ASTORIA — Astoria Co-op
Grocery hopes to get your
blood pumping with its next
Beers to Your Health month-
ly food and wellness talk on
Thursday, March 10. The
circulatory system is import-
ant, and a local naturopath
will teach attendees why. Dr.
Tracy (rÀing¶s talk, ³Head-
to-Toes Circulatory Health,”
will start at 7 p.m. The free
event will take place at the
Fort George Lovell Show-
room, located at 426 14th St.;
all ages are welcome.
³This is a great time of
year for a circulatory review
since we¶re moving out of the
cold and dark; we can plan
ways to boost things we¶re
doing for our circulatory sys-
tem,” Dr. (rÀing said. ³3eople
might not be moving as much,
and with the passing of that
sedentary, heavy-food time of
year, we want to start a clear-
ing process. This should be a
refreshing talk to get people
excited about movement, ac-
tivity and health.”
All cells in the body need
oxygen and nutrients as well
as waste removal. This is an
important role of the circula-
tory system. The heart, blood
vessels, lymphatic system and
blood itself work together to
service the cells of the body.
Using the network of arteries,
veins and capillaries, blood
carries carbon dioxide to the
lungs (for exhalation) and picks
up oxygen. From the small in-
testine, the blood gathers food
nutrients and delivers them to
cells throughout the body.
(rÀing will review this sys-
tem, problems that can affect its
function, and therapeutic ideas
for health and healing. There
are many ways to naturally
boost your circulatory system,
and exercise is one example.
³:hen we move our
muscles, it assists the pump-
ing of blood around the body.

Naturopath Tracy Erfling will talk about
circulatory health March 10 at the Fort
George Lovell Showroom.
Generally we rely on the heart
to do the work, but when we
exercise it helps the whole cir-
culatory system function more
smoothly,” (rÀing said.
(rÀing graduated from
the National College of Nat-
ural Medicine in 2000. She
has been practicing natural
medicine in Astoria for 15
years (at a shared of¿ce with
Astoria Chiropractic) and
works at the Clatsop Coun-
ty Health Department doing
family planning. Outside of
medicine (rÀing enMoys yoga,
swimming, dog walking, the
occasional beer, and shopping
at the Co-op.
