I

can’t believe that Easter has already come and gone! I usually choose this time of year to cleanse, drink less alcohol and eat smaller meals in preparation for the beginning of summer. Instead, I found myself indulging more, coming down with the flu—which I hadn’t had in years—and setting aside exactly zero time for exercise.

This issue of Le Nouveau Moi will refocus my efforts to make healthier decisions with an article about Detoxing by Larisa Robinson. With the right guidance from a physician this endeavor can help rid your body of the toxins that build up in your system over time causing you to feel sluggish, have poor skin health, and develop aches and pains.

Need some super cute, super comfortable active wear? You’ve got to check out Golfdom! Julie Holland and I model some of Golfdom’s latest fashions in sportswear.

What to look picture perfect for your summer vacation? Aesthetic Medical Center prepares your skin for those memorable photographs.

And Linda Barrett interviews Dr. Frank Richards about getting a facelift.

Is stubborn fat depressing you? Healthydermis educates us on the latest non-surgical techonology in eliminating fat—UltraShape, a body contouring method that destroy fat cells for good.

Take a glimpse into the life of Hillary Staats as she shares with us her beauty secrets in this edition of Sparkle. And learn how our tastes have evolved with Judy Caplan’s insight into which health foods are increasing in popularity.

And get back on track for a fun-filled summer!

What is a

BY LARISA ROBINSON

diet?

Cathy Wong, ND, an alternative medicine expert with About.com, described a detox diet as any method that removes environmental and dietary toxins from the body and involves minimizing chemical ingestion. It emphasizes foods that supply necessary detoxification vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants as well as foods that eliminate toxins by increasing bowel movement frequency.

What are toxins and why use a detox diet to eliminate them?

What are some popular detox diet foods?

According to Wong, toxins are anything that could harm body tissue. She wrote that such contaminates could include a poor diet, as well as “pesticides, antibiotics and hormones in food, chemicals from food packaging, household cleaners, detergents, food additives, heavy metals, pollution, drugs, and cigarette smoke.”

While common foods associated with detox diets include kale, grapefruit, lemons, water, and wheatgrass, Annette Bourdeau highlighted some flavorful fruits and vegetables in an article she wrote for the Huffington Post Canada. Her list included Brazil nuts, Goji berries, seaweed, onions, sesame seeds, beets, basil, ginger, pineapples, avocados, artichokes, cinnamon, apples, fennel, and parsley.

Once enough of those toxins enter the body, Wong noted, they create a load called the “body burden,” which can lead to physical and mental ailments, including “poor concentration and sluggishness, headaches, bad breath, fatigue, poor skin, and muscle pain.”

Many who detox claimed to have reported better concentration, more energy, clearer skin, and more regular bowel movements.

Each detox diet has its own special recipes and requirements that can be tailored, so long as the objective of organically removing toxins from the body is achieved.

HEALTH

Chris Illiades, MD, listed a few of the most popular detox plans:

THE MASTER CLEANSE: a 75-year old, liquid-based diet that usually features lemonade made from spring water, lemon juice, maple syrup, and cayenne pepper.

THE FASTTRACK DETOX DIET: an 11-day diet that targets colon stimulation and starts with organic foods, but eventually transitions into fruit juices and psyllium husks or ground flaxseed.

THE JUMPSTART JUICER: a weight loss and detox cleanse centered on consuming only raw fruits and vegetables for a duration of seven days.

What are some popular detox diet methods?

Do detox diets actually work?

In an article weighing the pros and cons of detoxing, Chris Illiades, MD, wrote that most detox diets are made to flush the body system short-term and can involve fasting, solely drinking fluids, dieting, taking herbal supplements, or using enemas.

As with any health fad, with the increasing popularity of detox dieting has come criticism. Zelman noted some of the side effects of detox dieting as negatives. According to Zelman, those side effects could include low energy, low blood sugar, muscle aches, fatigue, dizziness, and nausea.

Who shouldn’t do detox diets?

Most resources about detox diets recommend that anyone considering a detox diet first consult a medical doctor. Children, pregnant women, and people who drink or smoke regularly, or have weak immune systems will most likely be advised to avoid detox diets.

Kathleen M. Zelman, MPH, RD, LD listed several caveats associated with detoxing in an article about detox diets that she wrote for WebMD. Not only did Zelman mention the high concentration and effort detoxing requires, but she also stated that those who detox usually have to change their budgeting, cooking, physical activity levels, and mental states. Therefore, those who aren’t willing to adjust those habits should also reconsider when it comes to starting a detox diet.

Dr. Michael Smith, MD, MBA, CPT, chief medical editor at WebMD, commented on why he feels detox diets are ineffective in Zelman’s piece.

Smith wrote that the human body does a good job of naturally eliminating toxins, and that detox diets don’t improve blood pressure or cholesterol and have no positive effects on the heart.

On the other hand, he did mention that rather than completely fasting or focusing on one type of food or liquid, detox diets that replace processed, high-fat, and sugary foods with more fruits and vegetables are worthwhile.

Ultimately, since everyone’s body is different, as mentioned before, the decision to try a detox diet should be made based on a licensed doctor’s recommendation. However one chooses to diet, there’s still time to find the perfect spring cleaning technique to produce a healthy, happy lifestyle.

Turn back the clock

on Aging

Facelifts Offer a More Youthful Appearance

BY LINDA BARRETT

Who among us wouldn’t like to turn back the clock on aging?

Although we can’t help getting older, we can do something about how we look—with a facelift.

According to Franklin Richards, M.D., F.A.C.S., of the Vienna-based Cosmetic Surgery Associates, most people start thinking about getting a facelift in their early 50s, through their 70s. “Patients come in expressing concerns with loose neck skin, jowls or wrinkles, with various levels of skin laxity and looseness,” he said.

Dr. Richards performs about 98% of his facelift surgeries in one of his two certified operating rooms, using only local anesthesia in most cases. “We’ve perfected a technique we’ve been using for 15 years that is becoming more common now. We perform our procedure with very small incisions involving all three layers of skin, tightening muscles and removing extra skin and fat as we go.

This results in a long-lasting outcome, a quicker recovery and a more natural, not overdone look,” he explained.

“Things have come a long way from the facelifts of old. With the current technique, people look normal right away and can shower and shampoo the day after their surgery. There’s also not a lot of pain.”

Women and men can expect to look younger, less tired, and more refreshed after a facelift. “With this new advanced technique, patients can achieve a very natural look, not a pulled-face or windblown look. People ask our patients if they’ve lost weight or have a new hairstyle—they can’t pinpoint any physical signs of a facelift,” Richards said.

Yet, as in life, the aging process continues, so patients may desire to redo their facelift in 12 to 15 years.

There are risks to a facelift, as with any cosmetic surgery. Patients generally experience swelling and bruising, and incisions are noticeable for a few weeks.

Slight numbness can occur around the base of the ear and the central portion of the neck, but recovery time is quick.

“Normally, people are back to work in a week or two,” Richards said. Complications (although rare) can include a hematoma (broken blood vessel), infection or nerve injury.

Facelifts can’t erase all signs of aging, but they certainly can make a difference in how you look and feel.

ONLINE DATING TIPS:

Endless Emailing and Texting —

What’s a Marriage Minded Gal to do?

BY AMY SCHOEN, CPCC

So, you are dating online and you wonder, “Am I making any progress with all of my correspondence, or am I just wasting my time?” Let me give

you some practical dating tips. You start connecting with a supposedly decent guy based on his initial interest in you and his profile. He contacts you first, and then there is a back and forth emailing through the dating site. The back and forth becomes extended with weeks of messages. Whatever interest you have starts to dwindle.

Worse yet, when you eventually do meet him, there’s no mutual spark.

1 EXPRESS YOUR EXPECTATIONS If you don’t want to be pen pals, then you need to express your expectations on how long you plan on going back and forth. I recommend that you do it in a nice but firm way. You may say something like this, “I find that if I email more than two weeks before meeting someone, and it drags on, then the person doesn’t seem really ready for a serious relationship”.

16

You feel like you’ve wasted oodles of time with frustrating messages since you messaged back and forth for weeks. So how do you avoid this? You want to connect, however, should you spend weeks and weeks doing this? Then you ponder, “Does this man have other female candidates in the works and is just keeping me on the back burner until he has exhausted his other potential dates?”

This is enough to drive you mad!

On the other hand, you may also be thinking, “He sends daily messages, so there’s some kind of real interest.” However, this has been going on for weeks or even months. I named this being an endless pen pal. Here are my dating tips for you to follow regarding the online dating process:

CALL THEM OUT

2

Call them on their behavior or tell them, “I’ve been in a pen pal situation before, and it’s never worked out. Either we set up a time to meet, or I’ll need to remove you from my favorites or delete you from my match list.”

Le Nouveau Moi

w 2015

RELATIONSHIPS

GIVE IT A TIME FRAME Put a time frame on how long you will go back and forth before actually meeting face to face. You can say, “I’m looking for a serious committed relationship and do not wish to be pen pals. So, I believe two weeks is enough time for us to get to know one another by email and phone calls.”

Then, set up a time to talk on the phone.

3

BE SELFISH Be selfish about your time. Don’t email every day because then you show that you are too available. It’s just human nature that we don’t want something (or someone) that is too easy.

Just email them about your plans to talk or meet. You can say, “When we talk, I’ll share more about myself, or “I prefer us to have a conversation not email or text back and forth.”

Along with the above dating tips, a motivated to marry person wants to meet you to see whether or not there’s real interest in going further with the relationship. Just know that there are some people who are lonely and they like the idea of having a pen pal because they feel that they are having some kind of relationship. And watch out for those long distance relationships where they guy puts off meeting you!

However, if he does meet you, he may think that relationship might end. They may be right, but their concern about meeting in-person doesn’t warrant dragging things out for too long. Remember your goal is to meet this person and have a real live relationship. My bottom line dating tip is to find a relationship-oriented person like yourself who also wants an in person relationship leading to a serious, committed relationship.

The Completely Non-surgical Body Contouring Method to Destroy Fat Cells:

UltraShape with Healthydermis www.myhealthydermis.com

Summer is fast approaching and we all are working hard to get in shape with diet and exercise.These traditional methods don’t

always deliver the results we want though. There is another healthy way! With over 20 years of experience, and 6 years dedicated to researching non-invasive body sculpting technology, Healthydermis now has the newest generation— Ultrashape. Ultrashape is the innovative, effective way to naturally eliminate fat without compromising body tissue. UltraShape is not only the perfect option for patients that traditional diet and exercise is not successful for, but it is also a genuinely healthy way to melt fat with no risks, pain, or downtime. It will eliminate fat in a natural way by respecting the natural metabolism of the body without injuring tissue.

Is UltraShape safe?

The UltraShape system has been shown to be safe and effective for patients.

• FDA-cleared for abdominal circumference reduction • Clinically demonstrated in multi-center controlled trials • 10 peer-reviewed published articles and book chapters • 300,000 treatments have been performed worldwide.

How noticeable will my results be?

You should see results in as few as two weeks. Clinical results show:

How does UltraShape work?

Using ultrasound energy, UltraShape is able to target fat cells, destroying them instantly, so patients can see visible results within two weeks. Because the ultrasound energy is pulsed and focused, UltraShape is able to target the fat cells mechanically, without heating them and without damaging surrounding tissue. The designated area is treated only once, ensuring a complete and uniform treatment. Once the fat cell membranes are disrupted, the content of the cells is transported through the vascular and lymphatic systems to the liver. The fat is then processed via the body’s natural mechanisms.

• Average reduction of 3.3 cm (1.3 inches) • Up to 6.3 cm (nearly 2.5 inches) after 3 treatments BEFORE

by Cindy Pavell, M.S.

he awesome fact about tubing is you can use it anywhere - home,

to pack. For condo or apartment dwellers, where storage is a premium, they take up very little room. Tubing is color-coded to depict levels of intensities. Unfortunately, the colors are not uniform from vendor to vendor. You will need at least four levels (four colors) of resistance to perform a full body routine. Remember to pull, not yank. Keep your motion controlled. Perform 10-20 repetitions, and be sure the last repetition looks like the first one!

If you have any questions or concerns about these exercises please contact me: cpavell@cox.net. Stay tuned to Part II in the next issue. You will then have a full-body routine! v

Tastes

EVOLVE

BY JUDY CAPLAN What was once considered yucky is now considered healthy and delicious and most amazing of all, even desirable. This transformation shows, despite the current obesity epidemic, that America’s palate is changing. Due to celebrity endorsements of the vegan lifestyle, the farm to table movement, and the renaissance of cooking shows and celebrity chefs, and for a myriad of other reasons, our tastes are definitely evolving.

Summer is the time to benefit from nature’s paintbox and enjoy all the shades on the color wheel. If there was a vegetable you hated as a kid, try to see it in a new light.

Expand your horizons! Seek out new recipes incorporating those veggies. You might find that what you once thought yucky is now delicious!

So if you are just entering this uncharted territory here are some ways to enjoy the bountiful months of summer and taste the colorful, nutritious produce that is in grocery stores, at the farmers market, and even on DC and suburban street corners:

Parsnips, Swiss chard, shallots, jicama, daikon radish, lemon grass, and fresh ginger, once unknown by the average American and only seen in ethnic markets, now appear in scores of kitchens all over the country.

Exotic Fruits

Tomatoes

Exotic fruits like kiwi, mango, and papaya are great in salads and make wonderful, light accompaniments to fish and shellfish. Add these fruits plus succulent berries to plain yogurt or place it all into a blender for a light frothy smoothie.

Try a cherry crisp with a Kashi crust for a dynamite dessert.

Fresh tomatoes of every type abound in the summer and make a great side dish. Instead of fries or mac and cheese, try sliced tomatoes sprinkled with finely, diced onions and chopped fresh basil or slow roasted in the oven with Himalayan salt and olive oil (available from one of the many olive oil stores sprouting up everywhere.)

Brussels sprouts and kale are two of the most popular vegetables today.

Quinoa, spelt, amaranth, and brown rice, grains that were barely on the radar screen a decade ago, are front and center in many popular restaurants.

Even McDonald’s is entering this brave new world.

Did you know that garbanzo beans are replacing tobacco as a cash crop since hummus is dominating the marketplace?

Quinoa

Fresh Salads

Kale

I nstead of heavy pasta and potato, mayo laden salads, lighten up with quinoa or couscous tossed with crumbled feta, diced tomatoes, crispy cucumbers, scallions, and pitted, sliced black kalamata olives. Season with a light walnut oil vinaigrette infused with fresh, crushed basil, cilantro, and rosemary.

Use lemongrass to season pasta and fish dishes.

Add a refreshing salad of sliced jicama, mango, and avocado drizzled with a dressing made from toasted sesame oil, low sodium soy sauce, fresh, crushed ginger, chili paste, minced garlic, and seasoned rice vinegar. If you’re really hungry, add a cup of cooked jasmine rice or buckwheat noodles tossed with the sesame dressing above and top with ground, dry roasted peanuts.

Add fresh, leafy kale to smoothies; use kale instead of lettuce in salads and on sandwiches; cut it up in bite-sized pieces to toss into rice and pasta dishes. Brussels sprouts (cleaned and pared) can be chopped raw and added to salads; sautéed with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar for a delicious side dish or used finely chopped as a base for coleslaw. Add thinly sliced, fresh cabbage, grated carrots, diced onions, and toss with a garlic and parsley-infused dressing.
