and if you're thinking about becoming a vegan or you're already a vegan,
then you must check out this site.
The Site: Onegreenplanet.org.

use animals in the testing process, how to help your 4-legged friends in Earthquake ravaged
Nepal or how to roast vegetables to quell a meat craving.

We're not talking about tasteless salads and cookies that are often associated

Are you watching Ellen this week?
Well, this is the second week of "Twelve Days Of Giveaway"
you know,  where Ellen gives away some high-priced gifts 
to her studio audience. 
One of the gifts that Ellen has given away all 12 days is a trip. 
A trip to a Spa.

If you weren't one of the lucky ones and didn't receive an iPad,
or a $250 gift card from Home Depot or a trip to a Spa, create
a Spa at home.
That's right- running a bath, filling it with scented bubble bath,
lighting some candles and pouring yourself a glass of wine.
Then, lie back in the tub and relax. 

What's the point of this?
Being kind to yourself can help you resist the cravings that may
cause weight gain.
So, if you're struggling with cravings for sweets, or high-fat carbs,
take a bubble bath, go window shopping or sit in front of a roaring
fire.
And next year, maybe you can get on Ellen's "good list" and
sit in her audience during the first 2 weeks of December.

Good Luck!

Ellen Degeneres' Rx For Fighting Cancer!

                       Fight Breast Cancer Like Ellen! 

Ellen Degeneres is always the humanitarian, this week a number of shows
are doing their best to help raise money and awareness about breast cancer.
Ellen is doing her part by bringing back the "Dunk Tank!"
Today's guest-Jessica Alba dunked her husband Cash and made $12, 000
for breast cancer research.
Raising money is great, but women (and men) need something now that
can help them prevent this serious disease and luckily, there's something
out there that'll do it.

What is it?
An herb called "Silibinin, it's an active ingredient in Milk Thistle.
Researchers say that Silibinin blocks the growth of not only breast,
but lung, colon, bladder and kidney cancers as well.
The herb also stops the spread of any abnormal cells that may have
started to develop.
But wait, there's more, new research says the herb also blocks the formation 
of skin cancer-even for people who burn easily.

So, if cancer is something you don't ever want to get, look for
Milk Thistle at health-food or Whole-Food stores.
Make sure the label says "standarized extract" and take between
150 to 200 mg. daily.
And don't take any herb, vitamin or mineral without checking with your
healthcare provider first.

And if you want to avoid herbs and go the food route, look for the E-book,
The Superfoods That Prevent Breast Cancer, available at Amazon.com/
the kindle store. Download a copy to your E-reader or Ipad today.
Learn the food that helps shut down harmful cancer cells even if your
mom, grandmom and aunt had them.

Good Luck!

Ellen Degeneres' Rx For Youthful Skin!

                                          Food Rx To Prevent Wrinkles!
It's rumored Ellen Degeneres owns a ranch, a ranch that has a number
of Avocado trees. If this info is true, Ms. Degeneres may be sitting on
another gold mine. Her first gold mine: Her talk show which pays hers
millions of dollars a year. And the second: An avocado ranch.
Why are they so valuable?

Avocados can benefit your health in a number of ways,
one being lowering cholesterol, and the other being youthful skin.
That's right- along with apples and kiwi, avocados rank right up there
as one of the best fruits that'll  give you skin that looks
a decade or two younger.

Why is it so beneficial?
Give credit to their ample supply of vitamin E, a proven wrinkle-eraser,
as well as glutathione, an anti-aging antioxidant. Avocados also
boosts collagen and smooth fine lines.

So, if you're looking for youthful skin and don't want to go the
Botox route, then bring on the avocados.
One recipe that'll help you look younger...
Peel an avocado, rinse it with some water, slice it up
and place the slices in a small saucepan,
add 1/4 cup of milk, heat for a couple mins.
Remove from the heat, let cool,
take a chair, (preferrably a reclining chair)
and place the slices on your face, neck and hands (backs of hands)
sit back and relax for 10 to 15 mins. remove the avocados
and rinse your face with lukewarm water.
Some say if you start this in your 20's, you'll never have to go under
the knife, or botox needle.
Important tip: Although this tip is about Avocados, apples and milk also work,
and the apples are easier to handle and they're cheaper. And yes, eating avocados
also works, just watch the foods you eat them with (Chips).

So, if you have Ellen's email address, pass this info on,
selling her avocados to help America become more youthful.
Hey- she always helping the less fortunate, perhaps she can sell
avocados and donate the profits to charity. It's a thought.

Good Luck!

Ellen DeGeneres' Rx For Beating Dry Winter Skin!

                              Ellen's Beauty Secret!
On today's Ellen Degeneres show-she featured the popular segment-
"Far-Out Beauty secrets with the zany and gorgeous Kym Douglas.

Ms. Douglas is our kind of woman, she uses things that are relatively
safe, inexpensive and are found in supermarkets, refrigerators or malls.

With that said, we'd like to tell you how to soften your dried-out
Winter skin with something that you probably use everyday and throw
out.

That something: Citrus Peels!
Citrus peels offer a host of benefits-like...
a) Cleaning and grating a little orange, tangerine or lime peel
into your fruit salad reduces skin cancer rates, lowers stroke
risk and stops constant dizziness,
b) Placing lemon, lime, grapefruit, and tangerine peels around
your yard, will stop cats from digging holes and uprooting
plants. Cats hate the scent of citrus peels.

And finally:
c) Combat Dry Winter Skin- That's right, a new use for all of those
peels you throw out. Toss em into a warm bath. The zest from the peels
will infuse the water with natural oils and acids that will slough
off dead skin cells and nourish the healthy skin underneath.
Plus, the pleasant scent from all of those peels, will boost energy.

That's It- A tip that'll make Kym Douglas and Ellen proud.

Good Luck!
