	Seasonal Transition and Chinese Medicine by Norah McIntire, L.Ac.

	Chinese Medicine seeks to align the body with the natural flow of life to enhance and protect health. This process is rooted in what are called the Five Elements: Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal, and Water. To work with the natural movement of life, Chinese medicine uses this model to dictate the most appropriate activities and foods during a particular season. When acting in harmony with the natural world and our place in it, we maximize health and vitality. Late summer or the transition between the seasons is associated with the Earth element. The organs of the Spleen and Stomach, which are responsible for digestion, are assigned to this element. Foods that are beneficial to these organs are mildly sweet foods, yellow vegetables, soups, and root vegetables. Examples include sweet potatoes, corn, sweet rice, garbanzo beans, squash, millet, and apricots. Activities involving meditation, gentle stretching, and mode John D.

By Katrine Knauer. Lately I have been addicted to watching documentaries, loving to learn while I relax. Somehow I always end up walking away with a heavy heart and not much of a better plan on how to save, or at lest help, the world. A few weeks back, a friend suggested watching No Impact Man, a documentary about a family in NYC who go one year trying to havethe least amount of environmental impact. The movie left me on a high. Instead of the usual mourning over the direction humanity is heading. I was inspired. I am also curious and currently addicted to blogs finding new ways to reduce my household impact and finding recipes to support my buying locally. After testing my limits at home, the process naturally overflowed into the workplace and into e v o l v e . After many times peeking into the trash and picking out of the recyclables tossing them over to where they belong, in the recycle bin, I started to take a look around e v o l v e . Taking a more critical eye, making mental notes of how this business can start taking steps towards being more green. I received much enthusiasm and encouragement from John and the e v o l v e staff. The result that we would work on it publicly and with our community, week by week to share our learning experience and sharing the process. The main future goal would be to have an eco friendly establishment that would eventually become a certified Green Business. going green :: Post 1. by Katrine Knauer "BRAVO! Katrine.
