Hmmmmm Chocolatess ...



One of the most compelling reasons to make chocolate a part of your regular diet may be for the antioxidants it provides.
 This is why the antioxidant polyphenols in chocolate are so valuable, as they have the ability to stop free radical mediated oxidation.
This helps to decrease your risk of those and other diseases by directly interfering with one of the major preventable causes of chronic degenerative diseases.
 A factoid from ACS's Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry indicates that naturally occurring polyphenols in cocoa, the fundamental component in chocolate, actually boost levels of HDL, the "good" cholesterol, while at the same time reducing the atherogenicity of so-called “bad” variety – LDL – by preventing its oxidation.
Don't Worry - Eat Chocolate Beyond the fact that chocolate contains the feel-good anandamide compound, there are additional clinically-confirmed reasons why chocolate has been referred to as “the new anti-anxiety drug.”
Another ACS study (in the Journal of Proteome Research) revealed that one-and-a-half ounces of dark chocolate a day for 2 weeks reduced stress hormone levels.
Volunteers for the study, categorized as “highly stressed,” were found at the end of the two-week period to have lower levels of the “figh-or-flight” stress hormone cortisol.
 But remember that many chocolate brands are high in sugar, calories and unhealthy saturated fats, so buyer beware.
First, be sure that the chocolate you're eating is dark chocolate.
There is also a big difference in chocolates’ health effects, depending on how much you eat.
As mentioned in the Cleveland Clinic study:

As mentioned in the Cleveland Clinic study:
..Be careful about the type of dark chocolate you choose: chewy caramel-marshmallow-nut-covered dark chocolate is by no means a heart-healthy food option.
Also, please be aware that many popular and seemingly artisan-quality chocolate companies are now owned by multinational corporations who use GMO ingredients, disregard fair trade standards, and otherwise are not interested in supporting organic and sustainable production methods.

Few foods, and certainly not dessert foods, have as much therapeutic potential as this “candy” aisle treat, as evidenced by a wide range of accumulating scientific research linking its consumption to over 40 distinct health benefits
While most of us have heard about the importance of antioxidants, a primer might help, beginning with the explanation that the formation of free radicals – atoms, ions and molecules with unpaired electrons – in your cells can damage your DNA to the point that your risk of developing diseases like Alzheimer’s, heart disease and cancer are elevated.

Be aware that milk chocolate does not have the same healthy effect as unadulterated dark chocolate, because milk often prevents absorption of polyphenols
If you’re craving a decadent chocolate treat but want to avoid the downsides, take a look at this video so you can make your own organic chocolate bars.

As examples, Cadbury Schweppes bought Green & Black in 2005, who in turn was bought by Kraft Foods in 2010. Dagoba was bought by Hershey’s in 2006. You will find this pattern recur quite often if you peak beneath the “wrapper” of the chocolate industry.
So, please remember to choose carefully, and consider whether the companies you support are supporting you back.

How Skincerity® Works

Skincerity® is an undeniably unique product in the cosmetic industry. The cornerstone science of Skincerity® is a revolutionary breathable polymer skin barrier originally developed from research grants* as a delivery system to both deliver and increase the effectiveness of topical medications. As a side effect, patients began seeing remarkable improvement in overall skin health where the barrier was used.

With topical medications removed, the barrier technology was adapted for the cosmetic industry into Skincerity®, a breathable masque that creates an amazingly healthy climate for the skin to rehydrate and rejuvenate itself. Although Skincerity® infuses grape seed oil and Vitamin E into the skin as superb antioxidants, the true magic is in its patented Breathable Barrier® technology that performs like no other barrier technology.

Skincerity® is simply rolled onto the skin as a liquid at bedtime. It cleans the skin and flash dries in seconds to form a flexible, micro-porous masque. This masque remains on the skin for hours, protects the skin’s moisture barrier, and enables the skin to rehydrate by holding in the body’s natural moisture throughout the night, resulting in more supple, hydrated, and smoother skin.

At the same time, the barrier allows essential oxygen to penetrate the masque to reach the skin through breathing holes – tiny holes large enough for oxygen molecules to reach the skin, yet small enough to hold in the larger moisture particles. Skincerity® also serves as an amplifier for other products, allowing rejuvenating agents, such as antioxidants or moisturizers, to remain on the skin longer and not rub off onto clothes or bedding, ultimately making them more effective. Simply apply your favorite products, allow to dry, and top off with Skincerity for optimal results.

Unlike many cosmetic products, Skincerity® does not clog pores and does not irritate the skin. Removing Skincerity® in the morning provides gentle exfoliation that reveals brighter, fresher-looking skin.

Skincerity is a ground-breaking cosmetic innovation. The revolutionary Skincerity® technology ensures the time spent rejuvenating your skin can be maximized in a remarkably nourishing environment, allowing for optimal hydration and regeneration while bringing your skin into proper balance. The advanced technology has been tested on real consumers and has produced real results. These results are supported by research and clinical studies performed at U.S. medical schools.

Skincerity. Dermatologist tested and recommended.

* Skincerity® is a revolutionary one-step breathable masque born out of advancements in topical drug research funded by grants from the National Institutes of Health.

Good Old Plastic Bottle is estrogenic & potentially causing catastrophic biological consequences .

Have plastic bottle will travel !!!
Right ?
Yes we carry them everywhere, every one on the planet does.
But do you know that the  good plastic bottle has also been tested positive for estrogenic activity  .  Meaning what ??  ....  it means that the plastic contents in the bottles can potentially disrupt your hormones and may even alter the structure of our human cells, posing risks to infants and children.....  


Here is a way to know your plastic 
This can be determined through a classification system called the Resin Identification Code, which is the number printed on the bottom of most plastic bottles and food containers. It describes what kind of plastic resin the product is made out of.
  • A classification system called the Resin Identification Code, which is the number printed on the bottom of most plastic bottles and food containers, describes what kind of plastic resin the product is made out of.
  • The most toxic plastics are #7, #3 and #6, while those that may be somewhat safer include #1, #2, #4 and #5.
  • Ninety-five percent of all plastic products tested were positive for estrogenic activity, meaning they contain chemicals that can potentially disrupt your hormones and cause other adverse health effects.
  • If at all possible, seek to purchase products that are not made from or packaged in plastic.
think about the 100 million tons of plastic produced every year on this planet now slowly finding its way into our body, accumulating over time, act now ... purchase products that are not made from or packaged in plastic.
