"Anti-Age" Your Spirit

Since I started to write newsletters and created my website so that I could share my years of research and knowledge of working with Dr. Sears (world-renowned anti-aging MD), there is one area of anti-aging that gnaws at me. 

It’s not really anti-aging it’s actually about aging and how to cope.

So I put a placeholder on my website and called it “Anti-Aging Spirit”.  But it has sat empty.  Every time I visit or edit my site I can’t help but to think about how I need to add something to it … and how important I think it is. 

In my mind, the topic encompasses a lot.

You see, to me it’s not just about how aging changes your looks or your health it’s also about life changes.

If you live long enough there’s a lot that you have to go through.  Maybe you became an empty nester or have to now take care of aging parents.  Maybe it means a mid-life divorce and having to start over.  Maybe it’s dealing with the death of friends or relatives.  Or it’s dealing with an illness.

DIY Dry Skin Recipe:

It’s hard to believe that another winter is already near - which means dry-skin  season.  Even here in Florida the air gets drier and my skin needs a little extra help.  

That’s why I wanted to share with you today my natural dry-skin recipe.

I have tried many natural oils for my skin – almond, jojoba, argan, etc.. While they made my skin look pretty and moist at first, after an hour or so it’s as if I hadn’t put anything on.  In fact, I found them to be drying. 

It wasn’t until I tried grape-seed oil that I knew I was on to something.  

You see, grape-seed oil contains a polyunsaturated essential fatty acid called linoleic acid (LA).  LA has anti-inflammatory properties and the ability to create a barrier against the elements to keep in the moisture. 

I think of it as a winter coat.

Grape-seed oil also has the ability to repair free-radical damage caused by the sun and it enhances human body lipids to maintain proper levels of moisture1.  And you can feel it.

Studies also show that grape-seed oil has wound-healing properties when used topically2.

I have found grape-seed oil to be one of the most hydrating oils.  It also alleviates the pain of very dry skin.  It’s like a big glass of water on a hot day.

It took me a while to find all the ingredients for my dry-skin recipe. Finally, after many years, I concocted one that I love.  It’s simple but it works!

I will even keep a small container near the couch, when I’m watching T.V., for my hands.

Finally a way to shrink fat cells

If you are a regular reader you know I talk a lot about Dr. Sears because I get to work along side him. 

Dr. Sears is a well-known anti-aging and alternative medicine MD.  We research anti-aging remedies from around the world and test them in his clinic. 

Today I want to share with you one of my go-to products when I feel the pounds coming on. 

As we age it’s harder to shed extra weight. But Bali Slim, the product you going to read about, breaks through plateaus and allows you to finally fit back into your favorite clothes. 

It’s my favorite diet supplement because it doesn’t make me feel jittery like so many others. 

I also wanted to make this my product of the week because the holidays are quickly approaching.  I like to make an effort to think about my weight beforehand, instead of having to work so hard to lose those holiday pounds afterwards.  It just makes it easier and healthier.

Also, there is no risk – If you don’t like Bali Slim all you have to do is simply call for a refund.  It’s a no-hassle return policy, no questions asked and you keep the product – easy!!

To a younger more healthy you!

Sandy

“Mama said there’d be days like this, there’d be days like this, my mama said.”

Well, let’s face it, our moms are usually right (and so were the Shirelles).

But what happens when “days like this” turn into weeks, months and even years? 

Is the stress in your life causing you to feel not like yourself, putting you in a constant funk and making it hard to be as productive as you’d like?

Not only does stress feel terrible, more and more studies show that stress wreaks havoc on our major organs and can cause us to age quicker. 

Here’s a list of some illnesses that can be directly related to sustained stress:

Top Anti-Aging Tip, So Tweet …

                      

Recently I was asked on Twitter what my number one anti-aging tip would be?

That was a tough one.  And I only had 140 characters to answer her.

There are several anti-aging tips that I think are important and the question wasn’t specific.  My follower didn’t ask about a cream, a specific treatment or about a supplement.

So, I thought about the question for a while.

You might be surprised to learn my answer.

It’s not sexy.

It’s Simple.

Smell Younger, More Attractive and Thinner

When I first heard the concept, ‘Smell Younger’, I thought this was surely a gimmick by perfume companies.

But, to me, it was still intriguing. 

Perhaps you’ve heard about pheromones and how the hormonal smell can attract the opposite sex.  Since they have an effect I thought,  maybe this wasn't  just about advertising.   So,  I decided to do my own research. 

And I found that …

It’s not all in the eye of the beholder it’s also in the nose.  Some new research has shown that scents can actually make you look younger, more attractive and thinner.

Now, I want some of that !

Smell More Attractive  – the brain receives pleasant smells as an emotional evaluation.  In a recent study, 12 women and six men were asked to rate photos of women on attractiveness.  Simultaneously an odor was released as each photo was presented.  The scents directly affected how each participant rated the picture.  When smelling a foul smell (fish oil was used), the photos were rated much lower than that of the rose smell^1,2.

Having said that, a rose scent is associated with older women.

To  Smell 6-10 Years Younger  –  Studies say, you want to choose pink grapefruit. What’s interesting about this study is that even the participants that didn’t like the smell of pink grapefruit still guessed the subjects’ age 6+ years younger ^3,4 .   Pink grapefruit only works on women .   It does nothing for men – sorry guys!

Other scents used that did not affect the perception of being younger were cucumber, lavender, melon, bananas and spearmint leaves (at least we know what to avoid when trying to smell younger).

Because smells bypass the rational part of the brain and directly affect the emotional center, you can Smell Thinner with spicy florals, pink grapefruit or any other citrus scent.  Vanilla, on the other hand, will make you appear heavier⁵.

One rule in any perfume you choose is to not overdo it because it can have the opposite effect.

If you want to make your own perfume you can find essential oils online and add them to a base consisting of a tablespoon of grapeseed oil  ( or jojoba oil )  and a tablespoon of vodka.

All in all, if you like perfume and it makes you happy you will appear younger.   But adding some pink grapefruit might get you carded ;).

To a younger more healthy you!
