Food Sensitivity Awareness

Happy Holidays from Therapeutic Health Massage! We hope you are having a great Holiday Season! In recent years, more and more individuals are discovering that food sentitivies and allergies are affecting their lives. Every body is different, but the more you know about your own, the more power you have!

This can be a difficult time of year regarding food for many reasons. Food allergies and sensitivities included. This may not be the best time to examine food sensitivities with all the rich seasonal food that is present. Our advice is to speak to a health professional who understands food sensitivities prior to "testing" anything on your own.

How do food allergies/sensitivities relate to us as massage therapists? If you consume food that your stomach/body is sensitive to, it may increase inflammation and make it more likely to experience pain. So, examining if foods affect the way you feel if you are experiencing a lot of pain may be worthwhile.

We all hear a lot about gluten these days. Dairy. Soy. Nuts. Those are the biggies. We have come to know a company that does cater to these allergies and thought we would share their holiday offer for those who already know about food issues they have.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
