It’s important to focus on your diet if you are after a more beautiful body. Eating these foods can not only ensure that you look better, but that you feel better too. So if you want a beautiful body and want to actually be healthier in the process, be sure to focus in on these foods for the very best choices.

1. Yogurt: Not only is yogurt low in calories to get and keep that lean figure, but it’s good for you too. The healthy bacteria found in yogurt is good for your stomach and for your skin as well. Yogurt makes an excellent breakfast or snack, provides great energy and calcium, and ensures that you have that beautiful body that you’ve always dreamed of.

2. Chicken: The great part about chicken is that it offers up all the energy of protein, but at a fraction of the calories. Our bodies need protein to function normally, and when everything is running as it should that means that you get the healthy body you’re after. Include chicken as an excellent protein choice several times a week.

3. Whole Grains: Keep it simple—whole grains just make more sense than eating the refined sugar or flour counterparts. When it comes to a beautiful body, you want the foods that pack a powerful punch and whole grains do just that. They are high in fiber, low in calories, and keep you full longer so they make an excellent option for a lean, healthy, and beautiful body.

4. Raspberries: We all know that fruit is good for us, but some choices are better than others. Raspberries are loaded with antioxidants and that means that we’re getting the active ingredients that leave us simply glowing. Raspberries offer up a healthy dose of the antioxidants that keep us looking young, so be sure to include them in your diet each and every day.

5. Sweet Potatoes: Anytime you eat something with a rich vibrant color, you know that you’re getting something good. Sweet potatoes are especially good for the skin and the hair, so you if you eat these on a regular basis you are sure to get that gorgeous body of your dreams. Get creative with how to include these gems in your diet and watch the results.

6. Water: Though this may seem like an obvious one, people simply don’t drink enough water in a day. Water helps to flush out the toxins, cleanse the skin, and leave the body looking naturally beautiful. Drinking your daily water quota can make a huge difference in your health and your body overall.

7. Olive Oil: There’s a reason that olive oil can be used for various beauty applications because it leaves the skin glowing and gorgeous. Using olive oil in your cooking can mean less cholesterol and more good fat, which is what your body craves. If you want to look good and feel good, then be sure to get your daily quota of olive oil.

8. Salmon: The most important reason for eating salmon is that it contains a healthy dose of Omega-3 fatty acids. This is important because it not only ensures better health through lower cholesterol, but it leaves us looking healthier and younger as well. Salmon should be eaten a couple of times a week for the most benefits.

9. Oatmeal: With a great serving of fiber and fewer calories than most breakfast choices, oatmeal makes an excellent choice. It’s an excellent option in working towards weight loss as its fiber content leaves you feeling full longer. As it is at the center of many homemade beauty remedies, you can quickly see why it leaves your skin and your body looking gorgeous.

It’s true that you are what you eat! If you want to look younger, more beautiful, and look and feel healthier, then these foods make excellent choices. You can eat your way to better health and to a more beautiful body as well!

The theory behind R.G. Skin Revitalizer is to nourish your skin from the inside out. The concept is one that has been around for some time - to take care on the inside and outside. And theoretically it would make sense to include diet, exercise and nutritional supplements as part of a skin care regime. This is not a product I have tried myself, however the idea of taking antioxidants and beta-carotene does not seem too far fetched. It is widely known that a lot of skin products don't really work, but that Vitamin A / carotenoids do appear to have some effect when used in a skin care regime. A nutritional supplement is known to be good for the eyes, this is the standard information given from most vitamin handbooks and websites. It is also known as an antioxidant and an immune system booster. Obviously, everybody's needs are different and it is a good idea to check with your doctor, naturopath or TCM practitioner to find out what kinds of supplements would be beneficial to you. You may want to try this product, you may not. I am not necessarily advocating the purchase of anything without the proper research and checking that is vital with any new exercise or diet regime.

I have tried a whole bunch of vitamins to see if I can find the one that harmonises with my system. Some vitamins are supposed to be brilliant but if they don't specifically work for you, then they aren't much use at all.













Centrum - I tried these a couple of times. I felt no difference whatsoever. In fact for me (you may be different) they were a bit of a waste of money.













Cenovis Women's Multi - I'd say these were average. They seemed to have a tiny effect on wellbeing but not so much that you would notice. Take it or leave it, I suppose.












Swisse Ultivite - Firstly, these were expensive. Secondly, they are supposed to be tested by all sorts of experts etc. - I didn't really notice any difference. Not that great. Of course, these may work for you in different ways, they just didn't really do anything for me.

And the winner is...












Nature's Way Energy Multi
I don't exactly know what the secret ingredient is, but these babies work!! I took one this morning and yesterday and already I am feeling better. They give you a boost like you have just had a sustained-release coffee, without the caffeine of course!! It gives me enough energy to exercise, and also lowers stress levels. These may not work for you in the same way but for me they are perfect.

I tried 2 different versions of these foot patches, BioHeel and Chi.




In my opinion the BioHeel are stronger and the most effective in drawing out toxins.


The Chi patches are for people with shellfish/other allergies so if you don't have these I recommend going with the BioHeel patches.

The patches are adhered to the bottom of the feet overnight to draw out toxins from the body. I was shocked at the state of my foot patches on the first morning!!

Here is a before and after shot to give you an idea.


Yuck!!!!

It's pretty gross, I know - but better out than in!


This Reflexology Chart shows where you can place the patches to address various ailments or concerns.


I prefer to get the patches from BioNatural Australia - reliable and their delivery is speedy.
I considered buying them on Ebay but the cost of postage from some sellers makes it less economical. And I prefer to buy this sort of thing from a real shop.

RRP for patches:

Pack of 10 $21.85 AUD
Pack of 20 $39.60 AUD
Pack of 30 $59.00 AUD
Pack of 90 $159.30 AUD
Pack of 300 $472.00 AUD

Personally I think you would have to be Keith Richards to need the 300 pack but that's just me.

If you haven't used them before you might want to go for the pack of 20 or 30 - that's what I did!

I found myself smoking a cigarette while wearing them and wondered if it was doing any good!?!!?


Anyway enough about me. Here are some links for more info:
