DID YOU KNOW THAT...

• Only 25% of how long a person lives is actually determined by their genes?  If you want to be healthy, ask someone that is healthy.  If you want to be wealthy, ask someone who is successful with money.  So logically, if you want to know what it takes to live to be a 100 years old and be happy, then look at the pockets of centenarians throughout the world. These pockets of centenarians are called Blue Zones.  Researchers have studied five Blue Zones.  Common threads in lifestyles exist among the five areas studied.  What can you learn?  Plenty! Learn what you may need to change in your lifestyle to live a longer and happier life.  Read Thrive: Finding Happiness the Blue Zones Way.   Hint:  Family & social connections is one common thread.

• Did you know that the antioxidant value in foods and supplements can actually be measured?  This is an ORAC unit (Oxygen Radical Absorbance Capacity) developed by scientists at the National Institute of Health. It is believed that foods higher in ORAC value may fight age-related diseases and degeneration.  ORACvalues.com
  
  
• Did you know there may be a reason why it is so hard for people with extreme obesity to stay away from junk food?  Research suggests that our brains may respond to junk food the same way we respond to drugs.  If so, that's some pretty strong implications!  Read about the study here, Junk Food as Addictive as Heroin and Smoking.
   
• Did you know laughter can boost the immune system, ease stress, help reduce pain and protect your heart?   Laughter is the Best Medicine    

HERE'S SOME Natural & Easy BEAUTY TIPS I'VE USED: SCARRING -- My daughter was in an auto accident many years ago that resulted in a nasty wound on her face. I used EMU OIL topically after the initial injury.  This strange sounding yet remarkable oil aided in the reduction of her scarring.

I would highly recommend you have this oil on hand should your children or you suffer a wound that may result in scarring.  Please go to Uniquely EMU to find out more about these great products.

• Try Biotin for skin, hair, and nails. I thought I was going bald once!  Not so!.....read my story on the next page in Healthy Benefits.
• Less Facial Wrinkles - sleep on your back. For a change put some pillows under your feet and slightly elevate your feet while sleeping. 
• Reduce appearance of facial pores and increase the tone of your face - take some egg white and cover your face.  Let it dry until you feel your face tugging.  Rinse with warm water.
  You'll love it!
• Soften and moisturize dry brittle hair - mix mayonnaise and olive oil. Work this through your hair and let it set in 10 or 15 minutes.  Obviously, wash this out with shampoo.  You'll love the feel of your hair.  My daughter used this on a severe bleaching of her hair.  It saved her hair!
