Shine is…  MSM – (methylsulfonylmethane) A form of sulfur and a vital building block of joints, cartilage, skin, hair and nails.  MSM supports many vital bio-chemical processes in the body, including energy production.  There is a positive synergistic effect on building healthier cells when MSM is taken in combination with Vitamin C. Camu Camu (Vitamin C) - A berry which contains powerful phytochemicals, beta carotene, calcium, iron, niacin, phosphorous, riboflavin and thiamin.  It has more Vitamin C than any other known plant in the world.  Camu Camu is also energizing, mood-lifting and highly effective in strengthening the immune system. Spirulina - A fresh-water blue-green algae, spriulina is an ideal anti-aging superfood, with concentrated nutrient value.  It is easily digested, and loaded with antioxidants.  This tiny aquatic plant offers 60% protein, B-complex vitamins, phytonutrients, rare essential fatty acids, and numerous minerals.  It has been used clinically for AIDS/HIV, arthritis, athletic nutrition, weight-loss, cardiovascular function, gastrointestinal health and reducing cancer risk. Klamath Blue-Green Algae - The most nutrient dense food on the planet.  It contains glyco-proteins, vitamins, minerals, simple carbohydrates, lipids and biologically active enzymes.  Due to the algae’s soft cell wall, these nutrients are readily available to the body.  Because the body only uses a small amount of energy to convert this superfood into fuel, it is a fast, efficient, energizing way to improve any diet. Cayenne - High in Vitamins A, C, B complex, calcium and potassium.  Cayenne is a wonderful healing aid for all body systems, since it acts as a catalyst, increasing the effectiveness of other foods and herbs when used in conjunction with them.  It is especially effective in healing digestive issues, rebuilding stomach tissue, and improving peristaltic action in the intestines. Mineral Chelates - Chelation is a natural process that takes place in the gut to faciliate transportation of nutritional minerals across the intestinal wall as a part of digestion.  Since our body is not very efficient at producing chelated minerals, it is important to receive these chelates in nutritional supplements to assure greater, more efficient mineral absorption. *Available in powder or in vegetable capsules.

RAW RECIPE Angel Hair Pasta with Marinara

It is officially Fall, YAY! 

I LOVE the sensory experiences that this season brings; from the pleasure of feeling the cool breeze against my skin again, to the sense of nostalgia stimulated by the aroma of burning leaves, to the tantalization of my tastebuds by the many delicious seasonal veggies like winter squash, radicchio and pumpkin (my favorite!)

What better way to revel in the bounty of the season than with an incredible new dish with which to wow and delight your friends and family!?

Try this stunner, a HIGH VIBE fave from our pal Jeremey Safron, adapted from his tome The Raw Truth (get it here today!)

Angel Hair Squash Pasta with Marinara

Serves 4

2 C Red Sauce

7 dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in water until soft, and drained

2 large tomatoes, chopped

1 clove garlic

4 fresh basil leaves, chopped

2 T Bragg Liquid Aminos

2 T Bariani olive oil

1 T nutritional yeast

Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a blender.  Add the chopped tomatoes, garlic, basil, Braggs, olive oil, and yeast.  Blend well, until smooth.  The sauce should be very thick.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 large zucchini

1 large winter squash

1 large, fat carrot

1 large red beet

Pinch of sun-dried salt

1/2 C pine nuts, finely ground

1/2 C pitted olives, sliced

1/4 C loosely packed fresh basil leaves, chopped

5 dry-packed sun-dried tomatoes, soaked in water until soft, drained and finely chopped

Onion Flat Bread

Use a spiralizer to create spaghetti-like "pasta" or a vegetable peeler to create linguini-style "pasta" of the zucchini, squash, carrot and beet.  Rinse the vegetables well and soak in water with the salt for 1 hour.  Drain.  On each of four serving plates, place one quarter of each spiralized vegetable.  Pour 1/2 cup of the red sauce over each serving.  Top with some of the pine nuts, olives, basil and sun-dried tomatoes.  Serve with a square of Onion Flat Bread. 

HAPPY AUTUMN !!!

THE CURRENT New Anti-Fur Icon Initiative

Joshua Katcher, creator of The Discerning Brute, "Fashion, Food & Etiquette for the Ethically Handsome Man", has launched an initiative to inspire artists and designers from around the world to try their hand at creating a new Anti-Fur Icon (currently considered to be the "No Fur" pin). 

Josh is promoting the campaign through both an online 'digital-tabloid' (check it out, it's great!) and website Reinvent the Icon.

"Some might argue that you don’t tamper with a classic, but we think there’s nothing wrong with a group of talented designers breathing new life and form into the original NO-FUR icon, and drawing much-needed attention to the message behind it. You are a creative genius who is about change an industry, and we thank you in advance."

Excellent, we LOVE it and have already started designing a pin ;)

Promoting compassion for animals is awesome!  Bravo Josh, and other the other amazing collaborators, we thank YOU for your efforts to help end cruelty towards our furry friends.

FRIENDS & FITNESS Tennis Anyone?

 

To our delight, a good friend of ours who'd been gone all summer came by to say hi last week.  And what has our illustrious friend Sean been up to for the last few months?  

Playing and teaching tennis in the Hamptons! 

Chatting with Sean about his summer got us thinking about tennis and fitness...and we realized that tennis is probably one of the top sports you can play to keep both your body and mind in tip top shape as you age.

"Why tennis?" you may ask.  Well, here are just a few reasons you may want to think about taking up the sport, if you haven't already!

1) General body coordination, since you have to move into position and then adjust your upper body to hit the ball successfully.

2) Dynamic balance through hundreds of starts, stops, changes of direction and hitting on the run.

3)  Bone strength and density by strengthening bones of young players and helping prevent osteoporosis in older ones.

4) Flexibility due to the constant stretching and maneuvering to return the ball toward your opponent.

5)   Aerobic fitness by burning fat and improving your cardiovascular fitness and maintaining higher energy levels.

6) Plan and implement strategies since you naturally learn how to anticipate an opponent’s moves and plan your countermoves.

7) Learn to solve problems since tennis is a sport based on angles, geometry and physics.

8) Manage adversity by learning to adjust to the elements (e.g. wind, sun) and still be able to compete tenaciously.

9) Generate new connections between nerves in the brain, due to the alertness and tactical thinking that tennis requires, and thus promote a lifetime of continuing development of the brain.

ALSO, according to a twenty year study of over 20,000 people, people who play tennis 3 hours a week (at moderatly vigorous intensity) cut their risk of death in half by any cause!  Now if that isn't a reason to learn to play, I don't know what is!

BE WELL!
