Protecting Yourself From Wildfire Smoke

The Risks of Wildfire Smoke

Wildfire smoke is approximately 10 times more toxic than typical air pollution from fossil fuels, with no safe exposure level. Higher exposure worsens various health outcomes. The main pollutant is particulate matter —tiny solids and liquids including aldehydes, acid gases, benzene, dioxins, ethylene glycol, formaldehyde, heavy metals, methylene chloride, nitrogen oxides, petroleum hydrocarbons, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), styrene, sulfur dioxide, tetrachloroethylene, toluene, and xylene.

Potential Health Effects

Exposure can lead to:

-Irritation of eyes, nose, and throat
-Headaches, dizziness, loss of coordination, nausea, and vomiting
-Worsening of asthma or increased risk of developing asthma, COPD, and other respiratory illnesses
-Difficulty breathing and fatigue
-Elevated cancer risk
-Damage to liver, kidneys, and central nervous system
-Higher susceptibility to infections, especially respiratory ones
-Risks during pregnancy, such as premature birth and low birth weight
-Increased chance of neurodegenerative diseases like dementia and Alzheimer's
-Reduced respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological function in adults and children
-Suppressed immune function

Strategies to Minimize Harm

To support your immune system, lungs, and detoxification processes with antioxidants and nutrients:

Recommended Supplements (in capsule form or from food sources):
-Methylated B vitamins (e.g., Complete B, including folic acid, B6, B12): Reduce inflammation from smoke inhalation.
-Omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA): Stabilize heart rate and protect against smoke effects.
-Vitamin C (plant-based, non-synthetic) + Deltanol: Decrease airway irritation and improve airflow.
-NAC (N-acetyl cysteine): Reduces lung inflammation, boosts pulmonary defenses, and aids respiratory repair.
-Detox binders (e.g., Medi-Clay FX): Trap and eliminate toxins in the digestive tract.
-Glutathione: Speeds detoxification and controls lung inflammation.
-EGCG extract from green tea: Reduces lung inflammation; matcha has 3x more EGCG than sencha green tea.

Dietary Tips:

Consume a variety of fresh, raw, and organically grown fruits and vegetables for their antioxidant benefits. Include healthy starches like steel-cut oatmeal, boiled purple potatoes for fiber to help eliminate absorbed toxins. For high-fiber bread, try Manna Organics Sprouted Rye or Sourdough Bavarian Rye.

07/21/2025

As a nutritionist focused on promoting gut-friendly and sustainable foods, I was thrilled to attend the 2025 Summer Fancy Food Show at New York City's Javits Center at the end of June. This event provided an ideal opportunity to scout innovative, healthier options that align with my mission to offer clean, high-quality products to clients who visit for guidance on health conditions. Among the highlights, I discovered a remarkable coconut milk free of xanthan gum, a true gem, as xanthan can often irritate the gut and cause digestive discomfort for many. This pure, additive-free version stood out for its creamy texture and natural flavor, making it a perfect addition to smoothies or dairy alternatives without compromising health.

For meat enthusiasts, the show presented Welsh lamb that easily surpasses American and New Zealand varieties in both taste and leanness. Completely grass-fed and grass-finished, it offers a richer, more nuanced flavor profile with lower fat content, thanks to the pristine Welsh pastures. Sampling it reinforced my belief in sourcing ethical, nutrient-dense proteins that support overall wellness. Inspired by these finds and others, I plan to introduce several of these healthier plant-based foods like the organic matcha and clean coconut milk at my Nutrition Center. The event itself was a resounding success, buzzing with energy and drawing food professionals from around the globe. With a 14% increase in attendee registration over the previous year, over 32,000 visitors explored offerings from nearly 2,500 exhibitors representing 59 countries.

I could only cover about a third of the exhibits, but what I saw was incredibly informative and inspiring, with a strong emphasis on premium ingredients that elevate everyday eating. The variety of new food products was impressive, ranging from artisanal cheeses and gourmet snacks to innovative plant-based alternatives. Exhibitors presented high-quality foods that not only tasted exceptional but also prioritized health and environmental impact. One standout was the exquisite organic matcha from a Japanese vendor. Its smooth, vibrant essence with subtle umami notes was unparalleled, leaving a lasting impression. The international pavilion was particularly captivating, boasting higher-quality and better-tasting foods than many domestic sections. Pavilions from Greece, Italy, India, Turkey, and Brazil featured authentic gems like herb-infused olive oils, exotic spice blends, and delicate confections that sparked ideas for new recipes and product lines. Interactions with passionate producers revealed insights into supply chains, sourcing ethics, and emerging trends like regenerative agriculture.

Please lookout for new, healthy food items at The Khader Center. If you have any questions, please call The Khader Center at (914) 242-0124.

07/14/2025

In July 2025, microplastics—tiny plastic particles under 5mm—pervade our planet, contaminating oceans, air, soil, and food chains with billions of tons of persistent waste. These pollutants, stemming from degraded plastics, infiltrate drinking water, seafood, indoor dust, and even human tissues, posing a severe environmental and health challenge. As a nutrition center, we are deeply concerned about their infiltration into our diets and bodies.

Microplastics disrupt health in multiple ways: they release toxic chemicals and cause physical damage, leading to oxidative stress, inflammation, DNA damage, and endocrine disruption. Emerging studies link them to chronic conditions like cancer, heart disease, hypertension, diabetes, stroke, Parkinson's, dementia, respiratory disorders, inflammatory bowel disease, obesity, autism, reproductive issues, and preterm births. Children and vulnerable populations face amplified risks, including neurodevelopmental harm and increased pathogen spread. To minimize harmful effects on your health, take proactive steps: install a reverse osmosis or HEPA water filter to remove up to 99% of microplastics from tap water, and ditch bottled varieties. Avoid heating food in plastic containers—switch to glass, ceramic, or stainless steel. Reduce your intake of processed foods, canned items, red meat, and high-risk seafood; opt for fresh, organic ingredients that are cooked from scratch. Use HEPA vacuums and mop frequently to curb airborne dust particles, and choose natural fiber clothing and bedding to limit synthetic shedding.

To minimize your exposure, I suggest storing food in glass containers instead of plastic ones. Wash synthetic garments less often and air dry them. Embrace reusables, use a stainless steel container for your Vitamix instead of plastic. Use a dishwashing brush made of bamboo instead of plastic, and support plastic-free products while advocating for stricter regulations and better waste management. Also, use bamboo toothbrushes instead of plastic ones.

By adopting these habits, we can combat this pervasive "curse" and safeguard our nutrition and well-being.

Join our nutrition center in making informed, sustainable choices for a healthier planet and future! If you have any questions, please call the office at (914) 242-0124.

I Hope You Are Enjoying A Healthy Summer,

05/30/2025

With warm weather comes unwanted pests like mosquitoes, ticks, ants, and hornets. These biting insects can be more than just a nuisance—they may pose health risks and disrupt outdoor fun. Here are key tips to prevent and treat bug bites effectively.

PREVENTION:

1) Use Bug X Tick & Mosquito Repellent for protection - https://shop.dinakhader.com/product-p/9306.htm

2) Extra guard against ticks may be necessary for longer outdoor activities. Try Nantucket Spider's Extra Strength Tick Repellent Spray or look at adding Oregano Oil (https://shop.dinakhader.com/product-p/1241500.htm) or Lemon Eucalyptus essential oil to your prevention kit. They are excellent plant-based alternatives to DEET.

3) Wear lightweight, long-sleeve cotton or linen shirts to guard against bites while also staying cool.

4) Brush or wipe mosquitoes off instead of slapping them to avoid drawing blood to the skin’s surface, which can attract more pests.

5) Plant natural repellents like lavender, lemongrass, basil, sage, mint, marigolds, catnip, citronella, bee balm, or floss flower in outdoor planters.

TREATMENT:

1) Medi-Body Pack & Vitamin C Blend (https://shop.dinakhader.com/product-p/khg2300.htm) : Mix 1 capsule of Vitamin C Blend with 1/4 - 1/2 tsp Medi-Body Pack and a small amount of purified water to form a thick paste. Apply to the bite and let it sit for 10–15 minutes, then rinse gently without scrubbing and pat dry. Supports detoxification and provides antioxidant/histamine relief.

2) QC Oil Blend (https://shop.dinakhader.com/product-p/1536.htm) : After rinsing off the paste, apply 1–2 drops to soothe and calm the treatment site.

For the best results, Dina recommends treating the bug bite as soon after the bite as possible.

Hoping all of you are having a great start to Summer,
Dina Khader

Walking Is A Form of Medicine

Dr. Mark Hyman, MD, says that, "if possible, take your next meeting on a walk."

Dr. Hyman posted the following on his LinkedIn and I felt compelled to share it with you all:

"Walking is a form of medicine. It strengthens your heart, protects your joints, balances your blood sugar, boosts your mood, and even sharpens your brain.

Just 30 minutes of brisk walking five days a week has been linked to a 19% lower risk of heart disease. Walking helps regulate blood sugar and insulin levels, reducing the risk of type 2 diabetes. It supports joint health by keeping them lubricated and strengthening the surrounding muscles, even reducing arthritis-related pain. It activates fat-burning pathways, helping with weight management and lowering dangerous belly fat.

And when it comes to longevity, walking is one of the simplest things you can do to extend your life—those who take around 8,000 steps per day have a 40–50% lower risk of premature death.

And the benefits don’t stop at the body—walking is also a game-changer for the brain.

Regular walks reduce stress hormones like cortisol, increase feel-good endorphins, and stimulate BDNF, a protein that helps neurons grow and protects against cognitive decline. Some studies even suggest that brisk walking can be as effective as antidepressants for mild to moderate depression!

We’ve been conditioned to believe that fitness has to be extreme to be effective, but that’s simply not true. Walking isn’t just exercise—it’s a form of preventative medicine. It’s accessible, free, and one of the most powerful ways to improve your health, one step at a time.

So, are you getting your steps in today?"
