Mindful Eating

Ever find yourself snacking on a bag of chips and suddenly end up at the bottom of the bag? But how did that happen exactly?

T.V. snacking is an easy way to load up on unwanted calories quickly. Practicing mindful eating is one way many people avoid the endless snacking and stay slim. Ever wonder why ‘Readers Digest’ has digest in it? What we see, read, hear, and eat all nourishes us. When we watch T.V. and eat at the same time, our powers of digestion are divided. We must now digest what we are seeing on the television and what our mouth is taking in. Not only do we overeat, but we also weaken our power of digestion.

Slow down. Relax. Focus.

Try this: Take something small, a grape, fig, dried cranberry, etc. Take a deep, long breath, envisioning it going into your kidneys as you pick your food up. Look at it. Smell it. Smile at it. Place it in your mouth and savor it. Feel the texture of it. Bite into it and notice the flavors, the juice, the wrinkles, the multiple levels of taste. Let it fully nourish you. Enjoy all of the flavor before you swallow.

• Start to savor the look, texture, taste, and smell of every bite. It works and has a huge impact on curbing binge eating.
• Another way to help is to think mini meal. One way of achieving this is to use 7” plates instead of 11” plates. Buy small.
• If you choose to snack, don’t hide the evidence. You are likely to eat less if you don’t hide what you’ve done.
• Hydrate! Your body’s signals for thirst may mimic those for hunger, especially if you aren’t used to listening to the thirst signals. If you feel hungry, try 2 large glasses of water. Give it 5 – 10 minutes. You may find yourself doing something and forgetting that you ever felt hungry in the first place.
• If you feel like you are starving, try to eat a little fat before you sit down for a meal. If you eat about 6 walnuts or a small handful of almonds 20 minutes before you eat, your body feels full. The good fats in a small portion of nuts produces CCK, cholecystokinin that communicates to the brain that you’ve had enough to eat. It also keeps you feeling full by slowing the emptying of your stomach. This way you eat for pleasure and not from a famished, "scarf all your food at once" place.

SHONISHIN

SHONISHIN (SHO: Little - NI: Children - SHIN: Needle), is a very gentle, non insertive Japanese Pediatric Acupuncture style. Shonishin specializes in the treatment of infants and children.

It is very effective to treat minor viral infections/feverish conditions, pain, digestive sensitivities, respiratory conditions and allergic reactions.

Shonishin treatments are brief, comforting and offer a gentle stimulation to regulate and fortify the child's vital energy, harmonize their emotional system and strengthen their constitution and immune system.

The techniques involve rhythmic stroking of the acupunture meridians; as well as, rubbing, tapping and pressing the skin at specific acupuncture points and areas of deficiency or excess.

Would you recognize what occurs to your body when a traumatic event happens to you? Would you be ready to deal with this trauma looking for and receiving appropriate treatment? Or Would you ignore the problem until your body cannot keep up with the struggle anymore and may end up needing conventional surgery or prescription drugs?

 

Visceral Manipulation enhances bodily functions, evaluating and treating the dynamic suspension and movement of the organs and the structure of the body (including the muskulo-skeletal, nervous, vascular, lymphatic, respiratory, and digestive systems).

Simple Treatment with Amazing Results

We are thrilled with the results our patients have been experiencing from the Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) therapy. After much research Dr. Schoen added this treatment to our practice protocols because she realized that this simple therapy is able to relieve pain and enhance the effectiveness of other treatments.

PEMF has been shown to relieve pain from arthritis as well as soft tissue pain. There is also evidence that PEMF has the ability to facilitate cell regeneration, relieve edema and speed up healing of wounds.

Tuesday, May 10^th at 6:30pm Dr. Schoen will discuss and demonstrate the benefits of PEMF. Please join us for this in-office seminar in Winter Park at 1850 Lee Road, Suite 240. RSVP 407-644-2729 or email through our website www.midfloridamedicalgroup.com

Relieve Pain, Enhance Healing!

Joya Schoen, M.D. and Claudia Chica, PT, AP are offering a free seminar on ways that Pulsed Electro-Magnetic Field (PEMF) and Visceral Manipulation can enhance healing and relieve pain.

The statistics are startling:

· 28% of Americans are in pain at any given time

· $2.6 Billion is spent annually on non-prescription pain killers

· $13.8 Billion is spent annually on prescription pain killers

· $60 Billion lost annually due to lost productivity related to pain

· Reducing inflammation is critical to eliminating pain and preventing disease and illness, but how do you do it safely and naturally?

Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy re-energizes damaged cells by inducing electrical changes within the cell that restore it to it’s normal healthy state. Because of this, cellular metabolism is boosted, blood cells are regenerated, circulation is improved and oxygen carrying capacity is increased. Ultimately, the immune system becomes healthier, the nervous system relaxes, bones and joints become stronger and vital organs such as the liver, kidneys and colon are able to rid themselves of impurities thus detoxifying the body. Pulsed Magnetic Field Therapy can reduce pain and improve the quality of life by allowing your body to function as it was designed

to do.

Visceral Manipulation is used to locate and solve problems throughout the body. It encourages your own natural mechanisms to improve the functioning of your organs, dissipate the negative effects of stress, enhance mobility of the musculoskeletal system through the connective tissue attachments, and influence general metabolism. Visceral Manipulation is based on the specific placement of soft manual forces to encourage the normal mobility, tone and motion of the viscera and their connective tissues. These gentle manipulations can potentially improve the functioning of individual organs, the systems the organs function within, and the structural integrity of the entire body.

These non-invasive treatments are the obvious wave of the future!

Join Dr. Schoen and Dr. Chica May 10^th & June 14^th 6:30pm, you will be amazed and glad you did. RSVP 407-644-2729 or email through website: www.midfloridamedicalgroup.com
