As a refresher – cellulite is a chronic condition requiring continual maintenance. This means two things: 1) There is no cure for cellulite (just like there is no cure for the common cold) 2) There will never be any rest for the weary! Sorry, I’m not trying to be a Debbie Downer but we don’t want to make any false promises here. First of all, cellulite is the body’s way of telling us that it [...]
I love eating it – fruits and veggies: berries, kiwi fruit, nectarines, peaches, kale, cauliflower, Brussels sprouts (the best when roasted), broccoli. It continues to amaze me how powerful a single vitamin can be. When taken both internally as well as applied externally, Vitamin C does not disappoint! I believe that the beauty benefits are so great that most of the serums that I develop for Lotus Moon contain some percentage of vitamin C (l-ascorbic [...]
Yeah, pretty catchy title don’t you think? I have a sweet tooth like nobody’s business. So I decided to start experimenting with some raw desserts on my own. When I have a sugar craving of some sort I now have learned that it is due to lack of protein intake. So I pay attention to that. But there are other days when I just want something sweet but not anything that will send me over [...]
This delicious tropical fruit has amazing nutritional value that I bet YOU NEVER KNEW. Papaya is richer in nutrients than just about any other fruit. It’s abundant in vitamins A, C, D, E and K as well as minerals calcium, phosphorus and iron. What’s also wonderful about papaya is that it hardly contains any starch; it is made up of simple, natural sugars that are readily absorbed into the bloodstream. Mother nature has already broken [...]
With my busy schedule it’s very hard for me to find time to exercise. So I have been in search of an easy way to keep my body in good shape. When I discovered rebounding, I thought I had died and gone to HEAVEN!! It is so convenient, safe and easy. It doesn’t matter what the weather is – so I couldn’t use that excuse anymore. The more I started learning about the benefits of [...]
What did you REALLY think this blog post was going to be about? Tsk, tsk tsk… Shame on you people… But how else am I suppose to make you read about something that is so wonderfully healthy for you? I have NEVER been a huge watermelon fan until I started Body Rejuvenation Cleanses on a regular basis. That’s when I learned how amazing watermelon is for cleansing the digestive system. Summertime is especially perfect for [...]
Okay, maybe I’m exaggerating slightly when I say that this is the BEST balsamic salad dressing in the world but it is so easy and quick and TASTY that I couldn’t help but to put a little extra emphasis on it to make my point. All I know is, I no longer buy salad dressing from the store. This dressing helps to flush fat from the system because of the omega-6 in safflower and flax [...]
I love mother earth and all the beauty nutrients she provides. Here is a recipe that I tried when I first bought my VitaMix a few weeks ago. Even my hard-core meat eating fiance loved this…only thing is that he needed it heated up. He’s not a “room temperature” kinda guy… This soup is a potent source for all the vitamins and minerals available in the raw vegetables themselves. Their fiber content helps to sweep [...]
We all want that healthy looking skin glow. The problem is that when we try to achieve it through tanning beds we might as well act like we are laying in a coffin when we do so, because we are killing ourselves slowly by exposing our bodies to that type of damage. I hate to sound so morose but I’m trying to create a visual for you. I only bring this up because I want [...]
Don’t be intimated by the equipment that you will need to make this most amazing Beta-carotene rich, protein-rich BEAUTY SHAKE… After you have made it once you will want to make it again and again. Yes! It is THAT delicious. Whenever, I make this drink I always make enough for a 12-16oz size. Today I made so much that I put it in a thermos and brought it to the office with me for a [...]
