Unleash Your Spring Energy: Boost Health & Happiness with Acupuncture

Say goodbye to winter blues! This post dives into easy ways to boost your energy & well-being this spring.

Hint: acupuncture is involved!

While we've been delving into the emotional side of things, let's shift gears this week and explore the practical and straightforward aspects, such as how diet and exercise can contribute to a happier, healthier spring.

Here are a few adjustments you can make to your routine this Spring:

Embrace Leafy Greens: Remember those salads we left behind in the fall? Well, they can start making a comeback. Start incorporating the vibrant leafy greens of arugula, kale, and spinach into your meals.

Moderate Sour and Bitter Flavors: Add a twist of lemon to your water, sauté greens with a bit of vinegar, and enjoy citrus fruits like grapefruit. These flavors resonate well with the Liver/Gallbladder channels.

Limit Sugary and Processed Foods: Decrease the consumption of sugary and processed foods, as they can disrupt the flow of energy and contribute to fatigue and irritability.

And lastly, add some movement into your day.

The Liver/Gallbladder channels love movement, any kind of movement. 

This could be as straightforward as a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood to catch sight of the first spring blooms or dedicating a few extra minutes every hour for some stretching. 

With these simple dietary and movement tweaks, you'll be well on your way to a happier, healthier spring. Remember, small changes made consistently lead to lasting change more often than taking an all-or-nothing approach. But more on that next week!

P.S. - Don’t forget to treat yourself to some Acupuncture this spring. It's the perfect way to keep you feeling your best in the madness of March.
