NEW BOOK ANNOUNCEMENT: Animal Totems and the Gemstone Kingdom “Magic and meaning come together in this oneof-a kind resource, which I’ll be using daily. This book is irreplaceable.”

-Cyndi Dale, author of Energetic Boundaries “Lembo has created a spectacular guide you will turn to time and time again. This book should be in everyone’s personal library.”

-Melissa Alvarez, author of Animal Frequency and the Animal Frequency® Oracle Cards

A

ll creatures, great and small, in all species on this planet are interconnected. When an animal, insect, bird, or other creature from nature appears repetitively, whether in real life or dreams, it is time to pay attention and find the message that nature is bringing you. There are many teachings available to us through the observation of a particular animal totem and their habits and patterns. For example, parrot medicine can teach us to see life from another perspective as we mimic the wise ones who have walked on the path before us. Mouse medicine teaches us to scrutinize all the details before taking action. Every animal is an ally, and every animal has a story to help you find inner peace, knowledge, and wisdom.

The associated gemstone for each animal totem is a further indication of the energy of the animal as symbolism and a teaching on your sacred journey. Crystals, minerals, and stones hold the history of the Earth and all this planet has to offer you to evolve your soul and spirit in this incarnation. The color, formation, and the manner in which the stone grows in the Earth offers a teaching to know yourself and your life purpose.

Palm Beach Edition

Matching the teachings of animals with the teachings of gemstones, Margaret Ann Lembo shows how there is symbolism all around offering clues to light your path. Exploring 88 gems, stones, and crystals and 88 different animal allies, she details the spiritual connections of crystal vibrations and animal medicine, providing you with a deeper understanding of the interconnected energies of everything around us. She shows how the spiritual fulfillment you seek is available to you in so many ways and this path of working with gemstones and animal medicine is just one of many.

Book Excerpt Antelope and Ruby Do you notice that you are quicker to understand what’s going on than other people are? Or do you feel like everyone else gets what’s happening, and you keep missing the point and the opportunities?

Are you trying to get motivated to act? Are you mindful of taking more than you need for daily survival needs?

Antelope totem is an ally that will help you improve you the quickness of your mind. The energy of antelope is beneficial when you are shoring up and supporting your crown chakra on all levels—mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally. On a mental level, learn to adapt to the changing landscape of your life and understanding. On a physical level, support your brain with the right nutrition and right use of food and supplies. On a spiritual level, take the time for contemplation, meditation, and prayer. On an emotional level, embrace your feelings and integrating any emotions that need extra attention.

napalmbeach.com

Antelope is also known as pronghorn and belongs to the same family as gazelles—the Bovidae family. All gazelles are antelopes, though not all antelopes are gazelles. The horns of Antelope remain with the male and female antelope for life, which is usually eight to ten years in the wild. Their top speed is up to 43 miles per hour!

If antelope leaps in your life, acclimate and rapidly move forward. Take time to reflect on the lessons you’ve learned in that period of time—both intellectual knowledge as well as the understanding of life. Antelope signals that it may be beneficial to think about where you want to be eight to ten years in the future. Observe the messages, for they lead you to a better understanding of your life purpose.

Antelope’s Vibrational Matching Gemstone: Ruby Ruby aligns with Antelope medicine because of the energetic quickness that antelope offers. Ruby aligns you with higher consciousness. It helps you be aware of the spiritual and mystical experience of the unity of the universe.

Just like the energy of the gemstone ruby, look to Antelope when you need extra energy around your ability to adapt and take action quickly. Antelope as an ally strengthens your clarity and ability to be decisive and do what needs to be done for any given situation. Be active and do things that amplify good health and vitality.

Divine Influence: Archangel Ariel increases your vitality, Archangel Camael helps when you need to move forward with great force, and Archangel Uriel provides wisdom and enhances your ability to make decisions.

Antelope’s Location on the Wheel of Life: the north-northwest quadrant, where wisdom is integrated into your life.

Contemplate This Have you been trying to understand why things are the way they are? Do you wish you could be quicker to grasp scenarios in your life and around you? Are you paying attention to only gather what you can use to avoid waste? Recognize that every day you have the opportunity to realign yourself with the highest good. Think about what activities improve your courage to take action swiftly. Find ways to improve your mental abilities through mind exercises and meditation.

Message from Antelope Take action and do it now! Be alert. Pay attention.

Swiftness and immediate response are important.

Engage in activities that strengthen your courage to take action swiftly. Improve your mental abilities

through mind exercises and meditation. Maintain focus and persevere. It is time to establish guidelines for honoring all life by avoiding situations that waste time and resources.

Antelope Affirmation Vital life force flows vibrantly through me. I am strong and healthy. I am adaptable and take immediate action. I am an intelligent being with the ability to focus on complex tasks. I am blessed to have a deep understanding of the truth. I am grateful to have mental clarity.

Message from Ruby It is time to take steps to improve your endurance and overall ability to think through complex problems promptly. Know that you are an intelligent being and that you can accomplish whatever you put your mind to. Engage in illuminating activities such as meditation, contemplation, and inner

reflection. Strive to better comprehend the nature of reality.

Additional Vibrational Matching Gemstones for Antelope: fluorite, mookaite jasper, red calcite, red jasper, red tiger’s eye, sapphire, sunstone, tiger iron, golden topaz, vanadinite.

Gift Establishes Association of Performing Arts of India Legacy Fund at FAU BOCA RATON

T

he Association of Performing Arts of India (APAI) recently made a contribution to Florida Atlantic University’s Dorothy F. Schmidt College of Arts and Letters to create the Association of Performing Arts of India Legacy Fund. The endowed fund will be used to promote and showcase the music and dance of India.

APAI http://www.apaiart.com was founded in 1998 by Dr. Deenbandhu and Bharti Chokshi, along with friends, to preserve and promote India’s classical music and dance, and to educate people of all ages in South Florida, including young people of Indian descent, about Indian traditional arts and culture as a living heritage for all. The fund at FAU was established to continue this important work through student academic and community programs in perpetuity.

“We are delighted and honored to be chosen to steward this important work of preserving and promoting India’s rich music and dance tradition here in South Florida,” said Michael J. Horswell, Ph.D., dean of the College of Arts and Letters. “This effort fits perfectly into our University’s mission to be a hub for the diverse cultures and arts of the world that make our community such a vibrant and exciting place to live and study. I thank the Chokshis for their leadership over the years and for entrusting us with their organization’s legacy.”

APAI chose FAU because of a long working relationship with James Cunningham, Ph.D., associate professor of music and ethnomusicologist, and Clarence Brooks, associate professor and director of dance, and APIA Advisory Board Member.

“Since I met Dr. Deenbandhu and Bharti Chokshi in 2005, I have shared their dream of including Hindustani and Carnatik traditions from India into the curriculum of the Department of Music,” said Cunningham. “That dream has at last come to fruition.”

Over the past decade, APAI has supported numerous guest speakers in classical Indian dance and sponsored three courses in Bharatanatyam in the dance program. In the future, Brooks will offer dance classes in bharatanatyam and other classical dance forms of India taught by experts in these genres.“I am very pleased that future students will have the opportunity to study the classical dance forms of India,” said Brooks. For information about contributing to the APAI Legacy Fund at FAU, visit fauf.fau.edu/PerformingArtsofIndia To learn more about Florida Atlantic University visit www.fau.edu.

Vacations - Destination or State of Mind?

W

hat is it about the mere mention of the word vacation that delights most people?

How is it that one word can conjure up both excitement and re-lief? Vacation is defined as “an extended period of recreation, usually in-volving travel away from home.” When you consider that vacation time for most Americans is only one to three weeks, leaving the remaining 49 – 51 weeks each year dedicated to our vocation and the rest of our usual life schedule, Steve Job’s advice begins to make a lot of sense: “Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to… love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it.”

The dictionary defines vocation as: • a strong feeling of suitability for a particular career or occupation • a person’s employment or main occupation Some people are so happy in their chosen vocation that they really prefer the time they spend in their field.

“It seems strange to say this, but it is true: Coming back to Vegas to work is like going on vacation for me.” - Celine Dion

Here are three reasons we hold vacations in such high regard:

I feel the same way as Celine. Being a Reflexologist and Life Wellness Coach for the past four decades has been the ultimate calling in my life. I get to meet people on a soul level (literally!) I also get to help them release resistance and unleash their untapped power and creativity. Knowing I have the skills and knowledge, right at my fingertips, to facilitate wellness and help raise the vibrational quality of my client’s lives is beyond gratify-ing! It reminds me of Seth Godwin’s suggestion: “Instead of wondering when your next vacation is, maybe you should set up a life you don’t need to escape from.”

While I wholeheartedly agree, I also know through my work that many people still single out vacations as times in their lives when they have felt the best.

Why do these few days completely overshadow the rest of the year?

Expectations - We expect our vacations to be fun!

Focus - During our vacation we focus on the relationships of those we are with.

Appreciation - We take the time to appreciate all the little details of life that we normally overlook – like the beauty of the sun rising and setting.

Vacations, then, are not so much a destination as a state of mind. In my work with my clients and students I share some truths that can help bring that vacation state of mind to your everyday life: • What we expect, we create! Our minds are very powerful. Our thoughts, both positive or negative, bring more of the same into our lives • What we focus on grows stronger in our lives. Listening to upbeat music, watching uplifting movies and TV shows and spending time with friends and family who are happy in their lives bring more experiences into you life that evoke similar positive feelings.

Andropause: What is it? How can you prevent it?

Male Menopause - Understanding Its Effects and Solutions for a Better Quality of Life

D

uring the aging process, declining hormone levels bring on changes to the human system. For women, this decline of hormone levels in the body is referred to as Menopause. The decline of women’s hormone levels may appear to the unaware as being sudden. In fact, in the early stages of Menopause, symptoms are often not recognized and therefore the symptoms appear to be rapid and without warning.

So much study and research has been done for women with regards to Menopause, it’s symptomatology and its relief, but women are not the only ones who suffer from declining hormone levels. Men have declines of hormones in their bodies as well and this natural process affects all men as they age.

As opposed to the process for women referred to as Menopause, the male process of declining numbers of hormones in the body is referred to as Andropause. There are several differences between Menopause and Andropause that do not make the terms interchangeable.

Common symptoms of Andropause for men include a low sex drive, lack of energetic performance, difficulty getting and/or keeping strong erections, extended periods of fatigue, physical weakness, increasing levels of depression, hair loss, mood swings, body weight, osteoporosis, hot flashes, random durations of insomnia, reasonless sweating, occasional loss of memory, noticeable lapses of concentration and an overall decreased quality of life.

Men’s decline of hormones is gradual and not always clearly defined. The average is about 1 to 2 percent per year after the age of 30, though for some it can start as early as their late 20’s. Diagnosis of low Testosterone might not be noticed until one reaches their 40s or 50s. As Testosterone decreases in a man’s body the levels of Estrogen increase. It is important to note that the natural process of Andropause in the body does not cause Prostate Cancer, the most common type of cancer in men, nor does low Testosterone, but how a person chooses to manage their hormone levels in their body may impact their Prostate Cancer risk. Prostate Cancer is treatable in its early stages.

The increase of Estrogen is being studied to verify its link to increased proportion of men diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. Testosterone Therapy, which some claim to alleviate symptoms of Andropause, can also increase the risk of Prostate Cancer.

Other factors also play a role in Prostate Cancer risk. With regards to race, African 14

Palm Beach Edition

American men are approximately 70% more likely to develop Prostate Cancer in their lifetime then Caucasian or Hispanic men. In addition, family history is another risk factor. If a brother or father contracts the disease, then the likelihood of another member of the family having the disease increases. Diet that is high in saturated fat and a lack of exercise which causes obesity can contribute to the possibility of increased risk of Prostate Cancer. Given these factors and risks, as you age, the diagnosis of Prostate Cancer increases significantly - 1 in 10,000 for men under the age of 40, to 1 in 15 for men reaching 60 and older.

WHAT CAN YOU DO ABOUT IT? There are treatments ranging from medicinal to holistic that can help to offset symptoms and/ or reduce the risk of disease. Being proactive towards health and wellness will aid in its prevention. Lifestyle changes should include personal dietary modifications, prescribed nutrition and breathing exercises which, when applied together, help to alleviate the onset and continuation of symptoms.

The practice of LAMAS Qi Gong, an ancient Chinese healing art over 5,000 years old, has

meditative formats that help to put the inter-differentiating symbolic human body system(s) into true balance. LAMAS Qi Gong is an exceptional alternative to prescription drugs when dealing with the issues of Andropause and Menopause.

The practice of LAMAS Qi Gong with specific forms targeting both Menopause for women and Andropause for men can have profound effects for the symptomatic relief as the body ages. This can be achieved by exclusively gating the Zang Fu functions of all six Yin organs so as to offer real mutual-discrimination.

When this Qi (Chi) flow is realized and directed, then smooth energy flow will strengthen the mind, body and spirit connection so all work together to help alleviate the symptoms and side effects experienced by both men and women with regards to Menopause and Andropause.

LAMAS Qi Gong was brought to the Western world through its lineage holder Grandmaster Sikung Lowe (LoLo). Grandmaster Lowe is a gifted Empath and Qi Healer who can trace his family history back over 3,000 years to the Han Dynasty. His “passion is to bring awareness to as many as possible, this powerful Chinese Healing Art of LAMAS Qi Gong”. LAMAS Qi Gong or ‘DaoYin’ Qi Gong has been passed down through his family in it’s pure & esoteric form. As result of keeping the movements of LAMAS Qi Gong in its complete and pure form, it is the strongest and fastest way to achieve and maintain Qi in significant levels within the body.

We are extremely grateful to be in the presence of LAMAS Qi Gong Grandmaster Lowe who speaks excellent English and can communicate with clear and understandable words. He has a “vibrational” energy that is so strong it can help to awaken the mind, motivate the soul, and relieve the tired and restless body. Learning and practicing LAMAS Qi Gong will be an energetic and life-changing experience.

This Month there is a unique opportunity available to all on June 9th and June 23rd, 2018 Grandmaster Lowe will be conducting 6 free group healing sessions offered at the Delray Beach Public Library in cooperation with GHVA (Global Health Visionary Alternatives, Inc.), a non-profit 501(c)3 whose Mission is to build a Qi Wellness Center here in South Florida for people of all ages. Come as group or come as a family.

This is a fabulous opportunity.

Organic Aloe Vera Treatments - Damaged Hair/Dry Scalp - Prevents Hair Loss - Facial Hair Removal - Facials - Acne - Dry Skin - Sunburned Skin

loe vera is a plant that is native to East and South Africa therefore unable to withstand cold conditions. South Florida is an ideal location to grow this multi-purpose plant. It grows to about two feet tall with thick dark green leaves full of a clear translucent gel that has amazing healing qualities. Caution must be taken since the leaves are edged with thorns that keep pesky insects away.

The aloe family belongs to the 'Xeroids' which are desert plants. Xeroids have a special chemical make-up to close any wound almost immediately, so the plant will not lose its precious water. The wound heals quickly, and so will ours if fresh aloe sap is applied. The sap is about 96% water and the rest is a protein which contains 18 of the 20 amino acids found in the human body as well as vitamin A, B, C, E, triterpenes, and proteolytic enzymes, which repairs skin cells. Because of these amazing ingredients, it makes a great hair conditioner smoothing frizz and imparting shine. It also promotes hair growth, prevents itchy scalp, and reduces dandruff. Aloe vera has a chemical make up similar to that of keratin giving hair more elasticity, preventing breakage and hair fall. With its germ-killing properties – antimicrobial, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal - it's an effective botanical that can be used as an antibiotic and disinfectant.

Juli Edwards, a licensed cosmetologist of 30 years, has reaping the benefits of fresh aloe vera gel in her holistic, organic salon and spa for over a decade. Juli said, “About fourteen years ago, I accidentally burned my hand (second and third degree) and I applied fresh aloe every day for a few weeks. It soothed the pain and healed the large wound so well that it is nearly impossible to see any scar. This is what inspired me to do more research and start using it in my salon. We have organic aloe plants outside in our sunny courtyard and harvest whenever we need it. We use the fresh aloe within four hours after hulling for the most benefits of this beautiful gift from Mother Nature. Lots of people get our Aloe Vera Scalp Treatment which can help to treat hair loss, psoriasis, eczema, dandruff, dry scalp, and dry hair. And get your skin ready for summer with our 100% natural/organic Facial, complete with the healing benefits of fresh organic aloe vera ”. The 100% natural/organic hair care and skin care line recommended by Juli is aloe based, so you can get the benefits of aloe every time you wash your hair and face.

Nature provides so many simple remedies to help us in our complicated lives.

Use aloe with good intentions and be sure the plant you are harvesting from is organic, with sandy soil, and gets plenty of natural light. The liquid gel inside the leaves should be light color and translucent. A leaf should be at least 12 inches long; if not, the plant is too young for cutting. Be sure that your plant does not get frost and is not over-watered. If you are sensitive, apply a chunk of aloe to the inner fold of your arm and secure with a band-aid. Leave it on up to 24 hours to determine if you are allergic.

Juli Edwards owns Healthy Life Salon in downtown Boca Raton. To book an appointment for a free consultation to determine if your hair and scalp need aloe, please call 561-891-7527 or book your own appointment at HLSalon.com

Author Publishes ForwardThinking Book

A

uthor David Kline has published a new book, Change a Letter, Change Your Life. The book gives readers the opportunity to learn about the law of attraction and how to use it to improve their lives. Encouraging readers to move beyond the phrase, I’ll believe it when I see it, Kline suggests readers take the initiative to formulate a new way of thinking by changing the w in when to a t, so that the resulting updated phrase becomes: I believe, then I see.

“What a difference one letter can make,” notes Kline. “It can change everything from a negative and stagnant approach to life, to a positive and forward-thinking stance. But changing that one letter in your belief system may be one of the hardest things you ever have to do. It means giving up your old thought processes and early programming and moving fearlessly ahead into uncharted territory.”

Energy Drinks Hurt Youth Health More than half of teens and young adults that have slaked their thirst with energy drinks report consequently suffering negative health consequences, reports a new study from Canada’s University of Waterloo. Of 2,055 Canadian participants between ages 12 and 24, 55.4 percent said they had negative health events afterwards. Of these, 26.5 percent trembled and felt jittery, 24.7 percent had faster heartbeats and 22.5 percent noted “jolt and crash” episodes—a spell of alertness followed by a sudden drop in energy.

Another 5.1 percent experienced nausea or diarrhea and 0.2 percent, seizures. Most respondents said they drank only one or two energy drinks at a time.

Cardiovascular exercise improves a person’s healthy gut microbes even without making dietary changes, University of Illinois researchers report.

In a study of 32 people, 30 to 60 minutes of exercise three times a week for six weeks boosted levels of healthy intestinal bacteria, especially for lean subjects, and less so for the obese.

The healthy bacteria produced shortchain fatty acids that reduce the risk of colon cancer.

“The bottom line is that there are clear differences in how the microbiome of somebody who is obese versus somebody who is lean responds to exercise,” says Jeffrey Woods, Ph.D., a kinesiology professor at the university.

In the first scientific study of facial exercise, 27 middleaged women that performed specific facial muscle movements looked an average of two-and-a-half years younger in 20 weeks based on a standardized scale called the Merz-Carruthers Facial Aging Photoscales. By doing the exercises for 30 minutes each day or every other day, the fullness of both the upper and lower cheeks, in particular, of the women were significantly enhanced, report Northwestern University researchers.

“The exercises enlarge and strengthen the facial muscles, so the face becomes firmer and more toned and shaped like a younger face,” says lead author Murad Alam, a medical doctor.

Some of the study exercises can be found by searching the topic of Happy Face Yoga on YouTube.

Seek 15 Minutes of Device-Free Time When we’re feeling angry, stressed or overexcited, just 15 minutes of being alone without a device can put us into a more peaceful state, reports a University of Rochester study.

Young adults, sitting in a comfortable chair away from their devices, were given something to read, told to think about something specific or not given any instruction. Some were asked to sit alone for 15 minutes a day for a week and keep a diary. In all cases, such solo time away from devices helped reduce intense emotions afterward.

Alcohol has been linked to seven types of cancer, including breast and bowel, and scientists at the MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology, in Cambridge, UK, have tracked down a possible cause. In lab tests, they found that when the body processes alcohol, acetaldehyde is produced. Acetaldehyde alters and damages DNA within blood stem cells, leading to rearranged chromosomes and a greater likelihood of cancer.

After a polluting coal-fired power plant in Pennsylvania was shut down in 2014 by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency regulatory action, the chances of women living 30 miles downwind having a preterm birth fell by about 28 percent, report Lehigh University researchers. While the plant was operating, women in affluent New Jersey communities downwind had a 17 percent greater risk of having babies of very low birth weights—less than 5.5 pounds—than did women in other similar affluent areas.

Mangoes contain potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and anticancer properties that may prove useful in treating gastrointestinal disease, cognitive decline and diabetes, report scientists at the University of Palermo, in Italy.

Also, Texas A&M researchers have found that 300 people with Crohn’s disease that ate 200 to 400 grams of commercially available frozen mangoes daily for eight weeks had fewer digestive symptoms, improved inflammation biomarkers and less colon cancer-linked molecules in their digestive tracts.

People that Don’t Slight Sleep Eat Better

A spate of recent worldwide studies reveal several cholesterol-healthy alternatives to olive oil.

Ingesting 15 milliliters a day of virgin coconut oil for eight weeks increased high-density lipoprotein (HDL) “good cholesterol” levels in 32 young adults by an average of 5.72 milligrams/deciliter, researchers at Thailand’s Chiang Mai University found.

Walnut oil slashed heart disease risk in 100 Type 2 diabetes patients that swallowed capsules containing a total of 15 milliliters of walnut oil a week—the amount of oil obtained from 4 to 5 servings of the nuts.

They experienced significant drops in total cholesterol, low-density (LDL) “bad cholesterol” and triglycerides after 90 days, reported Iranian researchers at the Shiraz University of Medical Sciences.

Camelina oil from the Camelina sativa plant, also called false flax, lowered LDL levels in 79 men with prediabetic symptoms, whereas diets high in either high- or lowfatty fish did not, according to the University of Eastern Finland. The men consumed 30 milliliters of the oil for 90 days.

Those that sleep more than seven hours a night are likely to eat better the following day, according to researchers from King’s College London. In the study, 21 people known to typically sleep fewer than seven hours increased their sleep time by 47 minutes after receiving tips on sleep hygiene such as drinking less caffeine and going to bed neither too hungry nor too full. The following day, they consumed almost 10 fewer grams of sugar in food and drinks on average and also consumed less fat and fewer carbohydrates than a control group.

Rail Trails

Summer Vacations with a Fun Twist

This summer, consider the convenience and relaxation of watching the world go by outside a panoramic side window instead of focusing on driving the road ahead. Train travel is also more cost-effective, affordable and eco-friendly than flying. SmarterTravel.com highlights railroad discounts for children, seniors, students, AAA members, military personnel and other demographics. Additional advantages include accessible central city terminals, a generous luggage policy and less time waiting until departures. If a station has an unattended parking lot, arrange to be dropped off.

Amtrak (Amtrak.com) encompasses 300 daily trains on more than 21,000 miles of track to more than 500 destinations. Particularly scenic routes include the California Zephyr that winds through the Rocky and Sierra Nevada mountains between San Francisco and Chicago; and the Adirondack train between New York City and Montreal, Canada, offering spectacular views of both its namesake national park and the historic Hudson River Valley.

Amtrak’s 75 vacation packages (AmtrakVacations.com) range from three days to two weeks. Sights include the Grand Canyon and Glacier, Yellowstone and Yosemite national parks. Most long-distance routes provide sleeping accommodations with passenger amenities for day and night.

Advanced technology electric locomotives began enhancing Amtrak’s Northeast Corridor runs in 2016. Designed for maximum energy efficiency with a regenerative braking system that feeds back into the power grid, this innovation saves electricity and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Amtrak’s partnership with CarbonFund.org allows passengers to offset the carbon emissions footprint from their rail travel. Custom contributions can be made via the Rail Calculator or short- or long-distance traveler or Amtrak Trainiac preset options on Amtrak’s website.

Many travelers also enjoy narrow-gauge, short-rail junkets. Popular options include Colorado’s Durango & Silverton Railroad (DurangoTrain.com), a nostalgic trip back to the mining days of the Old West; the Cumbres & Toltec Scenic Railroad (CumbresToltec.com), a 45-mile ride along the New Mexico/ Colorado border; and the Conway Scenic Railroad (ConwayScenic.com) in New Hampshire, within two hours of both Portland, Maine, and Boston, Massachusetts.

Neighboring Canada affords many scenic trains including trips connecting Toronto with Vancouver and Calgary. Visit RockyMountaineer.com and ViaRail.ca.

Independent Action

Cincinnati has contracted with the energy company Dynegy to purchase 100 percent renewable energy to operate most of its municipal facilities through at least 2021. The green energy will power police and fire stations, health clinics, recreation centers and most administrative buildings, including city hall.

The city’s greenhouse gas emissions will be cut by more than 9 percent and its utility rates by more than $100,000 annually. The deal will bring the city closer to its goal of running on 100 percent renewable energy by 2035.

Quick Quarters

Simple Eco-Houses on the Upswing

A new Ukrainian homebuilding startup called Passivdom uses a 3-D printing robot to produce parts for tiny houses.

The machine can print the walls, roof and floor of the company’s 380-square-foot model in about eight hours.

The windows, doors and self-contained plumbing, sewage and self-electrical systems are then added by a human worker. Solar energy is stored in a battery.

Filtered water collects from humidity in the air.

Prices start at $64,000 per house (Passivedom).

M.A.DI., in Italy, produces prefabricated A-frame houses in five sizes that can be set up anywhere. The basic model is rated an energy class B, but can be upgraded with an option of adding solar panels to make the structures energy-independent.

Homes made by Lifehaus blend low-cost, off-grid appeal with holistic living and luxurious details. The Lebanon company is pioneering energy-neutral dwellings made from locally sourced and recycled materials. Green home dwellers will also be able to generate electricity and grow their own food.

At the North American Climate Summit in Chicago last December, more than 50 mayors from around the globe signed the Chicago Climate Charter, intended to guide cities toward reaching greenhouse gas emissions reduction goals similar to the Paris climate accord. Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel says each mayor will pursue a customized plan, noting, “We’re all going to get to the same destination in our own way.” President Trump’s intended exit from the Paris agreement has sparked an uproar from leaders worldwide, especially mayors in cities long committed to reducing emissions.

Dozens of cities are committed to 100 percent clean and renewable energy goals and pledged to promote clean transit through using zero-emissions buses. Emanuel believes, “Climate change can be solved by human action.” Cities’ actions now may well pay off in the long run.

Deadly Cargo Oil Spill Threatens Ocean Ecology

Experts are warning that the Iranian tanker Sanchi oil spill in January in the East China Sea could potentially be one of the worst in decades. Scientists from the UK National Oceanography Centre and the University of Southampton are monitoring the disaster, believing it could

severely impact important reefs, fishing grounds and protected marine areas in Japan. They are also concerned by the toxic nature of the ultra-light, highly flammable oil and unknown impacts. Simon Boxall, with the centre, notes, “It’s not like crude, which does break down under natural microbial action. This stuff actually kills the microbes that break the oil down.”

Cleanup Cites Worst Plastic Polluters

A week-long beach cleanup and audit at Freedom Island in the Philippines last September exposed the companies most responsible for plastic pollution in the critical wetland habitat. The Greenpeace Philippines and #breakfreefromplastic movement audit, the first of its kind in the country, revealed that Nestlé, Unilever and the Indonesian company PT Torabika Mayora are the top three contributors of plastic waste discovered in the area, contributing to the more than 2 million tons of mismanaged plastic waste in the Philippines, the third-biggest source of plastic ocean pollution per year.

Plastic Bags Get the Boot

Boston will join 59 other Massachusetts municipalities and hundreds of others across the nation, including Seattle, Washington, and Washington, D.C., in banning single-use plastic shopping bags by the end of this year. Instead, Boston shoppers must bring their own totes or pay store owners five cents or more for a thicker, compostable plastic bag or a larger paper bag with handles. “This new ordinance protects the health of our neighborhoods and environment, while at the same time easing the burden on taxpayers and saving local retailers millions,” says Kirstie Pecci, director of the Conservation Law Foundation’s Zero Waste Project.

Eco-Villains

Website Opens Up Private Land to Campers

A Portland startup online at LandApart. com is expanding the share-economy Airbnb-model concept to private landowners and campers. People that want to camp or rent a cabin in a beautiful area can pay a private landowner for access. CEO Ven Gist says the move is in part a response to sometimes crowded public lands that often cannot be reserved. He says, “We’re basically collaborating with landowners to open up new wild spaces that people can find and book for truly secluded, unique outdoor experiences.” Prices average between $30 and $40 per night.

Green Team Seattle Mariners Win Eco-Award

CenturyLink Field and Safeco Field, homes of the National Football League Seahawks and Major League Baseball (MLB) Mariners, respectively, introduced a Strawless in Seattle campaign last September. More than 100 local businesses joined with the Lonely Whale Foundation to help eliminate plastic waste.

Safeco Field is the most sustainable baseball facility today, recycling 96 percent of all waste generated last season. As a result, the Mariners earned MLB’s Green Glove Award for 2017. Every food service item is recyclable or compostable, and cleaning crews manually separate waste items from recyclables after every game.

The Mariners have been playing under energy-efficient LED lights since 2014, the first MLB ball club to do so. The team also added a 450-square-foot urban garden before the 2016 season that provides fresh vegetables and herbs for the concession stands.

Good for People and the Planet

by John D. Ivanko and Lisa Kivirist

any people define a livable city as one that is easy to get around in by foot, bike or public transportation. Many also prioritize ready access to fresh, local, organic food via farmers’ markets and community gardens. Others champion affordable housing and cost of living factors, safe neighborhoods with a diversity of people, careful stewardship of clean air and water, and plentiful amenities, including considerable open space and natural settings.

Many work to preserve and enhance a sense of place suited to the locale.

Partners for Livable Communities, a national nonprofit in Washington, D.C., that renews and restores communities, maintains, “Livability is the sum of the factors that add up to a community’s quality of life, including the built and natural environments, economic prosperity, social stability and equity, educational opportunity and cultural, entertainment and recreation possibilities.” The American Association of Retired Persons considers livable communities as age-friendly for young and old alike.

Along with economic opportunities, a leading stimulus in moving to urban 28

centers is, “More people are looking for a sociable environment where they can walk out of their door to the shops or transit and be among others they recognize who also recognize them,” observes Suzanne Lennard, director of the International Making Cities Livable Conferences, LLC, in Portland, Oregon. “People who have traveled abroad, especially to Europe, and tasted the quality of life possible in a truly livable, walkable, beautiful and sociable city, often want to find such a place to live themselves.”

Following are a few examples of America’s many livable cities. More are transitioning and evolving as city planners, government officials, businesses and nonprofit community organizations strive to make their hometowns both people- and planet-friendly, often through public and private partnerships.

Street-Scene Renaissance

In Pittsburgh, revitalization is transforming 10,000 parcels of vacant or abandoned land—some where steel mills formerly operated—into greenspace, bike lanes and other enticing and productive public areas.

LIVABLE COMMUNITIES WE LOVE

“Biking and our food scene have exploded,” says Chris Sandvig, director of policy with the Pittsburgh Community Reinvestment Group, which advocates for equitable urban revitalization through their Vacant Property Working Group, helping communities access blighted areas for pennies on the dollar.

“We’re now one of the top 10 bicycling commuter cities in the country. People also come here as food tourists due to vibrant local agricultural activity.”

“A related ideal is to create compact, human-scale, mixed-use urban centers in the suburbs that are less expensive to construct—and thus remain more affordable— while placing shops, schools, parks, services, workplaces and public transit within walking and biking distance,” Lennard notes. “This ensures a healthy, affordable and high quality of life for all; suburban, as well as urban.”

Fast-growing Carmel, Indiana, just north of Indianapolis, is following suit. “After years of watching the suburbs sprawl into subdivisions with large lawns, privacy fences and cul-de-sacs, we created a vibrant central core with apartments, townhomes, condos and new options for smaller homes—all within walking distance or a short bike ride to new places to work, shop and dine,” explains Mayor James Brainard. The design efforts serve people instead of cars.

“Carmel has spent the last 20-plus years building more than 900 miles of trails and multi-use pathways, enabling residents to commute by bicycle to work and enjoy easy access to a growing number of parks and recreational areas,” says Brainard. To facilitate traffic flow, some 100 roundabouts replaced stoplights and four-way stops.

“Reducing traffic congestion has improved our air quality, and saved gasoline and lives.”

A new, mixed-use downtown Arts and Design District includes a Center for the Performing Arts with a Center Green that hosts a farmers’ market in summer and an outdoor Christkindlmarkt and outdoor skating rink in winter.

“The old way of doing things in which cities and towns sat back and let the market dictate how a community should be grown must come to an end,” remarks Brainard, advocating the benefits of local governance.

Smart City Advantages Key elements of smart cities—sensors, cameras, data analytics and powerful networks that capture and relay vital information— help them become more energy-efficient or quicker to respond to environmental and residential issues. Such products highlighted the 2018 Consumer Electronics Show, in Las Vegas. Reducing traffic can also contribute to safer highways and shorter commutes with decreased greenhouse gas emissions.

“Citizens are using apps to monitor issues and alert city managers, improving the livability of their communities,” explains Steve Koenig, senior director of market research with the Consumer Technology Association.

In Boston, the app BOS:311 allows residents to instantaneously notify government departments of pollution concerns, like blocked drains and other environmental or community needs, feeding the information directly into the city’s work order system via their mobile phone. This real-time collaboration results in a cleaner, safer and healthier city.

The Envision Charlotte project encompasses interactive kiosks in 64 businesses and government buildings citywide, gathering energy usage data for office buildings to increase energy efficiency and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. So far, energy consumption has dropped 19 percent, saving companies about $26 million. The program has strengthened economic competitiveness and environmental sustainability.

Nature in the City

Some cities have focused on the natural environment for improving local livability while mitigating contributions to climate change. Forested open spaces, wetlands and protected watersheds improve air quality, protect drinking water and buffer intense storms. Such areas also connect more people with nature and engage them in communal and healthy outdoor recreation.

Portland, Oregon, boasts more than 10,000 acres of parks, plus an innovative Biketown sharing program that has facilitated 160,000 bike trips since its launch in 2016.

The city’s Bike Bill requires all new streets to accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians by

design. Portland also embraces urban gardens and allows residents to raise chickens, bees, goats or rabbits in their backyards.

No one wants to live where pollution runs unchecked or water is unsafe to drink.

Philadelphia’s Green City, Clean Waters program works to keep stormwater out of sewers and reduce rainwater runoff through decentralized soil-based and plant-based systems, including pervious pavement, green roofs and rain gardens. Begun in 2011, its goal is to reduce rainwater runoff by 85 percent by 2036. Rainwater has become a valuable community resource.

The program is just one of many ways that the City of Brotherly Love is transforming itself into one of the greenest in the United States. Overseen by the city’s Office of Sustainability, Greenworks Philadelphia devises long-term sustainability strategies that encompass eight facets, including clean and efficient energy, carbon-neutrality and zero waste. Preparations are already underway to cope with a hotter, wetter future.

Preserving a Sense of Place

Making communities livable goes beyond infrastructure. Actions usually involve preserving, protecting and enhancing what appeals to residents. Santa Fe, New Mexico, is one example of many where livability priorities are guided by the values of its residents and its sense of place.

“From our historic public square and marketplaces to outdoor cafes, farmers’ markets and community festivals; from humanscale architecture and balanced transportation to pedestrian and bicycle networks, this place represents shared values,” says Mayor Javier M. Gonzales. “Santa Fe is also full of public art. The city is designed to be safe, creative and inspiring for young and old, families of all kinds and everyone else that comes to see us.”

Good Life as Kids See It

Ultimately, making cities move livable for children can make them highly livable for all.

“Children need the same things from a city that we all need, but their needs are greater than ours,” says Lennard. “The environment a child grows up in shapes their health and

their mental and social development for the rest of their lives. Our modern, unwalkable suburban environments are contributing to childhood obesity, which has been widely linked to chronic diseases that in the past were only associated with old age.”

She notes, “Children need the exercise of walking or biking to school. They need safe streets so they can become independent and explore their neighborhoods; sidewalks and other outdoor areas where they can play, meet friends and interact with adults in the community; easy access to nature; beauty in their environment; and intriguing architecture, works of art and other places to stimulate their affection and imagination. As they become teenagers, they need access by foot or bike to a wide variety of resources to broaden their horizons. Don’t we all need these things?”

Peter Gros on Preserving Wild Nature

by Sandra Murphy

P

eter Gros, co-host of the original Mutual of Omaha’s Wild Kingdom TV show, wildlife expert and environmental conservationist, now educates groups of young people that spend more time on their handheld devices than they do outdoors.

His message impresses upon the next generation the importance of wildlife and open spaces as they gift us with heartfelt awe and balance, and engage us with nature to offset manmade lives.

His 30 years of field experiences include serving as a wildlife lecturer and licensed U.S. Department of Agriculture exhibitor.

An active member of the American Zoo and Aquariums Association and the Zoological Association of America, Gros is also on the board of directors of the Suisun Marsh Natural History Association and a trustee for the Cheetah Conservation Fund. He lives in Seattle and spends time in national forests when not speaking to groups.

Which animals are most often displaced by development so that we now share space with them?

Deer, raccoons, alligators and coyotes are common neighbors, depending on where you live. The deer population used to be controlled by natural predators like wolves; without wolves, deer can overpopulate.

The best thing to remember is that animals go where there’s a food supply. Gardens attract deer; cat or dog food left out brings raccoons. Coyotes and alligators must lose 30

their fear of humans in order to eat. Don’t feed, tease or interact with them. Take photos from a distance.

Call your local government animal agency for help or referral to a licensed animal rehabber before “rescuing” an abandoned baby; mothers often spend periods of time away hunting for food.

Why are some animals in danger of being killed on sight?

We react to snakes, wolves and bats from a place of unfounded fears: snakes don’t have facial expressions, are seen as cold or slimy and move quickly; wolves are dangerous; bats can tangle in your hair.

These are all tall tales. Animals want to avoid us.

We’ve reacted to our own fears with needless snake roundups, bounties on wolves and panic when a tiny bat swoops by.

Historically, there have been no attacks on humans by wolves, and reintroducing them into Yellowstone National Park has restored a natural balance. Snakes keep diseasecarrying rodents away. Bats use their radar to steer clear.

We need to understand each animal’s purpose and place in nature. Feeding wildlife corrupts natural behaviors and removes their fear of humans. When we deem them a nuisance or inconvenient, we treat them like they’re disposable and have no value.

It’s better for everyone to enjoy the fact that animals are there and keep our distance.

Who else is working to educate people about the importance of

napalmbeach.com

wildlife and habitat?

Zoos used to be concrete-enclosed collections of animals. Now they are education centers, offering enrichment programs and improved natural habitats to keep the animals active and interested. Waterfalls, swimming pools, trees, puzzles and toys that prompt animals to mimic hunting behaviors help keep a resident animal’s mind and body active.

Breeding programs help maintain endangered species. We’re able to study and learn about a species while caring for them. One breeding program I worked with focused on spotted and striped big cats: the leopards and tigers. In another, we used incubators to hatch eggs among a threatened ostrich population. In Big Sur, California, condors have been raised with puppets so they wouldn’t imprint on humans before being released. Nature and science centers across the country are also teaching people about the importance of animals.

What makes you hopeful for the future?

Each of us can make a daily difference in preserving our natural world. I’ve been fortunate in being able to showcase wild animals, help endangered or protected species and share what I’ve learned in educational forums.

Good news includes sighting of the black-footed ferret, once thought to be extinct. Mountain lions are recovering.

We are learning from past mistakes. A big lesson is that what nature provides isn’t in endless supply, so we must be wise and frugal with all of our natural resources.

What are you most passionate about?

No one should have a wild or exotic animal as a pet. The animals I show to audiences were bottle-raised or rescued. They can’t be released and so have become animal ambassadors. When people see them, they better understand the importance of nature and wildlife to people and the planet. I’m passionate about preserving wildlife and open spaces.

DOING NOTHING Why Timeouts Matter

I

by April Thompson

n a harried world where our work is never done, it’s tough to take timeouts to do nothing. Yet, when we pump the brakes on Americans’ obsessive drive, we discover fresh productivity, creativity and contentment.

“We’re socialized to pride ourselves on accomplishment and achievement, yet when you step back, you realize doing nothing produces a valuable currency, especially in enhanced mental health,” says Colleen Long, a Boston psychologist and author of Happiness in B.A.L.A.N.C.E: What We Know Now About Happiness.

Italians call it la dolce far niente, or the sweetness of doing nothing, while the Dutch word niksen translates as “doing something without a purpose”. Here are a few tips to reclaim the art of be-ing over do-ing.

Mindfully do nothing. It’s not about veg-

It looks different for different people. “Before I had kids, my ‘nothing time’ might be just being out in nature or simply doing one thing mindfully at a time, like washing dishes. Now I incorporate the principle into family time. One day a week, I shut off the phone, get on the floor with my kids and just let life get messy.”

Health Concerns Revolutionize the Cosmetics Industry

~Anthony J. D’Angelo

All-Natural Beauty

F

rom red carpets to Teen Vogue magazine, the natural beauty trend has taken the industry by storm. Consumer whims may have sparked its beginnings more than a decade ago, but demand is now spiking profits into the billions.

“Consumer need is influencing retailers to offer cleaner formulas reflecting firm eco-values,” says Karen Behnke, the pioneering entrepreneur who founded Juice Beauty, in San Rafael, California. Behnke aimed to create meaningful change in the industry when she assembled her dream team 13 years ago. The company now owns a trailblazing patent and sets the standard for clinical organics.

“We’re excited that traditional department stores such as Bloomingdale’s, Neiman Marcus and Holt Renfrew are adding our products to their beauty departments,” says Behnke, who attributes Juice Beauty’s tremendous growth in recent years to a surge of interest in chemical-free, luxury alternatives.

Natural Replaces Toxic A recent Green Beauty Barometer online survey revealed that more than half of

napalmbeach.com

women want their skincare products to be all-natural, a result likely driven by the scientific information age (see KariGran. com/pages/greenbeauty for details). Reputable scientific studies revealing parabens in breast cancer biopsies have demonstrated that everything applied to the skin also enters the bloodstream, hence the effectiveness of dermal nicotine and birth control patches. Thus, it can be alarming to realize that the average woman will unknowingly consume seven pounds of lipstick containing petroleum-based emollients, synthetic preservatives and artificial dyes during a lifetime, undoubtedly another reason consumers are switching to natural options.

Katey Denno, a Los Angeles makeup artist to the stars, noticed cosmetic red flags early in her career. “The first time I turned over a palette that most makeup artists carry and saw specific colors that couldn’t be used on eyes or lips, I was confused; if something isn’t safe for lips or eyes, how can it be good for any part of us?” queries Denno, who switched from social work to makeup artistry 11 years ago. “The change in the industry has been substantial. Now green is

Millennials continue to drive consumer demand for higher standards. “Retailers understand that the skincare/makeup landscape is changing,” advises Behnke.

“Traditional brands are no longer attracting younger consumers that are demanding organic, clinically validated products.”

Denno concurs, stating, “The spotlight on clean products comes from the growing acknowledgement that we can and must do all we can to lower our overall toxic load.”

Demand Escalates Women are fueling the natural beauty movement, yet more men than ever are also seeking healthy alternatives. Grooming products with unisex packaging and fragrances are among top sellers. Informed teen and 20-something buyers are inclined to choose people- and eco-friendly brands that are also cruelty-free.

A wide selection of aluminum-free, natural, personal care products including underarm deodorants are showing up in supermarkets. Women are ditching toxic hair dyes and going silver to avoid thinning hair and allergies, and unwittingly, creating a new fashion statement. Plus, there’s growing interest in DIY cosmetics using everyday good-for-you ingredients found in the kitchen.

Artisan perfumes are gaining popularity among women that want the mystery and allure of fragrance without the side effects of manmade, chemical-based brands. “Some new customers are frustrated by commercial products giving them headaches, while others say that they just don’t like perfume, when what they actually don’t like is synthetic fragrance chemicals,” says Ananda Wilson, a botanical perfumer and owner of Gather Perfume, in South Hadley, Massachusetts.

“It’s inspiring when they smell real plant scents and see how their world lights up! The molecules in natural perfumes are active and interact with personal chemistry,

so they unfold differently on each wearer, creating a unique signature and experience.”

Wilson ventured into botanical blends when both awareness and supplies of appropriate ingredients were scarce. “Perfume history is largely rooted in natural materials, but until recently, there was a mass blackout of this precious lineage. When I started, there was barely anything available, and only through a handful of aromatherapy companies,” she explains. Now, Wilson bases her products on botanical infusions from plants she’s grown or collected, including wild beach roses, clover and spring poplar buds.

It only takes a whiff to dispel the myth that natural perfumes lack sophistication or tenacity. “Naturals have a breadth of possibilities—opulent white florals, fresh and clean, or dirty and smoky,” expounds Wilson.

Eco-beauty is emerging from conscious lifestyle choices and creating the next era of cosmetics. “It’s fun to be called a pioneer in organic beauty,” muses Behnke. “Our products, employees and happy customers comprise an encouraging accomplishment.”

ombining regular exercise with quality family time can be an enjoyable and fun way to realize a healthier lifestyle.

Running together in fresh air, preferably in natural settings, allows children as young as 5 to safely join in.

Physical and Emotional Perks

Families and coaches agree that running benefits both body and psyche. “Running as a family is an incredibly bonding experience, putting aside some of the usual conflicts and perceived hierarchies and just coming together,” says William Pullen, a London, England, psychotherapist and author of Running with Mindfulness: Dynamic Running Therapy (DRT) to Improve Low-mood, Anxiety, Stress, and Depression. “Running also gives us a place where we can develop skills like building confidence and competency.”

Marc Bloom, of Princeton, New Jersey, author of Young Runners: The Complete Guide to Healthy Running for Kids From 5 to 18 and The Runner’s Bible, concurs, stating, “Running as a family can give parents the opportunity to be good role models by instilling values of health, fitness and togetherness.”

Experts emphasize the fun factor. Pullen encourages both parents and kids to get out of their heads and into their bodies.

“Concentrating on breath, posture, sensation and location all help make running mindful,” he suggests.

“The important thing is to show up. It’s about participation, not breaking personal bests,” Pullen continues. Kids can play a game

while running, such as silently counting steps, trees or other runners.” Mindfulness can also include sharing how it feels to run and meeting challenges along the way.

Bloom suggests tuning in to nature. “Being in beautiful surroundings or watching for animals can promote mindfulness,” he says. “It can be spiritual.”

Safe Start

For beginners, experts recommend approaching running as a desirable pastime and adopting a slow, easy pace. “Always make running fun, not a chore,” encourages Bloom. “Frame it as being outside, playing and sharing with friends and family. Make a game of it as much as possible.”

Whether a family chooses to run in the park or in a community race, experts stress the importance of not setting goals. “Make it pleasurable. Don’t worry about time and distance. Start with short distances, maybe a block or two for novice runners or very young children,” advises running coach Jeremy Sanders, from Winchester, Virginia. “Be patient. Some days, the kids will get cramps.

They may whine or get moody. Other days, they will be happy and content. Don’t let one bad run ruin the opportunity to try again another time.”

Running coaches and seasoned runners agree that it is wise to tailor runs according to age and fitness levels. “Kids can begin at school age, 5 or 6; but start them with a few minutes and then add more, up to 15 minutes to a half an hour or so a few days a week.

Always mix in sprints for short attention spans. Keep it simple.

No fancy running shoes are needed when starting, just regular sneakers,” advises Bloom. “For teens, 30 to 45 minutes at a time a few times a week is fine, provided that they have bona fide running shoes.”

Inspiration

Finding inspiration as a family can include running for worthy causes; most communities host charity runs. “This can become a focal point for getting in shape, raising money and running for the greater good, not just yourself,” says Bloom.

Mindful running presents regular opportunities to explore new places, focus on details that often go unnoticed and make exercise an active meditation for all involved. “Show kids how to notice what is going on around them when they run,” suggests Pullen.

“You can read up and educate yourselves on trees, geology or the change of seasons so they feel a powerful sense of connection and freedom.”

Whether running as a family is motivated by a desire to stay fit, get someplace or simply share more quality time, being in the present moment is most important. “Life is not about striving all the time,” exhorts Pullen. “Take the kids out. Keep it fun and make it into an adventure.”

etting enough sleep—or not—has a trickle-down effect. A study in the Journal of Obesity shows that good quality shut-eye helps us reduce stress, lose weight and function better.

Research also shows that most Americans would be healthier, happier and safer going about their daily activities if they slept 60 to 90 more minutes each night, according to the American Psychological Association.

A consistent sleep routine helps enable a good night’s rest, with activities like going to bed at the same time whenever possible; shutting down the Internet, email and text messaging at least an hour before bedtime; and limiting intake of caffeine and alcohol.

Another best practice is eating foods that help us relax, fall and stay asleep. Four primary sleep-promoting vitamins and minerals naturally found in foods are tryptophan, magnesium, calcium and vitamin B6. Some of these help the body produce melatonin, the hormone responsible for regulating the body’s sleep/wake patterns called circadian rhythms.

Others enhance serotonin, which carries nerve signals and relays messages in the brain related to mood and sleep.

Some foods are naturally packed with these essential vitamins and minerals, and

eating certain foods at certain times can help us tip the scale towards a successful night of restful sleep.

1

Kiwi. Full of vitamins C and E, serotonin and folate, kiwi can help us sleep longer. In a study at Taipei Medical University, in Taiwan, researchers had participants eat two kiwifruits one hour before bedtime for four weeks.

Total sleep time improved by 13.4 percent.

2

Soy. In a Japanese study published in the Nutrition Journal, researchers surveyed 1,076 participants between 20 and 78 on how often they ate soy products, which are rich in sleep-enhancing isoflavones. Those that ate the most soy foods enjoyed deeper, more sustained sleep. Researchers concluded that soy’s isoflavones help regulate the sleep/wake cycle.

Fish. Salmon, halibut, mackerel and tuna help boost the production of vitamin B6, which helps make melatonin. A recent study from the University of Pennsylvania published in Scientific Reports found that eating more fish led both to better sleep and improved cognitive function in children.

Fiber-rich foods. Choices such as chia seeds, nuts and whole grains help promote restorative “slow-wave” sleep, according to the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.

Calcium-fortified yogurt. According to Dr. William Sears, a pediatrician in Pasadena, California, and author of The Baby Sleep Book: The Complete Guide to a Good Night’s Rest for the Whole Family, “Calcium helps the brain use the amino acid tryptophan to manufacture the sleep-inducing substance melatonin. This explains why dairy products, which contain both tryptophan and calcium, are some of the top sleep-inducing foods.”

Bananas. Rich in potassium, magnesium, tryptophan and vitamin B6, which are used to make melatonin, bananas help promote good sleep.

A study in the Journal of Pineal Research found that men that ate two bananas at a time for a week had a rise in melatonin

that reached a peak two hours later; pineapple juice and orange juice also raised those levels.

8

Walnuts. Eating a handful of walnuts an hour before bedtime provides fibersupporting, restorative, slow-wave sleep, concluded a study in the journal Nutrition. Plus, walnuts are a good source of tryptophan, which helps make serotonin and melatonin; University of Texas researchers also found that walnuts contain their own source of melatonin.

9

Dark leafy greens.

Kale, spinach and collard greens are among the magnesium-rich greens that can help us de-stress and go to sleep, says Dr. Raj Dasgupta, a professor of pulmonary and sleep medicine at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles.

10

Almonds and dates. Nerina Ramlakhan, Ph.D., a London sleep therapist and author of Fast Asleep but Wide Wake: Discover the Secrets of Restorative Sleep and Vibrant Energy, counsels her clients to start at breakfast by eating eight almonds and two dates.

These two fiber-rich foods are able to slowly help produce melatonin for later in the day.

We Need Clean Waters Streams and Rivers Are Life Links

reeks, streams and rivers flow into ponds, lakes and oceans, carrying pollution. Keeping large bodies of water clean starts with local waterways.

As awareness of this need rises, some rivers in Africa, India, New Zealand and elsewhere are being protected and recognized as living entities, with rights, values and the legal status of people. While court cases brought by commercial interests are challenging such decisions, progress continues on many fronts.

Cleanup Success Stories

“The Fox River’s been our treasure since Native Americans paddled there,” says Barbara Smits, part-owner of Old Northwest Frontier Tours, provider of self-guided auto, bicycle and walking tours via eBook, in De Pere, Wisconsin. “To see people sail, boat, ice fish or sightsee here again is a joy.” The Fox River Cleanup Project, a multi-year effort covering 13 miles that began in 2009, reduces the health and environmental risks from poly38

chlorinated biphenyls (PCB) in the sediment.

Lake Winnebago, source of the lower Fox River, is currently stewarded under the 2000 Lake Sturgeon Management Plan.

Recent meetings have sought citizen input for updates in managing sturgeon stock.

In Athens County, Ohio, Michelle Shively, in Trimble, is Sunday Creek’s watershed coordinator. “Every minute, 850 to 1,000 gallons of polluted water from an underground mine pool flows into the creek, turning the water orange from iron waste. Once the iron is removed, you need to do something with it,” she says.

Guy Riefler, Ph.D., an associate professor of civil engineering, and John Sabraw, professor of art and chair of a painting and drawing program, both with Ohio University, in Athens, found a way to wash, dry and pulverize recovered iron. It will be sold to Gamblin Artists Colors to make oil paints for artists in mustardy ochre, rusty red and violet tones. Not yet widely available, 500 sample tubes of Reclaimed Earth Violet were

featured at an initial fundraiser. “Cleaning water is expensive, but now we’ve turned the problem into a method to fund more work,” says Shively.

Throughout history, river dams have been built to provide power or irrigation, prevent flooding and provide municipal water needs. Of approximately 80,000 threefoot-tall or higher U.S. dams, only about 2,500 produce hydropower. Removal of old dams no longer serving their original function can restore entire watershed ecosystems, provide habitat for fish and wildlife, add jobs, improve water quality, reinstate natural sediment and nutrient flow, and save taxpayer dollars.

Built in 1929 and abandoned after World War II, demolition of an Eklutna River dam, in Alaska, began in 2016. Curtis McQueen, an Eklutna tribal leader and CEO of Eklutna Inc., which now owns the dam, reported that 300,000 cubic yards of sediment had amassed there, along with junked cars, TVs and other trash. The tribe is the first in the nation to be involved in such a massive project, intended to restore its historic salmon population.

In 2017, dams were removed in Alaska, California, Connecticut, Indiana, Iowa, Kentucky, Maine, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Vermont, Washington and Wisconsin.

A map at Tinyurl.com/DamRemovals shows dams taken down since 1916.

“The good news is that in meetings like the St. Louis River Summit, in Superior, Wisconsin, in March, clean water wasn’t viewed only in a strictly scientific sense, but added the human factor to produce more diverse solutions,” says Wallace J. Nichols, Ph.D., the Monterey Bay, California, author of Blue Mind: The Surprising Science That Shows How Being Near, In, On, or Under Water Can Make You Happier, Healthier, More Connected, and Better at What You Do. “The bad news is that most projects are funded, directly or indirectly, by the federal government. Cuts add challenges and stress to looking for solutions.”

Water is life, and clean water means health. ~Audrey Hepburn Duluth are among many that are protecting, restoring and rejuvenating riverfronts with increased public access, thus rekindling residents’ love for and recognition of the mental and physical benefits provided by their waterways.

“We’re in a period of big ideas,” says Nichols. Two can be easily implemented.

First, he explains, don’t build right on the water; instead, sit in the “second row”.

Second, gain perspective by experiencing changes in waterways.

“One way to do this is to spend an hour a day, or even an hour a week, in, on or near the water. Take someone new with you each time,” suggests Nichols. “You’ll see how best to value, promote and defend our right to clean water.”

Kids Love These Homemade Drinks

t day camp or the pool, on the playing field or in the backyard, kids can get really thirsty, especially as temperatures climb. Although filtered water is always a good choice, sugary, carbonated, artificially colored and flavored beverages can be tempting. Having homemade options ready can entice kids to stay hydrated in a healthy way.

“As a sports nutritionist and mother of active kids, I know there’s a lot of misinformation out there, and I get all kinds of questions from parents about what drinks are best for kids,” says Jackie Berning, Ph.D., a registered dietitian, sports nutrition consultant and professor of health science at the University of Colorado, in Colorado Springs. “Parents need to know that all beverages are not created equal when it comes to hydrating them. The best [healthful] beverages taste good when your child is active, so encourage their drinking more of them,” she says.

napalmbeach.com

According to the National Alliance for Youth Sports, the recommended beverage contents for active kids during sports and other activities should contain at least 100 milligrams (mg) of sodium and at least 28 mg of potassium per eight ounces. It should be noncarbonated.

We asked two moms keen on nutrition how they include these elements in drinks that kids will like.

Mom Picks Michele Olivier, the mother of daughters Elliette and Parker, views herself as both a lover of food and a control freak. The Denver, Colorado, recipe blogger started off making food for her baby and toddler. As her kids grew and their nutritional needs changed, she created new recipes, including healthy sports drinks that both balance electrolytes and hydrate.

While Elliette loves water and has no trouble staying hydrated, Parker loves juice, so Mom had to “make something that looks like juice, but is healthy,” says Olivier. Four

main ingredients are a little frozen fruit left over from breakfast smoothies, a bit of honey for sweetening, a dash of Himalayan sea salt and water, or herbal tea or coconut water. She might also add fresh mint, ginger or other natural flavorings (BabyFoode.com).

Heather Dessinger, a mom of three and blogger of recipes and natural mothering tips from Santa Fe, Tennessee, makes a drink based on coconut water with lime juice, raw honey and sea salt for older kids that play soccer or other warm-weather sports. Dessinger describes herself as a researcher and

healthy living DIY fan (Mommypotamus.com).

With homemade drinks, we know exactly what is—and what isn’t—in them. They can be made in batches and kept in the refrigerator. Dessinger relates, “I’ve found that when I make a batch with honey, which is naturally antimicrobial, and store it in the coldest part of the fridge, my homemade sports drink lasts for at least a week.”

Pets Welcome Here Happy Places to Live and Travel Together

s of last year, 90 million dogs lived in American homes. Including cats, birds, fish, small animals and reptiles, the grand total is 393 million, reports the American Pet Products Association.

Pets are considered family members by 95 percent of their people. Accordingly, pets are a key consideration in choosing a friendly place to live or visit.

The personal finance website WalletHub analyzed the most petfriendly U.S. cities encompassing criteria inclusive of access to veterinarians and cost, pet insurance rates, pet-friendly restaurants, pet-centric businesses, dog parks and animal shelters. SmartAsset, a personal finance technology company, ranked cities by dog parks, pet-friendly restaurants and stores, walkability, weather and housing costs. Unsurprisingly, many high picks are in warmer climates.

What to Seek

“First, look for pet-friendly landlords. Space to play, socialize and exercise animals is next on my list, followed by breweries and restaurants that allow dogs on their patios,” says Alexandra Bassett, a professional dog trainer and owner of Dog Savvy Los Angeles. “I hike off-leash in Runyon Canyon and we visit the Pawbar at Pussy & Pooch, a pet lifestyle boutique, to mingle and sample treats. Food is the fastest way to make a dog comfortable in just about any setting.”

Irvine and Carlsbad, California, and Portland, Maine, are among the first cities to ban use of toxic pesticides in public areas and homes, following pressure from local groups. Being closer to the ground and smaller in size, pets suffer adverse reactions faster than humans. Contact local environmental groups to help ban harmful insecticides and herbicides in public areas.

In Pasco County, Florida, Epperson Community homes exemplify eco- and pet-friendly planning, with open spaces and solar power-lit trails for jogging and walking. Birdhouses throughout the property wel42

Favorite Activities

Sara Nick, chief content officer at Sidewalk Dog Media, in Minneapolis, suggests experiencing unique adventures. Dog paddling takes on new meaning via stand-up paddleboarding with a pooch at Minnesota’s Split

Rock Lighthouse and Tettegouche state parks.

Whatever the weather, equine-friendly pups can ride along in a horse-drawn carriage from Doubletree Carriage Company, in Spring Valley. Dogs are welcome to watch or snooze through film showings at the Long Drive-In, in Long Prairie.

Birgit and Jim Walker, authors of Keep Your Paws on the Road: A Practical Guide to Traveling with Dogs, travel by RV in summer with their three dogs to favorite stops like Tombstone, Arizona. “Some tourist areas don’t welcome dogs, but in Tombstone, dogs can go for stagecoach rides and down into a mine with you,” she says.

Kim Salerno, president and founder of TripsWithPets.com, in Wake Forest, North Carolina, recommends Kimpton or Aloft hotels. “Kimpton accepts any pet, any size, weight, breed or species. Amenities include a bed, treats, a water bowl and toys with no additional pet fee,” she says.

Salerno continues, “In Asheville, dogs are allowed on the grounds of the Biltmore Estate. The Ernest Hemingway House, in Key West, Florida, allows small, cat-friendly dogs.

Boutiques, feed stores, wineries and art galleries may say yes to pets. Ask first and make sure your pet is well-behaved.”

Whether at home or traveling, families can enjoy many opportunities to share new experiences with pets. Just be sure they mind their manners to have a good time.

Colony Cove, in Ellenton, Florida, is a 55-plus retirement community that allows multiple pets, including some breeds banned elsewhere. It maintains a large dog park, and at summer’s end, dogs are welcome to take a dip in the pool. Further, the association offers mobile groomers, photos with Santa and costume contests.

All species are welcome at Rose Villa Senior Living, in Portland, Oregon, where residents’ request for an off-leash dog park play area was granted. One resident owns two dogs, two cats and an African gray parrot.

SMOKING Cessation Therapy

By William H. Stager, DO, MS, MPH, FAAFP, FAAMA, FAAO, FACOFP dist.

T

he number one health problem in America is tobacco use; and you’ll notice I didn’t say just smoking, but all forms of tobacco use. The statistics are staggering: it is estimated that close to half a million people in America and perhaps three million worldwide will die this year alone from tobacco use/abuse. That’s about one in five deaths in our country. It’s a social, medical, economic, political and environmental disaster.

The effects of tobacco use cost the U.S. economy about $100 billion a year. With 50 million “smoking” Americans (what an image!), we all need to do something to stem the tide of this enormous cause of illness and death.

Of the 4000 noxious, sickening and deadly chemicals, including 200 poisons and 43 carcinogens found in cigarette, cigar and pipe smoke, nicotine gets the most press and is one of the most physically and psychologically addicting chemicals. Inhaled nicotine reaches the brain as fast as if it was injected intravenously, in about 5 seconds, which explains its rapid effects, or “rush”. It has both stimulating and depressing effects. Life expectancy is reduced 5 to 8 years, or you can figure about a minute lost for every minute smoked. Cancers of the mouth, tongue, larynx, trachea, lungs, esophagus, kidney, bladder, prostate, pancreas, liver, cervix, breast and skin are all linked to tobacco use; no matter whether you smoke it, chew it, sniff it, snort it or however you take your poison.

Tobacco use damages our heart and blood vessels. It causes

increases in heart rate and blood pressure, but decreased perfusion to the heart, resulting in coronary spasms, heart disease, heart attacks, increased coagulation (blood clotting) and increased blood lipids (fats in the blood). Lung diseases, such as emphysema, chronic bronchitis, infections and cancer, are all caused by smoking. The list goes on and on because virtually all our internal organs are affected. That would include the fetus in the pregnant mother.

This brings us to the effects of passive smoke. It is estimated that approximately 50,000 nonsmokers will die in America this year alone from inhaling the poisons from smokers. A study showed that a nonsmoker married to a smoker doubled their risk of getting lung cancer. And children of smokers are at special risk because they can’t get away from it.

Health statistics estimate that between 150,000 to 300,000 children under age 18 months in our country will get respiratory illnesses each year from passive smoke exposure, with about one tenth of them requiring hospitalization. The statistics are even worse for children worldwide, with about half of all children regularly exposed to passive smoke.

Smokers say they smoke to reduce stress (imagine that lighting a fire close to your face and then deliberately inhaling its poisons would reduce your stress). If you are addicted to nicotine, then of course you will feel stress due to nicotine withdrawal between cigarettes/cigars/pipes; and smoking will reverse the withdrawal and calm your stress. People who smoke to relieve stress should be told that studies show that nonsmokers have lower stress levels than smokers.

Don’t let anyone tell you that smoking other than cigarettes is any better. Pipes and cigars contain all the same poisons; in fact in higher concentrations. Their passive smoke is also worse. The image of the soave, sophisticated pipe or cigar smoker is totally ludicrous and insidious. Low nicotine cigarettes are no better, because smokers simply inhale more often, more deeply and buy more cigarettes! And smokeless tobacco products such as chewing tobacco or snuff also are addicting and have serious health consequences. Smoking marijuana contains 3 times the tar of cigarettes, and many of the same carcinogens. E-cigarettes contain the same nicotine, and are currently undergoing much legislative scrutiny

and regulation because of their dangers.

So quitting smoking or any tobacco use/abuse obviously lessens the chance of all these nasty things happening to you. It is said that 5 to 10 years after quitting, the former smoker’s risk declines to only slightly higher that that of nonsmokers. Since nicotine is the major addicting culprit, nicotine replacement therapy has evolved over the years, with some products being over-the-counter and some by prescription. Nicotine gum, transdermal patches, nasal spray and oral inhalers, as well as Chantix and Zyban, all have been developed to help smokers quit. They can also be used in various combinations depending on the person’s needs.

Counseling, behavioral therapies and hypnosis all work very well, also. Since smoking is a complex physical, emotional and behavioral activity, a variety of methods and skills may be explored, learned and used. Information, encouragement, communication and support all form a basis for getting through it.

Studies show that vitamin C (500 mg/day) and vitamin E (400 IU/day) help mitigate the effects of smoking through their antioxidant properties. We burn up our B vitamins when smoking or under any stress, so remember to take your B-complex. Acupuncture can sometimes help addictions. Homeopathy works as well, and great store-bought remedies for stress are the Bach Flower Remedies which I recommend all the time.

The internet is an enormous source of information for smokers who want to quit. Right here in Florida, our Department of Health offers you to call the Quit-For-Life hotline at 1-877- U CAN NOW. It is managed by American Cancer Society counselors who can offer counseling sessions, self-help materials and discounted nicotine replacement therapy. And it’s available in English, Spanish, Haitian Creole and TDD for the hearing impaired. Seek the help of friend, family and the appropriate health care practitioners. You can do it now!

The band’s high energy and ability to reproduce the persona of each member with mannerisms, authentic gear and stage outfits, allows the band to fully recreate the Rolling Stones’ concert experience. Fans might just get the “satisfaction” they’ve been searching for.

with Margaret Ann Lembo. FREE Talk, Animal Card Messages, and Cake! Do you know the symbolic meaning of animals that cross your path? Do you have an affinity for certain animals?

All creatures, great and small, in all species on this planet are interconnected. When an animal, insect, bird, or other creature from nature appears

repetitively, whether, in real life or dreams, there are many teachings available through the observation of a particular animal totem and their habits and patterns. The associated gemstone for each animal totem is a further indication of the energy of the animal as symbolism. The color, formation, and the manner in which the stone grows in the Earth offers a teaching to know yourself and your life purpose. Matching the teachings of animals with the teachings of gemstones, Margaret Ann Lembo shows how there is symbolism all around you offering clues to light your path. Margaret Ann will provide short animal messages for the group from the new deck. Come get your copy of her new book and deck signed!

Heal the Mouth, Heal the Body

by Kristin T.

My name is Kristin T. and this is the story of how I got my life back by removing toxic metals, abscessed teeth and severe gum infection from my mouth.

W

hen I came to Dr. Cintron, I was exhausted from visiting all kinds of doctors, specialists and dentists. My uncle, also a dentist, told me not to have the metals removed.

He told me this type of dentistry is just a way to take money from people. I soon found how this was far from the truth.

Nothing was working; I was getting weaker and desperate. While doing my research, I realized I needed to find a holistic dentist because I was very sick.

I’d been sick for 8 years. I had skin rashes, muscle and joint pain and migraines. I was diagnosed with so many conditions, including fibromyalgia, autoimmune disorder and chronic fatigue. Testing showed that mercury from my dental fillings and other toxic metals were leaking into my body. I had tried everything medically to find out what was wrong with me, why my immune system would not work efficiently and was not able to carry so many toxic loads. Imagine, your body being like a garbage can full of garbage and “sanitation department on strike” for years; no wonder I was so sick. It was coming out of my skin and lungs.

My uncle, unfortunately, passed away Before Dr. Cintron and her team of professionals treated me I was so recently in his early 60s. He was rather scared. I would have nightmares about young and his death was quite a shock. my sickness and my teeth. I was very To my surprise, I later found out that depressed and anxious about my ap- he died from toxicity of the mouth bepearance and health. cause he too had amalMany times, I would gam fillings.
