A Model's Smoothie Rx For The New Year!

                                A Smoothie For Improved Health! 

Supermodel Christie Brinkley has been all over the news the past few yrs.
telling any and everyone how she manages to look so good for someone
over the age of 60. 

She told us about her diet, (a vegetarian diet) her exercise regime, (yoga
and walking on the beach) her hair extensions, and how she exfoliates, 
(to keep her skin youthful). 
Well now, there's more, Ms. Brinkley has revealed her remedy for all-day
energy and to control appetite. 
What's her secret?
It's a smoothie. 

Yes, the same thing soccer star and sexiest man alive David Beckham 
swears by, and if you want to take after Ms. Brinkley and have a smoothie 
2, 4 or even 7 days a week, the recipe is listed below. 
The Christie Brinkley Green Energy Drink....
Put 1 cup of kale (cleaned and chopped) into a juicer or blender
along with 1/4 cup of avocado, the juice from 1 orange, the juice from 1/2 lime, 
6 ice cubes and 1/2 cup of coconut water.
Blend until smooth and drink up.
Antioxidants in the kale and citrus juices provide you with fast fuel for
your tired out cells and the coconut water and the fat from an avocado
prod your body to burn fat which also boosts energy levels. 

And lastly, Ms. Brinkley also says this smoothie helps get rid of
belly fat and love handles.
So, if you're not that into breakfast in the morning or you want to pass
on the burger, chips and candy during the afternoon hours, have this 
green smoothie instead and hopefully, you too, can look and feel as youthful as 
Ms. Brinkley. 

And if you want more great tips from Christie Brinkley on health and longevity,
head to your supermarket or local pharmacy and pick up a copy of this month's
"First For Women" It should be on newsstands for another week.

Good Luck!

                     A Smoothie For Your Teeth! 

With all of the talk being focused on youthful bodies and faces, there's
another part of the body a number of stars have to be concerned with,
what part of the body is that?
The teeth and gums.
And if you're a star in Hollywood or just a working mom from Bristol Tennessee,
keeping your teeth and gums in tiptop shape means not only looking more
appealing, it can also help you live an extra 7 to 10 yrs. longer.
Yes, 7 to 10 yrs. longer. New research says that a number of viruses (germs)
can enter through broken teeth or tears in the gums and that jump start
heart disease and other diseases, all of which can shorten your life by a
few months or years.

So, now that you have a little more info about keeping your teeth and gums
in great shape, it's time to learn about a beverage that can do just that.
The beverage is a smoothie and it's no secret that soccer and commercial
star David Beckham has a smoothie almost every day of the week,
and if you don't want your teeth to "bend like Beckham's" make 
and drink the following smoothie....

The smoothie:
A Spiced Cranberry Smoothie! 
Ingredients:
1/2 cup pure cranberry juice (remember no sugar added)
2 canned pear halves,
2 Tbs of the pear juice
2 large Medjool dates, pitted*
1/2 tsp. vanilla extract
1/4 tsp. freshly grated orange zest (the peel)
1/2 tsp. chia seeds
1/8 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 cup Ice
--------------------------------------
Directions: 
Place all of the ingredients into a blender, everything except the Ice. 
Blend until smooth. Add the ice and blend again, pour into a tall glass
or 2 smaller glasses and enjoy.
* Look for Medjool dates at health food store or a specialty food shop.
 Or just use regular dates.
Benefits of The Ingredients: 
Cranberries-
With Thanksgiving a few wks, away, make sure to stock up on fresh cranberries
as they're one of the best foods to help keep teeth and gums in tiptop shape.
The compounds in in cranberries prevent plaque buildup.
The pears--the high fiber and enzymes in the Fall food keep bacteria
from invading and sticking to your teeth and gums. 
And lastly, the chia seeds- rich in calcium, a mineral that helps keep teeth
in their sockets.

And one last tip:

head on over to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type The Smoothies,
Shakes, Coffee and Tea Rxs For A Flatter Belly.

Hollywood's Green Rx For A Healthier Smoothie!

                               Drink This Not That! 

Hollywood can't take all of the credit for the current "smoothie" craze.
Smoothies have been around for about 2 decades now, but they're
much more prevalent thanks to a number of Hollywood stars.
(Especially David Beckham, who has a green smoothie almost everyday).

And if you're one who likes to have smoothies a few times a week,
you may want to take notice of this new danger in regards to the liquid
health meal.
What's the danger?
According to new research, too many smoothies (or salads) with raw kale
can cause a number of health issues.
That's right, it (kale) is considered a goitrogenic food and simply put,
this means it can enlarge your thyroid gland.
And not just kale, all cruciferous foods can cause this, foods like...
cabbage, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, watercress, arugula, 
collard, turnip and mustard greens.
Plus, having too many of these foods raw can also cause belly bloat and 
stomach discomfort.
So, do you give up all of these healthy vegetables? 
No, just have them raw every once in a while and steam or stir-fry--
 if you plan on eating or juicing them on a regular basis.

That's it- for today. 
And make sure to keep you and your loved ones  cool during these times of
unbearable and oppressive weather conditions.

Good Luck!
