Women today as young as in their 20’s, and all the way through their 70’s are turning to expensive potions and procedures in order to “slow the clock” on their appearance. But many of these treatments can be toxic, and do nothing for your body on the cellular level. The best anti-aging regime begins within the body and starts with a nutrient dense diet. But another critical component that is often overlooked in the quest for a healthy and youthful appearance is strength training. Strength training is one of the most powerful and important things you can do to help slow aging from within.

You often hear those of us who promote a high raw, or raw diet, talk about the “glow”, referring to beautiful glowing skin. And, I believe that to be true. There is nothing quite like the abundance of fresh, live, hydrating plant foods to help bring out your beautiful glowing self! But like most things in life, not every method has the same exact results for every single person. For some people, the opposite happens. No one likes to talk about it because, how can that be? And as a result some people suffer for a long time before seeking help because they keep hearing “it’s detox”. But in private practice with my clients, I know that is not always the case.

Do you have Acne Scars? Surgical Scars? Wrinkles? Both Rose Essential Oil, and Rosa Mosqueta Oil Can Help You. They are both incredibly healing to the skin. One is EXTREMELY expensive, one is very economical. For pure rose otto oil, you must be willing to part with about $200 for a tiny 5ml bottle, the pure organic stuff doesn’t come much cheaper than that. I buy mine from a small organic distillery in the south of France. The reason this is so pricey is because it takes 10,000 lbs of rose petals to distill one pound of oil. YES 10,000 POUNDS per pound of distilled oil.

The beauty, shine, thickness, and overall health of our hair is greatly affected by a variety of factors. Most of us know that excellent nutrition is the foundation for healthy hair. But there are many other issues that can cause thinning, dry, or brittle hair. For example Exposure to black mold, Candida, Parasites, Vitamin Deficiency, Mineral Imbalance, Female issues such as PCOS, Thyroid issues, Excess Stress, Low Iron, etc.

Every time I see yet another website promoting oil-pulling as a detoxifier, I sigh with amazement at how hoodwinked people can be by misinformation. Oil-pulling, or “kavala graha” is touted as the ultimate “detoxifier”. In the past year I’ve seen articles on oil pulling promoted on many FB pages and websites as a cure for many diseases, and with the ability to pull toxins from the body, cure cancer and help people live to be 140 years old. It has even been described as “miraculous” and “magical”.

Natural aloe vera gel has some incredible potential health benefits. In a study done in the UK, researchers gave people with active ulcerative colitis, (inflammatory bowel disease), aloe vera gel to drink (raw gel, not processed commercial juice). After four weeks of drinking aloe vera gel in water twice per day, there was improvement and even remission in some people of ulcerative colitis, compared to those given plain water.

Many people are becoming more conscious of the food they put in their bodies. But what we put ON our bodies is equally important. I know many women who eat incredibly clean and healthy yet continue to use beauty products that are loaded with ingredients that mimic estrogen and are linked to cancer. There are so many ingredients that have the potential to cause harm, but some of the worst offenders are the BHA and BHT commonly found in lipsticks and moisturizers.
