Fight Aging: Drinkable Beauty Shots
Revolutionary supplement from Osmosis Skincare helps reverse daily sugar damage to prevent sagging and wrinkles
Sugar. We are surrounded by it at almost every meal yet sweets are often one of the most overlooked causes of so many skin, gut, and general health issues. In particular, an overabundance of it in your diet is speeding up one process: aging. At fault is a natural occurrence called glycation and Osmosis Skincare’s Sugar Detox Harmonized Water is a revolutionary supplement created to curb its effects on the skin.
All of us are experiencing the effects of aging from Advanced Glycation End products (AGEs). This results from excess sugar in our blood stream attaching to collagen making it tough and aging it before its time which leads to wrinkles. The sugar-protein bonds form these new molecules called AGEs. Over time AGEs become more permanent and affect the ability of our fibroblasts to create collagen. They also produce free radicals increasing the aging process even more.
Osmosis Skincare’s Sugar Detox Harmonized Water is specifically designed to address all aspects of sugar and sweetener overload. This Harmonized Water contains frequencies that help balance the pancreas, improve sugar utilization, detox sweeteneres from the liver, balance nerve damage associated with diabetes, help control sugar levels and reduce the effects of gylcation in the body. With daily use, there is now less sugar available to cause damage and help stop AGE-ing.
Price: $30 from www.osmosisskincare.com/S

Get Baked: Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies with @ZulkaSugar
The holidays are a great time to experiment in the kitchen. I was recently inspired to mix up a recipe for peanut butter chocolate chip cookies using a substitute for both white and brown sugars. Zulka makes sugar that is minimally processed and comes straight from freshly-harvested sugar cane. Their brown sugar is non-GMO project verified and blended with fresh molasses. Together, they perfect an already stellar recipe. Have at it and watch them disappear within a few minutes.
Peanut Butter Chocolate Chip Cookies 1 1/2 cup all purpose flour 3/4 tsp baking soda 1/2 tsp baking powder 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 cup softened, unsalted butter 1 cup crunchy peanut butter 3/4 cup Zulka Morena pure cane sugar 1/2 cup packed Zulka Brown pure cane sugar 1 egg 1 Tbsp milk 1 tsp vanilla extract 1 cup peanut butter chips 1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine butter, peanut butter, and both sugars until well blended and creamy. Mix in the egg, vanilla extract, and milk. In a separate bowl, mix flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Combine the two mixtures, then mix in both chips. Roll about 2 Tbsp of dough into a balls and place about 2” apart on an ungreased or paper lined baking sheet. Press down lightly onto the baking sheet just enough to slightly flatten. Bake for about 10 minutes and allow to cool completely before enjoying. This recipe makes about 24-30 cookies.
Voilà! These cookies are dangerously delicious. Read more about Zulka all-natural and unrefined granulated sugar at zulka.com. Other creations of theirs include powdered pure cane sugar and picante sugar, which adds a touch of chili spice! This is the good stuff, and it tastes great in coffee too. SWEET.
