Early last month, when we first wrote about nvohk—an eco-friendly, surf-inspired clothing manufacturer—we noted it was a good example of a crowd-funded business model. Hoping to build a brand from scratch, the Los Angeles-based company launched a drive to recruit 5,000 “owner managers” who will each contribute USD 50 annually. In exchange they’ll get a voice in deciding everything from the clothing styles to the advertising of nvohk’s line of environmentally responsible clothing. Plus, they’ll receive discounts along with 35% of the company’s profits, the latter doled out in the form of reward points that can be used to buy clothing items.

Nvohk’s crowd-funded approach appears to have been right on the money. The company recently announced that 1,250 people have signed up to become members. An appealing and perhaps unexpected element to nvohk's approach is that the brand will be global from the start. "With about 40% of future members coming from outside the US to date, nvohk is a great example of how the internet and globalization are changing the business landscape forever," comments Brendan T. Lynch, co-founder of nvohk.

As the environmental consequences of driving cars become ever more clear, consumers are increasingly aware of the benefits of alternative modes of transportation. Walkit is a website that promotes the power of walking as a healthier way to get around.

Walkit's goal is to help consumers make more informed decisions about whether they choose to walk for all, or part, of any given journey. The UK-based site currently offers walking routes for London, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Newcastle/Gateshead, and plans to cover all the UK's major cities by the end of this year. Thanks to a feature just added earlier this month, users going through inner London can request "fresh air" routes with the lowest pollution as well.

Walkit then supplies the user with a detailed map and written directions, including distance, walking time, the number of calories burned and the carbon dioxide avoided by walking rather than riding in a car, taxi or bus.

Just last month an article appeared in the New York Times dining section warning readers of the dangers of eating too much fish. Yes – you read correctly – the article written by Marian Burros warned readers that eating more than three servings of fish per week, particularly sushi grade fish, would increase your blood mercury to dangerously high levels.

Needless to say Ms Burros’ article, which was based on a July 2007 report by the New York City Department of Health, drew quite a stir.

Is there a real problem with eating too much fish? The original report issued by the NYC Department of Health concluded that 1 in 4 New York City adults has elevated blood mercury levels. Specifically, those with the highest levels are Asians and higher income New Yorkers. The reason ... they eat more fish.

The study also found that compared to the rest of the country’s population – New Yorker’s have higher blood mercury levels (a fact that may be due to our addiction to Japanese take out).

The word "mandala" is from the classical Indian language of Sanskrit. Loosely translated to mean "circle," a mandala is far more than a simple shape. It represents wholeness, and can be seen as a model for the organizational structure of life itself--a cosmic diagram that reminds us of our relation to the infinite, the world that extends both beyond and within our bodies and minds.

Describing both material and non-material realities, the mandala appears in all aspects of life: the celestial circles we call earth, sun, and moon, as well as conceptual circles of friends, family, and community.

"The integrated view of the world represented by the mandala, while long embraced by some Eastern religions, has now begun to emerge in Western religious and secular cultures. Awareness of the mandala may have the potential of changing how we see ourselves, our planet, and perhaps even our own life purpose."
(From Mandala: Journey to the Center, by Bailey Cunningham)

Nutrients in foods contain many elements that can help your body and especially your skin to remain in good condition. When your body is ‘happy’ and ‘efficient’, through detoxification, it will show on the outside.

Your skin needs:

• essential fatty acids (omega-3 and omega-6) found in oily fish and flax seeds
• antioxidants vitamins C, E, and beta-carotene to retaliate against the damaging effects of UV light and free-radicals
• minerals zinc and selenium to build tissues and heal wounds. Find these minerals in foods like seafood, nuts, grains, and vegetables
• vitamin B6 to balance hormone levels, particularly for women that have pre-menstrual break-outs
• vitamin A to help reduce sebum levels on the skin
• potassium to help maintain elasticity, water to maintain hydration and flush toxins from the body
• water to maintain hydration and flush toxins from the body

Made from the seeds of grapes left over from the wine-making process, one tablespoon contains only one gram of saturated fat to olive oil's two grams. It is also high in polyunsaturated fats, which have been found to lower the bad cholesterol. The brag sheet doesn't stop there. Grapeseed oil has been found to raise HDL cholesterol (that's the good kind), which is rare for polyunsaturated fats. Grapeseed oil is very high in vitamin E and other antioxidants, similar to ones found in grapes and wine. Not only that, it is high in linoleic acid (omega-6 fatty acids).

Cookingwise, grapeseed oil has a higher smoke point than olive oil making it ideal for sautés; smoke point is where an oil burn starts to breakdown. It's also a very mild nutty taste so the flavor of the food you are cooking really shines. Grapeseed oil also has great emulsifiying properties (keeping everything mixed together) making it an excellent oil for salad dressings.

It can be difficult to find expeller-pressed (meaning harsh solvents and chemicals are not used to extract the oil from the seed) grapeseed oil.

A traditional Korean fermented dish made of some select vegetables with varied seasonings, most commonly referring to the spicy baechu (cabbage) variety.

Kimchi is made of various vegetables and contains a high concentration of dietary fiber, while being low in calories. It also provides up to 80% of the daily required amount of ascorbic acid and carotene. Most types of kimchi contain common ingredients like onions, garlic and peppers all of which have well-known health benefits. The vegetables being made into kimchi also contribute to the overall nutritional value. Kimchi is rich in vitamin A, thiamine (B1), riboflavin (B2), calcium and iron, and contains a number of lactic acid bacteria.

Kimchi has a reputation of being a healthy food. The Health Magazine named kimchi in its list of top five "World's Healthiest Foods" for being rich in vitamins, aiding digestion, and even possibly retarding cancer growth.

Extracts from human and cow placenta: Placenta produces estrogen and progesterone and other hormones that can interfere with the body's normal hormone functions and can lead to serious health issues, like breast cancer in women and girls. Sometimes used in hair relaxers, moisturizers, and toners.

Lead: A known human reproductive and developmental toxin. When scientists recognized that lead harms the developing brain of a child, the government demanded its removal from gasoline and house paint — but not hair dye.

Petroleum Products: A byproduct of crude oil and appears on labels as petrolatum, mineral oil, and paraffin. Petroleum has been linked to cancer, developmental and reproductive damage, immune system toxicity, endocrine disruption, neurotoxicity, and environmental harm. Sometimes found in hair relaxers, shampoos, anti-aging creams, mascaras, perfumes, foundations, lipsticks, and lip balms.

Mercury: With 30 years' of knowledge that mercury has the ability to damage brain function at low levels, it is still used in cosmetics. As importantly, this is the controversial ingredient used in vaccines that is blamed as the cause for autism in children. It is sometimes found in ointments, mascaras, and eye drops.

Fragrance. This ingredient is so unregulated that cosmetics companies don’t even have to list what is in their fragrances. Many fragrance ingredients are chemically-based, neurotoxic, and allergenic. Sometimes found in everything from shampoos to deodorants to lotions.

Formaldehyde: A preservative that has been linked to cancer, cell changes, neurotoxicity, and developmental and reproductive harm. It is primarily used in nail polishes and hair bleach.

Mink and Emu: If fat scraped from the back of the hide of mink and emu isn't something you'd like to lather on your legs for shaving, you might want to avoid some shaving creams, sunscreens, and hair sprays.

Hydroquinone: Trying to lighten those pesky age spots? There has been media coverage recently on the FDA's warning to avoid skin lighteners with hydroquinone. "This skin bleaching chemical can cause a skin disease called ochronosis, with disfiguring and irreversible blue-black lesions that in the worst cases become permanent." Sometimes found in skin care lighteners and moisturizers.

Nanoparticles: These minute little particles are capable of being directly absorbed into the bloodstream and can slide up the optic nerve to the brain or burrow inside red blood cells. Sadly, companies don't have to list that they're in beauty products, though Skin Deep found that more than one-third of all products contain ingredients now commercially available in nano forms. Sometimes found in eye shadows, bronzers, sunscreens and lotions.

Phthalates: "Whether it's sperm damage, feminization of baby boys, or infertility, a growing number of studies link phthalates to problems in men and boys," according to Skin Deep. Pregnant women should avoid it in nail polish. Sometimes found in hair products, nail polishes and hairsprays.

Good Morning World! Nothing like a cold shower to get you going. This remedy as old as yoga and can be just as effective to boost your system. Some macrobiotics claim it helps create an alkaline reaction for over acidic conditions. If this seems about as appealing as wearing your bikini in a snowstorm, take your normal hot shower and at the end turn the water to a mildly cold temperature. This change will pleasantly wake you up.

The vast majority of people taking antidepressants would be just as well off taking placebos, British researchers found.

Only a small group of the most severely depressed patients get a significant benefit from commonly prescribed drugs such as Prozac and Seroxat, according to the study published today.

Clinical trials of the new generation of antidepressants - known as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) - showed they work no better than a placebo for patients with mild or even severe depression, the University of Hull researchers found.

Irving Kirsch, a professor of psychology who led the study team, found that most patients benefit just as much from physical therapy or psychotherapy as they can from drugs.

The study is the first to examine both published and unpublished trials of the effectiveness of the enormously popular SSRIs.

"The difference in improvement between patients taking placebos and patients taking antidepressants is not very great," Kirsch said. "This means that depressed people can improve without chemical treatments."

The new study, published today in the journal PLoS (Public Library of Science) Medicine, said all 47 clinical trials for the drugs came from data released by the US Food and Drug Administration under freedom of information rules.

So you know you should be eating dark leafy greens, since they're great sources of iron, fiber, and calcium. Lettuce and spinach are green, but not nearly as nutritious as kale.
This curly green veggie is part of the same family as cabbage and brussels sprouts, and is so good for you because it contains phytonutrients that help prevent cancer.
Kale also contains the flavonoid called maempferol, which may help prevent ovarian cancer. This hearty green veggie is also great for cleansing and detoxifying your system, and is a rich source of vitamin A. One cup of cooked kale will give you 36 calories, 7.3g of carbs, 2.6g of fiber, 2.5g of protein, 94 mg of calcium, 2 mg of iron, 88.8 mg of vitamin C (that's surprising), and 510 mg of vitamin A (wow).

In Israel, privately owned start-up Conceptic has already installed e-Menu technology in sushi bars, pubs and family restaurants. The system is based on touch-screens already used in self-service canteens or for ticketing in airports and cinemas.

"It's about impulse-buying," said Adi Chitayat, Conceptic's chief executive. "If a person starts looking at pictures of chocolate cake, the chances are he'll order it."

Frame, a trendy sushi restaurant in Tel Aviv which has installed the system, said sales on tables with the e-Menu have increased by about 11 percent. Customers often call ahead to reserve spots equipped with the screens, manager Natalie Edry told Reuters.

At one of the e-Menu tables, information technology worker Gil Uriel and his young family were enthusiastic as they checked out pictures of the dishes on offer and squabbled over desserts.

"It's more visual," said Uriel, as his children clicked away furiously on a games function between courses. "We can still choose, we can still argue -- but it's much easier when you can all see it."

• Nuts: Nuts have omega 3 fatty acids, which research has linked with a lower risk of Alzheimer's. In addition, nuts like almonds are a great source of the antioxidant vitamin E. However, the nuts you find in the snack food section of the store can have lots of added fat, calories and salt, so be sure to read the food labels.
• Fish: Fish like salmon, cod and trout are rich in omega 3 fatty acids.
• Coffee: Several studies have found a link between coffee consumption and a reduced risk of Alzheimer's disease. The caffeine in coffee appears to have an effect on the toxic beta amyloid proteins associated with Alzheimer's disease.
• Sunflower seeds: Sunflower seeds provide an excellent source of vitamin E.
• Red wine: A study on mice found that the equivalent of one glass of red wine a day had protective effects against Alzheimer's disease, possibly due to the presence of the antioxidant resveratrol.
• Olive oil: A staple of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil contains vitamin E and antioxidants.
• Beans: Kidney beans, lima beans and other varieties are excellent sources of antioxidants and folic acid, which has been linked to lower Alzheimer's disease risk.
• Vegetables: Consumption of green leafy vegetables like spinach and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts could slow cognitive decline.
• Fruits: Apples and citrus fruit appear to protect the brain against oxidative stress thanks to the presence of chemical substances known as polyphenols.

We'd only recommend routine consumption of shrimp in its natural, wild form - not the farmed version. Sometimes the shrimp may already be labeled as "wild" or "non-farmed," but you may have to ask some questions and be persistent in order to find out from your grocer whether or not the shrimp you intend to buy have been farmed.

Key problems with shrimp farming involve use of antibiotics and pesticides in the raising of the shrimp. One particular disease - called White Spot Syndrome Virus - can be particularly deadly to shrimp, and for this reason, many shrimp farmers use antibiotics in an attempt to protect the shrimp. Because very small amounts of shrimp entering the U.S. are ever tested for antibiotic residues, their presence is a definite concern in farmed shrimp that have been routinely given antibiotics.

Wild shrimp are very nutrient-rich and low in calories - two of the reasons that we included shrimp on our website as a World's Healthiest Food. It's also very unusual to find a food that is rich in the same combination of nutrients as shrimp - selenium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12. Because this particular list of nutrients is often deficient in the U.S. diet, shrimp could play a unique role by "filling in the gaps" for all three nutrients all at once.

That being said, and even if a person was deficient in selenium, vitamin D, and vitamin B12, we would not be sure whether eating shrimp every day would be a good thing. We think balance is important, whether it be because it adds variety to a diet, allows you to enjoy a range of nutrients, and/or reduces the potential for an allergy to form (sometimes people develop a sensitivity to a food when consuming it too much, the reason why corn and wheat are two of the top food allergens in North America).

The other thing about shrimp is that they do contain cholesterol; four ounces of cooked shrimp contains about 220 milligrams of cholesterol. For some people, this isn't an issue, but for others it is. Therefore, we would suggest that while you may want to include wild shrimp in your meal plans as a healthy addition and one that may support healthy weight loss, you may not want to include it every day, but rather alternate it with other nutrient-rich protein sources such as fish and legumes/beans.

When we wrote about Florida's Healthy Bites Grill back in 2002, we even went so far as to wonder if it might become the next McDonald's. While HBG doesn't appear to be winning that coveted title, New York's Zen Burger is a new contender that has gotten off to a flying start.

Zen Burger aims to revolutionize the fast food world with natural, wholesome vegetarian foods that have the look, feel, texture and taste of meats without the negative effects on health and the environment. Serving breakfast, lunch and dinner, the restaurant specializes in meatless comfort foods that mimic those sold in traditional fast-food environments, such as the ZenSausage breakfast sandwich, ZenBeef burgers, crispy ZenChicken sandwich, ZenTuna sandwich, ZenHotDog, ZenChicken tenders, ZenShrimp and French fries.

The midtown Manhattan eatery, which just opened a few weeks ago, even recreates the ambience—if you can call it that—of the big fast-food chains, with bright lighting and a 1970s colour scheme heavy on the oranges and greens. Also available at Zen Burger are organic soups and chili, organic salads, non-dairy ice cream, organic teas and coffees, and natural sodas, as well as kids' meals complete with tiny toy. Pricing for a standard meal is about USD 7.

Zen Burger was founded by James Tu, owner of Zen Palate restaurants, and reportedly the plan is to take the chain nationwide, with the next restaurant slated to open in Hollywood in the middle of this year, according to Midtown Lunch. While vegetarians make up a still-small but rapidly growing part of the U.S. population, "flexitarians"—or those who eat a vegetarian diet some of the time, but not always—are a much larger group, and Zen Burger's real target, Tu told TheStreet.com. " The key is the taste," Tu said. "Ideally, I don't want people to know what they are eating is vegetarian."

Appealing to serious and sometime vegetarians alike, it's hard to imagine anything but a warm reception to this concept around the globe. One to get in on early?

Thanks!

 "I wasn't your typical pre-med student.    The first medical text-book I read was The Yellow Emperor's Classic of Internal Medicine
  which was written 5,000 years ago.    While at Cornell, I had some friends in nutrition school and one of them encouraged me
  to take a course that really changed my life.   It really opened me to the idea that food plays a roll in illness.
 
  It's still amazing to me in my practice, 30 years later, how big of a gap this is for most people.  Most don't realize that what they eat
  has an influence on how they feel, that their health is connected to their mouth and what goes in it.
 
  My experience in college reading books like Nutrition Against Disease, by Roger Williams, who is the father of a concept called
  Biotechnical Individuality enlightened me to the science of personalized medicine.
 
  This idea from Roger Williams taught me that we all have individual needs that require us to attend to those needs in order to be healthy.
  Medicine is not a one-size fits all solution.
 
  As I continued in my studies I read more books and took courses in nutrition that really developed a foundation to thoroughly comprehend
  how food plays an active roll in illness.
 
  So when I became seriously ill I started to use food as therapy.  I ate in a way that eliminated the food allergies I had.  I ate foods that were
  rich in anti-oxidants, were anti-inflammatory, and helped me detoxify from heavy metals and the mercury toxicity I had.
 
  What it allowed me to do was heal after I understood these new basic forces of illness.  I call these the 5 forces of illness and they are:
 
  1. Malnutrition
  2. Inflammation
  3. Impaired Metabolism
  4. Impaired Detoxification
  5. Oxidative Stress
 
  If you look at any chronic condition these 5 forces are at the root of it.  If we are able to address those elements and remove those problems
  we'll be able to finally bring balance to the body which is what I was able to do and have been doing for over 20 years in my medical
  practice.
 
  This science is really the key to unlocking permanent health.  Most people think that when we age, disease naturally happens.
 
  However, disease is NOT an inevitable part of aging.  Just because everyone around us is sick and overweight doesn't mean that we have to be
  too.
 
  After several years as co-medical director of the Canyon Ranch and tracking over 2,000 people's success I finally outlined how to stop
  these 5 forces of illnesses and bring balance into your body.

Long part of traditional Chinese medicine, “auricular therapy,” as it is called, entails stimulating key points of the outer ear (corresponding to body parts and functions) with seeds or needles as in traditional acupuncture. The practice is now increasingly being used nationwide to treat an array of ailments.

Ear seeds have long been used stateside for addiction treatment. But today, with the growing demand for alternative therapies, there has been an increase in the practice of using ear seeds (or their metallurgic equivalents, acubeads and ear magnets) for health issues from anxiety to pain to insomnia.

Chrysanthemum Sinense (a.k.a. Tibetan chrysanthemum) has found its way into skin care products because of its anti-inflammatory and gentle pain-relieving qualities. Rich in minerals and amino acids, it cools and calms the body. Since it helps reduce blurred vision and eye pain, you will likely see Tibetan chrysanthemum in products targeted at correcting puffy eyes. In Chinese culture, it's common to incorporate chrysanthemum tea into a meal because it also helps cleanse and protect the liver and kidneys from toxins.

More than 90% of headaches are classified as tension headaches -- which occur when the muscles in the back of your scalp and neck tighten.

Follow these head-wise tips for relief:

Ice, ice, baby: Apply an ice pack to the painful area -- on your forehead, temples or the back of your neck.

Rest, relax, repeat: Take a nap in a quiet, dark room or go for a walk to blow off steam. A warm bath also does the trick.

Me-ssage: Give yourself a mini acupressure massage by following these steps:

1. With one hand, press the indention at the base of your skull.

2. Use the thumb and forefinger of the other hand to straddle the bridge of your nose and simultaneously press firmly into the upper hollow of your eye socket.

3. Maintain pressure for 15 seconds, release and repeat for 3-5 minutes.

Supplemental relief: Try a mix of valerian (great for general pain relief), passionflower and skullcap (both ease stress). The herbal trio relaxes your shoulders, neck and scalp. Ask your naturopath for recommended dosage.

Thanks!

Less than a dozen years after Dolly the sheep became the world's first cloned mammal, grocers and restaurateurs are digesting the fact that milk and meat from cloned animals could soon filter into their supply chains.

The government took major steps toward easing cloned livestock and their offspring into the food supply in mid-January, when the Food and Drug Administration concluded they're safe to eat.

The question is, will consumers swallow the new technology? And how will food businesses cope if their customers balk?

Did you know that although oranges are renowned for their vitamin C, they are also important as a source of dietary fiber?

One medium-sized orange contains 13% of your daily recommended intake for fiber. While we usually consider most of the fiber to be in the fleshy pulp of the orange, research is finding that pectin and other forms of fiber found in the white layer immediately beneath the skin of the orange can help curb appetite and suppress hunger for up to four hours! And contrary to common belief, the white pulpy portion of oranges is not bitter. Whole oranges are also a healthy snack for people with diabetes because the fiber helps keep blood sugar levels under control. By selecting a whole fresh orange over a glass of orange juice, you will benefit from about the same amount of vitamin C, but you will also be gaining the 4 grams of dietary fiber that is lost through the juicing process!
