FAU Brain Institute Awarded $780,000 from StilesNicholson Foundation to Launch ASCEND Program

Palm Beach County Research and Education Partners Collaborate on ‘Advancing STEM: Community Engagement Through Neuroscience Discovery’

T

o address the national shortage in STEM (science-technology-engineering and math) career-oriented students, the Florida Atlantic University Brain Institute has received a $780,000 grant from the Stiles-Nicholson Foundation to launch an innovative program targeted at middle and high school students in Palm Beach County.

ASCEND (Advancing STEM: Community Engagement through Neuroscience Discovery) will tap the energy and intellect of undergraduate, graduate and post-doctoral neuroscience trainees associated with FAU Brain Institute labs, the Harriet L. Wilkes Honors College, the Scripps Research Institute, and the Max Planck Florida Institute for Neuroscience to excite and inspire future neuroscientists. ASCEND efforts will include classroom and lab visits as well as handson and virtual reality demonstrations and the development of digital and web-based educational content. A key component of the program involves efforts to establish long-term interactions between middle- and high-school students with practicing neuroscientists.

The four-year program, designed to showcase the promise and progress of brain science, will be overseen by the FAU Brain Institute, with offices and laboratories on both the university’s Boca Raton campus and it’s John D. MacArthur Campus at Jupiter. The overarching goal of the program is to instill a fascination for scientific inquiry, in general, and more specifically to raise awareness at an early stage of the remarkable approaches and discoveries that drive modern neuroscience discovery. The ASCEND program is particularly unique in supporting the recruitment of pre-professional neuroscience trainees as they develop the skills needed both to lead independent careers and to reinforce their passions for STEM engagement activities. The result is a “win-win” for the ability of FAU and its affiliates to recruit and retain top young neuroscience trainees while enhancing exposure of youth to the questions, methods, and discoveries of brain research.

“We are grateful to the Stiles-Nicholson Foundation for their investment in both science and education in Palm Beach County and in our team and community, both in supporting the science we pursue today, and in the educational needs of the scientists of tomorrow,” said Randy D. Blakely, Ph.D., executive director of the FAU Brain Institute.

Nicole L. Baganz, Ph.D., the FAU Brain Institute’s director of community engagement and programming, will work closely with Blakely and

ASCEND staff to promote STEM education efforts of multiple teams of pre- and post-doctoral trainees to communicate their excitement about the tremendous advances occurring in brain research.

“We all share a mission to ensure that our nation has a well-trained, scientifically literate workforce, one that will allow the United States to remain at the forefront of neuroscience discovery and that can translate research discoveries into practical applications that ultimately benefit humanity globally,” said Baganz.

ASCEND will be organized around the efforts of three teams of junior and advanced neuroscience trainees drawn from world-class FAU, Max Planck and Scripps laboratories. These trainees will work with ASCEND leadership to conceive, generate and disseminate materials in an engaging, multi-media format that can make learning about the brain fun and provide experiences well beyond typical classroom exercises. Among the activities envisioned for these trainees is the generation of web- and app-implemented neuroscience content that can be used to augment small group lecture and hands-on demonstration sessions, as well as podcasts that communicate the latest findings in brain research, at an age appropriate level. ASCEND also will seek to translate and personalize the discovery process, establishing relationships that are re-engaged year-to-year, increasing the likelihood that youth will remain engaged in STEM pursuits.

“We are very pleased to support and work closely with the Florida Atlantic University Brain Institute to provide an invaluable program to the youth in Palm Beach County,” said David John Stiles Nicholson, BSc., LLD, CFA, chairman and founder of the Stiles-Nicholson Foundation. “Now more than ever, there is a critical need to advance interest in the STEM disciplines in the United States as we are ranked No. 25 in science and No. 35 in math out of 72 countries in the developed world. We believe that efforts like FAU’s ASCEND program are key to keeping us competitive in our global society.”

Blakely envisions that the teams will draw from advice of the outstanding STEM educators at FAU to develop creative learning experiences.

Also, ASCEND teams will work closely with educators at the South Florida Science Center and Aquarium who are currently partnering with FAU, Scripps and Max Planck faculty to design a new permanent exhibit on the human brain, set to open next year.

“With the arrival of a high-tech, perma-

nent exhibit on the human brain at the South Florida Science Center, the Stiles-Nicholson award couldn’t be more timely,” said Blakely, who expects the trainees within the ASCEND to accomplish some of their educational objectives in direct collaboration with the museum, in many cases on site, using the Science Center’s recently opened Stiles-Nicholson education building.

According to the World Health Organization, brain disorders represent the most significant basis for loss of individual productivity worldwide.

Millions of Americans suffer from major depression, anxiety disorder, addiction, Alzheimer’s disease, obsessive-compulsive disorder, autism and ADHD. Effective treatments for many of these disorders are still lacking. Left untreated, brain disorders disrupt the fabric of families and communities, reduce socioeconomic status, and lead all too often to personal tragedies.

“The brain is the source of our thoughts and dreams, and is the most complex piece of matter in the known universe,” said Blakely. “To understand and develop new treatments for brain disorders, we must insure that we train professional neuroscientists while reaching out to younger minds to fire their imaginations of those who one day could make neuroscience a career. The ASCEND program strives to foster a technically sophisticated and motivated workforce, a goal key to success in the interlocking fields of genetics, cell biology, biophysics, biochemistry, and computer science and engineering, which have merged together to form modern neuroscience.”

According to Nicholson, “the next decade of discovery belongs to STEM and the most impactful potential discoveries are in neuroscience. We know so much about the world around us and far reaching planets, yet so little about the inner workings of the brain, but that is changing, and changing rapidly. As advances in neuroscience are made, the ASCEND program hopes to provide an educational outreach to not only STEM students, but the general public at large. In collaboration with great partners like the Brain Institute, FAU, Scripps, Max Planck, the South Florida Science Center and the Palm Beach County School District, we hope to make a difference in the understanding of our most vital organ, the control tower of all things, the brain.”

Five Daily Habits for a Healthy Heart

T

ake care of your heart. Your heart affects every part of your body. Your heart does the most physical work of any muscle during your lifetime.

It beats about 100,000 times a day, and with this faithful steady beat you have the gift of life. You control your heart health through your diet, lifestyle, and managing your stress. Your emotional and physical well-being are both important for maintaining a healthy heart.

Start today to develop some daily hearthealthy habits to protect this vital organ. Habits are the small decisions you make and actions you take each day. What we repeatedly do and focus on forms the person that we are. The sum of your daily habits ultimately forms the current status of your emotional and physical health.

Find 30 minutes a day to exercise. The American Heart Association recommends 30 minutes of moderate exercise at least five days per week. For people who would benefit from lowering their blood pressure or cholesterol, they recommend 40 minutes of aerobic exercise of moderate to vigorous intensity three to four times a week.

You can break this out into 15 minute intervals twice per day. On days you can’t make the 30-minute time goal start with at least ten or fifteen minutes. Don’t let the “all or nothing” goal stop you from making health gains today.

Just start walking. Every step you take you are on your way to better health. You can build up to a 30-minute brisk power walk. Find a sport, fitness class or activity that you enjoy. Consider activities such as swimming, bicycling, tennis or dancing.

When you get your body moving and your blood pumping your heart will benefit. And don’t forget to include strength training twice per week. Lifting weights and using whole body movements will raise your heart rate, strengthen your muscles and help manage stress.

Enjoy colorful, wholesome foods. Choose nutrient-rich foods every day that will benefit your heart and your health. Eat a variety of colorful fresh fruits and vegetables at each meal and snack. Choose fiber-rich whole grains, beans, nuts and seeds. Include lean protein and healthy oils such as olive oil and flaxseed oil. Don’t forget to include fish at least once a week and fresh herbs and spices daily. Focus on what you should eat.

Instead of focusing on what you can’t have, focus on all the healthy choices and you will be too full to eat junk food.

Practice deep breathing at least 15 minutes.

Deep breathing is one of the best ways to lower stress in the body. Increased heart rate, fast breathing and high blood pressure, which all happen when you are stressed; all decrease as you breathe deeply to relax. Your brain receives the message to calm down and relax and sends this message to your body. Breathe long, slow and deep in a mindful-state as often as possible. As a powerful daily practice, deep breathing will advance your health and well-being.

Cultivate gratitude and acknowledge the good things in life. Some research suggests that by cultivating gratitude we cultivate well-being. The simple act of writing down what you are grateful for can increase well-being and gratitude. Taking time to meditate with appreciation and praying more often has been found to help people be more grateful. Simply ask yourself each day, “What am I grateful for?” This question will open up a wider outlook on life and can bring awareness and appreciation to the positive aspects within you and around you. A grateful heart is a healthier heart.

If you desire better or lasting health, it all starts with better habits. When you learn to transform your habits you can transform your life.

Make sure to get seven to eight hours of sleep.

The better night’s sleep you get the healthier your heart will be. Several recent studies show links between shortened sleep duration, defined as less than six hours of sleep, and increased risk of heart disease. The key to making sure you have time for quality sleep is to schedule it. Keep a consistent schedule for the time that you sleep and awake each day. Make this a habit and it will become part of your daily routine. Support this schedule by creating a bedtime routine that helps you relax with hot baths, journaling, soothing music or good books.

Life Moves in Cycles—Make Yours an Upward Spiral!

“Happiness runs in a circular motion.”

– Donovan lthough we officially measure time in a linear way in our society, we mostly experience life in cycles.

Here in Florida, we don’t have the cycle of the four seasons, but the year is still a cycle of birthdays, holidays, football season, baseball season, tourist season and so on. The sun cycles across the sky, the moon and stars cycle through the night. We get up in the morning and go to bed at night—and hopefully accomplish something and feel good about ourselves in between.

We also experience issues in our lives in cycles—or spirals. The same issues present themselves in different ways until we master them.

As we grow, we confront issues on a higher level next time we go ‘round. It’s easier because we’ve addressed it before. On the other hand, the Universe may give us a more challenging version of the lesson—because we’re ready for it. This keeps us on our toes!

We’re also given opportunities and if we take hold of them and use them, we’re given still greater opportunities. I’ve been fortunate in the opportunities that were given to me and I see my career in reflexology as an upward spiral.

I began as a surprised and grateful recipient

“Your soul awakens your mind. Your mind makes your choices. Your choices manifest your life. Your life is your lesson. Your lessons create wisdom. Your wisdom enriches your soul.”

FOOT REFLEXOLOGY CERTIFICATION

A

of a reflexology session—a gift from a friend when I was stressed out and overwhelmed as a college student. Reflexology is the art of applying firm but gentle pressure to “reflex points” on the hands, face, ears and (most commonly) feet to balance your organs, glands, and your whole body. The session was so powerful for me—both soothing and energizing—that I thought, “I want to be able to do this for others!”

There were few trainings available in those days, but I searched out a class and every book on reflexology I could find. Soon I was doing reflexology sessions for others, at first for free. Through word of mouth, before long I was doing several client sessions a day.

I began teaching reflexology to others—first informally and then officially through massage schools. Eventually, I developed my own reflexology method and training programs, and wrote a best-selling book on reflexology, created instructional DVDs and a line of aromatherapy products for the feet, hands and face. It has been a deeply rewarding career.

Where are you on your life’s spiral? Is it time for you to take hold of an opportunity and move upward? Could reflexology be a path for you?

Many people with allergies, pain, fatigue, insomnia, weight issues and more, report significant

relief and lasting improvement after reflexology sessions. You can use the techniques of reflexology to benefit your family and friends—or start a new career. You can add reflexology to an existing career to take it to a higher level. LMT’s, skin care specialists, nurses, midwives, physical and occupational therapists, and other beauty and healthcare professionals take the training to broaden their skills and knowledge, earn continuing education credits and increase their income.

Boca Welcomes Paris Morning Bakery :An Exciting Blend of French and Korean Cuisine in the bakery,” Paris Morning interior designer Hyewon Park said.

S

elected as Sun Sentinel’s Best Asian Bakery in South Florida, Paris Morning Bakery previously had only two locations in Davie and Lauderhill, but just recently in December 2017, a new location opened in Boca Raton and the bakery chain is still continuing to grow.

Paris Morning Bakery bakes fresh traditional Korean bread daily with recipes influenced by certain French pastries. Their bread is not too sweet, a light delicacy that one can eat in every situation without feeling weighed down. Paris Morning is not just a bakery either, it specializes in “zipbop,” a cup of authentic Korean food that ranges from rice, beef, eel, pork, veggies and chicken, “bingsoo,” a popular Korean dessert that includes shaved ice, sweet toppings, condensed milk, syrups and powder, cakes, macarons and bubble tea.

A unique characteristic of Paris Morning Bakery is that in all three locations, there is a large screen constantly displaying K-pop music videos. It is an ideal place for teenagers to hang out with friends, study or even just sit while enjoying the music videos.“ Because Paris Morning is actually Korean and French fused together, showing K-pop music videos is a way of displaying the Korean style

The interior design in all the locations is trendy and clean cut, attributing to the warm atmosphere.

Despite the similarities in design, each location carries their own unique concepts.“ I didn’t want to make the bakery too modern because it might give off a cold vibe, but I didn’t want to base the bakery off of a traditional style either, just in case it might not be an ideal atmosphere for younger people,” Park said.“ So that’s why I have decided to incorporate modern with natural styles. I also put wood and plastic together to give off that particular fusion.”

The bakery also incorporates pastel colors with natural colors in the background to make a comfortable atmosphere for people of any age.

In order to blend the French and Korean styles, the bakery uses modern Western-style furniture while featuring Korean music and foods.“ I went to Paris Morning Bakery because my friend recommended it to me. It gives off a really chill vibe and the pastries are the best. I think the interior design is what makes it extra appealing,” Calista Ng said.

Overall, the trendy new bakery holds a lot of potential for those interested in aesthetic shops or hangout spots. The variety of cultural foods and drinks is something worth trying.

Author Shares His Path To Recovery In Fighting Parkinson’s…And Winning

H

oward Shifke knows a thing or two about Parkinson’s disease. He watched his mother deteriorate in body and mind for 24 years before finally succumbing to the disease. Two years later, he was told he also had the disease. But he took a different path than the one his mother had taken, devising his own healing plan from what he had learned in the 10 years he spent studying Chinese medicine.

“My philosophy of Parkinson’s is that I was out of balance physically, mentally and spiritually, and once balance was restored, full recovery took place,” Shifke says. “Western medicine’s view of Parkinson’s is that there are dead brain cells and depleted dopamine in the brain. My position is that the brain cells are not dead and the dopamine is not depleted, but that instead the dopamine flow is blocked.”

His recovery was swift. Within nine months of embarking on his bold plan, Shifke received a clean bill of health from the neurologist who repeated the same battery of tests that first revealed his disease.

In the nearly eight years since his initial diagnosis and his remarkable recovery, he has regularly posted to his blog and has heard from others who have followed his plan and experienced similar recoveries.

A native Floridian, Shifke and his wife forsook the Southeast two years ago for Oregon, where he reads, gardens and continues to coach people from around the world in his recovery methodology. “We have created a worldwide community of people wanting to recover from Parkinson’s who cheer each other on,” he says.

Zip-100 Available Again

A

s we all are aware, Hurricane Irma did a number on Florida last fall. The AlgaGen facility was no exception. The production infrastructure got damaged and their Zip-100 Spirulina product was in short supply for a few months. They are happy to say that the rebuilding gave them an opportunity to make substantial improvements and now supplies have been replenished in the stores and online. They are thankful for the patience and understanding of their loyal customers.

ZIP-100 is a raw, fresh-harvested, fresh-frozen spirulina that comes in frozen cubes, which can be added to juice, water, green drinks or smoothies.

AlgaGen has been growing Spirulina in Vero Beach since 2008. “Our Spirulina has adapted to the Florida weather and is very high in beta-carotene, anti-inflammatories and proteins. Source water determines the quality of Spirulina,” says CEO, Erik Stenn. “Our source water comes from an artesian well, tapping ancient pure water that is very high in beneficial minerals.”

“There are numerous National Institute of Health studies indicating that Spirulina contains antioxidants, polyphenols, chlorophyll, amino acids, antiinflammatories, omega 3 and omega 6 fatty acids, immune boosting compounds, calcium/magnesium, iron, vitamin A, vitamin B complex and more within the context of a natural food,” continues Stenn. And now we have Zip-100 available for cats and dogs as well -- so the whole family can enjoy the benefits.”

Innovative Couples’ Intervention Significantly Helps People With Alzheimer’s Communicate First-of-its-kind FAU Study Shows ‘Practice Makes Perfect’ for Both Caregiver and Care Receiver Couples

T

hey do it with the best of intentions. “Do you remember our wedding day?” “Who is that person next to you in the picture?” For couples with decades of shared memories, a partner’s decline in the ability to communicate is one of the most frightening and frustrating consequences of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. For these couples, the communication strategies they have used before simply do not work anymore. Impaired communication leads to misunderstandings, conflict, isolation, and loss of intimacy.

A first-of-its-kind study using a 10-week in-home intervention to support couples affected by dementia is showing that “practice does make perfect,” both for the caregiver and the care receiver or person with dementia. By involving both partners in the intervention using coaching and role-playing, researchers from Florida Atlantic University’s Christine E. Lynn College Nursing are the first to provide a more complete picture of communication behavior in couples affected by dementia with measurable outcomes.

The study, published in the International Journal of Geriatric Psychiatry, demonstrates how creative ways of working with these couples can change their communication behaviors in just 10 weeks.

CARE (Caring About Relationships and Emotions) was designed to increase facilitative (helpful) communication in the caregiver and sociable communication in the care receiver. The relationshipfocused intervention also was designed to reduce disabling behavior (impairing engagement such as criticizing or quizzing their partner’s memory) in caregivers and unsociable behavior (such as not making eye contact) in care receivers.

A key finding from the study, which pleasantly surprised the researchers, showed that care receivers actually improved more than the caregivers following the intervention. Care receivers, who had moderate dementia, had statistically significant improvement in their social communication both verbally and non-verbally. They were more interested and engaged, maintained eye contact, responded to questions, stayed on topic, and even joked with and teased their partners.

Caregivers’ communication also showed a statistically significant improvement in their facilitative communication (promoting engagement) and a statistically significant decrease in their disabling communication.

“Caregivers are not experts in communicating with people with dementia. Sometimes they choose strategies they think are helpful, but may be ineffective. Also, they often give up communicating with their less verbal partners because benefits are not as obvious,” said Christine L. Williams, DNSc, principal investigator of the study and a professor and director of the Ph.D. in Nursing Program in FAU’s College of

Nursing, who designed the intervention program.

“By teaching caregivers about their partners’ ongoing needs for closeness, comfort, inclusion, love and respect, they can make a difference in how they perceive their spouses and how facilitative communication, both verbal and non-verbal, can contribute to their well-being.”

For the study, couples received a manual at the start of the intervention with 10 weekly modules on a wide variety of communication issues. Researchers met weekly with the care receiver and caregiver separately; followed by a meeting with the couple together. At the end of the couples’ session, they were asked to converse unobserved by the researchers for about 10 minutes on a topic of their choosing. That session was videotaped.

Researchers assessed caregivers’ learning needs, increased their communication self-awareness, knowledge about communication decline in dementia, common care receiver emotional reactions to lost abilities, and how to use communication strategies to maintain a caring relationship. Role-play between the interventionist and the caregiver was incorporated when additional practice was needed to demonstrate a specific strategy. Caregivers were coached to identify their communication style and that of their partners.

Researchers also conversed each week with the care receivers to encourage their efforts to verbally express their thoughts, feelings, preferences and needs.

Williams used a rating scale to measure the outcomes of the intervention and analyzed and scored 118, 10-minute videos of each of the couples’ sessions. Measuring both caregiver and care receiver communication weekly over several weeks provided a more complete picture of changes over time.

“This intervention is important because there are no other programs specifically developed for couples where one has Alzheimer’s disease or dementia,” said Williams. “While marital counseling is available, it’s very different when you have one partner who is losing their ability to communicate. We don’t teach families how to communicate with someone with dementia and it is desperately needed.”

More than 5.4 million American adults in the United States have Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias and more than 15 million family members care for them at home. A substantial number of caregivers, 40 percent, are spouses. Spouse caregivers have reported high burden and stress and require $9.7 billion in stress-related health care.

Participants in the study all attended the Louis and Anne Green Memory and Wellness Center operated by FAU’s College of Nursing.

Gooseberries are Good for the Gut Researchers from Malaysia’s Islamic Science University tested 30 patients with gastrointestinal issues, dividing them into three groups. One received lactose, a placebo; another group was given omeprazole, an over-the-counter remedy; and the third Phyllanthus emblica Linn, an ayurvedic treatment for gastrointestinal issues also known as Indian gooseberry.

The research found the herbal treatment resulted in less pain, vomiting, sleep loss and other issues.

Participants’ intestinal walls also showed signs of significant healing. The researchers concluded, “Findings indicate that the ethanolic extract of P. emblica fruits has gastroprotective effects in humans that justify its traditional use.”

Research from Duke University Medical School indicates that eating red meat and poultry increases risk for Type 2 diabetes. Published in the American Journal of Epidemiology, the Singapore Chinese Health Study followed 63,257 adults between ages 45 and 74 for an average of 11 years each.

It was determined that meat and poultry consumption increased diabetes incidence by 23 and 15 percent, respectively.

Leafy greens, which are rich in vitamin K, have again been shown to provide outsized benefits for heart health. Researchers from the Medical College of Georgia at Augusta University found that a reduced intake of vitamin K1 leads to more than triple the risk of an enlargement of the heart’s left ventricle, which reduces blood pumping volume, according to a study published in the Journal of Nutrition.

Researchers followed diet records for 766 participants ages 14 to 18 and monitored their vascular structure and functionality. When compared to those with thehighest intake of vitamin K1 from foods such as spinach, cabbage and other leafy, green vegetables, those with the lowest intake were more likely to experience vascular enlargement.

Eating Meat Raises Diabetes Risk

PHYSICAL ACTIVITY DETERS ALZHEIMER’S According to a study in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease, researchers discovered the risk of dementia can be halved by engaging in physical activities like walking, dancing and gardening, which significantly improve brain volume in the hippocampus region and the frontal, temporal and parietal lobes. The scientists studied 876 participants for 30 years and completed a longitudinal memory test of the patients, which were 78 years old on average, and followed up with MRI brain scans. They recorded their physical activity and logged caloric output every week.

Two other studies found that any exercise that raises our heart rate and produces sweating for a sustained period will benefit cognitive health as we age. One meta-analysis of 36 studies from Australia’s University of Canberra found that exercise improved cognition by an average of 29 percent for those older than 50; another small group study from Germany’s Otto von Guericke University, in Magdeburg, specifically showed that dancing benefits seniors’ cognition.

Saunas Lower Blood Pressure

In a new working paper from the West Virginia University Department of Economics, authors Daniel S. Grossman and David J.G. Slutsky found that during the lead-tainted water crisis in Flint, Michigan, from 2014 to 2016, there was a 58 percent rise in fetal deaths, and 275 fewer births compared to adjacent areas near Detroit.

University of Eastern Finland research on 1,621 men found that four to seven saunas per week can cut high blood pressure risk in half. Their conclusion states, “Regular sauna bathing is associated with reduced risk of hypertension, which may be a mechanism underlying the decreased cardiovascular risk associated with sauna use.”

Toxic Effects of Lead on Reproductive Health

Research from the University of Pittsburgh followed 158 boys and young men until the age of 22. Brain scans revealed that the teenagers using marijuana between the ages of 14 and 19 had a higher risk of depression as young adults. Marijuana users also had the lowest educational achievements. They suffered impaired connectivity in the nucleus accumbens part of the brain, which plays a central role in the reward circuit tied to two essential neurotransmitters: dopamine, which promotes desire; and serotonin, which affects satiety and inhibition.

Another recent study of 521 Washington State University students noted that depressed 12-to-15-yearolds were more likely to be using marijuana by age 18.

Positive Outlook Powers Osteoarthritis Patients Research at Penn State University published in the journal Health Psychology shows that being more enthusiastic and optimistic about getting things done upon waking up in the morning increases the physical activity of osteoarthritis patients throughout the day, resulting in more exercise and reduced symptoms. The study followed 135 osteoarthritis patients for 22 days.

The G20 nations, comprising the world’s biggest economies, provide four times more public financing to support fossil fuels than renewable energy, says a report from the environmental coalition Oil Change International (Tinyurl.com/TalkIsCheapOilReport). This took place even though German Chancellor Angela Merkel announced climate change as the heart of the agenda at the Hamburg summit in July 2017. The public financing—in soft loans and guarantees from governments along with huge fossil fuel subsidies—makes coal, oil and natural gas cheaper to use in the short run because both the frontend and back-end costs are undisclosed.

Grassroots Gumption

Sweet Potato Project Encourages Enterprise

The Sweet Potato Project, started by journalist Sylvester Brown, Jr., will work in partnership with St. Louis University and a small cadre of local nonprofits called the North City Food Hub to hold culinary, small business, horticulture, restaurant management, and land-ownership classes and business incubator opportunities this spring. The goal is to enable at-risk youths in North St. Louis to grow food and make money through food packaging and distribution. The project encourages people to become innovative, self-sufficient players in today’s expanding global economy.

Brown says, “Success doesn’t always mean you’ve made a lot of money; it can also mean you’ve survived poverty or managed to create something.”

Uncontrolled Lice Threaten Fish Industry

A surge in parasitic sea lice that attach themselves to and feed on salmon, killing or rendering them unsuitable for dinner tables, is disrupting salmon farms in the U.S., Canada, Scotland, Norway and Chile.

Wholesale prices for the species have already increased 50 percent over last year, leading to higher consumer prices for everything from salmon fillets and steaks to more expensive lox on bagels. Scientists and fish farmers are working on new ways to control the pests. Fish Farmer magazine states that losses by the global aquaculture industry could be as high as $1 billion annually. The only hope is to develop new methods to control the spread of the lice, which are naturally present in the wild, but thrive in the tightly packed ocean pens used for fish farming.

Hywind, the first floating wind farm in the UK, is located 15 miles offshore of Peterhead, in Aberdeenshire, Scotland. Its five turbines with a 30-megawatt capacity will provide clean energy to more than 20,000 homes to help meet the country’s ambitious climate change targets. First Minister Nicola Sturgeon says, “The government’s commitment to the development of this technology, coupled with Statoil’s [lithium] battery storage project, Batwind, positions Scotland as a world center for energy innovation.” Hywind is operated by Norwegian oil and gas company Statoil ASA and Masdar Abu Dhabi Future Energy Co.

Marine Algae Could Nourish Growing World Population

According to the United Nations, more than 800 million people today are regularly undernourished. By 2050, a rise of another 3 billion in global population is expected to escalate pressure on food supplies. The challenge means providing not just sufficient calories, but also a balanced diet for good health.

Fish present a viable solution, but most of the world’s inventory is already overharvested. Some scientists propose “cutting out the middle fish” via the commercial production of marine microalgae as a staple food. They produce fatty acids, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, polymers and carbohydrates that humans need and that can be used to feed animals and farmed fish. Microalgae are found in both freshwater and marine aquatic systems. Only a handful of algal species are used commercially now, but hundreds of strains have similar potential.

Meanwhile, innovators at Copenhagen’s future-living lab SPACE10 created the Algae Dome, a 13-foot-tall urban ecostructure powered by solar energy that pumps out oxygen and produces food in a closed-loop arrangement. This hyperlocal food system grows microalgae, which are among the world’s fastest-growing organisms and can thrive on sunshine and water almost anywhere.

Veggie Renaissance Brits Cutting Back on Meat Eating

In 2015, the World Health Organization labeled bacon, sausage, hot dogs and other processed meats with the same carcinogenic label as for cigarettes. According to the Mintel Meat-Free Foods 2017 Report (Tinyurl. com/MintelMeatReport), 28 percent of Britons have now drastically reduced their meat intake. Reasons vary.

About 49 percent of those polled that have given up meat or are considering it say they feel prompted by health warnings. Other motivators include weight management (29 percent), worries about animal welfare (24 percent) and environmental concerns (24 percent).

Along with naturally beautifying a home, many indoor plants help purify air quality often contaminated by chemicals found in common household products and furnishings. A recent study by the State University of New York at Oswego found that bromeliads absorbed up to 80 percent of pollutants from volatile organic compounds (VOC) emitted by paint, furniture, printers, dry-cleaned clothes and other household products. Other plants that scored highly for purifying the air of VOCs in airtight container tests were dracaena and spider plants (ScienceAlert.com). In related news, peace lilies have been shown to be effective in reducing airborne ammonia.

NASA scientists have discovered that Boston fern, rubber plants, English ivy, devil’s ivy, peace lily, mum and gerbera daisies help clear the air of the formaldehyde often used in insulation, carpeting and particleboard furniture.

(RodalesOrganicLife.com)

Environmental scientist B.C. Wolverton’s book How to Grow Fresh Air: 50 House Plants that Purify Your Home or Office cites ferns as another good plant for removing formaldehyde from the home. Ferns are nontoxic, making them good indoor plants for pet owners per the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Indoor levels of formaldehyde can also be reduced by potting areca palm, amstel king ficus and weeping fig plants, according to MotherEarthLiving.com.

The website also cites how dragon tree plants can help remove xylene (used in solvents), trichloroethylene (found primarily in adhesives) and toluene (a solvent and gasoline additive) from the air.

Beyond improving air quality, indoor plants also boost ambient oxygen levels, lower mold counts and serve as a natural humidifier and mood enhancer.

Indoor Greenery Removes Airborne Toxins

How to Detoxify

by Dr.Yolanda Cintron, DMD

H

ealth should be approached clearly and simply, asking, “What is the root cause of the symptom?” rather than, “How can I relieve this symptom?”

In a refreshing lecture given by Dr. Thomas Rau, director of the famous Paracelsus Clinic, in Switzerland, he outlined his clear and simple approach to health for his patients, stating that if he could keep only one doctor to help his patients, it would be his biological dentist. He summarized his approach in three steps: 1. Detoxifying 2. Building intestinal health and bacteria 3. Regenerating and building up each organ for healing of the organ’s disease What impressed me most was Dr. Rau’s integrity and understanding of the proper order in how to treat his patients.

First and foremost, his protocol begins with a visit to a biological dentist. This is done because the medical team connects the affected teeth to the organs and BINGO! Results.

The clinic understands that “the most frequent cause to modern disease is toxic overload of the body—toxicity blocks the regulation and healing capacity of the body.”

On a daily basis at our biological dental practice we find the following situations: 1. Discovery of Toxins: Patients carry toxicity in their mouths that they don’t even know about such as silver fillings that are 50% mercury, heavy metals in crowns (palladium, aluminum, lead), and dead root canal teeth that are mummified with formaldehyde or gum disease.

A toxic metal most Americans have in their mouth is mercury. This metal can accumulate in the digestive tract every time you eat sulfur-rich foods like eggs, garlic, onions, asparagus and ginger.

These foods bind to the mercury and attach to your gut cell epithelium causing inflammation.

2. DNA Testing: These toxins affect the flora in the intestine and have symptoms of blockage. We discover all kinds of neurotoxic bacteria, viruses, yeast and spirochetes in the DNA testing of the

Dr. Yolanda Cintron, DMD

affected teeth, gums and infected bone, and 100% of the time these tests come back with bad results.

3. Removal of Toxins: Once these immunosuppressive agents are removed from the oral cavity, the body can release the toxins. A healthy mouth will assist the body in fully detoxifying.

If you are feeling sick, it means your body is trying to get rid of something and it needs your help to strengthen the natural detox systems.

Your brain is a primary target for heavy metals toxicity. This results in many neurological symptoms, including anxiety, depression, irritability, memory loss, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Hashimoto’s, organ failure, development of cancers, kidney failure, liver issues, heart arrhythmia, tachycardia, epilepsy, thyroid gland issues and increased risk of type 2 diabetes.

A toxic metal most Americans have in their mouth is mercury. This metal can accumulate in the digestive tract every time you eat sulfur-rich foods like eggs, garlic, onions, asparagus and ginger. These foods bind to the mercury and attach to your gut cell epithelium causing inflammation.

Your gut is the frontline of your immune system—do not let this pathway become blocked!

Your health journey is not a sprint— it took you many years to get where you are. Patience is a virtue. Your attitude will determine your altitude.

The World’s Healthiest Cuisines What Five Countries Can Teach Us about Good Eating

by Judith Fertig

A

mericans love to explore ethnic cuisines and then put their own “more is better” spin on them, like a Chinese stir-fry turned into chop suey with fried rice or a pasta side dish super-sized into a whole meal.

“We’ve Americanized dishes to the extent that they don’t have their original health benefits,” says Dr. Daphne Miller, a family physician in the San Francisco Bay area and author of The Jungle Effect: The Healthiest Diets from Around the World—Why They Work and How to Make Them Work for You.

Here are five popular—and healthy— world cuisines, known for their great dishes, star ingredients and health-enhancing practices.

Traditional Japanese

Ingredients. The dietary benefits of green tea, fermented soy and mushrooms like shiitake and maitake are well documented. Add dried seaweed to this list. Beyond sushi, it’s a 28

Palm Beach Edition

delicious ingredient in brothy soups, where it reconstitutes to add a noodle-like quality, slightly smoky flavor and beneficial minerals, including calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, molybdenum, phosphorus, potassium, selenium, vanadium and zinc.

A study in the Asia Pacific Journal of Clinical Nutrition linked the longevity of Okinawan residents to eating seaweed, a staple of macrobiotic diets. New York City culinary instructor and cookbook author Hiroko Shimbo prefers dried wakame seaweed, readily available in the U.S.

Practices. Shimbo grew up in Tokyo, Japan, where her mother helped her surgeon father’s patients by preparing foods that helped them recover quickly. Shimbo believes wholeheartedly in Ishoku-dogen, a Japanese concept often translated as, “Food is medicine.”

Shimbo says, “I eat fairly well, treating food as blessings from nature that keep me healthy and energetic. I do not often indulge

napalmbeach.com

South Indian

Ingredients. South India—including the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Kerala, Tamil Nadu and Telangana—offers many plant-based dishes that feature coconut, rice and spices such as turmeric, known for decreasing inflammation, according to the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine. Varieties of dried split peas called dal [dal is singular and plural] are used in vegetable curries and ground to make the gluten-free savory crepes known as dosa or puffy white idlis for a snack or breakfast.

South India native and current Minneapolis resident Raghavan Iyer, teacher, consultant and author of many cookbooks, including 660 Curries, says, “One technique that gives vegetable dishes a lift is dry-frying or toasting whole spices. It adds complexity and nuttiness.” Simply heat a cast iron skillet, add the whole spices and dry fry until spicy aromas arise; then add them to a dish.

Practice. South Indian meals usually comprise many small, highly flavored,

in expensive, rich foods.” She prefers eating foods in season and small portions, listening to what her body craves. When feeling the need for minerals and vitamins, she makes a brothy soup with just a little dried wakame, which reconstitutes to four times its dried volume.

A second practice supporting healthy well-being is hara hachi bu, or “Eat until your stomach is 80 percent full.” It requires self-discipline to eat slowly and decline more food. But this restraint supports a widely accepted fact that “It takes about 20 minutes for the brain to receive the message that the stomach is full. If we eat slowly, we get the message at the right time, even if we want a few more bites. If we eat too quickly, by the time our brain sends the message, we have probably eaten too much,” says Shimbo.

One Great Dish: Japanese soups offer nutrition and flavor in a bowl. Shimbo’s Eat-a-Lot Wakame Sea Vegetable Soup in her cookbook The Japanese Kitchen: 250 Recipes in a Traditional Spirit can be made with chicken or vegetable broth. Other healthy ingredients like sesame oil, fresh ginger, scallions and garlic boost its health benefits.

colorful, plant-based dishes served with rice.

They yield a pleasant aroma and sensation of fullness without overdoing it, says Iyer.

One Great Dish: A vegetable/legume curry such as tamata chana dal, or smoky yellow split peas is simple to make. Iyer cooks dried, yellow, split peas with potatoes and turmeric, then dry-fries dried chilis and spices, and purées them in a blender for a nofat, vegan and gluten-free dish. In Iyer’s view, “The epitome of comfort food is a bowl of dal and rice.”

Garden-to-Table Italian

Ingredients. There’s American-Italian, as in pizza with pepperoni and double cheese, and then there’s real Italian dishes dating back to the Etruscans. Healthy Italian starts with the love of growing things. Whatever grows in the garden is best, served simply with extra virgin olive oil; a recent Temple University study found it preserves memory and wards off Alzheimer’s.

Eugenia Giobbi Bone, co-author of Italian Family Dining: Recipes, Menus, and Memories of Meals with a Great American Food Family, says, “My palate was formed with the flavors of homegrown foods. Cooking in central Italy is all about bringing out the flavor of a few very fresh, well-grown ingredients. That means primarily seasonal eating, with lots of vegetables and little meat in summer, the opposite in winter. There isn’t a lot of fuss to the culinary style, which instead depends on interesting, but simple combinations of foods and techniques.”

Practice. Italian families’ view of healthful garden-to-table includes the exercise attained from gardening. “We have a good work ethic in our family,” remarks Bone, who lives in New York City and Crawford, Colorado. “We are of the mentality that physical work is satisfying, even when it is hard.”

From her father’s family, Bone has learned to break a meal into small courses and to eat heavier during the day and lighter at night because this helps maintain a healthy weight, according to many studies including one published in the UK journal Diabetologia.

One Great Dish: Dress up pasta with a seasonal vegetable sauce, such as caponata, an eggplant and tomato mixture, or include

primavera via spring vegetables and basil, or arrabbiata, featuring tomatoes and red pepper flakes.

Lebanese

Ingredients. “So much about Lebanese cuisine is ‘on trend’ with our tart and sour flavors from lemon, sumac and pomegranate molasses, a wide array of vegetarian and vegan dishes, plus a tradition of pickling, called mouneh, and yogurt and cheese-making,” says food blogger Maureen Abood, author of Rose Water & Orange Blossoms: Fresh and Classic Recipes from My Lebanese Kitchen.

“Lebanese cuisine is extraordinarily healthy, fitting squarely into the Mediterranean diet.” Abood lives in East Lansing, Michigan, where she loves to use summer cherries and berries in her Lebanese-inspired dishes. According to Abood, another reason why Lebanese food is so popular is that Lebanese immigrants to the U.S. now outnumber the native population of their mother country.

Practice. Gathering to share food is a hallmark of Lebanese hospitality. “The Lebanese style of eating includes maza; many small shared plates of remarkable variety,” says Abood. “Food as medicine” is also a Lebanese practice, according to a study in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary and Alternative Medicine.

One Great Dish: “Many of my favorite Lebanese dishes are plant-based,” says Abood. “We love to stuff everything from cabbage to summer squash to grape leaves with vegetarian fillings, and cook them in a garlic or tomato broth. Every week, we make and eat mujaddara, a lentil and rice or bulgur pilaf with deeply caramelized onions.” Pair with any Lebanese salad, such as one she makes with sweet cherries and walnuts for “a perfectly healthy and crazy-delicious meal.”

Vietnamese

Ingredients. Vietnamese cooking emphasizes fresh herbs and leafy greens, green papaya, seafood, rice and condiments. A study in the British Journal of Nutrition found that green or unripe papaya contains more healthy carotenoids (lutein, beta-carotene and lycopene) than tomatoes or carrots.

Practice. The preferred style of Vietnamese cooking is steaming or simmering, using less fat. It also encourages communal eating, with each diner dipping an ingredient into a cooking pot. Cooked foods are accompanied by fresh salad greens, including herbs served as whole leaves.

One Great Dish: Vietnamese hot pot is a favorite of Andrea Nguyen, whose Vietnamese family emigrated to California.

Nguyen, author of Into the Vietnamese Kitchen: Treasured Foodways, Modern Flavors, blogs about food at VietWorldKitchen.com and now lives near San Francisco, California.

“This is a slow, cook-it-yourself kind of meal.

Set it up, relax with some organic wine or beer and enjoy. Flavors develop and the hot pot transforms as you eat,” she says. “At the end, you’ll slurp up the remaining broth and noodles.” See Tinyurl.com/Viet-ChineseHotPotRecipe.

French Bonus: While croissants and triple-crème brie might not seem part of an ideal diet, rediscover two healthy practices from the French: Eat less and eat together.

Ongoing studies at Cornell University show that we eat less if offered less. When researcher Paul Rozin, Ph.D., a psychology professor with the University of Pennsylvania, compared portions in Paris, France, and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the Philly portions were 25 percent larger. It’s also reflected in the two countries’ cookbook recipes.

Rozin further found that French diners spent more time eating those smaller portions—perhaps explaining the French paradox: Most French eat rich foods and drink wine, yet don’t get fat.

Cook-It-Yourself Ethnic Recipes

Eat-a-Lot Wakame Sea Vegetable Soup

Yields: 4 servings

Smoky Yellow Split Peas (Tamatar Chana Dal) This vegan and gluten-free recipe traces its roots to Southeast India, where roasting spices to yield nutty-hot flavors creates a layered experience.

Yields: 6 cups

1 cup yellow split peas 1 lb potatoes (Yukon gold or russet), peeled and cut into ½-inch cubes ¼ tsp ground turmeric 2 to 4 dried red cayenne chiles (like chile de arbol), stems discarded 1 Tbsp coriander seeds 1 tsp cumin seeds 1 medium-size tomato, cored and diced 2 Tbsp finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems 1½ tsp coarse kosher or sea salt

Measure the peas into a medium-size saucepan. Cover with water and rinse the grains by rubbing them in-between fingertips.

Drain and repeat three to four times until the water, upon rinsing the peas, remains fairly clear.

Measure and pour 4 cups of water into the pan and bring it to a boil over medium-high heat. When some foam arises, scoop it out and discard it.

Add the potatoes and turmeric to the peas, 30

stirring once or twice. Lower the heat to medium-low and cover the pan. Stew the mélange, stirring occasionally, until the peas are tender, but still firm-looking and the potatoes are cooked, 20 to 25 minutes.

While the peas and potatoes cook, preheat a small skillet over medium-high heat. Once the pan feels hot (a palm held close to the bottom usually feels the heat within 2 to 4 minutes), sprinkle in the chiles, coriander and cumin.

Toast the spices, shaking the pan very frequently, until the chiles blacken and smell smoky-hot and the seeds turn reddish brown and smell strongly aromatic (nutty with citrus undertones), 1 to 2 minutes.

Transfer this spice blend to a blender jar and plunk in the tomato. Purée, scraping the insides of the jar as needed, to make a smooth, reddish brown paste with a smoky aroma.

Once the peas are cooked, scrape the spicy, well-seasoned tomato paste into the pan.

Stir in the cilantro and salt.

Set the heat to medium-high and vigorously boil the dal, uncovered, stirring occasionally, to allow the flavors to mingle and the sauce to slightly thicken, 12 to 15 minutes.

For a thicker sauce, mash some of the peas and potatoes with the back of a spoon.

Serve warm.

Cherries with Parsley, Walnuts and Pomegranate Vinaigrette This salad combines fresh summer fruits from the U.S. and Lebanon. Pomegranate molasses is a bottled condiment available at Middle Eastern markets and specialized grocers.

Yields: 8 servings

Pasta with Caponata Try adding a sliced avocado or a can of tuna fish packed in olive oil.

Yields: 4 servings Caponata: 2 Tbsp olive oil ¾ lb eggplant, peeled and diced (about 2 cups) 1 celery rib (about ½ cup) 1 medium onion, chopped (about 1 cup) 1 small tomato, coarsely chopped (about ½ cup) 2 Tbsp capers packed in vinegar 2 Tbsp wine vinegar 2 tsp natural sugar, optional 1 Tbsp pine nuts Kosher or sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Pasta: ¾ lb farfalle or penne pasta 1 can tuna packed in olive oil, drained (optional) 2 Tbsp grated Parmesan 2 Tbsp julienned fresh basil leaves For the caponata, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the eggplant and cook over medium-high heat, for 15 minutes, until lightly browned, mixing often.

Remove the eggplant with a slotted spoon and add the onions and celery to the skillet.

Lower the heat and sauté, stirring occasionally. When the celery is tender, in about 10 minutes, add the tomatoes.

Cover and continue to cook, mixing the vegetables together, for 10 minutes more.

Add the eggplant.

Drain the capers and soak them in cold water for 15 minutes. Rinse and blot on a paper towel.

In a small pan, heat the vinegar and natural sugar together. As soon as the mixture boils, add desired amount of capers and pine nuts, then salt and pepper to taste.

Simmer for 1 minute, and then add to the eggplant mixture. Cook over a low heat for 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning.

1 qt sweet cherries, pitted and halved ⅓ cup walnuts, toasted and coarsely chopped ¼ cup flat leaf parsley, coarsely chopped 2 tsp pomegranate molasses Juice of ½ lemon 3 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil Pinch kosher salt In a decorative small salad bowl, combine the cherries, walnuts and parsley.

In a small prep bowl, whisk the pomegranate molasses, lemon juice, olive oil and salt until it emulsifies.

Dress the salad with the vinaigrette and serve immediately, or later, at room temperature.

SPICE UP HEALTHY COOKING Six Seasonings with Surprising Payoffs

by Amber Lanier Nagle

S

pices add a punch of extra flavor to our favorite dishes, but they also possess proven health and wellness properties.

From regulating blood sugar to reducing inflammation to helping control appetite, behold the magnificent six.

Garlic (Allium sativum)

“There’s a lot of evidence that suggests garlic supports heart health,” says Rosalee de la Forêt, a clinical herbalist and author of Alchemy of Herbs: Transform Everyday Ingredients into Foods and Remedies that Heal.

A study published in the European Journal of Clinical Nutrition tracked the blood pressure of 79 patients with uncontrolled hypertension and found that the mean systolic blood pressure of those consuming two 240-milligram capsules of aged garlic extract a day for 12 weeks significantly decreased compared to those taking one capsule or a placebo.

“Garlic may also reduce the duration

napalmbeach.com

and severity of colds and flu when taken at the onset of symptoms and each day afterwards,” says de la Forêt, citing a study published in Clinical Nutrition. “I mince a clove and mix it with honey to make it easier to swallow.”

Turmeric (Curcuma longa)

Dr. Lipi Roy, a clinical assistant professor at the New York University School of Medicine and blogger at SpicesForLifemd.com, considers turmeric the golden spice of life. “In addition to its role in Indian and Asian cuisine, turmeric is used in traditional Indian medicine to treat common ailments like stomach upset, ulcers, flatulence, arthritis, sprains, wounds and skin and eye infections,” she says.

A study published in Oncogene concluded that curcumin (the active ingredient in turmeric) was a more potent anti-inflammatory agent than aspirin or ibuprofen. Try adding a little turmeric and ground black pepper to soups, salads and sauces.

Gayvoronskaya_Yana/Shutterstock.com

Black Pepper (Piper nigrum)

Used in India for 4,000 years, black pepper may be the most popular spice of our era.

“Black pepper can increase the amount of nutrients your body absorbs from other food and spices,” says de la Forêt. A study published in Plant Medica concluded that subjects consuming a small amount (20 milligrams) of an extract of black pepper showed an increase of retained curcumin in their bodies. For maximum benefits, grind whole peppercorns directly onto food at mealtime.

Cinnamon (Cinnamomum cassia and Cinnamomum verum)

“One of cinnamon’s super powers is that it may help regulate blood glucose in patients with Type 2 diabetes,” Roy says. In a study published in Diabetic Medicine, subjects taking two grams of cinnamon daily for 12 weeks exhibited much better blood sugar control. Roy suggests sprinkling it on oatmeal, apples, pumpkin pie and brownies. Roast chicken flavored with cinnamon and other spices is another treat.

Ginger (Zingiber officinale)

“Ginger is a rhizome people have traditionally used medicinally to help with digestive issues, including upset stomachs and nausea,” says Karen Kennedy, of Concord, Ohio, a horticulturist and educator at the Herb Society of America.

In a study published in the World Journal of Gastroenterology, researchers concluded that gastric emptying and relief was more rapid after subjects with frequent or severe stomach upsets ingested 1.2 grams of ginger.

Ginger is also linked to increased circulation and reduced inflammation. A study published in Phytotherapy Research noted that this spice also worked in alleviating migraines equal to the pharmaceutical sumatriptan (Imitrex). According to a study in the journal Arthritis, it’s an effective tool in the battle against rheumatoid arthritis.

Ginger adds a zing of healthy flavor to hot teas and stir-fried veggies such as broccoli, green beans, carrots or mushrooms.

Thai. Sushi. Sake

Paprika (Capsicum annuum)

A common spice added to Hungarian, Portuguese, Spanish, Turkish and Indian cuisine, paprika is rich in natural carotenoids (the orangey pigment in many plants with antioxidant power) and capsaicin, both of which may decrease mortality from chronic illnesses.

Another benefit of this capsaicincontaining spice is its ability to control appetite. In research published in the journal Physiology and Behavior, participants that consumed red pepper spice had a slightly higher core temperature and energy expenditure after a meal than the control group.

The study further suggested that those that consumed capsaicin-containing spices like paprika ate fewer calories per day and had less interest in food.

“Paprika is a great salt alternative, too,” says Roy. “Too often, people think they are craving salt, but they aren’t. They are craving flavor, and paprika gives a nice kick to chili, salad, grilled cheese and so many other foods.”

ver since skin cancer scares penetrated the national psyche in the mid-1980s, Americans have been conditioned to cover up and slather on sunscreen when we leave the house. Now experts say we haven’t been doing ourselves a favor, even when strictly using all-natural formulas. We’ve been blocking the sun’s life-giving rays, essential for the body’s production of vitamin D, and possibly prompting a host of health problems.

“Ninety percent of the vitamin D we get comes from the sun, and exposing arms and legs for a few minutes a day is enough for most people with no risk of skin cancer,” says Registered Nurse Sue Penckofer, Ph.D., a professor in the School of Nursing at Chicago’s Loyola University.

tor who has pioneered vitamin D research at the Boston University Medical Center. A 40-year professor at the Boston University School of Medicine, he’s a fervent advocate of sensible sun exposure.

“Vitamin D is actually a hormone, essential for bone and muscle health. It plays a significant role in reducing the risk of infectious diseases, including cardiovascular problems and certain cancers, contributes to brain function and memory, and elevates mood, all while reducing early mortality,” explains Holick, author of The Vitamin D Solution: A 3-Step Strategy to Cure Our Most Common Health Problem. Yet, he says, about half of all Americans are among the 1 billion people worldwide that are vitamin D deficient.

Published vitamin D research in the U.S. National Library of Medicine turns up 74,486 studies and citations dating back to 1922, with nearly half done in the past 10 years; 478 of the total were authored or co-authored by Holick or cited his research.

His work confirms that sensible sun exposure and supplementing with natural vita-

At least 10 hours a week outdoors in sunshine is crucial for children under 6 for development of healthy eyes. Otherwise, the risk of myopia increases, which in turn lends risk for cataracts and glaucoma in adulthood. ~University of Sydney Adolescent and Eye Study of 2,000 children min D3 brings vitamin D levels to the optimal 40 to 60 nanograms per milliliter (ng/ml). New research from the University of Surrey, in the UK, found D3 twice as effective in raising vitamin D levels as D2, which is often synthetically produced.

While the human body manufactures vitamin D as a response

to sun exposure, eating certain foods like fatty fish, egg yolks and cheese can help. Fortifying foods with the vitamin is controversial.

“It’s interesting that the right sun exposure will correct D deficiency rapidly, but won’t create an excess. Our bodies stop producing the hormone vitamin D once we have enough,” says Dr. Robert Thompson, an obstetrician, gynecologist and nutrition specialist in Anchorage, Alaska, and author of The Calcium Lie II: What Your Doctor Still Doesn’t Know.

Bare Minimum Holick, who differentiates between unhealthy tanning and healthy sun exposure, recommends exposing arms and legs to noonday sun for five to 10 minutes three times a week for most people. He adds, “Everyone needs 1,500 to 2,000 international units of vitamin D3 [supplements] a day year-round, and obese people need two to three times that much, because their ability to manufacture vitamin D is impaired.”

Penckofer’s research confirms that fair-skinned people absorb the sun’s rays easily and quickly, while darker-skinned people have a natural sunblock, so they need much longer sun exposure to absorb the UVB rays that trigger the production of vitamin D. She remarks that inadequate vitamin D is a possible explanation for the greater risk of high blood pressure observed in African-Americans.

Holick contends that anyone living north of Atlanta, Georgia, cannot get enough winter sun exposure to maintain optimal vitamin D levels. “While vitamin D can be stored in the body for up to two months, a winter-induced deficiency is a convincing explanation for the seasonal affective disorder that strikes many in northern states in January, just two months after the weather turns too cold to get sufficient sun exposure,” explains Penckofer.

“In Alaska, we eat lots of fatty fish and take D supplements in winter. We know there’s no chance we’re getting the D we need from the sun, even when we’re sunbathing in negative 30 degrees Fahrenheit temperatures,” quips Thompson.

hen life makes a long workout impossible, a 10-minute, totalbody fitness routine can be super-efficient and effective, if done right.

To maximize results, strategically order the exercises to work different muscles each time, allowing one set of muscles to rest while working another. This is the basis for a 10-step workout that Franklin Antoian, an American Council on Exercise-certified personal trainer and founder of iBodyFit, created for SilverSneakers.

The steps can be part of a regular routine or done on their own three times a week every other day, gradually working up to five days a week. Needed equipment includes a chair, light dumbbells (or filled water bottles or food cans), a yoga block (or small soft ball or pillow) and a watch or timer.

Given extra time, warm up by walking in place for five minutes, and then perform each exercise in order for one minute, doing as many reps as possible. Try not to rest between exercises. If a full minute feels too challenging, start with 45 seconds of exercise and 15 seconds of rest.

WALL PUSHUPS. Stand at arm’s length away from a wall with feet hip-width apart. Place palms shoulder-width apart on the wall. Bend elbows and lower the upper body toward the wall, keeping the core tight and straight. Pause, and then press back to the starting position and repeat. Continue for one minute. Make it harder by taking a step back from the wall, pushing out from a kneeling position.

ARM CIRCLES. Stand with feet hipwidth apart. Extend arms straight out to each side at shoulder height with palms facing down.

Swing arms forward in a circular motion for 30 seconds, and then backward for 30 seconds. Keep shoulders down and back and elbows slightly bent.

SEATED ADDUCTION. Sit in a chair with a yoga block between the knees. Press knees together to squeeze the device, pause for three seconds. Relax and repeat. Continue for one minute.

HIP EXTENSION. Start on hands and knees with palms flat on the floor, shoulder-width apart. Align the neck and back while looking down or slightly forward. With foot flexed and knee bent, slowly raise the right foot toward the ceiling until the thigh is parallel with the floor. Pause, and then lower. Continue for 30 seconds, and then repeat with the left leg. To make it easier, try it while standing, keeping the lifted leg straight, and hold the back of a chair for support.

BRIDGE. Lie face-up on the floor with knees bent and feet flat. Press heels firmly and raise hips to form a straight line from shoulders to knees. Pause for three seconds in this position, and then lower and repeat. Continue for one minute.

CLAMSHELL. Lie on the floor on the left side, with hips and knees bent 45 degrees, the right leg on top of the left, heels together. Keeping feet together, raise the top knee as high as possible without moving the pelvis or letting the bottom leg leave the floor. Pause, and then return to the starting position. Continue for 30 seconds; switch sides and repeat.

SEATED KNEE RAISE. Sit at the front of the chair with knees bent and feet flat, holding onto the sides for balance. Keeping the knee bent, lift the right leg about six inches off the floor.

Pause for three seconds, and then lower and repeat with the left leg.

Continue alternating for one minute.

BICEPS CURL. Stand with feet hip-width apart. Hold dumbbells with arms at each side, palms facing forward. Keeping the upper arms still, bend both elbows to bring the dumbbells as close to the shoulders as possible. Pause, and then slowly lower and repeat. Each time arms return to the starting position, completely straighten them. Continue for one minute. Make it easier with slow and controlled reps without using dumbbells.

Ilona Selke on the

Power of Dreaming Big

by April Thompson

F

or 30 years, international bestselling author, teacher and speaker Ilona Selke has inspired thousands of people worldwide to create a more fulfilling life by discovering the power of their consciousness.

She’s the author of six books, including Dream Big: The Universe is Listening and The Big Secret, co-authored with Jack Canfield. Her Living from Vision course, available in six languages including Chinese, teaches how to use the power of visualization to tap into our highest potential and deepest dreams in order to manifest miracles.

Born in the Himalayas to German parents, Selke spent her first three years in Afghanistan speaking Persian and German, and then grew up in Germany. She moved to the U.S. at age 20 to study philosophy, where she met her husband and partner, Don Paris.

The couple spent 25 years studying and communicating with dolphins in natural waters, experiences shared through her books Wisdom of the Dolphins and Dolphins, Love and Destiny. They split their time between a geodesic dome home on a Northwest Pacific island and the Shambala retreat center they founded in Bali.

What is key to manifesting our dreams and desires?

It’s a four-step process. First, form a clear description in your mind, positively framed and based on your passion. No matter how big the dream, if you are behind it heart and soul, you will manifest miracles. Next, imagine the scenario as if it has already happened. The third and most vital step is to feel the feeling of your fulfilled wish as 38

Palm Beach Edition

if it has already manifested. Fourth, create a metaphorical image that represents the feeling.

By applying this method, our clients have manifested a desired pregnancy, funding for an overseas orphanage and redemption of a suicidal teen. In the latter case, the young man went on to focus on his dream of learning jazz piano well enough to play benefit concerts for children being treated for cancer.

Which universal principles are at work behind manifestation?

We live in a conscious, interactive universe, and it is listening. Our Western scientific mindset may not support the idea, but thousands of years of mystical teachings, as well as new understanding via quantum physics, teach that the observer is an intricate part of what appears to be solid matter.

napalmbeach.com

In practice, it means we can communicate intentionally with the universe. When we learn to do so, it responds to us.

How do our thoughts affect our reality?

All our thoughts, subconscious as well as conscious, affect how things manifest around us. If we have contradictory beliefs, it is hard to manifest things. For example, if we say we want money, but somehow believe that money is dirty, evil or undeserved, then we are pushing and pulling against ourselves.

It’s important to dive into our subconscious mind and heart, and deal with the negative feelings that dwell there, such as hurt, sadness and trauma. Make this a daily activity—cleaning your emotional being.

Eventually, your subconscious and conscious mind as well as the superconscious will all point in one direction and you will see your desired results. We guide people to build their success, aspirations and dreams in alignment with their deepest values as well as their purpose in life. Uniting purpose and direction is tremendous fuel for moving in the direction of your dreams.

Why does choosing goals aligned with our purpose make them manifest more easily?

Personal goals and inner purpose are not always aligned for everyone. However, when you take time to become aware of your deepest dreams, you may find that a part of your purpose is embedded in them.

Be aware that many people confuse their larger life purpose with their talents.

Our talents are what we love to do, what we are good at. Yet our deeper purpose actually is to shine more light and share more love. That is the common true root to our purpose.

My suggestion is to read books that share success stories from those that are living on purpose and provide step-by-step instructions on how to get there.

Reclaim Your Magic Make Your World Wondrous Again

W

by Paige Leigh Reist

e are all born with magic, but somewhere along the way, life tends to stomp it out of us. When we are living in our magic, we become curious, passionate and energetic.

We thrive. Here are five ways to begin to reclaim our own special vibrancy.

1

LIVE WITH EARTH’S CYCLES Our planet teaches by example how to live in harmony with the seasons. Rest in the winter, awake to new beginnings in spring and rejoice in summer’s bounty. Give extra thanks in autumn. Live by and with the land, and watch how goodness magically blooms into being.

2

EXERCISE INTUITION Trusting in our intuition is generally discouraged from a young age. We’re taught to ignore it in favor of logic, following social scripts and displaying expected behaviors. We’re told whom to look to for answers, definitions of right and wrong and true and false, and that grown-ups always know best.

A powerful way to counteract this conditioning is to come to trust ourselves.

Intuition is like a muscle—the more we use it, the more powerful it becomes. The spiritual “still small voice” won’t lead us astray.

COMMUNE Speaking our truth is transformative.

CELEBRATE Spend time thinking about what it is that comprises the essence of oneself and celebrate it—that is where magic lives.

Often, the qualities that carry our magic may have been put down. Sensitivity can be considered weakness. Determination might be termed stubbornness. But if we unabashedly love and celebrate these qualities in ourself, we begin to re-conceptualize them as sources of strength and power, and magic seeps through.

5

STOP ACCEPTING THE MUNDANE Let go of anything that does more to limit rather than propel progress. Review media habits, relationships, jobs and character traits, and be ruthless in pruning what needs to go.

Try to interact only with people, activities and things that produce glowing feelings of inspiration, fulfillment and buzzing vitality. Assess habits honestly and choose meaningful substance over comfort, ease and familiarity.

Palm Beach Edition

Step One: Empathize with a Child’s Experience While the desired outcome is to help a child embrace a different point of view of their situation, the first goal is not to come on too strong with an agenda of change. Instead, start from where they are, based on an expressed emotion. Reflect this with words, a hug or a gesture. Thoroughly accepting how a child feels doesn’t necessarily imply agreeing or sharing the same view, but it does release them from having to show how bad they feel. So when a child says, “I feel like I’m in jail,” resist the urge to say, “Are you crazy?” Rather than try to steer them off their course, go in the direction of their swerve to help direct them back to their best self.

The key is to normalize the experience without minimizing it.

Exhibiting too much good cheer means they have no choice but to be grumpy to get their point across. Introduce the idea of choice: “Your thoughts are making you feel really bad.

I wonder if there is something different we could do.” Don’t oppressively correct them with the right answer; it makes a child feel bad for being wrong.

Step Two: Relabel

1205 N. Federal Highway Lake Worth, FL 33460

561-547-4711

This is a family master plan for helping both children and adults resist negative thinking.

Please visit our website for a complete list of practices and events

napalmbeach.com

Instead of being led down a thorny patch lined with terrible impossibilities and accusations, we might steel ourselves to remain calm, get some distance or take our thoughts with a grain of salt. Relabeling begins with noticing a familiar ring to a child’s thoughts and distress; like us, they can

Rawpixel.com/Shutterstock.com

also learn to recognize when “Mr. Negative” appears. Then they’re better prepared for discussion. As parents, when we learn to predict, “Yep, I knew my negative thinking was going to jump to that conclusion,” we can decide to choose other interpretations.

Step Three: Specify What Went Wrong Don’t be tempted to try to solve the huge problem initially presented, such as, “I hate my life, everything is terrible, I can’t do anything right.” The goal is actually much smaller, so teach a child to shrink it by narrowing down from some global form to the specific offending thought or situation that needs to be addressed. With young children, frame this approach as doing detective work to locate the source of the problem; with older children, explain that it’s usually a triggering event that makes us feel really bad—the straw that broke the camel’s back.

It’s key to helping them know what to do to feel better.

Step Four: Optimize and Rewire When a child is thinking negatively, their thoughts stall, their strengths and resources lock up, and their energy, motivation and hopefulness are drained. Try different settings or perspectives on the specific problem the child has identified and choose the version or interpretation that works best for them, one that is the least damaging, most accurate and gets their system moving in a new direction.

Step Five: Mobilize to Be the Change When we can’t think our way out of a mood, we can move ourselves out of it. Like picking up the needle on a skipping record and putting it down elsewhere, doing something active helps the brain engage in something enjoyable until our nervous system recovers.

Thoughts, like a windup toy with its wheels

against a wall, can keep spinning fruitlessly in place until manually turned in a new direction.

Redirecting differs from distracting ourself from negative thoughts. Distractions play hide-and-seek with negativity; eventually, it will find us again. The master plan in caring for a child calls for us to first dismantle the power of whatever perspective is bullying them, correctly value ideas and then focus on what matters most. Whether we’re accepting or dismissing thoughts that suggest themselves, either way, we’re the boss because thoughts have only the power we give them and we are equipped to let them float on by or to amend, correct or replace them.

Psychologist Tamar Chansky, Ph.D., is the founder and director of the Children’s and Adult Center for OCD and Anxiety, in Plymouth Meeting, PA. Her many books include Freeing Your Child from Negative Thinking.

hen Jacques Pépin was growing up in France during World War II, he watched his mother use every scrap of food to meet the family’s needs, and then send him to live with a farmer in summer so her growing son could eat fresh from the farm. Today, the internationally renowned PBS-TV chef and cookbook author carries these sensibilities forward at his home and studio in Madison, Connecticut.

“In Europe, and certainly in France, healthy food is much more expensive,” he says. “In America, a chef may have the person that washes dishes also prepare salads.

With lettuce, he’ll cut off the whole top, cut out the heart and throw out the rest.”

U.S. restaurant kitchens mirror home kitchens, where the average family throws away a quarter of the food they buy, wasting an average of $2,200 a year. These scraps mean wasted food and money at home, plus misspent resources to grow and transport the food. According to a report by the National Resource Defense Council, “Getting food to our tables eats up 10 percent of the total U.S. energy budget, uses 50 percent of U.S. land and swallows 80 percent of the fresh water consumed in the United States.”

napalmbeach.com

To save money and also live better, here are just some of many easy ways to use up every bit of fresh produce we buy.

Asparagus Ends

Self-described “frugal foodie” Diana Johnson, of Auburn, Washington, never lets asparagus ends go to waste. With the help of a blender, she turns them into a creamy asparagus soup—minus the cream—that her family loves (Tinyurl.com/AsparagusSoupTips).

Broccoli, Swiss Chard and Spinach Stems

Thrifty cooks know the magic of quick pickles. Recycle the brine from pickles and pack thinly cut stems of broccoli, Swiss chard and mature spinach into the jar until covered with the brine, then seal and refrigerate. In a few days, these quick pickles will be ready for snacking and sandwiches.

Carrot and Beet Tops

Very fine carrot tops can be used like parsley. With a food processor or high-speed blender, transform them into a favorite pesto or salsa verde recipe, suggests Registered Dietitian and nutritionist Madeline Basler, of Long Island, New York. One of

Alexander Raths/Shutterstock.com

her go-to’s is her Earth Day Carrot Top Pesto (Tinyurl.com/CarrotTopPestoRecipe).

Beet greens can be sautéed like spinach, in a little extra-virgin olive oil with garlic, as a veggie side.

Fruit Snippets Stray grapes, a half-finished peach, overripe bananas, wrinkly berries and the core of a pineapple can all go in the freezer, and then into a smoothie.

Leftover Wine Freeze what’s left in the bottle in ice cube trays, suggests Anisha Jhaveri, a film writer and wine lover in New York City. It can add flavor to soups and stews, sauces and desserts like wine-poached pears.

Lemon Peels The limonene in lemon peels is a natural cleaner and degreaser, says blogger Jill Nystul, of Salt Lake City, Utah. She makes her own Citrus Vinegar All-Purpose Cleanser by simply packing lemon peels in

a jar and topping with vinegar. See how at Tinyurl.com/HomemadeCitrusCleaners.

Vegetable Peels and Trimmings Instead of throwing out onion skins, carrot peels, celery leaves and tough leek stems, collect them in a freezer bag over time and store in the freezer. When enough has accumulated to fill a pot, make homemade vegetable stock, suggests Sonnet Lauberth, a certified holistic health coach, blogger and cookbook author in Seattle (InSonnetsKitchen.com/how-to-makeperfect-vegetable-stock-for).

At home, Pépin makes “fridge soup” once a week. “Whatever is left in the fridge— carrots, lettuce, a piece of leftover meat or whatever else I made the other day—goes into the soup,” says Pépin. “We finish it with some vermicelli or polenta or good bread.”

A delicious meal, shared with family and friends, makes frugality festive.

Avoid clutter in the refrigerator and freezer; if we can’t see it, we won’t eat it.

Sprouts for Pets

Crunchy Nutrition Animals Will Love

Notorious for being picky eaters, cats might balk at sprouts being added to their regular diet. Rather than upsetting the status quo, grow sprouts like alfalfa or barley on a handy windowsill for grazing. “My cats prefer self-serve,” observes veterinarian Carol Osborne, owner of the Chagrin Falls Veterinary Center & Pet Clinic, in Ohio.

“Now they leave my house plants alone.”

Both cats and dogs may show improved gastric intestinal health as a result.

Dogs Dogs are more accepting of new content in their food bowl. “Add just a few sprouts so

a dog gets used to the slightly bitter taste.

Once acclimated, one-eighth to one-quarter cup daily per 20 pounds of the pet’s weight is the rule of thumb,” says Osborne.

She counsels against serving Fido onion, garlic, corn or mushroom sprouts. Peas, sunflowers, radishes, alfalfa and clover are suggested; they are all tasty and easy to grow.

Birds “We encourage people to make their own sprouts.

It’s easy to get quality seeds for legumes or grains from Whole Foods, BobsRedMill.com or Nuts.com,” says Ann Brooks, president of the all-volunteer Phoenix Landing Foundation, in Asheville, North Carolina. They provide educational activities and facilitate adoption of birds,

from parakeets to macaws. Sprouts from the store can be risky, because of bacteria, she cautions. “If not growing your own, the only one I recommend is the organic crunchy mix from SunnyCreekFarm.com. Be sure to get the freshest date possible.”

“One of my favorite sprouts is mung beans, because they appear in two days or less. Birds like the crunch,” says Brooks. “Sprouts are safe to leave in the cage all day because they are live foods.”

marijonas/Shutterstock.com

Horses When adding sprouts to a horse’s regular diet, it’s important to balance the intake. “A lot of barns feed forage three times a day. I know of a couple that feed one meal of sprouts and the other two of hay,” says Clair Thunes, Ph.D., a consulting equine nutritionist with Summit Equine Nutrition in Sacramento, California. “Several companies sell systems for large-scale growing.” The sprouts grow with matted roots in what is called a biscuit, weighing about 18 pounds. Difficult to mix with other feed, the biscuits are fed separately, roots and all.

“Because of sporadic drought conditions, the idea of growing your own fodder became more popular, thinking it might make forage supply more dependable and possibly cheaper after initial startup costs,” Thunes explains. “Owners have a sense of control over what the horse eats, there’s less reliance on a supplier and the seeds are less expensive than hay. Due to moisture and nutritional differences, you can’t swap sprouts and hay pound for pound. It’s best to consult a veterinarian or nutritionist.” Sprouts contain a lot of moisture and have an inverted calcium phosphorus ratio that has to be accounted for she says.

Horses enjoy barley, sunflower and flax sprouts for variety.

The high moisture content may help reduce the risk of intestinal impaction and resulting colic.

Good for All “Sprouts are a healthy form of nutrition and a hip way for both pets and people to enjoy greens,” says Osborne. “They’re a great go-to powerhouse of nutrition, often more nutritious than the adult plant.”

ACUPRESSURE:

Self-Treatment Points

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

A

cupuncture and acupressure have been around for thousands of years. Various forms and variations have been found in almost all ancient cultures around the world. The Chinese, Indians, Egyptians, North and South American native people, Eskimos, you name it; they’ve all done some form of acupuncture and acupressure. In America, Benjamin Franklin’s great-grandson, Dr. Franklin Bache, wrote the first medical acupuncture article in the U.S. Acupuncture and acupressure were used during the Civil war in the mid 1800’s, and were included also in well-known medical textbooks around the beginning of the 1900’s.

Acupuncture popularity and research have grown exponentially in the last thirty years, mostly in China, Japan, Europe, America and Canada. Thousands of books and research papers have been written in dozens of languages. Almost every known disease, every organ system in the body, as well as psychiatric conditions have all been researched and affected by acupuncture. The FDA,

in 1996, reclassified acupuncture needles as medical devices, and the National Institutes of Health is spending millions of dollars on acupuncture research. Legislation is in Congress at this time trying to get acupuncture accepted by Medicare. The World Health Organization (WHO) recognizes acupuncture for a variety of conditions, and mainstream medical organizations like the American Osteopathic Association (AOA) “recognizes that acupuncture may be part of the armamentarium of qualified and licensed physicians.”

So let me share with you some knowledge of acupuncture points and encourage you to do acupressure on yourself and your loved ones. Since you don’t have acupuncture needles or training, self-acupressure can be a satisfying alternative. I will describe the points, their location and effects. If you want more detail you might get some acupuncture books or find pictures and information on the internet.

This will get you started.

Acupuncture points are named and numbered and all have long descriptions and stories to go with each one. They can be needled or stimulated with your fingers (acupressure) either alone or in combinations and sequences with other points.

Usually, if you simply rub an acupressure point with your thumb or finger for 10-30 seconds, you will get some of its effects.

Sometimes warming them with a hot towel or vibrating them with a small vibrator helps, too. Adding Bach Flower remedies or other homeopathic remedies as well as various essential oils can add to your desired effects. The combinations are endless.

LI 4: (LARGE INTESTINE 4) is one of the largest and more

important points in the body. It is located in the center of the flesh between the first and second metacarpal bones, in the web between the thumb and first finger. It is a major energy point, and stimulates all Yang levels. Yin and Yang are the two major classifications of energy in the body, and each has a huge explanation for it. Yin is described as female, inner and cooler, while Yang is described as male, outer and warmer. They are relative terms and are best described in relation to each other, like two sides of the same coin, or the dark side (Yin) and light side (Yang) of a mountain in the sunlight. LI 4 strengthens against infections, and treats all pains, especially in the head. Headaches, toothaches, sore throats, sinusitis and nose problems, eye problems, tinnitus, insomnia and agitation, and itchy, allergic skin problems are all treated by this very strong and important point. Combined with LR 3 or ST 36 adds to its effects.

LR 3: (LIVER 3) is to the foot what LI 4 is to the hand. It is in the space between the tendons of the first and second toes, about an inch or two back from the web between the toes. It stimulates Yin energy. It treats all foot problems, eye problems, nasal congestion, insomnia and irritability, nausea and vomiting, menstrual disorders and headaches. In fact, when LI 4 and LR 3 are used together they are called the “Four Gates” in Chinese, and are used for most disorders.

ST 36: (STOMACH 36) with LI 4 are the two largest and

strongest points in the body. It is located about four finger-breadths below the kneecap about an inch lateral (on the outer edge) to the tibia (leg bone). It supports Yang energy and can be used for almost any condition.

All disorders of the digestive system such as nausea, vomiting, indigestion, gastritis and diarrhea; all pain problems; dizziness; respiratory problems; the list goes on and on.

It calms the spirit and is also called the Point of Godly Equanimity.

KI 3: (KIDNEY 3) is also a very strong

point. It is located on the inside of the ankle in the depression between the medial malleolus (ankle bone) and the Achilles tendon.

It is Yin, and strengthens the body’s energies (both Yin and Yang actually). It is used for any kidney problem, back pain, menstrual difficulty, edema and arthritis.

BL 60: (BLADDER 60) is opposite KI 3, i.e., on the outside of

the ankle in the depression between the lateral malleolus (other ankle bone) and the Achilles tendon. It is used very often together with KI 3 for pains of all kinds, from head to neck to back to knees or ankles and feet. It is Yang, and draws energy down and out.
