Still Sexy After All These Years?

Yes, there is a book called that. For women after 50. Haven't read it yet but the fact that it caught my eye is well . . .  interesting.  And some common themes emerge for why we might feel less than sexy. Bloating and sexy don't get on well together. Looking in the mirror and seeing your mom has a dampening effect also. Body changes.... um, well, I am not going to get into that. But I do know this. December can be good or bad for sexy. Bad is related to bloating, too much drink and food. Not enough of what you know damn well will make you feel better (water, exercise).

But good December is pausing. Tapping into root energy (think borsht, like this recipe or oven roasted veggies like this) give you beautiful colors and comfort. Replacing some of your coffee with Rooibos Tea (my favorite is Warm Balance by Eco Teas) will help too (high levels of anti-oxidants, no caffeine, and a host of healthy qualities--see full article here.) Instead of a latte, enjoy a "London Fog", Cape Town, South Africa style, using Rooibos steeped in steamed milk (or substitute rice milk) with agave syrup.
 As for pausing, it is the RUSH of life that strips your adrenal glands. It is the endocrine system of your body that feeds the juices of life http://www.inlightimes.com/archives/2001/06/endocrine.htm.  So, taking some time for yourself and resting, as well as nourishing the body is very sexy after all.
