J Lo's Rx For Great Legs!

                   Get Legs Like J Lo!
Jennifer Lopez gave some special fans who came to her show at the Foxwoods
casino in Connecticut an incredible show and some wonderful advice.
Thanks to the T.V. show Access Hollywood, five fans were allowed to move
from the back of the auditorium, up to the front, and after the show,
the five fans were allowed to visit with Ms. Lopez.
And one of the fans asked her "how do you get such incredible legs?"
To which Ms. Lopez replied- "I had to give up soda"
Now, some stars are vegans, some eat fish, but no chicken or beef
and some eat only raw foods to attain their "perfect" physiques, but Soda.
Why?
Incredibly, soda has been getting a bad rap of late and it's rightly deserved.
A soda now and then won't do to much damage to your health, but drink
it everyday and it'll do incredible damage to your health and well-being, like...
1) Brittle Bones-
Too much soda like too much alcohol can set you up for broken hips and
other fractures later in life.
2) Acne-
Suffer from acne? If your a heavy soda drinker, you may want to cut back
or cut it out entirely.
3) Cravings-
This may be the reason Ms. Lopez avoids it. Drinking soda on a regular basis
may increase cravings for sweets and other fatty foods. It may be the type of
sugar the soda makers use.
4) Blood Pressure-
Regular soda drinkers have significantly higher blood pressure than those
who avoid it. Again, the type of sugar may be to be blame.
5) Diet-
But, what about diet? Nope, new research says that artificial sweetners
in the soda, may also cause problems to your health, like...buzzing in
the ears and frequent headaches.
Side Note- you may want to pass this onto Donna Karan, (the fashion designer)
it's rumored she drinks diet soda 7 days a week.

So, now that you know how J Lo keeps her legs in great shape,
it's time to rethink your drinking stiuation. Look online for alternatives
to soda.

Good Luck!

Uma Thurman's Halloween Rx For Youthful Skin!

                           Uma Thurman's Secret For Looking Younger!
Uma Thurman is over 40 and still looks 10 to 12 yrs. younger than her
actual age and the credit goes to the food most of us only eat in the Fall.
That food: Pumpkin!

block the Sun's damaging rays, reverse age spots, build collagen
and prevent flaking and skin drying.

So, are you ready to be like Uma and start using pumpkin facials?
If you are, you can find a host of pumpkin-based beauty products at drugstores
or online. Or make your own- take some pumpkin from a can and mix with
plain yogurt or 1/2  mashed-up avocado.  Lie back in a comfortable chair
and apply to the face and neck. Leave on for 20 mins. and then wash off
with a mild soap and warm water.

Good Luck!

Regis and Kelly's Rx To Staying Cold and Flu-Free!

                        Prevent Colds and Flu Naturally! On today's Regis and Kelly Show, the hosts took flu shots to help them stay
flu-free this yr. There's still a debate raging on whether they're safe or not.
If you plan on getting a flu shot this yr. that's okay, but if you're from the camp
of "I don't want a flu shot" use one of the natural remedies listed below...
1) Eat more Yogurt-
Make it a good unsweetened yogurt that contains probiotics.
A cup of yogurt a day is a great way to prevent the flu.
2) Eat Apples and Kiwis-
Both contain compounds that help you stay cold and flu-free.
Fun fact, a teacher who had gotten too many colds for too many
years, really wanted something natural to help her in the upcoming yr.
She visited a nutritionist who recommended Kiwi.
She ate 2 a day, 5 days a week and stayed flu-free for the whole school yr.
Another benefit of Kiwi: Her undereyes circles disappeared and she didn't
have to cake her makeup on too heavily anymore.
Just consider Kiwi-"the plumber's snake of the fruit world." Able to clear out
blockages and allow blood to flow more easily.
3) Take a Cold Shower-
Unable to take a 3 min. cold shower? That's okay- researchers say turning down
the shower for the last 30 secs. or min. is enough to help build up immunity.
Cold baths and showers are popular in Scandinavian countries.
4) Avoid the Sweets-
Dr. Oz, America's favorite Dr. wants all of us to cut "way down" on
or cut out sugar entirely from our diets and for good reason.
Too much sugar, especially in Nov. Dec. and Jan.  wreaks
havoc on our immune systems, making it easier for cold and flu
viruses to enter our systems.
5) A Tip for Vegetarians-
Did you become a "strict" vegetarian in the last few wks.
You may think you're doing yourself a favor, but you may be
setting yourself up for more colds that last for too long. Why?
A strictly vegetable diet is lacking in Zinc, a mineral
that helps build up immunity. Are you ready to go back to meat?
No! Eat more mushrooms or ask your naturopath for a good zinc
supplement.
6) Gargle-
Yes the simple act of gargling once or twice a day is an effective way to stay
cold and flu-free. Gargle with plain water or with a little sea or Himalayan salt.
7)  More about the Flu-Shot-
If you do plan on getting the flu shot, make it more effective by
taking up Tai Chi, yes that Tai Chi, the ancient Chinese slow and gentle
exercise.
Hope these tips help you stay cold amd flu-free,
and if you have a tip or two on ways to avoiding colds,
please pass them along.
