Unhealthy Habits And Your Weight Loss By Melissa Ryan - Dec 13, 2010

It would be wrong to say that all the extra pounds didn't get there overnight. It takes years unhealthy eating and habits that become hard to overcome. And we should know what are those habits that become the root cause of our being obese.

1.Exercise: They do not exercise regularly. Generally, it is recommended by every expert to do two to three cardio sessions per week of 20 to 45 minutes and two to three resistance training sessions per week of 30 to 45 minutes. It helps a lot in burning fats. If you lack the urge to do them at home, be part of any biggest losers club.
2.Junk food: They prefer eating out. Knowing that Chinese and Japanese foods are the best when it comes to increasing your calorie intake.
3.No light activity: To have an active lifestyle, there are little things that you can do to take a lead. Take breaks and get some fresh air instead of sitting at your desk all day. Try to sit up straight, hold your back up and burn more calories. At any biggest losers club, you start with smaller activities and further to rigorous ones.
4.Sweets: They would not cut down the sweets. It is recommended not to stop having them but cut them to small portion.
5.Emotional eating: Eating is psychologically satisfying, mood-altering experience. Most people eat, not because they are hungry, but for other reasons as well. Know the triggers that led you to eat at any time.
6.Skipping meals: Eating fewer, larger meals may cause insulin to spike. This triggers hunger and could cause more blood sugar to be stored as fat. The people who eat several, smaller meals were less likely to be obese.

Overweight people may find it difficult initially to overcome their bad habits, but the results of any biggest losers club for eating and exercise habits are very rewarding. Now you must be wondering why i have mentioned about the club. It is all because it is human tendency to start with a great enthusiasm but after few days all is gone and laziness conquerors. But in case you are part of any such program, you would be able to keep the routine and get isolated from unhealthy habits soon.

The holidays have arrived in NYC, and with them come an assortment of emotions, obligations, and sentiments. As Manhattan starts to spring into its holiday attire, lights, trees, decorations, and window displays are a constant reminder for us to find the "perfect" gifts for our loved ones. As this can be almost impossible depending on the person, we find that there are some gifts that truly stand out no matter who is receiving them. The gifts of relaxation, good health and serenity. Spa packages and spa services at best spa's in New York make the perfect gifting experience all NYC men and women of all ages can enjoy. After the busy fall rush at work everyone looks forward to unwinding and decompressing, with the gift of therapeutic spa services in New York this enjoyment is multiplied ten fold.

Some popular spa body treatments for stressed New Yorkers one can find at the best spa's in NYC include:

The Deep Tissue Massage, a service that relieves your muscles of stress and sports related muscle tension. The Swedish massage, which will improve blow food and releases, built up toxins from the muscles throughout the body. The Reflexology massage, which is utilized to effectively work through the patients pressure points in both hands and feet to relieve tension, aches, and pains throughout the body.

Reflexology for Hands and Feet: Reflexology is a form of a massage that focuses primarily on your feet and hands. Having originated in Asia, reflexology is quickly becoming more popular in New York City spa's being that it's quick and can even go to supplement the regular weekly manicure and pedicure (for both men and women) while relieving all the tension from the tough work week.

The underlying theory behind reflexology is that there are reflex areas on the feet and hands that correspond to specific body parts, organs and glands. For instance, tips of the toes reflect the head, the heart and chest are around the ball of the foot, the liver, pancreas and kidneys are in the arch of the foot, lower back and intestines are towards the heel. Practitioners believe that applying pressure to these reflex areas can promote health in the corresponding organs through energetic pathways. Therefore, you can get relief in places you thought were impossible to reach by simply applying pressure to the right points in your limbs (arms and legs)!

Along with these effective stress-relieving solutions there are a number of facial treatments that help to clean and restore dry winter skin to its healthy self and let the patients look their best for all the precious holiday photos. Some options include:

Aromatherapy facials, which are therapeutic facials that can visibly improve the vitality and texture of the skin by using a gentle massage technique combined with essential oils. This service is especially geared to relieve muscle tension, poor circulation, and headaches.

Light Therapy Anti-Aging Facial, which uses light and heat to reverse the effects of environmental exposures and aging. As you age, skin texture roughens, spots appear and fine lines make their debut. This treatment works deep under the skin to recapture yesterday’s glow. It can soften fine lines, homogenize skin tones, decrease pore size, improve skin texture and enhance absorption of future creams and lotions.

Regardless of how much moisturizer you put on your face during the winter it isn’t going to match the effect that one facial can give you. Facial treatments give your skin the glow and luster that the cold winter chill strips away. The exfoliation can help rid the buildup of cracked skin around your nose and mouth (usually leftover from a cold or a mean case of the sniffles) and give another layer of skin the chance to shine! Another effective service for the colder winter months is the peeling facial which exfoliates using enzymes from fruits and veggies to free your face of tired and dull surface skin cells!

So whether you want to find the perfect gift for your close ones, or want to decompress after a stressful day of holiday shopping, look no further than the best rated spa's in New York for the best facial and body treatments guaranteed to put a smile on anyone's face. Show your friends and family you care with gifts that will help to heal and refresh their bodies and spirits.

Exercise to make your weight loss rapid

People do not just want to lose weight but want a quick weight loss solution. Most people often reach to a point in their lives where there are no options except for a rapid weight loss method. If you are not happy about your current health and physical appearance, you could take the guidance of the various weight loss plans out in the market.

A quick weight loss solution is possible as long as you have a realistic expectation from your body. If you are thinking of shedding 151 pounds in just two weeks, you are sure to get very disappointed. It will not happen! The most important thing for losing weight quickly is to develop a moderate and healthy weight loss within you. The belief and potential of weight loss is at times more important than being put on a specific diet that sheds the extra pounds but does not cheer you up. A healthy weight loss plan should be good to your body and mind as well.

For a fast weight loss, it is necessary to check your calorie intake. The calories you take, if not burned, turns into fats. These fats then become the unwanted and much undesired flab on your arms and thighs and the rest of your body parts. When you do not get much exercise to burn those calories, your body turns the extra calories into fats. Some weight loss tips regarding calorie reduction would be to completely cut out your intake of refined sugars, processed foods and saturated fats. These food components contribute the most to your obesity. Cutting them out of your diet will let you experience a fast weight loss.

Other weight loss tips include reducing your calorie intake by at least 500 calories every day. If you continue to take the extra 500 calories, it would just add 3500 calories per week to your weight. Eat your meals in small servings. This would reduce the amount of unnecessary food components you consume along with increasing the metabolism of your body and energy levels.

Avoid eating before your bedtime. To make your weight loss healthy, it is ideal to increase the metabolism of your body by having regular and proper exercise. Exercise and other weight training techniques burn up the extra calories and help you stay fit.

Many obese people who try to lose weight quit mid-way out of frustration. They then opt for weight loss programs for fast weight loss. There are many things to be considered before choosing a weight loss program. Both proper diet and physical fitness are necessary for a comprehensive weight loss. It is essential to choose weight loss programs that have a holistic approach towards your overall health. One must be sure that the weight loss plan you chose is capable of making your weight loss healthy.

Due to constant work pressure in the professional field, many people are depending on instant foods that are usually bad for the health. This develops obesity among the employees of a corporate. Numerous weight loss plans have been introduced to create healthy employees and ensure an overall corporate wellness. As the health of the employees influence the production of the company, the weight loss plans ensure that the employees are always high on energy to build up a presentable and impressive corporate image. In the past few years, many health programs and corporate wellness programs had been created to promote a healthy environment inside an organization.

www.burnitupandshapeup.com offers weigh loss programs through its unique diet programs and techniques. Their plans are designed by medical professionals for a sustainable weight loss by altering the diet and introducing physical fitness as an integral part of one’s lifestyle.

When Should I See Someone About My Back Pain?

2011-01-15T01:19:00.000-08:00

By James Hopkin - Oct 7, 2010

Our backs are involved in everything we do and are the foundation for every movement we make. We cannot sit, stand, walk, or reach without involving our back. And, since approximately 80% of us will experience back pain at some point in our lives, it is crucial that we understand our backs better.

So, how do you know when your back pain really needs professional attention or when it’s okay to just stick-it-out with an ice pack? Here are some guidelines that may help:

How much does it hurt?
If you are experiencing back pain for the first time, congratulations, you are old. Not really. It is common for 1st episodes of back pain to occur in the mid-twenties to early thirties. They often resolve quickly but may be associated with more trauma since most of us tend to be more active in that age range. If you have one or two occasions a year when your back hurts, don’t wait for the next one. This could mean that your spine has some significant mobility issues that need to be addressed. You don’t want to put off getting your back examined because those one or two episodes could turn into three or four occurrences or one big incidence of back pain that can really leave you immobilized.

Where is the pain located?
If your pain is localized to a small area of your low back it is likely that your injury is not as severe. If, on the other hand, your pain travels down into your buttocks and into the back of your thigh or leg, then you should consult a healthcare professional.

Is your back irritable?
You can often tell something about the severity of a back pain by how irritable it is. If you find that every movement bothers your low back then it is definitely more severe than someone who only has pain when they bend to one direction. Try to pay attention to which movements trigger your pain because it can help your doctor and physical therapist determine the problem.

Snap, crackle, pop!
Some back pain episodes are precipitated by a pop or significant pain. Next, the pain goes away only to come back intensely the next morning. This often suggests that chemical irritation (which takes time to develop) has occurred and a significant inflammatory process is occurring. This is a good instance where you should see a healthcare professional. They need to determine the extent of the damage and possibly control the inflammation.

Is it getting better?
If you notice steady improvements day by day then your body is naturally healing. Try to be careful though, you don’t want to justify mild improvements. If you haven’t seen a total recovery in one week then you should consult a professional just to be sure. If you are noticing a regression then, obviously, your back does need some help

We need to be vigilant about taking care of our backs now. Let’s face it; we only have one spine and a long life to live with it. Be proactive and consult your physician or a physical therapist on what you can do to avoid back pain. There are many facilities that offer core conditioning classes that will strengthen and develop your trunk muscles which may help curb pain and/or prevent back injury.

Wrinkles - Wrinkle Reduction and Wrinkles Remedy

2011-01-15T01:18:00.000-08:00

By Dr. Mital John - Oct 8, 2010

Wrinkled skin has always been an indication of maturity. Wrinkles are caused by factors intrinsic and extrinsic. Intrinsic aging is inherited factors and advanced processes of age, whereas extrinsic aging is related to the cumulative effects of sun exposure, aging, and inherited factors.

Mainly fine, or small wrinkles are caused by general exposure to sun and process of aging. On the one hand, wrinkles or furrows deep and thick in most cases are caused by repeated exposure of the sun which has a cumulative effect on the skin. Deep wrinkles around the lips can also occur from smoking. As we age, we all experienced rider, but individuals with more sun exposure over the years probably develop facial wrinkles deeper as they advance in age. Daily use of a screen or a sun moisturizer with sunscreen will protect your face against future wrinkles.

Reducing or eliminating wrinkles requires undergo three types of procedures available: You can replace, relax, or remove your wrinkles. When you replace wrinkles, dermatologist or facial plastic surgeon injects a substance or threads in the cleft of the ridge, thereby supplementing and rest in smoothing the skin.

The relaxation of wrinkles is made with toxin diluted botulism, called Botox. When Botox is injected to relax the muscles that produce wrinkles, wrinkles are not as apparent. Botox can be injected by a dermatologist, a facial plastic surgeon or a surgeon Oculoplastic. Wrinkles can be removed by a number of methods.

Prescription creams such as glycolic acid prescription-strength creams typically reduce fine wrinkles on the face after several months of use.

Skins superficial "lunch" improve wrinkles, while the medium and deep skin can remove wrinkles. Laser resurfacing, also known as dermabrasion, laser is also effective.

Is Corn Sugar Healthy?

2011-01-15T01:16:00.002-08:00

By Mark Stjean - Oct 14, 2010

How do you turn high fructose corn syrup into a healthy and fresh new harmless corn sugar? You rename it. The corn refiners recently launched a new campaign to rename the one single ‘food’ that Americans consume more than any other food calorie, high fructose corn syrup. With consumption of high fructose corn syrup at a twenty year low, the corn industry is looking for a hail Mary in an attempt to save its highly profitable ingredient (Archer Daniels Midland, one of the world’s top producers had 2009 revenues topping $69 billion).

Corn Sugar - doesn’t this sound harmless, unprocessed and natural? In fact the corn industry has already started marketing with this term by creating a new website and has commercials saying, “High fructose corn syrup HFCS -- corn sugar -- has been used in the food supply for more than forty years to make high fiber foods palatable, maintain freshness and enhance flavors in foods and beverages. Additionally, high fructose corn syrup keeps our foods affordable." Audrae Erickson, president of the Washington-based group, says that the new name would help people understand the sweetener. Really?

I am not sure how renaming this product will help people better understand it. Instead the industry should take the time to educate people on the difference between HFCS and sugar. Both compounds contain two simple sugars, fructose and glucose. The difference between these two compounds is that sucrose is 50% fructose and 50% glucose. HFCS is made up of 55% fructose, 42% glucose and the remaining 3% are higher saccharides, larger sugar molecules. The fructose in HFCS is more easily absorbed and utilized because it is free and unbound (in sucrose, every fructose is bound to a glucose molecule and must go through an extra metabolic step before it can be utilized in the body). When fructose is quickly absorbed and metabolized, it is done independent of insulin. Though this may sound like a good thing, it is not. If insulin is not signaled and released then leptin is not signaled and released (a key signaling hormone that regulates food intake and body weight). When this signaling system is bypassed, the body will continue to crave food. Studies have shown that beverages with added sweeteners may enhance caloric overconsumption, which makes weight loss harder to achieve.

The industry should offer statistics on the amount of HFCS people consume and its availability:

- On average, Americans consume 60 pounds of HFCS per person per year.
- HFCS accounts for 40% of caloric sweeteners in the United States.
- The consumption of HFCS increased more than 1000% between 1970 and 1990, far exceeding the changes in intake of any other food or food group.
- The increased use of HFCS in the United States mirrors the rapid increase in obesity.

Instead of starting a new site and using the name corn sugar (prior to approval by the FDA) they should start a site that talks about recent studies published on HFCS. Until now, the majority of studies have been short term studies and the results have been mixed. A new study from Princeton researchers published in February 2010 looked at both short term and long term affects of HFCS on body weight, body fat and triglycerides. The study showed that over the course of 6-7 months mice that had 24 access to an 8% HFCS “drink” and mice chow gained significantly more body weight (specifically adipose fat in the abdominal region) and had elevated triglyceride levels. Previous studies from Princeton has firmly established that if you give rats access to a 10% table sugar "drink" in addition to their normal feed (mice chow), they do not gain additional fat. In other words, their bodies are able to metabolize the extra calories without creating more weight.

The take home message? Sucrose is not ‘better’ than HFCS, other than it is natural and we can metabolize it. If weight loss is your goal, keep all natural sugar intake to a minimum and remove every bit of HFCS from their diet. Limit the intake of natural sweeteners like honey, agave nectar and real maple syrup.

How to Spot Added Sugar on Food Labels

Sugar is easy to spot on an ingredient label. Look for words ending in ‘ose’ (flucose, fructose, lactose), this indicates sugar. The following terms also indicate added sugar:

- white sugar
- brown sugar
- icing sugar
- invert sugar
- corn syrup
- high fructose corn syrup
- maple syrup
- honey
- molasses
- brown rice syrup
- cane juice
- evaporated cane juice
- all fruit juice concentrates, including apple and pear

Vitamins’ Contribution for Skin Care – The ABC vitals of the Ultimate Skin Care

2011-01-15T01:16:00.001-08:00

By Britto20 - Oct 26, 2010

The vitals for skin care go beyond the traditional concepts and practices(which have only touched the surface of skin functions) as this protective sheath/layer of the human body is rooted in defense mechanisms that fight microbes, warding them off on the surface(like a knight’s armor).

Which is why, it is important that the skin is nourished with all the necessary vitamins through proper dietary intake. Apart from dietary inputs, there is also a wide range of skin-nourishing products enriched with such vitamins, which contribute immensely to skin care.

How do vitamins supplement your skin requirements? What are the constituents of these vitamins, which serve the different layers of the skin-tissues?

Primarily, all vitamins are fortified with antioxidants, which trap the free radicals in the body and prevent them from causing slow-time disastrous effects(tumors, cancer). These radicals apart from causing internal damage also reduce the elasticity of the skin, causes dryness, premature wrinkling and interferes with the collagen levels. Vitamins are therefore the indispensable vitals whose “energy cleanses the skin to radiate the glow of youth”.

Let us deal with skin-care and vitamins layer by layer, understanding the A,B, C of skin nourishment.

Vitamin A, whose chief constituent is retinol, is associated with anti-aging and anti-wrinkling properties. Skin care products containing retinoids work from the roots to fight the signs of aging and render the skin more elastic. Vitamin A derivatives in a milder form also contribute to skin care with lesser side effects on sensitive skin.

Moving over to the B Vitamins, there are the B3 (niacin) and B5 panthenoic acid, which play a key role in maintaining the moisture levels of the skin. Keeping the skin hydrated is important, as this ensures that your body’s “natural garment” doesn’t wear a shriveled look. The moisture in the skin helps to flush out toxins from its surface, to keep it healthy and glowing; for which Vitamin B5 steps in(along with Vitamin E), as an important moisturizer. Niacin is used for its ex-foliating properties and as a new comer in the skin care market niche, it is preferred to the conventional acidic exfoliators (glycolic and salicyclic acid).

The vitamins and nutrients supplied to the skin should be absorbed for the healthy changes to take effect, for which a base to carry all these water-soluble vitamins is required. – That’s where vitamin C comes into the picture. Not only for absorption but also to carry out repair and regeneration work Vitamin C or absorbic acid contributes to skin care. The skin’s core protein collagen which maintains, builds and repairs skin –tissues and cells, gets a booster from this Vitamin . The damage caused by pollution, UV(ultraviolet) exposure or free radicals in the body system is controlled and prevented by the C Vitamin- a fort of anti-oxidants. Vitamin C is therefore a veteran skin care ‘official’.

As mentioned, Vitamins are a powerhouse of antioxidants and Vitamin E epitomizes this property. Skin, dryness, repair, moisture retention, Vitamin E or alpha tocopherol encapsulates the essence of skin care, and is considered more as ‘heirloom’ vitamin as it has been popularized since ancient lore.

Strong roots bound to surface with the fruit of health. And since the skin essentially brings out the inner health, you have the Vitamin K, which repairs damaged blood capillaries causing discoloration especially dark circles under the eyes. The Vitamin with its clotting and penetrating property gets down into the blood capillaries and seals the ‘seepage’ areas of the blood-vessels. Vitamin K supplements are also used to treat spider veins.

The wide spectrum of Vitamins contributing to skin – care and maintaining the inner health as well, signify a health potential mustering the energy of medical sciences, to go deeper for a richer, wider understanding. As an offshoot of this realm of science is Kosher-certified Raw Deal Inc, which operates in layers, strengthening the roots of many an industry from nutrition botanical, Nutraceuticals to the beverage and the baking industries. This multi-functional ingredient supplier, in team-up with Columbia-based B.Altman & Co, fortifies human health with “root-products“ such as Fruit Powders enzymes, amino acids supplements, baking industries, herbal benefits, international flavors, glandular raw materials, oil powders, vitamins and minerals. Raw Deal Inc., goes deep below the skin of health-care to the roots, where optimal nourishment can bring out the truest radiance of health!

Ten Products To Avoid At All Times

2011-01-15T01:13:00.002-08:00

By Dr Bill Stillwell - Nov 14, 2010

A few months back I paraphrased James (Snakehead)
Carville, a Democratic consultant famous for getting ole Billy Jay
elected some years ago, when I said, "It's the sugar, stupid!"
(Although now is a good time to repeat Carville's words to all
Democrats within earshot, "It's the economy,stupid!")

I've watching the labeling on any number of food products lately,
while food manufacturers try and repackage many of their products as
new and improved, while they are still the same old junk.

Here are a number of things to stay far away from:

1. Powdered cane sugar
2. Sweet and Low
3. Pure Cane Light Brown Sugar
4. Pure Cane Dark Brown Sugar
5. Molasses
6. Agave Nectar
7. Busy Bee Honey
8. Equal
9. Pure Cane Granulated Sugar
10. Corn Syrup

Sugar is sugar is sugar. And these are all "sugar," as far as your
body is concerned. If you want to lose weight, you really should
avoid them all, as much as possible. Agave nectar is being promoted
heavily these days, especially by the vegetarian crowd, but the
reality is, it's just another sugar.

Just for an example, let's take cookies, which everybody likes. The
best commercial cookies could have as many as 4 of the ingredients
listed above, in addition to flour and chocolate. Actually, the
chocolate is the ingredient least likely to screw up your system,
but in all likelihood, there will be more of all the other
ingredients than chocolate in the recipe.

If you're looking for a sweetener, you could use Truvia, Stevia, or
Xylitol. Stevia and Xylitol products have many different names and
can be found in most grocery stores. Truvia is being marketed much
the same as sugar packets, which from a marketing point of view
makes a lot of sense.

But what I would encourage more is to consume fruit in its natural
form. Eat an apple, a peach, some cherries, blueberries, watermelon
...there is an abundance of great fruit in the marketplace today and
you should take advantage of it. It is not only sound medical advice
to eat the rainbow of fruits and vegetables, but it's great for your
taste buds, which believe it or not, will not steer you wrong. When
you stop eating packaged products and start eating real foods, it
won't take long for your body to signal you that some of that crap
you've been eating doesn't pass the taste test, anymore.

Sugar contributes a great deal toward thickening the blood, which is
the start of heart disease, and it's something you don't want,
especially as Nobamacare rolls along. In the future, it isn't going
to be you and your doctor deciding what's best for you, it's going
to be some pointy headed government bureaucrat who's more interested
in statistics, than he is in you. You don't have to look any further
than England, where women with breast cancer have a 50% higher
motality rate than in the United States. Why? Rationing. That little
thing that Obama has been lying about, since he started this debate.

In rationing, there are only so many treatments available and when
the treatments are used up, the ones who didn't make the cut don't
get treated. That's why Obama had to sneak his rationing guy in the
back door, a couple of weeks ago. He knew that if the Senate had to
vote on this guy, they would never confirm him, because then, they
would be proving that they had lied all along. (Which they did.)

Here's a few more things that are almost all sugar:

1) Welch's Grape Jelly
2) Aunt Jemima Pancake Syrup
3) Maple Syrup
4) Strawberry Preserves
5) Teriyaki Sauce

Are you starting to get the picture? This is why every American is
consuming 166 pounds of sugar every year.

Yesterday, I went to a gym at the invitation of a friend. It's a
really swank place and 500 people could probably work out in there,
without a hitch. They have everything you need, including a massage
parlor. (And just my luck, I forgot my credit card.)

There was enough machinery in this place to build an iron sculpture
twelves stories tall and then some. There were enough weights in the
place to send the entire Gambino family to the bottom of Davy Jones'
locker and keep them there, 'til they turned to coral.

Once we checked in, after making a left turn toward the lockers, we
were greated by an 8 foot sign that advertised...potato chips. We
both stopped in our tracks. Could they be serious? Not only 8 feet
of sign, but on the sign it said, "A healthy choice...and available
in the "Healthy Cafe."

Wow! Gadzooks! WTF?

Potato chips are now a health food? And proudly sold by a fitness
company? I must have been asleep at the switch when this transition
took place. Since I was guest here, I didn't want to meddle. But my
friend, who has lost 50 some pounds by changing his lifestyle, got a
tad worked up in the locker. He thought the sign was disgraceful and
he wanted to complain.

Once he gets worked up, there isn't any changing his mind. We walked
to the front desk and he asked to see the general manager. (And as
luck would have it, she was in.) We were ushered up the stairs to
her office, which was pretty large. When I was running a large
surgical operation in New York, I never had an office quite this
big. ( But then again, I didn't have a snack food company pouring
millions into my operation.)

We were all intoduced and then my friend made his complaint about
the sign. He told the GM about his weight loss and that he
considered the sign to be offensive to people who were really trying
hard to lose weight. He told her, in no uncertain terms, that potato
chips are NOT health food and that the sign should be removed.

She was sympathetic, going so far as to imply that she agreed with
his point of view, and said that many GM's in the organization had
also voiced their concern. She also told us that the top dogs in the
organization did not agree and that, no matter what any of us
thought, the signs were staying.

The snack food company had paid out a lot of dough and nobody at the
top was giving it back. "They had a contract they had to honor."
Believe me, I thoroughly endorse honoring a contract. But I also
believe you don't enter into such hypocritical agreements. (Like the
American Diabetes Association getting one third of it's funding from
a soft drink company.)

It's a crazy world we live in, where well meaning folks team up with
sleazeballs, in order to "provide help."

One thing I have to say though, the salesman who put this deal
together...between a fitness company and a snack food manufacturer
...who wouldn't want to hire that guy for your sales department? At
least somebody was thinking outside the box.

Here at Favorite Formulas, we'll try and steer you right, without
any advertising money from fat merchants. My advice: If you see an
ad like this at your health club or gym, complain. Some companies
actually care about what their customers think.

Meanwhile, there's no time like today to get started on your own
health plan. The better shape you get into in the next couple of
years, the less you'll have to worry about Nobamacare.

The Easy Way To Get The Benefits Of Eating Fish

2011-01-15T01:12:00.001-08:00

By Dr Bill Stillwell - Nov 14, 2010

One of my friends recently visited his cardiologist, who gave him
all kinds of recommendations, including taking fish oil, garlic and
niacin. He also told him that he needs to eat fish 3 or 4 times a
week and lose more weight, to get in line with the BMI (Body Mass
Index) chart on the wall in the office.

Now my friend's problem is that he doesn't care for fish, or any
kind of seafood, for that matter. He told his cardiologist this, who
went right on yammering that he had to do it for his health, like he
didn't even hear what my friend said. This is a situation that is
all too common. The doctor is talking, but doing very little
listening.

No doctor is going to convince someone that hates fish to eat it
four times a week, even if he was the best salesman on the planet,
which most doctors are not. But for anyone who takes pharmaceutical
grade fish oil, this is a moot point, anyway. You're getting all the
benefits of eating fish, twice a day, seven days a week, so it
doesn't really matter that you aren't eating wild Alaskan salmon,
which goes for $20 plus, per pound, making it more expensive than
filet mignon.

And while it would be nice if my friend did eat a piece of fish,
every once in a while, I'm not going to force him, just as I
wouldn't want anyone to force me to eat liver (of which I can't even
bear the fumes, much less put it in my mouth).

And one of the benefits of pharmaceutical grade fish oil is that you
will NOT get the dreaded "fish burps" that come with regularity from
other cheap products on the market. The enteric coating on our soft
gels guarantees that each soft gel will travel all the way to your
intestine, before it dissolves, which means no "backup."

There's been a lot made of the BMI (Body Mass Index) lately, which
in reality is a very outdated tool. It was developed over a hundred
years ago and the simple truth is, that with all the advances in
medicine, it should not be used anymore. The BMI makes no
distinction between men and women, body types, whether a person is
muscular and fit, or not fit...as a diagnostic tool, it's not great.
For instance, my friend is a very fit guy, who weighs in around 195.
According to the BMI, he should weigh about 166. As he said, "Bill,
the last time I weighed 166, I was in the seventh grade."

A much better indicator of health is the percentage of bodyfat,
which is easy to measure and a much better indicator of what lies
ahead. Professional athletes who have the longest running careers
have low percentages of body fat and high percentages of muscle.
Muscle is a fat burner, so the more you have, the better off you
are.

I'm not asking anybody to be a professional athlete, but, as a
general goal, you should try to increase your muscle and decrease
your fat. You can do that by eating right, getting exercise and
taking pharmaceutical grade fish oil.

How to choose The Right Preschool For Your Kids

Picking Out The Right Preschool For Your Kids
A good preschool will prepare your child academically and socially, and help them get ready for the more formal learning environment of “big school.” It’s best to plan on choosing the right pre-school your child at least a year in advance, especially if you live in a big city.
Factors to Consider
The first step is to find out what what’s important for your child and your family. What’s highest on your priority list for your preschool kids? Is it academic training or social development? Or is it a balance of both?
There are a number of other factors you have to consider, including cost, school timings, location, student/teacher ratio, facilities and affiliation to regular schools.
The Price Tag
Preschools can charge a bundle, depending on where you live. It’s wise to decide what’s within your budget beforehand and choose among the preschools within the range you can afford.
School Timings
If both parents work and you don’t have other family members at home, you might consider preschools with longer hours, or those which have tie-ups with day-care facilities.
Location
It’s best to limit yourself to an area within a 20-minute travel time for your toddler, unless your child has special needs.
Student/Teacher Ratio
At least one adult for every ten children is desirable. Generally good preschools provide at least one teacher and one assistant or attendant.
Facilities
Are the school rooms clean, well-lit, spacious, and with good ventilation? Has attention been paid to safety? Are there a variety of pre school activity areas, with craft materials, books and toys for the children to play with? Is there an outdoor play area with well-maintained with playing equipment?
Affiliation to Regular Schools
You might consider getting your child enrolled in the preschool section of your area’s “big” school. This could be slightly expensive, but it would help your child avoid the stressful entrance tests to primary school.
Make a list of preschools in your area, and rate them. When you’ve trimmed down your list to two or three choices, take your child along for your second visit. She should be comfortable with the school and the teachers.
A preschool is an important foundation stone in your child’s education. It’s worth putting in the time and effort to make sure your kid’s first experience of school is a happy one.

Safe Ways to Get Rid of Pimples

2011-01-15T01:06:00.002-08:00

By Dr. Mital John - Nov 6, 2009

Some research says that pimples in adults are caused by hormonal problems, poor diet, stress, and even vitamin deficiency. Based on these causes, it was found out that one best adult pimples treatment is eliminating stress. Running, yoga, and meditation are stress-relieving activities. Furthermore, maintaining a proper diet and ideal weight is also one effective adult pimples treatment since excess weight results in the increased production of insulin which triggers the increase of androgen, the hormone involved in the creation of pimples.
Meanwhile, moderate pimples are characterized by the presence of whiteheads and blackheads partially covering the face. Treatment of moderate acne may involve light therapy or extraction along with the use of antibiotic creams or retinoid preparations. Sometimes, oral medications may be prescribed.
Going the natural way is not a new trend in treating pimples. In fact, these so-called natural pimples remedies have been around for ages.

Women Get Acne When They Applying Makeup…

2011-01-15T01:06:00.001-08:00

By rohit - Nov 10, 2009

Women spend thousands of dollars to create a flawless face. Yet faulty or uninformed uses of moisturizers and makeup can lead to inexplicable breakouts for women.

The two key symbols to remember when applying makeup and moisturizers are cotton and the feather. Cotton symbolizes the need to use clean applicators when applying makeup. The feather represents light application of makeup and moisturizers.

Here are the four biggest mistakes women make in their beauty regime that can lead to acne and ways to remedy them.

1.Re-using a consealer applicator

You have a zit and you want to hide it. So what do you do? Dip your consealer applicator in the bottle and apply the liquid cover directly to the inflamed zit, right. No. Reapplying consealer to your face with the applicator provided by the manufacturer does one thing only, spread more bacteria. Once you apply the consealer to your face with the applicator wand, you simply return it to the bottle where the bacteria have a whole container in which to flourish. Giving bacteria a breeding ground is what causes acne in the first place, so don’t give them new real estate in which to reproduce.

Solution:

To avoid this, apply your consealer with a cotton swab and never, ever use the applicator stick provided by the consealer manufacturer. This will ensure that your consealer applications are always fresh and free of as much bacteria as possible.
2. Re-using a foundation sponge

The reasons for not re-using a foundation sponge are the same as the reason for not re-using a consearler applicator, you want to limit the spread of bacteria.

Solution:

Never use the foundation sponge provided by the manufacturer of the cosmetic. Instead, use a cotton ball to apply your foundation. This way, each of your foundation applications will be clean.

3. Applying moisturizers and makeup with a heavy hand.

Do you have the habit of piling layers of makeup onto your face? Caking on your makeup clogs your pores. Clogged pores are an ideal breeding ground for acne-causing bacteria.

Solution:

Always lightly apply your makeup and moisturizer. One easy trick for assuring that you are applying your makeup and moisturizer lightly is that you feel a tickling sensation as you apply your cosmetics. The added benefit of light facial handling is that you reduce stretching and irritating your skin, a combination that can help limit the onset of wrinkles and acne breakouts.

4. Not evenly applying cosmetics

If you notice a collection of pimples surrounding your temple or hairline, this could be because you start applying the makeup or moisturizer at the bottom of your face and work your way upward. However, if the makeup or moisturizer collects on your temples or at the hairline, the cosmetic excess may clog the pores and cause zits.
Solution:

When applying makeup or a moisturizer, spread it evenly across the entire face. Keep in mind that hair styling agents may have spread to your hairline and this increases the chances of the pores getting congested and zits arising. Also, while cleansing your face, apply a warm cloth onto your hairline area to help remove the waxy build-up that comes from hair styling agents, moisturizers and makeup.

So next time you are applying makeup or your moisturizer, call to mind the feather and cotton, your metaphor for staying “light” and “clean” with your skin.

I Had Acne Problem

2011-01-15T01:04:00.001-08:00

By Ron Bloomings - Mar 26, 2010

Acne is quite prevalent, almost everyone under the sun gets at least a fraction of it some time in their life history. Acne is the typical situation about which humiliating talks are from time to time made.

Surveys show that acne does often lower self-esteem and is so much agonizing. Studies reveal that the earlier acne shows up the more possible it is to be really bad, so the normal belief that acne is merely a problem for teenagers is inaccurate.

Teenagers are in many cases more disturbed by acne than they let on. Lots of teenagers, even though they would rather keep it to themselves, find that their acne is very unpleasant. They find it a great relief when treatment clears their skin. If acne is becoming stressful, it would be best to get treatment soon to get scarring minimized.

A few acne scars might still be tolerable, but an accumulation of scars over time will cause significant damage to the complexion. When acne is more critical it should be regarded as a top priority medical issue, because it could end up as permanent scarring.

If you are having problems with acne and are still looking for the next best thing, presumably the standard measures have not cleared your skin. Get evaluated by an expert in these situations is highly recommended for acute acne that is beyond the control of dermatological medications, or when there are other factors such as irregular periods, increased hair, or a weight problem.

For more than very mild acne, hormonal testing is useful. It's like the one done for extra hair growth or alopecia , and consists in taking measurement of androgens to find out if elevated levels play a certain role in the causing of acne.
Even quite bad cystic acne that remains stubborn for years frequently goes away for good with well organized hormonal therapy. This treatment may be well worth it if your acne is beyond the control of standard measures.

Proper skin care and proper hygiene are useful to control acne, even though won't make it disappear. It doesn't matter what people are telling you, diet is not an important factor in acne. In short, if you get acne it does not have anything to do with what you are doing.

Though acne is expected to clear away after teens, it can stay for many years. If acne disturbs you too much, get medical assistance as soon as possible.

What is Acne?

2011-01-15T01:03:00.000-08:00

By Nigel Lane - May 30, 2010
Acne has been called many different names over the past years but in reality they all refer to the same skin condition. Acne is actually a disorder of the oil glands. These particular oil glands can be found on the face, neck, chest, shoulders and back. These glands contain a material that makes lubrication for the skins surface. This lubrication normally comes out through the skins pores, which consist of a tiny hair and hair follicle. The problem with acne occurs when the skins pores become plugged and the sebum produced cannot make it to the surface, but instead it gets stuck in the hair follicle.
This creates bacteria in the skin that begins to multiply and can then cause inflammation and lesions on the skin to appear. This results in the formation of acne.
Many people believe that acne is caused by a change in your hormones while others say your diet is the controlling factor. There have even been people to say that your genetics can have a big part in determining if you are going to have acne or not. The one thing to remember is that you are not alone in dealing with acne because there are millions of people who deal with the problem everyday.
No one is immune from acne and it can occur in adults and teenagers alike. People were under the impression that acne only occurred in teens but that has been proven to be incorrect because millions of adults suffer from the same condition.
Since the face is the first thing that others look at when they see you it can be very frustrating to have acne. Acne can be a very irritating thing to deal with but there are options to help with treating acne and getting rid of it for good.
The first thing that you are going to have to do is figure out the cause of your acne breakouts that way you can figure out what you need to change in order to prevent them from happening in the future. You need to understand what acne is and how it gets there in the first place.

Acne Be Gone

Have you been faced with embarrassing acne and don’t know what to do to get rid of it? Have you tried everything but nothing offered any satisfactory long-term results? What about trying some proven home remedies in an attempt to alleviate your acne problems?
Well, now there are some home remedies to aid in the treatment of acne. The first step to clearing up problem skin is eating healthy and drinking water. When you drink water it helps to flush out all of the toxins that are built up in your bloodstream. When you have toxins in your body it contributes to breakouts. The same is true about eating fatty, greasy foods. When you eat the greasy foods it causes breakouts as well, no to mention it can mess with your insulin and hormone levels. Apricot juice has also been effective at eliminating acne fast. You simply rub the juice on your acne for about 10 minutes everyday. You can also try mixing vinegar and salt in a bowl of warm water and then gently apply the mixture to your face. Let it stay there for about 20 minutes and then wash it off.
Some other treatments for acne include the use of rosehip seed oil which is used in cosmetics. It can also help to get rid of acne scars by simply applying the oil on your acne for 15 minutes at a time, twice per day. Another method is to wash your face with soap, such as sorbital or glycerin soap. In order to help combat acne and keep your skin free of oil you should wash your face at least three times per day. The recommended soap is Neutrogena. If you use these remedies you can combat acne and won’t have to worry about acne causing you embarrassment anymore. If you are treating acne home remedies are the best possible option in order to keep your skin clean and clear. Often people find themselves buying over the counter medications or getting prescriptions for creams to try and eliminate their acne problems. There are creams and other formulas out there but the majority of people have found that those don’t work as well as the home remedies. They get stuck in a never ending scenario where the problem just keeps happening over and over again. The problem with over the counter medications is that they focus more on treating the symptoms of acne instead of the skin condition itself.

Smoking is a terrible habit; it threatens not only your own life, but also the lives of those you love and even strangers around you. Chances are you take at least a small interest in your health.
When most people think of mouth cancer, they picture chewing tobacco as the likely culprit. However, smokers are 6 times more likely to develop mouth cancer than nonsmokers are. If you add alcohol use on top of smoking, the risk jumps up to 15 times greater likelihood. While smokeless tobacco (chewing tobacco and snuff) are 50 times more likely to develop mouth cancer, Quit smoking today can reduce the chance of developing mouth cancer, throat cancer, cancer of the voice box and cancer of the esophagus (as well as a host of other frightening diseases).
Smoking is a terrible habit; it threatens not only your own life, but also the lives of those you love and even strangers around you. Chances are you take at least a small interest in your health. Perhaps you eat more than the required number of vegetables each day. Perhaps you have a great exercise routine that helps you shed those pounds and increase your health (in theory). Maybe you routinely ensure you are getting the best vitamin intake possible. However, if you continue smoking, all that effort is for naught. Quit smoking is the only way you can ensure you enjoy the benefits from everything else you do. Smoking is such a terrible habit that it negates all the health benefits you thought you were getting.
Mouth cancer from smoking is horrible. Not only does it disfigure your smile, ruin your teeth and gums, but it shortens your life by an incredible amount. Smokers live 15 years less than nonsmokers, even without cancer in the picture. However, mouth cancer can shorten that lifespan even more. Tongue cancer, gum cancer, cancer of the floor of the mouth and esophageal cancer are frightening and lead to many things. Imagine never being able to smile because your gums are blackened, bleeding and oozing. Imagine no longer being able to speak because of tongue cancer. Consider the ramifications of breathing through a tracheal tube, because your habit leads to esophageal cancer. It's not a pretty picture, is it?
Quit smoking right now can help you beat these horrors. Scientific studies show that those who quit smoking can develop the cancer resistance of a nonsmoker within years, helping you extend your lifespan and feel better throughout your life. Quit smoking is the only way to help ensure you do not suffer the horror, the social ostracizing and disfigurement of mouth cancer.

2011-01-15T00:52:00.001-08:00

By Dr. Mital John - Jun 30, 2010

When blood cholesterol level or specifically LDL cholesterol level rises in blood, there exist greater chances of plaque formation thus resulting in narrowed arteries. These narrowed arteries perturb smooth flow of blood causing heart to exert more pressure to pump blood, giving way to hypertension.

Most important function that HDL performs is curbing LDL menace by bringing LDL back to liver from arteries. By performing this task HDL greatly contributes in checking plaque formation and in turn helps prevent coronary artery diseases. With high level of HDL you have little chances of falling prey to strokes.

The cholesterol in the blood is of two kinds, LDL and HDL. LDL which is low density lipoprotein is considered to be bad whereas HDL or High density lipoprotein is good. However the total amount of cholesterol is the sum of HDL and LDL in certain proportions in the blood. The exact proportion of HDL and LDL differs from person to person.

The pressure exerted by the blood when the heart contracts is known as systolic blood pressure and the pressure exerted when the heart dilates is known as diastolic blood pressure. Garlic and bean intake could be increased. Garlic is considered as one of the natural medicines for cholesterol control. You can consume few cloves of garlic everyday to reduce LDL. Different types of beans are rich in pectin that happens to be an effective cholesterol reducing agent.

Natural Supplements for Low Cholesterol Levels: -

• Beta Sitosterol: It is a plant sterol which reduce cholesterol levels
• Niacin: It is Vitamin B3 which lowers LDL cholesterol by 20%
• Fish oils
• Green Tea
• Psyllium and Flax seeds: These contain fibers which reduce the cholesterol levels
• Mangosteen and sytrinol: These are fruit extracts which reduce cholesterol levels
• Policosanol: it is derived from sugar cane and it reduces LDL cholesterol by nearly 25%
• Cholestin: It is a processed form of red yeast fermented with rice. Cholestin lowers LDL cholesterol by 20-30%. It also raises HDL.
• Soy protein: The isoflavones in it brings down LDL cholesterol by 10%
• Garlic: It reduces LDL cholesterol by 12%

By Dr. Lee Mikal - Jul 1, 2010

Morning sickness refers to the sickness and vomiting that some women have when they become pregnant.

It is caused by the sudden increase in hormones throughout pregnancy. Although morning sickness is more ordinary in the morning, it can occur at anytime of the day or night.

Morning sickness is very ordinary. Most pregnant women have at least some nausea, and about a third has vomiting.

Morning sickness usually begins during the first month of pregnancy and continues through the 14th to 16th week (3rd or 4th month). Some women have nausea and vomiting through their entire pregnancy.

Morning sickness does not hurt the baby in any way unless you lose weight, such as with severe vomiting.

The amount of morning sickness for the duration of one pregnancy does not predict how you will feel in future pregnancies.

Causes of Morning Sickness

1. Hormone Progesterone- the hormone is to blame for many pregnancy symptom. Progesterone slows down many metabolic function in the body, including digestion.

2. This makes it hard for you to digest food as quickly as you used to, making you prone to morning sickness.

3. HCG- the HCG and estrogen hormones are also one of the morning sickness causes. Once HCG is released in the blood stream in a certain amount, it makes you feel queasy.

last minute help at wedding

By humphrey.john - Jul 8, 2010
"Desperate times calls for desperate measures, but what if there is no time at all, like my daughter Anna, who just announced her wedding with her handsome boyfriend, believe me all hell broke loose there was so much to do and so less time. Going to the beautician for hair straightening was even better, fortunately my neighbor was of great assistance, her Babyliss hair straightener and Remington hair dryer got the better of my hair. The results were breath taking and the entire wedding was spent explaining that I simply did not go to a beauty parlor.

I would not hide the appreciation I got for the cake and pastries which I managed to make in a few hours for the entire party with the aid of Kenwood blender also the Krups coffee maker that my husband purchased a few days beack, was on perpetual demand by our guests.

This was easy but preparing something for the snacks has never been better, especially when you are equipped with gadgets like Philips ice cream maker and Morphy Richards deep fryers. The kids just love the ice-cream and French fries which were both mouth watering and taste makers for burgers and soda. I still remember how happy I was after the marriage these home appliances though look like cute little pieces of human ingenuity but paved a great path for saving time and money spent on the wedding.

The wedding was just one part the after effect was a poignant headache and back ace, I was reluctant to ask Jim my husband for a massage, as he was tired as bull, but then I saw a gift, that my daughter left for me ,before leaving tagged, “all your pains are gone”, anxious I opened the gift and to my surprise it happened to be a Homedics shiatsu massager. My girl knew exactly that her mother would require a full hot back massage especially since I have a severe cervical spondilities.

In another wrap, which was for Jim, tagged, “do not let it rise” , was Resperate ultra blood pressure lowering device , Anna has always been like that very concern and decent kid worrying out of turn for us especially for Jim since his last stroke which was a result of high blood pressure. Gifts like these from your kids make you a proud parent and vouches for the fact that you did gave your child a conjile upbringing.

When the party was over and the house was clean one of my friends asked me how did I managed the entire wedding at such short notice, I just added in such a small budget not the least Philips ice cream maker and Morphy Richards deep fryers which acted as my helper while cooking and Babyliss hair straightener and Remington hari dryer were my personal beautician.

My friend was indeed astounded by the time and money I saved, which was later spent on my daughters honeymoon package to Hawaii.

I believe I am a proud and a smart mother and a homemaker who knows how to cut pieces and make a coat, what are you?

Making The Vagina Tighter With Natural Treatment

2011-01-15T00:45:00.000-08:00

By shekhar malhotra - Jul 11, 2010

Having a loose vagina can have many adverse effects both physically and mentally. In this article let us discuss about the causes, effects and remedial measures for a loose vagina.

Causes
It is mainly caused due to aging but there are other reasons also which can make a vagina loose like insertion of large objects into it, childbirth, being overweight and sometimes even younger girls can suffer from this problem due to a sedentary lifestyle and a depleted sexual health.

Having a loose vagina can make a dent in women self confidence as they are well aware of the fact that men love having sex with women who have a tighter vagina it is because there is an enhanced feeling of penetration in a tight vagina. In fact it can create a rift in a relationship because a good sexual life is very important for happy and lasting relationship.

Remedies

Vitamin B12: for good heath

2011-01-15T00:44:00.000-08:00

By susancal - Jul 12, 2010

Vitamin B12 is a supplement used to treat diseases and also can give a helpful boost of energy. It is a vitamin that we can gain by eating animal products like meat and eggs. It is found in the highest concentration in the liver. There are also supplemental forms that can be found online or in a healthfood store. If you decide to supplement your diet with b12, sublingual lozenges can be an effective way to boost levels.
Sublingual B12 can be found in lozenge form and placed under the tongue for fast absorption into the body. It is the most cost effective and easy ways to raise your b12 levels. A lozenge can be placed under the tongue and will dissolve in 5 or 10 minutes, it is usually tasteless or has a slight cherry flavor.
If you opt to take vitamin b12 in pill form, you should know that this is not the best way to increase levels of b12. Vitamin b12 needs a substance called intrinsic factor to be absorbed by the lining of the stomach. Some people can have lower than normal levels of intrinsic factor, so b12 will not be easily absorbed through the stomach lining. This is why most people opt for the sublingual or injectable forms.
The injectable form of b12 will raise levels the quickest, because it goes directly into the blood stream. If your choose this type, you should be able to administer the shot yourself, because injections are usually administered once or twice per week. But if you have a difficult time administering shots to yourself, the sublingual form may be preferable to you. This form is the 2nd most effective because it can pass quickly through the thin membrane of the tongue and straight into the blood stream.

Easy Ways To Put A Stop To Snoring

2011-01-15T00:43:00.000-08:00

By Naomi West - Jul 16, 2010

Snoring is a problem that several couples have to battle with. The individual who does the snoring may seem like they are sleeping peacefully - but in reality they are not able to fall into a REM sleep and are therefore losing out on sleep. Their spouse cannot sleep at all or is falling asleep at such a late hour in the night that they are not able to get much of it.

You can purchase a mouthpiece that will serve to move your jaw in a way that it will help to stop the noise. If this is not sufficient than you are able to try a couple of remedies that will not cost you a thing.

If you are prone to drinking alcohol before bed and a few hours before you fall asleep than now is the time to quit. Alcohol is well-known for relaxing the body and that also includes the throat. When your throat is slacked it will force your tongue to fall back into it and cause the troubling noise everybody hates so much.

One of the easiest things you have the ability to do is to prop your head and torso six inches above the remainder of your body. If that does not work than lay down on your side and stomach rather than your back.

Dairy foods is another culprit that we never recognized could cause problems. Warm milk might be known to aid you to fall asleep - but it will cause mucus to develop. The more mucus there is in the throat the more you will snore.

Do you consume big meals or snacks if they are three hours before bed? This is a big no-no for two reasons. It may induce acid reflux - which will drive the acid in your stomach up to your throat. Not only will this induce you to snore - but it can hurt your esophagus. This is one snoring remedy that has helped numerous people.

Because the foot is oftentimes cooler compare to other body parts, this has an unsuitable effect because of the fact that the crystals incline to be deposited smoothly in low temperatures. This is likewise, why people who suffer from gout are having a difficult time during cold season. Gout is a direct outcome of the torso being incapable to clean itself of the uric acid and this situation usually affects several men and women.

This is an excellent, if somewhat unkempt, ointment to be rubbed in the affected body parts.

For individuals who would desire a gout remedy, which is a little more appealing, probably the consecutive will suit for them. Combine 700 or thus milliliters of a pleasant quality Vodka along with two tbsp. of lilac blooms and allowing the mixture to remain for one week before consuming 50 drops daily, and constantly before meal. This is one of the most efficient remedies for gout at alleviating the pain and adding a positive stimulation to the procedure.

How to Stop Heavy Menstrual Bleeding

2011-01-11T22:23:00.000-08:00

By Dr. Mital John - Aug 11, 2010

Every minute of the day in America, menopausal women are heating up, and by this, I mean hot flashes. Hormone treatments have so many side effects; you would think that there would be a better way. Well there is. In fact, you can control your menopause symptoms with a vegetarian diet.

Only seven percent of Japanese women suffer from hot flashes, these Japanese women live in America. In Japan, there is not a word in their language for hot flashes. So what are the eastern women doing differently from the women of the western world? First thing that comes to my mind is diet. If you are interested in controlling your hot flashes and other menopause symptoms then follow these tips.

Signs of Menopause

Women entering menopause may notice irregular or missed periods, which lead to a decrease in fertility. Other signs of menopause include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, incontinence, fatigue, memory problems, mood swings, weight gain and changes in skin texture. A menstrual cycle, or period, is Mother Nature's way of allowing women to monitor their reproductive health. During puberty, most girls develop a menstrual cycle, indicating their fertility. This cycle occurs once a month for up to forty years. For one reason or another, a woman may desire to stop her period from occurring. Depending on her age and lifetime goals, there are a few options that can block a menstrual cycle from occurring.

Heavy menstrual bleeding is common during menopause, but is usually easy to treat. As the hormones begin to change as women get older, periods begin to become less frequent, and often times the bleeding becomes heavier. Luckily, natural remedies can help to prevent and treat this common problem. These can also be used to help reduce your regular menstruation before menopause as well.

• B-Complex Vitamins: B-Complex Vitamins help to prevent heavy bleeding by helping to stabilize the estrogen levels.
• Vitamin A: Vitamin A helps to treat excessive bleeding for most women. It's best to either take it in supplemental form with meals, or try to eat it naturally in your diet.
• Vitamin C: Vitamin C with Bioflavonoid helps to reduce heavy bleeding. It works best when you take around 2,000 milligrams a day with meals. You can take the Bioflavonoid separately, but it's best to take them together. If you take the bioflavonoid separately, try to take somewhere around 1,000 milligrams per day.
• Eat brown rice for the first 10 days, after that jasmine rice can be added to your diet. No other white food; bread, potatoes, sugar, and forget about chips!
• Add vegetables, fruits, soy, and tofu, whole grains, seaweed, and grass; barley and wheat to your diet. If you stick with this diet you will consume vegetable protein, low fat, moderate soy compounds, which have plentiful photo estrogen’s which mimic female hormones.

Almost all drinking alcoholic beverages in most social outings, because "so typical" or "to relax". Unfortunately, the drink is not always harmless and beyond the simple use of drug abuse and alcoholism, alcohol dependence, is not easily discernible.
The liver or liver is one of the bodies are often destroyed by alcohol abuse. Of particular importance for your liver is not the type of beverage, but the amount of alcohol.

Lower limit of serious liver disease is the daily consumption of 60 or 40 grams of alcohol for 10-20 years for men and women respectively, but perfectly safe daily consumption are the 20 or 10 grams of alcohol for men or women.

Proceedings, 20 grams of alcohol contained in beer 1 bottle (500 ml), 1 large glass of white wine (180 ml) or red (150 ml) 1 or stronger drinks such as whiskey or vodka (45-50 ml).

Alcoholic liver disease often begins as liposi and can reach up to cirrhosis. The liposi could still be a few days and consumption of enough alcohol, but often fully restored to the discontinuation.
In contrast, cirrhosis is irreversible, but here the discontinuation of alcohol helps significantly in improving and maintaining adequate liver function.
Tips for Liver Care

Liver is one of the most functional organs in the human body. Often referred to as "Engine of the body, the liver plays an important role in digestion, metabolism and structure of key enzymes. Some scientists believe the liver is more valuable than the brain and heart, because the main tasks it performs.

Liver is the largest gland - about the size of a soccer ball - the body on the right side of the abdomen to the lower side and just below the diaphragm. The major functions performed are:

• Releases a substance called "bile" which helps metabolization of carbs, proteins and fats.
• It processes most of the nutrients absorbed from the intestines during digestion and convert nutrients into forms that can be used by the body.
• It stores certain vitamins, minerals (including iron) and sugars, regulates fat stores and controls the production and secretion of cholesterol.
• It detoxifies the body from the harmful effects of drugs, alcohol and environmental toxins.
• Regulates blood composition, including the amounts of glucose (sugar), protein and fat entering the bloodstream. It also monitors the production and secretion of cholesterol.
• He operated as lymph clotting factor to stop the profuse bleeding after cuts or injuries.

Does Care for Liver

• Neem has cleansing properties and can reduce levels of toxicity in the liver and the circulation of your blood. It can also reduce the unnecessary discharge of bile.
• Garlic is also very beneficial to the liver. 3 cloves of garlic a day is very important for a person with a weak liver.
• Bitter gourd (Karela) can be used for detoxification, blood cleansing and care of the liver as well.

Why Sugar Turns You Into A Lardassian

2011-01-11T22:15:00.000-08:00

By Dr Bill Stillwell - Oct 24, 2010

Today, I'm going to try and explain a simple concept about the body
and how it works. I may be using some words you're unfamiliar with,
but this really isn't rocket science.

As I've been writing about lately, the body is built to run on
protein, fruits and vegetables, just as cars are built to run on
gas. Today, some cars run on other fuels, but all of those options
have drawbacks and in some cases, the drawbacks are significant. You
can be a vegetarian, frutarian, vegan, raw foodist and so on, but no
matter what you claim, in most cases, your body is not going to
function optimally on any of those diets.

One only needs to visit a Whole Foods Market to see what damage that
lifestyle can do. You can buy all the food you want, with organic
ingredients, but when you combine those things with rice, pasta,
bread and packaged products, you are still sucking up sugar.

All the crapola (the processed carbohydrates), cause your blood
glucose (blood sugar) to spike. Simple and complex carbohydrates are
both converted into glucose once they enter the body. The difference
is HOW they are converted. Complex carbohydrates (like fruits and
vegetables) convert more slowly than do simple, or refined
carbohydrates (ie., "crapola"). When you eat crapola, your glucose
level shoots up and overloads the system.

Your pancreas then reacts, by secreting high levels of insulin.
Insulin is a hormone that acts as a delivery boy, or courier. It
takes nutrients (glucose) into your muscles, liver and fat cells for
immediate use as fuel. When you eat simple carbs, the sudden drop in
blood sugar (hypoglycemia), that results from insulin pushing the
glucose into the cells, causes you to feel HUNGER and sometimes,
even light headed and lethargic.

The typical response is: EAT! Drink a couple of sodas! Chomp down on
some candy bars!

Then you do it again and again, because you think you are hungry.
This is a vicious cycle.

When your blood sugar is high, your body cannot access fat for fuel
(because it's using the sugar first). And if it can't access the
fat, you can't lose any weight. You can spend hours on the
treadmill, the stairmaster, running, doing cardio till the cows come
home, and still not lose any weight. You can actually get fatter.

But once you stop eating the crapola, the fat melts away, like ice
cream in 100 degree heat.

If you're fat (and studies say 50% of the population is fat, so
there's a good chance you are), your body systems are not working
properly. That means things are not going where they are supposed to
go.

There are two things you need to do to get started on the road to
recovery.

1) Start taking my Powerhouse Omega Formula, a pharmaceutical
grade fish oil that will help start getting all your wires
connected again, and then keep them running cleanly.

2) Stop eating crapola.

Yes, there are more things to do, but that's enough to get started.
One of my readers lost 17 pounds in two months, just by eliminating
soda from his diet. Now, he's working on eliminating rice and pasta.
Big Will Shakerear put it best: To be fat, or not to be fat, that is
the question.

Types and Treatment for Chronic Headaches

2011-01-11T22:08:00.000-08:00

By bruce bud - Dec 15, 2010

t is estimated that between 40 and 50 million Americans suffer from chronic headaches. Headaches are believed to be the result of an electrical and chemical imbalance at centers in the brain that regulate blood vessels around the head and neck. Headaches may be caused by a wide variety of factors including stress, reactions to certain foods, hormonal imbalances, genetic predisposition, fatigue, noise, and glare.

Tension headaches are the most common type and are typically caused by muscle contraction in the head and neck. Lasting between five and six hours, a tension headache is characterized by dull, steady pain that feels like a band tightening around your head. Vascular headaches, which include cluster and migraine headaches, are the result of overactive blood vessels. A migraine can last between 12 and 24 hours and is often accompanied by nausea and other symptoms. Cluster headaches, which typically affect men, are accompanied by throbbing pain around one red, watery eye, and nasal congestion. A sinus headache is characterized by congestion and steady pain behind your face that worsens if you bend forward.

A headache may involve pain in the head, visual impairment such as blurred vision, nausea and vomiting, hearing impairment, irritability, confusion, malaise, or a general feeling of discomfort. Tension-type headaches are often brought on by stress, overexertion, loud noise, and other external factors. The typical tension-type headache is described as a tightening around the head and neck, and an accompanying dull ache.

Types of Chronic Headaches

Chronic headaches may be caused by other chronic pain diagnoses, but the three most common types are migraines, muscle tension headaches and cluster headaches.

Migraines. The exact cause of migraine headaches are still under debate, but most researchers agree that they are neurological in nature. In addition to head pain, migraines are usually accompanied by other symptoms such as visual disturbances, nausea or a funny taste in the mouth.
Tension Headaches. Formerly believed to be caused by muscle tension in the neck and shoulders, tension headaches may actually be a result of the pain control center in the spine receiving too much input from muscles of the head. A tension headache often feels like a band of pressure around the head, and may be accompanied by pain in the neck and shoulders.
Cluster Headaches. Cluster headaches are a bit of a medical mystery. They may be caused by vascular changes in the brain, or by a series of activations in certain areas in the brain. Cluster headaches are distinct in that they occur in short bursts over time.

Treating Chronic Headaches With Medications

Depending on the type of headache, a number of different medications are effective in treating migraines, tension headaches and cluster headaches. Some medications are prophylactic, meaning they are taken regularly to ward off a headache before it happens. Others are abortive medications, which are designed to control headache pain once it has begun.

Many chronic headache medications are available over-the-counter, however some require a doctor's prescription. Also, not all of them are taken orally: some chronic headache treatments are available in topical form, such as pain creams or patches.

Botox Headache

Migraines are intense throbbing headaches occurring on one or both sides of the head. The pain is accompanied by other symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, blurred vision, and aversion to light, sound, and movement. Migraines are often triggered by food items, such as red wine, chocolate, and aged cheeses. For women, a hormonal connection is likely, since headaches occur at specific points in the menstrual cycle, with use of oral contraceptives, or the use of hormone replacement therapy after menopause.

Cluster headaches cause excruciating pain. The severe, stabbing pain centers around one eye, and eye tearing and nasal congestion occur on the same side. The headache lasts from 15 minutes to 4 hours and may recur several times in a day. Heavy smokers are more likely to suffer cluster headaches, which are also associated with alcohol consumption.

Hair Loss and Job Interviews

2011-01-11T22:04:00.000-08:00

By Naomi Mannino Dec 15, 2010

Keep Your Focus on You, Not on Your Hair Loss!

Realize that nobody else is focusing on your hair loss.

Of course your hair loss is a main focus in YOUR life but not in your interviewer's life. "What you've got to realize is that you're having a bigger issue about it than anybody else is," advises Melissa Galt, life and career mentor. Actually the interviewer is looking for someone with the right experience and the right mix of ingenuity and skills to get the job done. They'll see that in the way you present yourself, in your work samples, and in what you say. They'll see your personality in your smile.

"What I've found," says life mentor Leyla Hur, "confidence is the biggest 'lack' that interviewees have. It's not a lack of hair. It does not matter what area you have 'issues' with, it will definitely present itself in any interview situation." Judi Perkins, the How-To Job Coach agrees and advises, "You're simply selling a product and the product is you - if your hair loss is on your mind during the interview then you're only selling your insecurity. And recruiters can smell that a mile away!"

So, how can you rise above your hair loss and let the real you show through?

1. First of all, decide whether some sort of hair loss treatment is necessary. For men, buzzing down to bald is all the rage, according to the big screen actors like Bruce Willis, Jason Statham, Tyler Perry and many more. Some women opt for head wraps and hats of all sorts; some opt for bald like Sheila Bridges, named 'America's Best Interior Designer' by CNN and Time Magazine. Then there are hair systems, hair extensions, and finally wigs - which nowadays are so intricately designed that they look totally natural. "Once you make your choice, stick to it … become it, feel good about it, then forget about it," exclaims Galt.
2. Realize your worth. Galt has come up with this great exercise to help anyone realize their true worth beyond their physical appearance. "Create a larger picture of yourself: Make a list of everything about you without using any physical descriptions. You will shortly see that you are so much more than your hair!"
3. Smile! "A smile is worth 1000 hearts," says Galt who advises that people are attracted to others who smile. Your personality shows through that way and the interviewer will also see someone who loves what they do and has the confidence to show it.
4. Focus on others, not yourself. What skills is the interviewer looking for? What can you bring to the position? How will you fit in to the company? "When I worked as a Head-Hunter in Hong Kong, what we looked for was the way an individual carried themselves, the confidence they exuded, and their expertise for the job," says Hur.
5. Add a picture to your online profiles and your printed cards and resumes. This way, there will be no surprises when you show up at the interviews and you won't have to worry about how you look - the interviewer already knows how you look, has called you in, and wants to hear about how you can benefit the position!

RESUME BUILDER/INTERVIEW PRIMER: The How-To Job Coach Judi Perkins says a great thing to do is focus on your skills and what you have done for the companies you have worked for in the past. Make a two-sided list: On one side, write down everything you have done positively in your career. On the other side write down how each specifically benefitted the company you worked for. This will boost your confidence and help you sell yourself as a contributor of value to your prospective employer.

If you've accomplished this … you will forget all about your hair loss!

This shows the importance of visiting a dentist to get it corrected so that you will be able to retain the original whiteness of your teeth. This is only with the case of adults and children as naught as always as are interested to visit the dentist at least for filling the cavities due to excess in take of chocolates.

The Day Off Lose Weight Diet

2011-01-10T19:38:00.000-08:00

By Joe Pahl

The problem with many diets is that they are just too hard for most people to stick to. Sure, they may do good for a few days, maybe even a week or two. But eventually they go back to their old eating habits and gain back all of the weight they lost plus more. The "Day Off Lose Weight Diet" is a diet that most people can discipline themselves to follow over a long period of time. Each week you are fully rewarded for your efforts, and because of this you are much more likely to stay on the diet.

The Day Off Lose Weight Diet:

The basis of this diet is to follow a restricted eating plan for six days straight and then reward yourself by having one day where you can eat whatever you like.

Diet for the 6 days:

Morning Meals:

- one serving of fresh fruit
- one serving of whole grains (ie. oatmeal)
- one cup of low sugar yogurt
- one cup of green tea

Afternoon Meals:

- one small salad (lettuce, tomato, onions, etc) with low-fat dressing
- one serving of a healthy protein (ie. tuna, turkey, etc) with a complex carbohydrate like steamed vegetables, brown rice, whole grain bread
- one serving of fresh fruit
- one cup of green tea

Dinner Meals:

- one small salad
- one serving of a healthy protein (with complex carb)
- one serving of fresh fruit
- one cup of green tea

Acceptable Snacks:

- vegetables and low-fat dip
- low-fat cottage cheese
- a handful of nuts

On your "off day", you can eat whatever you like without any guilty. It's your reward for being able to stick your lose weight diet plan for six days. So if you have a special craving for a Big Mac of greasy pizza, just be sure to make good choices for six days, and then be able to enjoy that meal on day seven without any reserves. Most people fail to stick to diets plans because they feel that they have to swear off certain foods forever in order to be successful. With the "Day Off Lose Weight Diet Plan", you don't need to do this. All you have to do is swear it off for six days. Then you will have one day to eat whatever foods that you like. Forever is very hard for most people. Six days is a piece of cake.

Fad diets rarely work. Their restrictive nature makes it too difficult for the average person to follow it long enough to reap the benefits from it. And once someone makes a "mistake" with the diet by eating something that they shouldn't, they immediately think that they have failed and give up trying to stick to the diet. The "Day Off Lose Weight Diet Plan" limits its strictness to less than a week. This is well within the comfort level for most people looking to lose a few pounds. And even if you happen to make a bad decision, you can get right back on track for the next six days.

Why Diet Is Important: by Dr Peter Lind

2009-07-05T05:27:00.000-07:00

Diet is the routine of what you eat. Nutrition is the nutritional content of what you consume.
You may eat a diet full of junk; it is still called a diet. Not a good one, but a diet nonetheless. Your diet is a general term you use that may be filled with anything and can do good things to you or bad things. It is a category, a term used to define a list of food that you enjoy. Diet does not mean you are going to loose weight. You are on a diet with anything you eat. We call it your "diet" referring to the food you eat.

Food is the only thing that can provide nutrition to your body. Nutrition varies in quality. You can have a an unhealthy diet or a very healthy diet.

There is much information about diets -- some good, some okay, and some not even worth spending a moment on. How is anyone supposed to know what to do?

Some people spend a lifetime on the subject, and maybe you should, there are only a few great ideas you really need to know. Uninformed people try to want to bend the natural rules that govern a nutritious diet and that becomes a problem.

What is the Real Issue with Diet Food

I know you'd like to buy some kind of diet food and make it work to loose weight for the long-term: it isn't going to happen! It is not possible. Oh, you can loose weight without much thought or direction. You already know what to do.

A challenge is to live a healthy lifestyle while eating packaged diet food. This isn't going to happen unless you make your own diet food.

Commercial diet food does not have vitamins and nutrients and is sold at exuberant prices for your convenience because you work too hard. But if you don't buy packaged food when you come home you work even harder trying to find something to put together for dinner while trying to satisfy finicky eaters who live in your house.

I have great news for you! You can prepare your own diet food! This is true and there are several good reasons to do this. The benefits of preparing your own diet food:

Taste better than what is soaked in food additives and chemicals Is healthier than commercial diet foods Allows your family to become healthy food experts in the kitchen

It takes planning and attention but isn't it worth the effort? Food that you consume goes into your body and makes you healthy or unhealthy.

Weight Loss for the Weak of Mind

Weight loss motivation is one of the most important parts to diet and weight loss.

Here are just a few motivation tips to keep you motivated to your plan.

Only weigh yourself once a week. Plan long term about this project. This is a lifestyle change so go easy on yourself. If you look at a scale every week, you know whether you need to make changes or not. Keep a picture of the heavier version of yourself in plain sight. This picture will remind you why you need to loose weight and will keep you from sliding back into old habits. It will also remind you of how far you have come and how much better you will look.

Visualize your new you everyday. Visualize about how you want yourself to look. If you have achieved your new goals then just imagine yourself doing some new things, in your new body.

Set your goals farther and higher. If you reach your ideal weight, then you should set some new goals that will push you further into health. If you don't, you will likely fall back into old habits. Keep pushing to keep yourself busy and achieve what you haven't thought possible. For example if you have reached your ideal weight, then set a goal to add muscle. Think about yourself in perfect health, like you never imagined you could. Look long and hard, set your goal and then reach it. Nothing will keep you more motivated then setting and accomplishing your new goals.

Get a manual about food, diet, and weight loss. There's nothing like a program of how to eat that will motivate you.

Since you've read this far I might as well let you in on a secret. Eating correctly is easy. The difficult part is setting your rules. When you set your rules you are less likely to fail. Sure, you will stumble. But don't get down on yourself. On the other hand you've got to keep going. You can't give up because you've messed up a day or week's diet.

Your main problem is gaining confidence in yourself to trust what you decide about your food rules. You are the only one that can make them, only you can follow them, only you can break them, and only you can re-set them.

Most beauty care products contain harmful chemicals and are not safe to use. They can damage your skin more than you can imagine. Many of the dermatologists and cosmetologists in today's market advise their clients to use natural and herbal products for their skin. As a result, many cosmetic companies have launched several herbal products and have seen increases in their sales. Natural herbs are gentle on the skin; they always nourish it thoroughly. Some of the ingredients used in these natural products are: shea butter, aloe vera, essential oils and herbs such as lime flowers, dandelion, rosemary, chamomile and tea tree oil.
Many herbal skin care products were used in ancient times and, much to our surprise, are still being used today. Modern scientific studies have verified this as fact. These products were judged as good for the skin. So, as a result, the request that natural, herbal products be used in today's cosmetics has been on the increase. Many cosmetic companies have taken note of these requests. But, some of them have added preservatives with the herbal products to enhance their shelf life. Depending on the amount of preservatives added, some herbal products become less effective. Nevertheless, in today's market, people have begun to realize that herbal skin care products, as opposed to chemically-based products, are best for their skin. And with their hectic lifestyles and the commercialization of most skin care products, it is difficult to find good herbal skin care products for use at home.

Herbal skin care products are made from one herb or a mixture of various herbs. As consumers, you should always read the list of ingredients carefully before buying an herbal based product. Please check to see if the product contains any chemicals or preservatives. Many herbal supplements are used in herbal skin care products to address skin care problems. These supplements may be used; your skin will remain healthy and retain its natural beauty. Natural herbs are found in many cleansers, moisturizers, toners and in hand, foot and eye creams. These items are made from natural products which will add a certain 'glow' to your skin. Remember, many scientists believe that by using natural herbal products, only an 'ultimate perfection' will show in your skin.

Treating your skin with an aloe vera treatment is one of the more popular herbal skin care treatments. Aloe vera, being a very effective herb, helps the skin by removing sun burns and heals cuts. Rosemary, lime flowers and other herbs have a wonderful cleansing property that is so good for your skin. Rose water and lavender are the best natural toners. Marigold, thyme and fennel have extremely effective antiseptic properties. Shea butter is very effective in healing scars, maintaining moisture and providing protection from the sun's UV rays.

If you want products that are extremely good for your eyes, skin or hair, then always use herbal skin care products. You will get a healthy look from within and it will show up on your skin. Even if you get an herbal skin treatment at a salon or spa, try to treat yourself with similar natural products when at home. These products will protect your skin regardless of the weather conditions.

Remember this: herbal skin care products, with their natural ingredients, are best for your skin. They do not contain harsh chemicals which, throughout history, have proven to be harmful to skin. So, create an asset in your life by having good health and good looking skin. Look beautiful and natural! Use nature's natural herbal skin care products.

Natural Hair Care by Sara Gregory

2009-07-05T05:23:00.000-07:00

Everyone on this earth is fond of natural hairs. But it's not possible for everyone to maintain their natural hair because of their busy life and unhealthy eating habits. To make your hair look naturally beautiful, you yourself have to take good care of it. Here are some of the tips that might help you to maintain your natural hair:
1. Eating healthy: This is one of the most important points to be considered. For many of us with fast moving lives, we grab whatever we can lay our hands on through some drive thru and often eat in the car. Let's get back to basics by eating fresh fruits and green leafy vegetables (collard greens count too) as these will provide you with the appropriate vitamins and minerals. Vitamin B, C, and E encourage hair growth and make this growth sustainable and healthy. Water intake also removes the toxins from your body and provides you with shiny, bouncy hair not to mention glowing skin.

2. Use of appropriate shampoo: Stay away from drying, stripping shampoo products. Although these kinds of products produce lots of lather, they are harsh on your hair and tend to dry out the hair. You should use shampoos which contain decyl glucose, or decyl glucoside as they are very gentle on natural hair.

3. Regular oil moisturize: You should regularly oil your hair. Use a nature-based hair oil. Apply a small amount with your finger-tips directly to your scalp and massage it through the hair shaft. Apply a dime-sized amount to you hair prior to wrapping your hair with a silk sleep cloth at night. This will help maintain your natural hair by preventing your hair from drying.

4. Remove hair accessories: Do not use hair accessories such as scrunchies, bobby-pins, head bands, rubber bands and barrettes when you are sleeping. These will damage your hair and will lead to hair breakage.

5. Hair gels, colors and mousse: Avoid excess usage of permanent hair colors, especially if you relax or perm you hair. Limit the use of hair sprays or spritz containing a lot of alcohol. Give it the smell test. Spray it, and then smell it. If you smell a heavy alcohol odor, either limit your use or do not use it at all. New gentle products, such as hair mists, which are combination sheen and holding products) and hair masks, which are mild gels enabling you to keep your look and re-manipulate your hair the next day) are more gentle and practical product alternatives. You should always air dry or use a hooded dryer to dry your hair first instead of blow-drying. Once your hair is fairly dry, then use the blow dryer and/or flat iron to completely dry and further straighten your hair. Use hair butters and light oils (elixirs) to make your hair soft and smooth. Mousses are a great way to smooth and shape your hair during the drying process.

6. Use wide toothed comb: Wide toothed combs are always recommended as boar hair brushes can really make your hair weak and will break it in large amounts when used on wet or fragile hair. You can even untangle your hair with your fingers when it is wet to decrease the likelihood of damaging it when combing your hair wet.

7. Hair massage: This is also important, as it will increase the blood flow to the scalp. The roots of your hair will get the proper nourishment, which in turn, will help in hair growth. Touch your hair and scalp. Put a small amount of hair oil on your fingertips (not finger nails) and massage your scalp for at least 120 seconds twice daily. Hair Trimming: You should go for regular hair trimmings. Having your hair trimmed will remove split ends and make your hair look beautiful! Ignoring split ends to save the length of you hair will only leave you with bushy unhealthy looking hair as the hair shaft will continue to split unless cut.

8. Natural products: Use natural herbal hair care products to have long and beautiful hair. Natural products do not contain harmful products and are very safe to use.

9. Use natural herbal hair products: When caring for your hair, use natural herbal hair care products. Natural herbal hair care products contain fewer chemicals linked to common hair and skin irritation and are safe and gentle to use. But, more importantly, your hair will look and feel more healthy and beautiful.

These simple tips will help you to maintain your natural hair. So, from now on, flaunt your natural beauty.

Beauty Care: Facts and Myths by Sara Gregory

2009-07-05T05:21:00.000-07:00

There are many beauty care facts and myths flying all over the world. Some of the myths remain forever and spread like a wildfire. But, in order to ease your mind, here are some facts and myths about beauty care:
Myth: Natural products are the safest

Fact: That statement is not a myth. Natural products are the safest to use. However, some natural products should not be applied directly on your skin. Fruit acids, tea tree oil and witch hazels should not be applied to your skin.

Myth: Washing your hair everyday makes it dry and lifeless.

Fact: That statement may be true. But, you have to choose and then use a suitable shampoo for your hair. Find a shampoo that will add moisture to your hair instead of making it dull and dry. Treating your hair with a more suitable shampoo will add beauty, depth and life to your hair. When it comes to black hair, moisture is key. Everyday washing, followed by a heat process may make the hair more dry than needed.

Myth: Cutting your hair regularly will help it grow longer.

Fact: You may only help to increase the length of your hair by allowing the proper blood flow to your scalp and hair follicles. When you regularly trim your hair, a process takes place which creates a healthy condition that is suitable for hair growth.

Myth: Cosmetics contain harmful and toxic ingredients

Myth: Cosmetics contain harmful and toxic ingredients that are bad for your skin

Fact: Not all cosmetics are harmful to the skin. There are two important factors which may determine how harmful a product may be: (1) your skin type and (2) the products used by a cosmetic company. You should know your skin type and only use products that are suitable for you. Cosmetic companies are supposed to follow some standard rules and regulations of regulatory agencies so that their ingredients may be used by most consumers.

Myth: If you sleep with wet hair it will cause scalp fungus

Fact: Scalp fungus is not caused by sleeping with wet scalp. However, you may develop a scalp fungus due to infected hair care tools and other human errors.

Myth: Using lemon juice causes hair to lighten or become blonde

Fact: This is not true. Lemon juice tends to provide shine to the hair but it does not change its color.

Myth: Brushing thinning hair will make it thinner

Fact: If you use a good hair brush then your hair loss problem will not be aggravated. You can only lose hair that is ready to fall out. But remember, brushing your hair excessively is always discouraged.

Myth: Eating foods that contain oil will lead to acne and pimples

Fact: That statement is not true. Acne and pimples occur when the pores of the skin are not cleaned properly. Skin pores become clogged with dirt and oil which then turn into pimples and acne. Bacterial growth and hormonal changes lead to acne as well. But, regardless of what we eat, consistently consuming a healthy diet is always advisable.

Myth: Do not use sunscreen lotion if you are black or multi-cultural. It's a waste of money.

Fact: That statement is false. Sunscreen lotion should be used daily when you are exposing yourself to direct sunlight. The sun contains UV (ultra violet) rays that are harmful to human skin regardless of color or lack thereof. Additionally, using products heavy in shea butter, as shea butter is a natural sunscreen, is also advisable.

Myth: Oiling your hair leads to thicker and stronger hair

Fact: This statement is false. Oiling your hair regularly makes the texture of your hair smoother. It also prevents your hair from becoming dry or brittle. However, it does not make your hair thicker or stronger. If you maintain a consistently healthy diet and give your hair excellent care, you will notice that your hair will appear healthy and vibrant. Keeping the proper moisture balance in your hair and scalp creates a more stable environment suitable for hair growth. It also helps prevent breakage.

Use These Acne Home Treatments And Thank Yourself Tomorrow by Randy Short

2009-07-05T05:20:00.000-07:00

The following are 3 key tips necessary for a successful acne home cure.

1) Do your homework. What do I mean? If you want to try out a particular acne home treatment, be kind to yourself and just invest say 1 hour and hit the net. "Well I am on the internet", I can hear you assert. Yes, you are. But I mean look where it counts the most. What should you look for : read up comments about that home cure you want to try out, check the trustworthiness of the source ; are there affidavits or success stories? Are there real folks, who've attempted the technique and reported success with it, are you contact these people?

This is particularly significant if you have tried a zillion ( unsuccessful ) strategies for getting rid of these annoying zits.

You want to be self confident and remain so, to be in a position to treat that acne successfully. Depending on the seriousness of your acne, the nature of your own skin and the efficacy of the acne home cure technique you are using, you could need to exercise patience to reach your target of a pretty, smooth and acne-free face skin.

3) Pay attention to the particular food types you are taking that trigger acne outbreaks on your face. You must start taking note of this. So the next time you have a sudden breakout, stop and think over your meals.

Some of the foods that folks have announced to cause their breakouts to get worse or trigger their acne include: chocolate, nuts, coffee. You just work on yourself and try identifying the cause in your case, if there's a specific trigger.

There is a lot of misinformation on the market about the cause and cure of bad breath, also known as halitosis.The source of the smelly odor is actual

2009-07-05T05:15:00.000-07:00

There is a lot of misinformation on the market about the cause and cure of bad breath, also known as halitosis.The source of the smelly odor is actually a number of sulfur compounds which are given off by anaerobic bacteria that are found in the papillae(fibres that compose the tongue) beneath the surface of the tongue. Also in the throat and the tonsils. These bacteria react to changes in their environment by producing odorous and awful tasting Volatile Sulfur Compounds (VSCs). These VSCs include hydrogen sulfide (smells like rotten eggs), methyl mercaptan (smells like old Gym socks), Putrescine and Cadaverine (smells like old garbage) and several other chemicals.
The only scientifically proven and really effective method of halting Halitosis is by attacking the bacteria's ability to produce VSC's and by converting the VSC's into non-odorous and non-tasting organic salts.

The following are some conditions that can serve as a catalyst or a trigger for bad breath: * Dry mouth * Thick saliva * Excess mucus in the throat * Post nasal drip * High protein diet (e.g., dairy foods, red meat, beans, etc.) * Smoking * Alcohol (often found in mouthwash!) * Hormonal fluctuations * Medications causing dry mouth as a side-effect (anti-depressants, high blood pressure medications, anti-histamines, etc.) * Diabetes * Special diets (e.g., Atkins Diet or other high protein diets)

You may be asking "What about onions and garlic? What does bacteria have to do with the bad breath I get when I eat Italian foods?" The truth is that sulfur is also the culprit in cases of bad breath caused by food odors. Onions, garlic, and other spicy foods contain a variety of sulfur compounds, known as mercaptans, which are very odorous. In other words, nearly all cases of bad breath and/or taste disorders (also called halitosis) involve good bacteria and should never be treated with antibiotics. It's the sulfur compounds produced by these bacteria that cause the unpleasant odor, not the bacteria themselves. Sadly, some physicians make the mistake of prescribing antibiotics for bad breath!

Why Dry Mouth Causes Bad Breath

The term anerobic bacteria denotes that these bacteria thrive in an oxygen free environment . It is precisely in this lack of oxygen that they produce the bad smelling sulfur compounds. But, your saliva is very rich in oxygen which keeps your mouth fresh and healthy. Indeed saliva may be called nature's breath freshener. A dry mouth means a lack of saliva which means less oxygen, resulting in an anaerobic condition which causes the bacteria to produce odorous sulfur compounds. For these reasons a dry mouth is a most common cause of halitosis. But what are some of the causes of dry mouth? Sometimes this is a side effect of some prescription medicines used to treat high hypertension and depression. Also antihistamines and drinks containing alcohol. Ironically some mouthwashes contain alcohol and so can be a source of bad breath!

Can Post-Nasal Drip Cause Bad Breath?

In this situation, mucus accumulates in the throat area and on the back of the tongue. But this mucus consists basically of chains of protein molecules which the bacteria break down to produce odorous sulfur compounds. And if you use antihystamines to stop the nasal drip, this can cause your mouth to dry out thus depleting the oxygen rich saliva. And this makes a bad situation worse.

Aloe Vera and Sea Vegetable as a Vitamin Supplement

2007-10-12T21:47:00.000-07:00

by Ronald Godlewski

Everything that grows from the earth has nutrients and vitamins in it. This is the same whether grown from land or in the sea. We can even create nutrient dense supplements by combining plants from both land and sea. The question then becomes, can a nutrient rich combination of land and sea provide health benefits? The answer is an emphatic yes! Plants, especially those that are considered rich in nutrients, contain the very same nutrients and vitamins that our bodies need.

Not all plants are healthy for us. Some plants contain more than nutrients and vitamins. Plants can be poisonous or harmful. It's important to find the plants that are good for you. The plants that will provide a health benefit, such as those that provide a vitamin A source.

The planet, OUR planet, has been suffering from a problem for a long time. The soil in which we grow our vegetables has become depleted of its nutrients. The plants, fruits, and vegetables grown on land simply don't have the nutritional punch they had just 50 years ago. Even the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has increased the recommended servings per day. This is due, in part, to the depletion of our soils from farming too much, not rotating crops, picking crops too early, and pesticides.

Because of the depletion of vitamins in the soils we need to enhance or supplement the foods we eat. We often try to do it ourselves, sometimes messing it up and only restoring part of the nutrition that is missing. Sometime we overload on one vitamin supplement or another. It is important to achieve balance. Body balance, the balance of nutritional supplement and daily meals, results in a healthy and vibrant body.

Sea plants, sometimes called seaweed but more correctly called sea vegetables, are still in good shape. They do not have to grow in the ocean floor like plants on land need to do. A sea vegetable floats in the ocean absorbing its nutrients straight from the sea. Those nutrients are in pure form and not depleted. Sea vegetables are a rich source of nutrients that would make a great vitamin supplement.

Sea plants are high in vitamins and nutrients, and have been used all over the world. Combining sea vegetables with land grown plants that are still nutrient rich such as aloe vera creates a vitamin for energy. Think about the impact on your body if someone were to combine the benefit of aloe vera with the vitamin benefit of sea vegetables. Many Japanese have diets consisting of nearly 25% sea vegetables and as a result have the most people living past their 100th birthday and long before the ancient Greeks, aloe vera was used as a medicinal herb.

Mangosteen Fruit: What is it and Where Can I Find it?

2007-10-10T20:37:00.000-07:00

by Kerry Ng

The Mangosteen trees are a tall, pyramid-shaped tree that originated from South East Asia. The Mangosteen trees are grown in Asia, Africa, India and some areas in Central and South America. The trees are very sensitive to cold weather and anything below 45 degrees Fahrenheit will kill these trees.

The Mangosteen trees are very difficult to grow because these trees like lots of humidity and rain, but do not like the soil to be too wet. The trees do not like higher elevations, salt air, cold weather, and sandy or silt soil. They do like to grow in Asia and Africa, below 200 degrees latitude, then rain forest conditions, the way from the coast and in rich loamy soil.

The Mangosteen tree starts to produce when they are about ten years old. The Mangosteen fruit are small (1-3 inches) and purple. The top of the fruit has a small Rosette-shaped blossom remnant with 4 to 8 the triangular segments.

The Mangosteen fruits have two parts to them; a white center fruit and a purple outer hull. The White center part of the fruit is divided into different segments. There's one segment for each triangle in the blossom remnant. The white part of the fruit it is well known for its flavor and some people feel that this fruit is one of the most delicious fruits in the world.

The outer part of the Mangosteen fruit this thick and purple. It does contain bitter latex and the purple juice itself it is a permanent dye. The Mangosteen fruit has over 40 different xanthones and the outer rind it is one of the richest sources of sxanthones in the world.

Where Can I Buy The Mangosteen Fruit?

You can purchase them Mangosteen fruit wherever it is grown. It can be a challenge to purchase the Mangosteen fruit locally because the food itself it is very picky about its shipping conditions.
Probably the best way to enjoy the benefits of the Mangosteen fruit is to drink it as a juice. Drinking the mangosteen juice maybe even healthier then eating the whole fruit by itself because the juice is made from the whole fruit.

Try going to your local health food store and ask them if they carry Mangosteen juice. Another way to purchase some Mangosteen fruit juice it is to look for some independent distributors. Go online and do search for Mangosteen juice and you will find lots of local distributors within your area.

by Juliet Cohen

Your nails are an important part of your hands. Nail is made of a hard protein called keratin. Nails grow faster during certain hormonal fluctuating periods, as in the beginning of pregnancy, or just before menstruation.

Selecting The Best Wrinkle Cream

2007-10-10T00:50:00.000-07:00

by Geoff Hopkins

If you're attempting to look youthful and healthy, it is important to make the best decisions as possible, so that you get the best results. This may mean asking yourself which wrinkle cream is the best.

Although this question - which wrinkle cream is the best - seems to have an obvious answer, it is important to put some thought into it. That is because anti-wrinkle products abound, perhaps numbering into the thousands. Therefore it becomes very difficult to select the ideal anti-aging product.

In order to select the best anti-wrinkle product, you should find out what products are safe or dangerous, as well as what products work the best. It is also important to think about what your individual needs are. Do you have allergies that may inform your decision? What does your budget look like?

The first thing that you should do is think about the causes of wrinkles. These include sun exposure, in which the sun's rays create cellular and DNA changes, resulting in a heightened risk for skin cancer. In addition, wrinkles are caused by the loss of the skin's stretchiness which happens with aging, causing wrinkles, creases, and sagging. Finally, medicines and toxins damage the skin. One of the worst toxins is nicotine.

It is also critical to improve your overall health - an unwell body causes unhealthy skin. To do this, you can eat a healthful diet, and make sure to minimize stress, be active, and get lots of rest. Another way to avoid wrinkles is to avoid smoking and slather on the sunscreen daily so that you are protected from the sun's rays.

Next, make sure to drink plenty of water, which is good for the body and skin. At the same time, make sure to select an anti-wrinkle product that contains a moisturizer. A moisturizer not only helps your skin hold on to its moisture, but also gives it a little bit extra.

Since, as we already noted, sun exposure leads to wrinkling, you will also need to select an anti-aging product with sunscreen. This sunscreen can either be a natural product or a chemical product, which vary in safety. You will want to make sure to get a cream with an SPF of 15 or above - otherwise, it won't be successful in protecting skin from the sun.

The question of which wrinkle cream is the best might be related to whether they contain antioxidants - substances that protect and repair the skin. Likewise, your diet should have plenty of antioxidants in order to ensure that cells are repaired. Antioxidants, which can be either applied to the skin or eaten, include vitamin C, A, E, and lycopenes.

Finally, you should keep your eyes open for collagen and proteins. However, keep in mind that some forms of these substances cannot actually be absorbed by the skin. Forms that are easily absorbed and effective include aloe vera (long chain proteins). If you wish to keep yourself from using non-natural chemicals, try to stay away from components you can't successfully pronounce. If you do run across something you can't pronounce, look it up in a dictionary, since some sound complicated (like tocopherol - plain old vitamin E) but are not.

Which Wrinkle Cream is the Best

2007-10-08T04:47:00.000-07:00

by Geoff Hopkins

For those of us who are trying to look healthful and full of vitality, we need to try to make good decisions in order to ensure that our results are as good as possible. Therefore, we have to ask ourselves how we should select the ideal wrinkle cream.
While we may think that the question - how to select the perfect wrinkle cream - might be simple to answer, we actually need to think about it more carefully. Because there are perhaps thousands of anti-wrinkle products on the market, it is very hard to select the ideal product.
If you want to find the best product to combat wrinkles, you will need to look into which products are most successful and which products are safest. Also critical is your own personal situation. For example, if you have allergies, your choice of wrinkle creams will depend on this. In addition, your budget is important.
It is crucial to ponder the cause of wrinkles. These causes include the genetic and cellular damage caused by the sun (raising your risk of skin cancer); the loss of bounce in the skin which naturally occurs over time; and the use of drugs and various toxins, such as tobacco - the worst offender.
It is obvious that overall health is also important in combating wrinkles, since ill health can lead to bad skin. To maximize your overall health, you should eat well, sleep well, control your stress, and get active. In addition, don't smoke, and make sure to put on sunscreen at all times so that you protect your skin from the sun.
You will also need to drink lots of water in order to improve the health of your skin and body. Just as you need to drink water, you also need to provide water to your skin in the form of a good moisturizer. This will prevent the water in your skin from evaporating, and also give it a little boost of extra moisture.
Next, select a cream with sunscreen, since UV exposure causes rapid aging. Sunscreens vary and may or may not be safe, depending on whether they are natural or chemical. Select a wrinkle product that has an SPF over 15 so that you can make sure your skin is fully protected.
The antioxidant content of anti-wrinkle products may also define whether a wrinkle cream is better or worse than others. Antioxidants - including Vitamins such as E, A, and C, as well as lycopene - are special substances that can repair and prevent damage. These special substances can be consumed in food or applied to the body, so it is important to add plenty of them to your diet.
Finally, select creams that contain collagens and proteins - but only if they are types that can be absorbed by the skin. Long chain proteins - like in the plant aloe vera - can be absorbed without problems. To prevent from using artificial substances, don't purchase a product that contains something you can't pronounce. However, keep in mind the fact that some unpronounceable names refer to safe substances (for example, tocopherol is the scientific name for vitamin E).

Healthier, younger looking skin

2007-10-08T04:43:00.000-07:00

by Geoff Hopkins

As skin naturally begins to show the signs of age, both women and men start to become concerned and look for skin care products o reduce these tell tale signs. People want to know what the best options are in order to choose the best products. Most of them will want to start with a wrinkle reduction cream which resorts a healthy and vital look to the skin.

Products that reduce the signs of aging and prevent more wrinkles from forming are often the first (if not the only) line of defense that most people use to gain younger, healthy looking skin. Today's consumer of skin products is often looking for a cream that will have it all: mildness, botanical or organic ingredients, easy application, reasonable prices, and great results.

Some products are designed to be used overnight, allowing the cream to be absorbed and do its replenishing work while you sleep. Other creams are for use during the day, and include important ingredients like sunscreen, which protect the skin against ultraviolet radiation, both UV-A and UV-B. The sun's rays can increase the risk of skin cancer, so such a preventative step is beneficial to both health and beauty.

In order for a product to help prevent aging successfully, it must work to preserve the skin's moisture. Skin that is dry and irritated will show existing wrinkles more, and will be more susceptible to new wrinkles. While drinking lots of liquids will help to keep skin hydrated, it is also important to apply moisturizer after cleansing the face to keep the moisture locked in. Petroleum jelly is an easy and affordable way to do this, as well.

Plenty of nutritious antioxidants are also important in maintaining that youthful look, as they help the body repair and protect the skin. Antioxidants are founding foods rich in Vitamins A, D, and E. Tomatoes contain Lycopenes which are powerful antioxidants. Keep an eye out for products that contain these nutrients.

When skin ages, the layers of proteins shrink causing it to loose its elasticity and structure. Extracts of collagen and Aloe Vera help to maintain firmness by adding prtein to those layers. Aloe Vera is uniquely adapted to this, as it has long, sliding proteins that go right through the skin to the source of the problem. Many people are now turning to products that include botanical or natural ingredients. Creams that include Tea extracts, both white and green, have antioxidants that help to heal skin.

There also manufactured ingredients that are helpful in preserving the health and beauty of your skin. Alpha Hydroxys help to exfoliate, leaving your skin smooth and glowing. Mild peels work in this fashion as well. Even if you prefer to use natural ingredients over ones such as these, always remember that not every natural product is safe, and some are harsh. Sometimes manufactured ingredients can be more gentle and more effective.

Which ever anti-aging product you choose in the end, make sure you research the ingredients, read reviews from sources your trust, and consult friends who have the kind of skin you'd like to see on yourself! Don't be afraid to try out suggestions the may sound strange: for instance, some creams made to shrink hemorrhoids can remove fine lines and wrinkles and reduce eye puffiness for hours!

Skin products for health and beauty

2007-10-08T04:39:00.000-07:00

by Geoff Hopkins

Both women and men will come to show the sign of aging through wrinkling, sagging skin. For this simple reason, eventually everyone starts to become concerned about products that retain the health and youthful appearance of the skin, and many seek them out. Most people look first and foremost for a product that can help them to reduce these signs of aging, and restore a healthy, younger appearance to their skin.

Anti-aging skin care products can both reduce wrinkles and keep new wrinkles from forming. This is often the first choice (if not the only choice) for keeping skin young and healthy. There are several key areas that people today consider in finding the right product: easy and gentle application, good prices, natural ingredients, and visible results.
Some products should be used overnight. They are designed to absorb into the skin for long lasting action. Day creams often contain useful and important sun screen ingredients, protecting the skin from both ultra violet A and B rays. These can help to reduce the risk of skin cancer, as exposure to the sun increases chances that caner will develop. The health and beauty benefits make this an important skin care addition.

These products also must contain a good moisturizer, as properly hydrated skin is resistant to the formation of new wrinkles (and even hides existing wrinkles better!) Drinking plenty of liquids every day will help you achieve this. It is crucial to always moisturize with your chosen skin care product after washing, to preserve the moisture present in the skin. A simple, affordable an effective way to do this is with petroleum jelly.

Antioxidants rich foods (look for Vitamin A, D, E and lycopenes) are sometimes used as ingredients for skin care products. These will help to keep skin looking younger by repairing past damage and protecting it in the future.

As we age, our skin looses the firmness and elasticity of youth. This is caused by layers of proteins breaking down, shrinking, and penetrating the skin. Look for products with ingredients that will help build these layers up, such as collagen, aloe vera (which is particularly helpful as the shape of its proteins easily penetrates the skin.)

Botanical and Natural ingredients are becoming very popular in anti wrinkle creams. many people prefer the natural ingredients, such as green or white tea extracts, that contain these antioxidant healing properties

Most products available are made of manufactured ingredients, like alpha hydroxyl acids which help to remove dead skin cells and build up to reveal smother, healthier skin. Another way to achieve this result is with a mild peel. For those people who would rather use products with only natural ingredients, remember that not every natural ingredient is gentle to the skin or safe for the body. Sometimes it is best to use manufactured products instead.
When choosing a product that is right for you, do it based upon your own research, the advice of friends, and reliable articles from trusted sources. Be willing to experiment. Something that may sound strange to you, like a cream which shrinks piles, actually helps to reduce wrinkles and eye puffiness for hours on end.

A good olive oil can do wonders for your skin. It has been used since the beginning of recorded history. Oils are the base of all commercial and homemade skin care products as they provide so much moisture, it eases the lines away. You are not limited to the old standby olive oil.

Commercial cocoa or shea butter can do just as excellent a job rejuvenating your skin. The next step after getting the oil, shea, or cocoa butter is to add an active ingredient. Now when using all natural products such as fruits, vegetables, nuts, etc. remember that it has to be kept refrigerated and it will decompose most likely within a week. Therefore, use your active ingredient in the moisturizing agent prompty. Based on the short shelf life, one may wonder why even use an active ingredient....The answer is it gives your cream its scent and antiaging properties.

If you would like it to last longer, make an extract by soaking your active agent in boiling water. You can then strain it and add the extract to your lotion without the fear of decomposition. You will end with a lovely scantly, all natural antiaging cream.

Wrinkle creams can be expensive. Most everyone wants to look younger. There are a few key things to look for when making a purchase so you can look up to 10 years younger! Choosing a wrinkle cream amongst the myriad of options can be overwhelming. But, if you pick the right one, you have an easy to use product. It can be expensive though. To keep costs down one could always make their own simple and effective anti-wrinkle cream using household products.

If you want to ease the lines away, it's mandatory that you moisturize. The heaviest
moisturizers you can get are coconut oil, aloe vera and cocoa butter. Older skin needs to be replenishes and thes moisturizers have the power to do it.

Antioxidants are necessary to keep the skin's cellular decomposition at bay. Lycopene and vitamin c can serve as a final bastion against this. Your skin needs nutrients to fight the battle against cell breakdown. You have to give it the tools to win. As most everyone knows, brown age spots are caused from too much sun exposure. Wear sunblock. Most people need about SPF 20. A good commercial anti-aging cream will contain this so make sure to verify it. Too much sun exposure can cause wrinkle formation, rapid aging and potentially, cancer. To know exactly what you are putting on your face, you can make some great at home products.

A good oil should be the foundation, such as olive oil, as this is the main ingredient in most commercial skin creams anyway. Cocoa or shea butter are two other good choices to purchase. Now that you have you base or either oil, cocoa or shea butter, an active ingredient is needed. It has to be some natural substance that will give the cream it's scent and properties. Remember the mention of lycopene and vitamin c earlier. These would be great ingredients. Usually, the active ingredient is a fruit, vegetable or nut. Just remember it will only keep in the refrigerator for a week. If you need your cream to last longer than a week you can always do and extraction. This is done by leaving the active agent in boiling water and upon cooling, mix it into your cream or oil. This will make a long lasting cream.

Fruits and Vegetable High in Fiber: High Fiber Foods and Our Daily Routine Life

2007-10-04T06:42:00.000-07:00

by Judy Wellsworth

An important and complete diet is the most important element to stay healthy. Therefore one must be very conscious about his diet to maintain a good health. Generally a good diet is a composition of many different things, but the most important elements of a good diet are the vitamins and nutrients. And it is recommended that one should have a diet which is rich in both these elements. Similarly high fiber fruits and vegetables must be included in everyday diet.

The Importance of Fruits and Vegetable High in Fiber:

Fiber is one of the most important components of our daily diet and hence should be included in our daily food. The reason of fiber being so much important is that it provides nutrients to our body which helps us digest our food properly. No matter how old you are, how healthy you are, fiber is still very important to you because eating fibrous food helps you maintaining your health. With the help of fibrous food, your digestive system works very effectively and hence you are easily able to get rid of our waste materials.

High Fiber Fruits and Vegetables:

As it is now known that fiber is the most important element of our diet but still the question arises that why do people still avoid fibrous food in their diets? The answer is simply that most of the people don't like its taste. And one other problem that people get fed up with eating all those grains and stuff. But what people don't know is that there are a lot of fruits and vegetables which are highly rich in fiber. Therefore by use of these high fiber sources in their diets, they'll get a lot of fibers for them.

There are some specific fruits which contain a lot of fibrous substance, their addition to our diet would be good and provide positive results. These fruits include avocadoes, papaya, apricots, cantaloupe, strawberries, kiwi and grapefruit. The most important aspect of high fiber fruits and vegetables is that they don't need to be cooked as their raw form provides us with nutrients and fibers in right quantities. We should try to get these sources of fiber in their raw form rather than its cooked form because the raw form contains more fiber than otherwise and the breakdown process of raw fiber works more effectively. Also fiber contents gained from the raw food are absorbed in the body quicker than the cooked food.

From above we have learnt that we can gain the fiber contents of food from certain fruits and vegetables too, therefore they should be a part of our daily diets

How to Lose Weight & Keep Your Family Healthy by Eliminating Toxins in Your Environment

2007-10-02T22:40:00.000-07:00

by Jerome Greenberg

Each year the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) reviews about 1700 new compounds that industry is seeking to introduce. Only a quarter of the 82,000 chemicals in use in the US have ever been tested for toxicity. The ones that have been examined, have not been tested in combination with all the other toxins in our bodies. And it's doing harm.
Environmental toxins and pollutants are having a drastic effect on you and your children. Consider these facts...

5 Ways Toxins Are Hurting You & Your Family
Obesity in proliferating in the United States. 3.8 million people are over 300 pounds, over 400,000 people (mostly males) carry over 400 pounds and the average adult female weighs an unprecedented 163 pounds! And, it's not all because of fast food places like McDonalds. Our bodies protect us from the cell damaging effects of toxins by surrounding them with fat. The more toxins-the more fat. Remove the toxins and you will have a dramatic loss of fat-especially visceral fat. This is the fat that surrounds your organs and glands and gives you a "gut."
Animal studies show that flame retardants (polybrominated diphenyl ethers) that save hundreds of lives each year, also impair thyroid function and cause reproductive and neurological problems. When thyroid function goes down, blood lipids go up. How many prescriptions for cholesterol lowering statins could be avoided if we just got these toxins out of our bodies?

In the past 10 years, the number of children diagnosed with bipolar disorder has increased 40 fold. Based on the sale of psychotropic medications, other forms of mental illness have also sky rocketed.

Autism has increased 10-fold.
An article in the Lancet, a leading British Medical Journal links preservatives and food dies to hyperactivity in children.
Given these facts, don't you think it's time to reduce the number of toxins in your environment? Here's how...

6 Tips to Help You Cleanse Your Body and Eliminate Toxins So You Can Lose Weight & Keep You and Your Children Healthy

1. Drink only filtered water-and plenty of it-at least 8 glasses per day. A carbon filter is fine, but reverse osmosis is the best.
2. Read labels, if you need a chemistry degree to figure out an ingredient, it does not belong in your body. The FDA will not protect you. Remember, New York City removed dangerous hydrogenated oils from our diets-not the FDA.
3. Buy organic. Yeah, I know it is expensive, but the lack of poisons and the increased nutritional value will offset the price.
4. Throw out your nonstick pans. Perfluorinated acids damage the liver, affect thyroid hormones, cause birth defects, and cause cancer in animal studies.
5. Do not eat farm fish. Believe it or not, they are loaded with antibiotics and chemical dyes
6. Do not eat wild fish more than once per week. They are loaded with mercury. Children suffering from IQ losses have been linked to high mercury levels found especially in canned tuna.

Your chances of getting some form of cancer in your lifetime 50 years ago were 1 in 14. Today, the chances are 1 in 2. The World Health Organization reports that environmental toxins can cause every chronic disease including cancer. Don't wait for a disease to steal your health and well being. Get the toxins out today and the fat

Natural Treatment for Acne Problems

2007-10-01T04:57:00.000-07:00

by Ivan Cuxeva Jr

Pimples on the face, the neck or the back are specific to Acne. As Acne generally appears during puberty when the physic aspect counts a lot, it can be very disturbing to teenagers and can even offer some risks to those affected by it.

The pimples are forming mostly due to a hormonal unbalance that leads to an excessive sebum secretion and the clogging up of the skin pores. The sebum that accumulates inside the pore can get mixed with the bacteria that are found on the skin and so a big red, painful pustule appears on the skin. Sometimes these pustules can transform into comedons or cysts filled with liquid. These are the most dangerous forms of Acne and must be treated very carefully as they can leave scars on the skin and permanent psychological damage to a teenager.
If Acne is not found in a severe form it can be treated with the help of natural products. Aromatherapy can be successfully used for resolving pimples. Some of the essential oils like the juniper tree one (be careful not to use it if you are pregnant) and the Lebanese cedar oil (avoid it during the first 20 weeks of pregnancy) help the excessive sebum secretion normalize. Lavender oil and geranium oil have healing and antiseptic properties and the petit-grain and the daisy essential oils are good for reducing inflammation.

This is how you can use the essential oils: add two drops of juniper tree oil and Lebanese cedar oil in a water cup filled only by half with water. With a cotton wool apply on the Acne affected skin areas the solution every two hours. You can combine juniper tree oil with one spoon of jojoba oil and apply the composition on pimples.

If you have Acne on your body you can add a few drops of these essential oils to your non-perfumed body lotion and use the composition before going to bed. In the morning you will see that the inflammations made by pimples on your skin would have reduced.
Besides Aromatherapy you can try fitotherapy. Fitotherapy is about using herbs and plants for healing your body. Here is a special recipe for healing Acne skin. Mix up equal quantities of dandelion roots, bur, nettle, borage and Echinacea and prepare an infusion from all these herbs. Drink up one or two cups a day from this infusion.

Boil 2 or 3 teaspoons of dried sweet basil in a cup of water. Let this infusion get cold and then with cotton wool apply on the skin the solution but only after you have cleaned the skin properly. You must not clean the skin with alcohol lotions; you should use a gentle oil-free cleanser.

If you like using natural products then you can clean you face once a day by bending over steamy water for 5 to 10 minutes. Then dry your face skin and wipe it with rose water or marigold water.
These natural remedies are suitable only for those who do not have severe Acne. For those who natural solutions are not helpful they should go to a dermatologist and request an anti-Acne cream.

Learning To Reduce Stress During Pregnancy - Pregnancy and Stress

2007-10-01T04:47:00.000-07:00

by Franchis Adam

Many mothers during pregnancy face extremely stressful circumstances. Pregnancy is a nine month journey for both you and your baby. Pregnancy typically lasts 40 weeks (about 9 months). Stress-related changes in a pregnant woman's heart rate and blood pressure, along with chronic anxiety, can affect the heart rate of her developing fetus, a new study concludes. Maternal stress during pregnancy is also found to cause of asymmetry in coordination of ears, fingers, feet, elbows, etc. Maternal stress is also linked with imperfections in the developing nervous system which can lead to problems of perception, thinking, and memory. These mothers experience constant stress, shame, loneliness and, sometimes, clinical depression during pregnancy or after giving birth. Their partners or families may not encourage them to seek help because the problem it is not seen as a medical one. There are many negative side effects of stress during pregnancy. Very high levels of stress may contribute to an increased risk of premature delivery or low birth weight babies. Still other studies suggest that overly high stress levels can increase your heart rate, blood pressure and produce chronic anxiety.

Maternal stress during pregnancy is also found to cause of asymmetry in coordination of ears, fingers, feet, elbows, etc. Stress doesn't have to be bad especially when you take care to manage the stress you experience during your pregnancy. Eat a healthy, well balanced diet. Eating well will provide you the energy you need to get through the day, especially when you feel tired or overworked. Exercise has huge stress reducing qualities. Walking is another activity you can do in order to keep fit and reduce stress. Shortness of breath is pretty common among pregnant women, so if you feel like you've pushed yourself too far, take a rest then move at a slower pace. Water is highly important for more reasons than keeping your body hydrated. A common reason for headaches is a lack of water in the system. Try not to drink beverages in excessive amounts right before bed. Try some natural stress reduction techniques including biofeedback, yoga or meditation. Reduce your workload. If you find you are doing too much in a day find ways to delegate certain tasks to others.

Managing Migraine headache during pregnancy

2007-10-01T04:41:00.000-07:00

by Franchis Adam

Some women may describe pregnancy as a pleasure, but for a major part it is a really trying period of time. Early months of pregnancy traditionally bring along a number of problems, including morning sickness, headaches, and lack of appetite to name a few.
Good News for Pregnant Women Suffering from Headaches
Pregnancy brings a lot of changes: women who would suffer from horrible attacks of migraines start feeling relieved after the onset of the pregnancy; at the same time, there are women who experience horrible headaches during pregnancy - mostly during the first and the last trimesters.

There is still no clear explanation why pregnant women who suffer from migraines before pregnancy will not suffer headaches during pregnancy, and vice versa. Some medical research studies suggest that the reason could be attributed to the increased levels of hormones in the blood, especially estrogen and progesterone.
Serotonin, a substance found in the blood, that is known as a 'brain-chemical' (which is responsible for regulation of pain), is greatly influenced by the existence of the above-mentioned hormones in the blood of pregnant women. It seems that when the levels of estrogen falls, the levels of Serotonin will increase and vice-versa.

Basically, causes for headache during pregnancy remain general, i.e. stress, bad posture, hormonal changes in the blood, blood pressure, muscle tension, and so on. Relief can be achieved by simply identifying the cause and eliminating it; however, identifying the cause can be quite difficult and confusing.
Taking medications against headache during pregnancy without consulting with doctor is not a wise idea. Only the doctor can prescribe medication, which is safe for the would-be-mother and the baby, and can reduce the intensity and frequency of headaches during pregnancy. But in most cases, the doctor will advise a change in diet to include zinc and multivitamins as a cure for your headaches during pregnancy rather than prescribe hard-core medication.

Some doctors have achieved excellent results in treating pregnancy headaches by regulating estrogen levels. Obviously, estrogen does influence the levels of Serotonin, and careful regulation might provide the much-awaited relief from headaches during pregnancy.
Meanwhile, women who suffer from headaches during pregnancy have very few alternatives like putting up with the terrible headache, getting plenty of sleep to rest both body and mind, and eating a balanced and preferably vegetarian diet. Avoiding coffee and tea during pregnancy may also benefit in coping with headaches

Beauty Is In the Eye of the Beholder

2007-09-27T23:40:00.000-07:00

By Clive Green

As our world becomes more concerned with maintaining a youthful appearance at any age, products and services that might help us achieve this are highly sought after. We are our own worst critics concerning our appearance, and are often lured into the “quick fix” that cosmetic surgery appears to provide.

Since we consider “our eyes to be the windows to our soul”, and often the first parts of our anatomy that someone glances upon, Anti-aging Eye Cream products have experienced a recent “boom” in sales and production. They are targeting a much younger audience by touting the “preventative” benefits of using their product.

As we look for options other than invasive and expensive surgery to solve the problems associated with aging eyes such as crow’s feet and bagginess, eye wrinkle cream has come out of the woodwork and into our lives full speed ahead. We are barraged with advertising aimed towards keeping us young and vibrant, but at what cost?
Anti-aging Eye Cream products run the gamut from reasonably priced products that are readily available at your local supermarket, to prohibitively expensive and exclusive products only found at the cosmetic counter in your favorite department store or purchased online from European distributors.

Some believe that the more expensive the product, the better it must be. Unfortunately, that is often not the case. Try and rise above the advertising hype and research different brands online. Find out what other consumers of the product have to say about its performance and value.
One thing to consider when considering purchasing Anti-aging Eye Cream products is your skin’s reaction to the products ingredients. Often the active ingredients in eye wrinkle creams contain mild acids that work to smooth out wrinkles and crow’s feet and can also brighten up dark skin surrounding the eyes.

Care must be taken to follow the manufacturer’s directions explicitly, especially if they recommend “testing” an area around your eye before fully utilizing the product. This will assist the consumer in avoiding a potentially serious reaction to the ingredients on one of the most “chemically sensitive” areas of our bodies.

The most satisfied consumer is the well-educated consumer. Do your homework and research the products you are considering purchasing to maintain a youthful appearance. Follow the directions supplied with the product, have reasonable expectations for the results you might expect and you will find that this non-surgical option for enhanced eye appearance is the right choice for you.
