Continuing our Wellness Journey - Intimacy
This week our journey focuses on the power of Intimacy, the 10th of 12 keys to wellness drawn from the Wellness Inventory whole person assessment program. In our modern culture, the word "intimate" has informally become synonymous with sexual intercourse. What we mean here is more in line with the dictionary definition, relating to your deepest and private nature or a close, long-term association with another person. This can be a sexual, sensual, or platonic relationship. Learning to effectively deal with conflict, respect and assert boundaries, and to connect responsibly is essential to building the trust that is essential in intimacy. Studies have shown that intimacy is a major component in one's health and happiness. View more

While working at the computer, adults' breathing rate increases by 30% to 18 breaths per minute, while the breathing rate of young boys playing computer games increases by 68% to 25 breaths per minute. This rapid breathing often contributes to sub-clinical hyperventilation, increased neck and shoulder tension and general fatigue.

Raw Food Materia Medica - "Cucumbers" - Brigette Mars
(http://healthy.net/scr/MMList.asp?MTId=8)
Cucumbers are members of the Gourd Family, making them relatives of zucchini and melons. Cucumber is slightly bitter, cool, and alkaline. It helps dissolve uric acid levels and aids in dissolving kidney stones. Its
high silicon content is believed to encourage healthy skin, nails and hair growth. Cucumber moistens the lungs, is diuretic and laxative. Eating cucumbers can truly help relieve summer heat, helping one feel "cool as a
cucumber" Those that are excessively cold, weak and have damp conditions, such as diarrhea are not recommended to eat large amounts of cucumbers.

Quinoa is the high quality, complete protein grain of the Incas, sometimes known as the "mother grain or seed" in the Andes where it has been a staple for over 5000 years.

Enjoy this quinoa salad full of spring vegetables either warm or chilled.
