How to protest Senate Bill 510
How to protest Senate Bill 510
1) Go to Congress.org and type in your zip code in the box in the upper right hand corner
2) Click on your Senator's name, and then on the contact tab for their phone number. You can also call the Capitol Switchboard and ask to be directly connected to your Senator's office: 202-224-3121.
3) Once connected ask to speak to the legislative staff person responsible for agriculture. If they are unavailable leave a voice mail message. Be sure to include your name and phone number.
Give them this message in support of the "Tester Amendment" which would exempt small farms from S.510:
"I am a constituent of Senator___________. I ask that he/she support the Tester Amendment to the food safety bill. The Tester Amendment will exempt the safest, small, owner-operator farms and food facilities and farmers who direct market their products to consumers, stores or restaurants. Food safety legislation should not create inappropriate and costly regulatory barriers to family farms and the growing healthy food movement in the drive to crack down on corporate bad actors. Please support the Tester Amendment and market opportunities for small and mid-sized family farms, and small food processing facilities."
You may also wish to explain that you oppose the Food Safety Modernization Act in its entirety, and it is a destructive, freedom-crushing law that will destroy the future of food in America.
Remember, America has already lost control over its money supply to the Federal Reserve (nearly a hundred years ago). America has lost its health due to the medical industry and its profit-from-sickness agenda. Now we may lose our right to grow our own food and save our own seeds if Senate Bill 510 passes.
This is a dangerous, tyrannical law that would thrust the American people into an age of darkness and malnutrition. It would criminalize many of the very people growing our food and turn food production into yet another corporate monopoly.
Please take the time right now to contact your U.S. Senator and voice your strong opposition to this bill.

Great Scale!!!
Tanita makes GREAT scales and Amazon can have one at your door that shows weight, body fat and hydration.
It is what I use here with my clients.
http://www.amazon.com/Tanita-BF680W-Scale-Monitor-Athletic/dp/B0009V1YPU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1287002875&sr=8-1
I like this model and it is over $50 off right now!
Sometimes weight can be tricky so remember if you are exercising and dropping body fat however not weight it means = anti aging! Repair is going on so more muscle is being build = your body burns more calories each and every moment of the day...Gotta love that!

Kitchen Skills!
Pitting an Olive
1) Place the olive on a cutting board and firmly press down on it with the side of a chef's knife (face the blade away from you). If the olive doesn't immediately split apart, use the knife to apply a gentle rocking motion, rolling the olive back and forth once or twice on the cutting board until the olive breaks open and the pit is revealed.
2) Pull out the pit. Chop or slice as needed.
Making Fluffy Rice
This dinnertime staple - whether it's Jasmine, Basmati, or good ole' long-grain white - can be challenging to get right. To remove the excess starch that can cause stickiness and clumping, rinse uncooked rice in a sieve or a mesh colander until the water runs clear. Behold: separate (and delicious) grains every time.
Achieving a Perfect Sear on Meat
1) 30 minutes before you plan to cook, take the meat out of the refrigerator so it can come to room temperature. Then pat it dry with a paper towel. Don't rinse it or you'll risk spreading bacteria from the raw juices into your sink.
2) Get your skillet good and hot - a drop of water should sizzle on the surface. Avoid nonstick pans, which don't brown adequately. Add a splash of avocado oil. Season the meat just before adding it to the pan; do it any sooner and the salt will pull juices from the meat.
3) Cook the meat until it releases easily from the pan before turning it. The meat will release once a nice crust has formed. Don't tug: if there is any resistance and the meat sticks to the pan, let it cook for an additional minute before checking again.

10 Things You Can Do Now To Protect Your Immune System
1. Sleep deep, and enough: Lack of sleep may cause inflammation in the body, which can challenge your immune system.
2. Exercise more, stress less: Some studies show that even 20 minutes of exercise, three times a week, can increase the body’s immune function. Chronic stress leaves your body susceptible to stress hormones, which suppress the immune system.
3. Eat an apple instead of drinking a soda: Boost your immunity with more antioxidants (fruits, vegetables, and mushrooms such as reishi and maitake). Processed sugar suppresses your immune system. Did you know that just one soda can reduce your body’s ability to destroy bacteria?
4. Swap your cocktail for a green tea: The catechins in green tea are powerful antioxidants. In contrast, more than one alcoholic drink per day makes it difficult for your immune system to kill bacteria. The more you drink, the weaker your immune system.
5. BEFORE you get a cold or flu, ask your healthcare provider for an immune-support supplement: Both vitamin C and zinc increase immune cell activity. Consuming an array of mushrooms such as reishi, shiitaki, and maitake are good for a stressed immune system.
6. Shower with Sesame Oil: Get in the shower and put a little sesame oil all over your body and hair then follow with your normal shower. Hopefully your normal shower is using all organic ingredients items so your body can rest and not fight off those pollutants. (Thanks for this tip, Dr. Angela Wu!)
7. Celebrate your wins: Reward yourself with healthy ways to celebrate the achievements in your life. Did well on a work project? Take the extra time to go out for a stroll in the sun, or catch that yoga class you have been wanting to get to.
8. Positive Self-Talk: Get into the practice of telling yourslef, on a daily basis, how wonderful you are & how amazing your life is. Talk to yourself about the goals in yout life, and how you see them coming true. Stop feeding yourself with negative thoughts, guilt, and doubt!
9. Drink, Drink, Drink: Water, that is! Make sure you are bringing in 1/2 your body weight (in ounces) every day. This will keep you hydrated, and ensure your organs can maintain their functions.
10. Sunshine & Fresh Air: Take 15-30 minutes to get out and go for a brisk walk, or sit in the grass and meditate. The fresh air & sunshine will rejuvenate your senses!
Boost Immunity with these Supplements
• C-Lytes: 3 types of Energizing Vitamin C, while easy on the stomach
• IsaLean Shakes: Increase energy, Support digestive health
• Isamune Plus: Rebuild immune system

Keys to Success
'Your Family Matters' with Dr. Keith Kanner on www.wsradio.com
As Tamara discussed on today's radio segment, here is the list of recommended products to help your children have a healthy & successful sports career:
1) Isagenix 'Want More Energy': www.athealth.isagenix.com
2) FRS Energy Drinks: Jimbo's Naturally
3) Isalean Shakes: www.athealth.isagenix.com
4) Larabars: Jimbo's Naturally
5) Isalean Bars: www.athealth.isagenix.com
The most important keys to success are:
1) Proper hydration: Make sure your child consumes half their body weight (in ounces) of water each day - drink plenty of water before, during, and after physical activities
2) Sleep: Make sure your child gets 8 hours of sleep each night
3) Real Food: There is no replacement for real, quality, balanced meals for your children
Tamara believes in a diet that is individualized to each person. Sometimes children cannot identify what is working for their body; however, through even energy, even moods, high focus, and proper digestion, you may be able to help them identify what foods make them feel best. The most important task of parents is to ask better questions, more questions, and listen to your children!

5 Tips for a Happier Life
1) Take Your Sunshine Vitamin
Vitamin D increases serotonin, the mood neurotransmitter. It boosts your immunity, promotes healthy neuro-muscular functions and helps protect you from some forms of cancer. The easiest way reap the benefits of this nutrient is to spend 15 minutes in the sun a few times a week. Be mindful that sunscreen will prevent you from getting adequate vitamin D outdoors; try skipping sunscreen for just 15 minutes. If the weather isn't cooperating, get your vitamin D from milk, egg yolks or supplements (1000 units per day.)
2) Cut the Caffeine
Coffee increases anxiety levels, especially if you're getting more than 300 mgs a day. Increased anxiety means increased irritability. Try substituting your coffee with green tea. It has 1/4 the amount of caffeine found in coffee - and it's a young tea, which means it packs some powerful antioxidants.
3) Express Gratitude
Take the time to truly savor the good things in your life; things others have done for you, things you've done for others and all those small acts of kindness that make you smile. A written expression of thanks helps prohibit us from taking things for granted. So sit down with a steaming mug of green tea and express yourself.
4) Practice Acts of Kindness
It's the little things.
It's not what you say, it's what you do.
By practicing small acts of kindness, you will perceive yourself and others more positively. You'll also appreciate your good fortune in comparison.
Pick 1 day a week and carry out 3 small acts of kindness. Research suggests that this provides a longer-lasting boost to the giver than practicing random acts of kindness spread out over the week.
5) Just Smile
Even when you don't feel like it, the simple act of smiling makes you feel better. A response called facial feedback indicates that, when you smile, you send a signal to your brain that says, "I am happy." Additionally, if you're smiling, you're likely to seem more approachable and happy to others - and people are more likely to smile back.

Apricot & Pistachio Stuffed Chicken
Serves 2
Chicken breast is a lean cut that requires careful cooking to prevent it drying out. Here it is cooked inside a foil tent for most of the cooking time, then browned just before being served to keep it juicy.
1 tsp cumin seeds
¼ lb ready-to-eat apricots
1 oz unsalted pistachios, chopped
2 sprigs of rosemary
2 each Chicken breast
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tbsp avocado oil, extra virgin
2/3 cup marsala or madeira
2/3 cup chicken stock
2 cups spinach, raw
Heat the oven to 375° F. Toast the cumin seeds in a hot, dry pan until they smell fragrant. Finely chop the apricots or blend briefly in a processor, then mix with the cumin and chopped pistachios. Pick the needles from one of the rosemary sprigs, chop finely, and then add to the apricot mix.
Cut the chicken breast three quarters of the way through the middle. Open it out, season, and then spread the apricot mix along the centre. Fold the chicken over to encase the filling.
Wrap the chicken in a triple layer of clingfilm, twisting the ends tightly to set the shape. Leave in the fridge for as long as you can, ideally overnight if preparing ahead. When you are ready to start cooking, remove the clingfilm. Drizzle a large sheet of foil with a little oil. Put the chicken on top and bring the ends of the foil together. Roll the edges to enclose, twisting the ends to seal, then place on a shallow roasting tray.
Cook the chicken for 15-20 minutes. Remove from the oven and unwrap, reserving any juices. Heat the avocado oil in a large frying pan, and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes until it is crisp and golden. Transfer to a warmed plate and leave to rest. Add the marsala and stock to the pan with the second rosemary sprig and chicken juices, stirring to deglaze. Boil until reduced to a syrupy sauce, then check for seasoning.
To serve, thickly slice the chicken, then arrange on a bed of spinach and serve immediately.

Organically Sassy Grilled Salmon
This is absolutely the yummiest grilled salmon recipe. It tastes both hot & spicy, but not overpowering. Adjust the red pepper according to your personal palate, the recipes amount is a happy medium.
Be sure not to overcook the salmon. Grilled salmon is ready when it flakes easily with a fork.
The marinade is also delicious on other seafood, chicken and beef. You may wish to make extra.
Serves 8
INGREDIENTS:
8 organic salmon fillets
1/3 cup avocado oil
1 tsp sesame oil, toasted
5 tbsp low sodium soy sauce or Braggs Liquid Amino’s
4 tbsp balsamic vinegar (Tamara loves Calvi brand)
4 tbsp agave nectar
2 tsp brown sugar
1 ½ tsp ground ginger
1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes (vary to your palate)
1 tsp sea salt (Tamara loves Celtic brand)
2 each green onions, diced
Place salmon fillets in a large sealable plastic bag. In a separate medium bowl wisk together the rest of ingredients then pour over the salmon in the bag. Remove the air from the bag and seal tightly. Marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for 8 hours or overnight.
Wipe a large size piece of aluminum foil with avocado oil. Then wrap salmon tightly in the aluminum foil. Lightly oil the grill plates with avocado oil. Grill the salmon for 15 minutes per one inch of thickness on medium hot grill, or until salmon flakes with a fork. Turn salmon over halfway through grilling.
After you try this grilled salmon recipe, I think you will agree that it is the yummiest salmon recipe you have ever tasted.

10 Easy Ways to BUrn 100 Calories!
1) Aim for 1 Mile
On average, it takes one mile of walking or running to burn 100 calories, says nutritional biochemist and exercise physiologist Shawn M. Talbott, Ph.D. “So the faster you can cover the mile, the faster you can burn off the 100 calories.” A treadmill calculates your distance as your walk or run, while four laps on a running track will constitute a mile. You can also use Google’s pedometer map to plan a mile course around your house or office, or use a traditional pedometer: 2,000 steps equals about one mile
2) Stop Sitting and Start Bouncing
Do you spend at least two hours a day sitting? Well, trading in your office chair for an exercise ball can help you burn an extra 50 calories an hour, says personal trainer Monica Vazquez from New York Sports Clubs. How? “When seated on an exercise ball, you engage your core muscles more,” Vazquez says. “By using all these teeny, tiny muscles you burn more calories just by sitting.”
3) Do a Quick Gym Workout
Start with five minutes of hill climbing on the treadmill, elliptical or bike, followed by two minutes of bicep curls, tricep extensions, lateral raises and upright rows with 8- to 10-pound weights. Next comes five minutes of interval training--alternating walking and running on the treadmill--and finally, three minutes of squats, lunges and wall sitting.
4) Thirsty? Make Sure Your Water’s Cold
Don’t sip your water. Instead, drink it fast and ice cold. “Eight glasses of water, spaced well through the day, gives a metabolic boost that equals approximately 25 calories per glass,”. Your body has to put in some effort to warm that water, which leads to more calories burned.
5) Treat Yourself to a Hot Beverage
In addition to getting your fill of cold water, soothe yourself with a nice hot cup of coffee or green or black tea. These drinks stimulate the sympathetic nervous system, and stimulation leads to calorie burn, says Lisa Davis, Ph.D., vice president of research and development for Medifast. Studies show that three cups of green tea a day can burn anywhere from 78 to 106 calories, says Dr. Davis.
6) Don’t Sit Still
Fidget your way through the day. Shake your leg and tap your foot while sitting at your desk. On a long phone call? Get up and pace around. Keep yourself moving and within one hour you can burn up to100 calories, Davis says.
7) Try a Housework Work-out
Domestic duties can deliver quite a workout. According to CalorieLab.com, a 165-pound woman can burn 100 calories by doing one of these chores:
washing dishes for an hour
vacuuming or mopping for 30 minutes
cooking for 55 minutes
ironing or grocery shopping for one hour
carrying around a small child for 40 minutes
8) Go Ahead, Jump!
Stash a jump rope in your car, your purse or in your desk at work. When you have some time to kill, start jumping. “A jump rope is a fun, portable piece of equipment that can quickly get your heart rate up,” says Jessica Matthews, continuing education coordinator for the American Council on Exercise. “It will have a 140-pound person burning around 100 calories in just 10 minutes.”
9) Dance like No One’s Watching
Regretting that you opted for a frappuccino instead of that (lower calorie) iced coffee? Turn on the radio and you can burn off most of the extra calories in a 20-minute dance session, says Matthews. Have an infant or toddler? Dance with him in your arms and those calories will disappear even faster.
10) Go Play!
Your kids can be your best exercise buddies. A 30-minute game of Frisbee, 10 minutes of rollerblading, and 15 minutes of swimming or Wii boxing each burn approximately 100 calories, Matthews says. Have an infant? Thirty minutes of peek-a-boo crunches, baby bench presses and squatting while holding your baby will burn 100 calories and deliver a wave of baby grins and giggles.

10 Ways You Can Stop Worrying
Let There Be No Crisis Before Its Time
Don’t worry about something that will take place in a week, a day, or even an hour. The variables will be different then, than they are today. If you have to make a decision on Friday, wait until Friday, and see what the day brings.
Stay Grounded in the Present
Squash unnecessary worrying with one question: “Can I do anything about this matter right now, right this minute?” If the answer is “no,” stay in the present moment, jot down the thought, and then let it go.
Don’t Let Possessions Possess You
Let go of your attachment to things—no attachment; no worry. The less you have, the less anxiety you bring into your life. Detach and simplify and you minimize worry.
Set Worry Limits
Set a timer or a watch alarm for 15 minutes. Tell yourself: “I feel the need to think about ________, but I can only afford to spend 15 minutes on it.” When the time is up, the alarm will be a tangible reminder to let the worry go. Schedule this time when you have something important to do immediately afterwards (like picking up the kids, going to a meeting, having friends over), so you’ll have to drop worry and refocus fast
Keep a Worry Journal
Write down your worries in a journal on a weekly basis. Open the journal each week to see how many of the things you worried about actually happened or came true. Referring to this journal often will show you how much time you waste by worrying. It will also serve as a reminder that most of the things you worry about don’t actually happen.
Be Your Own Disaster Master
Worrying is a choice, and you can choose not to do it. Once you catch yourself, you can say, “Okay, I know all I’m doing is going around in circles. So I’m getting off this bus. I’m not going to do this to myself.” Then, get completely absorbed with something that requires your complete mental attention: do a Sudoku puzzle, add some numbers to your cell phone, write a book on Twitter
Stop Playing God
You can’t plan for every outcome. Truth is, you don’t know what will happen five minutes from now, let alone tomorrow, so stop trying to do God’s job.
Don’t Control Others with Your Worries
Let people be who they are. Stop forcing others to do what will make you feel better, instead of what they want. Give people credit for having half a brain and knowing what’s good or bad for them. You’ll cut your worrying in half.
Rein in Your Imagination
Instead of doting on the worst case scenario, conjuring up negative images of doom and gloom, use your mind to form a positive picture. Visualize what’s good about the situation. Think about the best possible scenario or outcome instead.
Practice and Pretend
Pretending you’re not anxious when you are interrupts the worry cycle so you can practice going about your business as usual—uncomfortable but still functioning. Practice and pretend not to worry and, in time, anxieties won’t paralyze you. Remember, though, that you can’t just stop worrying all at once and expect results. Decreasing your tendency to worry takes dedication. But will I worry about not worrying and make myself anxious? I think not.

Prime YOUR Body for Bed
A few simple changes could give your body a better night's rest!
Give these a go:
Give these a go:
- Soaking: Your body temperature naturally lowers wile sleeping, so the rapid cooling you experience climbing out of a steamy tub can bring on the drowsies.
- Sweating: End your workout at least 2 hours before you want to turn in. Exercising too close to your bedtime raises your core body temperature just when you should be cooling down.
- Fluffing: A pillow too large or small can tweak spinal alignment, causing pain that disrupts sleep, says Karen Erickson, a chiropractor in New York City.
If you're a side sleeper, choose a pillow that has a height equal to the distance between the base of your neck and the top of your shoulder.
Back sleeper? Opt for one that lifts the head in line with the spine.
Stomach sleepers: You're overtwisting your neck and back. Train yourself to move onto your side - bend one knee to the side & wedge a pillow underneath it.
Give these a pass:
- Twitter: The glow from your laptop has an alerting affect, which can postpone the release of hormones that induce sleep. Power down an hour or 2 before you climb into bed.
- Overlseeping: Hitting "snooze" on your days off confuses your body clock, so you'll be drowsier come Monday. Wakeup with an hour of the same time, every day.
- Cocoa: We love the sweet stuff, but it contains caffeine, and if you're sensitive to the upper, having it after noon can keep you up nights.

Children & Nutrition
San Diego Magazine 2009
They are fussy eaters. They are hard to impress. They do not like anything that says “healthy” on the label. They are kids after all.
In my career as a nutritionist, I have come across so many mothers all with a common problem of making their kids eat healthy. It seems to be a ginormous task to get our kids to eat right. Personally, I feel all it takes is a little bit of early planning.
Kids posses an amazing gift of intrigue. Making use of their curious nature, is a great way to get started. Having them around in the kitchen, while you chop and saute, will trigger a lot of questions. This way you could start a conversation about what you are cooking and why. I have noticed, that children love to feel involved. Taking them to the grocery or the local farmer's market will make them aware of the different foods available.
As a parent, you not only have the responsibility of providing adequate nutrition to your children, but also to imbibe in them healthy eating patterns. I have often watched parents, force their kids "to finish your veggies", or to "drink that glass of milk", all in vain. Such a behavior would simply make children develop an aversion to foods. If you want your children to eat, Do Not Force it on them.
Here are few quick tips that might be helpful in making your kids eat healthy
1. Get your kids involved in planning the menus for the family.
2. Take them grocery shopping and ask them to pick fruits and veggies of different colors. Tell them how those items are beneficial.
3. Make them feel responsible. Ask them to choose a healthy “take out or dine out” location.
4. If they do not like a veggie in the first go, do not give up, prepare it in a different way. Try to club it with something they like.
5. Give them a 'treat" once a week.
6. Leaving small encouraging notes in their lunch boxes is often fun way to get the kids to eat.
8. Do not stock colas, chips and candies in the kitchen pantry. They are evils lurking to tempt them.
7. Tell them the importance of water and how drinking enough would help them become prettier and handsome!
Always remember to talk to your kids as adults and tell them how important it is to eat healthy. Once they begin to understand good eating habits, a slice of pizza or a candy once in a while would do no harm. They are kids after all.

Whole Foods Market & Organic Debacle
This was an email I received today and I wanted to share my thoughts.
Check this out -a lot of Whole Foods Produce is from China where “organic” produce is not regulated! Plus their salad bar and hot food bar is not organic.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ31Ljd9T_Y
On their behalf Whole Foods has never posted that their salad or hot food bar is organic. I rememeber asking them in the beginning and they were very upfront to say that no many and most items are not organic.
Most of our natural food stores have a balance of some organic and some not. I realize it is quite unnerving to find out that someone is posting "organic" when indeed it may not be. They claim their person line "365 Whole Foods" is organic and then on the package it reads in small print "from China." China does not have any regulated organic farms and this is what is causing the question.
Whole Foods has not really formally addressed the media and I suggest in the meantime trust until we find out differently. They will have to publish a rebuttle in thier defence and we can make our final decision from there.
One thing that is clear, regardless if they have lied or greatly stretch the truth they are still providing us with delicious food that most of the time we are just too busy or lazy to preapre for ourselves. For those of us that are cookign many of our own meals we are especially interested in finding out the facts.
The cost of organic tends to be much greater than regular so as a consumer I prefer to spend my dollars wisely. That said here are the items that I believe to buy organic whenever possible:
Foods to Buy Organic:
Apples
Peaches
Nectarines
Berries
Grapes
Cherries
Pears
Peppers
Celery
Kale
Leafy lettuce
Tomatoes
Carrots
Meats
Dairy
Coffee
Foods NOT necessary to buy organic:
Papaya
Watermelon
Mango
Cantaloupe
Kiwi
Corn w/husk
Onions
Sweet peas
Cabbage
Eggplant
Broccoli
Avocado
Hope this was helpful!
