    National Men's Health Week

    JUNE 12th-18th
    Did you know most men take better care of their car than they do their own body? They'll spend hours cleaning, polishing, and changing the fluids on their car, but won't spend a minute maintaining their body. Well don't be one of those guys! Not only is it risky to avoid regular check-ups on your car, it's even more of a risk to skip the regular maintenance on your body. Luckily, June is Men's Health Month and we're here to remind you that it's time to make sure all systems are a go!

    When's the last time you gave any thought to your nutrition, flexibility, mental clarity or overall wellness? Now's the time! Jump start your health by attending our workshop on Yoga, Nutrition, Diet & Lifestyle. Find out just what kind of fuel your body desires and get an introduction to a yoga practice that could change your life.

    Lastly, if you want to keep your warranty valid, it's always a good idea to have your scheduled check-ups. Here's a current list of recommended check- ups and screenings by age group. Review it and schedule an appointment with your health care provider today.

    Gentlemen, start your engines!


    Yoga - It's Not Just For Chicks
    Men

    What do Eddie George, Barry Zito, Dan Marino, and David Duval all have in common? Well, clearly they're all guys, but they're also all star athletes, top performers in their sport, as well as faithful Yogis. They're also just a few of the 3.5 million men now practicing yoga in the United States.

    Each of these guys started yoga for different reasons, injury recovery, increased flexibility, and mental focus, to name a few, but all have grown devoted to yoga after realizing it's a kick-butt workout with amazing results! Any misconceptions folks have about yoga being easy are generally blown out of the water after the first class.

    Paul Hewitt, the men's basketball coach at Georgia Tech, who incorporated yoga into his team's routine, said his guys learned quickly, "This is not some passive, sit around-and-contemplate kind of thing. It really stretches my guys to their limits."

    The great thing is, anyone can do yoga. If you're looking for something super challenging, yoga's it! If you're looking for gentle stretching and lengthening of the muscles, yoga's it! If you want to strengthen your core abdominal muscles, yoga's it!

    "Yoga also really helped me with my balance, my abdominal strength and overall strength. It's the strength that you get from holding a pose. Not weight-lifting strength, but real functional body strength," says Amani Toomer, wide receiver for the New York Giants.

    Men of all walks of life are doing yoga these days. That's because the benefits of yoga apply whether you're an athlete, a diesel mechanic or a stockbroker. Enhanced performance, mental clarity and increased endurance are just a few of the reasons you should take up yoga. So stop stalling and get your rear to a class. Even if you are the only guy there, is that such a bad thing?

    Guys

    Donald Ritter, Harry Hart, and John Kemper are just a few of our devoted male yogis at Sana Vida. They always arrive at their favorite 5:30 pm class with an open mind and a willing heart. These guys all benefit from a regular yoga practice and love the life changes they've experienced since beginning yoga.

    They all agreed that their regular practice has helped them cope with the demands and stresses that life has dealt them. Yoga also helps to redirect their focus to healthier life choices. And no, yoga is not just for chicks!

    "How does acupuncture complement Western Medicine?

    Depending on your diagnosis, acupuncture may be the primary treatment recommended by your physician or it may be used in conjunction with other modalities. Allopathic, pharmaceutical and surgical interventions, as well as, numerous other medical modalities are often particularly complemented by the effects of acupuncture.

    For example, acupuncture is often used as oncology support for those going through chemo and radiation. The acupuncture relieves nausea, increases appetite, reduces pain and can boost the white blood cell count within hours. This is sometimes a matter of life or death if a patient cannot receive their next chemo treatment due to too low white blood cells.

    Acupuncture adapts itself to the changing requirements of the patient, making it an excellent partner for Western treatments.

    Chinese Medicine.
