When the good folks at ResVitále offered to send me a sample of their Resveratrol supplement I jumped on the opportunity. After all, I was very familiar with the benefits of antioxidants and how they helped all of our cells cheat aging to some extent. I had watched a 60 Minutes segment about Resveratrol that had me convinced there was something to this idea that the skin of grapes had special ingredients that made it a powerful antioxidant that would be great for us.

After completing my 30-day bottle of supplements I can honestly say that I must have missed the “Youth Fountain”…, and that darn mirror continues to display the same face when I look into it. But, as with any antioxidant the rewards don’t come quickly. Aging, thank goodness, comes along slowly. So does the fight to slow it down. Quality antioxidants really are helpful in slowing the aging process down and I encourage you to do your own research.

The reason I’m particularly excited about Resveratrol is that it is extremely potent and equivalent to far more glasses of red wine than I can consume. Like you, I am skeptical of miracles (i.e. “Fountains of Youth”), but having been familiar with nutrition for many years now I do believe firmly in supplementing your diet with quality vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The key is the quality of the supplements as the cheaper ones are not absorbed into your system and ultimately become what nurses call “bedpan bullets”.

The article below offers more information to help you decide whether or not to swap some of that fast food budget out for some high octane antioxidants instead.

Resveratrol: A Fountain of Youth for Exhausted Moms – By Joseph Maroon, M.D.

Life can be demanding. Trying to balance work, home and a social life is a challenge when you simply don’t have the energy. Fatigue can make it difficult to get through a stressful day and many busy moms make lifestyle and diet changes to cope.
The latest research shows that certain food supplements containing concentrated plant polyphenols, the beneficial organic molecules found in red wine grapes, may also provide these benefits. These supplements have been shown to activate ‘longevity or survival genes,’ thereby enhancing your energy and endurance.
Research done at Harvard Medical School and around the world confirms that resveratrol is the most powerful of these gene-activating plant polyphenols. Many people taking organic resveratrol supplements have seen results of increased stamina and energy.
How Aging Affects Your Body
As you age, the cells in your body grow slower and tend to regenerate at slower rates. Cellular activity is responsible for every function in the body, including skin tissue. As we age, cellular healing, skin cell turnover and the development of new skin tissues can be just a fraction of what it was in your youth. Other cells such as brain cells, may even stop regenerating and repairing themselves causing many people as they age to become easily fatigued, experience lower mood levels, or find it hard to keep up with daily activities.
Fluctuating or depleted hormone levels due to decreased cellular activity can sometimes lead to excessive stress and an overall poor state of health. If you are not eating healthy, exercising regularly, and not taking the nutritional supplements, vitamins and minerals suggested, you are probably already exhibiting the signs of premature aging.
Resveratrol may have the ability to “stop the clock” on poor aging by enhancing your energy levels, as seen in many research studies.

What is Resveratrol?
Resveratrol is a natural, plant-based supplement that scientific studies have shown can actually slow the aging process and prolong life in every testing thus far.
Resveratrol is a plant polyphenol molecule organically extracted from the skin, seeds, stem and vine of red wine grape. Polyphenols are natural antioxidants that can protect cells from free radical damage. Free radical damage is the root cause of much of the cellular deterioration seen with aging. Polyphenol compounds are also found in pine trees, peanuts, dark chocolate and cocoa, and have been used for many years in Asian cultures for treating heart and liver problems due to their antioxidant properties.
Scientists discovered resveratrol after investigating the impact of the typical French diet. Researchers have been looking at the relationship between the amounts of red wine that people in France regularly consume and the lower incidence of heart disease compared to other countries that did not drink as much red wine. Red wine has long been lauded for its antioxidant properties and heart benefits. Resveratrol research now strongly links this polyphenol’s action to many of the heart benefits found with red wine. Other research has shown improved cellular function and division, and improvement of central nervous system functioning.
The goal of anti-aging resveratrol supplements is to provide concentrated amounts of resveratrol in its most active form – known as trans-resveratrol. Trans-resveratrol is a very sensitive polyphenol molecule and will only remain active when it is sheltered from oxygen and sunlight. Trans-resveratrol in its purest form offers the most benefits. Only a few nutritional supplement companies are able to source this form of resveratrol and preserve it in this active form for human consumption.
How the Supplement Works
Resveratrol activates the ‘longevity gene,’ otherwise known as the survival gene, and these genes have been shown to enhance energy and endurance along with many other health preserving actions. Resveratrol is also a powerful antioxidant that can help to protect cells from the aging process. Other research has shown resveratrol can improve cellular metabolism, functioning and cellular rejuvenation and is a key player in maintaining youth.
Benefits of Resveratrol as seen in over 100 studies:
• Increases energy and endurance
• Provides strong antioxidant protection
• Improves central nervous system functioning
• Protects against over active immune and inflammatory response
• Reduces the risk of neurodegenerative diseases
• Plays a role in cancer protection
• Strengthens the immune system

Are Resveratrol Supplements Safe?
Studies thus far have not shown any adverse effects using standard treatment doses. While human studies of resveratrol are minimal, no significant side effects have been reported to date. In my book, The Longevity Factor: How Resveratrol and Red Wine can Activate Genes for a Longer and Healthier Life, I discuss the science of genetic activation and the anti-aging capabilities of certain foods and supplements containing trans-resveratrol.
Research surrounding the effects of resveratrol on pregnancy is non-existent. Resveratrol, like soy and red clover supplements, can affect estrogen levels in women, and these changes may have a negative effect on the fetus. Therefore, we do not recommend taking resveratrol supplements while pregnant.
Scientific Studies on Resveratrol
Scientific studies have been conducted to analyze resveratrol’s health benefits. Many have concluded that resveratrol can function to protect the nervous system and improve cellular metabolism.
Scientists at the Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis reported that resveratrol has protective effects on the nervous system. It has also been linked to providing protection from brain damage, and it is currently being evaluated for its effects on patients with Alzheimer’s disease¹.
As aging occurs, dividing cells lose the ability to carry over adequate amounts of DNA to the new cells that are formed. This causes the new cells to function poorly and die prematurely. Harvard researchers recently published results of a study in the journal Cell indicating that resveratrol activates a protein called stabilizing proteins that are actively involved in the gene (DNA) repair process. By repairing breaks in the chromosomes, the effects of chromosomal damage due to aging are reduced².
Other studies have shown that resveratrol plays a significant role in increasing animal lifespan and may also play a role in cancer protection. Resveratrol’s ability to stimulate the longevity gene is believed to be the key factor in anti-aging, and has the ability to help many.
Why Choose Organic Resveratrol Supplements?
Taking organic resveratrol supplements offers both health and environmental benefits.
Consuming organically grown foods and organic supplements can be a safer way to improve and protect your overall health, because organic products have been produced without the use of toxic chemicals and pesticides. Organic compounds are often more easily absorbed and processed in the body.
Organic resveratrol supplements use plant sources that may offer a wealth of health benefits without also adding to the chemical toxins we consume daily in our foods and environment. For this reason, whenever possible I recommend organic foods and supplements.

Dangers of Microwaving Water

A 26-year old man decided to have a cup of coffee. Like he had done many times before he took a cup of water and put it in the microwave to heat it up. I am not sure how long he set the timer for, but he wanted to bring the water to a boil.

When the timer shut the oven off, he removed the cup from the oven. As he looked into the cup, he noted that the! Water was not boiling, but suddenly the water in the cup ‘blew up’ into his face. The cup remained intact until he threw it out of his hand, but all the water had flown out into his face due to the buildup of energy.

His whole face is blistered and he has 1st and 2nd degree burns to his face which may leave scarring. He also may have lost partial sight in his left eye. While at the hospital, the doctor who was attending to him stated that this is a fairly common occurrence and water (alone) should never be heated in a microwave oven. If water is heated in this manner, something should be placed in the cup to diffuse the energy such as a wooden stir stick, tea bag, etc.., (nothing metal).

Response from General Electric:

Thanks for contacting us, I will be happy to assist you. The e-mail that you received is correct. Microwaved water and other liquids do not always bubble when they reach the boiling point. They can actually get superheated and not bubble at all. The superheated liquid will bubble up out of the cup when it is moved or when something like a spoon or tea bag is put into it.

To prevent this from happening and causing injury, do not heat any liquid for more than two minutes per cup. After heating, let the cup stand in the microwave for thirty seconds! Before moving it or adding anything into it.

Here is what our local science teacher had to say on the matter: ‘Thanks for the microwave warning. I have seen this happen before. It is caused by a phenomenon known as super heating. It can occur anytime water is heated and will particularly occur if the vessel that the water is heated in is new, or when heating a small amount of water (less than half a cup).

What happens is that the water heats faster than the vapor bubbles can form. If the cup is very new then it is unlikely to have small surface scratches inside it that provide a place for the bubbles to form. As the bubbles cannot form and release some of the heat has built up, the liquid does not boil, and the liquid continues to heat up well past its boiling point.

What then usually happens is that the liquid is bumped or jarred, which is just enough of a shock to cause the bubbles to rapidly form and expel the hot liquid. The rapid formation of bubbles is also why a carbonated beverage spews when opened after having been shaken.’

Green Parenting Tips

I’ve noticed that the topic in everyone’s conversations these days (aside from employment and the economy), is going green. It’s all over – TV, newspapers, magazines – you name it and it probably has something about going green. Don’t get me wrong, I think it’s great. I do think it is important to care for the environment, but everything I hear to do to help seems to be on a larger scale. So it got me thinking, what could I do as a parent to help the environment? Well, I discovered some simple green parenting tips to follow, which can help save the environment.

Tip#1 – Rethink the baby wipes

I was on one of my most favorite sites, babycenter.com, and they had an article on steps to take to go green and something caught my eye. They reported that most baby wipes take several hundred years to break down. To be honest, I never really gave much thought to wipes or the footprint they leave on the environment. I read that on average people use about 5,000 wipes per baby, which means there are a lot of wipes in landfills. So as an alternative, I found that there are companies that have created 100% biodegradable wipes. One company I’ve seen in particular is Nature Babycare (www.naty.com), and they offer a variety of biodegradable products including biodegradable wipes.

Tip #2 – Switch to cloth diapers

According to an article from the Mother Nature Network, kids use an average of eight diapers a day until they are potty-trained. So if you take an average age of 2 ½ years to potty train a child then you are looking at approximately 7,300 used diapers and that is just for one child! Just think of all the diapers out there that are in landfills for years (along with the wipes). An alternative to using disposable diapers are today’s version of cloth diapers. I know what you are probably thinking, “cloth diapers, never”, but the thing that makes it different from our parents’ time is the inserts that fit inside the cloth diapers. A company called gDiapers has created a 100% biodegradable insert that is actually safe to flush down the toilet.

Tip #3 – Purchase wood toys instead of plastic

In the book, Green Parenting, it says that plastic and battery operated toys can contain hazardous materials such as phthalates or plastic softeners. This can be dangerous for many reasons, one primarily because it seems that most babies learn by putting things in their mouths, I can personally attest to this, my child is at this stage and puts everything in her mouth. So the answer to this is to purchase wood toys finished with nontoxic paint instead of the plastic ones. They may not be as shiny or as loud (which actually may be a good thing for parents), but they don’t contain the dangerous toxins which is key. The company Wooden Toys carries over 500 wood items that are each crafted with non-toxic paint and 100% child safe design.

Tip #4 – Toy and clothing swaps

As most parents have probably seen, it is amazing the number of toys, activity centers, and clothes. that are recommended for babies to grow and learn. Personally, my daughter’s clothes and equipment seem to outnumber our belongings by at least two to one, and she is only four months old! Not only are these things generally bulky and take up space, but it can also get expensive keeping up with her development. To try to combat this, I‘ve started to see parents exchanging toys and clothing. This can help save a lot of money plus it can save on storage space.

Tip #5 – Make your own baby food or buy organic

In an article on green parenting called “10 Tips for Green Parenting” they say that “in addition to being better for the environment, natural healthy food from the start reduces the later risk of heart disease, allergies, behavioral problems, and many other ailments”. Whether this is completely true or not, it is something to think about. One way to do this is by making your own baby food. This has been a “hot” topic for many of my friends with babies, and I’ve read that it is pretty easy to make yourself. But if you like the idea but would prefer some assistance to make the job easier, then Williams Sonoma has a product called the Beaba Babycook. It is a steamer, blender, warmer and defroster in one small appliance that makes it easy to prepare fresh, healthy meals for a baby (I haven’t tried it out personally but it looks easy). But if making baby food isn’t your thing you can always purchase organic baby food at your local grocery store, which is also healthy and nutritious.

Are you feeling a little toasty this holiday season? Would you love to be one of those people who can stand up at the drop of a hat and offer a clever toast? Do you hold back because you aren’t sure what to say or do you resist the urge because you aren’t sure of the correct protocol?

Few people seem to hold back for fear of committing a faux pas. Nevertheless there are rules regarding toasting and if you want to be the polished professional at the office party or the business dinner, here are a few pointers on the correct way to perform a toast:

The host should always be the one to start the process. Before beginning it is that person’s responsibility to make sure that everyone’s glass is full. After the host has offered a toast, others may follow suit.

Toasts should be short, simple and sincere. The five-page poem that covers the honoree’s entire life up to that point is more appreciated by the one who wrote it rather than those who have to listen to it.

If the group is large, it is not necessary to clink glasses when a toast is made. Instead, just raise your glass and take a sip. If the group is small and you wish to touch glasses, look the other person in the eye when you do.

Use proper toasting etiquette. Sipping is safer than guzzling, especially if the toasting is going to be extensive.

Gentle is better than hearty when it comes to clinking. You don’t want to be remembered as the one who smashed the glass and bathed everyone around you in red wine.

When you are finished, use a concluding phrase like “Here’s to?” or offer a phrase such as “Cheers.”

The recipient of the toast never drinks or raises a glass. Doing so is somewhat like patting yourself on the back. Instead, the person being toasted may rise following the toast and respond with a word of thanks or by offering another toast. There is no need to stand unless the recipient would like to say a few words in return.

Although it is traditional, alcohol is not necessary to perform the toast. Sparkling water, plain water or any other beverage may be used.

Finally if you want to avoid becoming tipsy while toasting, raise the glass to your lips, but don’t drink. No one is watching to see if you are actually swallowing.

There are many occasions where a toast is appropriate including weddings, anniversaries, christenings, birthdays, reunions or for the birth of a child. If you know you will be attending one of these special occasions then you should prepare your toast in advance. Write it down, keep it brief and practice until you feel confident. Be sure to speak slowly and loud enough for all guests to hear. Start by stating the name of the honoree and your relationship to him or her. Offer a witty and memorable toast and you will be a sought after guest for all social occasions.

“No toast except his own should last longer than 60 seconds.”
- Mark Twain

Baby Sign Language is fast becoming a popular way to communicate effectively with little babies. Parents are increasingly recognizing the importance of communicating with their infant children in order to reduce their frustration in conveying their needs to others. The numerous advantages of baby sign language have created a whole new business opportunity for people who can teach this language to parents efficiently.

The best part about teaching baby sign language as a professional is that you do not need any formal qualifications for it. In fact, anyone can teach baby sign language even if they do not have a high school education or a college degree.

If you are a parent who is keen to teach sign language to your own baby or to other little babies as a professional, all you require is a natural interest and love for children and a basic instinct to help them learn a new skill for their own benefit. You will definitely need oodles of patience when dealing with a small baby who has no way to communicate and who is entirely dependent on you for learning. If you are someone whose motherly instincts are strong, you will be able to enjoy the work naturally.

When it comes to imparting the training of sign language to other parents so that they can go ahead and communicate effectively with their little ones, you must possess qualities of a good teacher. First and foremost, you need to sharpen your own skill of sign language, so that you can pass on that skill to others efficiently and successfully.

Secondly, you need to have the quality of patience and perseverance so that you can sustain your enthusiasm with the parents, and settle all their queries and doubts without getting tired or frustrated. Parents are like customers who can be quite demanding at times because they are paying money for your services. So you need to have natural people skills to handle all kinds of customers with finesse and achieve your personal objectives and deliver value to them at the same time.

Thirdly, it is important that you keep yourself updated with the latest information and new developments in the field of sign language for infants. Parents may ask you all kinds of questions and expect relevant answers from you regarding the benefits of sign language and what the latest scientific research has to say about it. Therefore, if you keep yourself thoroughly updated with information, you will be well equipped to answer all their queries satisfactorily.

If you think that you possess all these attributes, you are ready to take up the role of a Sign Language teacher for babies.
