Epigenetics or in my term Energenetics

I recently became aware of a video on-line of Jeffrey Bland discussing genetics and their role in our health. I have long believed that energies, foods and lifestyle affect gene expression and now research is coming out verifying this. The food we eat, how it was grown or made and our attitudes all affect our health. We are not pre-disposed to disease, it is a function of the messages our genes get. You can change your life! Take a look at this short video, a talk given by Jeffrey Bland, to learn more.

10 Things You CAN Recycle!

Health is dependent upon our environment in addition to what we put into our bodies. In an attempt to help keep the environment clean I recycle as much as I can and am always looking for new things that they accept. I recently got something in the mail that caught my attention with regard to recycling and I wanted to pass it on to you. Here is the list, compliments of Green America.

Appliances - many stores will take your old appliance when you purchase a new one. Goodwill accepts working appliances or contact the Steel Recycling Institute if you have a non-functioning appliance.

Athletic Shoes - One World Running will send still-wearable shoes to athletes in need in Africa, Latin America and Haiti. Nike reuses old shoes to make playground and athletic flooring.

Batteries - Contact Battery Recycling.

Clothes - Take wearable clothes to Goodwill, Salvation Army or any other re-sale shop or shelter. Take wearable women's business clothing to the nonprofit Dress for Success.

Compact Fluorescent Bulbs - Ikea accepts CFLs for recycle. Sylvania will provide a RecyclePak.

Computers and Electronics - Click here to find the most responsible recyclers.

Foam Packing Peanuts - Many pack-and-ship stores accept peanuts. You may also call Plastic Loose Fill Producers Council to find a drop-off site, 800-828-2214. Contact the Alliance of Foam Packaging Recyclers to find a drop off place for foam blocks, 410-451-8340.

Ink & Toner Cartridges - www.recycleplace.com

Oil - Find information for the used motor oil hot lines at their website. This is state dependent.

Phones - Collective Good refurbishes your phone and sells it to someone in a developing country. Call to Protect reprograms cell phones to dial 911 and gives them to domestic violence victims.

Help keep our world a better place by utilizing as many of these resources as possible so that we can all have a healthier life.
