3 Simple Steps to Optimizing Health, Losing Weight and Increasing Energy Holistically
- Power Breathing: Pinch one side of your nose shut, and then inhale through the open nostril. Complete the breath by exhaling through the mouth. Do four single nostril breathes per side. A study conducted by Richard Brown, MD and Patricia Gerbarg, MD revealed that yogic deep-breathing techniques were extremely effective in handling depression, anxiety, and stress-related disorders. Not bad results for something that can so effortlessly be performed and incorporated into our lives.
- Break a Sweat: Power walk, jog, jump rope, etc…choose a physical activity that will stimulate your heart rate and make the sweat pour. Work a minimum of 10 minutes per day performing rigorous activity that will induce sweat; don’t start the clock until you have those simmering beads flowing. Sweating exfoliates the skin reducing acne, eliminates surface toxin and of course regulates body temperature allowing the system to maintain homeostasis. Build a clean eternal environment by staying fit and active.
- Water, Water, Water: Focus on consuming 80 to 96oz. of water per day. This breaks down to 5 or 6 sixteen ounce bottles of water. Good clean h20 is unquestionably the greatest natural diuretic helping to keep the digestive track clean and flush toxic residue left by foods that have passed through the intestines. Remember water retention is not caused by too much water; it is caused by too little…so if you are feeling bloated, drink up!

Connections Plan Presented at Trustee Workshop
West Chester Township Board of Trustees will get a closer look next week at a plan that promotes connecting people to places using alternative transportation.
A Connections Plan workshop has been scheduled for 5 p.m. Oct. 14, preceding the Board’s regular meeting. The public is encouraged to attend.
West Chester’s Community Development Department has been working with a citizens’ advisory group to identify optimum routes for cyclists, walkers, joggers, etc. that link to places of interest. The Plan is not limited to dedicated bike/hike trails, but also considers sidewalks, shared roadway paths and other options.
While there is currently very limited funding for these projects, the Connections Plan could serve as a road map when future development or road projects allow for the addition of a path or sidewalk, or a wider berm. For example, road improvements along Lakota Drive West this year created the opportunity to add sidewalks connecting the Beckett Ridge neighborhood to some area businesses and to Lakota West High School.
“This will be a very informative presentation for the community,” said Community Development Director Brian Elliff. “There is a great deal of interest in exploring options for alternative transportation for reasons of economy and health.”
