How to be Slim for Holiday and beyond

2009-11-23T18:13:00.000-08:00

Today`s blog about how to be slim for Holidays with my secret weapon, Acai Berry Detox.
Acai Berry Detox was featured on numerous daytime television programs recently. It was a very tough decision when deciding which to rate higher as this products worked about as good as Max Acai Boost but it lacks the green tea extract. The pill was slightly larger than MaxAcai Boost also. We didn't feel the effects as quickly as we did with Max Acai Boost but after a 2 week period the results were about identical in terms of weight loss.

Healthy Habits

Follow this simple checklist to get on the path to more healthful eating and a healthier self.

Read Labels, All labels, no exceptions.- This takes time at first, but soon you'll know which products to buy and how to reduce exposure to chemicals and other potentially harmful ingredients:Avoid mystery ingredients. If you don't know what an ingredient is, put it back.Avoid trans fats: "Partially hydrogenated" indicates trans fat, which may damage cell walls and increase bad cholesterol

Say no to high-fructose corn syrup: Although Lehrman said some studies show no difference between high-fructose corn syrup and sugar, most of our experts recommend eliminating it. Other studies show that fructose may not trigger an insulin response, which triggers leptin, which makes you feel full. In other words, fructose makes you consume more. High-fructose corn syrup may also lead to mineral loss, higher triglycerides and other problems.

Don't buy genetically modified: It could mess with human gene expression. Most corn and soy in the United States is genetically modified -- look for organic or non- genetically modified on the label.

Cut out MSG, or monosodium glutamate, which may cause neuron damage. Some people are also sensitive to MSG and react with headaches, nausea and weakness.

Reconsider your supermarket. If it's hard to find products that fit this list, find a new grocery store. The panel recommends co-op grocery stores and natural food stores for more healthful fare.

Choose produce strategically. Eat as many vegetables and fruits as possible. And our experts agree: Buy organic when you can so you'll take in fewer chemicals. Make it more affordable by buying in-season or frozen produce. Also, buy organic for the "Dirty Dozen" -- the 12 most chemical-laden produce -- but stick with conventional for the "Clean Fifteen," 15 items with low chemical residue.

Dirty Dozen: Peach, apple, bell pepper, celery, nectarine, strawberry, cherry, kale, lettuce, grape, carrot, pear. Clean Fifteen: Onion, avocado, sweet corn, pineapple, mango, asparagus, sweet peas, kiwi, cabbage, eggplant, papaya, watermelon, broccoli, tomato, sweet potato.

Check your meat. The experts strongly recommend buying more healthful meat, such as organic, 100 percent grass-fed beef from free-range cattle. You'll ingest better fats, more nutrients and fewer chemicals. Buy poultry (and eggs) from free-range birds raised on pastures. Offset the higher cost of healthful meat by eating it less often. Add vegetarian meals using cheaper plant-based proteins, such as beans. Save money by purchasing meat directly from farmers.

Increase healthful fats. Americans don't get enough healthful fats. Eat nuts, flaxseed and wild-caught fish, such as salmon, herring, mackerel and tuna. If you can't pay for wild and have to choose between farm-raised and no fish, it's better to choose farm-raised.
Use whole grains. Buy oatmeal, brown rice, wild rice, quinoa and other grains in bulk. It's healthful, cheap and versatile. Cook up a big pot of grains once a week and use it as the base for several meals.

Buy better milk. Americans drink a lot of milk, so get it right. Choose hormone-free and organic.Make time for more healthful meals

Plan ahead. This is a must. Wagner holds parties where groups get together to swap their favorite healthful recipes and plan meals over wine and cheese. People compile grocery lists for meal plans that last 10 to 14 days. Do the same thing in your home, planning a week's worth. This will save you from grabbing fast food or microwave dinners because you're short on time.

Prep ahead. Before the week starts, spend half a day grocery shopping and preparing snacks and meals. Cook a batch of steel-cut oatmeal or granola, freeze serving-size containers with smoothie ingredients, grill several chicken breasts to use in tacos, soups and salads. Soak beans for stews and burritos. Grate cheese and slice fresh veggies. Have your family or roommates help, or get together with a group to cook in large batches and divvy up the final products. This is a huge time-saver and stress-reducer. Try it once and you'll be hooked.

Invest in cooking. Cooking classes make preparation faster, food tastier and meal planning more fun. Consider buying a food processor to save time on foods like salsa or hummus. Crockpots are time-savers, too.

Get creative. Buy lemons in bulk to save cash. Squeeze the juice into ice cube trays for fresh lemon juice in no time. Turn a loaf of whole-wheat bread into French toast, slide the slices between parchment paper, store them in the freezer and pop one in the toaster for breakfast.

Use clear containers. Store pre-cut fruit and veggies in a visible place. Use serving-size glass containers to divide soup or stir-fries, so each morning all you have to do is grab a container and go.

A Healthier Way to Smoke

2009-11-15T14:50:00.000-08:00

Have you heard of the Electronic Cigarette? If you have not, and you're a smoker, or even a non-smoker, you're missing out! The Electronic Cigarette, also known as E- Cig which look like a cigarette, feels like a cigarette, taste like a cigarette, but isn't a cigarette. The electronic cigarette is really more than a cigarette. The E-Cigarette is really the healthier, future way of smoking. This high-tech electronic smoking device provides nicotine in a non harmful manner! Non-harmful to yourself and to others around you!

Personal Success Story: Helen M. from New Jersey said "My doc said last year that if I didn't cut back on my cigarettes I likely won't make it much past 67. My oldest grandson is graduating in 2 years and I now feel certain that I will be around for his special day because I feel so much healthier and have even been able to build up to walking up to 1 1/2 miles every other day. My goal is to be entirely smoke free and to live long enough to see all 9 of my grandkids graduated. I'm determined to do it! I will keep using your electronic cigarette as a healthier choice until I am able to quit for good." You can read more success stories Here .

How Do Electronic Cigarettes Work?
Electronic cigarettes work by utilizing state of the art sophisticated micro-electronic technology to provide users a real smoking experience without the fire, flame, tobacco, tar, carbon monoxide, ash, stub, smell or other toxins found in real cigarettes.

The electronic cigarette has been around since 2002 and recent advances in the technology used by the manufacturers have led to some incredibly neat and effective smoking replacements. The modern day E-Cigarette looks like a cigarette, feels like a cigarette, releases "smoke" like a real cigarette, however, what these new millennium cigarettes don't have is all of the chemicals, toxins and carcinogenics found in real cigarettes.

Electronic cigarettes are a non-flammable cigarette substitute that uses micro-electronic technology, which provides smokers a real "smoking" experience without the fire, flame, tobacco, tar, carbon monoxide, ash, stub or smell found in real cigarettes. They even allow you to inhale and exhale a real smoke "vapor" that replicates real cigarette smoke.

"E-Cigarette smokers still get their nicotine," explains Elicko, a serial entrepreneur and VaporPak Founder & CEO, "without having to suffer many of the other negative side effects of tobacco smoking. There are absolutely no carcinogenic substances and no tar. Ordinary cigarettes contain some 4,000 different chemical substances. They pollute the air, and they are hazardous to the health of others - including small children - who breathe the dangerous secondhand smoke. We are looking to supply VaporPak E-Cigarette to a numerous of leading casinos and clubs, and open E-Cigarette stores in majors malls around the country.

Since E-Cigarette does not burn tobacco or ash like a traditional cigarette, it is not restricted by USA smoking laws and is completely legal to use indoors i.e. restaurants, bars, etc. There are no longer needs for lighters and you don't have any messy leftovers to dispose of! The E-Cigarette is so much more than economical, you enjoy the traditional sensation of smoking, but avoid all of the other adverse side effects!.

The new E-Cigarette works by utilizing a very small in line vaporizer that turns the liquid inside the cigarette into an atomized smoke mist. They are fully re-chargeable and each E-Cigarette can last a full day on one single charge. They make a variety of flavors that contain a either no nicotine or a high levels of nicotine, depending upon what your intended use is.
