Jennifer Aniston’s recipe for radiant beauty.





What keeps Jennifer Aniston looking so radiantly young and beautiful?

According to starpulse.com, Aniston has now confessed that her secret is her daily practice of Transcendental Meditation.
When asked about the number one thing which has kept her looking so amazing, Jennifer said:
“I’d say a little over a year ago I started doing TM and that’s really changed everything. Starting your day off with that and ending with that is pretty powerful. Twenty minutes, you just notice the difference. When I get lazy and don’t get it in, I can feel a difference. I do it first thing when I wake up.”
She also admitted that if yoga didn’t exist, she would probably have to invent it.
But what if she could trade bodies with someone for 24 hours?
“I’d love to be able to ski like a crazy person, like Lindsey Vonn. Then I’d also like to have Gisele’s body, just ‘cuz, why not?” Aniston referred to the supermodel and fellow fan of yoga and meditation, Gisele Bundchen.

Gooey chocolate cake.



Gordon Ramsay serves up a rich and sumptuous, but not heavy, chocolate cake. See how to make it step by step.

Ingredients

120g dark chocolate, 70% cocoa solids
5 eggs, separated
200g butter, softened, plus extra for greasing
220g caster sugar
90g plain flour, sifted, plus extra for dusting

For the filling
284ml pot double cream
200g pot half-fat crème fraîche
2 limes or 1 lemon, grated zest only
For the ganache icing
150g dark chocolate
142ml pot double cream
25g grated chocolate, to serve

Method

Grease and bottom line a 24cm spring form cake tin.

Heat oven to 160C/fan 140C/gas. Melt 120g chocolate in a bowl.
Cool for 5 mins, then beat in egg yolks.
In a bowl, beat the butter and 100g sugar until soft and creamy.
Mix in the melted chocolate and yolks.
Whisk the egg whites to firm peaks then beat in remaining 120g sugar in three batches and continue whisking until stiff.
Beat a third of the meringue into the chocolate mix.
Then, gently fold in alternate spoonfuls of the flour and remaining meringue.
Spoon into the tin, level and bake 40-45 mins until the top forms a light crust.
Test the centre with a metal skewer, it should come out clean.
Remove, cool 10 mins, before turning out of the tin.
When cooled, cut in half carefully as it is fragile, with a large serrated knife.

To make the filling: in a bowl beat the double cream until thickened, but not stiff.
Then mix in the crème fraîche and the zest.
Spread one half of the cake with all the zesty cream and sandwich together with the other half.
Place on a rack with a large plate beneath.
To make the ganache icing: break up the chocolate into a pan and add the double cream.
Melt over the lowest heat and stir until smooth, then cool until the consistency of thick pouring cream.
Pour over the cake.
Let excess icing run onto the plate and spoon it back over to fill any gaps.
Spread the icing evenly on the top and around the sides using the back of a spoon or a palette knife. While the icing sets sprinkle the grated chocolate on top and around the sides.
Make the curls: You will need a large block of chocolate.
Ensure the chocolate is at warm room temperature and placed on a worktop.
Gordon used a sharp knife to make the curls, but it’s easier to draw a swivel vegetable peeler down the side of a thick block of chocolate.

Place a large ring cutter (about 10cm) in the centre of the cake and fill with the chocolate curls. Carefully remove the ring and let the curls cascade gently out.
Serve at room temperature.
If chilled ahead the cake should be allowed to come to room temperature before serving.
about 100g chocolate shaved into curls, to serve.

Anorexia.



There's an often-quoted adage that says "one can never be too rich or too thin." I can go along with the "too rich" part, but the fact is one really can be "too thin." Anorexia is an eating disorder that generally affects those in higher socioeconomic brackets and those who are involved in activities or work where thinness is considered an asset — modeling, acting, dancing, gymnastics, etc.

Anorexia nervosa is an eating disorder that most often affects women, but about 10 percent of those who suffer from it are men. Men most often affected are those who make their living in industries where weight is an issue — horse racing, modeling, dancing, distance running, and driving race cars.

However, anybody can suffer from anorexia nervosa, and it seems that the number of cases grows each year. A person who is suffering from the eating disorder is thin to the extreme but see themselves as fat — overweight. They don't consume enough food to stay alive, and many of those who suffer from anorexia die from starvation.

The methods anorexics choose to lose weight are: not eating, extreme exercise, self-induced vomiting, and the use of strong laxatives.

Anorexics can't see that they have a problem. They aren't likely to correct the situation. If you have a family member who has a body weight that is 15% below normal, refuses to eat in public, is anxious, is weak, has brittle skin, has shortness of breath, or who is obsessive about calorie consumption, you need to seek help for her (or him).


Overcoming anorexia is difficult, and it is a process that must be handled by a doctor who understands the problem and who knows how to deal with it. Quite frankly, all those who have anorexia cannot be helped — but you always need to try!


Take care.
