People read labels like never before, why, because they are knowledgeable about natural ingredients.

Skin care products made from natural ingredients are preferable to mainstream products made from un-natural ingredients. Some of you know these harmful additives and avoid them. Many of these products contain free radicals which can damage WKH FROODJHQ DQG HODVWLQ À EHUV WKDW JLYH UHVLOLHQFH and tone to our largest organ. The options are obvious in favour of Natural.

Go Natural from now on.

SUN HANG DO THE COMPLETE MARTIAL ART As our population ages, we are becoming much more focused on our physical and mental health. People are beginning to realize that they need to have some form of physical activity in their schedule if they want to stay healthy. The challenge for most is not the desire but the follow through. This is where scheduled classes, be they Martial Arts, Dance, Yoga, or any other similar activity, are easier to stay with than just going to the gym by yourself.

Are martial arts classes for everyone? The answer to that is yes. Because the focus of most Martial Arts Schools is personal growth, it does not matter if you are three or sixty-three, can do 250 push ups or none, there is still the possibility of improvement in an environment that supports it.

It has long been known that physical exercise is beneďŹ cial in reducing feelings of depression, and a proper class plan that incorporates stretching, aerobic, and anaerobic exercise can be a very effective tool in alleviating those feelings. Fit people not only live longer, they enjoy life more.

HAPPY NEW YEAR! CONTACT US TO SEE HOW WE CAN HELP YOU ACHIEVE YOUR FITNESS GOALS FOR THE NEW YEAR

Martial Arts for Fitness and Health At what age is Martial Arts training appropriate for children? We start them as young as three and one half, and as long as their focus and attention span can endure a complete class they beneďŹ t from the experience. Research has shown that children who are actively improving their movement vocabulary at an early age do signiďŹ cantly better in sporting activities than those that donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t. The ages from three to six that are so crucial to a childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s mental development are now turning out to be just as important in the growth of their physical abilities.

Children and adults require exercise to stay healthy both mentally and physically. Activities that challenge you keep you engaged, and the varied activities that are found in a good Martial Arts curriculum, as well as the support of the people who train and teach help to support good health throughout a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whole life.

At Balanced Health Wellness Centre we believe the balance of body, mind, emotions and spirit is needed to create health and vitality.

We are all made of energy and the Law of Conservation of Energy is a physics law that states energy cannot be created or destroyed, only changed from one form into another or transferred from one object to another.

Our practitioners use this principle to facilitate healing in others. Therapies such as Massage, Hypnotherapy, Reiki and Integrated Energy Healing come at it from different starting points.

Massage Therapy begins with the physical; manually ÂżQGLQJ HQHUJHWLF EORFNV NQRWV DQG IDVFLDO DGKHVLRQV DQG working to release them. In the process it clears stress and tension creating conditions that make healing possible and HQHUJ\ WR Ă&#x20AC;RZ Hypnotherapy begins by helping a person get into a very relaxed state then uses the power of the mind to release emotional/energetic blocks, break habits and work through fears to get back to a healthy state.

There is a reason why yoga has become hugely popular in recent years and why so many doctors and health professionals are recommending it! Everyone is beginning to realize the amazing benefits of incorporating yoga into your health and fitness routines. As we age, connective tissue builds up within our bodies that slowly inhibit our movement.

Yoga is not only for flexible people; it actually helps to improve your flexibility and also builds long lean muscles. This is very beneficial for many reasons including: decreased injury, improved muscle function, strengthened core for stability, improved balance and so much more!

From an emotional place, the breathing techniques in yoga help with stress reduction and improve calm focus and mental sharpness - the benefits are endless!

Healthy eating, some cardio and yoga would be an ideal 3 pronged approach to a complete mind, body and spirit wellness that will improve your quality of life! Try it out! What have you got to lose!
