8 Foods That Are Good For Your Skin
SPECIAL FROM Grandparents.com
There's an endless supply of new skin care products hitting drugstores and specialty stores every day, but that doesn't mean you necessarily need them. Shopping for skin care can be both expensive and time consuming. And there's nothing more frustrating than bringing home a pricey cream only to discover that it doesn't even work.
The next time you have a dry patch or irritation, forget going to the store. Instead, head straight for your own fridge or pantry. Odds are you already own some fantastic skin care ingredients—you may have even had them for breakfast.

Carrot Beer Debuts In Australia. Yes, Carrot Beer.
Even in the wildly innovative world of craft beer today, it's still possible to invent something new.
Case in point: The new Wabbit Season beer from 4Hearts Brewing Company in Ipswich, Australia. It's made from a wort that was 16 percent carrot juice.
The Australian Broadcasting Company reports that the brewery collaborated with local farmer Richard Gorman to develop the beer; he contributed all the carrots used to make it. The brew looks almost as orange as a cup of Fanta and apparently tastes strongly of carrots. The brewery has so far released 1,200 liters of the stuff, but to date it's available only at bars in nor...

There are other colours than black!!!!! – Lorraine ’ s story
I’m a 52 year old wife, mum and nanny and feel I’ve been only half the person I could be. My problems started after my last daughter was born, they diagnosed fibroids 5, 6mm ones…ok so what do we do? My consultant said nothing as I was 35 and usually they start to get smaller after the age of 40. I was told to try the mirena coil, as this could help.
Made the appointment to have it done and for the next 7 years (although it should of only been 5) my bleeding was little to none….Yippee.
Within this time we moved to Spain and started our new life, new jobs etc……life was great until I had t...

All Men Should Avoid This Diet…
Most doctors will tell you to avoid unhealthy crash diets. It’s not rocket science.
Desperate weight-loss tactics, such as skipping meals, extreme low-calorie diets or taking strenuous exercise with little fuel in your body, are perhaps the most useless ways of trying to get back into shape.
That’s because if you repeatedly gain and lose weight you will end up with a slower metabolism, which makes it easier for your body to gain weight and harder to lose it in the future.
I see many victims of crash dieting in my wellness clinic – and in a minute I’m going to reveal a great Italian secret to losing weig...

Appetite for apples? How fruit sugars may not suppress hunger
ConclusionCan we conclude from this evidence that fruit makes you hungry, as the Mail Online suggested? No.This small double-blind RCT showed that young adults who consumed a fructose-sweetened drink had more brain activity in attention and reward centres in response to pictures of food, compared with the same drink sweetened with glucose. There were signs this also affected food-seeking behaviour in a somewhat artificial laboratory test.The research team took this to mean that the volunteers might be more likely to seek out food and eat more in a real-life scenario. But the study didn't test this directly, so it remains ...

Weight Watchers Founder Jean Nidetch Dies At Age 91
PARKLAND, Fla. (AP) — A half-century after dropping 70 pounds and keeping them off, Weight Watchers founder Jean Nidetch made some allowances: Cokes in her fridge, Klondikes in her freezer, the occasional potato or extra piece of bread on her plate. But she never again touched the chocolate marshmallow cookies she called her ultimate weakness, the treat she'd stash in the hamper and eat by the boxful in the middle of the night, all the while praying she'd choke on her next bite.
"Why would I want to see that movie again?" she asked. Weight-loss royalty to the end, Nidetch died Wednesday at 91, her son David said. Her br...

This Herb’s A Brain Booster
I was hiking in the Amazon Rainforest a few years ago when I was first introduced to a safe and natural super-stimulant that I’ve been recommending to my patients ever since.
“This is better than coffee,” a number of my patient s have told me.
I usually smile at this point, because the substance I’m talking about is the extract of an Amazonian, caffeine-loaded berry. But they’re right. It really is better than coffee.
The substance is guarana, an aphrodisiac, medicinal, appetite suppressant and energy-giving plant named for the Guarani tribe.
Legend has it that the first bush sprang up on a b...

No “best” treatment for common uterine fibroids
The other night, I sat in a restaurant with a group of girlfriends. We shared laughter, good conversation and some great wine. As I looked around, I realized that we were likely to share something else: uterine fibroids. Of the ten women sitting at the table, there was a good chance that seven of us would have uterine fibroids at some point in our lives.
Fibroids are noncancerous tumors that grow in the uterus. They may be smaller than a seed or bigger than a grapefruit. A woman may have only one fibroid or she may have many. Depending on their size, number, and location, fibroids can cause heavy bleeding and long menstrua...
