Dear 16 Year Old me

I may have posted this before.

But I think the message can be repeated.

If you are planning a holiday trip 

please skip the tanning bed

pack your sunscreen

and check your skin. every day.

Dear 16 year old me

want a healthy glow?

Its bathing suit season....

and if you are anything like me your pasty winter skin practically reflects sunlight like a mirror.

Instead of running off to the tanning booth to expose yourself to dangerous, skin damaging, wrinkle causing, skin cancer growing UV rays...

eat your veggies!!

Fight the Flu Part 4

Sick of hot water with lemon?

Drink hot water with 1-2 Tbsp of Brewers Yeast

It might be pretty gross and bitter BUT it can help fight off the flu, diarrhea, and respiratory illness.

It is packed full of B vitamins - B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B3 (niacin), B5 (pantothenic acid), B6 (pyridoxine), B9 (folic acid), and H or B7 (biotin).  (but no Vit.B12 -which is found in meat products)

It can also help support the nervous system, help maintain the muscles used for digestion, and keep skin, hair,(it may even prevent the graying of hair) eyes, mouth, and liver healthy.

If you are taking any medications though, make sure to talk to your doctor before you start taking brewers yeast because it can interact with a lot of medications.

It also has not been tested on children - so maybe still with the hot lemon for the kids!
