30-01-2010 | Posted by: Lonneke Engel Oprah is right again! Tags: What is the best thing to do when you are not feeling well? Chill on the couch, with a blanket and pillow, and watch an episode of the Oprah Winfrey Show! So I did that this week. One of the shows this week, Oprah talked about the documentary "Food Inc.", which made a big impression on her. The whole show was about the reality of our daily dish. Expert Michael Pollan, who was a guest on the show, talked about the status of our food, and the food industry in America ( and also about the worldwide problems) His newest book: "Food Rules", together with "An Omnivore's Dilemma" and "In Defense of Food" are a must read! What is food? What is in your food? Where does it come from? What can you eat? What is healthy? It is hard to know the answers to these questions, and I am happy Oprah focussed on these questions one full episode! She is as keen on this movie as I am, and everyone should watch and have their own opinion. So watch this episode, read the books and facts, and form your own opinion. KNOW what is in your FOOD! Below are links to help you do that. Great show Oprah! www.oprah.com/oprahshow/Food-Expert-Michael-Pollans- www.foodincmovie.com www.amazon.com/Food-Inc-Eric-Schlosser/dp/B0027BOL4G |

29-01-2010 | Posted by: Nancy Bommel Delicious Chocolat! Finally, all of the holiday sweets are out of the house... just in time for another bundle on Valentine's day! Well, this year, why not treat your body to delicious, Fair Trade cocoa butter products instead? You get that wonderful chocolatey smell, super soft skin, and that nice warm feeling knowing that these products make a difference in the lives of cocoa farmers and their families. And, because they're USDA Certified Organic, they are actually good for you! Treat yourself and your sweetie to some "chocolate" this year! Cocoa Butter, in addition to being the basis for both milk and white chocolate, has been used for centuries to nourish and protect all skin types. It stays solid at room temperature but melts easily on to the skin, releasing a subtle dark-chocolate scent. Cocoa butter helps the body to retain its own natural moisture while creating a barrier between the skin and the elements. Most commonly it is used to prevent stretch marks, but it is also highly recommended for extremely dry skin conditions to keep skin supple, moisturized and revitalized. Recent research suggests that massaging the skin with cocoa butter can boost the body's immune system while also alleviating stress. This is because cocoa mass polyphenol (CMP) is present in cocoa butter in large quantities. Cocoa butter also contains antioxidants, as well as being naturally rich in Vitamin E and other vitamins and minerals. Unlike "added" Vitamin E, which generally contains only one tocopherol (and in many cases can be synthetic), naturally occurring Vitamin E contains all tocopherols, which makes it more bio-available and useful to the body.
