Acupressure and Nutrition for Healing
Healing Points of Acupressure and Nutritional Tricks for Healing
By Shannon Eggleston
I use acupressure points to stimulate healing. They are 9000 years old – tried and true. The study of Traditional Chinese Medicine uses nutrition, exercise and bodywork to heal people completely. Here are some points to reduce pain and the correlating nutritional tricks as well.
Basic Suggestion on How to make points feel better:
- Gently and firmly press point until pain or tension gone
- Breathe deeply and comfortably 3 or 4 times or until pain or tension is less
- Take at least 3 breaths on each point and start again, until pain or tension is gone
There are lines of energy on the body, connected by healing points, similar to “dot to dot” drawings for children. These lines are called Meridians. The dots and lines are the same on both sides of the body (right and left).

Eat real food. Less to no sugar.
Eat low glycemic fruits instead of processed goodies. No sweets after dinner- especially before race day.
Find out what foods make your body weak. Notice how foods affect your performance.
Watch out for these foods-most people have reactions to them!
- Corn – soda, chips, starch, syrup, Maltodextrin, Dextrose
- Wheat – breads, crackers, noodles

Some reactions, that people have when one of these foods affects them, are stiff joints/bodies, tired muscles, swollen feet, watery eyes, headaches, problems sleeping, cold/ flu like symptoms, can?t focus, and low energy.

Reduce and Manage Stress
Many stressors affect us mentally, but we can handle them better by taking care of ourselves PHYSICALLY. Here’s how:
Exercise regularly. Exercise can help rid the body of the "stress hormones" that build up during periods of stress.
Improve your appearance. Even moderate exercise just three times a week can have you looking slimmer and more toned. And by feeling better, usually helps us give you more confidence, even more empowered.
Eat sensibly. Eat a nutritionally balanced diet and make sure there are snacks in between each meal. Drops in blood-sugar levels can make you feel even more stressed.
Get enough sleep. A lack of sleep can cloud your judgments and generally leave you poorly equipped to handle challenges that come your
way.
Be your best! Do your best. Feel your best!
