Easy Removal of Wrinkles & Finelines - Natural Anti Aging Remedies That Work

If you're starting to get a little older and are worried about those wrinkles, finelines, and other signs of age that are starting to creep on you, well, worry no more! In today's day & age there is NO reason you should be walking around with unwanted wrinkles & finelines. And no, I am not talking about getting plastic surgery or about getting botox to solve the problem. What I am talking about is ALL NATURAL and easy removal of wrinkles. Take a look below to find out how you can get started.

Slow Removal Of Wrinkles...

1. Avoid Sun: Its been estimated that 70-80% of signs of aging are caused by too much sun exposure. Avoid it and you'll be able to better fight off wrinkles.

2. Eat More Fruits and Veggies: Antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins help the skin in lots of great ways. Eat more fruits & vegetables and your skin is sure to reap the rewards.

3. Stay Hydrated: Water helps the skin keep young and healthy, while dehydration (not drinking enough water) does the exact opposite. Throw in vegetable juices and fruit juices as well. Avoid sugary, caffeine filled drinks and you're skin will surely take notice.

Faster Removal of Wrinkles...

1. Banana Mask: Mash up a banana and apply the cream to your face. Let it sit for awhile then wash it away. Do this every night.

2. Coconut Oil: Massage warm coconut oil into your skin before bed each night and then again in the morning when you wake up.

3. Pineapple: Cut out the core of a pineapple and then rub it ALL over your face. Let this juice dry and then wash it away gently.

Instant Removal of Wrinkles...

1. Wrinkle Removal Cream: Certain skin creams (NOT ALL) have been scientifically proven to reduce wrinkles, finelines, and other signs of age. While some creams take days, if not weeks, to work and start making you look younger, there are others that work within minutes and make you appear younger almost instantly. Such skin creams are clinically backed, have dozens of available & REAL testimonials, and come with risk-free periods that allow you to try the product without risking a single cent of your own money. If there is a faster, more natural technique for the removal of wrinkles, well, it's yet to be found.

How to Remove Facial Wrinkles Fast & Naturally

There are plenty of ways to remove facial wrinkles quickly and naturally; you just have to know what works and what doesn't. For instance, although giving up smoking and avoiding excessive amounts of sun exposure can reduce facial wrinkles, it will NOT do so in a "timely" manner. As a matter of fact, doing any of those life style changes -- anti wrinkle dieting, moisturizing, giving up alcohol, stopping smoking, getting more sleep, etc. -- take months & month & months to get any sort of noticeable results.

Using ONLY super slow techniques to remove facial wrinkles just isn't a smart option. Why? Because by the time results even start to show, new wrinkles will have likely already formed and will require your attention -- you'll be behind before you even have a chance to get ahead. If you want to make such changes, that's completely fine and more power to you. BUT, such changes cannot be the only thing that you do if you wish to look younger and get rid of facial wrinkles fast.

For Faster Results...

Every night, start using homemade wrinkle remover masks. Masks made of honey, bananas, coconut oil, or pineapple juice are very effective and easy to do quickly. Results aren't instantaneous of course, but they will appear faster than if you had done nothing at all. 2 of these wrinkle remover recipes have been listed below. Take a look.

Honey: Wash your face with warm water then dry. Apply honey to your face and let sit for about 30 minutes. Rinse away and then rub an ice cube all around your face.

Banana Mash Up: Get 2 bananas and mash them up thoroughly in a bowl until it becomes a creamy paste. Apply this bowl of banana cream to your face and allow it to sit for 30 minutes. Rinse, then pat dry.

For the Fastest Results Possible...

There is NO better or faster way to remove facial wrinkles than by using RELIABLE anti wrinkle face cream. Some reliable anti-wrinkle creams are known to remove facial wrinkles within mere minutes -- one of them within 7 SECONDS!

Please notice that I said "reliable" (twice!) and that you can not use just any old anti-wrinkle cream. This is because there is a SEA of garbage wrinkle products out there which just don't work -- they are scams, plain and simple. Cosmetic companies feed on your desire to look younger and they make big profits hurling empty promises and ineffective treatments at you.

The key to making this work is by finding a wrinkle skin cream that is proven to reduce wrinkles & the signs of age AND is scientifically backed by clinical studies. In addition, it should also have a plethora of independent testimonials of people who have used the product AND it should be free to try (risk free trial or free trial period). If it meets these requirements, then it's worth your time and possibly your money. If it doesn't, well, then just move along to something else.

The Story Behind Coffs Harbours Big Banana!

If you have not discovered already, Australia truly is a strange country. One of the biggest cult phenomena that have spread through the country like a plague is the Big Thing statues. The Big Thing phenomena are basically just a massive amount of large plastic statues of animals, fruits, or just daily life things. So while driving through the desert in Australia, you shouldn't be shocked if a trout by the size of a boat suddenly appears on the side of the road. Where did this cult phenomenon come from?

It all started back in 1964 with the big banana in Coffs Harbour. John Landy, who owned a road side banana stall, wanted to build something spectacular that made passing traffic stop. An early day September day he came up with the brilliant idea of building the world's biggest banana... On the twenty-second of December 1964 the Big Banana was finally finished, and has since then been a popular attraction on the road through Coffs Harbour.

In later years, the Big Banana has now grown even bigger. Being the host to a roller coaster, an ice skating park, a water park and a café embarrassingly called "Going bananas cafe", the banana can almost be called a small amusement park. While the rides & attractions might not be world-class, the place is surely worth visiting just to experience what a man's dream of a huge banana can do to a town. They couldn't have said it better themselves: The Big Banana - It's a whole bunch of fun!

'Banana Spiders' are deadly and highly poisonous. It is useful to keep informed about these harmful insects to keep yourself protected. The species are of two different nature whose scientific names are 'Phoneutria', found in Central and South America, and the other one is 'Nephila Clavipes', found in North America. Among both species, the former one is more deadly and poisonous than the latter. Bananenspinne, Wandering Spider and Kammspinne are the other names by which phoneutria species are also known as.

The South American banana spiders, also known as 'phoneutria', are the most dangerous. They are 1.3 inches long and is quite big and aggressive. Though the dense rain forests are their primary home, they can also be located in the cities. From 1970 to 1980, this spider caused for hospitalization for about 7,000 people in the southeastern parts of Brazil.

This species of banana spider has poison that acts as neurotoxic on the nervous system of human body. These poisons are equivalent to the poisons of the 'Red Back Spiders', also known as 'black widows'. If a phoneutria bites, then immediate medical care is to be provided. This is because anti-venom has yet been discovered to cure the poison. The symptoms of this spider's bite are that of cold sweat, pain, and uneven heartbeat.

The North American 'Nephila Clavipes' banana spiders have poison that is similar to the poison of the 'black widow', but its poison are not so harmful as those of the 'black widow'. These spiders have a stretched-out body, resembling a banana shape and its color is also black and yellow. The body of the female spiders is large with a length of around 1.1 inches or 33 cm, whereas the male counterparts are around half the size of the females.

These North American spiders generally prefer areas that are sunny and are found in tall trees. They tend to build their web across pathways and cover quite a large area with the shape of an orb. They are gold-colored and are quite stronger than other spider's web.

Some of this spider's other names are: the 'golden orb weaver' or the 'writing spider'. Sometimes, it is confusing to distinguish between the yellow and black 'garden spider' and this North American spider. The garden spider is also called a 'writing spider' because its web has a criss-cross pattern This spider may not be very harmful but it is advisable to consult a doctor if you are bitten by it because it can cause some allergic reactions, which can be deadly.

Morning Banana Diet - 5 Things to Avoid

Intrigued by the Morning Banana Diet? It's the easiest diet ever, and I know from experience that it works. Here are five things to avoid while you're on the diet.

If you're not familiar with the Morning Banana Diet, here it is in brief: eat only bananas for breakfast while drinking room temperature water; eat normally for lunch and dinner; eat something sweet in mid-afternoon; eat nothing after 8PM; get to bed by midnight.

Here are five things to avoid on the diet.

1. Skipping your Breakfast

The first and primary rule of the Morning Banana Diet is to eat bananas for breakfast. If you miss eating bananas for breakfast, eat bananas for a snack later.

However, please don't skip your morning bananas. The bananas kick start your metabolism for the day. They also boost your serotonin. Your serotonin levels are vital for good health. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter which (among other things) modulates your metabolism, appetite, sleep and your moods.

I've found that on the Morning Banana Diet, I not only feel great, but my appetite is moderate, I sleep well, and have great energy. You can get these benefits too... just eat your bananas for breakfast.

2. Forgetting to Drink Room Temperature Water

Please drink your water. It's essential to drink water with your bananas, and also throughout the day. If you feel tired or get a headache, it's because you're not drinking your water.

3. Not Eating Normally for Lunch and Dinner

Please forget calorie counting. Eat normally. The Morning Banana Diet moderates your cravings. You'll no longer have an appetite for sweet foods after the first week. You'll crave a good diet, because your body's systems are functioning better.

4. Focusing Only on the Bananas: It's NOT just the Bananas Which Are Effective

Again: eat normally. The bananas are not magic. The only magic is what they do for you if you eat them for breakfast, and eat proper meals. You won't lose more weight if you decide to eat bananas for your main meals. You'll wreck your metabolism.

5. Weighing Yourself Daily

Weigh yourself once a week. Here's what's even better -- forget weighing yourself entirely. You'll know the diet's working because you're feeling better, and your clothes are loose.

The Morning Banana Diet is an easy way to lose as much weight as you wish, and to feel great while you're doing it. Just avoid the five things we discussed above.

Banana Pudding and Vanilla Wafers... the Perfect Crowd Pleaser!

Next time someone signs you up for "dessert duty" at the family barbecue, cookout, picnic or whatever other type of party you may attend this summer, consider the old pudding-and-cookies recipe. It's a gooey dessert that really wows the crowd. I usually bring the banana vanilla version (detailed below), but you can try any combination of flavors. Here's the jist of it.

The Recipe:

2 boxes of Nilla wafers

4 cups of instant Vanilla pudding

8 bananas

1 tub of Cool Whip

1 small container of sour cream (optional)

To Make:

Prepare pudding according to the recipe on box. Line the bottom of a large, snap-on plastic container with a layer of Nilla wafer cookies. Spoon out a layer of Vanilla pudding over the cookies. Slice up the bananas. Layer some of the banana slices over the pudding. Follow with a layer of Cool Whip. Repeat layering, in same order (cookies, pudding, bananas, Cool Whip.)

If you like your recipes to be a little less sweet, you can spoon a few globs of sour cream into the vanilla pudding, but even if you don't, this will come out pretty darn good.

After assembling your pudding and snapping on the lid, refrigerate overnight so that the cookies can soften overnight for extra gooey fun.

Note: whatever way you present this recipe, it will still taste just fine. You can get fancy and serve it in a parfait glass, layering very carefully and slipping Nilla wafers and bananas down the sides of the bowl, where they can be seen suspended in the pudding. Or you can mix up the Cool Whip with the pudding and just throw it together in a big container.

To serve: scoop into plastic cups or paper plates.

Reactions:

I'm not sure exactly why, but a funny thing happens to people as they consume this goopy stuff. As eating commences, a hush falls over the gathering, and the sound of smacking lips and plastic spoons grazing cups can be heard. Appreciative murmurs soon follow. Both children and adults grow mesmerized, inhaling cup after cup like it's their job.

Here are some verbal reactions I've had:

"Ooooh. That stuff is GOOD. What is that, bananas?"

"Hey, honey you have to come over here and try this banana stuff!"

"Do you mind if I just sit here next to the pudding? I'll leave some for other people... I swear."

"Wait, so... what's the recipe again? Bananas? And then... what do I do with the pudding..."

"What IS that?" (pause.) "Oh! Oh, MY. Uhh... can I have more?"

"This is some good slop!"

The last time I made this, it occurred to me that it would work just as well with any number of pudding-and-cookie flavors.

Variations:

Oreo cookies and chocolate pudding

Sugar wafers and lemon pudding

Butter cookies, vanilla pudding and strawberry slices

If you bring this dessert to your next family function, just know that you're not coming home with leftovers. Enjoy.

Dutch Oven Cinnamon Bread - How to Make a Dutch Oven Bread That is Great for Breakfast or Dessert

This is an easy bread recipe that you can cook in your Dutch oven. It is a delicious cinnamon bread that can be used as a dessert or a breakfast. It is also sometimes called Monkey Bread.

4 cans refrigerated tube biscuits

1 cup brown sugar

1 stick butter or margarine

1 cup sugar

Add all of the biscuit quarters and shake until they are all are coated very well. Melt the butter by inverting the lid of the dutch oven and placing it on or near the fire. Since one side might be hotter than the other, you may need to rotate the lid, or stir the butter to get it all to melt.

Place the coated biscuit fourths in the bottom of the Dutch oven. Pour the melted butter over the biscuit quarters, making sure get get butter on each one of them. Put 6-8 coals underneath Dutch oven and 10-12 on top. Bake for approximately 30 minutes, but you will want to check occasionally to make sure that the oven is not too hot and that the bread is not burning. Rotating the Dutch oven about a 1/4 turn each 8-10 minutes will help also. When done, remove and serve.

You can even get the biscuit quarters prepared ahead of time. Prepare and store in the zip-lock bag. Just make sure they are well coated to help keep them from sticking together.

Banana - Relief For Heart And Stomach Diseases

Something about bananas makes people laugh. We talk about "going bananas" and "slipping on banana peels." You would think that these yellow-skinned beauties were made for the comedy club.

But here's something that you'll want to take seriously. Studies have shown that the fruit beneath that slippery skin can do wonders for our health. Bananas may help prevent conditions ranging from heart attack and stroke to high blood pressure and infection. They can even help heal ulcers.

Bananas for the heart
• If the needle on the blood pressure cuff has been inching up in recent years, it may be time for a tropical vacation. If the sun and surf don't bring your pressure down, the bananas sure will.

• Bananas are one of nature's best sources of potassium, with each fruit providing about 396 milligrams, 11 percent of the Daily Value (DV) of this essential mineral. Study after study shows that people who eat foods rich in potassium have a significantly lower risk of high blood pressure and related diseases like heart attack and stroke.

• Even if you already have high blood pressure, eating plenty of bananas may significantly reduce or even eliminate your need for blood pressure medication, according to scientists at the University of Naples in Italy. Researchers believe that one of the ways that bananas keep blood pressure down is by helping to prevent plaque from sticking to artery walls. They do this by keeping the "bad" low- density lipoprotein cholesterol from oxidizing, a chemical process that makes it more likely to accumulate. That's why bananas may be a good defense against atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, another contributor to high blood pressure, heart attack, and stroke.

Stomach Relief

• Though more research needs to be done, bananas may replace antacids in your medicine cabinet as an effective way to quell the inner flames of heartburn and indigestion. Although experts don't know why they work, bananas seem to act as a natural antacid.

• In addition, bananas may be helpful for preventing and treating ulcers. There have been a few studies showing that bananas may have a protective effect in ulcer treatment," says William Ruderman, M.D., a gastroenterologist in private practice in Orlando, Florida.

• Scientists suspect that bananas may guard against stomach damage in two ways. First, a chemical in bananas called protease inhibitor appears to be able to kill 0ff harmful, ulcer-causing bacteria before they do their dirty work. Second, bananas seem to stimulate the production of protective mucus, the layer chat helps prevent harsh acids from coming into contact with the tender stomach lining.

• Bananas are a very good source of electrolytes, like potassium, which you lose when you become dehydrated. Electrolytes are minerals that turn into electrically charged particles in the body, helping w control almost everything that happens inside, from muscle contractions and fluid balance to the beating of the heart.

You're taste buds will love you for making this dish.

Here are the ingredients for the Extra Moist Banana Pineapple Bread Recipe:

Potassium Use

Potassium is one of the electrolytes requires for maintaining health. Potassium balances the levels of acidity, blood pressure and transmits electrical signals between nerve and cells, along with helping in regulating the body's water balance and neuromuscular function. It is required for carbohydrates and protein metabolism.

Potassium is found in fruits (one banana can contain 500mg), beans, milk, whole grains, fish citrus, un-process meats, and vegetables contain significant amount of Potassium.

Potassium has uses in connection to high blood pressure and kidney stones (citrate in combination with magnesium citrate). High deficiency of potassium in human are rare except cases of prolonged vomiting, diarrhea, or use of potassium depleting drug, "diuretic" drugs.

Potassium and sodium work together in the body to maintain muscle tone, blood pressure, water balance and other functions. In hospitals, use of Potassium and Sodium Chloride are often use in IV's for patients to assist in improving their health conditions. Though the amount of Potassium needed for maintaining health is minute, it is essential.

High blood pressure made worsen when there is too much salt and too little dietary potassium in our body. Excess potassium is excreted through urine and sweating. Excessive potassium is toxic and will affect the heart but mainly a problem in the case of kidney failure.

Deficient in potassium may cause fatigue, leg cramps, muscle weakness, slow reflexes, acne, dry skin, mood changes and irregular heartbeat. 3,500 milligrams is the recommended daily intake of potassium. Include in your daily diet a banana, citrus fruit, or a dash of apple vinegar will help replace lost potassium through your daily activities especially in body building.

Mtori: Banana Soup from Tanzania

In Northern Tanzania the Green Banana or Plantain is eaten more than any other starch food and is, interestingly, the only staple food in the world that is not grain or a root vegetable. There are many variety of banana - a plantation close to us has over thirty varieties. Many if my neighbors grow banana or plantain - usually growing more than one variety. I love the yellow soft Ugandan variety called Matoki. Unfortunately for me this is not preferred by the Chagga tribe, who are dominant here in Arusha. They prefer the firmer plantain called Mshali.

The Banana Tree is not really a tree at all, it is a herb; in fact the worlds tallest herb. It is mainly water held together by sticky greenery. The tree takes about 18 months to grow and fruit and is simply chopped down with two or three swift chops from a sharp panga. The tree or 'herb' produces a huge purple flower and then yields one very large crop of bananas on a single stem.

The sticky white resin that bleeds from the tree and the severed stem must be avoided; should it get onto clothes it stains and does not come out. Removing the skins is an art. Many of my African friends make it look so easy, a skill gained with practice I suppose. Remember to put oil onto your hands before removing plantain skins as the resin stains your hands black and is hard work to remove. Scrape all traces of back resin from the plantain before cooking

Mtori soup, made from plantain, is usually eaten for breakfast. Bellow is a recipe for this thick banana and meat stew.

This would usually be cooked over an open fire in a clay pot called a chungu - all the ingredients would be cooked in the pot at the same time. Once the cooking has finished the meat would be removed, cut into small chunks [fat and gristle is not discarded] and then reheated in the soup.

Mtori

1 kilo beef short ribs

2 teaspoons salt

10 Plantain [green banana] peeled and sliced

4 medium-sized (King Edward) potatoes - peeled

2 medium onions, peeled and coarsely chopped

1 Tbs. butter

Put the s ribs, enough cold water, and salt in a large casserole pot and bring to a boil over high heat. Skim the foam and scum as they rise to the surface. Reduce the heat to low and simmer, partially covered, for 1-1/2 hours.

Add the plantains, potatoes, and onions, and continue simmering for another 30 minutes, or until the meat is tender and the potatoes can be mashed.

Remove the short ribs from the pot. Remove the meat from the bones and cut away the fat and gristle, and discard. Cut the meat into bite-size pieces.

Purée the soup and vegetables. Return the purée to the pot, add the meat, and stir in the butter. Adjust seasoning - Enjoy.
Coconut milk is sometimes added toward the end of cooking to make the soup even richer.
