Greetings!
We recently went up to the Sustainable Living Fair, sponsored by Mother Earth News in Pennsylvania. So we are thinking sustainable, livable and long-term this week. And, we would like to suggest that wellness and good health are part of a rich, long and sustainable life.
Here are some tidbits of interest!
- Eat Organic- especially regarding the dirty dozen and learn the fruits and vegetables that rarely have much toxicity, even when not organic.
- Consider simple choices. Think about what is good for you, not good for big business.
- Ask Laura how the abdominal organs can affect your shoulders, neck, mid-back or even low back.
- See our Therapist schedule for this week. When can you get in with Laura, Amelia and Mia? Because it just might be time to take care of yourself.
Thank you for spending time with us this week.
Please read on.

Eating Well
We encourage you to take some time and be more vigilant about what food you choose to eat.
Today we are introducing you to the dirty dozen - these 12 fruits and veggies are the ones that you REALLY need to consider purchasing as organic. The Environmental Working Group (EWG), has done the calculations, and if you are willing to make the organic choice for these items, you can reduce your toxicity load by 80%. That seems like a good payoff.
This is the dirty dozen, and the clean fifteen, along with a link to EWG's printable list and their iPhone app.
Dirty Dozen:
(starting with the worst) celery, peaches, strawberries, apples, blueberries (domestic), nectarines, sweet bell peppers, spinach, kale/collard greens, cherries, potatoes and grapes (imported)
Clean Fifteen:
These items have been shown to have little pesticide residue. So if you are not going all organic, these are safer, non-organic choices for your food:
Onions, avocados, sweet corn (frozen), pineapples, mangoes, sweet peas (frozen), asparagus, kiwi fruit, cabbages, eggplants, cantaloupes (domestic), watermelons, grapefruits, sweet potatoes and honeydew melons.
If you would like to learn even more, do poke around the EWG's website above, lots of information!

 Further insight to talk with Laura about:
Do you
have chronic right shoulder issues?
In working with Visceral Manipulation, we know that
the liver can be a root cause of right shoulder issues.

Power of Choice
by Amelia Mitchell, LMT
 Herbs, supplements and good food are not economic engines for massive profit like pharmaceuticals are. Drugs are wonderful and life saving. As a culture we have gotten hooked on a quick-fix, give me a pill and make it better. Often it is the smaller, simpler choices that allow us to maintain our health.
Sometimes it is so easy to choose to stop at a restaurant for dinner or drive somewhere that I can walk. I am being conscious of my choices and choose health when ever possible. Last night's dinner is a good example. Having been away all weekend, nothing was planned. I hadn't shopped, and a part of me just wanted to jump in the car and run out to a restaurant. Instead we had baked wild salmon with dill yogurt sauce, salad and brown rice noodles. Because I had enough food in the house to pull together a dinner, this was far healthier, less expensive and easier on the environment than going out.
I was tired. I wanted dinner. I am glad I took the time to cook.
These are small choices, made on a daily basis, to maintain wellness. I also use supplements, and herbs, to enhance health. It is not that I am anti-pharmaceutical. It is simply this, as we all have heard, "prevention is the best medicine."
I wish you all the blessings of a good dinner from whatever is in the freezer or the back of the fridge!

T. B. says: "I am 31 weeks pregnant with twin girls and needed some attention on areas of my body that were really causing me some discomfort. The typical, hands, feet, back and neck.... The massage was very relaxing, and I felt like I was in good hands. Would definitely recommend!!!"
P. S. says: "Amelia has the hands of a healer - as a licensed massage therapist myself and a self-proclaimed "connoisseur" of massage I can say that Amelia can get you feeling better no matter how "out-of-whack" you may be feeling!"
