Remove this food from your diet and watch the changes to your body and mind!




There is one food that is said to be the culprit to putting on weight as well as slowing your brain down and making you forgetful.

If you can eliminate it from your daily diet, you will quickly lose weight and your brain will be sharper.
So what is it?


Simple – Sugar!

The worst thing is – that sugar is very addictive!

David Gillespie the author of Sweet Poison was 40kg overweight, lethargic, sleep-deprived and the father of four, with twins on the way. He knew he needed to lose weight fast, but he had run out of diets – all had failed. After doing some reading on evolution (why weren’t our forebear’s fat?), David cut sugar – specifically fructose – from his diet.

He immediately started to lose weight, and kept it off. Slim, trim and fired up, David set out to look at the connection between sugar, our soaring obesity rates and some of the more worrying diseases of the twenty-first century, and discovered some startling facts in the process.

Sugar was once such a rare resource that nature decided we didn’t need an off-switch – in other words, we can keep eating sugar without feeling full.
  • In the space of 150 years, we have gone from eating no added sugar to more than a kilogram a week.
  • You would need to run 7km every day of your life just to not put on weight as a result of eating that much sugar.
  • Two decades ago 1 in 14 adult Australians and New Zealanders were obese; that figure is now 1 in 5.
  • The ‘natural’ sugar in one glass of unsweetened fruit juice per day for a year is enough to add just over 2.5kg your waistline.
  • The more sugar we eat, the more we want. Food manufacturers exploit our sugar addiction by lacing it through ‘non-sweet’ products, such as bread, sauces, soups and cereals.
Eating a diet high in added sugar over the long term alters your brain’s ability to learn and remember information. However, the good news is that eating nuts and fish such as salmon can counteract this disruption.

Wishing you a GREAT sugarless day!

Can you be too rich or too skinny?



You know the old saying, ‘You can never be too rich or skinny”.

Personally I have never had the experience of being too rich – but I wouldn’t mind finding out!

But can you be too skinny – absolutely!

That is if you are over 40 and not naturally slim.

As we age we lose the natural collagen in our face that keeps our face looking youthful. If we become too skinny the first place to age you will be the face! As there is not any of that natural collagen too plump the face up, and no you cannot get this from skincare products despite their claims.

There is only one to put collagen back into your face and that is with injecting it, and of course you would never do this to your entire face.

You can use a cold laser light to rebuild your natural collagen or use the ageLOC Galvanic Spa that will re-turn on your youth genes to lift and firm your face.

So the answer to the question is – yes – if you become too skinny as you age - you will look ten years older rather then ten years younger. A little weight on the face does not hurt you as you age – it will keep you looking younger for longer!

The question you have to ask yourself is this – what do I want to like my best – my face or my body? Either opt for a slim body and aged face or a rounder body and a younger face – the choice is yours, unless of course you use the ageLOC Galvanic Spa - then you can have both!

Wishing you a POSITIVELY FABULOUS day!

World Cancer Day what causes it also is the cause of premature aging…



Today is World Cancer Day and listening to the CEO of The Cancer iHeard explaining what their scientific studies tell us cause cancer as well he was busting all the myths about what cause cancer. It was very interesting. But what struck me was that the 3 very things that cause cancer are the 3 very things that will age a person prematurely!

They are:

  • Sun
  • Smoking
  • Bad Diet


I know we have heard that before. But the truth is the truth!

Just for the record these are some of his myth busters about causing cancer, he said these do not cause cancer…

  • Deodorants
  • Artificial Sweeteners
  • Plastic Bottles
  • Stress


As he said about stress. It is NOT stress that causes cancer BUT stress leads to poor lifestyle choices that cause cancer!

But those 3 cancer things are the top premature aging things too!

SUN: Sun will age your skin up to 20 years –in other words you will look 20 years older than what you really are! Simply because you over baked your skin in the sun! So simple to avoid!

SMOKING: Smoking will age both your inside and your looks by up to 15 years. So not only will your insides be old so too will you look 15 years older. It is never too late to stop!

BAD DIET: Well we all know what a bad diet does - it puts on weight! Putting huge stress on your internal organs thus causing health issues that age you both internally and externally. Whilst an obese person may look like they don’t have as many wrinkles because they are puffed out with the fat, they still look old because they cannot move like a youthful person can! It is better to be a bit slimmer with a few wrinkles and be healthy, than obese without wrinkles but very unhealthy!

The way we look and feel is in our own hands! It is quite simply up to us to look after our self as no one else is going to do it for us.

I hope you have a GREAT day!

She was once known as the Bikini Girl – but a lifetime of sun and cigarettes have taken their toll on Brigitte Bardot.The greying goddess is a textbook example of the long-term dangers of too much sun and too much smoking and bad diet choices.



Smoking what many once thought of as glamorous is destroying you from within!

Brigitte Bardot a long time a heavy smoker says she eats little and nibbles on chocolate for lunch.
