Naturally Yours

Have you ever thought about what it takes to get healthy and keep healthy?  I started thinking the other day - what all it entails to be healthy - to lose weight without harmful side effects  and what all just living healthy entails.  Sometimes it can be over-whelming at best.  We use so many products on a daily basis - products that have additives and chemicals that are not good for us.  There are the things we need to weed out -

I found a blog today - a good one that was talking about starting off the next year on the right foot - all by setting his goals into motion a full two months early. You know that the holidays are the tempting ones - the nice sweets arranged all so pretty - the free flowing drinks that make you feel all warm inside.  Well I decided just like the individual who wrote the blog on November Goals - to do the same.  Why not?

After all how much weight do you usually gain during the holildays?  How stressed do you get?  Do you over -spend, then pay for that the entire next year?  Well, I am challenging you all to do the same.  Set your goals into motion now!  Before the madness starts - that way, you too will start off the year 2009 with a healthy body ready to take on anything.

My goals:

• To be able to help 10 people start on their path of success - to enable those individuals to reap the benefits of having a home based business that not only pay the bills, but allows them to do the things they want to do
• To exercise more
• To continue on my path of eating healthier
• To continue on the path of using healthy products not only around the house but on myself too
• Try to encourage others to pass their blessings forward too!
• Constantly remind myself to write down the 3 things I am thankful for - to start out the day being thankful instead of complaining!

If you are needing any of the above - I will help you personally - after all isn’t that what this world is all about - one person helping another then passing that blessing forward?  Then join me now - together we can make a difference - one person at a time!

There might not be a fountain of youth, but you may find just what you need at the local grocery store!  Did you know that there are six great foods that will fight the aging process? These six foods will help reverse your aging process if you will just eat them.

1. Spinach
2. Strawberries
3. Curry Powder
4. Tomatoes
5. Almonds
6. Dark Chocolate

I know - start with the best first - chocolate! Chocolate is full of the chemicals that help blood vessels relax.  This will help in the prevention of heart attacks and stroke.  Chocolate actually helps to lower your blood pressure.

Almonds are another great food that can be used for the mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks.  Almonds help to reduce the free radicals in your body.  Researchers are recommending 50 almonds a day.  Try adding almonds to your breakfast cereal.  It is tasty and gives the cereal a good “crunch”.

Tomatoes are full of lycopene which protects your skin from oxidation.  Oxidation comes from the sun damage your skin receives.  The more oxidation you have - the more wrinkles - and none of us want more wrinkles.  By adding just a tch of olive oil to your tomato consumption will help your body utilize the lycopene.

Curry powder is full of the antioxidant curcumin, which protects your body from Alzheimer’s.  Did you realize that in India, where curry is a prominent spice, that the rate of Alzheimer’s Disease is only 1/4 of that of the U.S.?  Maybe we should be adding curry to some of our dishes.

Strawberries are rich in polyphenols, which help boost memory and communication!

If you are interested in keeping young and vibrant, maybe you should consider adding these six anti-aging foods to your next grocery list.  I have added a great recipe that ustilizes most of these foods below.

Spinach  Strawberry Salad

1 pound spinach leaves (even if they say pre-washed, wash them again and dry with a towel)

1 medium tomato - diced

1/4 cup sliced almonds

1 pint sliced strawberries

1/3 cup raspberry vinegar

1 tsp. dry mustard

1 tsp season salt

1/4 cup Xylitol (this is a natural sugar)

1 cup Olive Oil

1 1/2 tsp. poppy seeds

Put the spinach, strawberries and tomatoes together in a bowl.

Place the almonds on a cookie sheet and bake for about 5 - 7 minutes at 350 degrees- stir often

Mix all of the dressing ingredients together (except the poppy seeds) while you are baking the almonds. It is easier to place all of the ingredients for the dressing in a blender or food processor and mix.  After the almonds are done put them on your salad - this may wilt some of the spinach.  Mix the poppy seeds into your dressing by hand and then pour the dressing over your salad.  To make this salad rock with health benefits, take a small amount of the salad and put just a touch of curry on it.  Do you like it? Just don’t put too much curry on it as curry is very strong.  A little goes a long way.

Enjoy this healthy, anti-aging salad!

Aren’t we bombarded enough by all the bad things on our food, injected in our food, the chemicals we use around our house (ie. bug spray) and the medicines we take without the thought of putting carcinogens on my body? I did not realize that the government lets those things go like that.

Do you know that the Cosmetic, toiletries and fragrance business is $50 BILLION business? I knew that I spent money on those things, but I never dreamed it was that huge! This big industry has many lobbyists that are constantly fighting Continue Reading »
