Make exercise part of your daily regime, like brushing your teeth.

2010-09-23T14:07:00.000-07:00

Exercise will help you control your weight and improve your body shape and posture.
Perhaps what you need now is the motivation to get started, and it’s not as hard as you might think - the following ideas will give you a nudge in the right direction.

GENTLY does it!

Gently ease yourself in an exercise programme. Build-up gradually to 30-60 minutes four times a week, you need to feel a little out of breath to know you are working hard enough. Every hour you dedicate to fitness is an hour well spent!

Wake up ten minutes early. Lie in bed and stretch all your legs, arms, back, neck, hands, feet, everything - feels great!
Join a gym, either by yourself, with your spouse or a friend.
Go for a brisk 30 minute walk at lunchtime, get some fresh air and feel that blood coursing through your veins.
Engage the services of a personal trainer - find out how to get fit the professional way.
For a daily workout, use your TV as a fitness partner with the help of a few DVDs - pilates, yoga, tai chi, stretching, etc.
Park your car further away from your workplace and walk.
Desk-bound? Keep moving! Tap your feet, swing your legs, fidget and stand when you use the telephone.
Use the stairs more often - great for a workout!
Join a rambling club and get out at the weekends with fellow walkers.
Play fun games with your children more frequently.
Treat yourself to a regular massage to help keep your muscles in balance.
Make sure you ENJOY what you do - if it’s not fun, the desire will dry up.

Muscles that are accustomed to a ‘quiet life’ won’t know what’s hit them if you suddenly start a busy exercise programme, this is when you are most vulnerable to injury. Introduce your body to exercise gradually and consider the follow advice.

Stretch and Balance. Tension and long periods of inactivity can cause your muscles to contract and tighten. Regular stretching helps to keep you limber and less prone to injury when you exercise. Among its many benefits, stretching reduces muscle tension, improves circulation, increases flexibility, reduces stress and fatigue, and improves mental alertness. Remember to stretch before and after any type of exercise, as well as on the days you choose not to exercise. A five minute stretching workout is the perfect way to start every day and again to help release tension before you go to bed. Practicing yoga is a great way to stretch your muscles and maintain flexibility. Once you get the hang of it, you’ll find yourself stopping for a good stretch throughout the day... why else do cats looks so content!

Tone and Strengthen. In addition to helping you look more toned, building muscle mass also has the advantage that you’ll burn more calories for every pound of muscle that you add. Try weight-lifting, resistance training, or pilates at least twice a week. By incorporating these simple fitness rules, any additional exercise you choose to do will reap larger rewards.

Cascading Revenol In a Class of it's Own

Cascading Revenol In a Class of it's Own

With Cascading Revenol leading the Antioxidant Revolution you too can benefit from an army of the most superior antioxidants to be found in one bottle.

Today's store shelves contain countless products containing one form of antioxidant or another, all of which claim to be superior. The question is, must you buy five, ten, or even twenty different products with various forms of expensive antioxidants to stay healthy?

With so many antioxidants to choose from, how can you really know which antioxidants to buy?

Although some antioxidants are superior in selectively fighting some free radicals, no one single antioxidant can rid the body of hundreds of free radicals that exist in your cells. Now you can have the benefits of an army of the most superior antioxidants - all in one bottle.

Cascading Revenol not only provides these antioxidants in the high quantities you need, but in a unique formulation that will provide you with the tremendous regenerative technology found in cascading antioxidants.

After having entered the body, most antioxidant molecular structures grab one free radical and then change into an inert state, ceasing to provide further radical-scavenging ability.

Cascading Revenol's technologically advanced cascading formulation assists
the regeneration of molecules so that many scavenging molecules can actually take multiple free radicals from the cells of the body. Imagine - instead of only one free radical being destroyed per antioxidant molecule, each molecule is able to change structure and repeat the process again and again. The value of each antioxidant molecule increases exponentially

Surprisingly unknown to many antioxidant users is the fact that, in some cases, after an antioxidant molecule has scavenged a free radical, the antioxidant molecule itself becomes a free radical. Neways compensates for this type of antioxidant blooper in its Cascading Revenol formula. Vitamin E and C are excellent examples of useful antioxidants that become free radicals after having absorbed one free radical per molecule. However, Cascading Revenol's formulation allows for vitamin C to regenerate the antioxidant effects of vitamin E. The ingredient glutathione regenerates vitamin C, converting it to its original beneficial form. Then alpha lipoic acid helps rejuvenate glutathione.

Other ingredients further carry out this process in the never-ending cascading combinations found throughout this advanced antioxidant formula. One of Cascading Revenol's most impressive cascades is found in rosemary extract, which contains the antioxidant molecule carnosic acid. After this powerful molecule has extracted a free radical, it changes its structure and becomes carnosol, Carnosol also extracts a free radical and then changes again, becoming rosmanol. Rosmanol continues free-radical scavenging until galdosol is created and further continues scavenging. All of this is accomplished beginning with just one simple, yet powerful antioxidant molecule.

Just as one vitamin or mineral is not the key to total body health, one antioxidant is not the key to effective free-radical elimination. When you use Cascading Revenol, your body will receive the powerful rejuvenating ability of a 1,268-mg mega-dose of the most high-impact cascading antioxidants known to the human race.

Caution: Consult a doctor before using these products if pregnant or lactating, or if you have a medical condition or are taking medication

Key ingredients:

Cascading Revenol's formulation boasts a healthy supply of an army of the most potent antioxidants in the world. Included in the line-up are the following:

Astaxanthin: sitting atop the antioxidant pyramid, this new, powerful antioxidant has the very rare ability to support healthy cellular function. Astaxanthin is a fat and water soluble nutrient, providing excellent bioavailability. Its polar power assists this nutrient by attaching itself to the sides of the cell membrane and also inside the cell membrane where the free radical attack is first encountered. Astaxanthin is on the fast track to being recognised as one of the strongest antioxidants on earth and Neways is proud to be one of the first companies to utilise this important component in Cascading Revenol.

Grape seed extract: Neways would not be content without being able to offer you the most powerful and bioavailable, broad spectrum antioxidant grape seed extract on the market. For this reason, Neways uses a full-spectrum extract from the Rhone Valley in France, the richest wine producing area in the world. This extract is rich in Oligomeric ProanthoCyanidins (OPCs). The bioflavonoids found in the grape skins also contribute significantly to the cascade effect of the formulation.

Decaffeinated green tea extract: boasting a 90% catechin content, Neways' green tea extract is a crucial element in the fight against free radicals. Green tea is known to assist against oxidation oflipids and promote overall health. Green tea also supports the circulatory, immune and cellular systems. Neways includes a very high concentration of this exceptional antioxidant in Cascading Revenol.

Turmeric extract: Neways only accepts turmeric with at least 95% curcuminoid
content. Why? Unlike many antioxidants, curcuminoids are able to not only support the body as it fights existing free radicals, but also support the bbdy in its fight against free radical formation. Turmeric extract is another indespensible ingredient in Cascading Revenol.

Rosemary officinalis extract: similar to vitamin E's maintenance of several other antioxidants, this superior extract possesses the cascading ability to rejuvenate vitamin E. Rosemary also participates in the carnosic acid cascade, enabling its molecules to repeatedly scavenge free radicals. Neways includes a very generous amount of this potent and unique aspect for the free radical attack. Alpha lipoic acid: originally thought to be a vitamin, this impressive antioxidant plays a key role in supporting the conversion of glucose to energy. If the body isdevoid of alpha lipoic acid, vitamins E and C (two of the greatest treasures in the vitamin world) are almost useless. Alpha lipoic acid conserves these two distinguished vitamins in the body, rendering them more productive. Alpha lipoic acid actually helps to recycle vitamin E. Furthermore, other antioxidants do not network together properly when the body is deficient of this vitamin-like substance. Alpha lipoic acid energises metabolism; supports muscle function; supports the body against heavy metals and toxic metals; supports the nervous system, liver, and immune system.

Ellagic acid: Neways is proud to be among the very first companies to recognise the benefits of ellagic acid. Keep an eye open for several new revelations concerning this new, highly regarded yet little known substance.

Resveratrol: trans-resveratrol is a powerful phytonutrient that has been identified as the healthiest aspect of red wine. This newly discovered antioxidant is also known to maintain healthy skin and helps support the immune system. This nutrient is not yet well recognised publicly, but Neways is quick to recognise it's benefits and has included resveratrol as one of the special ingredients in Cascading Revenol.

Bioflavonoid complex: ever wondered why an apple a day keeps the doctor
away? This is due to the high quantities offlavonoids found in fruits (and now
found in Cascading Revenol). These well researched antioxidants are known for
their powerful scavenging ability and are vital to this formula.

Carotenoid complex: carotenoids, found in several yellow and orange vegetables,
have a very synergistic significance in combination with selenium and vitamin E.
It has been shown that increased intake of vitamin E and carotenoids supports the cardiovascular system. The well-known benefits of alpha and beta-carotene are only a portion of the antioxidant power in Neways' carotenoid complex. Other
well-known carotenoids, among over 600 known, include lycopene, lutein and
zeaxanthin.

Co-enzyme Q10: Neways supplies a generous portion of Co-enzyme Q10 - an
important antioxidant found in all living cells. Co-QlO assists by strengthening
cell wall membranes and producing energy directly in the mitochondria of living
cells. Co-QlO supports the cardiovascular system, tissues, organs and the immune
system.

N-acetyl cysteine: as a thiol-replenishing component to the cascading formula, N-acetyl cysteine has been shown to be effective as well as safe. Its contribution to the glutathione/vitamin cascade is essential.

Esterified vitamin C: this is a bonded form of multiple vitamin C molecules in a
configuration that enhances its power and residual retention in the body. As in
Revenol, this form of vitamin C stays in the body for up to three days. This
increased retention time is extremely beneficial to antioxidants since vitamin C
plays an important role in the antioxidant cascade and is highly effective at
regenerating vitamin E.

Vitamin E: there are several cascading interactions of vitamin E with the other
antioxidants in the formula such as glutathione, selenium and vitamin C. Neways
takes advantage of the phytosome delivery system found in natural vitamin E to
increase absorption.

Glutathione: vitamin C relies upon glutatrnone's contribution to the antioxidant
cascade to support its free radical scavenging abilities. Without glutathione,
vitamin C and vitamin E cannot be regenerated to continue with their free radical scavenging activities. Alpha lipoic acid contributes greatly to glutathione's cascading qualities and content in the body.

Quercetin: derived from citrus fruit, this highly concentrated form of
biofiavonoids is widely regarded as one of the heavy hitters of the antioxidant
realm. Both Russians and Europeans have long recognised quercetin's support of
the body's systems. Its uses are spread from assisting relaxation to supporting the cardiovascular system. A generous supply of this ingredient adds a significant intensity to the formula.

White pine bark extract: containing an impressive complex of antioxidants, this water soluble flavonoid has an almost 500 year old history. Needless to say, the benefits of this complex antioxidant are extremely diversified and well known around the world.

Taurine: beneficial in supporting the nervous system, taurine makes a potent contribution to the cascading formulation. Taurine is an amino acid antioxidant that helps maintain the proper concentration of ions within cells. Taurine also plays a role in cardiovascular and cellular health.

Inositol: this white crystalline nutrient is a cell membrane stabiliser, a hydroxyl radical scavenger and growth supporter. Look for inositol's benefits in supporting musculoskeletal health and the signs associated with ageing. Inositol is a sugar found in the muscles, but does not stimulate insulin release.

Potassium sulphate: sulphur is critical to detoxification. It is also terrific in assisting the body in its fight against oxidative stress and a key element in the cascading chemical processes of this formulation within the body. This potassium form of sulphate promotes cellular energy.

Selenium selenomethionine: selenium is an important nutrient in the antioxidant cascade that promotes healthy cell division. The amino acid, methionine, is a carrier that helps selenium to be easily absorbed through the intestinal tract.

Copper: copper is an important supporting mineral for keeping our skin, blood vessels and connective tissues supple and elastic. Low levels of copper can contribute to free radicals by lowering the activity of several endogenous antioxidant peptides. This mineral is important in supplements that contain zinc and vitamin A.

Zinc monomethionine: this easily absorbed and retained form of zinc is vital for over 70 different enzyme systems. Zinc supports the immune, reproductive and musculoskeletal systems, the metabolism of vitamins A and E, energy production, DNA/protein synthesis and, of course, free radical scavenging activity. The list goes on as research continues to reveal much more about this impressive mineral.

Sustained release system
Cascading Revenol has been given an even bigger advantage over other antioxidant products. It utilises a unique sustained release delivery system. This system has been shown to release nutrients gradually over a period of ten hours. A constant slow release of nutrients enables the body to more easily regulate metabolic pathways.

This means the nutrients in Cascading Revenol are more efficiently absorbed in
the gastrointestinal tract, ensuring optimum utilisation by the body's system.

The added benefits...

Cascading Revenol packs a healthy mega-dose of cascading antioxidants, which
would cost hundreds of pounds if purchased separately outside this cascading
formulation.
* Provides heavy-duty antioxidant activity as a free radical scavenger.

• Supports the circulatory system and helps maintain the health of capillaries.

• Helps provide essential nutrients, which are required for overall good health.

• Helps maintain a sense of general well being.

Neways Green Qi®

2010-07-12T02:33:00.000-07:00

The Launch of a New Product Long Awaited .. Neways Green Qi

You can purchase this product from the Looks Amazing website.

Neways Green Qi®

A superfood formula, specially developed for the European Region with 100% organic* ingredients. Green Qi supplies your body with a multitude of fruit and vegetable ingredients to help maintain energy, healthy body cells, boost antioxidants and support healthy digestion.

The ingredient combination in Green Qi is rich in vitamins, minerals, amino acids and essential enzymes. A potent nutritional combination to help you feel healthier, more energised, and balanced.

“The Qi to great health”
A growing trend is super foods, foodstuff that give more than just basic nutrition to your diet. All foods have some nutritional value, but there are some that are so beneficial to your health they are known as ‘superfoods’.

Knowledge and understanding of superfoods amongst nutritionists is constantly evolving, and there is no doubt that diligently sourced raw ingredients and effective manufacturing procedures will provide an optimised nutritional profile.

The overall concensus is that unrefined and organic fruits, vegetables and grains lead the way – and we know our Distributors agree with that.

The ingredients in Green Qi feature 100% organic status and, following a freeze-drying manufacturing process are powdered and then combined to provide the highest possible level of nutrients. Nothing is removed apart from water – all the other key elements remain in place – awaiting rehydration!

Neways Green Qi®
100% organic certification in a powerful combination. Well, we know Green Qi contains the right stuff: superfoods, organic status, an optimised formulation and a nutritionally efficient manufacturing process. Now let’s take a closer look at the key individual ingredients.

Activated Pre Sprouted Barley (PSB) : The optimal nutritional state of the plant. One of the key ingredients of the formulation, PSB contains an abundance of nutritional strength.

Key elements include protein, soluble fibres, enzymes , essential fatty acids plus complex carbohydrate. ost of the essential vitamins and minerals are present, as are all eight essential amino acids in a ratio mirroring the human body’s. Spirulina: One of the greatest sources of vegetable protein and antioxidants.

Spirulina is a microscopic blue-green algae containing a balance of nutrients that make it virtually a ‘whole food’ capable of sustaining life without the need for other foods. Spirulina provides vitamins, many minerals, essential amino acids, carbohydrates and enzymes.

Spirulina is at least 60% vegetable protein, which is predigested by the algae, making it a highly digestible food. Spirulina also contains a wealth of pigments including chlorophyll-a, xanthophyll, beta-carotene, echinenone, myxoxanthophyll, zeaxanthin, canthaxanthin, diatoxanthin, 3’-hydroxyechinenone, beta-cryptoxanthin, oscillaxanthin, plus the phycobiliproteins c-phycocyanin and allophycocyanin. Linseed (Flaxseed): The richest vegan source of Omega-3fatty acids.

Linseed oil is one of the richest, natural sources of Omega-3 fatty acids and is an ideal alternative to fish oil (ideal for vegans). Linseed is also an optimal source of dietary fibre and protein and containing all eight essential amino acids plus it is the richest known source of lignans, which have antioxidative properties.

Neways Green Qi®
Barley Grass: The ideal enzyme/PH balancer to assist bioavailability. Barley Grass has a high alkalizing effect, which helps keep the ratio between acidity and alkalinity in our body fluids balanced and also helps to maximise the efficiency of cell function. Barley grass also contains live enzymes including the anti-aging enzyme superoxide dismutase (SOD).

SOD aids in digestion and metabolism by helping to disperse vitamins and minerals into the blood stream and also acts as a cellular anti-oxidant. Quinoa (pronounced Keen-wah): A mineral-rich fibre provider. Fibre is an essential part of our diet, and many modern diets are too low in this essential component.

Quinoa is not simply a fibre provider, it also is a good source of phosphorus and is high in magnesium and iron. Being gluten-free the presence of Quinoa in the formulation may also assist digestion. Apple, Bilberry, Raspberry Leaf, Carrot and Lemon Peel: Pigment providers and natural flavour enhancers.

The combination of the above five ingredients provide an extra fortification of valuable pigments including caretenoids and anthocyaninin pigments to deliver additional antioxidant support. These ingredients also provide simple and natural flavour enhancements – we think you’ll find Green Qi better tasting than you might expect! A powerful addition to the Neways Nutritional range Green Qi fits perfectly into our Nutritional range and neatly fills a gap in our European portfolio for a superfood formula.

Reports such as Datamonitor suggest that consumers’ awareness of the benefits of foods deemed good for them is increasing, and a growing proportion of European and US consumers are actively taking steps to eat and drink more healthily. Green Qi can be taken with Neways’ nutritional supplements and, as we always recommend, works best in combination with, and not instead of, a healthy and balanced diet.

It can be simply mixed with water, your favourite Neways liquid nutritional product, and could even be added to your regular meals such as soups, yoghurts and sauces!

Green Qi is suitable for vegans and vegetarians.

Neways Green Qi®
Usage Instructions: Mix ¼ scoop (4g) Neways Green Qi in
200ml of water or juice, one to three times a day before a
meal.
Size: 120g (4g per serving)

Case study

2010-06-13T02:34:00.000-07:00

On week on

Most people have now been back at work for a week and already it seems as if Christmas is long in the past. Trouble is the over indulgence has left its mark and I for one am doing my best to combat this.

I lost 1.5 lbs last week which isn’t bad but now I want to feel good in myself.

So, this is what I’ve done:
Doubled my dose of Maximol solutions to give all those vitamins, minerals and trace elements that I have been losing with all the rich food and drink I’ve been having.

Doubled my Probiotic a performance formula that promotes optimum digestive health and helps immune function by supporting the growth of friendly bacteria. With 2.88 billion viable* cells per capsule, this is one of the most powerful probiotics on the market. An effective way to readily aid digestive health and enhance the absorption of food and nutrients.

Decided to take Feelin’ Good for 7 days. This is an organic fibre supplement designed to help support and maintain a healthy digestive system and lower intestinal tract. Containing flaxseed, psyllium husk and slippery elm powders blended together with many other powerful ingredients to maintain and balance general health and well being that may also support colon health.

I have also been researching an advert I’ve seen on TV for a product called The One Week Diet Program, it sounded good on the television but please do your own research before you purchase.

It costs £29.99 for 1 week or £155.94 for 6 weeks. When I checked the nutrition facts on their website I decided that Neways Maximol was far better value and I know it contains all I need to help with my feel good programme, along with sensible eating.
Well here goes, I am now committed to my task as I have put pen to paper, if you would like to join me on this journey then please just email me on janetdalby@btinternet.com and we can move forwards together.

Good luck

StemEnhance

2010-05-29T02:36:00.000-07:00

“StemEnhance the worlds first nutritional stem cell enhancer”

What is it?

StemEnhance™ is a breakthrough, natural botanical extract that supports wellness by helping your body maintain healthy stem cell physiology.

It is the very first product on the market from the latest phytoceutical product category called “stem cell enhancers”.

What are stem cell enhancers?

Recent scientific developments have revealed that stem cells derived from the bone marrow, travel throughout the body, and act to support optimal organ and tissue function. Stem cell enhancers are products that support the natural role of adult stem cells.

Why do I need this product?

As you age, the number and quality of stem cells that circulate in your body gradually decrease, leaving your body more susceptible to injury and other age-related health challenges.

Just as antioxidants are important to protect your cells from “free radical” damage, stem cell enhancers are equally important to support your stem cells in maintaining proper organ and tissue functioning in your body.

How does it work?

When you take two capsules, the ingredients help to support the release of stem cells from the bone marrow into the bloodstream. Through a natural process, those stem cells then travel to areas of the body where they are most needed.

What are stem cells?

Stem cells can be thought of as “master” cells. You’ve probably heard about the controversy of embryonic stem cells in the news. Stem cells are found in human embryos, but are also found in adult tissue.

Adult stem cells are most abundantly found in bone marrow. Stem cells circulate and function to replace dysfunctional cells, thus fulfilling the natural process of maintaining optimal health. StemEnhance supports the release of adult stem cells from bone marrow into circulation.

The recent advances in stem cell research were listed as one of the most significant health-related stories in the past 25 years by CNN, second only to the complete mapping of the human genome.

Is StemEnhance™ scientifically studied?

Yes. Several clinical studies have been conducted on the product, in addition to several in-vitro trials.

Where is it available?

StemEnhance is only available through STEMTech HealthSciences, Inc. and its independent distributors. The formulation is patented and is the first of its kind on the market.

You can purchase from us at Looks Amazing StemEnhance.

Bananas

2010-05-14T02:35:00.000-07:00

After Reading THIS, you’ll NEVER look at a banana in the same way again!

Bananas Containing three natural sugars – sucrose, fructose and glucose combined with fiber, a banana gives an instant, sustained and substantial boost of energy.

Research has proven that just two bananas provide enough energy for a strenuous 90-minute workout.

No wonder the banana is the number one fruit with the world’s leading athletes. But energy isn’t the only way a banana can help us keep fit.

It can also help overcome or prevent a substantial number of illnesses and conditions, making it a must to add to our daily diet.

Depression:
According to a recent survey undertaken by MIND amongst people suffering from depression, many felt much better after eating a banana. This is because bananas contain tryptophan, a type of protein that the body converts into serotonin, known to make you relax, improve your mood and generally make you feel happier.

PMS:
Forget the pills — eat a banana. The vitamin B6 it contains regulates blood glucose levels, which can affect your mood.

Anemia:
High in iron, bananas can stimulate the production of hemoglobin in the blood and so helps in cases of anemia.

Blood Pressure:
This unique tropical fruit is extremely high in potassium yet low in salt, making it the perfect way to beat blood pressure. So much so, the US Food and Drug Administration has just allowed the banana industry to make official claims for the fruit’s ability to reduce the risk of blood pressure and stroke.

Brain Power:
200 students at a Twickenham school were helped through their exams this year by eating bananas at breakfast, break, and lunch in a bid to boost their brain power. Research has shown that the potassium-packed fruit can assist learning by making pupils more alert.

Constipation:
High in fiber, including bananas in the diet can help restore normal bowel action, helping to overcome the problem without resorting to laxatives.

Hangovers:
One of the quickest ways of curing a hangover is to make a banana milkshake, sweetened with honey. The banana calms the stomach and, with the help of the honey, builds up depleted blood sugar levels, while the milk soothes and re-hydrates your system.

Heartburn:
Bananas have a natural antacid effect in the body, so if you suffer from heartburn, try eating a banana for soothing relief.

Morning Sickness:
Snacking on bananas between meals helps to keep blood sugar levels up and avoid morning sickness.

Mosquito bites:
Before reaching for the insect bite cream, try rubbing the affected area with the inside of a banana skin. Many people find it amazingly successful at reducing swelling and irritation.

Nerves:
Bananas are high in B vitamins that help calm the nervous system.

Overweight and at work?
Studies at the Institute of Psychology in Austria found pressure at work leads to gorging on comfort food like chocolate and chips. Looking at 5,000 hospital patients, researchers found the most obese were more likely to be in high-pressure jobs. The report concluded that, to avoid panic-induced food cravings, we need to control our blood sugar levels by snacking on high carbohydrate foods every two hours to keep levels steady.

Ulcers:
The banana is used as the dietary food against intestinal disorders because of its soft texture and smoothness. It is the only raw fruit that can be eaten without distress in over-chronicler cases. It also neutralizes over-acidity and reduces irritation by coating the lining of the stomach.

Temperature control:
Many other cultures see bananas as a “cooling” fruit that can lower both the physical and emotional temperature of expectant mothers. In Thailand, for example, pregnant women eat bananas to ensure their baby is born with a cool temperature.

Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD):
Bananas can help SAD sufferers because they contain the natural mood enhancer tryptophan.

Smoking:
Bananas can also help people trying to give up smoking. The B6, B12 they contain, as well as the potassium and magnesium found in them, help the body recover from the effects of nicotine withdrawal.

Stress:
Potassium is a vital mineral, which helps normalize the heartbeat, sends oxygen to the brain and regulates your body’s water balance. When we are stressed, our metabolic rate rises, thereby reducing our potassium levels. These can be rebalanced with the help of a high-potassium banana snack.

Strokes:
According to research in “The New England Journal of Medicine,” eating bananas as part of a regular diet can cut the risk of death by strokes by as much as 40%!

So, a banana really is a natural remedy for many ills. When you compare it to an apple, it has four times the protein, twice the carbohydrates, three times the phosphorus, five times the vitamin A and iron, and twice the other vitamins and minerals. It is also rich in potassium and is one of the best value foods around. So maybe its time to change that well-known phrase so that we say, “A banana a day keeps the doctor away!”

Bath Tub Test

2010-05-07T02:35:00.000-07:00

The Bathtub Test

I love this one!

During a visit to the mental asylum, I asked the director : How do you determine whether or not a patient should be institutionalized?”

‘Well,’ said the Director, ‘we fill up a bathtub, then we offer a teaspoon, a teacup and a bucket to the patient and ask him or her to empty the bathtub.’

‘Oh, I understand,’ I said. ‘A normal person would use the bucket because it’s bigger than the spoon or the teacup.’

‘No.’ said the Director, ‘A normal person would pull the plug. Do you want a bed near the window?’

ARE YOU GOING TO PASS THIS ON, OR DO YOU WANT THE BED NEXT TO MINE?

Snow

2010-05-06T03:37:00.000-07:00

It's Snowing Outside

Come on now let’s be doing something useful on this cold snowy morning. I’d like to share my thoughts with you.

I’m 63 years old now and in 2000 I retired financially independent, well life has a habit of changing your destiny and 2009 has surely been a testing time.

I am sitting here today evaluating where to go with my life, I love my website and the fact that I can help a lot of people with allergy problems and chronic things like arthritis and I’d never stop chatting to folks about how they can do such a good job of keeping themselves healthy with a little thought and the right supplements.

However, I also like chatting about our apartments in the Caribbean these are fantastic and from an initial idea of just supplementing our pension they will become a major part of our income.

This blog isn’t the place to expound their merits so please have a look at our website http://www.pearl-investment-property.co.uk/.co.uk and take the time to see how you can make 2010 a year to remember.

Goodness it’s already 12.30 and time for coffee. Have a great day

2010-04-23T02:37:00.000-07:00

“My Big Fat Diet Show”

I can’t believe the amount of calories in tonight’s salads! I could eat one of those as a starter. How can we ever be expected to eat well when the advertisers do everything in their power to confuse us.

Please, if you are an expert in this, then help! I am 63 years old, I am extremely healthy, take all the supplements that keep me well but I am 21lbs heavier than I wish to be. I am the proverbial yoyo dieter, I am either brilliant or terrible, please let’s chat.

The Amazing Cucumber

2010-04-16T02:38:00.000-07:00

At Looks Amazing we like to give you the best advice possible to help your health and support your body.

So here are some facts about the amazing cucumber!

1. Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day, just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium, Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.

2. Feeling tired in the afternoon, put down the caffeine drinks and pick up a cucumber. Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and Carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.

3. Tired of your bathroom mirror fogging up after a shower? Try rubbing a cucumber slice along the mirror, it will eliminate the fog and provide a soothing, spa-like fragrance.

4.. Are grubs and slugs ruining your planting beds? Place a few slices in a small pie tin and your garden will be free of pests all season long. The chemicals in the cucumber react with the aluminium to give off a scent undetectable to humans but drive garden pests crazy and make them flee the area.

5. Looking for a fast and easy way to remove cellulite before going out or to the pool? Try rubbing a slice or two of cucumbers along your problem area for a few minutes, the phytochemicals in the cucumber cause the collagen in your skin to tighten, firming up the outer layer and reducing the visibility of cellulite. Works great on wrinkles too!!!

6. Want to avoid a hangover or terrible headache? Eat a few cucumber slices before going to bed and wake up refreshed and headache free. Cucumbers contain enough sugar, B vitamins and electrolytes to replenish essential nutrients the body lost, keeping everything in equilibrium, avoiding both a hangover and headache!!

7. Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.

8. Have an important meeting or job interview and you realize that you don’t have enough time to polish your shoes? Rub a freshly cut cucumber over the shoe, its chemicals will provide a quick and durable shine that not only looks great but also repels water.

9. Out of WD 40 and need to fix a squeaky hinge? Take a cucumber slice and rub it along the problematic hinge, and voila, the squeak is gone!

10. Stressed out and don’t have time for massage, facial or visit to the spa? Cut up an entire cucumber and place it in a boiling pot of water, the chemicals and nutrients from the cucumber with react with the boiling water and be released in the steam, creating a soothing, relaxing aroma that has been shown the reduce stress in new mothers and college students during final exams.

11. Just finish a business lunch and realize you don’t have gum or mints? Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath, the phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.

12. Looking for a ‘green’ way to clean your taps, sinks or stainless steel? Take a slice of cucumber and rub it on the surface you want to clean, not only will it remove years of tarnish and bring back the shine, but is won’t leave streaks and won’t harm you fingers or fingernails while you clean.

13. Using a pen and made a mistake? Take the outside of the cucumber and slowly use it to erase the pen writing, also works great on crayons and markers that the kids have used to decorate the walls!!

No Margarine...

2010-04-09T02:39:00.000-07:00

Pass the butter please...

Margarine was originally manufactured to fatten turkeys and when it killed the turkeys, the people who had put all the money into the research wanted a payback so they put their heads together to figure out what to do with this product to get their money back.

It was a white substance with no food appeal so they added the yellow colouring and sold it to people to use in place of butter.

How do you like it? They have come out with some clever new flavourings.

DO YOU KNOW.. The difference between margarine and butter?

Read on to the end…gets very interesting!

Both have the same amount of calories.
Butter is slightly higher in saturated fats at 8 grams; compared to 5 grams for margarine.
Eating margarine can increase heart disease in women by 53% over eating the same amount of butter, according to a recent Harvard Medical Study.
Eating butter increases the absorption of many other nutrients in other foods.
Butter has many nutritional benefits where margarine has a few and only because they are added!
Butter tastes much better than margarine and it can enhance the flavours of other foods.
Butter has been around for centuries where margarine has been around for less than 100 years .

And now, for Margarine...

Very High in Trans fatty acids.
Triples risk of coronary heart disease .
Increases total cholesterol and LDL (this is the bad cholesterol) and lowers HDL cholesterol, (the good cholesterol)
Increases the risk of cancers up to five times…
Lowers quality of breast milk.
Decreases immune response.
Decreases insulin response.

And here’s the most disturbing fact…… HERE IS THE PART THAT IS VERY INTERESTING!

Margarine is but ONE MOLECULE away from being PLASTIC… and shares 27 ingredients with PAINT!

These facts alone were enough to have me avoiding margarine for life and anything else that is hydrogenated (this means hydrogen is added, changing the molecular structure of the substance).

You can try this yourself:
Purchase a tub of margarine and leave it open in your garage or shaded area. Within a couple of days you will notice a couple of things:

* no flies, not even those pesky fruit flies will go near it (that should tell you something)
it does not rot or smell differently because it has no nutritional value ; nothing will grow on it. Even those teeny weeny microorganisms will not a find a home to grow. Why? Because it is nearly plastic . Would you melt your Tupperware and spread that on your toast?

Share This With Your Friends…..(If you want to butter them up)!

Antioxidants

2010-03-20T01:52:00.000-07:00

At Looks Amazing we always recommend the toxin free health products that add benefit to your healthy lifestyle.

Research shows that Antioxidants, are a great source of vitamins and work to keep our tissues from aging and to keep away another set of illnesses, a researcher in Malaysia said...

"There is a growing body of information based on antioxidant research and how the free radical mechanism generates oxidative stress in tissues leading to inflammations or oxidative injury or inactivation of enzymes involved in cellular function and how free radicals, being extremely reactive, damage protein or hormone molecules or cell membranes and promote aging of the body and how free radicals create the onset of chronic or degenerative conditions especially when they are in excess of antioxidants. This lends support to the new wave on the use of exogenous antioxidants and minerals for maintaining optimal health and to create a vibrant, healthy and productive middle age and to push into the eighties."

Antioxidants are needed to combat free radicals.
Free radicals are damaged and unstable molecules which attack other cells.
We manufacture fewer antioxidants as we get older and our food no longer contains sufficient antioxidants.

THE IMPORTANCE OF ANTIOXIDANTS

One single antioxidant is not capable of fighting all the different groups to which we are exposed.
We need a comprehensive blend of antioxidants to combat over 1100 different families of free radicals and boost the body’s defences.

PROBABLY THE WORLDS NUMBER ONE ANTIOXIDANT

A broad spectrum antioxidant combination voted the number 1 in the world.

Contains:

Turmeric
Grape seed
White and maritime pine bark
Ginkgo Biloba
Vitamins A, C and E

A few products Looks Amazing recommend:

Milk Thistle Formula
Prophin Thermogenic Blend
Orachel
Duri Fusion
Acai

Harmful Ingredients we use everyday...

2010-03-14T01:41:00.000-08:00

Studies have shown that the home is the biggest source of damage.

Anything from Sprays, cleaning products, air fresheners and chemicals in products we use daily such as toothpaste, soaps, deodorants etc. could be damaging our health.

Over 800 ingredients have been identified as acutely toxic, of which over a hundred are highly dangerous and carcinogenic.

To name a couple of these ingredients and what they can be found in:

SODIUM LAURYL SULPHATE

Found in shampoos, hair conditioners, toothpaste, body washes. Can cause eye irritation, permanent eye damage, skin rashes, hair loss, flaking skin, mouth ulceration. Penetrates skin, lodges in heart, lungs, liver, brain and accumulates.

Looks Amazing suggest:

The toxin free hair care range

The toxin free dental range

PROPYLENE GLYCOL

Solvent used in make up, hair care, deodorants and aftershave, because it gives a smooth feel.
Main ingredient in antifreeze, brake fluid and oven cleaner!

This is a strong irritant and inhibits skins respiration. It can cause dermatitis, liver abnormalities and kidney damage.

Looks Amazing suggest:

The toxin free personal care range

Just a few small changes in your lifestyle could keep you and your family safe.

Ground Breaking New Products and Programmes for Europe

2010-03-12T06:43:00.000-08:00

During a recent “Magic 10” tour in Belgium, Germany, Hungary, and the United Kingdom, Neways Europe launched 10 major new product and business concepts, including the new noncarbonated natural energy drink Acai Action.

“This Magic 10 initiative is full of power and excitement,” said Neways president and COO Brian Slobodow, who also leads the company’s Europe market. “The central theme of the meetings was sponsoring. Magic 10 is already helping us in our endeavor to bring the Neways Healthy Homes mission to even more households across the European region.”

Most attendees agreed that the biggest highlight of Magic 10 was the launch of Acai Action. “This fabulous-tasting fruit-juice formula harnesses some of nature’s most powerful energy enhancers,” said Shaun Charity, managing director of Neways in the U.K. “Handy mini-bottles provide truly portable power! It’s supercharged with Brazilian acai berries, green tea, eight antioxidant fruit juices, plus guarana, yerba maté, and vitamin B1. Acai Action is smooth and great tasting, and it’s easy to drink too, because it’s noncarbonated and free from artificial coloring and sweeteners.”

Following are testimonials from European distributors about this stimulating new product:

* Ashley and Mandy Rickard: “We take Acai Action before we do our workouts each morning, and we really notice the difference. What it seems to do is bring you up gently and give you extra energy, but unlike most other drinks that give you a quick rush, this lasts. It tastes great and is a healthy start to the day.”

* Morag and Hamish Rosie: “After sampling the new product, Morag did not sleep while I drove home. This has never happened before! Wow, Acai Action is going to be a great success. It increases our energy and performance. Exciting!”
* Tina Cartwright: “My husband has always been skeptical of health drinks. But he leads a very hectic life and is often on the road by 5:30 a.m. and not home till 7:30 p.m., which worries me. I asked him to humor me and try Acai Action, and now he asks me to leave one out for him every morning!”

* Rita Wolfers: “I am almost 77. I drank a bottle of Acai Action on the way home from our meeting and felt tip-top to drive for the three hours it took us. I am usually quite tired towards the end of my journey, but Acai Action did the trick.”

* Louisa Marsh: “My husband, Nigel, has been doing shift work, with long hours playing havoc with his body clock and energy levels. Since he started to drink Acai Action, he has noticed a phenomenal difference in his energy level and his ability to stay alert and feel refreshed. He now has a healthy energy drink instead of many cups of coffee.”

* Sandra & Andreas Schwormstädt: “The Magic 10 meeting was worth it for everybody. Neways is on the right track, and the new product is very promising. After 11 years of Neways, we have seen and heard a lot, and now we have the feeling again that Neways is heading in the right direction.”

* Norbert Trux: “Thank you for the absolutely wonderful event last weekend. The presentation of Neways was excellent. It is typical for the MLM industry to be full of hype and talk in gigantic terms, but the Neways management team makes it refreshing, healthy, credible, and positive—just better and different. I can bring my new team partners to corporate events and afterward still say with pride and passion: I am Neways. Thank you for the support.”

In addition to Acai Action, the Magic 10 tour also featured training on how to sponsor, introduction of Maximol Solutions® mini-bottles and a Neways product sampler called the Experience Kit, web improvements, a Healthy Homes survey, new videos, new market openings planned for France and Switzerland, and more.
