What makes YOU tick? Is it Lyme disease?
It was for Jenny Buttaccio, who suffered for years with “an ever-growing list of strange symptoms” without answers.
Until finally, a doctor diagnosed her with Lyme disease.
Lyme disease can devastate a person’s life, especially when undiagnosed for so long. Symptoms include:
- fatigue
- fever
- headache
- skin rash
After her diagnosis, Jenny spent a year looking for the right treatment. Finally finding one, Jenny dedicated herself to finding peace, strength, and happiness again.
Would you believe Pilates became her saving grace?
Now, she’s on a mission to recruit others fighting Lyme disease to add Pilates into their treatment regime.
In a blog post on ProHealth, Jenny states her case using five very convincing points. Similar to yoga, Pilates is all about marrying the mind to the body and strengthening the core—both of which are, according to Jenny, pivotal to heal from Lyme disease.
If you’ve yet to try Pilates, I encourage you to. Other fitness programs may boast all kinds of benefits under the sun, but Pilates takes more of a holistic approach.
I’d also encourage yoga to ANYONE—whether it’s yen, hot, restorative, regular, or any of the other different kinds. Studies have actually suggested yoga can positively benefit the management of certain forms of disease, such as glaucoma and arthritis (just to name a couple).
