giggles, the hop in their steps,
In health, happiness and prosperity, Jordan RN-BSN,Peschek,Publisher
The buoyancy children’s the joyous wonder fascination that lights up smiles as they grow: How inspiring it is awe and fascination that children experi ence as they interact with the world. Why is that? Why is it so natural for a child to enjoy each day? It’s simple. The world perpetually unfolds for children. Every day, something new is there to appreciate, to experience, to learn. I believe that a tremendous part of our lifelong quest for health, happiness and prosperity comes back to what we knew as kids, before we knew much at all. It is what we innately know and feel as a young child: that there is always something to embrace and appreciate each day. There are ample reasons to be inspired and feel pleasure in this life! The catch is, we tend to complicate things. We also build up baggage, challenges, trauma and stress as life goes on, making it easy to see the glass as half empty, both in our internal and external world. Trust me, I’m the first to admit this. I also will say that it’s simple to see the glass as half full, though I won’t pretend that it’s effortless. Imagine what would happen if we put just a little extra effort into remembering to take a BREATH, have FUN, RELAX, be GENEROUS to ourselves and others—to do something that feels GREAT for ourselves, just because we can! We are worthy of enjoying the pleasures of life—large and small. I hope that this Inspired Living issue, coupled with our first Mind, Body, Spirit Directory (page 21), inspires you to take a moment—or a day—for yourself to embrace the ever-un folding beauty of life. Respect the challenges, embrace the joys and pleasures, treat your body and mind with love and respect, and feel vibrant at every age.

Before going to the store to buy new school supplies, search the house for items that can be reused or repurposed, such as halfspent notebooks or last year’s pens and pencils. A little elbow grease and TLC can refurbish old lunchboxes and backpacks— also affording an opportunity to teach kids how to repair and extend the life of items.
Buy Secondhand Clothes
Opt for durable items that are made with recycled or sustainable materials and use minimal packaging. Avoid items made of plastic. Buy used textbooks whenever possible. Walk or Bike to School If the family lives reasonably close to school, encourage kids to walk or bike.
Model StewardshipEnvironmental Show kids that the family embraces an eco-friendly lifestyle. Kids will watch and learn as their parents regularly bring reus able shopping bags to the store, frequent local small businesses, participate in community cleanup efforts and continually search for innovative ways to safeguard the planet.
For young children that require supervi sion, enlist one or more adults to lead a convoy of walking or biking kids. School buses and carpooling are the next best eco-friendly choices. When transporting kids by car, make sure to turn the engine off while waiting in the pick-up or drop-off line. Engine idling is a significant air polluter.

After working in several different physical therapy clinics, Dr. Brenda Heinecke recog nized a need in the industry. She envisioned a practice that would offer a more person alized approach while providing more care options specific to women’s needs. That motivated her to form Revitalize Physical Therapy, which has quickly grown and transitioned into one of the largest women’s health and physical therapy clinics in the MilwaukeeHeineckearea.and her staff offer care for women of all ages and all stages of life. Many of her patients are dealing with pelvic floor issues such as incontinence, painful intercourse, prolapse, pelvic pain and ath letic injuries. The clinic’s fertility treatment plans help women with conception, and there is also a specialized plan for women transitioning into menopause.
Going forward, Heinecke strives to provide an innovative ex perience for women’s health care so they get the care they deserve. That path includes continued collaboration with other healthcare professionals to address factors that cause dysfunction.
Heinecke has completed a prenatal research study on the effects of pelvic floor physical therapy during pregnancy and the outcomes on delivery. She emphasizes that it is the first study of its kind in this realm and will be the stepping stone for changing the current treatment recommendations for pregnant women. She will have the opportunity to present this research to her peers at The American Physical Therapy Association Combined Sections Meeting in order to help enhance and advance the profession.

Longevity, a human quest through the ages, is now a hot topic among scientific research ers that assert there has never been a better time to maximize our potential for metabolic renewal. Biological age—the state of our health at the cellular level—is in the spotlight, as are the anti-aging benefits of science-supported phytonutrients, cell-rejuvenating foods and safe, non-surgical, stem cell procedures.
Researchers are now understanding what factors can turn on positive gene expressions and turn off those that may activate life-threatening diseases.

AGE IS NOT JUST A NUMBER
“On average in the United States, the last 16 years of life are spent with multiple diagnoses and on multiple medications. We are giving our hard-earned money to phar macies, hospitals and nursing facilities,” says Kara Fitzgerald, a naturopathic doctor in Newtown, Connecticut, and the author of Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better. She and other researchers contrast “lifespan”, the years from birth to death, to “healthspan”, the years spent in good health free of age-related disease and disability. “Lifespan is not necessarily healthspan, and we can change that,” she says.
“Bio age is how fast our bodies are aging, and aging is the main risk factor for all diseases, including Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia and neurodegenerative disorders,” says Fitzgerald, noting that only 10 to 20 percent of longevity outcomes are genetic. L ongevity Strategies that Help Reverse the Aging Process by Marlaina Donato
Functional medicine, with its focus on the biology-based root causes of disease, is also a rising star in the arena of age reversal. No matter which path we follow to aging vibrantly, the most inspiring takeaway is that lifestyle, not genes, determines destiny.
Until recently, age was determined by the year on our birth certificate, but “bio age” is the new number to pay attention to. It might not only predict health outcomes down the road, but also add years to our lives. In groundbreaking work in 2017, anti-aging researcher Steven Horvath at the University of California, Los Angeles, used algorithms to calculate biological age on the basis of how extensively our genome is modified by a process called DNA methylation.
GROWING YOUNGER
Chronic, unmanaged stress is a major factor in physical and mental decline due to elevated levels of cortisol. “Stress threatens the health and diversity of our gut bacteria, leading to increased
The results, published last year in the journal Aging, showed that three years of bio age were reduced in the target group in just eight weeks compared to the control group. “What we eat, our stress load and our response to it, the quality of the air we breathe and if we exercise are all drivers or reducers of our bio age. Knowing this, we absolutely need to take responsibility for our lives,” says Fitzgerald.Thisbio age reversal is good news when we look at the grim statistics. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Cancer Society , approximately 610,000 people die of heart disease in this country each year and more than 600,000 Americans are predicted to succumb to cancer this year alone.
SIRT6, an enzyme in close relationship with NAD and responsible for many molecular anti-aging processes, including DNA repair, is abundant in seaweeds, especially the strain Fucus vesiculosus, commonly known as bladder wrack Research published in the journal Marine Drugs in 2017 indicates bladder wrack’s anti-inflammatory and anti-tumoral properties, as well as its potential to protect the liver and normalize high blood sugar and blood Fisetin,pressure.apowerful flavonoid found in certain foods like strawberries, peaches, apples, persimmons, tomatoes, onions and cucumbers, rivals ever-beneficial quercetin. Research published last year in the European Journal of Pharmacology cites fisetin’s numerous potential benefits for neurodegenerative conditions such as Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, stroke and vascular dementia.
“Uric acid levels above 5.5 milligrams per decilitre trigger the body to raise the blood pressure, increase the blood sugar, become insulin-resistant and increase the formation and storage of body fat,” he says. “Central to regaining metabolic health and reducing risk for metabolic conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, coronary artery disease and Type 2 diabetes is reining in uric acid.”

Fitzgerald and her team drove this point home with the first randomized, controlled study on the power of lifestyle and diet to turn back the biological age clock. Based upon functional medicine, the program enrolled 18 healthy men between ages 50 and 72 in a target group and 20 in a control group. Those in the target group ate a nutrient-rich diet, slept seven hours a night, practiced relaxation techniques and took supplemental probiotics and phytonutrients. They ate only between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., exercised for at least 30 minutes five days a week, avoided sweets and consumed two cups of dark, leafy, greens and three cups each of cruciferous vegetables and colorful vegetables daily, as well as six ounces of animal protein.
MOLECULAR MAGIC Harvard genetics professor David Sinclair, author of the seminal Lifespan: Why We Age—And Why We Don’t Have To, discovered antioxidant-rich resveratrol in grapes in 2003. Since then, he and other researchers have found additional compounds with the ability to activate longevity pathways. Nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD, or B3), a coenzyme involved in many metabolic processes essential to life, has been shown to rejuvenate aging mice, increasing energy-producing mitochondria in the cells and fortifying muscle mass. The body makes less NAD as we age, but research suggests that intermittent fasting, exercise and heat saunas can stimulate this youth-preserving molecule. NADboosting supplements are also on the market, but consuming foods like naturally fermented sauerkraut, raw milk, nutritional yeast and pumpkin seeds is also a good strategy.
Chronic systemic inflammation is now understood to be the physiological springboard for most diseases ranging from cancer to depression, but its connection to uric acid is critical in producing free radicals that accelerate aging. “Unfortunately, most doctors look upon uric acid solely as a risk marker for gout. We now recognize that uric acid serves as a powerful signal in the body to prepare for food and water scarcity,” says neurologist David Perlmutter, author of The New York Times bestseller Grain Brain and the recent Drop Acid, a guide to lowering uric acid in the body.
THE TRIFECTA OF ACID, INFLAMMATION AND STRESS
gut permeability, a central mechanism underlying widespread inflammation, which is the cornerstone of all chronic degenerative conditions,” says Perlmutter. “Those conditions as a category are ranked by the World Health Organization as the number one cause of death on our planet today.”

In the daily survival game, the body’s stem cells generate specialized cells to replace those throughout the body that are damaged and dying. This ongoing repair process slows down as we advance in years, but cutting-edge procedures offer new hope for conditions ranging from arthritis to age-related brain fog.
Even with exciting advances in the promotion of long life, experts are unanimous in stressing that going into our golden years disease-free begins and ends with individual lifestyle choices, starting with what we put in our mouths. “Diet is the most critical variable in terms of our metabolic destiny. It’s been said that a person can’t exercise away a poor diet, and there’s great wisdom in this statement,” says Perlmutter.
“While stem cell treatment has been quite effective, it is important to remember that avoiding chemicals in the environment, exercising vigorously and maintaining a low BMI [body mass index] are clearly the most important factors in good health,” advises Prodromos.
“This study broadens our understanding of factors that can influence responses to immunotherapies,” says au thor Dihua Yu, M.D., Ph.D. Unlike chemotherapy, which acts directly on cancerous tumors, immunotherapy treats patients by revitalizing their immune system and “teaching” it how to identify and destroy cancer cells.
Vitamin E Enhances Cancer Immunotherapy
Revised Supplement Formula SlowsDegenerationMacular
Eating to reduce inflammation is key, and there is power on our plates when we add some of Fitzgerald’s longevity boosters like turmeric, green tea, shitake mushrooms, wild-caught salmon, eggs, liver and sunflower seeds. A study last year in Experimental Gerontology reported that the amino acid L-theanine, found particularly in green tea, reduced oxidative stress, liver degeneration and inflammatory responses in aging rats.
“Stem cells improve DNA methylation and telomere length, and result in a reduced physiologic age compared to your chronologic age,” says Chadwick Prodromos, a Chicago-based, board-certified orthopedic surgeon and the founder of the Prodromos Stem Cell Institute, in Antigua. “Joint replacements are offered quite liberally nowadays, but most of our patients with severe arthritis who were offered joint replacements do well in our care without them for virtually any joint in the body.” Prodromos and his team combine umbilical cord-derived stem cell treatment (non-embryonic/ fetal) with specially selected nutritional supplements and in some patients, platelet-rich plasma and hyaluronic acid injections.
Fitzgerald concurs, “Excessive inflammation—an imbalanced immune response—accelerates the aging process, and it increases with stress. Stress is the gasoline on the fire of aging.”
RADICAL RENEWAL WITHOUT SURGERY
In a study published in Cancer Discovery , researchers at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center reported that vita min E can enhance immunothera py responses in cancer patients by stimulating the activity of dendritic cells in tumors. Combing the re cords of patients with melanoma, breast, colon and kidney cancers that were being treated with immunotherapy, they found that taking vitamin E improved survival times and boosted treatment responses. In laborato ry work, the researchers demonstrated that vitamin E directly binds and blocks the activity of the SHP1 checkpoint protein in dendritic cells, which primes T cells for an anti-tumor immune response.
No matter which path we follow to aging vibrantly, the most inspiring takeaway is that lifestyle, not genes, determines destiny.
HEALTH BRIEFS
Age-related macular degen eration (AMD), the most com mon cause of blindness in older Americans, became less of a threat in 1996 when the national Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) verified that certain nu trients—beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, copper and zinc—slowed its progression. But after other studies showed a link between beta-carotene and lung cancer, it was removed from the formula. Two carotenoids found in the retina—lutein and zeaxanthin—were added, and the formula was rebranded as AREDS2. In a new, 10-year, follow-up study by the National Eye Institute (NEI), AREDS2 was found to reduce late AMD symptoms an additional 20 percent compared to the original formula. “This 10-year data confirms that not only is the new formula safer, it’s actually better at slowing AMD progression,” says Emily Chew, M.D., lead author of the study and director of the NEI Division of Epidemiology and Clinical Application.

Acupuncture stimulates the body’s energy and blood flow, giving a “wake-up call” to the endocrine, immune and nervous systems so that the body will perform better and become stronger.
Because acupuncture helps balance the body, it can help with inflammation-based health issues, such as women’s pre-menopausal and menopausal health concerns, digestive imbalances, depression, anxiety and insomnia. Acupuncture cannot cure cancer nor correct musculoskeletal misalignments, but it can help reduce the pain caused by misalignments.

In 1967, Tao Porchon-Lynch left a success ful Hollywood career as a model and actress to become a full-time yogi in her 50s. At age 87, she added ballroom dancing to her list of passions and at 93, she landed in the Guinness World Records as the oldest yoga teacher on the planet. She continued to teach a weekly yoga class just days before her death at age 101. “I love seeing students realize what is possible,” Porchon-Lynch said in an interview, and her words are an added incentive to reap the many benefits of a regular yoga practice at any age. Whether it involves getting down on a mat or practicing modified poses with the use of a chair, yoga helps us to stay nim ble, manage stress, reduce symptoms of depression and tame high blood pressure. Yoga has been around for thousands of years for good reason, and health orga nizations like the Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center are now recommending the healing modality for a better quality of life.
“What I learned is that we need four essen tial physical skills to navigate through life as we age—strength, flexibility, balance and agility—and we get that from yoga. We can find independence in our everyday life, and we don’t need a vigorous yoga class to do that,” says Ruth Pipitone, a gentle yoga instructor at various studios and senior centers in Northeastern Pennsylvania. For those that only associate the practice with youthful bodies and hip yoga gear, yoga is a full-spectrum practice. “Anyone can do yoga—gentle yoga, chair yoga and even wheelchair yoga.”

For Terecita “Ti” Blair, yoga offered a new way of life after a catastrophic automobile accident in 2009. The Denver-based trauma and resilience educator and 2017 SilverSneakers Instructor of the Year says, “Virtually any style or type of yoga can appeal and work well for you today, but not tomorrow. Therefore real ‘yoga’ is about adaptability, and yes, those of us with compromised joints, immune systems, pain, disability and illness can absolutely benefit from Thoseyoga.” with conditions ranging from cancer to Parkinson’s disease can reap benefits from an appropriate yoga environment.
The keystone of all yoga practice is working with the breath, an action that is naturally compromised by just getting out of bed and into the day’s challenges. “Most adults breathe from their chest. That’s where we activate the stress response of fight, flight or freeze. We need to use the lower lungs, too, so we can activate the parasympathetic nervous system to find calm,” says Pipitone Blair, who specializes in helping others to find emotional equi librium after trauma, concurs: “The nervous system is symbiotic with the breath, and vice versa. A long, deep inhale and a long, slow exhale can act as an immediate elixir for the nervous system to recognize that, in that moment, we are okay.” She has taught groups of people, some in wheelchairs and hospital beds, and she “still experienced the entire room shift when breathing to gether. As long as we are able to consciously notice breath, we can doNoyoga.”matter how many trips we take around the sun, tapping into the life force can give us a new perspective. “I use asana (yoga poses) to examine my thoughts and feelings and to find introspec tion to examine what is happening with myself physically, as well as mentally and emotionally,” says Pipitone. “You become more mindful of what you need to carry with you and what you don’t need to carry with you.” In essence, we deepen as we age, and yoga can meet us on a multidimensional level. “Yoga does not have to mean poses. Possibilities are infinite, and adaptations are unlimited, based upon our needs,” says Blair. Connect with Maya Whitman at ekstasis28@gmail.com.

H eadaches are one of the most common pain conditions in the world. According to the Cleveland Clinic, up to 75 percent of adults have had a headache in the past year. While symptoms vary in scope and intensity, understanding the underlying cause of a headache can lead to better treatment outcomes. Most headaches can be treated holistically, and lifestyle modifications can be key to lasting relief. There are more than 150 types of headaches, with the most common being ten sion, migraine and cluster. Migraine attacks, which according to the Migraine Research Foundation affect 12 percent of people in the U.S., are about three times more common in women than in men. Classic symptoms, which can be mild to severe, include throbbing or pounding pain located in the sinuses, forehead, back of the head or one of the temples.

tion Headaches can also be provoked by certain allergens, such as cigarette smoke, exposure to harsh chemicals in cleaning or beauty products, mold, dust, caffeine, alcohol and fermented foods.
NATURAL STRATEGIES HELP HALT THE PAIN
According to Alexander Feoktistov, M.D., Ph.D., founder of the Synergy Inte grative Headache Center, in Chicago, many headaches are caused by some form of stress. “Both physical and emotional stress can manifest with headaches. These are often triggered by changes in a routine or schedule, which throws the body’s regu latory rhythm off. Skipping meals, varying

While not completely understood, mental stress and anxiety can also be a trigger.
“The mind-body connection is fierce,” says Christina P. Kantzavelos, a licensed clinical social worker who specializes in chronic illness and pain at Begin Within Today, in San Diego. “It’s important to keep in mind that pain literally originates in the brain. I use a Constructed Aware ness approach with clients and bring cu riosity to the pain they are experiencing, including headaches. What thoughts and emotions are coming up when they focus on the pain?” she says. “Physical symp toms are often ofevidencetangibletationmanifestheorwhatisgoing on in your unconscious mind. Our bodies become stronger or weaker, depending on our emotional state. Fear, self-criticism and invalidating the self can be the root of a headache.”
DON’T FORGET EXERCISE
Renee also suggests maintaining a regular exercise routine to ward off headaches.
“The less active someone is, the tighter their muscles are and the more likely they will experience headaches. Make sure to get out for a walk every day, or try running to keep the body and mind moving. Yoga is another great activity as a mindfulness practice that decreases stress and also keeps the body moving to eliminate tension.”

GOOD PRACTICES
Feoktistov recommends that patients ex periencing headaches start with lifestyle modifications and over-the-counter meds such as ibuprofen. “Practice good sleep hygiene, stay hydrated by drinking water and minimizing caffeine, and introduce meditation as a way of focusing on what’s physically and emotionally going on in your body,” he says. “If headaches disrupt your daily routine, are severe or frequent and/ or poorly controlled with over-the-counter medications, it’s time to seek help from a headache specialist or other medical professional who can work with you on a path to healing.” Carrie Jackson is a Chicago-based writer and frequent contributor to Natural Awakenings magazine.

SUPPLEMENTS HELP Nutritional supplements can also be helpful, Renee says. “Increasing nutrients such as magnesium, coenzyme Q-10 and riboflavin can help minimize pain. Before stocking up on supplements, be sure to consult with a holistic practitioner to make sure you are making the wisest and safest you.lectionsseforMany nutrients can be found in common foods like dark chocolate, leafy greens, seeds and nuts, meat, fatty fish and legumes.”
Evidence suggests that acupuncture is effective in relieving the pain of headaches by changing the flow of energy, increasing blood circulation, releasing endorphins and relaxing muscles. Acupressure and other techniques can be done anywhere, says chiropractor and acupuncturist Mi chele Renee, director of integrative care at Northwestern Health Sciences University, in Bloomington, Minnesota. “The best acu pressure point for headaches is the soft skin in-between the thumb and pointer finger. Massage it for 20 to 30 seconds at a time to relieve pain or hold it for 10 seconds,” she says. “Migraines are caused by vascular dilation in the head, so I recommend putting your hands and feet in hot water or taking a bath to stimulate blood flow away from the head to the rest of the body.”
In addition to supporting the immune system, a lymphatic drainage treatment may further facilitate a detox process, therefore reducing fluid in the body and creating a slimming effect; supporting di gestive function; reducing brain fog while improving mood; and increasing energy (though this may have a delayed effect depending on the level of toxicity the system is up against). While every single body is different and each person should check with their provider about their own situation, lymphatic drainage treatments are an excellent way to keep one’s system ready to spring into action should a threat enter the picture. This is an especially exciting treat ment in terms of healing and recovery. People experiencing trouble after a sur gery, a procedure or during treatment for
LymphaticTreatmentDrainage
It’s no secret that the human body is up against a lot. It seems like words such as “toxins” are more and more prevalent. All the while, stress, colds, flus, autoimmune issues, and bacterial and viral infections are more commonplace. Everyone’s immune system will react differently based on their unique body, lifestyle, stressors, etc., in response to these threats, and as a result, the impact will also present differently from person to person. With all this uncertainty, there’s one factor that’s certain: the influential role of the lymphatic system over the functions of other systems within the body, including and es pecially the immune system. Therefore, the lymphatic system is a key component of the body’s overall health.
This concept may be more familiar than you realize. Most of us have expe rienced tender or “swollen glands” when we’re first noticing that we’re feeling a little off. Those glands are really lymph nodes within the lymphatic system collecting the threat—whether toxins, infections, viruses, or some other waste—and deploying lym phocytes, essentially enabling the body’s immuneBecauseresponse.thelymphatic system has no “pump” of its own (like the heart does in the circulatory system), it requires regular muscle movement and physical activity to work properly. If we are inactive, the sys tem can become slow and overwhelmed as it works through the backlog, and the body may need to store waste and toxins. It will store them first in the lymph nodes, then in other parts of the body if the stores toxins are not flushed out. If too many toxins are stored in the body, it can cause a whole host of health issues, such as when a new threat enters the picture: The lymphatic system may be able to do its job, but likely it is not doing so at top strength.

There are many ways of empowering the lymphatic system to keep functioning at full steam to ensure that the nodes are clear and the system is flowing. A process called lymphatic drainage is highly effective in do ing just this in a focused, intensive session, and can be done manually or by vacuum RF (machine-assisted radio frequency).
The lymphatic system creates a filter for all of the waste products, toxins and mutant cells that leave the bloodstream. The lymphoid organs produce lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) which are deployed and attack threats to the body. According to ClevelandClinic. org, “Lymphocytes help your body’s immune system fight cancer and foreign viruses and bacteria (antigens).” You may have heard of T-cells and B-cells: those are types of lym phocytes. When the lymphatic system is functioning optimally, it is on-task detoxing the body of threats quite efficiently.

Julia Skinner, founder and director of Root-Kitchens. com, an online fermentation and food history company, adds that when foods are dehydrated, they shrink and therefore take up less storage space.
When done correctly, dehydrating food is a safe method for maintaining its original state, says Tracey Brigman, NCHFP associate director and University of Georgia clinical assistant professor. “Dehydrators remove the water content in foods, resulting in a low risk of bacteria and spoilage.”
Unlike other food preservation methods such as canning or fermenting, dehydrating food does not require lots of special equipment, tools or skill. “Dehydrating food is super easy to do,” says Carole Cancler, the Hawaii-based author of the Complete Dehydrator Cookbook “Drying food is more forgiving. You can’t make a lot of mistakes. Canning, if you do it wrong, can make everyone in your family sick.” The only caveat, Cancler says, is that food not thoroughly dried will get moldy. In humid environments, dehydrated foods must be kept tightly sealed to keep out moisture and prevent mold from forming.
Food Dehydration Made Easy BEST WAYS TO PRESERVE THE HARVEST
ALMOST ANYTHING CAN BE DEHYDRATED
Many types of food can be dehydrated, including fruit, veggies, meat, fish, herbs and nuts. “It’s easier to say what can’t be dehydrated,” Cancler says. “The general rule is you don’t want to dehydrate food that has a high fat content, such as fatty meats or avocados.” They go rancid quickly during storage. While there are dehydrat ed, high-fat foods sold commercially such as cheese, peanut butter and eggs, these are processed using special equipment and techniques that can’t be copied in a homeSlicedkitchen.strawberries, chopped onions or celery are good foods for beginners.

“People tend to throw those foods away a lot. They buy them and don’t use it all up before they spoil. Dehydrate leftover strawberries for snacks and dehydrate vegetables to use in soups or stews,” Cancler suggests.

Drying food is the oldest known method of food preservation. Middle and Far Eastern cultures have used the sun and wind to dry foods since 12,000 B.C., according to the Na tional Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP). Today, the easy availability of food dehydrators offers a convenient way to preserve the fall harvest.

GETTING STARTED Starter model home food dehydrators, often found at resale stores or rummage sales, can be purchased for about $50. Some have adjustable temperature set tings for different kinds of foods. When purchased new, most food dehydrators include recipe booklets. When using a dehydrator, Skinner advises, turn it on to the appropriate set ting and lay the food in a single layer on the trays provided, then let the dehydrator run for a few hours. She usually turns food halfway through to prevent sticking.
Sheila Julson is a freelance writer and regular contributor to Natural Awakenings magazines throughout the country.

Leave the second tray on the dehydrator while peeling the first leather, or re-warm leathers slightly in the dehydrator if they cool too much prior to peeling. Cut into quarters, lay on a piece of clean parchment paper about 1 to 2 inches longer at each end of the leather and roll into fruit leather rolls. When cool, twist the ends of the parchment paper tightly to close. Store fruit rolls in an airtight container for short-term storage, up to about 1 month. Leathers should be stored in a cool, dark dry place. For longer storage up to one year, place tightly wrapped rolls in the freezer.

String (such as cotton baker’s twine) Rinse off the fresh herbs and pat them dry. Tie the herbs by the stems in small bunches. Hang them upside-down indoors and out of direct sunlight. Depending on the type of herb, they will take several days to a week or longer to dry. When dry, crush herbs with a mortar and pestle or in a clean coffee grinder. Store in glass jars with tight-fitting lids.
Cancler says that in some cases an oven can be used to dehydrate food, but it isn’t the most cost-effective method.
“I don’t recommend continued use of the oven, because depending on where you live and the type or size of food being dried, drying can take anywhere from eight to 36 hours. Running an electric or gas range for that long uses a lot of energy.”She says that ideal temperatures are 125 to 135 degrees, but most standard ovens only go as low as 170 degrees, which is too warm to dehydrate fruits or vegetables. “Then you must do wacky things like prop the door open to cool down the oven.” The exception, she says, is jerky: “It must be dried at a higher temperature, and low er-end food dehydrator models don’t get hot enough.”Sun-drying foods outdoors is risky, Brigman cautions, due to varied weather conditions. In addition, insects and air pollution have to be considered. “For safety reasons, consumers should really purchase a food dehydrator. While it may be a high cost when you begin dehydrat ing, if you are a serious food preserver, it will save you money in the long term,” she says.

He made a smooth copper probe with a tip to fit in the bottom of the nostril, where viruses collect.

Users say: “It works! I love it!” “I can’t believe how good my nose feels.” “Is it supposed to work that fast?” “One of the best presents ever.” “Sixteen flights, not a sniffle!” “Cold sores gone!” “It saved me last holidays. The kids all got sick, but not me.” “I am shocked! My sinus cleared, no more headache, no more congestion.”
