acai berry
Dr. Perricone There is a special berry that comes from an Amazon palm tree that is harvested in the rainforests of Brazil, which tastes like a blend of berries and chocolate.

Although you've likely never heard of the acai berry, it is quickly gaining in populartiy (having been recently featured on ABC, CNN, Fox News, CBS News) since the world famous doctor and best selling author, Dr. Nicholas Perricone, voted it the number one superfood available anywhere on the planet. This product is a natural powerhouse of goodness. And it's not only said to help you lose weight, but to stay healthier and enjoy more energy too.

And after years of scientific research, this 'Acai Berry' is quickly gaining an incredible reputation. Many studies have been conducted on this humble berry, and here are just some amazing things about the Acai Berry that these studies have found out:

  • It has more protein per pound than an egg.
  • It is almost the perfect food for amino acids, and also has critical trace minerals important for muscle regeneration.
  • It has a remarkable concentration of antioxidants including twice as many antioxidants as blueberries, ten times as many antioxidants as red grapes and 10 to 30 times the antioxidants of red wine.
  • It promotes cardiovascular and digestive health as a result of an amazing combination of healthy fats (monounsaturated), phytosterols and dietary fiber.
  • It contains fatty acids which are full of the goodness of monounsaturated oleic acid which when combined with omega 3 fish oils help all your hormones, insulin receptors and neurotransmitters function more effectively. (note: this helps lower insulin levels and reduce inflammantion. Very important, because inflammation casues aging.)

Nobody wants embarassing "love handles"! But will exercise really take them away?

Well... not entirely. You can't really reduce fat in any one specific area. So, even though spot reducing may not disappear your love handles, you can tone and tighten up the area quite a bit.

Of course, you'll have to cut down on calories, eat a healthier diet and start exercising regularly — preferably with a good cardiovascular exercise routine.

...Because if you don't lose some weight, even if you tighten and strengthen the muscles underneath, you won't see your newly buff muscle under those blubbering love handles!

Be patient and consistent — it takes a few weeks to start seeing results... and a few months for others to see results in your love handles. But if you're diligent in doing your love handle exercises along with other aerobic exercise and staying on a healthy diet you're sure to see improvement.

Love Handle Exercise #1

Side Stretch:

  • Stand tall with your feet slightly apart.

  • Raise your left hand over your head and bend to the right (sideways), stretching your oblique muscles (the muscles on the side of your body) on the left side. Go slowly and feel the stretch in the "love handle" area.

  • Straighten up and repeat.

  • After 6 to 8 stretches on the left side, reverse sides and stretch the right side.

  • Repeat.

  • Gradually increase to 10 to 12 stretches on each side (repeated) or more.

Love Handle Exercise #2

Crunch Your Love Handle Away!

This exercise is considered an excellent love handle exercise because it targets your oblique muscles better than other positions.

  • Lie flat on your back with your knees up. Lower your knees to one side without straightening your legs (i.e. keep your heels up near your derrière, almost touching it). Rest your knees to one side on the floor.

  • Clasp your hands behind your head and raise your head and shoulders up about 30 degrees. Go up and down 6 to 8 times on each side in the beginning, repeating the set. Be sure to move from the midriff and feel the stretch in the "love handle" area.

  • Gradually increase to 10 to 12 lifts per set on each side or more.

Love Handle Exercise #3

Crossover Crunch (Alternate Hand-Knee Sit-up):

  • Lie flat on your back with your knees up.

  • Keeping the knees up, place the ankle of your right leg on the knee of your left leg.

  • Clasp your right hand behind your head.

  • Raise your head and shoulders up about 30 degrees while reaching your left hand across to touch just above your right knee. Be sure to keep your chin off your chest and avoid pulling on your neck.

  • Go only as far as comfortable as this exercise can strain the back. Do not force.

  • Do 6 to 8 crunches on each side in the beginning, repeating the set.

  • Gradually increase to 10 to 12 crunches per set on each side or more.

Remember: If you LOVE your love handle exercises and do them every day (or every other day), you'll get a handle on 'em!

The Story and Research Behind Wu Yi Slimming Tea

Wu Yi Tea Wu Yi Tea contains anti-oxidants, many amino acids and has properties that stimulate adipose metabolism. Keep drinking 2 cups a day, but remember to eat regularly, though gradually in smaller portions. Wu Yi Tea will help shed stubborn pounds by boosting your metabolism and blocking the fattening effect of carbohydrates. Wu Yi Tea promotes healthy and radiant skin glow and strengthens the immune system. This is according to Journal Of Medical Investigation, Osaka University.

Studies have shown that Wu long Tea burns over 150% more fat than green tea. People who drank two cups a day of Wu long experienced far greater fat burning results than those who drank the same amount of green tea.

Along with weight loss, it also has the strong medicinal functions in:

  • anti-carcinogenic properties reduce risk of cancer
  • assists in managing high cholesterol levels
  • lowers blood pressure
  • inhibits the abnormal formation of blood clots
  • helps with digestion
  • improves immunity
  • relieves tiredness
Chinese diet teas are amazing, fat-burners! In a study published in the August 2003 edition of the Journal of Medical Investigation, scientists from Japan's University of Tokushima School of Medicine found that people who drank two cups a day of Chinese diet tea experienced over 157% greater fat burning results than those who drank the same amount of green tea.

In the Fall 2006 edition of the Tea Experience Digest, Dr. Saleeby reports that Chinese diet tea "in fact lessens absorption of fats, increases the body’s metabolism and is responsible for noradrenaline-induced lipolysis (breakdown) of adipose tissue." Wu Yi burns stubborn body fat naturally converting it to energy! Wu Yi also appears in the latest issue of Women's Health and Fitness!

A study published in the Journal of Medical Investigation found that women who consumed Chinese diet tea directly after a meal increased energy expenditure by 10%. This compared to an energy expenditure of 4% for green tea drinkers and 0% for water drinkers.

Researchers at the Suntory Research Center in Osaka, Japan found that drinking Chinese diet tea 15 minutes before eating foods high in carbohydrates curbed rises in insulin, thus reducing some of the fattening effects of carbohydrate intake.
