Eating Vegitarian and Liking it!

Adding UNAMI to vegetables makes them more  flavorful and satisfying. What is UNAMI you ask?  Fish is chock full of UNAMI, the fifth taste alongside the standard four of salty, sweet, sour, and bitter. UNAMI is a Japanese word that is often translated as "meaty deliciousness" Humans crave foods that are naturally rich in UNAMI-aged cheeses, dried mushrooms, miso, soy sauce, fish and meats in all forms.These foods satisfy like nothing else because they are packed with glutamates that radically increase salivation and leave a long, mouthwatering finish on the tongue and palate. Vegetables on their own, have their merits, but we feel like a crucial component is missing. Some might conclude that it is protein that's lacking, but it is actually the
UNAMI we crave (the fifth taste) UNAMI-rich vegetarian cooking produces a satiety that leaves one satisfied.
Simply add ingredients like miso,, pulverized dried tomato, kelp, tofu.

Acid Peels

The ingredient in most anti-aging products is glycolic acid or Retin-A(retinoic acid). The skin doesn't have glycolic acid receptors or does not respond to synthetic acids  so its method of action is simply to destroy epidermal cells. (top skin cells) The response in the skin has inflammation, temporarily reducing lines by the swelling, a cause and effect of damage, and your skin goes into repair mode. Once thought of as beneficial, science is beginning to understand that instead of building new collagen these products force a continued repair of recent damage in the epidermas leaving the dermas where new collagen is formed underfed.So how do you stimulate the skin without damaging it? One clear key ingredient is Retinaldehyde which stimulates Fibroblasts without trauma. Retinaldehyde is what the skin uses to make collagen by converting it to Retinoic Acid. Contact your skin care professional for products which promote collagen building.

Ingredients Lists

When purchasing a product, know this!!!!! The first 5 ingredients are what your money is buying. Anything listed after that is negligible or a filler or preservative. Beware of anything paraben based. The front label can say anything and make any claims and have no or very little basis of truth. Flip that bottle around and read under "Ingredients"........The miracle substance should be in the top five. If the top five are the ingredients you were hoping to use, the price will reflect that as most "miracle" products are expensive to harvest and produce and the research behind them are costly. Consumers should do their homework, and understand the bottom line. Good luck and stay Savvy!

Sunscreen?

Many sunscreens have a myriad of chemicals that irritate and inflame our skin. Professionals in the know recommend SUNBLOCK rather than sunscreen. The difference being Zinc oxide as a block, creating a barrier to the radiation but not absorbing more inflammatory chemicals into the skin such as PABA or OCTYL METHOXYCINNAMATE  or OXYBENZONE. Better to wear a hat and spend only an hour absorbing your Vitamin D with no chemicals than to bathe yourself with dangerous ingredients. Wear your hat and walk the beach reveling in the beauty of your surroundings, take a swim and go home. Shower, and use a moisturizer like shea butter. About Face Esthetics sells a clean sunblock and Organic body butters. Call 941-914-6594 and ask for Lu today!
