I'm looking for a cleans- ing "fresh start." Can you offer any suggestions? Thanks, Bobbie. A nswer: Dear Bobbie, There are many "purifying" ac- tions one can take that can lead to a rejuvenation of your body, mind and spirit. As a first step, I would recommend that you examine your current circumstances with an eye towards self-evaluation and making what- ever real, long-term commitments are necessary to improve your diet and emotional and physical health. Here are some general, but I think valuable suggestions: 4_ • Adopt a more natural, im- mune-system-friendly diet: one rich in antioxidants (e.g., fruits, vegetables, seeds, grains, beans, fresh herbs, spices and teas); • Do your best to elimi- nate toxins and pollut- ants in your controllable environment, e.g., use "green," eco-friendly products; • Eliminate the "toxic" rela- tionships in your life and work at improving your other important relationships, e.g., forgive those who may have wronged you; • Seek professional help where appropriate; • Enjoy life to its fullest—begin now. — Barbara Beznos, Registered Dietitian / Candlelighting On The Cover: A volunteer at a shelter in northern Israel holds the hand of a Sudanese refugee.
