Award Show's Rx For Sexier Looking Legs!

                      A Recipe For Sexier Legs! 

The Fall and Winter seasons are big in Hollywood, big for the number of 
award shows that'll be shown from now until March.
And if you're obsessed with legs, (female legs) then you may be interested in
one nutritionist's theory as to how to get those (Jennifer Aniston  or Carrie
Underwood) legs.
The nutritionist says, the 3 top vegetables you should eat for great looking legs are...
Broccoli, Brussels sprouts and Sweet Potatoes.

Why these three?
They contain vital nutrients and minerals needed to keep legs slim and trim,
cellulite-free and varicose vein-free.
And even more news concerning legs--
Actresses Scarlett Johannson and Megan Fox said giving up dairy has
done incredible things for their legs, (mainly helping to get rid of the cellulite).
And Ms. Fox also said giving up dairy helped her lose the baby weight in record time.

So, if you want legs that look like they should be on the Red Carpet,
remember these 3 vegetables.
And with the 2 big holidays coming up, it's a great time to get more of these vegetables 
on your menus.

Good Luck!

just age," no- continue reading and then head to your
supermarket and pick up the items that'll keep your

papaya and green tea. Another tip: It's been reported that both Scarlett
Johansson and Megan Fox, have stopped eating dairy.

You may want to try it and see if it makes a difference in your legs.
c) Extra Jiggle-
To tighten up those thighs, you may have to go Atkins,
or Caveman or women (for the P.C. crowd) A diet of carbs
and sugary treats do more than harm your waistline, these types
of foods also cause loose  and jiggly skin allover.
d) Varicose Veins-
Catch them early and you may be able to do something about it,
and that is to eat a lot foods like oranges, kiwi, dark berries, plums.
kale, red and green peppers and zest.

and orange peel into a smoothie or stir-fry.
The peels contain special compounds that help keep varicose
veins at bay, protect your skin from skin cancer and stop
constant dizziness.
d) Leg Cramps-
This is a problem for a lot of people, both men and women,
so eat more foods like wheat germ, spinach, apples,
Greek yogurt and black beans.

before going to bed.
That's it- We can't guarantee that these food tips will make
your legs look like the 5' 9" Cameron Diazs' , but who
wants that pressure anyway?

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Rx For Helping Babies Grow!

                 Help Your Kids Reach Their Full Potential! 

There's a baby boom going on in Hollywood, Kim K,
Busy Philips, Fergie, and Jessica Simpson, unfortunately the news
we at Red Carpet Rxs just received may not help them (or it may if they have
another kid) the news: Drinking this food while pregnant may help kids grow
in intellectual ability and height.
What food is that? Milk! 

Milk is a no-no for a lot of women, especially those who are for
animal rights and those who say they can't tolerate the stomach aches,
cellulite, stuffy noses and other health problems.
In fact, Megan Fox and Scarlett Johannsen said giving up milk helps
keep their legs free of cellulite.
But the problem may not be the milk itself, but poor quality milk being sold
in a lot of supermarkets today.

So, if you're planning on getting pregnant, or know someone who
plans on a pregnancy, hold onto this post or pass it along to a future mom.
Another benefit of dairy: Drinking full fat milk and eating full-fat
cheese and ice cream may help women suffering from infertility.

And lastly, we covered this subject, height and kids, here on this blog and
our sister blog --SupermarketRxs@typepad.com. The Post- Michael Phelps Rxs
for Growing Tall. We talk about feeding kids a good quality yogurt while they're 
young, feel free to go back and take a look at it.
That's it- Bringing you the best and latest news concerning your health and the health
of your loved ones.

Good Luck!

Food Rx For Hollywood Smokers!

                Eat This If You Still Smoke! 

Hollywood the land of beautiful people also has a few stars
that still smoke. With the constant concern about looking
good and staying youthful, you think they'd quit ASAP. 
But that's not the case, stars like Jennifer Aniston,
Ben Affleck and Chelsea Handler quit a few yrs. ago,
or just recently.

And stars like Scarlett Johansson, Whoopi Goldberg,
 and Sean Penn are still doing it.
If you are still smoking like Sean, Whoopi or Scarlett make sure to 
eat the food that'll help protect your lungs.

The Food: Broccoli!
That's right- the lowly regarded broccoli shields lungs from the
damaging inflammation triggered by tobacco smoke and slows
the development of a serious condition called COPD, 
or the long version-chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
And one more benefit of broccoli: It'll help you live to a ripe
old age.

So, if you're still smoking and don't plan on quitting, 
make sure to eat some broccoli a few times a week, and
if you have the e-mail addresses of Sean Penn and Scarlett
Johansson, please pass this info on to them.
As for Whoopi G. she's hates all vegetables.

Good Luck!

Hollywood's Superhero Rx For Better Eyesight!

                             Improve Vision With Food! 

Hollywood loves telling stories about superheroes-Spiderman, Ironman,
Batman and of course Superman. Why the appeal? Perhaps it allows
young men and women to reconnect to childhood or maybe we just
want some of those "superpowers" ourselves.

You know superpowers like an increase in strength, hearing, or vision.
But wait, you don't have to become a superhero to get super vision,
no- all you need to do is take a trip to your local supermarket or
farmers's market and pick up some of the foods that'll help you achieve
better vision.
Foods Like...
a) Green Beans-
Plentiful this time of yr., green beans are particularly helpful for those
who want to improve their night vision. Gr. beans contain the two pigments-
lutein and zeaxanthin, both of which help to heal and protect the retinal
cells that enhance your ability to recognize fine details, reduce blind spots
and improve vision in dim lights.
b) Eggs-
Yes, eggs. often given a bad rap as a food that'll increase cholesterol, but
it's the opposite, an egg a few times a week can help you in a number of ways,
especially concerning your eyesight. Contain the same two pigments as green
beans and help you when driving at night.
c) Summer Squash-
Especially green squash, another food that helps those who do a lot
of night driving.
d) Sunflower Seeds-
Reread our post about a week ago, it explains how sunflower seeds
can help get rid of nearsightedness.
e) Fish-
Yesterday's post- explained how fatty fish like sardines and salmon
can boost moods and help prevent depression. Well, if dry eyes are
happening-get more of the good fat that's found in fish.
f) Watch What You Eat-
Simply put- watch how you prepare your eggs, fish, green beans and squash.
Cooking with too much fat (bacon grease) lard or butter is a disaster-not
only for your waistline but eyesight as well. And watch the other foods as well,
like a thick char broiled steak, 8 oz. burgers, hot dogs and bacon. These types
of foods also contribute to you losing your vision over the yrs.
g) Exercise-
You have to exercise to stay thin and keep your heart in shape, well the eyes
need exercise as well. One simple exercise to strengthen eyes- sit in a
comfortable chair or on the floor, and look at the wall in front of you.
Now, move your eyes from left to right, (about 10 times) and then up and
down (another 10 times) and then finish up by moving your eyes in circles, 
another 10 times. Do this a few times a week and watch how your vision improves.

That's it- Now when you look at Superman or Spiderman and wish
that you can have just one of their superpowers- today you can,
thanks to certain foods.

Good Luck!

The Avenger's Rx For Beautiful Legs!

                     Great Legs For Summer! 

According to the news on diets the stars follow to get into
"swimsuit shape" Scarlett Johansson, the petite star of
"The Avengers" follows a "mostly vegan" diet.
You know, no meat, dairy, eggs, fish. etc.
Although she cheated occasionally and had
Non-dairy oatmeal cookies, she was able to be in tip-top
shape for the first day of filming.

Well, Ms. Johansson giving up dairy may have done
more than reduce her weight to get into that sleek suit,
she also gave herself cellulite-free legs.
Cellulite and dairy, what's the connection?

Dairy contains casein, a hard-to-digest protein molecule
that gets stuck in lymph nodes and creates a backup of the
lymphatic fluids that carry waste of out of the body.
And as a result, the toxins in the fluids build up in the surrounding
tissue and weaken the connective tissue, which is used to keep
fat cells from bulging against the skin. And giving up dairy can
restore lymphatic circulation so the cottage cheese causing waste
can be eliminated.

So, if you've been struggling with unsightly dimples on the back
of your legs, see if going dairy-free helps.
And for those who won't part with their piece of cheese, or that
tall glass of milk, use the Juice alternative.
The Juice alternative: Find the Juice answer at our regular blog...

Good Luck!
