Continuing our Wellness Journey - The Playing and Working Dimension
 This week our journey focuses on the power of Playing and Working, the 8th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. Most of our daily life falls under one of these two categories. For us adults, the majority of time is usually spent focused on work with far too little time allowed for play. What passes for play for most adults is more likely to be escape activities-- distraction from the responsibilities of work. Many people turn to the entertainment industry instead of engaging in the joyful, creative, spontaneous play that is vital to our wellbeing. View more

From Fatigued to Fantastic - "Inflammation - Natural Therapies" - Jacob Teitelbaum, MD
Inflammation is your body's response to what it perceives to be an outside invader or irritant. When caused by infections, the inflammation can sometimes be rather obvious as occurs with pneumonia. Other times, it can be very subtle. If you have excess inflammation, your body can often repair the damage over time, according to Jacob Teitelbaum, MD in "Inflammation - Natural Therapies". This means decreasing sugar and simple carbohydrates (keep chocolate but make it sugar free), increasing protein and healthy oils (e.g. fish, olive, nuts), and getting optimal nutritional support.

The Nut Gourmet - "Sesame Nut Patties" - Zell Allen
The trio of cashews, pistachios, and walnuts in this recipe offers triple benefits to all-delicious dining, easy preparation, and a natural health remedy. Numerous studies conducted over the last 25 years have confirmed the ability of nuts to naturally lower LDL and total cholesterol. When study participants substituted some of the fats in their diets with nuts, their results were even better. Nuts are high in mostly monounsaturated fats that help to reduce cholesterol in those with elevated numbers.

| SPONSOR- TEECCINO HERBAL COFFEE |
 Kick the Caffeine Habit This Year - Destress with Teeccino Caffeine Free Herbal Coffee
Coffee drinkers may be surprised to learn that herbal coffee actually has nutritional benefits which help nourish and keep the body healthy. Coffee, on the other hand, only supplies the drug, caffeine, which stimulates your adrenal glands but does not provide energy - actually it could deplete the body's energy reserves. Teeccino, the first herbal coffee on the market, is a blend of herbs, grains, fruits and nuts that are roasted, ground and brewed just like coffee. Dark, rich, and full-bodied, Teeccino brings you all the satisfaction of a robust brew with no caffeine reaction. Teeccino tastes mildly sweet from dates and figs, with only 15 calories per cup.
