As we were exchanging tips and advice, I realized that I have amassed a virtual recipe box of facials that can be done using fresh fruit. As there are many of you out there that could benefit from this knowledge, I have decided to share my insights.

One of my favorites is the peach facial, which works very well as a tightening mask. Simply take a ripened peach, and remove the skin and the pit from the center. Place the peach and the whites from a single egg in a blender, and whip until smooth.

Pat the mixture onto your face, and allow it to sit there for 30 minutes. Rinse with cold water.

I have found that the apple mask is very good for normal skin. Peel, core, and quarter an apple. Chop the apple in your blender, and add two tablespoons of honey. Blend until smooth.

Then remove the mixture from the blender, and refrigerate for approximately 10 minutes. Apply the mixture to your face using a patting motion, and be sure to pat until the honey becomes tacky. Leave it on for about 30 minutes, and rinse with warm water.

I have also had great success with a Strawberry mask that my Grandmother told me about. The trick here is to use extremely ripe Strawberries. Add approximately ? cup of strawberries and a ? cup of cornstarch to the blender, and mix until smooth.

Apply the mixture to your face, and be careful to avoid the area around your eyes. Leave it on for 30 minutes, and rinse it off with cool water.

The next facial mask is excellent for blemished skin. Chop a ripened tomato into small pieces, and place it in your blender. Add one tablespoon of lemon juice and some instant oatmeal or rolled oats. Mix until it is all combined.

Do not mix for too long, as it will not stick to your face. If it gets too thin, simply add more oatmeal. Apply the mixture, and leave it on for 10 minutes. Scrub it off using a warm, wet cloth.

There are many different ways to care for your skin, and as many different products on the market. In my experience, the most natural treatments provide the best results.

Try to avoid products that have heavy perfumed scents or appear to use poor quality ingredients. These all natural fruit facials have worked wonders for me. I hope you enjoy them.

]]> FDA Allows Use of Radically Different Food Safety Product For Fruit, Vegetable, Produce Industries http://www.efruitspace.com/FDA-Allows-Use-of-Radically-Different-Food-Safety-Product-For-Fruit%2C-Vegetable%2C-Produce-Industries/article/14746 Industries http://www.efruitspace.com/FDA-Allows-Use-of-Radically-Different-Food-Safety-Product-For-Fruit%2C-Vegetable%2C-Produce-Industries/article/14746 Today food safety in the United States took an important step forward after the FDA allowed the use of a radically different and highly-effective food antimicrobial called Selectrocide? to wash fruits and vegetables. Created by Selective Micro Technologies, Selectrocide produces more than 99% pure chlorine dioxide solution. Food processors can use Selectrocide to reduce microbial levels and improve their product quality over an extended shelf life."It's important for food processors to understand that bacteria and other organisms living on the surface of fruits, vegetables cause them to rot and carry disease, which may present a food safety issue" said Richard Hamilton, chief scientist and co-founder of Selective Micro Technologies. "It's long been known that chlorine dioxide is an ideal biocide for killing unwanted organisms. However, previous products that generate chlorine dioxide have contained harmful contaminates.

Selectrocide is a product that creates greater than 99% pure chlorine dioxide in a convenient, easy-to-use form. Simply add water."Field trials conducted by processors and grocers have shows that processed fruits and vegetables can last up to 50% longer, look and taste better by applying the Selectrocide solution. A full report of the field trial results is available at http://www.selectivemicro.com/documents/ProcFoodFieldStudy.pdf."The FDA's allowance of Selectrocide on fruits and vegetables has the potential to dramatically improve food safety and quality throughout the fruit and vegetable supply chain," said John Warner, president and co-founder of Selective Micro Technologies. "We have seen great interest from international growers planning to reduce spoilage microbes and extend shelf life of food shipped around the world.""The implications of Selectrocide use reach well beyond the produce industry into all segments of the food industry. Our products are cleaning clinical instruments and pharmaceutical processing equipment in addition to being used as a disinfectant and sanitizer for horticultural settings," continued Warner.

"Where there is a need to reduce microbial levels, sanitize food processing equipment, clean medical instruments, and pharmaceutical manufacturing, we plan to be there."FOOD SAFETY AND FOOD TASTE Selectrocide's use on food is particularly important for American consumers because much of the food now consumed in the United States is grown in foreign countries and shipped to grocers in North America. Food safety standards vary widely around the world and enforcement can be equally unpredictable. Bacteria and fungi found on food surfaces often manifests in growing fields and hothouses, and proliferate in transit to grocery stores in the US. Food growers who participated in Selectrocide field trials have created methods to ensure produce grown in foreign markets is sanitized prior to packaging and remains sanitized while in shipment to stores. The field trial process yielded reduced microbial levels, increased shelf life and improved overall look and taste quality of food products.

SUMMARY OF SELECTROCIDE BENEFITS ????Reduces bacteria, yeast and mold on fresh cut food ????Extends shelf-life ? produce lasts longer, looks better, tastes better ????See study results at http://www.selectivemicro.com/documents/ProcFoodFieldStudy.pdf????One product for all antimicrobial requirements SELECTIVE MICRO'S CHLORINE DIOXIDE MICRO REACTORS Selective Micro's Selectrocide is sold as sachets with reactants contained within proprietary membrane materials. The sachets are immersed into water, producing a greater than 99% pure chlorine dioxide solution, at neutral pH, with virtually no unwanted by-products. Selectrocide makes it possible to generate chlorine dioxide at specific concentrations (from 1 part per million (ppm) to 500 ppm) in specified time periods. According to the Annual Research Report, Southwest Research Institute, San Antonio, TX, 1996, "Chlorine dioxide is a powerful biocide that can kill fungus, bacteria, and viruses at levels of 0.1 to 1 part per million in contact times of a few minutes." The low levels of chlorine dioxide required to kill microorganisms is in stark contrast to other antimicrobials that require parts per million ranging from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of parts per million in order to be effective. Such high concentrations make the competitive products highly corrosive, dangerous to handle and difficult to rinse.

Being highly effective at low concentrations means Selectrocide's chlorine dioxide rinses off food and equipment easily, and has no adverse effect on food flavor.COMMERCIAL USES FOR CHLORINE DIOXIDE Chlorine dioxide is a highly unstable gas and cannot be transported in containers or cylinders, so its potential over the last 50 years has gone untapped in many applications. For the first time ever, greater than 99% pure chlorine dioxide can easily be produced at the point of use without harmful residual chemicals, high capital expense or complex generation-plant assembly.

ABOUT SELECTIVE MICRO TECHNOLOGIESFormed in 1999, Selective Micro Technologies is a private company based in Beverly, Massachusetts. Combining sophisticated science with innovative product design, Selective Micro has invented a proprietary delivery system that controls the rate and efficiency of gas-producing reactions.

Our competitive advantage is the ability to generate specific concentrations of chlorine dioxide with very low chemical residuals and neutral pH ? at the point-of-use, using only water, without capital equipment. The Company holds two US patents, and has several other patent applications pending in the US and abroad. Selective Micro and logos are registered trademarks of Selective Micro Technologies, LLC.

Made from a puree of the whole Mangosteen fruit, Mangosteen juice is finding it's way into homes across North America, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand and Japan. What's behind this? For centuries, the traditional medical healers of India, China, Malaysia, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam have employed Mangosteen for its health benefits. Called the Queen of Fruits, this tropical fruit is largely unknown in many other parts of the world. After decades of medical and scientific processes used to discover why this fruit promotes health to such a large extent ? even ?pan-systemic' or complete body benefits, the juice is finding popularity worldwide.

It has long been recognized in Asia that the Mangosteen has powerful anti-inflammatory properties and is effective in treating eczematous and hyperkeratotic skin conditions such as psoriasis. In the Caribbean, a tea made from the Mangosteen is used as a tonic for fatigue and low energy states, universal symptoms experienced by millions around the world. Mangosteen juice has two important components: (1) the beneficial antioxidants and (2) the medicinal properties of Xanthones. Xanthones are a unique biologically ?active' compound. Active means they couple with other molecules and become very beneficial to the systems of the body, through 'potent free radical scavenger activity'.

There are 200 known Xanthones and 24 are found in the paricarp (rind) of the Mangosteen fruit. No other fruit or single food source has been found to have this quantity. A major European university pharmacological study uncovered these healing and beneficial properties of Mangosteen's Xanthones: antidepressant, anti-diabetic, anti-leukemic, anti-microbial (fungus and bacteria) and anti-viral. The Xanthones, found abundantly in Mangosteen, have been scientifically found to suppress the production at the cell level of Cyclooxygenase (COX), reducing inflammation, pain and fever.

J. Frederic Templeman, a renowned mangosteen researcher and advocate, can be found at http://www.myxango.com/tonysxango. Click on "The Mangosteen Interview". A "Tour" about the product and the business is also available..

]]> Connection between fruit and vegetable consumption and cancer Illnesses In The Upper Digestive Tract http://www.efruitspace.com/Connection-between-fruit-and-vegetable-consumption-and-cancer-Illnesses-In-The-Upper-Digestive-Tract/article/201701 vegetable http://www.efruitspace.com/Connection-between-fruit-and-vegetable-consumption-and-cancer-Illnesses-In-The-Upper-Digestive-Tract/article/201701 Whoever eats fruit and vegetables daily runs a smaller illness risk for mouth, throat and laryngeal or esophagus cancer. Improvements for men stood at 12% and for women 4% through the use of such a nourishing diet, with the risk lowering particularly more in persons who consumed over 300 grams per day.

This is a result of a European-wide EPIC*-Study, headed by Professor Heiner Boeing of the German Institute for Eating Research Potsdam Deer Bridge. (The expenditure for September of CAN cerium and control 2006, 17 (7):957-69, is already available over Internet.)

In Germany two study centers are involved in EPIC, German Institute for Eating Research Potsdam Deer Bridge and the German Cancer Research Center in Heidelberg.

The EPIC scientists analyzed data of 130,633 men and 215,271 women, collected during the EPIC study of 1992 until 1998. Gathering information on their eating habits and life circumstances was undertaken. During the evaluation the researchers considered all important admitted factors, especially concerning those that affect illness risk for these cancer forms.

E.G. Tobacco and alcohol consumption.

Within the study period of approximately 5.8 years 255 study participants got sick and 97 study participants with first time mouth, throat, and Laryngeal or esophagus cancer.

After the data of the EPIC study the risks for these Kinds of cancer per 80 gram of daily fruit and vegetable goes down on average around 9 per cent. With men the cancer risk was reduced by over 12%, while it decreased with women by over 4 per cent. A risk relationship exists apparent only up to a "Threshold value" from approximately 300 gram per day. That is, whoever already consumes more than 300 gram, then their illness risk cannot be further lowered probability still further by a consumption quantity increase.

"The sex specific differences in the occurrence of the illness are remarkable.

Although the number of the female study participants was clearly larger, there were new cancer illnesses from the male participants by nearly twice as much. This can be probably attributed to the generally higher alcohol and cigarette consumption of the male study participants. First of all the consumption of fruit and vegetables is lower in men from north, west and Central Europe and are way under the general consumption of women.

One should encourage therefore particularly people with very low fruit and vegetable consumption to increase their daily consumption quantity.

World-wide about 390,000 people get sick with mouth and throat cancer annually. In addition 160,000 new cases of laryngeal cancer and 412,000 new illnesses of esophagus cancer are detected annually.

This corresponds to 11 per cent of all new cancer illnesses. Alcohol and cigarette consumption are the substantial factors of risk for disk epithelium cancer illnesses of the upper digestive tract.

EPIC* (European Prospective Investigation into CAN cerium and Nutrition) - study: a prospektive, 1992 study begun, which uncovers connections between nutrition and cancer and other chronic illnesses. 23 administrative centers in ten European countries with 519.000 study participants are involved in the study. The EPIC study is coordinated by Dr.

Elio Riboli (international Agency on Research OF CAN cerium, Lyon, France). The Potsdamer EPIC study, in which 27,548 women and men at the age participate between 35 and 65 years, leads Professor Dr. Heiner Boeing. .

]]> Dieting Effects ? Fruit http://www.efruitspace.com/Dieting-Effects-%96-Fruit/article/100018 Dieting http://www.efruitspace.com/Dieting-Effects-%96-Fruit/article/100018 Everyone knows that introducing healthier foods into their diet is a good idea. Fruits and vegetables are really what they are talking about. Of course, there are probably lots of foods that can be eliminated to have a healthier body.Fruits are defined as the fleshy seed-bearing part of the plant that we all get to enjoy. Vegetables are plant parts that we eat, so technically all fruits are also vegetables.The good thing about fruits is that we get to eat them. The recommended amount of fruit for your day is five to nine pieces.

Fruit can make the best breakfast. It's light, full of energy and nutrients, and very tasty. Fruit hydrates the body and helps the diet levels.Fruit can be added in your diet in so many ways:

  • Juice. Just make sure it is pure juice, not flavored water. The organic kind is the best.
  • Smoothies.

    A tasty treat for breakfast or an energizing snack in the afternoon. Add your favorite supplement and go.

  • On your breakfast cereal. Bananas and strawberries are perfect on your favorite whole grain oats.
  • Dried Fruit. A perfect snack for the afternoon munchies. Eat as much as you like.
  • Salads.

    Add apples and grapes into your boring salad and add some zing. Talk about refreshing.

  • Jellies and Jams. Pancakes, toast, and bagels. What a classy touch of natural goodness.
  • Desserts. The after dinner course is the best, especially with nature's freshest fruits.

    Custards, ice cream, and chocolate. Yummy!

These mouthwatering flavors are tailored for your body. Eat as much as you like whenever you like. Preparing fruit ahead of time is one of the best ways to ensure a quality snack. Bring a pineapple home from the grocery store and immediately cut it up, placing it in refrigerator storage containers.

When you are hungry for a snack, it is ready to go. It won't be so tempting to grab that bag of potato chips.Getting started on a fruit diet can really help with children. When they start learning the benefits of fruits, they will be less likely to wander toward the junk food. Healthy snacks will help their bodies to perform to their potential. To get the most out of fruits and vegetables, shop at a health food store.

Organic fruits and veggies are free from chemical preservatives and herbicides. These chemicals can penetrate the skin of the fruit and get into your food. They drop the nutritional value to more than a fraction of organics..
