Healthy Diet Plan and my Lemon Water Cleanse ♥



All this past week I have been doing a cleanse along with my healthy calorie diet.
Here are some tips for a healthy cleanse diet plan. One of the little known benefits of lemon juice is its anti-aging properties. The acid from the lemon juice contain concentrated levels of antioxidants, which help flush out toxins and free radicals from the body. The process of detoxing allows proper cell regeneration, which then manifests by way of glowing and younger looking skin. 
  Drinking fresh lemon juice with water aids in keeping the immune system alert and strong against malaldies such as common colds and the flu. Lemon juice simply brings countless health benefits, such as lowered cholesterol levels, normalized blood pressure, reduced blood sugar level, and improved blood flow. Drinking a glass of water mixed with freshly squeezed lemon juice provides a number of benefits for the body, so go ahead..drink up! ♥




Lemon Water Cleanse ♥ 

Ingredients ♥

2 quarts water
Juice of one lemon
2 lemons, thinly sliced
Ice

Directions ♥


Combine all ingredients and and place in fridge for a bit to allow flavors to infuse. Once pitcher is chilled, serve and enjoy! ♥

Healthy Diet Tips 

Foods to avoid
Milk products
Sugar, honey, maple syrup, artificial sweeteners
Coffee
Grains: wheat (bread, biscuits, cakes, pasta), rye, barley, oats, spelt and rice 
Dried fruit

Foods to enjoy
Fruit: any and all fresh fruit
Vegetables: any and all fresh vegetables
Fish: fresh, canned in water or olive oil
Lean red meat, chicken (without the skin). Limit to two serves per week.
Legumes: dried or canned, such as kidney beans, chickpeas, lentils
Eggs: preferably organic
Olive oil (preferably extra virgin), Coconut oil (unprocessed)
Nuts: raw unsalted almonds, walnuts, macadamias and cashews
Seeds: raw unsalted sesame, pumpkin and sunflower seeds
Green tea, white tea, weak black tea (decaffeinated)
Water: from one to three liters of water per day

Now for some of you that have the willpower, here is my lemon cleanse diet.
I started with the lemon cleanse I did for 4 days straight, then followed above with a sensible eating plan. 

Following this diet is quite challenging as you cannot have any solid food during the duration of the diet. The lemon diet drink is to be consumed for around 3 to 7 days. You need to consume around 6 to 12 glasses a day, every two hours. This detox diet is a very restrictive diet and it is seen to cause extreme tiredness, headaches and constipation.

Lemon Cleanse Diet Plan   Ingredients
The main ingredient of the lemon detox diet is freshly squeezed lemon juice. Other ingredients include organic maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water. You can substitute the maple syrup with natural tree syrup and the cayenne pepper can be substituted with ginger root. You also need to have a natural laxative, such as salt water or herbal tea. 

How Does the Lemon Detox Work
The diet helps to cleanse the colon and the digestive tract of toxin build up. An accumulation of toxins reduces the ability of the body to carry out its functions at an optimum level. Lemon juice, which is the most important ingredient in this diet, contains vitamin C, which helps in eliminating toxins from the body. Cayenne pepper, helps in boosting the metabolism of the body, aiding weight loss. Water hydrates the body and flushes out toxins from the body.

Of course if you don't want to do the lemon cleanse diet this is still a great way to have that water every day with a twist of lemon! ♥

Healthy Green Smoothie ♥


 My popular recipe per request from my readers, Here is a way to keep up a healthy you, try my healthy green smoothie recipe! ♥




My Healthy green smoothie is packed full of Kale. Kale’s health benefits are primarily linked to the high concentration and excellent source of antioxidant vitamins A, C, and K -- and sulphur-containing phytonutrients.

Kale has been compared to beef, which is known as a “go-to” food for iron, protein, and calcium. Kale’s anti-inflammatory capabilities are unrivaled among leafy greens, especially relating to the prevention and even reversal of arthritis, heart disease, and several autoimmune diseases.


Omega-fatty acids are called essential because your body needs them to remain healthy, but they need to come from sources outside the body; kale is an excellent source of these healthy fats. Benefits of these often-talked about but little understood compounds include their ability to help regulate blood clotting, build cell membranes in your brain, and protect you against heart disease and stroke. They may also help combat autoimmune diseases, such as lupus and rheumatoid arthritis.
kale is becoming better known in the U.S., not just for the distinctive flavor it brings to soups and salads, but because of the many health benefits it provides. Loaded with vitamins, eating this green vegetable helps you fight cancer, heart disease, autoimmune diseases, and even macular degeneration. With all these good things, it could be what’s for dinner.

Carotenoids and flavonoids are the specific types of antioxidants associated with many of the anti-cancer health benefits. So make sure to try my healthy green smoothie it's perfect for a pre workout or run! ♥

Ingredients ♥

1 handful baby spinach
1 leaf of  kale (discard the stalk)
1 organic banana
3 pieces of  mango
1 tablespoon coconut oil
1 cup of water

Directions ♥ 


Mix this all up in your smoothie machine or blender until fully blended serve chilled and enjoy! ♥

And now for that thirsty thursday recipe, did you know that drinking  wine helps your skin?

According to dermatologist Leslie Baumann,( details magazine) red wine, also blush wine such as zinfandel contains skin-friendly grape-seed extract and resveratrol, two powerful antioxidants.The mechanism is the antioxidants in red and blush wine. Antioxidants sop up damaging free radicals that play a role in aging and age-related diseases. There is a much higher concentration of antioxidants called polyphenols, including resveratrol, in wine compared to grape juice. In wine, the skin and seeds are part of the fermenting process, but both are removed when making grape juice.Wine is part of the Mediterranean diet, which is also rich in fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, nuts and seeds, legumes, seafood, yogurt, and olive oil. This diet is more of a lifestyle that includes drinking wine with dinner. Studies show that the Mediterranean diet is associated with longer, healthier lives.Who knew?
  Here is a cute idea for boozy white zin pops! 

Ingredients ♥ 

½ seedless baby watermelon, rind removed and fruit cut into ½-inch cubes (about 6 cups)
1 tablespoon roughly chopped fresh mint
1 cup white zinfandel 
2 tablespoons agave syrup

Directions ♥ 
1. Purée the cubed watermelon in a food processor or blender until smooth, 10 to 15 seconds. Strain through a sieve set over a medium bowl. Transfer the remaining watermelon purée to a large liquid measuring cup and pick out any seeds.

2. To a small bowl, add 1 cup of the strained watermelon juice (save the rest for another use) and the mint. Set aside for 10 minutes to steep, then strain through a sieve into the watermelon purée. Discard the strained mint.

3. Stir in the wine and  agave syrup.  Divide the mixture among the 10 holes of a 10-pop mold and freeze until solid,( I used dixie cups super easy!)  at least 4 hours. Briefly run the bottom of the mold under warm water before pulling each pop out.voila! ♥

Skinny Strawberry Smoothie and Dublin Vitality Center ♥

 Here is a great healthy recipe for my skinny strawberry smoothie!

A great way to get younger youthful skin is to eat healthy foods. One superfood is strawberries.


  Did you know that a cup of strawberries has up to 130% of the DV of vitamin C, a potent antioxidant that boosts production of collagen fibers that help keep skin smooth and firm. More C may mean fewer fine lines too: Women with lower intakes were likelier to have dry, wrinkled skin. Early research also shows that ellagic acid, an antioxidant abundant in strawberries, protects the elastic fibers that keep skin from sagging.
Super easy and delicious! ♥




Ingredients♥

    1/2 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
    1/2 cup frozen strawberries
    1 tablespoon freshly ground golden flax seeds
    1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
    Stevia to taste 

    1/2 cup cold bottled water

Preparation♥

Place Greek yogurt, frozen berries, flax, vanilla, stevia and water in blender pitcher. Pulse until smooth and creamy. If the mixture is too thick add more water, one tablespoon at a time. blend and enjoy!


We all want to look younger right? 


Today I am teaming up with a great company Dublin Vitality Center. Here is there website www.dublinvitalitycenter.com




I have a degree in Skin Esthetics and found these procedures and approach much more safer then the harmful effects of plastic surgery techniques. Face it even in your 20's, 30's and 40's the effects of wrinkles are already forming. Remember all those summers of laying out on the beach, sun damage is the number one cause of aging skin!

Over time, the natural lines around the mouth and forehead, which are caused by expressions, become hardened and set. Crows feet may appear around the eyes. Laughter lines become pronounced around the mouth. Scars from acne reside and thicken. This combined with time makes the skin appear leathered and rough. To target these problem areas, skin needling is used. The derma rolling device presses gently deep into the upper dermis. This stimulates the skin to begin its own natural healing process. Skin wakes up and begins to fight back against the signs of aging by producing its own natural collagen as well as new skin cells. The results is a softer youthful appearance.

This treatment combines 3 very powerful non surgical
proceedures to create younger skin without the  scary effects of surgeons knife


1. Microdermabrasion - Targets the upper dermis


In the newest type of Diamond
microdermabrasion,http://www.dublinvitalitycenter.com/Diamond-microdermabrasion-dublin.html
a diamond tipped wants gently exfoliates the skin. This technique is
less aggressive than dermabrasion, so you don't need numbing medicine.
It is basically an exfoliation and skin rejuvenation procedure that
leaves skin looking softer and brighter.



2. Mesotherapy - Or skin needling targets the middle layer (mesoderm)

Skin Needling or Collagen Induction Therapy (CIT) is a method by which hundreds of micro channels are created in the skin via a DermaRoller to stimultate new collagen growth and increase pros duct penetration. Skin Needling is a treatment that can reduce the signs of ageing, and treat specific conditions such as wrinkles, fine lines, lack of firmness, pigmentation and acne scarring.
To target these problem areas, skin needling is used. The derma rolling device presses gently deep into the upper dermis. This stimulates the skin to begin its own natural healing process. Skin wakes up and begins to fight back against the signs of aging by producing its own natural collagen as well as new skin cells. The results is a softer youthful appearance.






3. Diathermy is used to eradicate any tell tale broken veins
(www.redveinremovaldublin.ie)

The therapeutic generation of local heat in body tissues by
high-frequency electromagnetic currents.
