From Denny:  Looking for great vegan recipes?  Even if you are not a vegetarian or a vegan, it's always a good idea to give your body a break from food that is hard to digest, like meat and dairy products.

It's a kind of fasting that does wonders for increasing your energy level and encourages better sleep.  One meal a week, or if you are feeling ambitious, one day a week is an easy way to try out a new way of looking at and cooking food.

Have you ever really thought about how you can make your beauty routine tasty with great healthy foods?  You win on both fronts.

* Cabbage - vitamin C brightens skin and repairs damaged skin and heals collagen.  Has more vitamin C than oranges.  How much to eat?  Try a few servings a week.  You can add some shredded cabbage to your salads or saute it with spices as a side dish.

* Sunflower seeds - are high in vitamin E and prevent cellular damage.  Helps with maintenance, growth and repair of tissues and delays aging.  While we enjoy the roasted seeds, it's the raw ones that give the full beauty benefit.

* Avocado - high in vitamin E and heart healthy fat that keeps you satisfied and moisturizes your skin from the inside out.  Prevents fatigue, anxiety and depression.  This fat feeds your brain and stimulates healthy functioning.  This fat helps us absorb the fat soluble vitamins like A and D.
