All About Pizza
by: Sean Lannin

The term pizza covers a lot of territory. If you want to learn all about pizzas, then you should have a bit of a background on pizzas: specifically the history of pizza, pizza origin, pizza facts, and even pizza trivia such as who invented pizza. The subject also delves into the different types and styles of pizzas. The varieties currently existing defy any attempts at enumeration. Thus, most people who attempt such a task stop at a broad categorization of pizza types according to certain attributes such as crust thickness, crust elasticity, crust baking and cooking procedures, toppings, etc. Aside from general, historical or trivial information, other things are of interest to the pizza lovers. For instance, homemade pizza enthusiasts would like to know certain tips and tricks for making pizza. This includes pizza making techniques, the best pizza crust recipes, pizza toppings, homemade pizza sauce, etc. Some other interesting topics will be frozen pizza dough and where best to attain them, what are the criteria for choosing the, what are the methods for preparing them, etc.

It must be obvious that this article is a mite ambitious for wishing to tackle something entitled "all about pizza." However, an attempt is definitely warranted, so here goes.

Some pizza facts and trivia

Accounts of pizza history always begin with the origin of pizza. This one might as well follow the same tack. We have to thank any civilization or race that baked flat bread on hot stones or stone ovens for pizza, for almost certainly, bread like the focaccia was the "mother of the pizza crust." However, the invention of the pizza is more properly attributed to the Neapolitans - the people of Naples, Italy who were baking and making pizza crust topped with tomatoes, oil, and Italian herbs, and spices. This rudimentary and traditional Italian pizza was common peasant fare in Naples. If you want an individual originator and inventor of pizzas, however, then you won't be wrong if you cite Rafaelle Esposito - a native of Naples; he modified the basic Neapolitan pizza recipe and came up with three variants that added mozzarella cheese to the rudimentary Italian pizza toppings.

Now, if you are looking for some topics for small conversation, then you must remember the following trivia. One note of caution, though; you shouldn't blurt these out just to anybody or you'll sound decidedly corny and geeky. Make sure you're talking to someone interested in pizzas before you use the following trivia as conversational gambits.

" Most people in the United States love pepperoni; the least liked toppings are anchovies.

" Pizza was called (and is still called) tomato pie and pizza pie in certain parts of the States.

" The first pizzeria in the United States was opened in New York.

" The pizza industry is worth more than 30 billion dollars in the United States alone and Americans consume around three billion units of pizza every year.

" New York pizza is traditionally plain. Supposedly, New York pizza is unique because of the acidity and hardness of the water in New York. New Yorkers therefore claim that only in New York can you make real New York Pizza.

(New Yorkers must admit, however, that if water is the unique characteristic of New York pizzas, one who uses water adjusted for hardness and acidity to reflect New York water conditions, adds all the usual New York pizza ingredients and toppings, follows all the procedures strictly but makes the pizza in New Jersey can conceivably make an authentic, New York style pizza. But such an assertion, some would say, is just plain cheek.)

Pizza types and pizza styles

The first step to a great homemade pizza is determining what type of pizza you wish to make. After all, different types of pizza have different attributes and thus call for different types of pizza base, pizza toppings and cooking techniques. Would you like to make an authentic Italian pizza, a New York style pizza, a California style pizza, or a Chicago style pizza?

Italian pizza is generally lean, although when you add cheese, its fat level generally rises in proportion. There are various kinds of Italian pizza, too. There are Neapolitan pizzas, of which there are two general types: the marinara and the Margherita. There are various combinations of these as well. Authentic Italian pizza, moreover, is supposedly baked on wood-fired or even coal-fired, stone ovens.

New York pizza, as abovementioned, is generally plain. The mainstay of New York pizza is mozzarella cheese - fresh mozzarella cheese to be precise. One can add garlic, different types of cheeses, anchovies, shrimp, etc but these are usually optional. The pizza dough recipe for traditional New York pizza, on the other hand, calls for high-gluten flour. The result is firm, usually thin, chewy pizza.

The California style pizza is generally known for gourmet flavors. You can say the California pizza has countless variations. The pizza crust, in this case, is light, crisp and generally well risen. The toppings can be out of this world - generally California pizza makers experiment a lot with all kinds of meat, sea food, breakfast dishes, and vegetable for the toppings.

The Chicago style pizza, on the other hand, is generally crusty and very filling. They are characterized by their raised edges; imagine a pre-baked apple pie crust where you can place the fillings on top. Chicago pizza is usually meaty (some variants come stuffed with cheeses and meat layers) and it is eaten with a knife and fork.

You can also start by deciding on the flavor you want. Do you want to make a cheese pizza, a vegetarian pizza or a fruit pizza? Perhaps you want to make a low fat pizza, a low carb pizza, a healthy pizza? Sourdough pizza is also another variant.

Take your pick among your many options. Once you have decided, choosing the recipe would be much easier. If you have decided on an Italian pizza, for instance, then find your Italian pizza crust recipe, your Italian pizza sauce recipe and the overall Italian pizza recipe that will give you a list of toppings and pizza preparation procedures for making an authentic Italian pizza. For an easier time of it, you can opt to use Italian-style frozen pizza dough then just follow the Italian pizza recipe that you've found.

Some pizza making tips and techniques

Hand tossing will help you minimize the lumps in your pizza dough. However, this should be done only after sufficient pizza dough kneading. This process lets your pizza dough develop into the right kind of consistency - that which is suitable for stretching and hand tossing. Hand tossing, however, is not advisable for thick pizza crust varieties.

If you want a crisp and firm pizza that retains its structure even when the moist toppings are added, you can bake the pizza crust before you add the toppings and the pizza sauce. However, for thin pizza crusts, baking the crust after the toppings and sauce have been added is sufficient. For uniform baking and crisping of the crust, use a pizza stone or a pizza screen.

Finally, remember that the protein content of your flour will influence the end product. High-gluten flour will lead to a crisp but chewy crust. Gluten-free flour, however, may lead to very soft dough; additives may have to be used to give the pizza dough strength.

Quick pizza crust recipes and easy homemade pizza recipes of all kinds and style are easily available online. There are tips for baking and preparing frozen pizza dough, making your own pizza dough, preparing the ingredients for the best pizza crust recipe, etc. All you need to start making your very own pizza recipe is an internet connection, a good source of basic pizza recipe, great pizza equipment, your imagination, and lots of time and resources for experimentation.

Everything You Wanted to Know About Wine Glasses But Were Afraid to Ask
by: Jennifer de Jong

A Brief History of the Wine Glass

Wine glasses have been used since ancient times.

Pliny (23-79 A.D.) wrote about gold and silver drinking vessels being abandoned in favor of glass, and they were frequently priced as high as the precious metal versions. Bonifacio Veronese's sixteenth-century 'Last Supper' includes modern style wine glasses with a stem and foot.

The oldest surviving European wine glasses with a stem and foot are fifteenth-century enameled goblets (a goblet is a glass holding more than four ounces of liquid).

Near the end of the sixteenth-century in Germany sophisticated engraved decoration was applied to covered wine glasses.

The earliest surviving English wine glasses are diamond-engraved glasses that were produced near the end of the sixteenth-century by Verzelini. Plain straight stems gained popularity around 1740, with air twist stems being introduced about the same time. Ten years later a twist incised on the exterior of the stem became popular.

Quality crystal wine glasses were being produced in France near the end of the eighteenth-century.

Cordial glasses in the eighteenth-century had bowls of the same shapes that were typical for wine glasses, but they were much smaller, holding about one ounce.

Toast masters glasses were made with a thicker bottom and walls so that they would hold less. A toast master had to drain every glass and still be able to remain standing till all toasts were completed.

Wine glasses during the nineteenth-century were often produced in sets - with a dozen each of port and sherry, burgundy and claret, champagne glasses and liqueur glasses.

More recently, in the 1950s, Riedel Crystal and other stemware manufacturers have refined wine glass design to the point of having a unique size and shape for almost every wine variation.

Wine glasses are made for drinking wine, of course, but people are creative and have found other uses ranging from combining several wine glasses to construct a glass harp to using stemware in a similar manner to provide sound education.

Choosing Wine Glasses

There really is no right or wrong glass for wine tasting - or for drinking wine for that matter. However, there are some glasses that are better than others for evaluating wines. First of all, we like to suggest using glasses that you are comfortable using. Aesthetics aside, there are really only two things to remember when considering a wine tasting glass: the size of the glass and the overall shape of the glass.

The more universally used tasting glass is called a chimney shape. Broader on the bottom of the bowl, it tapers upward to a smaller opening. The broader bottom will enable you to hold enough wine and give you plenty of room to swirl the wine, while the smaller opening at the top will help to trap and focus the aromas, allowing you enough of a scent to assess the wine.

Size Doesn't Matter

For the most part, if your glass is of this shape, the actual size of the glass is not important other than it needs to be big enough and have a big enough opening for you to be able to get your nose inside to really smell the wine. Some people swear by large "Burgundy" style glasses that allow as much of the wine to come in contact with the air as possible, therefore releasing as many of the aromas and flavors as possible. Others like the convenience and ease of use of a smaller glass. Other considerations that will enhance your tasting experience include glassware that is clear (no colors) and free of cuts or engravings within the glass.

Many glass manufacturers have designed specific glasses for specific wine types or varietals, taking in to account different aspects of the individual wine type. While this is wonderful, it is not a necessary purchase for a complete wine tasting. The top producer of these specialized wine glasses is an Austrian crystal company named Riedel (pronounced REE-dle). They are exquisite and expensive.

Cleaning Wine Glasses

When it comes time to clean your glassware, try to avoid using soap. Instead use hot water and rinse thoroughly. Soap can become trapped within the glass release soapy odors the next time you use it. Although you may become quite proficient at identifying various brands of dish soap, this ability and the soapy glasses that taught you will not add to the enjoyment of a good glass of wine.

To summarize, it's important that you find good glassware for your wine tasting experiences, but "good" does not necessarily mean "expensive." Find glassware that you are comfortable with and adequately serves its purpose: presenting wine for your evaluation and enjoyment.

Tips For Serving Wine

You've probably heard many conflicting and complicated instructions throughout the years on the proper way to get wine from the store to your glass. It doesn't have to be that hard. Here are the basics of serving wine, which are all you really need.

Many customs have accompanied wine drinking through the years. None of them are meant to be intimidating or stuffy. They are just practices intended to enhance the enjoyment of wine.

- "White wine with fish and red wine with meat" is more customary than culinary.

- Red wines are served at room temperature, while white wines, roses, and champagnes are served chilled.

- The stronger the food, the stronger the wine. The lighter the food, the lighter the wine.

- Wine loves air, which revives its sleeping flavors. It is recommended to open the bottle about an hour before consumption and let the wine "breathe". This ages it a year or so, and allows its flavors to mellow.

- A bottle of wine has to be handled carefully, with the minimum movement possible. Remember, wine likes to sleep, only to awaken in your mouth.

- Red wine bottles do not need to be cleaned or dusted before opening. They are opened on a hard surface. White wines, rose, and Champagne bottles are opened in ice buckets.

- Red wines corks are sniffed to make sure the wine has not spoiled, which gives the cork an unpleasant smell. It is not necessary to smell white and rose wine corks since the wine was refrigerated and the cork will not smell.

Ideal Serving Temperatures For Serving Wine

On the subject of temperature - you may have heard that red wine should be served at room temperature and that white wine should be slightly chilled before serving. These recommendations originated at a time when "room temperature" was lower than is typical today.

Full-bodied and tannic red wines are best enjoyed at not more than 64°F (18°C) and clarets, Pinot Noirs (including burgundies), and then the modern reds - soft, light, fruity and relatively tannin-free for drinking young, at progressively cooler temperatures - down to about 54°F (12°C).

White wines are ideally served between 43°F (6°C) to 52°F (11°C). Red wine or white wine, err on the cool side as they will warm quickly on the table and in the glass

WOMAN HEALTH AND SKIN

Skin Care Moisturizer Cream Can Keep Your Skin Smooth and Supple
by: Sylvie Bordeaux

They say beauty is only skin deep, but only a woman knows just how true that is. You can be the prettiest thing in the room, but wrinkled, sun damaged skin can certainly bring your appearance down several notches. Skin care moisturizer cream is just the thing you need to help prevent new wrinkles, reduce the appearance of the wrinkles you have, and help heal sun damaged skin. Whether you struggle with dry skin, combination skin, oily skin, acne, or some other type of skin condition, there is a moisturizer that is made just for you. The only challenge is finding the right moisturizer for you and knowing what to look for. It’s all about getting the details right -- what types of moisturizer are best for you and how often to apply them. Luckily for you, we’ve got the scoop on the best moisturizers for your needs.

Water Based Moisturizers are a No-No

When purchasing moisturizer cream, many women simply do not stop and look at the ingredients. Often women are attracted to a pretty box or a pretty jar with a fancy sounding name without realizing that many of the moisturizers out there contain up to 40% water. Other women make the mistake of going with a water based moisturizer, thinking that water is the most natural moisturizer in the world and that it should do wonders for their skin. Strangely enough, that is not the case. Different all natural ingredients, like Aloe Vera, are better suited for a moisturizer for the face, especially for those looking for anti aging or anti wrinkle benefits. It may not seem like it but water based moisturizers are a recipe for disaster when it comes to dry skin. They dry out your skin even more as opposed to adding much needed moisture.

Consider the Benefits of Natural Aloe Vera

Aloe Vera based creams are different and for those who have only used water based products or for those looking for a change in their present moisturizing routine, this is the best and only alternative. A few of the skin care moisturizer cream products even contain essential fatty acids and other ingredients that actually imitate the natural actions and compositions of your skin. These special ingredients work wonders against drying and breakouts, and makes it easier for the ingredients to be absorbed into the skin. Aloe Vera itself is 100 percent natural, coming straight from the plant of the same name and is known for its healing benefits to damaged skin.

How Often is Too Often?

Depending on your skin and its makeup, you never know how much to moisturize until you figure out what is best for you. If you have normal skin, moisturizing once a day should be sufficient, but if you have dry skin or skin with a condition you may want to consider moisturizing twice daily -- once during the morning hours and once before bed.

Be sure to follow the directions that are specified on the back of moisturizer box or jar for best results and remember that not all moisturizers are created equal. Some of them have specific instructions and are designed to treat different skin conditions so be sure to read the label carefully. Some moisturizers have natural oils, vitamins, lipids, and other ingredients that are designed to smooth and beautify your skin. Be warned that chemicals have been added to other moisturizer creams and these should be strictly avoided.

How do you know which is the best skin care moisturizer cream for you? In all reality, there is no “one size fits all.” Everyone has a different type of skin and unfortunately there is a bit of trial and error that you must go through. You have to find out the hard way sometimes but often you can take shortcuts by getting recommendations from other women with skin similar to yours. Remember though that just because a particular product works for someone else does not necessarily mean that it will work for you. One thing you can be sure of though is that it is pretty hard to go wrong with an aloe vera based moisturizer. Aloe Vera can heal damaged skin, moisturize, and even provide some anti aging benefits as well. Plus it doesn’t dry out the skin like water based moisturizers do...and it should go without saying that dry skin is much more prone to wrinkles than hydrated, moisturized skin.

The benefits of Aloe Vera are endless and no matter what type of skin you have, you should be able to enjoy the benefits of this all natural ingredient that was discovered more than 3,500 years ago and that is still being used today. An Aloe Vera based moisturizer can help give you healthier, more beautiful skin no matter what kind of skin you have and no matter how much sun damage you have.

Be sure to read the label before buying any moisturizer cream and always, always, always demand an Aloe Vera based moisturizer.

Do you hate fine lines?

Do you hate wrinkles?

Do you hate sun spots?

Do you have old acne scars to get rid of?

Do you want to feel beautiful again?

An Aloe Vera based moisturizer cream just may be the way to go and due to its healing properties, Aloe Vera should be something you look for in any skin care moisturizer cream.

What Would a Fashion Model's Diet Plan be
by: Mary Watson

Have you ever wondered how the so-called super models manage to get in such good shape and stay trim, even after having a family?

Fashion models depend on their slim figures for their livelihood, so it's imperative that they always look good. Don't worry, I'm not suggesting that you should embark on a diet of leaves and nuts. I'm not an advocate of the size zero, but I'm sure you'll find it interesting to know what sort of diet a fashion model would choose.

The Fashion Models Diet Plan

A favourite way for models to look good is to "Cleanse" or "Fast". This is not a complete starvation diet, as it will include the intake of soups and fruit juices over a 3 to7 day period. It is more of a detox routine and is gernerally only carried out once or twice a year.

The benefits of this detox is to obviously rid the body of harmful toxins, such as preservatives and food additives together with inhaled smoke and fumes. It also gives the colon a chance to rid the digestive system of any fecal build up. The results can be dramatic as the liver and kidneys are able to repair and replace damaged cells instead of continuing to rid the body of toxins.

A typical "Cleanse" diet might consist of a combination of fresh carrots, celery, beet, spinach, apple, coconut, broth and juices. Citrus and tomato juices are too acidic to drink while fasting so these should be avoided. It's important to drink plenty of water during the detox and avoid consuming any unnecessary medications or supplements.

The advantages of a detox are weight loss, reduced body odour, shinier finger nails, stronger hair, reduced cellulite, a glowing complexion and more beautiful eyes.

After the detox, the typical fashion model will then begin her normal eating habits, which to some people may appear to be a "real" diet. However, it will simply be a healthy balanced diet, which might typically consist of the following:

---Breakfast (9am)
One boiled egg with a slice of wholewheat bread
A bowl of cereal with skimmed milk
Black coffee
Total 369 calories

---Lunch (12.30pm)
Turkey salad with balsamic vinaigrette
Cup of tea with skimmed milk
Total 320 calories

---Early Evening Snack (4.30pm)
Low fat Jell-O pudding
Total 100 calories

---Dinner (8pm)
Lean Cuisine chicken a l'orange with rice
2 slices of low fat cheddar cheese with wholewheat crackers
Total 448 calories

The total calorie intake for a typical day is 1237. The aim of the diet is to keep the daily calorie count below 1500.

This is a typical example of a fashion model's diet, which will also involve some form of aerobic exercises 3 times a week.

So, as you can see it's not at all what you might have originally thought. It's just a sensible eating plan and a sensible exercise routine. However, if even this diet seems a little too much to stomach, you could try a natural herbal diet remedy.

Here are the top 5 tips that fashion models highly recommend for staying in trim.

1. Decrease your alcohol consumption. Alcohol suppresses the body's ability to burn fat.

2. Eat more Black Pepper, Ginger, Chile Peppers. Spicy food helps speed up the body's metabolism.

3. Increase your muscle mass. Muscle burns fat, so adding 5lbs of muscle will help you burn another 250 calories a day.

3. Increase your vitamin B and Calcium intake. The B-Vitamins give you more energy and increase your metabolism.

4. Drink More Water. A healthy, well-hydrated body is important to flush out toxins and aid in metabolising fats

5. Increase your intake of Omega-3 Fatty Acids. Omega 3 fatty acids can help to balance blood sugar levels and control appetite.

The Most Serious Health Concerns for Women and What You Can Do
by: Megan Hazel

These days, it seems women have more health concerns than ever. Perhaps they are greater in number than ever before or perhaps we are just more aware of women's issues as women are more comfortable having them brought to the forefront.

One issue that continually does get the attention it deserves is breast cancer. The breast cancer statistics are alarming, and almost everyone you know has a sister or mother who has suffered from this deadly disease. If caught early enough, it does not have to be deadly. In fact, there are things you can do so that you don't get it at all. Every woman (young and old) should be checking their breasts monthly to detect for any strange lumps or any unusual signs. This can be done in the shower, with one arm raised and the other performing the checking task. Any doctor can show you the specifics on how to do this. If you do sense something suspicious, make an appointment with your doctor right away to have it looked at. The other thing you can do is be a conscious consumer; every day the FDA is coming out with new information as to what may be potential carcinogens (cancer-causing agents), from food additives to plastics to environmental hazards. Becoming aware and taking the time to be educated can make all the difference in the world.

Another major health concern for women is heart disease. This continues to be the number one killer of women, actually, and it doesn't just happen to those you would suspect. When people think of heart disease, most people think of the severely obese. However, women can suffer from heart disease, high blood pressure, and clogged arteries from poor food choices, lack of exercise, and stress. Believe it or not, if you eat fast food on a regular basis and skip the gym in favor of drinks after a very stressful work day that ends at 7:00 p.m. instead of 5:00 p.m., you may be in a higher risk category than your friend who remains calm, eats a lot of healthy food choices, and practices yoga a couple times a week. If you know you are in the first group, the best thing you can do for yourself is to start making small changes. If you can't get away from a stressful job or career, make sure to step away each hour and do deep breathing exercises, and stretch your body while at work. Go to the ladies room to do it if necessary! Try to make smarter food choices, even if it means just eliminating one of your ‘junk food meals' a week. If you're not big on exercise, start with a simple walk a couple times a week and go from there. The sooner you make these changes, the healthier you will be and the less at risk for heart disease.

A third issue for women and one that has been on the rise for quite some time is obesity. The "average" American woman has increased in size to a size 12 or even a size 14, with many women reaching far beyond that size. This can be unhealthy depending on your body fat percentage. While women can take some of the same steps as with heart disease discussed above, people who suffer from obesity may need to take more drastic measures in order to get their weight down. If you are obese, it is definitely time to get your diet in check so that you don't later develop heart disease, or adult diabetes, or a host of other problems from being overweight. Eating a lot of processed, artificially sweetened, or sugar and fat-laden foods is likely a habit, and one that needs to be nipped in the bud. Hand in hand with poor eating habits is exercise habits, and if you don't have any it's time to get some! It will be difficult at first, and you are likely to be winded and tired after a very short time of exertion. However, if you keep pushing through the challenging times you will soon see and feel the difference. You will notice you have more energy, as your workout time may go from ten minutes on the treadmill to fifteen to twenty. As you benefit from this greater energy, it will not only help power you through your workout sessions, but it will put a brighter spin on the rest of your life. You will find you have more energy throughout the day, and chances are you will continue to burn calories because of this. You will probably find an easier time making healthy food choices if you incorporate exercise into your fight against obesity as well.

Women's issues can be the same as men's issues or they can be different. The good news is, women's health concerns get discussed more than they used to, and this gives us greater power in awareness.

Menstrual Cycles And Ovarian Cysts
by: Hillary Templeton

In the post-menopausal group, I would say 50 percent of those are going to have a cancer risk associated with the cyst, and certainly as one gets older than 50, that increase goes markedly up. Certainly if a 75-year-old woman came in with any type of cyst, that should be looked into aggressively. So the problem in management really is when you have a prepubital girl who comes in and has a documented large cyst, you're going to operate. The post-menopausal woman is going to be followed very aggressively and most likely, she's going to be operated on. The key in management is, the challenge is, well how do you manage the reproductive age group? Which is the majority of where these cysts show up and we'll talk about here, that in a minute.

But I want to say something about the size of cysts. And a cyst depends on your definition. We've already said that a cyst is a fluid filled sac, but how big is it? Clearly it's any size, but most likely a cyst is going to be visible if it's about a centimeter. What is considered as a cyst that bears watching is usually something at three centimeters or greater. And if you have a cyst six centimeters, which is for the non-metric group, sometimes I have to check myself, the, it's about a little over two-and-a-third inches. If a woman presents with a cyst that's two-and-a-third inches, that bears definite watching and rather aggressive management. Indiana University trained Obstetrician Gynecologist, Christopher Freville suggests that certainly very large cysts have the necessity for more aggressive, aggressive management.

When you we have a woman with a cyst who has let's say something less than ten centimeters, it's just noticed. Unless we have substantial pain with that, and again that's one of the criteria we're looking at the age of the woman, we're looking at the size of the cyst and we're looking at the symptoms. Obviously if the woman's in excruciating pain, and we've got a documented cyst, well that bears investigating quickly, perhaps surgery, active imaging because it could be a complicated, complication of the cyst, which we'll talk about. If the cyst in most cases is say less than ten centimeters, and there are no severe symptoms pain associated with it, then most of these can be watched for a period of one to three menstrual cycles, so up to 90 days, come back periodically, have another exam and see if these resolve. Because most of them are going to be the functional cysts, the cyst associated with the period that we talked about in the first category.

Does that mean that you're monitoring them over two or three menstrual cycles that they could well reduce in size after that time?

Absolutely, many of these will go away spontaneously. But as part of the management process, it depends on what is the goal of the reproductive age patient. Again, we've already eliminated the children, they're going to be, they're going to have surgery, most likely. We've already - because there's no reason for a child under the age of 12 to have a cyst, we've already said that the woman over 50, if she has a cyst, say a six centimeter cyst and she's stopped her periods, we could watch her one or two cycles but most likely, it's not going to be a leftover renegade cyst, if it persists more than that, and she needs to have further testing beyond the ultrasound. She needs to have a surgery to actually go in a small incision can be made above the pubic bone a laparotomy and to remove it

The Subjective Role Of Sexy Lingerie
by: Jason Mark Hulott

There are three kinds of lingerie in the world. There is that used strictly to bring on the act of sex. Fishnet stockings with a sheer camisole set, for example. Or a g-string and a half-cup bra. Then there are lingerie pieces that serve to enhance or control the body's natural beauty. Corsets, garters, and bustiers are examples. Finally, there is the sexy lingerie. This is lingerie used in the art of romance. Silk negligees and lacy panties, for instance.

Marketing of sexy lingerie is aimed toward the everyday woman, the working mom or career lady who has to spend every day in a man's world. The lingerie these women want to wear on the weekend doesn't include granny panties and a T-shirt. It isn't a trampy, uncomfortable outfit either. They want lingerie that is tasteful and classy enough to wear on a regular basis. And comfortable. If they can't enjoy wearing lingerie, they don't want it at all. Men buying lingerie for their ladies need to realize this.

It is important to say here that sexy is a subjective term. It depends really on the psychology of those involved. What one man thinks is sexy might be utterly atrocious and distasteful to another. Take sheer lingerie. One man would find the idea of seeing his lady's body through the lingerie very sexy and stimulating. Another man would think it too revealing and unimaginative. In order to determine where they stand on the matter, men could answer the following questions:

1. Do you get aroused seeing fully-clothed women?
2. Would you go or have you ever gone to a striptease?
3. When you and your lady get time alone, what do you do first?

This strange set of questions can tell men a lot about what they think is sexy. It will also reveal to them some of their attitudes about the act. Men who climax early during intercourse shouldn't buy trampy, skimpy lingerie. A sexual encounter shouldn't be over in five minutes. Men who find themselves aroused in the presence of fully-clothed women usually have a good imagination. A simple body-suit for their women can prove provocative to them. Men who frequent the striptease or the nearby go-go club might need more. These shows desensitize. The sexy or romantic style of lingerie just won't cut it. These men need to see skin. A thong or backless panties might help some men along. Finally, the last question. On the weekend, after the work week is done, men and women reunite in a more relaxed atmosphere. They have a chance to remedy what might be days of sexual frustration. Men who want sex first won't need alluring lingerie. A simple bra and panty set will suffice. Men who expect to spend a romantic evening with their ladies before commencing with sex should go for the silk chemise or camisole set.

So, what does sexy lingerie do for a relationship? Depending on what men feel is sexy, it can either lead to or instigate the act of making love. In the lingerie world, sexy style lingerie points to that which is alluring and attractive, without becoming pornographic. It is the comfortable silk or satin nightgown. It covers enough of the body to leave things to the imagination. But since sexy is a subjective term, it has come to include all types of lingerie, whether they reveal nothing or everything

A headache is pain or discomfort in the head, scalp, or neck. Serious causes of headaches are extremely rare. Most people with headaches can feel much better by making lifestyle changes, learning ways to relax, and occasionally by taking medications.

Alternative Names
Pain - head

Common Causes

Tension headaches are due to tight, contracted muscles in your shoulders, neck, scalp, and jaw. They are often related to stress, depression, or anxiety. Overworking, not getting enough sleep, missing meals, and using alcohol or street drugs can make you more susceptible to them. Headaches can be triggered by chocolate, cheese, and monosodium glutamate (MSG). People who drink caffeine can have headaches when they don't get their usual daily amount.

Other common causes include:

Holding your head in one position for a long time, like at a computer, microscope, or typewriter
Poor sleep position
Overexerting yourself
Clenching or grinding your teeth
Tension headaches tend to be on both sides of your head. They often start at the back of your head and spread forward. The pain may feel dull or squeezing, like a tight band or vice. Your shoulders, neck, or jaw may feel tight and sore.

Migraine headaches are severe, recurrent headaches generally accompanied by other symptoms like visual disturbances or nausea. They tend to begin on one side of your head, although the pain may spread to both sides. You may have an "aura" (warning symptoms that start before your headache) and feel throbbing, pounding, or pulsating pain.

For information on migraine, see migraine headache.

Other types of headaches:

Cluster headaches are sharp, extremely painful headaches that tend to occur several times per day for months and then go away for a similar period. They are far less common.
Sinus headaches cause pain in the front of your head and face. They are due to inflammation in the sinus passages that lie behind the cheeks, nose, and eyes. The pain tends to be worse when you bend forward and when you first wake up in the morning. Postnasal drip, sore throat, and nasal discharge usually occur with these headaches.
Headaches may occur if you have a cold, the flu, fever, or premenstrual syndrome.

If you are over age 50 and are experiencing headaches for the first time, a condition called temporal arteritis may prove to be the cause. Symptoms of this condition include impaired vision and pain aggravated by chewing. There is a risk of becoming blind with this condition. Therefore, it must be treated by your doctor right away.

Rare causes of headache include:

Brain aneurysm -- a weakening of the wall of a blood vessel that can rupture and bleed into the brain
Brain tumor
Stroke or TIA
Brain infection like meningitis or encephalitis

Home Care

Keep a headache diary to help identify the source or trigger of your symptoms. Then modify your environment or habits to avoid future headaches. When a headache occurs, write down the date and time the headache began, what you ate for the past 24 hours, how long you slept the night before, what you were doing and thinking about just before the headache started, any stress in your life, how long the headache lasts, and what you did to make it stop. After a period of time, you may begin to see a pattern.

A headache may be relieved by resting with your eyes closed and head supported. Relaxation techniques can help. A massage or heat applied to the back of the upper neck can be effective in relieving tension headaches.

Try acetaminophen, aspirin, or ibuprofen for tension headaches. DO NOT give aspirin to children because of the risk of Reye's syndrome.

Migraine headaches may respond to aspirin, naproxen, or combination migraine medications.

If over-the-counter remedies do not control your pain, talk to your doctor about possible prescription medications.

Prescription medications used for migraine headaches include ergotamine, dihydroergotamine, ergotamine with caffeine (Cafergot), isometheptene (Midrin), and triptans like sumatriptan (Imitrex), rizatriptan (Maxalt), eletriptan (Relpax), almotriptan (Axert), and zolmitriptan (Zomig). Sometimes medications to relieve nausea and vomiting are helpful for other migraine symptoms.

If you get headaches often, your doctor may prescribe medication to prevent headaches before they occur. Examples of these include:

Antidepressants such as nortriptyline (Pamelor), amitriptyline (Elavil), fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem), sertraline (Zoloft), or paroxetine (Paxil) for tension or migraine headache
Beta-blockers such as propranolol (Inderal) for frequent migraine headaches
Calcium channel blockers such as verapamil for frequent migraine headaches
Anti-epileptic medicines such as topiramate (Topamax)
If you are using pain medications more than 2 days a week, you may be suffering from rebound headaches. Rebound headaches are caused by a cycle of using pain medications for short-term relief, followed by the headache pain returning for increasingly longer periods of time despite taking more pain medications.

All types of pain pills (including over-the-counter drugs), muscle relaxants, some decongestants, and caffeine can cause this pattern. If you think this may be a problem for you, talk to your health care provider.

Quit Smoking

2007-12-24T09:17:00.000-08:00

How To Get A Man To Quit Smoking
by: Wendy N. Lapidus-Saltz

It’s my job to hypnotize people to stop smoking. I also hypnotize people to create outrageous new possibilities in their lives. But helping people rid themselves of a life-threatening, debilitating habit is what makes me jump out of bed in the morning.

So if you’d like to know how to help a man make the decision and take the actions to stop smoking, you’re in the right place. But you need to understand some things first:

1. Men Vs. Women Smokers

Many of my smoking cessation clients are women. They awaken one day with this feeling inside and say: I’m going to stop smoking!

Sometimes it’s because they want to get pregnant. Or because they worry about the link between smoking and various cancers, heart conditions, or other diseases that affect women. Sometimes it’s because they know they smell like smoke, or they’re wasting money, or it’s getting harder to breathe when they exercise.

Sometimes it’s because a cute little girl said, “Mommy, I wanna smoke, just like you.”

So they make the decision, and then call me and ask how soon they can come in. If I said, “Five minutes from now,” they’d manage to arrive on time, no matter how far away they live. That’s how women smokers act when they quit for good. But men? Well…

2. Men Are Different And What That Means

I’m going to be doing some generalizing here, so buckle your seatbelt and know that I’m trying to make important points that apply to many male smokers, if not all. Mea culpa, but I believe it’s important.

To a man, smoking means something different than to a woman.

To a woman (alert: I’m generalizing again), it’s a way to hang out with her smoking friends; something to do with her hands; an ill-advised method for keeping her weight down (she believes) and a way to create some smoke curls that (she believes) make her look elegant, graceful, and interesting.

To a man, though he won’t admit it, it’s tied up with his manhood.

It doesn’t really matter how, when or why he began smoking, but here are the favorites:

he learned at his father’s knee
he tried his first cigarette with a crowd of other boys
he took it up because John Wayne smoked
he wanted to rebel
he wanted to feel okay as a loner
he’ll look like he’s doing something so the woman he loves will leave him alone
he smokes outside his office building so he can bond with his boss
he started (again) because George Clooney looked so cool smoking in Good Night and Good Luck (substitute any hot male star in any noteworthy film)

Regardless which scenario, it’s about masculinity and what that means to him.

3. Ways To Encourage A Man To Stop Smoking

There are four or five solid ways to get a guy to stop smoking. And a hundred ways to make him smoke more in your attempt to get him to stop. If you’re a woman who loves a man who smokes, you know many of the hundred. When I retire, I may compile them all. In the meantime, here are some of the ways that have been tried.

4. Worst Ways

nagging him
getting his mother to nag him
showing him articles that say smoking = death
showing him articles that say smoking leads to a long list of horrible diseases
asking his doctor to tell him, especially if he finds out you did
saying he stinks, literally
saying you won’t have sex with him if he continues to smoke
saying his cough sounds symptomatic of something horrible
reminding him he swore he would stop
naming friends, relatives and celebrities who are ill or dead due to smoking

These don’t work because for most men because every time you make the argument, it will trigger an answer that proves it’s not true for him. Remind him that so-and-so died of lung cancer, and he’ll remember that so-and-so smoked filterless cigarettes, smoked more often and longer.

Every time you nag, he’ll offer himself a counter-example. Every time you demonstrate why he shouldn’t smoke, he’ll see how his situation is different.

Soon he may tune out your voice entirely when he knows a stop-smoking argument is coming.

5. Best Ways

A. He discovers for himself—physical effects in his own body, or stories about a close friend who is very sick, or news stories, or a very smart doctor who knows how to talk to men directly without being an alarmist. He makes the decision.

B. A child tells him, innocently and disingenuously. Kids say the darnedest things. And spoken with such innocence, it could make a stone cry. Especially if the child is the man’s own blood. (Bribery is okay for this good cause; just make sure the kid stays quiet.)

C. He reads an article that hits so close to home, he can’t ignore it. He just “happened” to find this article in the house.

D. He hears from his wife or a beloved daughter these words: “I’m having a baby!” A first (grand)child or a late-in-life baby are especially compelling.

E. A combination of any of the above.

6. What To Say When A Man Tells You He Is Stopping Smoking

Be pleasantly surprised, even if you were prepping this for months. Be pleased, and don’t offer to help. Let him ask.

Avoid saying “It’s about time” or “I told you you’d better.” Instead try “That’s great.” Then stop. If he looks like he is trusting you not to nag, you might quietly add “Can I do anything?” but if you’ve been a nag, steer clear of even that.

Don’t ask about his progress, let him tell you. If he chooses to talk, be supportive and proud of him, as if the idea was all his. Because, truthfully, it was.

Enjoy knowing you got what you wanted. Keep this enjoyment private. © 2007 by Wendy Lapidus-Saltz. All rights reserved.

Acne Medication - Does Acne Skin Care Products Work?
by: Dr John Anne

Acne is a common inflammatory skin disease that involves pimples, primarily on face. Acne specifically occurs in teenagers and young adults sometimes causing them embarrassment, even psychological stress as well. Poor diet, stressful life, and hormonal changes are a few reasons for acne breakout. Also, incorrect use of beauty products or using poor quality acne skin care products can aggravate acne.

You can try using some natural or home remedies for mild acne, if it is initial stage and you see an occasional whitehead or a blackhead. However, if your acne is moderate, you should see a dermatologist and seek proper acne medication, before it gets severe. A doctor generally refers a few acne creams, and guides you on using acne skin care products. A variety of acne products are available at medical stores. Some of these are good to cure acne, and while others help you prevent acne.

There are many OTC medicines that people take for acne. This may be a good option for initial stage but if your acne is getting worse, seek proper acne medication. The dermatologist examines the symptoms and gives you prescribed medicine for effective treatment and cure. Apart from treatment, you should change your diet plan and avoid foods that can cause acne or that slow the recovery process.

Most often, the acne products contain benzoyl peroxide and some antibiotics. These help the affected area to dry out, and take care of acne scar as well. Many acne creams and lotions that you use for treatment contain vitamin A. However, you may feel some irritation or itching on your skin when you begin the treatment. Use a good quality skin moisturizer for in such cases. In case of severe acne, you may also require to take oral acne medication. Many prescribed medicines eliminate the reasons that can cause acne. Generally, these help you fighting against the bacterial infection that leads to acne.

Sometimes, a medicine has its side effects as well. Discuss with your doctor, if you notice any rashes on skin, or some stomach problem, and seek any alternative medicine, or some medicine to counter the side effects of acne medication. Research has shown that a few acne medicines may cause malformation of the teeth; and a few others can cause changes in the color of the skin. Your skin may get dark, or lighter than its normal color.

A few other common side effects are as below.

• Your hair may lose their natural color, and may turn white.

• You may notice skin allergy.

• There may be blisters or some swelling over affected areas on skin.

• In some cases, you may also see burning or redness of skin.

Some doctors recommend that you should not take calcium supplements, or any laxatives while you are taking acne medications. Select your acne skin care products carefully, and if possible, use only those products that are prescribed or recommended by your doctor.

Washing your face is the most important factor that contributes to early recovery. Wash your face to revoke any oils or dirt from your face and do not apply any make up or cream while going to bed. It enables your skin to breathe which is very important for a healthy and fresh skin. Do not touch, prick or pierce your pimples as it may leave permanent scars on the skin. Let them heal naturally or though acne medications, and the scars will automatically disappear over a period of time.

Sometimes, a few medicines are not recommended for special cases such as for a pregnant women and patients of Hansen's disease. Also, the patients of asthma, hay fever or those who have a weak liver are also advised against using some particular acne products. In such situations, discuss all the symptoms with your dermatologist, along with any medication that you are already taking. You may require some different acne creams or medication in such cases.

While purchasing acne products, read the instructions carefully. See the manufacturing and expiry dates of products, and read how to use those. There may be instructions that require that you should not expose your skin to sunlight after applying a specific acne cream. Following the instructions properly will help quick acne treatment and cure.

Apart from traditional acne medications, you can control acne using herbal products as well. The advantage with using herbal products is that these do not cause any side effects, though sometimes, the recovery process is slow. Even if you are taking traditional medicines, you can take herbal and natural treatment for acne, simultaneously. However, consult with your doctor before using a herbal product since it may hinder the effectiveness of prescribed medicines. Also, take required precautions in your diet and lead a positive and stress free life style.

From the desk of Jesse Willms,
Weight Loss Coach and Fitness Guru

Dear Struggling Dieter,

If you’ve tried diet after diet after diet after diet and still been unable to lose weight, it’s probably NOT YOUR FAULT. If you’ve tried everything you hear about on TV and read in magazines but haven’t been able to make it work, or your weight goes up and down like a yo-yo as a result of the different diets and pills you’ve used, here is what I am writing to tell you.....

They do this in two different ways. First of all, they sell us millions and millions of dollars worth of prescription drugs, pills, diets, meal replacement shakes, etc. that are almost worthless. What’s more, they attempt to keep us from finding out about effective, cheap ways to lose weight... without spending a lot of money.

So if you’ve been whipping yourself for being lazy or not having enough will power or anything of the sort then you can give yourself a break. That doesn’t mean you should just shrug it off and roll over in defeat, justifying your weight by saying ‘it runs in the family’ or you are ‘big boned.’ I promise YOU CAN LAUGH AT WEIGHT PROBLEMS and enjoy the sort of beautiful, slim, stunning body you’ve always wanted... if you follow my simple plan.

What is this plan? Well, you may have seen it featured on 60 Minutes. Or perhaps you’ve heard about it from the Diet Awards Organization, or from countless magazine articles.

Believe me, if you want to get healthy and lose weight, skyrocket your energy and cut the effects of carbs this 400 year old weight loss secret from China is the proven way to do it.

Without starvation Without pills Without impossible diets Without low energy Without gadgets or joining expensive "programs". Without leaving the privacy of your home. And best of all, you’ll lose weight without spending hardly any money. However, before I go into that let me expose the reason why the odds have been stacked against you until now. Then I will introduce you to the 400 year old secret behind why Chinese men and women don’t get fat.

If you are truly serious about losing weight, you will be extremely pleased you took the time to read all this information (even though some of it is kind of boring, scientific proof).

Firstly, let’s look at the world of fashion; it would absolutely crumble if everyone was thin and beautiful. There would be no one to buy the magazines and expensive, "stylish" clothing in a continuous, desperate attempt to live up to the standards set out there by these media moguls, because we would all be living on a relatively level playing field in the first place.

The fast food and restaurant industry make a killing each year not by promoting foods that help keep us healthy or of a healthy weight, because our minds do not CRAVE these kinds of foods.

Nearly the entire time it has taken to program us genetically as a species throughout evolution, we have NOT had an abundance of food. It was only within the last few thousand short years that we human beings figured out how to produce enough food that we no longer had to be hunters and gatherers, but rather farmers and herders.

That being said, it was those of our ancestors who carried the gene to crave fatty, oily foods that ate more fatty, oily foods; and thus were better prepared to survive the long cold winters and to pass on that trait. Hundreds of thousands of generations later, we still carry that "fat-craving" gene - every single one of us.

And the money barons at the top of the food service industry know this fact very well. They capitalize on it - on you - on a daily basis. And unless you know what’s going on, you can’t resist it. The trait resides deep within your DNA, and if you can’t consciously identify it as being the culprit and antagonist to your weight loss endeavors, you will never overcome it.

That’s why we built this site, to expose to you what has been at the core of your weight issues for your whole life, and to provide you with an effective solution to conquer it - once and for all - if you so choose that’s what you want to do.

“Since I have been drinking the tea for 1 month
I've dropped 15 pounds...”*

Click on the play button below to listen to Linda's testimonial now.

I have had a wonderful experience with Wu-Yi. Everything that was promised I am experiencing: more energy, glowing skin and have lost weight.

I am 54 year old grandmother and am in good shape, but lacked the energy or motivation to push myself in my career or in my already intense morning weight workouts. Wanting to drop about 10+ pound, I have not had any success. A girlfriend at work mentioned your tea and I bought some right away. Since I have been drinking the tea for 1 month, I've dropped 15 pounds... even though I am strong and always had excellent muscle tone.. now it is showing!!!
- Linda M.Hashi
Lawndale, CA

*Results not typical. All individuals used Wu-Yi Tea with diet and exercise. Individuals have been remunerated.

That’s right, either you begin to achieve your goals successfully, or you do not pay a penny. The only string attached to this deal is the strong faith that our tea will produce significant results every time with good diet and exercise. You came here today looking for a solution to lose weight, and that’s exactly what we’re going to deliver to your doorstep. Or it’s free.
Guaranteed.

How would you like to reduce pounds of stubborn body fat in 30 short days by simply including a recently unearthed Eastern weight loss gem to your diet and exercise program?

It’s called Wu-Yi tea. Authentic Wu-Yi is only found on Mt. Wu Yi Shan where we have staked our own private tea estate. Accept no cheap imitations.

Our rare premium slimming Wu-Yi tea is from the oolong tea family, which has been studied extensively by the scientific community in labs all over the world. The reason why this type of tea is so fiercely sought after is three-fold.

One: It may reduce fat – Our tea has an incredibly high natural concentration of polymerized polyphenols. These polyphenol compounds have been clinically proven (Suntory Research Center in Osaka, Japan) to activate enzymes that cause triglycerides to dissolve, producing fat-burning effects. They also improve metabolism which facilitates weight loss through natural body processes.

Two: It May Fight the Effects of Ageing – Our tea is particularly rich in catechins, theaflavins and thearubigins. For those of us without a medical degree, these are all powerful antioxidants. Natural antioxidants are the best defense against the "free radicals" that accumulate in our body over time with stress, pollution, and by consuming chemical additives found in many foods we eat each day.

Research studies have concluded that free radicals are a major factor in causing the signs of ageing such as dark spots and wrinkling of the skin, as well as other diseases related to ageing such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, dementia, arthritis, inflammatory disease and heart/artery disease. In other words, free radicals are not to be taken lightly.

[In one 2004 study by Dr. Kenichi Yanagimoto and colleagues from the University of California, Davis, people who drank oolong daily experienced a remarkable 50 percent reduction in free radicals within just 15 days.]

Three: Very Limited Supply – Since our Authentic Wu-Yi only comes from the prime growing region of Mt. Wu Yi Shan in China’s Fujian Province, there is not enough seasonal supply to meet the growing demand. That is why we went directly to China to purchase our own 800-acre tea estate right on the gentle slope of the west-facing mountain side before demand shot up to what it is today.

Step 1
Once our experienced Tea Director has deemed a particular yield to be up to Wu-Yi’s standards, the Wu-Yi tea leaves are then left to dry and age in direct mountain-side sun light. Then, our Tea Director completes a 17-point quality test on the leaves before they are gently shaken into bamboo baskets to lightly tenderize the outer edges (this is the secret to our distinct, robust flavor).

Step 2
The Wu-Yi leaves are then spread out on hand-woven Chinese drying mats, where they are left to cure for up to 72 hours. Some companies try to cut this timely method out of the production method by fire-drying their leaves. We take the exact opposite approach, because we know the extra time we take in producing our premium Wu-Yi tea is a small price to pay for the quality we are providing to our customers.
Step 3
The leaves are then rolled with precision bamboo rollers to break them at the molecular level. This helps to release the fat-burning catechins and enzymes so your body is able absorb them easier and more quickly. (This is yet another crucial step that is often neglected at many other tea plants, which significantly hinders the weight loss effects.)

Step 4
The tea particles are then sorted through and another quality check is preformed, where only a certain percentage of the harvest leaves are included into our premium weight loss formula.

Fact:

We are one of the ONLY companies from the west to own a piece of Mt. Wu Yi Shan, and one of the ONLY distributors to supply AUTHENTIC Wu-Yi tea. DO NOT ACCEPT CHEAP IMITATIONS – DO NOT GET SCAMMED.

Long before I became a trainer and avid nutritionist I was interested in the effects, both positive and negative that food had on the body. This interest led me to the University of North Carolina to study nutrition and physiology and gain a better understanding of the effects one had on the other. While at UNC, one area that peaked my interest was the topic of antioxidants and the role they played in scavenging free radicals and lowering inflammatory responses produced during and after training.

Effective training is a balance of stressing the body and then giving the body the tools (nutrients, antioxidants etc,) it needs to recover and repair from those imposed stresses. As a trainer, I help my clients achieve their goals with specific metabolic training, and as a nutritionist, I recommend an array of natural organic foods especially those high in antioxidants to combat free radicals and inflammation produced from training.

Tea, specifically Wu-Yi, has been one of my “secret” tools (nutrients, antioxidants etc.) in helping my clients achieve their training goals. High amounts of polyphenols, found in Wu-Yi, help mobilize fatty acids, aiding in better body composition, and catechins act synergistically to aid as a potent antioxidant.

Wu-Yi tea has become one of my top recommended supplements because of its many potential benefits for the body, especially the ability to speed fat metabolism. Wu-Yi has my stamp of approval and I believe that it can aid anyone looking to improve his or her health through proper nutrition and training.

Our premium slimming Wu-Yi tea is a rare type of oolong tea. And as oolongs gain popularity, the medical community is also becoming more and more interested in getting to the bottom of its magical weight loss properties. You and I know how the medical community is never satisfied without some rock solid, lab-proven FACTS, so here are some results we’ve dug up:

A study done by scientists from Japan’s University of Tokushima School of Medicine found that people who added a cup of oolong tea to their diet each day burned over twice as much fat as those drinking green tea.

Another study completed at the Suntory Research Center in Osaka, Japan revealed yet another anti-obesity property of oolong tea. The results showed that drinking oolong 15 minutes before consumption of carbohydrates curbed the sharp insulin spike that those prone to weight gain experience after eating carbs. Again, for those of us without medical degrees, insulin has been pegged the body’s “fat storing hormone”, and having a spike of it every time you eat sugar or starch is essentially the Achilles Heel of weight loss.

With Wu-Yi, you may finally be able to lose weight in those stubborn areas… Your belly, your thighs and chin. :)

Why are we so confident you'll reduce your body fat fast? Because already so many of our happy customers are reporting stunning weight-loss results. This tea is truly remarkable. You've got to see it to believe it. We promise it will be the best weight-loss product you've ever tried, or your money back... better than any diet...
better than Alli, ephedra, hoodia, green tea...
BETTER THAN ANYTHING AVAILABLE!

Here is a small sample of more scientifically documented benefits you may experience by drinking this kind of tea daily...

1) May brighten skin while improving skin clarity: The academic journal Archives of Dermatology published a new study done by researchersfrom Japan’s Shiga University of Medical Science, who found that drinking half a pot, or just two cups, of oolong daily showed dramatic natural improvements to one’s complexion within just one month.

2) May fortify your immune system: An extensive study published in a 2004 issue of the scientific journal Antioxidants & Redox Signaling depicted how test subjects who consumed oolong daily were found to have a stronger immune system and a significantly lower risk for infections such as the common cold.

3) May promote stronger, whiter teeth: by significantly inhibiting plaque deposition, the Department of Dentistry at Japan’s Osaka University determined oolong to be a valuable aid in ensuring teeth remained strong while acting as a natural and powerful whitener.

4) May enhance body-mind wellness: Perhaps the greatest testament to the benefits of Wu-Yi is the fact that it has been used by Eastern civilizations for centuries. If something doesn’t work, people quit using it. It also appears in the esteemed Chinese pharmaceutical book Bencao Shiyi (the equivalent to the Western Materia Medica), which says tea “will make one live long and stay in good shape.”

5) It is 100% Natural and Organic: The vast majority of “fat-burners” these days are made in a lab with complex chemical compounds which are chalked full of free radicals. Our Wu-Yi is 100% organic (pesticide-free), and a significant contributor to a healthy diet. Keep in mind, Wu-Yi does contain some caffeine, about as much as a cup of green tea but less than a cup of coffee.

Listen: Up until now, most weight loss products have been, at best, disappointing, at worst, outright frauds. And even though all the facts and case studies on this page speak for themselves, the reality is if you’re like most people I know you’ve probably been disappointed and victimized by fad diets, cheap drugstore pills, meal replacement shakes, diet experts and diet books in the past. So I can understand if you’re still skeptical.

That’s why, if you qualify, I’M NOT GOING TO ASK YOU TO PAY FOR IT until you’ve had the chance to put it to the test for yourself and see with your own eyes what it can do for you.

In my opinion, you can’t possibly understand just what it’s like to…

- Look in that dressing room mirror and not recognize the person staring back at you.
- Go to a party confident, secure and outgoing knowing your new body looks great.
- Or jump into a swimsuit you once thought you’d never fit into

… until you’ve lost weight through Wu-Yi tea. And I don’t think you should have to decide anything until you first see for yourself what a difference this amazing tea can make to your life. So, I want you to let me take the risk for a change.

That’s right!

Everybody else says “Buy from me. Give us your money.” I’m saying, do the opposite. Let me allow you to evaluate the results before you invest a cent.

As you’ve seen from the real-life examples and documented research on this page, many people believe Wu-Yi tea is the most powerful fat fighting formula in the entire world. It is effective. My family uses it. My friends use it. And this slimming secret has been used in China for over 400 years.

However, I am not making this free trial available to everyone. Why? Because this is the time of year when stock is running low, and I want to make sure that only those who will reap the greatest benefit from our slimming tea receive the remaining stock.

Well after my divorce I decided that I needed to do something for myself. I gave WU-YI tea a try and lost 24 pounds! I no longer need these size 12 pants. I am now happily wearing a size 6. I'm actually thinner than I was in high school and I feel great.

Thanks WU-YI!

Cured of Depression in 3 Minutes

2007-12-24T09:06:00.000-08:00

Warning: Do not buy any antidepressants until you read this!

You can be permanently
cured of depression in 3 Minutes!

What no one else has ever told you about how antidepressants and depression really work.

You are going to be shocked.

From: Mike Freeman
Date: December 24, 2007

Dear Friend,

My name is Mike. You might be wondering how come I know how to cure your depression or why I am putting this web site up? Well, let me explain.

I used to have terrible bouts of depression where I would fall into these deep funks for long periods of time. It was very painful and really hurt me, my family, and my friends. I'm sure you already know that there's always more than one victim with depression! It hurts the people you love around you, too.

These dark periods would make my life very difficult as far as accomplishing my goals, getting anything done or enjoying my life. Of course this meant that it became a viscious cycle. I got to where I was very suicidal, too.

I was so depressed I would go between apathy (not caring about anything) to pain of depression, back and forth and live my life that way. I tried everything. I tried all the stuff that everybody knows about. You know, antidepressants and supplements, and counseling.

None of that stuff had any real effect. In fact the antidepressants was scary and dangerous as heck. You need to look up the side effects and deaths related to antidepressants. I figure I am lucky to be alive after trying that stuff. Just check it out on google. Look up "antidepressants side effects".

...And then one day when I actually was not depressed I got to talking to a man who told me the secret to curing depression. I could not believe it was that simple. It was so quick easy that I just could not believe it.

There were no drugs involved. This cure does not have anything to do with brain chemistry... well actually it has everything to do with brain chemistry, but it is all on the inside. It involved no counseling. It was instant. I took less than 3 minutes to feel completely better.

To be honest I decided it was too good to be true, and so I totally forgot about this cure.

Well, a few months later right on schedule I became deeply depressed again. No surprise here. It had been happening to me for years. It is funny how when you are not depressed you kind of forget how it was to have been depressed.

Let me tell you it was a doosy. I had "good reasons" to be depressed but then we always have "good reasons" to be depressed. That is actually part of the way our brain creates the depressed cycle, but more on that later.

Anyway here I was going from watching TV so I could forget my pain to sleep and eat. I was feeling really bad, really down in the dumps and for some reason, I just remembered what my scientist friend had told me months before. At first I thought, "You know this is stupid".

BUT The cure is so simple and quick that even in my depressed state I decided what the heck I would try it. So I turned off the TV and there on the couch I tried it.

And Click. Just like that my depression was gone. It was AMAZING! I felt better in just a few minutes! It was a miracle!!!

Like I said - I had a "good reason" to be depressed. I had had a major business crash. But after flipping the "switch" it just didn't matter. What mattered was getting myself going and making my next success happen. (Which was very easy once I WASN'T DEPRESSED ANYMORE.)

I had a new lease on life, and without antidepressants. I felt like I could finally deal with my recent set-backs, and that I could fix them. I didn't have to lay around in a pit of dispair and pain anymore.

To think that I had been depressed simply because I didn't know this one little secret! Can you imagine driving your car all of your life without realizing that you had a clutch, or more than one gear? Just because you don't know about something doesn't mean it "doesn't exist". I knew there had to be some reason why so many people were passing me on the road of life.

I didn't realize it at the time but what I had done was flip a simple switch in my brain from [Depressed State] to [Living State] and the minute I did that my brain started "pumping" endorphins and natural anti-depressants into itself.

But let me tell you, the fact that I didn't know how it worked (at the time) made no difference to me. I'm going to explain exactly how it works to you, but even if you don't understand it will still work for you. Having my scientist friend explain it to me so that I could understand just made it a lot cooler.

It all has to do with a "switch" in your brain that you're completely unaware of. It's like when people try to wiggle their ears: some people just can't do it because they can't visualize the necessary muscle moving. Still, for other people it's no problem. These would be like the people you have probably met in your life that just seem to be happy all the time. They just do it naturally, without thinking. Fortunately, I know I can easily teach you how to flip this "switch" yourself.

How do I know I can really teach other
people how to use this switch?

Well, I'm enjoying life to the max now, and so I often have friends ask me, "You used to get depressed all the time! What happened? You are unflappable and happy all the time now?" Every once in a while I would tell a friend about the "switch", and every time I did they would be like "Whoa! Mike I can't believe this stuff. That's too easy." Then one of my friends would get depressed, either because of something difficult happening in their lives or sometimes simply due to natural biological cycles. And either on their own, or with a little more prompting from me, my friends would try the "switch" .... And....

It worked every single time!

Unlike antidepressants, which only works for some people some of the time.

I now have some very happy and successful friends. Remember what I said above about how people with greater reserves of intelligence and creativity tend to have more problems with depression. Well once the "switch" is fixed and the depression is cured, getting what you want out of life becomes MUCH MUCH easier.

I suddenly had one of the keys to a happy life. But it was my personal cure. I would just tell friends who I thought needed it or friends who would ask me about how well my life was going now. I never had any desire to change the world or be famous (you will never see me on a talk show). That's just not my thing.

So why did I create this website?

:-) Well....

I have this one very dear friend who lives in a different state than I do. I have known him since grade school. He makes his living on the internet. He is a pretty major genius, but he had just had a run of bad luck with his business and then he had some troubles with his now ex-wife. Needless to say, life hadn't been good for him for a bit.

He became VERY depressed. Remember now that with geniuses the higher your creative IQ (creative intelligence) is the greater your tendency will be to get depressed (This is explained on the CD.)

I thought, "I have to help him!" What kind of a friend would I be if I hadn't at least tried? So I actually flew out to his house because he wasn't even answering his phone. I was actually afraid he might be dead when I got there. Thankfully he wasn't, although I did have a tough time getting to him. He had the doors locked at his home, and wouldn't answer the door bell.

I decided the heck with it. He's a friend and I could easily afford a new window if he got pissed about it. So I broke in. The place was a stinky, dark, mess. All the curtains were pulled closed. Do to lack of airflow it smelled musty and nasty. There was random trash and antidepressants containers all over the floor. The couch had clothes strewn across it. Thankfully it didn't smell like decay.

I walked around and found him in a spare bedroom, just laying on the floor. He sat up and said, "Hi Mike." I always find it weird how some people will try and hide the fact that they are depressed even when they are VERY depressed while still others will wallow in it and tell everyone. He was very stoic, but this was NOT normal behavior for him,and his depression was very obvious regardless of his efforts.

I talked to him for a few minutes. I told him about the "switch". And because he was so far down it actually took a few minutes to convince him to try it. I basically badgered him into trying it before I would let him go back to sleep. I made trying the "switch" his path of least resistance.

And...

Click he was cured. He nearly started crying he was so happy. I sort of sent him off to the shower and started cleaning up the spare bedroom so I would have a place to stay so we could visit for a couple of days. I wanted to get the most out of my flight, as I hadn't seen my friend in over a year.

After his much-needed shower he wanted to take me out to a steak dinner at his favorite restaurant. He had actually been so depressed that his switch from [Depressed State] to [Living State] left him kind of "loopy" for a few hours. But he settled into a normal and happy state during the dinner. Then he dropped a bomb on me.

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT THAT
FATEFUL DINNER CONVERSATION....

James: "Mike, oh my God you are doing the world a horrible disservice" My first thought was, WHAT!? Here I had just saved his ass. But then he went on to explain.

James: "Mike, You can help so many people. And it would be so easy for you to do."

Me: "Yah, but I don't want to write a book and besides if I did it would probably be too short. besides it is really Bill who found the switch"

James: "Firstly Bill is an even more shy of fame then you are and I am sure he would love it if you would tell more people about his switch heck he would probably write the book for you."

Me: "Yah, but if I Bill or I wrote a book would anyone even read it? I mean if I had handed you a book this morning would you have read it?"

James: "You are right. But if you told people about it they would listen. So you could record a CD."

Me: "OK but how would I get this CD out to people?"

James: "Duh, sell it on the internet. You know I know this guy who could help you. In fact I am sure he would be willing to help you a LOT."

Me: "Do you mean you?"

James: "Yah me, you dork. :-)"

Me: "OK, But if you put up a web site for me how would anybody even come to it? I know that 99% of all the websites out there never get visited. I don't want to put the effort into making this thing and have no one ever see it."

James: "You pay for advertising on search engines like Google and Yahoo."

Me: "You know I would like to help people but I am not really willing to pay money to do it."

James: "You don't give away your CD on the Switch you dork. You sell it for $97."

Me: "Wow, I have just been telling friends until now. I don't know about charging people for it. "

James: "Oh, Don't be an idiot. It really helps people. It works Right? I mean right now I KNOW. I would have paid several thousand for this had I only known it was available. Drug companies make tons of money having people addicted to the synthetic versions of the chemicals our own brains can make. I know I paid a fortune for antidepressants. According to what you told me Bill said this has some major research money backing it all up. Why not have that research benefit people. AND... Why shouldn't you make some money helping people?"

Me: "Honestly I don't think anyone will even buy."

James: "All you have to do is write down your story about this and record the CD. I will do the rest and I if it does not sell then we will just pull down the web page and you will only be out a week or two of work. Of course on the other hand if it does sell enough to pay for the advertising you could really help a LOT of people."

Me: So I decided what the heck. I would write up my story and a little bit of information about the Switch Cure. Let him build the page and see what happens.

As I recall, after this point the conversation digressed to talk about women and as it happened, later that night we went to a club and James was able to secure the phone number of a very pretty girl who he later dated. Talk about restarting life with a vengence. :-)

Anyway... I obviously decided to give this a try, and it worked for me! I have many close personal friends who have done it, too. But Bill has a very successful career, and doesn't have the time to spend on getting this out to people other than close friends. However, I kind of guilt tripped him like James did me. :-) And I got him to secure some of the research for me so I can show exactly how this works. (It's on the CD.)

I should warn you that I might be pressured to take down this page at any time. Keep in mind that pharmaceutical companies make a LOT of money selling people drugs that mimic the chemicals their brains could produce on their own. Everyone who gets THIS CURE will stop putting money into the pockets of these pill-pushing companies. As you can imagine, this creates a certain amount of incentive for these companies to keep me quiet.

If this happens this page could be taken down as early as Midnight on December 24, 2007 .

Sleep disorders
Definition

Sleep disorders involve any difficulties related to sleeping, including difficulty falling or staying asleep, falling asleep at inappropriate times, excessive total sleep time, or abnormal behaviors associated with sleep.

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

More than 100 different disorders of sleeping and waking have been identified. They can be grouped in four main categories:

Problems with falling and staying asleep
Problems with staying awake
Problems with adhering to a regular sleep schedule
Sleep-disruptive behaviors
PROBLEMS WITH FALLING AND STAYING ASLEEP

Insomnia includes any combination of difficulty with falling asleep, staying asleep, intermittent wakefulness and early-morning awakening. Episodes may be transient (come and go), short-term (lasting as long as 2 to 3 weeks), or chronic (long-lasting).

Common factors associated with insomnia include:

Physical illness
Depression
Anxiety or stress
Poor sleeping environment such as excessive noise or light
Caffeine
Alcohol or other drugs
Use of certain medications
Heavy smoking
Physical discomfort
Daytime napping
Counterproductive sleep habits:
Early bedtimes
Excessive time spent awake in bed
Disorders include:

Psychophysiological insomnia (learned insomnia)
Delayed sleep phase syndrome -- where a patient's internal clock is constantly out of synch with the "accepted" day / night phases; for example, patients feel best if they can sleep from 4AM to noon
Hypnotic-dependent sleep disorder -- insomnia resulting from building tolerance to, or stopping, certain types of sleep medications
Stimulant-dependent sleep disorder -- insomnia resulting depending on, or stopping, certain types of stimulants
PROBLEMS WITH STAYING AWAKE

Disorders of excessive sleepiness are called hypersomnias. These include:

Sleep apnea
Narcolepsy
Restless leg syndrome
Periodic limb movement disorder
Obstructive sleep apnea
Central sleep apnea
Idiopathic hypersomnia
Respiratory muscle weakness associated sleep disorder
Sleep apnea more commonly affects obese people, but it may affect anyone with a short neck or a small jaw, regardless of weight. The disorder causes breathing to stop intermittently during sleep, resulting in the person being awakened repeatedly. People with sleep apnea often have difficulty achieving prolonged deep sleep. This results in excessive daytime sleepiness.

Narcolepsy is a condition of daytime sleep attacks as well as other features that may include sleep paralysis and hypnagogic hallucinations (hallucinations that happen at the time between wakefullness and sleep). Sleep attacks occur despite adequat

Make Your Christmas Raw and Merry This Year: Raw Christmas ebook

Introducing Raw Food, Right Now's
Raw Christmas ebook!

Yes! It's finally done!

After roughly 40 hours in the making, we have completed an ebook we are extremely proud of. We received so much feedback, questions, and demands for raw Christmas recipes that we couldn't let you down.

We're not going to give you a long and feisty sales pitch, so let's make this short n' sweet!

Included in this ebook:

Over a dozen tasty, amazingly delicious and festive raw Christmas recipes! No need to give you so much you aren't going to use them all. These are just our best. Includes: Instant Egg Nog, Macadamia White Cheddar Cheese Ball, Meaty Nut Loaf with Sun Dried Marinara Sauce, and of course...more!

Substitutions! We saw a lot of raw Christmas recipes on the web that include lots of crazy ingredients. We've got a few in here that you may not have, but we've included lots of substitutions so you can use every recipe.

Lots o' Holiday Tips! Real world, usable tips for dealing with the family, what to do about alcohol and parties, and more!

Our recipes are quick and easy! You may have heard this before, but we are dedicated to it. Most recipes out there that claim to be quick and easy are either not quick, nor easy, or they are so quick and easy...they suck. Our recipes are quick and easy enough to make without sacrificing quality. Let's face it, you can't make that dehydrator go any faster, but you don't need 10 ingredients per recipe either.

Full page, full color beautiful photos of each recipe! We are disappointed when we get a raw recipe ebook and there are either no photos or the photos are small and lame. We want to see the recipes up close! Our raw recipes books are like print books. You get the photos!

Your printer doesn't like color photos? No biggie, we've got a text-only printable section. Print it out and take it with you to the kitchen. You can even muck it up!

Get your copy here, fresh off the digital presses: RFRN Christmas ebook

We just wanted to take a moment and let everyone know something about RFRN:

We are not going to do third-party advertising on this blog.

There is nothing wrong with a little advertising, but it can easily get out of hand. We want those who want to support us to get something useful. That's why we love ebooks. We can put together awesome information, tasty recipes, and more together in a format that you can easily download.

And if you don't want it or need it, no problem! Just ignore our little links on the side! The blog is and always will be ad free.

So if you want to know how to support Heidi and Justin S. Ohlander and our raw food blog, you can grab a copy of one of our ebooks.

Wishing you the most amazing Holiday, Christmas, Yule, rest of 2007 and whatever you celebrate. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for everything you have given us this year.

Raw Book Review: Raw Success by Matt Monarch

Our "Raw Philosophy" and Disclaimer:

As you may have noticed, we do not talk about "how to eat the raw diet the right way". Our focus has, and always will be, on information, resources, and news on the raw food lifestyle, with a focus on ways to make raw food simple and fun.

While we do not advocate any particular raw path, we embrace whatever you have found that works for you.

As always: All are welcome here.

That little disclaimer aside, some of our readers might not know that there are different schools of "Raw Thought", so to speak, out there.

When we first got into the raw food diet and lifestyle, we thought "Now here is a simple diet. Just eat your foods raw!" No more calorie counting, carbs vs. proteins, yin and yang, and so on.

Boy were we wrong.

We can safely say that when you start reading raw books, websites, and other resources, you will find almost more differing opinions than in the normal diet world!

No matter what you read and choose to believe, we recommend that you don't let it stop you from eating raw and enjoying the foods you want and that work for you.

Over our raw journey, we prescribed to so many different raw philosophies. We were going back and forth everytime we read something new. It drove us crazy and we almost stopped eating raw completely.

Now, we are not saying that these differening opinions are all bunk. We definitely recommend that you eventually ease into reading these opinions and experiment to see what works for you. If you are new to raw foods, just start simple and keep your transition slow.

Now, on to the review!

Matt's Premise in the Book

Matt Monarch recently sent us a copy of his newest book, Raw Success: The Key to 100% Raw Vegan Longevity. In it, Matt aims to answer this question: why are the raw food pioneers dying between ages 80 and 93? Shouldn't raw foodists be living well past 100?

His primary argument stems from the food philosophy of Dr. Norman Walker, a raw pioneer who touted the benefits of vegetable juices and who might have lived to be 118. Matt believes that if he lived that long, he must be doing something right.

Matt's premise is that your body is always reaching for (and obtaining) a more clean state on a raw food diet. For instance, the longer you have been eating raw, the less food your body will want. And if you follow what your body is telling you, you will become more sensitive to heavier foods and environmental toxins. A long-term raw foodist, Matt claims, can eventually start aging by becoming too clean and not keeping up with flushing out the incoming and ever-present toxins from years of accumulation.

Matt's Solution: How to Achieve 100% Raw Vegan Longevity

His solution to this dillema is roughly the same plan he layed out in his first book, Raw Spirit.In a nutshell, here is Matt's raw recommendations for long-term, raw vegan success:

Eat less food. Especially over time as your body becomes more clean.

The body adapts to what we eat and do not eat. For example, if someone who has been raw for seven years eat a hamburger, the results could be disastrous.

Environmental toxins have a more damaging effect on a cleaner body.

You stabilize by becoming consistent in what you eat day-to-day. He calls this Stabalizing Out. This is basically your raw "set-point".

If we cut out nuts and seeds entirely, we would be too sensitive to the environmental toxins of our current planet.

If we eat a little more than we are used to, we could feel sluggish. Thus some people may start to feel more tired on the raw diet when they eat more than they are used to, but that's because their body is now used to eating less food.

How do we solve this problem and reach a more optimal diet of balance so we can live longer? According to Matt, we need to balance Our Food, Environment, and Cleansing.

For Food, he highly recommends vegetable juicing, which he believes is necessary for long term raw success.

For Environment, he recommends you find the optimal environment for you. For example, if you live in the city, you are going to require more colonics and a higher amount of nuts to combat the extra toxins.

For Cleansing, he believes the #1 reason people do not succeed on the raw food diet long term is because of lack of regular colonic irrigations. For a long term raw fooder, he still recommends at least one colonic a month minimum.

Eating large volumes of sweet fruit will increase fermentation from excess sugar and create an acidic condition in the body.

Eating less quantity is the key to youth. Do this slowly over years, though. Don't rush into it.

So there you are! A quick summary of Matt's new book and his raw philosophy for success. Of course, there is much more to it than our quick summary. We found it an interesting read and recommend you pick it up if you want to broaden your knowledge of the raw food movement. Matt's philosophy is very specific and it is difficult to just summarize it all in one review for you.

Raw Food Gurus Who Believe Otherwise

Now, to be fair raw journalists, we are going to say that there are many, many other raw philosophies out there. They each think they are very correct and the others are very incorrect.As an example, perhaps the most opposing view of Matt's is the 80/10/10, high-fruit diet, with its largest proponent (and creator) being Dr. Douglas Graham. If you want to check out the opposing viewpoint to Matt's philosophy, Dr. Graham recently released a book called the 80/10/10 Diet.

Basically, Dr. Graham's diet is composed of very high amounts of sweet fruits, while consuming very low amounts of raw plant fats (nuts, seeds, avocados) with a high amount of greens. Daily excercise is stressed, as well as sunshine and clean air. Most proponents of this philosophy do not advocate juicing, dehydrating, or colonics (which they are very against).

Please understand that we neither endorse, nor are we against, any particular raw diet philosophy. Our goal is to offer a safe place for all raw foodists to come and enjoy this wonderful lifestyle, in any way they choose to.

It is rare that we will ever bring up the different raw philosophies in our posts, but when a book comes our way, we will do our best to summarize and review it for you.
You have the power to make your own decisions.

Your body is your own, not anyone elses.

The Rachel Ray of Raw Food
The following essay has been something I have wanted to write on this blog since the day we started. And finally, this weekend, I found the words to explain how I feel.

I just wanted to share this essay with you. Perhaps you will understand who I am and what I do just a little bit better.

The Rachel Ray of Raw Food

What is the definition of a chef?

One dictionary definition of a chef is:

to cook, especially in a skilled or professional manner.
(Webster's New Millennium Dictionary)

I guess following that definition, I am a chef. I've never been good with labels, but that does describe what I do. After all, I am dedicated to creating recipes. My recipes are works of art.

I have spent most of my life planning on being a fine artist. My speciality was going to be ceramics, sculpture, clay. And then I met JS, and my life was changed forever. Then again, I found raw food, and everything made sense. Part of my destiny was to create raw food.

Once someone asked me about where I see myself in the raw community, and I spontaneously responded that I am the Rachel Ray of Raw Food. I'm the bubbly, cheerful girl who is passionate with food. I am always full of ideas and energy and inspiration that sometimes I'm difficult to be around. I'm loud, and sometimes so perky that it makes people want to hurl. But that is just who I am. I am me.

Rachel Ray and I are different. Rachel Ray (currently) has dark brown hair. My hair is lighter brown with flecks of golden highlights. I have blue eyes, and her eyes are brown. She's from the East Coast, I'm purely Minnesotan. She is on the Food Network, I am on the Raw Food Right Now network, and now here I'm at Give it To Me Raw network. I couldn't imagine a better place to be.

But Rachel Ray and I have one thing in common: we both love food.

I admit it! I'm not professionally trained. I create food from my soul and express it from my heart. My creations are my works of art, sculpted out of the most beautiful artist supplies in the world - fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. (and a little honey and cacao too!)

At the time I am writing this I have created one raw recipe book. What you may not know is that I have over 100 more recipe books planned out that I am working on right now. I have a lot of work ahead of me, and I am looking forward to completing each one.

I look at each of my recipe books as a series of paintings printed in book form. But you can't eat a painting. That is why I love raw food so much more than my art school days...with food, you can eat works of art.

Rachel Ray has been published, with many books in every bookstore in America. I am currently publishing electronically, and I have specific reasons for this. One reason is that JS and I have started talks with book publishers.

Rachel Ray has how many TV shows? At least 2. I do not have a TV show at the moment, but I am currently working on starting to vlog in 2008. And someday, I hope to have an official TV show on a TV network, because I think it would be fun.

Rachel Ray and I are different. But we share a common bond - we both love food. Here's to the love of food...especially raw food...

I may not be an "official" chef, but I am someone who makes food for a living. And perhaps someday, I will get my honorary credentials from some culinary Institute, but until then I will proudly continue to create my works of art.

I guess I am a chef after all. A chef artist.
And if people are confused, I'll give them this line one more time:

I am the Rachel Ray of Raw Food.

Love,
~ Heidi

Give it to me Raw!

Give it to me Raw!

Does the idea of joining another social networking site make you want to hide in a dark hole and never touch a keyboard again?

Do you really want to sign up for another potential time suck?

Well, if it's Give it to me Raw, you do!

Give it to me Raw is the latest and greatest creation from Dhrumil and his team at We Like it Raw.
Imagine an uncluttered, raw version of MySpace, ripe with raw food folk who are friendly, sexy, and fun...

Take the functionality and raw twist of eat.rawfood.com, strip away the slowness and occassional system errors...

And think of the community of a forum without the flame wars and bad members who take the fun away...

And you have Give it to me Raw!

GITMR was just launched this past Friday and is already shaping up to be an excellent community. As of this writing, there are already 83 quality members, lots of photos, and fascinating content!

According to Dhrumil from a post from the GITMR forum titled Site Announcements & Intensions:

"Our goal here is not to create the biggest raw food community, but rather, the best. So that means:

1) We're going to take our time to grow and make sure that the technology that this site offers supports the end users

2) We'll kick people out who are acting a fool or just here to promote their products

Raw Blog Report: What's Happening Out There?

Julie's Sea Vegetable Salad ingredients..so bright and cheery!

We read the raw food blogs so you don't have to!

Reading time for this post: 5 minutes
Reading time for all linked posts: 20 minutes

Here at RFRN Headquarters, we spend a lot of time reading other raw food blogs. And now with our Ultimate List of Raw Food Blogs threatening to push nearly 200 raw blogs now, we thought we would pass our best picks on to you!

We know you are busy. You don't have time to read all those blogs, so we are going to keep doing this as frequently as enough interesting material comes up.

Let's get right into it!

Here are some recent blog posts by other raw bloggers that we found interesting:

Fruit Species recently made a quick link post to all their exotic fruit reviews. Go discover something new.

Sarah of Going Bananas! has an excellent post about five ways to deal with people who criticize your lifestyle.

Want more Carol Alt? If our recent interview with Carol was not enough for you, Blaq Berry over at Hi Rawkus found two more interviews with Carol for you.

Inspired Raw discovered that the latest issue of Spirituality & Health magazine has a new article on raw food chef Matthew Kenney. According to the magazine's website, the story is "Exciting news on raw foods by chef Matthew Kenney." Hmmmm, that could mean anything. Anyone have a copy?

Julie over at Julie's Raw Ambition posted a very detailed, picture-filled recipe post on an incredible looking seaweed salad. Check out her Scrumptious Sea Veggie Salad.

New Raw Blogs of Note:

A fascinating new raw blog by an unknown lawyer transitioning to a 100% raw food diet. The about blurb on the blog says "Thoughts and experiences on transitioning to 100% raw food from a raw buddhist lawyer (apparently there are more!), along with occasional legal news of interest to the live-foods community." Now this should prove to be an interesting blog! Link.

Fairly new raw food blog Raw Life follows the journey of a mother and her son, who has autism. She has even set up a new site all about raw food and autism called Rawtism.

An extremely good skill to know. It's really important have a sharp knife. A dull knife can slip and you could get hurt.

Raw Holiday Survival Guide

Photo by petithiboux

The holidays are here! The holiday music is playing in every store, and people seem to be coming out from no where to go to their nearest mall and shop till they drop.

But for us raw foodies, the holidays aren't always joyous. For years after finding raw food, I felt like the month of December was always about other people. It is their holiday. It never felt like I had any holiday spirit any more. And then, last year, something changed inside of me, and I got excited about the holidays!

What I Discovered About the Holidays

I discovered some things out that changed how I looked at the holidays forever. And I can't hold in my excitement any longer. That is why I decided that I wanted to reach out to you. You read this blog, but you might want more than just the posts we write!

Together, we are going to take charge of this holiday season, and make it our best one ever! I mean it!

After all, what if you made the holidays whatever you wanted them to be? What if the holidays means you eat green smoothies everyday...because you like it?!

I want 2007 to be a year we all can remember as the year we made our dreams come true!

So I decided that I wanted to do something special for anyone and everyone that wants to join me on an adventure - a raw holiday adventure. I've never done anything like this...but I'm goin' for it --- I have created what I am calling the Raw Holiday Survival Guide!

What is the Raw Holiday Survival Guide?

The Raw Holiday Survival Guide is a compilation of a lot of helpful information, tips and tricks and other goodies to keep your inspired to stay raw during the holidays! I've been working on recipes I'm giving away for free, as well as some really helpful tips and tricks on staying raw during the holiday season, and a whole bunch of other stuff too, including helpful gift ideas!

You never know what I may think up next.
With me, there is always a lot of variety!

As always I have lots of ideas, and there is even more stuff I'm not going to talk about now, but I just want you to join me in the fun!

All of this is going to happen via email, in the form of daily email messages sent from me directly to your inbox. Some messages will be short and sweet, others will be full of information or articles to get you thinking. From today until January 1st 2008, I'll be sending off emails of raw holiday inspiration.

And to be a part of the fun...the cost is FREE. Zip. Zero. Zilch. Nada! This is my gift to you. I just want us all to have fun with this!

Are you ready for a daily dose of Heidi?

Where do I Sign Up?

All you have to do is click the link below!

Love,
~ Heidi

p.s. If enough people like this whole daily thing, we may offer daily emails for everyday in 2008! If you want daily emails from us you can show your support by trying out the Raw Holiday Survival Guide!

What is Happening at RFRN: The Rest of 2007
Thanksgiving is over, and the "holiday season" has begun. What will the rest of 2007 look like?

We know many people tend to get a little more relaxed with the rest of the year. After all, many people just want to spend time with their families, or spend time avoiding their families. (We just became Auntie Heidi and Uncle Justin, so we're very excited about spending time with our family this year!)

We just have to tell you that we're not getting comfy watching TV on the couch; instead we will be in the kitchen creating new recipes and in the photo studio taking photos of scrumptious, delicious, mouth watering raw food...and lots, lots more!

What are we working on, you ask?

Here's a sneak peak of what is coming up here in the last stretch of 2007:

We have more articles that will help you eat raw food, right now

We have more fun foodie posts coming

Before the end of 2007, the Ice Cream ebook will be released! We have just finished our last recipe, and now it is time to have the book edited, formatted and finalized. If you liked our Thanksgiving ebook, you won't believe how new and different this book is going to be! If you haven't signed up for the Ice Cream eCourse, make sure you sign up now!

Speaking of ebooks, we are working on some other ebooks designed to help people who have written to us with problems that have kept them from eating raw and staying raw.

We are happy to say that we purchased a brand new digital camera! Right now we are getting used to the new features, and soon we will have bright shiny new photos to share on the blog! Look for an upcoming blog post about our new camera.

A new Raw Food Right Now Radio podcast will be uploaded this weekend!

This last one you won't want to miss.... we have been working on something special for months that we will be releasing on Monday. It's not an ebook, it's not a product, it's not something to buy. It is something we created as a way to give back to the raw community. Check back on Monday to find out the surprise!

We are holding back our excitement with everything we're working on..we just might burst!

Have a great weekend and we'll see you on Monday!

Our Thansgiving 2007
What did we do this Thanksgiving?

Here is a recap:

Last year we spent many, many days working on recipes and writing the Thanksgiving ebook, and responding to the hundreds of people who wanted to make their own Raw Thanksgiving. When it came to Thanksgiving day 2006 we ended up making all of our recipes twice...in the span of a week!

This year we wanted to simplify. Instead of the three days it can take to make all of the Thanksgiving dishes in the ebook we wrote, we spent two days instead. How did we do it? Instead of making ALL of our recipes that we love, we decided to focus on the recipes that we could not live without. For Justin it meant having raw stuffing, and for myself it meant having my deviled egg spread and my Waldorf salad.

The day before Thanksgiving we bought all of the ingredients we would need. Then we made raw stuffing and had a delicious pre-Thanksgiving raw dinner with Justin's Mom. I think the salad that night was the best, with thin apple slices on top of a bed of mixed greens, drizzled with a raw vinaigrette.

On the day of Thanksgiving we made cranberry relish, waldorf salad, some other raw recipes, as well as helped make the other typical Thanksgiving dishes for the rest of the family.

Green Drink on Thanksgiving?

We added a new tradition this year to our Thanksgiving festivities, as we had a delicious green juice before we started eating all of our Thanksgiving dishes. It was refreshing to start with something so light and nourishing, and then proceed to eat the other food we had made. It also helped curb our appetite, and at the end of the day we both felt satisfied although we had probably eaten half the amount of what we would normally eat in a typical cooked Thanksgiving meal.

Due to technical difficulties, we were not able to take photos of our meal, but I assure you it was colorful, beautiful and vibrant this year!

How was your Thanksgiving? Did you blog about it? Share your experience in the comments!

Happy Day After Thanksgiving Day! Hope you're not out there shopping until you are dropping! (Personally, we love cyber-shopping.)

~ Heidi

Lenovo's design follows this tradition with a torch that represents the universal spirit of the Olympic games, while drawing on traditional Chinese symbols and concepts.

Melt Away Fat Like Magic
How would you like to drink away pounds of stubborn body fat and inches from your waistline in as little as 3 minutes a day?
Yes, that's right. Drink away pounds of good-for-nothing body fat and inches from your waistline in as little as 3 short minutes a day!
Sound too good to be true? Well, hard as it may be to believe, it absolutely is true! And we'd like to prove it to you at our risk,not yours.
Here's the deal. Scientific research is now showing that by replacing your regular high-calorie beverages each day with a mysterious oolong tea produced at Mt. Wu Yi Shan in China's Fujian Province, you may enjoy remarkable weight-loss results... in as little as 3 minutes a day (the short amount of time it takes to enjoy this delicious weight-loss miracle).
This deep, rich drink is called Okuma's Chinese Wu-Long Tea, and 37 scientific studies published within the last several months alone show the nutrients in this tea may help melt away body fat; boost energy; and even clarify skin, giving your face a clear, radiant glow. More about these scientifically documented benefits in a moment. But first, to express to you just how certain we are Wu-Long Tea will help you lose weight fast, we're extending to you a special limited-time offer.
We are so confident Wu-Long Tea will help give you the leaner, healthier, more buoyant body you desire that we're putting our money where our mouth is.
If after using Chinese Wu-Long Tea you haven't melted away pounds of body fat and achieved a more slender waistline, simply return your order within 30 days and we'll give you a full refund of your product purchase price... no hassles, no hard feelings.
Why This Tea May Be One of the "World's Most Powerful Fat Burners"
Why are we so confident you'll melt away pounds of stubborn fat fast? Because already so many of our thousands of happy customers are reporting stunning weight-loss results. This tea is truly remarkable. You've got to see it to believe it. We promise it will be the best weight-loss product you've ever tried, or your money back... better than any diet... better than Alli, ephedra, hoodia, green tea... BETTER THAN ANYTHING AVAILABLE!
Here is a small sample of more scientifically documented benefits you may experience by drinking this kind of tea daily...
May Burn 2.5 Times MORE Calories Than Authentic Green Tea: In a new study published in the Journal of Medical Investigation, scientists from Japan's University of Tokushima School of Medicine found that people who regularly consumed this kind of tea enjoyed over TWICE the calorie-burning results of those who drank the same amount of authentic Japanese green tea. Remarkable!
May Help Reduce the Fattening Effects of Carbs: Eating too many carbohydrates causes weight gain by increasing insulin levels. (Insulin is your body's "fat-storing" hormone.) But a new study from scientists at the Suntory Research Center in Osaka, Japan, shows that the nutrients in this kind of tea may help "blunt" the rise in insulin you normally get after eating carbs. This means that you may be able to have your cake and eat it, too!
Helps Clarify Skin; Gives Your Face a Clear, Healthy Glow: In a new study published in the academic journal Archives of Dermatology, researchers from Japan's Shiga University of Medical Science found that the nutrients in this kind of tea helped cleared up skin eczema within just one month.
May Help Fight Signs of Aging: In one 2004 study by Dr. Kenichi Yanagimoto and colleagues from the University of California, Davis, the nutrients in this kind of tea produced a remarkable 50 percent reduction in free radicals (which cause signs of aging) within just 15 days. This is truly remarkable!
Promotes Strong, Healthy Teeth: A new study from the Department of Dentistry at Japan's Osaka University shows the nutrients in this kind of tea may strengthen teeth and help prevent tooth decay by significantly inhibiting plaque deposition.
Helps Strengthens Your Immune System: According to a 2004 study published in the scientific journal Antioxidants & Redox Signaling, the nutrients in this kind of tea were shown to help bolster the immune system, thereby helping reduce your risk for infections such as the common cold.
Enhances Mind-Body Wellness: Perhaps the most notable testament to the power of Wu-Long comes from the esteemed Chinese pharmaceutical book Bencao Shiyi (The Compendium of Materia Medica), which says tea drinking "will make one live long and stay in good shape."
100% Natural & Nourishing: Unlike artificial "fat burners," Chinese Wu-Long Tea is natural and nourishing to your health. Many users report feelings of increased focus and well-being after drinking this delicious health-promoting tea.
What People Are Saying...
"Wu-Long Is My Favorite Fat Burner... Period."
"As the long-time Editor-in-Chief of Muscle Media magazine, I've extensively researched and studied the effects of various fat-loss agents, and Okuma's Chinese Wu-Long Tea is far and away the best there is. Myself, I've noticed amazing results from using Okuma's Wu-Long Tea. It's the only fat burner I believe in and use. Accept no cheap imitations!"
David Kennedy, Contributing Editor, #1 New York Times Bestseller, Body-for-LIFE Editor-In-Chief, Muscle Media magazine
"I Lost 10.5 lbs and 2" in My Waist!"
"I was really concerned that Wu-Long would not work for me because I was already a healthy weight. I have used Wu-Long for just 3 weeks now and have lost 10.5 lbs, 2 inches in my waist and 2 inches in my thighs and hips. Also, my skin has a nice glow that I haven't seen in a while. I am completely satisfied with my results and would recommend the tea to anyone."
Patricia Barnes, via email
"This Tea Is Truly Clearing Up My Skin!!!"
"Wow! Unbelievable! This tea is truly clearing up my skin!!! All of my current acne has been diminished and no new blemishes have come up! I love the tea ball that comes with it. And yesterday when I went on my daily speed walk I had triple the energy, and as gross as it sounds, I was sweating so much I could tell I had an internal 'fire' that isn't usually there... my cheeks even got really hot! And I love Wu-Long as iced tea. I add a packet of Sweet and Low and it's so yummy!"
Rachel Kline, Tampa, FL

I Lost 37 Pounds!
After the birth of my daughter I found it very difficult to loose the weight I had gained during my pregnancy. I was miserable because I had never been overweight and just wanted the weight off. So I decided to go online and research a fast, safe and effective weight loss supplement and Okuma's website came up and I was immediately intrigued.
After reading the extensive information I found on Okuma's website I decided I had nothing to loose except the unwanted extra pounds that I had gained. Needless to say, after only 6 short months of taking 2 cups a day of Okuma's Wu-Long Slimming Tea along with light exercise and a healthy diet I have lost 37 pounds. I have never felt better! The tea is just amazing! Of course the reason why I had bought it initially was to loose weight but now I continue to purchase it just to maintain my weight loss, to maintain a healthy immune system, and for all the other amazing health benefits Okuma Slimming Tea has to offer.
Thank you Okuma for discovering Okuma's Wu-Long Slimming Tea! I will forever be your customer.
Best Regards,
Karina Haufler
I Lost 44 Pounds!
Almost one year ago, in July '06, I could barely squeeze into a size 14 skirt and top by wearing a hot and very uncomfortable spandex body slimmer! By August of '06 it was too tight to wear at all, and I decided something had to be done.
I noticed an article on a local TV station's web site about slimming tea. It caught my attention and sounded very promising, so I ordered my first box of Okuma's Wu-Long Slimming Tea.
I began drinking two cups a day and began to lose about one pound every week. I consistently lost an average of 4-5 lbs a month between September '06 and June '07, totaling a loss today of slightly more than 40 lbs.
I have gone from 171 lbs down to 127 lbs without sacrificing anything! I am thrilled to be replacing my wardrobe with 6's & 8's instead of those 14's. The beauty of it is that I have done nothing else besides drink one cup every morning and one cup every night. I have continued eating my favorite foods such as chocolate, pizza, burgers, etc., but am now satisfied with slightly smaller portions. I also feel much better, have more energy, and no longer crave those in-between-meal snacks.
Everywhere I go people who knew me as 40 lbs heavier are asking me what I am doing to lose all this weight. I tell them I am drinking Okuma's Wu-Long Chinese Slimming Tea!
Roxanne Martin Lost Over 50 lbs with Wu-Long!
"I have been drinking Wu-Long Tea since February 2006. And I know that it has been the key to my weight-loss success.
"At 299 lbs, I knew I had to do something, but I also knew I needed help and a jumpstart to get me going. I went online to find healthy recipes and one of the sites I went to was Rachael Ray... and your link was there on her site. I figured she must be on to something since she's cooking and eating all the time... right? So I checked out the site and I was impressed by the many claims, so I ordered my first package of Okuma's Wu-Long Tea.
"I was skeptical. I thought, 'How could this mild flavored tea deliver so many wonderful health benefits?' But I kept on drinking!
"I did modify my diet but not drastically. I basically omitted fast food and eating out every day at lunch time. I bring my lunch to work instead and eat smaller portions of healthier foods. I do allow myself to splurge one day a week on anything I want, but I still drink my tea.
"I am currently at 250 lbs and still shrinking! Besides the 50 lbs I have lost, the biggest thing I have noticed is the inches that I have lost all over. I believe it's the Wu-Long Tea flushing the fat from my body. At 299 lbs exercise was very difficult and painful on my back and knees. I also went on a Mexican vacation in April and ate and drank my way through 8 days but kept drinking my tea. I lost 3 more pounds during that time. I was shocked! Okuma's Wu-Long Tea was still at work flushing the fat, and I was still shrinking inch by inch.
"With 50 lbs gone and my energy up from the tea, I have started walking for 20 minutes a day, every day, and I know the fat and inches will continue to fall off. I am so grateful for Wu-Long Tea. I will never be without it. I will send before and after pictures when I have completed this journey. At the end, the fat will be gone but not my Wu-Long Tea!"
Best Regards,Roxanne Martin
"Wu-Long Tea Is My Secret Weapon for Staying Slender"
"I had such a hard time losing the weight after the birth of my daughter. I then started drinking Okuma's Wu-Long Tea, and the pounds just melted away! I credit my winning a national beauty pageant partly to Okuma's Wu-Long... it's a lifesaver!"
Stormy Brettmann, Beauty Pageant WinnerManaging Partner, Okuma
New Hollywood Success Story!
I am an actress/comedian and I struggle to keep my weight off for the camera. I was in Starbucks and I overheard a woman asking for Wu-Long tea. After hearing her comments I ran home and searched the internet and ordered it. I have been drinking Wu-Long for 2 1/2 weeks and I have lost 10 lbs! I get compliments on my hair, skin and my mind feels clearer! Oh, and I just booked 2 feature films! I will be a life time supplier!"
Shay Brown, Hollywood Actress
"We LOVE Wu-Long Tea!"
"In the two months we have been using Wu-Long, I have lost about 10 to 15 pounds, and my husband about the same!"

How To Drop 20 lbs in 3 Weeks
Is it really possible to lose 20 lbs in just 3 weeks?
As the popular weight-loss show "The Biggest Loser" goes to show, yes, it absolutely is possible. Keep in mind, however, that it is not easy to achieve these kind of results.
It takes vigorous exercise; low-calorie, nutritious eating; and a positive "can-do" mind set. Also, Okuma's Chinese Wu-Long Tea can help give you that extra boost to propel you toward your goal.
Also remember, that this amount of quick weight loss will be a combination of reduced body fat and a loss of excess water, which a lot of people tend to store in their body... especially when they are consuming a high-sodium diet.
Accept No Cheap Imitations!
Due to the overwhelming popularity of our Original Wu-Long Premium Slimming Tea, a number of cheap, low-quality "knock offs" have been popping up on the Internet; Please, don't be fooled by these inferior imitations! They are not the same tea. They are rip-offs.
The quality and nutrient level of our Wu-Long is far superior. That's why people who use our Wu-Long experience spectacular slimming results.
Remember, we are the only supplier of 100% pure, premium Authentic Wu-Long Chinese Slimming Tea... Accept NO Imitations!
