AWAREmed Health & Wellness Resource Center has launched WELLNESS U: Lifestyle 101- Transforming Retreat, a new program that helps reverse and decrease the effects of aging and several common chronic diseases that are plaguing our wellness and quality of life, and causing us a massive financial burden. While early disease detection and modern treatments are important components of good health, proactive evaluation and prevention are the specialties of AWAREmed Health & Wellness Resource Center, as well as your key to living life to the fullest. Dr. Akoury and the staff of AWAREmed are trained to search for underlying causes of health concerns – and for potential problems – and can help you understand and address them in the context of your daily life. AWAREmed Health & Wellness Resource Center are in the forefront of a proactive movement that is committed to making a difference in the lives of participants, by coaching them and helping them to make long lasting lifestyle changes and to make better choices that will literally transform their lives. At AWAREmed, we promise to reduce the number of people living with these miserable states of diseases, instead of simply adding to the numbers afflicted. In the future you will be able to choose from an array of specially designed health packages that focus on a specific health concern or personal goal, including: • Comprehensive Health & Performance • Journey to Optimal Men/Women’s Health • Healthy Weight for Life • Stress Management for Healthy Living • Optimal Fitness • Living with Diabetes • Life Transitions • Thriving with Osteoporosis Prevention and Management • Smoking Cessation • Sleep Enhancement/Insomnia Relief • Comprehensive Integrative Medicine We offer patient-to-patient networking to help you connect with a support group. Our goal is to provide you with sources of inspiration, encouragement and hope.

- ADD NAMES
- Break! Every few minutes we will stop talking and start moving … we may take a short exercise break, a meditative moment, or enjoy the pleasure of a bite or two of whole, organic food.
- HANDOUT INCLUDED
- In the body, the antioxidant process is similar to an apple turning brown. That browning is oxidation, just like what happens in the body. Once you cut an apple, it begins to brown, but if you dip it in orange or lemon juice - which contains vitamin C – the apple stays white and fresh.
- Time for a break!
- An acidic pH can occur from, an acid forming diet, emotional stress, toxic overload, and/or immune reactions or any process that deprives the cells of oxygen and other nutrients. The body will try to compensate for acidic pH by using alkaline minerals. If the diet does not contain enough minerals to compensate, a build up of acids in the cells will occur. An acidic balance will decrease the body's ability to absorb minerals and other nutrients, decrease the energy production in the cells, decrease it's ability to repair damaged cells, decrease it's ability to detoxify heavy metals, make tumor cells thrive, and make it more susceptible to fatigue and illness. A blood pH of 6.9, which is only slightly acidic, can induce coma and death.
- COULD BE USED AS A BREAK EXERCISE
