Skin blemishes appear in myriad ways, some sudden and acute, others developing over time. But all bear the unsavory characteristic of being highly visible, more often than not on the face. They make us feel self-conscious, looking less than our best. Read the rest of this entry »

A healthy smile does the heart good…literally! Did you know that the state of your dental health can greatly impact your physical health?

Link Between Periodontal and Heart Diseases

Numerous studies have shown a real relationship between periodontal disease and risks for cardiovascular and other diseases. One recent study conducted by researchers at London’s University College determined that people who brushed their teeth infrequently had a whopping 70% higher risk of developing heart disease. This is due, in part, to oral bacteria resulting from chronic gum infection leaching into the bloodstream and attaching to fatty plaque in the arteries. Read the rest of this entry »

Your mom said it first…”Eat Your Vegetables!” Health was often her motivation, though her reasoning wasn’t necessarily all that scientific: Carrots help your eyes see better, moms have been saying for decades, though the science on the subject is shaky. You need your roughage is another mom standard, this one much better founded. But did your mom ever say to you Eat up your vegetables—they’ll make you pretty…? Read the rest of this entry »

In the past, I consumed a good quantity of sweet fruits. Half a watermelon and 5-7 peaches was a typical day. And I achieved great results. It works. On the other hand, I heard from other authors how great it is to live with no sweet fruits at all. For several years I’ve been wanting to try this approach myself. Read the rest of this entry »

You know her. She’s an “older” lady. (Why do we think older sounds younger than old?) The kind who breathes sweetness, gratitude, joy. Her presence is delightful. She is never without a genuine smile and she is pleasant to look at. She isn’t flawless. Certainly not wrinkle-free. Yet she stands out among other “old” people. She wears none of those furrowed brows and pursed lips formed from anger, disapproval, resentment. She may be sixty, seventy, eighty, ninety or more. But at any of these chronological ages, she’ll stand out from those sadder, more tragically carved faces in the background. Question: When you reach her chronological age, which face would you like to present? Read the rest of this entry »

Vanity. Despite how it may sound it can be the one and only thing that is big enough to drive people to change their bad habits and unhealthy lifestyles. It’s not that most people don’t know the drawbacks of a poor diet and detrimental lifestyle practices such as smoking or overeating, but for some people even after they hear all the testimonies about how good they can feel and some of the powerful healing effects of raw foods, they still have a hard time finding the inspiration to really go out there and do it.

If You Need Another Incentive…

For some people, being gravely ill and without viable alternatives becomes a good incentive to start the raw food diet, but, for others, a lack of motivation is the real problem. Many women have told me that they would not consider going raw for their health-they would just take medication. They would, however, do it for beauty. Clearly, beauty is a great impetus. This goal does not, however, preclude men, the raw food diet is just as beneficial for them-it just makes them handsome instead of beautiful. Read the rest of this entry »
