Nutrition Expert
Enjoys Cleansing Resort
Culinary nutrition expert Meghan Pearson reflects on her stay in Hacienda del Sol, a Costa Rican retreat where she found peace and harmony. The cleansing program includes juice cleanses and enemas, but for those who don’t want to go quite that far, there is vegetarian food and nutrition workshops with cooking academy founder Meghan Telpner.
The Hacienda experience includes a fairly laid-back program: “Seven days of 8 a.m. yoga, 10 a.m. brunch, 11 a.m. food talks, and then free time galore. Hours spent hammock swaying in the sunlight, hiking to the nearby beaches (20 minutes each way for one, 40 minutes for the other, all uphill I swear), chilling in the Buddha hall with my personal yoga practice, clay baths, and massages.”

How a Cat or Dog Benefits Babies’ Health
While some parents are concerned about a cat or dog being bad for their baby’s health, a recent study shows that in fact these pets could be beneficial. Babies and infants who can boast having a pet in their home are actually not sick as often as those without pets.
For example, youngsters living with a dog in their house were 44 percent less likely to develop an ear infection. While pets do increase the amount of bacteria around the house, this may actually be a good thing as the child’s immune system is better able to develop by being exposed to them.

“Manly” Esquire Writers Are Juicing
“We know the perception of the Esquire staff is steak-gobbling he-men,” writes Anna Peele, “but if you look in our fridge, you will see bottles and growlers of low-calorie, vitamin-rich juice. It’s true: Esquire cleanses. Openly.”
“LizzyJaysJuice founder Casey Sabol claims juicing‘s ease of digestion allows maximum vitamin intake because ‘the longer it takes to assimilate food you eat, the fewer nutrients your body absorbs,’ and there’s a lot of talk about the importance of giving your digestive system a rest. But the real reason to consume half of your typical caloric intake in liquid vegetable form is to shrink your gut and give your body a respite from its usual bacchanal of caffeine, alcohol, and processed food.”

“Mind-wandering may metaphorically stir the creative pot, causing the mind to jump from one idea to the next, and in so doing encourage unconscious associations,” explains Jonathan Schooler, PhD, professor of psychology at UC Santa Barbara.
