Journey of Health
MAY 2009 SPRING
 
Greetings!

Spring is almost over, oh wait I mean winter. So is Spring coming or will summer really be here? Who knows, I'm going to Texas! I will be leaving the day after the Brendan Brazier event and not returning until September.

Good news though.We are so excited to have a new employee, Rebecca Heon working with us. She is full of energy, smart, fun and just plain adorable. She is really into raw foods and learning all about what we do at Journey of Health. We are so happy to have her part of the family. Rebecca will be with us all summer so stop in and make her day or she will make yours!

We have lots going on before I go to Texas. I will have my last two raw food classes (with only a few spots available) on May 24 & 31, a Juice  Feasting 101 course and our Brendan Brazier Exclusive Raw Food Potluck. So stop in and see us before we go.

Hemp OilAmazing Hemp Oil
My new love is hemp oil. I can't believe I have been ignoring Cody on how great hemp seeds and oil is. Well, I bought Kristen Suzanne's Hemp book and started making these amazing hemp recipes, like her nacho sauce and hemp Caesar dressing. I went further and started using the oil on my skin, and oh wow!  My skin is getting moist and soft.
 
Hemp oil is one of the few seed oils containing significant quantities (20%) of alpha-linolenic acid, an important omega-3 EFA.  Hemp oil is also the source of a rare super omega-3 EFA called stearidonic acid (SDA) that is the "first metabolite" in the omega-3 family and therefore easy for the body to process. Omega-6 EFAs are frequently added to foods through the use of common vegetable oils like corn, sunflower, and safflower, however, many people are unable to properly utilize omega-6 oils because enzymes needed to metabolize these oils are hampered by stress, environmental toxicity or aging.  Hemp oil is a unique plant source of the rare and valuable super omega-6 EFA called gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) that is easy for the body to process and it bypasses the enzymatic blocks to allow proper omega-6 utilization.  GLA is the key regulator of T-lymphocyte functions in the immune system and is involved in cell metabolism and growth.
 
Remember, our skin is our largest organ and we can absorb more nutrients through our skin much quicker than eating. So put some hemp oil on you today!
