Something to think about

For the last few weeks, I have researched and written on stress factors and ways to improve resiliency to update my book Empty Plate. My coauthor Kathleen Bell and I wrote Empty Plate: food, sustainability, mindfulness in 2020, during the height of COVID-19, an incredibly stressful time for the world.

There are many conversations about stress and its harmfulness, but little about its benefits in our daily lives. For resilience that supports us through the uncertainties of life, we need more eustress (good stress) than distress (bad stress). Researchers have learned more about what happens during sleep and its role in building sustainable resilience during the last decade. I find it interesting that Maslow's Hierarchy, formulated in 1943, still clearly illustrates the value—in fact, a must-have foundational element of—my passion: Nourishment through food, water and sleep.

“Food security is not just about food production, but rather political, economic, and social stability. It is about people and their most basic need: access to food.” – José Graziano da Silva

I reflect on Maslow's Hierarchy of needs and the perceived stressors of the second tier of importance—safety, maintenance of health, and equity. When these elements are sources of daily struggle, the ability to experience the nourishment elements of the foundational level is greatly compromised. When individuals experience more distress in their lives, their sleep quality, digestive microbiota, ability to absorb nutrients, and brain chemistry are all impacted, increasing all-cause mortality risks. Recent science has even shed light on a specialized "cleaning system" where cerebrospinal fluid is pumped through the brain to carry away toxic compounds that accumulate during wakefulness - while we sleep.

When a population subsists on marginal nourishment from ultra-refined foods, a cascade of health challenges, including heightened anxiety, memory loss and sleep deprivation, are greater. Food inequity is rampant in America, not because we do not have enough food, but because those in greatest need are the least likely to have access. When a body is well fed, it can rest in comfort.

“By helping us keep the world in perspective, sleep gives us a chance to refocus on the essence of who we are. And in that place of connection, it is easier for the fears and concerns of the world to drop away.”
– Arianna Huffington Author, Influencer and CEO

Meteorological winter has officially begun, and with it comes cold, clear winter nights when we can wonder at the stars. When we view the heavens, we can reflect on all those sharing the moment with us, near and far. It is also a time to complete—finish work, wrap up projects, tie a bow on plans for the new year, give thanks and offer kindness.

Here at Holistic Nutrition for the Whole You - we send wishes for a safe and enjoyable Holiday Season. We appreciate each of you and value your commitment to wellness.

01/11/2024

Halloween is now the launch for all things holiday. The holidays are filled with food; many are no longer made in homes but in factories, restaurants and home delivery services. With the convenience comes ever-increasing costs and shortage challenges. One aspect we seldom mention is food inequity among the underserved, elderly and minority members of our communities. I found the following statistic interesting and may write a seasonal series on food cost increases.

Americans spend nearly $12B annually on costumes, decorations, and candy. Each household spent an average of $51 on sweets this year, a cost jump due to a nearly 50% rise in cocoa prices since February.

My How Time Flys
On October 25, 1955, the first domestic microwave ovens went on sale. Born from World War II-era radar technology, this affordable kitchen appliances now sit on millions of counters in waiting rooms, hotels, office break rooms, dorm rooms, B&Bs, RVs, workshops and outdoor and indoor home kitchens across the United States. In 1955, under a licensing agreement with Raytheon, the Tappan Stove Company brought the first consumer microwave ovens to the U.S. market with a price tag of $1,300. In 1965, Raytheon acquired Amana Refrigerators, Inc. and, in 1967, introduced to the U.S. market the first countertop model of microwave ovens (it sold for $495 retail and was smaller, safer, and more reliable than previous models). Only 1% of households in America in 1971 had a microwave; by 1986, the number had risen to 25% of U.S. households.

During this period, science and technology seemed to promise an ever more convenient, beautiful future for the denizens of post-war America. Each product was better, faster and sleeker than the last. With the increase of premade, microwave-packaged and convenience foods and economic growth came ever-expanding landfills and islands of plastic floating in the oceans.
