Questions to Ask Yourself:Do you tire more easily?Has the fire gone out of your sex life?Is it difficult to get and stay in shape?Are you eating the same and putting

on weight?Are you having problems with memory?Have you lost some of your mental

sharpness?Has your reaction time slowed?Problems with sleep, stress, anxiety?Are you suffering from hot flashes/night

sweats?

Our practice of INDIVIDUALIZED MEDICINE optimizes your health and well being and prevents disease through:

• Bio-identical Hormone Replacement Programs• Comprehensive Nutrition and Supplement Evaluation Programs for

Weight Loss and Well Being• Metabolic Testing for Food and Environmental Sensitivities and

Allergies / Detoxification Programs• Preventative Cardiac Disease Program• Appropriate Effective and Sustainable Fitness Programs

Medical Doctor - Specialist in Age Management & Bio-Identical HormonesWe specialize in age management medicine, which includes preventative medical treatments focused on maintaining and regaining optimal health, vitality and vigor. By improving your metabolic function and optimizing hormones like testosterone, HGH, progesterone, estrogen, DHEA and others, can give you a better opportunity for a healthy and vigorous life.

Bio-Identical hormone optimization can have a significant and positive impact on your health. Bio-identical hormones are NEVER to be equated to synthetic ones, traditionally prescribed by physi-cians! The differences between the two are significant! Bio-identical hormones are made from living plants that are identical to the ones produced by our bodies, so they fit perfectly like a “lock and key”. On the other hand, synthetic ones come from various other sources including but are not limited to an impregnated mare’s urine (female horse) for use in synthetic estrogen, thus producing often unpleasant and possibly harmful side effects.

We have the knowledge and expertise to maximize your potential for improvement.Traditional medical practices follow a “fix it when it breaks” or “diagnose and treat” approach. Our focus is on prevention, fostering a more dynamic life throughout middle age and beyond.

Diminishing libido, waning energy, decreasing lean muscle, increasing muscle fat, along with other problems that affect our sexual, physical and mental health, can be linked to sub-optimal hormone levels. Both men and women rely on a critical balance of hormones, and low levels contribute to a steady decline in our performance and our appearance.

If you are feeling “burnt out,” starting to experience “quality of life issues” or are just going through the often talked about “mid-life crisis,” call us and ask about our comprehensive medical evaluation that may show you have a hormone deficiency.

5natural awakenings March 2011

It’s still February as I write this, but a sunny, warm day. Despite the fact that my Christmas tree is still buried

under a four-foot snow bank, I feel for the first time in months that spring is a possibility. I can tell that others do, too. Last week at Slow Food’s Local Harvest event in Morristown, visitors were dressed in parkas and snow boots, but the sight of farm-fresh food lit up their eyes. Talk was about farmers markets, gardens, and getting back outside. The number of people in attendance, all jostling for fresh eggs and cheese, made me believe

there really is a food revolution going on. If you feel left out, our feature article will help you understand the choices and philosophies of “America’s Growing Food Revolution,” including the organic and locavore movements. March offers many opportunities to shake off the winter doldrums and get ready for spring. The Third Annual Balance Your Life™ Wellness Gala™ will be held in Morristown on March 12. Having been to previous Galas, I know it’s a great place to meet practitioners, experience new wellness therapies, and get tips for enhancing your own health and wellbeing. This month’s issue will also help you on your way toward spring rejuvenation. We cover detox from three angles: exercise, diet, and consciousness. Start one or all three programs now, and April will find a healthier, more energetic, and more balanced you. If you have children, you’ll know that it’s time to start making plans for the summer. As a camp director’s wife, and the mother of two children who practically grew up at camp, I know what good it can do. Whether your children go for a week, or an entire summer, the experience can offer them independence, improved social skills, and a new perspective on nature. Our feature on Eco-Camps explores a new twist: eco-friendly camps. Is winter still getting you down? Enter our Wild Dolphin Encounter contest. Natural Awakenings is offering one winner a six-night getaway in the Bahamas where you can connect and play with wild dolphins swimming free in their natural environment. When you’re not frolicking with the animals, you’ll find plenty of other activities, healthy food, and sunshine.

Studio Montclair Features Green Exhibits

Studio Montclair Inc., a nonprofit association of professional visual

artists, features two green exhibits in its Virginia S. Block Gallery on the second floor of the Academy Square building, 33 Plymouth Street, Mont-clair, through April 29. “Rendering Green” features artists transforming the ordinary by salvaging, altering and repurposing materials, thus creating their own artistic medium while commenting on our delicate interconnection with nature and responsibility to treat the environment gently. The second exhibit, “Sustainability and the Artistic Vision,” connects current artists to contemporary environmental activ-ism. According to curator Mona Brody, the show’s six artists demonstrate “how theoretical insights, concrete practices in art, and the use of sustainable materials coincide with hard realities and materiality for political action, artistic theory and practice, and sustainable living in the 21st century.” The gallery is open to the public from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday, or by appointment. For more information, visit StudioMontclair.org or call 973-744-1818.

Win a Wild Dolphin Encounter

Natural Awakenings has teamed up with WildQuest to of-fer readers a chance to win a Wild Dolphin Encounter

Caribbean adventure getaway in the Bahamas. The six-night trip includes a one-night stay in Ft. Lauderdale before flying to Bimini, where the lucky winner will enjoy five days of daily excursions on a comfortable catamaran to connect and play with wild dolphins swimming free in their natural environment. The combination of yoga, healthy food, supportive surroundings and dolphin encounters creates a transformative opportunity to relax, expand and reconnect with nature. Since 1995, WildQuest has been providing programs for swimming with wild and free dolphins in the warm Caribbean Sea; for many individuals, the experience is life-changing. Natural Awakenings reader Bukki Sitler reports on Facebook: “I won a trip last summer, and it was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. The crew is respectful and helpful . . . they never feed or otherwise try to attract the dolphins, and are very respectful of the fact that the humans are guests in the dolphins’ home.” To enter the sweepstakes, visit NaturalAwakeningsMag.com/contests.

newsbriefsThe Mind Body Spirit Expo Makes Its Debut in the Garden State

A renowned exposition featuring some of the leading prac-titioners in the fields of holistic health, spirituality, natural

foods and fitness has changed its venue and season. The Mind Body Spirit Expo, usually held in autumn in Pennsylvania, moves to the New Jersey Convention and Exposition Center in Edison this spring, April 8–10. MBS Expo director Anne Khoury felt it was time to expand to a new location and reach new people at the time of year when rebirth and new beginnings unfold. “We have had great success at our Pennsylvania location and have made many wonderful friends, so I felt it was a good time to expand our reach with the same amount of dedication, variety and special guest speakers that have made our expo the largest and the best known of its kind in the northeastern United States.” As Ms. Khoury attests, this expo provides the most dynamic schedule of guest speakers that the expo has ever presented. Deepak Chopra, bestselling author, founder of the Chopra Foundation, adjunct professor at Kellogg School of Management and senior scientist with the Gallup Organization, will speak on “Healing, Transformation, and Higher Consciousness.” His lecture will be preceded by a reception in which attendees, over hors d’oeuvres and wine, have the chance to meet and talk to the man hailed by Time magazine as the “poet-prophet of alternative medicine.” Doreen Virtue, the world’s premiere angel therapy expert, will present “Connecting with the Angels of Health, Happiness, and High Energy.” Those attending this event are sure to be delighted and inspired by Doreen’s lecture, which includes a special reception before and a concert following, with Doreen’s group, Obsidian. Lisa Williams is one of the most engaging of mediums, sell-ing out halls and theaters throughout the world. Lisa’s events are at once lively, fun and moving, and her appearance on Saturday promises to combine her unique gifts and talents in connecting with her audiences. Kevin Trudeau has been an advocate for natural health for many years, and his Sunday talk is sure to be fascinating, informative and, yes, provocative. Braco, the European gazing phenomenon, made an impres-sive first East Coast appearance at the Mind Body Spirit Expo last fall, with long lines forming for his sessions and many repeat tickets bought. With gazing, Braco is able to become a conduit of healing energy to those assembled before him, with no words spoken. Hundreds of thousands have seen him in Europe, and now his gifts are being made available in select appearances in this country. Popular healer/teacher Deborah King will offer ways for participants to activate their shaman and healing powers, while


Carol Bowman, the premier past-regressionist in the United States, heralded by James Van Praagh, conducts one of her popular workshops. Master Seok Seo Park, a chi energy healer who has helped thousands in his native Korea and in New York and Philadelphia, will give two free talks at the Expo. In addi-tion to these renowned speakers, the Expo offers a wide range of natural products, massage and bodywork sessions, psychic readings, music, arts and crafts, and more. Several “recession busters” are available. Seniors and students with ID receive free admission on Friday, and $2 off General Admission on Saturday and Sunday. An “early-bird” discount offers $2 off General Admission on Friday if you show up from 3 to 4 p.m., and $5 off General Admission on Saturday or Sunday from 9 to 10 a.m. There are also $2 discount coupons available through ads, fliers and Natural Awakenings magazine. Discounts cannot be combined with other discount offers.

Sweet MedicineBefore digging into that next stack of

French toast or waffles, pour on some real, pure maple syrup. New research attests to its surprising medicinal value. Scientists at The University of Rhode

Island have identified more than 20 compounds in Canadian maple syrup that can be linked to human

health—eight of which have been found in the maple family for the first time. It turns out that the syrup contains not only many naturally occurring vita-mins and minerals such as zinc, thiamine and calcium, but also substances reported to have anti-bacterial, anti-cancer and anti-diabetic properties. Maple syrup is made from the sap located just inside the bark of the sugar maple tree, which is constantly exposed to the sun. Scientists speculate that when the sugar maple is tapped to extract the sap, it secretes phenolics—a benefi-cial class of antioxidants also found in berries—as a defense mechanism; these wind up in the sap and ultimately concen-trate in the syrup, giving this sugary treat its stamp of health.

Black rice – Exotic and healthyBlack

rice—long a staple food for one-third of the world’s popula-tion—is gaining popularity in the United States because of its exotic look and nutty flavor. Now, research chemists with the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Agricultural Research Service report that the black variety of this grain may help soothe the inflammation involved in allergies, asthma and other diseases. These health benefits are attributed to its outer bran layer which, unlike with white rice, is not polished off during processing. Collaborating researchers tested the effects of black rice bran extract on skin inflammation in laboratory mice and found that it reduced the inflammation by 32 percent com-pared to control animals; the rice bran also decreased production of certain substances known to promote inflam-mation in the body. Brown rice bran extract did not have these effects. When the scientists fed the mice a diet containing 10 percent black rice bran, swelling associated with allergic contact dermatitis, a common type of skin irritation, decreased. These results show a potential value of black rice bran as an anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic food ingredient. It may also hold promise as a therapeutic agent for the treat-ment and prevention of diseases as-sociated with chronic inflammation.

Whole Foods Market:“Health Starts Here”

The sheer number of choices in a supermarket can be overwhelming, and consumers are often hard-pressed to resist quick and easy convenience foods and fro-

zen meals. Add to the mix the fact that many Americans are unclear about exactly what they should be eating—and how much—for proper nutrition, and you really have a recipe for disaster. That’s why Whole Foods Market rolled out its Health Starts Here program. With 11 locations scattered throughout the Garden State, the natural and organic chain has always been committed to high-quality standards and sustainable agriculture, but now the company has taken on its biggest mission yet: helping customers achieve lifelong health. “The company started 30 years ago when people did a lot of cooking, and we want to help our customers go back to basics,” explains Mark Wilkins, associate coordinator for Health Starts Here. “The acronym for ‘standard American diet’ spells ‘sad,’ and the state of health in this country is just that,” adds Kristine Nicholson, healthy-eating specialist at the Millburn-Union location. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Healthy People 2010 data, only about 38 percent of Americans eat enough fruit, and just six per-cent of men and four percent of women consume an ad-equate amount of vegetables. “Someone has to do something,” Nicholson says, “and if not Whole Foods Market, then who?” Countless studies prove that a diet rich in vegetables, beans, fruits, whole grains, nuts and seeds promotes good health and reduces the risk of chronic disease. Health Starts Here makes the research digestible with a program revolv-

ing around just four key pillars of healthy eating: choosing whole, natural, and organic foods; maintaining a plant-based diet including legumes, nuts, and seeds; consuming healthy fats from plant sources like nuts and avocados; and opting for nutrient-dense foods that are low in calories but high in micronutrients such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. “We’re not telling people to eat salad all day; we’re just asking that they consume more plant-based foods, and smaller portions of everything else,” Nicholson says. To help consumers get even more bang for their nutrition buck, the company partnered with Eat Right America to label many foods sold in the market according to an Aggregate Nu-trient Density Index (ANDI) score, which indicates the food’s nutrient density on a scale of 1 to 1000; dark leafy greens like kale earn the highest score, while soda scores a one. Backed by a medical advisory board, the retailer also offers a variety of free cooking classes along with healthy-eating supper clubs for a modest fee. Currently, four New Jersey locations are home to healthy-eating specialists who are on hand to answer questions and help customers identify the best items to toss into their shopping carts. “We teach people how to shop for good health. Health Starts Here is truly a lifestyle,” says Tyrone J. Walcott, healthy-eating specialist at the West Orange and Montclair locations. Customers also have access to hundreds of online reci-pes, and they can stop by the market’s Healthy Eating Kiosk for in-store information sessions, book-club meetings, store tours, customized healthy-eating programs, and individual consultations at no additional charge. “We’re hoping to help demystify healthy eating,” Wilkins says. “The best part about the program is turning people on to some really great food . . . and inspiring them to get back into the kitchen.”

We’ve heard the buzz. Amer-ica is in the midst of a food revolution. Sales of natural and

organic foods are up by double digits. The once-obscure Locavore (eat local) move-ment has become a national phenom-enon. Community supported agriculture (CSA) initiatives and farmers’ markets are proliferating. Even the federal government and some of the country’s largest grocery retailers have jumped on board, with First Lady Michelle Obama helping to plant the first garden on White House grounds

since World War II, and Walmart vowing in January to double the percentage of lo-cally grown produce it sells to 9 percent. The statistics are motivating indeed: According to University of Wisconsin researchers, produce travels an average of 1,500 miles from farmland to plate today, up 22 percent from 1981. Half of our land and 80 percent of our water is used for agriculture, reports The Ameri-can Journal of Clinical Nutrition, and pesticide use has increased 33-fold since the 1940s. Meanwhile, health problems

associated with agricultural chemicals are on the rise. “We have been through 100 years of industrialization of our food supply, and consumers have begun to wake up and realize they have no idea how their food is made,” says historian and food policy writer James McWilliams, an as-sociate professor at Texas State Univer-sity. “Historians will look back on this time as momentous.” But with every revolution come tough questions—and fiery debate—on

how best to participate. Is it better to buy “organic,” “natural” or “local”? Is shopping at a farmers’ market inherently more green? Are there other ways, such as planting a garden or eschewing meat, that can make an even bigger impact? In reality, there are no easy answers, but, “Consumers need to be prepared to take on a bit more complexity in how we think about food, and not fall so eas-ily for simple mantras (like Eat Local and Buy Organic),” advises McWilliams.

The Case for OrganicAsk Rodale Inc. CEO Maria Rodale what consumers can do to improve their health and environment, and her answer is unequivocal. “If you do just one thing—make one conscious choice—that can change the world, go organic,” she writes in her new book, Organic Manifesto: How Organic Farming Can Heal Our Planet, Feed the World, and Keep Us Safe. Rodale’s grandfather founded Organic Farming and Gardening magazine (today’s Organic Gardening) in the 1940s, jump-starting an organic movement that by the 1960s was nearly synonymous with environmentalism. But today, Rodale concedes, the organic in-dustry faces a public relations challenge, as consumers trade from USDA Organic-certified foods to “locally grown” or cheaper “natural” options. One 2009 survey by The Shelton Group found that out of 1,000 shop-pers, 31 percent looked for the “natural” label, while 11 percent looked for “or-ganic.” “There is a giant misperception among consumers that somehow natural is the word that is regulated and organic is not. In fact, it is actually the other way around,” says CEO Suzanne Shelton. Law mandates that U.S. Depart-ment of Agriculture (USDA) products labeled organic be free of pesticides, hormones and genetically modified organisms (GMOs), and that animals be given access to the outdoors. By contrast, the Food and Drug Ad-ministration vaguely describes natural as, “Nothing artificial or synthetic has been included in, or has been added to a food that would not normally be

expected to be in the food.” With the exception of meat, it is up to the manu-facturer to define what natural means. (In 2009, the USDA defined “naturally raised” meat as, “… raised entirely without growth promoters, antibiotics, and never been fed animal byproducts.” It says nothing about GMOs or humane animal treatment.) Organic advocates point out that a genetically modified animal could be fed genetically modified feed and con-fined to a narrow pen and still be billed as natural. A loaf of natural bread could be made with grains repeatedly sprayed with pesticides and man-made fertilizer. “Natural refers to the end product,” explains the Organic Trade Association. “It does not provide any information about how the product was produced.” What about buying local? Rodale argues that, while focusing on local is

if you were eating organic, you pretty much were eating food from a local farmer. But when the big companies came in and you could get organic produce grown in Mexico, it wasn’t the same anymore. We still wanted to know where our food was coming from.” Professional dancer-turned-ethno-botanist Leda Meredith started a 250-mile challenge in 2007, in part to see if a time-crunched professional in wintery Brooklyn could achieve what Loca-vores in warmer climes had. At first, adjusting to the realities was rough. Local cooking oil was hard to find (she saved the rendered fat from her locally raised duck and used it to pop locally grown popcorn) and her one-bedroom apartment was not ideal for stockpil-ing canned produce (she keeps canned local tomatoes and dried wild mush-rooms under her bed). “But, by year’s end, it had become my new normal,” says Meredith, author of The Locavore’s Handbook: The Busy Per-son’s Guide to Eating Local on a Budget. She chooses organic and local whenever possible, and if the food is on the Environmental Working Group’s dirty-dozen list of most pesticide-drenched food, she might even buy organic from afar. Yet, she is a Locavore at heart. “It has an impact, on local econo-mies and small farmers, and from a

great for reducing farm-to-plate miles, if it isn’t organic, it isn’t necessarily addressing the larger issue of pesticide and antibiotic use. Noting that more than 4 billion pounds of pesticides are used annually in the United States, she points to studies from the National Institutes of Health and the Mount Sinai Medical Center Children’s En-

vironmental Health Center that suggest links between agricultural antibiotic use and the rise in drug-resistant staph infec-tions in humans, and between ogano-phosphate pesticides and cancer and diabetes. “It is fine to buy local, but if there are chemicals in it, then the farmer is contaminating your own community,” Rodale says. “That’s even worse.”

The Locavore WayIn early 2005, Jennifer Maiser and a handful of friends in San Francisco de-cided to limit what they ate for a month to what was produced within 100 miles of home base. By August, 1,000 people had signed on at Maiser’s EatLocalChal-lenge.com. By 2007, “locavore” was the Word of the Year of the New Oxford American Dictionary. “It just snowballed,” recalls Maiser. “I think it had a lot to do with changes in the organic movement. In the 1990s,

cook’s point of view the food is just fresher,” she says. McWilliams, a vegan and author of Just Food: Where Locavores Get it Wrong and How We Can Truly Eat Responsibly, agrees. But he takes issue with the notion that, because it necessitates fewer trans-portation miles, eating local is a better choice for the environment. He notes that the shipping of food constitutes just 9 to 11 percent of its “life-cycle assessment” (the toll it takes on the environment), while things like water use, fertilizer application and har-vesting techniques suck up far more. Is it really greener to buy local hothouse tomatoes if, according to McWilliams, they can require up to 10 times the energy? Is it really more sustainable to buy local rice from an arid state if aquifers were drained to grow it? Another issue concerns economies of scale. For instance, a shipper send-ing a truck with 2,000 apples across 2,000 miles would consume the same amount of fuel per apple as a local farmer who takes a pickup 50 miles to sell 50 apples. “Local is not necessarily greener,” accounts McWilliams. So, what is? Eating less meat, he contends. And mounting studies back up his point. Most recently, a 2009 study in The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that a carnivorous diet requires 2.9 times more water, 2.5 times more energy, 3 times more fertilizer and 1.4 times more pesticides than a vegetarian diet. “If I eat less meat or eat a vegan diet, I am automatically shrinking the carbon footprint of my diet, no matter where it comes from,” says McWilliams.

Growing Our OwnGreg Peterson says that there is another perspective often left out of the puzzle when people postulate how they can change the world by what they eat: “Food grows for free. You just have to buy a little seed and put a little water on it. People should grow their own food, share it and give it away.” From his 80-by-60-foot yard in the heart of Phoenix, Peterson grows 50 to 100 individual crops, from citrus trees

to snow peas and greens. His neighbors pop in for a bowl of peaches or a few fresh eggs. He further spreads the word by hosting gardening classes for everyone from wealthy retirees with big yards to thrifty condo dwellers wanting to grow herbs on their porches. “For me, it’s about building local food systems and making neighborhoods more resilient,” he says. “There is also something inherently spiritual about being able to go out in my front yard and pick carrots, beets and greens to make dinner.” Erin Barnett is the director of Minnesota-based LocalHarvest, which connects consumers with family farms, co-ops (collectively owned nonprofit grocery stores or buying clubs that give members discounted prices on health-conscious products in exchange for a fee and work crew hours) and CSAs (in which members buy a share and receive a box of local farm produce each week). She says that these can be excellent ways to benefit our health, environment and local economies. But there can be downsides. For example, a co-op can take years to form and is typically volunteer run, which involves a significant learning curve; it also often re-quires members to put up several hundred dollars long before the doors open. Be-longing to a CSA includes collective risk, so if it’s a bad crop year, member shares are affected. At a farmers’ market, occasionally a vendor will pass off conventional produce shipped in from afar as local or organic. As someone who buys eggs from a farmers’ market, grass-fed meat from a local farm, dry goods from a co-op, nuts from a natural food buying club, and has a garden that dwarfs her own house, Barnett puts it this way: Ask questions first. Then make a plan. “Everyone is going to concoct their own way of meeting their needs by bal-ancing their relationships with local people and their beliefs about organic,” she says. “It is very complex. But at least people are talking about it.”

Small Family Farm Thinks Big

When Helen and Bill McLaughlin pur-chased their Long Valley farm in 2005,

they did so with big plans to start living a healthier lifestyle—and to bring that option to the greater community. They worked to renovate the house, barn and 18 acres of farmland. Now, six years later, their work has paid off in spades. Mini Mac Farm, at 273 Pleasant Grove Road, proudly offers naturally raised beef, pork, chicken, eggs, seasonal vegetables, herbs and cut flowers. The McLaughlins are committed to safe, sustainable farming practices and grow all their crops and hay without the use of harmful pesticides. Their animals are raised without antibiotics, growth hormones or steroids. Mini Mac Farm has been approved by the Washington Township Board of Health; its meats are packaged in a USDA-inspected facility, and its eggs are collect-ed twice a day for optimal freshness, cleaned, candled and boxed on site. Helen and Bill McLaughlin are also invested in the welfare of other small farms that share their ideals. Instead of competing with local farms, Mini Mac Farm has taken the lead in strengthening their network. As a re-sult, Mini Mac now boasts an expanded line of meats and game purchased from similarly minded family farms that also practice sustainable farming. To learn more, visit MiniMacFarm.com or contact Helen at 973-713-9770. See ad on page 16.


“Produce Pete” Napolitano will be the first to admit that he doesn’t understand all the hype that sur-rounds him. “I’m always amazed,” he laughs. “I’ll

meet celebrities I’m in awe of who tell me they’ve always wanted to meet me!” For all his modesty, Napolitano has certainly had his share of celebrity moments. A well-known fruit and veg-etable aficionado, author, and former owner of his family’s legendary business, Napolitano’s Produce, in Bergenfield, he currently appears in a weekly segment on NBC’s Weekend Today in New York every Saturday morning. He is also a print and broadcast spokesperson for the A&P family of supermar-kets and has appeared on such shows as The View.

A contagiously exuberant and ardent ambassador of the Garden State, “Produce Pete” Napolitano is extremely supportive of the growth of farmers markets, which he feels are instrumental in bringing people back to nature and to the roots of the food we should be eating. “The farmer is the backbone of our economy,” he explains, noting that in today’s produce business, where items often travel a great distance and are subject to the negative effects of fluctuating temperatures and time, “buying local is critical to preserving freshness, flavor, and the strength of our area market.” Napolitano developed his strong connection to fruits and vegetables as a child growing up in northern New Jersey. The son of a produce peddler, he began working for his

father at the age of four, selling produce door to door. His father eventually opened Napolitano’s Produce in 1959, a business that Pete bought from him ten years later and ran for more than 25 years. “Growing up,” he says, “fruits and vegetables were like comfort foods to us. Even today, if you offered me the choice of a lobster or a plate of escarole and beans, I’d choose the escarole and beans.” Pete fondly recalls how, when money was tight at Christmas, his moth-er would wrap fresh oranges and other fruits in colored foil and give them to Pete and his siblings as gifts. “And we were always so excited to get them!” These days, in addition to instruct-ing viewers on which fruits and veg-etables are in season and how to get the maximum flavor and benefit from them, Pete takes great satisfaction in helping kids enjoy the natural bounty around them and adopt healthy eating habits. He regularly visits area schools to promote the importance of eating produce with every meal, advocating putting fruit on top of cereal for break-fast, having an apple or peach during the day as a snack, adding lettuce to a sandwich at lunch, and having a potato with dinner. “Eating healthy is a lifestyle choice that should be taught to kids early so they start these good habits when they’re young,” he recommends. “Parents should encourage their kids to try everything and should also avoid overcooking vegetables, which may be why kids complain that they don’t like them.” Does Pete Napolitano view himself as a hero, someone who embodies the values of the hard-working small-business owner upon which New Jersey was built, or the spokesperson who is working to promote the Garden State’s bounty? “I really like people and I love what I do,” he shrugs. “In the end, noth-ing is more important than your health.”

Spring—when the natural world reawakens and

bursts with renewed energy—is an ideal season to clean up our act. A cleansing diet to eliminate toxins from our body is as much a rite of spring as sweeping debris from our home. In my nutri-tion practice, I have often seen how after a sedentary winter of consuming heavier foods, our bodies may be carrying around as much as five to 10 pounds of toxic wastes. While a properly function-ing human body has its own built-in detoxification system, it can be easily overwhelmed by today’s proliferation of environmental toxins. The newest envi-ronmental assault on the body’s detox system is electro-pollution, according to research highlighted in the 2007 BioIniative Report, a metastudy of 2,000 peer-reviewed studies compiled by an international group of researchers, scien-tists and health policy officials. Compounding the problem, envi-ronmental toxins also play havoc with our body’s built-in weight regulation system. In short, the more toxic our body becomes, the harder it is to lose weight.

Detox Equals Weight LossClinical research from the University of Quebec as far back as 2002 suggests that toxins slow metabolism. It is widely held that because many toxins are fat-soluble and stored in body fat, as the fat melts away, the toxins are released

into the bloodstream; this inhibits the production of thyroid hormone, with a resulting metabolic meltdown. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, spring is the season to support the prime organs of detoxification—the liver and gallblad-der. The liver alone impacts some 400

bodily functions, so it deserves support. The following symptoms recommend giving these organs some special care:n Chronic tension in neck and shouldersn Sensitivity beneath the rib cage (particularly the right side)n Feeling tired and sleepy after eatingn Nausea, especially after eating fatty foodsn Hormonal imbalances with hot flashes due to menopausen Premenstrual irritability and bloatingn Light-colored stoolsn Waking between 1 a.m. and 3 a.m.

Detox Diet BasicsStart off each morning for two weeks (or up to a maximum of two months), with hot lemon water, perhaps spiced with cinnamon and ginger, for an added metabolic boost. The antioxidant D-limonine in lemon thins bile and is helpful in breaking down fat-trapping toxins. Use the juice of one small lemon to eight ounces of warm water. Then, sip a total of 64 ounces of cran-water between meals throughout

the day. Mix one ounce of unsweetened cranberry juice per seven ounces of pure water. Cranberry helps to balance pH, suppress hunger and combat cellulite and water retention, while drawing out fatty wastes by targeting lymph (a sec-ondary circulatory system beneath the skin that works to rid the body of toxic wastes, bacteria, heavy metals, dead cells, trapped proteins and fat). Sipped daily, this antioxidant- and phenol-rich elixir works to help reduce bloating and melt fat from hips, waist and thighs. Nutrient-rich spring greens like arugula, collard or dandelion greens, lettuce, parsley, spinach, Swiss chard and watercress are classic foods used in a spring detox. Other good choices are antioxidant foods that supply the body with glutathione, the liver’s premier antioxidant, also known as, “the toxic waste neutralizer,” which is vital to or-gan detoxification. Broccoli sprouts are one of the best sources of glutathione; so is asparagus. Eating lightly steamed kale, Brussels sprouts, and cabbage can also support the liver’s ability to detoxify the body. Finally, eating adequate protein is essential to ensure that the liver can produce the enzymes it needs to break down toxins into water-soluble sub-stances for excretion. Protein plays a crucial role in tissue growth and healing, strengthening the immune system and burning fat. Eat at least 4 to 6 ounces of wild salmon, free-range organic poultry or hemp protein each day during detox. Choosing a daily dose of high-quality glutathione-boosting whey protein pow-der or a brown rice/yellow pea protein powder is another way to pump up the detox process. Such spring cleaning can help purge our body of toxins and give our whole system the cleansing boost it needs, si-multaneously preparing it for even more healthy weight loss in coming months.

But raising money for this organization wasn’t easy. I started to look closely at the busi-ness model Dad was working on at the time to produce and sell high-quality products, with profits going to various charities. I thought it was a great idea that could be done a little differently, and decided to create an organic line of food products. My hope was to have the line support organic agriculture and

Following in her famous parents’ footsteps, Nell Newman, daughter of actors and environmental

activists Joanne Woodward and Paul Newman, launched Newman’s Own Organics in 1993 with business partner Peter Meehan. She is also the author of The Newman’s Own Organics Guide to a Good Life: Simple Measures that Benefit You and the Place You Live. Since 1982, the Newman’s Own Foundation, which originated with her father’s company, Newman’s Own, has donated more than $300 million to educational and charitable organiza-tions worldwide.

Why did you decide to create Newman’s Own Organics?In 1989 I worked as the development director for the Santa Cruz Predatory Bird Research Group, trying to raise money for this small nonprofit. I was very motivated to do this work because I was dumbfounded by how the per-egrine falcon and the bald eagle popu-lations were being decimated due to the use of the synthetic pesticide DDT.

better the environment, while providing funds to worthy nonprofits.

Did your parents always support your definition of truly healthy food?I grew up in an old Colonial farmhouse in Westport, Connecticut, and my par-ents were always interested in healthy food and cooking. Mom had been a health foodie since the late ’60s, and she taught me how to cook at an early age. Dad taught me how to fish and how to pick ripe produce from the local farm stand. But I realized that Dad associated all health food with nut loaf topped with yeast gravy and “atomic” muffins, made with heavy whole wheat. He had some stubborn ideas about what he thought organic food really was. So, one year, I secretly prepared a totally organic Thanksgiving dinner for the family. When Dad finished his plate I asked, “So, how did you like your organic dinner?” He was surprised and knew he’d been had, but also realized that organic food didn’t have to taste funny. Our first product for Newman’s Own Organics, an organic pretzel, became Dad’s favorite snack.

How do you advocate for the principles of sustainable agriculture?My big goal in life is to support the growth of organic agriculture, because the impact is profound. Our company uses as many organic ingredients in our products as we possibly can.

Today, I also love to farm organi-cally in my backyard. I have nine chick-ens, a peach tree, a couple of citrus trees and four raised beds for fruits and vegetables.

What role did social responsibility play in your family life?I knew my parents were politically ac-tive, but “socially responsible” wasn’t even a term when I was growing up. They never lectured or made a big deal about their philanthropy; I only learned about it through their example. Dad’s company began because people loved his homemade salad dressing; he was always putting it in big wine bottles and giving it away. Al-though he thought it was a harebrained idea and was told that celebrity prod-ucts usually fail, he eventually decided to sell it. In the first year he made $890,000; at that time he was at the peak of his acting career and instead of pocketing the money, he donated it to selected charities.

Why did you decide to develop a line of organic pet foods?When I was a kid, we had five dogs, six cats and a pet skunk. I was also a bud-ding ornithologist, and as a teenager I practiced the art of falconry, because the peregrine was my favorite bird. I’ve always loved animals, so organic pet food seemed like a natural product line extension to me. It was a challenge to convince Dad, but we finally launched the pet line in 2005 and it’s been highly suc-cessful. Because the type of food an animal eats affects its quality of life, it’s vital to make sure pets receive the highest quality of foods that are clos-est to what they would eat in the wild. Plus, the happier our animals are, the happier we are.

This month is a pow-erful time to assess where we’ve been,

acknowledge where we are right now and dream our most beautiful life into being. Starting now, we can move from the outdated modes of our limited thinking mind to tune into our eternal divine mind. Acting on these three recommended cleansing phases—one a week for the next three weeks—will work to lift us out of resignation and mediocrity into hope and excite-ment, and connect us with a future filled with surprises, possibility and deep purpose.

Week One: The Past. The first seven days of what I call The 21-Day Consciousness Cleanse are dedicated to creating a powerful magnet of desire and cleaning out the turbulent emo-tions, outdated beliefs, unresolved inci-dents and restricting thoughts that have taken root in our minds and hearts.

n Write a list of the grudges and resentments

you have been carrying around that you are ready to let go. Release them by tear-ing up the paper into tiny little pieces.

n Understanding that your outer world is a re-flection of your inner world, re-

lease 100 pieces of clutter from your

past that now occupy your home, office and surroundings.

Liberated from the confusion, fear, guilt and self-doubt of the past, you will naturally open up to new realms of awareness, emotional freedom and spiritual liberation. Week Two: The Present. Having released everything that has depleted your vitality and held you back, stand firmly in the present moment. Take an honest look at where and who you are today, observing what is and is not working in your life.

Consciousness CleanseThree Weeks to a Better Future

by debbie ford

n Begin an ongoing present-moment awareness practice today. Set an hourly alarm; then, each time it reminds you, become present for five minutes to na-ture, to your body and breath or to the present moment itself.

n Surprise yourself by challenging pre-conceptions of yourself; take measured risks and do something differently today.

In this enhanced sense of the present, you can listen more deeply to the call-ing of your soul.

Week Three: The Future. In this final phase, you have the opportunity to look into the future and see who you want to be from this day forward.

n Choose a sacred value that can serve as the foundation for your future, such as abundance, compassion, grace or integ-rity, and surround yourself with images, prayers, songs and scents that invoke it for you. Identify and act on choices that allow you to express that value.

n Spend time each morning, afternoon and evening checking in with your nat-ural divine GPS. See if you made wrong turns and find out where that still, small voice wants you to go next.

Reconnecting with your highest self, you will experience more love, contentment and compassion as you step into the brilliance of your soul’s purpose. Why not seize this extraordinary opportunity to till the soil of your consciousness and plant the seeds of a whole new future?

EXERCISE DETOX

Six Ways to Burn Calories and Clean Out Your System

by annie b. bond

There are as many different types of exercise as there are ways to move. Although all types of exercise will

help to detoxify your body, some are clearly more beneficial than others. Try one of these today and feel better immediately.

Walk This Way Generally speaking, aerobic exercises like walking, jogging, cycling and swimming are the most detoxifying. Of the wide array of choices, walking is hands-down the most popular. It is something almost everyone can do to get a daily dose of healthy detoxification.

Jump for Joy Bouncing on a trampoline, such as a mini-tramp or rebounder, is one of the least appreciated exercises for cleansing and strengthening every cell of the body. Experts point out that it is also one of the best work-outs for activating the lymphatic system.

Let Your Body Flow For centuries, yoga has been prescribed as moving medicine for the immune system. Yoga has been reported to lower stress hormones that compromise im-munity, while stimulating the lymphatic system to purge toxins and bring fresh, nutrient-oxygenated blood to each organ to help ensure optimum functioning.

fitbody Pick Up the Pace There’s a longstanding myth among participants that exercising at a lower intensity for a longer duration maximizes the burning of fat and releases toxins. Not true. To really rev up metabolism, burn more calories and keep the fat-burning switch turned on longer after an exercise session, try picking up the pace for one or more shorter periods.

Make Some Muscle Strength training is known to boost natural muscle-making chemicals such as human growth hormone and preserve the muscle we have, while also replacing the muscle tissue we’ve lost. Lifting weights also helps us shed fat by simply burning calories. As a bonus, a calorie-burning metabolism can stay elevated for up to 48 hours after we’ve finished lifting.

Take It OutsideWhen possible, infuse an exercise routine with fresh air by doing it outdoors. When exercising outside, it’s important that we not add to our toxic burden by walking or jogging along busy roads or highways, because breathing in chemical-laced exhaust nullifies the benefits.

As the Sierra Club notes: “Camping today includes the traditional fun of being outdoors in a group and [at the same time] can also be an experience in eco-

friendly living and practices.” Families looking for the perfect green summer camp will find programs for every child, from the nature neophyte to a budding biologist or environmental activist. Campers can choose to dig into organic farming, nat-uralist explorations, conscious living classes, green building

programs or even sustainable living projects in exotic places. Camp has always proved a perfect time to unplug from daily routines and connect with the extraordinary. As Peg Smith, CEO of the American Camp Association, observes: “Camps have been introducing children to the wonder and beauty of the natural world for 150 years.” Fortunately, the trend continues, in spades.

What’s in StoreEco-friendly camps can prove to be both an educational and experiential immersion in the living of green values for a child, establishing a pattern for life. Many camps mirror the sustainable practices families follow at home, like using energy-saving devices, composting and encouraging healthy eating and organic gardening. For example, campers entering kindergarten through sixth grade like experiencing farm life at the Gwynn Valley Camp, in North Carolina (GwynnValley.com). Youngsters pick vegetables from the organic garden, milk the cows and gather eggs. This camp grows 70 percent of its food and has implemented many energy-saving practices.

ECO-CAMPS FOr KIDSby gail condrick

Just the mention of summer camp evokes parents’ memories of communal living, new challenges and outdoor fun in close encounters with nature’s wonders. Today’s new generation of eco-friendly camps for our kids offer all of these experiences and more.


In Maryland, at Camp Calleva’s sustainable farm (Calleva.org), attendees learn about environmentally friendly de-sign through hands-on alternative energy projects that change each year. Their Build Green and Grow Green weeks, for instance, have engaged campers in building a rainwater collection system for crops and farm animals, a biofuel project and this summer, a windmill alternative energy design. Likewise, the Green River Preserve, in North Carolina (GreenRiverPreserve.org), offers environmental programs for the academically gifted, creative and cu-rious. Kids take daily hikes with naturalist mentors, learning the science behind their experiences, and help harvest, eat and compost vegetables grown onsite. Of course, traditional camp activities add to the fun. The camp partners with the Leave No Trace Center for Outdoor Ethics, which encourages caring steward-ship of Planet Earth. Teens from 13 to 17 years old en-joy programs offered at the Omega Teen Camp, in Holmes, New York (search Teen Camp at eomega.org). On top of outdoor adventures, the camp offers 50 class selections, from dance, yoga and Tai chi to meditation and “Face Your Fears” consciousness classes. When it’s time for dinner, they enjoy vegetarian and organic food selections, with most meals made from scratch. Know a mature teen, ready for travel and community service? Bold-Earth Adventures’ (BoldEarth.com) summer camps include between six

families, mentoring tomorrow’s leaders—

our children—in navigating the future.”

and 40 hours of service. Participants might plant and har-vest organic vegetables in rural Ecuador, rehabilitate wild animals at an Amazon conservation project, or help restore hiking trails in Colorado. For families who prefer to explore close to home, the Sierra Club gives tips to turn any backyard into a year-round environmental adventure camp. One suggestion involves putting up a tent, unfolding sleeping bags and grabbing flashlights for an outdoor evening looking up at the stars (search Backyard Camping at SierraClub.org). Summer is far from the only season for Earth-oriented experiences. Young people can make the most of environmental programs sponsored by local parks and recreation departments, Scout troops, schools and churches, any time they’re offered.

Benefits of the Natural WorldCamp allows kids to take a break from electronics and breathe in a renewed sense of nature’s daily miracles. Con-necting to nature fights the “nature deficit syndrome,” spot-lighted in Richard Louv’s Last Child in the Woods, in which he comments on the state of too many of our youth today: “A kid today can likely tell you about the Amazon rain forest—but not about the last time he or she explored the woods in solitude, or lay in a field listening to the wind and watching the clouds move.” Louv is founder of the Children and Nature Network (ChildrenAndNature.org). Whether our perfect eco-camp is educational or sustain-able, in the mountains or under a backyard tent, the experi-ence of just being in nature can be life-changing for a child and for the whole family.

Dear Friend, Every day, people come to see me looking for an answer to those agonizing headaches they’ve endured for years. Many have been to several doctors, tried several drugs, and have had very expensive tests. My patient, Roseann, had migraine headaches since first grade. She’d been to generalists, specialists, had CAT scans, MRI’s, and been on some powerful medications . . . all of which didn’t help. She suffered for 20 years. Another patient, Aggie, just went three weeks without a migraine for the first time in years (she hadn’t gone longer than a few days without one). All that suffering, when the answer was just removing nerve pressure in their spines. Their cases are not unusual at all. “This month I’m reaching out to people with headaches.” It bothers me that many have been told there is no answer for them, when perhaps there is. No doctor can guarantee a cure; however, chiropractic care has been shown to help countless people. And, it’s not just migraines and headaches. I’m blessed to help people with chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, carpal tunnel syndrome, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few. I often see people who’ve come to me as a “last resort.” As a chiropractor, I do things differently. I’m not going to give you medications to cover up symptoms because my job is to get to the root cause of the health problems. You need to know that I don’t “cure” anyone. Your body is designed to always strive to heal itself. Sometimes, nerve interference gets in the way of that inborn striving towards health. What I do is remove nerve pressure, and allow the body to heal itself. I’m not a miracle worker; your body is the real miracle. Although all people respond differently to care, most people who see a chiropractor are satisfied. Thanks, and God Bless. Fred Rossi, D.C.

P.S. If another member of your family or a good friend wants to come in with you for this exam, we’ll do that second exam for $27.

Bring in this article by March 31st and I’ll give you a new patient exam for $67 with x-rays, paraspinal thermal imaging . . . the whole thing ($260 value). Further care is very affordable and you’ll be happy to know that we have family plans. You can call me, or Maya, at ROSSI FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC. We can help you.

Humans have had good reasons to grow basil, rosemary and other culinary herbs for thou-

sands of years. Edible herbal accents and aromas enhance the beauty and flavor of every dish they touch, be they sprigs of fresh parsley tossed into hot couscous or marjoram and thyme sparking a savory risotto. A big garden isn’t needed to grow most kitchen herbs; in fact, it’s often better to grow these culinary gems in pots. In any household, the sweet spot for cultivating herbs is a puddle of sun-shine near the kitchen door. Time and again, the cook will dash out to gather a handful of this or that while two or three dishes simmer on the stove. Dinner is less likely to boil over when herbs can be snagged in a matter of seconds.

Individual Pots vs. Container BouquetsBecause small pots heat up and dry out faster than larger ones, herbs usually grow best in larger containers. Fourteen-inch-wide plastic or fiberglass pots are lightweight, easy to handle and provide ample room for four or more plants. Half-barrel wooden planters are great and fixed oblong planters also work well. Cooks and gardeners will have the most fun combining upright herbs that reach for the sky with others that tend toward low, mounding growth. When shopping for seedlings, look for interest-ing ways to combine leaf textures and foliage colors, too. For example, an-chor an herbal container bouquet with red-leafed basil and surround it with marjoram and thyme. Then, create a

second container by combining silvery sage with green chives and curly parsley. This two-pot herb garden will produce a season’s worth of fresh flavors.

Eight Easy Herbs for PotsBasil’s spicy-sweet flavor with strong floral notes puts it on everyone’s plant-ing list. This fast-growing annual loves warm weather. Basil planted in the early part of the growing season will produce numerous flowering spikes within a couple of months, which should be snipped off. The more basil is pinched back, the bushier it becomes.

Chives taste like very mild scallions, and plants will produce new leaves through-out the growing season, if trimmed regu-larly. These cold-hardy plants become dormant off-season and return the fol-lowing year, featuring an early show of edible pink flowers. The slender, upright leaves combine well with other herbs.

Dill is a fast-growing annual that prefers cool growing conditions. Its leaves, flow-ers and seeds carry a savory tang that enhances the flavor of pickles, marinated vegetables and breads. Placed in the center of a large pot, a single dill plant will grow more than two feet tall and may require staking.

Marjoram deserves wider use, because the little plants combine a light oregano flavor with subtle notes of mint and lemon, and marjoram tastes good raw or cooked. Its lanky stems look lovely spill-

The Herbal KitchenEight Easy Picks for Container Gardening

Keep culinary herbs handy by growing them in a large pot just outside the kitchen door.

by barbara Pleasant

Mix it UpWhen shopping for plants, experi-ment with the way herbs from these two groups look when they are ar-ranged together:

n Upright growth habit: basil, chives, dill, rosemary, sagen Mounding growth habit: marjo-ram, parsley, thyme


ing over the sides of mixed containers.Parsley needs a bit more moisture than other herbs, so place it closer to the center than the edge in mixed contain-ers. Both mild-flavored curly and more assertive flat-leafed Italian parsley do well in roomy containers.

Rosemary tolerates strong sun and heat, so it’s a wise choice in hot months. Northerners grow rosemary as an annu-al, but in milder climates, these woody perennials can continue as a perennial for years. Rosemary’s piney flavor and aroma takes center stage in rice dishes and casseroles, and the woody stems make delightful skewers.

Sage charms everyone with its luminous leaves, which may be gray-green or var-iegated with pink and cream, depending on variety. Smoky sage is the definitive herb to pair with poultry, and it’s great with potatoes, too.

Thyme is the flavorful herb that brings depth to many French and Cajun dishes. The fresh version is incomparable for lending savory flavor notes to fresh vegetables. Both English thyme and low-growing lemon thyme make appealing edge plants in mixed containers.

How to Transplant Herbs

Follow these simple steps to get any container herb garden off to a strong start.

1. Water seedlings and set them in a shady spot. Meanwhile, fill a large container that has at least one drain-age hole to within two inches of the brim with fresh potting soil.

2. Keeping seedlings in their nurs-ery pots, array them into a pleas-ing arrangement, with the tallest plants placed near the center. Then, squeeze each plant from its nursery pot and nestle it into the soil in the selected spot.

3. Use scissors to trim off any broken branches and thoroughly water the container herb garden. Keep newly planted containers in a shady spot for about three days. In stationary plant-ers, cover the plants with flowerpots to shade them from direct sunshine. Remove the shade covers after three days, water again, then start snipping bits of fresh herbs as needed for the kitchen. Herbs generally develop their best flavors when they receive sun most of the day. In hotter cli-mates, move herb containers to par-tial shade during the hotter months to prevent excessive heat stress.

NEVER BE WITHOUT TEETH, INCLUDING IMPLANTSPatients travel from around the country to Denville, in search of the perfect smile.

Denville is famous for its medical community. So, it’s no surprise that a perfect smile is a must have item in this friendly town. Hand crafting those smiles is the life work of Dr. Steiner and Dr. Fine. Our offi ce’s reputation has spread so far that we now treat patients from around the world; often doing more smile makeovers in a single month that some dentists do in a lifetime.

We also offer an amazing alternative for those living with missing teeth. This dramatic advancement in the fi eld of dental implantology now makes it possible for many patients to switch from dentures to permanent implant supported teeth in only a few hours. This new approach can be used to replace a single missing tooth or an entire mouth. Patients leave the offi ce after just one appointment with a beautiful and strong smile. Discomfort is so minimal that most patients eat a light meal that evening.

Upon entering our front door you will immediately know that this is no ordinary dental offi ce, because that’s what most people say upon seeing it for the fi rst time. Among our practice’s notable patients are actresses, actors, astronauts, models and TV personalities. However most of the doctor’s patients are everyday people who just want to look their best.

Drs. Steiner, Fine and Kwiatkowski have focused their practice on those areas about which they are highly passionate. (After all you wouldn’t ask your family doctor to do heart surgery.) Those areas are Cosmetic Dentistry. Trained at the prestigious Las Vegas Institute for advanced dental studies, they have devoted over fi fty combined years to perfecting their skills and have placed over 23,000 cosmetic restorations. Our main focus is on cosmetic and full mouth reconstruction cases. This includes Implant Dentistry and Neuromuscular Orthodontics, which can avoid unecessary removal of teeth. Many people do not realize that dental problems may be the cause of headaches, shoulder, back and neck pain, noisy jaw joints and pains in the TMJ.

Drs. Steiner, Fine and Kwiatkowski pride themselves in having Morris County’s premier head, neck and jaw pain relief center. Our offi ce also offers a “limited warranty” that provides free repair or replacement of restorative dental work, when a patient’s regular hygiene visits are maintained. This kind of security could only be offered by truly World Class Dentists. This is why our motto is: “Experienced professionals make the difference.”
