Hollywood's Veggie Rx For Revelers!

                          Eat This Before Drinking! 

Hollywood loves a movie that involves drinking.
The Hangover, Leaving Las Vegas, Barfly, etc.
What Hollywood doesn't love or won't tell you 
is what happens when you regular Joe or Main Street Sue
drinks too much?
Yes, we're talking about hangovers.

No, not getting over one, but what about avoiding the damn things in the first
place. 
Well, despair no more, your prayers have been answered. 
That's right, one of our most trusted and dogged researchers says that
if you eat some asparagus (an hour) before hitting the bar, it
will help you avoid the nausea, the stomach upset and the headaches.

Asparagus? 
Yes, it contains vitamins, amino acids and minerals that whisk most of the alcohol
out of your system, before it does damage to your head, stomach and other
body parts.
And for those who can't stomach steamed (and lightly buttered) asparagus, 
there's asparagus extract (available online or at health-food stores).
But there's a catch, the catch: you should start the extract some time 
(like a week or two) before drinking. 

Good Luck!

Reality Star's Rx For Using Electronic Equipment!

                            The Dangers of Cell Phones! 

Whether you think it's true or not, there is a lot of talk about cell phones
causing great harm to your health.
Harm in what way? As in brain cancer.
Yes, although the news isn't as loud as it was say--10 yrs. ago,
there are still some studies that suggest that talking on your cellphone 
for hrs. each day, may increase your odds of getting brain cancer.
And if you remember Senator Ted Kennedy from Massachusetts,
it was rumored that he spent hrs. on his cell phone for a period of
20 yrs. And how did the great senator die?
Cancer of the brain.
And today, who do we see spending hrs. on their cellphones? 
The Kardashians!

That's right, the rating leaders of reality T.V. always seem to be on their
cellphones, and if you too, are like Kim, Kris and Khloe and don't plan
on stopping, then you may want to head to the Supermarket or your kitchen cabinet 
and look for Rosemary. 
That's right, the herb that's used to make baked or grilled chicken taste better,
may help protect your brain from all of that radiation.
(Also helpful to frequent fliers, who are exposed to the wands being used
by airport security).

Researchers tested a number of natural products against the effects of
radiation and the herb Rosemary came out on top.
Now, you may remember rosemary being used as a way to keep hair
luxurious and thick, but starting today you must do more than apply it to
your hair, you have to start eating and drinking it.

That's it, and if you need help coming up with ways to cook with it or make it into
a tea, head to google.com and type Cooking with Rosemary or making rosemary tea
in the search bar.
Hope this helps, radiation poisoning isn't something you want to play around with.
And lastly, please pass along this vital info to Kim K. via Twitter,
Thank -You!

Good Luck!

A Young Star's Rx For Living Longer!

                              One Easy Secret For Living A Long Life! 

Is there anyone out there interested in living till 100?
If you answered yes, how do you plan on doing it?
With a strict vegetarian diet? Hours of exercise each day?
Or do you come from stock (parents or grandparents) that lived
into their 90's or beyond?

Well, if a strict diet and exercise program doesn't appeal
to you, you may want to try the secret that one of Hollywood's top stars
is using.
The secret: Volunteering 
And the star: Jennifer Lawrence.

You may have read, seen or heard that Ms. Lawrence spent Christmas Eve
in her hometown of Louisville Ky. visiting with sick children.
A lot of stars who work constantly much prefer to spend their off time
at a swanky spa or skiing in Telluride or Aspen Co.
But not Ms. Lawrence, and if she keeps it up (volunteering) it may help her
reach 80, 90 or even 100 more easily.
How you ask?
Volunteering just 2 hrs.a wk. at an animal shelter or veteran's hospital
may be more beneficial for you than it is for the people (or animals) you tend to.

How so?
It (volunteering) helps you keep aches and pain at bay.
(you don't focus on your achy knees or bad back)
it lowers blood pressure (meaning less risk of heart attack and stroke)
it boosts mood levels (no depression or blue moods)
and it may even help keep you at a healthy weight, (especially if you
walk and play with animals).

But wait, there's more...
Volunteering also boosts intelligence and your compassion for others.
And new research says that problem children (especially boys)
may be able to turn their lives and moods around with volunteering and
not medications and/or stays in detention centers.

So, if you're one who wants to make it to 90 or more yrs. of age,
and veganism and cross-fit aren't options you want to employ, then
get out there and volunteer.
It's working for J Law.

And one last tip...if you're really serious about living till 100,
head on over to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type The 101 Best Ways To
Make It To 100 in the search bar. Download it and get started on living forever.
And make sure to read the chapter on how stars like Clint Eastwood, Cameron Diaz,
Tom Selleck and Cloris Leachman are eating and exercising their way to long
and prosperous lives. 

Good Luck!

Fox's Hit Show Rx For Youthful Skin!

                      A Face Mask For More Youthful Skin! 

Are you a fan of the hit show "The Mindy Project?" 
It's one of the few hits on the Fox network and it's all
about a career woman (Mindy Kaling) trying to juggle
a demanding career and a complicated love life.

And if you're not that familiar with the back story of the show,
it was created by Mindy Kaling, a Boston native of Indian descent.
And like other superwomen in Hollywood, Tina Fey and Lena Dunham,
Ms. Kaling created and now writes most of the episodes.

But enough about Mindy's work ethic, this post is all about her skin.
Caramel colored and silky smooth.
And even though we don't have proof as to how she gets her skin to 
look like that, we'll take a guess.
The guess: Turmeric powder. 
You see, turmeric is a spice that's used in India like pepper is used here in
the U.S. and in one part of Northern India Alzheimer's is nonexistent.
That's right, turmeric has the ability to improve blood flow and
keep inflammation at bay and that's why people in Northern India only 
see about 5% of the population get Alzheimer's.

Well, some enterprising soul decided that since it works wonders on one's insides, 
perhaps it can do the same for the skin, and Voila, the Turmeric face mask. 
Again, we're not sure if this is the secret formula Mindy Kaling is using, 
but we thought we'd share it with you anyway.
So, if you have a free weekend or weekday, mix a tsp. of turmeric powder,
with a Tbs of plain yogurt and a tsp. of dark honey. Mix well, lie back 
in a comfortable chair and apply to this mixture to your face and neck.
Leave on for 15 to 20 mins. and then rinse your face and neck with warm water.
Do this on your day off, just to make sure there's no severe reaction like redness 
or hives and if it goes well, do it 2 to 3 times a week for a month or two
and then once a wk. for maintenance.

That's it--a low cost way to turn back the clock on your skin. 
Oh, and make sure to add some turmeric to soups, stews, egg dishes,
chicken dishes, stir fries, salads or tea (add a tsp. to a mug of boiling water)
You don't want a face that looks 10 or more yrs. younger and a mind that
can't remember the days of the week or where you left your car keys.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Rx For Buying An Engagement Ring!

                 Buying Engagement Rings! 

In less than a week, it will be a new year. And with the changing of times, 
that sometimes means there will be unions.
And the unions we're talking about are marriages.
And like a lot of folks, stars also talk about and plan out marriages.
One such star--Liam Payne.

It's rumored that Mr. Payne of the top selling pop group, "One Direction" 
was seen at a jewelry store looking at engagemant rings for his lady love--
Sophia Smith.
And if you're a guy or a couple who's looking to buy an engagement ring,
don't do what stars do.
And what is that? 
Go all out and purchase a ginormous ring.

That's right, many stars can afford that 10,000, 25, 000 or even 100,000
dollar ring, but for the rest of us "regular folk" 500 to 2,000 dollars
is more than enough. 
Why?
Researchers interviewed couples who were on the verge of divorce and
asked them about their spending habits, their sex lives, their parenting 
styles, everything. And then one researcher decided to ask about courting,
you know- how long they waited to have sex, did they talk about
kids, did they live together before marrying and their engagement rings.
Engagement rings?

Yes, the researchers say that couples who went overboard (spending-wise)
on the ring, were more likely to break up.
Why?
Because buying an expensive ring means you're values are misplaced
and you weren't in the marriage for the right reasons.
But, those who paid $500, $ 1,000 or $ 2,000 place higher value on
non-financial things , like shared values and a commitment to working
together when things do get tough.
So, if you're one to believe in things like this and you're planning on 
getting married, remember, don't follow the example of Liam Payne, 
follow your own lead and get a small, inexpensive ring. 

Good Luck!

The Apprentice's Rx Just For Women!

            Ladies, Eat More Burgers!

Ladies, are you fans of the NBC show, 'The Apprentice?"
Well, some just like to watch because of the celebrities and
the fights they get into. And there are just as many who won"t
watch because of the host--The Donald, aka Donald Trump.

Whichever camp you"re in doesn'the really matter,
but what does matter is that you eat Mr. Trump's favorite food.
What is it? Cheeseburgers!

And why should you eat more cheeseburgers, you ask?
Because, they help you think faster and increase your
ability to concentrate.
You see, women menstruate and that lowers iron levels,
and lower levels of this vital mineral can result in
Fuzzy thinking and an inability to concentrate.
And if you're postmenopausal, you'll also need a boost in
iron levels.

So ladies, are you showing signs of being a scatterbrain
and just not interested in work or conversations.
Well, become more like The Donald (and Gayle King)
and eat more cheeseburgers.
Important tip, skip the fries, the buns and the soft drinks,
These things will only deplete your iron levels, increase
blood sugar levels and increase your weight.
And lastly, if you're like Ellen D. (a vegetarian) and not
Donald Trump, eat more spinach and lentils.
Both contain iron and are plant-based.

The new season of The Apprentice starts Jan. 4th. on NBC.

Good Luck!

Are you a fan of the hit ABC show--"Nashville?"
Well, there are a lot of fans and one of the reasons for the

And although she's been around for almost 2 decades now,

But that's okay, she continues to get work and to stay at the top
of her game- (in the looks department)
And to keep those god looks, Ms. Britton uses a drink to help
her achieve that goal.

What type of drink?
A drink made with water, lemon slices, a packet of Emergen-C Lite
and probiotic powder.
She has this most mornings and the combination of ingredients
helps boost immunity (to fend off colds), eases bloat and revs up
the metabolism.
And if you're in good health and want a boost like Ms. Britton,
take this drink first thing in the morning as well.
Look for Emergen-C Lite at drug stores and Ultra Probiotic
Complex online at GNC.com. ($ 35 for 25 packets).

Female Rapper's Favorite Food Rx To Prevent Colds!

                Avoid Colds Like Nicki! 

If you caught today's edition of Ellen, then you're well aware that
her guest was the top selling female rapper.
If you're still not sure, it was Nicki Minaj!

And just as some people study and keep track of weather, or oil prices
or stocks, we pay special attention to foods, and how they can improve
your health.
And one of the foods we're talking about is Nicki Minaj's
favorites' ...what is it?
Pickles.

That's right, Ms. Minaj said in an interview that she shouldn't eat so 
many, but she can't stop herself.
Well, Ms. Minaj should avoid a lot of pickles if her weight and blood pressure
are being affected.
Pickles do have a lot of salt, but if you're blood pressure is in the normal
range, then continue eating them. Why?
Eating just 1/2 cup of unpasteurized fermented vegetables,
like brined pickles, sauerkraut or himchi-daily strengthens your ability
to fight off the common cold and other viruses in as little as 2 wks. Fermented veggies produce a probiotic that feeds and heals the digestive 
tract lining, encouraging it to produce healthy immune cells.

So, if you're like Ms. Minaj, and you like your pickles and kimchi,
and don't have a weight or blood pressure problem, then by all means-
continue to indulge, your Immune system will thank you. 
Important tip: Look for the word fermented on that jar of pickles
or sauerkraut.

Reality Show's Rx For Making Extra Money This Holiday Season!

                       Make Money Like Snooki!
If you're a regular here at "RedCarpetRxs" then you may remember the post
on Gwyneth Paltrow and her desire to move in on Martha Stewart's territory.

Simply put--Ms. Paltrow is creating her own brand of products to be sold
on her own website. (Goop.com)
This may be work out for Ms. Paltrow considering she has millions
to get it rolling and she has name recognition.
But what about the rest of us mere mortals, what if we make
jewelry? Or knit caps? Or mugs or T-shirts with humorous sayings
on them?
Where do we go?
To Etsy.com, just like Nicole Polizzi, aka Snooki.

As we mentioned about a wk. ago, Etsy.com allows anyone 
with crafting talent to set up a shop and sell their wares and
apparently, Snooki has taken them up on the offer.
Her shop, SnookiShop, opened only about a week ago
and already, everything in her shop has sold out.
Again, it's the name recognition and the fascination with
celebrity.

So, if you're concerned about mounting medical bills, or
mortgage and car payments or you just want to make an extra
$50 to $ 100 each month, and you have some ability with
a sewing or knitting needle or you know how to bedazzle 
T-shirts or jeans, then you must head to Etsy.com and
make it happen.
Hey, if you get started right now, you may be ale to
become the next superseller, just like Snooki.

Good Morning America's Rx To Prevent Weight Gain!

                           George's Rx For Keeping Weight Off! 

In a former post we told you about the healthy habit "Good Morning
America" host has that keeps him fit and trim at age 54.
His habit:
He eats an apple a day.

Called "nature's number one diet pill" the apple if eaten before
a big lunch or dinner, works just like a glass or two of water.
But new research says that to really keeps those pounds at bay, 
make sure it's a green apple.

Why green?

than the red apples. Plus, green apples are rich in nutrients
that stimulate the growth of healthy digestive bacteria that prompt
your body to let go of excess fat.

So, if you've been spending money on diet aids, pills, etc. stop it and
take a page out of the George Stephanopoulos playbook
and have an green apple or two a day.

Hollywood's Rx To Look Thinner Tonight!

                                  Dress Your Way Slimmer! 
With the holidays in full swing that's means a lot of people will be attending 
parties. And if you're the type that's concerned about looking a little heavier
while attending these parties, put those concerns away. 
Why?
A former Hollywood stylist has revealed her secrets for looking
a few pounds thinner. 
Her secrets: 
a) Wear This Type of Material-
What type? One made with ribbed material. Whether it's cotton, wool or even silk,
the fabric's slightly raised vertical lines trigger the eye to move up and down, giving 
the illusion of a narrower body type. And something even more impressive--
Ladies wearing vertical lines can look anywhere from 10 to 20 pounds thinner.
b) Slim Down Your Top-
Top as in torso, and how do you do this? Look for a butterfly shirt.
A loosely cut shirt that just skims your torso, so it hides any flaws without
 being too billowy or bulky. Plus, its wider sleeves balance a wider torso, 
making you look thinner. Not sure what a butterfly top is?
Ask the salesperson for help.
c) Choose This Color- 
No, it's not black, but eggplant. Yes, the stuff you use to make that
decadent Italian, (or Greek) dish-can help you look thinner.
Eggplant, just like black, reflects less light, making you appear
smaller. And since it's the holiday season, eggplant will also give
a festive look. 
So, if you're dreading the holidays because of that extra 5, 8 or 10 pounds, 
don't sweat it, but dress it. As in dress your way thinner. 

And if you want more great tips like these, you know...
how to flatten your tummy quickly (with this type of water)
Or how to beat that bloated look (with this spice)
Or how to avoid gassiness (with this beverage)
Or how to stretch your silhouette...

This will be its last yr. on the air.
And if you are a fan, remember--the reruns will play for a
few more months or even yrs.

And if you're a true fan, then we won't have to tell you
that Betty White was the real reason a lot of us watched and enjoyed
it so much.
And there's something else many of you may not about Ms. White
and it has to do with the cold and flu season.

Colds and flus?
Yes, according to a study in the Journal of Medicine,
a positive attitude may do more to keep you flu-free,
even more so than zinc, vitamin C, and a "clean" diet.

And when it comes to positive attitudes, Ms. White 
may have the best.
According to her costars, Ms. White refuses to listen to
any one who says something negative. Be it about a news event,
the president or even another star.
And the article in the JOM, also says that a positive attitude may
also help you live longer.
And if you're not sure this is true, remember Ms. White will be 93
in about 5 weeks.
It can't be diet, according to friends, family and costars, Ms. White
still eats like an American teen. Burgers, hot dogs,
sweets, soft drinks and potato chips.

So, if you want to stay cold and flu-free and avoid the expensive 
vitamins, minerals, teas and foods, be more like Ms. White and change
your attitude.

The Royal Couple's Rx For A Happier Marriage!

                    Simple Solution For More Happiness! 

You may have heard, Prince William and Duchess Kate will be visiting the U.S.
Nothing unusual about that, they visit a lot of countries.
But what may be unusual are the things Will and Kate do to ensure they'll 
still be married 50 yrs. from now.

And those things are...
a) Share a sense of humor-
Couples who joke with one another, watch comedies together and
just be silly around one another are more likely to make their 
marriage or relationship last.
b) Become Friends First-
This may seem foreign to a lot of people, but Will and Kate actually 
met at college, became friends and then started dating.
And all of this took place over a ten-yr. period.
No, meet at a party (or a bar) and then head off to
the nearest bedroom or car (the backseat).
As some people say, a good relationship is like a
well made tomato sauce (or gravy) it needs a lot of time and
attention to really develop into something. Don't treat it
(your relationship) like a microwave meal.
Important tip: This is something Will's mom and dad didn't do. Prince Charles
and Princess Diana.
c) Hit The Sheets-
No, not that way, but you may want to go to bed at the same time.
New research says that women feel higher levels of satisfaction when
their sleep schedules sync up with their partners, and this may be
the real reason Will and Kate may make it last for 40 or more yrs.
Going to bed at the same time fosters intimacy and gives each partner
the opportunity to catch up on the day's event.
So, if you think about Kate's wardrobe or how she's dealing with
morning sickness, you may want to spend some time thinking about
her secrets for success. Marriage success.

And if you want more great tips like these, head on over 
to Amazon.com/ the kindle store and type Will and Kate, The Royal Secrets For
A Long-Lasting Marriage into the search bar.
Download it and get started on your own fairy tale marriage.

Reality Family's Rx For Controlling Weight!

                                  Tech Rx For Your Weight!

You may love them or you may hate them, but one thing you must admire about them-
their ability to stay in the spotlight.
And who are we talking about?
The Kardashians!

That's right, the family that's been able to keep themselves in the
America's consciousness for more than 7 yrs.
And if you don't think there's anything you can learn from the family,
you're wrong, very wrong. 
And the thing one can learn from the Kardashians: Texting for weight control. 

If you're a fan of the show, then you know that the mom and the kids
text a lot.
And most of the texting they do probably doesn't benefit them, but if you're a texter, you can make it work it for you, weight wise. 

Say what?
Yes, instead of using the old and tired method of journaling, use your phone.
How? By sending yourself messages about what you ate, or how much you exercised.
Texting is fast and easy, and the more you do it, the more likely you are to stick
with it, as opposed to keeping a journal , which is time consuming and boring.
And to really keep on top of your diet and exercise plan, subscribe to free daily .
reminders
2 to try--
MUSCHealth.com/weight/weightlosstools/weightmessage.htm or Rednimer.com.
Or go to google.com and type free exercise or free diet apps in the search bar.
And one last tip, make sure not to do all of that texting while driving.
And if you need more help keeping your weight in check this Winter,
head online to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type The Naturally Thin Girl's
Guide To Preventing Winter Weight.

One last important health tip:
Do you make it a habit of throwing out potato peels, or onion skins,
or orange rinds or beet tops?
Well, you may want to stop doing that, why?
One doctor who practices in the U.S. says that may be one of the
reasons why cancer and other diseases are sky high in the U.S.
You see, the doctor grew up poor in China and nothing (food) was thrown out,
and most of his family members are still alive.
But when he moved here, he was shocked to see all of the disease
and suffering in a country as wealthy as the U.S.
And most of it he claims is diet-related, more specifically, cooking vegetables
for 30 or more minutes and not using the vital parts of the fruits and vegetables. 

So, if you want more info on the specifics, like how turnip, beet and carrots tops
can improve your health, or how lemon, lime and orange peels can keep
certain cancers away, make a trip (a virtual trip) over to
Amazon.com/the kindle store and download...see title to the right.
Download it today and get started on a new and improved you.
Give yourself the gift of health this holiday season.

Hollywood Rxs To Prevent Winter Weight Gain!

                       Prevent Winter Gain! 
Hollywood stars are different in a lot of ways, and then they're also similar to
you (regular folks) in a lot of ways.
One way they're similar--They too, have to watch their weight during the Winter 
months. The shorter days, Sun going down at 5:00 pm, endless sweet treats
and the never ending parties.

And if you're also concerned about Winter weight gain, look below 
for some secrets from top trainers, celebrity chefs and nutritionists.
a) Stand Up More-
It may simple enough, but believe it or not, too much sitting makes it harder to lose weight.
A new study out of Europe says that standing for a minute or two every hr. helps
you lose weight and keep it off.
One more tip: Too much sitting can also increase your risk of blood clots,
so get up, stand while talking on the phone and address your coworkers while standing.
b) Eat This Type Of Breakfast-
A breakfast of eggs, mushrooms and a slice or 2 of good quality bread was
thought to be the best breakfast for those who couldn't resist vending
machines and candy. But hold on, there's a new breakfast in town and
women say it's killing their cravings so well, they're losing too much weight. 
The breakfast: A bowl of Barley, some type of dairy (full-fat) cheese or milk 
and a piece of fruit (citrus).
This is the breakfast that's served in parts of Greece and if you travel there,
you won't find too many overweight people. Look for a good type of barley.
Look for Bob's Red Mill.
c) Just Say No To-
Diet soda. The artificial sweeteners in diet soda may actually cause you
to crave more fattening foods. A better option: Make your own soda
with carbonated water and fruit juice or stick to plain water.
d) Don't Be Like Jay- 
Jay Leno that is, and it's skimp on sleep. Jay brags about needing only
4  or 5 hrs. each night, and it may explain his waist and stomach.
Going to bed later and getting up earlier (for just 5 nights can really throw 
off metabolism. So, stick to a schedule and make sure you sleep
between 7 to 8 hrs. each night.
That's it- four great tips to combat Winter weight.
And if you want more tips like...
* how to control yourself at a Christmas party.
* how to look 10 pounds thinner in that little black dress. 
* Eat this favorite snack to prevent Winter gain
* Eat more of this food to help you eat less at lunch or dinner
   (Hint: it's not only used to get over a cold)
Plus, much more, just head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and 
type The Naturally Thin Girl's Guide To Preventing Winter Gain

And for those who want even more great info on alternative healing,
look for another E-document, the title-see below.
Learn how leaves, vegetable tops,  fruit and vegetable peels and rinds can 
lower cancer rates, keep eyesight strong, prevent heart disease and 

help you live an extra 5 to 8 yrs. longer.

The Seasonal Fashion Craze To Make More Money!

                               The Christmas Sweater Phenomenon! 

Do have dreams of becoming the next Michael Kors or Besty Johnson?
Well, it took them yrs. to achieve their success, yrs. and you may not
have or want to devote that amount of time to becoming the
"next big thing in fashion." 

And that's that's okay, according to a story in Businessweek magazine,
Christmas sweaters are making a lot of people rich.
You know, those hideous looking things that only make an
appearance for 4 to 6 weeks a yr.
One guy placed professional football team logos on the sweaters, 
and is closing in on the million dollar mark.
A woman, concerned about the cost of college for her two kids,
stopped selling old albums, jewelry, dishes on Ebay and decided
to sell only Christmas sweaters, long story short-- she not only put her 2
kids through school, she also quit her full time job.

Hey, it may be too late for you to capitalize this yr. but
if you start planning now, (maybe a calender of ugly sweaters,
or a youtube page devoted to the worst looking Christmas sweaters
or make Christmas sweaters for pets) and you too, can fund your retirement,
take trips to exotic places or just make enough to stop the constant worrying
about bills, tuition, mortgages, etc.
It's up to you.

Good Luck!

American Music Awards Thanksgiving Rx For Future Moms!

                                   Eat This For Twins!

Did you see the "American Music Awards?" The highlights of the night--
Seeing the incredible 70 yr. old Diana Ross give Taylor Swift an award.
Seeing the energetic Pit Bull host and perform and of course, seeing
the ageless J Lo perform the hit song "Booty" with Iggy Azalea.
And speaking of J Lo, she's the mom of twins.
Some other famous parents of twins: Mariah Carey, Angelina Jolie
and Marcia Cross.

Not unusual, but all of them were over 30 yrs. of age. 
And what's so unusual about that?
Being over 30 raises your odds of having twins or triplets. 
That's not a misprint, and researchers think hormones are responsible. 
Older women have more hormones that result in women older than 30 having twins or 
triplets.
And what if you're 20 or 25, or even 29 is there any thing you can do to have
twins?
Yes, there might be a few things (food-wise) , and one of the foods may be 
present at your table this Thanksgiving.
What food is that?
Yams. Not sweet potatoes, but Yams.

According to food researchers, there's a part of Nigeria where a lot of the
women were giving births to multiples, and when the researchers went there
and studied their lifestyles- diets, exercises, sleep habits, etc. they
finally determined it was the yams.
Thanks to the warm climates, the people grow, sell and eat a lot of yams,
and the researchers then spent the next year studying the yam and it's
effectiveness on multiple births.
Their findings:
Yams balance hormones. Yams contain phytonutrients that work just like 
hormone replacement therapy. And if you're one who wants to have
your ideal family of two kids in one shot, perhaps adding more yams to your
diet may work for you.

And for those who are past the childbearing stage and are now dealing with 
hot flashes, night sweats, and tiredness, yams can also help you.
Hormone disrupters like obesity, cancer and bone thinning wreak havoc
on hormones and yams can help raise the number of protective hormones 
in your system.

So, if you're a young women under 30 or an older woman over 50,
yams can help you.
And if you want more tips (food tips) on how to increase your odds of
having twins (or triplets) head to Scribd.com and type
Fertility Secrets Doctors Don't Want You To Know, in the search bar.
Download it and read the section on having twins.

And 2 last things...
Make sure if do serve yams, serve them in ways that are beneficial to your health
and well-being...meaning without loads of sugar.
Lots of sugar is another enemy of a healthy birth.
And being over 30 also raises your odds of having babies with serious health
issues. (like Down Syndrome, Autism, etc)

Good Luck!

a nightclub, and a sports management company weren't enough,now they've
added a Champagne company to their portfolio.
And if you're wondering how this affects or benefits you,
it doesn't, but what may benefit you, is some champagne
everything  now and then.

Yes, it's too pricey for most of us, but a few glasses
a week can help boost heart health and brain health.
Brain and hearth health, come on.

here's a recipe using champagne and some other fruit juices.
The Ingredients...
3 oz chilled Cranraspberry Juice
1 oz chilled Acai juice
2 oz. chilled Sparkling white grape juice 2

T.V. Chef's Rx For A Beautiful Smile!

                  Rachael Ray's Tip For Whiter Teeth!

Did you happen to catch Rachael Ray's show yesterday?
Well, since it's the Holidays, she cooked a dish
that's related to the Holidays, the dish: Cranberry
Relish!

She didn't actually cook it, T.V. Chef Katie Lee
(The former Mrs. Billy Joel) made the dish.
And if you want a Hollywood smile but
don't have " Hollywood" money-then we suggest
you start using more cranberries in your daily menus.
Cranberries for one's smile?
Yes, but fresh cranberries mind you, not the sugar
laden stuff in the cans.

Cranberries have been used for decades to stop bacteria
from sticking to the urinary tract wall (UTIs)
but new research says they cranberries can also
stop bacteria from sticking to teeth and gums,
helping to prevent cavities and gingivitis.
And if that's not impressive enough, cranberries
can also zap harmful cells in your breasts.

So, if you were reluctant to use fresh cranberries this
Holiday season, maybe this post will change your mind.
Thanks Rachael Ray and Katie Lee.

Good Luck!

The Hollywood Rxs For Choosing The Perfect Holiday Dress!

                    Dress Successfully This Holiday Season! 
Oh no, it's holiday season again. And if you're in Hollywood that means
non-stop award shows.  And for the rest of us mere mortals--Thanksgiving at a relative's or
the annual Christmas party.
Well, whatever category you fit into, you want to make sure you look
your best, and according to a top stylist, finding the right dress for your
body type is where you should begin.
So, look below, identify your body type "flaw" and find out
how best to address that "flaw" or "flaws".
a) Extra Padding All-Over!
Simply put- if you have a little extra on your middle or back, then you should
go with Strategic Ruching.
More than one trouble spot? Get a Faux wrap-dress with soft Ruching across
the middle. Not sure where to find such a dress? Go online to Bonton.com.
Look for R&M Richards Long Sleeve Mock Clip West Tulip Wrap Dress
in Red.
b) Thighs and Hips-
Extra padding on these 2 trouble spots?  You're not alone, and if you want to
make them less noticeable this holiday season, Go with a solid skirt and a
lacy top. Go online to DavidsBridal.com for some great looking options.
c) Waist Not-
Have a waist that's a little more prominent than you want?
Go with a One-shoulder style dress. This type of dress helps you
look 10 pounds thinner. For some great looking dresses, go online to
Zappos.com and type Donna Morgan Rhea One Shoulder Dress in the
search bar.
Also helpful---a type of corset that'll really help you look a few inches
slimmer. Go online to JCP.com amd look for Maidenform Waistslimmers.
d) Baby Doesn't Want Back-
Unless you're Kim K. A rear that's starting to head south is a problem 
far too many of us have and to combat it-- Choose a Mermaid gown.
This type of gown tapers in at the upper thigh and nips in under the rear;
then flows out as it nears the floor. And this creates the illusion that the
backside is higher and rounder.
Go online to SimpyDresses.com and look for the floor length sleeveless dress
with lace embellished backs in Royal.
e) Baby Got Real Back-
And we're actually talking about the real back this time, not the bum or bottom.
Fitting into that great looking dress can do wonders for one's self esteem,
but then you turn around and find that there's too much on your back,
as in back bulge.
Don't let it get the best of you this yr. choose a dress that has a
patterned sheath. These types of dresses are typically cut with a higher
back and smaller armholes, which help spread the pressure of the dress
evenly over your whole back.
Look for a patterned sheath dress online at JNY.com in Taupe/Black.
f) The Bustline-
More specifically- a bustline that's also going south. A saggy bust can make finding
the right dress maddening and to create a more uplifted and perky chest,
go with a Sweetheart Halter.
No, we're not talking about the halter tops that were all the rage back in
the 70's and 80's, this type of halter is a dress.
A dress with 2 straps, and those 2 straps will make sure the 'ladies"
or the "twins" stay up where they belong.
Look for a Sweetheart halter dress online at DavidsBridal.com.
Choose the dress from the bridesmaid collection, the high-low halter
dress in Marine.

That's it, and if you want some makeup tips to go along with
that new dress you just purchased, go online to Amazon.com/the kindle
store and type The Celebrity Makeup Rxs. Some type stylists
reveal their secrets for applying makeup that'll help you
look thinner. Or styling your hair to look 5 to 10 pounds thinner.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Green Rx For People Over 40!

                        Stop The Graying Of America! 

We're in the middle of a revolution, what type of revolution?
A green revolution!
A green revolution is the increase of vegetables in our diets. 
Thanks to Dr. Oz. Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Ellen Degeneres,
Kristen Bell and Gwyneth Paltrow.
Well, these people may be eating their fill of asparagus, 
carrots, kale and beets, but they may be missing out on
a vegetable that can help them and you look a lot younger.

The vegetable: Wheatgrass.
Yes, that little patch of grass you see at the health-food store
or you grow at home.
And what is it that wheatgrass can do that asparagus, cucumbers
and kale can't do? 
Turn your hair back to it's original color. 
That's right, a woman (age 43) with a few gray hairs showing,  started to drink
some wheatgrass each morning, hoping it would help boost energy. 
The wheatgrass did more than that , it actually turned her hair back to its
original color.
And if you've  been using those expensive dyes, or spending money at
salons every 8 wks. perhaps you may want to take a shot each morning. 
A shot of wheatgrass.
And a few more tips for those willing to try something not to great tasting
and all-natural.
* The wheatgrass will not work if you continue to eat a typical American diet.
An occasional splurge of a burger, fries and a milkshake is okay, but do it on
a regular basis and your hair will remain gray. You may want to think about
following the Paleo diet, the Mediterranean diet or a vegetarian diet to really
slow down the aging process.
* Look into growing your own... Wheatgrass. Go to Youtube for lessons 

on how to grow your own wheatgrass.
You'll save money, plus you'll also know exactly what's going into your plants.

Good Luck!

A Funny Lady's Rx For Maintaining Weight!

                        The Seinfeld Rx! 
Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus has been around for quite a while.
Now in her early 50's, she looks better than ever.
She was on Saturday Night Live, Seinfeld, Day By Day, The New Adventures of
Old Christine and at this present time, she's starring in Veep.

Like a lot of stars Ms. Louis-Dreyfus has to watch her weight.
Not only because she's 5' 1" tall, but to make sure Hollywood continues to
offer her leading lady roles.
And if you too, struggle with weight, do like Ms. Louis-Dreyfus and
start eating breakfast.

That's right, no starvation diets, no hours doing Pilates, just a
plain, old-fashioned breakfast.
And her breakfast of choice: 
Eggs, fried in a little olive oil , a slice of whole-grain bread smeared with some
honey.
Ms. Louis-Dreyfus said that a few yrs. ago, she was a breakfast skipper, 
but decided to start eating it after hearing about the benefits.
One benefit in particular--she doesn't snack mindlessly (and endlessly)
at 1 or 2 in the afternoon and continue doing it right up until 6 or 7 pm. 
No, she says that a good-quality and filling breakfast has put an end to
that.

So, if you're struggling with cravings and snacking on fattening
and forbidden foods well into the evening hrs. take a page out
of the Julia Louis-Dreyfus handbook and start eating breakfast.
And lastly, if you're not an egg and turkey bacon kind of gal,
there are always fruit and veggie smoothies, gluten-free
pancakes, bowls of steel cut oatmeal, mushrooms and veggies 
and brown rice with cinnamon, allspice, and some low-glycemic
fruits, (apples, pears and berries).

Good Luck!

Elementary's Rx For Better Health!

                    Lucy Liu's healthy Tip! 
Are you a fan of the hit show-Elementary?
Well it's still going strong and one of the reason for its
continued success--The chemistry between costars
Lucy Liu and Englishman Jonny Lee Miller.

And what's even more impressive, Lucy Liu seems to have
found the secret to turning back the clock, the anti-aging clock.
When asked for her secrets, Ms. Liu gave the usual answers--
eating right, exercise (yoga) meditation and something babies do.
What is it?
She naps.

That's right, we've done posts on the importance of sleep and
the one star who claims she tries to get 9 hrs. a night, (Penelope Cruz) 
but napping. 
Yes, a lot of adults are just dead set against it.
Some for practical reasons, work, school, etc. and others just
feel it's a waste of time.
But that's not true, and if you can find even 15 to 20 minutes a day to 
nap, you can expect some great benefits.
What type of benefits? 
a) lower risks of cancers,  breast,  prostate (Men) colon and lung.
b) A healthier heart
c) Better weight control
 That's right, sleeping less than 6 hrs. means you'll most likely
have a harder time maintaining or losing weight.
And your cravings for carbs will be really intense.
d) Mind Control-
  This simply means, naps lower your  odds of getting dementia or Alzheimer's.
e) Better Moods-
 If you feel grumpy during the day, you may need more sleep at night,
 or a nap during the day. Naps also help you beat the blue moods associated
  with the cold, dark days of Fall and Winter.
There you have it, 5 tips for better health, and a few more things to
consider...
don't sleep more than 20 minutes, why? it'll confused your body and
make it hard to sleep at night.
And for the 1st tip regarding cancer. It's especially important that you
are in a deep sleep between 12:00 am and 2:00 am, why?
Your body needs to be a deep sleep to produce melatonin.
The hormone needed to help you get to sleep and stay asleep.

That's it, and if you're really serious about sleep and need help
getting to and staying asleep, head online to Amazon.com, the kindle store.
And type The 99 Best Natural Remedies To Beat Insomnia,
for less than 2 packs of gum, you can get the sleep you desperately
deserve. And something even better- you can get that sleep without
taking anything that may affect your health and your wallet.

Good Luck!

Martha and Gwyneth's Rx For Making More Money!

                                 Get Rich Like Martha and Blake! 

If you're up on your Hollywood gossip, then you may remember the spat
between Martha Stewart and Gwyneth Paltrow.
And then another brouhaha between Martha Stewart and Blake Lively.
What were they about?
Martha felt that Gwyneth and Blake were infringing on her territory.
In simple English, Gwyneth and Blake who love to cook, sew, decorate
and just plain use their other creative gifts, both have websites that
dole out advice on cooking, sewing and creating.
And when Ms. Stewart was told about Blake's and Gwyneth's ambition
to become more like her and start their own empires based on
homemaking, Ms. Stewart was none to pleased.

Well, there's plenty of room out there for all women (and men)
who want to create to help make our lives easier and better.
And if you also have ambitions to do something similar, take
your talents to Etsy.com and get paid for it.

What is Etsy?
It's a site for those who love to paint, sew, cook, knit, take photographs
and just plain make things and then sell those paintings, photographs
and crafts to millions of people around the World.
And with the holidays coming up, it's a perfect time to open up a store
and get started on becoming the next Gwyneth, Blake, Jessica Alba
 (Honest company) or Martha Stewart.

Not sure how to get started?
Well, head to Youtube.com and type how to start an Etsy shop in the search bar.
Hope this helps, and also remember, with the state of our economy, (the U.S.
economy) it's best you take control of your own financial situation and
not rely on an employer.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Halloween Rx For Better Health!

                   Enjoy Halloween and Get Healthier! 

You may think that Hollywood stars aren't into Halloween.
And if you've been thinking this, you're wrong.
Stars like Jessica Alba, Nicole Richie and Jennifer Garner
absolutely love it. 

They love the decorating, the carving of pumpkins and
baking dishes that contain Pumpkin.
And if you too, also love Halloween, here are some things that
you and your family can do to boost health and happiness, this
coming Friday.
Things like...
a) Creating A Tradition-
If you have a Halloween tradition like picking out pumpkins
or going for a hayride, continue doing it, why?
It'll bring your family closer. All rituals are important, but you
tend to always remember the ones revolving around the holidays-
because those events make such a big impression on you.
Such an impression, you'll remember them for a lifetime.
b) Carving A Pumpkin-
Carving a pumpkin requires you to use the right side of your brain,
the creative side. And spending time carving and creating
means a mini-vacation from the hustle and bustle of jobs, school
and other adult responsibilities.
c) Meet The Neighbors-
If you only talk or socialize with your neighbors on Halloween, that's not good.
Interacting with neighbors can help boost happiness levels.
Start interacting more with your neighbors.
d) Dress Up-
If you only dress up your kids once a year, you're missing out.
Missing out on letting go of stress. Dressing up helps you get in
touch with your inner-child, and lets you explore fantasies that may get stifled
the rest of the year. Any time you dress up or do something like
face-painting, you're letting go of adult stress.
e) Visiting a Haunted House- 
Do you enjoy visiting a haunted house or watching a movie like
Saw? Well, believe it or not, you're releasing "happy" hormones.
Getting scared, whether it's from a haunted house or a scary movie
helps makes fear more manageable.
Important tip:
If you have a less than healthy heart, you may want to skip the
haunted house or scary movie.
f) The Chocolate Rx-
If you avoid the candy during the holidays, you may want to
rethink that. Read more about the benefits of Chocolate at our
main blog. The blog: SupermarketRxs@typepad.com.

That's it, stay safe and enjoy Halloween, just
like Jessica, Nicole and Jennifer. 

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Romantic Movie Rx Just For Women!

                  Burning The Candle At Both Ends! 

Are you fans of romantic movies?
How about a scene where a man (or woman) lights one candle or a bunch
of candles?
Well, if you've taken a cue from one of your favorite movies and
lit a candle or two to set up a romantic mood, you may want
to stop that. 
Stop lighting candles, why?

According to new research, scented candles (and even some air freshners)
raise your risk of developing breast cancer. 
That's right, if you remember a post we did right after pop stars' Donna
Summers death, we told you about her obsession with keeping things
clean. Which means-she was constantly using Mr. Clean, Lysol,
oven cleaner, etc. to keep smells and stains away.

And today, you can add scented candles and some air freshners to that list.
Chemically scented products kick out compounds called Phthalates,
and these compounds act exactly like estrogen in your body, speeding
the growth and spread of abnormal cancer cells.
So, if you still want a house that's sweet smelling or if you want
to continue setting a romantic mood with a candle or two,
head online to Google.com and type--where to buy or how to make
natural scented candles, and natural cleaning products
that are chemical-free in the search bar. 

Or, go to Honest.com, (the site run by Jessica Alba)
she might have some home cleaning products, air freshners and candles that won't put your health in danger.

Good Luck!

Duck Dynasty's Rx For Raising Successful Kids!

                         Simple Solution To Raising Great Kids! 

Any "Dancing With The Stars" fans out there? 
Well, if you're truly a fan, then you must be impressed with the talent
displayed by the young lady known as Sadie Robertson.

What's even more impressive is that Ms. Robinson attends a school
that doesn't allow any type of dancing.
And her dancing shouldn't be the only thing that impresses you about this 
young lady, her grace, her humbleness and kindness should also make you
stand up and take notice.
And if you want the secret to as to why she may be so kind, humble and
gracious, look no further than the dinner table. 
The Dinner table-say what?

That's right, for yrs. parents have consulted "so-called experts" bought
child-rearing books and paid people big bucks as to the secrets of raising
great kids, and lo and behold- the answer may be your dining room table.
Big family dinners, (the way Duck Dynasty ends each show) where parents,
grandparents, kids and a neighbor or two sit around for an hour
or two may be the real key to raising great kids.

Yes, people in France, Spain, Italy and Greece have known about this
for yrs. and in the U.S. it's starting to catch on.
Food in other parts of the World is considered more than something you
chew for a few mins.  swallow and then leave the table,  no- food to
Europeans is an experience where people talk, share ideas, dreams and hopes, 
learn to listen and bond.
And all of this listening, sharing, caring and bonding means lowers rates
of depression, truancy, disrespecting others, run-ins with the law, eating disorders
 and teen pregnancy.
And for the adults, it means reduced odds of having cholesterol, blood pressure
and heart disease issues.

So, if you're a mom or dad with a preteen or teen or if you plan
on becoming a mom in the not-too-distant future and you want to
see your kids become rock solid and productive adults, take a
hint from the Robinson clan, and start eating meals together.

And if you want additional info as to why the French do better in other areas of life
as well, like...fewer hospital visits, an extra 5 to 7 yrs. of life,
fewer wrinkles, less depression, less stress and better vision,
head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and download a copy of
see title below...
Once you download it, get started
on a happier and healthier life,
just like the French.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Rx For Safer Traveling!

                              Safer Air Travel! 

It doesn't matter if you're a star earning millions a year, or a regular gal or guy
earning less than 50,000 dollars, if you travel by plane, you
should take some simple steps to keep yourself safe.

The simple steps:
a) Clean Your Hands- 
Mom was right, keeping your hand clean is very important.
And a recent study says that tap water on 20% of U.S.  planes tested
positive for diarrhea-causing bacteria. To avoid this- make sure to wash your hands
for at least 15 to 20 seconds with warm soapy water. After washing your 
hands, rub an alcohol-based hand gel, such as Purell or Avant on them.
b) The Nose Knows-
There's not much humidity in airplane cabins and that can make
your nose especially dry, increasing the odds you get an infection. 
Avoid any problems by using an over-the-counter saline nasal
spray once every hr. you're on the plane.
Two products to try: Ocean or Ayr.
c) Prepare Before Takeoff-
As in get your immune system prepared. How?
You can take a product called "Airborne" available at
drugstores.
Or you can eat more garlic and certain spices and herbs like 
oregano, garlic, cilantro, ginger and thyme.
And lastly, you can sleep more. getting too little
sleep, is a great way to make it easier to get more infections.

That's it- 3 tips to keep you safe while traveling by air.
And if you want more tips on how to get your immune system
in tiptop shape, head to Amazon.com.the kindle store and
download a copy of The World's Best Remedies To Boost
Immunity.

The First Lady's Rx Just For Women!

                 Eat Your Veggies! 

Hey, did you catch First lady Michelle Obama
touting the lowly turnip? She praised the
veggie using rapper "Lil John's" big hit--
"Turn Down For What!"
And if you're one of the millions who avoids
turnips, you may want to take the first lady's
advice and start eating them.
Why? 
They help women lower their risks of fibroids, 
as well as breast and ovarian cancer.

That's right, the vegetable that resembles a potato
(on the inside) has more health perks and half the calories.
It also contains compounds that binds to the excess estrogen
in your body and carries it out of the body, helping to 
restore hormonal balance.
And that hormonal balance means reduced odds of getting
fibroids and 2  cancers-- (breast and ovarian)

Not sure how to cook them?
You can cook them as you would potatoes.
Bake them in the oven with a little olive oil. 
Or use them to make mashed potatoes (or mashed turnips)
Or grate some along with some cabbage and make a coleslaw.

And if you want info on how other root vegetables like beets, carrots,
red onions, parsnips and red cabbage also improve women's 
health, head to Amazon.com, the kindle store and type
The Nordic Secrets For Perfect Health, and download a copy today--
and get started on a path towards better health.

Good Luck!
