ABOUT THIS WEEKS MENU Like always, there are several delicious and all time favorite dishes to choose from on this weeks food delivery menu such as Brown Rice and Millet With Seitan and Shiitakes, Fillo Pastry Puffs With Cranberry and Onion Tapenade, and fragrant Apple Cobbler to name a few.
There are two great dishes with the all important "greens" in them  this week, (the White Bean and Arugula Miso Soup, and the Field Of Greens), so we have made greens are our star player this week and we wanted to tell you a little bit about them!
Greens such as collard greens and kale contain virtually as much  calcium as a cup of milk. One cup of milk provides 297 mg of calcium. One cup of cooked collard greens provides 226 mg of calcium. Collard greens have less than half the calories of milk, and virtually NO fat! Calcium is primarily known for its role in maintaining the strength and density of bones, but recent studies have found that it also helps protect cells from cancer by
supporting the body's detox and anti-inflammatory systems, prevents migraine headaches, and reduces PMS symptoms. When the body does not have enough calcium in the blood it takes it from the bones, so listen up vegetarians: prolonged low dietary calcium can lead to weakened bones. Leafy greens such as those featured on our menu this week are one of the best ways to naturally boost dietary calcium consistently, as in: you should be eating them every single day!
Greens are also the livers best friend, providing it with compounds that boost its ability to produce enzymes that neutralize toxins. The liver is responsible for an enormous number of metabolic activities essential to good health and well - being and totally deserves to be supplied with the nutrients essential to its optimal function.
Steamed greens are also very alkalizing. They have the ability to bind acids in the digestive tract (bile acids from the liver in fact), making it easier to excrete them from the body. Bile acids contain cholesterol that is meant to be excreted from the body if everything is working properly, so this bile acid binding and excretion property of greens such as collards, kale, arugula, etc. naturally and healthily lowers the body's cholesterol level while alkalizing acidity.
Not only that, but they taste great as well. The bitter ~ peppery flavor of the barely wilted arugula in the White Bean and Arugula Miso Soup explodes with flavor, and the Field Of Greens is as colorful as it is tasty, brimming with pleasing flavors, textures, fiber, and nutrients. And not to be left out, the Bowtie Pasta Portabello is fun and tasty too, and BTW, the broccoli in
it is another vegetable that is super high in calcium.
We hope you enjoy, there is plenty to choose from!

WEEKLY ARTICLE HAND WASHING 102 A few weeks ago we wrote an article called Hand Washing 101. Much of it was borrowed from a class Gayle took in nursing school about how to wash your hands properly in a health care setting in order to prevent the spread of germs. What Gayle learned in nursing school some 30 years ago leant itself very well to our healthy life-style today, and was an excellent beginning to an evolution of hand washing tips and techniques that we have perfected over the years since. We just had to incorporate these tips and techniques into a newsletter and share them with you. Thus the Hand Washing 101 article. If you missed it, let us know, we'll send it to you.
 Then this week, just when we thought we had covered absolutely everything about hand washing, we found an article entitled, "Warning: Don't Use The Restroom Hand Dryer" which presented news to us that we weren't aware of and thought worthy
of sharing, so that we can all add it to our list of healthy lifestyle / hand washing techniques.
In Wholly Macro's Hand Washing 101 article we went through the entire process of how to not only wash your hands properly, but how to dry them as well, but we never even mentioned the hand blow dryers found in public restrooms. To be honest, we don't like them much, never really did, but could not quite pinpoint why, until now. Here is the problem with them:
Several scientific studies have found that drying your hands with the blow dryer increases the number of germs on clean hands to four times greater than after using paper towel on clean hands. A recent study done in London in 2009 found that people who used a blow dryer to dry their hands had two to three times more pathogenic bacteria on their hands after drying them as they did before washing them.
This is important to note because pathogenic bacteria are the type that carry / cause disease.
The culprit: the vents located on the bottom of the dryers.
Bathroom dryers "live" in a warm moist environment, the very environment that bacteria, fungus, and viruses thrive in, and the vents become contaminated with them. The dryers don't get hot enough to kill the germs, only warm enough to dry your hands while helping the germs to thrive and multiply! Not only that, but studies have also found that the warm air from the dryers actually disperses the pathogenic germs all around the entire bathroom!
Based on the above science, it is better to leave the restroom with wet hands than to use the hand dryer. And whatever you do, don't breathe!!
What we have always done here at Wholly Macro, is scope the bathroom out upon entering (per the Hand Washing 101 article). If there is a blow dryer only, we grab a huge wad of toilet paper while in the toilet, to use to dry our hands, and also to turn off the faucets and open the door handle on the way out so as not to expose our clean hands to dirty faucets and handles. And they had better have a garbage can strategically placed to put the used toilet paper in after exiting.
What Wholly Macro will do now (with this newly gleaned and highly valuable information) if we enter a bathroom with a blow dryer only: Find Another Bathroom!!!! We highly suggest that you all do the same!
In Health As Always.

Here's some feedback from a consultation client..... " three years ago I discovered that I had breast cancer. I had heard of Macrobiotics years ago. I didn't understand the concept but immediately I knew that that would be the route that I would pursue. But where to go and who to see was the question. Thank God for reading the macrobiotic newsletter. For in the newsletter there was an article about Gayle Stolove. I just felt her strength and passion burn through the page that I was reading. I immediately made an appointment to see her and although I was still so frightened, I felt so comfortable talking with Gayle. Gayle guided me through the whole process. I thought that the macrobiotic way of life would be boring and just eating rice. Well, I love the foods that I eat and I just feel good about it all. You see, after the surgery, you are sort of left on your own.You have to make your own decisions, etc. Everyone gives you different advice as what to eat, what to do, etc. Doctors don't understand what the patient is going through nor do they understand what kind of diet they should follow. I adopted Gayle as my guardian angel. You can't find that with any nutritionist or doctor. I love receiving her weekly e-mailed newsletters. They are so full of wonderful knowledge and beautiful healthy recipes. Gayle is a remarkable human being. She truly cares for her clients and gives them her all, one hundred percent of the time. Gayle has been there and therefore she is so compassionate and dedicates her life to helping people like me....." a cancer survivor
