Wellness Day
Health is big news this summer. High-profile news releases
have questioned health advice that considered gospel for years —
or decades. Is hormone replacement safe? Has carbo loading been a
mistake? Experts fill the air with opinions. There is controversy
on any number of issues, but agreement on one; most of us need to
get serious about staying well.
Help for those seeking to follow that advice is available on Saturday,
August 3, from 11:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at a Wellness Fair at the MarketFair
shopping center. Services provided have suggested donations with proceeds
going to the Make a Wish Foundation. Call 609-683-3996.
Ari Cohn, a chiropractor and an organizer of the event, says
what is commonly known as “healthcare” is not really health
care. Most people only seek out the services of healthcare providers
when they are sick. Healthcare is actually made up of two distinct
categories, sickness care and wellness care. Sickness care includes
any modality designed to fix, cure, relieve or even prevent health
problems. Wellness care is any avenue designed to improve how the
body is working regardless of condition or symptoms.
Services to be showcased include: acupuncture (Suzette Gore),
aromatherapy (Connie Cox), biofeedback (Pedra Garnet),
chiropractic (Ari Cohn DC), Pilates (Anthony Rabara),
magnetic therapy (Virginia Prescott), martial arts (Princeton
Academy of Martial Arts), massage (Jason Sklar), meditation
(Amy Glenn), nutrition (Maryellen Murray ND), reiki (Danauta
Macow), reflexology (Dean Dobry), and yoga (Princeton
Center for Yoga and Health).
