REBIRTH, RENEWAL, REJUVENATION

Happy Father's Day to All of You!

This month is particularly exciting for me because my plans take me to Colorado at the end of the month where I will have the opportunity to spend time with my sons, their wives and their fantastic children - yes, I have five grandchildren! (They call me 'Mimi') We're planning to camp in the mountains one night, ride horses and make every moment a Kodak moment. We are fortunate to have a Whole Foods market nearby to enjoy locally grown watermelons, Zico Coconut Water and Zevia sodas.

I am thrilled to announce my book, The Magic of Facial Exercise, has been published and is available to you, our readers. This book has 300 pages of articles - it is all about natural beauty.  CLICK HERE to order your SIGNED copy now.

Breast Healthy

New research shows that eating a few organic raw mushrooms and drinking green tea daily may likely alleviate the incidence of breast upsets.  Women in China have less breast cancer than we do here because their diet is based mostly on vegetables, a little fish and certainly green tea.

LUSCIOUS LIPS REVIEW

Wear sunglasses year round - even on cloudy days and make certain you use sunblock no matter what the weather!

Don't forget your hat!

Karen Collins, RD, a registered dietitian and nutrition advisor says..." only about 10% of all cancers are due to genetics.  The remaining 90% are related to diet, weight and exercise...smoking...and/or environmental factors."

Did you know that sleeping on a flat pillow may cause under eye puffiness? You can elevate the headboard with old books that are at least one inch thick and find a thicker, more dense pillow (I still love my buckwheat pillows and always take them with me when I travel).  Lumping several soft pillows together will not produce the desired effect.

"I've had [a] face-lift, eye job and all that stuff. It didn't help me one bit. It didn't get me happier or make me look particularly younger" - Kathy Griffin to Fitness magazine.

Drink a warm to hot beverage with your meal to lessen the occurrence of congealing fat and oily stuff slowing digestion.

 "Fructose will make you fat!

A review out of Johns Hopkins concluded that fructose metabolism by the brain increases food intake, contributing to obesity and type 2 diabetes. It all has to do with signaling pathways in the brain—glucose decreases food intake, while fructose increases it."

Bad Circulation?

Having bad circulation is more than just dealing with cold feet and hands. Its a sign that your heart is trying hard to spread blood around the body. Take this as warning sign that you need more physical activity. Walk for at least 15 minutes a day, fast enough to keep your heart rate up, and you should sleep better and have better circulation. 

Ginkgo Biloba dilates blood vessels and improves circulation.  It can enhance romance after using it only two weeks.  It can be very effective for both men and women.

Is Stress Really Bad for Your Health?

Yes, stress is detrimental for your good health because it produces certain hormones in your body.  When cortisol is produced your immune system is compromised until the stress is alleviated or has passed. 

Chronic stress means that your immune system stays suppressed which means your body is susceptible to infection and dis-ease…This can mean your body easily catches a cold or flu; other conditions worsened by chronic stress are digestive problems, obesity, poor memory and of course, cardiovascular disease.  Relieving stress with exercise will improve your mood, creating a more calm and supportive environment.  So get out there and walk 30 minutes each day to feel better.  Remember, exercise is the Fountain of Youth.
