ECZEMA NIGHTMARE
May 2, 2008 Eczema is the common name for skin disorders characterised by red patches, weeping blisters and often, severe itching. There are several different kinds of eczema which is often associated with food allergy (usually milk or wheat) and a deficiency in Essential Fatty Acids from nuts and oils. Dermatitis is inflammation of the skin (a contact allergy often associated with food allergies to milk products and wheat). A deficiency in essential fatty acids can make the body predisposed to developing dermatitis. Prostaglandins are suppressed by saturated fats and fried foods and by deficiencies in vitamins and minerals, especially zinc deficiency. What to do... Sodium Bicarbonate helps to reduce the body's level of acidity. Avoid steroid creams, creams containing paraffin oil and Vaseline, perfumed washing powders, and clothes made of synthetic fibres. Shebas Secret products do not contain these ingredients. Drink plenty of lukewarm water (around 2 - 3 litres per day). Eczema and Diet When food is metabolised by the body the end products are either acidic or alkaline. Acids are compounds of elements which give away hydrogen ions, Alkalines are compounds of elements which attract hydrogen ions. The body needs both Acids and Alkalines for its metabolism but we have more difficulty getting rid of Acids than Alkalines. It is therefore easy for an accumulation of excess acids to occur which can cause us to get rheumatism or skin problems such as eczema. To avoid this, aim for a diet which is 70% Alkaline and 30% Acid. To achieve a more alkaline diet you can consider replacing the following items in your diet:

SHINY SHOWER DOORS
April 9, 2008 Are you tired of trying to clean your shower doors or having them totally foggy during your shower? Try rubbing basic vegetable oil or shaving cream on your clean shower doors to keep them shiny and fog free. Shaving cream can also be used to remove built up soap scum on shower doors, walls and fixtures. NOTE: Do NOT oil the tub floor as it makes things too slippery and can cause injury. Did You Know: Using car wax on shower walls and tiles helps prevent hard water deposit buildup and spots? Don't wax a bathtub or shower floor though as it makes things too slippery and can cause injury. Submit your home remedies and suggestions to: Joanne@ShebasSecrets.com

THE PERFECT PEDICURE
October 26, 2007
Remove feet from the water and dry with a soft clean towel. Clip and file the toenails carefully and clean gently around cuticles. Rinse feet and gently pat dry. While the feet are still moist apply a foot scrub to remove any hard skin or calluses from the areas around the heels especially. Try Shebas Secrets Organic Infusion Buffing Cream, Salt or Sugar Scrubs. Rinse the feet in the warm water. Wipe feet dry paying special attention to the areas between the toes. Apply a good moisturiser such as Shebas Secrets Velveteen Overnight Cream or our Organic Infusion Moisturizing Lotion to the feet and ankle area. Steady massaging stokes will give you a relaxing and therapeutic foot pedicure treatment. Allow the lotion or cream moisturizer to soak into the skin. Keep out of reach of children. For full body baths or personal preference, use an additional fizzy. Our Bath Bomb Fizzies are terrific to use in Full Baths. Submit your home remedies and suggestions to: Joanne@ShebasSecrets.com
"Say No to Sugar for One Week and Feel Great" According to the Center for Science in the Public Interest, per capita consumption of added sugars has risen by 28% since 1983. The average American consumes at least 64 pounds of sugar per year, and the average teenage boy at least 109 pounds. Consuming the typical amount of white sugar makes most people moody or hyper or cranky or nasty or just plain sick. Scientific studies funded by the sugar industry "prove" that white sugar won't hurt us one lick and is supposedly good for us. Baloney. Be your own scientific study. Remove all white sugar from your diet for seven days and amaze yourself at how much better you'll feel at the end of that period. Be sure to check with your doctor before trying this if you are diabetic or have any kind of health problems related to sugar intake.
More disturbing sugar facts from the CSPI: People who consume diets high in added sugars consume lower levels of fiber; vitamins A, C, E, and folate; magnesium; calcium; and other nutrients. By displacing protective nutrients and foods in the diet, added sugars may increase the risk of osteoporosis, cancer, high blood pressure, heart disease and other health problems. Calorie-dense foods, which are typically high in sugar and/or fat, contribute to obesity. Between 1976-80 and 1988-94, overweight rates in teenage boys rose from 5% to 12%, in teenage girls from 7% to 11%, and in adults from 25% to 35%. If you think the obesity trend hasn't continued, stop and look at the people around you when you're outside today. I repeat the point of today's health tip: remove all refined sugar (read the labels on everything you eat and purchase) out of your diet for one week and see how much better you feel and act without the stuff in your body. Some docs were onto the dangers of refined sugar almost a hundred years ago.
