letter from the publisher

Choose to Age Vibrantly

M

y husband, Jim, and I are careful about what we eat, we exercise regularly and take our supplements. We accept many of the signs of aging, including a little stubborn weight gain, laugh lines and graying hair. Many of these changes are indicators of a life well lived and signs of earned wisdom. But when it comes to saggy droopy skin, that makes us want to turn back the clock!

“No matter which path we follow to aging vibrantly, the most inspiring takeaway is that lifestyle, not genes, determines destiny,” says Marlaina Donato in our feature article Growing Younger: Longevity Strategies That Help Reverse the Aging Process [page 20]. That’s great news. As someone who embraces leafy greens, vegetables, and tasty detox smoothies, I like the idea that my choices can positively contribute to the aging process.

Danato explains that until recently, age was determined by the year on our birth certificate, but “bio age” is the new number to pay attention to. “Bio age is how fast our bodies are aging, and aging is the main risk factor for all diseases, including Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia and neurodegenerative disorders,” says Kara Fitzgerald, a naturopathic doctor and the author of Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better.

She notes that only 10 to 20 percent of longevity outcomes are genetic. We work with our functional medicine doctor to keep tabs on physical indicators that can help direct our supplements and lifestyle choices. It is reassuring to learn that lifestyle is 80-90% of the longevity equation.

In this issue, we offer ideas and tips for inspired living. Drying food is the oldest known method of food preservation. Learn how with Food Dehydration Made Easy [page 24]. In honor of Yoga Awareness Month, you’ll find advice for getting started in How a yoga practice can keep us young in Aging Gracefully [page 26]. For the furry members of the family, discover top supplements for dogs and cats in Healthier Pets [page 28]. And our online exclusives at my-NA.com offer natural strategies to help halt headache pain and wisdom from mind-body physician Lissa Rankin on the mysteries of healing. I hope that this issue inspires you to try a few new lifestyle choices that can support you for a long time to come.

Here’s to aging vibrantly!

Holistic Nutritionist Provides Digestive Solutions

S

herry Brescia, MSHN, can relate to those who are suffering from digestive issues.

She is a holistic nutritionist, national speaker and author who has studied the relationship between nutrition, digestion, and health for the past 22 years. Her focus on this field of health began out of necessity as she suffered for 15 years with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). As a result, she was able to resolve her daily symptoms of gas, bloating, diarrhea and/or constipation.

Now she is passionate about helping others with her signature Nutritional & Digestive Health Coaching System.

During the sessions, Brescia works individually with clients to address the underlying factors that are contributing to digestive issues. “This is crucial because everyone is different and there are many possible causes and contributing factors behind digestive problems,” explains Brescia. “My coaching is carefully tailored to your specific needs, so we can pave the way for your success!”

During the sessions, topics will include diet, medications, lifestyle, stress level and more. “All of these play into your digestive and overall health, and we will pinpoint and help you counteract the issues that are preventing you from feeling as good as you should,” says Brescia.

Brescia feels her personal experience helps her relate to what her clients are experiencing in a safe, non-judgmental environment.

Schedule a free, no-pressure, 30-minute initial consultation by calling 888-724-4366 or visit HolisticBlends.com.

Thai Foot Reflexology Weekend Course in Indialantic

A

quarian Dreams is pleased to host a weekend course in Thai foot reflexology. It will be held on September 17-18 and is open to everyone. Thai foot reflexology is a powerful healing tool that can be implemented on its own, or as an addition to full-body massage; however, no prior massage experience is necessary to be educated in this methodology.

The workshop will be led by Ariela Grodner who runs her own Thai massage school in Gainesville and has published nine books on this subject. Students will learn to give an hour-long session on the feet alone, while still affecting the whole body through aware stimulation of the sen lines and marma points. They will utilize both dry and wet massage (with and without oil), as well as, a Thai foot stick to glide the lines and press the points with greater accuracy and precision than the hands alone could provide.

Location: Aquarian Dreams, 414 N. Miramar Ave (Hwy A1A), Indialantic. 14 CEUs for massage therapists. For more information, visit BodhiSangha.com. Cost: $250. Class size limited, pre-registration recommended. To register, call 321-729-9495 or visit AquarianDreams.com. See ad, page 3.

Frequency Fridays at the Elliot Museum

D

eena Rahill is a Certified Sound Practitioner, member of the Sound Healing Association, and owner of HI Mindfulness Forums. She has been finetuning her craft for many years, resulting in sessions that are a unique experience for each participant.

Using crystal singing bowls, chimes, gongs, and other ancient sound instruments, Rahill assists participants in shifting their bodies’ energies to a higher, healthier frequency. “I’ve been offering vibrational sound baths at the Elliot Museum on Tuesdays and Sundays for quite some time now,” explains Rahill. “This past July, despite being the Treasure Coast’s usual ‘off season’, it became apparent that I needed to add an additional weekly session to ensure everyone has plenty of space to relax into.”

Rahill shares that sound therapy has ancient roots across the globe and in diverse cultures. “In Australia, for example, aboriginal tribes have used the didgeridoo as a sound healing instrument for over 40,000 years.

The weekly sessions are to encourage a downshift of the nervous system leaving participants relaxed with an overall feeling of contentment and eventually harmony, through a retuning of each individual’s natural frequency.

Frequency Friday sessions are offered from 1 to 2:15 p.m. To view the calendar or book online, visit SoundVibration.net. For more information on individual or group sessions, call 786-488-7782. Sessions are held in the Elliott Museum, 825 NE Ocean Blvd, Stuart.

Awaken Your Intuitive Abilities in New Zoom Series

T

ess, the Treasure Coast Medium is launching a Spiritual Studies series via Zoom just in time for back-to-school. The series kicks off with the fundamental topic, 7 Key Ways to Awaken Your Intuitive Abilities, on September 14 at 6:30 p.m. This is the first step to nurturing inner guidance awareness, and each experience builds on the next.

“We are all born with a sixth sense and level of awareness. It can be nurtured to expand our consciousness to include other dimensions of reality,” says Tess Tetrault. “The spirit realm is full of Angels and guides that only exist to help us. By awakening this part of us, our life can enfold joyfully for us with guided actions, instead of happening haphazardly and then reacting to what shows up.”

Tetrault is also continuing her inperson Group Message Circle in Stuart on Wednesday, September 28 at 6:30 p.m. The event is a group experience and Tetrault will channel loved ones for an hour or more. Not everyone receives a personal message, but all will be touched by the spirit people who show up. The event is different each month.

5 5 Simple Steps to Reduce Your Breast Cancer Risk

by Kristen Barry, Ph.D., CTT

B

reast cancer has been on the rise; in fact, 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer at some point in their life. The good news is that there are steps women can take to reduce their risk of developing breast cancer. Dr. Susan Wadia-Ellis, author of Busting Breast Cancer, compiled 12 years of research and studies which resulted in five key preventative steps women can take to fight off cancer. These steps help to empower women with the knowledge and information needed to make educated decisions about their own lives. Based on Dr. Ellis’s findings, here are recommendations to reduce the risk of breast cancer.

Eat good fats to lose fat and keep mitochondria healthy.

Emerging evidence shows that cancer cells are a result of mutations caused by damage to the mitochondria. Prevention through lifestyle choices is key.

Eating healthy fats and limiting harmful fats in the body is a positive step in limiting breast cancer risk.

Engage mammogram alternatives. Mammograms can lead to overdiagnosis and overtreatment with Stage 0/Ductal Carcinoma In Situ (DCIS). While made to help detect and fight against breast cancer, mammograms and medication are not designed to prevent it. Choose self-exams, clinical exams, thermography, ultrasound and MRI. Cleanse the brain and body daily. With normal aging comes cellular congestion and inflammation. Detoxing the body with probiotics and prebiotics can stimulate digestion, in turn supporting the conversion of food to nutrients to energize cells. In addition, meditation is known to reduce stress which can protect your mitochondria.

Kristen Barry, owner of Space Coast Thermography, helps women monitor breast health with radiation-free and compressionfree thermography. Space Coast Thermography is located at 7125 Turner Rd, Suite 101 in Rockledge (off Suntree Blvd). For more information, call 321-574-9014 or visit SpaceCoastThermography.com.

Keep your vitamin d3 blood level above 60 nanograms per milliliter. This has been shown to decrease yearly breast cancer diagnoses by 80 percent.

Checking blood levels can be done by a physician, preferably twice a year.

Avoid birth control drugs and choose hormone-free options instead. Progestin, found in birth control drugs, can attack the mitochondria of the cell increasing breast cancer risk. Hormone-free IUDs are one such option.

Revised Supplement Formula Slows Macular Degeneration Age-related macular degeneration (AMD), the most common cause of blindness in older Americans, became less of a threat in 1996 when the national Age-Related Eye Disease Study (AREDS) verified that certain nutrients—beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E, copper and zinc—slowed its progression. But after other studies showed a link between beta-carotene and lung cancer, it was removed from the formula. Two carotenoids found in the retina—lutein and zeaxanthin— were added, and the formula was rebranded as AREDS2. In a new, 10-year, follow-up study by the National Eye Institute (NEI), AREDS2 was found to reduce late AMD symptoms an additional 20 percent compared to the original formula. “This 10-year data confirms that not only is the new formula safer, it’s actually better at slowing AMD progression,” says Emily Chew, M.D., lead author of the study and director of the NEI Division of Epidemiology and Clinical Application.

Seattle Providing Electric Vehicle Chargers on Utility Poles

Carbon Labels Cut Environmental Impact of Dining

Making changes while shopping at supermarkets, restaurants and with delivery apps can change minds about sustainable options and garner public support.

Psychologist Ann-Katrin Betz and her colleagues at Germany’s University of Würzburg studied the design of restaurant menus and tested how adding carbon labels indicating the greenhouse gas emissions per dish and changing the most prominent menu items to foods with a lower impact on the climate affected the choices people might make when dining out.

When people were given menus with the low-emission option as the default, the share of high-emission choices decreased by an average of 31.7 percent. When given menus with carbon labels, the emissions associated with their dish choices averaged 13.5 percent lower per dish.

Combining carbon labels with prominent placing for lowemission options appears to have the greatest effect.

Other strategies might include increasing the availability of plant-based options; making them more prominent elsewhere (the meat aisle); and renaming veggie options to make them sound more appealing (slow-roasted, butternut squash and seasonal vegetable lasagna versus vegetarian lasagna). Multiple practices are needed to persuade people to adopt sustainable diets, so all of these methods are just the beginning of a shift away from highemission food by overcoming unconscious barriers.

Marcio Isensee e Sá/AdobeStock.com

As people switch to electric vehicles (EV) to reduce their emissions, some homeowners and apartment dwellers without charging infrastructure are at a disadvantage. The city of Seattle set a goal to reduce transportation emissions 83 percent below 2008 levels by 2030, and to make things easier, they will install chargers on local utility poles on demand. Seattle City Light will conduct the project as part of a more extensive portfolio of transportation electrification investments and services to help the utility service area transition to zero-emission electric transportation options. Residents can accomplish some emission reductions with public transit, biking, walking and other options, but many still rely on personal vehicles for some trips.

The Curbside Level 2 EV charging program is available to anyone on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Hurricane-Resilient Wind Turbines Modeled After Palm Trees

Atlantic hurricanes pose risks to renewable energy wind turbines, and researchers at the University of ColoradoBoulder are developing more resilient models. Lucy Pao, the Palmer endowed chair in the Department of Electrical, Computer and Energy Engineering, says, “We are very much bio-inspired by palm trees, which can survive these hurricane conditions.”

Traditional upwind turbine blades face into the wind, so the blades must be stiff, which requires more material and increases cost. Blades on downwind rotors face away from the wind, with less chance of hitting the tower when the winds pick up, so they can be lighter and more flexible, requiring less material. Downwind blades can also bend, instead of break, like palm trees do.

Over the last six years, Pao’s team, in conjunction with collaborators at the University of Virginia, the University of Texas at Dallas, the Colorado School of Mines and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, have collaborated to develop the Segmented Ultralight Morphing Rotor turbine, a twobladed, downwind rotor, to test the concept in action. The researchers found that their turbine performed consistently and efficiently during periods of peak wind gusts. Mandar Phadnis, lead author of a study in Proceedings of the 2022 American Control Conference, says, “The blades are manufactured to be lightweight and very flexible, so they can align with the wind loads.”

GROWING YOUNGER LONGEVITY STRATEGIES THAT HELP REVERSE THE AGING PROCESS

by Marlaina Donato

L

ongevity, a human quest through the ages, is now a hot topic among scientific researchers that assert there has never been a better time to maximize our potential for metabolic renewal. Biological age—the state of our health at the cellular level—is in the spotlight, as are the anti-aging benefits of science-supported phytonutrients, cell-rejuvenating foods and safe, non-surgical, stem cell procedures.

Functional medicine, with its focus on the biology-based root causes of disease, is also a rising star in the arena of age reversal.

No matter which path we follow to aging vibrantly, the most inspiring takeaway is that lifestyle, not genes, determines destiny. “On average in the United States, the last 16 years of life are spent with multiple diagnoses and on multiple medications. We are giving our hard-earned money to pharmacies, hospitals and nursing facilities,” says Kara Fitzgerald, a naturopathic doctor in Newtown, Connecticut, and the author of Younger You: Reduce Your Bio Age and Live Longer, Better. She and other researchers contrast “lifespan”, the years from birth to death, to “healthspan”, the years spent in good health free of age-related disease and disability. “Lifespan is not necessarily healthspan, and we can change that,” she says.

Until recently, age was determined by the year on our birth certificate, but “bio age” is the new number to pay attention to. It might not only predict health outcomes down the road, but also add years to our lives. In groundbreaking work in 2017, anti-aging researcher Steven Horvath at the University of California, Los Angeles, used algorithms to calculate biological age on the basis of how extensively our genome is modified by a process called DNA methylation.

Researchers are now understanding what factors can turn on positive gene expressions and turn off those that may activate life-threatening diseases.

“Bio age is how fast our bodies are aging, and aging is the main risk factor for all diseases, including Type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, dementia and neurodegenerative 20

Age Is Not Just a Number

disorders,” says Fitzgerald, noting that only 10 to 20 percent of longevity outcomes are genetic.

Fitzgerald and her team drove this point home with the first randomized, controlled study on the power of lifestyle and diet to turn back the biological age clock. Based upon functional medicine, the program enrolled 18 healthy men between ages 50 and 72 in a target group and 20 in a control group. Those in the target group ate a nutrient-rich diet, slept seven hours a night, practiced relaxation techniques and took supplemental probiotics and phytonutrients. They ate only between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., exercised for at least 30 minutes five days a week, avoided sweets and consumed two cups of dark, leafy, greens and three cups each of cruciferous vegetables and colorful vegetables daily, as well as six ounces of animal protein.

The results, published last year in the journal Aging, showed that three years of bio age were reduced in the target group in just eight weeks compared to the control group. “What we eat, our stress load and our response to it, the quality of the air we breathe and if we exercise are all drivers or reducers of our bio age. Knowing this, we absolutely need to take responsibility for our lives,” says Fitzgerald.

This bio age reversal is good news when we look at the grim statistics. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the American Cancer Society, approximately 610,000 people die of heart disease in this country each year and more than 600,000 Americans are predicted to succumb to cancer this year alone.

metabolic processes essential to life, has been shown to rejuvenate aging mice, increasing energy-producing mitochondria in the cells and fortifying muscle mass. The body makes less NAD as we age, but research suggests that intermittent fasting, exercise and heat saunas can stimulate this youth-preserving molecule. NADboosting supplements are also on the market, but consuming foods like naturally fermented sauerkraut, raw milk, nutritional yeast and pumpkin seeds is also a good strategy.

SIRT6, an enzyme in close relationship with NAD and responsible for many molecular anti-aging processes, including DNA repair, is abundant in seaweeds, especially the strain Fucus vesiculosus, commonly known as bladder wrack. Research published in the journal Marine Drugs in 2017 indicates bladder wrack’s anti-inflammatory and anti-tumoral properties, as well as its potential to protect the liver and normalize high blood sugar and blood pressure.

Fisetin, a powerful flavonoid found in certain foods like strawberries, peaches, apples, persimmons, tomatoes, onions and cucumbers, rivals ever-beneficial quercetin.

Chronic systemic inflammation is now understood to be the physiological springboard for most diseases ranging from cancer to depression, but its connection to uric acid is critical in producing free radicals that accelerate aging. “Unfortunately, most doctors look upon uric acid solely as a risk marker for gout. We now recognize that uric acid serves as a powerful signal in the body to prepare for food and water scarcity,” says neurologist David Perlmutter, author of The New York Times bestseller Grain Brain and the recent Drop Acid, a guide to lowering uric acid in the body.

“Uric acid levels above 5.5 milligrams per decilitre trigger the body to raise the blood pressure, increase the blood sugar, become insulin-resistant and increase the formation and storage of body fat,” he says. “Central to regaining metabolic health and reducing risk for metabolic conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, coronary artery disease and Type 2 diabetes is reining in uric acid.”

Chronic, unmanaged stress is a major factor in physical and mental decline due to elevated levels of cortisol. “Stress threatens the health and diversity of our gut bacteria, leading to increased gut permeability, a central mechanism underlying widespread inflammation, which is the cornerstone of all chronic degenerative conditions,” says Perlmutter. “Those conditions as a category are ranked by the World Health Organization as the number one cause of death on our planet today.”

Fitzgerald concurs, “Excessive inflammation—an imbalanced immune response—accelerates the aging process, and it increases with stress. Stress is the gasoline on the fire of aging.”

Eating to reduce inflammation is key, and there is power on our plates when we add some of Fitzgerald’s longevity boosters like turmeric, green tea, shitake mushrooms, wild-caught salmon, eggs, liver and sunflower seeds. A study last year in Experimental MyNaturalAwakenings.com

Gerontology reported that the amino acid L-theanine, found particularly in green tea, reduced oxidative stress, liver degeneration and inflammatory responses in aging rats.

Radical Renewal Without Surgery In the daily survival game, the body’s stem cells generate specialized cells to replace those throughout the body that are damaged and dying. This ongoing repair process slows down as we advance in years, but cutting-edge procedures offer new hope for conditions ranging from arthritis to age-related brain fog.

“Stem cells improve DNA methylation and telomere length, and result in a reduced physiologic age compared to your chronologic age,” says Chadwick Prodromos, a Chicago-based, boardcertified orthopedic surgeon and the founder of the Prodromos Stem Cell Institute, in Antigua. “Joint replacements are offered quite liberally nowadays, but most of our patients with severe arthritis who were offered joint replacements do well in our care without them for virtually any joint in the body.” Prodromos and his team combine umbilical cord-derived stem cell treatment (non-embryonic/fetal) with specially selected nutritional supplements and in some patients, platelet-rich plasma and hyaluronic acid injections.

Even with exciting advances in the promotion of long life, experts are unanimous in stressing that going into our golden years disease-free begins and ends with individual lifestyle choices, starting with what we put in our mouths. “Diet is the most critical variable in terms of our metabolic destiny. It’s been said that a person can’t exercise away a poor diet, and there’s great wisdom in this statement,” says Perlmutter.

“While stem cell treatment has been quite effective, it is important to remember that avoiding chemicals in the environment, exercising vigorously and maintaining a low BMI [body mass index] are clearly the most important factors in good health,” advises Prodromos.

Food Dehydration Made Easy BEST WAYS TO PRESERVE THE HARVEST

by Sheila Julson

Almost Anything Can be Dehydrated

Many types of food can be dehydrated, including fruit, veggies, meat, fish, herbs and nuts. “It’s easier to say what can’t be dehydrated,” Cancler says. “The general rule is you don’t want to dehydrate food that has a high fat content, such as fatty meats or avocados.” They go rancid quickly during storage. While there are dehydrated, high-fat foods sold commercially such as cheese, peanut butter and eggs, these are processed using special equipment and techniques that can’t be copied in a home kitchen.

Sliced strawberries, chopped onions or celery are good foods for beginners. “People tend to throw those foods away a lot. They buy them and don’t use it all up before they spoil. Dehydrate leftover strawberries for snacks and dehydrate vegetables to use in soups or stews,” Cancler suggests.

Getting Started

Starter model home food dehydrators, often found at resale stores or rummage sales, can be purchased for about $50. Some have adjustable temperature settings for different kinds of foods. When purchased new, most food dehydrators include recipe booklets.

When using a dehydrator, Skinner advises, turn it on to the appropriate setting and lay the food in a single layer on the trays provided, then let the dehydrator run for a few hours. She usually turns food halfway through to prevent sticking.

Cancler says that in some cases an oven can be used to dehydrate food, but it isn’t the most cost-effective method. “I don’t recommend continued use of the oven, because depending on where you live and the type or size of food being dried, drying can take anywhere from eight to 36 hours. Running an electric or gas range for that long uses a lot of energy.”

She says that ideal temperatures are 125 to 135 degrees, but most standard ovens only go as low as 170 degrees, which is too warm to dehydrate fruits or vegetables. “Then you must do wacky things like prop the door open to cool down the oven.” The exception, she says, is jerky: “It must be dried at a higher temperature, and lowerend food dehydrator models don’t get hot enough.”

Sun-drying foods outdoors is risky, Brigman cautions, due to varied weather conditions. In addition, insects and air pollution have to be considered. “For safety reasons, consumers should really purchase a food dehydrator.

While it may be a high cost when you begin dehydrating, if you are a serious food preserver, it will save you money in the long term,” she says.

rying food is the oldest known method of food preservation. Middle and Far Eastern cultures have used the sun and wind to dry foods since 12,000 B.C., according to the National Center for Home Food Preservation (NCHFP). Today, the easy availability of food dehydrators offers a convenient way to preserve the fall harvest.

When done correctly, dehydrating food is a safe method for maintaining its original state, says Tracey Brigman, NCHFP associate director and University of Georgia clinical assistant professor. “Dehydrators remove the water content in foods, resulting in a low risk of bacteria and spoilage.”

Unlike other food preservation methods such as canning or fermenting, dehydrating food does not require lots of special equipment, tools or skill. “Dehydrating food is super easy to do,” says Carole Cancler, the Hawaii-based author of the Complete Dehydrator Cookbook. “Drying food is more forgiving. You can’t make a lot of mistakes. Canning, if you do it wrong, can make everyone in your family sick.” The only caveat, Cancler says, is that food not thoroughly dried will get moldy. In humid environments, dehydrated foods must be kept tightly sealed to keep out moisture and prevent mold from forming.

Julia Skinner, founder and director of Root-Kitchens.com, an online fermentation and food history company, adds that when foods are dehydrated, they shrink and therefore take up less storage space. “They’re great to pack for traveling or for small kitchens. Dehydrating can also concentrate some flavors, such as with dried tomatoes.”

Remove trays from dehydrator when purée is dry, with no sticky areas (about 10 hours—this will be highly dependent on the relative humidity of the drying room). Test for dryness by touching gently in several places near the center of leather; no indentation should be evident.

Peel leather from trays while still warm. Leave the second tray on the dehydrator while peeling the first leather, or re-warm leathers slightly in the dehydrator if they cool too much prior to peeling. Cut into quarters, lay on a piece of clean parchment paper about 1 to 2 inches longer at each end of the leather and roll into fruit leather rolls.

When cool, twist the ends of the parchment paper tightly to close.

Store fruit rolls in an airtight container for short-term storage, up to about 1 month. Leathers should be stored in a cool, dark dry place. For longer storage up to one year, place tightly wrapped rolls in the freezer.

Aging Gracefully HOW A YOGA PRACTICE KEEPS US YOUNG

by Maya Whitman

I

n 1967, Tao Porchon-Lynch left a successful Hollywood career as a model and actress to become a full-time yogi in her 50s. At age 87, she added ballroom dancing to her list of passions and at 93, she landed in the Guinness World Records as the oldest yoga teacher on the planet. She continued to teach a weekly yoga class just days before her death at age 101. “I love seeing students realize what is possible,” Porchon-Lynch said in an interview, and her words are an added incentive to reap the many benefits of a regular yoga practice at any age.

Whether it involves getting down on a mat or practicing modified poses with the use of a chair, yoga helps us to stay nimble, manage stress, reduce symptoms of depression and tame high blood pressure. Yoga has been around for thousands of years for good reason, and health organizations like the Johns Hopkins Arthritis Center are now recommending the healing modality for a better quality of life.

“What I learned is that we need four essential physical skills to navigate through life as we age—strength, flexibility, balance and agility—and we get that from yoga. We can find independence in our everyday life, and we don’t need a vigorous yoga class to do that,” says Ruth Pipitone, a gentle yoga instructor at various studios and senior centers in Northeastern Pennsylvania. For those that only associate the practice with youthful bodies and hip yoga gear, yoga is a full-spectrum practice. “Anyone can do yoga—gentle yoga, chair yoga and even wheelchair yoga.”

According to a 2016 study of 227 participants reported in the journal Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation, just 12 minutes of daily gentle yoga over 10 years improved bone mineral density in the spine and upper legs. About four in five participants had osteoporosis or osteopenia (low bone density), indicating that yoga is a good strategy for the 10 million Americans over the age of 50 with osteoporosis and the 44 million with osteopenia.

For Terecita “Ti” Blair, yoga offered a new way of life after a catastrophic automobile accident in 2009. The Denverbased trauma and resilience educator and 2017 SilverSneakers Instructor of the Year says, “Virtually any style or type of yoga can appeal and work well for you today, but not tomorrow.

Therefore real ‘yoga’ is about adaptability, and yes, those of us with compromised joints, immune systems, pain, disability and illness can absolutely benefit from yoga.”

Ancient Moves for Modern Life

Those with conditions ranging from cancer to Parkinson’s disease can reap benefits from an appropriate yoga environment.

In 2021, a meta-analysis of 12 studies published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that yoga can increase muscle strength, mobility, balance and lower body flexibility in mature adults. An older study from Temple University showed that Iyengar yoga can improve balance and prevent falls in women over 65 years old.

TIPS FOR GETTING STARTED

curto/AdobeStock.com

by Beth Spindler

The Breath of Now The keystone of all yoga practice is working with the breath, an action that is naturally compromised by just getting out of bed and into the day’s challenges. “Most adults breathe from their chest. That’s where we activate the stress response of fight, flight or freeze. We need to use the lower lungs, too, so we can activate the parasympathetic nervous system to find calm,” says Pipitone.

Blair, who specializes in helping others to find emotional equilibrium after trauma, concurs: “The nervous system is symbiotic with the breath, and vice versa. A long, deep inhale and a long, slow exhale can act as an immediate elixir for the nervous system to recognize that, in that moment, we are okay.”

She has taught groups of people, some in wheelchairs and hospital beds, and she “still experienced the entire room shift when breathing together. As long as we are able to consciously notice breath, we can do yoga.”

No matter how many trips we take around the sun, tapping into the life force can give us a new perspective. “I use asana (yoga poses) to examine my thoughts and feelings and to find introspection to examine what is happening with myself physically, as well as mentally and emotionally,” says Pipitone.

“You become more mindful of what you need to carry with you and what you don’t need to carry with you.”

In essence, we deepen as we age, and yoga can meet us on a multidimensional level. “Yoga does not have to mean poses.

Possibilities are infinite, and adaptations are unlimited, based upon our needs,” says Blair.

A regular yoga practice can support better sleep habits, improve flexibility, increase energy and reduce chronic pain. Do some homework and choose an appropriate class rather than showing up at the local fitness center and hoping to land in the right one.

n Keep it gentle and slow when diagnosed with low bone

density or a back, knee or hip condition. Look for a slowerpaced class with a well-trained teacher or yoga therapist that can provide a variety of options. Not every yoga teacher is trained to address osteoporosis, joint replacement or overall muscle stiffness. In a live class, a well-trained teacher can watch for unhealthy knee placement or will notice if someone is holding their breath in a pose.

n Classes are not always billed as “Yoga Over 50” or “Senior” classes. They may be called “Gentle Yoga” or “Yoga Basics,” and participants certainly do not have to be of a certain age to benefit from a deliberate and slower-paced approach. Call local yoga studios to inquire about classes that involve longer warm-ups and a less-intense physical practice.

n Warm-ups are probably the most important part of a

practice, especially for a more mature body; stiffer joints may take more time to relax, and a fast-paced class is less likely to offer that. Make sure to do warm-ups as part of a home practice, too.

Healthier Pets

TOP SUPPLEMENTS FOR DOGS AND CATS

by Shawn Messonnier

T

he market for pet products is awash with supplements, so it’s not surprising that it can be challenging to figure out what a dog or cat really needs. The foundation of any healthcare program for dogs and cats, regardless of age and breed, is a healthy diet, well-chosen and appropriate supplements, minimal vaccines and medications, and veterinary check-ups.

Basic helpful additions to a pet diet include a vitamin-mineral product, an enzyme and probiotic combination, and a fatty acid. For older animals, a choline supplement may delay the onset of cognitive disorder. Any tweaking of diet and supplements should follow regular testing that may diagnose a disease in its early stages. Here’s an overview of the top basic supplements every dog or cat should have.

Vitamins, Minerals and Joint Support

To provide immune and antioxidant support, and to bolster digestion, skin and coat health and overall wellness, a basic supplement should contain vitamins and minerals as well as small amounts of glucosamine and chondroitin for joint support.

28

Space & Treasure Coast Edition

Digestive enzymes are used in supplemental form to improve or increase digestion and nutrient absorption. They can be derived from pancreatic, plant or microbial sources such as bacteria or fungi. Enzymes are important especially when the animal’s digestive processes become exhausted or inefficient, such as during periods of stress or such gastrointestinal diseases as acute gastroenteritis, pancreatitis or either liver or inflammatory bowel disease.

Enzymes may also be helpful for cancer, allergies and arthritis.

Probiotics are living, healthy bacteria and yeasts, many of which are a part of a dog’s or cat’s microbiome. They can assist with healing in a variety of ways, including producing healthy fatty acids; decreasing the attachment of harmful bacteria and yeasts to the intestinal walls; increasing antibody production; supporting immunity; restoring healthy GI flora; and reducing inflammation.

As a result, probiotics are useful for treating dogs and cats with a variety of medical problems, including leaky gut syndrome, acute non-specific gastroenteritis, antibiotic or other medication-induced diarrhea, allergies, stress, obesity, neurodegenerative disorders, high cholesterol levels, inflammatory and irritable bowel disorders, and GI and parasite infestations. Probiotics may also be helpful for middle-aged and older dogs and cats, because GI microbial diversity diminishes with aging.

Fatty Acids

A good fatty acid fish oil supplement is also important. There are many brands on the market; some offer the flexibility of being administered either as a liquid (pump) or gel capsule. Phytoplankton, which serves as a food source for fish, is the source of the active ingredients docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA). Fish oil tends to be derived from cold-water fish rich in EPA and DHA such as wild (not farmed) salmon, mackerel, sardines and herring.

Enzymes and Probiotics

Under the guidance of a holistic or integrative veterinarian, supplements can add to a dog’s or cat’s health and longevity.

This is beneficial for the treatment of heart disease and may reduce atherosclerosis, thrombosis (blood clots), coronary heart disease, arrhythmias, heart failure, sudden cardiac death and stroke. Due to its antiinflammatory effects, fish oil is often used for dogs and cats for the treatment of skin problems, arthritis and cancer, along with heart, inflammatory bowel, autoimmune and kidney diseases. It may reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation therapy in cancer patients, decrease cancer growth and metastasis, and reduce wasting in undernourished animals.

Choline

For dogs and cats 5 years old and up, a choline (phosphatidylcholine) supplement addresses aging changes that affect the brain and can lead to cognitive disorder. Choline is a component of several major phospholipids that are critical for normal cell membrane structure and function. The body uses it to maintain water balance; to control cell growth and gene expression; as a component of lung surfactant; and most importantly, to produce the major nerve transmitter acetylcholine. It may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by lowering homocysteine levels.

Choline is used to treat high cholesterol, improve memory and protect the liver. It may prevent fatty liver syndrome (especially in diabetics), help prevent or treat cognitive disorder and support liver function. It may reduce insulin requirements in diabetics and can reduce seizure frequency.

Supplements other than these can be used as needed, based on the results of diagnostic testing and regular veterinary health exams. Under the guidance of a holistic or integrative veterinarian, supplements can add to a dog’s or cat’s health and longevity.

BENEFITS OF HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY

O

ne of the best-kept secrets in medicine is Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy (HBOT). Here, you breathe pure oxygen in a pressurized chamber. Injured or damaged cells replicate using an eightfold increase in a patient’s own stem cells during this treatment. The pressure pushes oxygen into the plasma to reach injured areas anywhere in the body.

HBOT has proven effective for COVID-19 and its long haulers, anti-aging issues like cognitive fog, dementia, and Alzheimer’s. It also treats people who’ve experienced physical and concussive trauma. “It can return these veterans to their families free

of PTSD and other injuries,” says Raymond Crallé, a Registered Physical Therapist who leads the team. “We can help people who think their golden years aren’t so golden.”

The outpatient Delray Beach facility offers an effective combination of HBOT and physical therapy. Their hyperbaric chambers are clear acrylic, preventing claustrophobia.

Chambers include an entertainment center.

Blankets and pillows keep users comfortable.

Professionally trained staff are HBOT proficient in safety procedures. “There are 14 Medicare and insurance-approved conditions. We also treat stroke patients, professional athletes, and others seeking wellness goals,” says Crallé.

Crallé has been involved in the breakthrough use of HBOT and in many published studies. He has worked with children and adults and participated in an HBOT study for Veterans. Crallé was recognized by his peers as a pioneer in the field of hyperbaric medicine.
