RUSSIAN DENVER / HORIZON 8 By: Brian Syuki By: Beth Buczynski By: Lisa Spector As I watched pet nutrition blogger Rodney Habib’s TedX video below, I found it simultaneously jaw-dropping and not surprising. After his dog, Sammie, was diagnosed with cancer, Habib went on a mission to find out why canine cancer is a growing epidemic. Currently, one out of every two dogs will be diagnosed with cancer at some time in their life, mostly between age 6 and 12. I have a 13-year-old Labrador. Admittedly, I’m obsessed with my awareness that he’s approaching the end of his life. But, what if he weren’t? What if he could live until he’s 30 like Maggie? The Kelpie, from Austalia, was the world’s oldest dog. During Habib’s trek around 8 Foods People Commonly Mistake As Healthy Don’t blindly trust any company that tells you a certain food is healthy. Unfortunately, most brands care more about profits than your health. Over the years, you’ve probably discovered some “healthy foods” that caused more harm than good. This confusion usually happens due to false advertising and flawed scientific studies (think: “low fat” products that have more sugar and calories than their high-fat counterparts). Below I have listed 8 foods that might seem healthy from marketing efforts, but are actually not. 1. Veggie Straws Most people believe that anything with the word vegetable is healthy. But the truth is, veggie straws are potatoes and corn covered with vegetables. And they’re filled with preservatives. Don’t assume you’ve eaten your vegetables when you consume veggie straws. You’re better off eating real vegetables. Or baked sweet potato fries. 2. Low Fat Foods The low fat craze started because of the belief that saturated fats are unhealthy, but recent studies show that’s not true. When manufacturers removed fats from food it tasted horrible, so they added more sugar to make the food tastier. And as you know, sugar causes anxiety, triggers cravings and is ultimately harmful to your health. Bottom of Form 3. Fruit Juice Just because juice is extracted from fruits doesn’t make it healthy. Even homemade fruit juice is not the best; it may contain vitamins but it lacks fiber and contains the same amount of ВНИМАНИЮ ВЛАДЕЛЬЦЕВ КРУПНЫХ, low amounts of protein and fiber.

Колорадо. 5 Clever Ways To Throw A Cheaper, Greener Wedding Some girls spend a lot of time daydreaming about what their wedding will look like. When it finally comes time to plan the event, they’ve already got ideas about dresses, colors, music and food. I was not one of those girls. I had other things on my mind, like graduate school, buying a house, and paying off credit card debt. So when my longtime boyfriend and I finally decided to make it official, I was a little overwhelmed. Having spent the better part of the last year planning this shingdig, I now know a) why people hire wedding coordinators and b) how hard it can be to plan an event this size that doesn’t create a ton of waste. Bottom of Form When you’re putting a wedding together on your own, going out of your way to do extremely “green” things can be costly. What I learned is that it’s also about looking for the subtle opportunities to keep impact to a minimum. Often it’s just a matter of choosing a slightly less traditional option over the expected. Are you planning a wedding, or do you work with soon-tobe-married couples that are interested in reducing their wedding’s environmental footprint? Read on for some of the easiest ways to make the event a little greener. 1. Electronic Save-The- Dates Save-the-dates are a great way to let friends and family know “We got engaged! Keep your calendar open.” They’re especially necessary if lots of your loved ones will have to travel for the wedding. The downside is, save-the-dates are costly to print, require you to purchase stamps, find current addresses, and then you spend line where you can access them at any time! 2. Buy Alcohol In Bulk And I don’t just mean buy a lot of it. If you’ll be providing libations for your guests, caterers will try to force you to choose bottles and cans of beer. These units are simply more convenient for bartenders to handle, but choosing keg beer is actually a smarter choice. Not only will you pay less per serving, there won’t be 9,534 bottles and cans to recycle or (even worse) throw away. is yours in one fell swoop. You can even have a contest for most creative cup! And obviously this idea works with wine and non-alcoholic beverages as well. 4. Choose An All-In-One Venue Tradition dictates that the wedding happens in one place (usually a church) and the reception happens in another. With non-traditional ceremony venues becoming the new norm, however, there’s an opportunity to eliminate this Want Your Dog to Live to 30? Add This to Their Bowl the world, he spoke with researchers and scientists. He learned that dogs have a higher rate of cancer than any other mammal. In the ‘70s, dogs lived to age 17; today the average life span is 11. Why? Diabetes is up 900 percent in dogs in the last five years. Obesity is up 60 percent. While 10 percent of all cancer cases are genetic, 90 percent are the results of lifestyle and environmental influences, including stress, obesity, infection, sedentary lifestyle, toxins, pollution and most importantly diet. Top of Form Bottom of Form “30 to 40% of cancer can be prevented simply by implementing dietary changes.” – Canine Nutrigenomics Habib spoke with Norwegian <strong>N23</strong>/<strong>852</strong> от 06.17.2016 e-mail: info@gorizont.com Simply the best scientist, Thomas Sandberg, conducting a 30-year-old study (the longest observational study to date). Sandberg is hoping to prove that poor quality food may cause cancer to develop in dogs and cats, mainly due to a compromised immune system. Here’s the part of Rodney’s TedX Talk that was jaw dropping for me. Research shows that dogs on a diet of dry commercial pet food fed leafy green vegetables at least three times a week were 90 percent less likely to develop cancer than dogs that weren’t. And dogs fed yellow/orange vegetables at least three times a week were 70 percent less likely to develop cancer. I feed Sanchez and Gina organic kale, spinach, green beans and carrots, along with many fruits. Personally, I wasn’t surprised by the benefits, but by the research on just a little bit of produce being added to kibble for such a profound effect on canine health. I know the human health benefits of giving up processed foods, I just didn’t know they didn’t have to be eliminated completely for such stellar benefits for dogs. Thomas Sandberg has Great Danes, who typically live only six to eight years. In a 6-year study of 80 dogs fed a completely raw diet with low amounts of carbs, only one dog developed cancer. Another study at Purdue University showed a 90 percent decrease risk of cancer when they added green leafy vegetables to a bowl of processed food three times a week. Beautiful Venue You’ve got to go where you budget allows, but if you’re looking for ways to cut waste and save money, choosing a beautiful venue can be worth the extra up-front cost. Here’s why: a place that’s naturally beautiful –think art gallery, botanical garden, working farm, or a historical home– doesn’t need to be decorated. You can skip the flowers, bunting and pricey centerpieces and just let guests soak up the beauty of the existing landscape. Remember Maggie, the world’s oldest dog? In addition to a diet that included raw fed grass milk, she also self fasted some days. She lives on a dairy farm and exercises all day long, often getting in 9 Kilometers (5 1/2 miles). Obesity also is now known to be a contributing factor to canine cancer. We have dogs because we love them. We bring them into our human world and expect them to adjust. They do, because all they want to do is please us. We expect them to follow our house rules, listen to the music we choose, build their life around our schedules, and accept the food we choose for them. But, what if we knew more and chose differently for them? How long would they live?
