  • Best in Superfoods You’ve seen claims for “superfoods.” Loads of them. Dieticians are now touting the “amazing health benefits” of popcorn—ultrahigh in fiber…peanut butter—because nuts help reduce inflammation and cut the risk of heart attack…baked beans—packed with fiber…and—wait for it!

  • Difference Between Organic and Certified Organic I’m often asked: To what extent are the ingredients of your skin and hair care lines organic? Some ask whether my products are “certified organic.” What is the difference between organic and certified organic? For those following the raw food diet, you should also be concerned about the composition of your cosmetics, so it is important [...]

  • Raw Food Diet for Children Kelli Haines Review of Creating Healthy Children I made the mistake of putting off reading this book because my children are all grown and on their own. What could possibly hold any interest for me in a book about raising healthy children? If I’m going to take the time to read an entire book, I like [...]

Tempering the body with cold water, indoors or out, is an ancient practice for health, stamina and longevity.

  • Feeling Cold on the Raw Food Diet Quite possibly the only serious drawback I’ve noticed to a 100% raw food diet is the tendency to feel cold, especially during the first year. If we look around in nature, we see humans are the only creatures using houses with insulation and further protect ourselves from variations [...]

  • Gallbladders and the Raw Food Diet Medical professionals believe that gallstones form when bile contains too much cholesterol, or not enough bile salts, or when the gallbladder does not empty completely or frequently enough. Bottom-line, there is an imbalance within the body’s chemistry, and it has been shown that cholesterol is present in almost 75% of the stones examined.

  • Dry Skin Remedies It was downright unnerving! Out of the blue, the skin on the tips of my right hand became dry, red, wrinkled and scaling. The condition faded over the next few days, but came back with a vengeance, especially on my right thumb. I’d apply some moisturizer on my fingers, only to discover they need more [...]

Specifically, they mean the area around the eyes, one of the first places the telltale signs of aging will show on a woman’s face. The surprising truth, however, is that crows’ feet and [...]

  • That Puffy Face: Causes and Solutions Mornings, for some, are a discouraging part of the day. Waking up can be hard enough…and then you look in the mirror. “Whoa!” you say. “What happened?” You can try a cold washcloth, as I have. But it only goes so far to bring down the puffiness in your face.

  • Solutions to Aging Neck Nothing gives away your age like your neck. The neck region, or décolleté, often gets neglected. In younger years, its skin tone and musculature are more in-sync with the face, lending a youthful, graceful look. After 40, an almost imperceptible decline leads to fat deposits under the chin, weakened muscles and loose skin. And you [...]

  • Probiotic Supplements: Pros and Cons In our modern, hygienic, germophobic society, we forget that we share an amazing symbiotic relationship with an invisible world. Microbes exist within, without and all around you. Without them, your visible world (not to mention your good health) could not exist. The “invisible world” I’m talking about consists entirely of microorganisms or, as they’re more [...]
