A BETTER MORNING JOLT
HealtHy Coffee alternatives and HaCks
by April Thompson
Most Americans enjoy a daily dose of coffee, and an increasing body of research indicates it’s not a bad habit to have. Meanwhile, a growing number of people are adapting their morning drink rituals to incorporate ingredients ranging from matcha to mushrooms in search of additional health benefits.
“After many years of research, we have concluded that coffee can be a fantastic additive to the diet. Coffee consumption is associated with a decrease in all-cause mortality, risk of cardiovascular death and stroke,” says Claudia Hleap, a registered dietician nutritionist in Philadelphia.
Regular coffee consumption is also correlated with a decreased risk of Type 2 diabetes, potentially due to its naturally containing polyphenols, which are plant compounds with protective antioxidant properties. The caffeine in coffee, as well as in tea and cocoa, can also boost short-term metabolism and brain function.
As with most things in life, moderation is key; overconsumption of coffee can result in insomnia, irritability, gastrointestinal issues and other short-lived side effects. “Caffeine intake may negatively impact sleep duration and quality, which is essential for optimal health,” says Hleap. “Coffee can also serve as a vessel for added sugars and unhealthy fats in the diet if you are adding sweeteners and artificial creamers.”
Many java drinkers today are experimenting with healthy alternatives and add-ons to shake up their routine morning pickme-up. Chicory-based drinks, made from roasted ground chicory root, are a favorite for Lauren O’Connor, a Los Angeles registered dietitian nutritionist and author of Healthy Cooking for One. “Chicory is caffeine-free, acid-free and a gut-friendly alternative to coffee,” she says. “It also has a robust, roasted taste that can satisfy those who desire more than an herbal tea. Date ‘coffee’, made from date seed, also has a deep, rich flavor.”
Some chicory tea blends also incorporate roasted dandelion root, which has been used by herbalists for centuries to enhance the body’s detoxifying functions, particularly of the liver. Golden milk, a traditional Indian beverage associated with Ayurvedic
medicine, is another flavorful alternative with numerous health benefits. Recipes vary, but golden milk is typically prepared by heating milk or a plant-based milk alternative along with turmeric, black pepper, ginger, cinnamon, honey, vanilla and/or cardamom. “These warming spices go above a simple caffeine replacement to provide powerful anti-inflammatory benefits,” says Trista Best, a registered dietitian in Dalton, Georgia.
Best also recommends matcha, a traditional Japanese drink made from powdered, young, green tea leaves whisked in water as a coffee alternative with less caffeine and other added benefits. Because the tea leaves are essentially consumed in powder form rather than just steeped in water, matcha contains more catechins, an important antioxidant, than a typical preparation of green tea. “The L-theanine, an amino acid, in matcha is known to improve brain health, which shows itself through improved memory, attention and reaction time,” notes Best.
A Better Bean
Rather than swap out coffee altogether, some java lovers are bettering their beloved beans with healthy add-ons such as powdered mushrooms, ghee and spices. “A healthy addition to coffee can include coconut oil, collagen or butter. These can add some fat and protein content, which will provide more energy while also jumpstarting your metabolism at the beginning of the day,” says holistic health coach Virginia Gruhler. Ghee, a clarified butter that originated in ancient India, has been touted as a “keto-friendly” way to help neutralize the acidity of coffee while adding healthy fats and nutrients.
Spices like cinnamon and cardamom have been added to coffee and black tea for centuries in the Middle East and Asia to enhance both flavor and health. Cinnamon, for example, may help lower blood sugar, in addition to having antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties.
Mushroom coffee is another popular “coffee-plus” beverage which combines the flavor and energy boost of java with the benefits of medicinal fungi like turkey tail, lion’s mane and chaga, boosting the immune system and potentially warding off serious health conditions like dementia and cancer.
Because caffeine can stay in the bloodstream for up to 10 hours, staying clear of all caffeinated drinks in the later hours of the day will help ensure a better night’s sleep. When a mid-afternoon slump hits, a brisk walk followed by a cup of a flavorful herbal tea like Rooibos or lemongrass can wake up the body and the brain naturally.

Turmeric Golden Milk
yield: 2 mugs
3 cups organic, natural milk such as oat, almond, coconut, hemp or another 2 tsp ground turmeric powder ½ tsp ground cinnamon 1 Tbsp coconut oil (skip if using a full-fat coconut cream or milk) ¼ tsp ground ginger powder Dash of black pepper Maple syrup, agave syrup or honey to taste
Optional, but luxurious and delicious: Pinch of ground cardamom (about ⅛ tsp or just under) Dash of vanilla extract or vanilla powder Pinch of ground nutmeg (about ⅛ tsp or just under)
Gently heat milk of choice in a pot on the stovetop over medium heat. Once it’s warm, add the suggested spices, oil and sweetener. Use a whisk to thoroughly combine all of the ingredients. Depending on the type of milk used, vigorous whisking may create a nice, latte-like “foam”. Continue to heat for about five minutes, whisking occasionally. Serve immediately and enjoy it warm. Golden milk is also delicious cold over ice, although oil is not recommended to use in this case. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat leftovers on the stovetop (rather than in a microwave) to preserve maximum nutritional value. Source: Deanna, creator of HomesteadAndChill.com.

137 Mountain Ave, Hackettstown, NJ 07840 Snowfall
By Jared Zornitzer
Nature is always right there by our side—outside the window, beyond the roof, through the television screen—but our daily lives often make it feel otherwise. For me, being busy with school and extracurricular activities causes me to lose touch with the outdoors because I simply do not have as much time as I would like to be outside. However, nature has a special way of sending subtle reminders that it is there waiting for us to appreciate it. These moments ground us, reignite our purpose and remind us of why we are in the fight of challenges we face.
This year’s first snowfall was my moment of revelation. I was walking home from class during a small flurry. For some reason, I could not stop smiling during that walk. I felt the euphoria of a child playing in the snow. All at once, my worrisome thoughts about homework and exams disappeared. I paused and observed the beauty of snowflakes drifting through the air and reveled in the immense sense of warmth and joy that I felt in contrast to the cold night.
I receive other messages from nature, too. I have a constant calling to the world’s hiking trails, especially the Appalachian Trail. I often think about how much I would rather be out hiking the AT than being in school, but I know that it will be in the same place waiting for me to thru-hike it in three years. This provides me with a drive to do well in school; it is what is most important right now, and my hard work will allow me to pursue my true passion in the future.
No matter where we are in this world, we are all bound together by nature. It is accessible to everyone. An example of this human-nature relationship which I think about frequently is trees. Look at any big tree near your house. Think about how long it has been there; it could be hundreds of years old. Through all that time it hasn’t moved once. Humans’ presence around it has surely evolved, but the tree remains constant. Let this calming thought be a symbol of those things in life that are permanently there. One may be in the trough of an obstacle at the moment but, like the tree, you will endure and achieve a state of peacefulness in the end.
Jared Zornitzer is a full-time college student at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, NY studying engineering. An advocate of balancing work and school with exercise and healthy living, he loves hiking, biking, running, cooking, spending time with family and friends, and learning in his classes.

Natural Awakening Readers... Looking for a More Natural Approach for Your Dentistry?
Choosing a new dentist can be a real challenge.
How do you know who is really a holistic dentist? Here are several things to look out for, when choosing... They DON'T use mercury containing fillings because mercury is one of the most toxic substances known to man. They DON'T remove mercury fillings without protection because inhaled mercury vapors can be easily absorbed by the body. They DON'T recommend Root Canals because they harbor bacteria and toxins. They DON'T use conventional standards for their cleanings because tap water and chemicals are full of toxic substances. They DON'T use fluoride because it has been shown to be a neurotoxin. They DON'T use metal in their restorations because many people have metal allergies and sensitivities. They DON'T treat sensitive patients without biocompatibility testing because allergic reactions and systemic reactions can occur which burdens the body. We at the Holistic Dental Center strive to give our patients a "True" Holistic Dental Experience ...
Even Holistic Practitioners become our patients!

""The best dental experience I have ever had in my life:' Lisa Mack, Certified Thermographic Technician: "What I see in my Thermography, I see inflammation in the mouth, how important it is, you see the bacteria draining down into the lymphatic system and from there I always refer patients back to Dr. G... Why? Because Dr. G can test that bacteria to see exactly what it is so from there he can help you. I am also a patient of Dr G' s and I absolutely love coming here, the one thing that I love about here is that when you walk in here it' s like you ' re family.
