Did You Know...
Did you know that the Center for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 30% of Americans use DEET-based insect repellent every year. That would mean approximately 23% of children are exposed to DEET. There are hundreds of products on the market containing DEET, including many well-known insect repellents. DEET is registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as a pesticide. Do your homework and follow this link, PAN Pesticide Database. Check the toxicity and side effects of products containing DEET. According to Dr. Abou-Donia, who has studied pesticides and their impact on the public for 30 years—NEVER use DEET on infants or combine with other insecticides, sunscreens, or over the counter antihistamines. Read about the research and the neurological implications in the use of DEET. You might be surprised. Beyond Pesticides Try this all natural bug repellent safe for kids and pets, Dr. Mercola BUG OFF Spray.
Did you know that less than 25% of how long a person lives is actually determined by their genes? The other 75% of factors relating to longevity and happiness relates to factors outside your genes. If you want to be healthy, ask someone that is healthy. If you want to be wealthy, ask someone who is successful with money. So logically, if you want to know what it takes to live to be a 100 years old and be happy, then look at the pockets of centenarians throughout the world. These pockets of centenarians are called Blue Zones. Researchers have studied five Blue Zones. Common threads in lifestyles exist among the five areas studied. What can you learn? Plenty! Learn what you may need to change in your lifestyle to live a longer and happier life. Read Thrive: Finding Happiness the Blue Zones Way. Hint: Family & social connections is one common thread.
Did you know that the antioxidant value in foods and supplements can actually be measured? This is an ORAC unit (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) developed by scientists at the National Institute of Health. It is believed that foods higher in ORAC value may fight age-related diseases and degeneration. ORACvalues.com
Did you know there may be a reason why it is so hard for people with extreme obesity to stay away from junk food? Research suggests that our brains may respond to junk food the same way we respond to drugs. If so, that's some pretty strong implications! Read about the study here, Junk Food as Addictive as Heroin and Smoking.

HERE'S SOME Natural & Easy BEAUTY TIPS I'VE USED:
Surgical tape cut into a thin strip carefully placed over a facial wrinkle overnight helps smooth out the appearance of the wrinkle in the morning. The smooth appearance is only temporary.
Try Biotin for skin, hair, and nails. I thought I was going bald once! Not so!.....read my story on the next page in Healthy Benefits.
Less Facial Wrinkles - sleep on your back. For a change put some pillows under your feet and slightly elevate your feet while sleeping.
Reduce appearance of facial pores and increase the tone of your face - take some egg white and cover your face. Let it dry until you feel your face tugging. Rinse with warm water. You'll love it!
Soften and moisturize dry brittle hair - mix mayonnaise and olive oil. Work this through your hair and let it set in 10 or 15 minutes. Obviously, wash this out with shampoo. You'll love the feel of your hair. My daughter used this on a severe bleaching of her hair. It saved her hair!
