text: Lupine is currently practicing a Japanese form of Acupuncture as taught by Kiiko Matsumoto and David Euler. In this style of treatment we work with the physical body to release blockages that have formed from illness, injury, repeated stress, surgery, toxins, and emotions. As the blockages are released the body is able to come into balance, access the inner healer, and achieve homeostasis. In this style of acupuncture we expect to see immediate results with each treatment, building into long term health and vitality over a course of treatments. The Japanese style of acupuncture is extremely gentle and uses the most refined tools to comfortably encourage the flow of energy required for vibrant well being. Health issues that can be addressed by acupuncture include: pain (both acute and chronic), digestive disorders, energy issues, adrenal exhaustion, trauma, systemic detoxification, autonomic nervous system imbalance, blood pressure disorders, hormonal imbalances, scars (both post surgical and from trauma) structural imbalance (including scoliosis), headaches, organ problems, neurological disorders (neuropathies), orthopedic disorders, cardiovascular challenges gynecological disorders, psychological disharmonies, and immune system challenges. Lupine Meredith Wread is a California Licensed Acupuncturist and herbalist trained in Traditional Chinese Medicine, Five Element medicine, and Japanese Acupuncture. Previous to practicing Acupuncture, Lupine was an Iyengar Yoga teacher for many years. She is a passionate gardener, and is currently studying how to cultivation of Chinese herbs in the US, to address the invisible price of importing herbs and the multiple environmental concerns of using herbs.
  One of the best ways to cut down on costs and stay healthy at work is to carry readymade food with you each morning. This will reduce the amount of time you have to spend moving from one restaurant to the next looking for a healthy meal. Today we look at the best ways to achieve this.
  One of the mistakes that many people make is the failure to understand the rules pertaining to carrying of food to the workplace. Some companies allow foods while others don’t. Your company might allow you to bring foods to a certain extent. The rules will depend on the workplace.
  Some companies will allow you to bring the food, but will provide a special area where you can eat from. Eating at your desk is not always advisable.
  To get the best out of this practice, you need to have several containers for holding the food. These containers should have lids to protect the food from contamination and to keep the food fresh. However, you need to make sure that you don’t leave the food open for long since it might attract flies.
  Some companies have gone to the extent of manufacturing special containers for carrying food. The containers are made in such a way that they keep the food warm for several hours.
  Food is good, but you need to make sure you have a drink to accompany the food. Studies show that processed drinks such as soda and other carbonated drinks are the major cause of weight gain at the workplace. To this end, you need to make sure you have a healthy drink during your lunch break.
  One of the practices that is catching up is taking smoothies to accompany your meal. Smoothies have a long shelf life depending on the kind of ingredients you use to make it. A smoothie also helps you to decide what to include, which makes it ideal if you are on a diet. However, you need to have the right equipment to pull this off. You need a blender for this task. This review is worth a read if you are on the market for the best blender.
  Carrying food to work is one of the best ways to cut costs and enjoy a healthy meal without spending a lot on food. Make sure you know what you need and acquire the right equipment for the task.
