An Apple A Day

An apple a day lowers your odds of breast tumors by 29 percent.  Even better:  Research suggests eating 3 apples a day can cut your risk by 38 percent.  It’s best to consume whole apples though, instead of drinking apple juice.  The most helpful antioxidants are in the skins.  And a simply delicious way to load up on antioxidants?  Baked apples!  Try this recipe I got from AllRecipes.com.

For this recipe you will need:

• 4 tart green apples
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 4 tablespoons butter
• 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Scoop out the core from top of the apple, leaving a well. Do not cut all the way through. Stuff each apple with 2 tablespoons brown sugar and 1 tablespoon butter. Place in a shallow baking dish and sprinkle with cinnamon.
3. Bake in preheated oven for 15 minutes, until sugar begins to caramelize and apples are tender.

Hopeful

My husband may have given up but I haven’t. For years, he had battled against hair loss to no avail. He had tried almost everything without success. With the advances in science, I am sure that we can find a solution to his hair issue. Many hair loss products have come out. One of these could be his savior. It really doesn’t bother him but you know how men are. Hair is a big issue for them. I remain hopeful that something will work for him someday.

More Pills

As I continued with my weight loss program, I came across a lot of pills. Many promised some incredible results. Not familiar with these medications, I relied on online research. Many sites have reviews of these pills. Pills like usplabs oxyelite pro has many reviews that enumerate not only the benefits but the side effects as well. In the end, self-medication is unsafe. I relied on the best source of information I can find, I consulted my doctor.
