An Urgent Christmas Warning
22nd December 2006
Hi,
This is my last letter before Christmas, so I felt I had to warn you…
There's something important you must remember about overeating at Christmas... about all those chocolates and pies... those second helpings and indulgent puddings...
All that FAT and CARBOHYDRATE and GOOP.
All that bad-for-you-stuff… all that gut-busting, lard-inducing, sweetened rubbish you're about to throw down your gullet.
Yes, I'm sorry, but I am going to have to break the nutritional news to you...
Ahem...
IT'S ALL GREAT!
Yes, sod all the health advice, paranoia and fuss….
It's official: having fun, being indulgent and not caring for a few days over Christmas is GOOD FOR YOU.
We've got the whole of January to get back on track. Besides, as you know from my many previous Good Life Letters, a little bit of what you fancy does you no harm.
In fact, using Christmas to relax and de-stress may do you and your family the whole world of good. Despite putting on a few pounds…
I, for one, am going to lay aside my differences with certain foodstuffs on Christmas day.
Ray Collins is going to have a lovein with the naughty stuff.
And no amount of his family screaming, “NOT ANOTHER PIE!” is going to stop this juggernaut of joy achieving his goal…
Which is….
To nap his merry head off in the armchair before all those soap operas start depressing him to death.
But please don't think me irresponsible. I am happy to leave you before Christmas on a healthy note…
These festive ingredients will do you good
If you remember last week's letter, I got an email from Good Lifer Philip B with some great uses for honey and cinnamon, both very festive ingredients
|
I broke off a little early last week, so here are the rest of his excellent tips…
- INFLUENZA: A scientist in Spain has proved that honey contains a natural ingredient, which kills the influenza germs and saves the patient from flu.
- LONGEVITY: Tea made with honey and cinnamon powder, when taken regularly, arrests the ravages of old age. Take 4 teaspoons of honey, 1 teaspoon of cinnamon powder and 3 cups of water and boil to make like tea. Drink 1/4 cup, 3 to 4 times a day. It keeps the skin fresh and soft and arrests old age.
- PIMPLES: Mix three tablespoons of honey and one teaspoon of cinnamon to make a powder paste. Apply this paste on the pimples before sleeping and wash it next morning with warm water. If done daily for two weeks, it removes pimples from the root.
- SKIN INFECTIONS: Apply honey and cinnamon powder in equal parts on the affected parts to cure eczema, ringworm and all types of skin infections
- WEIGHT LOSS: Daily in the morning 1/2 hour before breakfast on an empty stomach and at night before sleeping, drink honey and cinnamon powder boiled in one cup water. If taken regularly, it reduces the weight of even the most obese person. Also, drinking this mixture regularly does not allow the fat to accumulate in the body, even though the person may eat a high calorie diet.
- CANCER: Recent research in Japan and Australia has revealed that advanced cancer of the stomach and bones have been cured successfully. Patients suffering from these kinds of cancer should daily take one tablespoon of honey with one teaspoon of cinnamon powder for one month 3 times a day.
- FATIGUE: Recent studies have shown that the sugar content of honey is more helpful rather than being detrimental to the strength of the body. Senior citizens who take honey and cinnamon power in n equal parts are more alert and flexible. Dr. Milton who has done research says that a half tablespoon honey taken in a glass of water and sprinkled with cinnamon powder, taken daily after brushing your teeth and in the afternoon at about 3:00 p.m. when the vitality of the body starts to decrease, increases the vitality of the body within a week.
- BAD BREATH: People of South America first thing in the morning gargle with one teaspoon of honey and cinnamon powder mixed in hot water, so their breath stays fresh throughout the day… GUESS THAT'S WHY BEE'S AREN'T SICK!
Thanks for that Mr B!
Thanks to you, Mr B, and to everyone who has written to me with ideas and tips. I've had another great year writing the Good Life Letter, and I hope you've enjoyed my emails.
Next year I've got some great ideas and innovations to make the Good Life Letter even better. You're going to see an even more user friendly website, so you can browse around for remedies and tips.
I've also ordered plenty of interesting new gadgets, books and supplements to sample and research for you.
And hey, if I get enough time, I may even get a book together. |
Anyway, that's enough from me for just now. I'll leave you in peace for the coming week while I generally mess about with the kids and look like a complete idiot.
Again.
Yours, as ever,
Ray Collins
The Good Life Letter
PS: Watch out for a special New Year recommendation
on the 29th!
