Raw Radiant Health

I received an email last week asking me how we can avoid gaining weight as we age. The person who wrote me is about to turn 30 and she’s been told that after 30, people gain weight… I myself have heard this many many many times. I can’t tell you how many articles I’ve read on the subject of gaining weight as we age.

I’ve also done quite a bit of research on senior citizens who take up body building and competitive sports later in life. You have to see them, a lot of them are in better shape than most 20 year olds!! Many of them appear 20-30 years younger than they really are!!

My conclusion– yes, we can gain weight as we age, especially if we eat more and move less, but we can also be the exception, we can choose to have the most incredibly hot body at any age– it’s your choice!!

Weight Gain After 30, Ep86

So it’s summer time and we are constantly hearing that we should cover our skin with sunscreen and protect ourselves from the sun’s UV rays… but is that sunscreen really safe to be using on a daily basis?

I find the topic of sun & skin health to be quite confusing, especially because I have fair skin, burn quite easily and all the information out there is quite contradictory. So over the years I’ve done research on how I can naturally preserve the youthfulness of my skin and still enjoy the sun.

Today’s episode is about sunscreen and tips on how to protect & preserve your wonderful skin!

Oh, and the Cosmetic Safety Database is a great resource if you want to see how safe your beauty products and cosmetics are– check it out!
