SPRING CLEANING FOR YOUR WHOLE BODY

Healthy eating isn't just about weight loss, it's also your key to increased energy, better rest, improved memory, beautiful skin, disease prevention, and anti-aging! The most effective way to improve your diet is by making small, slow, permanent changes to your lifestyle. The idea is to make these changes habit, like brushing your teeth, or looking before you cross the street.

Studies show that people who use group support to make lifestyle changes are 80% more successful than those who try to change on their own. '

We probably already know what we should and shouldn't eat, so why do we keep sabotaging our own best interests? Here at Living Well Pilates we will be offering you the solution: group support in an eight-week nutritional course directed by Bunny Denton, RHNC.

In our Body Changes course, you will get group mutual aid and learn what it takes to change your life for life! Our program follows Canada's Food Guide using a variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, lean meats and whole grains. You will be able to cut down on processed foods, white flour and refined sugars.

Sign up for our Body Changes course today! Beginning April 3rd, and running for eight weeks. The cost of the course is $80.00, plus GST.

See the front desk or call 905-847-0707 to reserve your class spot.

Get the support and direction you need to help make your lifestyle changes a way of life!

CHANGE OF SEASONS GREAT TIME FOR A NUTRITIONAL CLEANSE

A dietary cleanse is a natural and effective way of detoxifying your organs and clarifying your body systems. Our high-stress, high-tech, inactive society produces many toxins: industrial by-products, second-hand smoke, insecticides, artificial food additives, alcohol, caffeine and heavy metals, among others. Our bodies are faced with the daunting task of processing and removing these toxins from our systems on a daily basis. It's sometimes hard for our bodies to keep up with the amount of toxins we take in, especially when we are under stress.

If you're a smoker, under stress, work in a toxic environment, take medications, or have never done a cleanse before, you may benefit from a cleanse. There are several cleanses that a person can do, depending on your body's specific requirements. Each person is a biochemical individual, and has different needs.

An effective cleanse could be ten days in length, but some people may need to continue for up to six weeks, under the care of a qualified health professional. A dietary cleanse may not be for everyone, and it is not recommended to try it without the aid of a qualified health professional.

If you think you'd like to try a cleanse, you can talk to Bunny Denton, RHNC or Kym German at the studio on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays.
