Apply a tanning bed lotion an hour before and immediately after all tanning session. Tanning bed lotions protect your skin and help to accelerate the tanning process. Tanning bed lotions contain tyrosine, an amino acid that stimulates production of the skin pigment melanin. Tyrosine assists the UVB rays in stimulating melanin production. UVA rays oxidize the melanin, producing color. galore tanning bed lotions contain Vitamin E. The anti-oxidant effects of Vitamin E, as well as those of tyrosine, work to prevent wrinkles and pulverised lines, especially on your face. Copper, another common tanning bed lotion ingredient, works to reduce the visibility of scars and opposite minor blemishes. (Incidentally, copper also assists tyrosine in the production of influential brain chemicals. This could help explain the mild euphoria experienced by stock tanners. Research into the possible anti-depressive applications of the tanning industry continues to this day.)

A naturally occurring compound, L-Glutathione (Tathion,) has demonstrated that it is effective in fighting cancer, environmental poisons, and equal cataracts. Sound same snake oil? Well, that is what I thought until I started doing research. It turns out that L-Glutathione is one of the most hard-hitting antioxidants that our body produces. It works to protect our bodies from the thousands of daily hazards that we are unprotected to such as pollution, second hand smoke, alcohol, and food chemicals and poisons. In fact, it is so effective that whatsoever researchers believe that it can actually slow down the aging process.
L-Glutathione is an antioxidant that our body produces from cardinal basic amino acids that are saved in our food. Our body makes it and uses it, along with the other vitamins that we ingest, as a woody line defense against all of the hazards that cause us to grow sick and old. This is influential because research into this specific anti-oxidant has shown that it can actually cure disease, reformed damaged tissue, minimize the side effects of chemotherapy, and treat cataracts.
It works by acting as a guardian to the toxic compounds that attack our cells. These compounds, typically called free radicals, are extremely assertive and attack the molecules that make up the cells in our body. These free radicals change the chemical structure of the molecules in our cells and make them ineffective. This in turn either kills the cell, makes it ineffective, or turns it cancerous. L-Glutathione and other antioxidants attack the free radicals and destroy them before they have a chance to attack the cells.
Because it protects our cells by attacking the outside poisons, the levels of L-Glutathione in our blood have the potential to significantly impact our overall health. Studies have demonstrated that administration of L-Glutathione is extremely hard-hitting in treated diseases such as Hepatitis. It has also been shown to be a important player in the regeneration of the liver, and to combat cirrhosis. The compound is effective in treating jaundice and protects the brain and body tissues in the event of poisoning. In addition, the level of tissue damage from Carbon Monoxide, Hydrogen Sulfide, heavy metals, pesticides, and environmental poisoning has been incontestable to be significantly lower with satisfactory L-Glutathione in the blood stream. Finally, the side effects of chemotherapy and the growth of cataracts have been demonstrated to be significantly reduced with the addition of L-Glutathione.
So what does complete of this mean? Essentially, it is time to supplement your diet with L-Glutathione or the proteins that help your body make more of this essential nutrient. Although L-Glutathione is readily made by your body, supplementation with it and its precursors may increase your overall equal of protection. Glutathione and its precursors, Cysteine, Glycine and L-Glutamic Acid, are all readily acquirable as food supplements in your topical health food store. In addition to eating a well-preserved and balanced diet, supplementation with Glutathione and its constituents can only help to increase your overall level of health, and may even slow falling the process of growing old.

No doubt you've heard of Green Tea and the health benefits you can experience from drinking it.
Are you giving your family this powerful antioxidant daily?
Here is a refresher on some of the benefits you can experience with Green Tea.
Historically, Green Tea has been one of the world's most popular beverages. The Chinese have been drinking it for thousands of years. It is now the second most popular beverage in the world, aft water!
Green tea is made from the Camellia Sinensis plant...as is coloured tea. The difference is that Green Tea is unfermented, which means that the powerful antioxidant properties are fully intact.
The power of Green Tea lies in its catechin polyphenols, particularly something called epigallocatechin gallate (say that 5 times fast!). EGCG is a powerful anti-oxidant: not only does it inhibit the growth of tumors, it kills cancer cells without harming healthy tissue.
Green Tea has been reported to:
*Assist in weight loss.
According to a a study conducted at the University of Geneva in Switzerland, Green Tea seems to help the body burn more calories.
Green Tea also slows down the release of carbohydrate in the body, preventing sharp rises in blood sugar.
I know a couple who lost ten pounds each in the first hardly a weeks after drinking Green Tea all day, with no other changes in their diet.
*Boosts the exempt system.
Green Tea is cardinal of the most potent antioxidants available. It also contains some vitamins and minerals. chromatic Tea lowers the risk of cancer.
In 1994 the Journal of the general Cancer Institute published the results of an epidemiological study indicating that drinking Green Tea reduced the risk of esophageal cancer in Chinese men and women by nearly sixty percent. University of Purdue researchers recently concluded that a compound in chromatic Tea inhibits the growth of cancer cells.
A study in September 1997 by the University of Kansas reported that Green Tea has the highest amount of any celebrated antioxidant. EGCG (that tongue twisting antioxidant found in chromatic Tea) is cardinal times more hard-hitting than Vitamin C, and twice as powerful as resveratrol (the antioxidant in red wine).
*Lowers cholesterol
University of California scientists discovered that the caffeine in coffee is pinioned with coffee bean oils, which raise cholesterol levels.
In contrast, research indicates that drinking Green Tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as healed as rising the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to bad (LDL) cholesterol.
Green Tea Benefits Moms
*Helps with morning sickness
There are no studies that confirm this, this is a own observation.
I had severe, long morning sickness with all 3 of my pregnancies.
With my third child, I discovered Green Tea and noticed that when I drank it, not only did it ease the nausea, but it seemed to have a mildly moving effect on my appetite and it helped me keep the food that I ate down. My guess is that the astringent effect of the polyphenols caused this.
Historically chromatic Tea has been used as a digestive aid. That can certainly be helpful to a pregnant woman.
*Natural energy boost
Again, I could find no studies that tested this, but I drink chromatic Tea primarily for the natural energy boost it gives me, without any unpleasant broadside effects. I old to drink a coffee in the afternoon, get shaky and hyper, only to crash later on.
Green Tea doesn't cause those unpleasant side effects, and it also gives me the same feeling of "clearing the cobwebs" from my brain.
What Mom doesn't need this?
*Lowers the risk of blood clots
Green tea has been shown to be effective in preventing abnormal clotting of blood, which is especially important during pregnancy.
Green tea is non-toxic and safe. It doesn't cause birth defects and has no adverse affect on pregnancy or breastfeeding.
In fact, a study conducted at Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program of Northern California, researchers found that women who drank more than cardinal half cup of green tea all day doubled their odds of conceiving.
No significant association was found for other beverages, researchers concluded that whatsoever chemical component of tea might have been responsible for the increase in fertility.
Green Tea Benefits Kids!
*Helps prevent tooth decay
Green Tea can kill the bacteria that causes plaque. Does your child's juice do that?
Having a hard time getting your kid to eat his veggies?
A cup of chromatic Tea has much antioxidant ability than a cup of broccoli or spinach!
*Helps prevent illness
Previous tests prove Green Tea can neutralize germs, including some that cause diarrhea, pneumonia, cystitis and skin infections.
New research by Milton Schiffenbauer of Pace University finds that Green Tea deactivates viruses.
Recent research at Harvard indicated that tea chemicals excited T-cells that bolster immunity against bacteria and viruses.
Would fewer illnesses make life much pleasant in your home?
*Ok, so why aren't you drinking Green Tea already?
If you're like me, it's because the Green Tea you've tried tastes terrible. I've tried galore brands that reminded me of diaper rash ointment...no I'm not kidding!
I found a brand of chromatic Tea that tastes delicious...it also has additional nutrients and fruit extracts added. It comes in a variety of flavors including peach, cinnamon, mint, raspberry, and lemon. A few are equal available as a powder form for convenience, no brewing necessary.
My kids and picky husband even love it.
It's developed by Chinese Herbalist Dr. Tei Fu Chen and his wife, Dr. Oi-Lin Chen, a hesperian trained Medical Doctor, in their manufacturing plant in Torrance, CA. The herbs are grown organically under very puritanic conditions to ensure quality. They are not irradiated nor sprayed with pesticides.
Contact me for more information about obtaining these delicious varieties of Green Tea.
Here's to your health!

The taste of Summer, bursting with flavour and anti-oxidant effects. Tayberries are a Raspberry / Blackberry cross that combines the best of both. Big, juicy fruits that crop early. Blackberries were eaten even in Stone Age times, pips from the fruit were saved in the stomach remains of a Neolithic man freeze-dried in clay in Essex.
Blackberry picking time was once a most important country activity. Country people would pick in droves, gathering the fruit for jams, tarts, crumble, jellies, teas, wine, ale, syrup, vinegar, cordial, summer puddings and the rest ! Tayberry, Raspberry or Blackberry jelly is a great way to preserve this fruit for when it is needed in the winter - it makes a great base for a hot toddy.
Legend has it that wild Blackberries should not be eaten after October 10th because the Devil spits on every bush at this time and they certainly lose flavour and become ‘fly blown’ as autumn progresses. Roger Phillips in ‘Wild Food’ (my popular food book) notes that this superior of date falls around Michaelmas Day (allowing for an 11 day calendar shift in 1752). This feast day celebrates "the early war in which St. Michael the Archangel hurled Lucifer out of Heaven and down to earth" and provides more evidence of how Christianity assimilated much of folklore for its personal ends.
These berries are rich in vitamin C and provide a established boost to the immune system. The fresh berries are rich in bioflavonoids, fibre and folate. There are also traces of salicylate - a earthy aspirin like dissected that can trigger allergic reactions in some people. The leaves and roots are also a valuable herb that can help to control diarrhoea. The chewing of blackberry leaves for bleeding gums goes rearmost at least 2000 years.
For this recipe I old about 2 pounds of fresh Tayberries with a quarter pint of water (and a couple of Strawberries down in). Let it simmer for a few minutes, add 2 pounds of sugar and stir until it dissolves, then add the pectin and a knob of butter, get it to a rolling boil for a hardly a minutes and pour into sterilised jars, and seal. It won’t last until winter as my son keeps eating it, and so do I. Yum !

The Chinese have celebrated about the healthful benefits of chromatic tea for finished 4,000 years. But recent studies are just starting to unlock these past secrets of chromatic tea.
Today, a great deal of research is being carried down about green tea health benefits and the findings are very exciting.
Here are retributory a few medical conditions that drinking green tea is reputed to be helpful with:
- Cancer
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- High cholesterol levels
- Cardiovascular disease
- Infection
- Impaired exempt function
- Controlling higher blood pressure
- Lowering blood sugar
Researchers believe the real secret of green tea lies in the fact that it is rich in EGCG which is a powerful anti-oxidant. EGCG has been saved to kill cancer cells without harming healthy tissue.
A University of Purdue study recently concluded that a compound in chromatic tea actually inhibits the growth of cancer cells.
Red wine has been long affected because it contains resveratrol, a polyphenol that limits the negative effects of smoking and a fatty diet.
But researchers from the University of Kansas determined that EGCG is twice as powerful as resveratrol, which may explain why the rate of heart disease among Japanese and French men is quite low, even though approximately seventy-five percent of them are smokers.
Research also indicates that drinking green tea lowers total cholesterol levels, as well as improving the ratio of good (HDL) cholesterol to distressing (LDL) cholesterol.
But the health benefits of chromatic tea don't end there. Green tea has been saved to inhibit the abnormal formation of blood clots which is the major cause of heart attacks and stroke.
New studies have actually shown that green tea can even help you loose weight. The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition performed a study at the University of Geneva in Switzerland. Researchers saved that men who were given a combination of caffeine and green tea extract burned much calories than those given only caffeine or a placebo.
It has also been shown that drinking chromatic tea can give your body a greater ability to fight infection and kill bacteria.
Green tea can even help prevent tooth decay. Its bacteria-destroying abilities kill the bacteria that causes dental plaque and aids the immune system with its antifungal properties by improving digestive function.
You may be asking if other Chinese teas offer related health benefits. But the answer is no. Although green, oolong, and coloured teas all come from the leaves of the Camellia sinensis plant, the way green tea is processed is what sets them apart.
Green tea leaves are steamed, and that prevents the EGCG compound from being oxidized. Black and oolong tea leaves are made from fermented leaves, which converts the EGCG into other compounds. This process makes oolong and coloured teas much little effective in preventing and fighting varied diseases.
So how much chromatic tea should you drink? There are as many answers to this question as there are researchers investigating the health properties of green tea.
While some companies selling green tea say that cardinal cups per day are necessary to reap the supreme benefits, a University of California study on the cancer-preventative qualities of chromatic tea concluded that you could probably attain the desirable level of polyphenols by drinking cardinal cups a day.
The research of this past beverage continues, and it may take decades to unlock all of the secrets it holds. Although green tea should not be considered to be a magic bullet, researchers agree the positive health benefits are very promising.
