TIP “Chinese medicine can help you be the best version of your- self. Modalities like acupuncture, herbal supplements, cupping, and nutritional and lifestyle guidance without side effects, promote clear, relaxed thinking, focused mind, restful sleep, energetic and produc- tive days, efficient digestion, and strong immune function. Schedule a consultation and find your happier self. ” TIP “Consistency is key! To build a new routine that you can commit to, plan your workouts ahead and build intensity over time to stay safe and feeling good. By coupling our overhead bungee system with the Pilates chair, clients experience resistance from both above and below, ensuring that their core is activated throughout the class. We can easily increase or decrease intensity by playing with resistance levels of the bungees and chair pedal. Building your strong self takes commitment, so work smart by listening to your body.” ChaiseFitness Maplewood Claudia Aarts-Schreiber — 178 Maplewood Avenue, Maplewood 973-996-2063 — maplewood@chaisefitness.com Northern New Jersey Eye Institute Dr. Charles J.

Healthy eyes are an important part of a healthy life and healthy body. You may feel that your vision is fine, but a complete eye exam is the only way to be sure. Certain eye diseases have no symptoms, but if they're found early your vision could be saved. Eating right, maintaining a healthy weight, not smoking, wearing sunglasses and protective eye wear are all ways you can help keep your eyes healthy.” Caroline Radice Acupuncture & Chinese Medicine — 108 Baker Street, Maplewood 917-292-7226 — CarolineRadice.com
