From the Publisher’s Desk
Joe Korba
It’s almost my favorite time of year—cooler weather, craft pumpkin brews, horror movies on television—on the run up to Halloween. I love the fall and I’m pretty sure my coworkers concur. We are going to have our fun Halloween edition coming out next month and, of course, our 30th anniversary edition in early October. I hope you all enjoy all of the festivals, fairs, and other fall activities being held throughout the next couple of months, including the Northampton Street Fair on September 12 on Main Street in the borough. As always, I also hope you enjoy this edition as we look forward to presenting our annual “Arts” issue later this month. BL U E MO U N TA IN

Submitted by LYNN HAAB Once again this summer, St. John’s Lutheran Church of Slatington was “home” to many community children and their caregivers for breakfast each weekday morning.

Meet The Staff
With the Northampton Street Fair soon approaching, we’re focused on community life this issue. What is your hometown? What was your favorite part of growing up there? Joe Korba, Associate Publisher: I grew
Catherine Stroh, Publishing Assistant:
Danielle Tepper, Editor: I was born
Tony Pisco, Art Director: I am from Bethel, a very small town right along Interstate 78 in northwestern Berks County. I have a lot of fond memories of growing up there, from playing on the baseball and soccer teams to walking to school or heading to my Pop Pop’s nearby house to go swimming.
up in Weatherly, a tiny town in northern Carbon County. I took it for granted at the time, but the sense of community in such a small borough is something I really appreciate in hindsight. It was a place where I was allowed to ride my bike to the park when I was in elementary school and my parents never had to worry. There was never a shortage of other kids to hang out with; I have a lot of fond memories of camping out with friends by the dam behind my old house. and raised in Middletown, NJ right across the Navesink River from Red Bank, where I attended elementary school. The one thing I remember most from my childhood is water—from going fishing with my dad to watching the boats pull into the marina at sunset, visiting Jenkinson’s aquarium, fireworks over the river, and trips to the beach before I was even old enough to swim. I’m proud to be a shore kid—and I miss it terribly.
My hometown is Slatington. It may have a bad reputation in some people’s eyes, but I think it was a great place to grow up. Everything was within walking distance; the Walnut Street Playground, the Northern Lehigh Pool, the canal, the Lehigh River, all the trails, and Galios—the prime location for candy and ice cream!
Donna Bachman, Accounting Manager: I grew up in Slatington. My family had a pass for the Slatington (now Northern Lehigh) Swimming Pool where we spent the majority of our summers; it’s great to hear this is still a family tradition for many residents.

LCCC Kicks Off 50th Anniversary Celebration
Submitted by DENISE REIFINGER On Friday, August 21, Lehigh Carbon Community College (LCCC) kicked off its 50th anniversary with an aerial photo of more than 200 faculty, staff, and administrators shaped into a giant “50” on the lawn of the Schnecksville campus. Fall classes started at LCCC on Saturday, August 22, so the celebration also served as a farewell to summer as well as the formal start of a year-long recognition of the college’s history. In 1966, the State Board of Education approved the formal application of what was then known as Lehigh County Community College. Highlights for the year will include community outreach events, national speakers, recognition of 50 notable alumni, friends, and events, and a commencement ceremony in May 2016 in the PPL arena in downtown Allentown, where the college first held classes. For additional information on the 50th anniversary, email CollegeRelations@lccc.edu or call 610-799-1105.

Zucchini Parmesan Crisps
Cooking with
Recipe courtesy of foodnetwork.com.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium zucchinis (about a pound) 1 tbsp olive oil 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese 1/4 cup plain dry breadcrumbs 1/8 tsp salt Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
Catherine
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 450ໍF. Coat a baking sheet with cooking spray. Slice zucchini into ¼-inch thick rounds. In a medium bowl, toss zucchini rounds with olive oil. In a small bowl, combine Parmesan, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper. Dip each zucchini round in mixture, coating evenly, then place on baking sheet. Bake zucchini until browned and crisp, 25 to 30 minutes. Serve immediately. I feel like I’m cheating by featuring such an easy recipe, but that’s what’s so great about it—it is so quick and simple. This is my go-to veggie side dish, or even just a main course. It’s also pretty healthy, but I guess not if you smother the zucchini in ranch dressing like I do. (Go ahead, smother it.) The original recipe suggests two medium zucchini but I think that may be too much. One good-sized zucchini would probably suffice; this isn’t the type of food you’ll want to eat leftover. The original recipe also doesn’t say to, but I’d suggest flipping the zucchini halfway through your bake time for even brownness. The outside gets nice and crispy, but the inside still has a soft gooeyness to it, as zucchini often does. Right now I am obsessed with this particular produce and in search of the perfect zucchini boat recipe. If anyone has one they’d like to share with me, please email me at cstroh@idpcreative.com.
Good luck and enjoy!

Schweyer Collecting School Supplies For Allentown
Submitted by JACK ELIBER State Rep. Peter Schweyer, D-Lehigh, announced that he is collecting donations of school supplies for students and teachers in the Allentown School District. Schweyer said people can drop off items from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday at his district office at 1912 S. 4th St., Allentown. "Allentown’s parents want to make sure that their children have a great school year. But for far too many of our families, purchasing even the most basic school supplies is a financial hardship," Schweyer said. "Our teachers will often step up but they can only do so much. I invite folks to join me in helping our students get off on the right foot in this new school year." For a list of needed items or for more information, call Schweyer’s district office at 610-791-6270 or visit www.pahouse.com/Schweyer.

Northern Lehigh Pool Manager Retiring Submitted by SAL SOMMA Farrell Snyder, who has been involved with the pool for 31 seasons and 25 years as manager, is retiring at the end of this season. Farrell not only was the manager but also performed the general maintenance including opening up and closing down the pool each year. Farrell, along with his wife Audrey, did all the scheduling of the students for the life guards, snack stand, office, and maintenance. Everyone will surely miss them as they were the face of the pool. In addition to the Snyders, the secretary and treasurer are retiring after many years of service to the pool. The pool will be also losing the grant writer and communication person as he is relocating this year. Unless a new team comes forward to run the pool or a municipality takes over the pool, the pool will not open next year. The consequence will be that there will not be a swim team, swim lessons, aerobics, swim parties, or lifeguard training. Also, the pool employs about 20 Northern Lehigh students each year during the summer for the various position who will lose their summer employment. Since the pool was opened in 1963, the pool has
been run by volunteers from the community. Over the last several years, the board has tried to attract new members without success. Let us hope that the Northern Lehigh pool can open next year under new leadership!

The Beatitudes Matthew 5:1-12 ( The first Dutch translation was from the Amish Bible; the second translation was my own.) 1 Seeing the crowds, he went up on the mountain, and when he sat down his disciples came to him. 2 And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: 3 "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. 4 "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted. 5 "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. 6 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. 7 "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy. 8 "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. 9 "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God.

LCCC Presents Guest Speaker Mary Badham Submitted by DENISE REIFINGER Mary Badham, the actress best known as Jean Louise “Scout” Finch in the film “To Kill a Mockingbird,” will be the guest speaker at Lehigh Carbon Community College at 7:30 p.m., Thursday, October 15. The reading, in Berrier Hall (gymnasium), is free and open to the public. Badham will read from Mockingbird, as well as Harper Lee’s recently released Go Set a Watchman. To Kill a Mockingbird is widely regarded as a masterpiece regarding its story of a young girl growing up in 1936 Mobile, Ala., and her experiences with racism, tolerance, and compassion. The talk is part of the college’s 50th anniversary celebration and will take place during the American Library Association’s Banned Books Week, an annual celebration of the freedom to read. Badham had no prior acting experience when she was chosen from a pool of 4,000 to play Scout. She was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress, at the time the youngest actress (age 10) ever nominated in this category. After To Kill a Mockingbird in 1962, she appeared in two other films, “This Property is Condemned” in 1966 with Robert Redford and Natalie Wood
and “Let’s Kill Uncle,” 1966. Badham also played Sport Sharewood in "The Bewitchin' Pool," the final episode of the original Twilight Zone series. In 2005, she came out of retirement to play an offbeat cameo opposite Keith Carradine for his film “Our Very Own.” Currently, Badham is an art restorer and a married mother of two. She has traveled extensively promoting Mockingbird and giving talks about its impact in literature. For more information, contact Robyn Haja, information services librarian, at 610-799-1150 or rhaja@lccc.edu.

Weissport Redneck Festival Returns Labor Day Weekend
Submitted by GAIL MAHOLICK Weissport's popular eighth annual Redneck Festival will be held Labor Day weekend in the Weissport Park, located in the center of town. The festival includes redneck games, contests, food vendors and live entertainment. Festivities start at 5 p.m. Friday, September 4 and continue Saturday, September 5 and Sunday, September 6 from 12 to 9 p.m. It’s the last great festival of the summer season. Redneck karaoke opens the event Friday night and the evening’s entertainment features special guests “The Hawks.” Welcoming guests will be “Bubba” Duane Dellecker, committee chairman. “This is the only festival in the area where everyone is invited to participate in the events,” said Dellecker. “This festival lets everyone who wants to take part and be involved.” Whether its competing in the Miss Daisy Duke contest or the Mr. Redneck contest, or one of the other “skill” contests, out-of-town rednecks are invited to compete with or against the hometown rednecks. The event has something to offer for everyone.
Champions One-Ton will take on any challengers in the Tug of War at the Weissport Redneck Festival to be held Labor Day weekend in Weissport. The small fries haven't been forgotten. For the kids, there are ride specials, Big Wheel Contests, and a Watermelon Eating Contest. For Mom and Dad, they can compete in the Korniest Couple Contest, Zimmies and Hot Wings Eating Cook Off, I Luv My Mummy Contest, Honey Dipper Contest, or the Wild-N-Wacky Wheelbarrow Race, or last but not least, the Chariot Race (Redneck Style) which brings teams together to compete against each other pushing toilets on wheels. The crowd also gets involved by helping select Miss Daisy Duke. The winner is the prettiest girl who happens to be wearing a straw hat and short shorts to show off her best attributes and then Mr. Redneck is selected. His “crowning” is a definite side attraction, but one that brings lots of laughs. The Miss Daisy Duke Contest takes place at 7:15 p.m. Saturday. This contest is the most popular contest at the event, so grab your hay bale early. Continued on Page 23

West Side Hammer Electric Partners With Habitat Lehigh Valley For Anniversary Submitted by JEHAN MOUSTAFA West Side Hammer Electric, celebrating its 80th anniversary, donates its services and materials to complete the electrical work on 735 Aaron St. in Bethlehem. The team expects to complete the work on Saturday, August 22 where about 10 employees will complete the project. West Side Hammer Electric is celebrating 80 years of business in the Lehigh Valley this year and, as part of their year-long celebration, they decided to do one project a quarter to give back to the Lehigh Valley community. The local business participated in two Habitat Lehigh Valley house projects five years ago and had a great response from employees to do it again this year. Luke Cunningham, President of West Side Hammer, has been an active leader in the community and is especially interested in "giving back" to Bethlehem, the city that he grew up in. “At West Side Hammer Electric, our employees understand the importance of helping others. It is our belief that it is our corporate responsibility to give back and support the community that we work and live in,” says Luke Cunningham.

“West Side Hammer Electric selected Habitat for Humanity of the Lehigh Valley for our community involvement because we believe a family structure in a stable home environment is a key element in our community.” The partnership between Habitat Lehigh Valley and West Side Hammer has been built over time. “West Side Hammer has been supportive of our organization in a variety of ways, including connecting us to the local IBEW union and by agreeing to support us with donations of electrical materials over the years,” says Deb Cummins, Executive Director at Habitat Lehigh Valley. Saturday will mark West Side Hammer Electric’s third time at 735 Aaron Street this summer and the team plans to complete the wiring of the house that day. “We have had a rotation of different guys volunteering all summer, so everyone really has put their small piece into this house, which is great. Habitat does a great job at giving back to families in the Lehigh Valley and we are very proud to be a part of their team,” says Meagan Cunningham, Marketing Manager and Project Coordinator of West Side Hammer. In addition to West Side Hammer Electric’s material donations and labor support on 735 Aaron St., the business has supported the organization on several different projects in Bethlehem, including material donations and installation at 1393 E 8th St, as well as wiring and installing fixtures and lights at 1460 James St. This company supports our goal of bringing people together to build homes, communities, and hope. We are excited about having the West Side team on our site as volunteers and are grateful to this firm that continually teaches us how to "pay it forward,” says Cummins.

Movie Mondays with Elsie
Elsie, a breast cancer survivor living in Manhattan, is spreading love and awareness through her whimsical and abstract pink paintings. When she’s not picking up a brush, however, she and her human are re-enacting famous movie scenes. From their Facebook page—“Mission Statement: Mondays get a bad rap just like pitbulls. Rescued pitbull Elsie reenacts a movie scene every Monday with the goal of turning Mondays into the most anticipated day of the week. Here's hoping we start your week off with a smile ... it's contagious, you know.” While the pup has had a rough go of it with health scares and surgeries, her human told The Huffington Post in late August, "When you come to her page, it's always going to be something funny and inspirational. If you're having a bad day, you'll hopefully find something there to make you smile." Elsie has continued to bring joy to others through her rendition of films like Cast Away, E.T., Ghost, and Up (pictured). Search “Something Elsie” on Facebook and become one of her nearly 2,000 fans or follow her on Instagram @somethingelsied. [www.tanyaturgeon.com/elsie]

What We Did This Summer
School is officially back in session! Watching all the little ones getting back on the bus as we drive to work got us thinking about how quickly the summer went by. If we had to write our own personal essays about the past few months, here is what we’d write about ...
This summer, I spent a couple of days in Belmar, NJ with fellow Gazette girls Danielle Tepper and Alice Wanamaker. We were miraculously able to get up at 5 a.m. and go to the beach to see the sunrise. I don’t recall ever seeing the sunrise over the ocean, so this one was extra special—and extremely beautiful! I’m still so proud of us and so glad we got to witness that sunrise, it’s one of my best moments this summer. Another great moment was the privilege of seeing the Harry Potter attraction at Universal Studios and Islands of Adventure in Orlando, FL. As a lover of Harry Potter, it was very exciting to experience Diagon Alley and get to see Harry’s magical world in real life. Nothing can stack up to the actual Harry Potter book series, but it was still very cool to sip a Butterbeer while browsing the shops for horrifically overpriced, mass-produced knickknacks.—Cat Stroh

What We Did This Summer
This summer, I cruised Royal Caribbean’s Liberty of the Seas with my family for 10 days to Bermuda, St. Maarten, Puerto Rico (pictured), and Haiti. We climbed a cliff overlooking the beach in King’s Wharf, snorkeled off the coast of Philipsburg, explored the forts of Old San Juan, and relaxed on a sandbar island in Labadee. It was the perfect getaway! I also took a day trip to Knoebels (my first time) to reunite with some dear college pals and went to the beach for a couple days with my fellow Gazette girls. The summer was full of incredible photo opportunities, from blazing sunrises to picturesque cocktails, all of which I dutifully documented on Instagram (@ daniellestepper).—Danielle Tepper

On July 8, my wife Jessica and I set sail on the Disney Fantasy from Port Canaveral in Florida. We were at sea for a day before docking in Cozumel, Mexico where we saw Mayan ruins and had an amazing time on the beach. Our next stop was Grand Cayman and then Jamaica where we climbed nearly 1,000 feet up Dunn’s River Falls (highly recommended). We also visited Castaway Cay, Disney’s private island resort in the Bahamas, which was beautiful and relaxing. Reading in a hammock on a Caribbean beach and swimming in the crystal clear water is pretty much my definition of paradise. Before heading to Port Canaveral, we stayed in the Port Orleans resort at Disney World and took in a Cirque Du Soleil show at Downtown Disney before going to one of our favorite Orlando restaurants, Raglan Road, for some delicious risotto and drinks.—Joe Korba

Current Obsessions Summer TV, Vol. 3
In my July 16 and August 20 columns, I discussed a few of my summer television obsessions which included Netflix’s “Orange is the New Black,” TV Land’s “Younger,” FX’s “The Strain,” and NBC’s “America’s Got Talent.” This week, we’re down to the last two on my TiVo list that keep me busy before fall sweeps hits. (Then the list gets MUCH longer!)
Girl Meets World Season 2 | Disney Channel
I’ve already written about my overall impression of the first season of this ‘90s nostalgia-fueled tween show and my opinion hasn’t changed much. The forevera-BoyMeetsWorld-superfan in me has been enjoying season two just as much, if not more. Cameos from the original show’s characters keep popping up, making it an intense nostalgia fix every single time. My favorite character (behind Shawn) has finally shown up and the return of Mr. Squirrels has been my absolute favorite moment so far. So what’s new with Eric Matthews? He’s a New York Senator! And he had a heart-warming reunion with Tommy, the kid he almost adopted back in his 20s. Will Friedle stepped back into his role as Eric so seamlessly it feels like he never left our lives for a moment—which he hasn’t if you watch reruns as obsessively as I do! Aside from Eric, we’ve also seen Mr. Feeny
www.townandcountrygazette.com | September 3, 2015
again (for two touching, albeit painfully brief, scenes in episodes one and two), Shawn’s long-lost love Angela, everyone’s favorite English teacher Mr. Turner, and heartthrob Jack Hunter. I can’t contain my girly squeals every time I see an old familiar face. As far as the core storyline goes, the plot is still very Disney-esque, but with clear evidence that showrunner Michael Jacobs is trying hard to steer the show in a more mature direction, much as he did with BMW. The best display of that thus far has been “Girl Meets Yearbook.” Riley is stunned to see her best friend and her crush accidentally nab “Cutest Couple” and Farkle comes to terms with wanting to change his identity. It’s a poignant reminder of how crucial every little life detail was back in middle school. The kids are finally starting to show evidence of growing up and that makes me excited for all the moments that are sure to follow as we tag along their journey—just as we did for their parents.
Fear The Walking Dead Season 1 | AMC
At press time, only two episodes have aired so far, so it may not be fair to say I’m already bored. But this “companion series” (don’t call it a spin-off!) to AMC’s zombie juggernaut looks to potentially be rather underwhelming. Even the name feels lazy. It could be subtitled “While Rick Grimes Slept.” Fear looks to illustrate society’s rapid unraveling from the onset of the virus—? flu? bacteria? We still don’t know!—with the pilot episode showing our new main characters what we already know: No matter how many times you shoot the infected (or hit them with a car), they will continue to come at you until
www.townandcountrygazette.com | September 3, 2015
they take a bullet/arrow/blade to the brain. Speaking of those characters, I don’t like a single one of them yet. “Oh, how nice to see some fresh faces!” False. We’re introduced to new people on Dead all the time and it’s safe to say they are far less bland than this band of “blended” family members. While it’s interesting (for now) to see the contrast of Georgia countryside versus bustling Los Angeles, one could expect that in a few months’ time, it might feasibly resemble the eerily abandoned Atlanta we remember from season one of Dead. Come to think of it, I now have a new appreciation for season one of Dead. We were thrust right into the apocalypse, seeing this terrifying new world through Rick’s freshly opened eyes: What happened? Where is everyone? What is that? Oh my god, what IS that? What happened to her face? That lady only has half a body! WHAT IS GOING ON? I think Fear is a letdown so far because we’re so accustomed to the heart-pounding, noholds-barred action that Dead has grown into. (Remember the quiet days on the farm when all you had to worry about was walker guts in the well? Aww.) I don’t have the patience to wait for everyone to discover what world they’re now living in. I yawn at the confused/horrified looks on their faces. We’re two episodes in and
Page 37
no one’s dead yet? The scene that really annoyed me in “So Close, Yet So Far” was when Alicia found out her boyfriend was sick. Her parents wander in and discover he’s been bitten—and they just leave him there. Why did NO ONE ask, “Oh hey, so who/what bit you?” How was that not a question? Or how long ago he was bitten? What his symptoms are? They’re so worried about what’s happening, enough to escape to the desert (really?) because the cops are shooting people in the streets, but here they are with a real live person afflicted and they’re not stopping for two minutes to ask this kid what’s wrong with him! I also have no patience for stupid people (RIP Andrea). I have a massive amount of respect for the showrunners and brilliant (albeit maybe a little disturbed) minds behind The Walking Dead. Knowing that the same great people are doing their best to churn out another blockbuster series is going to keep me tuning in each week at least for the first season. If I had given up on Dead before they’d reached the prison, I’d be severely missing out on the mind-blowing Sunday nights I’ve come to love so much— but really, all Fear is doing is giving me severe withdrawal pangs for Dead. October can’t come soon enough!

Pointers For Parents Start Smart: Top Tips For Parents This School Year feel involved in the process.
9. Watch for Bullying Many kids don’t want to admit they’re being bullied, so parents have to ask the right questions. Asking “How was your day?” usually elicits the “Fine” default response. Instead, ask questions like “Whom did you sit next to at lunch today?” Specific questions require more detailed answers, which gives you a clearer idea of how they are faring.
(NAPSI)—Whether you’re a newbie sending your kids to kindergarten or a grizzled veteran parent of a high school senior, school season can be an emotional time. Here’s a quick list of things you can do for more stress-free days at school. 10. Plan Lunches If you are buying school lunch, check the online menu to see what they’re serving. If you’re making lunch, have your kids help you plan a few in advance—they’ll like what they’re eating and

8. Visit Your School/Teacher Most schools have a “Back to School Night” for students and parents in the first weeks of school. If not, call the school and set something up. 7. Hand Washing Is Key The good news—your kids will be drinking from the cup of knowledge. The bad news? All the other kids are drinking from the same cup. Your best defense? Teach your kids to wash their hands frequently and cough into their elbows instead of their hands. 6. Find at Least One Friend in Class Just about everyone has Facebook, so use it during the first few weeks of school to ask other parents who have a child in the same grade which class their son or daughter is attending. This will alleviate the stress your child feels by not knowing anyone. 5. Create a Checklist Organization is a challenge, especially in the morning. Create a checklist of items (lunch, backpack, books, homework) and place it by the door; you and your child will be less likely to forget things. Continued on Page 39

Tips for Parents Continued from Page 38
4. Buy the Right School Supplies Most schools send precise lists of what kids need for each new grade level. If you don’t have this list, ask the teacher. Bonus tip—buy some extra supplies on the list for the classroom. Many teachers spend their own money on school supplies, so they GREATLY appreciate when parents ease their burden with donated items.

3. Get Into a Routine Set a specific bedtime, eat breakfast early and get your children dressed in a fixed amount of time—they’ll be calm and on time for school.

News Of Nutrition Harnessing The Healthy Power Of Coffee
(NAPSI)—A few cups of coffee a day may do much more than fuel that early-morning energy oomph. The latest wave of scientific evidence suggests drinking coffee offers numerous health benefits that contribute powerfully to a balanced diet, an active lifestyle and overall well-being. Until recently, the health impact of the world’s most popular beverage has been hotly debated. However, better and more well-designed research is now telling a much clearer story, one that has coffee enthusiasts celebrating. Helping shape this sharper picture have been eye-opening reports by the U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee released just this past year. Scientists conducted a comprehensive analysis of all the latest evidence surrounding coffee as it
relates to health. Included was a review of more than three dozen studies involving 1.2 million– plus participants. Following the assessment, the nation’s top nutrition panel made history by giving the thumbs-up for people to enjoy coffee in a “moderate range,” defined as three to five cups per day for adults. It turns out that when scientists honed in on coffee—just coffee, without trans fat-ridden creamers, syrups and sugars—the results were clear. A cup of joe can have a very healthful effect, such as enhancing exercise performance. But there are also strong indicators tying coffee to other benefits, such as an association with better cardiovascular, metabolic and brain health long term.

This is great news for java lovers everywhere, and there are lots of them. Americans alone consume 400 million cups of coffee per day, making the U.S. the leading consumer of coffee in the world, according to the National Coffee Association. Globally, the total is estimated between 1.5 and 2 billion cups daily. “Today’s science now shows us that coffee can be quite healthful, and that’s fantastic since there are so many of us who enjoy it,” said registered dietitian and nutritional counselor Jaimie Lopez, RDN. “But this means drinking sensibly. Black coffee is best. When you start throwing in things like sweeteners, a healthful pick-me-up can quickly turn into a high-calorie concoction.” So not only does coffee deliver natural caffeine to the body for an energy boost, but many negative misperceptions about the beverage’s impacts to overall wellness and fitness are also being debunked. In fact, the data findings by the Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee point to just the opposite—that the brew can actually help support and protect mental and physical well-being. The healthy power of coffee is a welcome delight for millions. It not only tastes good, it can also be good for you. So much so that it is emerging as an integral part of healthful living. “The right type of coffee consumed responsibly can definitely be a tasty and healthy part of daily life,” said Suk Cho, Ph.D. and Chief Science Officer with Isagenix, a leading global health and wellness company. A provider of nutritional systems and solutions for energy, performance and weight loss, the company recently expanded its product offerings to include a line of premium and organic, slow-roasted coffee.

“This isn’t a green light to drink as much coffee as you want. Coffee consumed in excess or in the evening is linked to poor sleep, insomnia and other risks. But in moderation, it can absolutely provide a safe and satisfying boost for your brain and body,” said Suk. So now millions can enjoy their daily dose of coffee while simultaneously drinking to, and for, their health.
