The Morning Show's Rx Food Rx For Living Longer!

                                    A Recipe For a Longer Life! 

If you're a regular viewer of the "Today show" then you're well aware
that they did a whole week on living longer and one of the segments
involved Iceland. 

Iceland, and other Scandinavian countries now boast the second longest
life span in the World, and who is first, you ask? 
The Japanese, more specifically- Okinawa Japan.
And if you're wondering how does one live long like the Okinawans
or Icelanders, or the Cretes from Greece? 

Well, you can attend some type of religious service, or you can
work past 65, or you can do some form of activity--dance, work in
a garden, socialize more, or diet. 
Diet?
No- not a diet of 1,000 or 1,200 calories, but a diet of more vegetables, low-sugar fruits, 
(green apples and berries)
good fats, ( grass-fed butter, avocados, olive, coconut or walnut oil) seeds and grains,
 (flaxseeds, almonds, pistachios, and sunflower seeds) brown rice and oatmeal, coffee, 
 tea, red wine, good quality meats, and fish. 

And to get you started- here's a recipe that will not only help  you look younger, 
it will also help you feel younger for yrs. to come.
The recipe: Fish  with Zesty Salsa.
It's a combination of good fats, (which fight inflammation)
fruits and vegetables--(which nourish your skin and keep your heart strong) 
Ingredients:
1 large avocado
2 tsp. lemon juice
1/2 red onion 
1/2 red grapefruit, peeled, segmented and diced
1 jalapeno, seeded and minced
salt and pepper
4 salmon fillets, (4 to 6 oz. each)
1 Tbs. olive or walnut oil
4 cups mixed salad greens
1 lemon, cut into wedges 
====================================
Directions:
In a bowl, toss avocado with lemon juice.
Add the onion, jalapeno, salt and pepper, toss. Reserve.
Sprinkle some salt and pepper on the salmon, and place them in a skillet 
with olive oil. Cook until lightly brown on both sides (about 2 to 3 mins.
each side or until they flake easily)
Take out 4 plates.
Place 1 cup of greens on a plate along with a salmon fillet,
and top with the avocado mixture.
Do this 3 more times. 
Enough for 4 servings. 
Not a fan of salmon? Try mahimahi fillets. 

And lastly, if you want some more great info on ways to live longer 
like the people of Denmark, China, Japan, Jamaica, Greece,
Spain, France and Italy, head on over to Amazon.com/the kindle store,
and type The Asian, French, Greek and Italian Rxs For
Super Longevity in the search bar.
Download the Ebook,  and you may get another decade (or two) out of life.

Good Luck!

An Old Sitcom's Rx For Living Till 100!

                                      Jennifer Aniston's Longevity Secret! 

If you want to live till you're 90's or beyond you may want to take
some advice from an old sitcom. And for those who feel 70 to 80 yrs. is enough,
you may want to stop reading right about now.

Longevity experts always have a list of things you should and shouldn't 
do to reach 90 yrs. of age or more, you know, things like...
*exercise more
* eat less meat
* eat more beans
* eat fewer (or no) processed foods
* drink green tea
* cut out wheat
* attend some type of religious service
* never pick up a cigarette (or quit smoking)
And on and on, but surprisingly, the following tip
from a top sitcom may help you reach your goal (of getting to 100 yrs. of age)
better and more easily than all of the tips listed above.
What is it?
Spend a great deal of time with Friends. 

Yes, the old sitcom "Friends" starring Jennifer Aniston, Lisa Kudrow,
Courtney Cox, David Schwimmer, and the 2 Matts were onto to something
way back in 1993 and that something was- a good group of close-knit
friends can...
* help you get slim and stay slim
* keep your memory sharp
* prevent heart troubles
* and boost moods- keeping you happy and depression-free.
That's it, and if you're spending huge amounts of money on vitamins,
special beverages, organic this and that, remember the answer to living 
well into your 80's and 90's may be on your flat screen...as in reruns for
 old episodes of Friends.
Thanks Ms. Aniston-Theroux. 

Good Luck!

A Child Star's Rx For Losing Weight!

                          Lose Weight Like Punky! 

For those of you out there that remember the 80's, then you must remember the
T.V. show "Punky Brewster"
Well, the young lady who played "Punky Brewster" is all grown up, 
38 years old grown up.

Yes, Soleil Moon Frye, the young star of the hit show is also experiencing
a problem a lot of  women experience, and what is that? 
An inability to lose the baby weight.

That's right, like so many, Ms. Frye was still being asked when she was
due to give birth after already giving birth to her son.
So, what did she do?
Nothing extreme like Paleo or Veganism, or taking up crossfit...
No- Ms. Frye joined Nutrisystem.

That's right- the diet center that's helped Marie Osmond, Valerie Bertinelli
and Melissa Joan Hart, can now count Soleil Moon Frye as one 
of their success stories.
Ms. Frye lost 40 pounds and says she's never been happier or healthier.
In fact, Ms. Frye turned to Melissa Joan Hart, and she encouraged her  to 
head to Nutrisystem.

And one last bit of information, Ms. Frye is raving that Nutrisystem
allows you to eat desserts and that's important, because she says-
desserts are the most important food group to her.
So, if you're struggling with weight and not able to plan meals or do it on your own,
do what Marie, Valerie, Melissa and Soleil have done and join Nutrisystem.

That's it,
And don't forget to head to Amazon.com/the kindle store and pick up
the E-Doc--Natural Cures To Beat Spring Allergies.
Don't allow your doctor to talk you into allergy shots that may be expensive
and have serious side effects.

Good Luck!

A Funny Lady's Rx For Maintaining Weight!

                        The Seinfeld Rx! 
Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus has been around for quite a while.
Now in her early 50's, she looks better than ever.
She was on Saturday Night Live, Seinfeld, Day By Day, The New Adventures of
Old Christine and at this present time, she's starring in Veep.

Like a lot of stars Ms. Louis-Dreyfus has to watch her weight.
Not only because she's 5' 1" tall, but to make sure Hollywood continues to
offer her leading lady roles.
And if you too, struggle with weight, do like Ms. Louis-Dreyfus and
start eating breakfast.

That's right, no starvation diets, no hours doing Pilates, just a
plain, old-fashioned breakfast.
And her breakfast of choice: 
Eggs, fried in a little olive oil , a slice of whole-grain bread smeared with some
honey.
Ms. Louis-Dreyfus said that a few yrs. ago, she was a breakfast skipper, 
but decided to start eating it after hearing about the benefits.
One benefit in particular--she doesn't snack mindlessly (and endlessly)
at 1 or 2 in the afternoon and continue doing it right up until 6 or 7 pm. 
No, she says that a good-quality and filling breakfast has put an end to
that.

So, if you're struggling with cravings and snacking on fattening
and forbidden foods well into the evening hrs. take a page out
of the Julia Louis-Dreyfus handbook and start eating breakfast.
And lastly, if you're not an egg and turkey bacon kind of gal,
there are always fruit and veggie smoothies, gluten-free
pancakes, bowls of steel cut oatmeal, mushrooms and veggies 
and brown rice with cinnamon, allspice, and some low-glycemic
fruits, (apples, pears and berries).

Good Luck!

The Biggest Loser's Rx For A Healthy Heart!

                           A Food Rx For A Healthy Heart!
NBC's big hit-"The Biggest Loser" is already back for another season,
just in time to help viewers get in shape for Spring and Summer.

One of the most popular segments is when they teach the participants
how to cook and prepare food-without all of the fat and calories.
One dessert they gave the participants (on a past show)
was not only great tasting, but heart healthy as well.
The dessert: "Biggest Loser Raisin' the Bar Brown Rice Pudding!"

Rice Pudding good for you? Absolutely!
In fact, eating brown rice (not white) can help keep harmful plaque
from attaching to delicate artery walls. And less plaque means a lower
chance of having a heart attack.
So, look below, and make this less harmful decadent dessert
for family and friends.
The Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups fat-free milk
1 1/4 cups cooked short-grain brown rice*
1 cup fat-free evaporated milk, 12 oz. can
1/3 cup light agave nectar
2 omega-3 eggs, lighlty beaten
2 tbsps. cornstarch
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1/2 cup raisins
*Soak the brown rice in cold water for 30 to 60 mins. before cooking-why?
Soaking causes the rice to germinate, which more than doubles the
concentration of nutrients, minerals, fiber and antioxidants.

The Directions: Place medium nonstick pot over medium heat.
Add fat-free milk, rice, evaporated milk, agave nectar,
eggs, cornstarch, and vanilla to pot. Cook mixture, stirring
constantly, about 5 to 7 mins. or until thickened to consistency
of a thick gravy (but not as thick as a pudding); it will thicken slightly
even more when refrigerated.
Divide mixture evenly among 8 (1/2 cup)  or 4 (1 cup)
ramekins or custard cups. Divide raisins among them.
Allow to cool to room temperature. Cover and refrigerate
ramekins for about 4 hrs. or overnight. And just before
serving, stir the rice pudding to distribute raisins evenly.
