The Princess of Wales brings Awareness to Holistic Healthcare Upon Completion of Three Peaks Challenge

Image
The Princess of Wales completed the Three Peaks challenge over the weekend.  The challenge involves a blend of driving and trekking through three of the highest mountain peaks in England, Scotland and Wales--Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Yr Wyddfa. The challenge areas cover 23 miles of walking distance along with a 462 mile drive between each peak.   The challenge is open to the public and many aim to walk to the summit of the peaks within 24 hours.  However, the trek is so grueling and extensive that only 40% of the individuals attempting the challenge are able to complete it within this timeframe.  It is recommended that individuals desiring to complete the Three Peaks Challenge engage in strength training over a period of eight to twelve weeks. Whether Catherine engaged in strength training is unknown but she has always been quite athletic.  Not only did Catherine complete the challenge--she is part of the smaller percentage of people who were able to comp...

How Halle Berry Weaned Herself off Insulin as a Type 1 Diabetic

Halle Berry is one of Hollywood's most well known women who has starred in many of box office topping movies. Halle Berry is an ageless woman. One would never believe that she will be turning 54 next month.

Halle was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes and revealed her diagnosis to the New York Times in 2006. It was during the shooting of a television show in 1989 that she fell into a diabetic coma for several days after which she received a diagnosis of diabetes type 1. Individuals with type 1 diabetes are born with it but Halle believes that her type 1 diagnosis became a type 2 diagnosis.



Halle credits the keto diet for her good looks and for freeing her from having to take insulin.
"I’ve managed to wean myself off insulin, so now I like to put myself in the type 2 category," said Berry. The keto diet entails high consumption of fats and minimal to no consumption of carbs which leads to the body burning fat instead of carbs for fuel. Sugar can place the aging process on a fast track. Halle also stated that she limits her sugar intake.
Halle engages in body weight exercises along with other workouts such as yoga and pilates four to five times a week. She prefers to utilize different workout regimens instead of sticking with just one.

"I switch it up because your body gets used to the same exercises and you have to kind of--you know--trick it every six or three months," said Halle in a statement to ET.

It’s Earth month folks! Happy Earth Month! This is one of the best months of the year where we spend most of our time giving back to our earth.  It can be difficult finding 100% natural perfume companies and fragrances.  After coming across a few articles over the years about natural or clean fragrance companies, the list is usually very short and there are only less than a handful that are spoken of.  The truth is that there aren’t that many that are out there.  Many of them are located overseas where standards and protocols for products designated for human consumption or usage are much more stringent and stricter.    Green News Guide has spent some time identifying natural, clean and sustainable fragrance companies in the USA and abroad.  I've compiled close to seventy natural or clean fragrance companies.  Many of these fragrance companies are committed to policies or missions that take into consideration the health of our planet.  I'm pr...
