Here's a bit from her website: "Harvard-trained psychiatrist and nutrition expert Dr. Uma Naidoo draws on cutting-edge research to explain the many ways in which food contributes to our mental health, and shows how a sound diet can help treat and prevent a wide range of psychological and cognitive health issues, from ADHD to anxiety to OCD." From her newsletter: "MOOD FOOD of the Week: Mood: Anxiety Food: Green Beans Mental Health Benefits: Green beans are… Packed with Vitamin C and Vitamin A , two nutrients that act as antioxidants and help reduce the damaging effects of oxidative stress in the brain that can increase symptoms of anxiety Particularly high in manganese , a nutrient that nurtures the nervous system and promotes a healthy stress response Rich in potassium which helps regulate cortisol and adrenaline, two hormones that, when elevated, can increase stress Adding This MOOD FOOD to Your Diet: Green beans are a classic summer veggie that you are probably seeing abundantly right now! They can be enjoyed raw and dipped into your favorite healthy dip, salsa, or hummus, or added as a crunchy addition to a colorful salad! They are also delicious roasted, grilled, steamed or sauteed with a little bit of avocado oil and lemon juice. During the cooler months they make for a hearty addition to soups, stews and casseroles!" Studio Strength has openings!

Join us for class and meet some people who are practicing this skill, too. Peace is this moment without judgment. That is all. This moment in the Heart-space where everything that is is welcome. Peace is this moment without thinking that it should be some other way, that you should feel some other thing, that your life should unfold according to your plans. Peace is this moment without judgment, this moment in the Heart-space where everything that is is welcome. --Dorothy Hunt
