An apple a day: Why preventative programs are vital to your health and wellbeing

What if we were to tell you that the old saying "an apple a day keeps the doctor away" were actually true - would you eat an apple a day?

Of course it is not that simple, but what if you discovered that a few simple practices completed regularly can and does have a beneficial impact on your overall health and well being - would you be willing to do them?

We like to think that you would. 

Just like having a regular check up to ensure your eyes are in good health or your blood pressure is in the safe and healthy range is important, so too are other preventative health measures.

Taking time to have a traditional Chinese remedial message to balance your energy points can have a beneficial impact on your health and well being. Reducing stress levels and unblocking your meridians can ensure you receive better overall health and well being for instance.

If you are one of the many people who spend a lot of time in front of a computer, you may benefit from both traditional Chinese massage as well as acupuncture to help relieve pressure in the head, neck and back which in turn can prevent migraines and back pain - why wouldn't you spend the time to ensure your health is in perfect balance.

We can be guilty of thinking we will sort out any problems as they occur, but like the apple a day, wouldn't it be better to prevent those problems occuring.
