newsbriefs HotWorks.org Presents 5th Annual Boca Raton Fine Art Show™ Downtown Boca Raton, Federal Hwy. at Palmetto Park Road Saturday & Sunday, January 25 & 26, 2014 Event Hot Line: 941-755-3088 Event Website: www.HotWorks.org Event Email: Info@HotWorks.org For More Information or Digital Images Please Contact: Patty Narozny at 941-755-3088 or email Patty@HotWorks.org Produced by Hot Works, LLC and Institute for the Arts & Education, Inc., PO Box 1425, Sarasota, FL 34230; a professionally produced fine art fair by a show director with a national standing and reputation. The Boca Raton Fine Art Show™ ranked #68 nationwide with 2012 Art Fair Source Book.

Show Hours- Saturday, January 25 & Sunday, January 26 from 10am-5pm daily. Free admission. There is plenty of patron parking at various metered street spots, 1st United Bank, HSBC Bank, First United Methodist Church, or St. Gregory’s Episcopal Church.

Juried Show- This fine art & fine craft event showcases worldrenowned artists from around the globe and top notch local artists including glass, clay, wood, fiber, jewelry, sculpture,

paintings, photography, and metal. All work is original and personally handmade by the artist in the show. There is art work for every budget – something for everyone. This event is juried by art professionals based on originality, execution, and overall presentation.

Approximately 125 accepted professional artists with all forms of discipline show their work for sale each year.

Artist Awards In order to attract high quality art, there is $1,500 in professional artist awards distributed as follows: two $500 Judge’s Award of Excellence & five $100 Awards of Excellence.

Artist Demonstrations: Art demonstrations will be taking place throughout the weekend. Patrons can learn techniques of how some of the art work is made.

Budding Artists Art Competition: As part of our commitment to include art education in the Boca Raton Fine Art Show™ and the Palm Beach County community as a whole, a budding artists art competition for grades 6th-12th or ages 9-19 is integrated into the event and provided a prime space within the show. This program is sponsored by the Institute for the Arts & Education, the associated 501-c3 nonprofit organization; there is $250 in Budding Artists awards. Young artists are encouraged to create their original and personally handmade art. Art programs are being dramatically cut back and eliminated in schools nationwide, thereby further underscoring the need for such initiatives. Not only is all the art work publicly displayed, the program helps teach budding, young artists the rules and requirements of being part of a professionally run art show and exhibition. The students are encouraged to speak with the professional artists in the show, and to ask them questions about participating in art shows as a career. The show provides these students with an unmatched learning experience. The program was a huge success in the past. The deadline to apply is December 31, 2013. There is a $3 entry fee for the Budding Artists Art Competition, and the maximum is two entries per student.

Family Fun: Kids! Join JM Lexus and help paint a car! Get your hands dirty and see what it is like to have some fun painting a Lexus with your hands! It will be your chance to be an artist at the show!

Live Entertainment: Various rhythmic musicians perform throughout the weekend for your listening pleasure.

See Art, Love Art, Buy Art! See You There!

Event Location: Located in downtown Boca Raton; on Federal Highway/Historic US-1, between N.E. 2nd Street and Palmetto Park Road, adjacent to Sanborn Square Park. For GPS purpose, please use address 71 N. Federal Highway, Boca Raton, FL 33432.

newsbriefs HOT YOGA JUPITER Media Detox. Challenge

A

challenge awaits the ready yogis, nonyogis, and yogi wannabes!

A call to clean out the cobwebs, inside and out! Join us as Hot Yoga Jupiter launches its first annual: Media Detox.

Take a hiatus from the t.v., the laptop, the blackberry, the media you are most attached to for just ONE WEEK. We aren’t asking you to shut out the world- our daily life duties call upon us and we must answer! Life requires us to engage with media through various means, check emails, voice mails, etc... those things are exempt. Barring these essentials, shed yourself for seven days of senseless internet surfing, reality t.v. shows, and the like.

This challenge affords us to think about the kinds and quality of media that we invite into our lives each day. The goal: to cut out some of the white noise that doesn’t really serve to benefit us. Is it television? Letting radio news drone in the background, filling you with anxiety? Identify where you are getting some possibly toxic media and cut it out for just 10 days. See what can happen.

Media Detox week will invite you to have a consciousness around habits, to see what the impulse is to plug in, what drives the habitual (sometimes obsessive) behavior. What is the feeling that preceded the moment when you might reach for the T.V., the internet, the phone?

Was it loneliness? Boredom? What was so scary about simply being in the moment without that interruption? We may also discover what would show up in the space where those things were.

2014 Winter Dzogchen Retreat Venerable Khenpo Tsewang Dongyal Rinpoche will offer the Empowerment of the One Thousand Buddhas of this Fortunate Aeon and Dzogchen Instructions of His Holiness Dudjom Rinpoche and the great terton Dudjom Lingpa

January 18–25, 2014 Please see our website PBDC.net for further information, registration forms, donation fee and a schedule, or call.

TO PARTICIPATE Just start! Figure out the media that is most an albatross to you, commit to quitting it for 10 days. Ideally recognize it is all non-work necessary media...

Thereafter, compose a simple account of your experience (whether you made it or not, why, and how it went, that simple!)

Submit your experience to HotYogaJupiter@gmail.con via email and all who submit are welcome to a complimentary class the week of theirvsunmisdion.

INCENTIVES Discover what might show up in the space that was freed to you during the 10 days. We all realize the benefits that this new tie has created- if only in awareness of negatives, less time, less quiet, less voids?

Get free yoga! Submit your essay including your name, phone number, and email by December 15. We will publish winners essay and announce shortly after. And if a tie for first exists, we may require a tie breaker. Regardless, at least 1 year of yoga is going to one of the lucky winners who participate.

For more information see HotYogaJupiter.com or pop in Jupiter’s newest yoga sanctuary located at 2163 S US Hwy One, Jupiter, FL 33477.

newsbriefs “MEET MY PSYCHIC FAMILY” Saturday, February 22, 2014 - Embassy Suites, Boca Raton

Generations of Psychics…

As a 6th Generation Psychic Intuitive, many people over the years asked me what it was like growing up with psychics and mediums. I explain it is the same as other families, except there are not many secrets you can hide!

Two months ago while having dinner with friends and family, my Psychic Aunt Joan began sharing a message with my friend Karen about her deceased mother who had passed a couple of months prior.

While Karen began crying with excitement, my Grandmother asked Karen to pass the bread. You see we are like other families, but at our dinner table, we have deceased loved ones joining us too. One thing for sure, my family is far from being dull!

Although my family has embraced their natural gifts, I did not until 10 years ago after a life-threatening illness. Once I learned how to heal myself, my intuition ignited to a new level.

Today I enjoy and am proud to connect, share knowledge, and work with my psychic family, as to previous years I would call them the “psycho” family. All kidding aside, everyone we meet loves my psychic

family, so I decided last year to organize an event where everyone could meet all of us at one location and experience our psychic mediumship skills.

O

ne of the many gifts that the late Ma Jaya brought to the world was the very unique and profound form of yoga called Kali Natha Yoga. More than just a physical workout, Kali Natha Yoga is comprised of a series of asanas in the form of a moving prayer which focus on a specific deity or spiritual quality or aspect. Apart from the physical body movements, Kali Natha Yoga incorporates the yogic tools of mantra (repetitive sound), mudras (specific hand positions) and pranayama (the control of the breath).

January 24-26, 2014 there will be the annual Kali Natha Yoga retreat, called The Soul’s Heart. This is open to anyone to experience. Participants will have the opportunity to steep in the essence of Kali Natha Yoga on the sacred grounds of Kashi Ashram. There will be mantra chanting, Kali Natha Yoga asanas, breath practices and meditations and also a session of yoga accompanied with kirtan which is particularly popular and transformative.

If this weekend retreat leaves you thirsty to experience more of the graceful and unique Kali Natha Yoga, you can consider signing up for the 200 hour weekend teacher training series which will run from February through July, 2014. This teacher training is an immersion in the essence of Kali Natha Yoga and has the potential to change your life!

The Soul’s Heart: January 24-26, 2014. Early bird $225. Kali Natha Yoga 200 hour weekend teacher training, Feb thru July, 2014For more info and to register online, visit www.kashischoolofyoga.org or call 772.589.1403 x 109.

f you are active, you have experienced them. On the other hand, if you are usually inactive, you will certainly experience them whenever you do have to do something active, probably more so than anyone else. There are many reasons a muscle may spasm. Some reasons include a muscle’s needs are not being met it terms of blood flow, the nerves which control the muscle are unduly excited (due to injury or anxiety/pain), or the body’s electrolytes are out of balance. Once a spasm happens, it causes pain and decreased blood circulation, which can make the spasm worse, make more pain, and the cycle can repeat.

For muscle spasms, regardless of how and why they find you, there are a few ways you can prevent them and keep them at bay.

Preventing Spasms: Stretching is the key to preventing them. It only takes a moment, and the price to pay for forgetting to stretch is just not worth it. Proper hydration and electrolyte balance is also crucial. Make certain to drink a slight excess of water as necessary, especially when working out, playing sports, or doing physically demanding work such as moving furniture. It is important to take in some salt (enough to replace the salt lost from loss of water.) This is inherently not a problem for most Americans though it is a concern for a few. Potassium is another important electrolyte lost during physical activity. Magnesium is important as well, and many people taking large amounts of calcium supplements without magnesium may be at higher risk for experiencing muscle spasms. Also relaxation is important.

Dealing With Spasms: There are a number of ways to deal with spasms. As with preventing spasms, the first line in dealing with them is stretching, rehydrating, and making sure your electrolytes are in proper balance. Sometimes this does not fix the problem to your satisfaction, and it takes additional steps to make you comfortable. This is not a problem, because God created many other options for you. The pain can be relieved temporarily by applying a muscle rub. The best ones contain any of these: arnica, red pepper, menthol/peppermint/spearmint, camphor, and lavender. Pregnant women should be aware that some of these are not appropriate in their situation.

Many people also find that taking herbal spasm relievers (antispasmotics) is helpful.

Research has found that many of them are about as effective as benzodiazepines which physicians frequently give patients for conditions involving muscle spasms, while the side effects (ie drowsiness) are often more tolerable and interfere less with daily activities, though due caution should be exercised as necessary. There are many options in this area which among many others include: valerian, American skullcap, catmint (catnip), and many others, which are available at your local health food store. Be aware of the interactions and other concerns related to any dietary supplements before you take them, and don’t hesitate to ask a competent professional for guidance.

Valerian The last option to mention, though one of the first I would recommend trying is physical medicine such as massage therapy and chiropractic. These are great options for relief of most problems leading to a pattern of chronic muscle spasms. Massage therapy is a very cost effective option for relieving pain and muscle spasms overexertion, as well as most suffering spasms and muscle pain from injuries.

newsbriefs What’s Your Plan?

Do you know where you’re going to?

Do you like the things that life is showing you?

Where are you going to? Do you know?

Do you get what you’re hoping for?

When you look behind you there’s no open door. What are you hoping for? Do you know? from “Do You Know Where You Are Going To?”

by Michael Masser and Gerald Goffin

H

ow many of us have a plan as we start a new year? Some people have todo lists they use to get through each day.

The rapidly growing number of people with smartphones often use their calendar apps to schedule appointments and other important events. But who do you know that has a clear vision for how to create the life they desire?

It seems like most of us pretty much operate on auto-pilot, just going through the motions, reacting to life’s challenges and crises rather than actualizing our dreams.

The difference? It’s in the way we perceive how the world works. According to

Dr. Hew Len, master teacher of the Hawaiian spiritual practice Ho’oponopono, there is no such thing as out there.

Dr. Len teaches that we are the ultimate creators of our life. What we perceive as out there is actually just a mirror of our inner world. When we see the world as loving, it is because we are projecting a loving vibration and attracting love back.

When we see ourselves as victims, the world we experience reinforces our belief that we must protect ourselves, cementing the very walls that block the flow of life’s abundant treasures.

Have you noticed how some people keep getting luckier and luckier while others struggle? In Esther and Jerry Hicks’ classic book about the Abraham Teachings, “Ask And It Is Given,” they explain the power of the Law of Attraction and the Art of Allowing to shape our lives. The Law of Attraction states that whatever we focus on - however we are feeling - is reflected in how we experience our lives. The Art of Allowing is about staying focused on only what we desire, without doubt or fear.

Both Dr. Len and the Hicks teach that we create our lives from the inside out.

Once we understand that this is how life really works, having a plan or vision makes a

great deal of sense. To live an extraordinary life, just be clear about what you desire and stay aligned with your higher, loving Self. When we follow these simple steps, life becomes much easier and we begin to manifest our desires.

As a life wellness coach, I often hear, “Why on earth would I create stress and strife if I could have a different, easier and better life?” The answer is quite simple.

Many of us have not been taught the simple truths of how the world operates. And even many who have been taught these truths have not practiced them consistently. They return to patterns of thought that actually make their plan more difficult to accomplish!

One of the easiest ways to align with our highest purpose is to relax, which releases resistance naturally. By letting go of resistance, we return to our natural state of peaceful, loving, creative and happy selves. Reflexology is one of the most powerful ways to profoundly relax your body, mind and spirit. By receiving gentle, yet firm pressure on specific pressure points on your feet, hands, face and ears, tension and resistance melts, allowing health and happiness to manifest.

Whether your desire is to experience reflexology for yourself, or to help yourself and others achieve their life plan, visit our website to schedule an appointment and learn more about how you can become a holistic reflexologist.

newsbriefs HOLIDAY CLEANSE

T

his holiday season was a busy one, with shopping mall rushes, and waiting in line for the little ones to see Santa, stress was just as much a part of the holiday season as presents. Now that it’s all over, a different sort of hectic lifestyle can begin. But even though the year is new, you’re still not. Everything left over from the last year’s holiday season has carried over into the New Year. What to do: cleanse, and detoxify.

Holiday stress statistics, as reported by the American Psychological Association (APA), show that up to 69 percent of people are stressed by the feeling of having a “lack of time”, 69 percent are stressed by perceiving a “lack of money”, and 51 percent feel stressed out over the “pressure to give or get gifts”. In addition to these sources of stress, a commonly overlooked one is travel. Traveling to different time zones or climates stresses the body. Multiple studies have shown that stress lowers immune system functioning and results in greater likelihood of becoming sick and experiencing a worsening of symptoms of existing illness. And who wants that leaking into the upcoming months?

Dr. Meng’s Holiday-Cleanse Program is based on Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory and years of clinical experience.

This program not only helps with weight loss but also helps to improve sleep, improves energy, reduces stress, and promotes an overall sense of well-being – all just in time to begin anew! All this is accomplished by using a combination of acupuncture, herbal formulas, and food therapy.

According to the theories of TCM, stress has several negative effects on both mind and body. Stress can immediately create blockages in the natural flow of the body’s energy (qi), which results in digestive troubles such as upset stomach, bloating, acid reflux, and upsetting changes in bowel movements. Stress can also induce bodily aches and pains, and a sense of physical discomfort – which certainly doesn’t help with the fluctuating temperatures of Florida.

Stress can also directly affect the mind, which results in symptoms such as trouble sleeping, increased anxiety or nervousness, difficulty making decisions, decreased mental functioning, and overall emotional instability; with the craziness of last year’s holiday season at your heal, and a new schedule to confront ahead, it’s not difficult to see how easily the stress accumulates.

Emotionally, stress most often results in binge eating, irritability, and can also result in anxiety and a tendency to over-worry. Both acute and chronic stress can have the same effects, with chronic stress taking longer to treat.

The same APA report showed that those who experienced elevated levels of stress rate experienced psychological and physical health lower than those who are less stressed, and are more likely to experience a range of health ailments and symptoms such as sadness (59 percent), trouble sleeping (56 percent), and lack of energy (55 percent).

Dr. Meng’s Holiday-Cleanse Program targets acupuncture points and involve herbs that are chosen to maximize weight loss by treating the root(s) of the imbalances that are causing the weight gain and those other ailments. The herbal therapy, specially developed by Dr. Meng, works to assist the functions of the acupuncture and is especially important for detoxifying the body.

The herbs work all day, every day, and are critical for achieving the best results.

In addition to strengthening digestive health and wastemanagement systems, Dr. Meng’s Holiday-Cleanse Program treatments reduce stress and anxiety, which is critical for shedding those holiday pounds that carried over into the New Year. From a Western perspective, Dr. Meng’s Holiday-Cleanse Program will help to lower cholesterol, lower blood pressure, stabilize blood sugar levels, reduce stress, and improves blood circulation.

Each treatment is customized to the specific needs of the individual patient and the current state of their health. Different acupuncture points may be chosen for each treatment as different symptoms arise. Generally treatments are scheduled two to three times per week for the first few weeks. Especially in the beginning people many people have a lot of energy blockage(s) and require acupuncture treatments every few days in order to restore balance and establish the free flow of Qi. Acupuncture is not a miracle and it will take time to restore optimal health. That time varies by several factors including age, overall health, diet, lifestyle, and length of time that a disease has been present. Dr. Meng’s Holiday-Cleanse Program is flexible and adaptive so that it can benefit everyone.

Dr. Meng, MD (China), AP, received her medical degree from the prestigious Shandong University in China and has also completed several advanced training courses in oriental medicine from wellrespected TCM hospitals in China. She has over 15 years of experience as a doctor of oriental medicine. She has owned and operated Meng’s Acupuncture Medical Center since 2007.

UNIVERSAL LIVING SPROUTS Wheatgrass Benefits

City Of Delray Beach Town Hall Lecture Series “Street Design: The Secret To Great Cities And Towns”

Wheatgrass Juice is one of the best sources of

living chlorophyll available today, with over 100 elements needed by man, but to get the full benefit, the chlorophyll must come fresh from a living plant.

Wheatgrass juice contains up to 70% chlorophyll, which is an important blood builder.

Chlorophyll contains enzymes and super-oxide dismutase, a copper-containing protein found in mature red blood cells.

This enzyme decomposes superoxide radicals in the body into a more manageable form, thereby helping to slow down the aging process and arrests development of unfriendly bacteria.

Chlorophyll can be extracted from many plants, If grown in organic soil, it absorbs 92 of the known 115 minerals from the soil.

Who: Victor Dover, cofounder of Dover, Kohl & Partners Town Planning in Coral Gables, Florida, has 25 years’ experience restoring healthy neighborhoods and creating walkable communities. The coauthor of Street Design: The Secret to Great Cities and Towns (Wiley, January 2014), he has designed 150 neighborhoods, urban revitalization programs, and regional plans across five continents including Plan El Paso, hailed as “America’s Best Smart Growth Plan.”

What: City of Delray Beach – Town Hall Lecture Series Book signing for Street Design: The Secrete to Great Cities and Towns with foreword by HRH The Prince of Wales.

Why: America is rediscovering its streets. A revolutionary makeover is underway to promote walking and cycling and appeal to a new generation of creative, demanding citizens. Victor Dover will describe how to fix our streets, and, in the process, shape enduring cities that people really love. Free.

newsbriefs Yoga, Meditation, & Sound….Amazing Healing Qualities you can find right here in our community…

Y

oga….a term that can be as generic as “music”. What’s your favorite brand/ type? Well, for those in the “business of yoga” it seems that the majority of the population may have no idea what “yoga” is or even that there are many types available. In this age of preventative care awareness, more people are learning things like yoga can help dramatically with the health of the body and the mind. All yoga with movement can provide physical benefits including overall joint health, back pain prevention, and greater flexibility (no matter what the “starting point” is). The more physical forms of yoga (such as Vinyasa) can also provide a challenging exercise like working out. The added benefit for the mind is the strength that the breathing exercises bring to the neurological system. Yoga and meditation can help with anxiety reduction and stress management in a healthy, drug-free way.

The time to start a yoga or meditation program is ANYtime as the benefits are definitely awaiting you. One local business, YogaFox Studios, works to bring all aspects of this ancient practice of Yoga (Meditation, Breathing, Music, and More) to our community.

Keith Fox, owner and founder of YogaFox Studios, has been sharing Vinyasa Yoga (yoga combining breath with movement) with the Community in South Florida for over 15 years. In the last few years his attention to Music, Vibration, and the inherent healing qualities with these elements of Nada Yoga (Yoga of Sound) and Bhakti Yoga (Yoga of Devotion) have become the focus of his teachings. This comes to life in both of his studios.

YogaFox Studios of Delray Beach is home to two locations serving Delray Beach and Boynton Beach. The original studio within the Colony Hotel at 525 E. Atlantic Ave. in Delray is home to the locally famous “Yoga with Live Music” which is held year round on Sundays 9:30-11am. Keith leads the class and is supported by live music with local musicians Jaime Triana, Richard King, and an occasional guest artist. Hundreds of locals and visitors gather each week to enjoy the energy of the community with an energetic YogaFox Vinyasa flow that always ends with a lying meditation and a serenade by Keith and his harmonium.

Practitioners of all levels and ages enjoy the class – including the charm and history of the Colony Hotel – a Delray icon for almost a century now. The element of Live Music brings a connective thread to the class that allows everyone to enjoy the class – no matter what the student’s yoga experience as music is a common grounding element for us all. The YogaFox Colony Hotel location provides 10 yoga classes weekly to the community with YogaFox top instructors.

Owner Keith Fox and his wife Kelly also run the YogaFox Buddha Lounge and Ganesha Garden on the Boynton/Delray border at 1405 N. Federal Hwy Delray Beach, FL. Keith and Richard bring the Yoga with Live Music class to the more in-

Palm Beach Edition

timate Buddha Lounge every Tuesday night at 5:45pm with the Long Slow Flow Class.

Immediately following at 7:15pm is the healing ancient practice of Yoga Nidra with Keith.

This meditation class is donation only and allows the participants to lay in savasana and Restore/Re-charge the neurological system while manifesting beauty and health into all areas of life. Once again Keith’s harmonium provides healing support in this class and brings in Nada Yoga.

Keith also takes this Yoga NIdra “on the road” to many different environments – including to corporate locations, to those healing from illness, and to groups like our teenagers – as all of us need a little help in stress management and what better tool than this ancient practice.

The Buddha Lounge Studio not only provides 35+ yoga classes/week but is home to the YogaFox College of Yoga – a 200 hour and 500 hour Yoga Alliance school. The popular 200 hour program runs over 7 months so that those with busy lives can join. Attendees range from 17 year old high school students to 70 year old retirees. YogaFox College provides knowledge of all aspects of yoga – Postures, yes but also Breathing, Meditation, Anatomy, Philosophy, History, and more – including those elements of Nada Yoga and Bhakti Yoga inherent in Keith Fox’s philosophy. Partial and full scholarships are available if students have financial needs.

Finally the YogaFox Buddha Lounge location also seeks to provide a true local “getaway retreat” for all. In addition to Yoga, the studio offers weekly classes of Meditation, Workshops (including physical, emotional, nutritional elements), as well as lectures and community opportunities such as A Course in Miracles, New Earth Tribes (part of The Wake Up Movement), Drum Circles, Solstice Celebrations, and other enlightening events. The Ganesha Garden (behind the Buddha Lounge) is a 1 acre meditation area with various temples and it’s beauty is open to the public every day. This Garden is definitely one of the best “secrets” in South Florida if you are looking for a place to “get away” if only for a few minutes of your day. The Ganesha Garden is also available for rent for your special ceremony or event.

Want to go on the road to retreat as well? Well Keith and his wife Kelly bring this full picture of Yoga, Music, Breathing, Meditation, and Vibrational healing all over the world. Keith has taught at National events such as Wanderlust and YogaFox’s own YogaFest. In addition, YogaFox leads retreat around the globe.

newsbriefs Contemplating a Healthy Body-Mind-Spirit Through Gardening in 2014

T

here are so many people who dream or plan but never follow up on the garden grounds. Of course you are NOT one of them. That is why this article is catching your attention!

Start the New Year with a resolution to take back your physical and mental Health by simply turning your backyard into a productive organic garden.

Are you a procrastinator? Are you harboring such thoughts as: I have no time to garden. I have no backyard. I have a backache. I live in an apartment. I live in my car. I have no experience. I have a wife and family. I am old. I am sick. I kill plants. I lost my job/house. I am broke. I am on food stamps.

I am .. you name it! Guess what? Food stamps federal budget has been reduced by almost 40 BILLION for the next ten years.

Wait a minute. Growing your own food can be a solution for your physical and mental challenges and struggles. Gardening is a FREE THERAPY with benefits! No Health Insurance payments and no experience required! Consider Growing an EDIBLE GARDEN in your backyard, at a community garden, and at your wellness or community center.

The Physical Benefits: 1. Growing your own food will enable you to improve your body and save money. Organic produce prices are so expensive! Take this for example: One pound of Organic tomato costs $5 at your local Health Food Store! Your cost: FREE when grown in your own garden! Your body will live longer, love to

get nourishment of locally home grown food devoid of pesticides and chemical fertilizers etc. Besides, if you grow one tomato plant at your garden, you will have an average of 40 pounds of tomatoes produced at home, multiplied by $5 per pound will equal $200 in savings on your grocery bill! Simply speaking, saving this much on one food category only! Do the math for the rest of other organic produce that you buy from the store which you can grow at home and witness the difference?

2. You will lose weight and save on the gym bill money. You will build muscles and lose fat, while growing and harvesting your own fruits and veggies. No garden experience necessary or membership fees are required!

3. You will reduce your medical bills by taking food as medicine from your garden, following the prescription of Hippocrates THE FATHER OF MEDICINE. Grow food, without additives, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the extra salmonella! When you do so: you will add more years to your life, spend more time at home with your family, smell more roses and aromatic herbs, breathe fresh outdoor garden air and enjoy eating SAFE food that is produced at home, few yards away from your kitchen compared to the 1500 miles distance when being shipped and grown overstate /overseas!

The Metaphysical (Mind-Spirit) Benefits: What is driving us crazy is the culture of abusive behaviors that is tainting our society as a side effect of our work-a-holic, drug-a-holic and other family of a-holics and other addictions: You name it! As a consequence of the above “a-holics” family we suffer mentally and succumb to take a pill here and a pill there. A pill a day will keep the doctor in our way while, an Apple from Mother Nature a day will keep the doctor away. Recently, Japan and Sweden for example have innovated ways of using gardening as Horticultural Therapy at Hospitals and Rehabilitation Medical Centers by simply creating Gardens for their patients to improve on their health. Check out the below sources and resources for more details. Change your motto from “going bananas” in to “growing bananas” and see the difference in your Mental and Physical HEALTH !!

Produce Banishes the Blues

N

ew research from New Zealand’s University of Otago shows that consuming more whole fruits and vegetables increases peacefulness, happiness and energy in one’s daily life. Scientists discovered the strong relationship to be particularly apparent in countering winter blues.

A total of 281 college-age students filled out an online food diary and mood survey for 21 consecutive days. Results showed that eating fruits and vegetables one day led to improvements in positive mood the next day, regardless of other key factors, such as body mass index.

Other types of food did not produce the same uplifting effect.

“After further analysis, we demonstrated that young people would need to consume approximately seven to eight total servings of fruits and vegetables per day to notice a meaningful positive change,” says Tamlin Conner, Ph.D., with the university’s department of psychology. “One serving of fruit or vegetables is approximately the size that could fit in our palm, or half a cup.” Study co-author Bonnie White suggests that this can be accomplished by having vegetables comprise half of the plate at each meal and snacking on whole fruit like apples.

The American Psychiatric Association acknowledges that seasonal affective disorder (SAD) affects, at least mildly, as many as 20 percent of Americans.

Sweets Sour Brain Power

B

inging on sweets and soda in an effort to bone up for exams or presentations probably has the opposite effect, according to a new animal study from the University of California, Los Angeles. Researchers found that eating or quaffing too much fructose, like that found in cane sugar and the high-fructose corn syrups permeating many processed foods, can cause unclear thinking, poor learning and impaired memory.

Scientists have long known that high-fructose diets increase the risk for diabetes, obesity and fatty liver. Now the UCLA team has discovered that only six weeks of a high-fructose diet slowed the animals’ brains. The good news is that eating omega-3 fatty acids like those found in cold water fish appear to counteract the negative effects of fructose, enabling the animals to think more clearly.

Art Heartens Seniors

J

ust looking at a painting by Picasso, Dali or Warhol can brighten the world for seniors, according to researchers at Britain’s Newcastle University. After just three visits to a gallery, the researchers found positive changes in the participating seniors’ opinions about their life experiences and abilities in light of their ages.

The gallery visits further inspired participants to become more involved with others and their communities.

THE TOXIC SIDE OF TYLENOL

A

s the evidence of the harmful effects of Tylenol increases, there is a growing call for it to be removed from the market. Its active ingredient, acetaminophen, once thought to be an effective and safe pain reliever for adults and children, turns out to have dangerous effects.

A related study by University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center researchers leads with the fact that each year, acetaminophen causes more than 100,000 calls to poison control centers, 50,000 emergency room visits, 26,000 hospitalizations and more than 450 deaths from liver failure. The U.S. Acute Liver Failure Study implicates acetaminophen poisoning in nearly half of all cases of acute liver failure in this country.

When taken with alcohol or without food, the effects on the liver are multiplied.

Doctor of Naturopathy Michael Murray, of Phoenix, Arizona, reports in GreenMedInfo.com that regular use of acetaminophen is linked to a higher likelihood of asthma, infertility and hearing loss, especially in men under 50. Last summer, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a warning linking acetaminophen use to three rare and sometimes fatal skin conditions.

“Can you imagine if the side effects and risks associated with acetaminophen were associated with a dietary supplement?” opines Murray.

“It would be yanked from the market immediately.”

Eco-Skiing

White Resorts Go Even Greener As skiers flock to snow-covered trails this winter, more ski resorts are going greener to save energy and support the environment. Arapahoe Basin, in Colorado, recently received a National Ski Areas Association Sustainable Slopes grant for retrofitting its base area lighting that will annually slice off an estimated 53,000-plus kilowatt hours of usage. A-Basin, Vail Resorts and others in the area provide their restaurants’ used vegetable oil to outside companies for recycling into biofuels.

Aspen, Vail, Copper Mountain and other Colorado resorts installed more photovoltaic solar arrays on buildings prior to the current season.

Stratton Mountain Ski Resort, in Vermont, installed a 1,500-horsepower electric snowmaking air compressor last summer, replacing a diesel model. Purchased in consultation with the statewide energy utility Efficiency Vermont, it delivers more cubic feet of air per minute using less, and cleaner, energy. Since 2009, the state’s Bolton Valley ski area, plus Jiminy Peak and Berkshire East, both in Massachusetts, have all installed wind turbines to generate energy. Sarah Wojcik, director of public affairs at the Vermont Ski Areas Association, attests that resorts are doing their part to keep mountains green.

Grassroots Gumption

Citizen Action Wins Against Monsanto and More The Center for Food Safety (CFS), a national nonprofit advocating in the public interest, works to protect human health and the environment by curbing the use of harmful food production technologies and promoting organic and other forms of sustainable agriculture. It confirms that actions such as signing petitions really do make a difference.

For instance, the CFS cites a hard-fought campaign that pushed the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to respond to a lawsuit and remove arsenic from chicken feed. They credit the thousands of consumers that joined the effort, saying, “Together, we forced the FDA to remove arsenic ingredients in animal feed used for our nation’s chickens, turkeys and hogs, and 98 of the 101 drug approvals for arsenic-based animal drugs will be withdrawn.”

More recently, CFS reports that half a million citizen phone calls and emails had a significant effect in killing an extension of the so-called “Monsanto protection act” in the Senate. Formally named the Farmer Assurance Provision, the measure undermined the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s authority to ban genetically modified crops, even if court rulings found they posed risks to human and environmental health.

Big Coal’s Big Plans to Hasten Climate Change Environmentalists are mounting an effort to stop the coal industry from exporting millions of tons of coal to China and keep the coal in the ground by halting the construction of huge new coal export terminals at ports in Oregon and Washington.

The nation’s two largest coal companies want to strip-mine vast reserves in Wyoming and Montana’s Powder River Basin, and then ship the coal by rail to the ports.

“Based on our back-of-the-envelope calculation, the burning of this exported coal could have a larger climate impact than all of the oil pumped through the Keystone pipeline,” says Kimberly Larson, a spokesperson for the Power Past Coal campaign, a coalition of more than 100 environmental and community groups that oppose the coal terminals.

Many U.S. coal-fired power plants still operate, but they’re being squeezed out of business by new federal standards for mercury, arsenic and other toxins that take effect in 2016. Also, the price of natural gas in America has fallen below that of coal. China already accounts for almost half of the world’s coal consumption, and demand continues to skyrocket for cheap, coal-fired electricity to power its growing industrial parks and megacities.

Yogic Milestone

Smithsonian Exhibit Highlights Storied History

Whale Wars

Military Exercises Threaten Sea Life During the next five years, the U.S. Navy’s war games, using live munitions in our coastal waters, will potentially kill 186 whales and dolphins off the East Coast and 155 more off Hawaii and Southern California, according to computer models.

Rear Admiral Kevin Slates rationalizes the casualties by stating, “Without this realistic testing and training, our sailors can’t develop or maintain the critical skills they need or ensure the new technologies can be operated effectively.”

On the upside, marine scientists are currently using mobile devices to reduce the number of whales struck and killed off California’s coast by large commercial ships. An app called Whale Spotter employs crowd-sourcing to gather data, allowing sailors, fishermen and marine scientists that spot whales to plot their locations on an interactive map. Such a network can track marine mammals in real time as they migrate. These maps are useful to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and U.S. Coast Guard officials responsible for recommending changes in vessel routes.

Life Threat

Evidence Mounts of GMO Dangers The nonprofit Non-GMO Project, committed to preserving and building sources of nonGMO (genetically modified organism) products and educating consumers on such verified choices, is focusing on Bt corn and Bt soy, which make up 90 percent of America’s total crop. Its scientists explain, “These crops have genes from a bacteria called bacillus thuringiensis spliced into their natural genetic code. This causes the plant to produce Bt-toxin—a pesticide that bursts the stomach of insects that eat it, killing them.”

Monsanto and Syngenta, which manufacture genetically engineered seeds, claim that genetically modified (GE, GM or GMO) crops are safe for humans because the Bt-toxin is completely destroyed in the human digestive system and doesn’t have any impact on animals and humans.

But Norwegian scientists’ decade-long study of rats, mice, pigs and salmon raised on GE feed published in 2012 found that due to alterations in their digestive tracts, the animals ate more, got fatter and were less able to digest proteins; they also suffered from diminished immune systems.

There is also mounting evidence that the spread of such crops is responsible for the dramatic decline of the monarch butterfly, the near annihilation of bats and the spread of honeybee colony collapse syndrome.

This month’s exhibition at the Smithsonian’s Arthur M. Sackler Gallery, Yoga: The Art of Transformation, comprises the museum’s first presentation of yogic art.

Temple sculptures, devotional icons, vibrant manuscripts and court paintings created in India more than 2,000 years ago will be on view, as well as early modern photographs, books and films.

The Washington, D.C., exhibition borrows from 25 museums and private collections in India, Europe and the United States. More than 120 works, from the third to the early 20th century, illuminate yoga’s central tenets, as well as its obscured histories. Through masterpieces of Indian sculpture and paintings, the exhibition explores yoga’s goals; its Hindu, Jain and Sufi manifestations; its means of transforming body and consciousness; and its philosophical foundations.

Global Watchdog United Nations Panel Zeroes in on Sustainability

The United Nations (UN) has created a new scientific advisory board under the aegis of UNESCO, mandated to advise UN executives, participating countries and other stakeholders on the use of science, technology and innovation in achieving sustainable development. The 26 international experts appointed to the board span a broad spectrum of disciplines including: basic sciences; engineering and technology; social sciences and humanities; ethics; health; and economic, behavioral and agricultural sciences, as well as the environmental sciences more commonly associated with sustainability.

The board’s inaugural meeting in December focused on outcomes of the 2013 UN Conference on Sustainable Development (Rio+20), and from other large-scale interdisciplinary processes, such as the 2012 Planet Under Pressure Conference, held in London, and the Future Earth 10-year international research initiative.

and more. Finding the right mix of treatment and preventive measures requires some creativity and self-knowledge. The experts Natural Awakenings consulted maintain that it is both desirable and possible to assemble an affordable and effective personal health care team that focuses on optimum wellness.

a form of psychotherapy. Ideally, he says, conventional and integrative medicine, plus complementary practitioners, work together to provide the total care an individual patient needs. “Any problem on one level affects all levels, so we assess patients on all three with whatever tools we have,” he says.

While conventional medicine may be able to treat structural problems well and biochemical problems to a certain extent, it falls short on the energetic level. That’s when it’s time to expand the team, counsels Yang. “‘Know yourself’ is the watchword. Get to know what to use and when to use it. It’s the practitioner’s job to educate patients in this way.”

Dr. Andrew Weil, renowned as the father of the integrative medicine movement in the U.S., has remarked, “If I’m in a car accident, don’t take me to an herbalist. If I have bacterial pneumonia, give me antibiotics. But when it comes to maximizing the body’s natural healing potential, a mix of conventional and alternative procedures seems like the only answer.”

Dr. Shekhar Annambhotla, founding director and president of the Association of Ayurvedic Professionals of North America, turns to the integrative realm of ayurvedic medicine for healing and wellness. The 5,000-year-old Indian healing tradition incorporates lifestyle changes, yoga and meditation, detoxification, herbs, massage and various other individually targeted healing modalities, depending on the patient’s diagnosis and recommended treatment plan.

onventional doctors too often dispense vague, boilerplate health advice, urging their patients to eat a healthy diet, exercise and take helpful supplements. Some are lucky enough to also be directed to detoxify their body and manage stress. That’s typically the best most people can expect in terms of practical advice. It is rare to receive specific, individualized answers to such burning questions as: What is the best diet for this specific problem or my body type?

Which exercise will work best for me—yoga, running, tennis or something else?

Why do I feel stressed so much of the time, and what can I do about it?

What supplements are best for me, and which high-quality products can I trust?

Complementary natural healing modalities can address all of these queries

“We need to understand the value of an integrative approach because no single modality treats everything,” says Dr. Michael Jingduan Yang, the Philadelphia-based founder and medical director of the Tao Institute of Mind & Body Medicine. By way of example, he maintains credentials as a physician, a board-certified psychiatrist and an internationally recognized expert on classic forms of Chinese herbal medicine and acupuncture.

Integrative practitioners see the human body on three levels, Yang explains: structural; biochemical; and bioenergetic,

“Wellness is a team effort,” advises integrative medicine specialist Dr. Vijay Jain, medical director at Amrit Ayurveda for Total Wellbeing, in Salt Springs, Florida.

It’s not only a matter of knowing what needs the practitioners will address at specific times, it’s also knowing who can help when the going gets tough. “Modern medicine has the edge for early detection of disease,” Jain notes. “However, Ayurveda is excellent in determining the earliest imbalances in the mind and body that eventually lead to disease.”

Most experts consulted agree that a personal wellness program should

Health insurance may not cover the services we want, and high deductibles may pose a financial challenge in maintaining comprehensive health care, so we need a personal wellness plan. include a practitioner that acts as a gatekeeper and coordinates a care plan to meet individual needs. Jain recommends that the foundation of the team be a licensed medical professional such as an integrative physician (MD), osteopathic doctor (DO) or chiropractor (DC). In most states, any of these professionals can function as a primary care doctor, authorized to order and read laboratory tests, prescribe drugs and access hospital services. In some states, a naturopathic physician (ND) can perform the functions of a primary care doctor in ordering and reading laboratory tests.

As part of a personal wellness team, consider a functional medicine or integrative physician, chiropractor, osteopath, doctor of naturopathy, ayurvedic practitioner, nutritionist, Traditional Chinese Medicine doctor/acupuncturist, herbalist, craniosacral therapist, massage therapist and energy practitioner (such as in Reiki, medical qigong or polarity therapy).

It’s not necessary to see all of them, sources say. Sometimes, one practitioner will be skilled in practicing several modalities, a bonus for patients. Other complementary practitioners may form a supporting team that works with the primary care team, depending on the challenges a patient faces. They will be identified as treatment unfolds and the team evolves over time.

Contributing Specialists

An ayurvedic practitioner likely will begin by helping to define healthful lifestyle changes, depending on one’s dosha, or energetic temperament. Yoga and meditation would be a likely recommendation, plus specific herbs and perhaps detoxification, says Annambhotla.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) and acupuncture often go hand-in hand with Ayurveda in accordance with the view that illness and disease are caused by imbalances in the body’s energetic flow.

Diagnostic techniques employ intuition

and pulses to assess and smooth blocks in energy circulation.

Craniosacral therapy is another way to unlock energetic blockages caused by lifestyle stress and other factors that restrict and congest the body’s innate ability to self-correct and remain healthy, says Joyce Harader, a registered craniosacral therapist in Cave Creek, Arizona, and secretary of the board of the Biodynamic Cranial Sacral Therapy Association of North America.

She relied on a whole team to realize a natural way back to health after being diagnosed with lupus in 1992. “Members of my health team fluctuate, depending on what is going on in my life and where I am focusing,” comments Harader. She points out, for example, that nutrition education and general deep-tissue massage can both be helpful as part of a foundational plan toward obtaining and maintaining optimal health.

In fact, many of our experts recommend both a monthly chiropractic adjustment and/or massage, as well as daily yoga and an ongoing meditation practice for wellness and total well-being.

Naturopathic practitioners operating in states where they are licensed can be good sources of nutrition counsel and often recommend herbal remedies for relief.

“For chronic illness, you need a chiropractor or drug-free physician like a naturopath on your team. Conventional medicine is generally poor at dealing with chronic illness,” observes Naturopath and Chiropractor Michael Loquasto, Ph.D., who practices in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania.

Loquasto should know. He has practiced integrated modalities for 50 years, employing the knowledge gained through his practice and triple doctorates, which include one in nutrition. Also a master herbalist, he strongly advocates that people start by working with a good integrative or functional medicine medical doctor.

Self-Diagnosis

Intuitive listening and observant self-knowledge are crucial parts of any wellness plan.

Most people are aware when something doesn’t feel right in their body.

“Libido is a great barometer of health,” suggests Dr. Diana Hoppe, an obstetrician, gynecologist and hormone specialist in San Diego, California. “If you’re not interested in sex, it’s probably a sign that you need to do some investigating.” Reasons for such a decline of interest are wide-ranging says Hoppe.

“For men and women, it might be due to hormonal changes, lack of self-esteem, medications, stress, relationship issues, job, family life or lack of sleep. It means that somewhere, things are out of balance,” she says.

Funding a Plan

A personal multifaceted wellness program can be expensive, but there are ways to minimize the cost. “In the new world of high insurance deductibles, people get more for their money from an alternative doctor, especially one knowledgeable in a variety of healing therapies, than a conventional one,” Loquasto advises. Costs for tests may also be lower; plus patients are not expected to pay $150 or more just to walk in the door.

A current trend has medical doctors and chiropractors participating in “umbrella” practices and wellness centers, where several types of practitioners collaborate in one facility. They find that sometimes insurance will pay for certain complementary services, including massage and nutrition education, when doctors or chiropractors prescribe them.

Maintaining wellness in an environment filled with chemical, biological and

mental toxins is a substantial, yet worthy, investment. It’s far better than the costly alternative of dealing with regular bouts of sickness or escalating disease. In that light, maintenance looks affordable: an ayurvedic diagnostic session starts at around $100, a consultation with a licensed naturopath at $75 and acupuncture at $100; a massage typically costs about $80 an hour.

While insurance is unlikely to pay for treatments outside the realm of conventional medicine and sometimes, chiropractic, “The cost of these preventive therapies will be much less than the cost of treatment for a serious disease,” advises Loquasto. “You’re worth it.”

Caring, Steering, Cheering

A Health Coach Helps Us Change for Good

by Lauressa Nelson

A health or wellness coach integrated into a personal healthcare team can be critical to catalyzing sustainable change. Many people understand they need to modify their self-care, yet fail to take the optimal steps to make such a transformation happen.

W

“

hat we’ve discovered is that people don’t routinely change behavior due to education alone or out of fear. They change through partnership,” explains Linda Smith, a physician’s assistant and director of professional and public programs at Duke Integrative Medicine, in Durham, North Carolina. Coaching partnerships supply a supportive bridge between provider recommendations and patient implementations, she says, “significantly increasing the client’s ability to make changes successfully.”

“Health coaching was absolutely essential to my health,” says Roberta Cutbill, a 72-year-old retired registered nurse in Greensboro, North Carolina, who considered her lifestyle relatively healthy when in her late 60s she experienced autoimmune and cardiac problems. “I have an excellent primary care doctor who, when these issues came up, told me that I needed to change my diet, thoughtfully down-

36

loaded a list of recommendations and sent me on my way. I still needed help with many things in order to make the changes,” recalls Cutbill, which is why she turned to a health coach at Duke Integrative Medicine.

Margaret Moore, founder and CEO of Wellcoaches Corporation and co-director of the Institute of Coaching at McLean Hospital, a Harvard Medical School affiliate, in Belmont, Massachusetts, identifies two primary forces that enable behavioral change: autonomous motivation (people want to do something for their own reasons, not because someone tells them to) and confidence (they believe they can do it). “The most powerful motivating forces of all are what you treasure most in life, your life purpose and contribution,” she remarks.

Both Smith and Moore emphasize that the priorities in any health coaching relationship are client driven, based on the client’s chosen goals and personal intrinsic motivators.

Confidence in attaining ultimate success is built through positively framed experiments and experiences. “A health coach is trained to help

clients break up their goals into manageable steps, focus on strengths, track progress and identify and overcome personal roadblocks,” explains Dr. Karen Lawson, an integrative physician and director of integrative health coaching at the University of Minnesota’s Center for Spirituality and Healing, in Minneapolis. A helpful approach sets goals that can be met and exceeded, not insurmountable ones.

“The key is always keeping a positive lens, helping clients see the progress they achieve,” continues Lawson. This involves speaking in terms of growth through trial and error, in which outcomes are explored without judgment and clients feel empowered to modify.

This is vital, explains Moore, because experiencing at least a three-to-one ratio of positive to negative emotions creates the conditions for the brain to learn, change and thrive, making people feel more capable of taking care of their health.

Mindful awareness is another essential tool; being self-aware and reflecting on what we are doing while it is happening. Unlike thinking, analyzing and planning, mindfulness involves observing while experiencing. During sessions, coaches use it to give their full attention in a non-judgmental way, modeling how clients can bring such compassion to themselves.

A mindful state calms mental noise and puts reflective distance between individuals and their beliefs, emotions and behaviors. It improves their ability to handle negative emotions and to make a conscious choice to respond with a different attitude or new behavior, according to Moore.

For Cutbill, maintaining a personal relationship with her coach over time has been the most significant factor in the improvement of her health. “The relationship was healing, because my coach regularly pointed out my progress with profound encouragement and validation.

I wish all primary care doctors had health coaches on staff to help them and their patients attain the success they both are aiming for.”

Hallmarks of a Good Health Coach

OFFERS

by Margaret Moore In the past 10 years, approximately 10,000 health professionals have become coaches through dedicated training schools and university programs focused on life, corporate or health and wellness coaching. The selection of the right partner to help in the quest for lifelong wellness entails assessing the following qualifications.

Credentials and training: A reputable health and wellness coach training program typically requires six months to two years of education, skills training and practice with clients, followed by a certification process that tests for knowledge and core competencies.

Employment background: Additional desirable credentials in the medical, physical or mental health fields will likely include exercise physiology, physical therapy, psychotherapy, nutrition counseling, nursing or medicine.

Structured relationship: A coach should be able to explain how coaching works and why successful results are more likely with a coach. Coaching sessions are typically conducted by phone and last between 30 and 60 minutes.

Coaching services are generally not covered by insurance.

Personal character: Effective health coaches are good listeners, interested in clients’ unique stories. They foster selfacceptance and self-respect, pointing out personal strengths, values and desires.

Coaches engage, energize and challenge clients through a positive, non-judgmental focus, while at the same time asking courageous questions. As skilled partners, they help clients become clear about personal motivations and an overall vision for life, so that they can help design a detailed, attainable plan that successfully moves them toward fulfilling their goals.

Label Literacy Five Tips Help Kids Choose Healthy Foods

by Elisa Bosley

Rethinking

Families have three key weapons in combating America’s childhood obesity epidemic: keeping them active, reducing their soda and junk food intake and teaching youngsters how to read food labels.

HEART HEALTH A National and Local Experts Help Us Find Real Solutions

ccording to the National Center for Health Statistics, obesity more than doubled in children ages 6 to 11 and tripled in adolescents ages 12 to 19 between 1980 and 2010. Nearly one in five youths in both age groups, plus one in eight preschoolers, are now considered obese and at increased risk for consequent health problems. By 2013, the Centers for Disease Control finally showed signs of hope, with some states reporting small reversals in the trend.

Positive developments might continue if parents and teachers gently coach kids to better evaluate what’s going into their mouths and bodies by understanding food labels. Despite the intimidation factor (even for adults), “Once children know how to read, they are ready to start learning how to read food labels,” advises Jolly Backer, CEO of Fresh Healthy Vending, a forward-thinking company actively increasing the presence of healthy-food vending machines in schools nationwide. He says, “The more kids know about what they’re eating, the more empowered they’ll be about making healthier food choices.”

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

Here are five basic tips to increase knowing what food labels really say that will benefit a youngster’s health for a lifetime.

Visualize serving sizes. Assemble two or three packaged food items—preferably those that the child regularly eats, like cereal, oatmeal and applesauce— plus a measuring cup. Point out the serving-size number on the package label, and let the child measure out a single serving. This visually reinforces serving sizes, the first number anyone needs to consider on a food label. Try it with a single soda or juice bottle, too, which often says, “two servings.”

Important note: Most nutrition label serving sizes are based on a 2,000-calorie adult diet. For kids ages 4 to 8, portion sizes are about two-thirds of an adult portion; for preteens, portions run 80 to 90 percent of the adult amount, says Registered Dietitian Tara Dellolacono-Thies, food coach for CLIF Kid nutrient-rich organic energy snacks.

Evaluate numbers. Next, discuss the numbers noted for calories, fat, sugar, fiber and cholesterol. When evaluating

a packaged food for an elementary school child, Dellolacono-Thies suggests aiming for 175 calories or less per serving; one gram or less saturated fat; no trans fats; no more than 13 grams of added sugars; no more than 210 milligrams sodium content; and at least two grams of fiber. She notes that cholesterol alone is less of a health risk factor for kids than saturated fats and sugars unless a child is on a specialized diet. Added bonuses: Look for high-percent daily values (shown as DV percentage) for nutrients such as calcium, iron, zinc and vitamin D, which experts generally agree most kids’ diets lack in sufficient quantities.

Compare and contrast. Armed with these basic guidelines, compare, for example, the grams of sugar in a can of soda with a serving of cooked rolled oats, or the amount of calcium in a carton of milk versus a juice box. One-to-one evaluations will begin to give a child a sense of what numbers constitute “high” or “low” amounts.

Check the fine print. “Artificial colors and flavors, artificial sweeteners, highfructose corn syrup or partially hydrogenated anything signal that the food is likely of lower nutritional quality,” counsels Dellolacono-Thies.

Make a game of sounding out items in the ingredient list. “It’s a classic teaching moment: Unpronounceable ingredients often mean it’s a lab-created, fake, food-like item,” she says. Next, ask the youngster to read the label on an apple. Surprise! No food label means it’s a whole, real food—the best, most nutritious kind.

Translate knowledge into choices. Once a child has gotten the hang of it, let him or her compare different food labels and choose which one is the healthier option. Plan a little extra time to also do it during grocery shopping. With time and practice, an educated youngster will begin to incorporate the power of reading food labels before choosing foods.

“Even when children walk up to a vending machine, where they can’t read labels, you want them to know which is the healthier option,” says Backer. “With label-reading practice, they’ll become savvy shoppers who’ll readily recognize healthy food options when they see them.”

WHOLE FOOD Greater than the Sum of its Parts

by Margie King

W

estern science is obsessed with deconstructing food, researching and analyzing its component parts, isolating the active ingredients, repackaging them in pills or powders and prescribing them in daily doses. But according to Annemarie Colbin, Ph.D., author of Food and Healing, this chemistry-based theory of nutrition is upside-down.

Colbin, founder and CEO of the Natural Gourmet Institute for Health and Culinary Arts, in New York City, has crafted her own nutrition theory based on more than 30 years of nutrition practice, teaching from a foundation that a whole food, like the complex human being consuming it, is greater than the sum of its parts.

She defines whole foods as “those that nature provides and all the edible parts.” She limits them to those comprising one ingredient, such as plants, whole

40

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds.

Animal foods are more challenging to categorize. Eggs are a whole food, but steaks are not, because they are one part of the entire animal. She includes small fish if we eat the head and bones, and small birds like quail. Whole milk is included, but not low-fat dairy.

Colbin maintains that our bodies know the difference between a whole food and an aggregation of isolated nutrients.

We have evolved over thousands of years to eat the food that nature presents to us, and if that food has been fragmented, the body realizes it and seeks what’s missing.

For example, if we eat fragmented wheat like white bread, in which the bran and germ of the whole grain have been removed, the body will still be hungry and seek the missing part of the food, something with fiber or crunch. Likewise, health enthusiasts that devour wheat

germ or wheat bran in isolation will also feel something is missing and may find themselves craving refined flour in the form of cake or other baked goods.

Table sugar is another example, a fragment of sugar cane. Colbin calculates that it takes 17 feet of sugar cane to make one cup of sugar. What’s missing is mostly the cane’s water content and the result, she says, is that sugar makes you thirsty.

It’s a big reason why when we drink a soda, ingesting an average equivalent of 12 teaspoons of sugar, we’re thirsty afterward and drink even more, creating a vicious cycle.

Fruit juices are, by definition, a fragmented food. When we drink orange or grapefruit juice, all or most of the fiber from the raw fruit is obviously missing.

Craving something to chew, we may reach for chips or something crunchy. Vegetable juices may yield the same result.

Colbin cautions that while vitamin and mineral supplements can be helpful in treating specific conditions or deficiencies, they nevertheless comprise fragments of food at best. She notes that the body may have difficulty processing these isolated nutrients outside of the whole food.

Supportive studies include Kentucky’s University of Louisville School of Medicine comparison of the effects of the spice turmeric with those of its active ingredient, curcumin. Adding the whole food turmeric to the diet of rats reduced inflammation significantly, while curcumin alone was ineffective. Results suggested the difference may be explained by turmeric’s higher bioavailability.

A Pennsylvania State University research review determined that although population studies consistently report that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables protects against cardiovascular and other chronic diseases, studies of antioxidant supplements did not show the same benefits. The difference may be that a whole foods diet naturally contains not only antioxidants, but a wide range of nutrients and compounds that may act synergistically to protect against diseases.

Colbin goes further, suggesting that supplements may even make us less likely to want to eat vegetables and set us up for junk food cravings to balance out too many vitamins or minerals. Her advice is to use vitamins and supplements if medically required, but not every day and not for a lifetime.

Her views are all about maintaining the natural balance in the foods that nature provides without worrying about striving for perfection or radical changes in diet. Colbin recommends aiming for 70 percent whole foods overall to keep everything in balance.

Start by taking a few small changes, listen to the body to see if there’s a noticeable difference and adjust accordingly.

Money Myths

Filmmaker Katie Teague Uncovers Our Misperceptions

by Linda Sechrist

K

atie Teague’s inspiring documentary, Money and Life (MoneyAndLifeMovie.com), provocatively asks: Rather than disastrous, can we view economic crises as brimming with opportunities to shift our thoughts about money and thereby improve models of economic exchange?

Why did you produce a documentary on the subject of money?

As an in-depth psychotherapist familiar with observing humanity, I felt that I could use the simple lens of storytelling to chronicle the complexity of money and economics. Because I had no experience in economics or filmmaking, I was often brought to my knees in the crucible of all I was learning, a virtual crash Ph.D. course.

In interviewing David Korten, economist, author and former professor at the Harvard Business School, he soothed my worries by pointing out that because I hadn’t been indoctrinated into the world of economics and its jargon, my language of metaphors and analogies would help lay people better recognize and understand convoluted economic concepts.

As a therapist, I repeatedly see how disconnections due to eroding relationships with ourselves, our natural world and each other are wreaking havoc on people and the planet. I routinely see that money isn’t a root cause of a person’s issues, just the container for them. Most frequently the issues I hear about result from setting dreams aside “for later” and squelching the sparks of individual genius, usually because of a

42

perceived scarcity of money.

I became curious about what role our relationship to money plays in such disconnections.

What are the effects of awaking to what money is and isn’t in our lives?

In considering this from the perspective of healing and tending the soul, asking, “Where are we most wounded in our modern world?”

I had my own quantum awakening to the fact that I’m not separate from the subject matter I’m exploring: What is my own story with money? Have I given up healthy self-government to the money god? What are my opportunities to reclaim my own power?

I discovered that the core principle of the economy, money and currency is relationship itself, and that we’ve unwittingly disempowered ourselves by entrusting too much power to middlemen like central banks and financial consultants, but are now realizing that we don’t need them.

One clear example is that more individuals are having a direct experience of the divine. Also, entire communities are investing their time, energy and money in their local economies, where they have established relationships and can see the results. I believe that the technologies supporting our emerging new economy reflect our own consciousness coming online.

Were you surprised at what you learned?

I did not know that the U.S. and global economies are based on debt and scarcity nor understand beforehand that our

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

perceptions of scarcity and separation from one another are only illusions.

While the majority of economists say that money is an exchange, Bernard Lietaer, author of The Future of Money, states, that is what money does but not what it is. Fundamentally, money is a human agreement—a form of currency via an artifact designed, engineered and built by humans. This is something we have forgotten and it’s hurting us.

How did you approach the universally sensitive subject of money?

The film is purely a starting place and a tool that individuals can use to educate themselves and spark conversations. I kept the tone of the film as non-polarizing as possible so that conservative family members could cull compelling concepts that inspire further exploration, rather than walk away feeling a need to defend their beliefs. Awareness and knowledge breeds empowerment and innovative perspectives so that we all can better participate in whatever is emerging.

Will a new economy replace or parallel the existing one?

A new economy is emerging and operating in parallel. Beyond being based on gifting, alternative money, barter or other buzzwords, it’s coming online from a previously unknown place. This is one of the reasons I term the film emergent-oriented, rather than solutionoriented.

A quote by Richard Buckminster Fuller, systems theorist, architect and inventor, eloquently applies: “You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”

The fact is that the old economy, based on debt and scarcity, is designed to collapse. The more innovative we can be in participating in the emerging economy, the more conscious awareness we can bring to bear, improving the chances for increasingly positive impacts.

This year, many Americans are set to rock the charts by turning over a new leaf and morphing from more conventional workout modes to fresh takes on fitness.

Chart Toppers

Activities high on people’s lists these days reflect a perceived scarcity of time and money. The top picks, according to the Indianapolis-based American College of Sports Medicine (ACSM) Worldwide Survey of Fitness Trends for 2014, will be highintensity interval training (HIIT) and body weight training.

Both pursuits have been contenders in recent years, but are cresting the survey for the first time. A HIIT session, typically involving rapid bursts of activity interspersed with brief rest periods, usually takes less than 30 minutes. Body weight training’s appeal stems from its effectiveness and minimal need for fancy equipment or special gear.

The survey—involving hundreds of personal trainers, gym owners and other fitness insiders—further notes an increasing diversity in fitness offerings, plus some contradictory trends. Not everyone, for instance, is cost-conscious; fitness

professionals anticipate the continued rise of boutiques specializing in niche activities. Those with momentum range from ballet-inspired barre workouts to Pound and Drums Alive sessions, in which people “rock out” while they work out.

Grace DeSimone, an ACSM spokesperson, equates specialized offerings to an à la carte menu, with individuals choosing tasty workout modes. “It’s like a buffet,” she says. While a single class can cost up to $25, there seldom are membership fees. Muscles are treated to varied workouts, even if only once a week in a “boutique” treatment.

“It’s good for your body to cross-train; if you do the same thing over and over again, your body adapts,” DeSimone advises. Unless a competitive athlete is looking to improve performances in a given sport, repeating the same exercise daily can lead to injury and lessen the desired positive impact, she says. “Your body likes change.”

e

Spinning spin-offs like Soulcycle, Flywheel and Kinetic Cycling represent an evolution of indoor classes and oldschool outdoor cycling. Meanwhile, fitness instructors and wellness consultants note that Zumba has set the stage for dance-oriented workouts, diverging from Latin rhythms into hip-hop and other music genres.

If workouts are increasingly encroaching on “social” activities like dancing, it’s because the nation—or at least the expanding population trying to live healthier lifestyles—is undergoing a broader lifestyle transformation, says Jim White, of Virginia Beach, Virginia.

The registered dietitian, award-winning fitness pro and national spokesman for the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics observes, “There’s a shift in culture.”

He says, “People are sick of ‘yo-yoing’ with fad diets and exercise routines, and they are looking for effective new approaches, whether for dieting, social life, accountability or competition.” He sees this new mindset fueling the proliferation of websites and phone apps that facilitate everything from counting calories and

steps walked daily to on-the-go workouts.

What’s Playing

Interval Training: Both high- and low-intensity variations can resemble a fountain of youth for older adults, says DeSimone.

These can range from integrating a few five-minute sprints to enhance a halfhour walk to engaging in formalized Asian-influenced Tabata classes and boot camps.

High-intensity workouts aren’t for everyone. “HIIT is best delivered when it does not use the one-size-fits-all approach,” says Tony Ordas, a kinesiology lecturer at California State University, San Marcos. “Participants need to have an established level of cardiovascular endurance before increasing intensity.”

Body Weight Training: The natural, timeless exercise approach of using our own body weight instead of equipment can, if done right, hone muscles and build core strength, often in creative ways.

Personal Training, Small-Group Training and Wellness Coaching: Rising demand by individuals for support in achieving their desired results is propel-

ling growing numbers of trainers and coaches to obtain health and fitness college degrees and postgraduate certifications.

Specialized Fitness Programs: Programs geared to the needs of particular groups such as pregnant women, older adults, dog owners and those interested in losing weight remain popular. Activities vary in approach and intensity, but often emphasize “functional fitness”, focusing on building strength and balance useful in everyday life, rather than more athletic or competitive training.

Yoga: This ancient mind-body workout continues to extend from East to West, building on a host of classical forms such as hatha, ashtanga, kripalu, kundalini and Vinyasa. Relatively new forms also are extensive, from power yoga, Bikram and Yogalates to emerging hybrids like the yoga/surfing combination of Yoga Board.

Sustaining Your Stamina: Fitness After 60

A

s we age fitness becomes paramount to maintaining a physical stamina that fosters, not only general wellness and longevity, but a more youthful energy level as well.

However, there are special concerns for maintaining a physical stamina as we age.

The American College of Sports Medicine suggests that this age group has special exercise and fitness concerns that are not particularly as important for the younger age groups. Their recent physician council states : “maintaining muscular strength and endurance, and flexibility of the major muscle groups, a well-rounded training program including aerobic and resistance training, and flexibility exercises is recommended. Although age in itself is not a limiting factor to exercise training, a more gradual approach in applying the prescription at older ages seems prudent. And on this note their society physicians add: “The important factor is to design a program for the individual to provide the proper amount of physical activity to attain maximal benefit at the lowest risk for injury or damage… of particular importance for this age group is an appropriate warm-up and cool-down period, which must include flexibility exercises.”

Natural Awakenings asked Forever Fitness of Palm Beach Gardens, one of our outstanding local fitness centers that has many experts on its training staff in this area, to share their “pearls” and training considerations for their clients over 60.

MATTHEW GOODRICH First of all, I want to say thanks to the staff of Natural Awakenings for giving me a opportunity to share thoughts for “Fitness after 60” With over 76 million baby boomers, I think that there is an ever-growing demand for appropriate exercise activities for this age group. I believe the starting point for a good fitness regimen is finding the “Joy” in exercise. It can be found by having an open mind to a new exercise related experience, for example try yoga, stretch class, Zumba, power walking, or a personal trainer. Fitness can be defined as many things. If you find something you like, you will stick with it. Consistency is the key to sustaining stamina.

Take your time to find just the right fit for you and the Joy in exercise…. Health is Wealth.

to determine your current level of physical fitness. I recommend working with a professional trainer to incorporate light weights and cardio into a program tailored for your personal needs. Be progressive to prevent injury….and monitor your progress and enjoy the process.

WILLY GREEN In general, fitness training incorporates 4 core principles: Stretching, Flexibility, Muscle Development and Cardiovascular Fitness. As a personal trainer of all ages, I maintain that a proper training program for promoting general fitness and stamina throughout life should include all of these. There are some basic things you can do to make your fitness program successful and effective. Exercise when your bio-rhythmic energy level is high, for most, it is in the morning.

Eat a light breakfast of carbohydrates prior to your workout.

Your body needs fuel for the workout – save the protein for after workout. Do not take pain medicine prior to the workout with the expectation that you can work out “harder” with pain meds on board. You need your body to tell you what your limits are and pain or discomfort is the way it speaks to you. To reduce injury, perform a passive stretching sequence first. This is you stretching your body yourself. Aggressive stretching is stretching with assistance and should be saved for the end of your routine.

Weight training is a critical part of the fitness program. Weight training builds muscle and maintains muscle strength and definition. Have you ever noticed that some elderly people begin to “shuffle” walk? This is because their hamstring muscles begin to shorten with sedentary lifestyle and lack of exercise and their posture slumps forward with poor upper body muscle tone.

This is preventable with light, progressive weight training. And finally, there is cardio. The American College of Sports Medicine suggests 30 minutes daily; however, I suggest 30 minutes three times a week for maintaining CV health. Of course, your current cardiovascular status and medications must be considered in the design of your cardio regimen. This is what a personal trainer can bring to the table. These special years of your life are to be enjoyed not dreaded.

KENNY HARBIN As average lifespan has increased, very little emphasis has been placed on quality of life. There is no point in living longer if your health is subpar. By incorporating a fitness lifestyle through exercise and resistance training, quality of life is maintained throughout life as we age.

ROB BEATTIE With the longer life we are enjoying today, it is, as it always should have been, a priority to stay fit and flexible. Aging really does not carry a negative connotation when referring to fitness, as principles and programs have been put in place to cater to the needs of every body. A personal trainer can structure the appropriate program for you. Make fitness and flexibility a priority for your wellbeing regardless of age.

RICO MARCIANO As a baby boomer in your 60s it is important to attend and participate in a meaningful and regular fitness program. To get started, get an “okay” from your doctor. Next get an evaluation from a trusted fitness professional

GOALS Feeling Our Way

Reach Your Exercise Goals on your own terms!

to Happiness

Month to Month Membership – No Contract!

by Susie Ruth

M

any of us have our relationship to success inside-out. We busy ourselves so much with do-or-die goals we “should” achieve that we drown out the crucial signals life is sending our way—both from our own instincts and from others that can objectively see what we truly need.

According to Danielle LaPorte, author of The Desire Map: A Guide to Creating Goals with Soul, knowing how we want to feel inside yields the most potent clarity in identifying what’s critical to us. “We need to have soul-centered goals, and if we get clear on defining our core desired feelings—the way we most want to feel—then all of our goals are a means to create those feelings,” she says.

“It’s that simple.” The external things we want to have and experience are secondary goals, provided they contribute to the first.

LaPorte’s Desire Map process is a holistic life planning tool that helps spur our thinking about our core desired feelings and how to use them to start creating some goals with soul. At heart, it involves the following four highly personalized steps.

How do you want to feel? Engage in a stream of consciousness, allowing each query to lead to the next and letting your desired feelings flow. Do you want to, for example, feel continuously energized, connected or prosperous?

Consider areas such as livelihood and lifestyle (career, money, home, travel), health and wellness (healing, fitness, leisure, mental health) and relationships and community (romance, friendship, family).

Recognize patterns. Look for patterns in the desired feelings in order to distill your list to determine key, repeating words. Individuals tend to reach for the same feeling states across all areas of their lives. If you want to feel “vitality” within livelihood, then you likely wish to feel the same way in the context of wellness and relationships.

Declare your core desired feelings.

Now zero in on three to five core feelings that resonate most strongly inside.

Ask yourself what’s beneath each feeling.

For you, perhaps “success” is really about freedom, creativity or excellence. Look up the definitions of words—every word is its own world. Which feelings do you find to be the most uplifting, positive, satisfying and compelling?

Ask yourself: “What do I want to do, have or experience to create my core desired feelings?” Thus, you begin setting goals with soul. You see and make connections between how you want to feel and what will actually help you feel that way.

This is where you turn your ambitions truly inside-out and right-side-up to hitch your intentions to deeper and more nurturing meaning. This is the revolutionary beginning of realizing the ongoing success of a lifetime.

A YEAR TO LIVE

By Stephen Levine

J

anuary is always a wonderful month.

It can be a time of new beginnings; a time for deep reflection as to what is important in one’s life; a time to give energy to one’s intentions and aspirations; and a time to renew one’s resolutions.

It is a common practice to do all of this in January. And yet, it is also a common experience that the fire behind our New Year’s resolutions cools as the year goes on

Even though the book A Year to Live by Stephen Levine has been out for a number of years I wanted to write a review for it at this time. Stephine’s book is a powerful tool in keeping transformative energy alive throughout the whole year.

Levine, a poet, teacher and author, along with his wife Ondrea have worked extensively with individuals who are ill and dying. What he discovered is the tremendous amount of focus and determination that oftentimes accompanies terminal illnesses. He marveled at how people, faced with a limited time left to there lives, discovered how, in their own words, to fully live life by spending their remaining time in truly meaningful ways.

He also saw how much that noble effort was hampered by also having to contend with a serious illness at the same time. He speculates how valuable it would be if one could essentially tape into that reservoir of inner strength and commitment but not actually have to cope with the serious illness. He decided to make that attempt by

48

dedicating one full year and live that year as if it truly was his last. This book is a result of that experiment.

The following is an excerpt entitled: A Commitment to Life

What a luxury to have a year to live!

With 250,000 people dying each day, and knowing we are somewhere down that line, who has time to put life aside? We prepare for death by living every second, living life minutely, exploring our body and mind with a merciful awareness.

Awareness is itself a healing quality.

Where awareness is focused the deepest potentials for clarity and balance present themselves. Though what we are aware of may be incessantly changing, awareness itself remains a constant, a luminous spaciousness without beginning or end, without birth or death.

I am suggesting living a year so profoundly alive that we directly experience the moment-to-moment process that is our lives. We take responsibility for being alive, recognizing that responsibility is the ability to respond instead of the compulsion to react. We explore it all: that in us which at times wishes to be dead as well as that in us which never dies. That which blocks the heart and confuses the mind as well as that which clears confusion and dissolves obstruction.

Not imagining that “death will take care of everything,” we come to realize that our “knowing,” even our “understanding,” is not enough. We must integrate our insights and encourage the weary mind to settle into the expansive heart. We break the dreamlike quality of a half-attended life.

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

When you speak and when you listen, stay mindful that the fear which limits greater openness also limits self-awareness and obstructs the completion of unfinished business.

This one-year, last-year life experiment is not some morbid undertaking, quite the reverse. It does not invite death but rather encourages completion before dissolution. Although some suicidal niche in the mind might become enamored with the prospect of dying … such old-mind tendencies invite close examination. They are that part of each of us which would rather die than face, much less heal, our pain. They are the all-too-familiar feelings of powerlessness and inadequacy, which, when they are investigated, remind us of why so many parts of our live remain unlived. The one-year life experiment is a remedy for, not an indulgence of, such life-denying tendencies. In the course of its daily application, life becomes more vibrant and appreciated. It can be a vital medicine for so many aspects of ourselves that have become breathless and numb.

Olives and Olive Oil

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

T

he olive (Olea europaea) is a “drupe,” similar to the almond, apricot, cherry, peach and plum. Olives have been cultivated since prehistoric times in Asia Minor, and have since spread to the Mediterranean, China, South America, Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and California, where the first trees were planted in 1769 by the Franciscan missionaries in San Diego. In fact, California accounts for all commercial U.S. olive production, producing mostly black-ripe, pickled olives, with olive oil being only a minor by-productthere. They don’t grow well in Florida, they need a drier climate. Americans consume 1-2 pounds of olives per person per year.

Of the estimated 800 million olive trees in the world (yes, olive lovers estimate these things), about 90% are growing in the Mediterranean area. Spain produces the most varieties, while Italy produces the most oil (33 million gallons annually).

Northern Italy even has its own olive museum, the “Museo dell’Olivo”.

The olive tree is a small, evergreen tree, with an average height of about 20

feet. Olive trees will bear fruit in their second to fourth year, and continue producing on a roughly “on and off” year cycle (i.e. every other year is a good producing year).

Some olive trees are estimated to be over 2000 years old!

The olive, its tree and oil, have been the subject of food and cooking, commerce, art, music, poetry, religion, and history for thousands of years. Think of the dove bringing back an olive branch to Noah after the Deluge. Moses exempted men from military service who worked in the olive groves. Jeremiah (11:16) described prosperous Israel as “a green olive tree, fair, and of goodly fruit.” In Greek mythology, Athena gave the olive to humans as a gift, and the grateful citizens of Attica then named the city of Athens for her. Olive oil was offered and burned in ancient temples, and olive leaf crowns were given to victors of competitions, games and battles. There is a mythological story of Adam, when suffering from pain and asking for help, was visited by the angel Gabriel with an olive tree, who told Adam

to “plant it, then pick the fruit and press its oil. It will cure your pain and sickness.” An old Arab riddle goes: “Our servant is green; her children are born white and then grow black; who is she? - An olive tree.”

“O Love, what hours were thine and mine, In lands of palm and southern pine; In lands of palm, of orange blossom, Of olive, aloe, and maize and vine.”

Alfred, Lord Tennyson “The Daisy” 1847.

All fresh olives are bitter and tough.

Their many colors are due to different stages of ripeness and how they are cured (like apples go from green to red, etc.).

Olives are separated by size and color, treated with wood ash or lye (like soap); cured in dry salt, wet salt (brine), or oil, or roasted; and packed in oil or vinegar with herbs and spices, etc. Olives have calories: around 15 calories apiece.

A ton of olives produces about 50 gallons of oil. There are a number of methods of extracting oil from olives, varying with producers and countries. Virgin olive oil, which has a light greenish tint, is obtained by pressing crushed olives in coarse bags and skimming the oil from the tubs of water through which it is conducted. The cake left in the bags is moistened and repressed for different grades or types of oil. Provence oil is supposedly the most valued and most refined (my guess is there are other opinions on that!). Official olive soap is made from olive oil and sodium hydroxide. Olive wood is beautifully grained and polishes well, is faintly fragrant, and is valued in cabinet work.

The medicinal parts are the dried leaves, branches and flowers, as well as the olive oil itself. There are many biochemically active compounds in the oil and leaves. The main fatty acids in the olive oil are oleic acid, palmitic acid, and linoleic acid (that’s all good!). The olive leaves also have many compounds, including oleoropine and some flavonoids (antioxidants).

There are many traditional uses of the oil and leaves, and some good science to support some of the evidence. Olive leaves are astringent and antiseptic. Olive leaf extract is used to: • enhance the immune system • antimicrobial • antioxidant • hypoglycemic • hypotensive • antiarrhythmic • spasmolytic (relaxes the smooth muscles of the intestine) • anti-inflammatory • reduces fever • reduces rheumatism and gout.

Olive oil’s properties include: • antisclerotic (reduces serum lipids) • soothe gastrointestinal ulcers • hypoglycemic • contracts the gall bladder • laxative • moisturize skin and skin

conditions such as psoriasis,

eczema, sunburn, and burns.

Contraindications: There are no known drug interactions.

Olive oil in large amounts is contraindicated in people with gallstones. Let me say a few words about the popular “liver flush”: Don’t do it if you have gallstones. A typical “liver flush” consists of drinking a cup of olive oil with the juice of two lemons once a day for several days. That’s fairly risky, since it may easily result in a gallstone blocking one of the bile ducts. And oleic acid, one of the compounds of olive oil, has actually been shown to cause gallstones in animals!

Dosage: The “PDR of Herbal Medicines” reports no known “dosage” of olive leaf extract. To prepare an infusion, pour 150 ml of hot water over 7- 8 grams of dried leaves. Tea is made using hot water plus 2 teaspoonfuls of dried extract. For olive oil, 15-30 ml, 3 times daily at mealtimes helps gastrointestinal ulcers. Again, do not use it if you suspect you have gallstones. There are about a zillion ways to enjoy olives and olive oils. Check your local bookstore for cookbooks or the internet for information and recipes.

Certified Trager Practitioner Boca Raton, FL Lic. # MA. 6678 Since 1988 (954) 675- 9553 www.tragerus.org What Happens During a Trager Session? The concern is not with moving the particular muscles or joints per se, but using motion in muscles and joints to produce positive, pleasurable feelings which enter the central nervous system and begin to trigger changes by means of many sensory-motor feedback loops between the mind and the muscles. Unlike many movement reeducation methods, the client has no task to perform, but rather becomes increasingly passive to the steady, rhythmic motions imparted by the practitioner’s hands; each o f the several thousand light rhythmic contacts, creating and deepening the feeling of lightness, freedom and ease.

Natural Iodine Supplementation W

A Must for Most Americans

e all need iodine, yet most of us don’t get enough of it through our diet. A study in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that iodine deficiency in the developed world has increased fourfold in the past 40 years and now affects nearly three-quarters of all adults.

Numerous U.S. practicing physicians quoted widely in the media estimate that the incidence of hypothyroidism in our adult population may be between 30 and 70 percent.

Thus, we can’t efficiently produce the thyroid hormones that serve as chemical messengers triggering nearly every bodily function. The presence or absence of iodine affects our every cell.

Natural Awakenings Detoxifed Iodine is 100 percent natural, raw iodine in an ethyl alcohol solution. We thank all those that are benefiting from this product and enthusiastically telling us their great results.  Available only at NAWebstore.com 

deafness, attention deficient and hyperactivity disorder and impaired growth, according to studies by Boston University, China’s Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and France’s National Academy of Medicine.

The answer is simple: Taking the right kind of iodine in the right dosage can rebalance thyroid function and restore health to the thyroid and the whole body.

Reasons Behind Iodine Deficiency Radiation: Almost everyone is routinely exposed to iodine-depleting radiation emitted by cell phones, Wi-Fi, microwave ovens and other electronic devices.

Iodized table salt: The human body cannot utilize the iodine added to this product.

Low-sodium diets: Failure to use healthy salts to fulfill sodium requirements, plus over-

My wife, who suffered from extreme fatigue and other symptoms, saw a dramatic increase in energy after just a few days of taking the natural iodine drops. Now if she misses a day, she’ll end up falling asleep in the middle of the afternoon, like she used to do before taking the iodine. It works! ~ Aaron My doctor told me that I had a hypothyroid condition, prescribed medication and was happy with the follow-up test results, yet I noticed no positive effects on my overall wellbeing. Within two weeks of using the Natural Awakenings Detoxified Iodine, I had more energy, felt more awake and enjoyed clearer thinking and greater peace of mind. People even comment that I look younger. I am a fan! ~ Larry

Be Aware of Hypothyroidism Symptoms Low thyroid function, or hypothyroidism, is the most recognized and obvious indicator of low iodine intake because the thyroid gland contains more concentrated iodine than other organs.

Symptoms can range from extreme fatigue and weight gain to depression, carpal tunnel syndrome, high blood pressure, fibrocystic breasts and a variety of skin and hair problems.

Hypothyroidism can further cause infertility, joint pain, heart disease and stroke. Low iodine levels also have been associated with breast and thyroid cancers. In children, insufficient iodine has been strongly linked with mental retardation,

use of zero-nutrient table salt in foods, leads to iodine depletion.

Bromine: This toxic chemical overrides iodine’s abilities to nourish the thyroid, adrenal and other hormone-producing glands.

A known carcinogen, it is used as an anticaking ingredient found in almost all baked goods, unless the ingredients specifically cite unbromated flour.

Iodine-depleted soils: Due to poor farming techniques, iodine and other minerals in soil have declined, so most foods today are devoid of naturally occurring iodine.

Proper iodine supplementation with a high-quality product like Natural Awakenings Detoxified Iodine can prevent harm by protecting the thyroid and other endocrine glands and restoring proper hormone production.
