Healthy Summer Foods

Healthy Eating For Summer

Traditional Chinese Medicine or TCM is all about balance. In this ancient system, the key to health is to move through the world in such a way that our bodies can remain in homeostasis, in balance. This idea connects to sleep patterns, what we eat and ultimately the flow of Qi, or energy, throughout the body. For that reason, eating healthy in the summertime, according to TCM, is all about using cooling foods to balance out how hot it is outside. In other words, we can find homeostasis from the inside out.

The best foods to eat varies with geography. If you live in Vermont where where summer days are long, but not very hot and the nights get really cool, incorporate more neutral or even warming fruits and vegetables into your summer smorgasbord. These fruits and vegetables can include most varieties of squash, especially pumpkin, butternut and acorn squash, lentils and legumes, whole grains like brown rice and root vegetables like beets, potatoes and parsnips.

Recap of American Society of Acupuncturists Conference

Jonathan Fleming and Kerry Boyle were honored to represent Vermont at the American Society for Acupuncturists’ national conference in Washington D.C. the weekend of June 1st-3rd. They were there to meet with Vermont legislators to ask for support for two bills. They had the privilege of meeting with staff from Senator Bernie Sanders’ office.  Acupuncture is currently covered by the VA and both of our offices are accepting new patients. For more information about how to obtain acupuncture services through the VA:

This bill will ensure that U.S. veterans have access to acupuncture, which is a safe, cost-effective, and non- pharmacological treatment option for pain that can help decrease the need for opioids, improve mental health and lower suicide rates.
