A Natural Remedy For a Male Star!

                                        Natural Rx For Back Pain! 

If you're a fan of the hit ABC show "Dancing With The Stars" then you may 
have watched as dancer Mark Ballas went down with a back injury.
He may have pulled something or slipped a disc and if you too, are going through
similar problems, you may want to try something organic and natural. 

Word of caution to those who are suffering from back pain...
It's still best to talk it over with your doctor, but let's not dismiss the medicine our
ancestors used for hundred of yrs. 
And the type of natural medicine we're prescribing is reflexology.
You know, massaging certain pressure points on your hands and feet to bring blessed relief.

To get started on your path toward ending back pain- take a comfortable chair or sit
on the floor, bring one foot over to the opposite leg, and starting at the heel, use your
thumb and massage all the way up to the big toe. Do not rush it, stay on each part
of the foot for a good 15 to 20 seconds, as you move upwards.
Stay on the inner most part of the foot for a few minutes.
Do both feet for a few minutes at a time and see if this helps put an end to the
unbearable back pain.
One man (A long distance truck driver) found this alternative method of healing
and did it for less than a week, and was able to say no thanks to back surgery
that was scheduled. 

Some other tips:
* If you're unable to maneuver your feet to the opposite side, ask a loved one to do the
massage. (Go gently, too much pressure may cause further damage). 
No one around to help and your also inflexible? Massage the hands, same spots, 
start at the base of the thumb, and move right up to the top of the first finger.
Or do a combination of the two--hands and feet.
Another tip for hands: take all 4 fingers of the opposite hand and dig into the innermost
spot of the other hand and dig in. Do this for 30 to 45 secs.
* Want more info on reflexology? Go to Google.com and type curing back 
problems with reflexology in the search bar.
* Also while you're at Google.com, type in Ellen DeGeneres/back pain/Supermarket
Rxs! click on it and read the post.
(Ellen has occasional flareups) it too. has a number of things other than self massage
you can do alleviate your back pain--like changing your thoughts, 
(positive, not negative) and diet changes, (say no to the white stuff-- flour and sugar)

So, if you're a regular guy or gal or a top dancing star, this ancient medicine
(about 500 yrs. old) may be of some help to you. (or a loved one)
Hey, it's a worth a try and it's certainly cheaper and safer than a scalpel.

Good Luck!

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!

Ellen Degeneres' Beauty Rxs From Down Under!

                                 Beauty Tips From Down Under! 

Ellen Degeneres just got back from visiting the homeland of her wife. 
Where is it? Australia!
And although Ms. Degeneres is known for giving gifts to her audience
members, this time she was empty-handed.
But hold on, Ellen didn't have stuffed Koala bears or pictures of Hugh
Jackman or jars of vegemite for her audience, what she did bring back 
were memories that'll last a lifetime.

As for gifts, we here at RedCarpetRxs have you covered, how? 
By bringing you info from Australia that'll boost your health.
The health of your looks to be exact.
You may or may not know that Australian women have been named
some of the most beautiful women in the World, and if you want to
look like them, use the products listed below that are associated
with Australia.
a) Clearer Skin-
Are you a teen or a young adult still plagued with Acne?
Clear it up Tea Tree Oil! The oil is a traditional Aboriginal remedy
for wounds and infections, but it can also help with serious skin
conditions like,,,Eczema, dandruff, athlete's foot and acne.
And even better: It tea tree oil works just as effectively as acne
medications, but without the irritation and dryness.
Find it at drug stores, health-food stores or online at TheBodyShop.com.
b) Shinier Hair-
With Jojoba. Popular some time back, jojoba has taken a back seat
to other shampoos over the years, but for those concerned about
the condition of  their hair, then you must start using Jojoba shampoo.
Jojoba is similar to the oil in our skin and hair follicles and it's able to hold
on to the moisture inside tissues. It's also easily absorbed, yet not greasy, 
giving you luxurious and shiny locks.
Look for all types of haircare products that contain Jojoba at drugstores.
c) Beautiful Skin-
With the fruits of Australia and its neighbor-New Zealand, what are they? 
Star Fruit and Kiwi. 
Star fruit and Kiwi are both loaded with vitamin C, a nutrient so important
it can keep skin radiant. protect skin from the Sun's harmful rays
and boost the collagen levels. Find star fruit or Kiwi at produce stores
or your Supermarket.
d) Kiwi Pt. 2-
Yes, it (kiwi) can keep skin smooth and youthful, but it can also protect your
health when traveling. Say what? That's right- travel to say-- Australia and
you're looking at a 14 hr. or more plane ride. And one problem with long
plane rides: Blood clots. Your Rx: A week or two before the plane ride,
start eating a kiwi or two each day. Kiwi works like a plumber's snake-
it has the ability to keep the blood flowing easily.
Also helpful- grape juice and cocoa. Real cocoa, not the kind that costs
a $1 or $2 per box. And do some exercises while sitting...
ankle rotations, extending the knees and going to bathroom.
e) A Flatter Stomach-
Ever see the bathing beauties that populate the Australian beaches?
Well, it may be the fat they're eating. What fat is that?
Macadamia nut oil. You may have heard to get slim, you need to eat more 
fat. And although it's considered a fat, macadamia nuts and macadamia
nut oil is great for your waistline.
And if you're waistline is already slim, eat the nuts and oils to help
keep your heart strong and cholesterol levels low.
Important tip: Make sure to keep the amount of nuts and oil low,
the nuts and oil still contain calories.
And lastly, People think macadamia nuts are native to Hawaii,
they're not, they're native to Australia.

That's it- And even when Ellen doesn't have gifts, you still benefit.

And if you want tips on how to enhance your beauty, look for

Alec Baldwin's Rx For Younger Looking Skin!

                                  Look Younger With Yoga! 

Alec Baldwin, the talented and tempermental star of "30 Rock" is
newly married. Newly married to a yoga instructor. 
And lucky for Mr. Baldwin- not only will she help him stay strong, 
flexible, but youthful as well. 
Youthful? Yes, according to new research the one part of the body
that really shows early signs of aging can be helped with a yoga
move. What body part? The Neck!

If you read a post we did a few days back then you're well aware of
the problems many women (and some men) have with their necks.
In fact, Ellen D. just had Courtney Cox on and they were talking about
aging necks and hands.
Anyway, to keep your neck youthful, do the following...
Sit on a chair or the floor and look up at the ceiling, hold for a few seconds
and then release. Do it 2 mins. a day to smooth your neck and prevent
the dreaded double chin.
Also, reread our post on Courtney Cox, and use some of the
foods as skin tighteners and moisturizers tips to really keep 
your neck looking young.

Important tip: If you're elderly or if you're not a regular exerciser,
it may be best if you skip this tip, the neck is very fragile and looking
up toward the ceiling may cause problems for some.


Good Luck!

Ellen's Food Rxs For Beautiful Skin!

                      Great Looking Skin From Food Sources! 

Courtney Cox is making the rounds, this past Friday she was on Jay Leno,
and today, she was on Ellen.
Of course the subject of cosmetic surgery, chemical peels
and aging skin came up.
Ellen who has a birthday coming up- admitted that she too, has
some body flaws. Ellen also knew that the skin on one's neck, 
elbows, hands and around the eyes is very thin, therefore aging more 
quickly.
If you are a decade or two younger than Ellen and Courtney and want to keep 
your skin looking it's best, eat some of the foods that'll keep your skin looking
10 to 15 yrs younger.

The Foods For Youthful Skin:
a) Go Nuts-
Some walnuts and almonds each day will give your skin a healthy
glow. Nuts contain essential fatty acids that keep skin cells fluid
and flexible.
b) Seafood-
A few salmon, trout or halibut dinners will give you smoother
and softer skin. Credit goes to the omega-3 fatty acids that hydrate
skin and flakes from blocking pores.
c) Soy Milk-
Drinking a cup of soy milk a day will help repair problem skin.
Soy milk has estrogen and it (estrogen) stimulates connective
tissue and regenerates your skin.
Important tip: Soy isn't for everyone, if it causes problems
for your digestive system, skip it.
d) More Liquids- 
Do you drink an adequate amount of water each day? 
Well, you don't have to drink 10 glasses of water each day,
get some liquid refreshment from melon, honeydew, watermelon, 
cucumber and cantaloupe. Keeping skin from drying out is very important,
so make sure to eat the above fruits and drink some water each day.
e) More Oil-
If you read our post- "Cougar Town's Rxs For Youthful Hands"
then you already know about the importance of oils.
Olive, walnut and avocado oils help keep skin moist, smooth
and plumped up. Use these oils to saute, stir-fry, in salads
and pestos and use it topically. Apply some to your body,
face, neck, hands, elbows and knees after a shower or bath.
f) Kiwi Please- 
Often overlooked as a fruit that can help keep smooth and blemish-free. 
One researcher says that 2 kiwis a day can help remove age spots
and moisturize skin from the inside out.
How powerful is Kiwi? A woman (a school teacher) wanted something
natural to help her prevent the number of colds she was bound to get
in the new school yr. 
A relative suggested Kiwi, she ate 2 a day, starting in Aug. and by
the end of Summer, noticed a few changes. The changes:
the undereye circles under her eyes disappeared and she didn't
have to cake her makeup on like she usually did. So, in addition
to helping her stay cold-free, she had a smoother and more youthful
complexion.

That's it- Although this list may not do much for Ellen
or Courtney, it's not to late for you... a 20 or 30 something.

Good Luck!

Anne Hathaway's Live Longer Rx For Women!

                         Live Longer Like Anne! 

Do yourself a favor this holiday season and see the movie-"Les Miserables!"
A number of folks are already talking Oscar nominations for Hugh Jackman
and Anne Hathaway.
And an Oscar nomination isn't the only thing that's going well for Ms. Hathaway,
the other thing going well for her: Her diet!
What type of diet? A vegetarian diet.

Yes, lean beef can benefit you in some ways, but according to new research-
women who eat it 3 or more times a week have a 30% chance of having a fatal
heart attack or stroke.
The researchers aren't really sure if it's the type of beef, the number of times
you eat it, the quality of the beef (store bought and loaded with steroids, 
chemicals and hormones) the way you prepare it (on a hot grill) or the side
dishes, (the fries, the extra cheese or the white buns).

Whatever it is, if you're eating it a few times a week, perhaps it's time
to cut down, way down. Start with one day without beef, have some
stir-fried vegetables and beans over brown rice and work up to two and then three
times a week, and who knows-you may be like Anne Hathaway and go without
it 7 days a week. Plus, you'll save money, money you can use for
clothes, shoes or handbags.

Good Luck!

Ellen's Fruit Rx To Beat Winter Weight Gain!

                             Eat This Not That To Prevent Winter Weight Gain! 

For some, Winter weight gain is almost as natural as less sunlight
and cold temperatures. Why does it happen? Less sunlight,
shortened days, turning dark earlier, not motivated to exercise and of course
the endless holidays (with great food) don't help your cause.
So, should you give up and give in? 

No, short of moving to Arizona, Calif. Australia or Florida, there's
something you can do. What is it?
Eat more avocados. Avocados?
That's right- T.V. host Ellen Degeneres reportedly lives on an avocado
farm and it may be the secret to avoiding weight gain this Winter.

Why avocados?
Half of an avocado a day can boost the two hormones responsible
for better moods to prevent mindless snacking.
 The hormones: Serotonin and Dopamine.
If you have a shortfall of these 2 hormones, you can expect-
weight gain, sour moods, temper tantrums and sudden outbursts.
And if that's not enough- avocados can also lower (bad) cholesterol,
increase sperm count (guys) and keep your skin as smooth as an 8 yr's old.

So, start looking for  some bargains on avocados at produce or grocery stores
or contact Ellen, via Twitter, Facebook or Youtube,
and tell her about your blue moods and weight gain,
and see if she'll donate some of her fruit to your cause.

Good Luck!

Sting's Rx For All-Night Sleep!

                               End Insomnia!
Sting, the former lead singer of "The Police" and now-solo singer was today's
guest on the Ellen show. He told Ellen he turned 60 and feels great. How does he do
it? Yoga!

If you remember a few yrs. back, Sting told any and everyone about the benefits of
Yoga that helped him achieve "Superman" like hours in the bedroom.
It's true, yoga-especially for men, is said to help with the dreaded premature
ejaculation-so many men complain about.

But today, I'd rather talk about another problem plaguing both men
and women. The problem: Insomnia!
That's right- taking up yoga can help anyone suffering from an inability
to get to sleep and stay alseep.

Why is it so effective? Yoga relaxes both the body and mind and helps
you drift off to sleep faster and stay asleep longer.

So, are you ready to follow Sting's lead and take up yoga?
If so, go online (to Google) and look for instructional DVDs on yoga
to help you get started.
