Body no be wood: we say no to colds n flu naturally

Winter is around the corner, and as seasons change our bodies take strain and act out. Colds and flus are the most common signs that our immune systems are taking a beating. So beat the sniffles and dose up on Vitamin C. You can get yours in potent doses in grapefruit, oranges, lemons, kiwi fruit and believe it or not, tomatoes. All that colorful stuff. Fruit juice, smoothies, sliced into cereal &/ yogurt, in salads, as stuffing/sauce if you eat meat, baked with muffins/bread...just juice up! Add to the mix honey (in tea with lemon slices or to sweeten cereal, even on toast) and ginger and your immune system can thank me later.

Health and Hair-scapades - the grow out challenge

The state of one's hair and skin is often (but not always) an indicator of what's happening in the body and mind. I have notoriously problematic skin and have tried too many products to mention. My hair was also showing some strain so I did a mini-chop and revised my health habits. Exercise, at least 2L water a day and eating as close to earth as I can = happy naps. Spot control is steadily en route
