Nutritional Counseling for Anti-Aging and Health and Beauty Aids
It has become apparent over the past 10 years that advances in the study of Nutrition and Diet aids for the prevention of aging skin and joints as well as maintaining wellness for a longer and more productive life has come a long way. The food pyramids for example have all been changed as well as the dietary considerations for all ages and conditions and diseases of patients have been under scrutiny as a result of recent clinical trials. Our patient population is aging and those in that category as well as other ages are now concentrating more than in the past on wellness and maintenance of health.
Our Clinic has the expertise and experience in Nutrition Counseling for all ages of patients. We utilize current proven concepts of skin care, joint and mobility care as well as other organ systems health in preventing the effects of aging and poor diets. We concentrate on taking items such as the Trans fats and other negative food items, such as preservatives and additives out of the diet and replacing those items with the healthy items such as the omega 3 and 9 fatty acids, which have been shown to prolong the life of cell membranes as well and increase the flexibility of the cell membranes. Other skin-care protocols are utilized which prevent free radical damage and therefore helps prevent the consequences of aging. Other protocols which maintain skin health such as moisturizing the skin and hydrating the body are explored on an individual bases, depending on the patient problem. We encourage those who have skin and joint problems to attend our clinic for help manage situations related to aging and poor diets. Nutrition counseling is one of the several techniques used at our holistic-care clinic.
Bioresonance
Bioresonance or Pulsating Energy Resonance Therapy is a very effective holistic body treatment system with success rates up to 95%. PERTH works with very LOW magnetic fields in a body-like frequency window in the pico tesla range. Higher magnetic field strength is not sufficient for therapeutic use! In one session the entire meridian system is stimulated and the oxygen partial pressure increases about 61% after 10 minutes. Blood is the transport agent for oxygen and nutrition to the cells. After a short treatment time the energy level of a person is increasing. More energy = more health. After 20 years of research it is now possible to treat various diseases naturally and very effectively.
Neuro Scan / Electrodermal Screening
Electrodermal screening instruments are a synthesis of advanced electrical and computer technology and the ancient concepts of Chinese medicine. Known as "chi" in traditional Chinese medicine, bioelectric energy is said to flow through a series of circuits called meridians which can be affected by stimulating the topical meridian points of the body. Although the theory of life-energy (called the vital force in European natural medicine) seems very abstract to logical Western thinking, European researchers have validated the existence of meridian points by electrical conductivity readings. Over the last 45 years, German research has led to electrodermal screening being utilized to aid in the determination of the appropriate therapy for the patient as well as to evaluate disturbances in the body.
Obesity experts now believe that a number of different aspects of American society may conspire to promote weight gain. Stress is a common thread intertwining these factors. For example, these days it's commonplace to work long hours and take shorter or less frequent vacations. In many families, both parents work, which makes it harder to find time for families to shop, prepare, and eat healthy foods together. Round-the-clock TV news means we hear more frequent reports of child abductions and random violent acts. This does more than increase stress levels; it also makes parents more reluctant to allow children to ride their bikes to the park to play. Parents end up driving kids to play dates and structured activities, which means less activity for the kids and more stress for parents.
Time pressures — whether for school, work, or family obligations — often lead people to eat on the run and to sacrifice sleep, both of which can contribute to weight gain.
Some researchers also think that the very act of eating irregularly and on the run may contribute to obesity. New neurological evidence indicates that the brain's biological clock — the pacemaker that controls numerous other daily rhythms in our bodies — may also help to regulate hunger and satiety signals. Ideally, these signals should keep our weight steady. They should prompt us to eat when our body fat falls below a certain level or when we need more body fat (during pregnancy, for example), and they should tell us when we feel satiated and should stop eating. Close connections between the brain's pacemaker and the appetite control center in the hypothalamus suggest that hunger and satiety are affected by temporal cues. Irregular eating patterns may disrupt the effectiveness of these cues in a way that promotes obesity.
Similarly, research shows that the less you sleep, the more likely you are to gain weight. Lack of sufficient sleep tends to disrupt hormones that control hunger and appetite. In a 2004 study of more than 1,000 volunteers, researchers found that people who slept less than eight hours a night had higher levels of body fat than those who slept more, and the people who slept the fewest hours weighed the most.
Stress and lack of sleep are closely connected to psychological well-being, which can also affect diet and appetite, as anyone who's ever gorged on cookies or potato chips when feeling anxious or sad can attest. Studies have demonstrated that some people eat more when affected by depression, anxiety, or other emotional disorders. In turn, overweight and obesity themselves can promote emotional disorders: If you repeatedly try to lose weight and fail, or if you succeed in losing weight only to gain it all back, the struggle can cause tremendous frustration over time, which can cause or worsen anxiety and depression. A cycle develops that leads to greater and greater obesity, associated with increasingly severe emotional difficulties.
