The Health Benefits of Walking
Walking is a great exercise that almost everyone could do, regardless of age and background, or whether you are very fit and accustomed to exercise or just starting a brand new exercise regimen. You do not need to buy fancy gear, spend a lot of money on supplies, and time waiting for equipment to arrive and putting it together.
It allows you to go at your own pace, and reap the benefits right away. Walking outside is good for a change of scenery and getting some fresh air. If you have a family member to walk with, it allows for good conversation, bonding time, and a healthy regimen. Some people also walk with their animals, and walking a dog several times a day helps to give that stable routine.
Because it is so basic in our every day movements, walking is often overlooked, and takes a backseat to other training activities. But in actuality, walking allows you to stay healthy, active and to keep your bodies moving with ease. Walking burns calories, promotes a healthy lung system and also a healthy heart system. Walking also benefits cardiovascular health because it gets blood flowing, increases oxygen, and helps the body get rid of toxins.
Because it is low impact, walking is the most basic form of cardio workouts. It causes very little stress to your body systems. It is easy on your joints and you pretty much do not have to worry about straining or hurting yourself. It is great for beginners and can get you on the right track to a healthier lifestyle. Walking is wonderful for weight loss and helps keep movement at a steady pace to help you stay trim and active.
When it comes to exercise, walking is the best way to get started. You could begin right now! It is embedded into us and one of the most basic activities we do as human beings. Regardless of age, medical condition, injury or accident that does not allow for high impact exercise, a good walk allows you to do the most basic exercise right away by placing one foot in front of the other.

Ulcerative Colitis
What is Ulcerative Colitis?
Ulcerative colitis (UC) is an autoimmune disease that causes inflammation and ulceration to the inner lining of the colon (large intestine) and rectum. It is a chronic disease, also known as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that has similar symptoms to Crohn’s disease but only occurs in the colon. Due to abnormal responses by the body’s immune system, it produces irritation to the inner lining of the colon, causing prolonged, lasting inflammation that ultimately leads to ulceration. Ulcerative colitis does not occur suddenly in an individual; the symptoms are developed over time and causes individuals to have flare-ups intermittently. A continuous inflammation of the lining of the colon may increase the chances of developing colon cancer.

Ulcerative Colitis Symptoms
The cause of ulcerative colitis is unknown. Typically, the body’s immune system would fight off any infection the body encounters. However, UC patients' white blood cells (WBC) that naturally defend the body from any foreign pathogens mistakenly think food, good intestinal bacteria, and the cells lining of the colon are invaders. They send a response to phagocytes to engulf and destroy bacteria and other foreign materials resulting in chronic inflammation and ulcerations inside the surface of the colon. Symptoms of UC include bloody diarrhea, rectal bleeding, an urgency to defecate and inability to defecate, abdominal and rectal pain, fever, fatigue, anemia, loss of appetite, and weight loss.

Acupuncture to Benefit Ulcerative Colitis
Acupuncture and herbal medicine induce homeostatic response on the cellular level by influencing the body’s internal organs to correct imbalances in their digestion, absorption, and energy production activities. They stimulate the central nervous system to release chemicals in the muscles, spinal cord, and brain. These chemicals will change the experience of pain, or they will trigger the release of other chemicals and hormones which influence the body’s own internal regulating system. Acupuncture helps ulcerative colitis by reversing tissue damage and reduces inflammation and improves their quality of life. Acupuncture is safe and painless. There are no drugs or hazardous equipment used, and no surgical operation performed.

Treatment of Ulcerative Colitis
There is no cure for ulcerative colitis. Ulcerative colitis is treated with multiple drugs or surgery. Doctors would prescribe UC patients with an anti-inflammatory drug to reduce the inflammation, immune system suppressor to suppresses the WBC response to prevent inflammation, and other drugs such as antibiotics, anti-diarrheal medication, pain reliever, and iron supplements to aid in the symptoms UC has caused in the colon. However, not all drugs will work for every individual, and depending on the severity, surgery is required. There are multiple ways surgery can be performed for patients with UC. Surgery can consist of removing part or the entire colon (large intestine and rectum) and reconstruction the small intestine forming a J-pouch to collect stools that are attached to the anus or create an opening in the abdominal for stool to be released.

Case Studies
According to the Healthcare Medicine Institute, a study has shown that acupuncture helps to eliminate ulcerative colitis. An experiment was conducted on ulcerative colitis patients that were randomly divided into two groups. Results show that group A patients who did a combination of acupuncture combined with herbal medicine and drugs had a total effective rate of 93.1% with 56 days of required care compared to group B patients who only received drugs had an overall effective rate of 75.86% with 81 days of care needed. Patients who received acupuncture and herbal medicine have proven that acupuncture has tremendously helped them from ulcerative colitis. Take it from a patient from Chino, California, “I was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis at age 25 and went through a year and a half of ups and downs. My 36 prescribed pills a day were not healing my body, they were simply suppressing the symptoms and creating other health problems along the way. After 9 months of treatment with Dr. Kevin I am 100% drug free today. The doctors told me that I’d be on the prescriptions for the rest of my life and would possibly need a colostomy. With God’s grace and Dr. Kevin’s wisdom I am healed and living a perfectly normal lifestyle.”
