Pearls From Skelly

Skelly doing her form of weight bearing exercise - Tai Chi (notice her form, focus and grace). Skelly amazes me!

Afterward Skelly and I were chatting it up about the milk, dairy, calcium myth questioning the standard recipe for strong bones. I've attended several lectures by Annemarie Colbin, Ph.D. who has claimed for years  "WE DON'T NEED MILK FOR STRONG BONES". Really??? Yep, milk is for calves. Cows (ya know those big boned creatures) eat grass they don't drink milk. Bones need whole foods to maintain health and strength.

Only 24 of 86 studies (28%) show that milk, dairy foods, and calcium pills by themselves or in combination prevent fractures according to Building Bone Vitality by Amy Joy Lanou, Ph.D. and Michael Castleman. Interestingly 62 studies (72%) show they do not. The authors share Annemarie's opinion that low acid foods are the answer. Annemarie's emphasis is on whole organic foods which supplies ALL THE NUTRIENTS AND VITAMINS!

Kombucha

Here's a quick, tart and tangy midday alternative to coffee and soda that supports body alkalinity: Organic Raw Kombucha. What is it? Kombucha is a living culture of beneficial microorganisms and is delicately cultured - some liken it to fermentation - for 30 days. I prefer the Multi-Green Kombucha with klamath mountain blue-green algae, spirulina and chlorella. Due to the fermentation, product may contains a trace amount of alcohol (less than 0.5%). The Synergy product adds 5% fruit juice.

Let's go back to the headline of this newsletter...everything you eat becomes your blood, bones, organs, tissues, joints, thoughts and feelings. 

Healthy Bones - it's what you eat not what you take!

Raw Sauerkraut
I love their biodynamic/organic produce, dense rye breads, sauerkraut (raw and unpasteurized lacto-fermented vegetables that are made traditionally).  My weekly visit to their stand each Saturday at the Union Square Market in NYC makes me and Skelly very happy.

Community Supported Agriculture - known as CSAs, whereby
consumers commit to buying a particular producer's foods for a season or ongoing. Once popular mainly for vegetables, CSAs now exist for meat and even for fish. Please support your local farmers through joining a CSA.  You can learn more and do a state search at http://www.localharvest.org/csa/ to find a CSA in your area.
