"P" is for Prevention

 

My favorite health magazine! I just renewed after a lapse and will be posting tips from it bi-monthly.


Prevention, May 2011
Momma Sheryl Crow is featured - Can you believe she's 49!!
She looks awesome!

Selected Health & Beauty Tips:

• colorful lips are more attractive (I never used to wear lipstick, now I do, sometimes).
• naturally whiten your teeth with - an apple!
• after soaking up too much sun at the ballpark, drench a thin cloth in milk and lay it on your face for 5 minutes - to reduce redness and calm irritation! (whodathunk!)
• want that candlelight glow all day? dust shimmery powder just under your brows.
• lose something? don't get mad, get glad - apparently when you're amused you think clearer.
• eat more tomatoes, carrots and peaches for a healthy, attractive glow from the beta-carotene (just not too much, don't want to look like an oompa loompa)
• the riper the banana, the more sugar and less healthy it gets
• eat more berries! and tuna! (not necessarily together)

The same standard 3 rules for losing weight that are repeated in one form or another every month:

1. drink more water, eat more fruits and veggies and less junk (1600 cal/day and every 4-5 hrs)
2. exercise (cardio & strength training - alternating every other day)
3. get more rest

Beginning of May I will put up some recipes and a Friendship Quiz - how productive are your friends for you?
