newsbriefs Children, Parents Can Create Solar Butterflies During Kinetic Art Event In Boynton Beach

lexandre Dang, a French solar kinetic artist who currently lives and works in Brussels, Belgium, will conduct a series of FREE, creative workshops for children and their parents during the International Kinetic Art Exhibit and Symposium, Feb. 7-8, 2015, in Boynton Beach. During the one hour workshops, which will be held both days at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m., at the Schoolhouse Children's Museum and Learning Center in downtown Boynton Beach, Dang will lead participants in constructing dancing solar butterflies that they will attach to solar mechanisms and place in the museum's courtyard. The goal of the workshops is to teach those who take part about solar energy and how they can conserve it. To preregister for the workshops, which include instruction and a Certificate of Completion signed by Alexandre Dang, email suzanne@schoolhousemuseum.org. For those who don't preregister but still wish to make a dancing solar butterfly, they may do so with the guidance of museum staff anytime during the event weekend. To see past workshops, visit http://tinyurl. com/po2a89c. To see prior exhibitions, visit http://tinyurl.com/o7pf7qz.

Alexandre Dang comes from a scientific background. Convinced of the need to raise awareness of the potential of environmental friendly technologies (eco-technologies) and sustainable development, he developed his artistic creation often incorporating solar energy as source into his kinetic art works. Though the sun provides 10,000 times more energy to the earth than humans need, more than 1.7 billion people still do not have access to electricity. The pressing need to address this issue is the driving force of Dang’s artistic commitment, where he combines scientific approach, environmental concern and humanism. To learn more, visit solarsolidarite.org. Dang will also conduct workshops at Galaxy E3 (Engineering, Energy, Environment) Elementary School in Boynton Beach on Friday, Feb. 6. Students there will also create dancing solar butterflies that will be added to the exhibit at the Schoolhouse Children's Museum and Learning Center. Both the school and the museum are excited to bring this valuable workshop to their facilities as it aligns with their S.T.E.A.M., Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math programming.

Created by the Boynton Beach Arts Commission and produced by the City of Boynton Beach Art in Public Places program, the International Kinetic Art Exhibit and Symposium is a biennial event held in downtown Boynton Beach that is free and open to the public. Its purpose is to connect the public to one-of-a-kind visual experiences. The event features both indoor and outdoor iconic works of kinetic art, educational presentations and the opportunity to meet an array of international kinetic artists. Other components for 2015 will include the first “Kinetic Connection,” a community based kinetic artwork, and a Solar Tree student kinetic art exhibition. This event is supported by Equity One, Inc., Kinetic Art Organization (KAO), International Sculpture Center, Cultural Council of Palm Beach County, Buffalo Wild Wings, Boca Bearings, and Hacklab. Other sponsors include Solartree Project, Coastal Star, Neighborhood Gallery, Schoolhouse Children's Museum and Learning Center, The Secret Garden Cafe and the Boynton Beach Community Redevelopment Agency. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available by contacting Debby Coles-Dobay at (561) 742-6026. For more information on the 2015 International Kinetic Art Exhibit and Symposium, call (561) 742-6026, email ColesDobayd@ bbfl.us or visit IntlKineticArtEvent.org.

here’s a Chinese adage that says: “Treat your eyes like your treasure!” In traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), our eyes and the liver are closely related. The Chinese believe a strong liver and kidneys will prevent aging. The liver is our body’s most important organ after the heart, performing many important functions including metabolism, detoxification and the formation of important compounds including blood clotting factors. A weak liver may affect memory, sleep, thyroid, body weight and one’s mood. In hospitals, newborn babies are checked for jaundice, a common liver condition that reveals a yellow color in the eyes and skin. In Iridology, (a system to analyze the health through reading the iris), every organ is connected to the iris, through the nervous system. The nerve fibers receive their impulses through the optic nerve, optic thalami, and the spinal cord. Naturally, when our eyes are strong, the energy will reflect back to all parts of the body, including the state of our liver. “Of our five senses, sight is the most important for leading a long normal life and stimulates the soul. If all the muscles in your body need exercise, and you know the feeling of sluggishness when you don’t get a workout, don’t your eyes feel neglected? I was taught the eye exercises by Master Wu. I will compare it to doing aerobics for the eyes; the whole body feels

Chinese Chi Gong (also referred as Qi Gong) Qi Gong’s popularity has grown as an effective treatment after Tai Chi and acupuncture, because of the Qi theory. Qi Gong is sometimes described as “acupuncture without needles.” A daily practice improves the flow of our life force energy or Chi. There are many forms of Qi Gong and they are designed for different therapeutic purposes. One form of Qi Gong that supports eye health and therefore the liver is Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® developed by Grandmaster Weizhao Wu. Story of Wu's Eye Qi Gong® Many people are fascinated and touched by the story of Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® and how it was created. In the late 1980s, Grandmaster Wu returned home from a trip and found his mother’s eyes bleeding. The diagnosis was a stroke and hardening of the arteries. According to the doctor, his mother was going blind. It would take years for her eyes to heal and the chances were slim. The Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® form was created almost overnight to save his mother’s failing eyes and keep her from going blind. Wu taught his mother how to do his eye Chi Gong form and every day he also performed concentrated chi healing on her eyes. Within weeks, his mother’s eyes regained complete vision and she was able to thread a needle. She was in her 80’s! It was a complete surprise to him and to the medical doctors. Between 1990 and 1992, Wu represented the Guangdong Province and Guangzhou City to lead a 100-person medical research team to conduct a threeyear comprehensive scientific study on the effects of Qi Gong on the eyes. It involved 4,000 volunteers who practiced Wu's Eye Qi Gong ® for various eye problems. The Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® proved to have more than a 90 percent success rate, and due to such a high achievement, Wu’s Eye

Qi Gong® was introduced throughout China to physicians, educators and children through the public school system. To this day, students maintain a daily routine of eye exercises and very few of them wear glasses. He was highly regarded for his contribution and received many honours and awards. Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® since then has been used as a self-help tool for various eye problems, such as tired eyes, glaucoma, macular degeneration, detached retina and much more. The home practice DVD is the most popular and in demand. The Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® program consists of a series of gentle, easy to do eye movements together with a focused breath. It can be performed in a sitting or lying position. It is excellent as a prevention or support tool for improving the health of the eyes and liver. The teachings are comprehensive and educational. Students are shown step-by-step how easily they can perform the movements. The practice can be performed in as little as 10 minutes or longer, according to a person’s needs. Students report that practicing the Wu's Eye Qi Gong®, using new refined techniques helps with myopia, macular degeneration, blurry eyes, dry eyes, tired eyes, cataracts, headaches/migraines. It is a simple form that takes only minutes a day to practice, yet yields immediate results. It is especially useful for those who are using the computer for long periods of time.

newsbriefs Carpet Care And Stain Removal The Green Way

he best way to keep your carpet and upholstery clean is to leave toxins at the door. Imagine what’s on your shoes and clothes at the end of the day. Bringing in dirt and oil, animal waste, chemical residue, pollen - and who knows what else - into the house is not good for your floors or your health. This is especially true for kids and pets that spend time on the floor. To minimize the amount of debris you bring into your home, use a good doormat both inside and out, or try a shoeless house policy – keep a basket or shelf for clean indoor shoes at the door. Less dirt also means less sweeping, mopping, and vacuuming. To keep your carpets cleaner longer, treat stains immediately by soaking the spot with a small amount of club soda or water. Blot until the stain is gone. Never scrub or use hot water as this will set the stain. For a heavy duty stain, combine ¼ cup each of Borax, salt, and vinegar to form a paste. Gently rub this mixture into your carpet with a soft brush or rag and let it dry. Follow by vacuuming the spot thoroughly. To treat pet accidents, cover with toweling and press firmly to absorb as much liquid as possible. Gently wash the spot with a few drops of liquid dish detergent and rinse with 1/2 cup vinegar diluted in 1 quart of warm water. Be careful not to saturate the carpet with too much liquid that can push the urine down to the carpet backing or padding. The next step is to lay towels over the spot and weight down with a heavy object to absorb excess moisture. Let stand 3 hours, then remove toweling, brush up nap, and allow to dry completely. Use an electric fan to speed drying so carpet will not mold. When it is time to clean your carpets, avoid hot water extraction or steam. It is impossible to remove all of the water and damp carpets begin to mold in as little as 4 hours. In addition, the sticky, soapy cleaning product residue, even if natural, can attract dirt and cause old stains to “wick up” (resurface). For best results, choose a dry carpet cleaning process that uses plant based, non-toxic cleaners instead. For a complete guide to green cleaning and stain removal, with recipes for making your own products, visit www.greenwaycarpetcare.com – FAQS/Green Cleaning Tips & Articles/Recipes.

newsbriefs Alternatives to Hair Coloring: Henna & Herbs!

he growing demand of "going green" is bringing back one of the ancient hair coloring alternatives: henna for your hair! You can find hundreds of fans blogging about it and teaching how to use it. Before A quick explanation about how henna & herbs works, we must inform clients and they need to understand the nature of these amazing coloring hair herbs including the Do’s and the Don’ts. Blonde, Brown, Auburn, Mahogany, and other “shades” of henna are mixes of amla, indigo, walnut, rhubarb, and lawsonia, with other plants. Henna will not lift the color only deposit pigments. It can gray, blend, enhance, deepen or darken hair. Once the henna’s dye has oxidized and reached its final shades, the color is permanently impregnated into the strand. Shampooing, chlorine, blow-drying, will all cause some type of degradation but Henna will not be gone until you cut your hair. Repeated applications of henna mixes create a richer, deeper color. Processing times can go from 30 minutes to 5 hours or longer depending on hair porousness, amount of gray, etc. Maintenance is the same as conventional dyes, it depends on how quickly your hair grows. One of the biggest benefits is the shine without forgetting mentioning the scalp detox. Henna is a plant commonly from Yemen, Pakistan ,India. The natural dye pigment is called lawsone (red-orange dye that naturally occurs in henna leaves) its molecule is too big to go inside the hair but the henna binds to the keratin in your hair staining it. The henna color it will darken gradually over a few days, usually 48 hours, through an oxidation process. Cassia Obovata is often called blond or neutral henna but it is not henna family. It's a native tree from Egypt and Nubia . It containing chrysophanic acid, it stains your hair with hue of yellow. Cassia has anti-bacterial fungal properties. Indigofera Tinctoria, partially fermented,contains natural indigo blue dye. There are not that many salons that offer henna services due to lack of information on henna. Besides the henna has been under fire due to contaminants. Henna is a product for dyeing hair that may include metallic salts or may include synthetic dyes, including para-phenylenediamine (PPD'S) to add variation of color. Another problem with the old fashion methods of preparation is using mordants to fix the color leaching iron, copper, calcium. With the older preparations, stylists had bad experiences removing henna or having nightmares when conventional hair colors with peroxide become in contact with the minerals added to the henna. Hair Holistic eco-friendly studio color expert, Ibana Villasenor, uses plants hair color as one of their hair coloring choices. Ibana customizes her approach and recommendations giving each client a personalized hair color totally adapted to your natural shade. These muds & hennas hair coloring service are made of henna, plants, spices and natural pigments, giving the hair a shiny and healthy look. It also grows out much more naturally than classic hair color. These herbs are environment-friendly and respectful for your hair. We use a high quality of henna from a reputable supplier that uses have herbs that been laboratory certified and are pH neutral and certified to have: NO PPD • NO chemical dye • NO lead •No pesticide residue No contaminants or adulterants

New Radio show with Margaret Ann Lembo on OMTimes Radio |Tuesdays at 10 AM ET IMAGINE MAGNIFICENCE Live to your unlimited potential

Faith is taking the first

step even when you don’t see the whole staircase. ~Martin Luther King, Jr.

re you ready to live to your highest potential? Everyone is born with unlimited potential. We each have a choice to decide who we want to be, what we want to have, and then do it. To achieve this, it is best to uncover your personal truth. Who are you? Are you who you want to be? Do you think good things about yourself? Do you recognize that you are magnificent? Well, you are! It is just a matter of uncovering that magnificence and it all starts with your imagination. Imagination is the key . . . well, to everything! Imagination is the ability to form mental images of things that are not present to the senses or not considered to be real. Add to this feelings and emotions and then think thoughts that are consistently in alignment with that “imagined reality” and soon you’ll be on your way to who you want to be and what you want to achieve or receive. To help achieve this goal I am happy to announce my new Radio Show, Imagine Magnificence on iOM.fm - OMTimes Radio. Tune in every Tuesday at 10 AM ET to be inspired by visionary authors, speakers, and luminaries to help you live to your unlimited potential.

ew of us ever think of our immune system, or the elaborate system of tubes, valves and filters that make up our Lymphatic System. Few of us, that is, until it doesn't function properly. Our immunity is working 24 hours a day, seven days a week, year in and year out. However, we don't pay attention to the little signs of low immunity or compromised immunity that we may get months before a more serious condition occurs. Some studies show that although our lifespan is significantly longer than at any point in history, we actually are being assaulted daily by chemicals, toxins, drugs and stresses that would have killed even the strongest human at any other time. We believe that because we are so advanced, we should be able to live a long, healthy life. But the reality is very different. Studies show that infection and immune dysfunction are the strongest factors contributing to chronic disease and debilitation. Diseases that used to occur only in the elderly are occurring at alarming rates among teenagers and people in their 20's. We are sick more often and for longer periods of time. Many of us live with chronic illness. We use our immune system every day, not just to ward off bacteria, viruses and other pathogens, but also to eliminate dead cells, worn-out body tissue and toxins that we are exposed to every day of our lives. Even the use of antibiotics, oral contraceptives, antihistamines and aspirin on a daily basis can wreak havoc with our immune systems over time. Many of us are even adding to this strain by consuming exogenous hormones or antibiotics in the meat we eat. So What Can We Do For Our Lymphatic System? Lymphatic Drainage Therapy can help to increase lymphatic movement by gently pressing lymphatic fluid through the nodes and tissues of the body. Since natural lymphatic movement relies on muscular contraction, breathing and even the muscles of digestion, there can be many times when our lymphatics may not get pumped enough. Periods of illness when we are confined to bed, sedentary occupations, poor digestive function such as constipation and even dehydration when there is just not enough water to liquefy the lymph; everyone has experienced these situations at one time or another. New Year New You! Start the new year feeling great! Schedule lymphatic drainage therapy to improve overall health! At the start of the flu season, you can boost your immune system by having one or two Lymphatic Massage sessions. Detoxify body,anti-aging benefits,natural face-lifting, boosting immune system, reduce stress, helps with edema, cellulite. Natalya Durand is internationally trained Massage Therapist and Skin Care therapist since 1999. Specializing in Lymphatic drainage Therapy.

newsbriefs The Beginning Is Near “Don’t worry about the world coming to an end today. It’s already tomorrow in Australia.” — Charles Schultz

ince the beginning of time, people have worried about the end of the world. Every generation has had its share of gloomy prophets, and every generation has believed its plight was the worst. Yet, we are still here, and somehow humanity keeps surviving and growing in consciousness. Life on earth is always changing, and it is always improving. We are in the midst of a great shift in consciousness that is almost palpable. Many of us are experiencing a feeling of time speeding up and are on a search for new ways of living. Live fully today. As we remember more and more how to experience our spiritmind-body wholeness, we have the potential to transcend our old ways of being and come to live together in joy, peace and harmony. As we enter the new year, take stock of the last year. Ask yourself: • What did you set out to do last year? • Have you been true to your goals and yourself? • What gifts and awakenings did you receive that were surprising? • How have you been able to turn your challenges into blessings?

You are wiser, deeper, and richer for your experiences. Take your knowledge and build on it to make a new year unlike any you have lived before. Devote this new year to gratitude, blessing, and celebration. Write down what you would like to leave behind and what you would like to take with you. Honor those who have loved and supported you by thanking them in your heart and with your words. You may be surprised by how much grace you have received and how loved you are!

newsbriefs 2015- BE INSPIRED!

e often think of artistic and creative people as inspired. Considered to be passionate people, they are driven to create a poem, a song, a sculpture, a painting - some visible work of art. Many artists are enrolled in the “Tortured Soul” School of Creativity.” Their inspiration only came through a deep angst that demands expression – or their life. Think of Vincent Van Gogh as well as other creative masters such as playwright Eugene O’Neill and what may be surprising to some of you, the creator of that quirky beagle ”Peanuts” - Charles Schultz, who struggled for years with his own demons of discontent. Many years ago I knew a writer named Mark. He forever carried his manuscripts around in a black tattered and worn briefcase that never left his side. He was fond of wearing an oversized, black (and worn, of course) trench coat that seemed to engulf him. Mark was painfully thin, with equally thinning hair and a tiny black brush of a moustache. He chain smoked unfiltered camels and loved Williams Pear Brandy. He was the long suffering artist - dark, quirky and irreverently funny. Mark believed his creative genius would only emerge if he was penniless… and occasionally homeless. He would write while sitting in a straight backed wooden chair, amidst the clouds of cigarette smoke, in a cramped room with a single bare light bulb hanging from the ceiling. His belief was that only through profound suffering could he create a profound piece of literature. Mark’s beliefs became his reality. Come here…Muse…Muse….Muse Another happier form of inspiration is the Muse. I do love the idea of a Muse – those darlings of Greek Mythology – a sisterhood of 9 goddesses who gently whispers in our ear inspiring words to set our soul afire and then bursts through our consciousness with a passionate outpouring of creativity. When we are inspired things somehow take on a magical quality. That’s how it is for me. I’m here – at least the physical part – yet my energy, my essence is communicating to me from another plane. I’m on fire with desire and I cannot stop

the flow of ideas. We all know that feeling; we don’t eat and we lose track of time and space. Hours fly by that feel like minutes. Maybe inspiration resides in the “zero point” field- the place of unlimited possibilities. I think we’ve all have the experience of receiving a sudden inspiration that compels you to do or say something or have the feeling that you just “gotta get out of here.” And then, there it is - we find ourselves at the cliffhanger of our own novel, we either jump into the unknown abyss with faith and trust that we’re following a higher purpose or we retreat back into that false sense of security of someone else’s seemingly rational retorts: “ Are you NUTS? “You can’t do that” “Nobody else has ever done that” and then the horror stories: “I have a cousin who tried to do that and now he’s broke….lost everything and you know he never recovered.” Inspiration comes in many different ways and forms. We love to romanticize about it and think it comes with lightening bolt force and harps playing. Note: My personal preference is that we see a giant neon sign drop down from the heavens that clearly states: “DO THIS” – behind which of course, is a heavenly choir singing the “Halleluiah chorus” from Handel’s Messiah. Inspiration can come with lightening speed, but most likely it comes as a whisper and not a yell. Maybe we hear it at the edge of sleep or deep within a dream. I believe within each and every one of us is a soulful craving, a passionate desire that breathes life into our being. It is, in part “why” we are here. Maybe you had a glimpse of it when you were growing up. What did you aspire to be when you were a child? “Queen of the Universe” you say? Don’t be so quick to dismiss it. Somewhere within a seemingly silly aspiration is a clue to what inspires you. How do we tune in to our voice of inspiration? • Learn how to stop the Monkey Mind – that looped chatter that goes on incessantly. Did you know that our brain has about 60,000 thoughts a day? Most of it is repetitive and negative. • Learn to mediate. • Do some Yoga. Take a walk in nature, sit by the ocean. • Read Julia Cameron’s “The Artist’s Way.” It is both empowering and inspiring.

Eucalyptus Oil Inhibits Spread of TB

any of the natural compounds in the essential oil of Eucalyptus citriodora may prevent the airborne spread of the tuberculosis (TB) bacterium (Mycobacterium tuberculosis), according to a study from the Institute for Tuberculosis Research at the University of Illinois College of Pharmacy. Several of the compounds in the eucalyptus oil inhibited the airborne spread of the infection by 90 percent, while the major component of the oil was only weakly active, at 18 percent. The scientists used an array of analytical laboratory tests to measure the airborne spread of TB from contagious patients. They also identified 32 active airborne compounds within the essential oil of eucalyptus and studied the impact of the interaction of multiple components in artificial mixtures. The researchers undertook the study because “the rapid emergence of extensively and multidrug-resistant tuberculosis has created a pressing public health problem… and represents a new constraint in the already challenging disease management of TB.”

Legumes, Nuts and Corn Cut Risk of Breast Cancer

Harvard Medical School study concluded that eating more peanut butter, corn, nuts and beans, including lentils and soybeans, during adolescence significantly reduces the risk of breast cancer later on. The researchers followed 9,039 young women that were between 9 and 15 years old when the study started in 1996, having the subjects complete diet questionnaires every year through 2001, and also in 2003, 2004, 2007 and 2010. When the women were ages 18 to 30, the number of benign breast diseases that had developed was recorded. The statistics associated a daily serving of nuts and legumes at age 14 with a 66 percent reduction in the risk of developing breast cancer. Just a single serving of peanut butter once every three days at the age of 11 was associated with a 44 percent reduction of breast cancer risk. Intake of at least one serving of corn every three days was correlated with a 39 percent reduction in the disease. Earlier studies by Harvard researchers found that eating pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, soybeans, tofu and other vegetable fats also reduces breast cancer risk. 28

SECONDHAND SMOKE DAMAGES CHILDREN’S HEARING

esearchers from São Paulo’s School of Medical Sciences of Santa Casa have found that secondhand smoke negatively affects a child’s hearing. The researchers tested 145 students between ages 8 and 10 that showed normal hearing in standardized tests. Their secondhand smoke exposure was measured by the level of a nicotine metabolite in the children’s urine. The 60 youngsters that had been exposed to secondhand smoke showed significantly lower responses to certain frequencies in both ears when compared to the others that weren’t exposed to the smoke. Researchers suspect that the affecting mechanism may be the acrolein gas that forms from burning tobacco cigarettes. The chemical was found to damage ear cells in a study published in the International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology. A 2012 study of diesel exhaust, which likewise produces acrolein gas, by the Republic of Korea’s Dongguk University, also showed damage to middle ear cells. Supporting these results, a study published in the American Medical Association Otolaryngology – Head and Neck Surgery journal found that smoking during pregnancy almost triples the risk of lowfrequency hearing loss in the child. The study tested 964 adolescents between ages 12 and 15, of whom 16 percent were exposed to prenatal smoking.

Body Symmetry Correlates with Male Strength

esearch from Germany’s University of Göttingen has determined that men with greater body symmetry also have greater strength. The scientists sampled 69 heterosexual, right-handed adult men, measuring handgrip strength as a scientifically recognized means for determining power and strength, as well as fluctuating asymmetry (FA), a measure of subtle, random deviations from perfect bilateral symmetry in traits that are typically symmetrical in the general population. FA was evaluated by measuring and comparing 12 body feature traits on the right and left sides, including breadth of the hand, wrist and elbow; finger length; and facial features. After eliminating the effects of body mass index, the researchers determined that the men with the greatest physical symmetry were stronger. Facial symmetry in males was associated with greater intelligence and better information-processing efficiency at age 83.

PHOTOTHERAPY REDUCES KNEE PAIN

Research from Brazil’s Universidade Nove de Julho has confirmed that pulsed lasers and LED therapy applied during treatment can significantly reduce knee pain. The 86 patients that participated in the study were divided into two groups; one received 12 treatments using super-pulsed red laser and infrared LED phototherapy and the control (placebo) group received 12 treatments using non-therapeutic phototherapy instruments. The patients given therapeutic phototherapy reported feeling significantly less pain, beginning with and continuing after the tenth treatment through a one-month follow-up visit, and showed improved quality of life compared with the study’s placebo group.

YOGA BREATHING HELPS ILL KIDS’ LUNGS

esearchers from Brazil’s University of São Paulo have found that hatha yoga breathing exercises can significantly improve lung function in children with Duchenne muscular dystrophy, a disease that often ends in premature death from respiratory failure. The average age of the 26 children that completed the study was 9-and-a-half years old. Participants were taught how to perform hatha yoga breathing exercises and instructed to perform them three times a day for 10 months. The researchers performed spirometry [breathing] tests before, during and after the study period. At the end of the 10 months of practice, the scientists found the breathing exercises improved both the children’s forced vital capacity (the volume of air that can forcibly be blown out after full inspiration) and forced expiratory volume in one second (the volume of air that can forcibly be exhaled in one second after full inspiration).

Low Magnesium Levels Linked to Kidney Disease

study from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine found that people with low levels of magnesium in their blood have a significantly greater risk of chronic kidney disease. The researchers correlated the blood levels of magnesium in 13,226 people ages 45 to 65 with the incidence of chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease among them. Subjects that had blood serum magnesium levels below what is generally considered the normal range (0.7–1 millimole per liter) were associated with a 58 percent increased risk of chronic kidney disease and a 139 percent increased risk of end-stage renal disease. Abnormally low levels of magnesium may result from a number of conditions, including inadequate intake of serum magnesium due to chronic diarrhea, malabsorption, alcoholism, chronic stress and the use of medications such as diuretics. Foods rich in magnesium include leafy greens, nuts and seeds, beans, whole grains, avocados, bananas and figs.

Safer Groceries Landmark Food Law Being Enforced

The Center for Food Safety (CFS) has reached a settlement agreement (Tinyurl. com/FoodSettlementAgreement) with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) that sets firm deadlines for the agency to fully enact the 2011 Food Safety Modernization Act. A federal court will maintain supervision to ensure FDA compliance. CFS senior attorney George Kimbrell, who led the case, says, “The first major update to our food safety laws since 1938 must now be implemented in a closedended, timely fashion. That means safer food for American families.” Congress passed the law to combat the epidemic of food-borne illnesses affecting one in six Americans annually. After repeated delays, the FDA must now comply with the following court-overseen schedule to implement the final rules: preventative controls for human and animal food (8/30/2015); imported food and foreign suppliers (10/31/2015); produce safety (10/31/2015); food transportation (3/31/2016); and intentional adulteration of food (5/31/2016).

Holistic Healers Reach Out to the Underserved

Two companies in Japan will begin building two huge new solar power islands that will float on reservoirs, following the inception of the Kagoshima floating solar plant as the country’s largest, which opened in late 2013 just off the country’s southern coast. The new direction comes as Japan looks to move on from the Fukushima atomic disaster of 2011 and meet the energy needs of its 127 million people without relying on nuclear power. Before the incident, about 30 percent of the country’s power was generated by nuclear plants, but Fukushima destroyed public confidence, and with earthquakes highly likely in regions containing reactors, Japan is looking for alternatives. Solar islands could also be a solution for other countries where space or nuclear concerns are an issue. It’s possible that one day a significant portion of Europe’s power could come from use of the technology; experts believe the engineering challenges can be surmounted.

An annual report issued by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention notes that up to 33 percent of uninsured people are avoiding needed treatment for economic reasons. Lifestyle changes and natural remedies like yoga and massage therapy can be highly effective when treating conditions such as high blood pressure, depression or aching joints, and groups nationwide are making these modalities more affordable for everyone. At California’s Healing Clinic Collective (HealingClinicCollective.Wordpress.com), in Oakland, women receive a day of free holistic health care—from acupuncture to massage therapy and nutritional counseling—and discounted rates for follow-up appointments. The Third Root Community Health Center (ThirdRoot.org), in Brooklyn, helps arrange for acupuncturists, herbalists, Reiki practitioners and others to treat low-income people in New York City, especially community organizers and activists that are often overworked and lack the resources for these types of care. The Samarya Center (Samarya Center.org), in Seattle, Washington, uses revenue from its yoga studio to provide free yoga to critically ill patients served by the city’s Bailey-Boushay House and the local VA hospital, and also to patients with chronic pain at the Pike Place Medical Clinic, which treats many homeless and low-income Seattle residents.

Pristine Protection

America’s Huge New Underwater Park The Pacific Remote Islands National Marine Monument—about 470,000 square miles of ocean surrounding a couple of remote U.S. Pacific islands—is now officially set aside to protect its pristine habitat from deep-sea mining and commercial fishing. Although smaller than the nearly 800,000 square miles of its original plan, the park is still twice the size of Texas. In a final compromise, fishermen will have access to the waters around half of the islands and atolls, while the other half remains protected. Only 2 percent of the entire Pacific enjoys similar protection.

Corn Guzzler

Dignity First

Downsides of Ethanol Ethanol, which makes up 10 percent of the gasoline available at filling stations, together with other biofuels made from crops, appeared to be a way to reduce reliance on fossil fuels. However, recent research shows that the federal government’s push to up production of corn-derived ethanol as a gasoline additive since the U.S. Renewable Fuels Standard was enacted in 2007 has instead expanded our national carbon footprint and contributed to a range of other problems. The nonprofit Environmental Working Group warns that continued production of corn ethanol is both worse for the climate than gasoline and bad for farmers, the land and consumers. “It’s driving up food prices, straining agricultural markets, increasing competition for arable land and promoting conversion of uncultivated land to grow crops,” according to this watchdog organization. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is reportedly weighing a proposal to cut the amount of ethanol currently required by law to be blended into gasoline by 1.39 billion gallons, equivalent to taking 580,000 cars off the roads for a year. Researchers have been trying to develop greener forms of ethanol, but none are ready for market yet. For more information, visit epa.gov/otaq/fuels/renewablefuels.

Most End-of-Life Care in U.S. Neglects Patient Needs The U.S. healthcare system is not properly designed to meet the needs of patients nearing the end of life and those of their families, and major changes to the system are necessary, according to a new report from the Institute of Medicine, Dying in America: Improving Quality and Honoring Individual Preferences Near the End of Life. A 21-member committee has called for more advanced end-of-life care planning by individuals, improved training and credentialing for clinicians, and for governments and private sectors to provide incentives to patients and clinicians to discuss issues, values, preferences and appropriate services and care. Dr. Philip Pizzo, co-chair of the committee, states, “Patients can and should take control of the quality of their life through their entire lifetime, choosing how they live and how they die, and doctors should help initiate discussions with their patients about such decisions.” Susan Heckerman, former dean of medicine at Stanford University, says, “It’s important that healthcare options available to individuals facing the end of life help relieve pain and discomfort, maximize the individual’s ability to function, alleviate depression and anxiety, and ease the burdens of loved ones in a manner consistent with individual preferences and choices.” The report is available at Tinyurl.com/DyingInAmerica.

place in the functioning of every cell, the building blocks of life; healthy cell function produces proper endocrine (hormonal) functioning, influencing homeostasis. This past August, 12 nationally recognized functional medicine experts participated in the country’s first online Metabolic Revolution Summit to discuss the importance of recognizing the dots that connect the majority of today’s chronic diseases—high blood pressure, heart attack, stroke, pre-diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, weight gain, obesity, fatty liver disease, Alzheimer’s, dementia, cancer and even infertility. All of the panelists pointed to the root cause that links them all—the craze for a highcarbohydrate, low-fat diet starting in the 1990s combined with a sedentary lifestyle. When several complex conditions exist simultaneously, medical science refers to them as a syndrome. Regardless of how such intricate interrelationships become manifest, all of these syndromes have early-stage signs that include inflammation, high blood sugar and insulin resistance, which can affect metabolic health.

It’s All About Metabolism Getting to the Root Cause of Disease by Linda Sechrist

ttempts to tender lay explanations of how to attain and maintain better health have become fragmented and compartmentalized, with complex scientific cause-and-effect explanations of disease regularly reduced to isolated infographics and sound bites in the media. But understanding our body’s sophisticated, self-regulating, selfcorrecting and interdependent physiological systems, which work in collaboration with each other and inform us of the body’s status by means of symptoms, deserves a whole-systems frame of reference. Stepping back from immediate concerns to grasp the bigger picture allows for rethinking the Western approach to health. A perspective that connects all the dots works best, beginning with the foundation of wellness—the functioning of 73 trillion cells that are organized into a variety of tissues, including interconnected systems of organs. Optimally, they function together harmoniously to achieve homeostasis, the overall chemical and energetic balance that defines metabolic health.

A Holistic Approach

Doctors that specialize in functional integrative medicine strive to improve the health and well-being of patients by engaging them in their own healing process. One popular approach is practiced by Durango, Colorado, Doctor of Chiropractic James Forleo, author of Health is Simple, Disease is Complicated: A Systems Approach to Vibrant Health. He starts by educating people about the basic functioning of the major body systems involved in their specific health challenges. “To maintain metabolic health, no one should overlook that the body’s intelligence works 24/7 to solve multiple problems simultaneously, including balancing their metabolism. The more complex the pattern of symptoms, the more systems are involved. Whether a single or group of symptoms indicate metabolic dysfunction, it means that numerous systems that rely on healthy cells are unable to perform their normal functions,” explains Forleo. For example, blood sugar issues, excess circulating insulin and buildup of excess glucose stored as fat can lead to metabolic dysfunction. The pancreas, thyroid and gastrointestinal tract—primary glands in the endocrine system that plays a major role in balancing body chemistry by secreting hormones directly into the circulatory system—are negatively impacted.

Pioneering integrative doctors are connecting the dots that point to the root causes of the majority of today’s chronic diseases.

Well-functioning adrenals are necessary to balance blood sugar and one role of the pancreas is to produce insulin. When five of the eight major organ systems—immune, endocrine, cardiovascular, digestive and endocrine—are impacted by metabolic dysfunction, a more holistic and systemic approach to health can provide a broader understanding of how they interrelate, and why preventive measures can preclude having to later pursue ways to reverse serious chronic diseases.

Lifestyle Factors

Functional medicine’s integrative approach to metabolic health is based on proper nutrition and regular exercise. “The inflammatory agents present in much of the food consumed at each meal in the standard American diet—high-glycemic refined carbohydrates, high-fructose corn syrup and other sugars, and hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated fats—are the biggest offenders,” says Forleo, who notes that the body instead needs good fats, such as those obtained from olive and coconut oils. Factors over which we can exercise some control—physical activity, stress, sleep, diet and circadian rhythms—all play roles in metabolic health. Unfortunately, “We are moving further away from our ancestors’ healthier diet and lifestyle. We’re overfed and undernourished because we’re no longer eating for nutrition, but for entertainment,” remarks Doctor of Chiropractic Brian Mowll, the medical director of Sweet Life Diabetes Health Centers in Pennsylvania and Delaware. He characterizes metabolic dysfunction as the ultimate problem because it’s the doorway to many other ailments. “A hundred years ago, infectious diseases plagued humanity. Today and in the future, it’ll be metabolic disorders such as obesity, cancer, metabolic syndrome, thyroid disorders and other endocrine problems, diabetes and Type 2 diabetes,” predicts Mowll.

Metabolic Health Education

Dr. Caroline Cederquist, author of The MD Factor Diet: A Physician’s Proven Diet for Metabolism Correction and Healthy Weight Loss, and founder of Cederquist Medical Wellness Center, in Naples, Florida, conducted a one-year study of patients to identify their health issues via blood work analysis. Eighty-nine percent of the men, women and children showed evidence of insulin resistance. This often-overlooked metabolic condition affects how the body processes glucose, a simple sugar and the body’s primary fuel, making gaining weight easy and losing it difficult. Treated with proper diet, lifestyle changes and supplements, plus medication in advanced stages, Cederquist found that metabolic dysfunction is reversible. She explains that long-term insulin resistance can lead to natural awakenings

January 2015

fatty liver disease, high blood sugar and eventually, diabetes. It also directly affects cholesterol levels and can induce triglycerides, high blood pressure, low HDL (high-density lipoprotein, or “good” cholesterol), increased waist circumference and heart disease. In Cederquist’s young adult patients, metabolic dysfunction was also associated with polycystic ovarian syndrome, a cause of infertility. Germany’s Dr. Wolf Funfack, a specialist in internal and nutritional medicine and creator of a well-regarded metabolic balancing program, noted that insulin resistance both increases the production of stress hormones and blocks production of the anti-inflammatory hormones that slow the aging process. Funfack’s all-natural, personalized nutrition plan, backed by more than 25 years of scientific study, is designed to bring hormonal balance, optimize health and lead to long-term weight management. Cardiologist Stephen Sinatra, author of Metabolic Cardiology, goes a step further. He believes that metabolic dysfunction involving cells, hormones and inflammation encompasses the molecular-based essence of all disease. He observes, “Individuals diagnosed with several conditions can leave a doctor’s office with three or four prescriptions, rather than the one solution for reversal and prevention—a healthy lifestyle and non-inflammatory diet to offset and neutralize weight gain, blood pressure elevation and other abnormalities such as high blood sugar.” Mowll agrees that many conventional healthcare practitioners don’t address the root cause of metabolic disorders or provide lifestyle interventions. “They simply reach for the prescription pad,” he says. This growing problem presents an opportunity to educate the entire populace. Bestselling Virgin Diet author JJ Virgin, who characterizes the human body as a “chemistry lab,” adopts an easy-tofollow nutritional and fitness approach for metabolic health. She recommends eating the types of healthy fats found in wild fish, raw nuts and seeds, coconut, avocado and olives. Virgin prefers the clean, lean protein of grass-fed beef and wild fish, plus low-glycemic lentils and legumes and plenty of low-glycemic fruits like raspberries, blueberries, pears and grapefruits. Low-glycemic vegetables on her list include green peas, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, onion and eggplant. “When you eat this way, there’s a slow release of sugar, and insulin remains at lower levels,” advises Virgin. As in any systems theory, the whole must be understood in relationship to the parts, as well as the relevant environment. Experts agree that it’s paramount to take an expanded, systemic approach to metabolic health, rather than fixating on only one or two aspects at a time. Metabolic health—from basic cells to the most sophisticated of organized systems— can only be achieved and sustained when the whole system is healthy.

How to Talk with a Doctor by Carol L. Roberts

any patients, both men and women, have a heroworshipping attitude toward their physicians and can be intimidated during visits. They may feel it’s impolite to question a doctor, even to get information needed to make critical decisions for one’s self or a loved one. Some doctors seem to have forgotten they are still just people with a medical degree. Patients should remember this if they encounter any perceived aloofness or arrogance. Too often, such an unhelpful attitude may be acquired along with professional experience. Getting ready for a visit to a doctor often entails following instructions, but should also include preparing questions you want answered. If a serious health issue has surfaced, such as an abnormal lab test or a diagnosis that requires treatment, make key questions count: “Where did this come from? Is there anything I can do for myself? What is the recommended treatment? What are the expected effects and unintended side effects of the proposed treatment? Are there alternative forms of treatment? Can I speak to one of your patients that has undergone this treatment?” Then, do online research upon returning home. The Internet has placed the entire library of medicine at our fingertips. Sift out the science from the hype, refine questions and go back for deeper answers. Get a second opinion from another medical doctor or naturopath (some states license them) or doctor of Oriental medicine (acupuncture and herbs). No matter if the proposed treatment is as seemingly simple as a course of antibiotics or as serious as surgery, question it before automatically submitting to a diagnosis and drug prescription. Each of us is the only person on Earth with the unique vantage point of living inside our body. We shouldn’t let anyone label us as depressed if a sick body says otherwise, that “It’s all in your head,” if it’s real, or that there’s no cure. That’s where alternative medicine usually begins and miracles can happen. The best results come from standing up for ourselves. Dr. Carol L. Roberts practices integrative medicine at the Perlmutter Health Center, in Naples, FL (PerlHealth.com). She is a founding diplomate of the American Board of Integrative Holistic Medicine.

There can be no existence of evil as a force to the healthy-minded individual. ~William James

ur body’s hormones work like an orchestra. When one instrument is out of tune, the entire production struggles to maintain harmony. Each plays a part in influencing the others and determining how well the whole concert works. Fortunately, our body has masterful conductors, including the endocrine system, which coordinates all of the glands and the hormones they produce. “Players” include the adrenal, hypothalamus, pancreas, pineal, pituitary, reproductive and thyroid/parathyroid glands. “A healthy endocrine system is essential to making hormones in appropriate amounts throughout our life,” says Theresa Dale, Ph.D., a naturopathic doctor who practices as a traditional naturopath and clinical nutritionist in Oxnard, California, and has authored Revitalizing Your Hormones. “For example, when the ovaries shut down after menopause, the adrenal glands continue producing progesterone and other essential hormones.” Dale, dean and founder of the California College of Natural Medicine, further assures that contrary to assertions from some conventional medicine reports, the body is able to produce necessary hormones throughout our entire life. Hormones function as chemical messengers that commute through the bloodstream as part of the information superhighway that connects the brain to the DNA managers of the body’s cells.

napalmbeach.com 5/29/13 5:23 PM

“Hormones communicate with chemicals produced by the brain called neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine, which greatly influence energy levels, moods and other bodily functions such as moving memories from short- to long-term storage,” explains Dale. For 20 years, she has seen patients with critical hormonal imbalances respond to her recommended three-month, endocrine-rebuilding diet, comprising three daily meals of steamed, sautéed and raw foods, fish, whole grains, legumes, seeds, nuts, fresh fruits and vegetables, plus two raw vegetable or seed snacks. The regimen strives to balance metabolism, cleanse the body, restore immune function and revitalize the endocrine system. Kokomo, Indiana, resident Sylvia Egel, national director of coaching and education for Metabolic Balance, a personalized nutrition plan to balance metabolism and hormones, optimize health and increase energy at any age, agrees that hormones can be restored and balanced via proper food selections. “Our lifestyle and dietary choices strongly affect our metabolism and hormonal health, as do stress levels and sleep patterns. Eating at the wrong time, in the wrong place or in the wrong order, and even

poor combinations of healthy foods, can be almost as problematic as eating junk food,” says Egel. She also warns against snacking, emotional eating, eating on the go, skipping breakfast and waiting too long between meals. Diana Hoppe, author of Healthy Sex Drive, Healthy You, an obstetrician and gynecologist in San Diego, California, who leads clinical trials related to women’s health at the Pacific Coast Research Center, also sees firsthand how what we eat directly affects our hormones. She attests that our bodies need a balance of three macronutrients: carbohydrates, protein and fat. “But for 20 years, we have been advised to decrease fat intake in favor of fat-free options that have been detrimental to us, because we need fat to produce hormones and maintain healthy hormone function. Certain fatty acids and cholesterol serve as building blocks in hormone production and cellular function, especially the reproductive hormones of estrogen and testosterone,” says Hoppe. Food can be medicine for hormones. One of the most important hormonebalancing fats is coconut oil, which heals skin, increases metabolism and supplies a quick source of energy. Egg yolks are a good source of choline and iodine, essential to the production of healthy thyroid hormones, plus are rich in vitamins A, D, E and B-complex vitamins. Avocados have lots of healthy fat that helps absorb and utilize nutrients. Nuts and seeds, olive oil and salmon are all rich in omega-3 essential fatty acids that help stabilize hormone levels. Eating the right foods and incorporating healthy fats into meals increases overall energy, reduces hormonal fluctuations and helps us feel more balanced. Says Dale, “The majority of individuals are surprised to learn that hormone health doesn’t depend on age, but rather on a complex of factors, like the air we breathe, the water we drink, the quality of our diet, good sleep and adequate exercise, plus the relative health of our relationships and emotional life—and that’s just for starters.”

off from the flow of energy in your home and become exhausted,” says the Tustin, California, feng shui expert. “When I ask a client to take half of the stuff off a shelf and then ask how it feels, they almost always take a deep breath. The clutter literally chokes off breath and vitality.”

ENERGY BOOSTERS Four Ways to Recharge by Kathleen Barnes

tress saps energy, and Americans feel stressed more than ever, with 20 percent of us experiencing “extreme stress” at least weekly, according to the American Institute of Stress. Could latenight TV and the ubiquitous presence of electronic devices be the culprits? Partly, according to information published by Harvard Medical School. While all light stimulates the brain, the blue light from electronic devices and some eco-light bulbs disrupt circadian rhythms, prevent production of melatonin and block deep, healthful, restorative sleep. Fortunately, there’s an easy remedy, say Harvard experts: Seek abundant exposure to bright natural sunlight, and then turn off all electronic devices an hour before bedtime. Some experts even suggest wearing orange-colored goggles for the last two waking hours to neutralize the energy-sucking blue rays. Here are a few more energy thieves and ways to neutralize them.

Avoid Energy Vampires Problem: We all know someone that exhausts us, according to Dr. Judith Orloff, Venice Beach, California, author of the new book, The Ecstasy of Surrender. Maybe he or she talks endlessly about personal matters, is incessantly negative, a gossip or a guilt-tripper. 38

Palm Beach Edition

Solution: “Take control. Get in the driver’s seat,” advises Orloff. “Create a circle of positive people around you. Stay calm and centered. Distance yourself from energy vampires and if they’re family, limit time spent with them and establish boundaries.”

Recognize Time Leeches

Problem: We fall into the black hole of Facebook or cute kitten videos. Hours pass and we fall behind in more productive activities and then feel drained and groggy. Solution: Time management is essential to preserving energy, says Orloff. Limit time spent on social media. Check email once or twice a day instead of every 15 minutes. “The Internet is addictive, almost like a drug,” explains Orloff. “When you’re online, your energy is cut off and you become a zombie; you’re not in your body. Take a technology fast. Talk to your mate. Make love. Go for a walk in the woods. See your best friend.”

Get Rid of Clutter

Problem: We all have way too much “stuff,” says Linda Rauch Carter, author of Move Your Stuff, Change Your Life. “If you don’t have room, you shut yourself

napalmbeach.com

Solution: “Clear out what isn’t needed,” counsels Carter. “Keep a balance by making it a habit when bringing new things into a home or work environments to let go of a comparable number of old things at the same time.” Beware of clutter creep, the slow accumulation of energy-sapping clutter, she says. “I believe the lack of energy so many of us experience is a nearly undetectable, chronic energy drain that seems slight, yet over time becomes a big problem.”

Stop Electromagnetic Pollution Problem: We are all surrounded by energy-draining electromagnetic fields (EMF) from myriad electronic devices and systems in homes and offices, plus cell phone towers and transmission lines. All of these operate on frequencies that can be major energy drains, says Carter. Japanese research physician Ryoichi Ogawa found that 80 percent of his chronic fatigue patients were frequent users of electromagnetic technologies (OmegaNews). Solution: Minimize indoor exposure to EMFs by using land lines with corded phones, power strips and shutting off electricity to nonessential appliances when not in use. “I’ve been preaching this for 20 years,” says Carter. Protecting sleep space is a primary consideration. “Make sure no beds are near electrical outlets and cell phones. Get rid of cordless phones, which are like mini cell towers, right there in the house,” she adds. The easiest solution, Carter says, is to put bare feet on bare earth for 15 to 20 minutes a day. “It will pull some of that excess EMF charge right off of you.” Kathleen Barnes is the author of numerous natural health books and publisher at Take Charge Books.

ECO-FRIENDLY

FLOORS Sustainable Beauty Underfoot by Avery Mack

ruly good flooring is beautiful, practical and eco-friendly. The best choices may change from room-toroom, as well as with geography, depending on family needs. Here are some key factors to consider for an optimum installation.

Wood comes in many colors, polished to a high gloss or textured, and can be refinished when styles change. “Timber used to float downriver to the sawmill and not all of it arrived. We salvage logs from the bottom of the Penobscot River for flooring and other products,” says Tom Shafer, co-owner of Maine Heritage Timber, in Millinocket. “Our wood is as fresh as the day it was cut decades ago.” Cold water preserves the resource and adds a natural patina. Removal of the estimated 700,000 cords of underwater wood will help restore the waterway’s natural eco-system. Note: Wood can scratch or dent and be susceptible to water damage. Even recycled wood might not be eco-friendly. “Wood reclaimed from manufacturing plants can contain machine oils, harsh chemical residue, lead paint or asbestos,” explains Shafer. “Know where it came from; follow the chain of evidence.”

napalmbeach.com

High Traffic, Pets, Long Life–Linoleum

Linoleum is made from linseed oil, wood powder, resins and ground limestone. Mineral pigments provide rich color throughout, which prevents paler worn spots. A personalized pattern may include borders using linoleum sheets or tiles. It’s long-lasting, durable, fire-resistant, biodegradable, has no harmful volatile organic compounds (VOC) and repels dirt and dust. Note: Vinyl, made from unnatural chlorinated petrochemicals, won’t wear as well or last as long as linoleum.

Long-Lasting–Tile

Bottles recycled into glass tile reflect light, brightening smaller rooms like the bath. Long-lasting ceramic or porcelain tile has no VOCs, is easy to clean and won’t host germs, bacteria or dust mites. Note: Look for lead-free glazed tile. Glass tile may be cost-prohibitive for larger spaces. Most tile can be slick when wet; texturing increases safety.

Child-, Pet- and Elder-Friendly, Warm and Comfy–Cork Cork is lightweight, flexible and can mimic stone, granite, tile, marble and wood,

while providing comfortable cushioning. “Cork assumes the ambient temperature in the room, keeping feet warmer. It holds up to dogs, too,” says Tim Tompkins, a Portuguese Cork Association committee member in Greenville, South Carolina. “Cork is both healthy for the consumer and sustainable for the environment.” Note: Due to its cushioning nature, heavy furniture or high-heeled shoes may make indentations.

Wood-Like and Sturdy–Bamboo

Bamboo generally regrows in three to five years, is twice as hard as red oak and can be stained almost any color. Edge-grained bamboo, banded together, turns flooring into a statement. Note: “It’s shipped from Asia and may have formaldehyde glues and durability problems, so shop carefully,” advises David Bergman, a New York City green architect and author of Sustainable Design: A Critical Guide.

Long-Wearing Classic Look–Stone Travertine, limestone, granite, slate and marble are all stone flooring options. Stone can increase home value, has a classic look and is a piece of history that adds to any décor, although it’s not a renewable resource. Cork or non-petroleum-based laminated floors can give the look of stone without destroying an in-situ natural resource.

Note: Large blocks of stone are cut at quarries and transported to processing plants, cut into slabs and transported to a processor to be cut again, shaped and polished before being shipped to the store—a big carbon footprint.

The Great Imitator–Concrete Easy-to-clean, durable concrete never needs to be replaced. Small repairs can be patched. Large repairs, such as a broken pipe beneath the surface, may require refinishing the entire floor to match the stain color. Some homeowners have created a faux rug using other stain colors to disguise the repaired area. Finishes can make concrete look like hardwood, painted tile, carpet, marble or granite, including terrazzo options. For an entryway, homeowners can design a custom welcome mat, perhaps incorporating a family crest, monogram or motto. Finishes can be textured to varying degrees to increase foot traction. Note: Ensure the structure is sturdy enough to bear the extra weight of concrete. It feels cold underfoot in winter and cool in summer. Epoxy coatings don’t let concrete breathe, so any moisture emanating from the concrete slab will be trapped. Test for the moisture-vapor emission rate; problem areas can include sections covered by furniture. Avery Mack is a freelance writer in St. Louis, MO. Connect via AveryMack@ mindspring.com.

FUN FLOOR FACTS n Mixed and matched floors create a planned flow in an open-concept house. Find fun ideas at Tinyurl.com/FlooringTransits. n Most carpet is chemical-laden and not so health- or eco-friendly, although there are some exceptions. n Sustainably produced handwoven wool rugs backed with jute are susceptible to the jute retaining spills and pet odors; its yellow-tan pigment also can color rug fibers. Jute eventually disintegrates, leaving clumps of unsecured wool fibers. n In Portugal, bark is hand carved off the tree as cork, which is healthy for the tree. Trees are grown on protected land that also benefits insects and birds. NASA, Mercedes and BMW sometimes find cork a lightweight, durable replacement for steel. The Library of Congress has relied on its original cork flooring for 75 years. n Kinetic energy from people dancing or walking on special flooring can light up the area and send energy back to the grid (see Joycott.com/energy-floors).

Keep Kids Engaged in Healthy Living by Julianne Hale

n today’s technology-fueled society, kids spend many hours of their free time staring at smartphones or tablets instead of exploring nature, riding bikes or playing outdoor games with their friends. Rather than just imposing radical reductions in screen time, parents and caregivers can meet youngsters halfway by adding apps to their handheld devices that provide tips on healthy eating, exercise and behavior. Here are five that are fun for kids and promote healthy lifestyle choices. Super Stretch Yoga HD. Super Stretch is the primary character in this yoga adventure in which players are encouraged to, “Create a peaceful, balanced life by living a NAMASTE mission: Nothing is impossible; Always be honest; Make the world a better place; Act with kindness; Share with others; Trust and believe in yourself; and Enjoy and have fun.” Creator and founder Jessica Rosenberg, of Minneapolis, Minnesota, explains, “I translated a curriculum that I’ve been using for kids into an ‘edutainment’ app that combines gaming and real-life kids as characters that bring yoga to life.” Players

napalmbeach.com

are challenged to master the skills presented by each of the game’s 12 main characters, increasing awareness of breathing and other aspects of how the body works, plus promoting self-esteem. Free in the iTunes App Store. If, the Emotional IQ Game. An adventure game inspired by If, a well-known poem by Rudyard Kipling, players go on a quest through Ziggurat, a fantasy world where they enlist energy creatures called Vims to rid their avatars of dark energy. Youngsters are challenged to complete missions using emotional language. The character traits required to complete the tasks include patience, teamwork and other skills that help kids build emotional intelligence. Free in the iTunes App Store. Smash Your Food. Nutritionist Marta De Wulf, from Bellevue, Washington, felt compelled to develop her innovative app when she realized that while kids understand that certain foods contain too much sugar, fat or carbs, they have no idea how the information pertains to them.

The award-winning app “allows children to input their age, gender and level of physical activity to measure their individual caloric need,” says De Wulf. “When they choose a food to ‘smash’ and see that eight grams of sugar cubes are in a can of soda, they’re able to process healthy food information.” Smash Your Food features audio/video of actual food smashing. “Kids are sensorial and different kinds of learners. It’s more effective than using cartoon images,” she observes. It’s $2.99 in the iTunes App Store. Oh, Ranger! Park Finder. Instead of vaguely suggesting that kids put down their electronic devices and head outdoors, why not ask them to choose an adventure for the whole family? Using the Oh, Ranger! Park Finder app, kids can search for nearby outdoor recreation areas from a comprehensive database of national parks, state parks, national forests, wildlife refuges, Bureau of Land Management sites and U.S. Army Corps recreation areas. Kids can further seek out specific activities from 20-plus categories that range from birdwatching and hiking to boating and camping. Free in the iTunes App Store or Google Play. Kids Making Healthy Choices. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control reports that rates of childhood obesity have doubled in the past 30 years. This kid- and parent-friendly app is designed to help. It springboards from San Diego, California’s Merilee Kern’s children’s book of the same title. Embedded via an e-reader, kids can play games, print coloring sheets and explore healthy recipes while parents check out the news section and resource page for links with information for keeping youngsters healthy. “Surveys show that parents often don’t realize that their child has a weight problem,” notes Kern. “It’s important to discuss this topic within the family, and the app helps facilitate this in a non-threatening, helpful way.” It’s $2.99 in the iTunes App Store.

Louise Hay on Loving Yourself to Ageless Health by S. Alison Chabonais

renowned leader of the self-help movement from its early days, Louise Hay is celebrated worldwide for teaching—by personal example and through her bestselling book, You Can Heal Your Life—how each of us can transform our mind, body and spirit by changing the way we think. Her positive philosophy has sparked an industry and her Hay House publishing group. Nourishing mind and body, loving life, learning and growing, giving back and moving ahead—these comprise Hay’s program for creating health, happiness and longevity. At 88, she continues to travel for business and pleasure, embracing vital, joy-filled days with a thankful smile. Her new book, Loving Yourself to Great Health, co-authored with Ahlea Khadro and Heather Dane, explains how she’s taking all she knows to the next level.

Why does first applying love and forgiveness to yourself make a happy, healthy and long life possible?

is only one answer: loving yourself. Start with small steps and be gentle. If you start there, magical things will happen.

How do you manage to engage in a stream of loving affirmations 24/7? Practice, practice, practice! Slowly, bitby-bit, start each day with a loving act towards yourself. Loving affirmations and worrying about things take up the same amount of time; you still get the same things done along the way, but worrying creates stress, while affirmations will brighten your life. It can be exhausting if you fight the shift and make it difficult. If you make kindness to yourself and others a simple part of everyday life, it isn’t exhausting at all.

What are some key elements to crafting a life experience that supports and nourishes ageless being?

Loving yourself is the foundation for living the life you want. A healthy and happy life is rooted in self-love, and forgiveness is an act of self-love. It all comes down to how you think and treat yourself. What we give out we get back, so it all starts with us. Remember, no matter what the problem is, there 44

Palm Beach Edition

Choose thoughts that bring love into your life and laugh a lot. Say yes to life and the magic it brings. I trust that life will bring me exactly what I need, and part of that is realizing that I don’t need to know everything, because life brings me people like Ahlea and Heather. A third of our life is spent eating, and it’s essential that we know the best way to do this. Start your day with water and an act of self-

love. Eat real food; seasonal, organic, natural foods are a positive affirmation to your body. Poop every day, figuratively and literally. Learn to listen to your body and its wisdom. Choose exercise that you love and that makes you feel good. Also, go on a media diet. Filter out from your consciousness any messages that say you are not good enough or that separate you from the beautiful and lovable person you are. Surround yourself with like-minded people that share good news and love to laugh.

The core belief founding your lifework is that every thought we have is creating our future. Is scientific research now supporting that? When I began teaching people about affirmations, there wasn’t any science to support it, but we knew it worked, and now studies verify that. I particularly love Bruce Lipton’s scientific research showing that we are not controlled by our genes because the genetic blueprint can be altered through positive changes in our beliefs. I hear reports every day of how people are healing their lives by changing their thoughts through cultivating selflove and personal affirmations. They are seeing healing of autoimmune diseases, obesity, addictions, post-traumatic stress and many other so-called incurable illnesses. It’s amazing what happens when you are kind and loving to yourself.

What is your secret to aging gracefully through the years? It’s simple. It’s about getting your thoughts and food right and having fun along the way. If you are thinking positive thoughts but feeding yourself processed, unnatural or sugary foods, you are sending yourself mixed messages. Feed yourself nourishing foods and think loving thoughts. Any time you don’t know what else to do, focus on love. Loving yourself makes you feel good, and good health comes from feeling good. S. Alison Chabonais is the national content editor for Natural Awakenings magazines.

Interval Training Knocks Down Blood Sugar Exercise Bursts are Fast and Effective by Lisa Marlene

abels may vary, but results are what count. Whether called high-intensity intermittent exercise (HIIE), interval or burst-style training, recent research proves that this form of exercise improves insulin levels. This is promising news for the estimated 50 million American adults that have abdominal obesity and are on the path toward metabolic dysfunction due to a high-sugar diet that causes spikes and crashes in blood sugar levels and eventually contributes to insulin resistance. According to a recent study published in the Journal of Obesity, the benefits of doing HIIE at least three times a week for two to six weeks include reduction of abdominal body fat, improved aerobic and anaerobic fitness and lower levels of insulin resistance. In a separate study, Norwegian researchers examined the impact that different types of exercise programs had on individuals seeking to reverse metabolic dysfunction, an overall chemical imbalance largely attributed to insulin resistance. They concluded that despite

napalmbeach.com

producing similar effects on body weight and blood pressure, the aerobic interval training group also showed greater improvement in insulin sensitivity, aerobic capacity and high-density lipoprotein (HDL, or “good” cholesterol) than those performing continuous moderate exercise. They also exhibited lower blood glucose (sugar) levels. Another beneficial HIIE characteristic is that it involves markedly fewer exercise repetitions and less training time. JJ Virgin, a fitness and nutrition expert and author of The Virgin Diet, recommends incorporating burst-style and resistance training for fast, lasting fat loss and improving insulin resistance. Best of all, you can do these exercises in minutes a day. “Burst exercise means working out in short intense bursts of 30 to 60 seconds, coupled with one to two minutes of active recovery time, moving at a lower intensity that allows you to catch your breath and lower your heart rate,” she explains. Two easy examples of this are sprinting to burst and then walking to recover,

and running up stairs to burst, and then walking down them to recover. “This should be repeated for a total of four to eight minutes of high-intensity bursts per session. Overall, this will take 20 to 30 minutes,” says Virgin. She notes that the increase in stress hormones that occurs during HIIE are counteracted by the simultaneously raised

levels of anabolic-building hormones. “Short bursts train the body in how to handle stress and recover. Repeated intense bursts raise the lactic acid level, which in turn raises growth hormone production and supports fat burning. The research is clear that the more intense the exercise, the bigger the metabolic benefit is afterward.”

The Skinny on Glycemic Foods by Kathleen Barnes

hose wanting to reduce carbohydrate intake by eating foods with a low glycemic index based on their impact on blood sugar levels might consider using newer tables that instead measure glycemic load, suggests New York City Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist Susan Weiner. She explains that the glycemic index only considers how quickly sugars from food are released into the bloodstream. The glycemic load charts a more accurate accounting of the amount of carbohydrates in an actual serving, rather than the 50-gram (1.76-ounce) portion used in calculating a food’s ranking on the glycemic index scale of 1 to 100. “Glycemic load is a better indicator of how a carbohydrate food will affect blood sugar in realistic portions, especially in combination with other foods, including proteins and fats,” advises Weiner.

New Year, New You When ‘Good Enough’ Is Perfect

by Elizabeth Lombardo

oes it sometimes feel like if we can’t do something perfectly, why should we bother doing it at all? Perfectionism feeds on such an all-ornothing approach in following rigid selfimposed rules that can sabotage relationships, health and happiness. Instead, try adopting a “better than perfect” mindset that embraces life’s imperfections without guilt or shame. A clean enough house or a good enough job is in many ways better than perfect. Here are helpful approaches to reframe the internal discussion. Remember what matters. In planning a big birthday party for her husband, one wife was so stressed trying to manage every detail that she had to stop and ask herself: What is most important—having everything look perfect, or having a fun party they would enjoy and remember for the rest of their lives? Thinking about our values keeps things in perspective and perfectionism in check. Perfection isn’t likable. We often try to be perfect to gain other people’s attention and approval, but no one wants to be around a person trying to be someone they aren’t. No one’s life is perfect. Social media often present idealized versions of people’s lives. Few post about fighting with their partner or coping with an unhappy infant; we most often hear about vacation adven-

tures and baby’s first word or step. We can avoid feelings of dissatisfaction by avoiding comparisons with others. It’s not failure, it’s data. Rather than personalize a perceived failure, take it on as an opportunity. If a New Year’s resolution to work out more isn’t kept, ask why: Is the exercise location too far away or is the class schedule inconvenient? It feels better to adopt a more successful strategy than to beat ourself up about falling short. Perfectionism is a treadmill. People often think, “I’ll be happy when I weigh this or achieve that,” always seeking the next level of self-improvement. Appreciating who we are right now is a path to happiness. Perfectionism is a learned behavior, and anything learned can be unlearned at any age. As we continue to strive for excellence, we can learn to embrace what’s good. Take a perfectionist self-assessment quiz at Tinyurl.com/PerfectionismQuiz.

n oriental philosophy and medicine, the heart is the Emperor or Supreme Controller of the body and mind. The body and mind are seen as one continuum. So, like an emperor, the heart controls and coordinates and commands, thru the medium of our blood, but also depends on all the others around it, like a symphony in unity. The heart is, of course, a very efficient four-chambered pump as well as an endocrine organ which makes and sends out hormones to signal and affect the rest of the body. It starts beating around the third week of embryonic life and continues non-stop until the end of our lifetime. The heart beats faster when we are young and slows with age. For instance, an infant’s heart rate ranges from about 100-150 beats per minute, while an adult averages between 60-100 per minute. There are many conditions, illnesses and injuries which affect the heart, causing it to beat too slow or too fast or irregularly. It pumps gallons of blood thru miles of arteries and veins thousands of times per day. It’s a marvelous creation, and with all our advanced science and medicine, we still can’t replicate and replace it mechanically very well. The billions of dollars spent every year on heart medicines, with all the lives saved and extended, still cannot do what a normal, healthy heart can do. Put your hand over your heart for a moment and feel its pulsations and energy. Think of the electrical energy it generates and how we can actually record, read and interpret it on the electrocardiogram. Appreciate its constant work and all that it has done for you, serving you faithfully in spite of the use and abuse it gets over a lifetime. For the heart, like every part of our body, is affected by what we put into our body, such as our diet and the myriads of other things we inhale, absorb and ingest. Over time, we will talk about diets and various aspects of heart health in this column. In oriental philosophy, as well as in many others throughout time and in different countries, the heart is seen as the home of “shen”, which is approximately translated as spirit or consciousness. Love, life and joy are expressions of our consciousness, and the heart is often seen as the center of these. The heart emperor thus rules its kingdom with these qualities. From the energy perspectives, the heart is seen as the fourth of seven major energy centers or chakras in the body, each with its own shape, colors and sound vibrations. In the Kabbalah, the heart is called Tifereth or Beauty, the sixth of the ten Sefiroth or centers on the Tree of Life. In oriental philosophy, all of creation is made from five basic elements in various amounts and combinations. These five elements

Palm Beach Edition

napalmbeach.com

are wood, fire, earth, metal and water. All the organs in our body have a predominant element, and to carry the image even further, so do our personality and behavior patterns. The heart’s predominant element is fire, and one can easily see that the heart’s “fire” is the source and expression of its warmth and unconditional love. When one’s shen or spirit is strong, it shows in one’s vitality, one’s complexion, color, mood and in the sparkle in one’s eyes. We even say things like, “He is strong-spirited”, or “She is big-hearted”, and so on. And the opposite is true, too. When the heart is weak or ill, then physically and emotionally we manifest palpitations, blood pressure changes, anxiety, depression, etc. Lots of interesting research and books have been written to corroborate and link the two-way street between heart health and emotional health. The quality of our emotional health reflects, influences and is influenced by our physical health. It’s often a simple truth that when we feel well we act well, and when we feel bad we act badly. Everyone knows what love feels like. Every day we express our love in countless different ways to ourselves, our family, friends, coworkers, pets, the earth, God, and on and on. Zillions of poems, prayers, songs, stories, films, paintings, sculptures and creations of every kind have tried to express that special something called love. It gives every one and every thing reason for living. In fact, scriptures, or sacred expressions in every language equate love, our soul and God as one and the same. In a word, love, heart health, physical, emotional and spiritual health all depend on one another. Cultivating and nurturing them all together is a formula for deep and lasting happiness. Included here are a few words from various times acknowledging the importance of all-around health and love:

“Illness is basically a problem of loving and being loved.” Empedocles “The most fundamental principle of medicine is love.” Paracelcus “Where there is love of humanity, there is love of the art of healing.” Hippocrates “Let your best means of treating people be your love for them.” Hippocrates

LITTLE SOUL AND THE SUN by Neale Donald Walsch

he Little Soul and the Sun is a children’s parable adapted from the Conversations with God series by Neale Donald Walsch. Even though it is a children’s parable it has a message that people of all ages can find helpful. It is a story of forgiveness. It tells the story of a young soul in heaven deciding that it wants to experience what it means to be forgiving. So he goes to God and asks to have this experience. Unfortunately, there is a problem. In heaven, God explains, there is no one to forgive. To truly have that experience you need someone else to volunteer to enter into your human life and play the role of someone needing to be forgiven. And this, as the story so beautifully illustrates, requires an act of great love on the part of the volunteer. This is an extraordinary book that has the power to shift one’s perception about the things we feel have been done to us by others.

Over the years of owning Changing Times I have sat in on many, many workshops where this book was read aloud to the participants. It is wonderfully illustrated and easy to read. It has been one of our best selling books. I think it has been given to as many, if not more, adults as children as gifts. It is so very helpful when one is stuck in the heavy energy of non-forgiveness. Here is a partial excerpt of the conversation between the Little Soul and the volunteer, known as Friendly Soul:

Palm Beach Edition

“Don’t be so amazed,” said the friendly Soul, ‘you have done the same for me. Oh, we have danced together, you and I, many times. Through the eons and across all the ages have we danced. “We have both been All Of It. We have been the Up and Down of it, the Left and Right of it. We have been the male and the female, the good and the bad – we have both been the victim and the villain of it.

“But why? Why would you do that?” the Little Soul asked. “You, who are a being of such utter perfection! You, who vibrate with such a speed that it creates a Light so bright that I can hardly gaze upon you! What could cause you to want to slow down your vibration to such a speed that your Light would become dark and dense? What would cause you to come into my life and make yourself so heavy that you could do this bad thing?”

“Thus we have come together, you and I, many times before; each bringing to the other the exact and perfect opportunity to Express and to Experience Who We Really Are.”

“Simple,” the Friendly Soul said, “I would

do it because I love you.”

This book offers a soul-healing perspective of things different from what the egoic mind would tell you. God states, “Always remember, I have sent you nothing but angels.”

COMMUNICATIONS COACHING LYNN KOMLENIC

Communication Coach / Life Coach Individuals ∙ Couples ∙ Groups 561.714.9553 www.palmbeachlifecoach.com Relationships can be very challenging. On top of it, most of us have not been taught how to understand and communicate with others, especially on difficult issues. Practicing the Compassionate Communication 4-Step Process will not only help you avoid pitfall relationship behaviors—such as judging, demanding, blaming, labeling, diagnosing, and thinking and speaking in terms of right and wrong—it will give you more confidence to speak your truth while inspiring greater love and compassion from others. Based on psychologist Marshall B. Rosenberg’s Nonviolent Communication (NVC, www.cnvc.org), Compassionate Communication is proven to facilitate improved connection with oneself and others, to reduce or alleviate emotional pain, and to support a focus on creating life-enhancing outcomes.
