| Eating Breakfast Improves Memory |
 |
Memory may be improved among elderly persons
who
eat breakfast, according to recent research
highlighted by the Public Information Committee of
the American Society for Nutritional Services and the
American Society for Clinical Nutrition.
22 men and women, ages 61 to 79 participated in the
study. Following an overnight fast, the participants
were given either pure protein, pure fat, or pure
carbohydrate beverages.
Researchers noted improved performance on memory
tests just 15 minutes after the protein drinks were
ingested, as compared with placebo beverages
containing no energy.
"We've known for a long time that glucose can have
positive effects on memory in the elderly, but our
findings are novel in that fat and protein were also
shown to have beneficial effects on memory," said
Randall Kaplan, lead author of the study. "In contrast
to previous studies, these results indicate that blood
sugar does not have to increase for memory to be
enhanced."
Previous studies have had similar outcomes, but this
is the first study to show that memory may be
enhanced by eating any type of breakfast, regardless
of whether it was high in protein, fat, or
carbohydrates.
Researchers believe that the best approach to
preserving memory over the long-term is to exercise
regularly, maintain a healthy body weight, and eat a
diet low in saturated fat.

| Revive Tired-Looking Eyes |
 |
Tired eyes? Allergies got you puffy? You
need the Eye Surrender Treatment!
The eye contour is the most delicate skin area
of the face. Characterized by low blood and
lymphatic circulation, this skin is often dehydrated.
This area is also 10 times more reactive than facial
skin and is the first to show signs of aging.
The Eye Surrender Treatment is highly moisturizing
and reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles
and "crow’s feet" while decongesting the eye area.
You'll experience increased circulation and reduced
inflammation, leaving eyes less puffy, smoother and
tighter.
Call Brenda today at 512-755-3906 to schedule your
Eye Surrender Treatment. $40 for Treatment alone,
or only $25 as an add-on to a facial.

"What brought acupuncture to the United
States?"
In the early 1970's American newspaper reporters
covering President Richard Nixon's visit to China
wrote about a "miraculous" healing art virtually
unknown in the United States. The method
immediately caught the American imagination, and
suddenly a new word was on millions of American
lips: acupuncture.
According to news reports, instead of using chemical
anesthetics, Chinese acupuncturists were able to
block pain of surgery by inserting needles into the
patient at specific points. Even more astonishing, it
was said that acupuncture relieved a wide variety of
human ills, and had worked reliably for people through
thousands of years. That publicity brought
acupuncture into great demand by many Americans,
some of them seeking a last resort remedy for serious
afflictions. It took several years for acupuncture
colleges to establish themselves in the US and train
American acupuncturists. It is estimated that 15
million persons each year try acupuncture for the
first time and more would avail themselves of this
ancient healing method if only they knew more about
it.
Please email me any questions you may have
about acupuncture and Chinese Medicine.
