Morning Show's Food Rx For Good Luck!

                                           Eat This For Good Luck In 2016! 

On the "Today Show" this morning, the guest chef talked about a
certain food one should eat on Jan. 1st for more luck. 
And the food the young lady mentioned is considered "soul food" 
and very popular in the South.
Can you guess?
Not sure- well it's black-eyed peas. 

That's right, the legume that takes a back seat to navy, kidney and garbanzo
beans are cooked and eaten on the first day of the year.
But not just this food, many Southerns eat the peas with rice, greens (turnips and
collards) the color green represents more financial luck and pork. 

And for those who aren't familiar with preparing these types of foods, you may
want to copy some of the rituals that are popular in other countries, like...
a) Spain-
Actress Leah Michelle says she's part Spanish and to usher in more luck,
she and her family eat grapes (on the last day of the year at midnight).
12 grapes to be exact for the 12 months of the new year.
b) Japan- 
In some Japanese countries, the people eat noodles.
What's so unusual about this food? The noodles must be long and not broken or
cut in half. Cut or break the noodles and your yr. will be broken.
Eat Soba noodles at mid-nite.
c) Poland-
In Poland and some Polish communities in the U.S. the people eat pork
and sauerkraut on the first.
Side-note- Thanks to all of the cabbage (they-the Polish women eat) is one of the
reasons why they (the women) have way lower breast cancer rates than their
American sisters.
d) Italy-
In Sicily, the people eat Lasagne. Wait, it's probably eaten yr. round, but they
consider it "good luck" if eaten on the first of Jan. 

There you have it, 4 food rituals to help you increase your luck for the 
upcoming New yr.
And for more good luck food traditions (or rituals) head to Google.com
and type Good Luck Foods for the New Year in the search bar.
And while you're there, type recipe for Black-Eyed Peas (or Hoppin' John) in the search bar. 
Make sure the recipe contains pork, as pork is also a "good luck" food.

Take Care and Have A Happy and Prosperous 2016.

Good Luck!

4 Stars Rxs For Living Till 90!

                             Live Long and Prosper! 

Reaching old age only happened to a select few years ago, but not anymore.
Today, it seems the norm.
And even in Hollywood, it's becoming quite normal,  how normal?
Four stars are 90 or over 90 and many more are fast approaching it (90).
And the 4 stars who are or over 90 are...
Cloris Leachman
Dick Van Dyke
Cecily Tyson
           +
Betty White
And if you want to make it to 90 like one of these stars, then you may want to copy
their secrets. 
First up, Ms. White-
Those who know Ms. White say that she eats whatever she wants, but in small
amounts. In fact, her costars on the hit show "Hot in Cleveland" said Ms.
White's diet resembles that of a young teenager, hot dogs, chips,
a can of soda and a fruit pie. ( no veggie or tofu  burgers--Thank-You)
And her other secret: she avoids negativity, as in gossip about celebrities
or negative news, (concerning crime, the bad economy, terror threats, etc) 

Next up is Cecily Tyson,
At 91, Ms. Tyson is 2 yrs. younger than Ms. White, and her secret:
she changed her diet to one of fruits and vegetables long before it was
fashionable. Like Ms. Leachman, Ms. Tyson eats only from the plant kingdom. 

Now, on to Ms. Leachman,
She too, became a strict vegetarian like Ms. Tyson, starting at age 40 something, 
but not just a vegetarian, a raw food enthusiast.
That's right, nothing cooked, no bell peppers stuffed with rice, or veggie stir-fries.
And something even more impressive, one of the dishes Ms. Leachman makes
may also help you make it to age 90 or more.
What dish is that?
Coleslaw.
That's right, raw cabbage served with spices and herbs, vegan cheese and
a vinaigrette.  Ms. Leachman started eating this dish back about 30 yrs. ago
and now her 40 and 50 yr. old kids make it (for themselves and their kids)
And if you're looking for that one food that can be called "a fountain of youth food" 
cabbage may fit the bill.
A top nutritionist says that people who eat the most cabbage, (or foods that are in
the cabbage family--Broccoli, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts and kale) may
live a decade (or two) longer than their cabbage-hating friends and family. 
And lastly,  for less than $2 a head, it (cabbage) will save you a ton of money
you may spend on special shakes, juices, vitamins, and other therapies.
Also important: eat more red cabbage, as it will protect your brain from
the ravages of aging, (Alzheimer's and dementia). 

And last but not least, Dick Van Dyke.
Mr. Van Dyke is certainly a rarity when it comes to living a long life,
how so? 
He admits to almost killing himself with tobacco and booze, bad habits that 
lasted for decades.
But today, he's a beacon of energy and longevity at age 90.
His secrets: Movement.
You may (or may not) remember, but Mr. Van Dyke is an incredible 
dancer and he thinks all of that movement (from the past) and something
he continues to this day- has helped him live to 90.
And his other secret: Love. He's says finding love with someone who's kind
and considerate at 80 something,  is another reason why he's made it to age 90. 

So, if you hope to make it 80, 90 or even longer, follow one or more of the secrets
that have helped some of Hollywood's brightest stars achieve this incredible
milestone.

Good Luck!

new year, here are 3 drinks that are "wheat-free".

And lastly, to help you get to sleep, try this cocktail.
Drink no. 3-
An Orange Spiced Mulled Wine-
Great as a sleep aid or really cold nights.
To make-
In a small pot over low heat, combine 1 btl. of Cabernet Sauvignon, (750 mil)
6 cloves, 1 cinnamon stick, the zest and juice of 1 orange and xylitol, 1/4 cup.
Make sure to clean peel thoroughly as it may contain pesticides.
Simmer for 30 minutes, strain and pour into 6 glasses. Drink while warm.

That's it- 3 cocktails that are great tasting and wheat-free.

A Star's Natural Rx For A Germ-Free Home!

                                 Let Your Christmas Make You Healthier! 

In most parts of the country (not L.A. or Arizona) colder weather brings a lot
of things. Things like snow and ice, snow and ice-covered roads, certain
holidays (Christmas and Thanksgiving)  an endless supply of good and fattening
food and germs. 

Yes, being indoor in heated and hot environments is ideal for all kinds of germs and viruses.
And if you're the type that loves to use store-bought cleaning products to keep 
germs at bay, you may want to stop doing that.
Doing what?
Using the chemical-laden and potentially harmful cleaning products at
your local supermarket.
Why?
Thanks to new research, a steady exposure to such products leaves you
and your family members vulnerable to a host of illnesses, like...
breathing troubles, skin irritations, allergy symptoms, weight gain
and some types of cancer. 

Oh yes, using Pine-sol, Lysol and Mr. Clean on a regular basis
can do irreversible damage to your health. 
So, what do to counter this and keep your home germ-free?
Do like actress Jessica Alba and look for safe and natural alternatives. 
And one alternative you can use can be found in your living or family room. 
And what is that? 
It's your Christmas tree.
A Christmas tree?
Well, the oil from your Christmas tree. 

You see, long before there were hospitals, HMOs and Obamacare,
our ancestors used every part of the Pine (or Christmas) tree to get
healthy and stay healthy and the oil from the pine needles was one
of the things they (our ancestors) used.
Pine oil really does clean and disinfect and if you're serious about keeping
countertops and walls clean, then make sure this type of oil becomes
your go-to cleaning agent.
Pine oil is distilled from pine needles, twigs and cones and it's been proven to
knock-out fungi,  mold, and mildew, as well as all sorts of bacteria, like E coli
and salmonella and it (the oil) does it without releasing toxic chemicals in the air.
Again, the types of chemicals that can do major damage to your health and the
health of your loved ones. 

So, if you want to become more like Jessica Alba and only use "natural"
products, now (Christmas) is a great time to start.
And if you want to clean your home for the next big holiday, (New's Year Eve
and Day) look for a product called Now Foods Pine Needle Oil-online at
IHerbs.com, a small container costs about $8.OO.
Place about 15 drops of the oil into a pail, add a few cups of warm water
and start cleaning.

And one last tip, if you really liked this post, and want to learn more
about the healing benefits of a Pine (a Christmas) tree, head on over to

The Hollywood Blockbuster's Rx To Prevent Cancer!

                          Eat This Movie Snack To Prevent Cancer! 

Even though some are saying the fanaticism surrounding the blockbuster
"Star Wars" isn't good for us, you can turn your love of this movie into
something good for your health.
How is that possible, you ask? 

Whether you go to see it once or a dozen times in the next few wks. just make
sure you have popcorn when you do see it. 
Popcorn? 
Yes, homemade popcorn with certain spices added to it can help you lower your odds
of ever developing cancer.
Spices and cancer?
Yes again, still not a believer, continue reading for more details...

* Popcorn-
contains high levels of polyphenols, antioxidants that help reduce the risk of
cancer and other diseases.
* Curry and Turmeric powder-
Both do a stellar job of shutting down pancreatic and colon cancer cells that
grow into dangerous tumors.
* Garlic Powder-
Compounds in garlic called allium- increase the activity of immune cells that
fight cancer.
* Black pepper-
In popcorn? Yes and eating more of it (especially combined with the two spices listed
above) acts like chemotherapy, in that it wipes out the cells that fuel the growth 
of tumors.
* Olive oil-
Yea, you may love the taste of butter on your popcorn, but if you want to greatly
lower your odds of ever developing harmful and dangerous breast cancer tumors,
then you should eat more olive oil. Extra olive oil to be exact. O.O shuts down the
genes responsible for breast cancer. 

That's it, so are you convinced? Ready to eat more spicy popcorn to lower your odds of
ever developing cancer? Good for you, and also remember, you can use these spices
in soups, salads, stir-fries and stews.
You can also add oregano, cumin, coriander, cayenne pepper, as they too, also
benefit your health in a number of ways.

Good Luck and Good Viewing (of the movie)

The Christmas Carol That Helps You Stay Slim!

                             A Classic From Nat King Cole! 

Some of you out there may only be familiar with Mariah Carey's
Christmas classic --"All I Want For Christmas Is You!" 
but hold on, long before Mimi's hit song there were tons of great
Christmas songs, like... "I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas,
"Have a Holly Jolly Christmas" "Silver Bells" and of course the
holiday favorite- "Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire" by the incomparable
Nat King Cole. 

Yes, the father of superstar Natalie Cole had a monster hit on his hands
after releasing it and if you're one who not only enjoys the song,
but the actual chestnuts as well, then you're in luck. 
What kind of luck?
According to new research, the lowly (and often ignored) chestnuts are one
of the lowest fat nuts around and that small amount of fat can do wonders
for your waistline. 
Yes, that's right, nuts have gotten a lot of attention of late,
you know, walnuts to control dandruff and prevent the Winter blues,
pecans to keep skin smooth and alleviate the monthly pain a lot of 
women experience (PMS) and almonds, natural aspirin, (headache relief) 
and cancer fighters, but there's very little on chestnuts. 
Until now, and research says that chestnuts contain vitamin C,
a vitamin that helps break down fat, especially fat that tries to settle around
your middle and speeds up your metabolism. 

So,  if you plan on indulging in nuts this holiday season, remember the song by
Nat King Cole and (the actual nuts) chestnuts. 
And lastly, if you aren't sure how to roast chestnuts, head on over to

of that dry air and heat, make sure you take care of your skin.

and cinnamon. 

Mix together a Tbs. of cornmeal, a tsp. of honey, a 1/4 tsp. of cinnamon

The Sweet Treat For Beautiful Hair!

                                      A Beverage For Your Hair! 

If you're a fan of health news, then you're probably aware of the news surrounding 
Coca Cola.
What type of news?
It (the soda) can cause weight gain, acne, heart trouble, hearing  and tooth loss, 
brittle bones, etc. 

But hold on, something you eat that may harm your health,
can be worn (as a facial or hair mask) and do great things for your looks.
Things like mayonnaise, (a mayo face mask) egg yolks, (yolks to
keep skin tight and youthful) lard and vegetable oil, (yes, that lard, can be used as
a moisturizer) and cocoa cola for your hair. 

Yes, a coca cola hair rinse is all the rage, (go online for proof)
and some who have used it claim...it's a little messy, but it has given their
hair tons of volume and natural waves, and others have said it makes their
hair look shiny, and even leaves it smelling great.

So, how does it (coca cola) work its magic?
Coca Cola has phosphoric acid and this type of acid tightens the hair cuticle
to create shinier hair, while the caffeine in it helps fatten up the strands at
the roots.

That's it- so are you game? If so, purchase some coca cola, and after washing 
your hair, use some coke as a rinse. (preferably while standing in the shower).
And for more info, head to Google.com and type Coca Cola hair rinse in the
search bar.

T.V. Show's Rx For Youthful Skin!

                              The Doctor's Rx For Youthful Skin!

If you're a fan of the T.V. show -"The Doctors" then give yourself a pat on the back. 
Why?
It shows you're interested in your health and well-being.
And if you caught this morning's show- they (The Doctors) did an interesting 
segment on beauty remedies from around the World. 
More specifically: Korea. 

Yes, Chinese and Japanese women get all of the attention when it comes
to youthful skin and looks, but the women of Korea should also
be included in this discussion. 

And if you want youthful skin (hands, face and neck) like the women of
Korea, head to the supermarket (or your own pantry) and pick up some rice.
That's right, a researcher who studied Asian women and their work habits 
noticed something unusual about Asian women who worked in the rice fields,
What did the researcher notice?
Although the women looked their age in the face, their hands looked
like the hands of teenagers.
How was this possible? 
Rice water. 

Oh, rice is getting a bad rap here in the U.S. (especially white rice)
you know, it's too high calorie, it starchy, it contains gluten (rice is actually 
gluten-free) and on and on.
But if you don't want to eat it, that's fine, just wear it. 
Wear it, how?
As in pouring a cup or two of rice into a bowl, and then pouring a cup or
two of water over the rice and leaving it alone for a day or two.
After that, take the water and place it in a container, or spray bottle
as for  the rice, cook it or discard it.
Now, use the water as you would a moisturizer.

Top Star's Rx For Beating Winter Cravings!

                           Stop The Winter Cravings! 

It's no secret many of us have more cravings in the Winter- more than any other time
of the year, and why is that you ask?
Less sunlight, being stuck indoors, not able to or willing to exercise
outside and of course, the endless array of (fattening) food, from Halloween
to Valentine's day.
And if you're one of the millions who struggle with this every yr. then you may
want to adopt the food secret one of America's favorite stars uses not only to
keep appetite under control, but hopefully live a few yrs. longer. 
First, the star: 
Cameron Diaz
and her food secret: Oatmeal.

That's right, Ms. Diaz who takes her health very seriously learned that
oatmeal contains a number of benefits- in terms of longevity and improved
health.
Plus, new research says that those struggling with an out-of-control 
appetite (especially during the Winter) should start each day with a 
bowl of good quality (slow-cooked) oatmeal.
Don't believe it?
Google Minnesota Oatmeal club. Started by moms, teachers, sisters
and wives- this group of women noticed and then charted their success stories
online with regards to Oatmeal. 

And why is oatmeal such a boon to one's appetite and weight?
It contains a special type of fiber that helps keep blood sugar
steady,  and this in turn, causes the body to produce less
belly-fattening insulin and it also helps fight hunger.
Again, the special fiber called beta-glucan stimulates responses in the
mouth that reduces your hunger, as the day goes on.
Some women have said, that they're not hungry at 11:00 am or even 1:00 pm.
And something more astonishing, some women have said that as the days
and weeks passed, they stopped craving burgers, fries, candy, hot dogs and pizza.
Yes, it (oatmeal) can even help kill cravings.
And lastly, if weight isn't an issue- you may want to eat more oatmeal for some other
benefits like...
A boost in Immunity-
fight off cold viruses and diseases by eating more oatmeal
Lower your odds of getting breast cancer-
pytochemicals in oatmeal- help optimize a woman's hormone levels,
reducing breast cancer risk by up to 60%.
Boost energy levels-
The women who started each day with oatmeal, say oatmeal boosted
their energy levels and put an end to their procrastinating.
So, if you're looking a for "a natural diet pill" look no farther than that
box of oatmeal on your supermarket shelf.
And if you don't have time to cook, (or wait) and want to use
instant oatmeal, just make sure to add some protein to it. Why?
(an egg or two, some plain yogurt, or a few slices of turkey or chicken breast) 
Protein slows digestion, helping the instant oats provide you with the same 
slimming benefits you'll get from the slow-cooked kind. 

Look for more on Cameron Diaz and anti-aging by heading online to Amazon.com/the
kindle store and typing The 101 Best Ways To Make It To 100.
Type the title into the search bar and learn how Ms. Diaz, Clint Eastwood, 
Cloris Leachman, footballer Herschel Walker, and Tom Selleck all plan on living till

A Simple Rx For Music Lovers!

                              Get Rid Of Earworms! 

What are "Earworms" you ask?
You know,  a song that plays non-stop in your head.
And if you plan on getting some Christmas shopping done today,
you're probably gonna get an earworm or two.
And how do you stop the song "Hello" or "I Can't
Feel My Face" out of your head? 
Stick a piece of gum in your mouth.
 
Gum?
Yes, that's right, scientists tried a number of things and then settled on
gum as the best way to get Adele out of your head. 
The scientists say that gum chewing activates your brain in a way that's
similar to talking to yourself.
And because of that, it shifts your focus and allows your mind to move past
the non-stop song and back into the present moment. 

So remember, if you plan on hitting a mall or staying home to clean,
chew some gum and you'll be able to say Goodbye to Hello.

Good Luck!

T.V. Chef's Rx For The Juiciest Turkey Ever!

                             Recipe For The Perfect Turkey! 

If you're a fan of the Food network, then you're well aware that we (the viewing
public) will be hit with an onslaught of Thanksgiving day recipes and tips
in the next 2 wks.
And if you enjoy these types of shows, then by all means, continue to watch.
But, if you're not a fan or just don't have the time, that's okay as well. 

And if you plan on making turkey, and want a recipe for the "juiciest turkey"
ever, copy this recipe from none other than Food network star, Ree Drummond. 
AKA the "Pioneer Woman" says that brining your turkey first, is the key to a
turkey that's succulent and brimming with flavor. 

What is brining, you ask?
Soaking or saturating the turkey (meat) in a salty solution for a day or two before cooking it.
And the Pioneer woman's best brine for your turkey is...
Ingredients:
3 cups of apple juice or cider (not vinegar)
2 gallons of cold water
2 cups of brown sugar
1 1/2 cup kosher salt
1/4 cups fresh rosemary leaves
3 Tbs. peppercorns
6 cloves of garlic
5 whole bay leaves
the peel of 3 or 4 large oranges and get as pith (the white part)
as you can.
Directions:
Place all of the ingredients in a large pot, turn on the heat and simmer just
until the sugar and salt dissolve. Turn off the heat, and let it cool completely. 
Next,   look for a pan, tub, pail, whatever--something that can 
accommodate a 10, 15, or 20 pound turkey.  Place the turkey into the pot, pan, tub,
plastic bag, whatever, and then the brine, cover and leave in the refrigerator
or if you're lucky enough to live in Alaska, Minnesota or Buffalo N.Y. (colder
environments) place the bird and brine on an outdoor porch or tool shed for a day or two. 
(make sure no wildlife can get to it, cats, dogs, wolves, bears, or Raccoons).
And in a day or two, discard the brine, pat dry the turkey,
add some melted butter or oil, spices and herbs to it and then cook it.
Another great tip: place the turkey on the lowest rack, why?
Heat rises and if it (the turkey)  is at top of the oven it'll cook too fast.
Another great tip: From Wolfgang Puck and Rita Wilson, (Mrs. Tom Hanks)
place the turkey breast-side down. Why? All of the juices flow to the bottom,
which will make the breasts (white meat) much more juicier. 

That's it- a recipe for the "juiciest turkey ever" courtesy of the Pioneer Woman!

A Stylist's Rx For Picking The Perfect Jeans!

                                   Choosing Jeans That Flatter Your Body! 

A lot of stars enjoy wearing great looking gowns to attend certain events, and
then there are a lot of stars who just prefer to wear their jeans, a T-shirt
and some comfortable shoes (sneakers). 

And if you're the type that prefers the "jeans" over ball gowns, then make sure

Not sure how to do that?
Well, look at the tips below, they're from a Hollywood stylist who has helped plenty

a) Begin With This-
The perfect foundation. Dark-colored jeans that flare slightly from the knee
to ankle (like boot cut to straight leg styles) without heavy whiskering
or rips are the most shape-flattering cuts you can find.

up to your face and visually thin out your torso.
d) Choose The Right Top-
You have shoes and a scarf, now it's time to pick your top.

d) Where to Shop-
You can find all types of jeans online at places like Zappos.com,
or FullBeauty.com, Jaclyn Smith at Kmart.com or Chadwicks.com.

Simple Tips To Prevent Cancer!

                           6 Tips To Keep Cancer At Bay! 

If you think Hollywood stars have it easier when it comes to cancer prevention,
you're wrong.
Cancer doesn't care whether you live in Beverly Hills, Cal. and earn millions of dollars
or if you live in Kirkland Washington, and earn about 40,000 dollars each yr. 
And if you're into pop and celebrity culture, then you're well aware that a number 
of stars are cancer survivors. (Christine Applegate, Hoda Kotb,  and Brook Burke
Charvet). 

Okay, now that you know cancer doesn't discriminate, it's time to do something about it,
and that something: six simple steps and these steps come from top doctor, Mark Hyman, M.D.
His six tips:
a) Ditch Sugar-
Impossible? Not so. Dr. Hyman says an occasional piece of birthday cake or wedding cake
is okay, but flooding your body with candy, having a  daily danish and a sweet treat at night
on a daily basis is a recipe not only for cancer, but diabetes,  frequent colds,
 bad skin, (acne and eczema) and cravings (which may lead to obesity).
b) Food Sensitivities-
Simply put, read labels. If a food has more than 3 ingredients listed on it, then it may be
a food or beverage you should avoid. Foods that contain a whole list of ingredients
to help preserve them, may be doing the opposite to your health. Another way to avoid this-
start cooking and preparing more of your own meals, so you know exactly what's going into them. 
c) Reduce Inflammation-
Think of inflammation as someone standing or sitting next to you and sneezing without covering
their mouth. That what inflammation is- that sneeze that goes everywhere, into your joints, 
organs, tissue, and arteries. And you can reduce inflammation by eating better,  stop drinking 
and smoking, ( 1 drink a day is okay)
getting more sleep, (especially from 11:00 pm to 2:00 am). exercising more and drinking 
top quality teas (without sugar and a danish)
d) Reduce Toxic Exposure- 
Almost impossible, but it can be minimized. Stop using all types of household cleaners,
(Mr. Clean, pine-sol, Lysol, oven cleaners, etc. ) This also goes for personal hygiene
items, certain types of candles,  cooking foods at high temperatures (without a fan)
and on and on. And what do you use instead? You can go online to Google.com
and type how to make a natural bug spray, deodorant, toothpaste, or oven cleaner.
And if money isn't an issue- go to Honest.com and look for all-natural products
there. (and yes, it's the company started and managed by actress Jessica Alba). 
As for the outdoor exposures- the smoke and fumes from buses, cabs, factories,
etc. you may want to think about moving (if you're exposed to these things) or wear a
gas or cloth mask while you're out.
e) Change Your Thoughts-
Again something that may seem impossible. Are you angry with a co-worker, 
or a friend (who's owed you money for yrs.) or a family member?
Believe it or not, negative thoughts just like a poor diet and smoking can cause havoc on
your immune system. So, how does one go about changing the negative self-talk?
You can go to Google.com for some answers or watch youtube videos on meditating 
or changing one's thoughts or you may want to find a therapist in your area, who can help you
learn to forgive and forget.
f) Drink More-
Water. Believe it or not, water can flush out a lot of toxins and impurities that
may develop into cancer. In fact, one doctor prescribed a few glasses of water
right after getting up in the morning to avoid cancer and other health issues. 
One warning- doing this (especially in the beginning) may lead to frequent
trips to the bathroom, nos. 1 and 2) just space out the water breaks and make sure
you're drinking a top quality of water.

That's it- 6 simple things you can do to keep yourself cancer-free.

Good Luck!

And less bacteria in your mouth means you lower the risk of gingivitis and cavities.
And one last tip: make sure to eat fresh cranberries. Canned cranberries
and all of that sugar only makes things worse- for your mouth.
Look for recipes to make fresh cranberries online.
c) Yams- 
Are you getting up there in age? Is menopause making life unbearable?
Then start eating yams. The darker skin tubers can increase your levels
of protective hormones by a whopping 25%, and lower the levels of harmful hormones.
Plus, balancing hormones lowers your odds of becoming obese,  frail (osteoporosis)
and cancer ridden.
One more tip- It's rumored that a village in Nigeria, where the women eat yams
almost everyday of the wk. give birth to twins and triplets at higher rates than
women anywhere else in the World.
Again, yams balance hormones and those balanced hormones may produce
multiple births.
Bake yams in the oven and eat with some honey, butter, cinnamon, nutmeg
and allspice.
d) Turkey-
No, turkey isn't fattening. Although it can be when you add stuffing, gravy, rolls,
Mac & Cheese, canned cranberries and a slice of sweet potato, or pumpkin
or pecan, but eat it alone and you can boost hair growth. 
That's right- turkey contains amino acids that reduce breakage, strengthen follicles,
and increases keratin (the protein that gives hair its shine).
And something even better- if your hair suffers from too much heat- (curling 
irons, or the Sun) over-processing or frequent dye jobs eat more turkey.
What type of turkey works best? Dark meat is more beneficial for your hair.
Save up the white meat and eat it if you want to dream up something creative.
(like a screenplay.
That's it- the real benefits of Thanksgiving dinner. The beauty benefits.

Good Luck!

Morning Show's Rx For Your Holiday Cooking!

                              Make Tasty Side Dishes! 

All this week the "Today show" is all about Thanksgiving...
Thanksgiving cooking.
Monday's show featured chef Curtis Stone making (in his words and
the cohosts' words, "the juiciest turkey ever." 

And on this morning's show- co-host Carson Daly's  main squeeze-Suri Pinter.
and her specialty--Side dishes.
If you're one who makes the same old mashed potatoes, or green beans, or
plain rice, why not add a few spices, herbs, cheeses and fruits to some old time
favorite side dishes. 

Not sure how? Just look below...
1) Gravy-
Don't just add a little salt and pepper to your turkey drippings gravy, 
really spice it up with some herbs. Add parsley, thyme, rosemary and a little
white wine and really get your guests talking (and asking for more).
2) Rolls-
Yes, you add butter, ho-hum and boring.
This yr. add some finely chopped basil,  grated Parmesan, and add it to
melted butter, stir and when the rolls are done, brush this combo over your 
just-out-of the oven rolls.
3) Rice-
Yes, gravy poured over rice is delicious, but this yr. make your rice extra special
by sauteeing a few pieces of chopped butternut squash and some chopped leaks
in a little butter or olive oil and then add them to the rice.
One more tip: make sure to really clean the leeks.
4) Cranberry sauce-
You can make your own or buy some. And if you're not to ambitious and want to 
buy a can, add some thawed frozen strawberries and chopped apples (diced
into bit-sized pieces) or pears to the canned cranberry sauce.
5) Magic Mashed Potatoes-
There's "Magic Mike" and now there's "Magic Mashed Potatoes"
and if the gravy poured atop your potatoes is getting a little too boring
and tiresome, just tuck some sour cream, crumpled up bacon, (cooked)
and chopped scallions into your boiled potatoes.
6) Stuffed Stuffing-
Yes, cornbread or plain ole bread stuffing with celery, sausage, carrots,
onions and turkey drippings will most likely be on most tables, but 
if you're the daring type and want a stuffing reminiscent of a fruitcake, 
then by all means--go for it...Add seedless grapes, toasted chopped walnuts,
dried cherries, or slivered almonds.

And if you want even more- like how to fix burnt gravy, salty gravy, 
mushy stuffing,  or under cooked turkey--head to Amazon.com/
the kindle store and download, see title below....

Boy Band's Rx For Staying Lean and Mean!

                            Coffee For A Leaner Figure! 

Harry Styles of the "boy band" One Direction, 
says the secret to his lean and trim figure is coffee. 
Not just any coffee, but "Bullet-Proof" coffee.

A Horror Movie Rx For Better Night's Sleep!

                                          Improve Sleep With Scary Thoughts! 

That's not a misprint, thinking scary thoughts can help you get to sleep and 
stay asleep.
On this morning's edition of "Good Morning America" the host did another story on
sleep, or the importance of getting between 7 to 8 hours each night.
Anything less and you risk heart trouble, diabetes, certain cancers
(especially breast cancer) and a mushy middle. (middle-age spread)

And if you're in the less than 6 hours each night camp and want to change that, 
then you better start thinking about something scary.
To do it--Just head to bed and let any thought, scary or unpleasant, (feuding 
with a co-worker or family member also count) fill your mind. 
Do this and in the future, give it (the thought) a time limit, (set a timer if you have to)
and after the time is up, tell yourself (I am done thinking about that scene from
that particular scary movie or my feud with my co-worker) and start to replace the 
negative thinking with some positive thinking, like...
" I will get to sleep and stay asleep" or " that scene from that scary movie
won't keep me up".
Scientists theorize that trying to block or not think about negative thoughts
only makes falling asleep that much more difficult.
Plus, you may even dream about the negative movie scene or work situation.
So, if you've been hampered by anything negative and it's affecting your sleep,
try this simple technique.
And if you need more all-natural and healthy alternatives to help you
sleep, head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type....

and see title to the right.
Learn a number of things like...
the perfect tea to help you sleep, a breathing technique,
yoga poses, and the foods that will help your body makes its own melatonin.
Hey, it's a heck of a lot cheaper and safer than Ambien. 

Good Luck!

The Horror Movie Rx For Younger Skin!

                       Turn Back The Clock! 

If you're a fan of horror movies or horror "love" stories, then you're well aware
that the vampire is a constant theme in a lot of horror movies going back
100 yrs. 

And if you particularly enjoy movies with vampires, you may also enjoy this
bit of news about anti-aging and looking younger. 
What is it?
Cosmetic surgeons have figured out a way to use your own blood
to help smooth away fine lines and wrinkles, add firmness and give your
skin that healthy and youthful glow. 

That's right, called the "vampire facelift" and it may be the "next big
thing" in cosmetic surgery.
So big in  fact, Kim K. has even tried it. 

And if you're wondering, how is it done?
The first step requires that a few drops of blood be taken from a vein, 
next, platelets--tiny cells in the blood that are important for clotting and tissue
repair are taken to create platelet-rich blood.
Then-they use a very fine needle to inject the rich blood into targeted areas of the face,
where it stimulates the formation of healthy new skin cells, blood vessels, collagen
and skin-smoothing fatty tissue.
This new procedure can be done alone or with Botox, chemical peels 
or fillers. 

Does it work and when will one see results?
It does take time, about 3 months to be exact, but after that, you should expect
to see fewer lines and wrinkles and firmer skin.
What does it cost?
It depends, if you just want your forehead done or if you want the whole face done. 
Starting price about $800. 
Is it safe?
Yes, mainly because it's your blood and not the blood or fat from someone else,
and it's safer than silicone or other types of material that may cause infections,
and much worse. Plus, this idea isn't new- some Olympic teams in Europe used
to take the blood from athletes and re-inject them to help them heal
faster.

So, if you just want to look younger like Edward or Bella, or you just want to knock
off a few yrs. then go ahead and look into the "Vampire Facelift!"

Good Luck!

Natural Rxs To Avoid Getting Cancer!

                          Lower Your Cancer Rates! 

If you've been reading or watching the news this past week-then you
probably know all about the World Health Organization's warnings
about red and processed meats, (salami, bacon, spam, pastrami,
ham, bologna and America's beloved hot dogs). 

And even if you avoid all of the things listed, you may still get cancer.
That's right, even Hollywood and well-paid newswomen and personalities
are vulnerable, stars like---Angelina Jolie, Robin Roberts, Amy Robach, Hoda Kotb,
Valerie Harper,  Wanda Sykes, Christina Applegate Tom Brokaw, and Rita Wilson.

And if you think a strict vegetarian diet will keep you cancer-free, you're wrong. 
According to new research, there may be over 100 things that may cause cancer,
and unfortunately, you may come in contact with dozens of these things daily,
things like...
* Tobacco Smoke
* Sunlaps and Sunbeds,
* aluminum products
* Arsenic in water
* Coal tar distribution
* Chimney Sweeps
* Rubber industry
* Drinking to excess
* Diesel exhaust
* Furniture and cabinet making
* Cleaning products
Plus, many, many more.
And if you want the whole list of 116, head to Dailymail.co.uk.
type cancer prevention in the search bar.
And one more thing, if you or someone close to has cancer, you may
want to pick a new book available online at Amazon.com/ in the kindle store.
The book: Curing Cancer with Carrots. A woman claims she was able to cure an advanced
case of colon cancer by drinking lots of carrot juice.

Good Luck!
