami: Impressive show of giant-sized artworks in the colossal former warehouse in the heart of Wynwood (which they own). ▪ Shen Wei performance: 12 dancers swirled slowly through the Freedom Tower exhibit with an amazing performance.▪ Galerie Gmurzynska, Art Basel Miami Beach: The booth brought together 20th century masterworks by Joan Miro, Kazimir Malevich, Wifredo Lam, Cy Twombly, Francis Bacon and others in addition to a specially made film that incorporated an original video of the Ballet Russes de Monte Carlo in which a Miro painting is used in the actual set. ▪

“Les Dormeur”, by Pablo Picasso “A Caballo frente al Espejo, (Piggy Back)” Juan Muñoz

Ephemera: Was commissioned by Perrier-Jouët, and featured a tabletop ‘garden’ that folded flat when people approached and rose as they move away.

▪ Nick Cave’s Hustle Coat: Artist Nick Cave is best known for his fabric sculptures known as Soundsuits.

His latest work: “hustle coats,” a trench coat lined with jewels, sold for $60,000 within the first minutes of the VIP opening of Art Basel Miami. ▪ Strandbeest: Dutch artist Theo Jansen’s dinosaur-sized mechanical sculptures placed behind Miami Beach’s W Hotel on the beach.

▪ Art Public: Outdoor and interactive sculptures open to the public, with artworks from some of the best sculptors the world over placed around the Collins Park between the ocean and the Bass Museum.

▪ Rubell Family Collection: Don and Mera Rubell have installed new art on the first floor of their Wynwood warehouse museum.

Rotary Club of Hallandale Beach – Aventura Honors Former Club President, State Representative Joe Gibbons with its First Community Service Award

The Rotary Club of Hallandale Beach – Aventura awarded Hon. Joseph “Joe” Gibbons, former District 100 State Representative, with its inaugural Community Service Award.

Gibbons, who was the 2005 Hallandale – Aventura Club Rotarian of the Year and the club’s president from 2006 to 2007, received the club’s very first award dedicated to a member who has worked tirelessly to create a positive change in their community.

“Being The Rotary Club of Hallandale Beach – Aventura’s very first Community Service Award recipient is a humbling honor,” Gibbons said. “Since moving to Florida and making the Hallandale Beach area my home, implementing ways to best serve the people of this community, whether it be through policy or other impactful means, has been my foremost priority. I have wanted nothing else than for this community to continue to progress into one of the greatest, safest, and most prosperous cities in the state and the nation.”

During his eight years representing District 100 in the Florida State House of Representatives, Gibbons served in several leadership roles. He is currently chairman of the Energy Equity Alliance (EEA), a recently launched nonprofit organization dedicated to ensuring working class families, fixed-income households, and communities of color are adequately represented and participating in energy policy discussions that affect them.

Gibbons, a former City of Hallandale Beach Commissioner, served as a board member for the Hallandale Beach Neighborhood Improvement Corporation, the Area-wide Council on Aging, and the African American Success Foundation. Additionally, he was a member of the Broward County Planning Council and he is a member of the Holocaust Documentation and Education Center Board of Directors.

contraindicaciones...

Javier Wilensky & Alexander Cohen Maestros de Yoga/ Yoga Instructors at Omechaye Wellness & Fitness Center

10 reasons to do Yoga in 2015 By: Alexander Cohen, E-RYT Co-founder of Omechaye The ancient Art of Yoga with its physical, spiritual and meditative practices has great benefits for our wellbeing. This holistic healing art helps us establish a balance which goes beyond the physical body and into the mind and spirit-a balance which is truly internal. This balance within promotes an opening of the heart with positive effects not only on our physical health, but on our relationship with ourselves and the rest of the world. We could all use a little more healing, a little more positivity in our relationships and a little more peace in our being.

Here’s how yoga can help you get there in 2015: YOGA: 1-Reduces stress levels, helping you to find an everyday calm which will affect every part of your life.

2-Tones the muscles in the body and elevates the vital energy, giving you more stamina.

3-Relieves anxiety and depression, and helps to clear out stuck feelings and thought patterns.

4-Promotes flexibility and balance, on and off the mat.

5-Oxygenates and cleans the organs, promoting cardiovascular health and good digestion.

6-Stimulates the endocrine system, strengthening your immunity.

7-Strengthens the respiratory system, so you can breathe deeper.

8-Regulates your biorhythms, so you can sleep better.

9-Helps you find and maintain your healthy weight.

10-Enhances clarity, promoting good concentration and better communication....and all these benefits are available to every single person, no matter their past, no matter their body type, no matter their abilities or limitations.

In the United States alone there are more than 20 million people who practice some form of yoga. So that leaves us with only one question -- what are you waiting for?

Marvel at the breathtaking spectacle of animals brought to life by a cast of more than 40 actors. Thrill to the pulsating rhythms of the African Pridelands and Elton John and Tim Rice’s Oscar winning song “Can You Feel The Love Tonight” and “Circle of Life.”

The downtown water tower could be transformed into a 150-foot-tall interactive public art project.

Commissioners voted for the project “Tower Lights: An Interactive Experience”, which will cost appx. $655,000.

The proposal uses reflective paint and the public would be allowed to pick the colors they want to see at any given time through a phone app or online access.

If you’re coming south on Andrews Ave., the tower can be seen from Commercial Boulevard.

Step #1

Elimine Los Vampiros chupa energía RODÉATE DE GENTE POSITIVA: un secreto para el éxito y la salud Por: Nancy Esteves ¿Por qué es tan importante rodearte de gente positiva?

Muchas personas piensan que la gente negativa no nos afecta, pero lamento decirles que están equivocados, ya que una persona negativa es una especie de vampiro que nos chupa toda nuestra energía.

Las personas negativas no son necesariamente malas personas, pero tienen una manera de pensar que no nos ayuda para nada, más bien nos hacen daño. La salud física empieza con buena salud mental y una actitud positiva.

Lo más triste es que puedan ser tus amigos, tus padres, tus hermanos, tus hijos, quizás hasta tu pareja quien sea la primera persona de quien oigas decir, “No puedes. No puedes hacer esto, no va pasar lo otro…”, ten mucho cuidado.

Estas personas jamás esperarían ver un cambio de tu parte ya que ellos no creen ni en sí mismos. Por lo tanto empieza buscando personas que puedan contribuir a tu crecimiento personal, rodéate de personas cuya visión de la vida sea positiva, busca gente que te aliente, hazlo siempre en pro de perseguir tu objetivo. ¿Cómo funciona nuestra mente?

Tu mentalidad, está moldeada por influencias externas, por la gente con la que eliges asociarte. Si tienes a una gran cantidad de gente diciéndote que nunca tendrás éxito

con tus metas, la vas a pasar muy mal. Incluso si has desarrollado una buena fuerza mental, una sombra de duda puede nublar tu mente y liberar todo tipo de pensamientos negativos que te traigan fracasos. ¿Qué hacemos con nuestros seres queridos y amistades sin son negativos?

Hay que decirles a las personas negativas claramente: “lo siento, no quiero oír eso.” Ponles reglas de las cosas sobre las que no quieres hablar, ¡y a otras que hay que evitar completamente! Es tu salud que está en juego. ¿Los Vampiros: Te suena familiar?

Las personas negativas son las que: Nunca aportan una solución, sólo problemas. Ellas sólo opinan cuando tienen que decir algo malo, nunca nada bueno. Ellos no escuchan sólo hablan, critican con cizaña a las personas que tienen éxito sin ningún motivo, te frustran repetidamente con sus problemas, quieren echarle la culpa a todos menos a ellos mismos, están siempre miserables, nunca tienen nada bueno que decir, te agotan mentalmente.

Cuando escojas amistades nuevas, por favor que sean positivos. Ya que juntos estarán más motivados para alcanzar cualquiera de tus metas y mucho más rápido. ¡Todos conocemos algún vampiro chupa energía por seguro!

Eliminate the Energy Vampires

Surround yourself with positive people: a secret to the success and health By: Nancy Esteves Why is it so important to surround yourself with positive people?

Many people don’t realize or believe that negative people can really affect our health, but yes they can! A negative person is a kind of vampire that sucks all our energy and they can be toxic.

Negative people are not necessarily bad people, but they have a way of thinking that does not help us at all, they actually hurt us. Our physical health starts with good mental health and a positive frame of mind.

The saddest thing is that they can be your friends, your parents, your brothers, your children, perhaps even your partner, whoever it may be when you start hearing “You can’t do this. You can’t do that, this will never happen…” --watch out.

These people never expect to see a change on your part because they don’t believe in themselves. So start looking for people who can contribute to your personal growth and health. Surround yourself with people whose outlook on life is positive, look for people who will encourage you, so you can purse your goals whatever they may be.

How does our mind work?

Your mentality is shaped by external influences, many times from the people you choose to associate with. If you have a lot of people telling you that you will never have success with your life goals, it may push you to fail. Even if you’ve developed a good mental strength, a shadow of doubt can cloud your mind and release all kinds of negative thoughts that bring failure.

What should we do with our loved ones and friends if they are negative?

You need to call them on it: “I’m sorry; I do not want to hear that.” Set limits on the things you do not want to talk about, and others things to be completely avoided.

The Vampires: Sound familiar?

Negative people are those who: Never bring a solution, only problems. They speak only when they have to say something bad, never anything good. They do not listen, just talk and sarcastically criticize people who are successful without any reason, they repeatedly frustrate you with their problems, they want to blame everyone but themselves, are always miserable, never have anything nice to say, and deplete you mentally.

They are a health hazard!

When choosing new friends, positive one may make all the difference in the world. As together you will be more motivated to achieve any of your goals much faster.

I’m sure we all have some vampires in our lives right now, so it’s time for a change!

Paso #2

Para la Buena Salud Cambia tu forma de pensar y SANATE

Step #2

To Good Health Change the way you think and Heal

“Cuando cambies la forma de ver las cosas, entonces la forma que veas cambiaran también” una frase muy cierta que aplicada nos podría traer grandes beneficios.

La filosofa y autora reconocida Louise Hay dice en sus escritos que “el Cáncer es una manifestación externa por un profundo resentimiento, rabia y dolor que anida durante un largo tiempo en el interior de las personas somatizándose en el organismo, hasta que literalmente devora el cuerpo”. ¿Entonces podemos decir que somos en parte responsables de dejar que esta enfermedad nos pueda atacar?

Todos creamos nuestras experiencias a través de los pensamientos y sentimientos, pero negamos nuestro poder culpando a otros de nuestras frustraciones.

De acuerdo a Hay, el arma que tenemos para contrarrestar el cáncer o cualquier tipo de enfermedad es cambiando nuestra actitud frente a ellas. Debemos cambiar radicalmente nuestra forma de pensar realizando trabajos diarios como afirmaciones, visualizaciones, cambio de alimentación y psicoterapia, muchas personas que han ganado la batalla simplemente decidieron abandonar el resentimiento y perdonaron cualquier acontecimiento de dolor y a las personas involucradas consiguiendo así curar el cuerpo enfermo.

Hay que crear el hábito de hacer afirmaciones diarias, sonreír, agradecer, perdonar y sobre todo aferrarte a tu fe que puedes cambiar tu vida y mejorar tu salud.

Ejemplos de Afirmaciones: “Yo Soy la Salud Perfecta” “Soy sano, lleno de energía y de vitalidad” “Todas las células de mi cuerpo son irradiadas diariamente en la perfección sanadora de mi ser divino”

Paso #3

Food for Thought: “Change the way you think and change your life.”

Philosopher and author Louise Hay says in her writings that “cancer is an outward manifestation of a deep resentment, anger and pain for a long time nested within a person’s body until it literally devours it.” So could it be that we are partly responsible for letting this disease or any for that matter attack us?

We all create our experiences through thoughts and feelings, but we deny our power blaming others for our frustrations.

According to Hay, the secret weapon we have to counteract cancer or any type of disease is changing our attitude towards them. We must radically change our way of thinking performing daily tasks with affirmations, visualizations, change in diet and psychotherapy. Many people have won the battle simply by deciding to abandon resentment.

Hence, attitude does matter. You should make it a habit to use daily affirmations, smile, be thankful, forgive, and especially have faith you can change your life and improve your health.

Examples of affirmations: “I’m in Perfect Health” “I’m healthy, full of energy and vitality” “Every cell in my body is irradiated daily in the healing perfection of my divine being”

Step #3

Para una Buena Salud- Eliminar Toxinas y “Comer Sano”

For the Good Health- Eliminate Toxins and “Eat Clean”

Limpiar el sistema es sumamente importante y una manera perfecta para comenzar el año saludablemente. Aquí les brindamos una guía de alimentos naturales que ayudan a eliminar las toxinas del cuerpo.

Verduras de hojas verdes Es científico, la clorofila que contienen estas verduras ayudan a eliminar toxinas (como metales y pesticidas) del cuerpo.

Estos alimentos ayudan a que el hígado cumpla con su función desintoxicadora.

Limones Son ideales para estar hidratado. La vitamina C convierte las toxinas en agua... muy fácil de eliminar.

Berro Con ese saborcito amargo, el primo hermano de la col y los repollitos de Bruselas contiene un alto porcentaje de agua, lo que lo vuelve depurativo.

También tiene magnesio, que favorece la eliminación de líquidos.

El Ajo El querido ajo se puede incorporar a todo y, además de proteger al corazón, activa las enzimas del hígado, y logra que éste funcione muy bien cumpliendo una de sus principales tareas, que es eliminar las toxinas de la sangre.

También el jengibre, la canela, el perejil y la albahaca son muy buenos.

Brócoli El brócoli contiene en un solo bocado, 20 veces más sustancias protectoras del cáncer y estimulantes de las enzimas

Flushing out your system is extremely important and a way to get off to a “clean start” to kick off the New Year. Below is a quick guide to natural foods that help remove toxins from the body.

Leafy greens The chlorophyll contained in these vegetables help remove toxins (such as metals and

que cualquier otro vegetal. Los cabitos poseen sustancias que atacan al H. Pylori, una bacteria que causa irritación estomacal.

Estas semillas protegen a las células del hígado del daño que le pueden causar el alcohol y otros productos que contengan químicos.

El Repollo Hay dos potentes enzimas desintoxicantes en el hígado, y el repollo o col tiene la capacidad de activar ambas.

La ensalada de repollo es un plato típico de la dieta estadounidense... y ahora sabemos que había una buena razón.

El “Plantago Psyllium” es una hierba que se utiliza como laxante y que posee fibras solubles que eliminan las toxinas. Tiene un efecto “limpiador” que va desde el hígado hasta el colon.

Frutas, frutas y frutas Vitamina C, fibra, agua con nutrientes, antioxidantes y desintoxicantes, casi todas las frutas completarán de manera perfecta pero la piña y los berries son muy buenos.

pesticides) from the body. These foods help the liver do its detoxification function.

Lime They are ideal to stay hydrated.

Vitamin C converts toxins in water making it easy to flush out.

Watercress With that bitter taste, the cousin of cabbage and Brussels sprouts contains a high percentage of water, which makes it a purifier. It also has magnesium, which helps eliminate fluids.

Garlic Garlic can be incorporated into everything and also protects the heart; it also activates liver enzymes that help remove toxins from the blood. Ginger, cinnamon, parsley and basil are also detoxifying.

Broccoli In a single bite, broccoli contains 20 times more cancer-protecting substances and enzyme stimulants than any other vegetable. The stems have substances that attack the H. pylori, a bacteria that causes stomach irritation.

These seeds protect liver cells from damage caused by alcohol and other products containing chemicals.

Cabbage There are two potent detoxifying enzymes in the liver and cabbage has the ability to activate both. The “Plantago Psyllium” is an herb that is used as a laxative and possesses soluble fibers that remove toxins.

It has a “cleanser” effect that goes from the liver to the colon.

Fruits They posses vitamin C, fiber, water and nutrients, antioxidants and are detoxifying, almost all fruits are good but the pineapple and berries are especially beneficial for detox.

Paso #4

Para la Buena Salud- ¡Ejercicio!

Ejercicio: Poliza de Seguro de Salud

¡Más de 1/3 de los adultos en los EEUU son obesos!

Condiciones relacionadas con la obesidad incluyen enfermedades del corazón, derrames cerebrales, diabetes tipo 2 y ciertos tipos de cáncer-- algunas de las principales causas de muertes que pueden ser evitables.

Aunque mucha gente realiza los grandes beneficios, el ejercicio es una de las mejores pólizas de seguro contra muchas enfermedades.

Mucha gente practica ejercicio para prevenir enfermedades cardíacas, pero muy pocas saben el papel que desempeña el ejercicio en la prevención del cáncer. La mayoría de los cánceres son causados por el medio ambiente y la forma de vida, no por los genes.

El ejercicio también desempeña un papel importante en la prevención del cáncer de colon.

Estudios demuestran que las personas que practican ejercicio corren el cincuenta por ciento menos riesgo de desarrollar cáncer de colon en comparación con las personas sedentarias.

El ejercicio aumenta la frecuencia de los movimientos del intestino y esto ayuda a eliminar las toxinas y los agentes cancerígenos, los cuales son factores que causan cáncer. La disminución de la grasa corporal, la insulina y otros factores de riesgo también contribuyen a disminuir la posibilidad de desarrollar cáncer de colon.

Cardio en Ayuno Para alcanzar el mayor beneficio en tu rutina de ejercicios y quemar la mayor cantidad de grasa, muchos expertos recomiendan hacer cardio por la mañana en ayuno.

Para estar en óptima forma, el secreto es no consumir ningún tipo de calorías, especialmente bebidas con azúcar en la mañana.

No desgastas masa muscular si haces el cardio en ayuno correctamente. No esperes más de 15 min desde el momento que despiertas, no lo hagas a intensidad elevada, que puedas mantener una conversación, que dure 40 min, no más.

Justo al terminar el cardio en ayuno, desayuna proteína y un carbo complejo de bajo índice glicémico.

Lo que nunca debes hacer es entrenar con pesas en ayuno, para entrenar debes comer proteína y carbohidratos antes.

Lo que ocurre cuando comes antes de hacer cardio, es que mucha de la grasa que vas a quemar es la misma que te acabas de comer.

Al saltarte esta comida, tu cuerpo tendrá que obtener la energía de algún otro lugar y la grasa de tu cuerpo es lo que va a ser utilizado como el combustible.

Ventajas -El cardio realizado en la mañana puede incrementar la cantidad de ácidos grasos libres (FFA) que se usarán como combustible.

-El cardio en ayuna puede llevar a una movilización de los ácidos grasos y elevar la sensibilidad de la insulina. ¿Cuánto Cardio?

El American College of Sports Medicine tiene dos recomendaciones básicas para el ejercicio de cardio. La primera sugiere 30 minutos de cardio moderado cinco veces por semana, y el segundo recomienda 20 minutos de cardio intenso tres veces por semana. Las personas que están tratando de perder peso y elevar sus niveles de acondicionamiento físico tendrán que superar las directrices básicas y alargar la duración de cada sesión de ejercicios.

Step #4

To Good Health-Exercise

Your Health Insurance Policy More than 1/3 of adults in the U.S. are obese!

Obesity-related conditions include heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and certain types of cancer-- some of these leading causes of deaths can actually be prevented.

Although many people don’t realize all the benefits, exercise may be your best health insurance policy.

Many people exercise to prevent heart disease, but few know the role of exercise in the prevention of cancer.

Most cancers are caused by environmental and lifestyle, not genes.

Exercise also plays an important role in the prevention of colon cancer.

Studies show that people who exercise have fifty percent lower risk of developing colon cancer compared with sedentary people.

Exercise increases the frequency of bowel movements and this helps to eliminate toxins and carcinogens, which are cancer-causing factors. The decrease in body fat, insulin and other risk factors also contribute to a decrease in the chances of developing colon cancer.

Cardio when Fasting To achieve the greatest benefit to your workout and burn more fat, many experts recommend doing cardio in the morning while fasting.

The secret is not to consume any calories or sugary drinks especially in the morning.

You don’t deplete muscle mass if you do the cardio while fasting properly. Don’t wait more than 15 minutes from the time you wake up, don’t do high intensity, you should be able to hold a conversation, and it should not last more than 40 minutes.

Just after training, have a protein for breakfast and a complex carb with low glycemic index.

What you should never do is train with weights while fasting; to train you should eat protein and carbohydrates before.

What happens when you eat before doing cardio is that much of the fat you’ll burn is just the same as you eat.

By skipping this meal, your body will need to obtain energy from somewhere else and your body fat is what will be used as fuel.

Advantage -Cardio performed in the morning can increase the amount of free fatty acids (FFA) to be used as fuel.

-Cardio while fasting can lead to mobilization of fatty acids and increase insulin sensitivity.

How Much Cardio?

The American College of Sports Medicine has two basic recommendations for cardio exercise. The first suggests 30 minutes of moderate cardio five times per week, and the second recommends 20 minutes of intense cardio three times per week. People who are trying to lose weight and elevate their fitness levels may need to exceed the basic guidelines and lengthen the duration of each workout.

Are you considering a Tummy Tuck this year?

A

bdominoplasty or tummy tuck is a surgical procedure which Dr. Rotemberg performs to remove excess fat and skin from the abdomen and tighten the abdominal muscles.

Its primary focus is to design a tightened and re-contoured abdomen that eliminates bulky or pudgy stomach tissue. In addition to reshaping the appearance of the midsection, the abdominal muscles are tightened to a desirable structure that much more toned internally.

How do I know if I need a tummy tuck or liposuction?

If you have a protruding abdomen with excess fat and loose hanging skin, especially when you sit down, you are a candidate for an abdominoplasty or tummy tuck.

If you just have localized fat without hanging skin on your stomach, then liposuction may be all you need.

Your board certified plastic surgeon can determine the best procedure for you during a physical examination.

What are the differences in the types of abdominoplasty?

There are three common types of abdominoplasty or tummy tuck procedure.

1. Standard or full abdominoplasty 2. Mini abdominoplasty 3. Extended abdominoplasty

They all involve removing the excess skin and fat from the abdomen and they may or may not involve tightening the abdominal muscles. With the mini abdominoplasty we just remove the excess skin in the lower abdomen without repositioning your umbilicus.

A physical examination and discussion with your plastic surgeon will determine the best procedure for your body shape.

How long and where is the incision for the tummy tuck?

Usually the incision is a low transverse (horizontal) incision hidden in the bikini area. The length of the scar depends on the amount of excess skin the patient has and needs to be excised.

What will it happen with my belly button after a tummy tuck?

The umbilicus stay in the same place, we just make a new opening in the tightened skin to pull it through.

How long is the procedure?

The abdominoplasty surgery usually takes approximately 3 hours. You will stay in the recovery room another hour or two and then be discharged to home.

What type of anestheisia do you use?

General anesthesia is given by a board certified anesthesiologist.

How long is recovery?

Most patients return to work after 2 weeks. If you have a desk job you may return to work sooner, depending on how you feel. No heavy, strenuous exercise for 6 weeks. Light exercise, such as walking can be restarted after 2 weeks.

Manifiesta tus Deseos en el 2015! ¿Has pensado cómo manifestar tus propósitos del Año Nuevo? Cada elección que hagas debe tener un propósito claro, de lo contrario fácilmente puedes desviarte con múltiples distracciones. Las decisiones importantes que tomamos en la vida son el resultado de nuestra conciencia y disciplina. Para ayudarte a alcanzar tus propósitos en este Año Nuevo, te comparto tres consejos que promoverán un estado mental más claro para tomar las decisiones que te lleven a realizar tus propósitos.

1) Comprométete a Descansar. Tu habitación tiene únicamente tres propósitos: i) dormir; ii) leer; y iii) disfrutar de la intimidad. Un dormitorio no es un centro de entretenimiento o una segunda oficina en casa. Si tienes un televisor en tu habitación, desconéctalo. Deja tu computadora fuera de tu habitación. La mayoría de nosotros tenemos que iniciar el día alrededor de las 6:00 a.m. Ajusta tu rutina de manera que te vayas a dormir a más tardar a las 10:30 p.m.

2) Limita la carne roja de tu dieta. No estoy proponiendo dejar de comer carne roja a menos que así lo quieras. Si eres carnívoro, intenta cambiar tu dieta limitando comer carne sólo cada dos semanas e idealmente, disminuyendo su consumo a una vez al mes.

Te sorprenderás cómo rápidamente tu cuerpo se siente más ligero y tienes una mejor digestión.

3) Escribe tus intenciones y deseos. Tómate tu tiempo para pensar en lo que realmente quieres lograr este año. Has una lista y escríbela en una hoja de papel. Sé claro y específico. Revisa tu lista periódicamente. Léela al despertar y antes de irte a la cama.

Estos sencillos consejos pueden ser un recurso poderoso para empezar a manifestar los cambios que deseas ver en tu vida. El buen descanso y una dieta más ligera en realidad influirán en tu manera de pensar y sentir, ayudándote a tener claridad y a concentrarte en tus objetivos. El acto de escribir activará el movimiento hacia la materialización de tus deseos. ¡Sé positivo y prepárate para un próspero, pleno y feliz 2015!

2015: An Opportunity to Manifest your Desires How will your 2015 resolutions actually materialize? Choices must have a purpose behind them, otherwise they can be easily replaced by any number of distractions. Making purposeful choices is a result of self-awareness and discipline. To help you achieve your resolutions for this New Year, I have three tips to share with you that will promote a state-of-mind capable of making and supporting the motivation to follow through on purposeful choices.

1) Recommit to quality rest. Your bedroom should serve only three purposes: i) sleep; ii) read; and iii) enjoyment of intimacy. A bedroom is not an entertainment center or a second home office.

If you have a TV in your room, unplug it. Leave your computer elsewhere. Most of us need to be answering our alarm clock by 6:00 a.m. Adjust your evening routine such that your head is on the pillow no later than 10:30 p.m.

2) Try to limit red meat from your diet. I am not saying to give up meat unless you want to. If you are a routine meat eater, try changing your patterns to eating a steak every other week and ultimately, once a month. You will be amazed how quickly your body responds by feeling lighter and achieving better digestion.

3) Write down your dreams and desires. Take your time to think about what you truly want to accomplish this year. Make a list and write it down on a sheet of paper. Be clear and specific. Revisit your list periodically. Read it when you wake up and before going to bed.

These simple tips can be a powerful resource to start manifesting the changes you want to see in your life. Good rest and lighter diet will actually influence the way you think and feel, helping you to focus on your goals. The act of writing will trigger the motion towards the materialization of your desires. Get ready for a prosperous, fulfilling and blissful 2015!

Omega 3 mejora la salud pero no todos son iguales

Muchos de ustedes conocen los beneficios del aceite de Omega 3: 1. Contienen vitamina D para ayudar los huesos, a tener dientes sanos y un sistema inmune sano.

2. Apoya perfiles normales de lípidos que están dentro del rango normal.

3. Apoyan la función de la respuesta inflamatoria natural del cuerpo.

4. Lucha contra las arrugas: Suaviza, renueva y fortalece la tercera capa de la piel.

5. Protege la visión.

6. El corazón bombea mejor.

7. Beneficia el cerebro: mantener las arterias limpias, y esto mejorar su función. El cerebro también altera sus neurotransmisores para ayudar a reducir la depresión.

8. Mejora la fertilidad: mediante la mejora de la capacidad de nadar de los espermatozoides y el medio ambiente para la implantación en la mujer.

9. Es un pre requisito para las mujeres embarazadas: Los ácidos grasos omega 3 afectan directamente el desarrollo del cerebro por lo que es

crucial para las mujeres embarazadas debido a que la DHA es importante para el desarrollo del ojo y el cerebro fetal adecuada.

Pero no todos son iguales y pueden ser muy tóxico y dañar sus órganos.

Consigue un pedazo de styrofoam y vierte el aceite sobre él y si le hace un agujero a styrofoam, ¡le puede hacer lo mismo ha sus órganos!

Tener en cuenta: -El aceite de pescado es muy vulnerable a rancio; la marca Standard Process (SP) toma medidas para garantizar la protección de sus aceites de pescado, incluyendo una botella oscura y gruesas, pequeñas perlas oscuras.

-El origen de los aceites de pescado están a menudo contaminados con algún grado de mercurio u otro veneno de metales pesados; SP haces estudian cada lote y garantizan menos de 1 parte por mil millones de Mercurio.

-Muchos contienen una combinación no estandarizada de pez que puede dar lugar a fluctuaciones en el contenido de Omega- 3; (SP) siempre utiliza atún rojo del Atlántico por su sostenibilidad y seguridad.

- La cantidad de HDL debe ser de 600.

Les deseo a todos ustedes un viaje saludable y hermoso.

Omega 3: Great for your health but not all are made equal Most of you know about the benefits of Omega 3 oil: 1. Contains Vitamin D to help support bone, teeth health and a healthy immune system.

2. Supports normal lipid profiles already within normal range.

3. Supports the body’s natural inflammatory response function.

4. Fight Wrinkles: As we age, fat cells in our skin’s third layer thin out and tend to get bumpier; omega 3 helps make that layer thicker and smoother.

5. Protects vision.

6. Pumps the heart.

7. Boost the brain: In keeping your arteries clear, you are immediately improving brain function. It also alters your neurotransmitters to help reduce depression.

8. Enhance Fertility: in both males and female by improving sperm’s swimming ability and the environment for implantation in woman.

9. A pregnancy prerequisite: directly affect brain development making it crucial for expectant mothers because the DHA is important for proper fetal eye and brain development.

But be aware of the type of omega 3 that you are purchasing some can be very toxic and can even damage your organs. Open one omega 3 capsule and pour it over of a piece of styrofoam, if it makes a hole then you know what it can do to your organs.

Also keep in mind: -It’s vulnerability to rancidity; Standard Process brand (SP) takes steps to ensure protection of its fish oils including a dark bottle and thick, small, dark pearls.

-The source for fish oils are often contaminated with some degree of Mercury or other heavy metal poison; (SP) brand chemically assess every batch and guarantees less than one part per billion of Mercury.

-Many fish oil products contain a non-standardized combination of fish that can lead to fluctuations in the Omega-3 content; (SP) always uses Atlantic Blue fin Tuna for its sustainability and safety.

-The amount of HDL should be 600.

I wish all of you a healthy and lovely journey.

¿Un Implante Dental o un Puente Fijo?

Los implantes dentales son la opción ideal para reemplazar dientes perdidos, especialmente en pacientes jóvenes o personas con buen estado de salud.

Cuando se pierde un diente o varios dientes, este espacio se puede restaurar básicamente de tres formas, con: 1) puente fijo, 2) implante y corona sobre este implante, y 3) prótesis parcial removible.

El implante dental es una “raíz artificial de metal” que se coloca directamente en el espacio que ocupaba el diente que se perdió.

Sobre esta raíz, se puede colocar una corona, un puente fijo o una dentadura completa.

La “raíz artificial” brinda el soporte para la corona sin tener que desgastar o hacer coronas en los dientes vecinos del espacio a restaurar. Esta es la diferencia principal entre un puente fijo y una corona sobre implante.

Cuando se fabrica un Puente fijo, los dientes vecinos tienen que ser coronados y desgastado para que sirvan de soporte al diente que falta. Si le falta un diente, entonces hay que desgastar dos dientes sanos y se fabrican tres dientes unidos en una sola pieza.

Si los dientes vecinos ya tienen coronas o están severamente

fracturados y necesitan coronas, entonces la opción del puente es recomendada. Sin embargo, al estar los dientes conectados resulta difícil mantener limpio debajo del puente. El cemento del puente se puede disolver con el tiempo y se pueden producir caries debajo del puente y si falla unos de los dientes pilares hay que reemplazar el puente completo. Por otra parte, si la encía se retrae al paso del tiempo, se puede ver la base de metal alrededor de los dientes.

Los implantes dentales parecen dientes naturales porque devuelven la sensación de morder, se puede pasar el hilo dental entre los dientes y como es una raíz de metal, nunca va a tener caries.

Los implantes también pueden ser usado en casos de pacientes con dentaduras flojas (especialmente las dentaduras inferiores).

Varios implantes colocados correctamente pueden brindar la retención y el anclaje necesario para mantener la prótesis complete en su lugar, eliminando así la necesidad de usar pega o pasar por situaciones vergonzosas en público.

Nuestra práctica se enfoca en la prevención y educación del paciente. Para mayor información, llame al 954-983-3992 or www. hollywoodsmilesfl.com.

Dental Implants or bridge?

Once teeth have been lost, there are basically three ways to restore them: 1) With a bridge, 2) with implants and crowns over implants, 3) with a partial or complete denture.

A dental implant is an “artificial tooth root” that is placed into your jaw to hold a replacement tooth or bridge. Dental implants are an ideal option for young people and patients in good general oral health who have lost a tooth or teeth and don’t want to wear a removable partial.

The “metal root” provides support for the new implant supported crown without having to grind or reduce the neighboring teeth. This is the most important difference between a conventional bridge and an implant restoration.

When a bridge is made, the teeth adjacent to the missing tooth have to be prepared or reduced. This means that if you are missing one tooth, we need to fabricate a three-unit bridge (3 teeth joined): The missing tooth is connected to the two on each end. If these teeth already have crowns or are severely broken, it’s not a big deal since those teeth need crowns anyways. But, if you have perfectly good healthy teeth next to a missing tooth, then it’s a shame to

have to grind the good teeth in order to make a bridge. In this case, a dental implant is the best option because these healthy teeth are not affected at all.

Dental implants feel just like a “normal” tooth because you recover the “biting sensation”, you can floss between your teeth, it looks very natural and, since it’s an “artificial tooth” it will never get a cavity!

A single implant can be more esthetic and easier to keep clean than a bridge. Gums can recede around a bridge, leaving a visible defect when the metal base or collar of the bridge becomes exposed. Also, the cement holding the bridge in place can dissolve, allowing bacteria to decay the teeth that anchor the bridge needing to replace the entire bridge.

Implants can also be used in the case of patients with lose dentures (especially the lower denture). A few dental implants can provide the anchor and retention needed to maintain the denture in place without having to use the denture glue and avoiding embarrassing situations in public.

Our practice focuses on prevention and patient education. For further questions, you can contact me at 954-983-3992 or www. hollywoodsmilesfl.com.

Usando tu propia sangre para el tratamiento de la calvicie

HOLA LATINOS P.46 Salud Health

Tratamiento con plasma rico en plaquetas (prp)

L

a alopecia o pérdida del cabello es una patología común que afecta tanto a hombres como a mujeres y puede suceder de manera aguda o de manera crónica, y esta última generalmente empieza durante la adolescencia, aumentando progresivamente con el paso de la edad. Las causas de la calvicie son muchas, pero en un 95% de los casos, la calvicie es del tipo androgenética y esta fuertemente ligada a la herencia.

Los folículos de hombres con alopecia androgenética son muy susceptibles a la hormona dihidrotestosterona o dht, la cual es sintetizada a partir de la hormona masculina testosterona.

En folículos sensibles el exceso de dht miniaturiza el folículo por lo que la fase de crecimiento del cabello se acorta y el pelo no es capaz de madurar. Con el tiempo el cabello se adelgaza por lo que el volumen se reduce, generando un vello frágil, corto y deteriorado. ¿Para qué sirve el tratamiento con plasma rico en plaquetas?

Las plaquetas son pequeñas células que hacen parte de nuestra sangre y son las responsables

de la reparación de vasos sanguíneos y en la cicatrización de heridas. Al sufrir un trauma o una herida, las plaquetas se adhieren al vaso sanguíneo dañado, liberando diferentes factores de crecimiento que ayudan a reparar y regenerar el tejido dañado. Conociendo esto, luego de un proceso de preparación de la sangre del paciente, es posible concentrar las plaquetas para luego activarlas y liberar factores de crecimiento y así estas empiezan a actuar en el sitio de las inyecciones estimulando la regeneración y reparación del tejido.

Muchos estudios han demostrado los beneficios del tratamiento con plasma rico en plaquetas para restaurar y prevenir la caída de cabello.

Las plaquetas y los factores de crecimiento ayudan a la proliferación celular, incrementan el periodo de crecimiento del cabello, engruesan el diámetro de cada pelo y sobretodo favorecen la formación de nuevos vasos sanguíneos por lo que regeneran la irrigación sanguínea alrededor de los folículos pilosos. Además, según una investigación científica, ciertos factores de crecimiento pueden estimular a células madres en el área bulbar del folículo, estimulando el desarrollo de nuevos folículos.

El plasma rico en plaquetas (prp) se obtiene a través de la centrifugación de la sangre del paciente de donde se obtiene la parte que contiene la mayor concentración de ellas para luego aplicárselas al paciente en su cuero cabelludo.

Resolution to a Healthier You By: Rosario Sabogal, Beauty of Wax, Hollywood

You have enjoyed great company and food over the holidays, now it is time to get back on track, with recharged batteries and probably a list of New Year’s resolutions to accomplish, most of them related to healthier habits or losing weight. The question is: are you committed to your resolutions? Because it all starts with realizing that you need to make changes to make them happen. If sporting a leaner, healthier body this 2015, is one of your resolutions, you do not need to starve or work out until you pass out, all it takes is little targeted changes in different bases that should be covered.

Life is not rigid, and neither should your diet be. The truth is we are so adjusted to not eating what our bodies need to be fueled that eating fresh and natural may sound hard to accomplish, especially if you are used to a high intake of sugar and carbs. They don’t only make us gain weight, but also give us cravings for more sugar and carbs, and make healthy food less attractive for us.

The best way to start changing your habits is by increasing your water intake, this will flush the unwanted “storage” and add moisture to every cell, making them run smoother and function better. Second, you should increase your fruit and veggie intake, you should replace all carbs and sugars, but adding them, or increasing their consumption. Last, and very important, workout, you do not need to pass out at the gym, take a good walk on the beach, swim, jump, enjoy a nice outdoors activity at least 3 times a week, do it at your convenience, but do it!

Las plaquetas son agentes regeneradores muy potentes del cuerpo humano, que en altas concentraciones, ayudan y estimulan la producción de colágeno y elastina. Este plasma, al ser inyectado en la zona a tratar, logra frenar la caída del cabello, además de una visible mejora en la fibra capilar.

Es recomendable realizar este tratamiento cuando el paciente nota aumento en la caída del cabello “cuanto antes, mejor”.

El plasma rico en plaquetas premium (PRP) es un tratamiento sencillo, hecho en la oficina del doctor y el paciente puede volver a sus actividades diarias inmediatamente, solo con mínimo enrojecimiento y mínimo dolor que desaparece rápidamente. El tratamiento tiene una duración aproximada de 40 minutos y es un tratamiento personalizado, la cantidad de sesiones que necesite el paciente y la velocidad con que se requiere el tratamiento dependerá del grado de caída de cabello que presente.

Los resultados son apreciables a partir de los primeros días desde su realización, alcanzando el máximo beneficio dentro de los primeros treinta (30) días. Es recomendable hacerse al menos tres tratamientos seguidos iniciales y estos beneficios pueden durar aproximadamente un año por lo cual se recomienda hacerse sesiones de refuerzo.

I bet you don’t know what natural flavoring means for people food do you? It could be the anal glands of a beaver and legally be considered truthful advertising. For that reason my Mom does not eat Gummy Bears anymore. Just the thought of it reminds me of what a bear does in the woods. wag wag. Your pet’s allergies could be from what is in their dry food.

Cats are not supposed to eat dry food at all. They were not designed to eat dry food and it does not clean their teeth. The lies amaze me. Farrah Fawcett’s teeth were so white the Pet Food industry would have you believe she ate kibble. Do not leave dry food out all day for your pet to nibble. Cats in the wild only ate twice a day. Dry food is the main cause of Feline Diabetes. The smell of food triggers the cat’s brain to prepare the body for digesting and the main cause for finicky eating cats. If you must buy dry food only buy PetGuard and keep refrigerated. I know cats can be a Prima Donna Pain. Most pet foods contain ingredients that are illegal for people food. How cruel! I guess it creates job security. We read about the ingredient Ethoxyquin a preservative developed by Monsanto in the book “The Natural Cat” and how breeders began finding deformed puppies and kittens.

Thank your lovely government for not mandating the disclosure of ingredients in our pet food. GREED FEED. By-Products include moldy rancid or spoiled processed meats as well as tissue too severely riddled with cancer, diseased tissue, pus, hair assorted slaughterhouse rejects and carcasses in varying stages of decomposition are sterilized with chemicals. Food in packets say complete nutrition legally however you will have to ask the manufacturer it if is good for human consumption. The word fish on a label can mean anything legally, it is not the whole fish or a filet. PetGuard is the only company that uses only filets and whole fish in their recipe. Tuna and Salmon have too much mercury. We used to think Turkey lunchmeat was ok NOT it has nitrates and nitrites preservatives.

Vitamin E is good to add to your cat’s food. Our cats take Nu-Cats by VetriScience www.VetriScience.com, Anitra’s Vita-mineral Mix and Spring Water to quench their thirst. Feed aging pets smaller frequent meals. Honestly the only commercial food you should feed your pet is from PetGuard. We buy ours from Chewy.com.

El concepto de perder peso mientras te diviertes ha tenido un gran éxito mundial.

Con los movimientos Latinos y la buena música, La Zumba es súper divertida, aumenta las endorfinas, y a su vez quema muchas calorías.

Una sensación del

movimiento Zumba Fitness

Por: Nancy Esteves

Desde juegos de video y giras mundiales, Zumba ha llegado a la industria musical latina motivando hasta a los grandes como Pitbull, Daddy Yankee y Don Omar a crear canciones del tema.

Una sensación en los Conciertos de Zumba Fitness es la cantante y bailarina Colombiana Mara Prada, que con su gran talento ha puesto a gente alrededor del mundo a bailar con sus canciones “Crazy Love”, con Beto Pérez, uno de los fundadores de Zumba Fitness y “Oye”, su primer hit lanzado en 2010. Su música es alegre y positiva creada para el baile y ha encajado perfectamente con la Zumba.

Mara llegó con su música a Miami en el 2011. Su canción, “OYE” la destacó en la comunidad latina. Mara pronto se presentará en el condado Broward durante un concierto de Zumba Fitness.

Entrevista con Mara en exclusiva: - Empezaste tu carrera con el show de reality “Pop Stars” ¿Por qué no seguistes en actuación?

Si, esa fue mi primera salida a luz en mi país justo de la forma en la que quería ser conocida que era por la música; dado al éxito del programa el canal me ofreció actuar y lo acepte por un tiempo lo cual me trajo un gran aporte...

La música y el baile fueron mi primer amor en el terreno artístico…empecé de cero con el objetivo de hacer mis canciones y soñando que mi música se escucharia en todo el mundo y hoy después de casi 10 años está sucediendo gracias a toda la comunidad de Zumba que gratamente sorprendida vi como fueron acogiendo mi música de un forma increíble en 182 países.

- ¿Además de ser cantante, bailas muy bien, ¿cómo te desarrollaste como bailarina?

El baile ha sido otra de mis grandes pasiones que he llevado de la mano junto a el canto desde pequeña, en el Colegio así como estaba en los concursos de canto y en el coro, también estaba en las danzas y las cheerleaders y luego tome clases de ballet, jazz y pertenecí a un grupo de baile en Colombia durante 3 años y por supuesto no me perdía las clases de Rumba en los Gimnasios de Bogotá en esas épocas.

- Haz compartido el escenario con Pitbull and Daddy

Yankee. Cuéntanos de esa experiencia con estos dos ídolos latinos.

Si, ha sido una grata experiencia compartir con estos artistas tan grandes en la industria y también parte de mis sueños personales que se van cumpliendo y que en definitiva te van enseñando algo de por qué ellos tienen su puesto bien ganado.

-Tienes muchos fans, ¿Cuantos views tienes en YouTube hasta ahora? y seguidores?

Esta es una de las cosas más lindas de esta carrera y son todas las personas que conoces y con quienes conectas de esta forma tan especial ... más de 14 millones de personas de muchas razas y edades han bailado y cantado mis canciones alrededor del mundo en las clases de Zumba ... Mis vídeos ya superan los 10 millones de visitas y son muchos los que me acompañan en mis redes sociales día a día pero no los veo como fans lejanos ...

Cuando tengo la oportunidad me gusta interactuar con la gente... Ojalá pudiera hacerlo con cada uno. ¿Cuál es la magia de la Zumba? ¿Piensas que es terapéutica?

Absolutamente, más que cualquier cosa es una terapia de felicidad el bailar junto a otros y compartir la alegría que esto nos causa... Y si además bajas de peso pues fenomenal... Desde tiempos inmemorables este tipo de actividades se practica desde las tribus hasta las fiestas de alta alcurnia; bailar juntos con la música que nos gusta genera endorfinas que es la hormona de la felicidad... esta es la magia.

-Además de ponerte en forma ¿piensa que la Zumba ayuda a la salud mental?

Totalmente, sales de esta experiencia de-estresado y en lo que he podido ver también aumenta la seguridad y la autoestima en muchas personas pues el baile genera una conexión con uno mismo muy especial, liberadora que te hace sentir más segura y a gusto contigo mismo y además haces muchos amigos con quien ya tienes una gran afinidad.

-¿Piensas que el movimiento de Zumba Fitness esta influenciando a la música latina?

Claro que sí; no en vano este movimiento fue llamado por Billboard como la nueva plataforma musical y es algo que yo he comprobado con este camino que he recorrido junto a ellos en estos años, donde he podido ver como muchas de mis canciones se han vuelto un éxito a través de este movimiento.

-¿Como se llama el nuevo video de Zumba donde tú cantas?

Nuestra última canción se llama Súper Girls producida por mi productor y partner el también Colombiano Robert Taylor. Esta canción que habla de empoderar a las mujeres, la hago en featuring con una instructora de Zumba que también es cantante llamada Michelle Gutty y con Beto Pérez. El video de esta canción lo grabamos en Chile bajo la dirección de Marcelo Borlando quien estuvo en los inicios.

Acabamos de llegar de hacer un Concierto Fitness para más de 10 mil personas junto a Beto en Santiago siendo el concierto fitness mas grande en el que he actuado…

Esa noche en Chile será inolvidable para mí y sé que para muchos que lo vivieron con nosotros. ¿Que planes tienes para el 2015 con el Zumba Fitness Movement?

Nuevas canciones, Conciertos y que cada día más personas de diferentes audiencias conecten con mi música Haré una serie de Fitness Dance Concerts junto a los instructores de Zumba a través de un concurso donde ellos pueden participar para estar conmigo en stage , este concierto es una experiencia interactiva donde no solo vas a ir a mirar un show sino que harás parte de él en una especie de clase grande de Zumba donde estamos cantando y bailando juntos con el público ; esta es una de las experiencias que se vive en las convenciones y que normalmente está reservada para los instructores , así que he querido sacarla para que la viva el público en general.

Mara se presentará este próximo 20 de Febrero en el Miramar Cultural Center.

Mara PRADA Touring the World

with her “Crazy Love” for Zumba By: Nancy Esteves The Zumba Fitness Movement craze has some 14 million people in 185 countries on the bandwagon to get in shape. What’s made it so popular -- it’s a great endorphin building workout, heavy on Latin moves, with great Latin-inspired music and burns lots of calories. If you’ve ever taken a Zumba class, it feels like a party.

From video games to world tours, Zumba has come to the Latin music industry as a new platform enticing artists like Pitbull, Daddy Yankee and Don Omar to make hit songs about the theme.

Rising to fame in the Zumba Fitness Concert world is Colombian singer and dancer Mara Prada who has people all over the world dancing to her hit tunes “Crazy Love” which features Beto Perez, one of the founders of Zumba Fitness and “Oye,” her first hit single released in 2010. Her music is upbeat and created for dance and has become the perfect fit for the Zumba revolution.

Mara arrived to the Miami music scene in 2011. Her song, “OYE” gained her celebrity status in the local Latino community. Mara will be performing next month in Broward county during a Zumba Fitness Dance concert.

Exclusive Interview with Mara Prada: You kicked off your career in the reality show “Pop Stars.” Why did you switch from acting? ... “Music and dance were really my first love in the arts ... I started from scratch and my goal was to create songs and dreamed that my music would be listened worldwide, and today, after almost 10 years, it’s happening, thanks to the whole Zumba community who welcomed my music in an incredible way in 182 countries.”

- Besides being a singer, you’re a great dancer, how did you learn to dance so well?

“Dancing has been one of my passions since I was very young.” (Mara was a cheerleader, took ballet classes and jazz classes and belonged to a dance group in Colombia for three years. She says she never missed Rumba classes at the Bogota Gyms).

- You shared the stage with Pitbull and Daddy Yankee. Tell us about that experience with these two Latin idols.

“Yes, it was a great experience to share the stage with these big artists and it was also part of my personal dreams that are being fulfilled… and that teach you why they have their well-earned positions.”

You have many fans. How many views do you have on YouTube so far? and followers?

“This is one of the nicest things about this career…all the people you meet and connect with in a special way ... More than 14 million people of many races and ages have danced and sang my songs around the world in their Zumba classes ... My videos have over 10 million visits and there are many that follow me on my social media networks every day, but I don’t see them as distant fans ... When

I have the chance, I enjoy interacting with people ... I wish I could do this with everyone.”

What is the magic of Zumba? Do you think it is therapeutic?

Absolutely, more than anything it’s therapy for happiness. When you are dancing with others and sharing the joy that it causes ... and if you lose weight—it’s phenomenal ...

Since immemorial times this was practiced by the tribes… Dancing together with the music we love generates endorphins, which are happiness hormones--this is the magic.

Besides getting in shape do you think Zumba is good for the mind?

“Totally, you leave this experience destressed and what I have also noticed is that it increases self-esteem in many people because dancing generates a special connection with ourself , a liberating feeling that makes you feel more secure and at ease with yourself, and you make many friends with whom you already have an affinity with.”

Do you think that Zumba Fitness has had an influence on Latin music?

“Definitely; this movement was named by Billboard as the new musical platform and is something that I have found during this road I’ve traveled next to them over the years, and have seen how many of my songs have become successful through this movement”.

-What’s the name of the new Zumba video where you sing?

“Our latest song is called ‘Super Girls’ produced by my producer and fellow Colombian partner Robert Taylor. This song is about empowering women, I perform it with Zumba instructor/ singer Michelle Gutty and Beto Perez. We recorded the music video in Chile under the direction of Marcelo Borlando. We just did a Fitness Concert for more than 10 thousand people in Santiago, Chile being the largest fitness concert in which I performed ... That night in Chile will be unforgettable for me and I know that for many who lived it with us.”

What are your plans for 2015 with the Zumba Fitness Movement?

“New Songs, concerts and more and more people from different audiences to connect with my music. I will perform in a series of Fitness Dance Concerts alongside Zumba instructors through a contest where they can be live on stage with me. The concert is an interactive experience where you can watch the show and are part of it, a kind of a big Zumba class where we are singing and dancing together with the audience. This is one of the experiences that exists during the Zumba conventions and is usually reserved for instructors but I wanted to live it with the audience too.”

Mara will be performing this coming February 20th at the Miramar Cultural Center.

2400 Civic Center Place, Miramar, FL 33025.
