SPRING SUNSHINE BENEFITS
On the beaches of Monaco, intrepid sun-lovers are rushing into the chilly Med at 7am to get in their obligatory laps, before sitting with a cappucino and thick sweater to soak up the warm, spring sunhine.
The health and beauty benefits of Spring sunshine are so vast it would take a book to describe them in detail, but in a nutshell:
- Once the sun is high enough, UVB rays kick off the production of healing, immunity-boosting Vitamin D in our skin.
- Bright Spring sunshine powerfully lifts our mood! When the sun's full-spectrum rays hit our retina (without sunglasses) its light kicks off all sorts of hormonal and life-affirming functions in our body, that basically give us more energy and help us sleep better at night.
- Bright sunshine also positively influences our metabolism, so it becomes easier to eat less and lose weight.
- As the sun is not yet as high as in Summer, it is easier to start tanning with little risk of sunburn: statistically, the more gently you build up your tan, the longer it lasts and the lower the risk of skin damage.
deW SPF50+ helps keep your skin smooth and hydrated - and actively protects your skin from any sun-induced malignancies, preparing your skin beautifully for the Summer!

SMARTPHONE NEWS
If you are one of the optimists still unwilling to believe the growing science about the dangers of mobile phone radiation, then it is worth taking a couple of steps back and asking: how has our health evolved since the widespread use of mobile phones?
- Smartphones began to be used in a big way in 2007, and in the 13 years since we all became addicted to the little things, the exponential decline in neurological health in technologically advanced countries has been staggering:
- Death from Dementia among women has increased over 600% and
- Incidence of Autism and ADD in children has increased from 1 in 500 in 2007 to 1 in 25 in 2019.
Although the experts agree that this shocking trend is due to a combination of mobile phone radiation with the aluminum & other toxins in our air from geoengineering and our increasing exposure to endocrine disrupting chemicals, pesticides and herbicides, it is mobile phone radiation that seems to be the main culprit, as it deactivates critical detoxification enzymes and so makes the effect of all other toxins so much worse.
The pathways of action of the microwave radiation used in 2G, 3G, 4G that lead to neurological and DNA damage have been clearly identified and demonstrated in literally thousands of peer-reviewed scientific studies, however shockingly, mainstream media and even so called independent newspapers such as the British 'Guardian' continue to spread the PR blurb from telecom giants that wireless radiation and Wifi are quite safe - in the hope that nobody will bother to read any actual science.
Literally thousands of independent scientists agree that mobile phone radiation activates ‘voltage gated calcium channels’ (VGCC’s) present in the walls of all our cells and floods the cells with excess calcium, causing a chain reaction of severe oxidation and DNA damage. (source: Professor Martin Pall) This cascade of damage has already been linked in multiple peer-reviewed clinical studies to Autism, ADD, Altsheimers, Depression, Parkinsons, MS, Heart Failure and Cancer.
As far back as 2006 Professor Ole Johannsen (Professor Emeritus at the Karolinsky Institute in Sweden) found a direct correlation between exposure to cellphone radiation and Altsheimers disease. – When his study was published, the cellphone industry threatened to withdraw their funding to the Karolinsky Institute if he did not resign.
A scientific study on mobile phone electromagnetic radiation (EMR) in Turkey exposed rat embryos in-utero to 'accepted levels' of ambient mobile phone radiation deemed by all mobile operators to be safe, for 15 mins /day for just 7 days. Once these rats were born and grown they had to run a maze to find food, and their performance was compared to another group of rats of the same age who had not been exposed to any EMR in utero at all: The exposed rats took 3x longer to complete the maze and find the food and made over twice as many mistakes as the unexposed rats. (Source: Dr Devra Davis)
A similar study was carried out at Yale University on mice, comparing mice that were exposed in-utero to ambient levels of EMR (Electro Magnetic Radiation) deemed safe by mobile phone operators - to mice than were not exposed to any EMR at all. From childhood onwards all the exposed mice became hyperactive and had significantly worse memories as adults than mice of the same age that were not exposed in-utero to any EMR at all. (Source: Dr Devra Davis)
THIS IS KNOWN SCIENCE! In China pregnant mothers are required by law to wear protective clothing over the womb for the entire duration of their pregnancy to deflect EMR and protect the growing fetus from neurological damage through mobile phone radiation. (Source: Dr Dietrich Klinghardt)
Dr Klinghardt himself did a study comparing the EMR exposure -when asleep- during pregnancy of mothers who had given birth to autistic children with the EMR exposure -also when asleep- during pregnancy of mothers who gave birth to neurologically normal children, and without exception the mothers of the autistic children had been exposed to levels of EMR while asleep around 20 x higher than the mothers of neurologically normal children.
There are now thousands of independent, peer-reviewed studies that demonstrate how mobile phone radiation damages neurons –PARTICULARLY IN A CHILD’S DEVELOPING BRAIN – and is destroying the intelligence and neurological stability of an entire generation. According to Dr Stephanie Seneff, leading researcher at MIT, if the current increase in neurological damage continues, 1 child in 2 will be on the autistic spectrum by 2025 - in 5 years.
What can we do?
- Minimize mobile phone use, particularly among children - and never hold a phone against your ear.
- Unplug the Wifi entirely at night and ideally do not use Wifi at all, instead wire your home with Ethernet and use an old-fashioned landline.
What about 5G? Unfortunately the experts unanimously agree that no matter how worrying the harmful health effects we have already seen from 3G and 4G, 5G will be much, much worse. Look out for our article on 5G for more details or take a look at some of the following links:

SLIM THE HEALTHY WAY
Want to lose weight easily even in Winter? Here's how:
1. Go to bed early and get your Winter beauty sleep: 8 hours minimum! Animals hibernate in Winter and with less sunshine and Vitamin D around even humans need more sleep. Guess what, we lose weight most efficiently when we get enough sleep: by lowering stress hormones and boosting growth hormone, more sleep in Winter means a slimmer, even more beautiful you!
2. Bounce out of bed and go for a brisk walk or run or do 10 mins of HIIT as soon as you get up. Then gently awake your digestion with a high-antioxidant Protein Shake.
Proteins are the building blocks of bones, muscles, cartilage, skin, and blood. Protein is a MACRO-nutrient meaning we need an appropriate amount for our body every day. Proteins are essential for our bodies ability to build and repair tissue. Your body needs proteins to make enzymes, hormones and other body chemicals.
According to celebrity nutritionist JJ Virgin: "
Among its benefits, studies show a high-protein breakfast suppresses your hunger hormone ghrelin, curbs your appetite, and crushes cravings.
Breakfast often gets low priority during the morning rush. A protein shake provides a fast, super-simple meal to stay focused and fabulous all morning.
A protein shake can also help you lose weight. One meta-analysis using six studies concluded a meal replacement "can safely and effectively produce significant sustainable weight loss and improve weight-related risk factors of disease."
A 2017 review reported that supplementing with whey protein might reduce body weight and total fat mass in people who are overweight or obese. It may also reduce blood pressure, total cholesterol, and other risk factors for cardiovascular diseases.
A 2018 meta-analysis of 49 studies supports the use of protein for building muscle. The research suggests that protein supplements significantly improve muscle size and strength in healthy adults who perform resistance exercise training, such as lifting weights.
Protein supplementation was equally effective in men and women. However, the effectiveness may decrease with age, as older adults actually have higher protein requirements than younger people, given that they often absorb it less effectively. So starting every day with a highly bioavailable protein shake may bring even more benefit when we are older.
After exercise a protein shake can also speed up recovery by reducing muscle damage and improving muscle performance and muscle protein synthesis.
The recommended daily intake of protein for people aged 19 years and over is 46 g for women and 56 g for men.

Protect our Oceans
I am thrilled to announce that DANIELE de WINTER is now official skincare supplier for TAF The Animal Fund - a wonderful environmental charity that works tirelessly to educate people on the importance of reducing plastic waste, protecting whales and dolphins and understanding the surprising importance of these magnificent creatures.
-
Whales are the fertilizers of the ocean and their poo is the main food source for phytoplankton. Plankton is the foundation of the entire marine ecosystem and it needs Whales in order to grow. The more whales in any part of the ocean, the more plankton and the greater the marine biodiversity. We need more whales and more plankton for our marine ecosystem to regenerate and to survive.
-
Besides, amazingly between 70%-85% of the oxygen in our atmosphere is also produced by marine plankton. As plankton needs whale poo to grow, whales are more important for our survival than anyone could have imagined (source: David Attenborough)!
-
At the moment the oceans and the wales that maintain it are however choking with plastic, and we all need to do our bit to reduce plastic waste NOW.
You can do your bit by:
a) using a reusable water bottle and reusable coffee cup and stoutly refusing to buy water in plastic bottles or coffee in disposable cups ;
b) always carrying a couple of hemp or linen shopping bags so you never need to use plastic bags;
c) buying seasonal fruit and vegetables from local markets so you do not buy any produce wrapped in plastic.
d) Religiously picking up any plastic waste you see on the roadside and disposing of it carefully in a plastic recycling bin.
e) Consider writing to your local MP to ask them to read up on the surprisingly enormous importance of whales and then to lobby the Governments of Japan, Norway, Iceland, Greenland and the Faroe Islands, the only 5 countries that still kill whales, to ask them to stop.

MONACO BEAUTY BREAKFAST
Hey beauty lovers! Start the day with a big smile and a protein, good Omega 3 fat & chlorophyll rich breakfast! Seared tuna salad is super easy to make in 7 mins (recipe below) and sets your skin, endocrine system (hormones) and energy levels up for the day.
For anyone in doubt (..."fish for breakfast, euuuu") here are a couple of cool reasons to make the switch:
- According to the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, people who eat a high-protein breakfast feel fuller and more satisfied throughout the day, they snack less and above all eat significantly less junk food.
- This could be linked to the fact that a high-protein meal reduces the production of the appetite hormone Ghrelin, which stimulates hunger.
- Another study found that people who eat breakfast, and in particular a high-protein breakfast, consume fewer calories throughout the day.
- Including abundant healthy fat (fatty fish, grassfed livestock, organic eggs, coconut oil, avocados, raw nuts) with breakfast kickstarts your hormones, as hormones are transported around our body by cholesterol, best made from animal fat.
- As hormones (testosterone, cortisol, thyroid serotonin etc) regulate every single body function, keeping them at optimum levels is simply good sense - and is a very effective method to help stay young & gorgeous.
SEARED TUNA SALAD
Serves 2
1 large fresh tuna steak
Organic, cold-pressed coconut oil
Capers
1/2 a fresh lime
1 organic onion (chopped)
1 bunch organic parsley (washed & chopped)
