W
e chose a cover for July that reflects the patriotism we feel every year when our nation’s birthday rolls around. According to Merriam-Webster, patriotism is: love for or devotion to one’s country. Nationalism is: loyalty and devotion to a nation; especially: a sense of national consciousness exalting one nation above all others and placing primary emphasis on promotion of its culture and interests as opposed to those of other nations. These two things are very different. As patriots, we are FOR the same principles that this country was founded upon: freedom; democracy; limited and representative government; separation of powers; the American Dream (where anyone can come to build a better life); life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; all are created equal.
We, the People, recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights; that our destinies are bound together; that a freedom which only asks what’s in it for me, a freedom without a commitment to others, a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism, is unworthy of our founding ideals, and those who died in their defense. – Barack Obama We think of hot dogs, apple pie and baseball as quintessential American items yet check out these stats: According to a PRNewsWire.com report (1/16/17): “Asia Pacific is the market leader of the global hot dogs and sausages market, in case of both revenue and volume terms. Hot dogs and sausages are very much popular among the younger generation in China... Japan is one of the major markets for hot dogs and sausages in Asia Pacific.” An article on NPR.org (7/3/2016) states: “…the all-American dessert we eat to celebrate Independence Day actually reveals our interdependence on the rest of the world…The British used animal fat, wheat and water to create the precursor to pies — airtight, practically inedible pastry shells known as “coffyns” that served to preserve the contents within. While most coffyns were filled with savory ingredients, such as beef and venison, apple pie also had its place; the first recipe dates back to the 1300s. According to BiggestGlobalSports.com, baseball is the 5th most popular sport in the entire world, and the most popular in Japan; a major sport in Mexico, Korea and Canada. There is even an International Baseball Federation, headquartered in Switzerland, tasked with overseeing, deciding and executing the policy of the sport of baseball. Americans have good reason to celebrate the 4th of July, commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence, and good reason to be patriots. But let’s be honest: to promulgate America at the expense of all others is a recipe for disaster. The common good is global now, just as baseball, hot dogs and apple pie are. We as Americans can learn from other countries – not just apple pie recipes but how to provide healthcare to our citizens and end gun violence. America has always been Great and our stature in the world is not a zero-sum game. We can ALL win if we are for the human race and Mother Earth, together.

Intuitive Guide Training
I
ntuitive and Equine Assisted Guide, Chantal Fidanza, offers a 6-month Intuitive Guide Certification Program that begins Jan 5, 2019 near Santa Fe. The program, which includes a 3-day retreat featuring equine support, is not exclusively for those who seek to work with clients, but also perfect for anyone who wishes to deepen his or her intuition and master the ability to manage their own energy. “This training is ideal for empaths, whether they already work with clients or simply seek ongoing support for their own transformation and empowerment. In this training we learn to channel the gift of being an empath, our light, so that it supports us in every area of our lives,” says Fidanza. “So many people, including a large percentage of practitioners, struggle with overwhelm, with too much incoming energy. I understand those struggles intimately and I want to share with others how they can turn that burden into their greatest asset, as I have.” According to Fidanza, this deeply transformational training covers all aspects of establishing one’s own successful practice. “But anyone is welcome to enroll, simply for the powerful life-transforming benefits,” she affirms.

As Earth’s climate becomes warmer, sleepless nights will increase for many, predicts a study from the University of California, San Diego. The research links sleep data on 765,000 Americans collected by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention with climate models that predict warming trends. Rising temperatures could cause six additional nights of poor sleep per 100 people by 2050 and 14 by 2099. Seniors, which have difficulty regulating body temperature, and low-income people without air conditioning, are likely to be the most affected.
Exercise Benefits Cancer Survivors Moderate-to-vigorous physical activity increases cognitive function and reduces fatigue in breast cancer survivors, concludes a University of Illinois at Urbana-Champagne study. The 299 participants that had undergone chemotherapy an average of eight years earlier wore an accelerometer for a week to measure their average daily minutes of exercise and completed a set of questionnaires and neuropsychological tests. The findings suggest that those regularly performing this level of exercise benefit through improved attention, memory and multitasking abilities. Also, in a recent Portuguese study of 15 women being treated for advanced breast cancer, eight women performed two, one-hour sessions a week of aerobic, strength-training and arm exercises. After 12 weeks, they experienced significantly less fatigue and pain, improved cardiovascular fitness, better emotional well-being and a greater ability to perform daily tasks, compared to the control group.

The study, which followed more than 650 people between 2002 and 2012, also found that those that ate more than two tomatoes or more than three portions of fresh fruit daily experienced markedly less of the natural decline of lung function that typically occurs after age 30.

The danger of pesticide exposure for expectant mothers has been confirmed by a study of half a million people in the San Joaquin Valley of California, a heavy-pesticide region in which more than one-third of U.S. vegetables and two-thirds of our fruits and nuts are grown. Studying birth records, researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara, found that the top 5 percent of women with the highest exposure had negative effects for all birth outcomes, including low birth weight, gestational length, preterm birth and birth abnormalities.

What is Tantra? Tantra does not mean sex or sacred sex, as it is so often marketed in the West. The word Tantra means “web” or “to weave” as a verb. While the term has been skewed to be sex-centric, it overtly refers to the divine web of connection of the universe. Tantra is the glue, or womb, that holds all things together. Some refer to the Tantric web as the space “between” or the “ether” (5th element). Therefore, Tantra in practice revolves around connectivity. Deepening your connection inwards to connect more deeply outwards. A stem of Kundalini yoga, Tantric practice is broken up into White Tantra & Red Tantra. White Tantra consists of exercises practiced individually to build connectivity. Red Tantra incorporates modalities that involve two or more people. Can Tantric practice be integrated into your sex life? Absolutely! Sex is the deepest form of physical connection we have. Tantra glorifies the body as a sacred temple where the divine can be accessed. When that heightened awareness is brought into the bedroom, sparks fly. Tantra is also a natural cure for erectile dysfunction and premature ejaculation. Even if your current sex life is great, Tantric practice will take you beyond the physical realm and into next level love-making. Tantra Sessions are holistic immersions that offer a melting pot of non-sexual modalities. Incorporating body, energy, and breath work, guided imagery/ meditation, engagement techniques and mild yoga postures.

Bee Venom Is Powerful Lyme Disease Remedy Bee venom and its toxic component, melittin, can reduce the bacterium Borrelia burgdorferi that causes Lyme disease more effectively than standard therapy using antibiotics such as doxycycline, cefoperazone and daptomycin. The laboratory findings come from the Lyme Disease Research Group at the University of New Haven, in Connecticut.

Good Things Take Time Be patient with your growth and urgent with your actions. Good things take time. It is our commitment, continuous striving, determination and clear vision that lead us to success. We can move through each day with a calm confidence that we are indeed taking the right actions. When the inevitable challenges come along, acknowledge them as opportunities for growth. Thomas Edison said, “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” Edison was a man who was very patient with his growth and urgent with his actions.
If you are feeling stuck or unhappy with your current situation, it’s time to get busy. Work on your vision by thinking about it and seeing it clearly. Then, describe in great detail what your perfect scenario looks like. How are you spending your valuable time? What kind of work are you doing and how does it make you feel? Write it down. Be as specific as possible. The next step is to turn your vision into a plan of action. What’s the first step you will need to take? Prepare for it. What begins as a simple exercise will soon become a way of life for you. There is no reason to put things off or wait for the perfect moment, which is an illusion anyway. This moment is all we have. So, take action and you’ll be glad that you did. But, be patient and gentle with yourself. Remember, good things take time. It is never too late to pursue your dreams and it’s always too soon to quit. Maybe it’s time to finally take some action. Reiki can help by bringing clarity and confidence to your first steps. There is a tremendous feeling of accomplishment that comes from making a bold move. You will learn to love this feeling as you continue to follow your heart and live the life you were meant to live all along.

Big Save
Conservation Project Protects Part of Amazon The Amazon Region Protected Areas Program (ARPA), a joint venture between the World Wildlife Fund and the Brazilian Ministry of the Environment, has reached the goal of protecting a network of conservation units comprising more than 231,000 square miles in the Amazon River basin, or about 15 percent of the biome’s territory in Brazil. The program is now present in 117 conservation units—including in national and state parks, ecological stations, and biological and sustainable development reserves in the states of Amapá, Amazonas, Maranhão, Mato Grosso, Pará, Rondônia, Roraima and Tocantins—that are home to more than 8,800 species. ARPA works with local communities to create, expand, strengthen and maintain these units by ensuring resources and promoting sustainable development in the regions. They benefit from goods, projects and service contracts, such as the establishment of councils, management plans, land surveys and inspection, reaching 30 protected areas so far. ARPA is the largest strategy in place on the planet for conservation and sustainable use of tropical forests.
Meat Menace
Animal Product Emissions Rival Oil According to data from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, three of the world’s largest meat producers, JBS, Cargill and Tyson, emitted more greenhouse gas last year than all of France and nearly as much as the biggest oil companies, such as Exxon, British Petroleum and Shell. Carbon dioxide emissions from raising farmed animals make up about 15 percent of global human-induced emissions, with the biggest offenders being beef and milk production. The nonprofit environmental organization EcoWatch claims that a pound of beef requires 13 percent more fossil fuel and 15 times more water to produce than a pound of soy. It notes, “There is no such thing as sustainable meat, and plant-based alternatives to meat, dairy and eggs take a mere fraction of the resources to produce as their animal-based counterparts.” A vegan diet is not just good for the planet, either; it also spares animals misery at factory farms. “Pigs, cows, chickens and other farmed animals suffer horribly. These innocent animals face unthinkable horrors: cruel caged confinement, brutal mutilations and bloody, merciless deaths,” says Joe Loria, communications and content manager at the humanitarian group Mercy for Animals.

Smart Vest Could Increase Neighborhood Safety Thailand is the home of a new “smart vest” that could turn stray dogs into personal guardians. Equipped with a hidden video camera, vest sensors transmit live streaming videos when the dog barks, showing what it sees via a smartphone app. Pakornkrit Khantaprap, on the creative team at Samsung, says, “It’ll make people feel that stray dogs can become night-watches for communities.” More tests are needed before the vest can be introduced into additional communities for trial runs.

Restoring the Nutritional Value of Crops by Melinda Hemmelgarn
W
e think of scientists ads men and women in lab coats peering into microscopes. Our society doesn’t tend to equate the two, yet farmers are active field scientists. How they choose to grow and produce food greatly impacts our shared environment of soil, water and air quality, as well as the nutritional content of food, and therefore, public health. The best field- and lab-based scientists share key traits: they’re curious, keen observers and systems thinkers that learn by trial and error. Both formulate and test hypotheses, collect data, take measurements, assess results and draw conclusions.
Field Science
Diana Dyer, a registered dietitian and organic garlic farmer outside of Ann Arbor, Michigan, explains, “I like to help people see the similarities between the scientific process and good, careful farming—all aspects of which revolve around observations, goals, planning, implementation, intervention and analysis of results—then careful re-planning based on those results.” 18
Denver Mile High Edition
Dyer and her husband, Dick, started farming after long careers in traditional health care, where the focus was on treating people after they got sick. Through their farm work, they wanted to focus on prevention. “Growing healthy food in healthy soil, our goal was to create and nourish a healthy community from the ground up. Communicating the multiple benefits of healthy soils and ecosystems has been at the core of our vision and responsibility from day one,” she says. The Dyers believe that flavor is key to eating and enjoying truly nourishing foods, and based on their professional health backgrounds and farming experience, they connect healthy soil with higher-quality, better-tasting food. In Havre, Montana, Doug Crabtree, and his wife, Anna, manage Vilicus Farms, featured in the book Lentil Underground: Renegade Farmers and the Future of Food in America, by Liz Carlisle. The Crabtrees grow organic heirloom and specialty grains,

pulses and oilseed crops such as emmer, kamut, black beluga lentils and flax. Asked if he considers himself a scientist, Crabtree first defines the term as “a person who is studying or has expert knowledge of one or more of the natural or physical sciences.” Then he replies, “Given this definition, how could any farming not be a science? An organic farmer is a lifelong student of nature, seeking to emulate her wisdom and processes as we refine our production systems. Organic production isn’t just growing food without toxic chemical inputs, it’s a system that requires conscientiously improving soil, water and associated resources while producing safe and healthy food for America’s growing population of informed consumers.”
Healthy Soil, Food and People At the Rodale Institute, in Kutztown, Pennsylvania, Andrew Smith directs the new Vegetable Systems Trial, a long-term, side-byside comparison of both biologically organic

and chemically based conventional vegetable production. An organic farmer with a Ph.D. in molecular ecology from Drexel University, in Philadelphia, Smith studies how soil quality and crop-growing conditions influence the nutrient density and health-protecting properties of specific vegetables. “Over the past 70 years, there’s been a decline in the nutritional value of our foods,” reports Smith. “During this time, industrial agriculture, with its pesticides and synthetic fertilizers, increased yields and size of crops, but the tradeoff was a decline in nutrient content, known as the ‘dilution effect’.” In addition, Smith explains, greater levels of nitrogen fertilizer, typical of conventional production methods, may also increase a plant’s susceptibility to insects and disease. Smith’s research will give fellow farmers, healthcare providers and consumers a better understanding of how crop production practices influence soil quality and therefore, food quality. For example, research of organic crops shows higher levels of vitamin C; higher-quality protein; plus more disease-fighting compounds called secondary plant metabolites such as lycopene, polyphenols and anthocyanin, the plant pigment responsible for the red, blue and purple colors in fruits and vegetables, as reported in a meta-analysis published in the British Journal of Nutrition. The Rodale Institute has formed partnerships with nutrition and medical researchers at Pennsylvania State University, in University Park. Of particular interest, for example, are extracts from purple potatoes that show promise in helping to kill colon cancer cells. Smith looks forward to identifying growing methods that boost levels of anthocyanin, as well as other health-protecting compounds in crops. The new Regenerative Health Institute, a global research and education center linking soil health to human health, will also be housed at the Rodale Institute. It’s a collaboration between Rodale staff and the Plantrician Project, a nonprofit organization in New Canaan, Connecticut, that promotes whole food and plant-based nutrition, and helps healthcare providers embrace food as medicine as the foundation of their practices.
Jeff Moyer, a renowned international authority in organic agriculture and executive director of the Rodale Institute, explains, “It’s not only what you eat that’s important, but how what you eat was produced. Ultimately, our personal health is linked to the health of the soil.” David Montgomery, a professor of geomorphology at the University of Washington, in Seattle, has visited farms worldwide, witnessing how farmers use regenerative farming practices to bring degraded soil back to life. He learned that grazing animals, cover-cropping and no-till farming free of synthetic chemical
fertilizers and pesticides protects and enriches the soil microbiome, which contributes to the nutrient density of plants and human health.
We Are What We and Our Animals Eat
Along with our well-being, livestock farming methods impact our environment, too. A growing body of research including a new study published in Food Science & Nutrition shows that meat and dairy products from animals raised mostly on grass or pasture— as nature intended—contain significantly higher levels of conjugated linoleic acid and

T
oday’s health-conscious consumer is rightly concerned with where their food is sourced and how it is produced. The absolute best way is to buy straight from the farmer, ensuring locality and direct relationship with the farmer or rancher. Questions are encouraged and transparency in farming and ranching methods leads to greater consumer confidence. GSKI Shorthorns raises all-natural, grass fed cattle that is marketed directly to the consumer. Every steer is born on the ranch where he is raised until the day he goes to slaughter. The cattle are never injected with growth hormones or fed animal byproduct. Antibiotics are only used in the event that an animal becomes sick and requires treatment; such an animal is never marketed as all-natural. For at least 80% of the steers’ lives, they are grazing on pasture before being brought into a large corral for the final few months of life. There they receive grass hay grown on the ranch, in addition to locally-sourced corn. According to a GSKI spokesperson, “By raising our steers primarily in the pasture, we have noticed a definite difference in their overall health compared to cattle that spend the majority of their time in a feedlot setting. This past winter, not one animal required medical treatment! The reason our steers spend their last few months in a corral is to give the land a break. This allows the grass to grow back and keeps our pastures from becoming overused.” With grilling season in full swing, now is the perfect time to think about where your beef comes from and explore the option of purchasing directly from the rancher. This approach cuts out the added expenses from truck transportation, slaughterhouses, wholesalers, and grocery stores to bring a high-quality, local product direct to the community. Perhaps most important, the animals enjoy an excellent quality of life in their natural habitat. See ad page 13 or call 970-380-5458 for more information.

omega-3 fatty acids compared to grain-fed animals. These naturally occurring fats help protect us from inflammation, heart disease and cancer. Important in brain, eye and nerve development, omega-3 fatty acids are especially critical for pregnant and breastfeeding women and their infants. Organic farmers, by law, must provide their ruminant animals with significant time on pasture and may not feed them genetically engineered feed or feed produced with synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Further, they can’t use synthetic hormones or antibiotics to promote weight gain. In these ways, organic farmers help protect our food, water, and environment from contamination, and reduce the growing global threat of antibiotic resistance. Local rancher Emily Golemboski at GSKI Shorthorns in Snyder, CO diligently studies and question changes they witness
in their immediate environment. They monitor what grows in their pasture, watch what their cows choose to eat and count the numbers and activities of insects, bees, worms, birds and wildlife. They understand that careful land and animal stewardship is key to soil, plant, animal and human health.
Healing Communities
More hospitals nationwide are investing in farms and farmers’ markets to boost patient, employee and community health by increasing access to nutrient-dense, fresh, healthful food. One exceptional example is the new partnership between Virginia’s Allegheny Mountain Institute (AMI) and Augusta Health, an independent, community-owned nonprofit hospital in Augusta County, Virginia. The AMI Fellowship program prepares individuals to become farmers, teachers
and ambassadors for health-promoting food systems. “Both AMI and Augusta Health believe that access to excellent health care includes access to healthy food,” explains Sue Erhardt, the institute’s executive director. The AMI Farm at Augusta Health initiative will create an onsite production farm and a community venue for food, nutrition and gardening education. Their goal is to tackle three major local health issues: poor nutrition, low physical activity and overweight; diabetes; and mental health. A Food Farmacy program for those with or at risk for Type 2 diabetes will provide fresh produce prescriptions at an onsite farmstand, as well as cooking classes. Erhardt recalls her life-changing experience as a teen, hearing American labor leader Cesar Chavez speak about farm worker exposure to pesticides and related cancer clusters. She’s proud to say, “The farm project will exemplify sustainable practices for growing vegetables, including organic fourseason crops and companion planting, while promoting soil health. “We believe this project will promote a better quality of life for staff, patients and community members.” That’s the power of farming when it’s dedicated to optimum health.

I’ve seen a shift over the past few years where your focus has really zeroed in on food healing. Why do you feel this is so important in today’s world and how does it relate to one’s personal Qi?
wise words
PRESS ON QI: An Interview with Jeff Primack Part 1 by Damon Damato
Can you describe Qi? Qi is the electric life presence that beats the human heart and charges the air we breathe. Gong, like Gong Fu, is a repeated action to activate higher energy. Qigong generates a powerful magnetic field in the hands and this energy “dilates arteries” healing what it touches. The effects of Qi are profound for increasing circulation and improving endocrine imbalances. Science will discover Qi is related to static electricity and can be harnessed with hand postures.
Qi Revolution is coming to Denver Hyatt on September 1st-3rd. What is your higher vision for sharing this kind of healing with so many people?
Genesis 2:7 reveals, “God breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.” People report Euphoric vibrational experiences when they do our Breath Empowerment, even if they don’t believe Qi exists. Breathwork is the best Gong Fu, repeated deep breathes will break the veil of darkness and bad thoughts, eventually flooding the body with light energy.
Do you need to be fit to participate? Can one receive healing attributes if they are out of shape, ill or have other physical impairments? People with injuries often experience pain relief doing Qigong in the first morning practices. We are okay with people practicing where their body is at and provide modified postures for those who need special assistance. People of all ages can benefit from Qigong’s challenge.
Food is the key to excellent health, especially natural foods made before the inventions of man. Kiwi for example, helps to reverse asthma in hundreds of students I’ve counseled. Medical journal Thorax indicates children who eat Kiwi 3-5 times a week vs. those who didn’t eat any, have a much lower incidence of asthma. Evidence shows kiwi should be suggested by allergists and breathing therapists to help children with this disease. (Kiwi’s Effect on Breathing. Thorax J. Respiratory Medicine 2004) Food effects our Qi by becoming our blood and the cells which carry oxygen to our brain. I teach that eating red foods (high in carotenoids) are the best way to stop the oxidative processes responsible for heart disease and brain degeneration. We make smoothies and serve sweet red pepper paste to all attendees at Qi Revolution so they can taste for themselves how delicious natural foods can be prepared.
You perform a Global Healing Circle that is legendary. How does it connect participants using the 9-Breath Method with an expanded process?
The breath work at the Qi Revolution is transformative. Since every person is connected to it, do you believe the answers to healing & overcoming negative emotions are found here?
The living electricity felt in the hands of the healing circle is unlike anything else we teach. After everyone is proficient in using the 9-breath method, our signature breathing technique, we hold hands while doing it many times. The feeling is like an electric current going through everyone’s legs, arms and hands. It feels so very good! Delicious I might say. We focus our mind to God and ask for healing of people we love and send light to noble groups and nations worldwide. Qigong is not only for rich or materially successful people. Qi Revolution at $149 for 3-Days is made affordable to open the “Qi door” for more people. Massage Therapists, Counselors and Nurses love our training and earn CE hours when they attend, but all types of people will benefit. No experience is necessary and we allow U.S. veterans to attend free. Each year hundreds of veterans attend Qi Revolution and many of them have become our best Qigong instructors.
Breathing is the most powerful skill humans can learn to attune with the spirit of life.
For more information contact QiRevolution.com 800-298-8970. See ad page 32.
We will transform the hotel into a sacred space with the intention to experience the authentic healing practices of Qigong in a strong group energy field. Sound, light and Qi graphics are used to improve learning so everyone can feel what is going on without any previous experience. It’s rare that hundreds of people all simultaneously inhale at the same second, while holding the same healing prayer. Many people that attend heal old injuries and nearly everyone is strengthened by the energy. Where two or more practice Qigong sincerely there exists a larger living field of energy and I believe it’s stronger when more people practice.

Anti-Inflammatory
Flavorful Ways to Lower Disease Risk
A
by Judith Fertig
ny time our bodies sense an “invader”—a microbe, virus, plant pollen or unwelcome chemical— they go into high alert, producing white blood cells to fight it off. Once the danger has been thwarted, normal functioning returns. If we continue to expose ourselves to these threats, then the high-alert process, known as inflammation, becomes chronic. This disturbance of natural equilibrium can lead to cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, arthritis, depression and pain. It can also mask or worsen autoimmune diseases. Eating foods with natural anti-inflammatory properties can help the body function better.
Physician Support
“Many experimental studies have shown that components of foods or beverages may have anti-inflammatory effects,” says Dr. Frank Hu, also a Ph.D. and professor of nutrition and epidemiology in the department of nutrition at the Harvard School of Public Health, Massachusetts. “A healthy diet is beneficial not only for reducing the risk of chronic diseases, but also for improving mood and overall quality of life.” Hu, Josh Axe, a chiropractor and doctor of natural medicine, and Dr. Andrew Weil, 22

director of the Arizona Center for Integrative Medicine at the University of Arizona, promote anti-inflammatory foods, backed by recent studies, on their websites. “Small, gradual changes are typically more sustainable and easier for the body to adapt to,” writes Axe. “So rather than emptying your pantry and sailing off to the Mediterranean, you can pursue an anti-inflammatory diet one step at a time.” That’s what Andrea Adams Britt did. A professional wedding cake baker from Lee’s Summit, Missouri, Britt experienced bewildering symptoms, including digestion issues, depression, migraines, weight gain and skin irritation. In 2015, she eliminated flour and sugar from her diet, and then added more organic leafy green vegetables, coconut oil and wild-caught salmon. Her symptoms went away one at a time, and by last January, she had also lost 100 pounds. The solution for her was to create flavorful dishes that she enjoyed eating, so she did not feel deprived. Weil advises, “The best foods are those that offer disease-preventive benefits such as anti-inflammatory effects and delectable flavor. When I eat such foods, I feel as though I’ve hit a grand slam homerun—the sensory

Sea buckthorn berry juice (known as olivello juice) is one of the most concentrated natural sources of vitamin C. Ginger is a potent anti-inflammatory food that also helps reduce intestinal gas and prevent nausea.
Green tea is best enjoyed hot with a little squeeze of lemon; it may reduce cholesterol levels, ultimately assisting in lowering the risk of cardiovascular disease.

Soothe Inflammation with Summer Superfoods
O
n the surface, inflammation is local redness, heat, swelling, or pain in an area of the body that is injured or fighting infection. This is the foundation of our body’s healing response and conversely, a potentially destructive process. If our inflammatory process is weak, we get colds and infections easily. If the inflammatory process is elevated and persists without a purpose, we may develop allergies, autoimmune issues, and chronic disease. There are many influences on the inflammatory process: genetics, stress, environmental toxins, and diet. Dr. Andrew Weil points out that the Standard American Diet is pro-inflammatory – it simply does not provide enough protective nutrients from fruits, herbs, vegetables and spices. Certain foods, like lower glycemic foods or foods high in omega-3 fatty acids and antioxidants, can decrease inflammation and protect tissues from inflammatory damage. Dr. John Douillard, researcher, author, and Certified Ayurvedic Practitioner in
Boulder, notes that fiber is also a factor when it comes to fighting inflammation. A high-fiber diet helps ensure that inflammatory toxins quickly exit the body, rather than accumulating and causing damage in organs and joints. In fact, Dr. Douillard cites a 2017 study published in the Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases that links a high-fiber diet to decreased knee pain and knee arthritis. Both doctors encourage eating fresh, local, and seasonal foods to support a healthy immune system and reduce chronic inflammation. Summer produce is loaded with water, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory agents, and insoluble fiber to help your body and
its healing response remain nourished and balanced throughout these warmer months. Dr. Douillard recommends the following summer superfoods for dense nutrition and decreased inflammation: • Apricots, berries, ripe cherries, peaches, grapes, and melon. • Leafy, bitter greens such as dandelion, kale, and lettuce. • Cucumbers, cabbage, bell peppers, celery, jicama, and zucchini. • Cilantro and coriander. • Chamomile, dandelion, hibiscus, and mint teas. Proper hydration is also crucial during the hotter months. Water protects our joints from injury, helps us maintain body temperature, and is needed to efficiently digest food and remove waste. Drink plenty of water and focus on fresh, hydrating, cooling fruits, vegetables and herbs this summer. Simple, healthy foods help soothe inflammation, ward off chronic disease, and support your body’s natural ability to heal and thrive.
