|
 | You'll have egg on your face...if you want clear, healthy skin. Separate an egg and use a clean beauty brush to paint a medium-thick coat of beaten yolk onto your face. Let it dry and wash it off. Repeat this a couple of times a day until you start seeing significant results.
|
| A favorite of the fall and winter harvest, the hearty squash also offers a variety of health benefits: omega-3s, beta-carotene, dietary fiber and potassium, to name a few. So, if you know what’s good for you, and now you do, eat squash and be healthy!
|
| American ginseng is helpful for men looking to shape up. Studies show that men who take at least 3 grams of American ginseng per day experience lower blood sugars and lower insulin levels after eating!
|
| White tea is packed with polyphenols, a powerful form of antioxidant that helps strengthen the body's immune defense system. So try a cup or two!
|
| Mushrooms are a safe, natural, tasty and easy way to boost your immune system! Add this natural medicine to your favorite soups, salads, sauces, and pasta dishes.
|
| For soft, smooth skin add some honey to your bathwater! Dissolve 2 tablespoons of honey in 1 cup of hot water, pour it into your bath and relax for 10 to 15 minutes.
|
| Add some plants to your daytime environment to boost the oxygenation. Plants release oxygen and absorb carbon dioxide and other toxins during the daylight hours.
|
| For a mini-vacation, try a 30-second meditation - simply close your eyes and take a few slow, deep breaths - great for when you're at work!
|
| Did you know that a lot of restaurants will let you substitute vitamin-rich steamed vegetables for a pasta side dish? Often there is only a nominal charge - or no charge!
|
| After drinking green tea, put the used tea bags around your eyes to treat dark circles! The alkaloids in the tea help to renew the skin around the eyes for a fresh look.
|
| Muscles are funny. They get thirsty, too! Be sure to drink water before and after exercising. Whether you do aerobics or yoga, muscles are getting a workout. Make sure you rehydrate them to keep them healthy.
|
| When you eat an apple, don't peel it! Apples are chock-full of powerful compounds called flavonoids - all-natural anti-inflammatories - and the peel contains up to six times more than the flesh.
|
| While the chill in the air might tempt you to take a steaming hot shower, don’t!!!!! It will only dry out your skin. Take a lukewarm shower, pat skin dry with a towel and apply a moisturizer within three minutes of stepping out of the shower to lock in moisture.
|
| Don’t forget to drink water! It’s good for just about everything. Drink it before a meal to curb your appetite. And drink it to quench your skin from the inside out.
|
| Chilly winter winds can make skin dry, cracked and sore. For a soothing experience,
put a little oatmeal in your bath water.
|
| Next time you find yourself saying “I need a break!” – take one! You can unwind in your bathtub with a tub full of hot water and a dual jet bath spa. Add this wonderful item to your bath and you’ll have an instant Jacuzzi!
