Healthwise Clinic Natural Health Blog

I must remember to be in next monday night for the second episode of million dollar traders.  Not because I was interested in what they were doing (wannabees hedge fund trading just at the time the markets collapsed, but for the amazingly unhealthy lifestyle.

The man in charge (not Mr Big but Mr Big-gish) was appalled that two of them went off for a half an hour lunch.  He said he only had two lunches in 8 years!! The person who had been in the Army had red spots on his face that were getting worse during the second week .. what will they be like next time?

He needs Healthwise Purple Balm! How can these people make informed decisions with no food, no relaxation or fresh air during the day?

There are so many toxins all around us.  Even in our own homes.  the trouble is that they don’t necessarily look dangerous or have a skull and crossbones health warning attached to them.. so we don’t often know!

Healthy people can shrug off these problems but Winter is a time when energy can be low, and it is also a good time to address energy problems.  The first Healthwise talk of 2009 will take place at the Healthwise Clinic in Burnham and it is all about the many ways that toxins can be reduced in our everyday life to improve health.

The evening is on 27th January from 7 – 9 pm and all are welcome.  Ring the clinic if you want to come along – cost is £ 20 or £ 15 with a copy of the Winter Newsletter.  Andrew Loosely will share his knowledge and make it easier for you to achieve better health.

How many people do you know who were ill over Christmas?  A lot of my friends and acquaintances have been laid low in the run up to Christmas and afterwards.

According to the lunar calendar used in Chinese medicine this is not surprising as we should all be taking it easy in the winter months. Winter is traditionally the time for accumulation (not depletion of energy), nourishment and growth.

Flowers do not bloom in winter, trees lose their leaves .. plants have a period of downtime – and so should we!  Instead of getting stressed, winter is the time we should be relaxing more, eating good healthy food, and getting the rest we need.

So make the most of the credit crunch and avoid the sales and you will helping your health as well as your wallet!
