of varieties. Tis means there’s less diversity happening in the field. Diversity helps with regeneration and healthy soils. Producing the same crops over and over means there’s no crop rotation and no diversity happening, leading to degraded soils and deforestation to produce more of the same crop.” Egan adds that diets that are over-


reliant on just a few food sources like corn, wheat, rice and soy threaten the Earth and can lead to food insecurity. “Tink of it as risk management with a financial portfolio: We have a diversified portfolio of foods available to feed a growing population, but as the climate warms, extreme weather events threaten yields because lack of fresh water and unhealthy soil threaten the planet and, ultimately, food production.” Eating food that is as close as to its


original state as possible is better for the planet. “The more food is processed, the more resources it took to get it to market,” Prezkop notes.


Cut Food Waste Prezkop says approximately 40 percent of the food produced globally is lost while still on the farm or further up the supply chain. “When food is wasted, we’re not just throwing away food, but everything it took to produce that food is also wasted—the water, the fertilizer and the land.”

A recent WWF report entitled Driven


To Waste cites new data indicating that food waste contributes to approximately 10 percent of all greenhouse gas emissions—nearly twice the emissions produced annually by all the cars in the U.S. and Europe. Egan suggests using a shopping list;


impulse buys can be forgotten and are prone to spoiling. Keeping food visible by putting fruits and vegetables front and center ensures they won’t be forgotten. Leſtovers can be kept from languishing by designating a section of the refrigerator for food to eat first or a day of the week to eat leſtovers for dinner. “You can freeze just about anything,” Egan says, from leſtover bread to cheese, which can be shredded before frozen. Even scrambled eggs can be poured into a freezer container to use later. (For


are creating solutions to divert food waste from the landfills. Keep Austin Fed, a nonprofit comprised of mostly volunteers, helps neighbors experiencing food insecurity by redistributing wholesome, nutritious, surplus food from any food-permitted business. Volunteers pick up leſtover food from urban gardens, rural farms, grocery stores and caterers serving area tech firms. All prepared food accepted and redistributed is handled by licensed food handlers. Executive Director Lisa Barden says that Keep Austin Fed redistributed 982,428 pounds of food, or the equivalent of 818,695 meals, in 2021, thus keeping it out of the waste stream. Similarly missioned organizations


exist nationwide. FoodRescue.us, with 40 locations in 20 states, provides assistance and even a dropoff/pickup app for people starting local groups. Since its founding in 2011, it has provided 85 million meals and kept 109 million pounds of excess food out of landfills. Its website offers a potent plea: “Fight Hunger. Help the Planet. Be the Rescue.”

BENEFITS OF HYPERBARIC OXYGEN THERAPY O


ne of the best-kept secrets in medicine is Hyperbaric Ox- ygen Terapy (HBOT). Here,


you breathe pure oxygen in a pressur- ized chamber. Injured or damaged cells replicate using an eight fold increase in a patient’s own stem cells during this treat- ment. Te pressure pushes oxygen into the plasma to reach injured areas anywhere in the body. HBOT has proven effective for


COVID-19 and its long haulers, anti-ag- ing issues like cognitive fog, dementia, and Alzheimer’s. It also treats people who’ve experienced physical and concussive trau- ma. “It can return these veterans to their


families free of PTSD and other injuries,” says Raymond Crallé, a Registered Physical Tera- pist who leads the team. “We can help people who think their golden years aren’t so golden.” Te outpatient Delray Beach facility


offers an effective combination of HBOT and physical therapy. Teir hyperbaric chambers are clear acrylic, preventing claustrophobia. Chambers include an en- tertainment center. Blankets and pillows keep users comfortable. Professionally trained staff are HBOT proficient in safety procedures. “Tere are 14 Medicare and


insurance-approved conditions. We also treat stroke patients, profes- sional athletes, and others seek- ing wellness goals,” says Crallé. Crallé has been involved in the breakthrough use of HBOT


and in many published studies. He has worked with children and adults and par- ticipated in an HBOT study for Veterans. Crallé was recognized by his peers as a pio- neer in the field of hyperbaric medicine. Contact Oxygen Rescue Care Centers
