Extreme diet makeover
Over the past seven years, I've had more diseases than a CDC lab rat. My husband knows which nurses at Vassar Brothers like his chocolate-chip cookies and which prefer the oatmeal. Full-time work, graduate school, vacations or even commitments for dinner reservations have long been just wishful thinking. Click for more

An organic experience
Are you easily seduced by heads of purple-hued garlic, happy yellow pattypan squash, and bunches of carrots with their long green tops still on? Vibrant colors and earthy aromas bewitch me. At a local farmers' market, I find it hard to depart without inviting these visual delights home along with their friends, such as red cabbage, red radish, cucumber and kale. Click for more

The excellence of herbs
Summer herbs - thyme, rosemary, sage, parsley, mint, basil and others - are easy to find, smell intoxicating, look beautiful in gardens and pots and certainly taste great. But that's not all they're good for. These herbs, often called kitchen or culinary herbs, have much more to offer. Click for more

Steps to improve women's health
If you want to give yourself a gift for Mother's Day, go out and buy a jump rope. It's a suggestion Dr. Padmavati Garvey makes to many of her patients. Jump-roping is inexpensive, can be done anywhere and, most important, it's good for you. "The number one thing that I see women not doing that they really need to do is exercise," said Garvey, an obstetrician and gynecologist with Mount Kisco Medical Group in Poughkeepsie and Fishkill.

How to foster a healthy body image in your child
There is a growing self-consciousness about weight and how we look among an ever younger segment of the population--and often among young people who are not overweight. A nationwide survey of more than 2,900 men and women published in the February 1, 2007 issue of the journal Biological Psychiatry, fournd that the incidence of eating disorders among both males and females in the United State is on the rise, and that binge-eating disorder is even more common than the better known anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa.

Farmers Everywhere
Nowadays, it seems you can't skid into a snowbank without hitting the sign for a winter farmers' market. New Paltz, Saugerties, Rosendale. New Paltz again. Where did they all come from? Click for more

One Woman's Journey to Fitness
With every new fad diet and exercise craze comes the promise that THIS way of eating or THAT form of exercise is THE answer for anyone wanting to be healthier. Judging from the overall results of this short-term, one-size-fits-all thinking, many people are caught in the cycle of yo-yo weight loss and gain, and the accompanying physical and emotional stress. What can someone do who is seeking to have a healthier life over the long term? Click for more

Feeding Your Inner Hibernator
It's October. The fresh peaches of summer are sweet history, the farmers' markets are closed, and autumn is here to remind us that this is a season of change. There are modifications to our wardrobe, adjustments to the darkness that greets us in the waking hours, and variations in our daily routines. The cooler temperatures push us indoors, hungry for books and crafts and other notably sedentary activities, preferably in front of a warm fire. Click for more

5 to 9, Eat Your Way through the World's Healthiest Vegetables
Eating whole and unprocessed foods-direct from the ground, to the pot, to the table-may be our best defense against heart disease, stroke, cancer, and a plethora of chronic diseases which currently plague us. Evidence is mounting in favor of eating at least five to nine servings of fruits and vegetables a day but did you ever wonder exactly what is in that leaf of lettuce, that cup of steamed cauliflower, that sprinkling of parsley-and how you are benefited?

Nourishing Wisdom
Drifting downward like confetti through dwindling Indian summer air, brown and yellow leaves reconcile us to harvest season's grand finale - a bittersweet sendoff of hearty fruits, vegetables and greens. "As the leaves change, the palate changes," nutrition counselor Holly Anne Shelowitz observed on a recent Monday evening, seated at a banquet table in the downstairs hall of Fair Street Reformed Church in Uptown Kingston for the start of her cooking class, "Summer into Autumn." According to Shelowitz, a certified whole-foods educator, our bodies also "transition from one season to another." And so the focus of her class: "how to slowly make that transition regarding food."

Door-to-door Gourmet
People prepare dinner in all sorts of ways. Some marinate choice cuts of beef for days. Others cook same-old, same-old pasta dishes in rotation throughout the week. Some tear the box off a frozen potpie, pop it in the microwave, and eat it right out of the paper dish. Others frequent restaurants. But there is another option, abundant with variety, health benefits, and convenience, and tailored to every taste. Click for more

Food for Thought
Last year, after pledging on screen to help her boyfriend (now fiancé), Morgan Spurlock, the director of the documentary Super Size Me, reverse the damage wrought by 30 days of eating Mickey D's, Alex Jamieson was bombarded with e-mails from filmgoers who hoped she could help them cleanse their own overtaxed organs. Her approach - to overhaul the body's system using whole foods- sounded promising, even though those who wrote her weren't necessarily familiar with what she does. "But," says Jamieson, "so many of them have had negative experiences with conventional medicine that they were ready to try something new." Click for more

Success Story: Holly Shelowitz - Truckin' Away
Before coming to Integrative Nutrition I was living in Manhattan working as a commercial photographer and had four books of my photography published. It was heavy-duty work that was very stressful and exhausting. My back went out completely, so that I couldn't move, twice. For twenty years I had been reading everything I could get my hands on about nutrition, health and food. Clients, friends and family were always asking me health and cooking questions. I had no intention of giving up my career because I had worked from being a starving artist to a very successful photographer, but I went to the school anyway. Click for more

Artificial Sweeteners
You've had a great workout, pushing yourself to generate an impressive sweat and a formidable thirst. You fancy a carbonated beverage, and after all that work to keep the pounds off, you choose sugar-free. And surely you could splurge on just a little ice cream - better yet, some of that calorie-reduced brand so you could have just a little more?. Click for more

Guilt-free desserts are not only possible but delightfully delicious!
The very phrase "guilt-free desserts" conjures up the image of whipped tofu with a sprinkling of some sawdust-like substance, two carob chips and a raisin or two on top. Why waste a good spoon on that? Desserts, as we all know, are confections, delights, fondants, sweets, tutti-frutti petits fours, gateaux, pastries, apple pies, bonbons, cookies, sugarplums, puddings, and magical ice cream potions - all frequently made of chocolate, cream and/or butter.

Counselor takes nutrition from concept to table
"It’s one thing to be talking about food and it’s another to be in the kitchen cooking," says Holly Anne Shelowitz, nutrition counselor. To get her clients thinking about the practical application of nutritional knowledge, Shelowitz meets with them in an ongoing process over a six-month period, takes them on tours of health food stores and oversees them in a series of cooking classes. By offering a comprehensive approach to nutrition, Shelowitz hopes to give her clients the information they need to begin a healthy lifestyle. "The cooking classes feel like a cementing of the private sessions," she says. Click for more
