Star's Rx For a Healthier Snack!

                          Snack Like Gwyneth! 

Gwyneth Paltrow doesn't endear herself to many people
when she talks about her diet.
Some see her diet as something that's too unattainable and impossible
to follow (long-term) but Ms. Paltrow only sees it as a way to improve one's
health and longevity and if you want to follow in her footsteps, then
you should try snacking like she does.

Snacking?
Yes, even Ms. Paltrow has snack attacks and the way she conquers
those attacks is with an alternative to a fattier and unhealthy snack.
The snack she prefers: Chips and the healthier alternative she favors: 
Beet Chips.

Beet chips?
Yes, you may remember kale chips were all the rage about 3 to 5 yrs. ago, but
today, Ms. Paltrow prefers thinly sliced beets that have a little olive or coconut oil 
on them and then baked (on a cookie sheet) for 20 mins. at 325 degrees. 

Not a fan of beets?
That's okay-try turnip chips or green squash chips or parsnip chips,
you get to make that decision and if you need something to dip your
chips in, here's a recipe for a great tasting salsa, using the fruit
that's plentiful this time of year... Watermelon.
The recipe for watermelon-avocado salsa.
Combine 2 cups of diced watermelon, (without the seeds)
along with 1 ripe avocado (also diced) some chopped red onion,
(1/4) cup, minced chili pepper or chili powder, salt,
and some lime juice (a few Tbs.)
That's it, and if you're a fan of mango, use it, or peaches, use them as well.

That's it, and remember, Ms. Paltrow only wants you to be your healthy best.

Good Luck!

A Morning Show Host's Fruit Rx For a Youthful Body!

                                   An Apple A Day For George! 

We've mentioned it in  2, 3 or maybe even more posts, but it needs to
be repeated. 
What is it? "Good Morning America's co-host George Stephanopolous
eats an apple every day. 

And what so special about this bit of news?
Well, the old adage--"an apple a day-keeps the doctor away"
may very well be true, and it (an apple) also keeps
plaque from attaching to arteries in the brain and heart,
(lower chances of developing heart disease or Alzheimer's)
helps prevent gallstones
Parkinson's disease
Keeps you regular (as in more bowel movements)
whiter teeth, (eat an apple if no toothbrush is around)
lowers cholesterol levels
regulates blood sugar (lower odds of getting diabetes)
It's a  natural appetite suppressant (eat one before you
take on that burger and fries or deep dish pizza) 
And according to the latest research-- They (apples) can keep your body supple, 
limber, strong and youthful well into your golden yrs. 

We know that many in Hollywood  are obsessed
with keeping their faces youthful, but what about their bodies?
If you're only concerned with the lines, the sagging and the plain old aging of your face, it's time you also gave some consideration to your body, 
and one way to turn back and even stop your body from aging is by eating more apples.
More specifically- the skin of the apples.
Apple skins contain compounds in them called Ursolic acid, and this type of acid lessens muscle loss and weakness by a whopping 35%.

So, are you ready to be more like George Step. and eat more apples (and their skins)? 
If so, look for apples at any produce store, health-food store or supermarket and
get started on a youthful face and body.
And if you can't afford to buy organic, just make sure to really clean the peels
thoroughly, and if you can't chew the peel, clean them and juice them.
Also helpful- if you really want to speed up the process for a stronger and younger body, 
eat some other foods that contain ursolic acid, foods like cranberries,
prunes, thyme, basil, oregano and rosemary. 

And one last tip: Go back in our archives, and look for the apple and 
milk mask recipe. A mask so powerful, one woman said that if you start 
using it in your 20's, it'll help you look 10, 12 or even 15 yrs. younger
well into your 40's, 50's and even 60's. 
Hey, it's working for George, he'll be 60 in less than 5 yrs.
Or you can forgo this tip and eat the food Donald Trump reportedly eats
everyday, what is it?
A Cheeseburger.

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!

Good Morning America's Rx For Great Health!

                      An Apple A Day! 

Did you see "Good Morning America" this morning?
Co-host Lara Spencer reported on apples.
What's so unusual about that?
Ms. Spencer reported that women who eat an apple or two
a day, can improve their sex lives.

Researchers say that apples may improve arousal,  lubrication, 
and orgasms.
In fact, that may be true, but if women really want their
own version of Viagra, they should eat  all types of fruit.
That's right, a top "sexpert" says that men and women can
improve their sex lives by adding some watermelon, plums,
cantaloupe, kiwi, strawberries and apples to their daily diets.
And there's more, if you really want to know more about
improving your sex life, head to Amazon.com/the kindle store
and type All Natural Rxs To Boost The Female Libido in
the search bar. Download it you'll learn which specific fruits boost the
female sex drive, you'll also learn the vitamins, the minerals
and the exercises to really turbocharge your sex drive-naturally
and without any side effects.

Now, back to "GMA" and the apples.
As Ms. Spencer was telling her story (about apples and female libido)
Robin Roberts revealed that her other co-host, George Stephanopoulos, 
eats an apple everyday.
That's right, Mr. Stephanopoulos eats one everyday without fail,
and if you should copy George, and do the same, then you
should also know about some of the benefits you'll receive, 
benefits like...
a) Reduction in Appetite-
Apples are considered "nature's best, safest and cheapest diet pills.
Eat one before your lunch or dinner and it'll help you eat less of
that lasagna or fried chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy.
Hey, it must be be working, Mr. Stephanopoulis weighs exactly the same
as he did in college.
b) Lower Cholesterol-
Is your Dr. trying to push the " you must take statin drugs to reduce
your cholesterol" at you? Tell him or her, you'd like to try
an apple or two a day, first.
c) Lung Cancer-
Ladies, think breast cancer is the cancer you should only be
concerned about? Not so, lung cancer is affecting more women
than men today. Why? Smaller lungs, and it doesn't matter if you've
never smoked. Apples help lower your odds of ever getting it.
Make sure you eat the peel, that's what really helps you to 
prevent lung cancer.
d) Youthful Skin-
A woman heard about the benefits of apples to help prevent wrinkles.
Well, she not only ate them, she wore them as well. Wearing apples?
Yes, as in a mask. She peeled and sliced one apple, placed the 
slices in a small saucepan and added some milk. (1/4 cup)
She let the milk and apple simmer for a few mins. turned off
the stove, let the apples sit for a few mins. removed the
milk and then placed the apple slices into a bowl.
She then sat in her recliner, leaned back a bit and placed the
apple slices on her face, neck and hands (on top of her hands)
stayed there for 15 mins. and finished up by removing the apples, 
and rinsing her face with warm water.
She started doing this at age 32 and today, at 65, she's wrinkle-free.
She also did other things, like eat right and exercise.

So, if you heard the saying "an apple a day" and weren't sure
what it meant or what were the benefits, now you know.
And as for George Stephanopoulos, continue doing it,
you could be Donald Trump, it's rumored he has a cheeseburger
every single day.

Good Luck!

GMA's NonSweet Rx For Better Health!

                Going Sugarless! 
If you caught this morning's edition of "Good Morning America"
then yousaw weekend anchor Dan Harris and Katie Couric. 
Mr. Harris interviewed Katie about her new documentary--"Fed Up!"
What's it about? 
How our (America's) love affair with sugar is causing more than big waistlines. 
And it's just not warning about the harmful effects of sugar,
but how it's everywhere--salad dressing, soy sauce, tomato
sauce and unsweetened juices.

The documentary asks you (the viewer) to give up sugar
for 10 days. If you were asked, could you give it up?
Well, Mr. Harris took Katie up on the challenge and
didn't have a sweet treat for 10 days.
Mr. Harris revealed that he doesn't smoke, or drink, 
and eats plenty of fruits and vegetables, his only
vice: Sweets.
Mr. Harris also revealed that he likes a piece of cake
or some cookies before bed, and that going without
for ten days was difficult.

Well, Mr. Harris survived and reported that he slept a whole
lot better. And when the 10 days were up, he searched his house
and found some Swedish Fish. (candy).
As for Katie who took the 10 day challenge, she reported losing
some fat in her stomach and waking up earlier, feeling refreshed
and raring to go.
Sugar like wheat, is one food that Hollywood always seems to be
eliminating at some point and time.
Could you do it?
If you want to try, watch more of Dan Harris and his abstaining from
sugar, on tonight's edition of Nightline. Or watch Katie Couric's
full documentary --"Fed Up!"
And if you try it, you'll be in good company, some other celebrities
who've tried it for 10 days and one who did it permanently.
The star who did it for ten days--Jenny McCarthy of The View.
After the 10 days, she reported that her joints stopped aching.
Consider sugar a food that can inflame your joints, arms, feet,
back, knees and your heart and brain.

And the star who did it (gave up sugar permanently): Jack Lalanne.
Jack Lalanne- many of you may remember his juicers or exercise
studios and at 15, he went after his brother with an axe.
Asking for and looking for a change, Jack attended a health seminar
in his hometown,
the subject: the dangers of white foods, too much meat and sugar.
After hearing that lecture, Mr. Lalanne changed his diet (at 15, 
no more burgers, fries and milkshakes) and the rest is history.
One more story about Jack Lalanne. He opened up his first exercise
studio in Southern California, and one of his first pupils' was a man 
who would go on to become "Dirty Harry"
That's right, Clint Eastwood, also changed his diet (at 19) and followed Jack's
workout and diet advice and today, he's still directing movies and acting.
His age: 84 in about 9 days.

And one more thing about GMA, the hosts talked
about a new type of female Viagra being tested.
Ladies, don't waste time looking for the female Viagra,
just head to your supermarket and pick up fresh
and frozen fruit, eat 2 small bowls a day along with 2 small
meals of chicken, lean beef, or salmon, along with stir-fried
or steamed veggies and some brown rice (or quinoa).
And if that's not enough, and you're willing to spend
about $2, head to Amazon.com.the kindle store and download 
a copy of Libido Boosters For Women.
In it, you'll find foods (like specific fruits), vitamins and supplements
that'll work better than any untested and not yet available
"Female Viagra."

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Rx Just For Younger Women!

                Mammograms For Younger Women!

Ladies, remember when Good Morning co-host Amy Robach,
announced she had breast cancer? 
She was 40 and thought she was too young for a mammogram.
Well, Robin Roberts told her "put those fears aside and do it."
Ah, the wisdom of someone older, Robin Roberts was right,
new research says that women should be getting mammograms
in their late 30's and early 40's.

Why?
The earlier you have a mammogram, the better the medical 
professionals are able to catch a tumor at its smallest
and you may not need chemotherapy. 
And you may be wondering why women who look as healthy
as Ms. Robach are getting breast cancer.
Believe it or not, it's something you may be avoiding that's causing it.
What is that? No Sun or too little Sun,
Yup, women who live in California, Florida and Arizona have lower
rates of breast cancer than those who live in Mass. Ohio, Michigan
and Minn.

Researchers say that the vitamin D you get from the Sun, helps keep 
you breast cancer-free and if you're like Ms. Robach and working indoors 
most of the week, you're not getting any exposure to Sun.
So, what do you do?
You can move to Hollywood (not a possibility?) or you can get more D from
supplements (check with your Dr. on amounts) or you can eat
more foods like sockeye salmon, mackerel, shiitake and white button
mushrooms and herring.
And if you're able-get some Sun, 15 to 20 mins. with no sunscreen,
and a little more for people of Color. (Lupita Nyong'o).

Need more tips on how to stay breast cancer-free?
Head to Amazon.com/ the kindle store and check out The Superfoods That'll
Prevent Breast Cancer. Type it into the search bar and then download it.

Good Luck!

Rhi-Rhi's Rx For New Moms!

                                Singing To Baby!
New research proves that singing to baby does work.
That's right- singing a lullaby to your baby while they're
crying helps calm and relax them.

From age 6 months to 4 yrs. hearing gentle lullabies
like "Twinkle-Twinkle Little Star" lowered their
heart rate and reduced their anxiety far more effectively
than reaching for a children's book.

So, if you're a new mom or a mom who has a 2, 3 or 4 yr. old,
remember that a lullaby does work.
And moms, don't worry if you don't sing like Mariah Carey or 
Rhi-Rhi, (aka Rhianna) your baby won't mind at that age.

Good Luck!

Good Morning America's Rx For Better Health!

                              Boost Health Through Prayer! 

Good Morning America's popular host Robin Roberts is back on the air.
If you're wondering about she was able to bounce back after a serious
illness we're not totally sure.

One thing we're sure about is that prayer was one of the things she
used to help herself get back to work.
Prayer? That's right- saying a prayer or attending church on a regular basis
can help with all kinds of ailments, like...anxiety, weight loss, sleeplessness
or all-around bad health.

So, if you're a believer like Robin Roberts and want a prayer to use
to help you with some illness or ailment that may be affecting you, 
here's the prayer:
                "God's Love!"
* The Light Of God Surrounds Me.
* The Love Of God Enfolds Me.
* The Power Of God Protects Me.
* The Presence Of God Watches Over Me.
   And wherever I am, God is.

There you have it- a simple prayer, say it a few times when you
wake up and then again-a few times before turning in.

Good Luck!
