"You can literally feel high-quality connections resonate within your body. Dutton's research points to four ways to build high-quality connections. The first is respectful engagement. Be present, attentive, and affirming. The second is to support what the other person is doing. Do what you can to help her succeed. The third is trust. Believe you can depend on this person to meet your expectations, and let it show. The fourth way is play. Allow time simply to goof off, with no particular outcomes in mind." - Barbara Fredrickson, Positivity: Top-Notch Research Reveals the 3 to 1 Ratio That Will Change Your Life (Get the book.)

"Skinless turkey is the answer to the quest for a high-quality protein that will support weight loss while, at the same time, promote health. The fact is that high-quality, low-fat sources of complete protein are hard to find. While animal protein is everywhere in our markets and restaurants, the available options tend to be very high in saturated fat. Turkey, which is also readily available, is low in saturated fat (3 ounces of ham has 5.5 grams of saturated fat; the same amount of skinless turkey breast has less than 0.2 gram of saturated fat)." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Choosing high-quality carbohydrates (including whole grains such as oatmeal, brown rice, barley, rye, and whole wheat) throughout the luteal phase may help decrease PMS mood symptoms. Another nutritional factor in PMS is the effect of refined sugars on the retention of sodium. After a large intake of sugar, insulin increases quickly, which causes sodium and water retention. Symptoms such as swelling in the hands and feet, abdominal bloating, and breast engorgement and tenderness result. Complex carbohydrates are preferred over simple sugars (white sugar, white flour, white rice, etc." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "Panax Ginseng Standardized extract capsules: 200 mg 5% ginseno-sides or 100 mg 10% saponin ginsenoside per day high-quality root: 4-6 g per day Licorice {Glycyrrhiza Glabra). The major active constituent in licorice root is glycyrrhizin." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Because detox programs entail a high-quality diet, hydration, exercise, and proper elimination, blood sugar balance is achieved, normalizing insulin levels, decreasing inflammation, and helping one to lose fat! In Dr. Mark Hyman's Ultrametabolism: The Simple Plan for Automatic Weight Loss, he calls for detoxifying the liver as a critical step to weight loss, pointing to the fact that a healthy functioning liver makes for a healthy functioning metabolism that can properly process sugars and fats." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "Great sources of sulfur include not only eggs, high-quality fish and meat, but also an assortment of vegetables: onions, celery, kale, string beans, soybeans, turnips, radishes, and watercress. A third pathway happens with the help of amino acids that the body can manufacture, and those include glycine, glutamine, arginine, taurine, and ornithine. Of these, glycine is the most important for neutralizing toxins. Even though your body can make glycine, it frequently runs out of available glycine." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "Following is a list of ingredients to look for when seeking a high-quality liver detox product. Liver Cleanse Morning Formula* alpha-lipoic acid artichoke dandelion green tea methionine taurine milk thistle N-acetylcysteine phosphatidylcholine selenium turmeric * This formula provides antioxidant and glutathione support. Evening Formula* Andrographis paniculata Boerhavia diffusa Belleric myrobalan Eclipta alba * This formula increases bile flow." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "Sleep is so critical to overall health and wellness, though, that without high-quality hours of this magical ingredient banked in your busy body, you won't be able to reap all the benefits that this program has to offer. Neither will you be able to rejuvenate and renew your body at the cellular level. For some people, physical exercise is enough to accomplish the task of destressing and relaxing. But for others, practices such as yoga and meditation are more effective. I take yoga classes as well as practice meditation routinely." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Buy a case of high-quality red wine. The Sardinians quaff Cannonau in their Blue Zone. This variety might be hard to find in parts of the United States, but any dark red wine should do. Treat yourself to a "Happy Hour." Set up yours to include a glass of wine, nuts as an appetizer, and a gathering of friends or time with a spouse. Take it easy. A serving or two per day of red wine is the most you need to drink to take advantage of its health benefits. Overdoing it negates any benefits you might enjoy, so drink in moderation." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"Even before Justinian's recodification of Roman law, it already criminalized the wearing of gold-embroidered silk cloaks, any silken item dyed the best quality of purple, and even any imitation of the high-quality purple dye.13 Despite their appetite for the extraordinary fabric—lighter than linen, stronger than wool, practically transparent (Lucan's word is perlucent)—it was not until the late second century that Rome's people learned the source of the fabric." - William Rosen, Justinian's Flea: The First Great Plague and the End of the Roman Empire (Get the book.)

"It is important to use a high-quality supplement of IPg. In addition, it should be noted that the combination of IPg with inositol provides the best results; this combination is patented and available only in Enzymatic Therapy's Cell Forte with IP^ and PhytoPharmica's Cellular Forte with IP^. You can read more about IPg's benefits in L.

"HOW TO USE Fish oil in a high-quality supplement form may be the easiest and safest way to obtain essential omega-3 fatty acids. Standard dosage is 850 mg to 1,800 mg of EPA and DHA daily; this is equivalent to about 200-400 grams of fish weekly. Look for a molecularly distilled supplement manufactured under GMP (good manufacturing practices) to get the full benefit of the fish oils. CONTRAINDICATIONS Methyl mercury collects in the meat of fish, especially mackerel, shark, sword-fish and tuna." - Freedom Press, Natural Cancer Cures: The Definitive Guide to Using Dietary Supplements to Fight and Prevent Cancer (Get the book.)

"Integrative medicine combines treatments from conventional medicine and CAM for which there is some high-quality evidence of safety and effectiveness.

Conscious mind—Ordinary day-to-day awareness in which an individual experiences his or herself and life in general on a "known" basis, such as the thoughts and feelings that a person is typically aware of." - Rick Levy and Lou Aronica, Miraculous Health: How to Heal Your Body by Unleashing the Hidden Power of Your Mind (Get the book.)

"If you don't like soy foods, take a high-quality soy protein powder or capsule. Flaxseed. Another significant dietary source of phytoestrogens to consider is flaxseed. Flaxseed contains lignans, two of which, matairesinol and secoisolariciresinol, are known to have estrogenic activity. Other lignans are modified by intestinal bacteria to form estrogenic compounds. Lignans from plants such as flaxseed are absorbed in the circulation and have both estrogenic and antiestrogenic activity37 much like soy, although to a lesser degree." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Our homeostatic level as well as our inner equilibrium and the possibility of our being in a "high-quality" state depends on this fact. The opposite is true as well: working on the nervous system brings about better vision of ourselves and the entire world. This is the point where the visual reeducation system starts, aimed not only at physical sight strengthening but also at strengthening one's inner and outer perceptions. Mental Stress and Ocular Relaxation Perfect sight can be achieved only through relaxation. —W. H. Bates The great pioneer in objecting to the use of minus lens was Dr." - David De Angelis, The Secret of Perfect Vision: How You Can Prevent and Reverse Nearsightedness (Get the book.)

"There was little awareness that most of this information had been made available to serve commercial interests; one study showed that the focus of 80 percent of Internet sites that address back pain is advertising, and only 12 percent of the sites were rated as "high-quality") The stage could not have been set more perfectly for prescription drug advertising to become a major force in American medicine. And so it did. In 1991 the drug companies spent a paltry $55 million on advertising drugs directly to consumers." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "Such arrangements not only erode the fabric of intellectual inquiry that has fostered so much high-quality clinical research, but also make medical journals party to potential misrepresentation." Practicing doctors count on the articles in medical journals to present and interpre: the complete data, thus providing the "scientific evidence" that they trust to guide their patient care decisions." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.) "My greatest hope is that this book will inspire readers to consider the responsibility of citizenship in this time of excessive medical profiteering and corporate influence, and to take up one of the most important challenges of our time: high-quality health care for all based on the translation of well-ordered science into accurate, unbiased medical information. We have come to a critical juncture, and our future depends on our willingness to act on our country's highest ideals." - John Abramson, Overdosed America: The Broken Promise of American Medicine (P.S.) (Get the book.)

"Only among the affluent were high-quality fresh fruits appreciated. Washington, Jefferson and other landowning plutocrats respected fruits, discussed varieties in postprandial chitchat, and owned slaves that tended their orchards. They were "gentleman farmers," men of independent means who farmed for pleasure, as opposed to the vast majority of farmers who produced food as a means of survival. Until the industrial revolution, the North American population was predominantly rural. People grew their own food. There was little fresh fruit in the summer, and none in the winter." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.) "People in high-rises want high-quality fruits, but those fruits need to be shippable in order to reach them," explains Gary. "Peaches all used to be so fragile that a fingerprint would bruise it. We create varieties that have similar flavor-profiles as the old varieties, but that are bigger, firmer and can ship well. They're not just a bag of water anymore. A peach that'll melt all over you and drip onto your shirt is great, but they can't be sold. Some couldn't be carried across the road without denting. If you want to grow them yourself, that's great." - Adam Leith Gollne, The Fruit Hunters: A Story of Nature, Adventure, Commerce and Obsession (Get the book.)

"Only Natural Pet also has a great selection of high-quality nontoxic pet foods, cat litter, grooming products, dietary supplements, and accessories. But in general, you don't need to spend a lot of money keeping your pet happy and healthy. A nourishing diet and plenty of love usually do the trick. Chapter 8 Green Pediatrics I n recent years, we've seen a new and exciting movement in the field ?of medicine, especially pediatric medicine: the emergence of the "green" doctor. Green pediatricians promote what Dr. Lawrence Rosen calls "a philosophy of whole child care." - Deirdre Imus, Growing Up Green: Baby and Child Care: Volume 2 in the Bestselling Green This! Series (Green This!) (Get the book.)

"We know that to substantially accelerate our growth rates over time, and to keep high-quality expansion going, will require mega-blockbuster products, mega-blockbuster ideas and a strategy that can make mega-growth happen." Added Rick Lane, the executive in charge of Bristol-Myers's international medicines business: "We have one fundamental objective, and that's to grow faster than the other guys." The executives made it clear they had little interest in drugs or other products that did not fit their aggressive plan for growth." - Melody Petersen, Our Daily Meds: How the Pharmaceutical Companies Transformed Themselves into Slick Marketing Machines and Hooked the Nation on Prescription Drugs (Get the book.)

"Food selections and eating habits of many normal persons in the United States are hardly ideal; consequently patients with GI resections should be advised to pay greater attention to a high-quality diet and nutrient adequacy. 2. Ileal Resections Major resections of the ileum create several problems in maintaining nutritional status [130-134]. Figure 7 depicts ileal resection, with the remaining jejunum and colon. Adults consume about 2 liters of fluid per day, and the proximal gastrointestinal tract secretes approximately 7-9 liters of fluid per day into the intestinal tract." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "The majority of evidence comes from epidemiologic data, and the one controlled clinical study conducted to date did not specifically evaluate ALA effects. More high-quality clinical trials are needed that examine the effects of ALA on CVD outcomes before definite conclusions can be drawn regarding its role in the treatment and prevention of heart disease. 2.2. Eicosapentaenoic Acid and Docosahexaenoic Acid The 1970s marked the beginning of an extensive scientific evaluation of the role of n-3 fatty acids in the development of CVD. The seminal studies of Dyerberg et al." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.) "Milk and milk products not only contain lactose, but also are important sources of calcium, riboflavin, and high-quality protein. Some maldigesters may avoid dairy products because of the perception that intolerance symptoms will inevitably follow dairy food consumption. Avoiding dairy products may limit calcium intake and bone density, thus increasing the risk for osteoporosis. Avoidance of milk and milk products is unnecessary because moderate lactose consumption does not usually produce a symptomatic response in maldigesters." - Ann M. Coulston and Carol J. Boushey, Nutrition in the Prevention and Treatment of Disease (Get the book.)

"Good food sources are almonds, honey, beets (including greens), and high-quality protein foods like egg yolks and organ meats (liver, kidney, heart), preferably organic. Herbs high in iron are nettles, dandelion, and alfalfa, as well as kelp." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Not everyone can afford to eat high-quality food in America, and that is shameful; however, those of us who can, should. Doing so benefits not only your health (by, among other things, reducing your exposure to pesticides and pharmaceuticals), but also the health of the people who grow the food as well as the people who live downstream and downwind of the farms where it is grown. Another important benefit of paying more for better-quality food is that you're apt to eat less of it." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"I strongly recommend that you use high-quality probiotics that contain large numbers of viable organisms. The amount of organisms in the probiotics, and the quality of their ability to adhere to the gut wall, are essential to their efficacy. Although products with higher numbers of organisms and better adherence quality cost more, the expense is worth the gain in this particular class of supplements, because they appear to produce superior clinical results. When taking probiotics, it's important to support their action by first eliminating yeast-proliferating foods, and reactive foods." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "My general recommendation: one to two high-potency, high-quality probiotic capsules, or the equivalent in a powdered form, per day, depending upon age, size, and other treatments and indications. TIER TWO SUPPLEMENTS These supplements are appropriate for a very large percentage of the 4-A patient population. Most 4-A kids take many, or most, of these supplements, at least temporarily. Some of the supplements are in the second tier because they are either not as important for most kids as the first tier supplements, or just may not be introduced until a later time." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.) "This is a relatively common practice among integrative medical practitioners, because it ensures that patients will receive high-quality, standardized supplements. There are available to patients supplements carefully designed to improve the function of the key neurological, immunological, gastrointestinal, and metabolic systems I explain in this book. These supplements are not intended to treat autism, ADHD, asthma, and allergies, but the functional support they provide may be appropriate for your child." - Kenneth Bock, Healing the New Childhood Epidemics: Autism, ADHD, Asthma, and Allergies: The Groundbreaking Program for the 4-A Disorders (Get the book.)
