Notes from the Diva
Another week of adventures in Diva land, means we are pleased to bring you this latest issue of Health In High Heels. First of all, we need to let you know LOUD and CLEAR that THIS is our GREATEST PROJECT EVER:
We cannot tell you how thrilled we are to be a part of this! The Truth About Your Food series is going educate people about their food and health in a way that has never been done before! Here’s the best part…
Sign up before October 26th; you’ll be able to participate for FREE!
If you’re reading this newsletter, we know that you are already aware of the power of small changes in our lives and our health. This is not about raw food, but is about being a part of the ripple to empower our family, friends and neighbors to cut through the sludge of information funded by industry.
The information in these calls could literally save the life of someone you love. So many people have told us how thrilled they are about this amazing opportunity, and how they are anxious to spread the word in their communities and to family and friends. Rest assured, will have some dramatic cards, postcards and posters for you to print and send out to the world soon. Stay tuned, and start thinking about all of the ways you can help spread the word at your local grocery stores, health food stores, health care practitioners offices, and even passing them out to people on the street EVERYWHERE!!
 In
other Diva news, our LAST Body
Enlightenment System for the year is just around the corner.
We’re going to be kicking this event off on October
17th (with prep-week beginning October 11th). This round
will include special surprises and new information,
so we really hope you’ll jump on board and be a part
of this adventure.
This week’s feature article is, uh… well, STEAMY! It’s clearly fig season and for those of you know Tera well, you’ll remember that figs have a rather provocative effect on her. We dare you not to blush while you read this one!
In addition, Tracy is back with another natural beauty pampering recipe, and we have Dr. T’s response to the “Orthorexia” issue, recently featured on ABC news.
Hope your week is a wonderful one!
Love and hugs,
Tera, Amy and The Team
Juicy Treats
 Cheezy Easy Noodles
by Tera Warner
2 organic zucchinis
a pinch of sea salt
a drizzle of olive oil
2-3 tablespoons nutritional yeast
3-4 raw olives
Directions:
With your friendly-neighborhood vegetable peeler, peel the zucchini into thin strips and pile ‘em high. Sprinkle with that little pinch of salt, drizzle with oil, and leave them just long enough to get slippery and for the moisture to start coming out of the zucchinis because of the salt. (10 minutes)
Now, sprinkle nutritional yeast, stir throughout and sprinkle some chopped, olives on the top.
Sit down with a gorgeous little bowl and slim, sexy fork, then dive in, Baby!
OH MY GAAAWSH! Enjoy, and don’t share even a little bit!
A Note About This Recipe:

 Hi Divas,
I wanted to pass this link on to you. It kinda goes along with what you and Dr T have been talking about.
Let me know what you think. I think there was bit of media distortion in the newscast but yet a lot of truth! It’s so wild as a nurse taking care of patients after open heart surgery it is so apparent that a lot of disease is diet and stress related.
Had you found a lot of people not doing well on raw foods? To me the video made raw foods itself seem like an eating disorder. I am not so sure that it is but yet can get so out of order.
I guess anything can become an addiction; spending money, business, sex, overeating, so I suppose healthy eating can too!
I feel a responsibility because I teach healthy eating/living classes at my church. Let me know what you think!
 -Erin
Thank you, Erin, for bringing this to our attention.
Eating "Raw" is no more of an eating disorder than eating Macrobiotic, eating "Right for Your Blood Type," or eating like most Americans - consuming huge amounts of addictive animal proteins, sugars, coffee/soft drinks and excessive calories - yet thinking that it's "normal" to eat that way (just because it's common, it's NOT necessarily normal - I should trademark this phrase...).
Therefore, to call "raw eating" a food disorder is hypocritical and sounds like a big pharma witch-hunt designed to scare people away from healthy lifestyle choices.
It's not about the CHOICE of raw food, but about the PERSON choosing the food.
 An addictive personality, or an obsessive-compulsive personality, will be manifested in ANY lifestyle choice made, so it is misleading and disingenuous to target only those who choose to eat UNPROCESSED foods - which are FAR HEALTHIER than the addictive processed foods "enjoyed" by 98% of Western populations (with the world's highest rates of chronic, debilitating, lethal illnesses and premature degeneration).
As raw food educators, we are trying to help raw foodists make wiser choices by shifting to “Eco-Raw Living”, which focuses on the modern principles of comprehensive cellular nutrition - including emotional and social health - and on clearing dietary choices from the tendency toward addictive and ego-centered behavior, which we see in every diet and in every walk of life within Western civilization toward more sustainable, ecologically conscious choices.
Unfortunately, our educational efforts - which target "raw food dieters" predominantly - might give people the impression that these widespread dysfunctions exist only within the "raw diet movement" - and nothing is further from the truth. Eating unprocessed, wholesome, MOSTLY-uncooked foods while maintaining a healthy social and emotional life, bathing in the sun, having fun, staying active, having a large variety of NATURAL foods, avoiding man-made (commercially-motivated) errors and obsessions, and understanding how our body's needs vary with the exposure to various stress factors (plus IMPLEMENTING this knowledge of nature WITHOUT anxiety or obsession) while observing the principles of ecology and sustainability, is without a doubt the TRULY NATURAL road to vibrant health of people and planet.
THAT'S Eco-Raw Living...
Yours, Dr. T
They told you to eat meat to get enough protein.
They told you milk would make your bones strong.
They told you to get your fiber from whole wheat bread.

Natural Skin and Body Care
By Tracy Neely
 Ginger Lime Body Polish
Take a mini vacation to the tropics with this exfoliating treatment that will leave your skin feeling smooth to the touch.
Sugar
A sugar scrub is a scrub made with natural sugars for a gentler affect. Sugar scrubs are less dehydrating than salt scrubs and can be used by all skin types. Sugar scrubs promote the growth of healthier skin cells and promote cellular turnover. I like to use white sugar in this recipe because once you zest the lime; the zest is visually stimulating to the eye against the backdrop of the white sugar.
Macadamia Nut Oil
Macadamia Nut Oil (Macadamia integrifolia) is expeller pressed from the nut of the macadamia nut tree and is high in palmitoleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid commonly found in other vegetable oils. Palmitoleic acid is also found in sebum, thus macadamia oil has been often recommended for mature skin, which starts to dry as the sebum production diminishes. It is high nourishing and emollient oil recommended for dry and mature skin.
Ginger Essential Oil
Ginger essential oil (Zingiber officinale) Ginger seems to improve the body's ability to sweat, help circulation and help us get rid of cold symptoms and the flu.
Lime Essential Oil
Lime Essential Oil (Citrus aurantifolia) is steam distilled using the whole fruit and expressed lime oil is cold-pressed from the fruit rind of green limes. Cold-pressed lime oil acts as an astringent, counteracting overproduction of sebum, and is especially useful for oily skin. Its antibacterial property is useful for the treatment of acne.
 Lime (fruit)
Lime (Citrus aurantifolia) is smaller in size than the lemon, with a thin smooth skin. It has a sweet smell and contains less juice than the lemon, but packs a powerful punch when used in food and skin care recipes.
Recipe:
1 cup granulated sugar
½ cup macadamia nut oil
5 drops ginger essential oil
4 drops lime essential oil
Zest from 1 lime
Directions:
Combine 1 cup of sugar and ½ cup macadamia nut oil in a bowl and mix well. Add zest of 1 lime to sugar and oil mixture and combine well. Add 5 drops of ginger essential oil and 4 drops of lime essential oil to mixture and combine well. Apply mixture to entire body in a circular motion, paying close attention to heels, knees and elbows. Shower off in warm water and notice the soft touch to the skin left behind by the macadamia nut oil and the fragrant aroma of the essential oils. This scrub invigorates and exfoliates the skin, while the macadamia nut oil and essential oil are left to moisturize the body and leave the skin with an intoxicating aroma.
Enjoy!

5 Sexy Little Secrets To Help You Flirt With Your Food And Get People “Turned On” to Healthy Eating
 I admit to having seen a fair number of shocked expressions and embarrassed smiles while people watch me eat my food in public places. It doesn’t happen all the time, but if I’m REALLY hungry, and the fruit or food is REALLY tasty, then I lose myself in an explosive experience of sensations, perceptions, juicy vibrations and *moan* unavoidable squeaks and expressions of pleasure.
You can see some examples in my old posts from last year up on the blog!
Pornographic Produce? Perhaps!
The perfume of peaches…
I’d rather kiss a persimmon.
One woman actually said, “You sound like you are having an orgasm,” while I was eating a fresh fig.
Naturally, I blushed.
Why am I telling you this?
Have you ever gone into a restaurant, and the people at the table next to you have something that looks so good, and they are so clearly enjoying it, that you just can’t help but order the exact same thing? That’s exactly the principle at work, here.
We know that most people are seduced by the savory aromas, and old memories, that come gushing forth when olfactory triggers are stimulated by cooked food smells wafting through the air.
Far too many people take a disciplinarian approach to the Raw Food Diet—feeling like they must eliminate, ‘avoid’ and generally deprive themselves of certain things, but the raw food diet is a diet of abundance! The flavors, textures, juicy variety, and sweet, seductive, colorful charms of fresh fruit and vegetables are parallel to none.
So, here they are, then, Ladies: My top tips for making your favorite raw food look like something the person next to you simply MUST have!
1. Take your time
Slow and steady wins the race. It’s not sexy to horde and gobble food like a half-starved dog. Take your time. Make each piece feel like it’s the last piece you’ll ever have. Treasure it. Let it linger in your fingers, Girlfriend. Just the way you hold that piece of succulent melon will have their curiosity piqued!
2. Eye contact is everything
While you nibble on that morsel of tasty, perfect food, let the flavors, textures, and delicate aromas be felt through your eyes! Do not underestimate your ability to totally mesmerize and grab a person’s attention with how you move your eyes!
 3. Use your body
Hold what you’re eating as if it were a delicate flower you don’t want to squish! If you hold it like an afterthought, you can’t possibly turn someone on with it. You’ve got to hold it like the delicate little jewel of nature that it is! Don’t grab it like a cheap apple, treat it like the seductive, sinfully delicious apple that it is.
I swear to you, one of the sexiest things I ever observed was another woman eating an apple! She totally took the time to hold it and wrap her lips around it before biting and tasting it with porn-star perfection…
4. Squeak! Moan! Let Go!
I mean, honestly, if you’re hungry enough, this will just happen automatically. Get into it, Girl! Enjoy it and let them see and HEAR how tasty that juicy raw food is! Giggle at how delicious it is. They won’t be able to ignore it when you do this!
Finally, bringing it in for the power-move, number 5: Drip!
For heaven’s sake! That’s the sexiest part. The little drips that roll down your finger or face mean you get to smile an embarrassed little giggle, then clean up with the most obviously sensual, finger and tongue routine. Definitely drip, Darling!
And, that, dear Diva, is how you get others “turned on” for raw food, and admittedly, have a smashingly good time while you’re at it!
Seduce those strawberries!
