letterfrompublisherWhat are the secrets of a happy life? That is the question

writer Judith Fertig explores in this month’s feature article, “Life Lift: Being Happy from the Inside Out.” Who doesn’t want to feel happy all the time?

I feel continually blessed to be able to do what I love every day, and now that I have a business reason to travel the beautiful country roads of the Pocono Mountains and Warren County even more than before, I feel in even greater touch with nature and the possibilities for growth that a healthy life brings. Deep gratitude goes to all of our advertisers and readers for making it possible for us to reach thousands more natural health fans. I feel privi-leged to be able to collaborate with you all in educating individuals, families and our larger community in ways to live naturally healthy, happy and well. Participating in this endeavor comprises true happiness for me.

In honor of Father’s Day this month we naturally shine a spotlight on Men’s Wellness and Inspired Living. Being a father to an almost-14-year-old son has been the biggest blessing of my life. Our Inspiration department documents a great truth that men come to understand once they have children. Dad Clint Kel-ly offers proven advice on how to build strong father and daughter relationships that will last a lifetime. We also explore spiritual growth for men and profi le the enthusiasm for healthy living that Joseph Kressley brings to his Green Earth Natu-ral Foods store in Emmaus. No men’s issue would be complete without healthy summer grilling recipes for the self-proclaimed King of the Grill in every family.

Summer provides abundant opportunities to strengthen bonds with family and friends. It’s often memories of the unexpected, unplanned and unhurried summer moments that I always remember with a smile. Like shagging fl y base-balls that my dad could hit a country mile. With my son, Garrett, it’s doing silly jumps from the dock into the lake, dropping into the river from a rope swing, and building the biggest inland lake and canal system on the beach. These are the glory days. Now another summer awaits…

Here’s to making it great!

Reid Boyer, Publisher

Fourth of July Race to Support YMCA

The 15th annual Fire-cracker Four-Miler

run/walk and free kids fun run will be held July 4, at Fairview Park, in Palmer Township, to benefit youth wellness programs at the Family YMCA of Eas-ton, Phillipsburg and Vicinity

This year’s race is dedicated to the memory of Spencer H. Smith, who became a member of the Y family in 1995. Smith was a workout enthusiast and after retiring from LSI, could be seen every morning in the wellness center.

AccuCare Chiropractic will be checking posture and spines before and after the race and a therapist will be giving chair massages.

Volunteer at Care Alternatives Hospice

Care Alternatives Hospice has volunteer openings for compassionate, empathetic individuals that want to enhance their lives by giving time to those in the com-

munity that are in need. Hospice volunteers play a crucial role in providing com-passion and empathy by making friendly visits to a patient to read a book, play a board game or just hold their hand.

Care Alternatives also utilizes the gifts and talents of alternative practitioners, such as massage therapists, Reiki therapists, pet therapists and music therapists. Making crafts for patients and their families or supporting the offi ce staff are other ways to get involved and support the hospice team.

Volunteers receive extensive training, focused on learning the philosophy of hospice care and understanding the responsibilities and duties of caring for patients and their families, covering the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of death and dying.

For more information about volunteering, contact Marina McGough at 215-542-2100. See ad, page 41.

2013 Alliance Directory is Here!

A key part of the work of the Alli-ance for Sustainable Communities-

Lehigh Valley is to share and publicize information from organizations and businesses that promotes sustainable communities. Their annual directory supplies information to thousands about the many organizations and businesses that promote sustainability in the Lehigh Valley, and provides a view of the size and scope of the local sustainability movement. The 2013 Al-liance Directory is now available at

many nonprofi ts and businesses throughout the Lehigh Valley—a list is available on the website at SustainLV.org.

Published since 2004, this is the Directory’s tenth year. A major section in the Alliance’s 100-page Sustainable Lehigh Val-ley booklet, the Directory lists some 250 organizations, businesses, and governmental agencies that promote sustainable communities. In addition to the expected contact information, listings contain de-scriptions of each organization and business so the Directory user can be clear about what each organization or business does. There is also an index by category.

In addition, Sustainable Lehigh Valley features a “Voices of the Valley” section containing essays from diverse perspectives about the actions, projects, and concerns of those promoting sustainabil-ity here.

For more information, call 484-851-3045, email [email protected] or visit SustainLV.org.

A Healthy 30 for 30

Frey’s Better Foods, in Hellertown, will be celebrating 30 years in business during June with

a 30% customer discount on any one product, free raffl es and product samples all month long. Established

in 1983 by the Frey family, the store is known for its high quality products, competitive prices and knowledgeable staff. Originally established as

a vitamin and supplement store, Frey’s continues to meet the growing needs of modern consumers with a full line of groceries, bulk foods, local pasture-raised meats, tofu, raw milk, dairy-free milks and gluten-free products to go along with supplements.

“Our goal has always been to keep Hellertown and the surrounding community healthy,” says Diane Haas. “Our customers’ needs for healthy living do not change but their knowledge of the food industry has changed dramatically. Families are more aware and more concerned with how their kids eat. People are seeing what’s happened to our conventional food supply and they are making different choices. We want to thank our loyal customers and invite everyone to stop in during the month of June and get to know us.”

Frey’s Better Foods is located at 1575 Main Street, in Hellertown. Hours of operation are Monday-Thursday 9:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Fridays 9:30 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturdays 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. See ad on page 9 for discount coupon.


Summer Special For Deep Relaxation

Sharon Bouton, of Stillpoint Therapy Center, in Easton, is offering a special

summer discount on one-hour cran-iosacral therapy sessions through August at an introductory price of 45 minutes for $55 ($70 value). Craniosacral therapy is a gentle therapy that targets improved functioning of the central nervous system and typically results in a very deep state of relaxation. No needles or massage lubri-cant are required.

During a session, the client remains fully dressed (loose clothing is recom-mended) and lies face-up on a massage ta-ble. Gentle techniques release restrictions in the soft tissue (fascia) that surrounds the brain and spinal column. Many people have found relief from migraines and

Pooches Enjoy the Dog Days of Summer

Priority Dog, a canine cage-free boarding and daycare center in New Tripoli, is now booking summer vacation

boarding and daycare for dogs whose owners consider hap-piness and contentment of their pets a requirement in their absence. Dogs can go back to nature by running, playing and relaxing in the wide-open space of six securely fenced acres. Emphasis is on the quality of exercise at Priority Dog.

newsbriefs Priority Dog is located in the serene country-side where dogs breathe clean, fresh air. Dogs are free to go inside or outside on their own and the land is maintained without the use of chemicals. The owner, Susan Fanok, a certified veterinary technician, established Priority Dog because of a passion for dogs. “We wanted to create an environment that allowed 24-hour socialization and where dogs can be dogs,” states

Fanok. “Dogs love it. This is truly a unique dog experience.”

Priority Dog is located close to the in-tersection of Routes 100 and 309 at 5890 Kistler Road in New Tripoli. Boarding times are available by calling 484-553-6110 or visiting PriorityDog.com. See ad, page 48.

Make the Most of Organic Produce

Michelle Trent, of The Joyful Elephant, will present a two-part live cooking

demonstration, Taste of the Farmer’s Market, from 6:30 to 8:30, June 18 and August 1, at the demonstration kitchen at the NCC Fowler Center, in Bethlehem. While we have all brought home fresh, organic food from the farmers’ market, not everyone is aware of the myriad ways it can be cooked in healthy recipes to preserve nutrients.

Trent will increase her audience’s confidence in selecting and preparing fresh greens and vegetables, review what produce is available locally and explain the benefits of buying local. The class is divided into two parts to take advantage of the vegetables that are available at different times during the growing season.

Cost is $25 each in advance or $30 day of class. Pay only $40 to preregister for both demonstrations. For directions and registration, visit JoyfulElephant.com/demo.html. See ad, page 60.

Meet the Animals at Gress Mountain Ranch Summer Camp

The nonprofit Gress Mountain Ranch in Orefield will host a Ranch Camp for three weeks this summer, from 9 a.m.

to 2 p.m., June 17 to 21, July 8 to 12 and August 5 to 9.The ranch is home to more than 50 animals that have

been neglected or abused. Children from third to eight grade may sign up a week full of activities, excitement and engagement, with donkey cart rides, needle felt-ing, games, horsemanship and more.

Kids can also work directly with the animals, feeding and caring for them and learning each of their personalities. They will learn the value of teamwork and even meet and observe a veterinarian in action for an afternoon.

Make Kombucha Tea at Home or at Work

Kombucha is tea that has been fermented using a culture. The process originated in Asia and is

prized there for its medicinal properties of immunity enhancement and system detoxification. Traditionally brewed in the home, sweet-ened tea is transformed into a fizzy, tart and magical beverage, rich in beneficial acids and enzymes, but low in sugar and caffeine. Kombucha is an excellent bever-age for athletes or anyone seeking a performance-enhancing beverage.

One Brew Kombucha, in Bethlehem, assists people to successfully brew raw, live, authentic kombucha by initiating the process in their home or place of busi-ness. Their cultures are grown with exclusively organic ingredients and are trans-ported in glass bottles. Once the system is set up, individuals can continue their own brewing as long as they like. Kombucha costs pennies to make, even organi-cally.

For more information, call Liz Lang at 610-737-1039, email [email protected] or visit OneBrewKombucha.com. See ad, page 17.

Ayurvedic Treatments by Betsy Montanari in Bethlehem

Kula Heart Yoga & Well-ness Center is now offering

ayurvedic treatments designed to help stimulate and aid the removal of toxins, as well as create a deep sense of balance. They use oil blends from Sarada Ayurvedic Remedies, prepared in India in the traditional way.

The herbs are collected and purifi ed before being added to the oil. They are cooked in a time-honored tradition on a slow fi re in brass vessels and allowed to mature for at least 30 days, with constant care and intention. The herbs have a chance to permeate and energize the oil, which then acts as the carrier, bringing the healing effects deeply into the body.

Treatments include an herbal oil treatment and exfoliation. The dry, silk-glove exfoliation, followed by a rhythmic, full-body application of warm herbalized oils, custom-blended for each ayurvedic body type, rejuvenates the immune system and balances the body/mind.

Location: 400 Bath Pike (512/Center St.) Ste. 201, Bethle-hem, PA. For more information, call Susan Amato, LMT, RYT, at 610-746-5852 or visit KulaHeartYoga.com. See ad, page 61.

healthbriefsPSA Testing ControversyMen face a new dilemma at their annual physical

this year—should they be screened for prostate cancer? Last year, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) recommended against routine screen-ing for this form of cancer, regardless of age. Some doctors claim this will cause treatable prostate cancer cases to be missed. The level of prostate-specific antigen (PSA), a pro-tein produced by the prostate gland, can be measured with a simple blood test. Until the USPSTF issued its recommendation, doctors routinely used the test to screen men 50 and older. The task force, however, concluded there is at least moderate certainty that the potential harms of PSA testing outweigh the benefits; many benign conditions, particularly prostate infections and enlargement, can elevate PSA readings higher than normal, prompting more aggressive testing. Before deciding on the test, it helps for men to explore this issue with their doc-tor. Some physicians take a “wait and see” approach and retest several times over a few months before making a recommendation; others suggest an immediate biopsy if PSA levels are high. While a blood test is a benign procedure, a prostate biopsy is not. A high PSA reading coupled with an overly aggressive doctor can cause anxiety and result in additional—and possibly unneeded—medical treatment.

ExcEssivE DiEtary Fat May HinDEr concEptionOne reason for a

couple’s inabil-ity to conceive could be linked to too much fat in the male’s diet. A study by Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital of 99 U.S. men uncovered an association between a high fat intake and lower sperm count and concentration. Results were published in the journal Human Reproduction. Men that consumed the most satu-rated fats had a 35 percent lower total sperm count and 38 percent lower sperm concentration than men that ate the least amount of such fats. Moreover, men that ate more omega-3 polyunsaturated fats—the type of healthful fat often found in fish and plant oils—had better-formed sperm than men that ate less.

FlavonoiDs protEct MEn against parkinson’sFindings published

in the journal Neurology add to a growing body of evidence that regular con-sumption of fla-vonoids, found in berries, teas, apples and red wines, can positively af-fect human health. According to new research on 130,000 men and women undertaken by Harvard University, in Boston, and the UK’s University of East Anglia, men that regularly consumed the most flavonoid-rich foods were 40 per-cent less likely to develop Parkinson’s disease than those that ate the least. No similar protective link was found for women. It is the first human study to show that flavonoids can help protect neurons against diseases of the brain.

Fruits and Veggies Can Help Us Kick ButtsThe first long-term study on the rela-

tionship between fruit and vegetable consumption and smoking cessation offers good news: Eating more healthy produce can help smokers quit the habit and remain tobacco-free longer. Researchers from New York’s University of Buffalo School of Public Health and Health Professions surveyed 1,000 smok-ers ages 25 and over from around the country. In a 14-month follow-up, they were asked if they had abstained from tobacco use during the previous month. Those that consumed the most produce were three times more likely to have been tobacco-free for at least 30 days than those that ate the least amount of produce. Smokers with greater fruit and vegetable consumption also smoked fewer cigarettes per day, waited longer to smoke their first one and scored lower on a common test of nicotine dependence. The findings, published online in the Nico-tine and Tobacco Research journal, remained consistent even when adjusted for age, gender, race, ethnicity, education and household income.

Grilled Food Might Make Us FatThe summer tradition of barbecuing may prompt a need for caution, accord-

ing to researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, in New York City. They have identified a common compound in grilled foods that could play a major role in the development of obesity and diabetes (Proceedings of the

National Academy of Sciences). The team, led by Helen Vlassara, a medical doctor and director of the Division of Experimental Diabetes and Aging, found that mice that were exposed on a sustained basis to

the compound methylglyoxal—a type of advanced glyca-tion end-product (AGE) produced when cooking with dry

heat—developed significant abdominal weight gain, early insulin resistance and Type 2 diabetes. Additionally, AGEs have been found to lower the body’s protective mechanisms that con-trol inflammation.

The researchers recommend that we replace frequent grilling, which uses high dry heat, with methods that rely upon lower temperatures or more moisture, such as stewing, poaching or steaming.

rEsvEratrol can aiD prostatE cancEr trEatMEntIt’s already known that resveratrol, a compound found in grape

skins and red wine, can improve cardiovascular health and help prevent strokes. Now a University of Missouri School of Medicine (Columbia) researcher has discovered that it can make prostate tumor cells more susceptible to radiation treatment, increasing the likelihood of a full recovery from all types of prostate cancer, including aggressive tumors.

Garlic May Help Alleviate Cystic FibrosisThe American Society for Microbiol-

ogy reports that by age 18, about 80 percent of patients with cystic fibrosis are chronically infected with the bacte-rium pseudomonas aeruginosa, which promotes an inflammatory response that destroys lung tissue. The infection frequently leads to serious related health issues. According to collaborative research led by Tim Holm Jakobsen, Ph.D., and Michael Givskov, Ph.D., of the University of Copenhagen, in Den-mark, garlic, which acts as a powerful natural antibiotic, could help. The onion-related herb contains ajoene, the major component of a mul-titude of sulfur-containing compounds, which is produced when garlic is crushed. Ajoene inhibits the expression of 11 key genes controlled by cell-to-cell communication and is regarded as crucial to the ability of the bac-terium to cause disease.

Sugary Drinks Linked to Heart DiseaseOne risk factor for heart disease, the leading cause of death

in the United States, may be sugary drinks. Analysis of data collected on 42,883 men in the “Health Professionals Follow-Up Study,” published in the American Heart Association journal Circulation, linked a daily 12-ounce serving of a sugar-sweetened drink to a 19 percent increase in the relative risk of developing cardiovascular disease. Sugar-sweetened beverages were associ-ated with higher levels of unhealthy triglycerides and C-reactive protein (a byproduct of inflammation), and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein, or HDL, the “good” cholesterol.

Senior study author Frank B. Hu, Ph.D., a physician and professor of nutrition and epidemiology at the Harvard School of Public Health,

in Boston, cautions that diet sodas are not a good alternative. “Some studies have found a relationship between diet soda and metabolic disease,” he notes.

A Father’s Love is CriticalBased on 36 studies from around the world involving more

than 10,000 participants, researchers at the University of Connecticut, in Mansfield, concluded that a father’s love contributes as much—and sometimes more—to a child’s development as a mother’s love. The critical importance

of fatherly love to a youngster’s healthy development provides added incentive for men to become more

involved in nurturing child care.

Don’t Worry, Be HealthyThe adage, “Don’t worry, be hap-

py,” captures the essence of the fi rst-ever metastudy of the relation-ship between happiness and heart health. Based on a comprehensive review involving 200-plus studies, researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health, in Boston, concluded that a positive outlook on life could help protect the heart from cardio-vascular disease. Julia Boehm, Ph.D., and Laura Kubzansky, Ph.D., discovered that certain psychological traits—opti-mism, positive emotions and a sense of meaning—both offer measurable protection against heart attacks and strokes and slow the progres-sion of cardiovascular disease. The pair found that the most optimistic individuals had approximately 50 percent less chance of experiencing an initial cardiovascular event com-pared with their less upbeat peers. “The absence of the negative is not the same thing as the presence of the positive,” notes Boehm. “Psy-chology has been trying to fi x what’s wrong with people, but there’s also an increasing interest in what people might be doing right.”

Coenzyme Q10 Boosts Male Fertility Quotient

One out of every 20 men suffers from male factor infertil-ity, and this percentage is likely to increase in the years

to come. Fertility experts point to sperm abnormality as a primary cause, but a recent study found that supplementation with the nutrient coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) can help enhance overall sperm health.

Fairhaven Health, a well-known online source for fertility, pregnancy and nursing products, uses CoQ10 as a primary ingredient in three of their dietary supplements for improving male reproductive health: FertilAid for Men, Mo-tilityBoost for Men and CountBoost for Men.

According to a new study published in Andrologia, supplementation with CoQ10, a powerful antioxidant, for at least three months may help enhance overall sperm health by protecting against free radical damage to fats, which are are key components of sperm cell membranes.

Fertility experts talk about low sperm count, low sperm motility (the ability of sperm to swim in a forward motion) and abnormal morphology (the size and shape of sperm) in discussions about suboptimal male fertility. Sperm cells are often subjected to oxidative stress, a physiological condi-tion that arises when there is an imbalance in the number of free radicals (unstable oxygen molecules) and the amount of antioxidants present.

Smoking cigarettes, excessive alcohol consumption, obe-sity and chronic exposure to environmental pollutants cause an increase in the production of free radicals. Also, many people’s diets lack suffi cient amounts of antioxidant nutrients that the body uses to battle free radicals.

Lavender Acts as Soothing Aid to Dentistry

Sometimes used as an as an adjunct to dental procedures,

aromatherapists use lavender as a natural remedy for a variety of common ailments ranging from anxiety and headaches to insomnia and mild depres-sion. As a mood-balancing herb that possesses a sedative and calming effect, research has shown that lavender can ease stress, induce relaxation, alleviate anxiety and enhance our sense of well-being. Simply inhaling lavender essential oil releases serotonin in the brain that allows us to experi-ence positive physiological changes in body, mind and spirit.

The brain’s limbic lobe lies deep within the brain and includes portions of all the lobes of the cerebral hemi-spheres. Myriad fi ber tracts connect the limbic lobe with many deep nuclei and the olfactory apparatus to form the limbic system, which is associated with emotion and moti-vation.

Linalool, the active chemical component of lavender, has a sedative effect on moods and autonomic nerve activi-ty, and cortisol (stress hormone) levels signifi cantly decrease after lavender aromatherapy.

Eco-HouseGreen Homes Can be a BargainOne of the most innovative, energy-efficient houses in the United States has been built in the District of Columbia’s working-class Deanwood neighborhood, which has struggled with foreclosures. The Empowerhouse, a residence that produces all of its own energy, consumes 90 percent less energy for heating and cooling than a conventional dwelling. Empowerhouse was designed using “passive house” technologies as part of the Solar Decathlon design competition, held on the National Mall in 2011. It’s the work of students at The New School, in New York City, and Stevens Institute of Technology, in Hoboken, New Jersey, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity and the D.C. Department of Housing and Commu-nity Development. Each duplicable unit costs a locally affordable $250,000. Bringing the community into the design process for both the house and landscape is the basis for collaboration on additional projects in the neighbor-hood, including a new community learning garden. The designers remark that it all plays a part in creating social sustainability, an aspect often left out of development programs.Source: Parsit.Parsons.edu

Home RangeRestoring Native Prairies, Yard by YardFrom Canada south to Texas and from Indi-ana west to Colorado, nearly 600,000 square miles of grassland once contributed to this continent’s complex ecosystem, supporting a diverse and teeming web of life. Today, less than 1 percent remains intact. The good news is that farmers and residents have been making inroads toward restoring this native landscape, converting suburban yards and rural fields to expanses of tall grass and fallow pastures that welcome native species. Government agencies and conservation groups, aided by volunteers, have undertaken numerous resto-ration projects across U.S. and Canadian prairieland, some of them comprising thousands of acres. The initial investment in time and money starts with removal of invasive or even cultivated species and the planting of native grasses. Substantial benefits in-clude low-maintenance ecosystems that require less water and no fertilizer while supporting diverse wildflowers and wildlife. But it’s not as simple as planting a few seeds. In semi-rural and more urban areas, neighbors and zoning laws don’t always see eye-to-eye with these “new pio-neers”, especially in deed-restricted communities. Concern over perceived property value deterioration and a potential influx of vermin sometimes wins the day. Farm-ers have been known to plow under an entire restoration project upon news of rising grain prices due to the ethanol industry, in order to cultivate it for financial gain. It is evident that social and economic policies must support the effort if it is to succeed.

Hot StuffNew Technology Increases Solar EfficiencyThere is huge potential in solar power, but our current methods of capturing the sun’s energy are limited as widely used silicon solar cells approach their theoretical limit of 33.7 percent efficiency. Now a Princeton Univer-sity research team has applied nanotechnology principles to incorporate a design that significantly increases their efficacy. Led by Stephen Chou, the team has made two dramatic improvements: reducing reflectivity and more effectively capturing the light that isn’t reflected. The new solar cell is much thinner and less reflective, capturing many more light waves via a minute mesh and bouncing off only about 4 percent of direct sunlight. The new design is capable of capturing a large amount of sunlight even when it’s cloudy, producing an 81 percent increase in efficiency even under indirect lighting conditions.

Moon FuelTwo New Sources of Sustainable EnergyA new compound of lead tellu-ride—a semiconductor first used in the Apollo moon landings to pro-vide astronauts with a renewable, thermoelectric power source—can transform the heat emitted from car tailpipes and the chimneys of power stations and factories into a power source. According to the scientists engineering the innova-tion at Northwestern University, in Evanston, Illinois, as much as 15 to 20 percent of the heat currently being lost could be recovered as electricity. Another team of researchers at Utah State University, in Logan, has created a yeast biodiesel fuel that can be made using the watery waste from the mass production of cheese. One cheese plant’s daily byproduct of up to 1 million gallons of liquid cheese waste can produce 66,000 gallons of fuel.

ecotipClean RideDIY Versus Commercial CarwashWe all want our new, energy-effi cient vehicles to look their best, and eco-conscious drivers want to extend their green lifestyle to include cleaning their car. Washing can pro-vide some exercise and saves money, but the International Carwash Association reports that automatic car washes use on aver-age fewer than 45 gallons of water per car, compared with 80 or more at home. Commercial facilities also drain wastewater into sewer systems to be treated or reused, while soapy do-it-yourself water can directly enter waterways via storm drains unless it’s in an area that fi lters into a local aquifer.

Here are some helpful tips. Conserve water. For DIY folks, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency recommends using a bucket instead of a hose for washing a sec-

tion at a time, and then quickly rinsing using a pistol-grip hose nozzle, and also washing the car on gravel or a lawn, so wastewater doesn’t fl ow off pavement or sidewalks and down a storm drain. Be sure to use phosphate-free, non-toxic biodegradable soaps and waxes.

Check under the car. Grime, dirt and salt may have accumulated in crevices of the undercarriage, especially in

colder regions, so spray underneath, too. Be observant. A fender-bender, stray pebbles or the impact of another car door may have chipped exterior paint. According to the National Institute for Automotive Service Ex-cellence, corrosion, acid rain, storm damage and harsh sunlight can also mar body paint and expose metal surfaces. Treat these blemishes with a stop-rust spray and touch-up paint before they spread.

Becoming a father is one of the most defining benchmarks in a man’s life.

In their research, University of California-Berkeley Psychology Profes-sors Phil Cowan, Ph.D., and Carolyn Cowan, Ph.D., found that when asked how important each aspect of life felt over a two-year study period, child-

less men surveyed showed a significant increase in the “partner/lover” aspect. But young fathers squeezed that facet into a smaller life space to accommodate the significant increase in the “parent” element. Here are a few highlights from what relevant studies by Oregon State University, in Corvallis, the University

The Fatherhood FactorHow Raising Children

Changes Menby armin Brott

of Nevada-Las Vegas and Switzerland’s University of Zurich say about how fatherhood changes men. Confidence and PrideHaving a close relationship with our child helps build mutual confidence and self-esteem. Turning a child’s tears into laughter and feeling proud when he does well confirms that we’re on our way to being a successful father. Albeit briefly, a child may even share our tastes in culture, entertainment and other areas before mapping his own in-dividuality, but some common attitudes and interests will remain.

Patience and HumorWhen something goes wrong, we can take it seriously and try to change things, or roll with it and laugh. Doing the latter can increase compassion for our own and others’ mistakes.

Flexible ThinkingEarly on, it may be nearly impossible to differentiate the needs of our child and partner from our own. In reality, needs are to varying degrees in opposition, thus imposing frustrations and sorrows and forcing mutual adaptation, accord-ing to the Group for the Advancement of Psychiatry think tank. Parents should consider various points of view and develop contingency plans.

Return to ChildhoodRearing kids presents the opportunity to reread favorite childhood books and disappear back into imaginative worlds.

Reordering PrioritiesRaising kids produces a heightened awareness of others’ perspectives, reports University of Delaware re-searcher Rob Palkovitz, Ph.D. Many guys admit that they were somewhat selfi sh and self-centered before having kids, because having people depend on you and putting their needs before yours doesn’t come naturally. (Palko-vitz notes that marriage alone doesn’t trigger this realization.)

Changing ValuesBecoming a father prompts a hard look at one’s fundamental beliefs and val-ues. Our view of what seemed harm-less when we were younger, like not caring about money or possessions and potentially harmful lifestyle choices, changes completely when there’s a family to support. We see the world differently. Our health and well-being are no longer just personal concerns; they’re integral to our family. Interestingly, more mature new fathers—having had more time to hone their philosophy of life—report less of a need for fresh soul-searching than younger fathers.

Craig Hamilton is a writer, radio host and work-

shop leader devoted to helping people evolve their consciousness for the greater good. The former managing editor of What is Enlighten-ment? magazine, Ham-ilton went on to found Integral Enlightenment, an online education program for those on a contemporary spiri-tual path. Since then, thousands of people have participated in his courses and workshops, and the vast majority have been women. Natural Awakenings asked Hamilton for his insights on this trend.

What’s behind the gender imbalance in personal growth and enlightenment circles?Two years ago, I hosted a summit called The Way of the Evolutionary Man that included a discussion about why more men aren’t drawn to partici-pate in these kinds of things. One of the main points made was that, while many Americans have focused on cre-ating equality for women in the last 50 years, there hasn’t been a comparable men’s liberation movement. I know that some would say, “Why do we need that? Men are already the ones with the most power, freedom and privilege.” Yet it became clear during our discussion that men do not have freedom when it comes to choosing among valued social roles. For example, a woman can feel valued whether she pursues a pro-

Gap in Spiritual Growthby kim Childs

fessional career or something else that we might call a path of the heart, such as follow-ing artistic passions, working for a nonprofit or serving as a teacher. But if men do such things, they risk losing value among women. Traditionally, women have wanted to be with men that are more economically successful than they are. If a man decides

he wants to be an artist or a spiritual practitioner or follow what we might label a higher calling, he’s stepping out of traditionally validated activities for men. So the reason that more men aren’t putting more time into their per-sonal growth could be that they’re not being valued for that.

What might it take to shift this phenomenon?If women want men to join them on paths of personal and spiritual growth, they might need to start in analyzing the part of themselves that says, “I want a man who makes more money than me, is successful and able to be the family provider.” Many women want their men to be conscious, sensitive, reflective and capable of profound inti-macy, plus be a good provider. I’ve heard from some men that feel seriously pained about this. A few said that they always wanted to be, for example, a musician or a teacher, but they couldn’t see themselves being suf-ficiently successful at it, or their family discouraged it.

Is pursuing personal growth at odds with being a breadwinner?I teach a spiritual path that anyone can pursue in the midst of their busy life. It involves turning everything into a spiri-tual practice. It means observing your own motivations and distortions and experiencing a different relationship to life that’s no longer rooted in patterns of the past and the ego. I believe this work appeals to men because, while there is a meditative and interior dimension to it, the bigger part is calling people to step up in life and remove the obstacles inside themselves that keep them from play-ing their biggest game. Spiritual life isn’t about getting beyond this world; it’s about the evolution of our world through conscious participation. That’s something men and women alike can become inspired by and put their energy behind.

How can men be most effec-tive in a changing world?In order to be truly effective, each person needs to do the necessary inner work. It’s not enough to focus on try-ing to do and accomplish and acquire without clarifying what’s getting in the way of your full self-expression and creative engagement. It’s easy to think about life in terms of our history, identity, desires and concerns, but that’s just a small part of who we are. At our deepest level, we are this unfolding evolu-tionary process that’s been going on for more than 13 billion years. Now we have the ability to participate in the greatest adventure of all, that of conscious evolution, growing into a future aligned with our highest ideals, visions and aspirations. While that is mobilizing generations of women, I am finding that it also speaks to the highest aspirations of men. Connect with Craig Hamilton at IntegralEnlightenment.com.

Individuals don’t have to travel to Omega or Kripalu to participate in an upscale yoga event set among

beautiful tranquil surroundings. Yogis and like-minded people will have the opportunity to connect with master in-structors from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., June 29 and 30 at the historic Rutherfurd Hall mansion in Allamuchy, New Jersey, for the third annual North Jersey Transfor-mational Yoga Conference (NJTYC). This year’s conference will fea-ture a wide variety of workshops with classes on techniques of yoga practice, innovative contemporary yoga styles, self-healing, nutrition advice, massage and meditation. Lectures and special events will be held throughout each day including ecstatic dance, live drumming, a singing bowl concert and more. A multitude of vendors will be on site, as well. For those interested in partaking in some evening outdoor activity, the area is great for hiking or kayaking after classes. The weekend is designed to benefi t everyone—from seasoned yogis to beginners jut learning about yoga. The two full days of 18 workshops are taught by some of the fi nest master

yoga instructors in the tri-state area, such as Raji Thron, Nina Priya Ma, Jo Ann Staugaard-Johnes, Gail Maheshwari, Delia Quigley, Denise Kay and others. The weekend will kick off with the fi rst two-hour session beginning at 8:30 a.m. on Saturday, June 29. Participants may choose between three different classes: Yoga for the Brain, Awakening Your Chakras with Asana or the dual topic workshop Yoga for Transforma-tion & Healing – Pranayama & Yoga Nidra. The second session takes place from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. and attendees

again select one of three workshops: Meditation and Hypnosis for Ac-complishing Your Goals, Are You Hip Enough or Inversions and the Art of Spotting. The third session of the day will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. and choices include Neck and Shoulders, Dialogue with Death: The Katha Upa-nishad and The Anatomy of Backbends. To fi nish off the day, all yoga confer-ence participants are invited to join in to celebrate the joy of movement and community with Ecstatic Drums, a group dance to the sound of Chuck Woods’ traditional African and Indian rhythms, from 4:15 to 5 p.m. Participants gets started with the fourth session of the weekend on Sun-day morning at 8:30 a.m. with Feeding Your Yoga Practice with Energy and Nutrition, Inspire and Empower Your Truth or The Psoas Connection: Physi-cally, Emotionally, Spiritually. That is followed by Inner Breath with Vinyasa, Likhet Japa and Sacred Geometry; Writ-ing and Drawing Prayer, Affi rmation and Mantra or Yoga and Neuroscience from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. The sixth session of the weekend offers a choice between Center Yourself with Kundalini Yoga, Healing Gong and Meditation, Yoga Therapy: Heal-ing Mind, Body and Spirit and Fluid Yoga with Live Drum. The afternoon will fi nish off with A Spa for your Soul, a quartz crystal singing bowl concert allowing attendees to feel the vibrations deep inside their body and experience the healing effects of the bowls for themselves. Event founders Delia Quigley and Denise Kay created the NJTYC to bring the yoga community of North Jersey together, foster education and give back to the community. In fact, 10 percent of the profi ts will be donated to the Foodshed Alliance, a grassroots nonprofi t devoted to promoting locally grown food and farming.

Cost: Passes are affordable, with two day, one day and split weekend or half a day starting at $90. Rutherford Hall is located at 1686 Route 517, in Allamuchy. For more information, call 908-902-4082 or visit njtyc.com or Facebook.com/njtyc.

Naturally Motivated

by Beth Davis

Although Joseph Kressley’s interest in health and fitness began as a youngster, he never imagined himself as the

new owner of Green Earth Natural Foods (formerly Queens of Emmaus), in Emmaus. As a small child, he was over-weight and often bullied. A combination of overeating and eating the wrong foods contributed to his obesity, but as he progressed into his teenage years, he began to take control of his diet—even shopping for his own food.

Along the way, other factors in his life caused him to stay on his path toward overall health and wellness. His mother died of complications from diabetes in her 50s and about two years ago, his sister, also in her early 50s, passed away after suffering from heart disease. “Their deaths motivated me to want to live healthier,” he says.

Kressley spent 23 years of his career in a completely dif-ferent industry: swimming pools. He was a district manager for a pool company, but as the economy began to dwindle, so did sales. He knew it was time for a change and began think-ing about his future when fate stepped in. “Green Earth came up for sale,” he explains. “I didn’t set out to buy a health food store, but in fell in my lap and it just felt like a perfect oppor-tunity and a great fit.” In November 2012, he became the new owner.

He says that his wife, Wendy, was a driving force behind his decision. “She’s been my inspiration for the last 16 years,” he says. “She is a vegan and we have found very few places in the area that we can go eat. Although we’re not a restaurant, our thought process was that we could help people like her by providing sandwiches and other vegan options for sale.”

He has two employees, Linda Bossard, who has years of experience, and Chris Deiter, who has been with Green Earth more than a year. Both are highly knowledge and invaluable to Kressley.

“This is a very friendly environment that’s like family,” he notes. “The girls are just outstanding and the three of us make a great team.”

When he purchased the store, Kressley had no plans to change anything, but in the end, he essentially changed every-thing. The core products are the same, but now, the shelves are full. Instead of having a special order list pages long, those

products are kept in stock. His goal is to have a depth and variety of product that sells.

“We try to be unique in our product choices and we’re learning what sells and what doesn’t,” he explains. “For example, we make our own peanut butter on the premises and we sell it for less than the big supermarkets, so it’s a big seller.”

Quality is always key when it comes to choosing any product. He says first and foremost, they listen to custom-ers and what they like. Next, they do their research. “My passion is learning,” says Kressley. “Whether it’s about vitamins, supplements, spices or coffee, it’s just fascinat-ing to me. Manufacturers often have courses you can take and we often take advantage of that. We’re diligent about what we put on the shelves.”

And what’s on the shelves is a little bit of everything, it seems. Bulk spices, seasonings and more (such as oats, flour, healthy snacks, dried nuts and fruit) are packaged at the store so it’s more cost effective for the customer.

High quality coffee and teas are available, many of which are hand-picked for their mission. Profits from the sale of Ajiri Tea, for example, directly benefits the women, children and farmers of western Kenya by providing jobs and educational assistance. “The labels are designed and handcrafted by women in the Kisii region of Kenya using dried bark from banana trees.”

Other items include energy shakes; a gluten-free sec-tion; sustainable and recycled paper products; tableware; a small section featured Oriental foods; canned goods such as sauces and marinades; apple cider vinegar; coco-nut oil; 100 percent fruit juices; and a refrigerated section featuring kombucha, natural soda, sandwiches, local milk and milk products and pre-packaged vegan sandwiches and vegan cheeses, salads and mayonnaise.

Committed to supporting other local businesses, Green Earth also carries granola, salsa and hummus—all from small, local companies. “It’s important to me to make connections to people who live in the community,” states Kressley. “Local businesses need to stick together. I’m proud to be a small business owner and I want to give back and show my support. The more local products I have, the better.”

All natural shampoos, soaps, body lotion, washes, toothpaste and other personal care items also line the shelves. An aromatherapy section showcases essential oils and another section has numerous vitamins, minerals, supplements, herbs and homeopathic remedies.

The ultimate goal is to give customers—both new and old—a great experience. This is done not only by pro-viding superior service, but also by hosting live tastings, demonstrations and being involved in the community.

For Kressley, finding daily inspiration is easy. “I’m just so excited about what I’m doing,” he says. “Plus, I always have my sister to remember. She’s always there motivating me.”

Green Earth Natural Foods is located at 1328 Chestnut St., in Emmaus. For more information, call 610-965-5767.


life liftBeing Happy from the Inside Out

by Judith Fertig

“Happiness is the only true measure of personal success,” advises Geoffrey James, of

Hollis, New Hampshire, author of How to Say It: Business to Business Selling. His work confirms that the rollercoaster world of business does not always promote a sense of well-being. James believes, “The big enemy of happiness is worry, which comes from focusing on events that are outside your con-trol.” For him, something as simple as a good night’s sleep contributes to personal happiness. Each of us has certain things that help make us feel positive, and they of-ten come in small moments, advises Ed Diener, Ph.D., a psychology professor at the University of Illinois and author of Happiness: Unlocking the Mysteries of Psychological Wealth. Based on 25 years of research into the subject, he’s a recognized expert in what he calls “subjective well-being.” In a recent six-part BBC series on happiness, Diener told viewers, “It may sound silly, but we ask people, ‘How

happy are you, on a scale of one to 10?’ The interesting thing is that it produces real answers that are valid—not perfect, but valid—and they predict all sorts of real things in their lives.”

Getting to HappyThe moment-to-moment path to hap-piness follows a trail blazed by para-dox. A recent University of Missouri College of Business study by Marsha Richins, Ph.D., suggests that happi-ness is in the wanting, not the getting. As noted Positive Psychologist Martin Seligman, Ph.D., remarks, “Focusing solely on happiness as a foundation of a good life,” won’t get you there. Gretchen Rubin, the New York City-based author of The Happiness Project and Happier at Home, further finds that, “Happiness doesn’t always make you feel happy.” Trying each day to be emotionally centered, affable, kind, conscientious, generous, patient, principled, accomplished, spiritual and true to yourself—the kind of person that should be happy and that makes other

people happy—can be tough. Widespread economic and associ-ated financial challenges have made many question whether money can buy happiness, a common core assumption of the “happiness starts on the outside” approach. Apparently, money can sometimes buy feelings of well-being, but only to a certain degree, according to researchers Angus Deaton and Dan-iel Kahneman, at Princeton University’s Woodrow Wilson School of Public & International Affairs. In 2010, they surveyed 450,000 ran-domly chosen residents across the coun-try via daily questionnaires. The study revealed that, “Low income exacerbates the emotional pain associated with such misfortunes as divorce, ill health and be-ing alone.” Yet they also discovered that, “High income buys life satisfaction, but not happiness,” and there is no further progress in happiness beyond an annual income of $75,000 (Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences). On the other side of the world, in the tiny Himalayan country of Bhutan, where 70 percent of its 717,000 citizens are subsistence farmers and an annual income of $75,000 would be considered a fortune, people say they are generally happy, partly due to the nation’s “hap-piness starts on the inside” philosophy. Since 1971, Bhutan has been operating based on a gross domestic happiness (GDH) value system. Bhutanese Prime Minister Jigmi Y. Thinley explains that the country has focused on growing both materially and spiritually, and citizen well-being has taken precedence over economic growth. For decades, this was deemed an oddity by many in the West, although now it appears prescient. “It’s easy to mine the land and fish the seas and get rich,” says Thakur Singh Powdyel, Bhutan’s minister of education. “Yet we believe you cannot have a prosper-ous nation in the long run that does not conserve its natural environment or take care of the well-being of its peo-ple, which is being borne out by what is happening to the outside world.” The country measures its success in main-taining GDH by conducting regular surveys of the population. The reigning official definition of happiness involves

peace, contentment and living in har-mony with all creation. Seligman, author of Flourish: A Visionary New Understanding of Happi-ness and Well-Being, has become a be-liever in GDH. “How can you measure well-being in a person, a family, a coun-try or globally?” he queries. Research by Seligman and his colleagues at the Uni-versity of Pennsylvania, in Philadelphia, points to four basic elements: positive emotion, relationships, meaning in life and accomplishment, or PERMA. Seligman says there are proven ways to improve each element. For posi-tive emotion, writing down three “bless-ings”, or things that went well that day, can increase our feelings of gratitude and well-being. For relationships, actively listening and being present for a loved one and having that attention returned can strengthen those bonds. Increasing meaning in our lives, says Seligman, can be a challenge for Westerners. “We have threadbare spiritual and relation-ship furniture. We have too much ‘I’ and not enough ‘we,’” he says. But getting involved in something that increases the “we” factor will help make us happier.

Nurturing Signature StrengthsSelf-surveys at AuthenticHappiness.com can help us identify our strengths and realize what we’re especially good at—and we increase our feelings of accomplishment by doing more of them. “You can even fi gure out how to do the task you like least by using your signature strength,” Seligman advises. He shares an example of a grocery store cashier that disliked bagging groceries, but was exceptional at

social interaction. She made herself happier by chatting with her customers while she packed their selections. Lara Blair, a portrait photographer in Camas, Washington, believes in cel-ebrating strengths. “If making things is what you love, give it the space in your brain, home and life that it deserves.” Blair’s seminars and retreats help people tap ways to increase feelings of creativity, accomplishment and mean-ing. “If you nurture it and believe that growing this beautiful thing is worth the effort, the rewards will be more than you ever dreamed,” she says. When, as a happily married lawyer with children, Rubin thought her life was missing something vital, she used her love for reading and writing to explore that wistful, “What if?” She started researching subjective happiness via Marcus Aurelius, Samuel Johnson, Benjamin Franklin and St. Thérèse de Lisieux, whom Rubin refers to as her “spiritual master.” She decided to test-drive her fi ndings at Happiness-Project.com and began blogging about new ways of thinking and behaving that were bringing her and her readers greater self-realization and contentment. “A great place to start is with your own body,” she counsels. “Are you getting enough sleep? Are you getting

good food to eat? When you take care of those very basic things, you feel en-ergized, and then you can start moving to address other issues.”

Sustaining HappinessOnce we’ve upped our happiness quotient, it can still be diffi cult to stay at that level, says Kennon Sheldon, pro-fessor of psychological sciences at the University of Missouri, in Columbia. In a recent study conducted with research-ers at the University of California-River-side, Sheldon and his colleagues found that by both recognizing that the desire for “more” and “better” in our lives won’t stop and also appreciating what we have, we’ll stay happy. It’s equally vital to continually keep things fresh, with positive new experiences at home, work, play and exercise, as well as in relationships. In other words, sustained happiness takes a little work. “Just before going to bed,” suggests James, “write down at least one won-derful thing that happened that day. It may be anything from making a child laugh to a big sale. Whatever it is, be grateful for the present day, because it will never come again.” The benefi ts of individual well-being radiate to those around us, notes Seligman. “When individuals are fl ourishing, they are more produc-tive at work, physically healthier and at peace.” He believes that as we fi nd ways to increase positive emotion, relationships, meaning in life and indi-vidual accomplishment, it’s possible for life on Earth to fl ourish.

If I become happy and it makes you happy, it is like

tipping the fi rst domino so the next one falls and that happiness spreads.

The ancient Greek playwright Euripides, renowned for his Greek tragedies portraying strong female

characters, was likely a decent dad. He wrote, “To a father growing old, noth-ing is dearer than a daughter.” Entrepreneur and life coach Greg Wright, of Austin, Texas, updates the concept of this precious relationship in Daddy Dates: Four Daughters, One Clue-less Dad, and His Quest to Win Their Hearts. He says that before the age of 30, God gave him a lovely wife; four girls, or “beginner ladies”; and a succinct mission statement: “Don’t mess up.” Possessing an overwhelming compassion and protective instinct for each of his children, Wright decided early on “to teach them the right way to

date and to treasure their specialness as much as I do.” One of his chief assignments was respectfully modeling good dating habits for his daughters, a talent that doesn’t necessarily come naturally to dads. They may understand how sig-nificant a fathering relationship is to her self-worth in becoming a dauntless and independent adult, but may be uncer-tain how to make a proper investment spiritually and emotionally. Healthcare marketing executive David Kinard, of Seattle, Washing-ton, invests heavily in both his son and daughter. Having grown up in a separated family with no fatherly role model, he has focused on spending time with both kids, and knows it’s

Dad & Daughter DatesMaking the Most of Cherished Time Together

especially important for a girl. “I wanted my daughter to know that I loved her for who she was and not for anything she said or did, and that she didn’t need to give her body away to find love.” He felt the best way to convey these truths was to provide dedicated time together. Wednesdays were without fail their date nights, beginning at age 4; dates are less frequent now that his daugh-ter is 16, but even when the relation-ship feels at odds, dates have consis-tently brought them together. “She always got to choose where we went to dinner,” Kinard recalls. “We’d sit for a long time, eat our favor-ite foods and play a silly card game.” They talked about anything, nothing, everything. “She glows when she talks about past dates,” he continues. “I have earned the ability to talk with her about the more sensitive subjects in her life such as boys, sex, friends and family.” Seattle Pacific University Alumni Director Ken Cornell believes that bonding through dating his two girls, ages 14 and 17, is a true privilege. He says the same is true of his wife of 27 years. “It is so important to get away from the routine, to focus on each other,” Cornell remarks. “It’s amazing what is said when we give space for a relationship to deepen.” His younger daughter believes, “It’s confidence building; it makes me stronger to be with someone who believes and has hope in me.” Dressing up on occasion, holding the door open and allowing her to or-der for herself show respect and make her feel treasured.

date with a boy, she will be less likely to schedule a second. Cornell often worries that he doesn’t model enough of the love and honor his girls deserve. He fi nds grace in prayer. “I ask God regularly for wisdom and for-giveness to help me steward my relation-ship with my daughters and wife.” The writer’s own family of six, including two daughters, has a long history of carving out precious time for refreshing fun. It naturally evolved from movies and petting zoos when they were young to canoeing and college campus events as they grew up. “My boyfriends knew that if we were going to last, they had to impress my dad,” remembers our youngest daughter Amy, today a wife and estheti-cian living in Medina, Ohio. “It was important to know that my dad cared enough to engage in my life. When col-lege life was chaotic, it was comforting to have a dad close to my heart. Our dates through the years allowed us to share stories, secrets and sorrows, and to laugh.”

Summer is the high season for out-door gatherings to celebrate warm weather and make the most of

evening’s lingering natural light. When it comes to outdoor entertaining, simple is generally better. Backyard cookouts and picnic takeouts call for tasty fare, light foods and nothing too fancy or fussy. In most parts of the country, sum-mer brings a bounty of just-picked produce, and the fresher it is, the fewer the steps required to make delicious dishes. By keeping just a few staples on hand—cold-pressed olive oil, garlic cloves, fresh herbs and lemons, a good sea salt and freshly ground pepper—the cook will always be prepared to put together a delectable, trouble-free spread. Options run from grilled goodies to marinated and tossed salads that give the hosts time to enjoy their company. Complete the treat by serving skewers of fresh, ripe, cut fruit for dessert—an easy, healthy and welcome alternative to rich and complicated or store-bought sweets. Creating a fun and festive atmo-sphere for backyard gatherings is easy, without a lot of fanfare. String up twinkly

lights and use natural wax votive can-dles placed in empty jam and jelly jars to protect them from the wind. To ward off mosquitoes and generally keep bugs at bay, encircle the patio, deck or park picnic area with citronella candles or in-cense. Fire pits always make an outdoor gathering feel more special. A mesmer-izing center of attention, they also warm up the evening as the temperature drops. To keep serving and cleanup easy, use eco-friendly disposables. Look for plates made from recycled content or bagasse (derived from sugar cane fiber), cutlery sourced from biodegrad-able, plant-based plastic and recycled-paper napkins. Give guests instant ac-cess to a nearby compost bin, garbage can and recycling bin, or designated carry-away bags.

Happy summering!

tasty Ways to savor summer

Grilled Black Bean Quinoa PattyThese flavorful patties are a hearty and complete source of protein, a popu-lar, plant-based option for traditional burgers. Ground flaxseed mixed with water works to bind the ingredients to-gether in place of eggs. When grilling, be careful to flip them gently, so that patties stay together; they’re equally delicious cooked in a skillet on the stove. Serve on a whole-grain pita and load on the toppings. For a gluten-free alternative, use ground tortilla chips instead of breadcrumbs.

Yields 6 to 8 burgers

1 15-oz can black beans, rinsed, drained and spread out to dry for 20 minutes; divide into two equal parts2 Tbsp Vegenaise2 tsp ground cumin1 tsp dried oregano1 tsp garlic powder¼ to ½ tsp crushed red pepper (optional)1 Tbsp ground flaxseed, mixed with 3 Tbsp water½ cup cooked quinoa½ cup breadcrumbs or ground tortilla chips, as needed1/3 cup finely chopped red onion¼ cup chopped cilantroSea salt Freshly ground black pepper

ToppersSalsaAvocado slicesLettuceSliced red onionPickles

1. Drain and rinse black beans in a colander. Shake and let stand for a few minutes for excess liquid to drain. Spread out on a clean, dry towel; blot dry with another clear, dry towel; and let stand to dry for 20 minutes. This can also be done in the oven—spread on a cookie sheet and dry at 300° F for 15 minutes.


2. In a food processor, place half of the beans, Vegenaise, cumin, oregano, garlic powder and crushed red pep-per. Chop in pulses to create a coarse purée. Transfer to a medium bowl.

3. In a small bowl, mix ground flaxseed and water. Let stand 5 minutes to thicken. Mix into the black bean mixture and add remaining beans, quinoa, breadcrumbs or ground tortilla chips, onion and cilan-tro. Mix until combined. If the mixture looks too wet to hold together, add more breadcrumbs or ground tortilla chips. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4. Form into 3- to 4-inch-circumference patties. If time allows, let chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours to firm and for flavors to develop.

5. On a grill preheated to medium-high and brushed with oil, cook patties until crisp and brown, turning once, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Or heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook until browned, turning once, 5 to 6 minutes on each side.

Grilled Portobello Mushrooms with Quinoa, Tomatoes and HerbsGrilling mushrooms brings out their savory flavor. Stuffed with protein-rich quinoa, this dish is satisfying enough to be served as an entrée.

4. In a skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat olive oil over medium heat, and sauté garlic and scallions with a pinch of salt and pepper just until fragrant, for about 1 minute. Add quinoa, water and bul-lion cube. Turn up heat, cover and bring to a boil. Stir once and reduce heat to low to simmer for 20 minutes or until all the liquid has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let stand for 10 minutes.

5. Fluff quinoa with a fork. Fold in to-matoes and herbs. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

6. Place mushrooms cap-side down on a serving platter. Fill the cavity of the

mushrooms with the quinoa mixture. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Watermelon Mediterranean Salad with Tomatoes, Cucumbers, Avocado and OlivesThis dish embodies the zenith of sum-mer, when watermelon and tomatoes are at their height. Paired with refresh-ing cucumber, buttery avocado, savory olives and bright herbs, this pastiche of

flavor and texture is a perfect accompa-niment to any backyard or picnic party.

Yields 4 to 6 servings

3 medium heirloom tomatoes, cored and cut into ¾-inch pieces1 cup watermelon, cut into ¾-inch cubes1 cucumber, peeled, seeded and cut into ¾-inch cubes1 avocado, cut in half, pitted and cut into ¾-inch cubes½ cup pitted green olives, chopped (Castelvetrano olives recommended)1 Tbsp chopped basil1 Tbsp chopped mint2 Tbsp olive oil2 Tbsp white balsamic vinegar or champagne vinegarSea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

1. In a bowl, place tomatoes, watermel-on, cucumber, avocado, olives, basil and mint. Toss gently.

2. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar and a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour over tomato-watermelon mixture and toss gently to mix. Season to taste with more salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

2. Fill a large bowl with cold water.

3. Keeping the husks attached at the base, peel back the husks of each cob and remove the silk. Cover the cobs again with the husk.

4. Soak the corncobs in cold water for 5 to 10 minutes to prevent husks from charring too quickly.

5. In a food processor, place basil, garlic, pine nuts, lemon juice, salt and pepper and chop in pulses for maxi-mum mixing. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in olive oil. Set aside.

6. Place corn, covered in its husk on the grill. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove from the grill, let it cool enough to touch and then remove husks. Return to grill and cook, turning to lightly char all sides, for an addition-al 5 to 7 minutes total.

7. Remove from grill and generously brush with pesto. Sprinkle with sea salt and pepper if desired and serve hot.

COLORING OUR WORLD

How Hues Can Help and Healby Judith Fertig

While humans have long ap-preciated nature’s chromatic displays, it wasn’t until 1666

that Sir Isaac Newton proved that white light from the sun refracted through a prism separates into the individual bandwidths we perceive as hues. A growing body of research by physi-cians, environmentalists, psychologists and alternative medicine specialists is now exploring how color—as light and pigment—can affect people physically, mentally and emotionally. According to Pakistani research physicists Samina T. Yousuf Azeemi and S. Mohsin Raza, working from

the University of Balochistan, “Colors generate electrical impulses and mag-netic currents or fi elds of energy that are prime activators of the biochemical and hormonal processes in the human body.” Different colors cause different reactions, from stimulating cells to sup-pressing the production of melatonin. Published in the journal Evidence-Based Complementary Alternative Med-icine, Azeemi and Raza’s photobiology research, applied as chromotherapy, supports premises of ancient Chinese, Egyptian and ayurvedic healing tradi-tions in which color is intrinsic to heal-ing: for example, red increases circula-

tion; yellow stimulates nerves; orange increases energy; and blue and green soothe everything from skin irritations to anxiety. Blue light can reset our biological clocks. Although electric light attempts to mimic natural sunlight, the body does not sense it that way, according to fi nd-ings published in Environmental Health Perspectives. During the day, artifi cial light with more blue wavelengths may help improve the performance of stu-dents and employees working indoors; at night, a reduction of the blue portion in artifi cial lighting provided for shift workers could protect against sleep disturbances. The irony, notes Science Writer David C. Holzman, of Lexington, Massachusetts, is that applications of blue light are now used to cure some of the very things it can cause—sleepless-ness and depression. Sonya Nutter, a Kansas City moth-er of three elementary schoolchildren, can attest to the soothing effect of blue light when soaking in her Kohler chro-motherapy tub in the dark: “It’s even better than lavender scent for calming,” she says. “Color clearly has aesthetic value, but it can also carry specifi c meaning and information,” says Andrew J. Elliot, Ph.D., professor of psychology at the University of Rochester, in New York. He and a team of research-ers concluded that, “Seeing red is not

shrinks tumors. Based on the success of NASA experiments and research at the University of Alabama at Birmingham Hospital, red LED lights are also helping cancer patients deal with sore mouths associated

with chemotherapy and radiation used for bone marrow and stem cell transplants. Treating diabetic ulcers is another application, according to a 2012 study in the Journal of Endocrinology, Metabolism, and Diabetes of South Africa. Red light sessions at many medical spas help rejuvenate aging skin by stimulating collagen production. Color as pigment can convey subtle cues to influence

our perceptions, attitudes and behavior. In a study con-ducted at England’s Oxford University and Spain’s Polytechnic University of Valencia, for example, participants believed that hot chocolate tasted better in orange mugs than any other color, with white scoring lowest. “Color associations are so strong and embedded so deeply that people are predisposed to certain reac-tions” when they see a color, explains Elliot, a learned associa-tion that is often culturally based. Because color can engender individual emotional re-sponse, it plays a major role in one’s preferences in sur-roundings, including wall colors, furnishings and appliances. Pantone, a leading provider of color systems to businesses worldwide, annually recommends a specific color that it feels best connects with the current zeitgeist, or prevailing spirit and mood, so that manufacturers of paints, kitchenware and fabric will produce the look people will want to have around them. In 2011 Pantone picked a vibrant pink. Leatrice Eiseman, executive director of the Pantone Color Institute, explained that “In times of stress, we need something to lift our spirits, a captivating, stimulating color that gets the adrenaline going.” Now sensing greater optimism, their 2013 color choice is a vivid emerald, described as “lively, radiant and lush… a color of elegance and beauty that enhances our sense of well-being, balance and harmony.”

Americans are succumbing to type 2 diabetes at an alarming rate. Current-

ly, 1 in 4 people are diabetic or predia-betic. To make matters worse, the United Health Center for Health Reform estimates that by 2020, 50 percent of adults in this country could be type 2 diabetics. Though these statics are shocking, the most amazing—and positive—statistic of all is that nearly 100 percent of type 2 diabetes can be prevented or reversed by empow-ering people with the information to make specific lifestyle changes.

What is Diabetes?Many believe the answer to that question is an easy one. After all, everyone knows that diabetes means you have high blood sugar. Therefore, the typical treatment ap-proach is to prescribe medications (insu-lin, for example) to lower the blood sugar. Insulin is a hormone naturally found in the body that helps sugar get inside the body’s cells (rather than remaining in the blood and reeking havoc as is the case in diabetes) so that it can be properly used for energy.

Based on that logic, we would as-sume that people with diabetes must not make enough insulin, but this is not the case until the very late stages of the disease. In type 2 diabetes, the body is producing much more insulin than is typi-cally needed, as the cells have lost their ability to see the insulin. The problem is that the increased insulin promotes more fat storage and makes the cells even less likely to see the insulin over time, creat-ing a vicious cycle. As blood sugars go unregulated, individuals are more at risk for complications of diabetes, including hypertension, heart disease, decreased circulation, infections, stroke, cancers and more.

So, consider this: perhaps a better definition of diabetes is that it is a disease of mismatched insulin and leptin signal-ing. Leptin is a protein hormone that plays a key role in regulating energy intake and energy expenditure. Therefore, we should actually be addressing this mismatch and fixing the underlying issue rather than try-ing to treat the symptom.

Preventing or Reversing Type 2 Diabetes

reverse or Prevent type 2 DiabetesIf only we had the information to prevent disease before it starts rather than being told, “Your blood sugar is high. Here is a prescription for the medication to help.” The good news is that the information is out there, and no matter what stage of type 2 diabetes, prediabetes or prevention one is in, there are powerful things that we can do to take control of our health.

Resetting our insulin and leptin signaling doesn’t come in the form of a medication, but rather in the form of a life-style. The following list of actions will assist this process and jumpstart the quest to remain diabetes free or begin to gain better control of blood sugar. It is important for individuals to work with a healthcare professional if they are considering changes in diet, activity level or medications.

Exercise. This is a must and is one of the best ways to •help cells respond to insulin once again. Interval training offers the greatest benefit.Limit grains and sugars, fructose in particular. Fructose •breaks down differently than glucose in the body, pro-moting weight gain and insulin resistance.Know your fasting insulin level. This blood test measures •a cell’s ability to respond to insulin and is an early indi-cator of diabetes development.Got vitamin D? Everyone should optimize their level by •getting a blood test and then supplementing, if neces-sary.

Restore gut health. Something as simple as the right pro-•biotic can help to restore digestive health, which aids insulin signaling.Consider targeted support. A variety of natural supple-•ments, both herbal and nutritional, can help reset insu-lin sensitivity. In addition, chelation is a proven method to help reverse advanced diabetic complications, such as decreased circulation and poor wound healing.

Remember, the body is incredibly resilient. Simple, targeted changes can dramatically impact our health in this moment and add to both the quality and longevity of life.

It is not uncommon for individuals to wonder if they may be suffering from anxiety or depression. They are often surprised, however, to learn that they could be suffering

from both. While depression and anxiety might seem like op-posites, they do, in fact, affect many people at the same time. Depression can drain us of energy and anxiety can make us keyed up and afraid. Depression makes it next to impossible

to get out of bed and anxiety leaves us sleepless and pacing. But, the truth is not so simple. Depression and anxiety often go together.

Mental health experts estimate that more than half the people diagnosed with depression also have anxiety. Unfor-tunately, the combination of depression and anxiety can be particularly severe and many people don’t receive the correct diagnosis. The good news is that doctors have good treat-ments for tackling both conditions and at the top of the list is a new cutting-edge treatment called transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) therapy.

Either condition can be disabling on its own, but together, depression and anxiety can be especially hard to live with, hard to diagnose and hard to treat. People diagnosed with both tend to have more severe symptoms, more functional impairment, more trouble fi nding the right treatment and a higher risk of suicide.

the symptomsSymptoms of depression can include: feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, loss of interest in daily activities, appetite or weight changes, sleep changes, anger or irritability, loss of energy, self-loathing, reckless behavior, concentration prob-lems and unexplained aches and pains.

Symptoms of anxiety can include: feelings of panic, fear and uneasiness, restlessness, sleep disturbance, poor concen-tration, irritability, muscle tension, palpitations, shortness of breath, obsessive behaviors, nausea, dry mouth and dizziness.

How tms therapy Can HelpTMS therapy is an FDA-cleared, non-invasive medical treat-ment for patients with depression who have not benefi ted from initial antidepressant medication. The therapy uses highly focused magnetic pulses to stimulate the areas of the brain thought to control mood. This specifi c area of the brain, called the left prefrontal cortex, has been identifi ed as under active in people who suffer from depression. TMS therapy causes neurons to become active, leading to the release of neurotransmitters and relieving the symptoms of depression.

Each treatment involves gentle placement of a magnetic coil, similar in type and strength to those produced by a mag-netic resonance imaging (MRI) machine, against the left side of the patient’s head. Treatment takes less than an hour and is conducted in a doctor’s offi ce, fi ve days a week, for approxi-mately four to six weeks. TMS is free of side effects typically experienced with antidepressant medications. Patients are awake and alert during treatment and are able to resume nor-mal activities upon leaving the treatment session.

Patients suffering from depression that also have anxiety components can receive a large reduction in anxiety levels, simply as a result of the treatment protocol used in the treat-ment of depression. However, in some cases, therapeutic benefi t is not fully achieved from the depression treatment protocol alone. Supplementary right-sided treatment for anxi-ety can be provided.

A growing number of professional athletes and weekend warriors are spelling relief h-o-m-e-o-p-

a-t-h-y. Founded on a reputation for helping people suffering from chronic diseases, natural homeopathic medi-cines also are becoming recognized for their effectiveness in treating common sports injuries. Using them is considered easier than conventional drugs in address-ing acute injuries, because applying homeopathic solutions doesn’t require a high degree of individualized rem-edies. When two people have sprained

ankles, for instance, they can each be helped along in their healing by a similar homeopathic remedy, but two people suffering from arthritis will generally require different remedies that are individualized according to each person’s pattern of symptoms. Note that homeopaths recommend that homeopathic medicine be taken in conjunction with, not as a replacement for, conventional fi rst-aid measures.

as single remedies or as formulas of two or more remedies mixed together. Single remedies are recommended for injuries when all symptoms point to one homeopathic medicine and it is better to use a stronger dose or higher potency not available in mixed formulas. The use of several remedies in a formula provides a broad-spectrum effect not available in a single remedy. Because injuries sometimes involve muscle, nerve and bone tissues, it some-times makes sense to use formulas to help heal the various tissues involved.

Frequency of UseWhen taking homeopathic medicines, experts generally recommend taking as few doses as possible, but as many as required to reduce symptoms. At fi rst, in the face of a great amount of pain and discomfort, this may necessitate tak-ing the appropriate remedy every hour. Usually, after four doses the frequency can be cut to every other hour; as the in-tensity of pain diminishes, dosing every four hours is common. If no improve-ment is noticeable after one or two days, it is generally recommended that the patient stop taking any further doses.


indicated Homeopathic treatmentsThree key medicines for sports injuries are Arnica for shock and trauma to soft tissue and muscle; Hypericum for shooting pains and trauma to nerves or parts of the body rich with nerves, such as the fingers, toes and back; and Calendula for cuts or open wounds to promote healthy new skin formation. The informa-tion here indicates external use for common injuries.

SPRAINS AND STRAINSn Arnica immediately after injury, especially if there is swelling and soreness.n Rhus tox for sprains with annoying stiffness.n Bryonia for sprains with excruciating pain whenever the joint is moved.n Ledum for easily sprained ankles that feel better when ice is applied.n Calcarea carbonica for chronic ankle sprains and repetitive stress injury.n Ruta for tendon injury (especially helpful for tennis elbow or carpal tunnel syndrome).

DISLOCATION n Arnica immediately after injury, also later if there is soreness.n Hypericum for sharp shooting pains that accompany a dislocation.

FRACTUREn Arnica immediately after injury, especially if there is bruising.n Bryonia for fractures with severe pain made worse by motion.n Ruta for injuries to periosteum (bone-covering membrane), common with trauma to the shin, skull, elbow or kneecap.n Symphytum to promote bone growth (only to be given after a fracture has been set).n Calcarea phosphoric to speed the progress of slow-healing fractures.

HEAD INJURYn Arnica immediately after injury, especially if there is bruising and/or large swelling that is sensitive to touch.n Natrum sulphuricum for a head injury followed by irritability or depression; always seek professional treatment for a head injury.

WOUNDSn Calendula to help prevent infection in scrapes and open wounds; for any open wound and for blisters; do not use arnica, but instead apply calendula topi-cally.n Hypericum to speed healing and lessen shooting pain in wounds to the tongue, fingertips and toes.n Ledum to repair injury from puncture wounds.

Note: Most health food stores carry homeopathic medicines in the 30C potency, considered a mid-range strength that is safe to use when self-prescribing for the sports injuries described here. For severe injuries and emergency care, contact a certified professional homeopath who can prescribe remedies in higher, more ap-propriate potencies.

With most exercise programs, while his person works out, a dog stays home alone, count-

ing squirrels outside the window and wishing Animal Planet wasn’t a rerun. How about bringing some of that exer-cise home so the pet gets fit, too? John E. Mayer, Ph.D., a Chicago clinical psychologist and author of Fam-ily Fit, maintains that, “Fitness works best as a group event, including the family dog.

ming, touch football, jumping rope, rollerblading, tag or hide-and-seek.” Diane Tegethoff Meadows and Susan Riches, Ph.D., each accepted a challenge to exercise with their dogs 30 minutes a day for 30 days. “I walk my three Scotties every morning anyway, so adding minutes was easy,” says Meadows, a retired senior paralegal in Bulverde, Texas. “One of them is in charge of choosing the route, and we seldom go the same way two days in a row.” Riches, a retired Fort Lewis

College professor and archaeologist, in Durango, Colorado, doesn’t let inclement weather interfere. “Inside, we play fetch up and down the stairs,” she says. “I hide treats for tracking games of ‘find it.’” The dogs also like to jump through hoops. “The Scottie and Westie go at it for 30 minutes; the Maltese stops after 15.” Jeff Lutton, a Dogtopia dog daycare/boarding franchisee in Alexandria, Vir-ginia, conducts a popular running club. “On Sunday mornings we have about 15 people that run with their dogs. My golden retriever used to run six miles, but since she’s 9 now, we’ve cut back to three.” “Treibball [TRY-ball] is herding without sheep, soccer without feet,” ex-plains Dianna L. Stearns, president of the American Treibball Association, based in Northglenn, Colorado. “All you need is Pilates balls, a target stick for point-ing, a signal clicker and treats. It’s a fun, problem-solving game for all involved.” The idea is for the dog to direct rub-ber balls into a goal with its nose, shoul-der and/or paws—eventually, as many as eight balls in 10 minutes. Treibball can be played in group classes or competitions or at home using a kiddie soccer goal. Another exercise option is to turn the backyard into an obstacle course for the dog, kids and adults. Use a clicker to signal the next move. Four or five hula hoops spaced a bit apart provide a pat-tern for a sit/stay game as the dog moves into each one on command. A thin wooden dowel across two boxes and anchored to a stick-on photo hook on either end provides a hurdle. A child’s oversized plastic golf club hits a tennis or plastic ball just far enough for the dog to retrieve.


For a doggie triathlon, add more ele-ments, such as yard races between dogs and children on their tricycles or scoot-ers down a straight path, with everyone cooling off in a hard-plastic swimming pool as part of the event. For dogs that are older or have mobility

issues, some stretching before or even after exercise is suggested. “Doga [dog yoga] has become a daily ritual with my 11-year-old golden retriever since the onset of arthritis in her hips and back. Besides keeping her joints limber, it’s good one-on-one time for us,” says latchkey dog expert Eileen Proctor, in Castle Rock, Colorado. “Whenever she wants to stretch, she will come up and gently paw me,” relates Proctor. “Her favorite is the upward dog pose. Before practicing doga, this dear one had trouble getting to her feet, and then was lame for a minute. Now she is able to get up and move about immediately.” When exercising with pets, always keep plenty of water handy, start slow and watch out for how the weather or workout affects the participants. Scientists have changed from saying it takes 21 days to form a new habit to admitting it may take up to three times that long. That might be true for people, but try explaining it to the dog standing at the back door on day two—he’s ready to do it again.

Dog Running Tipsby Jeff lutton

Start slow Run warm-up laps Take breaks Always carry water

Keep nails trimmed

nAvoid running on hot pavement with long-haired or thick-coated dogs.

nShorten mileage for pups under 2 years, as well as older dogs.

nAvoid concrete surfaces, which are rough on paw pads.

nStay away from winter road salt; it can cut and further damage paws.

nWatch for hip or knee problems;if a dog lags behind, it’s time to stop.

Jeff Lutton, of Dogtopia, conducts a running club for people and their pets in Alexandria, VA.
