A Star's Rx For Frequent Travelers!

                       A Flying Secret From Eva Mendes! 

Eva Mendes will be on the Ellen Degeneres show tomorrow.
She will reveal something that may help a lot of women
(and men) avoid a very serious health crisis.
What is it?
Ms. Mendes opts out of the wand being passed over her body and 

takes the pat down instead.
If you're a frequent flier like Ms. Mendes, you too, may start taking
the pat down as well.

Why?
That seemingly harmless wand can increase your odds of getting thyroid
cancer by a whopping 65%. Yup, that small wand will unleash
a good amount of radiation. Radiation that finds it way into your system.
Don't believe it?
Ask Sofia Vergara and Brooke-Burke Charvet.
Both actresses have battled thyroid cancer in the past few yrs.
And luckily, both were able to get it taken care of in a speedy fashion
and are now cancer-free.

And now that you've been warned about thyroid cancer, make sure to take
steps to avoid another serious health problem, what is it?
Blood clots.
They too, (blood clots) are on the rise and sitting at a desk all day
and then going on a plane to sit some more is causing an increase in blood
clots, especially in your legs. 

So, to help you never become a victim, make sure to eat and drink
 the following...
a) Drink more water. A hydrated body is less likely to form clots.
b) A Fruit Combo- Grapes and Apples. Don't know why, but this combo
keeps blood flowing throughout the body.
c) Eat Kiwi- One researcher says that Kiwi are so powerful, one woman
cleared up her life-long undereye circles in a matter of wks. Think 

of Kiwi like it's a plumber's snake- clearing out the toxins and plaque
in your body.
Drink Tea- see A) Skip the danish, canolis, and the other pastries
that you usually have with your tea. White sugar and white flour
will not only cause waistlines to expand, they create blood clots.
d) Dark Chocolate-
Women everywhere are shouting hip-hip hooray, another reason
to eat dark chocolate. Eat a square or two of top quality dark
choc. Or buy some Organic hot cocoa, and have a cup or two
each day. Again, skip the sweets.
e) Avoid The American Diet-
Simply put, if you're eating the typical burger, fries, pizza,
chips, burritos, fried chicken and Mac and Cheese, you're
raising your risk of getting some serious diseases. Plus,
you're increasing your odds of developing blood clots.
Change your ways and switch to the Mediterranean diet.
f) Exercise-
Okay, you may not be able to get up on the plane and do squats
or knee bends, but do try and move your ankles and walk to the
 bathroom once or twice during the flight.

That's it- some helpful tips for all of the frequent travelers out there.
And if you want tips on how to prevent thyroid cancer,
head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and download a copy of 

The SuperFoods That Prevent Breast Cancer. a chapter deals solely
with Thyroid cancer.

Good Luck!

Bethenny's Rx For Kissable Lips!

                       Soft Kissable Lips!

If you watched Bethenny today you were treated to a
dining fest. Bethenny made breakfast treats that were lower in calories.
One of those treats was a smoothie made with strawberries.
And since we're nearing the warmer months, strawberries will be in

abundance.

If you're a fan of just eating them, why not use them to soften your lips.
Softer lips? Yes, use the following lip mask and really show off
your lips this Spring season.
Cut a strawberry  in half and dip it in some
brown or turbinado sugar.
Massage the scrub over your lips and wipe off with a damp tissue.
Finish up by appling your moisturizer, (olive oil or vaseline).
Do this twice a week, any more and you risk wearing away too much
skin on your lips.

Strawberries are rich in Salicylic acid, which helps remove dead skin
cells, plus the seeds gently buff your lips to a smooth texture.
Or if you want a lip buffer already-made look for one called-Bella II Fiore
Strawberries & Cream Sugar Kisses Lip Scrub. online at BellaBeauty.net.

Another tip: Strawberries can also be used to whiten teeth.
That's right- It's rumored that Jessica Simpson uses strawberries this
way. Cut one in half and wipe over your teeth.

And lastly, look for Organic strawberries whenever possible.
Strawberries have been named as one of the top foods that contain
a ton of pesticides due to their soft, outer exterior.
Oh and don't forget to check out Bethenny's new book...
Skinny Girl Comfort Foods.

Good Luck!

Look Ten Yrs. Younger Haircare Tips Pt. 2!

                              More Haircare Tips To Turn Back The Clock! 

As promised, here's the second part of the haircare tips that'll fool
your friends and family into thinking you had some cosmetic surgery done.
a) Trim Hair For Youthful Skin-
If the ends of your hair looked ragged, it can actually make your skin
look dried out. To prevent this and get that youthful glow back...
trim your ends every 6 to 8 wks.
b) Cover Up The Grays-
If you're gray or going gray and you feel okay with it,
avoid reading the rest of this tip. But, if you're not okay with
it, look for the new foams that are on the market.
Gray may help you look distinguished, it can also age you.
So, to help turn back the clock, look for new coloring foams
like John Frieda Precision Foam Hair Color, price $15.
Another tip: you may want to go a shade lighter, doing this
gives the hint that you had your hair highlighted.
c) Shinier Hair-
With a glaze. Get that youthful, glossy hair back with a glaze.
Look for a glaze like Alterna Caviar Anti-aging 3 minute shine boost. Price-$25.
Or Aveeno Active Naturals Living Color Color Preserving Shine
Glaze, price- $8. Available online at Sephora.com
d) Get Rid Of The Flaws-
Body, waves and curls make your hair look thicker. That extra volume
also distracts attention from any facial problems you may have.
If your hair is naturally curly, define the texture with a curl cream
or gel. If your hair is naturally straight, try misting in a wave spray,
then gently scrunching as blow-dry with a diffuser.
e) A Beer For Your Hair-
That's right, need more bulk and volume in your hair,
head to your fridge and grab a beer. Not to drink, but to
rinse your hair out. Beer is loaded with proteins that can give
hair a thicker look. After shampooing, pour 1 cup of a Flat beer through
your hair. Leave on 15 to 20 mins. then rinse your hair with water.

Good Luck!

Hair Care Tips To Look Ten Years Younger Pt.1!

                          Turn Back The Hands Of Time! 

Facial treatments, Botox, Restalyne, chemical peels,
laser peels and exfoliants are big business, especially in
Hollywood.
And when you do everything (face-wise) in your power to look
younger, you neglect another part of your body that helps you
look younger.
What part of the body is that?
Your Hair!
That's right-- spend all that time and money on your face
and you don't bother to look after your hair.
Well, if you're going to remove wrinkles, prevent fine lines
and tighten up your loose skin, you must also spend a little
time on your hair.
And if you're not sure how to turn back the clock on your
tresses, don't worry, we have it covered.
Look below, and find 5 tips that'll have your hair matching 

your new and improved face.
a) Sweep The Hair-
Brushing either bangs or long layers across your forehead
has 2 youth-boosting benefits. Sweeping hair on your forehead
helps you cover up those forehead wrinkles. Plus, it frames
your face and really shows off your eyes.
b) Lose The Stiff Hair-
Simply put, if your hair looks stiff and hard that only makes you
look older, but softer, looser, movable hair will make you
look a lot younger. To get the looser, looking hair...
Hold your hairspray at least 6 inches away from your head,
and use only a dime-size amount of gel or cream.
c) Use a Shampoo Trick-
As most people age, their hair produces less oil and less oil
means dull and dry hair. To combat this--shampoo less often.
If you shampoo everyday, perhaps every other day should be your
new goal. Also head to Youtube,com and type Baking soda shampoo
in the search bar. Using those store bought shampoos can also age your hair.
d) Get Layers-
In your hair. Layers--especially around the face--instantly give your hair
movement and body. And this even works for hair that may be thinning.
So, add some layers Ladies.
e) Get Highlights-
Make your face really stand out with highlights. Looking at
hair that's been highlighted gives your skin a youthful glow.
One kit to try: L'Oreal Touch-On Highlights, price $14 at most
drugstores.

That's it- 5 tips to help your hair look as youthful as your face. 

Tomorrow--the last 5 tips to really help you look as youthful as possible.

and cheating.

not return his time, love or heart.

Talk Show Host's Rx For Perfect Health!

                       Drink More Tea Like Oprah! 

The rich get richer, as in Oprah Winfrey. 

That's right, Ms. Winfrey is teaming up with Starbucks
to sell Chai Tea.
The money made from the tea will go to Oprah's
school in South Africa.
Ms. Winfrey had the tea in India and fell in love with it,
and now Starbucks CEO Howard Shultz is going to sell that
tea at the coffee chain.

The people of Indian, China, Greece and France,
figured out long ago that adding certain herbs and spices
to tea or hot water can really enhance your health.
(especially if you don't want to get those benefits from fruits and vegetables)

If you want to save money and make your own Chai tea,
just add nutmeg, cinnamon, ginger and cloves to a cup of
black or green tea.
The nutmeg will help you relax, (not too much) the cinnamon 

will steady blood sugar levels, cloves, reduce inflammation
(especially in the upper respiratory system) and ginger, reduce aches
and pain and improve circulation (no more cold feet and hands ladies).
And if you tire of these spices, do like the Chinese, and add
Szechwan peppercorns, star anise, fennel seeds, cinnamon, and cloves
to a cup of tea or hot water, leave the spices in  for 5 to 8 mins,
then remove them with a spoon and sip slowly. 

The peppercorns ease digestion, the fennel seeds stop period pain and help pregnant women control appetite and the star anise, it helps your body rid itself of 65 different bacteria. 

So,  you can boost your health and help out the Oprah foundation,
or you can head to your local Asian specialty store or
supermarket and pick up your own spices.

Good Luck!
