Lose Weight While You Sleep

There seems to be a connection between sleep loss and hormonal changes that affect appetite so I have a few tricks that may help you lose weight while you sleep, all of these products where recommend on the Dr. Oz show.

Another possible reason for weight gain may be increased stress levels, which may make it more difficult to overcome negative thought patterns and develop effective coping strategies surrounding food and eating. This may encourage poor eating habits and subsequent weight gain.


The Foam Core Pillow
Designed for patients with acid reflux, problem breathing, poor circulation, hiatals hernia, back or neck problems all which cause sleep deprevation, so get a good night sleep with one of these wonderful pillows.

Bucky's Eye Mask and Ear Plugs
These will block out all the light and noise, light as a feather, slim-line and very stylish, the sweet dreams sleep and relaxation mask is a molded contoured sleep aid that offers full comfort without any pressure to the eyes.

Sound Machine
Use it to sleep better all night long at home, the Marpac machines operate mechanically rather than electronically, which in my opinion is a more reliable way to go.

Mattress Cooling Pad
The pad is filled with innovative cooling crystals that draw heat from your body and decrease body temperature by up to ten degrees to help you cope with night sweats, hot flashes and fevers.

Magnesium and Calcium Supplements
A Magensium and Calcium supplemtns are great for relaxing you and the nervous system.
2 drops of Valeriam root in some passionflower Tea, is a great natural remedy to a restful nights sleep.

Anti Alzheimers Diet

Besides healthy brain foods, spices and herbs can protect our brain cells as well. In addition to adding color and flavoring to our foods, they add potential health benefits from their antioxidant and other effects.

Garlic lowers cholesterol levels and blood pressure. Ginger may lessen pain in patients with arthritis, and several herbs and spices are believed to have cancer-fighting properties. Because of their strong antioxidant properties, herbs and spices may help protect our brain cells from the wear and tear of the aging process. Spices include oregano, vanilla, cinnamon, parsley, basil, and pepper.

Many people like Indian food, which contains the potent antioxidants turmeric, cumin seed and curry. For thousands of years, curcumin has been produced from turmeric, and used to make spices (curry, mustard), food coloring, and medicine to treat a variety of ailments. In part because of relatively lower rates of dementia in India compared with other countries, scientists are considering if eating curried foods might protect the brain from Alzheimer’s disease.

What we eat clearly affects our mental function and may be critical to maintaining brain health and delaying the onset of Alzheimer’s disease. As we continue to learn about how our diet can protect our brain health, keep in mind the following strategies for your Alzheimer’s prevention diet:

• Emphasize complex carbohydrates and whole grains while avoiding processed foods and high-glycemic index carbohydrates.

• Calories count when controlling body weight, but individualize your diet plan to meet your needs. Low carbohydrate diets offer quick results, but it’s usually best to combine a high-fiber carbohydrate and a protein for longer-lasting satiety.

• Eating omega-3 fats from fish at least twice a week not only protect the brain from Alzheimer’s but also stabilize mood and fight off depression.

• Antioxidant fruits and vegetables are great brain foods. You can eat them fresh or dried, or drink them in juice form.

• Healthy proteins from fish, poultry, lean beef or soybeans fortify muscles, satisfy hunger, and provide essential amino acids.




Anti Aging Products

Anti aging products can cost a fortune, so what is the best anti age cream on a budget? I was watching the Dr. Oz show and he suggested several inexpensive anti aging products, that work just as well as some of the more expensive brands.

St Ives Timeless Face Moisturizer smoothes skin collagen elastin facial moisturizer is made with collagen and elastin proteins. It hydrates for visibly softer, smoother skin; you will see an instant difference in your skin when used daily to help slow down the aging progress.

You will be amazed at how quickly this cream works within days I noticed a drastic difference in my skin's appearance and texture. The severe dryness is gone and the fine lines are as well. The brightness and texture of my former years have returned. I'm delighted and proud of the success I've achieved with this product. This is a large generous jar and the price is exceptional. This product is a must add to your cosmetic.

Mature skin has its own specific needs. As we age our skin becomes drier, thinner and less elastic than before due to the aging process. As you reach 30/ 40s just a plain moisturizer or a hydrating cream won't be enough for your skin, you should begin using an anti-aging cream in order to slow down the aging signs.

It’s very important to have a skin product that mentions moisturizer and has a SPF in them, check out some of the most inexpensive anti aging products recommended by Dr. Oz.

Dr Oz  recommends the L Carnosine supplement that helps keep the skin supple and mind sharp and reduce fine line wrinkles.

Another anti aging product recommended is Dickinson's Witch Hazel (Pore Perfecting Toner) leaves your skin feeling softer, more refreshed, and most importantly, cleaner it also helps acne.

I also appreciate that this is a 100% all natural product. It contains no dyes or chemicals that could possibly affect your skin.

The product is non-drying, this product contains alcohol. Therefore, it will dry out your skin. It did dry my skin slightly, but that was easily remedied. Using a moisturizer after washing your face will take care of the dryness.

Dickinson Witch Hazel is the low price. It's difficult to find effective skin care products that you can use daily with minimal impact on your wallet.

This product doesn’t smell very good but is truly amazing in its simplicity and overall effectiveness.
The second products highly recommend if you are on a budget is Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Swivel Stick with Vitamin E. Handy for Purse or Travel. Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Swivel Stick is for Marks, Blemishes and Rough, Dry Skin. Palmer's moisturizes dry, chapped lips.

Not only does this lip balm soothe and improve dry, chapped lips, but it also helps smooth and alleviate the dry skin, marks, and blemishes throughout the rest of my body as well. This product's ingredients are: Cocoa Extract, Mineral Oil, Microcrystalline Wax, Cocoa Seed Butter, Tocopheryl Acetate, Fragrance, Benzyl Alcohol, and Carotene.

Check out some of the other Anti Aging Products on a budget and the secret that Dr. Oz highly recommends is having 2 aspirin per day as an anti aging remedy.
