Today is the last day of BOOTY CAMP FOR A BIKINI BOD ! This has long been a spring tradition here at Marilu.com. This year’s class was an in depth look at each of the ten steps of Marilu’s Total Health Makeover.
If you were participating in class but got sidetracked there’s still time to go back and catch up on the days you missed. In fact the class forum will stay at the top of the page until our June class begins so check it out.
Even though it’s the last day we have news! This class will soon be available as an ongoing class throughout the year. That means that, in addition to our monthly classes, you will always be able to take a refresher on the basics of The Total Health Makeover whenever you like.
It’s a great place to start and it’s a great place to re-visit when you need a lifestyle “tune-up.”
This is just one of many upcoming changes so watch this space for more announcements.

From Marilu Henner’s 30 Day Total Health Makeover:
“If your feet are dry and flaky, coat them in Vaseline. Put on a clean pair of cotton socks, and sleep with the socks on. ……… This is a cheap way to get your feet soft. (I like wearing socks to bed. I always did, I guess, because I grew up in Chicago, and it was freezing cold. I do this tip a lot.”
Still think a little red meat now and then can’t hurt you? Chew on this:
“The concentration of pesticides found in meat is as much as ten times that found in grains, fruits, and vegetables. Chemical and pesticide accumulation in the body is a serious matter. The higher the amount a body consumes and stores, the higher the risk of cancer and liver failure. Cancer growths in animals are much more common than people realize. The butcher cuts them out at the slaughterhouse or supermarket before the meat is sold to the consumer.” Marilu Henner, Healthy Holidays
Stay healthy by combining two known immune boosters….exercise and social ties.
A study at Carnegie Mellon University found that among a group of people exposed to a cold virus the ones with stronger social ties were less likely to become sick. So dress for the weather, grab a friend and take a walk, take a class, take the stairs. Just get moving and have some fun !
“If someone told you that you could look younger, feel better, boost your energy level, and keep yourself healthy, wouldn’t you want to know how to do that? It’s simple, it’s cheap, and it’s as easy as getting a good night’s sleep. Your body has a built-in clock that knows when you are sleep-deprived and when you are right on schedule. You can’t cheat your need for sleep without cheating yourself.
Getting enough sleep allows your body to be a natural healer for almost every ailment that can affect you. People who are totally sleep-deprived find themselves down for the count. They literally work themselves into the ground until their bodies give them a reminder to slow down and get essential rest. Sleep is truly one of the greatest gifts you can give yourself. Your body will thank you, your mind will thank you, and everyone in your life will than you , too–because you won’t be crabby!” Marilu Henner, The 30 Day Total Health Makeover
During the month of October it’s likely that you’ll see more pink ribbons than ever. We’re thrilled to see that awareness raised !!
Here at Marilu.com we’re all about health. This is NOT a celebrity diet. This is a way of life that will help you to avoid disease and enjoy good health so we encourage you to not only donate to worthwhile causes, such as breast cancer research, but to also learn all you can.
Learn about the charities to which you donate. Are you buying a product because a percentage of the proceeds will got to charity? Check the fine print to see if there is a cap on that donation. It’s possible that they’ve already given all they’re going to give and the charity would be helped more by writing them a check directly. If it’s an edible product read the ingredients. The first line of defense starts with YOU .
A plant based diet will protect you from cancer as well as heart disease, diabetes and a host of other diseases and conditions.
“While scientists are hard at work searching for specific breast cancer-fighting compounds, the safest approach is to apply what we already know: Diets that are highest in a variety of plant foods and stay away from heavy oils, meat, and dairy products, help prevent a great many diseases. The earlier in life we start, the better.”
— Dr. Neal M. Bernard
A few days ago we posted Marilu’s article that was published in The Chicago Sun-Times. (If you missed it you can read it here: http://www.suntimes.com/lifestyles/15352943-761/daily-splash-marilu-henner-on-how-her-husbands-small-steps-scored-a-big-win-over.html)
In that article Marilu discusses “the new normal” in regard to changing personal lifestyle habits. It seems that those changes are going to be easier for everyone. Check out this NY Times article about the new normal in dining out. Vegan choices. http://www.nytimes.com/2012/09/26/dining/vegan-food-is-in-mainstream-in-southern-california.html?ref=dining&_r=2
Yes healthy choices are becoming more mainstream.
Marilu has been ahead of the curve for years. Isn’t it great to see the message spreading?
The Total Health Makeover is about, as the name suggests, TOTAL health. That means that this is a lifestyle that’s about more than counting calories, weighing and measuring and following the numbers on a scale. BUT…having said that we don’t want you to miss out on using some of those numbers, not as a rule but as a tool.
Here’s a fun article that will show you where you can burn 100 calories in fun activities: http://www.showbizdeluxe.com/mariluhennerinterview.htm
What’s more important than the hundred calories being burned? The mindset of MOVEMENT.
A body in motion stays in motion !!
The Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has issued a warning about the dramatic effects of hot dog consumption. We’re not trying to ruin your summer picnics. We’re just putting forth some information that might save your buns. You can still have a great time and enjoy DELICIOUS summer specialties. LIGHTEN UP, our current class in the members area, is all about eating right and having fun ! Check it out: http://www.marilu.com/becomemember.php
And you can check out the PCRM article right here: Once you know something you can’t “un-know” it.
This is worth knowing !!
