The Health Benefits of Essential Fats By Nelson Narciso B.Sc., R.P.
The quality of the fats we consume has become a commonly discussed topic, and many people are now recognizing that they are not created equal. Omega-6 and omega-3, the Essential Fatty Acids (EFA’s), have a profound impact on our health and well being. The benefits of EFA’s include, but are not limited to, increased metabolism and energy levels, optimal hormone production, well lubricated joints, proper brain, retina, adrenal and heart function, reduced allergy symptoms, lowered cholesterol and blood pressure, and the alleviation of migraine headaches.  Studies have also shown EFA’s to be important in less obvious ways.....

Email to specially to OKinHealth from the David Suzuki Foundation. Compact fluorescent bulbs contain trace amounts of mercury! In terms of the environmental effectiveness of using these bulbs, the big consideration is that by using these bulbs, consumers are greatly reducing their need for electricity in general. ......

Diabetes, Insulin Resistance, and Elevated blood glucose
by Dr. Tamara Browne - Penticton Naturopathic Doctor.
Disorders of blood glucose are reaching epic proportions and account for a great number of chronic degenerative diseases such as Diabetes, heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, cataracts, retinopathy, and neuropathy. Diabetes is very much a disease of modern western civilization. Ninety percent of cases are non-insulin dependent or type II Diabetes which is caused by poor diet and lifestyle choices. Diabetes is relatively uncommon in undeveloped areas of the world.  Many diabetics are overweight indicating that high blood glucose levels hinder weight loss and encourage weight gain. Elevated blood glucose is toxic to organs, especially the heart, kidney, and eyes. Pre-diabetes, also known as Insulin Resistance, is a wake-up call that will progress to Diabetes if not caught and treated early......

The Story of Stuff ? Review by Maria Carr
We live in a world where we just consume without thinking about the consequences. From its extraction through sale, use and disposal, all the stuff in our lives affects communities at home and abroad, yet most of this is hidden from view. The Story of Stuff is a free 20-minute, fast-paced, fact-filled look at the underside of our production and consumption patterns. The Story of Stuff exposes the connections between a huge number of environmental and social issues, and calls us together to create a more sustainable and just world. It'll teach you something, it'll make you laugh, and it just may change the way you look at all the stuff in your life forever .............. so gathering the kids and friends around the computer and enjoy on line free video......[Read More]

Feng Shui is the study of qi/chi – energies in our environment, which is specific to every space, relative to the time when the building was constructed, and to the people who are living or working within that space.

Concerns about Bisphenol A?

In December, Vancouver-based Mountain Equipment Co-op became the first major Canadian retailer to pull polycarbonate containers from its store shelves.
The buzz on bisphenol A — the controversial chemical used to make many hard plastic toys, our Water bottles, Baby bottles, and food containers — is proving perplexing for many consumers and retailers. As the ever-growing debate about the potential health effects of BPA rages on, consumers are left puzzled as to whether they should keep or clear their cupboards of polycarbonate products..

This months - Thoughtful Message from a member!
I was so inspired by Linda`s words, that i wanted to share them with our members. Such a simple but loving message - that is worth sharing with us all and add to our lives!.
"This is a good time to really stop & think about all the people in your life that are important to you. I’m not talking about just your close friends & family, but people you may see daily, weekly or maybe only a few times a year. Think of people that help & serve you or even the ones that you serve. How about people you see regularly on the bus, at the fitness center, golfing. Let them know that they are important in your life with a kind word, a candy or a flower. From Linda" Linda owns the Dare to Dream, Kelowna

Ideas to add your Flax oil or EFA oil into your diet.

Shakes and smoothies: It's especially nice to add it to your smoothies.
Hot cereals: Add oil to slightly cooled cereal.
Vegetables: Use as you would 'butter.' Pour a small amount over raw or cooked-and-cooled veggies; stir to coat. If the flavor is too strong, use less and combine with vegan spread or seasonings.
Fruits: Purees such as applesauce can get the flaxseed oil treatment. Fruits served with yogurt can be lightly coated in oil. Some kids will happily dip apple slices in the oil.
Juices: Add appropriate amount to your child's favorite juice - it's unlikely they'll notice. If they do, cut back on the amount.
Sauces, dressings and dips: Add oil once the sauce has cooled to serving temperature. Add to salad dressings (your favorite brand, or make your own). Works well in gravies, tomato sauce, pesto, veggie dips, hummus, ketchup.
