Half game

Log for Monday:

Breakfast: coffee, toasted bagel, Babybel

Snack; second coffee

Lunch: pizza

Treat: homemade ice tea

Dinner: poutine, rye and Coke

Treat: big glass of milk.

Comment: I’ll take homemade ice tea over store bought any day. And making it is too easy and cheap to buy it premade anyways. I resisted ordering in, because it’s so hard to find offering that are acceptable to the challenge, especially when all the meat options are being shoved in your face, in about 90% of pictures advertising on delivery apps. I broke down, because I found out that on some services, you can request substitutions if the options are available; it’s just that they don’t really want to have too cluttered a menu, and so they offer omnivore OR vegan, with nothing in between. However, you can order a regular poutine because cheese is fine, but switch the sauce for the vegan one.

So that’s a thing.

Note: I’ve passed the halfway point, and some observations are in order. For one thing, without any change in my activities, my lower abdomen is feeling tighter, so the challenge is having an impact that wasn’t planned, but is a nice bonus. I still need to balance out my nutrient/vitamin intake, so that I don’t end up with unexpected deficiencies.

So to that end, I’ve determined that I need to vary my food sources, and allow the experiment’s impact to continue past the 30 days end point. Enter the 10% diet.

I’m not telling anyone what to do, it’s completely a thing for me. What I’m going to do is limit my animal flesh intake to 10% of my meals. Now, at 21 meals a week, that makes it two meals per week with meat, with some spare for flexibility. Going straight from a meat heavy omnivore diet to a meat-less diet for a limited time has it’s challenges, like the availability of non-meat options, and the cravings. Having some room to maneuver allows the cravings to be managed, and it feels less like failing if you end up having burger juice running down your chin because you just couldn’t handle it anymore.

I am very good at handling meat in nearly all methods (just don’t ask me to grill stuff, that’s my blind spot) but it’s become something of a crutch, and easy fallback for when I can’t think of what to eat, and it’s really easy to just have meat and sides (especially just starches like fries) which is good for the protein intake, but less so for the overall vitamin spectrum.

How long can I maintain the 10% diet? I don’t know, I haven’t started it yet, but keeping a log of what I eat helps me, because it keeps me accountable, even if no one reads it, it’s out there, it’s public, it’s accountability.

At least I drink more water. So stay hydrated, kids!

Berlin was so cool, and so MUCH that I don't know where to start writing about it, but it's getting farther and farther behind, so I'll just start with food. Everyone likes food, right?

This place is vegan paradise. Surprising, right? But true. There were so, so many purely vegan restaurants. The non-vegan ones almost all had prominent signage to let you know that they had vegan items. And, um, meat is “fleish”- literally “flesh”. Ground meat is hackfleish, hacked up flesh, while pulled meat is “rindfleish”. This is endlessly funny to me.

We had dinner with a friend from Seattle while we were in Berlin, and in trying to figure out where to meet, she said "There are no German restaurants here!" Which, ok, by definition they're all German, but it seems like none of them serve German cuisine as a specialty. There is a huge variety of cuisines available, Indian and Sushi being ones I remember to be very common. However, this is really the country where Doner Kebab is king. We've seen Doner Kebab everywhere on this trip, it's definitely THE fast food choice in towns we've visited. But in Germany, it was as common as coffeeshops in Seattle. So, what is it? In the US, we'd call it middle eastern food, shawarma or gyro. The core offering is a protein (usually meat shaved very thin off a huge rotating skewer), tzaziki sauce, and salad in a pita or flatbread wrap, with fries on the side. Some places we've seen also offer pizza. In Germany, the salad was often augmented with a couple kinds of sauerkraut. The protein options always include chicken and a lamb/beef blend from the skewers, but also might include falafal, halumi, or seitan. It's freaking delicious and dirt cheap ($5 for a wrap that's a meal), and fast. I've eaten a lot of it. Halumi is my favorite protein, unsurprisingly.

While there weren't restaurants that advertised "German food", the bakeries and attached cafes offered what I think was the most traditional German cuisine. And waffles! I think waffles might be the national food. I went on a junk food run to the hippie grocery store and came back with three varieties of packaged waffles, from a selection of probably twenty. SO MANY WAFFLES. The food cliche that is true about Germany is gummies. They really must eat a lot of them, considering how many were on offer in grocery stores. The photo above is of a wall of Haribo. It was adjoined by an equally sized wall of gummies of other brands.

We were in Germany from Dec 19 - 31, prime holiday season time. Bars were offering all sorts of seasonal hot drinks, and I got into the spirit. News flash: mulled wine is good? Every Christmas Market offered a variety (Gluhwein in Germany, Vin Chaud in France) and it was great, like hot sangria. A startling difference between Germany and the US was how many bars and restaurants had open flames: lovely candles, as centerpieces or just alone, not in glass jars, on tabletops. And the tables are very close together. And I am fat. It was kind of harrowing, to be honest. But also charming and cozy, when sunset was at 3:55pm.

Dragon Fruit Smoothie (that everyone loves!)

This Dragon Fruit Smoothie is jam-packed with antioxidants, and is incredibly easy to make. I love how vibrant the color is, especially since it makes my kids want to drink it, too!

Dragon Fruit Benenfits

Dragon fruit, also known as pitaya, comes in two varieties– one with white flesh, and one with a bright magenta-colored flesh. The magenta flesh is sweeter than the white version, and it also has a little more nutrition, so that’s what I’m using in this smoothie recipe.

Here’s what else I love about dragon fruit:

It’s rich in fiber, which may help to prevent against heart disease (source)

Fruit, in general, has been shown to aid in weight loss efforts despite its natural sugar content (source)

It’s loaded with antioxidants, like vitamin C and carotenoids, which have been linked to reduced risk of cancer and heart disease (source)

Dragon fruit contains prebiotics, which may promote a healthy gut (source)

It may help boost your iron levels. One cup of dragon fruit has 8% of your daily iron needs, and it also contains vitamin C, which is thought to help boost iron absorption. (source)

Dragon fruit has more magnesium than most other fruits, which is an important mineral that promotes bone health and food metabolism. (source)

The vitamin C in Dragon Fruit may help to boost your immune system (source)

How to Eat Dragon Fruit

Dragon fruit is available fresh or frozen at grocery stores, and it’s similar to an avocado in the sense that you cut it in half, and then scoop out the flesh inside to eat. You can eat it on its own, add it to salads, or smoothies like this one. If you can find fresh dragon fruit, feel free to cut it into chunks and freeze those in an airtight container for this smoothie. The freezer packs I’ve found are 100g each, or just over 1/2 cup of puree.

If you’re like me and can only find frozen dragon fruit at the moment, there are convenient freezer packs available of dragon fruit puree. (That should be the only ingredient on the label!) I’m using Pitaya Plus brand in this recipe, because that’s what is available at my local store, but any similar freezer packs would work! I like to run the packs under my faucet for a moment to loosen them up, then I cut the bag in half to easily squeeze them into my blender.

Dragon Fruit Smoothie

I’ve been making this dragon fruit smoothie on a near daily-basis lately, even when it’s cold outside! The trick for me to enjoy a cold smoothie in the winter is adding a little bit of fresh ginger to the mix.

Ginger warms you up from the inside, and adds an amazing depth of flavor to this smoothie combination. Even my kids love it! If you’re leery of ginger, start with a very small piece, as a little can go a long way.

This DRAGON FRUIT SMOOTHIE is loaded with vitamin C and antioxidants, and is a great way to start your day. I love that this recipe is dairy-free and packed with filling fiber.

Keyword: dragon fruit, smoothie, vegan

1/2 cup water

1/2 cup orange juice (freshly squeezed, if possible)

1 banana , frozen (peel before freezing!)

1 100g packet of frozen dragon fruit (about 1/2 cup frozen puree)

1/2 cup frozen wild blueberries

1/2-inch piece of fresh ginger (or to taste)

1 large handful fresh baby spinach (optional; this will affect color)

In a high-speed blender, add the water, OJ, banana, dragon fruit, blueberries, ginger, and spinach, if using. Blend until very smooth, then serve right away.

For the whole batch: Calories: 263, Fat: 0g, Carbohydrates: 63g, Fiber: 7g, Protein: 3g

Recipe Notes:

You can leave out the orange juice and just use more water, if you prefer a less-sweet smoothie. I like the added sweet & tart flavor from the juice, so you could add a small squeeze of lemon or lime juice as an alternative.

As always, you can modify this smoothie to your needs. You can add hemp hearts for protein, or a spoonful of almond butter for some added fat and fiber.

I used banana to sweeten this smoothie, and keep in mind that I don’t like the flavor of banana in smoothies. With the other ingredients, you can’t really taste it in this case. However, you could also use 2-3 Medjool dates for a similar sweetness if you want to leave out the banana.

What’s The Difference Between All The Milk Alternatives?

There are many different varieties of milk products, with base ingredients ranging from dairy to nuts to grains.

Milk wasn’t ever mass-produced from this stuff in the past, so with so many options it can be difficult to know which milk alternative to choose.

There are lots of factors to consider when making your decision, including nutritional content and sustainability.

Some milk alternatives offer benefits for your gastrointestinal system, while some offer little nutrition but are generally well tolerated in those with food allergies.

If you’re looking for better digestive health solutions, look no further — we’re going to break down each milk alternative and help you decide which is best for you and your body.

1. Cow Milk

So this isn’t a milk alternative, obviously – but it’s still worth looking at.

With cow’s milk, you have many different options including skim/fat-free, 1 percent, 2 percent, and homo milk.

There are also varieties of lactose free cow’s milk, which has been processed to break down lactose sugars, since lactose intolerance is fairly common.

Advantages

Although whole milk is the highest in calories, it’s ultimately a healthier choice than the low-fat alternatives.

Whole milk retains its natural components and is rich in calcium, proteins, and healthy fats.

Skim milk also offers these benefits, but the lack of fat hinders the absorption of these vitamins.

Typically, cow’s milk is fortified with various vitamins and minerals such as vitamin D and vitamin A.

Another advantage of cow’s milk is it is widely accessible, as it’s an affordable choice and usually found in basically any grocery store across Canada.

Disadvantages

Despite the benefits of whole milk’s healthy fats, it also contains saturated fats and is high in calories.

Plus, lactose is one of the most common food allergens.

Some individuals who are not allergic to dairy may experience a slight intolerance or sensitivity.

The ethics of dairy farming are also an issue for some, with vegan lifestyles becoming more and more popular.

Dairy farms also produce high amounts of greenhouse gas emissions and consume more land than milk alternatives.

If you enjoy consuming cow’s milk but want to avoid the environmental deficit of factory farms, consider sourcing your dairy products from a local farm.

2. Almond Milk

Almond milk is one of the most popular nut milks, and it can usually be found in larger supermarkets.

It’s made from ground almonds and filtered water, with sweetened and unsweetened varieties.

Advantages

If you’re looking for a lower calorie option, almond milk may be a good choice for you.

Compared to whole milk’s 150 calories per cup, unsweetened almond milk contains 30-60 calories depending on the brand.

Almond milk contains no saturated fats, which is good news for your cholesterol levels.

Like other nut milks, it’s completely vegan and naturally without lactose.

Disadvantages

Despite the nutritional content of the nut itself, almond milk lacks calcium and protein.

It also may contain carrageenan, a common additive used to thicken and emulsify certain foods and beverages.

In some people, carrageenan is known to cause digestive issues and inflammation.

In fact, this 2019 study suggests that carrageenan might be the cause for allergic reactions to a number of different food products, including milk alternatives.

On another topic, when it comes to the environment, almond milk may not be the most conscientious option.

A report by the University of California San Francisco outlines the key issues with almond farming, which include how water-intense the crop is.

In fact, it takes more than a gallon of water to produce just a single almond – this is far more than any other milk alternative.

Bees are also a necessary part of almond cultivation, which puts stress on beekeepers and negatively affects bee populations.

3. Soy Milk

One of the most widely available milk alternatives, soy milk is made from soybeans and water.

Keep reading to learn more about the pros and cons of this popular milk product.

Advantages

Soy milk is naturally low in saturated fat and contains no cholesterol.

Instead, it’s a great source of protein and potassium.

Many varieties of soy milk are fortified with calcium or probiotics, which are beneficial for your overall health especially if you have high blood pressure.

If you’re mindful of the environment, soy milk is regarded to be one of the more sustainable milk products – the crop grows just about anywhere, and doesn’t take as much water.

Disadvantages

Soy is a relatively common allergen, so if you’re allergic to this ingredient you should avoid soy-based milk alternatives.

It can be a problematic ingredient for some due to how it acts like a natural estrogen.

Although they may have a positive effect on menopause symptoms, soy-based foods may cause fertility issues and lower sperm counts.

People with thyroid conditions may want to avoid soy milk for this reason.

However, you’d most likely have to consume massive amounts of soy products for it to have an effect on your hormones.

If you’re concerned about these potential effects, talk to your naturopathic doctor or other health practitioner for more information.

4. Rice Milk

Like other plant-based milks, rice milk is made from milled rice and water.

It’s naturally thinner in consistency and relatively sweet.

Advantages

Milk, soy, and nuts are among the most common allergens in food, which is why rice milk is a great alternative for those wanting to avoid a reaction.

Rice milk is also naturally sweeter than other milks, which eliminates the need for sweetening agents.

Disadvantages

Rice milk is higher in carbohydrates than most other milk alternatives.

Unlike other milks, rice milk is rarely fortified with vitamins and minerals and contains little protein.

Like the grain from which it’s made, rice milk contains notable levels of inorganic arsenic.

For this reason, it’s a good idea to not rely solely on rice products, especially for children and pregnant people.

Like almonds, rice production also requires large amounts of water, which causes an environmental strain.

5. Hazelnut Milk

One of the less well-known milk alternatives, hazelnut milk is rising in popularity due to its nutrition and flavour.

Next time you’re at the grocery store, consider keeping an eye out for this tasty and nutritious option.

Advantages

Like other nuts, hazelnut trees extract carbon from the atmosphere, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

In fact, hazelnut farming is considered to be carbon-negative – according to this 2015 report from the University of Guelph, hazelnut orchards can play an important role in fighting climate change.

However, unlike almonds, hazelnuts are pollinated by the wind instead of bees.

Hazelnuts are high in vitamin E, omega-3 fatty acids, and folic acid, which are all beneficial for your health.

Disadvantages

Hazelnuts are mostly harvested by hand, and worker exploitation can be common in this industry.

They are also relatively high in fat, which is both good and bad — healthy fats are great, while saturated fats may have adverse consequences for your heart.

6. Coconut Milk

This tropical milk is made from water and coconut cream, the latter of which is made from grated coconut flesh.

Despite the name, the coconut is not a nut — so this milk is safe to drink if you have a nut allergy.

There are different kinds of coconut milk that serve different purposes.

Cans of coconut milk are thicker and used for cooking, while coconut milk beverage is thinner and more diluted.

Advantages

Coconut milk is high in fats, specifically medium-chain triglycerides.

These fatty acids, also known as MCTs, offer potential health benefits including weight loss and the increase of energy levels.

Coconut milk is not naturally high in calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin A, but it can be fortified to be a more nutritious option.

Disadvantages

Although some fats are good for you, coconut milk is also high in saturated fats, which may not be the most heart-conscious choice.

Coconut milk is also not a good source of protein and often contains carrageenan.

The global demand of coconut milk contributes to this product being a less sustainable and ethical choice as well

Worker exploitation and climate destruction are important factors in the mass production of this milk alternative.

Because coconuts don’t grow anywhere near Canada, they need to be shipped from far away, contributing to greenhouse emissions.

7. Oat Milk

Oat milk is an exciting new milk alternative that shows great potential for growth due to its forecasted lack of environmental consequences.

It’s creamy and offers a neutral sweet flavour, even when unsweetened.

Advantages

Even with its rapidly rising popularity, experts doubt oat milk will have any substantial environmental impact.

Oats are grown in Canada and northern USA’s cool climates, and are not associated with mass deforestation.

On top of that, because they’re grown so close, it takes quite a bit less fossil fuel to ship it to your local grocer.

Disadvantages

During production, oats are usually sprayed down with pesticides.

From organic to conventionally grown oats, the active ingredient in these pesticides — glyphosate, a possible carcinogen — was found in at least one third of these products.

Some brands, however, advertise their products as certified glyphosate free – keep an eye out for them.

When it comes to nutrition, oat milk is often high in preservatives and additives.

Make sure you read the label when purchasing any milk alternative, including oat milk.

What’s The Best Option For You?

Whether you’re looking for a milk product that avoids an allergy, offers the most nutritional content, or takes less of a toll on the environment — there are many milk alternatives to choose from.

When making a decision that may impact your health, it’s best to do so with consultation from a health practitioner.

28 Unexpectedly Awesome Things To Do In Seattle

New Post has been published on https://kidsviral.info/28-unexpectedly-awesome-things-to-do-in-seattle/

28 Unexpectedly Awesome Things To Do In Seattle

Seattle is a melting pot of culture, rain, and coffee.

1. See a majestic sunrise at Smith Tower.

The Space Needle is for suckers. Any true Seattleite knows that the Smith Tower — a local best-kept secret — has an equally amazing view of downtown Seattle.

2. Feast on corn dogs and strong drinks at Unicorn Bar.

View this image ›

flic.kr / Via Lara604

Tucked away on Capitol Hill is a carnival-themed dive where you can drink to your heart’s content, eat deep-fried Snickers bars, and prance around in a unicorn helmet.

3. Have coffee like a true Seattleite at Cafe Allegro.

View this image ›

VideoIgniter / Via videoigniter.com

With a coffee shop around every corner, an Americano is always at your fingers — but Cafe Allegro, Seattle’s first coffee shop, has one of the best. (Other worthy contenders? Cafe Lladro, Milstead, and Stumptown.)

4. Brunch like there’s no tomorrow at the Portage Bay Cafe.

View this image ›

Jessica Spengler / Via flic.kr

This Seattle brunch haven is known for its organic ingredients and delicious American fare. Line too long? Just skip to the front — you’ll (probably) only be met with a grimace and a healthy dose of passive aggressiveness.

5. Become one with nature at The Seattle Arboretum.

View this image ›

Rachel Sarai / Via flic.kr

Birkenstocks optional.

6. Set sail (for free!) at The Center For Wooden Boats.

View this image ›

Flickr: stefan_d-w / Via Hammerin Man

Every Sunday for the past 25 years, volunteer skippers and crew take Seattleites out on the water gratis — on spirit boats, schooners, and even the occasional yacht.

7. Pair frites with frosty brews at Brouwer’s CafÃ©.

View this image ›

flic.kr / Via Bernt Rostad

Two words of warning, though: 1) You will most definitely become addicted to Brouwer’s Café’s dragon sauce. 2) For each Rainier or Coors Light you fail to drink, a hipster loses his mustache.

8. Party like you’re from The 206 at Rock Box.

View this image ›

rockboxseattle.com

Karaoke until closing time? Check.

9. Eat organic at Local 360.

View this image ›

Tom Ipri / Via flic.kr

All of the items on Local 360’s menu are all sourced from within 360 miles of its location. Also on hand? One of the best burgers in Belltown.

10. Have an outdoor adventure at Discovery Park.

View this image ›

seattle.gov / Via Loree Wagner Communications

Walk the coast, sit in the grass, and pitch a bonfire on a warm summer day. Parched from your nature quest? Stop into Oliver’s Twist in Magnolia for cocktails like The Bumble — with bourbon, lemon, and creme de peche.

11. Rent a canoe at The WAC.

Vegetarian

Complete plant-based food plan that excludes beef, eggs, milk products and all the animal-derived ingredients. A vegetarian diet can be safe for kids, and it's really probably best for them. Just be sure kids get enough extra fat to meet their needs. Nuts, peanut butter, avocado, dairy food, and eggs are all good options. When in question, ask your child's doctor or a dietitian. There may be no purity whilst the flesh of animals is partaken of and inhumanity on the creatures practised. This may echo the actual fact that meat eaters will have a more healthy, well-balanced diet, or simply the vegetarians have become less healthy, with an increase of soy-based, high-sugar and processed foods. It also discusses how they impact your health and the surroundings. Dr. Oz observed that 3.7 million Americans now eat a vegan diet, which the approach to life has more than doubled in popularity lately: we all probably know someone who's vegan,” he mentioned on his show on Thursday. amazing fiber-rich foods you should eat need water to aid them in the job they have to do. Two-three spectacles a day is NOT going to trim it for you. The range of your drinking water consumption should be 6-12 (8 ounce) eyeglasses per day. Aim for the lower range if you take in lots of water-rich fruits and veggies and smoothies, and the bigger range unless you. Don't let the word vegan” on the snack or pack of iced meat” fool you. Vegan bars and processed proteins are loaded with additives, processed sugars, extra fat, sodium, and energy. For example, a small bowl of iced vegan chili has 80 more calories from fat and 30 more grams of carbohydrates than a little plate of chili from Wendy's. Just because the word vegan is on something doesn't signify it's calorie-free,” Dr. Applegate says. It is not a prescription for skinniness.” Processed foods are still processed food items, vegan or not. Omega-3 essential fatty acids. Diets including no fish or eggs are low in EPA and DHA. Our bodies can convert ALA in herb foods to EPA and DHA, but not very successfully. Vegans can get DHA from algae supplements, which increase bloodstream degrees of DHA as well as EPA (by an activity called retroversion). DHA-fortified breakfast time pubs and soy dairy are also available. Standard dietary recommendations recommend 1.10 grams each day of ALA for girls, but vegetarians who take in little or no EPA and DHA should probably get more than that. Good ALA sources include flaxseed, walnuts, canola oil, and soy.

Improving Your Own Health and Wellness While Saving the World

Having worked on several public health projects and in several human services settings, I have a strong concern for the health and wellness of others. The overlaps I’ve recognized between individual health, environment, global discord, and social justice have led me to make some major changes in my own life.

If our work involves helping others and improving the world, it’s particularly important that we manage our own health and wellness. Fortunately, there are several ways we can do both simultaneously! In fact, many habits that benefit our health or the environment also have personal financial benefits (Blix & Heitmiller, 1997).

Uncontrollable factors like genetics and injuries aside, we generally stand a greater chance of living a long and productive life if we proactively maintain our own health. This gives us more time to pursue our visions in the world, share our gifts with others, and leave a lasting legacy.

However, we sometimes neglect ourselves while saving the world. In settings where the focus is upon helping others, I have seen and heard numerous examples of people who don’t give themselves the care they deserve.

Upon returning from a trip to assess public health needs of tsunami victims, a colleague told me of the signs of stress exhibited by many of the professional aid workers. Many of them, he observed, appeared highly anxious and engaged in behaviors like smoking at very high levels. The trauma surrounding them was taking a toll. Likewise, I have noted many visibly unhealthy professionals (including medical doctors) in health and human services settings where poor health was also a common issue among clients.

So what can we do to take better care of ourselves while also saving the world? Outside of addressing obvious factors like overextended workweeks in high-stress settings, there are a number of possibilities.

First, we may generate health-related benefits for ourselves simply by giving generously to others in our own unique way. This doesn’t need to be money; it can include expressing gratitude for someone’s friendship, sharing an artistic talent, or even lending a listening ear. Outside of fulfilling us and making us happy, giving can actually improve our health and longevity. Post and Neimark (2007) cite studies suggesting the following:

-Giving as a high school student predicts good physical and mental health up to 50 years later, into late adulthood. -Giving and helping others reduces mortality in older adults, and depression and suicide risk in adolescents. -Giving is more powerful than receiving in reducing mortality.

These powerful impacts, note Post and Neimark, may occur through a variety of mechanisms. Giving increases our feelings of self-efficacy, allows us to forget about the stressors in our own lives, enables us to forgive ourselves for our own mistakes, and enhances our sense of being part of a supportive larger community.

Secondly, we can assess where we are in different health-related areas of our life, and take actions in each. In his holistic wellness model as cited by Michael Arloski (2007), Don Ardell suggests that we need to take personal responsibility for our choices in several dimensions of life:

-stress management -physical fitness -nutritional awareness -sensitivity to our physical, social and personal environments

I’ll outline a few ideas that blend the above dimensions while connecting personal and collective health and wellness.

As for stress management and physical fitness, think beyond traditional “exercise” like going to the gym if you find it difficult to motivate yourself. Arloski suggests viewing exercise as “movement.” To do this in a way that benefits both yourself and the world, consider your modes of transportation throughout the day.

For example, rather than getting in the car, can you walk or ride a bicycle? Rather than taking an elevator, can you use the stairs? These options give you a workout, save energy, and minimize pollution. Additionally, they can reduce stress, as “pedestrian rage” is much less common than “road rage.” They also have social benefits, given that it’s difficult to talk to a friend as they’re speeding by in their car, but relatively easy if you bump into each other on the sidewalk.

Perhaps you live in an area that has few or no sidewalks, no safe places to ride a bicycle, and no amenities within walking distance. In such cases, you may wish to look at how your choice of living location impacts health and well-being on both a personal and community level. Does your location support your values and priorities? If not, what would your ideal setting look like, and what steps would it take to attain that?

Also consider the energy efficiency of your home, and take steps such as insulating and utilizing low-energy lighting and appliances. Are you heating a house that’s much larger than you need? Fewer costs require less time at work to pay the bills, which contributes to life balance and well-being. These considerations also benefit others’ health in that energy savings often decrease air pollution (e.g., mercury) from coal-fired power plants.

Next, consider your diet. This has not only personal nutrition implications, but extensive environmental, economic and public health implications. What do you choose to put directly into your body every day, and does it support the self and world you envision? Food production and distribution requires energy and resources that affect the world in various ways.

Learn where your food is grown–the further it is shipped, the more energy it utilizes, which contributes to greenhouse gases. According to the “100 Mile Diet” project, our food ingredients travel an average of 1,500 miles. It’s a bit more challenging to eat produce in season year-round in colder climates, but making an effort to eat as locally as possible can have sizeable benefits. Support your local farmers and grocers carrying their goods.

Also related to diet, consider organic foods when possible, as pesticides can have unintended and unpredictable impacts upon your health and the environment. As more people demand such products, they will continue to become more available and more affordable. If you have some spare time and a little space in your yard, consider planting a garden. Then you’ll know what’s going into your food and where it comes from, and you’ll get some exercise, too!

You may also wish to explore the personal and environmental benefits associated with reductions in animal protein consumption. There is a sizeable well-documented (but not yet well-publicized) body of public health research on the risks of consuming animal-produced proteins, particularly meat and dairy, as well as literature on the “protein myths” that continue to circulate. Other important factors include consumption of whole foods (i.e., as they occur in nature) and dark leafy greens, but the animal protein factor alone is a significant one (Campbell & Campbell, 2006; Eisman, 2006; Robbins, 2006).

Additionally, it takes many times more energy, food and water to produce animal flesh than it does to produce plant-based food with the equivalent energy and nutritional value. By some estimates, it takes five pounds of grain and 2,500 gallons of water to produce each pound of beef (Kostigen & Rogers, 2007). Imagine how many additional people could be fed by taking out the “middleman”–or “middlecow.”

Concentrated animal farming also takes a toll on both individual health and the environment. Five tons of animal manure are produced every year per every individual in the U.S. (Greger, 2006). Waste water and runoff, which often includes hormones and other chemicals, pollutes local water sources. Not all chemicals can be filtered out by drinking water treatment, and their impacts upon humans are still being discovered.

When large numbers of animals and humans are frequently in unnaturally close quarters to one another, it creates additional opportunity for diseases (e.g., avian flu) to mutate and jump species (Greger, 2006). Additionally, when forests are cleared to support animal production (e.g., growth of food crops), it increases breeding areas for disease-transmitting insects like mosquitoes (Greger, 2006), and destroys larger pollution-absorbing vegetation.

Maintaining personal health and wellness takes a certain degree of time and commitment, as does improving the world. However, it doesn’t always have to be an “either/or” dilemma. Depending upon our own values and priorities, there are a number of ways in which we can integrate our efforts on both fronts and maximize our positive impact. I invite you to conduct your own research on these areas, and to create a life that works for you!
