SUMMARY:New Fairfield Senior Center - Chinese Dietary Therapy
DESCRIPTION:Christopher Maslowski\, L.Ac.\, will present a lecture at the New Fairfield Senior Center: “Chinese Dietary Therapy”.\nLearn how food can transform your health!\n  \nA number of ancient Chinese cookbooks and treatises on food (now lost) display an early Chinese interest in food\, but no known focus on its medical value.[5] The literature on “nourishing life” (yangsheng 養生) integrated advice on food within broader advice on how to attain immortality. Such books\, however\, are only precursors of “dietary therapy”\, because they did not systematically describe the effect of individual food items.[6] \n  \nChinese food therapy. (2016\, October 6).

SUMMARY:Health & Stress – An Integrative Natural Medicine Approach For A Happier And Healthier Life
DESCRIPTION:Health & Stress\nDr. Ken Hoffman\, will present an Integrative Natural Medicine Approach to “Health and Stress”. Learn about the symptoms of stress\, how stress affects the body’s overall health\, and what a person can do to relieve stress both at work and at home to feel better and enjoy life more. \nWhen:  7:00 pm – 8:00 pm\nWhere:  Studio Around The Corner\, 67 Main St\, Suite 101\, Brewster\, NY\nCost:  FREE! \nBy Dr. Mercola \nStress often starts in your head with a worry or a fear\, but those feelings of anxiety\, and perhaps even panic\, don’t stay there. When you feel stressed\, your body ramps up production of the stress hormones cortisol\, adrenaline\, and norepinephrine. \nThis triggers the start of the stress response\, and\, like a snowball rolling down a mountain\, it gains traction and speed until you’re ready for the proverbial attack. \nAdrenaline\, for instance\, increases your heart rate\, causing your heart to beat faster and ultimately raising blood pressure. Cortisol can interfere with the function of the inner lining of your blood vessels\, triggering plaque buildup in your arteries\, and increasing your risk of heart disease and stroke. \nMeanwhile\, you brain communicates with your gut\, sending the news that you’re stressed\, and your gut responds in suit\, altering what it would normally be doing so your body can collectively work to fight off this imminent stressor (whether it’s really an imminent stressor or not). \nThis stress response can be quite beneficial if you need to run from a predator\, or even quickly cram for a big exam. Things get messy\, however\, when you feel stressed all or most of the time. \nWhile an occasional stress response is normal and even healthy\, ongoing\, constant stress is not. On the contrary\, it’s the recipe for sickness\, from chronic diseases to acute infections…. \n

SUMMARY:“Way of the Tea”- The Tea Culture of China
DESCRIPTION:Way of the Tea\nDr. Bruce will introduce you to the Chinese Tea Culture and explain various teas and their healing/medicinal properties. He’ll also demonstrate the art of making tea. \n Way of the Tea \nCome prepared to taste! Various teas will be available for purchase! \nCost:  $20 donation – FREE if you bring a guest! \nChinese tea culture refers to the methods of preparation of tea\, the equipment used to make tea and the occasions in which tea is consumed in China. The terms chayi “Art of Tea 茶藝” and Tea Ceremony have been used\, but the term “Tea Culture 茶文化” includes more than just the ceremony. Also “culture” is easier to translate into English from the Chinese term “art 藝”. \nTea culture in China differs from that of Europe\, Britain or Japan in such things as preparation methods\, tasting methods and the occasions for which it is consumed. Even now\, in both casual and formal Chinese occasions\, tea is consumed regularly. In addition to being a drink\, Chinese tea is used in traditional Chinese medicine and in Chinese cuisine… \nThere are many different ways of brewing Chinese tea depending on variables like the formality of the occasion\, the means of the people preparing it and the kind of tea being brewed. For example\, green teas are more delicate than Oolong teas or black teas and should be brewed with cooler water as a result. The most informal method of brewing tea is the simple adding of leaves to a pot\, and hot water. This method is commonly found in households and restaurants\, as at dim sum (點心) or yum cha (飲茶) in Cantonese restaurants. Two other primary methods of brewing tea are the Chaou method and the Gongfucha method. Chaou brewing tends towards a more formal occasion and is generally used for more delicate teas\, medicinal teas and tea tastings. Gongfucha brewing is a far more formal method of tea brewing (mainly for oolong or double fermented teas like Pu-Erh) although even this method can be made more or less formal depending on the occasion. The first Ming Dynasty Emperor Hongwu contributed to the development of loose tea brewing by banning the production of compressed tea. \n  \n Aged Puerh Tea \n  \n  \n“Chinese tea culture.” Teapedia\, . 2 Jun 2013\, 06:25 UTC. 11 Apr 2016\, 13:33 <http://teapedia.org/eng/index.php?title=Chinese_tea_culture&oldid=286>

SUMMARY:Supercharging Your Health With Sprouts
DESCRIPTION:Supercharging Your Health With Sprouts\nSprouting is the process whereby seeds are germinated and eaten either raw or cooked. Seeds of many kinds\, including grasses\, grains and beans\, are used for sprouting. Sprouts are very easy to grow\, and have so many nutritional benefits. Sprouting in your kitchen is like having a mini garden in the house all year round. Sprouts contain a significant amount of protein and dietary fiber\, as well as vitamin K\, folate\, pantothenic acid\, niacin\, thiamin\, vitamin C\, vitamin A\, and riboflavin. The Chinese used to carry mung beans when on long journeys at sea. They would sprout and eat the mung beans as they contained sufficient amount of vitamin C to prevent scurvy! \nIn this lecture\, Bruce Roff\, Senior Associate of SOPHIA Natural Health Center\, will share the simple steps to sprouting\, detail the health benefits\, and offer samples of different varieties of sprouts to taste!
