How to Apply Color Therapy for Optimal Health Did you know color therapy is the radiant reflection of luminous energy in various wavelengths, with the power to affect both the body and the soul. Color therapy, or the conscious implementation of color to encourage well-being and healing, has been used in schools, hospitals, workplaces, and other institutions for decades. Science has shown that blood pressure, pulse, and respiratory rate are decreased by exposure to cool colors, such as green, blue, and black, and increased by warm colors, such as red, orange, and yellow. For optimal health, eat foods in a wide range of colors. Your meals should be riotous rainbow of color, rather than a bland palette of whites or browns. Celebrate life, health, fitness, and even food choices by celebrating color! Red Red, the most physical and sensual of the colors, vibrates the most slowly and has the longest wavelength in the visible spectrum. Red is stimulating, hot, and exciting; it is associated with vitality, strength, passion, and willpower.

Hello, my name is Natalie Pyles. I am a Local Fitness & Nutritional Expert. I have over 16 years of experience in both the Health and Fitness Industry. I'd like to share my Personal story of overcoming my battles with weight loss that began as an early adolescent. I struggled from the ages of 13-18, I realized that I had a severe problem and decided then and there to take action.
 
I Conquered Weight Loss

I hired a Personal Trainer and Licensed Nutritionist, like myself, and the rest is history. Basically, I learned at an early age, there is no quick fix... only hard work, perseverance, and committment to a healthier lifestyle will guarantee results. I quit looking for the magic solution and got educated.
