National Yoga Month - www.yogamonth.com

In a recent randomized study of two groups at Boston University, yoga was found to be more beneficial for the calming effect on the body/mind than other exercises.

(See www.SportsGeezer.com). After the 12 week study, the group doing yoga indicated that they had less anxiety and felt calmer than the other group.

This was also confirmed by taking GABA
readings in the brain.

GABA is a neurotransmitter of the central nervous system and is related to the parasympathetic nervous response or "relaxation response".

Healthy Eating - 101

While most Americans agree that good nutrition is important, most do not maintain consistent healthy eating habits. Most of us think we do better than we really are. A survey by the American Dietetic Assn. found that 90% of adults think they eat a healthy diet. In reality, less than 5% meet the minimum US Dietary Guidelines.

How much of a difference can good nutrition make in your life? How about increased energy, better mood, improved mental and physical performance for starters? Add to this improved health and quality of life.

The new "Healthy Eating 101" Coach Program will be using scientifically proven guidelines to help guide you towards better nutrition choices and improve your overall health. These guidelines are based on the DASH diet developed by the National Institutes of Health. A Mediterranean twist to DASH has been added to the 5 step program.

Class Details:
This 6 consecutive week one hour class will help participants become aware of their current eating habits by food journaling practice; increase knowledge of healthy food choices to achieve proper body composition; and improve overall health and energy level with long term practice.
