We keep learning more important reasons why targeting Mg rich foods is so vital!!

Adults with high levels of magnesium-rich foods in their diets had an incredible 53% reduced risk for lung cancer, according to a study from the USA. Magnesium is well known to be important for health, because it forms part of more than 300 enzyme systems. It also plays a key role in DNA repair—which is crucial for fixing mutations that could lead to . Not surprisingly, lung cancer patients with higher dietary intakes showed increased DNA repair capacity as measured by the host cell reactivation assay. Foods that are particularly rich in this amazing mineral include: green vegetables, nuts, seeds, whole grains, , dark chocolate and blackstrap molasses.

They are just trying to balance the economy with sensible health concerns. My office policies have not changed. Stay steady - stay the course.

CBJ Emergency Operations Center (EOC) encourage all citizens – vaccinated and unvaccinated – to wear a mask in indoor public areas. With Juneau experiencing a modest increase of COVID-19 cases, residents are asked to mask up and practice other COVID-19 mitigation measures as appropriate to avoid a surge of cases happening elsewhere in the region and state.

“With community spread happening in Juneau, more people traveling in and out of the community, and the Delta variant active in the state, let’s be proactive in keeping our case numbers low. Please wear masks in indoor public areas, like grocery stores, libraries, restaurants and bars when you’re not eating and drinking, and other indoor spaces where people are gathered,” EOC Incident Commander and Deputy City Manager Mila Cosgrove said. “Let’s do everything we can to keep our businesses open and the Juneau School District on track to full school days this fall. Please practice other mitigation measures like physical distancing in crowded spaces, holding gatherings outdoors versus indoors, and keeping those gatherings small when possible.”

The EOC will provide detailed information and guidance during a CBJ COVID-19 Community Update tomorrow, July 20, at 4 p.m. Participate online https://juneau.zoom.us/j/98563085159, call 1-253-215-8782 with webinar ID 985 6308 5159, or watch on Facebook Live (www.facebook.com/cbjuneau)

The EOC also strongly recommends the following mitigation measures related to COVID-19 testing, which remains an important tool in slowing the spread of COVID-19:

• For vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, if you’re feeling even mildly ill with new symptoms (bit.ly/3xKazfn) like fatigue, chills, cough, fever, or decreased sense of taste or smell, contact your health care provider or call Juneau’s COVID-19 Screening Hotline at 586-6000 daily, 8 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. to schedule a free COVID-19 test (bit.ly/3wIOH2r) at CBJ’s Drive-Thru testing facility. You can also register online here: bit.ly/3yOl3vc

• Unvaccinated individuals who’ve traveled within state – particularly to Sitka, Anchorage, or Kenai Peninsula – are asked to take a COVID-19 test (bit.ly/3igJSbw) upon arrival at the Juneau airport.

Healing all aspects of the human condition is the overarching goal of practitioners in the healing arts.

Or at least it should be.

For years my table has been a place of problem solving. Sometimes on the body sometimes on the mind, but always on the connection between the two.

Our efforts to be healthy reinforces the reality that we are a part of nature. In order to be healthy we have to work toward a personal and shared equilibrium, one that supports a diverse world and vibrant ecosystem.

This means we need to examine who we are in our humanity or in many cases the lack of it, and how we can begin to evolve toward a more inclusive world.

Editor’s Note: The following article, introduced by Jeremy Ohmes, is a contribution by an outstanding student from Loyola University, Chicago, whose voice enriches the ongoing conversation that is Minding Nature.

"Many people cannot allow themselves the time to sit and do nothing but breathe. They consider it to be uneconomical or a luxury. People say “time is money.” But time is much more than money. Time is life. The simple practice of sitting quietly on a regular basis can be profoundly healing. Stopping and sitting is a good way to focus on mindful breathing and nothing else."

FOR PEACE

As the fever of day calms towards twilight
May all that is strained in us come to ease.

We pray for all who suffered violence today,
May an unexpected serenity surprise them.

For those who risk their lives each day for peace,
May their hearts glimpse providence at the heart of history.

That those who make riches from violence and war
Might hear in their dreams the cries of the lost.

That we might see through our fear of each other
A new vision to heal our fatal attraction to aggression.

That those who enjoy the privilege of peace
Might not forget their tormented brothers and sisters.

That the wolf might lie down with the lamb,
That our swords be beaten into ploughshares

And no hurt or harm be done
Anywhere along the holy mountain.
