Dr. Oz's Rx For A Juicier Burger!

                             Build A Better Burger! 

On today's Dr. Oz show, he did a segment called "diet rules you should 
break." Dr. Oz said we should be eating beef, but make it lean beef.
Well, there's a problem with that proposition.

The problem: Lean beef when cooked is very, very dry and that's
why a  lot of people rather eat the fattier beef. 
But wait, there's something you can do about that dry tasting
burger. That's right- you can add 2 foods to your burger mix and
you'll have the juices dripping, better tasting burger you really want.

The two foods: Low-fat plain yogurt (6 oz. cup) and 1/4
cup of bread crumbs. (get the bread crumbs from rye orpumpernickle bread)
Why these two foods?
Yogurt contains lactic  acid and it tenderizes the meat,
and the bread crumbs will retain the moisture.
After adding these two foods, you'll have burgers that aren't just
juicy and delicious, they'll also be healthier.  

Doctor Oz's Spice Rx To Prevent Cancer!

                                     Eat This Spice To Prevent Cancer! 

On today's Dr. Oz show, he had the great Dr. William Li on. 
Dr. Li advises you on the foods you should be eating, if you
want to prevent cancer. His suggestions: Jarlsberg cheese,
squid, yellow and orange squashes.
But the good doctor forgot to mention a spice that's been
heralded for its ability to stop cancer cells in their tracks.

The Spice: Curcumin.
Curcumin turns off the "switches" in cells that set cancerous 
changes in motion. And this results in preventing or delaying
the onset of virtually every type of cancer.
And that's not all-curcumin can be considered a complete 
"well-being tonic" that benefits every organ in the body and
it prevents and improves Alzheimer's, Parkinson, heart disease, 
arthritis and blue moods. 

Are you convinced? Are you ready to add it to your daily 
regimen? If you're ready and willing, you can add turmeric to 
soups, eggs, salads and meat dishes, but you'll need quite a bit.
So, talk to your doctor and look into getting a good curcumin
supplement. Take between 300 to 500 mg. a day.  

Good Luck!

Georgia State Rx To Prevent Motion Sickness!

                                      Don't Get Car Sick This Summer! 

With the Summer season upon us, that means a lot of people 
will be traveling to visit friends and family by car, van, buses, 
trains and planes. It also means a lot of motion sickness.
You know, that combination of dizziness, nausea and/or vomiting
that can last for minutes or hours.

There are some products out there that actually work,
the over-the-counter medicine dramamine, a pressure point
bracelet, massage, and deep breathing. 
Well, if you aren't into medicines, braceletes or massaging 
pressure points. Why not try the fruit that's symbolic with 
the state of Georgia?

The fruit: Peaches. Yes peaches, popular this time of year, 
to make sweet drinks, cobblers, pies or for grilling, can end the
queasiness, dizziness and vomiting in a matter of minutes. 
But, there's a catch- the catch: They have to be peaches from the 
can, more specifically-the juice in the can is the real medical miracle. 
The syrup that the canned peaches are in contain potassium and sorbitol, 
which together ease the stomach contractions and nervous-system distress
signals triggered by motion.  

So, if you're a fan of peaches and plan on doing some long distance 
traveling this Summer, make sure there's a can or two of canned peaches
in the car, and at the first sign of stomach distress, have a tbp. or two 
of peach juice. 

And for those of you out there, that don't get motion sickness, 
eat plenty of regular peaches, they'll help repair skin cell damage, 
which will give you a more youthful appearance and fire up 
your metabolism, which is very important this time of year (to 
show off your bikini or speedo body). One more tip, why not travel
to Georgia and buy your fresh peaches, you'll be helping the
American economy and your fellow Americans.

Good Luck!

Doctor Oz's Rx For A Great Summer!

                                All Natural Rxs For A Great Summer!        

On last week's Dr.Oz show-he talked about natural ways to 
prevent the mishaps that'll derail your Summer. 
Mishaps like...Bacne, a jiggly stomach, bugs, 
and cellulite. Continue reading, and get some tips for making
this the "Best Summer" ever. 
1) A Mushy Middle- 
Cure it with some pomegranate cream. Pomegranates are packed 
with ellagic tannin, a top-notch antioxidant that boosts 
collagen production, smoothes skin texture and firms up trouble 
spots without the headaches of doing all that running or crunches. 
Look for a product called Pomega5 Healing Cream, online at
Pomega5.com. 
2) A Beautiful Back-
Prone to Bacne? (acne on your back) Alleviate it with a salt scrub.
 Why salt?  The salt sloughs off the dead skin cells that mix with oil
to clog pores-a big problem during hot, sticky weather when
the body's production of sebum increases.
Look for a sea salt scrub called Philosophy Pure Grace, online at
drugstore.com. Or make your own-Mix one part olive oil, one part
sea salt and few drops of lemon or mint essential oil in a clean
jar, Stir before each use. Use once or twice a week.
Another tip: You have to watch the burger, fries, sugary drinks 
and desserts made with lots of butter, sugar and white flour, 
go easy on the peach cobblers. 
3) Foot Odor-
A problem that happens yr. round, but especially in the Summer.  
 To prevent this, get out your Secret or Arrid deodorant. Yes, Deodorant! 
To keep feet sweet smelling, look for a spray deodorant that has aluminum-
based compounds. Arrid XX and Secret Antiperspirant come in spray form.
Spray some on the soles after a shower or bath. 
4) Spider Veins- 
Surgery may be too expensive in today's tough economy, the
economical solution: More dark fruit. Eating and juicing
black, elder, rasp and blueberries, plums and dark grapes, 
reduce the growth of blood vessels that lead to varicose veins.
Dark fruit also strengthens capillaries, improving circualtion.
Look for a product called Liquid Health Complete Multiple,
online at www.NaturalHealthShoppe.com. Or buy the above mentioned
fruits in tea form and steep the bags for 5 mintues, then drink.
5) Cellulite-
The latest culprit that may be causing legs to look dimply?
Dairy. Researchers say some women who've given up dairy for
weeks, have gotten a surprising benefit. The benefit: No more cellulite.
See if going "dairy-free" can help you get the legs, you dream about.
For more info on getting rid of cellulite by going "dairy-free" 
reread our post- Scarlett Johansson's Rx for great legs, 
6) Summer Headcahes-
Continue eating the way you did during the Winter, and you're bound to
get headaches. Sweets, loads of white bread and sugary drinks, release
inflammation, inflammation that settles in the delicate areas of
your brain. Take advantage of the fruits and veggies, and  you should
avoid the "Summer" headaches.
7) Poison Ivy-
Spending a lot of time outdoors, and you're bound to come into
contact with greenery. Unfortunately, that greenery could be poison
ivy or oak. Look to your kitchen for relief, should you or a loved
one come into contact with the itchy vines.
The kitchen cure: Dish Detergent! Yes, dish detergent, quickly wash the
infected areas of your skin with your favorite dish detergent and you
should see a noticeable difference in the redness and itchiness.
Dish detergent breaks down the compounds that trigger the rashes.
8) A Jelly Fish Sting-
Look to the singer Fergie for a cure. The cure: Apple cider or white
vinegar. Fergie, the lead singer of the popular group "The Black-Eyed
Peas" touts the benefits of a few tsps. of A.C. V. before a meal, to
help with appetite control. Well, now there's another use for
the acidic beverage. To ease the pain of a jelly fish sting.
Bring a bottle or two with you on your next vacation.
If you forget, a lot of lifeguards now carry it in their watchtowers.
So, ask them.
9) Stop The Pests- 
Mosquitoes, ants and ticks make the Summer a lot more
unpleasant. For mosquitoes, apply some peppermint oil
to your skin, before heading outdoors. Mix the drops
with some water and spritz the skin. Also apply to the area,
where you'll be dining. Peppermint oil is a lot safer than the 
Deet, that's usually recommended.  
Also important to keep them away: 
Avoid dark clothing, mosquitoes see dark clothing easier. 
Avoid fruity and floral fragrances. Avoid Exercise.
Exercising and then remaining outside, is an enticing invite to
mosquitoes.
The bugs pick up the carbon dioxide you're giving off.  
Ants- The bane of picnickers Worldwide. Save 4 cans from tuna or
the nuts you enjoy, pick up your picnic table, and set each of
the legs down inside the cans, now fill the cans with water. Ants get
into the cans but can't get out. And not being to get out, means they'll
never make up to the table. 
Ticks- Head to the laundry room. Pick up some dryer sheets,
and place in the areas where you keep the picnic table.
Also, put a sheet around your ankle (inside your boots) when
taking a walk or hike outdoors, ticks hate the scent. And lastly, if
you have a dog, place a few sheets around his or her dog house.  
Be sure to change the sheets, they lose effectiveness very quickly.  

That's it- Some all-natural tips for making it your "Best Summer"
ever. Enjoy!

Good Luck!

The Happiest Countries In The World Rxs!

                                             The Oversea Rxs For More Happiness! 

According to a story on today's Yahoo page, the 10 Happiest 
countries in the World, are...
1) Denmark
2) Norway
3) The Netherlands
4) Switzerland
5) Austria
6) Israel
7) Finland
8) Australia
9) Canada
10) Sweden

How did the researchers come up with their findings?
They based it on Life expectancy, job satifaction, the
health of their loved ones and their own health,
access to health care,
disposable income and educational opportunites.
Although I personally have only traveled to Canada,
I can tell you one of the reasons (that wasn't listed) 
why Norway, Sweden, Finland and Denmark made the list. 
The Reason: Fish!
That's right- the countries that consume the most fish, have
the happiest people. Why? People who eat cold water fish like
salmon, mackerel and herring get more omega-3 fatty acids
and the more omega-3 fatty acids you get, the less depressed and
moody you'll be.
And there's more- One U.S. doctor who noticed that too many of his
patients experienced depression in the Winter months, (SAD) 
went on a journey to find out why, His findings:
The shortened days, too little sunlight, mixed with the holidays
and all the fattening foods created bigger waistlines and 
too many bad tempered people.
So, instead of the antidepressants that are normally prescribed,
he had his patients eat more fish. In addition to the fish, he had them
cut out or cut way down on fried foods, baked goods, sugary desserts
and drinks.
And lo and behold, many of the patients say that not only did they
feel better than they had in years, but the fish and omega-3s
helped dampen the out-of-control cravings.
And in Sweden, Norway, Finland and Denmark where there's 
only a few hours of sunlight in the Winter months, fish is 
all the more important. 
And if you're already a happy person, fish a few times a week, 
can also lower rates of Alzheimer's and dementia, arthritis and 
skin problems.
Oh and for those (Americans) who may never get to travel to Norway, 
Sweden, Denmark or Finland and want to find a "happy" spot to travel 
to right here in the U.S. The researchers say it's Vermont, Maine and 
Colorado (Boulder)  The reason for the happiness levels in Maine 
and Vermont: Fish. Colorado, I'm not so sure.

Scarlett Johansson's Rx For Great Legs!

                            Dairy-Free Like Scarlett! 

Scarlett Johansson-the diminutive star of the runaway blockbuster 
"The Avengers" trained for two months and followed a mostly vegan
diet to play the character- "The Black Widow!" 
(Although Ms. Johansson did cheat occasionally with 
"dairy-free" oatmeal cookies). 
 What's so unsual about a highly paid star training and eating right
for a movie role?

Well, according to new research, swearing off dairy has helped 
scores of women get rid of their cellulite.
Yup, the bane of women everywhere, giving up the "All-American"
 staple may be the only remedy you need, to get  the beautiful 
legs you so desire.

How does giving up dairy help streamline your legs?
Dairy products contain casein, a hard-to-digest protein molecule 
that attaches to the lymph node ducts and creates a backup of 
the lymphatic fluids that carry waste out the body. And a result, 
toxin-laden build up in tissue (the adipose tissue) and break 
down the connective tissue, which is used for keeping the fat 
cells from bulging against the skin. 
And as you go without dairy for weeks or months, you restore 
lymphatic circulation so the cottage cheese-causing waste can be 
eliminated. 
So, if you're one of the millions of women who want cellulite-free 
legs, try going dairy-free for a few weeks or months and see if 
this is the "missing link" you've been searching for. 

And one more tip: For those who don't want to go without 
a piece of cheese or that glass of cold milk, try the fruit juice 
alternative. 
The Fruit Juice alternative: Try drinking 1 oz. of unsweetened cranberry
juice with 7 oz. of water 4 to 7 times a day. The cranberry juice 
contains compounds that break down the waste so it doesn't attach to 
your legs causing that unsightly look. 

Start now and maybe you can show off your legs in time 
for the 4th of July! 

Good Luck!

Fruit Rxs For Beautiful Skin!

                              Become More Beautiful This Summer! 

Are you a fan of fruit? How about Summer fruits? 
You know, blueberries and strawberries?
Well, these two fruits are extrmemly popular this time of year,
mainly because of the taste, low prices and availability.

And you may know about the benefits of blueberries,
benefits like... curbing cravings, great for stomach flattening,
improving brain function and preventing dementia.

As for the strawberries, their benefits are numerous as well,
benefits like... relieving achy joints, soothing frazzled nerves, 
preventing certain cancers, (breast c. being one of them) fighting
viruses to keep you cold and flu-free and clearing up blemishes. 

But, if you're already healthy, and only want a little more help
looking more beautiful, then the strawberries and blueberries can
help you in that area as well.
Most of us are aware of the recession, and the toll it's taking
on a lot of people, one of those things the recession is really affecting, 
is being able to go to a spa and get that facial and massage,

But that's okay, because listed below are 2 natural remedies,
that use blueberries and strawberries, and the ways they can
enhance your beauty.

1) The Strawberry Face Scrub- 
Exfoliating as been named as the No. 1 "must-do" for a more
youthful appearance. (Don't believe it, look at Christie Brinkley, 
she's been exfoliating for over 20 yrs.) 

Buy some strawberries and do the following...
Cut up 2 or 3 strawberries into fine pieces, and place them into a 
bowl. Add 1 tbs. white or brown sugar and stir until it forms into a pink paste.  
After showering or washing your face, massage the above mixture
into your face for a few minutes. Rinse and then pat dry.
Place the leftover strawberry mask into a clean container or jar.
Use 2 times a week, and after a week, if there's any left, throw it out.
Important tip: Scrub your face on your day off, as it may make your 
face a little red. 

2) The Blueberry Mask- 
Buy some fresh blueberries and do the following...

Pour a quarter cup of blueberries into a blender, 
add a 1/2 cup of fresh yogurt. Wash your face over 
the sink or in the shower and leave it a little damp, 
Now, take a comfortable chair, lie back and place some of
the blueberry and yogurt mixture onto your face and neck, 
Leave on for 10 minutes, and then rinse off with lukewarm water. 
Do this twice a week, or until you get the desired results you want. 

That's it- 2 recipes that use Summer fruit, to make you more 
youthful and gorgeous. Plus, you'll save money on masks 
and facial scrubs and in this economy, that's always a good thing.

And one more tip: Make sure to use the sugar as an exfoliant only, 
adding sugar (lots of sugar) to blueberries and strawberries, (in desserts)
is a quick way to tear down your looks. And that comes from the great Dr. Oz.  

 Good Luck!

Coffee Rxs For Women!

                             Boosting Women's Mental Health With Coffee! 

Have you heard the latest news? Coffee drinkers live
an average of six years longer than non coffee drinkers. 
If a longer life isn't enough of a benefit, here's another benefit: 
Women who drink 2 to 3 cups of coffee a day are less likely to be
depressed. Caffeine triggers the feel-good dopamine, a
neurotransmitter produced in the brain. 

And if you're already a coffee drinker, good for you,
just remember to have your coffee without the sweet rolls,
cinnabuns, scones, muffins, cupcakes or donuts.
Foods like these, eaten on a regular basis can actually cause
you to be more depressed. Blame it on the white flour,
margarines, and sugars.

Good Luck!

Sandwich Rx For Men's Health!

                                 Guys and Tuna Sandwiches! 

Guys, have you given up the Tuna sandwich? Do you think
they're only meant for kids? Think they smell or are too messy? 
Well, believe it or not, a tuna sandwich or specifically the tuna,
offers a host of health benefits, benefits like...
a) Arthritis Prevention-
Protect your joints with tuna, especially the knees. 
Tuna is rich in selenium, a mineral that helps strengthen
and protect joint cartilage. Guys who get more selenium, 
have 35% chance of never getting arthritis. *
But there's a catch: The catch- get adequate amounts 
of selenium, too much can cause serious health issues. 
b) Better Moods- 
Tuna is also rich in taurine, an amino acid that helps reduce 
the racing and negative thoughts that plague both men and women. 
c) Lower Risks of Prostate Problems- 
Prostate cancer puts the fear in a lot of men, like breast cancer
does to women, reduce those fears with tuna.
Again, the higher the selenium levels, the lower your risk of
ever getting prostate cancer. Make sure to get some vitamin E,
with selenium. This is the one-two punch that you really need.
d) A Boost In Brainpower-
Need more smarts? Fish like tuna, salmon, and trout are rich in
omega-3 fatty acids, a natural anti-inflammatory that keeps
harmful plaque from attaching to your brain.  
* Another food rich in selenium: Brazil nuts. Eat 2 or 3 Only a day.  

There you have it- 4 benefits of a good tuna sandwich. 
Some other suggestions- make sure to have your tuna 
on a good whole grain bread like pumpernickle or rye, 
and watch the mayo. Use plain yogurt with some mustard, 
or horseradish or a little avocado with some olive oil. 

Or just add it to a salad with lots of greens, onions and garlic. 
And by all means- continue to feed it (tuna) to your kids, 
especially the boys. 
 
Good Luck!
