Should I<br />
Buy Organic?<br />
There has been an explosion in the marketing<br />
and availability of organic foods over the over<br />
the past few years, so it’s certainly no wonder<br />
that one of the most common questions is<br />
“should I buy organic?” Here are the facts based<br />
on the best science to date:<br />
Choosing organic is clearly better for the<br />
environment.<br />
This is demonstrable and occurs through numerous<br />
channels, including conservation of natural<br />
resources and less pollution for our water and<br />
soils.<br />
Consuming organic foods reduces the<br />
body’s exposure to pesticides.<br />
This has been confirmed through numerous<br />
scientific studies. Adults and children who consume<br />
organic foods have measurably lower<br />
levels of pesticides in their bodies. Perhaps the<br />
bigger question here is – “Are the levels of pesticide<br />
exposure received from eating conventional<br />
foods harmful to our health?” At this point<br />
in science, we simply do not have the data to<br />
definitively answer this question. Pesticides approved<br />
for use are reported to be safe at or below<br />
certain threshold levels. It is clear however<br />
that pesticides are harmful to exposed farm<br />
workers, along with “non-target” wildlife and are<br />
definitely not healthy substances.<br />
For children there are two additional caveats to<br />
consider on the safety front. Because children<br />
consume more food calories per unit of body<br />
weight and because their cells are dividing at a<br />
much more rapid rate, they are at greater risk for<br />
potential toxic effects from pesticide exposure<br />
(a developing fetus is at the greatest risk). Additionally,<br />
it is common for some kids to have<br />
very restrictive eating patterns with consumption<br />
of only one or a few types of fruits or vegetables<br />
on a regular basis. If this is the case, they will experience<br />
a greater number of exposures to the<br />
same pesticides which can also exacerbate risk.<br />
The Environmental Working Group (EWG), a notfor-profit<br />
research organization devoted to improving<br />
public health and the environment, has<br />
determined that the produce that consistently<br />
has the highest pesticide levels include: apples,<br />
bell peppers, celery, cherries, grapes (imported),<br />
nectarines, peaches, pears, potatoes, red<br />
raspberries, strawberries, and spinach. Choosing<br />
organic for this group of produce will give<br />
you and your family the greatest reduction in<br />
pesticide exposure. Spinach, strawberries, and<br />
celery are the worst of the bunch.<br />
Organic foods may or may not be more<br />
nutritious than their conventional counterparts.<br />
Some scientific studies show conventional foods<br />
are just as nutritious, while others support the contrary.<br />
Based on my knowledge of the available<br />
data, the scale tips slightly in favor of a superior<br />
nutritional profile for organic varieties. Organics<br />
generally have a bit higher mineral content because<br />
of the more stringent soil requirements for<br />
organic certification and in some cases, have<br />
a more robust supply of protective antioxidants.<br />
Organic foods may or may not taste better.<br />
Blinded taste studies are basically a wash. For<br />
those that think organic tastes better there are<br />
an equal number who find the conventional<br />
counterpart tastier.<br />
Organic foods will generally spoil more<br />
quickly.<br />
Pesticides clearly extend the shelf life and “freshness”<br />
of foods. For optimal freshness, organic<br />
foods need to be consumed more quickly.<br />
Organic foods are more expensive.<br />
You will generally pay about 20% more for organic<br />
varieties.<br />
The answer is a complicated one and ultimately<br />
depends on your feelings towards the environment,<br />
pesticide, and your pocketbook.<br />

5 Foods<br />
for Healthy<br />
Eyes<br />
Eggs:<br />
The yolk is a prime<br />
source of lutein and<br />
zeaxanthin plus zinc,<br />
which also helps<br />
reduce your macular<br />
degeneration risk.<br />
Almonds:<br />
They’re filled with vitamin E, which slows<br />
macular degeneration, research shows. One<br />
handful (an ounce) provides about half of<br />
your daily dose of E.<br />
Carrots:<br />
You’ve probably heard that carrots and other<br />
orange-colored fruits and vegetables promote<br />
eye health and protect vision, and it’s true:<br />
Beta-carotene, a type of vitamin A that gives<br />
these foods their orange hue, helps the retina<br />
and other parts of the eye to function smoothly.<br />
But eating your way to good eyesight isn’t only<br />
about beta-carotene. Though their connection<br />
to vision isn’t as well-known, several other<br />
vitamins and minerals are essential for healthy<br />
eyes. Make these five foods a staple of your<br />
diet to keep your peepers in tip-top shape.<br />
Leafy Greens:<br />
They’re packed with lutein<br />
and zeaxanthin antioxidants<br />
that, studies show,<br />
lower the risk of developing<br />
macular degeneration<br />
and cataracts.<br />
Citrus and berries:<br />
These fruits are powerhouses of vitamin C,<br />
which has been shown to reduce the risk of developing<br />
macular degeneration and cataracts.<br />
Fatty fish:<br />
Tuna, salmon, mackerel, anchovies and trout<br />
are rich in DHA, a fatty acid found in your retina—low<br />
levels of which have been linked to<br />
dry eye syndrome.<br />

Juicing<br />
What exactly is Juicing,<br />
Anyway?<br />
Juicing is the process of extracting the juice<br />
from fresh fruits and vegetables. A small kitchen<br />
appliance known as a juicer is used to extract<br />
the juice (not the pulp), and these can range<br />
in price from $50 to $500. Fresh juices should<br />
not be confused with smoothies, which are usually<br />
made in a blender, food processor, or highpowered<br />
juicer and include the fibrous pulp of<br />
the fruit and vegetable ingredients.<br />
Types of Juicers:<br />
‘’Fast’’ Juicers<br />
This type of juicer is one of the most common<br />
varieties you’ll find on the market.<br />
A fast juicer (or centrifugal juicer) grinds<br />
your fruits and veggies and then pushes<br />
the extracted juice through a strainer by<br />
spinning at a very high speed. The pulp<br />
is extracted and ejected into a special<br />
compartment, usually near the back of<br />
the juicer. This type of juicer produces<br />
pulp-free juice very quickly, but it also<br />
tends to extract less juice than other<br />
types of juicers. This type of juicer also<br />
generates more heat than other types,<br />
which some experts say could compromise<br />
the nutrients in the produce.<br />
“Slow” Juicers<br />
This juicer produces juice in two steps,<br />
using one or two gears. First, it crushes<br />
the fruits and veggies, and then it presses<br />
out the juice. These types of juicers<br />
take longer to produce juice, and they<br />
tend to be more expensive than most<br />
centrifugal juicers. However, they are<br />
said to extract more nutrients from the<br />
produce. They yield a thick juice with<br />
more pulp, yet still produce some pulp<br />
extract in a separate compartment.<br />
Reasons to Juice:<br />
• Juicing allows your digestive system to rest, so<br />
that energy may go into elimination, recovery<br />
and healing, instead of digestion. During this<br />
time, cells can repair themselves and detoxify.<br />
Freshly pressed juices provide enzymes as<br />
well as vitamins and minerals that are easily<br />
assimilated.<br />
• Juicing will help to break down the vegetables,<br />
making it easier to assimilate, so you will<br />
receive most of the nutrition.<br />
• Juicing allows you to consume more vegetables<br />
than you normally would. Some people<br />
may find eating vegetables difficult, but it can<br />
be easily accomplished with a quick glass of<br />
vegetable juice.<br />
• You can add a wider variety of vegetables in<br />
your diet. Many people eat the same vegetables,<br />
raw or cooked, every day. Foods should<br />
be rotated to prevent developing allergies.<br />
With juicing, you can juice a wide variety of<br />
vegetables that you may not normally enjoy<br />
eating whole.<br />

Can Acupuncture help me?<br />
Yes.<br />
In 1997, the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH) documented<br />
and publicized acupuncture’s safety and efficacy.<br />
Hundreds of clinical studies have proven it.<br />
Acupuncture has been successfully making people feel<br />
better for over 3,000 years.<br />
How does Acupuncture and<br />
Traditional Chinese Medicine work?<br />
Ancient Chinese secrets, right? No, it’s science.<br />
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is a science that uses<br />
Acupuncture and Herbal Medicine to assist the body in<br />
healing itself.<br />
Acupuncture improves the body’s functions and promotes<br />
the natural self-healing process by stimulating<br />
specific anatomic sites--commonly referred to as acupuncture<br />
points. We insert fine, sterile needles into the<br />
skin. I might also use massage, heat, cupping, and the<br />
application of topical herbal medicines.<br />
Health is when the body systems are in balance, everything<br />
“functioning” properly.<br />
If the flow of your nerve energy gets blocked or the blood<br />
flow interrupted, it’s like a traffic jam. The disruption can<br />
cause pain, lack of function, or illness.<br />
Modern research has demonstrated Acupuncture’s effects<br />
on your body’s nervous, endocrine, immune, cardiovascular,<br />
and digestive systems. By stimulating the<br />
body’s various systems, acupuncture can help to resolve<br />
pain, improve sleep, digestive function, and increase<br />
your sense of well-being.<br />
What happens during an acupuncture<br />
treatment?<br />
I listen. I want to get to know you and your health history.<br />
Then, I perform a physical examination. Finally, recommending<br />
a proper treatment plan.<br />
Then you lay comfortably on a treatment table while precise<br />
acupoints are stimulated on various areas of your<br />
body.<br />
Most people feel no pain or discomfort as the fine needles<br />
are gently placed. The needles are usually retained<br />
between five and 30 minutes.<br />
Most people feel very relaxed.<br />
How many treatments will I need?<br />
The frequency and number of treatments differ from person<br />
to person.<br />
Some people experience dramatic relief in the first treatment.<br />
An individualized treatment plan will be discussed during<br />
your initial visit.<br />
What conditions are commonly<br />
treated by acupuncture?<br />
Hundreds of clinical studies of acupuncture show that<br />
it successfully treats: allergies, arthritis, back pain, neck<br />
pain, any pain, nausea, migraine headaches, anxiety,<br />
depression, indigestion, GERD, insomnia, and infertility,<br />
correcting the position of a breach baby, induction of<br />
labor, morning sickness…just to name a few. For a more<br />
complete list, visit our website.<br />
