Emily Bear on Ellen 5th appearance

She plays a song she originally wrote for the Children of Los Angeles. She wrote this for them and I quote, "that they may have many, many, many, tomorrows..." "And many, many, many, many, many, many wishes..."

She is simply amazing as her music. She performs this particular piece at the Ellen's Show.





Watch and enjoy...

This is the reason why people include grapefruit in their weight loss programs. High fiber contained by this fruit can satisfy hunger and thus, avoids any overeating temptation.

* Influenza: Grapefruit is a valuable remedy for influenza as it helps to minimize acidity from the system. The bitter properties arising from an essence called 'maringin' in grapefruit tones up the system and the digestive swathe.

* Malaria: The juice or the fruit itself consists of valuable and natural 'quinine' which are advantageous for the treatment of malaria. The quinine can be easily extracted from the fruits by boiling a quarter of grapefruit and spraining the pulp.

The citric acid of the fruit is tarnished in the human body and thus, increases the effect of the alkalinity reaction after digestion. The juice extracted from the grapefruit is beneficial in preventing the acid formation and many other diseases that arise due to the presence of acidity in the body.

* Indigestion: Grapefruit is useful for solving the problem of indigestion. It is very light as compared to other food articles and thus, acts immediately on indigestion by easing the heat and irritation caused in the stomach. It improves the flow of digestive juices, thereby improving the digestive systems.

* Urinary Disorders: Grapefruit juice is quite rich in potassium and vitamin C and thus, works as the best medicine in the case of scanty urination caused due to the liver, kidney or heart problems.

Personally, I have experienced the benefits of grapefruit. From weight loss, fatigue and constipation. I haven't been consuming grapefruit consistently. Only in the last 3 days I have been diligently eating 1 grapefruit a day. Believe me you can tell a big difference about your over all feeling and energy. I will give you an update in 30 days and tell you my progress.

My Own Twist of a Great Ribeye Steak

If you love to eat steaks but wouldn't want to pay a hefty price of eating out. The good news is you can actually do it yourself in the privacy of your home.

It's really simple.

At the end of this article from ehow.com I will share with you my own twist that you will appreciate and enjoy. Your pallet and tummy will be so grateful :)

The Best Way to Cook a Ribeye Steak | eHow.com

Here's my twist:

4 cloves garlic
baby portobello and shitake mushrooms cut into slices.
3 tablespoons of Olive oil
1 teaspoon butter
1/8 to 1/4 cup of Pinor Noir or Merlot wine (self preference)
Steamed asparagus, carrots and yellow zucchini

Use the drippings to saute the garlic medium heat. Add 1 Tbsp of olive oil. When garlic is light brown add all mushrooms and add the remaining olive oil. Season with salt and pepper. Add more pepper. When mushrooms are half cooked add red wine. Once deglazed add butter. Once butter is totally melted - you are done. DO NOT OVERCOOK the mushrooms.

Take out your steak(s) out of the oven and pour all the mushrooms and drippings over the steak(s). Or you can pour over on top of your steamed asparagus, carrots and yellow zucchini.

You also can make the gravy with the same process and ingredients.

BON APPETIT!

Live Chat: Getting Fit without Dieting and Pills

You would like that wouldn't you? What a silly question you might say! Of course, who wouldn't?

On Wednesday, March 30 at 9:00 PST - 12:00 EST a Live Chat with Dr. Andersen who is the Medical Director of Take Shape For Life, Inc. is our chance to know a lot more on how to get fit without dieting and pills.

I hope it's as interesting and informative as it sounds. Be there or be square....

Here's more on the article from the LA Times or simply click on the link: getting fit: to be healthy - latimes.com

Living in Japan while in high school, Wayne Andersen observed the effect that the low-fat Asian diet had on creating much lower levels of obesity, cancer, and heart disease, compared to Western cultures. He also recognized how important family, life-long friends, and a life of meaning and purpose was to these people in their health and longevity.

In college at the University of Florida, he graduated with honors and then went on to medical school at the University for the Health Sciences in Kansas City, where he was valedictorian of his graduating class. Dr. Andersen did his internship at Grandview Hospital in Kansas City ¿ where he later directed the hospital’s surgical critical care program at Grandview and served as chairman of the department of anesthesiology. In 2000, he made a monumental decision to leave his hospital-based practice to devote his full energy to helping people to become and to stay healthy.

See you there...
