It’s always made sense to me to choose organic foods and products. After all, who wants a side of toxic pesticides with her luscious spring strawberries? But attending the Organics Matters panel at the Natural Products Expo in Anaheim inspired me to recommit myself to the organics cause.

SMOKELESS TOBACCO a POISONOUS LURE for KIDS
Candy-like smokeless tobacco products are quickly becoming a major cause of infant and child poisonings.
A new study shows 13,705 poisoning cases were reported from 61 regional poison control centers in the U.S. from 2006 to 2008 involving accidental ingestion of tobacco products in children under age 6. More than 70% of these poisonings involved infants less than 1 year of age.

PATRICIA’s TRAVEL HEALTH TIPS
I have just returned to beautiful Santa Barbara from a wonderful trip to Northern California where I visited family, friends and health food stores in San Francisco, Los Altos, Palo Alto, Stanford and Gilroy. I love getting out there meeting Bragg fans and being a Bragg Health Crusader.
While I was waiting over 3 hours at San Francisco airport I got up to do some Bragg exercises. I did some shoulder rolls (see instructions below), the bust/chest strength exercise (see video below) and several other stretches. Before long other people joined in and did the exercises with me and felt great doing this as a healthy group activity.
After traveling for decades I still wonder why airports haven’t installed big TV monitors that show health and exercise tips for travelers. Millions travel by air, but for people with back pain, air travel can be painful and difficult. Narrow seat and limited leg space can make traveling uncomfortable and hurt the body, so it seems to make sense to teach people how to do basic stretches that can improve their travel experience.
On planes and in airports I often notice that the majority of people sit with their legs crossed or sit with bad posture and I hope that I can reach some of those people with these easy health tips that can improve your life with better health.
These health tips are good when you are at airports and on planes.
- Never cross your legs – we are not meant to sit like a pretzel. Crossing your legs hinders the blood circulation in your lower body and can lead to varicose veins an even heart attack.
- Healthy Stationary Jogging — Do while waiting at airport, talking on phone, watching TV etc. It gives your 70 trillion cells a great massage that promotes healthy circulation!
- Shoulder Rolls: Roll shoulders to front, then shrug up to ears, roll back, and reverse
- Chest/Bust Exercise (also for men) – make a fist with one hand and press it against the other flat hand in front of you. While pressing the fist against the flat hand, move your arms from side to side – and up and down.
- Shoes off are best – Lift heels so balls of feet are still on the floor, then drop heals back to the floor. Now lift up toes, keeping heels on the floor. Do 10 sets.
- Walk in plane aisles and in airport corridor - Do back arches, by placing hands in small of back and gently arch backwards. Also, do side bends by placing hands on hips and bend gently to the right, hold five seconds, and back to upright, then bend to left. Do 10 sets.
- Peaceful resting while in the clouds — Wrap a dark scarf around eyes to block out light when taking a nap on plane and use foam earplugs to block out sound.
- For women – don’t wear a tight wire bra — The tightness of wire bras can slow down blood circulation around chest. I recommend that you read the book “Dressed to Kill” by Sydney Singer that you can buy on Amazon.com.
- Unplug your ears – Right before landing hold your nose and blow into nose to remove ear pressure.

MALE OBESITY LINKED to LOW TESTOSTERONE LEVELS, STUDY SHOWS
Obesity, a condition linked to heart disease and diabetes, now appears to be associated with another health problem, but one that affects men only — low testosterone levels.
Results of a study published online ahead of print in the journal Diabetes Care, conducted by University at Buffalo endocrinologists, showed that 40 percent of obese participants involved in the Hypogonadism in Males (HIM) study had lower-than-normal testosterone readings.
