t’s funny how maturity can change one’s perspective on life’s experiences. As a teen, I remember Dad coming home from work announcing that this year’s family vacation would be a two-week camping and trekking expedition around Michigan, Canada and upstate New York. I absolutely loved camping as a child, but once puberty hit, it lost its appeal. Long days stuck miserably in the backseat with my sister, fighting for space, was not my idea of fun. Despite my sulking, we all set off to explore the beauty of the Great Lakes region with our popup camper in tow. I still remember being beyond excited when we finally arrived in Ontario and actually checked into a hotel for a couple of days. But what has stayed with me most about that trip was the sheer beauty of Lake Michigan, Mackinac Island and Niagara Falls. Ironically, that is exactly the kind of adventure I would love to give my family today. In this month’s Healthy Kids department, Avery Mack’s article, “Forsaking ‘Angry Birds’ for Bird Songs: Camping Turns Kids into Nature Lovers,” encourages families like yours and mine to spend more time relating to the great outdoors. It’s horrifying to realize that the average American child spends about four hours a day in front of an electronic screen and little if any time in nature. Gathering around a comforting campfire sharing stories, tasting special meals cooked over open flames and breathing in fresh air 24/7 are experiences children will treasure forever. Although preferring a cabin to a tent these days, I still absolutely love to spend summer evenings outside. No kid’s summer break is complete without camp. A longtime Cincinnati tradition for many was spending a couple of weeks at Fort Scott. With Cincinnati’s strong Eastside/Westside allegiance, Fort Scott was always a great way to meet kids from the opposite side of town. The best part for me was riding horses along miles of woodland trails. The horses liked to take off and go and it sure beat riding around a corral. Although Fort Scott is no more, the YMCA’s Camp Ernst is equally engaging and action filled with zip lines, horseback riding, archery, hiking, arts and crafts, water sports including trampolines, slides and boats and campfires complete with s’mores. Moms can can partake, too, by attending the Y’s Women’s Wellness Weekend from September 12 to 14. In addition to riding, hiking, lakeside fun and even a high ropes course, my peers and I can also rejuvenate with yoga, stress release and other health and fitness sessions all in the beautiful natural surroundings of Camp Ernst. I’m in! These days, mothering three teenage and young adult children, family vacation time is more limited than I’d like and that full two-week adventure will have to wait a few more years. Fortunately, Great Parks of Hamilton County offers three scenic campgrounds perfect for a weekend getaway: Miami Whitewater Forest Campground, Steamboat Bend in Woodland Mound and Winton Woods. They also offer enticing themed day camps for kids, including golf and farm camps. Don’t let the lazy days of summer slip away without plunging into the great outdoors. Adventures await us throughout our tri-state region. Let’s make it our best summer yet! In health and happiness,

When the summer of 2011 produced a bumper crop of zucchini, Zak Nordyke baked lots of vegan zucchini bread. The bread became an immediate hit and the nonprofit Evergreen Holistic Learning Center began selling it at a local farmers’ market to help generate funding. Nordyke’s zucchini bread is now available at more than 15 retail locations including Whole Foods Markets. Evergreen Holistic Learning Center was established in 2007 with the mission of providing unique learning opportunities promoting holistic health, environmental awareness, and personal and professional development. In 2011, they partnered with the Cincinnati Health Department and the Detroitbased nonprofit, Urban Farming, to become an urban food production site.

Ginger and Turmeric Protect Skin from Sun

S

cientists from Thailand’s Chulalongkorn University have found that extracts from ginger and turmeric may help prevent DNA damage caused by the sun’s ultraviolet B (UVB) rays, a leading cause of melanoma and other skin cancers. Fifteen herbal extracts were created; each was applied to human keratinocytes, the predominant cell type in the outer layer of skin that can be damaged by the sun’s rays. The researchers measured the ability of each herb extract to absorb ultraviolet radiation and act as an antioxidant, neutralizing free radicals. Turmeric and ginger extracts absorbed a significant amount of UVB rays before they could damage the skin, according to the results, published in Photochemistry and Photobiology. Each was found to stimulate the synthesis of thioredoxin 1, an antioxidant protein that appears to protect keratinocytes from DNA damage and toxicity to living cells.

Essential Oils Effective in Fighting Candida, MRSA

E

ssential oils show promise in preventing infections from the fungi Candida albicans and the bacteria methicillinresistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), according to several recent studies. Romania’s Polytechnic University of Bucharest researchers found that topical application of the essential oils from Salvia officinalis (sage) and Anethum graveolens (dill) provided significant inhibition against the C. albicans fungi when compared with a standard antiseptic dressing. Scientists from England’s Manchester Metropolitan University compared the effects on three strains of MRSA in wound dressings containing the essential oils of patchouli, tea tree, geranium, lavender and grapefruit seed extract against a conventional antibacterial dressing of silver sulfadiazine cream. Each oil was applied independently and in combination with wound dressings. Grapefruit seed extract and geranium oil were found to most effectively inhibit the MRSA strains.

Fruits and Veggies Boost Kids’ Learning and Social Skills

A

study published in the Journal of the Pakistan Medical Association finds that increased fruit and vegetable consumption among school-age children may increase learning skills related to interacting with others, as identified in social cognitive theory. Researchers divided 138 students into two groups, with one group consuming more fruits and vegetables than the other. After three months, the group on the healthier diet tested higher in social cognitive learning skills. They also scored better in self-efficacy (belief they could succeed) in difficult situations, social support and observational learning.

PRETERM BABIES GROW BETTER WITH SUPPLEMENTS

I

n a study published earlier this year in Pediatrics, researchers from Liverpool Women’s Hospital gave either a standard diet or that plus multivitamin and mineral supplementation intravenously to 150 preterm infants for 28 days after their birth. Supplemented babies had higher rates of growth, measured in weight, plus head circumference sizes that were between five and eight millimeters greater. The differences in head circumference remained nine months after the supplementation period ended.

SUN’S RAYS MAY HELP HEART HEALTH

I

n addition to triggering vitamin D production, the sun may have other health benefits. University of Edinburgh researchers studied 24 healthy volunteers that used lamps that produce ultraviolet A (UVA) light mimicking the sun’s UVA rays, compared with similar lamps that only produce heat. Two sessions under the UVA lamps significantly lowered blood pressure and boosted nitric oxide levels in the blood. The latter is linked to better circulation. The scientists concluded that the combined effect may help prevent heart disease.

According to Scott Tips, president and legal counsel for the National Health Federation (NHF), harmonized global standards are enabling overall reduced vitamin and mineral levels in pill and food form. In February, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) proposed changes to both the current Nutrition Facts panel on food labels and Supplement Facts panel on dietary supplement labels that prompt concern. “While the food industry, media and general public focus on the proposed format changes, new wording and label design, there’s a danger to our health in the FDA harmonizing our Reference Daily Intake (RDI) of vitamin and mineral levels down to the extremely low levels of the Codex Alimentarius, which our organization has fought against for more than a decade,� advises Tips. Although a few RDIs have been raised, if the proposed rulemaking is adopted, the NHF anticipates that the FDA will work to conform other recommended nutrient values to those of Codex. Support for this projection is based on an October 11, 1995, FDA pronouncement in the Federal Register to harmonize its food laws with those of the rest of the world. The deadline for citizens to submit comments to the FDA ended on June 2, but we can still write to the Division of Dockets Management (HFA-305), Food and Drug Administration, 5360 Fishers Lane, Rm. 1061, Rockville, MD 20852. Mention Docket No. FDA-2012-N-1210 and insist that the FDA cease pushing its harmonization agenda. For more information, visit Tinyurl.com/NHFCaseForNutrients.

ADHD Success with a Whole Child Approach by Gayle Wilson

B

rain Balance Achievement Center of Cincinnati is one of more than 50 national centers that has helped thousands of 4-to17-year-olds with neurobehavioral and learning difficulties reach their full academic, social and behavioral potential. Families receive individualized, non-medical approaches that help address symptoms related to ADD/ADHD, dyslexia, Tourette’s, Asperger’s, autism spectrum disorders and other developmental concerns. The Center’s core program is based on research by Dr. Robert Melillo, co-founder of Brain Balance and an internationally known lecturer, author, educator, researcher and clinician in neurology, rehabilitation, neuropsychology and neurobehavioral disorders in children. Melillo was part of a research team that uncovered dramatic improvements in a controlled study that is now the foundation of the Center’s proprietary, multimodal, hemispheric-based program for children with ADD and ADHD. The study appeared in the International Journal of Adolescent Medicine and Health and involved 122 children ages 6 to 12. All study subjects were diagnosed with ADD or ADHD; 94 were male, 28 female and all were of average intelligence. Prior to the study, each participant completed a variety of tests, including a Wechsler Individual Achievement Test (WIAT). The study’s intervention was Brain Balance’s 12-week program of 60-minute sessions, three times per week. Sessions included sen-

sory stimulation, motor training, aerobic strength and conditioning and academic training. Results were evaluated by comparing preand post-intervention standardized academic achievement, motor coordination and function scores, as well as reassessment on the Brown Scale for ADD/ADHD. Eighty-one percent of the parents of the children tested reported their child no longer exhibited ADD/ ADHD behaviors. The achievement subtests on the WIAT improved as well—as dramatically as two to four grade levels in reading, comprehension, written and oral expression, and mathematic reasoning. A summary of the study can be found at BrainBalanceCenters.com. Based on the research findings, the Center’s 12-week educational program integrates physical and cognitive activities with dietary modifications. Its goal is improved functioning and reduced or eliminated negative behav-

iors by correcting underlying imbalances in the connections within the brain hemispheres. To help strengthen brain connections, the program follows the same three-pillar approach used in the research study. Each child that enters the program works closely with a neuro-academic teacher on a cognitive activity plan. These highly trained teachers support and evaluate the children as they go through cognitive activity sessions. Next, a sensory-motor instructor guides and motivates the child in appropriate activities. The third pillar is a nutrition coach that reviews laboratory tests, designs long-term dietary plans, educates students and parents about nutrition and health and instructs parents in label reading and food shopping. Nutritional adjustments may be recommended depending on food sensitivity test findings. What Greg Marischen, the executive director of Brain Balance Achievement Center of Cincinnati, wants parents to understand most is, “With the Center’s program and family support, we can start children on the path to success.” Location: 12084 Montgomery Rd., Cincinnati.

MINDFUL WELLNESS Using Thermography to See Into the Body by Lucy Moorman and Gayle Wilson

I

n the way that ultrasound revolutionized how women experience pregnancy, thermography offers a different way to see what’s going on within the body. With widespread concerns about radiation exposure from mammograms and other X-rays, this safe, radiationfree screening method helps diagnose and document many diseases. Its imaging can provide information about what is occurring in the body based on an intricate map of skin receptors and blood flow. Jacky Groenewegen, a certified thermography technician and owner of Mindful Wellness Medical Thermography, in West Chester, Ohio, uses a multidisciplinary approach to wellness and the treatment of pain and dysfunction. A licensed massage therapist since 2005, she opened a thermography lab in January 2014 after extensive training through the Professional Academy of Clinical Thermology (PACT). Groenewegen says, “The most exciting thing about thermography is that it is completely safe and painless. It works without compression or radiation and can show breast abnormalities earlier than any other test.” Annual thermograms are recommended starting at age 20 to establish a baseline and closely monitor changes over time. This proactive wellness approach enables monitoring

of responses the body has to various treatments. For anyone that winced while their soft breast tissue was pushed, prodded and squished between two screens of glass, thermography is an excellent alternative to breast cancer screening. It uses heat detection via an infrared camera to locate areas of temperature differences. Many diseases such as cancer, heart disease, diabetes, stroke and arthritis cause an increase or decrease in temperature. Breast disease can be detected by looking for areas of excessive or increasing heat (inflammation) that could be the result of blood vessels feeding a growing tumor. Inflammation is considered a primary indicator that our bodies are trying to fix something, and fevers are symptoms of many diseases. Thermography is the only system that allows us to view inflammation and congestion in the body in this way. Thermography is used for breast health screening, thyroid dysfunction, lymphatic congestion, vascular and nervous system disorders, abdominal inflammation, muscle disorders and more. It is used for both men and women and has been available since the 1950s. It was cleared by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 1982. Although it is not currently covered by insurance, most health savings and

flex spending accounts will completely cover the cost. Thermography is around $250, with a full-body scan averaging $499. Groenewegen states, “A University of Wisconsin study found 70 percent of tumors can be identified by thermography eight to 10 years before a mammogram. This gives almost a decade head start to take control and seriously address or reverse a health issue. This can be profoundly empowering, allowing an individual to make lifestyle changes to fully address a health threat. The Cincinnati area is sorely under-serviced in thermography, so the opportunity to provide it to the community excited me.” Scans are quick and convenient and interpreted by three board-certified PACT doctors, including Dr. Alexander Sepper, a gynecologist with more than 30 years of experience and a Ph.D. in thermology. After a scan, the patient receives a report that consists of the doctors’ detailed interpretations of the images and recommendations. The patient can then choose to review all or some of the results with their chosen practitioner(s). “It’s important to have a wellness team assist along the way,” says Groenewegen. In addition to thermography, Groenewegen is also trained in several other modalities, such as massage and healing touch that work with the lymphatic system, soft tissue and mind/ body therapies.

rom epidemic childhood obesity and rising rates of autism and food allergies to the growing risks of pesticides and climate change, we have many reasons to be concerned about the American food system. Fortunately, many heroes among us—family farmers, community gardeners, visionaries and activists—are striving to create a safer and healthier environment now that will benefit future generations. Recognizing and celebrating their stellar Earth stewardship in this 2014 International Year of Family Farmers, Natural Awakenings is spotlighting examples of

Doug Crabtree and Anna JonesCrabtree, of Vilicus Farms, in Havre, Montana, are reviving crop biodiversity and pollinator habitat on their organic farm in northern Montana. “We strive to farm in a manner that works in concert with nature,” Doug explains. The couple’s actions live up to their farm’s Latin name, which means “steward”. They grow 15 nourishing crops on 1,200 acres, including flax, buckwheat, sunflower, safflower, spelt, oats, barley and lentils, without pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilizers. By imitating natural systems, planting diverse crops and avoiding damaging chemical inputs, they are attracting diverse native pollinators, he notes. Their approach to farming helps protect area groundwater, streams, rivers and even oceans for future generations. Dick and Diana Dyer, of Dyer Family Organic Farm, in Ann Arbor, Michigan, finally realized their lifelong

dream to farm in 2009, each at the age of 59. The couple grows more than 40 varieties of garlic on 15 acres; they also grow hops and care for honeybees. In addition, they provide hands-in-the-soil training to a new generation of dietetic interns across the country through their School to Farm program, in association with the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. Diana, a registered dietitian, teaches her students to take the, “We are what we eat” adage a step further. She believes, we are what we grow. “Like nearly everyone else, most dietetic students are disconnected from Mother Earth, the source of the food they eat. They don’t learn the vital connections between soil, food and health,” says Diana. During a stay on the Dyer farm, she explains, “The students begin to understand how their food and nutrition recommendations to others can help drive an entire agricultural system that promotes and protects our soil and water, natural resources and public health.” It all aligns with practicing their family farm motto: Shaping our future from the ground up. Mary Jo and Luverne Forbord, of Prairie Horizons Farm, in Starbuck, Minnesota, raise Black Angus cattle, grazed on certified organic, restored, native prairie pastures. Mary Jo, a registered dietitian, welcomes dietetic students to the 480-acre farm to learn where food comes from and how to grow it without the pesticides that contribute to farmers’ higher risk for certain cancers. “We must know the true cost of cheap food,” she insists. Most recently, they planted an organic orchard in memory of their son,

Don Lareau and Daphne Yannakakis, of Zephyros Farm and Garden, in Paonia, Colorado, grow exquisite organic flowers and vegetables for farmers’ markets and community supported agriculture members in Telluride and the Roaring Fork Valley. Recently, the couple decided to take fewer trips away from their children and homestead, and instead bring more people to their 35-acre family farm to learn from the land and develop a refreshed sense of community. From earthy farm dinners and elegant weddings to creative exploration camps for children and adults and an educational internship program, these family farmers are raising a new crop of consumers that value the land, their food and the people producing it. The couple hopes to help people learn how to grow and prepare their own food, plus gain a greater appreciation for organic farming. “The people that come here fall into a farming lifestyle in tune with the sun and moon, the seasons and their inner clock—something valuable that has been lost in modern lifestyles,� notes Lareau, who especially loves sharing the magic of their farm with children. “Kids are shocked when they learn that carrots grow underground and surprised that milk comes from an udder, not a store shelf.� Klaas and Mary-Howell Martens, of Lakeview Organic Grain, in Penn Yan, New York, grow a variety of grains, including wheat, spelt, barley, oats and triticale, plus peas, dark red kidney beans and edamame soybeans, along with raising livestock on about 1,400 acres. Their family farm philosophy entails looking at the world through a lens of abundance, rather than scarcity, and working in cooperation with their neighbors instead of in competition. The result has been a groundswell of thriving organic farmers

and a renewed sense of community and economic strength throughout their region. The Martens switched to organic farming after Klaas experienced partial paralysis due to exposure to pesticides, compounded by concern for the health of their three children. Because the Martens work in alliance with nature, they’ve learned to ask a unique set of questions. For example, when Klaas sees a weed, he doesn’t ask, “What can we spray to kill it?� but, “What was the environment that allowed the weed to grow?�

Anne Mosness, in Bellingham, Washington, began fishing for wild salmon with her father during one summer after college. The experience ignited a sense of adventure that led her back to Alaska for nearly three decades, as a crew member and then a captain in the Copper River and Bristol Bay fisheries. During that time, Mosness became a passionate advocate for protecting coastal communities and ecosystems. “Like farm families on land, fishing families face many risks and uncertainties,� but she believes, “political forces may be even more damaging to our livelihoods and wild fish.� For example, “We are replicating some of the worst practices of factory farming on land in our marine environment with diseases, parasites and voluminous amounts of pollution flushing into our coastal waters,� explains Mosness. She’s also concerned about the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s potential approval of genetically engineered (GMO) fish without adequate health and environmental assessments, and she works to support GMO labeling so consumers can make informed choices in the marketplace.

Demystifying the Paleo Diet by Chandler Stevens

A

new diet trend seems to sweep the country every year, but the newest diet is actually old. The paleo diet (also primal diet or caveman diet) unlike many of its counterparts, appears to be more than a fad. While it is not without critics, there are numerous stories of individuals losing weight, gaining muscle and treating disease by following its precepts. Although there are many paleo diet variations, all are based on three key pillars:

Avoid processed food and added sugar According to the Harvard School of Public Health, the typical American consumes nearly 22 teaspoons of added sugar every day. This adds up to nearly 350 daily calories devoid of any nutritional value. Over time, that can have drastic effects that may range from cardiovascular problems to impaired cognitive function. An easy way to transition to a paleo lifestyle is to avoid added sugar (much coming from processed foods) for one to three weeks. Even in this short time frame, many individuals report improved energy, better sleep and weight loss.

Avoid grains The proteins found in grains (including the infamous gluten) and lectins (plants’ natural chemical defenses) can have a negative effect on the body by damaging the digestive tract. The consequences of an impaired digestive tract are twofold; impaired nutrient absorption and microtrauma (caused by plant lectins) that may hinder the gut lining’s ability to repair itself. The resulting damage allows fecal matter to enter the bloodstream and leads to systemic inflammation and potential autoimmune issues. Grain avoidance

includes wheat products such as pasta and bread, as well as other grains such as oats, rice, rye and corn.

Avoid dairy Homo sapiens is the only species that consumes milk beyond infancy. The biological role of dairy in mammals is to spur growth, so negative consequences of mature mammals consuming dairy products is a concern. Additionally, dairy consumption has been epidemiologically linked to numerous conditions ranging from acne to cancer, according to a 2009 study in Dermato-Endocrinology. While epidemiological studies do not prove causation, it is important to consider the possible link. If dairy is consumed with the paleo diet, it is recommended to come from grass-fed cattle. With the avoidance of added sugar, processed foods, grains and dairy, we might wonder what foods remain as the focus of the paleo diet. The answer is nutrient-dense fruits and vegetables, with an emphasis on organic produce. While high in nutrients, these foods are low in calories, making it difficult to overeat. The majority of paleo diet calories come from meat and other animal products. The goal is to eat natural, whole foods, so animals and animal products should be grass-fed, pastured or wild-caught. The paleo diet is relatively high in fat (60 to 70 percent of calories), moderate in protein (20 to 30 percent), and low in carbohydrates (less than 20 percent), which causes hesitation for many people. Despite American’s demonization of fat (especially saturated fat), a recent article in the British Medical Journal makes the case that saturated fat is not a major issue in the battle against heart disease. Our focus on saturated fat has led to a near-fanatical obsession

with total cholesterol, resulting in new guidelines that may make upwards of 13 million more Americans eligible for cholesterol-lowering statin prescriptions (bumping users from 43.2 million currently to a potential 56 million), according to the National Institutes of Health. While statins may be necessary for some, we must ask if a life fueled by prescription drugs should be the new norm, when changes in diet and lifestyle may provide a viable and natural alternative. We should consult a doctor or healthcare provider before making a major dietary shift and consider the advantages and disadvantages of any diet. The agricultural and industrial revolutions have afforded us tremendous advances in medicine and science, but it is difficult to determine what the long-term health effects of our modern diets and lifestyle may be. It is possible that these advances have come at a cost in quality of life. Perhaps it is time to bridge the gap between ancestral health and modern nutritional science with the paleo diet.

Essential Oils for Summer Healing Fragrances for Bites, Allergies and Sunburn by Kathleen Barnes

suggests Jones. Undiluted lavender is also a great remedy for insect bites, says Tisserand. “You can stop the pain of a bee sting in 20 seconds with a few drops.” Chamomile, either the German or Roman variety, helps with rashes, according to Jones, especially when mixed with her summertime favorite, aloe vera gel. She recommends mugwort oil for poison oak or poison ivy, a benefit affirmed by animal research from the Korea Institute of Oriental Medicine’s Herbal Medicine Formulation Research Group.

A breath of sweet lavender oil can quickly reduce stress. A whiff of Allergy Relief lemon oil can energize us. During hay fever season, several aroma-

ssential oils are not magic or folklore. There is solid science behind them,” says Elizabeth Jones, founder of the College of Botanical Healing Arts, in Santa Cruz, California. Here’s what happens after inhaling lavender, the most popular of all essential oils: The cilia—microscopic cellular fibers in the nose—transport the aroma to the olfactory bulb at the bottom of the brain, from where it proceeds to the limbic brain and directly affects the nerves, delivering a soothing effect. “Or put it on your skin and other properties of essential oils are absorbed straight into the bloodstream,” advises Jones, author of Awaken to Healing Fragrance. Thai studies show that a whiff of lavender oil is calming and lowers blood pressure and heart rate, yet there are many more benefits attributed to the art and science of aromatherapy and essential oils. For those struggling with summer maladies, here are several simple solutions essential oils can provide.

Minor Scrapes, Cuts and Blisters Tea tree oil (melaleuca) is tops, because it contains terpenes that kill staphylococcus and other nasty bacteria and works to prevent infection, according to a meta-analysis from the University of Western Australia. The researchers further suggest that tea tree oil may be used in some cases instead of antibiotics. Oregano and eucalyptus oils are likewise acknowledged for their natural abilities to eliminate infection-causing bacteria, fungi and viruses. “Blend all three for a synergistic effect,” says aromatherapy expert Robert Tisserand (RobertTisserand.com), of Ojai, California. “They sort of leapfrog over each other to penetrate the skin and cell walls.”

Sunburn, Bug Bites and Poison Ivy A small amount of undiluted lavender oil will cool sunburn fast, advises Tisserand. Add a few drops to a dollop of cooling aloe vera gel for extra relief and moisture,

therapy oils from a diffuser can offer relief, counsels Tisserand. He recommends eucalyptus, geranium and lavender oils, all of which contain antihistamines. Use them separately or blended. When using a diffuser, it’s not necessary to put the oils into a diluting carrier oil or gel. He notes that a steam tent containing 10 drops of each of the three oils mixed with two cups of boiling water is highly effective.

Sprains, Strains and Joint Pain Lessen inflammation and the pain from tendon and muscle sprains and strains with rosemary or peppermint, adding a dash of ginger for additional benefit, says Tisserand. He recommends rubbing the oils (diluted in a carrier) directly on the sore spot. Rosemary is particularly effective for bringing blood flow to an injury

Best Carriers Almost all essential oils are so strong that they must be diluted before use to prevent skin irritation. Use cold-pressed oils and mix 10 to 15 drops of essential oil per ounce of carrier substance. Some of the best carriers are almond oil, aloe vera gel, apricot oil, cocoa butter, glycerin, jojoba oil and olive oil.

site, and the menthol in peppermint is a great pain reliever, adds Jones. A Chinese study published in the European Journal of Pharmaceutics and Biopharmaceutics confirms the pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory abilities of peppermint oil. Researchers from Taiwan confirm that ginger is anti-inflammatory and can even reduce intense nerve pain. Jones believes that essential oils have a place in everyone’s medicine chest. “Sometimes I feel like David up against Goliath,� she remarks. “I encourage everyone to use natural healing products from plants instead of pharmaceutical drugs, the side effects of which actually diminish the body’s natural ability to heal.�

used to treat restlessness, anxiety, sleep problems (insomnia) and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Valerian Root (Valeriana officinalis) Since the early days of Greece and Rome, Valerian was prescribed as a medicinal herb to treat insomnia. It was used to treat nervousness, trembling, headaches, and heart palpitations. Rhodiola (Rhodiola rosea) This is an adaptogenic herb because it acts in non-specific ways to increase resistance to stress without disturbing normal biological functions. For centuries, Rhodiola root has been used worldwide in traditional medicine. It enhances mental clarity and cognitive function.

It is a recommended remedy for people who are frequently fatigued, weak, stressed, and affected by repeated colds and flu. St. John’s Wort (Hypericum perforatum) This herb, with anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and antiviral properties, has a long history of being used as a medicine. In ancient Greece, it was used for a range of illnesses, including various “nervous disorders.” St. John’s wort is one of the most commonly purchased herbs in the United States for treating depression. It is believed that hypericin, in St. John’s Wort, helps to raise the levels of dopamine and serotonin in the brain to improve mood.

Forsaking ‘Angry Birds’ for Bird Songs

CAMPING TURNS KIDS INTO NATURE LOVERS by Avery Mack

“

W

hether urban or rural, children in our state average 4.5 minutes outdoors and four hours in front of a screen every day,” says Barbara Erickson, president of The Trustees of Reservations conservation nonprofit, in Sharon, Massachusetts. One way to disconnect kids from

electronics is to go camping. Such educational, fresh air exercise is inclusive and inexpensive. David Finch, superintendent of the Dunes Edge Campground, in Provincetown, Massachusetts, suggests borrowed gear for the first outing. A backyard campout can be a rewarding trial run; each child can

ask a friend to stay over and a parent and the family dog can participate. Once kids have the hang of sleeping somewhere outside their own bedroom, consider an overnight program at a local or regional zoo. Kids get a kick out of watching the animals and learning about their behaviors, diets and habitats. The Toledo Zoo, in Ohio, offers Snooze at the Zoo, including a pizza dinner, breakfast and admission the next day. Children sleep near one of the exhibits or in a safari tent. The program teaches animal adaptations, food chains and ecosystems and meets requirements for scout badges in a fun setting. The Irvine Nature Center, in Owings Mills, Maryland, near Baltimore, offers a rich outdoor experience. Organizers provide food, activities and camping equipment. Children first attend a fire safety class, and then help cook a meal and make s’mores. At night, participants learn how to mimic owl hoots and practice their new skills, often receiving hoots in return. Night walks sometimes include sightings of deer, bats or flying squirrels, while morning walks showcase groundhogs and birds. Jean Gazis, with the women’s and girls’ rights nonprofit Legal Momentum, in Brooklyn, New York, observes, “It’s easier to camp with small, even tiny, children, than with older kids. Babies are portable.” She recalls taking her 7-week-old infant along and nostalgically comments, “Now that the

“It’s not how fast and how far you go, it’s what you see, smell, touch and listen to along the way. You might move only five feet in 15 minutes, but what you see and discuss will help children grow into respectful explorers and lifelong campers. Take photos and bring a journal; a child’s adventures are the best keepsakes.”

of Get Your Kids Hiking, suggests, “Start them young and keep it fun. Get the kids involved in the planning. My kids have gone along since they were born. We stayed at a lodge when they were small because little trekkers have a lot of gear. During the day we were out in the park exploring, always keeping in mind that kids tire out fast.” His mandatory equipment includes good walking shoes, sunscreen and bug spray. Adhering to such rules as never leave the trail or wander off and don’t pick flowers or touch animals is non-negotiable. Stephanie Wear, a biologist for The Nature Conservancy, working in Beaufort, South Carolina, has found that it’s easy to make the experience lively. “We like to do observational scavenger hunts—find the flower, the mushroom or the tree that looks like a picture and make a list of what you see. Getting out in nature sharpens observation skills, boosts creativity and improves physical and mental health,” she says. Wear notes that her kids have listed 70 forms of life in the family’s backyard alone. Visit a local park or NatureRocks.org to take part in more activities and explore different locations. “Nature presents a great parenting tool,” she remarks. Summertime camping helps every member of the family unplug, unwind and wander along new paths.

~ Stephanie Rach, founder of the Let’s Go Chipper play-based learning program, in Corte Madera, CA kids are 11 and 14, they don’t have as much free time.” Drive-up camping in a state park that offers facilities and planned activities sets up a good time. Gazis feels that a destination four hours away is the limit for car trips with small children. She advises giving everyone duties. “My young son once had a great time digging a ditch around the tent when it began to rain,” she recalls. “He kept the sleeping bags dry and got to play in the mud.” Jeff Alt, of Cincinnati, Ohio, author

Leave No Trace ✔ Know the rules beforehand and be ready for inclement weather. ✔ Travel and camp on durable surfaces. Use existing trails. ✔ Dispose of waste properly. ✔ Leave plants undisturbed. ✔ Minimize campfire impacts. ✔ Use a lightweight stove instead of a fire. ✔ Respect wildlife. Do not follow, feed or approach animals. ✔ Keep dogs tethered so they can’t chase or harm wildlife. ✔ Be courteous to other visitors (no loud music). Happily share the trail and experiences.

moothies offer big nutrition in a small package. Based on a vegan source of lean protein like coconut milk or yogurt, soy, chia seeds or a vegan protein powder made from dried beans or hemp, they can energize us for a full day of summer activities. Other ingredients follow the peak of summer crops. Berries, greens, melon, tomatoes, avocado, cucumber, celery, carrots and stone fruits like peaches and mangoes add antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals. A tablespoon or two of milled flax seeds, hemp or nut butter adds richness to the flavor, while providing omega-3 fatty acids necessary for complete nutrition. For the finale, add a touch of sweetness from fruits, maple syrup, agave nectar or stevia. The best way to mix a smoothie is to start with either a liquid or an ingredient with a thicker consistency,

like yogurt, placed in a standard or high-speed performance blender. Next, add the desired fruits or vegetables and flavorings, followed by ice. Start on a slower speed, holding down the lid tightly, before increasing the speed to achieve a velvety texture. If the smoothie is too thin, add more frozen fruit or ice. Freezing the fruits first and then blending them into a smoothie can substitute for ice. Peeling bananas before freezing them makes smoothie-making easier. Freezing the fruits in recipe-size portions also simplifies the process. Smooth-fleshed fruits like mangoes, papayas, bananas, ripe peaches and nectarines blend more easily to a silky finish than do fresh berries. Tender, baby greens such as spinach, kale or chard virtually disappear within a smoothie; if using mature, rather than baby greens, cut out the stems unless the blender is extremely powerful.

Blending enough ingredients for two smoothies can yield a leftover serving to store in a reusable glass jar in the refrigerator. To reactivate the full taste later, just turn over the jar and give it a good shake to re-blend the ingredients. Spirulina (made from a microsaltwater plant) and wheatgrass juice and powder are some popular smoothie additions. Milled flax seeds add healthy fat, but their water-soluble fiber also adds a little bulk; although the tex-

ture difference isn’t noticeable if the smoothie is enjoyed right away, it will be apparent if it sits for 20 minutes or more. With the whir of a blender—and no cooking—summer’s tastiest bounty transforms into at-home or on-the-go beverages to revive, replenish and renew us so we’re ready for our next adventure.

Ginger Glazed Mahi Mahi Prep Time: 5 minutes Cook Time: 12 minutes Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients 3 Tbsp honey (preferably local) 3 Tbsp Tamari soy sauce or Bragg’s Amino Acids 3 Tbsp balsamic vinegar 1 tsp freshly grated fresh ginger root

Healthy Tip

Directions 1. In a shallow glass dish, stir the honey, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, ginger, garlic and olive oil together. Season fish fillets with salt and pepper, and place them into the dish. If the fillets have skin, place the skin side down. Cover and refrigerate for 20 minutes to marinate. 2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Remove fish from the dish, and put the marinade aside to save. Fry fish for 4 to 6 minutes on each side, turning only once, until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove fillets to a serving platter and keep warm.

Eating local honey may gradually expose the body to low concentrations of local pollen spores that act as allergens. This can sometimes help the body to build immunity to the offending spores.

TRAILS A Pathway to Healthy Living by Kimberly Whitton

W

hen one yearns for exhilarating outdoor exercise, there are a few reliable things that can inspire that first step: a sunny blue sky, a gentle breeze and ideal temperatures. Even under idyllic conditions, the process of selecting an ideal trail to enjoy one’s run, walk, bike or hike in a natural setting can be a roadblock for some fitness seekers. Great Parks of Hamilton County offers plenty of guidance. With more than 70 miles of trails in 21 parks and preserves throughout the county, enjoying a nearby trail is easy. Connecting to nature with a hike or trail run on the nearly 20 miles of nature trails is a rustic exercise journey with a bonus of natural views and wildlife. The longest nearby nature trails are the Little Turtle Trail at Shawnee Lookout on the west side of Cincinnati and the Trout Lily Trail at Withrow Nature Preserve on the east side. Both offer a two-mile, moderate-level experience. Sturdy shoes are advised. Paved trails are a popular park feature because they allow easy accessibility and stability. Great Parks offers more than 22 miles of these trail types which are perfectly designed for a solid run, walk or even a bike ride (in most parks). For avid walkers, runners or cyclists, three locations provide access to the beautiful 78-mile Little Miami Scenic Trail that runs from Springfield to Newtown, Ohio. Access is possible via the Little Miami Golf Center, Bass Island and Avoca Trailhead on the east side. For an extra health incentive on a walk or run, parcours trails can be just what’s needed for a break from a boring

exercise routine. There are a variety of exercise stations along the route that offer stretching, chin-ups and sit-up options that are sure to burn extra calories. Parcours trails are located at Embshoff Woods, Miami Whitewater Forest, Sharon Woods, Triple Creek, Winton Woods and Woodland Mound. For the more adventurous types that enjoy mountain biking or trail running, the mountain bike trail at Mitchell Memorial Forest is a great destination. This eight-mile, mostly tree-shaded trail offers moderate to steep terrain with some technical features designed to meet International Mountain Biking Association standards. Whether it’s hiking up a hill, biking through the woods or just a casual walk around a lake, participating in outdoor activities enriches the mind, body and soul. Kimberly Whitton is marketing communication coordinator for Great Parks of Hamilton County. For more information, visit GreatParks.org.

Step It Up! Trail Challenge

F

or extra motivation to get outdoors, consider taking part in the free 2014 Step It Up! Trail Challenge. This self-guided program continues through September 1, 2014, and features a trails e-guidebook and an online trail log that helps track the five of seven available trails that are needed to complete the challenge. The trails are carefully selected at different parks and offer a variety of environments such as prairies, lakes and forests to add fun and adventure to an exercise routine. Those that complete the challenge are invited to Sharon Woods on Sunday, September 21, from noon to 4 p.m. for the Take a Walk in the Park event. Trail Challenge graduates will receive a free T-Shirt for their efforts and the unique opportunity to walk, run or ride through the park on Buckeye Falls Drive. The park road will be closed to vehicle traffic and will allow guests to enjoy a part of the park they typically wouldn’t have access to. The event will feature health and wellness vendors, exercise classes, activities, demonstrations and more. For more information about the Step It Up! Trail Challenge and Take a Walk in the Park event, visit GreatParks.org

Natural Awakenings Celebrates 20 Years of Conscious Living

Read What People Are Saying About Natural Awakenings Natural Awakenings provides helpful information on natural health and environmental issues with a consistently positive perspective and tone, which is not always easy considering how serious and intimidating some of these topics are. It’s a rarity. ~ Sayer Ji, founder, GreenMedInfo.com

Publications like Natural Awakenings reach many people and I’m so glad to be able to share a voice beyond the propaganda. ~ Melinda Hemmelgarn, Food Sleuth

I have changed so much over the last year finally realizing that life is so much bigger than me. I love this Earth and all the wonders that are a part of it, and your magazine contributes to my appreciation.

~ Theresa Sutton, Connecticut

It is unusual to see your level of writing and consciousness in a free publication. Thanks for a great work. ~ Kaih Khriste’ King, Arizona

Natural Awakenings magazine is the only advertising I use for my practice other than word of mouth referrals and it has brought us new patients consistently especially now that we advertise monthly. The quality of the leads is great and we really enjoy helping the holistic-minded patient. The publisher is great to work with and truly wants to see the business succeed. We plan on always advertising with Natural Awakenings and expanding our presence in the magazine. ~ Cate Vieregger, DDS, Colorado
