Let’s move on to another one of my all time favourite snacks, carrots. They are sweet, crunchy and full of the stuff that keeps you looking young!!

Yes Young!!

It is a powerful anti oxidant and its anti ageing, which helps to keep the skin protected against sun damage and wrinkles.

In fact carrots reverse the effect of sun damage on the skin. Carrot juice has been found to have considerably less benefits than actually eating carrots themselves. In addition carrots help you lose weight because your body uses more calories digesting it than it provides.

They contain a large amount of beta-carotene, which gives it its orange colour.

After many years of trying an un mentionable number of products that promise to stop hair loss I have found one that actually works!

Rassoul is a naturally occuring clay from under the Atlas mountains in Marocco.
It is rich in Silica and Magnesium and is fantastic for reducing dryness in skin and improving the clarity and elasticity of skin.
a great product that contains Rassoul is a facial scrub by Lush Cosmetics called Dark Angel.

You will notice results immediately. Use twice a week or 2 to 3 times a week if you have oily skin for exceptional results.

Cranberry snacks

These semi dry Cranberry's make an excellent snack in between meals and provide a long list of health benefits. You can eat as much of them as you like without worrying about calories. They are sold in most super markets and all health food stores under different brand names. 

Possibly the best body scrub on the market today!!

I have been trying these products from Boots and I have to say they really do what they say on the package!! the Body scrub is sooooo good it is almost unbelievable. It has totally eliminated my one dry elbow from leaning on my desk while I work on the computer. I have tried many thing to remedy the dry skin but this did it in one week.. definitely worth getting..

Lemon Grass

Lemon Grass and Ginger tea is probably the most potent antioxidant and cancer fighting tea you could drink.

Smash some lemongrass and put in boiling water with some freshly cut ginger and boil for 15 minutes. Strain and drink it either as it is or with some honey.

It also help with intestinal problems and digestion not to mention provide an aromatic scent through out your home.


 

Parsley

Here is something you may not know about Parsley!

It has three times the Vitamin C of Orange and twice as much Iron as spinach. 2 table spoons of it will provide 150% of the recommended daily intake of Vitamin K. It is also super rich in Folic acid.

So I have created my own special pesto sauce that you can use either with pasta or over salad to give you a super healthy option and an alternative to the traditional pesto.

2 bunch of Parsley
1 bunch of coriander
1 bunch of mint
1 clove of garlic
a hand full of pine nuts
half a hand full of cashew nuts
juice of 1 lemon
Juice of half a lime
Half a tea cup of olive oil and half a tea cup of corn or other oil


Put everything in to a blender add salt and pepper for seasoning and blend.

you can make large quantities and keep in the fridge or divide them in to smaller portions and freeze them.
