DID YOU KNOW . . . Red wine may help regulate blood sugar levels in diabetics, according to a study recently published in the Journal of Food Biochemistry. The study showed that red wine might inhibit, by nearly 100%, the activity to an enzyme responsible for triggering the absorption of glucose by the small intestine. White wine was far less effective (20% decrease), showing that the concentration of polyphenolics is the major factor, with red wine containing about 10 times as much. This research is very significant because more than 20 million Americans (7% of the population) have diabetes, with $92 billion of the $132 billion total costs directly related to medication. The authors suggest that using specific beverage combinations could generate a whole food profile with the potential to manage type 2 diabetes and its complications, especially in the early stages.

July "WINE-OF-THE-MONTH" Pinot Noir $13.99
It's young and it's already beautiful!
Just in the bottle about two months — come in and "taste" its potential.

Puja Thomson of Roots & Wings has been busy —
her CD, Roots & Wings for Strength and Freedom has been updated and is now available in disc format and download. A revised CD companion workbook is coming soon.

In May, Puja presented at three events — the eighth annual Weekend of Hope for cancer patients and survivors, in Stowe, VT; in Asheville, NC at Malaprops Bookstore and at the Inner Light monthly group. In June, Puja addressed the Middletown organization CROC (Citizens Reunited to Overcome Cancer), and signed After Shock books for 44 of the members. Lilipoh, a holistic anthroposophical health magazine, invited Puja to contribute to their special edition, Living with Cancer. A review of Puja's book appeared in the February/March issue of the Townsend Letter, The Examiner of Alternative Medicine. The April-June issue of Celebrate Life, Benedictine Hospital's oncology support newsletter, published a report by Puja on the Annie Appleseed Project conference about evidence-based complimentary and alternative cancer treatment.

Puja's book After Shock: From Cancer Diagnosis to Healing
has received another award — finalist in the 2008

ATTENTION, LADIES!
The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition recently published a study which indicates that your waist size is an important indicator of your cardiovascular risk. Compared to overall body mass, the circumference of your waist may have a direct correlation to your cardiovascular risk. This study was done on both men and women between the age of 40-50 and concluded that for men waist should not be larger than 35 inches and for women 33 inches. Here's the good news! You can significantly lower your waist size by simply changing just a few eating habits. No need to starve yourself, simply learn to eat right and eat often. The key to reducing belly fat is to stabilize our blood sugar throughout the day. FITworks will teach you proven principles to help you do this. Decide to make a life change today! Your heart will thank you!

Join It Works Marketing’s new online FITworks fitness plan. FITworks whole food fitness plan is helping a lot of people! Pssst! The program is very affordable!

Time and Space Matters
Coaching Services


These services are designed to help you to achieve stress-free productivity and create more time and energy for what matters most to you. Whether you are already productive and are unsure how to move to the next level or you feel overwhelmed and out of control — there is something here for you. There is always more to do than there is time to do it. The benefits of getting organized are undeniable, yet the process can be overwhelming. It's hard to know where to start, and difficult to stay focused from beginning to end, which is where coaching comes in. Time and Space Matters Coaching is available in two formats:

Phone Coaching includes a self-assessment, identification of goals, recognizing challenges and creating solutions, and designing and implementing action plans. As your coach I will support you through the process and provide you with practical strategies and proven methods to ensure that you achieve your goals (home or workplace).

On-site Coaching includes all of the above with an emphasis on effective information and work flow. (Home or workplace)
