Zico Coconut Water


Zico Coconut Water is a new find for us. Always trying to purchase natural _vs_ chemical products we decided to give this product a try. It is now being sold in the USA under a couple of different labels. Zico is a very tasty alternative to the regular sport drinks that we use. Easy on the stomach, tasty, easy to transport, good value also. It is loaded with Potassium, phosphorus, magnesium and some salt. Try it sometime, you can purchase Zico @ Trader Joes locally. We will buy this product again...

Vegetables for everyday eating...


This is a great selection of vegetables and some fruits. Packed with mega nutrition, minerals, vitamins and great flavor also. Vegetables typically contain less calories than fruit. But do not ever skimp on your portions of fruit. Loaded with lots of good carbs that help you move throughout your day. An added bonus for a diet high in fruits and vegetables is glowing, beautiful skin. You will look radiant... and feel better too! Eat well!

Egg Plant


Who knew? This wonderful purple vegetable was so filled with vitamins. I did not. It is good for digestion, tastes good and with anti-aging properties. Also helps the body in the fight against skin cancer. Which in itself is reason to eat lots of it! I for one will have to learn how to cook it! I have a good friend who I'm sure will share her knowledge. Like I always say, more colorful fruits and vegetables should be added to everyones diets. It is so good and healthy for us! Enjoy life!

Anti-Aging Salads from Dr. Oz

On the Feb. 2, 2011 broadcast of Dr.Oz's daily television program he was sharing his news on Anti Aging Foods. Very interesting and sounded like it may even taste good. His top five, were a mixture for a salad. They are: Watercress, Eggplant, blood oranges, eggplant and cucumbers. An added benefit is that it is easy to prepare. That makes it even better for me! You can find more information @ www.doctoroz.com Enjoy this good food, look and feel better!
