Premium and Organic Body Care Standards | Our commitment to provide the highest-quality ingredients and products extends to every aisle of our stores. Join us for the latest updates in Whole Body where we discuss the benefits of our Premium Body Care® and Organic Body Care standards. Lecia Rand is Category Manager and Product Developer for Whole Foods Market exclusive brand supplements and body care. Whole Foods Market developed our Premium Body Care quality standards to help clear customer confusion. There are a lot of products that claim to be natural, but there is no regulatory standard for making that claim. Whole Foods Market™ experts spent years examining ingredients according to the strictest criteria for safety, efficacy and impact on the environment. This is an ongoing process, which not only evaluated ingredients such as fragrance in detail, but also examines label claims. They have found more than 420 ingredients that do not meet our standard. Identifying the products that meet out Premium Body Care standards are simple: A list of products that meet our Premium Body Care (PBC) standards can be found on each Whole Foods Market store’s website. Many stores have special signs on shelf showing the PBC logo next to PBC products. Whole Body team member can also point shoppers in the right direction depending on what they are looking for. Body care products that meet our standards include shampoos, conditioners, lotions, baby care products and more! There are over 3300 products and growing that have been formulated to our PBC standards, which include many of our 365 Everyday Value® and Whole Foods Market™ body care products. Both successes and challenges help inform research for our Premium Body Care standards to ensure the highest quality products for our shoppers. Sales of 365 Everyday Value® body care products made to our Premium Body Care standards have increased significantly and are available for very affordable prices. Premium Body Care Organic Soaps and Hand Sanitizers have been developed as well as basic items like shower gels and USDA Organic lip balms. The choices for effective raw materials are increasing which has resolved some of the dilemmas for formulation when choices for lathering or moisturizing ingredients that met PBC were more limited.

Heart Health and Essential Fats | What fats are essential for heart health and how can we ensure high-quality, adequate intake? Listen in to this encore podcast to hear about the critical role good fats play in a heart-healthy diet. Dr. Hector Lopez is a board-certified specialist in physical medicine and rehabilitation, holds a Masters degree in Nutrition and is a member of the Nordic Naturals Advisory Board. Experts believe hydrogenated fats increase the risk of heart disease, however there are healthy fats that support the heart: Heart health is dependent on the balanced intake of essential fatty acids or EFAs as they are commonly referred to. These are considered “essential” as they MUST be consumed in the diet because the body cannot produce them on its own. These fats are involved in a variety of molecular mechanisms that have a direct or indirect effect on heart health including: turning certain genes on/off that regulate fat and carbohydrate metabolism; supporting the body’s anti-inflammatory response, and even changing the actual characteristics of LDL cholesterol. Incorporating essential fatty acids (EFAs) into our diets are critical for the heart and overall health: The two EFAs in particular to focus on balancing are omega-6 EFAs and omega-3 EFAs. The overabundance of omega-6 EFAs in the diet (examples include: refined vegetable oils, processed foods and non-pasture fed animal meats) and the widespread relative deficiency of omega-3 EFAs are contributing factors to many of the chronic health conditions facing the US. Because sources of omega-6 EFAs are already so prominent in our daily diet, we should focus on reducing its intake in favor of omega-3 EFAs found in flaxseed oil, cold-water fish, walnuts and dark leafy greens for example. Although a variety of plant-based oils, cold-water fish, greens and relatively lean, wild animal meats may provide a good base of essential fatty acids (EFAs), many Americans still fall short and supplementation is a great way to cover our bases. While flaxseed oil and fish oil are both excellent sources of omega-3 EFAs, fish oil has some added benefits: Fish oil contains omega-3 EFAs called DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) and EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) that are immediately available to the body and appear to promote health across multiple organ systems from cardiovascular to the central nervous system, as well as metabolic, immune and joint health. Even the American Heart Association has recommended over 1,000mg of EPA/DHA daily in patients with history of heart disease for cardiovascular benefits, which is almost 8x more than the average American consumes. Supplementation offers a solution to the challenge of satisfying these amounts of EPA/DHA daily. When choosing a fish oil supplement, it’s important to verify its quality and purity: Choose fish oil supplements that have a high degree of purity and concentration from molecular distillation manufacturing processes. Also look for third-party testing practices, which can help ensure high-quality oils.

Eat Smart for a Healthy Heart | There are many effective ways to support a healthy heart through simple dietary and lifestyle choices. Listen to this encore podcast presentation and learn about the link between inflammation and plant-based nutrition from one of the doctors who former President Bill Clinton credits with regaining his health. Dr. Caldwell B. Esselstyn, Jr. is an internationally known former surgeon, researcher and clinician at the Cleveland Clinic, and author of the book, Prevent and Reverse Heart Disease. Dr. Caldwell Esselstyn’s clinical research and book on preventing heart disease is centered around smart eating for a healthy heart: Protection against heart disease through plant-based nutrition has been the foundation of his research and clinical practice strategy for over 25 years. He has consistently found in patients severely ill with advanced coronary artery disease that the results of using plant-based nutrition are prompt, powerful and enduring. The foundation of this plant-based diet includes a wide variety of nutrient-dense foods like vegetables, fruits, legumes and whole grains, while avoiding animal products and processed oils. Additionally, he adds 1000 I.U. of vitamin D3 and 1,000 mcg of vitamin B12 daily to ensure adequacy of these nutrients. Chronic inflammation has been shown to increase the risk for cardiovascular disease: Coronary artery disease develops from progressive injury to the delicate inner lining of our blood vessels known as the endothelial cells. When healthy, these cells produce copious amounts of nitric oxide. Nitric oxide protects our blood vessels by: maintaining a smooth blood flow to prevent cellular elements from becoming sticky; providing more blood to muscle and other body systems requiring it; inhibiting the development of inflammation in the vessel wall; and preventing the formation of vessel blockages or plaque. The western diet of processed oils, dairy, meat, fish and poultry progressively destroys our endothelial cells’ capacity to produce nitric oxide, thus leading to a loss of vascular protection. Without nitric oxide, a sticky LDL cholesterol molecule enters beneath the endothelial lining initiating an inflammatory cascade of events culminating in plaque formation and blockage with occasional plaque rupture causing a heart attack. Dietary and lifestyle choices help support a healthy heart: Consume a plant-based diet and avoid processed oils, dairy, animal, fish and poultry products. Choose rolled oats for breakfast that are filled with polyphenolic compounds and also copious amounts of green leafy vegetables, which can help restore endothelial function. Exercise is important to incorporate, such as regular walking, biking, swimming, running and resistance training. Whether it is with family or friends, find the joy of interpersonal relationships.

Smart Whole-Body Cleansing | The New Year is a natural time to think about giving the body a much-needed vacation. Tune in to this encore podcast presentation to find out what to expect and avoid on a whole-body cleanse, and the simple ways to make the most of your efforts to reduce the “body burden” in this popular encore presentation. Dr. Gaetano Morello is a licensed naturopathic physician practicing in West Vancouver, British Columbia. While cleansing is an everyday function of the body, beginning a detox cleanse offers many benefits: There are tens of thousands of toxic chemicals wiggling their way into our lives on a daily basis through the water we drink, the food we eat and the air we breathe. Although our body is naturally designed to process and eliminate these toxins, the sheer number creates an overload and accumulation within various body tissues. The concept behind cleansing is to reduce the amount of toxins in these tissues by first, reducing exposure and second, improving our body’s ability to get rid of them. The end result will lead to overall improvement and well-being. The body signals when it needs a break and how the cleanse is working: Chemical toxins can impact many aspects of physiology that range from disrupting the endocrine system to negatively affecting the nervous system and digestive tract. The general signs to look for may include digestive problems, fatigue, skin issues or weight gain. One should feel more energetic and the digestive system should feel lighter. One may also experience better skin tone and a general feeling of alertness. Reducing the body burden is critical to the cleanse: By definition, body burden is equal to the total amount of chemicals you’re exposed to minus your body’s ability to get rid of those chemicals. An effective cleanse reduces the overall body burden by minimizing exposure to toxins and then supporting the body’s ability in eliminating them. Reduce/avoid pesticide-laden foods, alcohol, caffeine, carbonated beverages, refined sugar, tap water, air pollution and synthetic chemicals (found in many household cleaners and bodycare products). Dr. Morello’s tips and recommended supplements to make the most of a cleanse: Make sure the digestive tract is in good health, the liver is supported and antioxidant reserves are sufficient. Specific supplements like digestive enzymes, fiber and milk thistle may be needed. Plenty of rest, deep breathing, good sleep and purified water are also key.

Health Starts Here | Looking for healthy eating resources? At Whole Foods Market®, we have developed Health Starts Here® to help guide wise nutrition choices. Listen in and learn where to focus for the most benefit. Akua Woolbright holds a PhD in Nutritional Sciences and is Whole Foods Market’s Senior Healthy Eating and Wellness Educator. Whole Foods Market has developed a simple program to support your health and wellness goals: Health Starts Here® uses a commonsense, back-to-basics approach to provide healthy eating education and support. Our ultimate goal is to educate people about the benefits of eating real, whole foods (specifically plant foods) in order to live more vibrant, healthy lives. There are four pillars to guide healthy eating choices no matter which dietary path one follows: Whole Foods - select foods that are as unrefined and unprocessed as possible Plant-Strong™ - consume more plants foods: fruit, green and colorful vegetables, legumes, nuts, and seeds Healthy Fats – meet small daily fat requirements with whole plant foods such as nuts, seeds and avocados Nutrient Dense - increase consumption of micronutrients (vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and phytochemicals) while decreasing calorie consumption Nutrient-dense foods can be helpful during weight management and cleansing: Nutrient-dense foods are, by their natural makeup, those that are lower in calories and higher in micronutrients. Dark green leafy vegetables or raw almonds are examples of foods that are low in calories and void of saturated fat and cholesterol. One meets the criteria of nutrient density simply by using the other three pillars to help guide food choices. Additional healthy eating resources are available online and in store: ANDI (Aggregate Nutrient Density Index) scores are listed throughout the store and rates foods from 0-1000, with a 1000 being the best. Kale and certain other green leafy vegetables would score a perfect 1000! The best way to use ANDI is within categories to see which vegetables, fruits or perhaps legumes have the highest scores. There are recipes and tips for getting started with Health Starts Here on our website. Many of our stores also have healthy eating specialists on staff to offer store tours, cooking classes, supper clubs, and printed materials. Ask for a healthy eating specialist at a store near you!

Seasonal Wellness Shopping List | It’s the time of year that we need to take extra good care of our bodies and specifically the immune system. Join us in exploring herbs and nutrients available at Whole Foods Market that may offer support. Malia Curran, MS, MPH is a nutrition consultant, speaker, and mom of two young children. The immune system is a powerful defense team nourished by specific nutrients found in food or supplement form: Garlic and ginger both contain compounds that can help optimize the body’s immune system. Vitamin C is integral for white blood cell production and healthy inflammation response in the body. Whole Foods™ brand Vitamin C 1000mg is a “sustained release” formula. A high-quality medicinal mushroom complex that includes shiitake, reishi, maitake and cordyceps contain polysaccharide compounds that can stimulate the body’s immune system. Probiotics, found in fermented foods and supplement form, can aid the body in maintaining healthy levels of beneficial bacteria in the gut that are very important for immune system function. Herbs and minerals provide additional benefit through their compounds or antioxidants: Astragalus is an herb that when used preventively may enhance the immune system through white blood cell function. Echinacea studies that have used the appropriate amount, species and part of the plant have shown that this herb is effective for supporting immune health. Elderberry extract is found in wellness syrups like Gaia Black Elderberry Nighttime Syrup and is noted for its effectiveness, as well as its great taste. 365 Flu Ease is a homeopathic remedy that when taken at the first sign of sickness can provide temporary relief of symptoms including fever, chills and body aches. Research shows the mineral zinc is a key player in healthy immune function and is needed for white blood cell production and activity. To help maintain a healthy immune system, nutritionist Malia Curran recommends: Choose a combination immune support formula like Source Naturals Wellness Formula which contains garlic, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, zinc, selenium, elderberry, echinacea, ginger and astragalus. Ricola drops and teas use herbs that are organically cultivated and do not contain artificial sweeteners or colors. In addition to hand washing, there are other effective lifestyle tips that can be easily incorporated for prevention: Don’t forget a multivitamin to cover your bases on basic amounts of vitamins and minerals. Make sleep an absolute priority, along with daily exercise and other types of personal stress management. | 29/10/11 | Gratis | Ver en iTunes |
