Institute for Integrative Nutrition (IIN)
In 2003 I was searching for a life and career change; looking to leave behind my 23-year career on Wall Street. I desired a life that I believed in, that would bring about healthy lifestyle changes for me, my family and friends, the people in my world and in the bigger world. I enrolled in IIN and never looked back. The school has graduated 10,000+ students who are changing our world for the better! Care to become part of this growing and life changing family? Happy to have a conversation with you about my experience and the schools' long distance learning program. Irma |

Greetings!
Welcome to my monthly (summer is bi-monthly) Osteoporosis Prevention newsletter; offering suggestions to improve and maintain bone health through calcium and mineral rich organic whole foods, sea veggies, herbal tea infusions, exercise and lifestyle choices.
Calcium supplements: I don't take calcium supplements and haven't for the past 4 years. My organic unprocessed whole foods supply me with the calcium and minerals I need to keep my bones strong. This is my personal choice.
Check out the latest study on calcium (click here for full article) by Ian Reid, Professor of Medicine at the University of Auckland, New Zealand working with colleagues in Britain and the United States conducted a meta-analysis encompassing 11 studies that tracked nearly 12,000 elderly people over four years.
Headline:
Calcium supplements, which many people consume hoping to ward off osteoporosis, may increase the risk of heart attack by as much as 30 percent.
"When you take calcium supplements, your blood calcium level goes up over the following four to six hours and goes up to the top end of the normal range,"
"That doesn't happen when you have calcium to eat in your diet because the calcium from food is very slowly absorbed and so the blood calcium level hardly changes at all."
"What we found was a 30 percent increase in heart attacks in the people who were randomized to take calcium," Reid said.
Eating calcium and minerals through organic whole (unprocessed, non-packaged) foods is at the heart of Food for Healthy Bones.
This month's guest writer is Sharla Cooper, Whole Foods Chef who writes about the magic from the sea (no not the Little Mermaid Princess Ariel) but seaweed. Including seaweed/sea veggies in your food on a weekly basis is just what the bones need.
Your Skelly (skeleton) will thank you!
From My Bones To Yours,

 Sharla Cooper, Whole Food Chef on Seaweed Building strong bones is an important foundation for creating good health and longevity. Looking beyond the land and into the vast ocean we can find a wealth of nutrition and nutrients. Seaweed is the green garden of the oceans and have been used for centuries throughout the world for a source of health and longevity.
Sea vegetables have 10 to 20 times the usable minerals than land vegetables, which makes them an invaluable source of nutrients. Mineral rich foods nourish the blood which creates healthy bones, teeth, nails and hair.
It is known in the East, that hair represents the blood in the body and can greatly be nourished by the long tendrils of sea plants that live in the ocean.
In addition to its impressive mineral rich profile, sea plants are an excellent source of iron, calcium, iodine, protein, amino acids and vitamins. Seaweeds such as  Wakame and Hijiki contain almost ten times the amount of calcium of milk. Even in small amounts, sea vegetables can provide benefits to the body. Eden is a trusted brand read more

A personal note - my trip to Bali
Interesting timing that Elizabeth Gilbert's book Eat, Pray, Love (this youtube has had 777,914 views and growing by the second) will open as a movie on August 13th with Julia Roberts. Have you read the book?
 I loved the book reminiscing how I adoringly ate my way through Italy with my (then) husband, Michael, returned with my darling son, Andrew and continued eating.
Found inner peace and prayed in India traveling with IIN founder, Joshua Rosenthal and my fellow health counselors (who have become my lifelong friends) in 2005 and now.....
.....Love in Bali? Why not?
Ok, Gilbert (fabo interview with Elizabeth) did it in a year and it will have taken me 24 years to complete this journey. Hey, what is the true measure of time?
The idea was birthed when one of my favorite teachers and guiding lights, Paul Pitchford created a 2- week program in Bali (which filled up in a week and now has a waiting list). Bali? How did Paul know I wanted to go to Bali? What could I do
but book it!
Bali here I come for the month of September. 
Paul Pitchford (Paul's article on protein) is the author of the best selling book and bible of acupuncturists, yoga and massage practitioners, and health counselors: Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition and a leading authority in the field of nutrition and foundational healing. Paul is an extraordinarily gifted and spiritual teacher who attracts students from all over the world allowing the learning to be that much more textured, intelligent and totally fun.

VitaMixer  |
Why do I recommend investing in a Vita-Mix?
It's quite simple.
Phytonutrients
Believe it or not: There are 3,850 powerful,
disease-fighting phytonutrients that supplements simply can't give you .
. . but your Vita-Mix machine can! Supplements are a
fragmented food because manufacturers are only able to extract about 150
of these valuable phytonutrients from whole foods. More bad news about
supplements: They can foster an acid pH in your body and an acid pH
actually promotes disease. And we know acid is not good for our bones.
Now for the good news: Whole foods, full of fiber, create an alkaline pH
and they're full of phytonutrients. For example, just one glass of
Vitamix Citrus-Carrot Cocktail contains more than 611 biochemically
complete phytonutrients.
Vita-Mix processing breaks open the cell walls
to release maximum nutrition from whole foods, more than you can get any
other way. Other blenders don't make this claim.
Also this US company has been making Vita-Mix for 85 years. Most restaurants use VitaMix in their kitchens and in their bars for cocktails.
For a price saving, I purchased the reconditioned Vita-Mix which comes with the FULL 7-year warranty. The price is $379.00.
To place an order, please call 1-800-848-2649 ext. 2308. Speak to Sue Harpster and give her my affiliate code: 06-004962 for free shipping.
