An Evening With Dr. Murad

HEALTH AND BEAUTY SECRETS REVEALED FROM HEAD TO TOE

Dr. Murad reminded everyone of the old Chinese proverb that speaks of the longest journeys beginning with a single step. Making changes in how we live, eat and go about our days can be hard. We get into routines. Life gets in the way. Take those first steps toward a healthier happier life and see where the path leads. After all, life is about change and those first steps are so important, just like those taken by a baby, with toes spread wide for balance and stability.

If getting back to nature can bring harmony back to the skin, what about the parts of the body that seem to scream for attention, say those extremities that carry the entire weight of the body around every day, the feet?

The feet have the most awesome task of providing balance and mobility to our entire body. Why then do we squeeze them into closed toe, often too narrow shoes and wonder why we have back or knee pain? If the toes become stiff and weak, the body’s balance becomes out of sync and other joints and muscles compensate for the imbalance. Giving feet the attention they have earned will lead to benefits in other areas of the body. Gayle Trenberth of Beech Sandal Co., LLC was on hand to educate the women on how Yoga Sandals® utilize the basic principle in yoga of spreading the toes for grounding resulting in better balance and body alignment.

Practiced by ancient civilizations through today, over 18 million Americans live healthier lives by utilizing the holistic benefits of yoga. Yoga addresses the physical and mental imbalances of the body. Yoga Sandals help retrain the toes to spread, aiding balance in many of the standing poses in yoga, yet yoga practitioners are not the only ones who can benefit from these sandals.

Yoga Sandals® are the next generation in flip-flop design with four toe separators that help provide a natural alignment of the foot bones and muscles. With everyday wear the slope of the sole combines with the toe separators to increase the spreading action when walking. This helps bring back flexibility and strength to the foot bones and connective tissues in the feet, allowing them the benefit of exercise all year long. By creating proper foot alignment, the rest of the body – the ankles, knees and hips are also able to come into alignment.

While expecting to hear about the latest in technological advances in beauty and healthcare, the audience discovered that what we have known for years about eating right and taking care of our bodies is what really matters when it comes to good health and well-being. “When you look good, you feel good,” said Dr. Murad, “and when your body is healthy your appearance speaks for itself.” Maybe the philosophers of ancient times knew best. In the words of Plato,

“Beauty of style and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on Simplicity.”
