Happy Fourth of July! Yes, I’m spending part of my holiday
working on the newsletter! The summer
seems to be already flying by.
In this issue of the newsletter I wrap up your guided trip
through the digestive system with the last two installments. Next we’ll continue our tour of the body with
the endocrine system – the makers of our hormones (or as one of my clients
jokingly called her “horror-mones”) which essentially direct the majority of
the body’s activities.
There is still time to sign up for the 49th
annual School of the Arts at Rhinelander (July 22-27). I’ll be teaching a week long class Learning and Living a Healthy Lifestyle. We
will meet daily for three hours and each day will combine learning about
nutrition, yoga, and relaxation. For
more information go to www.soawisconsin.org.
Your Digestive System
Tour Concludes
Here are the last two installments of your guide through
your digestive system. The first article
describes the supportive roles of the liver, pancreas, and gall bladder. While the stomach, small intestines, and
large intestines do all the heavy lifting so to speak, they could not do it
without the help of those other organs.
The second article looks more specifically at the large
intestines and the important role that bacteria play in our health.
What is Your
Nutritional Type?
One of my nutrition colleagues, Glen Depke, has developed an
interesting survey for you to determine your nutritional type which helps guide
you as to what foods are best for your type.
While I believe in general healthy foods are healthy foods, we are all
still individual and often the proportions of the healthy foods that are best
for us are unique to us.
With all of these “typing” mechanisms I believe they are
useful inputs into the big puzzle. Are
they the end all? That is for you to
decide. Enjoy!
Please note there is a little sales pitch at the end, but to
get the basic information it is free and worthwhile.
