Hollywood's Rx For More Energy!

                                  Just Say No To Sport Drinks! 

Sport and Energy Drinks are a big business, how big? 
How about 9 billion dollars a yr. big, but not in Hollywood.
That's right- stars concerned about their health and looks
avoid the drinks like the plague. And if you're concerned about
your own health, you too, should follow suit.
Energy drinks may provide you with extra energy for an hr. or a few hours,
but take them on a regular basis, and you risk everything from irregular
heart beats, to the sweats and the biggest threat of all...sudden death.
Yup, a regular habit of sports drinks can cause you to check out a lot sooner
than you wanted to.

What are the alternatives?
Stay tired? No.
Grab a nap during the day? Not possible for most people. 
Or do you do what a lot of stars are doing?
What's that, you ask? They drink smoothies.
Smoothies can not only help you lose weight or replace
a meal, but they can also give you a "Jolt" of energy,
that'll rival any health-depleting sports drink.

So, are you ready to make the change?
Alrighty then, get out your blender or juicer and make the
2 smoothies listed below.
Smoothie no. 1-
1 medium banana
1/2 cup silken tofu
1/2 cup pineapple juice (fresh or canned)
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
a few ice cubes
Blend all of the ingredients until smooth.
----------------------------------------

Smoothie No. 2-
1 banana
1/2 avocado
1/2 cup of spinach
1 cup of coconut water
1 tsp honey or molasses
a few ice cubes
Blend or juice until smooth.
-------------------------------------------------------
All of these ingredients will boost energy levels naturally
and hopefully, keep you around for yrs. to come.
And if you want a few more smoothie, teas, shakes or
green juice recipes, head to Amazon.com/the kindle store
and download a copy of All-Natural Energy Drinks!
Once you have the info on your laptop or Kindle E-reader,
you'll also learn how to massage certain spots on your body and
the 12 foods that'll "Supercharge" your energy. Plus,  the best
supplements for more energy and finally, a natural energy drink from Dr. Oz.
But you must act today.  See title at right.

fat melting glands, helping the pounds disappear for good.

* Joint Pain
* Frequent colds
* Muscle cramps
* Yeast Infections
* Graying Hair in your 20's and 30's
* Acne. rashes, and other skin eruptions
* Trouble losing weight (especially in the midsection)
So, do you have more than 3 symptoms?
Then it's definitely time for a change, a change from too much
acid to the right amount of Alkaline.

To get you started, here's a smoothie that Ms. Aniston has once
a week. She juices up cucumbers, kale, spinach, garlic clove (1)
celery, carrots, beets, berries and avocado.
Ms. Aniston has a few glasses of this mixture once a week, and
it's just the juice, no food.
And if you need more, you can go to Google.com and type
what is an Alkaline diet in the search bar, or look for a new
book online that covers everything from symptoms to menus. 
The book: 60 Seconds To Slim! By Michelle Schoffro Cook.

Stars Who Love Carbs!

                 Eat Carbs Like The Stars! 

Think all of the stars have given up carbs?
Well, it's not true, there are still a few stars out there
that haven't abandoned all carbs and they are...
a) Reba McEntire-
Ms. Reba has sworn off carbs, white carbs.
No white pastas, pancake mixes, or flour.
b) Sandra Bullock-
A typical meal for Ms. Bullock- a plate of brown rice,
some black beans and some steamed veggies on top.
c) Jessica Alba-
Ms. Alba hasn't cut out carbs entirely, what she has cut out...
processed foods. Sort of like Reba McEntire. She wants nothing 
but fresh and organic for her family.
d) Jennifer Aniston-
Jennifer Aniston's personal chef had to really convince her to eat
carbs. And she's taken his advice, and added brown rice, lentils
and Quinoa to her diet.
e) Paula Deen-
With all of the turmoil Ms. Deen has had to endure the past yr.
going to back to her old eating habits would be understandable.
But Ms. Deen has remained strong and stayed away from the carb
that really took a toll on her health, what carb was that? White Potatoes.

That's right- Ms. Deen has switched to Sweet potatoes and
really noticed a difference in her health and appearance.
If you're thinking of going off carbs or you need help in deciding
what's a good carb and what's a bad carb, look for a book

available at Amazon.com/the kindle store.

Downton Abbey's Green Rx!

                  The Tea Rx From England! 

Are you a fan of the English series "Downton Abbey?" 
It just aired its last episode and that's mean a long wait
for those of us who can't get enough of the hit series.

If you're a really a fan, then you know that tea plays
a big part in the show. Yes, we're talking about the beverage,
and it seems to be the beverage of choice for a lot of Brits.
But did you know that you can get benefits from tea by not
drinking it?

That's right--with the big "green" movement going on, you can
improve your skin and clean your house with a tea bag or two.
So, look below, and learn how the beverage of Great Britain,
can really help you in more ways than you think.
a) Razor Burns-
Spring is almost here and that means more bare legs,
and if nicks and cuts are a part of your shaving routine,
put an end to it. How?
Wet a tea bag and hold it against the spots you cut or nicked.
Tea has tannic acids and that acid helps lower inflammation.
b) Healthier Plants-
Before potting a plant, place tea bags on the drainage hole of the
planter. They'll help retain water and keep your plant full of life.
c) Mirror-Mirror-
Mirror, Mirror whose the dirtiest mirror of them all?
If you say it's my house, clean them the "green" way... with tea bags.
Brew some tea, make it strong and let it cool. Then get a cloth
(clean) or paper towels or newspaper and clean the mirrors throughout
the house. Finish up by wiping the mirrors down with a dry cloth.
d) Pots and Pans-
Does your sauce stick to the pan? How about beef stew?
If you want an easier method to help clean up those pots and
pans, allow a tea bag or two to assist you. 
Fill the pot or pan with some warm water, add some dish detergent,
(a tbs.) and then throw in 2 tea bags. Let sit for a few hrs. or overnight
and the stuck on food will be a cinch to clean up.
e) Odors In The Fridge-
That box of baking soda in the fridge doesn't work like it
used to at eliminating odors, that's okay, try the new method
of getting rid of the stench, what is it? Tea!
If you have tea everyday, hold onto the tea bags.
Collect about 6 and place them in a bowl or small container,
and then place this container in the back of the refrigerator. 
Leave for a few days and then remove them. Start saving those
tea bags again and repeat the process.
f) Youthful Skin-
Who doesn't want to look younger? (Kim Novak) Well, if dry and
aging skin is a concern, run a bath and throw in a few tea bags.
The tea helps hydrate the skin, leaving it dewy and soft.
Another tip: If you eat oranges, save the peels and toss them in with the
tea bags for some extra soft skin.

That's it for now, until the next Downton Abbey episode, Good Day!

Good Luck!

Food Network Star's Rx For Future Moms!

                           Food Rx For Future Moms!

If you caught the Rachael Ray show today, then you'll remember she had on
 her favorite doctor, who was it?
Dr. Ian Smith!
They did an interesting segment on how to tackle health problems,
with food and not prescribed meds.

Some of the good Drs' suggestions: 
*Basil- End stomach discomfort and embarrassing gas.
* Raisins- Bring down blood pressure. Just make sure the raisins
  are eaten plain, and not in bread pudding or oatmeal raisin cookies,
  or your blood pressure won't budge a bit.
  Another tip: Go bananas. A woman who wanted to avoid bl. pressure
  meds, heard about bananas, she had 2 medium bananas a day and was
  able to avoid the meds.
 * Figs- The good doctor recommended figs for constipation.
  What the good doctor didn't mention was that some figs eaten throughout
  pregnancy can help women  produce more breast milk.

 That's right, ladies concerned about producing more breast milk
  should consider eating figs.
 And ladies, if that breast milk flows too freely, and you worry
  about breast milk leaking through blouses, ( Remember Kim K.)
  wrap breasts in cabbage leaves. 
  Yes, your eyes are reading it right. a cabbage leaf around each breast.
 And remove it  when you go back home.  Cabbage also ends breast pain.

 That's It- And if you want more tips on how food can help
you produce more breast milk, or prevent miscarriage, morning
sickness and stretch marks...
 head on over to Scrib.com, and type Fertility Secrets,
 Doctors Don't Want You To Know! Download it and read before your
 next pregnancy.

Good Luck!
