Morning Show's Juicy Rx For Weight Loss!

                                 The Tomato Rx For Better Health! 

With the Summer season winding down make sure to take advantage
of the plentiful supply of tomatoes. 
Tomatoes? 
Yes, and one morning show did their part in helping you get started. 
The Morning show: "The Today Show" 

That's right, on this morning's Today show, weekend host Erica Hill
traveled to Oxford Mississippi and interviewed a former Southern Belle
turned tomato farmer.
And if you only use tomatoes to dress a salad or a sandwich, you're missing
out.
Missing out, how?
By not taking advantage of one of the best weight loss tools (foods) available. 

Yes, tomatoes like egg whites, mushrooms and fish are powerhouses when it comes 
to helping you shed weight or maintain weight. 
Still not convinced? 
Tomatoes (or tomato juice) can reduce the number of belly fat hormones by 
improving insulin function. And the healthier your insulin levels, the smaller your
waist will be.
And there's more--tomatoes can also give your thyroid gland a boost. 
Tomatoes contain 2 vital nutrients that help the body make optimal 
amounts of metabolism-revving thyroid hormone.
And if weight isn't an issue, look at what else more cooked tomatoes
and tomato juice can do...
* Lower stroke risks
* Keep bones strong, helping to prevent broken hips and other bones as you get older.
  Green tomatoes cooked in a small amount of olive or coconut also help keep bones strong.
* Lower cholesterol levels- Does your Dr. want to put you on statins? Try tomato juice 
first.
* Natural Sunscreen- Concerned about what type of sunscreen to use?
 Reduce those concerns by eating and drinking more red fruits like tomatoes,
red grapefruits, apricots and watermelon. 
* Increase Lifespan- Indian researchers say that more tomatoes in your diet
help you live an extra 5 or more yrs. longer.
So, if you're a tomato lover, now is the time to stock up, not only will you look
sexier, you'll also live a little (or a lot longer). 

Start today, have some tomato juice before breakfast, lunch or dinner and
watch your appetite drop dramatically. And have some if you feel a craving coming on.
And one last tip--
Head on over to Amazon.com/the kindle store and type--
Supermarket Sunscreen, Natural Foods and Beverages to Protect your skin from
the Sun and The Healing Power of Alcohol in the search bar.
Bloody Mary's for better health.

Good Luck!

The Today Show's Rx For A Better Self Image!

                      30 Days To A New and Improved You! 

If you caught the "Today show" then you're well aware it was all
about changing your bad habits in 30 days.
Shopping and discount expert Jill Martin was the one who spearheaded this
change, due to her own addiction to her electronic equipment.
(reading electronic well into late night, raises your risk of certain cancers, breast)
Natalie Morales, the news anchor and host of the third hour with
Willie, Al and Tamra, decided to give up shopping for 30 days.
And then they invited "regular folks" on who wanted to change something
in their lives. 

One woman went without Coke, (good move, as it causes bones to weaken)
another woman, like Natalie, decided to put her charge card away and stop
shopping, and then another woman wanted to end the negative pep talks 
she gave herself everyday.
If you too, find that you're constantly speaking negatively about yourself,
and those around you, (other drivers, co-workers, neighbors) you may want to try
this exercise.

The Exercise:
Shake your head NO. 
Yes, you're reading it right, whenever a negative thought starts to leave
your lips, shake your head from side to side.
It works in the same way as a rubber band around your wrist, 
(you snap the band when you start to negatively berate yourself)
or when you get down on the floor and do push-ups.
Any one of these exercises makes you stop and focus on something
other than the negative self-talk.

And one last tip, think of yourself as a star, why? 
They have to have positive self images, considering how many times
they hear no, (auditions) or read or listen the constant stream of
negative press, (TMZ or tabloids)
So start thinking like Gwyneth or Kim K, no matter how many people
hate them, they just don't listen to it.

Good Luck!

The Today Show's Rx To Relieve Stress!

                          Draw Your Way To Less Stress!

If you're a fan of the "Today" show, are you catching the segment they're 
doing on lessons learned from family members.
On this morning's show-it was Al Roeker's turn. The lesson he learned from
his late father, learn to draw.

Yes, that kind of drawing, whether it's a cartoon, an animal or a human.
In fact, Al Roeker says that he doodles something everyday. 
And whether he knows it or not, Mr. Roeker is on to something, that
something: doodling can relieve stress and help put you at ease before
heading out into traffic or to the office or classroom.

How so? Researchers say that doodling a smiling face or something
else that's positive helps take your mind off something that may cause
stress.
And doodling a smiling face will help put a smile on your face, but here are
some more types of doodles that can benefit your health. 
a) A triangle- Drawing upside down triangles is a great way to relieve 
the stress before giving a speech or giving a presentation at work.
b) Figure 8's- drawing figure 8's allover a large piece of paper,
helps boost memory. In fact, some doctors use the figure 8 drawings
as a non-medicinal way to help those with memory loss.
c) Helping Kids- Do your kids have a lot of energy? Are they sniping and picking
at each other on a regular basis? Give them large pieces of paper, some
markers  and let them get creative. Kids who focus on putting pen to paper
won't focus on trying to annoy one another.
d) Nature Scenes- 
Taylor Swift who talks about her battles with anxiety, said that thinking
about the times spent outdoors with her parents selling Christmas trees,
helps calm her down and puts an end to the anxiety.  So, if you're one who
stresses quite regularly, draw some things that remind you of the outdoors...
trees, a lake or a beautiful sunset.
That's it- Another lesson learned from the folks at "The Today Show."

Good Luck!

This may be the last week you see the popular Anne Curry on the "Today Show!"
Although NBC won't give a reason why the kind, always nice Ms. Curry has to go,
but it's rumored the younger Savannah Guthrie will be replacing her.
It's a big mistake and if you're bothered by it, let NBC know about it.

Anyway- here's an energy booster that the 55 yr. old Ms. Curry uses and if
you need more energy, then by all means-do the following...

Combine beets, carrots, a few apples and some fresh ginger.
Ms. Curry gets her juice from a place called Liquiteria, but if you
have a juicer at home, buy the ingredients and get started on your path
towards more energy.
How will this concoction work?
Gingerol, the compound responsible for ginger's flavor, improves
the body's uptake of oxygen by 20%.

That's It- A parting gift from the affable, always pleasant and all-around
nice lady known as Anne Curry! We'll miss you Anne!

Good Luck!
