Eat For The Glow!


When I began modeling as a young lady, I learned a lot about being healthy. The mother agency who worked hard to manage and groom their models...looked after us and made sure we were up to par on physical fitness and looks....as to book jobs. They were adamant about this "Miracle" eating regimen that gave good skin and a great physique. I was young, with naturally dewy skin and a fast metabolism, so I didn't quite believe the hype. UNTIL that is... I saw the most shocking transformation ever. One of the newer models they had brought on, was slightly over weight...for agency standards...but most importantly, had noticeably bad skin. I remember questioning the agency's  purpose, because she just didn't look like the models I'd seen running around the agency. In any case... she was put on the same supposed "Miracle Diet" and the grooming began. It hadn't been 3 weeks when I saw her again, and I was ASTOUNDED by the biggest metamorphosis on any human I'd ever seen. And I am not talking about her weight either...yes she got thin.....but her skin had miraculously transformed from this, bumpy inflamed surface, to skin so perfect....that she looked like a porcelain doll. 
Well this supposed "Miracle"diet is pretty simple, and it is what I preach to my clients and on this blog. People ask me every day... how I look so young for my age. When I was 30 I looked 20, and now that I'm 40... I look 30! I'm here to tell you it's not genes and it's not rocket science. Eat a diet high in antioxidants, good fats, greens, and lean protein.....low in bad carbs, sugar and salt....and you'll be flaunting that dewy luminous skin that the super models rock. A great physique and healthy mind are all an added bonus. Check for updates on how to make the transition from the diet you know now, to the diet celebrities and super models use and love.

Retinoids....Oh How I Love Thee!


I get bathetic when I talk about this genius invention. These Vitamin A derivatives are the only topical treatment actually proven to regenerate collagen. Retinoids control crucial cellular processes, and suppress inflammation (my favorite topic). Decades of Clinical Research show that they speed up cell turnover to smooth wrinkles, fade sunspots, improve texture, reduce blackheads and minimize pores. Ranella Hirsch from the American Society of Dermatologic Surgeons claims there is profound data to show that "if you use it for 20 years your'e going to look a whole lot better than someone who doesn't."

Albert Kligman, a dermatologist at the University of Pennsylvania discovered Retin-A for the treatment of acne in 1969. By the mid 1980's the patients he was treating for acne reported they're wrinkles diminishing. He then began studying Retin-A's anti-aging effects. "Since the span beginning of history we've been interested in curing wrinkles, and there have been a million concoctions to reduce them, but for the first time we had evidence that something really worked."
In recent years, Retin-A has been joined by Renova, which also has tretinoin as it's active ingredient but comes in a more moisturizing form. The future of the retinoid family looks promising. "We are constantly learning more about how amazing this stuff is!" says Leslie Bauman, director of the University of Miami Division of  Cosmetic Dermatology. 
Case in point…even retinol, the over the counter vitamin-A derivitive, improves wrinkles, roughness, and overall skin aging. 
Check out Allures recommendation on some great over the counter choices. 



WHAT SETS IT APART:Compared with other L'Oréal Paris products, it has more retinol (the company would not disclose the exact levels), plus SPF 20.

THE DOCTOR SAYS:"Especially noteworthy is the inclusion of an SPF in this retinol-treatment product," says dermatologist Ranella Hirsch. "And at $24.99, it's a good bang for your buck."

WHAT SETS IT APART:
RoC's time-released formula slows absorption of retinol into the skin, limiting redness and dehydration.

THE DOCTOR SAYS:
"Their studies report that 96 percent of women with previous sensitivity to retinoids experienced no redness or irritation," says Hirsch. "That is like catnip to a dermatologist." $22.99

WHAT SETS IT APART:
With a high concentration of retinol (1 percent), this formula delivers the punch of its prescription-only counterparts. The vitamin-A delivery system minimizes the odds of irritation—a boon for those with sensitive skin. It gradually helps skin look more radiant and refreshed.

THE DOCTOR SAYS:
"This is similar to tretinoin, which is available only from a doctor," says Day. "It gets results comparable to a prescription product." 

WHAT SETS IT APART:
Lipo-hydroxy acid (LHA) exfoliates so the retinol can penetrate more easily.

THE DOCTOR SAYS:
"The LHA creates less of a barrier, so the skin can soak up more retinol without added irritation. Plus, it's paraben-free for those with allergies," says dermatologist Doris Day. $55.95





A List Of Proteins That Give Good Skin!


Protein comes primarily from animal sources but are also found in some vegetables. However those vegetable proteins aren't usually complete...meaning they don't have all the necessary essential amino acids needed by your body, to build and repair cells. Without adequate high quality protein...the cells are unable to repair themselves properly which causes rapid aging of skin. The worst thing we can do as women who are battling age is poor protein intake. There is nothing that will age you faster.... besides baking in the sun. Most women are not aware of this and more often than not, opt for a low protein, high carb diet. Women tend to have lower serotonin levels than men do, which is the reason we tend to select foods that will raise them...Good Ole Carbs.  Here are some of the proteins that will give you maximum health and appearance.
My favorite protein....Fish! I tend to go for the fattiest of the fish choices because they are the best at giving good skin. Cod, Salmon, Tuna, Snapper, Halibut, Haddock.
Next are meat and poultry! My first choices are the obvious skinless chicken and turkey. I will go for the occasional lean beef, pork, or lean ham.
If you're Vegan go for Soy Products!
Other sources of good protein......Low fat milk, low fat cottage cheese, Yogurt,  Egg Whites.

The Toxic Hormone!


There is no wonder why hormones are among the most vital chemical in the body. In childhood, they play a role in getting us past the short stage. In our teen years, they are the driving force behind puberty. And in a woman's older years, it can literally, redefine your existence. No matter what ageif hormones get out of whack.all hell can break lose! Hormones are what regulate our metabolism and can determine how fast we age. So there is a crucial interest in keeping those hormones under control and balanced.
Since hormones play such an important role in how we look and feel, we need to avoid anything that could disrupt that balance. Especially as we get the older....because those hormone levels begin to decline. Sex hormones, growth hormones, and even the hormones that affect our metabolism begin to rapidly decrease.  
There is one hormone, however that increases with age. Cortisolit enables our internal systems to maintain stability and balance during acute forms of stress. When it is needed the body produces it in quantities necessary to combat that stress. However a big problem arises when Cortisol is present for long periods of time in high quantities. In fact it can be toxic! When present at high levels it cause brain cells to die. An abundant amount of Cortisol in our system can destroy the immune system, cause sagging skin, decrease muscle mass, and shrink your brain and other vital organs. In fact in the anti aging community Cortisol it is associated with old age and disease. When cortisol levels increase so does your blood sugar, which cause inflammation. All of this is then the result of rapid aging and increases fat storage as well.
The way we live is of course is necessary to eliminating this problem. What you eat, how you eat, when you eat, and other lifestyle elements such as sleep, stress, and exercise are the key to keeping you and your body balanced.

Get Your Energy Groove On! Quick tips to fight low energy..

There are many factors that can cause a sluggish mood. Understanding the connection between your health and energy production is the key to fighting low energy. Wether it is stress, or a poor diet causing you to be lethargic... here are some quick tips that can help.

BREAKFAST- First and foremost is to start your day with a hearty healthy breakfast. And by that I don't mean fast food....opting for that choice is coma-inducing! Go for a well rounded breakfast that will provide that raw fuel needed to power up your day. Healthy carbs such as Oatmeal with walnuts is one of my favorite choices because of the long lasting energy it delivers. The healthy carb gives you brain fuel and high protein keeps you satisfied until lunch time.
EXERCISE- Take a brisk walk or get on a treadmill....any type of activity will do. Research shows that exercise stimulates brain chemicals that leave you feeling blissful and more relaxed. And the big bonus here..... it controls weight and fights disease!
Score Some Vitamin BBBBs- Studies have shown that the Vitamin B12 and Vitamn B9(folate) are crucial to a balanced brain chemistry and mood. Make sure you get them daily by reaching for foods rich with these vitamins. Foods rich in Vitamin B12 include salmon, whole grains, cottage cheese, lean beef, milk eggs and yogurt. High folate foods include oatmeal, leafy greens, beets broccoli, oranges and whole grain cereals.
GET YOUR SLEEP!- Depriving yourself of the right amount of sleep can lead to many more problems than just low energy. Research show that lack of sleep can lead to serious health problems so get a full nights rest. Try to get in sync with your body's natural sleep cycle by going to bed at the same time every night and by waking up at the same time every morning. Getting a good nights sleep is the best thing you can do for your overall health and well being.

The Simple Formula for Weight Loss and Good Skin

Everyone wants to be thin and slim. However the choices we make with our food on a daily basis, make it practically impossible to be so.
Most of Americans are barraged with all of the wrong food choices and are not aware of the dangers of these beautifully packaged foods. Refined sugars and starches and dangerous trans fats, high-fructose corn syrup…the list goes on and on….and it is a long one. Unfortunately, there isn't an instant reaction to these foods that lets us know they are not healthy choices.....until it is too late. 
The problem with these types of foods is that they boost the storage of fat and inflamation of the body. Most people are not aware that having beautiful skin and being thin is actually very simple if you follow a simple formula. And it doesn't involve starving yourself. It does however invovle changing your bad habits.
An anti-inflammatory diet can be both a powerful way to fight the signs of aging, and most importantly fight disease. It will lead to rapid weight loss, all while maintaining muscle mass and notably awarding you with radiant wrinkle-free skin. 
Here you go:
Always eat your protein first. Preferably a protein high in Omega-3's and Omega-6 fatty acids. The incredible anti-inflammatory power of Omega-3 essential fatty acids found in the high fish and in fish oil will reduce inflammation in all organ systems, stimulate the loss of body fat, stabilize blood sugar levels and lower insulin. Eating your proteins first will slow down the absorption of the simple carbs that follow. Save the fruit for last to prevent the natural sugars from causing a spike in blood sugar. 
Remember the goal is to prevent a spike in blood sugar which triggers insulin release. Insulin release causes inflammation of the body. Inflammation causes wrinkles, fat absorption, and disease. 
If it seems complicated... try to remember this simple fact:
Insulin release= fat storage and inflammation
Stay tuned for a list of foods that are anti-inflammatory and a list of them that are not!

Apple Cider Vinegar...a cure all?

As a little girl I remember grams telling us that drinking apple cider everyday would help us live to be 120. And although that didn't seem so appealing, we did as she told. At that time  I believed grams folklore ideas were silly.....the older I got the more I believed she was on to something.
Heres why.....
I tend to stay away from prescription drugs, so I've had to try all those supposed natural remedies for ailments. I can honestly say that Raw organic, unfiltered apple cider vinegar is my Cure all...it really is amazing like grams always said. The only vinegar that can and should be consumed daily, is made from fermented, crushed apples that have not been treated with toxic pesticides, making it one of nature’s purest and most potent remedies.
I have used it for all things ranging from sinus infections and sore throats to mosquito bites, and rinsing my hair for shine. It has many household uses as well. It can kill weeds and clean coffeepots. I can list many reasons for keeping apple cider vinegar on hand. Pharmacological studies tell us it also works well to lower high cholesterol and high blood pressure. It slows the growth rate of cancer cells, and can help with diabetes. It helps those who are trying for weight loss. Helps clear hives when taken orally and applied topically. Promotes digestion. It Is high in minerals and potassium which is good for skin. Encourages the growth of healthy bacteria within your body. Can help ease menstrual cramps. Need I say more?
I have been singing the benefits of vinegar for about 3 years now..... I really encourage everyone to drink at least 2-4 tablespoonsmixed with water daily! You can also add a tablespoon of organic honey or stevia if it tastes too bitter for you.
Grams is turning over in her grave trying to say "I told you so!"
