Bring "Health" Back To Your Skin

As we all age, our skin loses the ability to protect itself from the harmful affects of our environment. Our protective layer of skin cannot replace itself as easily or quickly as it did in our youth.

Epionce is a product that can bring 'health' back to your skin. Epionce is clinically proven to reduce the visible signs of aging, cure pre-cancer spots and cures/relieves acne. Two ingredients that accomplish that are: 1) EpiA, which is an anti-inflammatory that effects deep into the skin where it is formed, 2) EpiB, repairs the protective layer that gets damaged as we age.

The anti-inflammatory ingredients separates this product from most anti-aging creams and lotions you see. These ingredients reduces the signs of aging and with continued use, you will see long term affects. These ingredients attacks and corrects inflammatory environmental factors we face and also clears symptoms of such skin issues as: Rosacea,psoriasis and dermatitis.

There are 5 steps to the Epionce system, but if you are like me, we are most concerned with the skin around our eye area. Epionce renewal eye cream is a highly emollient treatment that has wellness properties that reverses signs of already damaged skin or prevents future damage. Do you experience puffiness, dark circles, lines and wrinkles or other skin imperfections? These symptoms can make one look older than we actually are.

As this product works it's magic against any damage, it creates a soft focus (like they use in the movies) and masks the appearance of dark circles or puffiness by using a luminescent polymer that reflects light.

Bring Health back to your skin...and forget about considering alternative measures such as surgery.

Get Healthy With Tangerines

Tangerines store carotenoid beta-cryptoxanthin. That is why they are orange in color. This phytonutrient keeps the body strong by destroying cell damaging free radicals while at the same time, boosting production of the immune systems; defensive white blood cells.

By adding 1 Tbs. of tangerine zest to a recipe can lower levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol by up to 40 percent in just 4 weeks. This is according to research in the Journal of Agriculture and Food Chemistry. The reason this happens is because the peel’s polymethoxlated flavones, inhibit the release of LDL cholesterol’s structural proteins and this causes the cholestral to degenerate.

Tangerines and other citrus fruits are loaded with Vitamin C. Tangerines can help keep stress levels from climbing. The pleasant scent of a tangerine has been proven to soothe the central nervous system, further reducing stress.

A tangerine is one of nature’s richest sources of citrate. This natural salt keeps the formation of kidney stones by interfering with the crystallization of calcium. Citrate also raises the ph level of urine, diluting oxalate, a waste substance that also contributes to kidney-stone formation.

Here’s two recipes you might enjoy:


Szechuan Stir-Fry (makes 6 servings)

From 2 Tangerines, zest and juice one. Peel and section remaining. In a bowl, combine ½ cup juice, 1 tsp. zest and ¼ cup spicy Szechuan stir-fry sauce. Set aside. In greased skillet over medium heat, cook 1 red and 1 green pepper (seeded and cubed), 1 onion cut into wedges for about 3 minutes. Add 1 flank steak thinly sliced. Cook 3 minutes. Add sauce mixture and tangerine sections. Cook 1 minute. Serve with rice.

Sunshine Souffle (makes 4 servings)

From 2 tangerines, zest and juice 1. Peel and section remaining. In cup combine 1/3 cup tangerine juice and enough water to measure ½ cup. Add 1 tsp. zest. In bowl, combine 1 box (3 oz) lemon flavored gelatin and ½ cup boiling water. Stir 2 minutes. Set in ice bath 2 minutes. Using mixer beat for 2 minutes. Fold in container (8oz) frozen whipped topping, thawed and ¼ cup light sour cream. Divide tangerines and cream mixture among four 6 oz cups. Chill 5 minutes

26 Reasons to Drink Acai Berry Juice~Part 3

Conclusion:

18) PROVIDES ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS
The vital part of our diet allows for the transport of nutrients(fuel)in and out of the cell.

19)STABILIZES PROPER CHOLESTEROL LEVELS
Plant steroids help the process of cholestrol regulation

20)HELPS PROSTATE
Plant steroids (phenolic compounds) cleanse and strengthen the prostate.

21)STRENGTHENS THE HEART
Many of these phytoceuticals strengthen the heart muscles, strengthens blood vessel walls and inhibit platelet formation (atherosclerosis) helping prevent edma, strokes and heart failure.

22)FIGHTS CELLULAR MUTATION
The powerful antioxidants (water soluble) enter the cell and float in the liquids, attacking free radicals and other pollutants, including parasitic waste. They protect both the nucleic DNA and the mitochondrial DNA.

23) INHIBITS PLATELET AGGREGATION AND CLOTTING
THe polyphenols in these fruits can inhibit the clotting activity of blood cells. Also, the antioxidant effect of many polyphenols protects lipids from oxidation in the bloodstream, which further reduces risk of clots and plaque buildup.

24) HELPS DIGESTION
Plants carry with them their own enzymes. This helps the body 1) readily make these nutrients available and 2) allows other body enzymes to work elsewhere. Plant nutrients (phenols) are anti-ulcer, anti-acid-reflux and help the whole digestion, absorption, and waste elimination process.

25) STRENGTHENS MEMORY
A long list of diseases are now associated with free radicals, none more insidious than those that cause dementia, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's Disease, etc. Good cells die from lack of proper nutrition. The ABC grouping of phytonutrients helps this battle.

26) HOST OF BENEFITS
From fighting E-Coli in the bladder to fighting infections, from strengthening blood cells to helping the skin convert sunlight to vitamin D, OUR BODIES NEED THE PAN-SYSTEMIC HEALING HELP OF THESE PLANT NUTRIENTS.

26 Reasons to Drink Acai Berry Juice ~ Part 2

With permission from J.J. Oswald from the Health Journal, owned by Sound Concepts, I bring to you Part 2 of 3: the next important reasons to consume Acai Berry


9) HELPS REDUCE RISK OF CANCER
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals before they can damage cellular DNA, a crucial step in the formation of cancer and tumor cells

10) RELIEVES INFLAMMATION
Several compounds found in these fruits, including beta-sitosterol and essential fatty acids, are powerful anti-flammatory agents. Chronic inflammation is linked to dozens of debilitating heath conditions.

11) IMPEDS NRS FREE RADICALS
Research suggests that OPCs from richly pigmented red-purple fruits, such as blueberries and grapes, may restrict certain oxidants including nitrogen-reactive species.

12) FIGHTS BACTERIA
The battle for health is at the molecular level. In all of these fruits and berries there are
protectants and astringents (from flavones, flavonoids, isoflavanoids) that kill bacteria.

13) FIGHTS VIRUSES
A virus is 1000 times smaller than a bacterium. It works by attacking anything - it can enter a cell and damage it completely. The virus actually fills the cell with itself. This leads to a host of debilitating and degenerative diseases.

14) PROVIDES ESSENTIAL OILS

Oils are an array of incredibly small particles that bind with other nutrients and transport them through membranes. Our bodies would not work without them. They not only transport, but contain phytochemicals themselves.

15) COMBATS EFFECTS OF DIABETES
Many constituents of these fruits may help the body regulate blood sugar and strengthen the pancreas.

16) STRENGTHENS VISION

Zeaxanthin and Lutein stregthen and protect the eye - inhibiting glaucoma, macular degeneration and cataracts.

17) INCREASES MENTAL CLARITY
It is vastly important to get the proper nutrients in a transport system that allows the cells to receive and use them. The brain cell membranes are very protective (thankfully), but they are under an attack 24/7 and need strengthening.

26 Reasons to Drink Acai Berry Complex


1) PROTECT CELLS
Acai Berry complex protects the body's cells from pathogens, antigens and carcinogens. The body recognizes these nutrients and adapts them to protect and strengthen the immune system.

2) SCAVENGES FOR FREE RADICALS
Antioxidants inhibit oxidative damage. "Scientists now believe the free radicals are causal factors in nearly every known disease, from heart disease to arthritis to cancer and cataracts. In fact, free radicals are a major culprit in the aging process itself". Lester Packer, PhD, The Antioxidant Miracle

3) STRENGTHENS CELL MEMBRANE
Allows blood/brain barrier transmission while strengthening cell membranes. All cell membranes need to protect against the unwanted entrance of pathogens.

4) BUILDS PROTEINS
The body needs to assimilate amino acids into protein (our cellular building blocks) and this juice delivers an array of amino acids.

5) RESTORES ANTIOXIDANT NUMBER
Many antioxidants become weakened or are destroyed (i.e., vitamins C and E) but powerful antioxidants repair and strengthen the whole antioxidant network

6) STRENGTHENS IMMUNE SYSTEM
The immune system is under attack~ it is overworked. Powerful free radical scavengers help strengthen the lymphocytes and leukocytes, helping the communication process, thereby helping the body rid itself of these pathogens.

7) ENHANCES CELLULAR COMMUNICATION
It is vital for cells to communicate properly. Healthy sugars and polysaccharides are essential.

8) HELPS REDUCE RISK OF CANCER
Antioxidants neutralize free radicals before they can damage cellular DNA, a crucial step in the formation of cancer and tumor cells.

Inspirational Quote

While visiting the restuarant, Jekyll and Hyde in the village (New York), I noticed a quote written on the napkins. I loved it so much, I kept the napkin...


In each of us, two natures are at war -
the good and evil.

All our lives the fight goes on between them, and one of them must conquer.

BUT, in our own hands lie the power to choose-
what we want most to be...we are.

Lose Weight With Hoodia

Hoodia gordonii is a cactus like succulent plant. It grows in Southern Africa. The bushmen of the Kalahari Desert ate the stem of the Hoodia plant to starve off hunger during their long hunting trips.

You can lose weight with hoodia due to the active ingredient known as molecule P57. Researchers say this molecule acts on the brain similar to glucose. It tricks the brain into thinking you are full, as if you have just eaten. It also reduces interest in food and delays the time before you feel hungry again.

Taking Hoodia diet pills combined with a healthy diet and a regular exercise plan, can help you lose weight and keep it off. Hoodia has no side effects, considered to be all natural, not a drug. Hoodia is also non habit forming.

Discuss with your doctor before taking Hoodia if you have:
*diabetes
*heart disease or high blood pressure,
*a bleeding or blood clotting disorder,
*anorexia, bulimia or any other eating disorder,
*or if you are pregnant or nursing
