Pork redux

With new U.S. guidelines allowing gentler cooking of pork, we mark the change with a meal of grilled ground pork over a melange of sautéed red onion, pea pods, and slivered almonds, along with mixed greens, grape tomatoes, and diced cucumber…garnished with parsley, marjoram, coriander, black pepper, and just a bit of anise. Learn more about the new guidelines at Pork Cooking Guidelines.

Our natural place

Amidst the preoccupations and pressures of modern life, we sometimes seek escape…leading us to nature and new opportunities for renewal and perspective on life today. In this outward movement, we form and open a window on our earlier life together, our long natural history, and the essential nature of our health in all times…

Eggs and am

Stay home, make a nice breakfast, celebrate who you are…this one is a veggie omelet with mixed greens and berries…garnished with slivered almonds, parsley, paprika, coriander, and black pepper…

Upward life

Whatever our state of health, whatever the condition of our life, there is always new natural health and adaptiveness waiting for us. What dense fog or deep wood holds you back from new light, from new life, right now…can you name and begin to ascend from it? The work of lifelong progressivity is an essential aspect of the HumanaNatura technique of Natural Living. Learn more about it at About HumanaNatura.

Less is more

We ascend into nature and are made smaller – only a part of the world and not a world ourselves – even as we are enlarged and overflow from our journeying…

Low-salt strategies

The U.S. Institute of Medicine (IOM) recently released a report encouraging new polices to reduce salt consumption, based on research suggesting that a 35% reduction in U.S. salt intake would save 90,000 lives each year. One IOM member likened the need to reduce current salt consumption to that of trans fats. Based on the report, Harvard University and The Culinary Institute of America have jointly published a list of personal strategies to reduce daily salt intake, including greater vegetable consumption and use of flavorful herbs. Learn more about the IOM report and specific salt reduction strategies at Get The Salt Out.

Evening hikes

With the full moon coming, each passing day is an opportunity for evening walks and moonlit hikes. Beginning perhaps after an early supper, time outdoors right now offers the refreshing light of late afternoon, a chance for dramatic sunset views, and the opportunity of the rising full moon. Daily walking and time in nature are key elements of the HumanaNatura Personal Health Program. We would  encourage you to learn more about this program and to find your own personal path between the natural and human worlds.
