A Wealth of Wellness Knowledge

My friend and I attended a health show in Vancouver last September, and upon reflection, it was a very rich way to spend time together! Where else can one spend a full weekend accessing the type of information these health shows provide, and then apply the principles in our daily family lives? It was a rewarding experience, to say the least, and we are still reaping the rewards of the information-packed seminars and exhibit hall.

We sampled food in the Healthy Kitchen area raw foods and natural oils, soups, teas and pizza. It was a delicious taste treat! The idea here (and it worked) was to "whet our appetites" and show us that eating healthy can be simple and delicious. The exhibit floor also offered us the opportunity to access knowledgeable people who could answer brief questions about our health products and concerns. Afterward, we retreated to the body working room to try another kind of sampling relaxing, stress-relieving body work. Mmmm...

For me, seminars hold the real nuts and bolts of the program. It is impossible to listen and not feel inspired! Sam Graci and Brad King were upbeat and inspiring with their topic, How to Combine Food and Proper Exercise for Maximum Benefits. Lorna Vanderhaeghe's seminar, The Connection Between the Immune System and the Mind, was excellent!

The speakers talked to me, not above me (as sometimes happens), and the information was well researched. Choices were presented to many of us, when before we had few. We all felt encouraged to adjust our eating habits, live a little more consciously and create a focus of wellness for our bodies and our minds. I encourage any and all of you that, if you are given the opportunity to attend a local health show, don't miss it. Once your health goes, your life is never the same!
