Welcome cool days of September! The familiar feeling of fall is in the air as the glorious warm summer days are fading quietly into the past. The kids are heading back to school and our daily work commute time is about to be doubled because of stopped busses, school patrols, and thousands of public school employees headed back to work after a long summer vacation. All in all, our lives are about to be filled with yet another round of unprecedented non-stop activity. While the kids are getting busy with school, all of the parents are gearing up to play the roles of chauffer, coach, tutor, mom, dad, cook, maid, audience, and money tree. On top of your list of activities, this month we are going to show you how to save the earth! At Genisoy we believe in healthy minds and bodies, and our mission is to help as many people as we can live healthier, happier lives. Now, as the days begin to cool and the colors turn from green to brown, we also want people to remember how important it is to make sure we are taking care of our great planet, and making sure that each summer is greener than the last. We believe that when the earth is healthier, so are we. What we consume comes from the earth, and in this month’s Live Better Newsletter we are going to help you see how important it is for you to stay healthy and how your health is affected by how you treat the planet. It is vitally important we all do what is in our power to keep the earth strong and healthy. We’re going to show you how you can do your part and make a difference not only in your own life, but in the lives of others by paying attention to this great planet we call Earth.

 There are major health consequences that arise from soil contamination. There are many ways we come into contact with our dirt, but it’s important to be careful because some of them can have some very serious consequences. Sometimes the dirt in our own back yard can contain materials that are reason for concern. Many soil contaminates can be readily found in places where we come in direct contact including our back yards, parks, school playgrounds, and golf courses. Other ways we come into contact with dangerous contaminants are through our drinking water and through the inhalation of soil contaminants that have vaporized. Many of the contaminants to which we are exposed may have serious effects. Many soil contaminants including pesticides, lead, mercury, chromium, and other hard to read chemicals like cyclodienes, Organophosphates, carbamates and chlorinated solvents can have some very serious side effects if given a chance. Over-exposure to these toxins have been linked to higher incidences of Leukemia, liver disease, developmental problems, brain damage, neurological ailments, neuromuscular blockage, headache, nausea, fatigue, eye irritation, skin rash and depression of the central nervous system. All of these toxins have a major effect on our ecosystem, which in turn again affects our bodies. Chemicals that affect the life-cycles of the smallest microorganisms and agricultural lands can lead to devastating results all the way up the food chain…all the way up to our dinner tables. If you are concerned about the dirt in which you play and want more information on whether or not your soil is safe, contact your local government. Let’s all work together to be soil-safe and keep our dirt clean. Don’t forget to stock up on healthy snacks for the kids to pack up and take to school.

 There is a lot of debate going on in a lot of political circles as to the current condition of our planet. Frankly we’re not experts on global warming and most of our staff probably hasn’t a clue how big their carbon footprint is. What we do know is the importance of what goes into our bodies, and how the condition of our air, soil and water has a profound effect on our bodies. Therefore we feel a strong sense of responsibility to take good care of the resources we have, and to help insure that the soil from which we get our soy products remains as pure as it can be. Whatever side of the political fence of “going green” you reside, we think there are ways we can all work together to keep our planet cleaner and greener not only for us, but for the next generation. Remember, what you eat comes from the seas and the soils, and even the condition of the air has a profound effect on what goes into our farm fields and oceans. We want our natural resources kept pure so that our bodies can be pure. Here are some terrific (and easy) ways you can make a difference. Take some time this month to make these practices a part of your healthy lifestyle. Try compact fluorescent bulbs: these bulbs have come way down in price ($2 - $3) and typically last three times longer than a traditional incandescent bulb. Get a programmable thermostat: programming the temperature in your home to raise and lower while you are away will dramatically reduce your heating and cooling bills and make a big difference in energy savings. Adjust your water heater: Simply lowering your hot water heater thermostat a few degrees can save you anywhere from $20 – $50 a year. Change the way you drive and maintain your vehicles: Drive in a manner that saves gas. Car pool. Plan your trip ahead of time and make sure you are always traveling the shortest distances possible to get you where you need to go. Keep your tires properly inflated and engine properly tuned. Exercise! Kill a few tasks all at once, and instead of taking the car, ride your bike, walk or jog to the store for those little items. Stay closer to home: We bet that there are a lot of really fun things you haven’t done right in your own back yard. Find a few of them instead of traveling cross-country. It will help support you local economy at the same time. Reuse and Refill: All of those plastic water bottles and up to a lot of plastic consumption. Get bottled water from your local water store and reuse those little plastic water bottles! Save Some Water: Use low-flow faucets, showerheads, and toilets. Every little bit helps. Start a compost pile. Put all of your organic waste into a compost pile. This will keep our landfills from filling up and will provide you with some valuable fertilizer! Buy Local: If possible, buy foods that come from your local farms. Recycle: There are probably many things you are throwing away that can be recycled. Virtually almost everything can be recycled, but make sure at a minimum you recycles your newspapers, plastics, and metals! Cut out the Junk: Get off junk mail lists and save some trees. If you have email, make sure you do as much of your reading and correspondence as paper-free as possible! Buy products that are made of recyclable materials. Choose Paper: Don’t use plastic grocery bags. Always choose paper bags, or better yet bring your own bags to the store. These tips might seem insignificant, but in reality if all of us work together and make these a part of our lifestyles we can have a profoundly positive impact on our earth.
