By Sherry Tejada | February 22, 2012
Be informed and be choosey when using products on the body’s biggest organ – YOUR SKIN! At our Acupuncture Clinic in Tucson AZ, we are always giving healthy information to our patients for wellness and prevention. Being healthy means using products like soaps and cosmetics that are non-toxic.
“Unfortunately there are no FDA standards in regulating the amount of chemicals in products, said Malkan. (Click here for article from ABC News) Companies don’t even need to know the chemicals that they are putting in their products.”
Here are two links to websites that list and rank the cosmetics and other health related products for toxic levels, etc:

Alkalizing Spinach Soup Recipe Balances an Acidic Body. – Tucson Acupuncture
By Sherry Tejada | January 30, 2012
Many people and most of the new patient’s we see at our Acupuncture Clinic in Tucson, have acidic bodies. Bodies that are more alkaline are proven to be more healthy. We make diet and nutritional recommendations as well as prescribing medicinal Chinese Herbal Formulas to bring the body back into a more base or balanced ph level. Eliminating the acid forming foods from your daily intake of foods, will greatly enhance your body’s immunity and overall health. I am sharing this Alkalizing Spinach Soup Recipe to help get you started. Eat this delicious flavor packed soup to get your body back to a more alkalized state every day for a quick lunch. The ingredients are not only alkalizing, but also are loaded with phyochemicals. (Google “Phytochemicals” and you’ll be motivated to eat better immediately!) Click here for my soup recipe.

Healthy Substitute for Dairy – Tucson Traditional Chinese Medicine
By Sherry Tejada | January 9, 2012
At our Acupuncture Clinic in Tucson, AZ. almost daily we are asked, “What can I substitute for dairy?” And “How can I survive without dairy in my diet…particularly ice cream?”
The United States is almost the only country in the world that continues to drink milk daily into adulthood. What do the other countries know that we don’t? Click here for information from Harvard University
Click here for information from an M.D.
“Can you get calcium into your diet with other foods?” Yes!

I was reared in Minnesota and it being a dairy state…I bought into the “Dairy – It Does a Body Good” advertising. I grew up and raised my kids
with lots of dairy in our diets…Never knowing the results of wreaking havoc on our digestive systems.
Traditional Chinese Medicine looks at dairy as big phlegm producers as well as creating stagnation. Also, when cold and/or frozen these foods
create much more phlegm. The digestive system literally gets frozen and slows or stops the digestion until the spleen and the food are back to about 100
degrees. All this time the Spleen/digestive system has been creating fat, acidity, and phlegm! Decide to work with your body’s basic functions by
limiting dairy, cheese, yogurt, etc… and consuming foods/beverages at room temperature and you’ll actually be healthier. Click here for more Traditional Chinese Medicine detailed perspective
So if you just HAVE TO HAVE dairy…here are some great Nut Milks to keep you satiated and healthy!
