A golden October
Your October issue was an absolute gold mine! I particularly enjoyed your article on kombucha (“The Health Buzz on Kombucha“). I knew it was good for me, but couldn’t quite articulate my fungus fascination to anyone else. Also, I appreciated the Halloween candy alternatives (“Trick or Treat“). I can’t wait to try the chamomile eye soak from “A Day for You.” And for Thanksgiving, my mom and I plan to make the Roasted Yams, Squash, and Chestnuts with Hazelnut Topping recipe featured in “Upper Crust.” Thanks so much for the comprehensive and trustworthy content.

Warm water and lemon
Your editor in chief mentioned in the October Editor’s Note that her personal goal was to start each morning by drinking a little warm water with lemon. How much water, and how much lemon? What has it done for you? I’m intrigued!

Our October 2006 story “A Day for You” mentions this Ayurvedic detox treatment. Warm water speeds the process, and lemon promotes salivation, which is the first step in digestion. I usually just squeeze a quarter lemon in my mug of water.
