The Holiday Food Rxs For Looking Youthful!

                           Eat Your Way Beautiful! 

On today's Ellen Degeneres show- she had on Martha Stewart.
And if you didn't see it, then you missed her cooking segment.
What type of cooking?
Ms. Stewart made wraps, more specifically- vegetable-filled wraps. 


The wraps were made especially for Ellen, a vegan and Drew Barrymore,
a vegetarian.
And if you're a "healthy" eater for any reason, (to maintain weight, look younger,
give you more energy, etc.)
then you may be surprised that Thanksgiving dinner can boost health and
help you look younger as well.
Thanksgiving dinner?
Yes, and if you need proof, continue reading...


a) Sweet Potatoes- 

Eaten plain or with a little butter, honey and spices- the orange tubers can help
fade those wrinkles and even prevent them. 

That's right, a leading anti-aging expert says that foods high in vitamin A
may be all the medicine you need for a youthful and taut complexion.
And sadly, too many woman avoid or neglect the high vitamin-A rich foods, and doing so
invites the fine lines and deep wrinkles.
So, eat some sweet potatoes, carrots, apricots, or pumpkin and become
your own version of "Benjamin Button."
b) Cranberries-
Want stronger teeth and gums? Eat cranberries.
Cranberries stop infection-causing bacteria from sticking to your teeth and gums.
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!

The Hope Springs Rx For Older Folks!

                          Finding Love Past Age 50! 

Do you remember the movie- "Hope Springs?"
It starred Tommy Lee Jones and Meryl Streep as a couple who go into

intense therapy to try and save their marriage.
If you're no where near the marriage stage, but just need to 

find a date, try online dating.

Once thought of as the place for those 30 and under, there are a
number of sites devoted to folks 50 and over.
To get you started, here are some things you can do to increase
your odds, things like...
a) Don't Let Fear Rule You-
You tried the online dating scene about 8 yrs. ago and it wasn't 

successful, and now you sworn off all dating sites. 
Ladies, come on, it's where the men are. It's about 55% men 
and 45% women. So see, with those odds you have to get
back in there and try again. 

b) More Details Please-
Ladies, instead of "I like Sundays, with breakfast in bed and
the morning paper."Be more specific, "I like blueberry pancakes
and the (name your hometown paper) in bed on Sunday mornings."
Always be specific, if you like movies, name your 2 or 3 favorite
movies or the genre. Like a type of restaurant,
name the type "Greek"  restaurant and the meal you like to order.
Details help attract the guys.
c) A Tip About E-Mail-
When e-mailing a prospective partner, keep it short and to the point,
about 2 to 3 lines should do. You may want to really talk about
your life, your hopes and your dreams, but with a guy's short attention
span, they may stop reading after the 3rd line. Plus, you want to leave
a little mystery for the first meeting. 

That's it- 3 tips for the future online daters out there.

And if you're concerned about staying in great shape and
preventing some of the health issues that come with age,
head on over to Amazon.com, in the kindle store.
and look for our "blockbuster" E-Document...
The 101 Best Ways To Make It To 100.
See title at right.
You worry about the online dating, we'll see to it that you

and the exercises to keep you dating for yrs. to come. 


Good Luck!

Drew Barrymore's Rxs For Wearing Makeup!

                              Making Your Makeup Last All-Day Long! 

Drew Barrymore is the latest star to lend her to a line of makeup.
Ms. Barrymore appeared on the T.V. show-"The View"
and told the panel that she won't just allow her name to appear 

on the makeup, she wants to get involved in all aspects of the makeup line.

Well, the following tip isn't from Ms. Barrymore, but it'll help all those 

women who want to make their makeup last all-day long.
If you're makeup fades by noon, it's most likely a foundation
problem. That's right- choose a foundation that best suits your skin type
and you'll look as good at night as you did in the morning.

Tip No. 1-
If you have oily skin, try a mineral powder or stick foundation.
These matte, dry formulas actually help absorb oils, so they're less likely
to slide off like creamy, oil-based foundations. Plus, they reduce the shine-
giving you a clear, even complexion.
To make your foundation stay- Don't apply foundation on your whole
face, instead-apply only where you need it to cover lines, blemishes or uneven
skin tone. The less foundation you have on-the less chance it'll slide all over the 

place.
Best Foundations To Choose-
Physicians Formula Healthy Wear Powder Foundation. price $15.
Or choose Iman Second To None Stick Foundation, price $15.

Tip No. 2-
IF you have dry skin, try a rich, creamy foundation with built-in moisturizing
like aloe, olive ot soybean oil. Matte, powdery formulas can look cakey and settle
into fine lines, but creamy foundations glide over flaws to create a smooth, even surface.
To make your foundation stay- before putting on your foundation, layer on a facial serum
followed by a cream moisturizer. The double layer of hydration keeps the foundation
from soaking into dry skin and disappearing before noon.
Best Foundation To Choose-
Revlon Age Defying Spa Foundation, price $15.

That's it- and if you want to look even better, try using the new makeup
from Drew Barrymore. 


Good Luck!

Drew Barrymore's Rx For A Slimming Soup Recipe!

                                   Get Slim Like Drew!
If you read yesterday's post about Drew Barrymore's interest in cooking
and eating soup, then you might be interested in this recipe for a soup

that's not only good to eat, but healthy for you as well.

Listed below are the recipe and the ingredients...
The Ingredients:
2 tsps. olive oil
1 1/4 lbs. of ground beef, or turkey, or chicken
1 onion-chopped
2 cloves of garlic
1 bell pepper/ seeds removed and chopped up
8 oz. mushrooms- chopped
1 can of crushed tomatoes - 14 or 15 oz.
1 bottle of reduced sodium tomato or vegetable juice
1 tbs. lemon juice
1 can of beans (red, pinto, kidney or black beans) 15 oz.
rinsed and drained
1 tsp. of ground cumin
1/8 cayenne pepper
1/4 cup of parsley (fresh) or 2 tbs. dried-chopped
2 tsp. of cilantro or 1/8 cup fresh-chopped

Directions:
In a large stockpot, heat up the olive oil over medium-high heat.
Saute the meat and/or chicken until it's no longer pink.
Remove the meat and set aside, leave some of the liquid in the pot.
Saute the onions, garlic, mushrooms and peppers until soft, about
2 to 3 mins. Stir in remaining ingredients, except the fresh cilantro and
parsley. If you're using dried parsley and cilantro-throw them in as well.
Cover the pot and simmer for 20 mins. Stir in the fresh parsley and cilantro.
Cover again, and cook for another 8 to 10 mins. Serve it up
with a good pumpernickle or rye bread. Any soup that's leftover,
should be stored in the refrigerator. Or allow to cool completely, and
then freeze in a tupperware container.

This soup isn't from Drew Barrymore, but from a noted nutritionist
and she says it (the soup) has the abiltiy to flush fat from "hard to lose"
places.

And that's not all- the soup will lower cholesterol and protect
you from heart disease.
That's It- Why not a make a pot for Superbowl Sunday?

Good Luck!
