Encinitas Family Brings Healthy Food FROOTS Franchise to Community

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Davie, Florida (April 2, 2009) – Proving that food does indeed bring families together, Simon Holt recently joined his family in opening a FROOTS quick service restaurant in Encinitas, the first FROOTS location in California. Located in the Encinitas Village Shopping Center, this restaurant brings a variety of smoothies, healthy gourmet wraps, salads and paninis to the community.

Simon and his father-in-law, Merv Morris, found FROOTS while researching business opportunities on the internet and were immediately taken by the quality of the foods offered. “Encinitas is our community,” said Simon. “We live here; our children are in school here. Any business we would bring to our own community had to be something special and we’re very proud to be owners of a FROOTS franchise.”

Simon and Merv are joined in their FROOTS ownership by Simon’s brother-in-law, Brett Bohannon, and Merv’s wife Michelle. The Morrises live in Solana Beach but have much of their family in Encinitas. Merv manages his own consulting firm and Michelle is a mortgage broker. “We feel fortunate to have found FROOTS,” said Merv. “We believe it is the perfect fit for this dynamic community.”

FROOTS offers diners a real change from typical quick service menus. “Their tag line is, “Eat. Drink. Be healthy.” Offerings include everything from gourmet soups to jerk chicken or tofu garden wraps, to Greek salad with humus. Specialty beverage choices include fresh squeezed juices and 100% natural mixed fruit smoothies. For those in need of a little extra boost, FROOTS offers Red Bull® smoothies, mixing fresh fruit with the caffeine, vitamin and energy drink. For the body conscious, performance smoothies, combining protein, fat burner or energy enhancing powders, are available. Green tea and wheatgrass shots are also served.

“Encinitas is one of the most beautiful and active cities in the world and we knew that we wanted to offer food that could satisfy active people and health-conscious families,” added Simon. “We hope people will stop in so that our family can welcome theirs.”

5 Insider Beauty Secrets Other Women Don’t Want You To Know!

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

Imagine what you would do if you knew miracle working
beauty secrets. And if you had the self confidence that comes
with being beautiful.

Now before you laugh and say
you’ll never be beautiful, listen up.

I know
where you’re coming from! At one time I didn’t know any beauty
secrets. Before I learned any beauty secrets I was plain, even
bordering on ugly.

I had acne, chapped lips, weight
issues, wardrobe disasters, and not so white teeth. But thats
all become past with the 5 beauty secrets that have changed my
life.

But I pulled through them all and learned some
valuable beauty secrets as a result.

Now people are
always commenting to me on my beauty. Saying I should be a
model, etc…. And guys are no longer even an issue! I don’t
have to look for them, they come to me.

It turns
out the best beauty secrets are those that are won by personal
knowledge and experience. Not just by reading general tips in
magazines.

So by experimentation over the years and by
perseverance, I’ve found out what really works and what
doesn’t.

Beauty Secret 1

Unchap/beautify your lips with this trick.

For
soft, beautifully kissable lips, you need the
following: a washcloth (I’m not kidding either), warm water, and
your favorite brand of lip balm.

First you apply a coat
of lip balm. Then wet one corner of the washcloth, put the warm
wet corner of the washcloth between your lips, press them
together and hold for 5 seconds.

Then gently massage
any remaining lip balm from lips with the wet corner of
washcloth, and dry lips with a corner thats dry.

Apply
lip balm again to keep your lips chap free. You may also apply
lipstick or lip gloss on over the layer of lip balm.

I
learned this was the best way to keep lips from chapping, after
going through too many winters with dried, and chapped lips.

Beauty Secret 2

Clear your acne, and get
beautiful skin.

For clear glowing skin, a little
home remedy does wonders for my complexion, as it should with
yours too.

Steam your face for 20 minutes every night
after washing it, then every other night after steaming your
face, massage a half teaspoon castor oil over face.

Leave it on at night while you sleep and wash off
immediately upon waking. Steam face for twenty more
minutes in the morning after washing. When you finish steaming
your face splash your face with cool water and dry it.

If your skin starts to show any signs of a pimple forming. Take
one night off from steaming and applying castor oil and apply
Benzoyl Peroxide over face.

Take the next night off
also from the steaming, castor oil, and benzoyl peroxide.
Continue facial regimen with steaming and castor oil the
following night.

This beauty secret will moisturize
your face at the same time it will help clear up acne and
pimples. But only if you work at it consistently.

Beauty Secret 3

Good taste in clothes.

When shopping for clothes try to stay away from really
big prints, or weird mixes of colors (eg. green, pink and blue
flowers combined on a white background, for instance).

Clothes like these just scream “I’m color blind!” And if
you in fact, actually are color blind, always shop with a friend
who isn’t and has good taste in clothes.

Buy basic
colors. Solid reds, pinks, blues, whites, and blacks. Or things
with small tasteful prints and designs.

Then mix and
match each basic color with a corresponding one (blue goes well
with white, pink, and sometimes with red, and different shades
of the same color almost always go well together).

Put
these beauty secrets to use, and start seeing the benefits
today. Be sure to read Part 2 of this article, which contains
the last 2 beauty secrets.

In Part 2 I’ll teach you the
beauty secrets for whitening your smile without draining your
bank account. And how to use clothes to your advantage by hiding
figure flaws and defects.

Understanding Drug-Food Interactions

Tuesday, May 25th, 2010

A drug-food interaction occurs most commonly when the consumption of a specific food or beverage affects the activity of a drug or consumption of the drug affects the activity of the food or overall nutritional status.

When a food alters a drug’s activity or vice versa, the affected compound is changed in aspects of how quickly or how much of it gets absorbed into the body, how much of it distributes to it’s site of action, and how quickly it gets broken down or passed out from the body. Such drug-food interactions may result in the individual experiencing side effects, toxicity or not getting full benefit from the drug or food.

Dieting – Try These Healthy Foods

Friday, May 21st, 2010

Include these healthy foods in your diet. No matter how much weight you are working out to loose or gain, these healthy foods will enhance any diet. Do not mind about the added calories, they are so minimal. To think of it, most food contains calories. The benefits you get from these foods are great.

Let us drink to your health
Water for the body is good. Water with flavoring? As Rabbis usually says, we could look at that in different ways. Funny sometimes are Rabbis but actually there is too much wisdom in that. You see, you will never go wrong with water. No one does. Any water that is not needed by the body gets out of the body. The more is flushed out, the cleaner our system gets, and the healthier we become. What should be bothering is what we mix with the water.

Fruit juices? Okay but make it natural. Juices squeezed out of fresh fruits do wonders for the body. It has some calories but the benefits far outweigh whatever the added calories. The sugar in fresh fruits unlike processed sugar is good. The calories derived from it give constant, steady burning energy unlike table sugar that gives sudden energy boosts and the feeling of tiredness afterwards. Because of the natural sugars, the feeling of being full lasts and so we feel hungry less. If the diet leans on strict adherence, do not buy bottled juices or powders. There are so many other additives in it that may upset your dieting program. This is the time where you should read the label. Read the fine print too. You may be getting more of the additives and less of the fruit juice. Most fruit juice preparations are so watered down, perked up with additives, highly sugared and not worth much in the healthy foods department.

Coffee Yes. Coffee are very rich in antioxidants. Antioxidants benefit the body in many ways. One of these is the slowing down of the aging process. Now, eating food that are rich in antioxidants may not shave off years to our looks but it makes our body function better. But limit that to a few cups because of the caffeine.

Then We Feast
Eat avocado and no, do steer off it because of the fat. The fat in avocado is good and considered in nutrition circles as “healthy Fat”. Avocado is one of the richest in fiber especially those that are fully ripe. Actually the more mature it gets the better the fiber.  It is one of those rare food that are very filling without calories. Just like coffee avocados are very rich in antioxidants less the caffeine. It is also an excellent source of Omega 3 fatty acids. Avocados could be a complete meal when mixed with milk. It also blends very well with many different kinds of food like salads, guacamole, tortilla etc. This is not a boring health food.
If avocado tops in fiber, walnuts top in Omega 3. Good as salad and pastry toppings, it is also a good portable snack. Hemp oil is almost similar in benefits.
Likewise, apples, potatoes, oats, Brazil nuts, and fishes of the fresh water/fatty variety are healthy foods that you will never go wrong even when you eat plenty.
