ave you ever asked yourself why, no matter how hard you try, certain things in your life don’t change? Maybe it’s a career change, financial concerns, moving to a new location, phobias, addictions, health challenges, relationship issues, not knowing what your purpose is, etc. It could be anything. The answer to this is because only five percent of our daily life is run by our conscious mind. This means our subconscious is running the show and we aren’t even conscious of it. So how and why does this happen? Up until the age of seven, we are still in a type of hypnotic state, which means we are being programmed by what our parents and society teach us. Understanding the depth of this helps to understand who we really are as a result of all the programs, beliefs and emotions. These factors then determine what we create in our inner and outer world. Hypnosis is a great way to gain a better understanding and awareness of why certain patterns keep recurring in your life, both negative and positive. Once you understand why negative events are happening to you, you can stop sabotaging yourself and healing can occur. Jill Avery, of Quantum Healing Discoveries, brings together yoga, hypnosis and Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique offering the very best methods to change negative influences and help you to heal your life. For more information and appointments, call 561-305-3236, email Info QuantumHealingDiscoveries.com or visit QuantumHealingDiscoveries.com.

Step Into A Rewarding Career—Feet First!

magine having a career you love—that allows you to help others heal naturally and experience healing yourself in the process. Imagine work that’s joyful and energizing for you, relaxing, nurturing and pleasurable for your clients. As a Holistic Reflexologist I love what I do every single day! Discover how you can have a career that is life-affirming, benefits others and enhances your earning potential. What is Holistic Reflexology? Reflexology is the art of applying firm, gentle thumb or finger pressure to “reflex points” on the feet, hands, face and ears to affect each organ, gland and part of the body. Holistic Reflexology incorporates a unique blend of aromatherapy, visualization, positive thinking and life coaching techniques into your reflexology practice, helping both practitioner and recipient remember their true essence and amazing potential. What Are the Benefits of Reflexology? Studies show reflexology reduces stress, improves circulation, assists in eliminating toxins, strengthens the immune system and enhances focus. Clients report relief from headaches, back pain, digestive conditions, allergies, fatigue, menopause and much more. Reflexology can also aid with infertility, weight management and releasing addictions. One of my favorite applications of reflexology is assisting mothers(-to-be) with wellness during and after pregnancy and childbirth! Because reflexology is done with the client fully clothed, it is less “invasive” than massage so more are open to the experience. The deep relaxation that accompanies sessions provides a wonderful opportunity to use positive visualizations and affirmations that support clients to heal their bodies and transform their lives. Reflexology even energizes the practitioner! Working with the client’s pressure points opens an energy circuit between reflexologist and client where both benefit. How Do I Become a Holistic Reflexologist? We offer many training options, from introductory classes through Professional Certification Programs in Foot, Hand Face and Ear Reflexology. Our training is “hands-on.” Take one of our weekend courses and experience our supportive, nurturing learning environ-

ment. Leave with knowledge and skills you can use immediately. And, as students practice on one another, they experience health benefits themselves. Classmates often become lifelong friends. Compassionate people from all walks of life study reflexology. Some want to help their family and friends; others seek a new career. Estheticians, massage therapists, physical therapists, nurses, midwives and other clinicians seek out our training to enhance their current practice while earning continuing education credits. “What a gift! After practicing massage for almost twenty years, I got certified in Laura Norman Holistic Reflexology. It’s so much easier on my body, I can handle more clients in a day. And, giving reflexology sessions is healing for me as well.” - Jim Davis, LMT Considered by the World Health Organization as the leading alternative therapy in the 21st

century, reflexology’s popularity is booming. Now is the time to step into a rewarding new career. A magical gift of peace, wholeness and connectedness blesses those who devote themselves to healing others. Enhance your income, experience a sense of purpose and fulfillment, and magnify your joy—feet first! Laura Norman, M.S., LMT, world-renowned Holistic Reflexologist and author of the best-selling book, Feet First: A Guide to Foot Reflexology, offers private Holistic Reflexology and Inspired Life Coaching sessions in Delray Beach and Holistic Reflexology Certification Training Programs in Boynton Beach starting March 6th and 21st (see our ad for complete class schedule).

Lecture "Snail Kites and Grasshopper Sparrows" Lecture with Dr. Paul Gray, Okeechobee Science Coordinator, Audubon Florida Tuesday, March 3, 2020 7pm â&#x20AC;&#x201C; 8:45pm Origin Church, 6073 Summit Blvd, Haverhill, FL 33415

extinction. In May 2019, three sparrows, hatched and raised in captivity, were released into the wild. Dr. Gray is an original member of the Florida Grasshopper Sparrow working group that oversees all research and conservation activities involving the subspecies.

he Florida Snail Kite and Florida Grasshopper Sparrow, two endangered species found nowhere in the United States but Florida, will be the subject of the Audubon Everglades Speaker Program on Tuesday, March 3, 2020.Â Dr. Paul Gray will provide the attendees the very latest information on the status and conservation needs of these birds. Â Florida Snail Kites were once found from the Everglades to southeast of Tallahassee, but wetland drainage and land development eliminated or altered much of the birdsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; foraging habitat.Â The Snail Kite feeds almost exclusively on apple snails found in shallow freshwater wetlands, and prolonged droughts and habitat loss affect the availability of the snails. Â The Florida Grasshopper Sparrow is a non-migratory subspecies with a range limited to the dry prairie region of south-central Florida. Over 80 percent of the birdâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s habitat has been lost in recent decades, and much of the remaining prairie has been degraded by fire suppression and encroachment by trees and shrubs.Â A captive breeding program was created in 2015 in an attempt to save the species from imminent

Paul Gray is based out of Lorida, FL, near the Kissimmee River and has been working in Florida for 28 years, the last 20 for Audubon Florida.Â For Audubon, Paul has managed the 7,300-acre Kissimmee Prairie Sanctuary, supervises the Lake Okeechobee Sanctuaries established in 1938, and works on water, land and bird management issues with public and private entities.Â Paulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s educational background includes a BS from the University of Missouri, an MS from Texas Tech University, and a Ph.D. from the University of Florida. Â Audubon Everglades monthly speaker programs are free and open to the public. Doors open at 6:30PM. Audubon Everglades, a not for profit organization, serves the communities of Palm Beach County with activities and programs to educate and inspire people to conserve birds, wildlife, and the environment that supports them. Audubon Everglades, a chapter of Florida Audubon and the National Audubon Society, is supported by its chapter members and donors.Â Education and conservation are at the forefront of our mission, and Audubon Everglades field trips and monthly member programs are free and open to all.Â Â Learn more at auduboneverglades.org Â

Oral Health and Heart Health

racticing good oral hygiene by brushing, flossing and seeing a dentist regularly for cleanings can protect the health of our gums. Since the body and mouth are not separate, taking good care of our teeth and gums can affect our overall health and may help us to live longer. There is scientific research that supports a potential link between dental health and heart health. Therefore, the simple daily habits of brushing and flossing may be more important than we think. The Connection Between Gum Disease and Heart Disease Bacteria. Plaque is a sticky film that contains bacteria and builds up on teeth. The bacteria in this plaque can cause decay and gum disease if it is not removed regularly through brushing, flossing and dental cleanings. Inflammation. Gum disease is a serious driver of inflammation. Inflammation is a protective mechanism and indicates that the body is fighting something harmful and trying to defend itself. It is possible that inflammation in the gums triggers a cascade that can lead to inflammation in the cardiovascular system and plaque formation. High Blood Pressure. New research in the American Heart Association’s journal ‘Hypertension’ accentuates the importance of good oral health in blood pressure control. The study findings showed that people with high blood pressure that have healthier gums responded better to bloodpressure lowering medications and had lower blood pressure than those who had gum disease. Over time, uncontrolled high blood pressure can lead to heart disease or stroke. Tips to Improve Oral Health and Heart Health Stop Smoking. Not smoking is one of the most important things you can do for your mouth and your body. Smokers have a much higher risk

Increased stress also leads to elevated cortisol which increases blood pressure, makes us insulin resistant leading to diabetes, increases inflammation in our body and increases cholesterol. Eat a Balanced Diet. A healthy diet helps to fight infection by boosting the immune system. Eating foods high in antioxidants can help our bodies repair damaged tissues. A plant based whole foods diet is key. Eating a rainbow of colors is important. It is important to reduce processed foods in our diet and take time to mindfully eat and enjoy our food. Exercise. Being physically active is one of the best ways to strengthen the heart muscle, maintain a healthy weight and protect our arteries from damage. Aim for a minimum of 150 minutes per week with a combination of aerobic exercise, strength training and stretching. Find activities that you enjoy. Sleep. Lack of sleep may weaken our immune system and our body’s ability to deal with inflammation or infection. Lack of sleep can also lead to elevated blood pressure and blood sugars which are risk factors for vascular disease. Practice good sleep hygiene and relaxation techniques and aim for seven to nine hours each night. Practice Good Oral Care. Be sure to brush and floss twice a day and make an appointment with your dentist for advice regarding your personal care and recommended schedule of visits. Taking good care of your oral health can be a part of your heart-healthy routine.

It’s long been known that vigorous, sweaty aerobics strengthen the brain and help grow new neurons, but the latest research from the University of Illinois at UrbanaChampaign shows that practicing gentle hatha yoga enhances many of those same brain structures and functions. The analysis, published in Brain Plasticity, examined 11 studies that used brain-imaging techniques to evaluate outcomes of hatha yoga, which involves body movements, meditation and breathing exercises. The researchers concluded that the hippocampus, which is involved in memory processing and typically shrinks with age, increased in volume with yoga. The amygdala, which helps regulate emotions, tends to be larger in yoga practitioners. Other brain regions that are larger or more efficient in enthusiasts are the prefrontal cortex, essential to planning and decisionmaking; the default mode network, involved in planning and memory; and the cingulate cortex, which plays a key role in emotional regulation, learning and memory. 20

Catch Some Rays to Boost Gut Health Fresh evidence is emerging of a skingut axis that links type B ultraviolet (UVB) exposure to the microbiome, a finding that has implications for those suffering from autoimmune and inflammatory diseases. University of British Columbia researchers divided 21 healthy young women into two groups: Nine took vitamin D supplements during Vancouver’s long, dark winter, and 12 didn’t. After three months, only the non-supplement-takers tested as being deficient in vitamin D. Both groups were exposed to three, one-minute, full-body UVB light sessions; within a week, vitamin D levels increased 10 percent on average and the gut microbiota diversity of the low-D group rose to match that of the sufficient-D group. Along with other probiotic bacteria, Lachnospiraceae species, typically low in the guts of people with inflammatory diseases, increased with the UVB exposure.

Researchers from Beijing Geriatric Hospital, in a meta-analysis of 12 studies involving 47,523 patients with cardiovascular disease, found that those that supplemented with folic acid (vitamin B9) reduced their risk of stroke by 15 percent. Folic acid, which the study authors called a “safe and inexpensive therapy,” lowers levels of homocysteine, an amino acid linked to heart disease; research indicates that 0.5 to 5 milligrams daily can reduce homocysteine levels by approximately 25 percent.

Drinking either not enough or too much water can decrease cognitive performance in older women, Penn State University researchers reported in the European Journal of Nutrition. In a nationwide study, 1,271 women and 1,235 men over age 60 gave blood samples, answered questionnaires about the previous day’s food and drinks, and performed cognitive tests to measure working memory, brain processing speed and sustained attention. Women, but not men, performed more poorly if they were not in the “sweet spot” of just enough hydration, typically around two liters a day. “As we age, our water reserves decline due to reductions in muscle mass, our kidneys become less effective at retaining water and hormonal signals that trigger thirst and motivate water intake become blunted,” explains lead author Hilary Bethancourt, in urging greater attention to hydration levels.

Cut Back on Sugar and Carbs to Improve Sleep Women that toss and turn at night might sleep better if they pass up sugary treats for fruit, suggests a new study from Columbia University. Examining records of nearly 50,000 postmenopausal women in the Women’s Health Initiative, researchers found those that consumed a diet high in refined carbohydrates—particularly added sugars and processed grains—were more likely to develop insomnia. Women with a diet that included higher amounts of vegetables, fiber and whole fruit (not juice) were less likely to have trouble sleeping. “When blood sugar is raised quickly, your body reacts by releasing insulin, and the resulting drop in blood sugar can lead to the release of hormones such as adrenaline and cortisol, which can interfere with sleep,” explains senior author James Gangwisch, Ph.D.

Try Vitamins and Garlic to Lower Gastric Cancer Risk In a rural region of China where gastric cancer is common, researchers found in a two-decade study that two approaches—antibiotics and vitamin/mineral supplements— protected against it. Both methods, as well as a garlic supplement, significantly reduced death rates from the cancer. Peking University Cancer Hospital and Institute researchers enrolled 3,365 residents ages 35 to 64 from 13 villages with symptoms of H. pylori, a gut bacteria linked to increased risk of ulcers and cancer. Two weeks of conventional antibiotics treatment reduced the risk of gastric cancer over a 22-year period, and twice-daily supplements of 250 milligrams (mg) of vitamin C, 100 international units of vitamin E and 37.5 micrograms of selenium taken for seven years also reduced gastric cancer incidence. Garlic in the form of 400 mg aged garlic extract and one mg of steam-distilled garlic oil was given to a third group for seven years. All three treatments significantly slashed the gastric cancer fatality rate.

Viva Agave Tequila Waste Turned into Bio-Straws

Jose Cuervo, the bestselling tequila maker globally, has initiated an eco-friendly process of salvaging the leftover agave fibers from its distilling process and upcycling them into a more sustainable alternative to regular plastic straws. The biodegradable drinking straw will decompose up to 200 times faster than regular plastic. Made with an agave bio-based and U.S. Food and Drug Administration-approved composite, the new straws replace about a third of the polymers used in traditional straw production, and at the end of its lifecycle a straw can be consumed by microorganisms to fully biodegrade within one to five years in landfill conditions. The company plans to distribute millions of the straws this year at bars, restaurants and Jose Cuervo events across the U.S. and Mexico. 22

Waste-to-Energy ‘Matterhorn’

Sustainable Power With a Recreational Bonus

Copenhagen has dramatically refashioned the look and function of a power station with a new state-ofthe-art, waste-to-power plant that powers 200,000 homes and doubles—actually, sextuples—as a ski slope, a climbing wall, a viewing tower, a hiking and running trail network, and a bar and restaurant. Named Copenhill, “It is the cleanest waste-to-energy power plant in the world,” says architect Bjarke Ingels. “It is a crystal clear example of ‘Hedonistic Sustainability’ because a sustainable city is not only better for the environment, it is also more enjoyable for the lives of its citizens.” The building, 278 feet tall at its apex, has a glass elevator for viewing the inner workings of how the city’s trash is transformed into both electricity and heating, as well as Palau Bans Chemicals the best view in town of the harbor.

Electric propulsion has long been a goal of aviation manufacturers to lessen the carbon footprint of air travel. On December 11, Vancouver, Canada-based Harbour Air launched the first successful test flight of an all-electric aircraft. Founder and CEO Greg McDougall piloted a 1956 de Havilland Beaver seaplane, rechristened the ePlane. Retrofitted with a 750-horsepower magni500 motor by MagniX, it took off from a dock on the Fraser River in Richmond, British Columbia, and flew for four minutes. The certification process will take one to two years. After that, the retrofits of the company’s existing fleet of small planes can begin. The challenge for airlines seeking to go green with large aircraft is that current technology leaves electric engines relatively weak for their weight and they have a short battery life, but these factors do not deter Harbour Air, which went carbon-neutral in 2007 and flies mostly short hops in the Northwest.

3D-Printed Buildings on the Rise

ICON, an Austin-based startup, built the first permitted 3D-printed house in the U.S. in its hometown in 2018. Since then, the company has built a small neighborhood in Mexico and launched its Vulcan II printer, which can produce houses measuring up to 2,000 square feet. San Francisco-based Apis Cor is another company in the 3D-printing space: It has just completed a two-story, 6,900-square-foot building in Dubai and it plans to build a demonstration house in Santa Barbara, California, this year. Another tech startup, Haus.me, has opened an assembly plant in Reno, where it plans to ship its first offthe-grid models to buyers in Nevada, California and Arizona. In the Netherlands, a consortium of companies has set up a factory with 3D-printing machines that use concrete; it plans to supply materials for five homes to be built in the city of Eindhoven. The upside of using 3D-printing techniques for building houses include lower cost, less waste and reduced construction time—six weeks versus six months. Current barriers include a lack of regulation and building codes, and a limit on the types of materials that can be used. The process is limited largely to plastics and concrete, and homes requiring wood or steel still need to use traditional methods.

Soothing Scents

Smells of Nature Lower Physiological Stress In a virtual reality experiment, people recovered faster from a small electric shock when they smelled a mix of natural scents in a forest scene or grass in a park scene than when they smelled diesel or tar in an urban setting. Researchers at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences hypothesized that natural environments would reduce stress faster than a non-natural one. After administering the small shock to induce stress, they tracked how quickly participants’ skin conductance levels rose and fell in each of the three environments. The pleasant natural scents were the strongest predictor of reduced stress, both during the initial shock response and in recovery, suggesting that odor might have a much more profound effect on reducing stress than sights and sounds. As study coauthor Johan Lundström, a neuropsychologist at Sweden’s Karolinska Institute, theorized smell is wired to bypass the thalamus, the brain’s switchboard, to go directly to the hypothalamus and olfactory cortex, creating a more immediate response than visual or auditory stimuli.

Eating more fruits and vegetables as part of a plant-based diet is catching on. In 2019, more than one third of Americans said they plan to incorporate more plant-based foods into their diets to achieve their wellness resolutions, according to data company YouGov. For those new to “green eating”—and even for veggieminded veterans—lots of helpful information is available now on what to consider in buying, preparing, re-using and discarding food. The Environmental Working Group’s website at ewg.org/foodnews makes it easy to research pesticide levels in produce. Check out the Clean Fifteen and Dirty Dozen—the most toxin-free and toxin-heavy fruits and vegetables—along with related news and developments. Home deliveries of local and organic produce can save time and gas consumption from shopping. Some of the leading regional services include Fresh Direct (FreshDirect. com), Sun Basket (SunBasket.com), Green Bean Delivery (GreenBeanDelivery.com), Irv & Shelly’s Fresh Picks (FreshPicks.com) and Territory Foods (TerritoryFoods.com). Composting combines food scraps with lawn and garden trimmings and more into a nutrient-rich, natural garden fertilizer. A useful guide to composting basics by the Environmental Protection Agency can be found at epa.gov/ recycle/composting-home. The phenomenon of food scrapping—using the parts of produce in recipes that are often thrown out—saves money in shopping, is easier on the environment and pleasingly leads to creative and innovative meals. A number of cookbooks are dedicated to the subject, including Cooking With Scraps: Turn Your Peels, Cores, Rinds, and Stems into Delicious Meals, by Lindsay-Jean Hard and Scraps, Peels, and Stems: Recipes and Tips for Rethinking Food Waste at Home, by Jill Lightner. Plant-based foods can be swapped for traditional ingredients in countless recipes. MotherEarthLiving.com explains how aquafaba—the water from a can of beans— can replace egg whites, even in meringues. Bananas, applesauce and ground flaxseeds or chia seeds can substitute for eggs to bind baked goods. Coconut oil can replace butter and nutritional yeast can do the job of parmesan when sprinkled on pasta.

4 Oral Toxins

Nina Firsoval/Shutterstock.com

That Will Make You Sick by Dr. Yolanda Cintron

or the last 32 years, I have seen how oral infections make so many people ill.

1) Mercury (Hg) - neurotoxin kills the neurotransmitters in the brain and nerve cells, causing Alzheimer’s, dementia, MS and Parkinson’s, ALS and neurological conditions. 2) Root Canal - microorganisms eating the bone, gums, flesh traveling to the organs and affecting the meridians of the organs connected to those teeth. 3) Heavy Metals - Lead and aluminum found in dental crowns linked to the autoimmune response and neuropathy. 4) Bacteria - Found in your gums causing heart disease.

Let’s talk more about the first step in dental health, bacteria, oral hygiene and your heart—the source of life. Over 32 years ago, I was taught that bacteria and the inflammation of periodontal diseases are linked to heart and lung infections. For the last 32 years, I have seen it with my own eyes. Dr. Stephen Sinatra, a famous preventive cardiologist, explains in his book, Reverse Heart Disease Now, “The connection is simple: pathogenic (disease-causing) bacteria migrate into the circulatory system and contribute to inflammation in the arteries. Thus to help put out the fire in your arteries, you need to put out the fire in your mouth.” It is so logical to me. When was the last time your doctor or cardiologist told you your dentist can save your life? Dr. Sinatra also states in his book, “We believe, in fact, that good oral hygiene is more important than lowering

cholesterol.” If you clean up the bacterial infection in your mouth, signs of cardiovascular diseases, such as C-reactive protein level, go down. That means there’s less inflammation in your system from top to bottom. Inflammation causes rapid aging. To eliminate any of these four toxins that can make you sick, first make sure you make an appointment with a holistic dentist. Here are some questions to ask to find an experienced biological dentist (we implement all these practices at our office and have for the last 21-plus years). What is a biological dentist? A biological dentist is a dentist that has additional training by international organizations in oral medicine and toxicology, international and national medical and dental organizations that are interested in angling the treatment from a more comprehensive point of view. A biological dentist will look at your medical history, work with your doctors, endocrinologists, cancer oncologist and heart specialists; they have the training to actually work with these doctors in conjunction to detox your body from your mouth and boost your immune system so the actual specialists can achieve their goal of overall health. Your body will be able to restore and rebuild itself. A holistic biological dentist identifies and treats dental problems as a part of your overall health and wellbeing. 1) Is your office mercury safe? We follow a strict SMART protocol in the office to remove mercury fillings and heavy metals SAFELY. Only 5 percent of dentists’ offices have invested in mercury-safe protocol and we are proud to be one of the few. Why is it important to go to a mercury safe office for treatment? Because we

properly protect the patient and the environment from getting in contact with any toxic chemicals; if removed unsafely, the mercury will go right into your bloodstream and cause more harm than good. 2) Does your office use a laser to treat gum disease? I find it so superior and effective in a) The killing of bacteria on contact, reducing the days and amount of antibiotics a patient will need. b) Killing viruses; yes, periodontal disease may have a viral component that will not be killed or addressed by an antibiotic. c) Accelerated healing; you see the results in a few days instead of 21 days (lasers cauterize as they kill). d) Reduced inflammation and therefore discomfort.

THE ROOTS OF GOOD HEALTH Thriving on a Plant-Based Diet

hether identifying as vegan, vegetarian, pescatarian, flexitarian or other veggie-friendly variant, a growing number of Americans are moving away from meat products and toward plantrich foods. Most come to a plant-based diet for personal, planetary or animal welfare reasons; however, they stay for the flavorful foods they discover along their dietary journey and the health benefits they reap. Marly McMillen-Beelman was prescribed medications to alleviate symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome. “I knew I didn’t want to be on prescriptions, so I decided to change my diet, beginning by giving up meat, dairy and eggs. I immediately felt much better and my symptoms went away naturally,” says the Kansas City, Missouri, author of The Everything Vegan Meal Prep Cookbook and 26

founder of Chopped Academy, an online resource for food bloggers. “Now I eat an even greater variety of food than I did before I went vegan.” While only 3 percent of Americans identified as vegan and 5 percent as vegetarian in a recent Gallup Poll, a 2018 report by restaurant consultants Baum + Whiteman indicates that about 83 percent are eating more plant-based foods. Embarking on a plant-based diet is a lifelong adventure, but it can take time to adjust. Experts recommend a healthy dose of self-love with the newfound fondness for fruits and veggies. “Give yourself some slack and realize that dietary changes do not happen overnight,” says April Murray, a registered dietician in Costa Mesa, California. “Start with familiar plant-based foods you already

enjoy, and ease into trying new foods, whether tempeh or lentils.” A plant-oriented diet also can be flexible; health advocates encourage individuals to find a diet that works for them and their families. Leah Webb, the Asheville, North Carolina, author of Simple and Delicious Recipes for Cooking with Whole Foods on a Restrictive Diet, has adapted her diet over time to accommodate her family’s health needs. Although Webb has always maintained a plant-rich diet, she began incorporating some animal products when her son was born. “He had severe food allergies and asthma, and needed a more diverse diet,” explains Webb, whose daughter also has cystic fibrosis. Cutting out grains was a game-changer in “calming down his gut, where most of immune response lies,” says Webb. “He is now off asthma medication and the number of

allergens he suffers from has dropped from seven to two.” Webb’s family eats bountifully from their backyard garden, complemented by meat and produce from local farmers’ markets, where she can be certain the foods were produced sustainably and humanely. “I use meat to flavor soups or accent vegetables, rather than as the star of the show. I like to focus on real flavors, using lots of garlic, herbs and spices,” says Webb. Murray, author of The Everything Pegan Diet Cookbook: 300 Recipes for Starting—and Maintaining—the Pegan Diet, follows that diet, a mash-up of paleo and vegan regimens that focuses on whole, fresh and sustainable food high in healthy fats and vitamins. The Pegan diet eschews refined sugar and highly processed foods, while allowing meat, poultry, fish and eggs, as well as gluten-free grains, legumes and dairy products in small amounts. “This diet can be helpful to different people in so many ways,” says Murray. “For people with diabetes and blood sugar dysregulation, this high-fiber diet can help lower blood sugar and insulin levels. Heart health will improve, as you’ll be eating less animal products, which can be high in cholesterol and saturated fat. Many individuals also find themselves losing unwanted weight as they get filled up so quickly with these whole foods.”

Start with familiar plant-based foods you already enjoy, and ease into trying new foods, whether tempeh or lentils. ~April Murray

Plant-Based Nutrition Made Easy

While some worry about getting sufficient nutrients on a largely plant-based diet, nutrition experts say these fears are unfounded. “People think they need to calculate every nutrient, but if you eat a plant-centered, whole-foods diet, you will get every vitamin and mineral you need to thrive,” says Ocean Robbins, co-founder of the Food Revolution Network and author of The 31-Day Food Revolution: Heal Your Body, Feel Great, and Transform Your World. Legumes, nuts and seeds are all healthy, abundant sources of protein and iron. Reed Mangels, author of Your Complete Vegan Pregnancy: Your All-in-One Guide to a Healthy, Holistic, Plant-Based Pregnancy, busts the myth that cow’s milk is a must for growing bones. “Calcium, vitamin D and protein are the nutrients we usually associate with bone health. One easy way to get all three is a soy-based or pea protein-based plant milk that is fortified with calcium and vitamin D,” says Mangels, adding that green vegetables like kale, bok choy, collards and broccoli are great sources of calcium.

“‘Eating the rainbow’ is great way to make sure you’re consuming a variety of nutrients,” offers London-based Ben Pook, who coauthored the cookbook So Vegan in 5 with his partner Roxy Pope. “Many vitamins, minerals and antioxidants bring their own distinctive colors to fruits and vegetables, so preparing colorful meals is a simple way of getting as many nutrients into your diet as possible.”

Getting Social

Dietary changes can be challenging to navigate initially, particularly when faced with social situations ranging from family gatherings to cohabitation. Having a good plan going into such situations can help ease the transition, say experts. “Never show up to an event hungry. You will be more likely to make a good decision if you are nourished. On the way there, remind yourself why you are making the transition to plant-based eating,” suggests Murray. “I call myself a secular vegan because I don’t have a dogmatic approach to the way I eat. If I go to a family dinner and someone has made something special for me, but they used a non-vegan cheese, I will respect my family member’s effort and eat some of it. These situations will pop up from time to time, and the more you can be compassionate with yourself, the better,” says McMillen-Beelman. “If you are living with people who are not joining you in making a dietary shift, agree to respect each other’s choices. Make it a shared

Plant-Based Primer

avigating the lexicon of plant-based diets can be tricky, and choosing a diet even trickier. Here’s a brief guide to some of the commonly used terms. Flexitarians eat a mainly vegetarian diet, but will consume meat on occasion. Pegans (a term coined by Dr. Mark Hyman, who follows the diet) focus on eating vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, meat, fish and eggs, while avoiding dairy, grains, legumes, sugar and processed foods. Pescatarians like radio host Howard Stern eat fish, seafood and other forms of animal products such as dairy, but don’t eat other forms of meat such as chicken, beef or pork.

Plant-based diets, followed by celebrities like Ben Stiller, consist mostly or entirely of foods derived from plants, including vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds, legumes and fruits, with few or no animal products. Vegans don’t consume any animal products, including eggs, dairy, honey or gelatin. Famous vegans include Ellen DeGeneres, Betty White, Beyonce, Bill Clinton, Madonna and Venus Williams. Vegetarians refrain from meat and seafood, but will consume dairy or other animal byproducts such as honey. Well-known vegetarians include Albert Einstein, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Doris Day, Jane Goodall, Kristen Wiig and Prince. March 2020 27

learning journey rather than a power struggle,” says Robbins. For example, he suggests making a vegetarian base and allowing those that want animal products to add them as toppings. A burrito bar can accommodate all diets by allowing people to add their own fixings to a base of beans and tortillas, whether those be dairy options like cheese and sour cream or vegan-friendly guacamole and salsa. For families with kids, being flexible and inclusive can help make changes feel more positive and sustainable. “We never eat processed foods at home, but parties are that time I tell my kids they can eat whatever they want,” says Webb. “Get your children involved, so that they are more engaged in the eating experience. Let your children pick out recipes or snacks for the week. Make the food look pretty and it will taste more satisfying,” adds Murray.

Plant Prep Made Easy

Plant-based chefs have plenty of kitchen hacks for making food prep and planning fun and easy. Robbins suggests finding go-to

Webb incorporates a healthy protein, fat and vegetable into every meal, even breakfast, but cooks in batches and freezes portions or repurposes leftovers to simplify mealtimes. “You’ll get burned out if you try to cook something from scratch every meal,” says Webb. “We eat a lot of eggs because we raise chickens, so I’ll do baked frittatas I can reheat during the week.” Advance meal prep can take the pressure off busy times like the weekday breakfast rush, adds Robbins. One of his favorite breakfasts involves soaking oats

and chia seeds overnight, which he tops in the morning with some unsweetened soy or coconut milk, chopped banana, frozen blueberries, and a dash of maple syrup, vanilla and nutmeg. “It’s full of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, antioxidants and phytonutrients,” he says. Webb encourages people to get out of their food comfort zones by experimenting with approximate ingredients, like swapping kabocha or honeynut squash for butternut squash.

Meatless Makeover A Plant-Based Spin on Classic Dishes by April Thompson

hen contemplating a shift toward a plant-based diet, some may prematurely mourn the loss of their favorite meaty classics. Luckily, enterprising vegan chefs have experimented with flavors and textures that will lure almost any palate into loving a plant-based version of their favorite dishes without resorting to processed foods. “Plant-based versions of classic dishes offer all the nutritional benefits of plants without the cholesterol and saturated fats from animal products,” says chef and author Marly McMillen-Beelman. “You don’t have to abandon all your favorite foods to become vegan—just veganize them.” The Kansas City chef makes carrot “dogs”, for example, by roasting carrots in a savory mix of tamari, agave, miso, paprika and garlic for a cookout-worthy treat. McMillen-Beelman’s cookbook The Everything Vegan Meal Prep Cookbook also offers many bean- and legume-based versions of classic sandwiches, like a vegan “Big Mac” with quinoa and pinto beans; a burger made from oats, black beans and pecans; meatballs from

tofu and lentils; and a chicken salad based on tempeh, a fermented, soy-based, high-protein product with a nutty flavor. “A lot of people like using tempeh, tofu or jackfruit for a meaty texture. It needs to be well seasoned, but so does meat,” suggests Ocean Robbins, author of The 31-Day Food Revolution: Heal Your Body, Feel Great, & Transform Your World. “To mimic cheese, some combination of nuts and nutritional yeast, cultured nut cheeses or plant-based milks works nicely.” McMillen-Beelman likes using jackfruit for a “pulled pork” sandwich or taco, the tropical fruit being packed with vitamin C, protein, calcium, potassium and iron. Her slow-cooked version leans on whole-food ingredients, including pear and cranberries, to add natural sweetness and phytonutrients. “I use canned jackfruit because it’s much easier to find and cook with than the expensive jumbo whole fruit,” she says. Ben Pook, the London co-author with Roxy Pope of So Vegan in 5, says mushrooms lend substance and umami flavor to vegan

dishes such as a mushroom, sage and onion Wellington as a substitute for the classic beef Wellington. “We use portobello mushrooms for their meaty texture, which we surround with a sage and onion stuffing—all wrapped in vegan puff pastry to create a centerpiece worthy of any dinner party,” says Pook, whose cookbook features dozens of plant-based recipes that contain only five ingredients each, such as a broccoli alfredo with cashews, broccolini, tagliatelle pasta, nutritional yeast and garlic. Nuts can also work wonders in a vegetarian dish, such as Pook and Pope’s walnut meat tacos, which blend toasted walnuts together with spices like cumin, paprika, garlic and chili powder to create a mince-like texture built into a taco with toppings galore. Many classic dishes can also be adapted by simply leaving out the meat and letting the spices, herbs and vegetables shine through; for example, in a vegan shepherd’s pie, go with penne pasta with red sauce or a garlicky pesto with extra nuts, greens and olive oil in lieu of cheese. Sweet tooth cravings can be satisfied with healthy, plant-based versions of classic desserts, substituting aquafaba (the starchy liquid left over from canned beans) instead of frothy egg whites, or olive oil or avocado for butter. Nut butters can also add a touch of richness to a dish, whether sweet or savory. “I love making a peanut coconut milk curry soup with onions, mushrooms and bok choy, with peanut butter, lime juice and soy sauce blended into the coconut milk for a luxurious flavor and texture. It’s great over potatoes, quinoa or rice,” says Robbins. “Vegan food doesn’t need to be expensive, boring or complicated,” Pook says. “There really are endless possibilities when it comes to cooking with plants, so don’t be afraid to experiment and create your own twist.” Connect with Washington, D.C.-based freelance writer April Thompson at AprilWrites.com.

and pepper. Use a spoon to mix everything together, then set aside.

Meanwhile, add the flour to a small plate and set aside. Press the tofu if required. (Extra-firm tofu contains very little moisture, so this step isn’t always necessary.)Then slice the block in half and break the tofu into bite-sized pieces with hands.

Vegan Popcorn ‘Chicken’ Yields: 4 to 6 servings 10.5 oz extra-firm tofu Sea salt and pepper ½ cup flour Vegetable oil Dry ingredients: 3.5 oz paprika-flavored chips 4 Tbsp flour 2 tsp dried oregano 1 tsp smoked paprika ½ tsp onion powder ½ tsp garlic powder Wet ingredients: ½ cup plant-based milk ½ Tbsp apple cider vinegar 2 Tbsp hot sauce To serve: Tomato ketchup Vegan mayonnaise Crush the paprika crisps between a clean tea towel using a rolling pin until no big pieces remain. Transfer to a bowl along with the remaining dry ingredients and a pinch of salt

Season the tofu on both sides with salt and pepper; dip tofu into the flour, followed by the milk mixture, then the crisp mixture. Repeat until all the tofu pieces have been coated. Add the vegetable oil to a pan until it’s ¼-inch deep. Tip: Use a wok to reduce the amount of oil needed. Heat the oil on medium-high. Drop a tiny amount of the dry mixture; if it starts sizzling as soon as it hits the oil, it’s ready. Carefully add half a dozen or so tofu pieces to the hot oil and fry for about 2 minutes on each side or until the tofu begins to brown and is extra crispy. It’s important to not overcrowd the pan, as it can lower the temperature of the oil. When the tofu is ready, carefully remove it from the pan and transfer it to a plate lined with parchment paper; immediately season it with some extra salt, which will help make it even crispier. Repeat until all the tofu pieces are cooked. Serve with a favorite dip, such as one made by combining equal amounts of tomato ketchup and vegan mayo.

Walnut Meat Tacos Yields: 4 servings

Natural Awakenings recommends using organic, non-GMO (genetically modified) and non-bromated ingredients whenever possible.

Walnut meat: 14 oz walnuts 1 Tbsp smoked paprika 2 tsp chili powder 1½ Tbsp ground cumin 3 garlic cloves 2 tsp balsamic vinegar 2 tsp maple syrup 2.5 oz sun-dried tomatoes in oil Sea salt Black bean mixture: 9 oz canned sweet corn 14 oz canned black beans Sea salt and pepper ½ lime Handful of fresh cilantro Salsa: 9 oz cherry tomatoes 1 green chili 1 red onion 1 lime Handful of fresh cilantro Sea salt and pepper To serve: 2 avocados ½ lime 8-10 small corn tortillas Vegan yogurt Toast the walnuts in a pan over a medium heat for 6-8 minutes or until they begin to smoke. Keep an eye on them and stir occasionally to prevent them burning. Then peel and dice the March 2020 31

Add the cooked walnuts, garlic and spices to a food processor along with the balsamic vinegar, maple syrup, sun-dried tomatoes (drain as much oil as possible) and a pinch of salt. Process for a minute or two until the walnut mixture turns into a mince-like texture. Next, prepare the salsa by slicing the cherry tomatoes into quarters and transfer them to a mixing bowl. Peel and dice the red onion, slice the chili (leave the seeds in if spicy is preferred) and roughly chop the cilantro leaves, adding all to the mixing bowl. Squeeze the juice from the lime into the bowl, along with a generous pinch of salt and pepper, then stir to combine. Meanwhile, heat through the tortillas in a pan over a low-medium heat. Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out the flesh and mash it in a bowl along with juice from half a lime. When you’re ready to assemble your tacos,

Meanwhile, drain and rinse the black beans and sweet corn. Transfer them to a separate pan and stir in a generous pinch of salt and pepper, as well as the juice from the lime. Heat through for 5 minutes on a medium heat. Remove the pan from the heat, roughly chop the cilantro and stir it into the beans and sweet corn.

garlic and add it to the walnuts along with the smoked paprika, chili powder and ground cumin. Stir to coat the walnuts in the spices, then cook for 2 minutes.

Yields: 4 servings 8 Portobello mushrooms 3 onions 10 sage leaves 4.2 oz walnuts 2 (11 oz) sheets of dairy-free puff pastry Preheat oven to 425° F and line a large baking tray with baking paper. Wipe any excess dirt off the mushrooms and place five of them in an ovenproof dish. Drizzle with olive oil and season with sea salt and pepper, then bake for 15 minutes. Remove the mushrooms from the oven and set aside, leaving the oven switched on for later. Meanwhile, quarter the remaining mushrooms; peel and roughly chop the onions and add to a food processor along with sage leaves, walnuts, ½ teaspoon of

salt and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Process to form a smooth paste, then fry in a pan over a medium-high heat for 15 minutes, stirring frequently. Set aside to cool for 10 minutes. Roll out one sheet of pastry onto the lined baking tray. Spread a third of the paste down the middle of the pastry lengthways, spreading it 2 inches wide and leaving the same length clear at each end. Turn the baked mushrooms upside-down to drain excess juices, then place three of the mushrooms, gills facing up, on top of the paste along the middle of the pastry. Add the remaining two mushrooms, gills facing down, between the three mushrooms. Spoon the remaining paste around the mushrooms to cover them on all sides. Place the second sheet of pastry on top and use your fingers to seal the edges together. Trim around the Wellington roughly one inch away from the filling, discarding the excess pastry as you go. Lightly score the Wellington with diagonal lines at 1-inch intervals and brush with olive oil. Bake in the oven for 50 minutes, until the pastry turns a lovely golden brown. Remove from the oven and serve in slices. Adapted from So Vegan in 5 by Roxy Pope and Ben Pook.

LIVING IN SYNCHRONICITY The Power of Meaningful Coincidence

by Meg Lundstrom

hen we have an inner need that converges with an outside event, it is a meaningful coincidence known as synchronicity, and it happens to us all. It can be simple, like a playful sprite: recurring numbers or dates, all the lights turning green as we race to meet an appointment or a call from a faraway friend just when we want to talk to them. Or it can be profound: a chance meeting with an employer looking for exactly our skills, unexpected money appearing when we’re in a pinch, a timely rescue or our grandmother’s favorite, obscure song coming on the radio or app just as we’re feeling teary-eyed on the anniversary of her death. Whether they are lighthearted or life-changing, synchronicities link us to an underlying order in the universe that is profoundly reassuring. They open us to mystery and delight. They give us a sense of being taken care of. They nudge us to grow in scary, but life-affirming directions. They awaken a sense of awe, which studies have shown to be the emotion most likely to make us reach out generously to others— and that evokes even more synchronicity. And they can make daily life a lark. By its very nature, we can’t create synchronicity, but we can live life in a way that encourages it to show up. The more

engaged we are spiritually—whether that means prayer, meditation, walking in nature or loving others deeply—the more likely synchronicity is. Being open, self-honest, courageous, engaged, grateful and fully present summons it, which is where therapy, yoga and bodywork can be useful. But we don’t have to be saintly or enlightened; synchronicity is there for us all. It is simply the way the Universe works. The first step is to notice synchronicity when it occurs, and honor it. As with humans, when we give it our attention and say thank you, it makes it more likely to show up in our life again. At some point as our trust builds, synchronicity becomes simply the way our life works. Things show up as we need them and we are in the right place at the right time. Even when occurrences seemingly go awry, we glimpse an underlying order that gives us strength and purpose. Life becomes a steady stream of meaningfulness and inner and outer exploration. We find ourselves living in flow, attuned to life’s deepest currents and awash in deep gratitude.

VEGAN FITNESS A Healthy Choice for Body and Planet

ennis champion Venus Williams and New England Patriots star quarterback Tom Brady are among the athletes that opt for healthy, plantdominant diets to reach their personal best, a trend that belies some misconceptions about what it means to be vegan. “Going vegan implies a larger, lifestyle choice based on personal ethics, but athletes report that they just feel better,” says Brenda Carey, editor-in-chief of Vegan Health and Fitness Magazine. “They’re also surprised at how well they put on muscle after making this dietary change.” A balanced vegan diet can provide everything an active body needs for muscle mass, stamina and recovery while lowering the risk of heart disease. A 2018 metaanalysis of 40 studies published in the peer-reviewed journal PLOS One concludes that a plant-powered diet fosters a healthier cardio-metabolic profile. According to Dutch researchers, amping up nutrition from plants may also lower the risk of

insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. Devotees report unexpected perks. “I recover faster. I also have more natural energy without the need for caffeine and reduced inflammation, as confirmed in blood tests,” says Matt Tullman, managing partner of the community-building website NoMeatAthlete.com and CEO of vegan supplement maker Complement, in Boulder, Colorado.

Nutritional Superpowers

Bolstering the diet with foods like quinoa, chia seeds, nut butters and vegan energy powders, as well as combining foods for a more complete protein profile, is important. For example, pairing whole-grain rice with beans makes a complete protein, says Stefanie Moir, international vegan fitness coach and founder of VeganAesthetics.co.uk, in Glasgow, Scotland. “Eating a wide variety of foods across the plant kingdom ensures that you reach your fitness goals,” says Moir, who trains

~Torre Washington six days a week and opts for a breakfast of oats with nut butter and chia seeds. “If you want a ‘superfood’ component, you can add cacao powder for antioxidants and a great chocolate taste.” Tullman acknowledges that there are some exceptions to protein requirements— especially for the elderly, individuals with certain chronic diseases and pregnant women—but he notes that daily protein needs are less than we’ve been conditioned to believe. “If you track your macronutrients through a day, you’ll find that you’re getting adequate protein.” Professional bodybuilder Torre Washington, in Tamarac, Florida, keeps it simple. “We’re all unique individuals, so it’s up to each person to test things without fear

of lack.” The National Academy of Sports Medicine-certified coach loves antioxidantrich blueberries, filling apples and potassium-packed bananas, and tends to choose calorically lower, nutritionally dense foods during periods that he’s competing. Carey suggests vegan meal delivery services as an option and vegan-friendly restaurants in a pinch, but attests to an easy system of meal prep for consistency. “Some people like to meal prep one day a week— cooking brown rice, quinoa and chopping veggies. This way, you can just throw it together when it’s time to eat,” she says. “You can also eat more simply and throw a bunch of yummy fruits or veggies into the blender for smoothies or soups.” For added fortification, some experts recommend supplementing with vegan sources of vitamin B12, especially for active women in their child-bearing years and older individuals, because B12 absorption is compromised as we age. Adding a vegan source of vitamin D is also a wise choice if exposure to natural sunlight is not adequate.

The Big Picture

For the vegan athlete, workout gear that doesn’t contain wool or leather is the way to go. “Making conscious choices expands beyond your plate, and a lot of brands have vegan-friendly shoes,” says Moir. “The difference between ‘plantbased’ and ‘vegan’ has to do with ethical motivations and treatment of animals,” says Tullman. “Natural fibers such as cotton and synthetic fabrics like polyester are fine.” The path of vegan fitness can not only offer health benefits, but also a personal connection to the Earth. “It’s given me an opportunity to share my journey with others and to allow them to reach their own specific goals,” says Washington. “Mentally, it’s given me more depth of thought and spiritually connected me with the ‘YOUniverse’ as a whole.” Marlaina Donato is the author of several books and a composer.

arch brings the first whiffs of fragrant spring air, along with a heightened chance of runny noses, coughs, sore throats and congestion in youngsters. The spring and fall months are the most likely times to catch a cold because seasonal allergens inflame nostrils, making it easier for cold viruses to have their way. Although many worried parents reach for cold and cough medicines, antihistamines or even antibiotics, there is little evidence that these ease symptoms or hasten recovery, and they may even cause harm, according to reports from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP). The AAP suggests some natural approaches for symptoms, including sponging for fevers as well as hydration, honey and chest rubs. A metastudy published in American Family Physician in 2012 found that treatment with buckwheat honey, Umcka ColdCare, nasal saline irrigation, a vapor rub or zinc sulfate “may decrease cold symptoms in children.” Here are those and some other natural strategies:

Hydration to flush out germs: “If your child doesn’t like

drinking water, add a spritz of lemon, ginger, crushed berries or fruit juice to give it some flavor,” advises Heather Tynan, ND, of Evergreen Naturopathic,

napalmbeach.com

in San Diego. A child can also drink coconut water or suck on frozen berries or popsicles.

Honey for sleeplessness and coughs: Honey can kill both

viruses and bacteria, and in a Pennsylvania State University study, a bedtime teaspoon of buckwheat honey beat out dextromethorphan, a cough suppressant used in over-the-counter cold and cough medicines, in helping kids sleep better and cough less. (But don’t give honey to a kid under age 1 because of the risk of botulism.)

Chest rub to ease congestion: A chest rub can help clear a

child’s congestion, but choose natural ingredients like aloe, eucalyptus, lavender and rosemary; that’s a safer bet than the standard mentholated products which can cause breathing problems in toddlers. Natural alternatives are sold at health food stores, and a do-it-yourself version can be made simply by mixing together one cup of coconut oil, 20 drops of eucalyptus oil and 10 drops of peppermint oil.

properties, says Tynan. “Diffuse it in your child’s room, or dilute well (about one to two drops per five milliliters of carrier oil) and apply under their nose, behind their ears and on the back of their neck, on their chest and on the soles of their feet.”

Saltwater gargle for a sore throat: As soon as anyone in her

family shows signs of getting sick, they begin gargling with salt water, says Tangela Walker-Craft, a mother and former teacher in Lakeland, Florida. “Saltwater loosens mucus and flushes bacteria out of the throat. It will also help to reduce swelling,” she says.

Elderberry or Umcka to ease symptoms: A recent meta-

analysis in Complementary Therapies in Medicine concluded that elderberry syrup (in stores as Sambucol) reduces the duration and severity of cold and flu symptoms. “The syrup is sweet and delicious, so typically very easy to get children to take,” says naturopathic doctor Kiera Smialek, of Scottsdale, Arizona. Umcka ColdCare, based on the South African geranium, halved cold symptoms in five days compared to a placebo in a University of Chicago study.

strategy “increases circulation, decreases chest congestion and increases the activity of the immune system,” says Smialek. Soak a pair of cotton socks in ice cold water. Wring them out and place them on the child’s feet. Cover them with thick dry socks, ideally wool. Keep them on overnight.

HEMP GETS HOT Meet the Hardest Working Plant on the Planet by Julie Peterson

takes four months to grow, while trees need 20 to 80 years. An acre of hemp can produce four or more times as much paper as an acre of trees. Hemp paper doesn’t need toxic bleaching and can be recycled twice as many times. Other studies concur. Paper without deforestation would be a major benefit, but it’s a minor job on hemp’s profound résumé. “Hemp needs to be a part of every climate change conversation, not only because it sequesters huge amounts of carbon during cultivation, but also because construction products made out of hemp will continue to sequester carbon for up to 100 years,” says Stark. Hemp could also help save the depleted soil on U.S. farmland that has been destroyed by tilling and synthetic fertilizers. “We have to rebuild the soil by putting carbon back in and increasing organic matter,” says Valentine. Hemp does this with a massive root biomass that breaks up compacted soils, improves water infiltration and reduces runoff and erosion.

It’s the fastest growing ag industry that we’ve ever seen. ~Tara Valentine Fast-growing hemp naturally suppresses weeds, needs no pesticides and isn’t picky about soil, water or latitude. By comparison, cotton is water-intensive and uses 25 percent of the world’s pesticides.

Income for Farmers

Used in crop rotation, hemp’s soilenhancing qualities can increase profits on subsequent crops. While cover crops don’t usually have return value, hemp provides additional revenue streams. But the revenue isn’t quite there yet, because the supply chain isn’t complete. Seed supply, farm equipment, education, processing facilities and manufacturers are all links that are developing simultaneously. “Fiber processing facilities will be available soon. Manufacturers are anxious to start incorporating hemp,” says Stark.

The lack of buyers isn’t deterring farmers. Neither are warnings that current harvesting equipment can spark disaster when hemp fiber wraps around rotating parts, heats up and combusts. Dustin Enge, a third-generation farmer in Prairie du Sac, Wisconsin, started Honey Creek Hemp in 2017. He planted six acres of hemp. “I think it’s a long-term viable commodity for farmers. Right now, it’s the Wild West of agriculture. Everyone is trying different things,” says Enge, who modified a harvester for hemp. “I spent about two hours harvesting and 20 hours torching the fiber off my equipment.” Even so, he will plant more acres when he knows it will sell. Behold the sprouting of the hemp industry as an ancient plant takes root in the modern world. Julie Peterson writes from rural Wisconsin and can be reached at JuliePeterson2222@ gmail.com.

We need elected officials to understand regenerative ideas and feel pressure from constituents. Officials need to hear that we don’t want our tax money used for degenerative practices. Fourth is money. It will take trillions of dollars over the next decade, with much money coming from government funding. But private investments also need to shift. Our savings, pensions and retirement accounts need to be in financial institutions that place assets in regenerative, socially responsible investing.

This is a spiritual movement as much as it is an agricultural and alternative energy movement. every day is also extremely important. Americans spend half of their food dollars eating out. Learn to cook, invite people over for dinner, teach your kids how to cook. Eating is an agricultural act. Everyone should also be active in civic organizations. Run for office. It doesn’t have to be in politics, it could be a conservation committee or school board. Do what you can do best inside this regenerative framework and you will have a big impact. Things aren’t hopeless. It’s plausible that we are going to solve this. Unfortunately, it took until now for people to wake up. I believe people have an innate love for nature and other people, but if they’re hopeless and unaware, they’re going to behave as if they don’t care. There is an increasing common awareness and

responsibility to get the job done. This is a spiritual movement as much as it is an agricultural and alternative energy movement.

What inspired you to write about this issue?

About 10 years ago, I learned that regenerative food, farming and land use, in combination with renewable energy and radical energy conservation, could solve the climate crisis. I did more research, helped form Regeneration International and then saw that there wasn’t a roadmap for regeneration. I needed to write the book so that the climate movement would understand regeneration and the food-farmingregeneration movement would understand climate. And I need for everyone to understand that there is hope. Elizabeth Greene writes about the environment. Connect at ElizabethGreene28@gmail.com.

~Lara Miller within the human body. “When we can’t sleep or are stressed out, cannabinoid levels go way down,” Bongiorno says. While prescription drugs overwhelm the body with adverse side effects, CBD can healthfully bring back balance. But CBD won’t trigger an altered state because there is little to no tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the psychoactive chemical in marijuana that produces a high, he says, adding that he starts patients at a low daily dose of 25 milligrams. It’s important to talk with a physician about drug interactions, Bongiorno says. For instance, CBD can increase levels of blood-thinning medications, according to a 2017 study published in Epilepsy & Behavior Case Reports. CBD can possibly treat a wide range of conditions, from fear of public speaking to bipolar and post-traumatic stress disorders, but more research is needed, experts say. A 2018 clinical trial published in JAMA Psychiatry suggests CBD offers potential in treating psychosis. More recently, researchers in a 2019 case study of 27 patients published by the Permanente Journal concluded, “Cannabidiol may hold benefit for anxiety-related disorders.”

Seeds of Hope

The most important step consumers can take to find a safe, quality product is to know where their CBD comes from, experts say. Lara Miller is an organic farmer in Lafayette, Colorado, who in 2017 dedicated a parcel of her two-acre farm to growing hemp for her business, North Field Farmacy. “I added in hemp because it is a dynamic plant that produces fiber, seed and medicine for us humans, all at the same time,” she says. Miller’s small, women-owned business grows the leafy plants outdoors in organic soil and harvests by hand. “We test in the field, post-harvest, during extraction and in the final product,” she says. “We know our product is clean and pure and potent.” This isn’t always the case. A 2017 study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association showed that in 84 CBD products sold online by 31 companies, 26 percent contained less CBD than the amount listed on the label. Miller receives weekly calls from those wanting to purchase her plants and start a CBD business. “What bothers me the most is that not one person has asked how my hemp is grown,” she says. “It all feels like a big grab; the integrity isn’t there.” Miller continues to decline these requests and spends her days on the farm, where—come harvest time—she, alongside her crew, engages in some visualizations. “We imagine the people suffering who need support and think about how we are growing the plants to help them.” Julie Marshall is a Colorado-based writer and author of Making Burros Fly: Cleveland Amory, Animal Rescue Pioneer.

Pet food recalls have prompted some families to start cooking for their charges, but it’s not as simple as sharing the family dinner. “There are online calculators that can help you create and balance recipes for dogs and cats. Balancing a diet can be tedious and often requires added supplements,” says Krause. Seeing a four-legged friend thrive was worth the extra time and cost for Yvonnda Stamp-Agent, a homemaker from Rockvale, Tennessee.

n Raw The biologically appropriate raw food (BARF) diet, as described at BarfWorld.com, contains raw meats, vegetables and cooked grains and legumes. Proponents say it improves health from tooth to tail. “Buddha, my orange tabby, is 22 and no longer has an issue with hairballs,” says Kim Bolin, a Reno, Nevada real estate agent, who has fed raw for three years. Stephanie Krause, in Keego Harbor, Michigan, says her three dogs are more relaxed, probably from the time and effort needed to eat large bones—and they haven’t needed a teeth cleaning since going raw. “After eating raw bones, there was plaque laying all over the floor.” The BARF diet can be homemade, although most choose prepared frozen or freeze-dried products to ensure nutrient balance or to avoid handling raw meats. Angie Krause says the diet is controversial, largely due to human health risks from pathogenic bacteria.

n Vegan and Vegetarian For ethical and environmental reasons, homemade or pre-made, plant-based diets for companion animals are becoming more popular. “If the 163 million dogs and cats in the U.S. were their own country, it would be the fifth-largest meat-eating country on the planet,” says May. Cats cannot survive without meat, which provides the high protein, amino acids and other nutrients their bodies require. However, a 2018 study published in the Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association suggests that plant-based diets, possibly supplemented with vitamins B12 and D and some amino acids, can meet nutrition requirements of dogs. “Dogs are omnivores, and can thrive on balanced, complete, plant-based diets. They have nutrient requirements, not ingredient requirements,” says May. Pet diets aren’t an all-or-nothing choice, says Angie Krause. “Eventually, my patient will always reveal what works for them.

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-product there. They need a drier climate than Florida, but they do grow here and there is small olive industry here. 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,

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

In lands of palm and southern pine;

• antiarrhythmic

In lands of palm, of orange blossom,

• spasmolytic (relaxes the smooth muscles of the intestine)

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).

• 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 • m o i s t u r i z e s k i n a n d s k i n c o n d i t i o n s s u c h a s 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. William H.

Come learn how to take care of your own energy with clearing tools, gemstones, meditation, situational awareness, and more. The veil between the worlds is quite thin. If you perceive spirits or hear them talking to you, you are not alone. It is more common than you might think. Come learn why and how this happens. Learn techniques to send the spirits home who are showing up uninvited and don’t want to leave. Learn a little about what a medium does and how that is different than uninvited “guests.” If chaos is also present in your life and visitations from apparitions and disincarnate people are common, come to this event to learn how to help yourself and the spirits who are in “limbo” trying to find peace and the way home. 2:30 PM – 4:30 PM, $29 52

INTUITIVE HEALER/HYPNOIST JANE GRAY FORD 561-827-3319 • janegrayford.com ENERGY ENERGY ENERGY The secret to healing starts in the energy field of the body. Pain and disease frequently begin in the auric/ energy field and over time block the energy to the physical body. This may go on for years creating pain and eventually disease. When this energy is restored the body begins to heal itself. Jane Gray Ford for over 20 years has served the community by releasing the causes of disease whether it be karmic, genetic or derived from experiences in this lifetime. Hypnosis and intuitive understanding of energy aid in returning the body to its balanced state.
