Accepting a Healing Heart by Deborah Livingston
never ending storm, ultimately unlocking the luminous infinite treasures within our soul, is to live through our hearts and not our ego.
When I was two years old, I broke my mom's pearl necklace. It was the first time my father beat my little hands purple. I begged him to stop through my terrified eyes as tears of pain rolled down my innocent face. That day I broke as well. I was the broken strand and the pearls are my life lessons. It took a life time of synchronistic events for the Universe to prepare me to find peace within my self and repair my strand. One of my sparkling lessons after self realization, that I was able to string on my strand was forgiveness.
One of many treasures I was ever so blessed to discover within my self is the ability to accept. For many years, I was completely paralyzed to the thought of accepting life on life's terms or other people for who they were. Today, after having a spiritual transformation and discovering and uncovering my heart and soul from under many layers of armor and releasing my ego from it's duty of My message is based protecting me, "letting on personal experience go," I am able to and I believe that accept.

In my memoir Strand of Pearls, I have weaved my internal reactions to the experiences of my life's adversities, varying from abuse, loss, tragedy and addiction with the thematic flow of pearls of life lessons and challenges. The following passage from my memoir is a declaration of forgiveness to my parents. "Today Mom has labeled herself an unfit mother for allowing those beatings to happen. When I was a child, I blamed her for not saving me. I’ve assured her that I no longer blame her. Forgiveness softens us and others. Now that I am an adult, I understand the position Mom was in. I don’t even blame my dad, because he was sick and didn’t know how to recover. I forgave him and have compassion for him."
well. By forgiving my mother for circumstances out of her control it has enabled us both to heal and love. My father passed when I was 23 and it took me almost as many years to forgive him. The forgiveness of his abuse has released me from his control that he once had over me physically and for years mentally and emotionally. My body, mind and soul are now free and living in peace and love. Deborah Livingston is the author of a just released memoir: Strand of Pearls, One Womans Journey to Light and Peace, on spiritual transformation. Deborah recounts her darkest adversities of childhood abuse, death, teenage tragedy and adult addiction. She leads the reader from darkness and plants the seeds of light, peace and love that is born within all. Deborah is a new author joining the Hay House 2012 I Can Do It Conference and is featured in the upcoming February, 2012 issue of Heathy Living Magazine.

Surrender
Looking for the place within Wanting so to feel Now is the time to begin To make each moment real
Open your heart to receive grace While going with the flow Once you find that inner place Who you are will know
By knowing you are so much more Then what the eye can see Time has come to explore Sit still and learn to be
That life is never ending The I AM will always be With love we are sending Our sprit to be free
Be fearless as you step outside From your comport zone Go to that place deep inside Where you are not alone
Surrender to the knowing Joy has always lived within This moment will start showing NOW is your new friend
Connect yourself with loving thoughts To all living things Behold the lessons to be taught Accept the peace it brings
Together through surrender A new earth we will build As we are shown the splender A prophecy is filled

Cop Shows, Compassion by Pat Wictor
and Forgiveness
incorporate Schopenhauer and Lennon's idea as best you can: to try to understand others' fears, worries, shortcomings, insecurities - all that makes them do things that need forgiveness. That's not to give others a free pass, but so that we don't approach tough situations with anger and resentment guiding us. Try it with your closest friends and family, and then extend it to others. As the comic strip character Pogo once said, "We have met the enemy, and he is us." If we are humble about our own shortcomings - our capacity to do harm to others - we might find a way to do what must be done, including handling life's disappointments and hurts, with forgiveness and not anger leading us.
I've been watching “NYPD Blue” systematically from Season 1 - I'm up to Season 9 right now. (My wife calls cop shows "soap operas for guys.") Part of what I love about the show is the character development, and the fact that all the protagonists are complex and deeply flawed. None more so than Detective Andy Sipowicz, whose struggles with alcoholism, intimacy, fatherhood, and loss make him a compelling and sympathetic anti-hero. The show constantly raises questions of forgiveness and accountability for the ways people hurt each other. Sipowicz isn't a very nice man, but he's a good man who sometimes does bad things. We forgive him his shortcomings, in part because we understand his suffering - it's the same as ours. Compassion through identification with others is the basis for our forgiveness. The sanskrit phrase that Schopenhauer loved so much was "Tat Tvam Asi" - literally "Thou art That." John Lennon may have translated it best: "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together." Not just because everything we do affects one another, but because we are ALL made of the same flawed, unstable, perishable material.

Running
in your best
hybrid mode by Mark Cucuzzella MD FAAFP
• If you are in all gas mode, your engine will run about 1.5 hours at a strong pace . . . then you are out of gas. • If you are mostly electric you can run all day, but maybe not so quickly. • If you are using the proper mix you will go quick and efficient for duration of your event, and you can even do some topping off along the way.
Putting one foot in front of the other comes easily. But, with a new focus on technique, many runners are trying to fine-tune their pace. Please allow me to share some of my own training and racing experience, and perhaps you too can follow some of these recommendation as you prepare for your own race. As you enter the week prior to the race here are a few visualizations to help you set your plan. Running your best marathon is part art, science, guts, faith in what you can do, and a little luck. Running your best 10k is mostly about fitness. The best analogy I can think of is this: if you have trained your body properly with the right mix of aerobic level training and some up tempo stuff in recent weeks, you have built your efficient hybrid engine ready to race the marathon. Many of you have driven in a Prius and watch the subtle shifts between gas and electric on the screen. You do not perceive these shifts. Your engine runs on gas, electric, or a mix- depending on the effort.
The glucose utilizing pathway is the gas. This is your stored glycogen and blood glucose (pasta meal and breakfast) – easy to access for ready energy. The fat utilizing pathway is the electric. In marathons you must be in hybrid until the last few miles. Hybrid is where your energy is coming from both sources. Many runners are in great “10k shape” (an all gas event), then run their marathon in the gas mode- and usually crash. Glycogen sparing strategy need not apply in races of less than an hour as long as you had a good pre-event meal to fill the tank. In marathons and ultrastop end fitness matters little and can only be applied very near the finish. Glucose gives 36 ATP per molecule, fat 460 ATP per molecule. You must tap into the fat burning tank. Now
You are starting the race with one gallon in the tank- assuming you have eaten a nice meal the night before with a breakfast top off. Healthy Living Magazine

you know how a bird can migrate 7000 miles without an energy bar. So how do you know you are running in your best hybrid mode? This is difficult because the sense is not as profound as aerobic/anaerobic. A slight increase from your optimal pace will switch you from hybrid to all gas without you realizing it, and the effects are felt miles later. Charging up hills early will tap your gas quickly. If you want to speed up early . . . don’t. Relax and maintain effort, not speed. You must rehearse a bit in training. I focus on relaxation and breathing. If I’m breathing one cycle to 5 steps, then I’m hybrid. If I’m breathing faster I’m using mostly glucose as fuel. Belly breathe– allow lower belly to blow up like a beach ball on inhalation and pull your belly button back to your spine on exhalation. Then you will fill the lower lung areas where oxygen exchange occurs. Notice the breathing efforts of those around you and many are rapid breathing- they tend to suffer somewhere past half way. Rehearse complete relaxation from the top down- eyes, jaw, shoulders, allow your legs to relax and extend behind you, relax and soften your knees and ankles. Find your own cue for this. If you use the Heart Rate Monitor in training strongly consider one during the event.
In a marathon, the last 3-4 miles you will be all gas to maintain the same speed as fatigue sets in. The breathing is usually on a 3 to 4 steps per breath cycle- that is OK. Still stay relaxed and use the cues that you have rehearsed to keep your form. Your heart rate is higher now. Speed up only when you can “smell the barn”, maybe after 20 miles. Land softly, especially on the early downhills. I run with a forefoot/midfoot landing harnessing elastic recoil. Focus on posture and hip extension. Use a slight forward lean from the ankles. I’m never sore after marathons now and feel I can keep doing them until I enter the retirement home. I won the Air Force Marathon in 2:38 four weeks ago and feel fine now for another effort. With good form it is “No pain . . . thank you”. Your shoes matter too. Be sure to make a strong consideration to not running in minimalist racing flats, unless you have trained substantially in them and adapted to a natural barefoot style gait. I advocate gradually continued on page 13 . . .

adapting all of your training in the more minimal and level shoes. If you relax your lower legs and load the springy tendons in your feet and Achilles, then these shoes with no heel elevation put you in perfect position to allow natural elastic recoil of plantar fascia, Achilles, calf muscles, and hip flexors. New research and runner’s experience is now making the case for running with a more efficient stride and questions modern running footwear. The evolving world of modern sports medicine is going back to the future too and rediscovering what evolution has taught us. Now a few extra ways to get from start to finish quicker on the same gallon. • If you can add a little gas along the way then you can go more into gas mode. This works a little at best. If running too fast you shunt all blood to working muscles and nothing digests. If you are in hybrid the early going you can continually add fuel- the key is not only the correct fuel, but the right pace. An energy gel every 25 minutes is easy to digest and tops off the tank. Carry them with you at the start. The weight is nothing compared to the benefit you will get. If you do the gels then you can drink water instead of the energy drinks which are often less predictable on the run. Marine Corps has a gel station at Mile 9, 13, and 23. Carry 2 gels at the start (one every 3-4 miles or so) and top-off along the way. • Maintain effort on uphill. Your pace will slow. You can easily use all your gas here if your effort increases. Shorten your stride, relax, and use your arms. Then allow gravity to take you down. The first hills in Arlington and Georgetown can feel “easy” but if run too hard can drain your gas quickly; so go easy up them. • If it is windy get behind a group. This can save lots of physical and mental energy. • If you are having a “bad patch” – try to refocus on relaxing, fuel a bit (sometimes a blood glucose drop triggers the sense of doom), and have faith in your training and race plan. Another nice trick is when you hit mile 21 it is not 5 miles to go, it is 4 and change. Mile 22 is 3 and change to go. Just run to the next mile marker and count them down one by one. Smile and enjoy the party in Crystal City. Healthy Living Magazine
This gives you some mental refreshment after crossing the lonely bridge from 20-22 miles. • Do not over drink water. This can lead to a dangerous condition called hypontremia and severe electrolyte imbalance. The fun of the marathon is that we are always learning and enjoying the adventure of it. I’ve done over 70 marathons now with a couple under 2:25 in my younger years (I just turned 45.) I’ve had the pleasure of running this race 20 times representing the US Air Force. My only misses were for military duties and a foot surgery many years ago. We learn from experience, taking chances, and occasional failures. My first marathon was the 1988 Marine Corps was 2:34, when I could run about 30 minutes for 10 kilometers. Twenty-three years later I hope to get near this time again and my current 10k is about 35 minutes. In the last 23 years I’ve run a marathon under 2:40 every year except for my year of medical internship when there was no time to find a race. Twenty-one of those years were under 2:35. I’ve learned a few things in 20 plus years on how to train and race efficiently and economically, but still there are uncertainties every time you line up. So relax, taper up, and seize the day. Mark is a Family Physician at Harpers Ferry Family Medicine and Associate Professor at West Virginia University School of Medicine. As a Lieutenant Colonel in the Air Force Reserves, he is coach and captain of their marathon team and designing programs to reduce running injuries in military personnel. His passion for health extends beyond the walls of the clinic into the medical home’s “backyard”- the trails and open space that create the arena for optimum wellness. Mark is thrilled to host Freedom’s Run and assist runners to set a goal, improve their health, and have fun. Mark also recently opened Two Rivers Treads- A Center for Natural Running and Walking in his hometown of Shepherdstown WV (pop 3000). The citizens of this small community are now learning the benefits of barefoot and flat footwear. trtreads.org

Vegans, Vegetarians by Phil Lempert
Healthy?
definitely takes a lot of careful planning and preparation. Vegan diets include whole grains, vegetables, fruits, and beans, all of which contain no cholesterol (only found in animal products), and are rich in fiber and nutrients. Vegans get their protein from the combination of legumes including, beans, tofu, and peanuts, and grains like rice, quinoa, corn, whole wheat breads and pastas; as well as nuts and seeds, like almonds, flax, cashews, sunflower seeds, brazil nuts and more. While vegetarians allow dairy products and sometimes eggs. Many of the foods listed above are also rich in heart healthy fats.
According to a study published by Vegetarian Times, 3.2 percent of U.S. adults or 7.3 million people follow a vegetarianbased diet. Approximately 0.5 percent or one million of those are vegans. Slightly fewer than twenty-three million people (about 10 percent of US adults) say they largely follow a vegetarianinclined diet. The popularity of these diets may be on the rise due to celebrities eating this way like Ellen DeGeneres, Sir Paul McCartney, Russell Simmons, Bill Clinton and more. Veganism is a few steps further than vegetarianism (some vegetarians eat dairy products, eggs and sometimes fish), and although the term was coined in 1944, the concept of eliminating all animal products can be traced back to ancient Indian and eastern Mediterranean cultures.
How do vegans get calcium? Leafy greens like broccoli, kale, collard greens, as well as tofu, sesame seeds, almonds, fortified juices and soymilk contain a significant amount of calcium. Vegetarians include calcium rich dairy products, and according to the American Heart Association, studies show that vegetarians absorb and retain more calcium from foods than non-vegetarians.
Vegetarianism was first mentioned by Pythagoras, around 500 BCE, the Greek philosopher and mathematician who promoted benevolence among all species, including humans. Followers of Buddhism and Hinduism are also advocates of vegetarianism, believing that humans should not inflict pain on other animals. Is a vegan diet nutritious? Yes, following a vegan diet can be very nutritious but
What about iron? Chickpeas, spinach, pinto beans, blackstrap molasses, and soy products contain iron (which is best paired with vitamin C rich foods for optimal absorption). Fortified foods, supplements or even nutritional yeast, provide vegans with B12, a nutrient to be aware of on a meat free diet. continued on page 16 . . .

said, vegetarian and certainly vegan diets are not for everyone!
And what about omega oils we get from fish and other marine sources? Vegans and vegetarians will opt for flax, chia seeds, or even hemp to get their fill of healthy omega-3s.
For more resources on a vegan or vegetarian diet visit the USDA. Phil Lempert is “The Supermarket Guru”, for more information and his free e-newsletter just log on to www.supermarketguru.com
Overall, a vegan or vegetarian diet can be very nutritious, but as mentioned can take a lot of planning. Another interesting fact about vegetarian diets that the American Heart Association points out is that many studies have shown that vegetarians seem to have a lower risk of obesity, coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and some forms of cancer.

What Magnesium Can Do
For Your Heart
by Rosalind Michahelles, D.Soc., Certified Health Counselor
magnesium; others say 1:1 is better because of the greater likelihood of magnesium deficiency in our modern diets.
Now confess: you thought magnesium was for constipation, not for your heart – right? Milk of Magnesia? Well, as The Magnesium Factor, by Seelig and Rosanoff, makes plain, magnesium actually plays a very big role in heart health. What do the authors say magnesium does for heart health? They explain in readable, layman’s terms but with careful reference to an extensive body of medical research how magnesium does the following: • Helps maintain heart rhythm and relaxes blood vessel muscles between contractions; • Facilitates turning off (and on) cholesterol production; • Contributes to the distribution of electrolytes, especially calcium, sodium, and potassium; • Helps prevent abnormal blood clotting; • Reduces adrenaline production, and hence stress; • Prompts vasodilation, which reduces blood pressure. How much magnesium do you need? Research quoted by these authors suggests that 500 mg/day of magnesium from food or supplements is a minimum requirement. Be sure to keep in mind that the balance with calcium is very important. An overload of calcium can lead to muscle cramps and stiffening of artery and heart cells. Some sources recommend a 2:1 ratio of calcium to Healthy Living Magazine
What are the most likely dietary sources of magnesium? Whole grains, dark green vegetables, nuts – especially almonds – seeds, figs, and bananas, as well as legumes and fish. To reduce your sodium intake and increase magnesium as well as other minerals, the authors recommend three kinds of commercially available salt: 1. Cardia Salt from Finland, which provides a strong dose of potassium; 2. Real Salt from Utah; and 3. Celtic Sea Salt from France, available in many Massachusetts grocery stores. A few words of caution about magnesium supplements; If you have kidney trouble, be sure to check with your doctor first. It’s best not to take magnesium supplements with meals as magnesium neutralizes the stomach acid you need for digestion – wait three hours. And what about the “Milk of Magnesia” effect? Apparently magnesium glycinate, gluconate, citrate and aspartate have less laxative effect. Do your heart a favor: give it a magnesium boost! Rosalind Michahelles, D.Soc., Certified Holistic Health Counselor, coaches people of all ages who want to explore changing what they eat in order to feel healthier.

The Primary Mover Today Id like to talk about the benefits of massage tip #3 . As we celebrate Valentines day, there is a symbol that we associate with this day of love and connection, a day we aspire to develop and nurture our special relationships, including ourselves. This is the symbol of the heart, so during this season we go to the importance of the physical heart, “the primary mover”. So how can massage benefit your heart? It can decrease your heart rate while increasing circulation. As your blood is pushed through your circulatory system your heart is able to slow down and pump more effectively. Massage induces a “relaxation response”, which lowers your heart rate, your respiratory rate and blood pressure, boosts your immune system and generally decreases the physical effects of stress.

carrying around. The less resistance to what has already happened frees your mind from the negative and makes room for the positive. You will begin to feel a shift in your attitude about the past events. They no longer seem as important. Identification and Intention You identify negative We only have room for behaviors that block Why not make your potential and set intentions for positive actions. Goals are more like a wish but an intention has soul behind it. In order to create change you must identify those behaviors that no longer support your growth. Once we are able to do this with complete honesty, you are now able to set intentions for new action steps. The reason for intentions is because they have soul behind them and create a far greater commitment. Writing them down gives you greater clarity.
We only have room for one thought at a time. Why not make it a good one. You must consciously monitor your thoughts; they are responsible for what you attract in your life. Healing and Helping The only way to get to step five is to build a foundation by doing the one thought at a time. previous steps, being sure that you have completed it a good one. them thoroughly. Step five is: You heal by reaching out and sharing your journey with others, especially those in need. By helping others you reinforce your own strength and knowledge. You will know that you are healing; you will feel the energy shift within. When we walk in our light, we are empowered. To strengthen yourself further, it is imperative to reach out to others and teach them what you have learned, to help them find their authentic voice. What you give out to the Universe, you shall receive back.
Thoughts Negative thinking causes your unhappiness; to put it simply, you are feeling badly because you are thinking badly. But remember, you have the power and the ability to decide how anybody or anything will affect you. Step four is an affirmative statement of our control.

on an accidental swig of sour milk. You know something isn’t right with the milk, but you swallow it anyway. The message from the smell might hit your brain, your throat may tighten, and you might run to the sink to force it out. Our bodies react to trespass, sometimes violently; possibly shutting down functions or trying to purge doses of something it determines to be toxic. To protect. To survive. However, endocrine disrupting compounds do not enter the body through gulps or large doses, but subtly, as miniscule trespassers. They are able to interact inside us without sounding off alarms. The Breast Cancer Fund describes sophisticated endocrine disruptors as creating devastating effects at infinitesimally small levels of exposure, especially during early critical windows of vulnerability.
If microwaving, use microwave safe dishes, not plastics.
Rigorous research is needed to continue to understand how endocrine disruptors are implicated in interfering with our hormonedriven processes. We need to understand why breast development and menstruation in our daughters is occurring at a much younger age. Or how other disruptors are suspect in interfering with metabolism and contributing to obesity. How everyday endocrine disrupting compounds may interfere with the performance of certain chemotherapy agents. It is easier to place blame on singular causes — like tobacco causing lung cancer. We need to shift our thinking and understand that multiple exposures from many different types of chemicals is just as dangerous; it isn’t always the dose that makes the poison. It’s possible to change our thinking.

Weight Loss
by Mark Mincolla
Two tbsp. of oil (preferably olive) Two tsp. of butter max Weight gain/loss has more to do with the mind than the body. The body follows the mind. The University of Pittsburgh Study recently found that by visualizing yourself overeating throughout the day you will lower your dopamine hormone production in the mid brain while increasing your seratonin in the prefrontal cortex leading to a lowering of your food consumption/calorie intake. Visualize yourself being full by picturing yourself before each meal eating 20 heaping tablespoons of mashed potatoes with oozing butter and your brain will tell your body that it is fulfilled!
According to the CDC women with a waist of 35 plus inches are overweight. Men with a waist of 40 plus inches are overweight. BMI, or Body Mass Index is another criteria for determining whether you are overweight BMI = dividing your weight by height in inches 18.5 is underweight 18.5-24.9 is normal 25.0-29.9 is overweight 30.00 plus is obese The only way to safely lose weight and lower negative health risk factors associated with being overweight or obese is to consume fewer calories than you burn and engage in aerobic exercise for 300 minutes per week at a moderate to intense pace. Consume an abundance of low sugar, low starch, fresh fruits and vegetables.

What is Chinese
Herbal Medicine?
by Marcie Griffith and Bethany Hauch
Chinese Herbs work with your acupuncture treatments to address the underlying issues causing your health issues. Chinese Herbal Medicine (CHM) and Acupuncture together make up what we refer to as "Traditional Chinese Medicine." In China, historically, the herbal medicine was actually the mainstay of treatment, and acupuncture was a complementary modality. CHM works on the same principles as acupuncture to correct whatever imbalances are causing your health issues. In the simplest terms, all health issues are caused from too much energy in a particular system, too little energy, or stuck energy. The herbs (plant, animal, and mineral products) each exert an effect on particular systems within the body to correct these pathologies. Based on your Traditional Chinese Medicine diagnosis, we prescribe herbs to treat your unique condition.
work the best for your health condition and also for your lifestyle. Chinese Herbal Medicine is a safe and effective treatment modality. We order all of our herbs from GMP-compliant companies and pharmacies with extensive quality control testing and tracking systems. We also take your medications into account when prescribing herbs, and will tell you if CHM is not a good fit for you based on the pharmaceutical medications you are taking. In most cases, CHM is a good complement to your Western treatments.
Chinese herbs are taken in a formula of 6-15 herbs working in synergy with one another. Unlike Western herbal treatments, Chinese herbs are prescribed together so that their actions can enhance each other's positive effects. This also allows us to custom tailor herbal treatments for each individual patient.
We highly recommend discussing Chinese Herbal Medicine with your practitioner as an adjunct to your acupuncture treatments, or as a single treatment on its own. We particularly encourage CHM treatment for digestive disorders, women's health problems, recovery from illness, and respiratory issues.

All About Beans
Inexpensive, Healthy and Nutritious by Phil Lempert
Varieties
Besides being delicious and versatile, virtually all types of beans are nutrient powerhouses. Darker-colored beans are richest in heart-healthy, cancer-protective antioxidants, but all beans are beneficial to those looking to improve the nutrient density of their meals; rich in protein (about 7 to 15g), folic acid, magnesium, and protective phytochemicals. Most beans are also high in both soluble and insoluble fiber, and slowly digested carbohydrates, with a gentler, even beneficial, effect on blood-sugar.
Kidney Beans are large; almost 3/4 inch, have a definitive kidney shape and are nearly maroon in color. These are the beans to use in chili because they're hearty, and take well to spices. Cooking time: 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Light Red Kidney Beans are similar to their darker relative and are the bean for the Southern dish, red beans and rice. Cooking time: 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Beans are especially filling and satisfying, even though they're fairly low in calories, (100 to 125 calories per half-cup serving). Hearty and toothsome, beans closely match meat's nutrition and flavor profile, without the accompanying dose of saturated fat, and for a fraction of the price. Cooking dried beans from scratch gives you the firmest texture and best flavor, and it's easy to do with a little advance planning. But there's no denying that canned beans are wonderfully convenient (compare soaking, cooking, and seasoning beans to buying precooked canned beans), and you're more likely to eat beans regularly if there are canned beans in your cupboard – but read those ingredient labels carefully as some of the canned varieties may add extra, unnecessary ingredients like salt, and even in some instances pork fat and always look for BPA free cans!
Pinto (Pink) is the staple of Mexican cooking, and is a pinkish-mauve color that turns brownish when cooked. Some variations are mottled. Pintos look like brown medium ovals. Pintos are favored for whole or refried beans in burritos and tacos. Cooking times vary from 1 to 2 hours depending on size. Special note on Refried Beans or frijoles refritos: Refried beans begin with onions and garlic sautĂŠed in lard or oil, to which spoonfuls of cooked pinto beans are added, mashed, and cooked until they are thicker than mashed potatoes. Sometimes a little broth or water is added. The intriguing thing is that they are not re-fried at all. One theory for this misnomer is that in Mexican Spanish, "re" is a way to emphasize doneness, such as these beans are well-done or cooked thoroughly. They are not, however, fried two times. continued on page 31 . . .

baked beans. They belong to the haricot bean (white bean) family, and cook in 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
Cranberry or Roman Beans are a favorite in Italian recipes. These medium mottled tan and red beans are oval in shape, take to spices well, and are very tender with modest cooking time 45 to 60 minutes.
Great Northern Beans are another relative of the haricot bean (white bean) family but larger than navy beans yet offer a similar mild white bean taste that is great in soups and stews and in the classic French dish, cassoulet. Cooking time: 45 to 60 minutes.
Garbanzo or Chickpeas, popular in Middle East cuisine, are the basis for hummus, the bean spread spiked with garlic and olive oil. They're an imperfect round beige color and give both a nutlike flavor and firm texture. Use whole in soups or salads or grind up cooked beans for hummus or for frying for falafel balls. Modest cooking time of 30 minutes to 1 hour. Skins should be discarded because they're difficult to digest. Black-eyed Peas are the ones to bring luck into your life on New Year's Day as the Southern custom asserts. These beans are white with black dots and have a light very smooth texture. Cooking time: 30 to 60 minutes.
Limas are plump, slightly curved beans that are pale colored and come in two sizes: small baby lima and white with a creamy smooth texture or slightly larger butter beans that are pale green to white. Both are delicious alone or added to soups or casseroles. Cooking time: 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
Beans are (from left to right, top to bottom): red lentils, black beans, pinto beans, French green lentils, split peas, navy beans, garbanzo beans, mung beans, and green lentils.
How to Choose Dried beans should look even in color, shape and size. It's important to rinse them before soaking to determine if there are any stray pebbles or dirt that escaped the package. Beans that look wrinkled or misshapen should be avoided. Soak dry beans according to directions, usually several hours to overnight, and cook completely from 1/2 to 2 hours. Salt after cooking to avoid toughening. Once cooked, they can be stored in the refrigerator for several
Black or Turtle Beans are medium sized black oval beans, that are popular in Caribbean cooking and adapt well to South and Central American dishes for which a heartier, earthier, smoother bean is desired. Cooking time: 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Navy Beans are not navy blue as one would expect, but small white ovals that add a mild flavor to soups and salads and can be used in Healthy Living Magazine

days and added to salads, rice, pasta, or stews as desired. Canned Beans can have a tremendous amount of sodium, from 140 to 500 mg for a half-cup serving, rinse canned beans thoroughly with cold water before using them to eliminate extra (but not all) of the sodium. In addition to high quantities of added salt, even low salt versions may contain additives or preservatives-
read labels, all that is necessary to preserve cooked beans in cans are the beans, water, and salt. Beans are good for your digestive system and cardiovascular system as well as overall health, SupermarketGuru suggests you go out and try a new type of bean!

Baked
Chickpeas Ingredients 2 (15 oz) cans chickpeas, drained 2 Tbs extra virgin olive oil 1 tsp paprika 2 tsp ground cumin ¼ tsp cayenne pepper ½ tsp fresh ground black pepper ½ tsp Kosher salt
Instructions Preheat the oven to 450° F. The first step and most important steps are to drain and then dry the chickpeas. I place them in a salad spinner and then roll them in a clean kitchen towel to get rid of as much liquid as possible. Put the chick peas in a zip lock bag and add the olive oil, paprika, cumin, cayenne pepper and black pepper. Shake the chick peas gently until they are coated evenly in the spices and oil. Next pour the contents onto a sheet pan and sprinkle on the kosher salt evenly and bake for 45 minutes turning occasionally and until they are crispy. Remove the chick peas from the oven and serve in a small dish.

Fake it

When I mention to people that I am a Laughter Yoga Leader they give me a funny look and a chuckle. “What is Laughter Yoga?” they automatically ask. I explain that it’s a style of yoga that incorporates deep diaphragmatic breathing (pranayama) Experts have with laughter exercises. I go proven on to say that that our instead of it body does being considered not recognize a mind-body the difference technique; it is between actually a bodypretend mind technique. The basic premise laughter behind Laughter from the Yoga (Hasya authentic one. Yoga) is that one can fake laughter and still gain the health benefits as if one was actually laughing. Experts have proven that our body does not recognize the difference between pretend laughter from the authentic one. Our body only knows to respond to the movements and gestures of laughter and innately produces a cascade of healing and “feel good” anti-stress hormones. Therefore, the slogan of “Fake it ‘til you make it” has become a popular mantra of Laughter Yoga.

depression, stress, dementia, fatigue, stroke, obesity, etc. Ongoing researches in this field are currently being done all over the world. Recently in the U.S, Dr Andrew Weil, Director of Integrative Medicine at University of Arizona and leading author of health and healing books, had recommended Laughter Yoga and had stated that he will be doing his own research to learn more about the benefits of Laughter Yoga.
There are over 5,000 laughter clubs all over the world. It’s so contagious that it is sweeping the nation. Laughter is a universal language that breaks so many barriers. Last December, I did a workshop for a large group of 50 Chinese seniors in Quincy. We only needed a translator for approximately one fourth of the time because they eventually knew to follow my lead. These fun loving seniors and I had a great time.
In 1995, Dr Madam Kataria developed Laughter Yoga in Mumbai, India. He was inspired by the research done by Dr. Lee Berk that had proven that laughter does have many health benefits. Another inspiration was Norman Cousin’s use of humor to cure himself of his debilitating and crippling disease. The many health benefits of laughter are being taken seriously by many experts. The following are some of the mental/emotional, as well as physical conditions that benefited from regular doses of hearty laughter: high blood pressure, diabetes, pain, cancer, low self esteem, Healthy Living Magazine

Exercise of the Month:
The Pretzel
The pretzel is one of the most popular and difficult exercises in The Balance Barre repertoire. When done correctly, it strengthens the arms while sculpting muscles in the hips, back and seat area.
To perform this exercise, sit under the bar facing forward with the hips square to the bar. Bend the knees at a 45-degree angle and place one leg in front and one leg behind. In this position, reach up with both hands, grab the bar using underhand grips, and lift the back leg off the floor. Start with a series of small lifts, (about 1") 10-15 times, then press the knee back while leg remains lifted for the same count. You can also lift for 1" and press back for 1" for an amazing workout for the hip, lower back and seat muscles. To repeat, return to a resting position, switch legs by placing the back leg forward and vice versa, grasp the bar and lift the back leg slightly off the floor. Benefits • Tightens and defines the seat muscles • Tones and slims down the sides of the waist The Balance Studio offers Yoga, Barre and Pilates classes located at 15 Depot Court Cohasset MA. for more log onto www.balancestudiocohasset.com

Looking
The month of February brings the celebration of Valentines Day. Let’s face it; this has always been a chick holiday! Unfortunately, the main focus of the holiday has always been “romantic love.” As women, many of us have used the day as a misguided barometer to measure the amount of love in our lives. Therefore, we tend to add a lot of pressure to our emotional state concerning our romantic attachments or non attachment. For those women who have a date for this holiday, the risk of disappointment can be even greater when high expectations of long stemmed red roses, sappy sentimental cards, or romantic elegant dinners are often not met. Whether you are 16, or 66, the holiday can leave many women feeling disappointed, alone or unloved. What is love? Well, the dictionary uses simple words to describe love, such as devotion, respect, caring, and affection. Interestingly, a healthy loving relationship does not have to be romantic love. There are many ways to fill your life and your heart with love. Are you looking for love in all the wrong places? Look no further, in the words of the 90’s rock band Tesla, “love is all around you, love is knocking outside your door.” So you question, where can I find all this love . . . I’m glad you asked. There are lots of opportunities of where, who, and how you can discover or create fulfilling love relationships in your life. 1. Family: It doesn’t matter if your family consists of siblings, one parent, or a crazy aunt; they are your family and your history. They have been there from the beginning. While some of us are blessed with a natural
closeness to our family members, others may have an urge to run for the hills to avoid family functions. Nevertheless, our families are a starting point for lessons on love and relationships, focusing on acceptance. 2. Elderly: We all know someone who is older and perhaps lives alone, or in a nursing home. In today’s busy world our elders are often over looked. It is such a pleasure to spend time with them and enjoy their slower calmer pace. They are a wealth of knowledge, and stories. We sometimes forget that they have experienced many of the things we are going through and have wonderful words of wisdom to give us. They offer us love in the form of their friendship and gratitude for a little company over a cup of tea. 3. Children: When was the last time you ran barefoot through the grass, caught fire flies, or had a bubble gum blowing contest? Well, if you can’t remember, then it is time you made a play date with your favorite little person. Children are always good for a laugh and more importantly they help you to reawaken your child within. They give us simply, the love of life. 4. Animals: Only our pets can offer us unconditional love that is not attached to buying the latest and greatest play station game, or making the worlds best dinner. All that our four legged friends request from us is to love them in return. Amazingly, a belly rub and a walk together will give you a lifetime of their undying devotion. They teach us the true meaning of unconditional and loyal love. 5. Friends: It is our friends that know us better than we know ourselves. They know
For Love!

At the Magical Moon Foundation they "Nurture and Empower children with cancer." When children come to the Magical Moon Foundation, they’re knighted into a fellowship of brave young knights. They soon join their friends in a united mission to build a healthy Earth Kingdom where children won’t get cancer. It is the mission of The Magical Moon Foundation to support children and families faced with cancer. While there are many wonderful organizations that support cancer research, the MMF is unique in being a nonprofit organization that focuses on empowering children to use their inner strengths to manifest miracles in their lives. The magic behind the Magical Moon begins by encouraging children to find the warrior within. Rather than kids fighting cancer, they become brave young Knights turning their struggles into motivation. Each child becomes part of a fellowship of Rainbow Warriors with a united mission to change the world in honor of their cancer. They’re “knighted” in a circle of knights and forge unbreakable bonds with other children in the same battle. Throughout their journey, our children grow stronger and more centered, and they build lasting legacies through their courage and resilience. At the Magical Moon, we feel honored to be in the presence of these young Light Beings who are changing the world and us.

when to comfort us, encourage us, and even when to tell us when we are wrong. A true friend will offer her advice, but not be upset if we decide not to follow it. Friends are the family we choose. They demonstrate their love through their understanding and support. 6. Charity: Reaching out to others in need is a true act of love. Helping those less fortunate than yourself brings an instant awareness of your own life’s blessings. If you give of yourself, do it with sincerity, not guilt or ego. Giving your time and energy to a cause you believe in creates a self worth within your heart that has nothing to do with romance and everything to do with humanity and compassion. 7. Angels: That’s right, I believe in angels. I have found that those who also believe in these spiritual beings can feel their love and guidance. When times are difficult, everyone could use a little help from a special someone. Read and study about angels and try to connect with your own. They offer us love through spiritual strength.

8. SELF: It maybe time you rediscover yourself. Soul search and reconnect with your desires, needs, and dreams. Be adventurous and try a new class, sport, or hobby. Allow your self the nurturing and healing touch of a massage, manicure, or reiki session. Give yourself the gift of quiet time to meditate, read, or take a walk. Learn to enjoy your own company and you will never feel alone. Be your own best friend. This will bring you the greatest love of all…yourself! This Valentines Day, I wish you a heart and life full of love.

Make a Healthy
by Andrea S. Cohen
Heart
Heart health has been on my mind quite a bit this past year. I had a close family member diagnosed with two complex, co-occurring heart conditions that for many months confounded even the brilliant and curious team of doctors at MA General Hospital. These conditions were causing inflammation and hardening of the heart and eventually led to a wonderfully successful surgery that has been lifechanging for the recipient. The reward for participating in this year long journey is an awesome appreciation for my own ticker and a strong desire to take on a more vigorous role in its care and wellbeing. The guiding principles that evolved are a combination of my personal experience in conjunction with my work as a mind-body nutrition coach. Our heart, along with our arteries, veins, and blood, makes up our cardiovascular system. The heart pumps oxygenated blood from our lungs to the rest of our body. Then it pumps our oxygen-depleted blood back through our body to oxygenate and continue the flow. If fatty deposits build up in our arteries restricting blood flow, (atherosclerosis), we are at greater risk of heart disease. Atherosclerosis can be of concern elsewhere in the body too. Wherever there is restricted blood flow, tissue damage can occur. For years, high cholesterol was considered the largest life-style risk for these fatty deposits.
Healthy Living Magazine
Today there is a growing awareness around the different types of cholesterol. · Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) is the cholesterol that oxidizes and is believed to cause much of the damage in our cardio system · High-density lipoprotein (HDL) is the cholesterol that is believed to protect against heart disease
High blood pressure can also lead to damage inside the arteries. Here are some things to consider if you are inquisitive about lifestyle modifications for heart health. A. Eat more antioxidant rich foods; extra virgin olive oil, soy oil, peanuts, brazil nuts, strawberries, apples, oranges, sweet potatoes, broccoli, kale, barley, brown rice, oatmeal, wheat germ, sunflower seeds. B. Eat more whole foods that are high in fiber (fiber helps to move food and waste through our system); beans, lentils, split peas, rolled oats (instant is not as high in fiber), fruit, ground flaxseed. C. Eat more unsaturated fats; extra virgin olive oil, evening primrose oil, nuts and seeds, flaxseed oil. Keep in mind that the American Medical Association, American Heart Association, and the Food and Drug Administration all recommend low to no intake of trans fats. continued on page 42 . . .

D. Stress less; daily relaxation techniques can help decrease the formation of free radicals (not as cool as they sound!). Free radicals can cause more LDL cholesterol oxygenation. E. Move your body; exercise helps you to maintain a body weight that supports your best health, can be a great stress release, and lowers blood pressure levels. Be sure to check your blood pressure on BOTH arms. If one reading is significantly higher than the other this can indicate a blockage and give you vital information. Be aware of your LDL cholesterol, most doctors recommend to keep it under 100. If you are pre-diabetic, you are at high risk for heart disease. Avoiding foods with added sugars and enjoying more proteins and whole grains can help to stabilize your Healthy Living Magazine
blood sugar. In summary, eat more healthy fats, whole grains, and high fiber foods; this will help keep the cholesterol in your intestinal system and out of your blood stream. Break a sweat! If you do not have an exercise routine, twenty minutes a day is a splendid start. And always remember, although we give love from our hearts, we must also give love to our hearts. The benefits are life-changing. Andrea S. Cohen’s passionate and dedicated food journey began over twenty years ago while reading the bestselling 1971 book, Diet for a Small Planet. While learning about the global food industry, she became aware that food was so much greater than just calories, taste, or even family tradition. As she began to comprehend the social, political, and economic significance of food production and distribution, Andrea felt compelled to make vast changes in her life that continue to resonate deep into her personal and professional life today.

Things to Know Before
Starting a Business In addition, don’t overlook the exit strategy at the beginning. Do you want your children to take over the company? Do you want to sell it? It’s critical to think about these questions from the start, as the building blocks of your company (such as legal structure) should vary depending on your preferred final outcome.
by Nellie Akalp
This post originally appeared on the American Express OPEN Forum, where Mashable regularly contributes articles about leveraging social media and technology in small business.
An entrepreneur’s life can be a real roller coaster. Having started a few businesses in my career, I thought it would be useful to highlight some of the hard-won experience I’ve learned throughout the process — the kind of advice I wish I’d known when I started my first, or even second, business.
2. Don’t Get Stuck in the Past My husband and I launched our first online legal document filing service in 1997, and then re-entered the market with our second company in 2009. While our previous experience certainly gave us a leg up the second time around, we soon realized the market landscape had changed dramatically since our first company. We had to stop dwelling on previous competitors, customer needs and service expectations and write a brand new playbook.

1. Don’t Underestimate a Business Plan If you’re not seeking outside funding at the start, it’s tempting to forgo writing out a formal business plan. However, taking the time to write out your business plan, forecasts and marketing strategy is a particularly effective way to hone your vision. All planning should center around two essential questions: How is my business serving a particular need or pain point, and does this represent a major market opportunity?
The marketplace and your business plan are living entities; they’re continually in flux. Whether it’s your first company or fifth in a given market, you’ve got to keep asking: What do we need to do today?

3. Don’t Hire Friends I form bonds quickly and make fast friends with people around me. While I generally consider this a positive trait, it has created some difficult situations when running a business. At times I have been reluctant to let employees go even though I know it’s not a good fit. If things aren’t working out between an employee and

The April Deadline Approaches by Pat Masters
Some tips to help you choose a tax preparer
return. Good preparers will ask to see your records and receipts and will ask you multiple questions.
Most of us want the best value for our dollars when having our tax returns prepared. Now, this doesn’t mean the cheapest or most expensive . . . it means . . . 1 Check preparer’s qualifications. As of 1/1/2011, all paid tax return preparers are required to have a Preparer Tax Identification Number (PTIN). If you do not see a PTIN on the bottom right hand corner of page 2 OR if you see the words “self- prepared’ at the bottom of page 2 . . . get a new preparer!! 2 Check preparer’s history. Check to see the preparer’s licensing status with the state board of accountancy for certified public accountants, the state bar association for attorneys and the IRS Office of Enrollment for enrolled agents… no one else is licensed. The new RTRP’s ’s (Registered Tax Return Preparers) do not become licensed until after they pass the RTRP test and are notified by the IRS.
7 NEVER EVER sign a blank tax return OR e-file form. 8 Review the entire return before signing. Make sure you understand everything and are comfortable with the accuracy of the return. Although the preparer signs the return and includes his/her PTIN, you are responsible for the accuracy of every item on your return. FYI, if an error is found after the return is filed, the return can be amended. 9 The preparer must give you a signed copy of your tax return. Pat Masters, Enrolled Agent owner of TaxLady EA. 781 293.1040 Pat has been preparing tax returns for over 45 years and passed the EA exam in the Fall of 1992. She prepares individual, business, corporate, estate,trust and non-profit returns as well as year round bookkeeping services (she has been the full-charge bookkeeper for several firms in both MA and NH).
3 Ask about fees. Avoid preparers who base their fee on a percentage of your refund OR claim they can obtain larger refunds than other preparers. Always make sure any refund due to you is sent directly to you or deposited into your bank account. 4 If your preparer does not offer electronic filing . . . get a new preparer. E-filing is mandatory effective 1/1/2012. 5 Make sure the preparer is accessible. If you cannot contact your tax preparer (or the company) after the return has been filed OR after the April due date, you might want to get a new preparer as the IRS and MA DOR send notices . . . year round !! 6 Provide all records and receipts needed to prepare your Healthy Living Magazine

startup, it’s time to put feelings aside and trust that the person will find a better situation elsewhere. Unfortunately, I’ve also learned that people can let you down, ranging from laziness to fraud. I still believe that faith in people is a good thing. However, blind faith can bring trouble.
6. Don’t Be Afraid to Fail Soccer coach Sven-Goran Eriksson once said, “The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.” An entrepreneur’s path is uncharted and sometimes a little bumpy. It’s easy to get stressed or downright panicked, but you cannot let fear prevent you from following your dreams. Think of it this way: the sooner you fail, the closer you are to discovering what works.
4. Don’t Dive in Without a Plan Just like the business plan, it’s critical to think through any initiative you wish to launch. When you’re in the midst of startup fever, it’s easy to get wrapped up with every new idea. However, be careful of losing focus. Moving forward is critical for any startup, and constantly switching directions can impede this forward progress. With each new idea, step back and think how it fits into your company’s overall goal and vision, then create a plan for how to make it happen.
Conclusion While you can’t guarantee the outcome of any new venture, you can stack the odds in your favor. These are six lessons I’ve learned over time and countless others are out there. If you’re open, you can gain wisdom from everything you try and gather insight from fellow entrepreneurs. Nellie Akalp CEO & Co-Founder of CorpNet. Empowering female entrepreneur who loves helping small businesses succeed through her small business. Westlake Village, CA www.corpnet.com
5. Don’t Fall Into a Discount Trap 1/2 OFF At the beginning, too many young for a companies feel the pressure to heavily Limited discount their Time prices in order to win business. While Only!! customer acquisition is important, attracting customers at unsustainable price levels will just result in a race to the bottom. After all, raising your prices on goods and certain services can be a tricky proposition. I’ve learned that you’re better off in the long run focusing on how to bring more value to customers, rather than simply slashing your prices.

Healthy Small Business Promotions by Ginny Just
Tip of the Month
unusual or noteworthy of late? Say you own an organic bakery and you have donated a portion of your baked goods to local food pantries. Or you have a chiropractic practice where you are giving free screenings to your community. What about a hair dresser that donates their services to returning veterans?
Small businesses need to promote what they do. In a tough economy, that is often the very last thing that a small business actually does. Why? Because we all fear that we will not have the money to do those promotions with other expenses. The fact is . . . a bad economy is just when you have to promote your business the most! Too many businesses have died during these economic times. If you are still in business, we congratulate you! And you wouldn’t want this question asked of your business: “Are they still around?” These tips may help you decide what kind of promotions could work best for you.
If you do something that helps others in your community it is a great way to let your world know about your business and you. And if it is newsworthy it shouldn’t cost you a dime!

Changes and
How to Make the Most of Them
1. Easier and More Streamlined Navigation. The first thing you'll notice with the new Twitter is that navigating has become a lot easier and more streamlined. With just one click on any update, you can now get all the information you need from a tweet. 2 and 3. Twitter Brand Pages and Embeddable Tweets. Evidently, one of the biggest changes coming for businesses is Twitter brand pages alongside the new embeddable tweets function. While only 21 brands were given access to creating their page, it is said to soon be accessible to everyone else. Healthy Living Magazine
4. The New, Much Faster TweetDeck. Another equally significant announcement from Twitter is that the new TweetDeck has been unveiled. As a heavy TweetDeck user myself, there is one most important improvement I see right away: TweetDeck is no longer an Adobe Air App, which means it is less sluggish to use. 5. The New iPhone and Android Apps for Twitter. Twitter's new mobile clients for Android and iPhone have been a huge success. The experience, much like the new Twitter.com, has been greatly improved and streamlined for you.

Awaken
by Catherine Meunier
To be awake while asleep Is an easy task to do Many answers will run deep When questioning what is true
Each moment is a treasure When first you see Wealth beyond measure It is meant to be
See that what is Belong to the NOW To each other give An unconditional vow
To be asleep while awake Is the way of most The truth is always at stake As reality is lost
Help those not awake To see their own light Then we will make The earth become bright
To help Mother Earth Become all she might Have faith in the worth To do what is right
How may we see With eyes wide shut This is not meant to be Step out of your rut
Share all your love With those who except Thank all from above With the deepest respect
By closing the mind Removing it's clutter We still have time To save one another
Live life in the NOW It is all you have All angels will vow To help us be saved
No purpose is served While staying asleep The more you observe Your freedom to keep
Awaken to NOW Step out of the dream Being present is how The light will then beam
Start looking around Accept from the knowing Your soul will be found As your light is growing
The ego has plans To be in control The heart now demands To nurture your soul
