ALTERNATIVES For Health is very happy in their new location… For those of you who don’t know, Alternatives For Health has been in business for over 10 years – first as a direct marketing company of healthcare products and then, for the last three years, as a retail shop and treatment center. We were located in Brimfield basically as a treatment center when Diane Nuckle called to tell me she was closing Earth Spirits. I was devastated and felt strongly that the herbs and health related products should not leave the area. We had a very small space then but tried to add in the products as best we could. Then we began the search for a new location. On July 1st we opened at 426 Main Street in Sturbridge with much more room, great parking and visibility. It was the best decision we could have made. We watch our business steadily grow and are so thankful to you, our customers who have become our friends. We have two treatment areas for Massage, Reiki, Ear Coning, IET, Teasel Lyme Treatments, and Ionizing Foot Detox treatments. There is a class- room area. We are still trying to work on getting the classes where we would like them to be. We also use these areas for Psychic readers, book sign- ings and other gatherings. Our product line includes: Bulk Herbs; Teas; Bath Products; Homeopathic remedies for children, adults and pets; Flower Essences; Essential Oils, Herbal Extracts and Formulas; Water Filtration Systems; Soaps; Incense; Supplies and Gifts to name a few. Some of the companies we carry are: Herb Pharm, Boiron, Hyland, Organix South Neem, New Chapter, Blue Bonnet, Gaia, FES, Bach, Australian Bush, Nature’s Alchemy, Aromatherapy International, and Renew Life. If you don’t see it, we will try to find it for you. So Stop in and check us out. We’ll be so happy to meet you! Cold & Flu 15% OFF Remedies with this coupon through February

(NAPS) If, like many people, you’ve begun to wonder whether eating sugar affects health, there may be good news for you. First, you’re far from alone. Almost every- one enjoys sugars and the occasional sweet treat. In fact, a fondness for sweet taste is pres- ent from birth and liking sweet tastes is in part determined by your genes. Next, you should know that there are many types of sugars and the terms used to describe sugars can be confusing. Sugars are carbohy- drates, which serve as the main energy source for the body.They occur both naturally and as ingredients in many foods. The most familiar sugar is sucrose (what’s called “table sugar”), which is made of two simple sugars, fructose and glucose. Fruits and vegetables naturally contain fructose and glucose. Other sugars used in foods include agave nectar,corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, honey, invert sugar, lactose (that is, milk sugar) and other syrups. Research suggests that the body does not distinguish between sugars added to foods (the sugar found in a sweet roll) and naturally occurring sugars (the sugar found in fruit, fruit juice or milk). Regardless of the name or source, sugars contribute about the same 4 calories per gram to the diet as do protein and complex carbohydrates. Health professionals recommend that peo- ple who consume sugar do so in moderation as part of a healthful diet that provides the appropriate amount of daily calories. For peo- ple trying to manage their weight, regular exercise and keeping an eye on calories are essential—and that includes calories from dietary fats, protein and carbohydrates such as sugar.People who are very physically active burn more calories, so they can add more calo- ries to their diet in any form they choose— from dairy products, meats, vegetables, fruits and the occasional sweet treat. To sum it up, it’s generally best to enjoy all EMERSON REALTORS things in moderation, including sugar.

Grand Cherokee Overwhelmingly Selected Official Winter Vehicle of New England

It's been so tough that even the annual winter awards judging event for the New England Motor Press Association had to be cancelled due to, well, winter. You know it's a bad winter when a hardy group of automotive journal- ists gets cowed by the weather, espe- cially when we're driving the very vehicles designed to laugh in the face of all that winter can throw our way here in New England. Fortunately it didn't stop us for long and we were able to gather for judg- ing on a recent Saturday in Middleborough, Mass., a town prob- ably best known for once being the home of General Tom Thumb. Fittingly, some will accuse auto- motive journalists of being mental midgets, but in this case our collec- tive brains made the right choice in the selection of the 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee as the Official Winter Vehicle of New England.
