Get Rid Of Stretch Marks With Microdermbrasion

July 23rd, 2009

Microdermabrasion is a highly successful procedure with several benefits to boost. Microdermabrasions side effect is next to nil. There will be no peeling, no scarring, or even redness on the skin that will be noticeable. This is the safest way to achieve a stretch mark-free skin in no time. The process is very effective. Microdermabrasion gives the skin a healthy-looking glow.

Micro dermabrasion can also remove stretch marks as it aids in collagen production in the skin, increasing elasticity. This helps thin the marks so that they are barely noticeable (you won’t be able to get rid of them completely with this method, you will just be able to minimize their appearance.) Stretch marks are, in fact, tens of fine silvery, long, fragmented scars that are sunken into the skin.

Think of them as microscopic valleys found on your abdomen, thighs, breasts, arms and/or buttocks.Microdermabrasion uses a crystal flow to sandblast the skin and make the ridge of these imaginary valleys become eroded. The skin surrounding the stretch marks is brought down to a level closer to the stretch mark itself. Basically, the stretch marks are still there, deep into the skin, but they are less visible.

Microdermabrasion is suitable on all types of skin color and skin type. Some methods, like laser, do not work on certain skin types, microdermabrasion is different. It can be used on your skin, in any case of its color, texture, or the stretch mark’s density. However as in all procedures, patients with a good and fair skin tones have a superior likelihood of producing the paramount results.

Microdermabrasion process is noninvasive; so all your normal activities can be carried on as usual. It does not even require the body to be subjected to any form of medication.Stretch marks can now be treated minus the hassle. You need not have to worry anymore about how you can get rid of those unsightly marks around your stomach or some other parts of the body.

Microdermabrasion is conducted with a hand-held appliance and it does not require any other elements. For utmost results, a modified skincare program is advised, so that doctors can focus on the areas that required more interest in significance to your skin tone and skin type. Many women have had good results by combining professional microabrasion with other forms of treatment like topical cocoa creams, radio frequency sessions.Now this method can help out the people to say farewell to their stretch marks.

Head Lice - Lousy Little Parasites!

June 24th, 2009

INTRODUCTION: Head lice (Pediculus capitis) are small parasitic insects well adapted to living mainly on the scalp and neck hairs of human host. These are mainly acquired by direct head-to-head contact with an infested person’s hair, but may infrequently be transferred with shared combs, hats and other hair accessories.

They get their nutrients by blood-feeding once or twice a day, and cannot live for more than a day or so at room temperature without free access to human blood. These parasites can survive up to thirty days on a human holding on to hair with hook-like claws found at the end of each of their six legs. They are rarely found on the body, eyelashes, or eyebrows and rarely (if ever) create direct harm, or transmit infectious agents from person-to-person. Head lice are equal opportunity parasites that do not respect socio-economic class distinctions and can infest people at any age, but children are more apt to infestations because of their habit of playing in near contact, sharing hats, headphones, combs and brushes, sleeping bags, stuffed animals, and clothing.

NITS: Head lice eggs are called nits and are laid by the adult female at the base of the hair shaft nearest the scalp and look sort of like dandruff, only they can’t be removed by brushing or shaking them off. The eggs hatch about 7 to 11 days after being laid. Those further than 1/4 inch away from the scalp have probably already hatched. Nits are most effectively removed by combing the hair with a specially designed nit comb. The eggs can be distinguished from dandruff flakes as they are extremely adherent to the hair shaft, whereas dandruff can be easily moved along the hair shaft.

INFESTATION: Contact with an already infested person is the most frequent way to become infected with head lice. Less commonly, Wearing clothing, such as hats, scarves, coats, sports uniforms, or hair ribbons, recently worn by an infested person. There are 4 critical steps to managing an infestation: the use of an effective head louse treatment; nit removal from the scalp (combing); removal of lice and nits from the household environment by vacuuming, washing, or freezing objects suspected of being infested; and daily head checks and nit removal until infestation is gone, followed by weekly head inspections to detect re-infestation. The MD should be able to tell you if your child is infested with lice and requires treatment.

TREATMENT: Treatment should be considered ONLY when active lice or viable eggs are observed. A treatment can cause significant side effects in children younger than 6 months old, the elderly, and anyone weighing less than 110 lbs (50 kg), especially when it is used repeatedly over a short period of time. If your child is 2 years old or under, you should not use medicated treatments. Your child’s doctor may recommend repeating treatment in 7 to 10 days to make sure all the nits have been killed and to avoid any risk of reinfestation. Treatments may be over-the-counter or prescription medications, depending on what has already been tried. It isn’t uncommon for treatments to be unsuccessful because of incorrect use or because the lice may be resistant to the chemical in the shampoo. Following the directions on the product label is also important to ensure that the it works properly.

Medicated shampoos can usually kill the lice and nits, but it may take a few days for the itching to cease. Some do nots include: Don’t use a hair dryer on your child’s hair after applying any of the currently available hair shampoos, because some contain flammable components. Don’t wash your child’s hair for 1 to 2 days after using a medicated shampoo. Be patient and follow the protocol and preventative tips as directed by your child’s MD for keeping the creatures at bay, and you’ll be well on your way to keeping your family free of lice.

If you feel like you’re following all the recommendations and your child still has lice, it may be because of one or more of the following: there are still some nits remaining behind, your child is still being exposed to someone else with lice, the shampoo you’re using isn’t working. If your child still has lice for 2 weeks after you began treatment or if your child’s scalp looks infected (with pus or sores), contact your child’s MD. Vacuuming the carpets, upholstery, and car seats will take care of any lice that fell off before treatment began.

CONCLUSION: Head lice infect hair on the scalp and are more common in close, overcrowded living conditions. Infestation produces intense itching, but does not lead to a serious medical condition. They can be spread when infested hair brushes or combs are shared or when infested bedding, towels or shower caps are shared. Head lice is a growing problem because lice-killing medicines are becoming less effective. Every year, between 6 and 12 million people worldwide become infested. Children ages 3-11 and their families become infested most frequently. Pets are of no significance in transmitting human lice, and should not be treated.

In one study, the estimated annual cost of infestations in the US was nearly one billion dollars. Girls contract head lice more frequently than boys; women more often than men. Anyone can become infested and the presence of head lice is not the result of unclean conditions. Even though it can be challenging to eliminate, you must be patient and persistent when dealing with an infestation.

Acai Berry Tales and Truths

March 24th, 2009

Do you want to look younger? Improve your overall health? Stop looking in the cosmetic department and start looking toward the Brazilian rainforest. No worries! You do not have to travel to this remote region to benefit from the latest scientific discovery: The Amazing Acai Berry!

To the natives in the region, acai (pronounced Ah-SIGH-ee) berries are nothing new. They have known about the amazing benefits of this beautiful purple berry that grows on a palm tree for centuries.

According to folklore, the daughter of an Amazon Indian tribal chief is responsible for acai berries. Tragically, the chief had to order that all newborn babies be killed because there was not enough food to feed his growing tribe. His daughter, Iaca, was not spared this decree and her baby was the first to be killed.

She mourned her child to the point of hearing the cries of a baby outside her hut. She desperately searched for what she thought was her newborn baby crying for her. Instead, she found a new palm tree growing in the midst of the Amazon rainforest. Terribly heartbroken, she lay beneath the palm tree and died.

When the tribe found her, they also found the berries. The berries were so nutritious and plentiful, that the tribe never had to worry about food again. The chief banned the law and all newborns were now safe. He named the berries Acai after his daughter (acai is Iaca spelled backward).

Interesting story, but the real miracle of the amazing acai berry is what we now know about it through scientific study. The acai berry contains essential amino acids, omega 3 fatty acids and super antioxidants.

Anthocyanin is the super antioxidant that gives the acai berry its gorgeous royal purple color. It is also known for its ability to slow or stop tumor growth in laboratory studies. Though all antioxidants are capable of fighting free radicals and the damage they incur thus preventing cancer, anthocyanin is more powerful than most.

Because free radicals are also responsible for the aging process, acai berries are also great for preventing premature aging and slowing the biological clock.

Animal protein contains a complete balance of essential amino acids, but plants do not. Acai berries, however, contain a nearly complete blend of essential amino acids making them a potent protein source without the saturated fat contained in animal protein.

Acai berries do not contain saturated fat, but they do contain the good fat, omega 3 fatty acids which can lower LDL (bad cholesterol)and raise HDL (good cholesterol) making them excellent (just like fish) in preventing cardiovascular disease.

Acai berries are simply the most remarkable fruit that we know about at this time. Acai berries can slow the aging process, prevent disease and simply improve your overall health! They are delicious and fantastic for smoothies. They are also available in other forms such as supplements and powder.

Read labels carefully and make sure that you are not purchasing an acai berry that is not pure or a juice that is mostly corn syrup with very little acai berries.

How To Stay Motivated For Weight Loss

March 21st, 2009

When I got to New York, it was covered in snow. I had been fantasizing about 50 degree weather, but no such luck.

I like how the neighborhood looks when it’s covered in show — it’s really quite lovely. This appreciation for all the loveliness is usually short-lived and I tend to want to leave when the feeling fades. This time was no different, but I have no choice — I must stay.

One of the problems many people have with weight loss is motivation. People often start with great expectations, and then, when they hit a roadblock, their plan or program comes undone, and they fall back into old habits.

I’ve discovered several strategies that seem to work for most people.

1. Changing your mental pictures

2. Measuring

3. Keeping a diary.

4. Accepting the fact you aren’t perfect.

Many people who are overweight think of themselves as losers in some way, shape, or form. Eating for them is a sort of comfort therapy. They’re thinking, “As long as I have my potato chips and soda, I’m okay.”

This is delusional, but it’s true, and it needs to change. You need to start looking in the mirror and imagining yourself as healthy and fit all the time. This doesn’t happen overnight, but it is easily accomplished by practice. Changing the picture pays you huge dividends in the long run.

Practice is the way to become what you imagine yourself to be.

You can use a tape measure to get numbers if you want to, but I prefer pictures. When you start on a weight loss program, take pictures of yourself. Then imagine the new you, and get started.

A journal is such a good way to keep a record of your progress. You can hand-write it, or you can use the computer. Each day, keep a record of what you are eating and how much you are exercising. At the end of each week, take a photo. You will really start seeing results after about 3 or 4 weeks — your body will look different, better. And you’ll hardly believe you eyes after looking at photos from weeks 10 through 12.

Slip-ups happen to everyone who is in the midst of a weight loss routine. Don’t beat yourself up about it. The best thing to do is log it into your diary and pay attention to when and how the slip-ups happen — this will show you where your weak spots are. If you feel guilty, get in an extra workout. Don’t let you slip-ups get in the way of your progress — just take note of them, get back to your routine, and stay positive.

Your body will be grateful to you.

Listening to your body will help you immensely. The more fit you get, the more your body will tell you what it needs, and if you don’t heed what it’s saying, you may get another signal, one that isn’t pleasant.

There are other things, in addition to healthy food and regular exercise, that your body needs to function at its highest level. One of those things is pharmaceutical-grade fish oil with enteric coating.

You should be taking enteric coated pharmaceutical grade fish oil every day for any number of reasons, including optimal joint function, healthy brain and nervous system function, along with the cardiovascular benefits.

I’ve been taking pharmaceutical grade fish oil for quite some time, and I can tell you, for instance, that if I miss taking it for a day or two, my joints start talking to me.

(Hi Bill…it’s your joints here. We noticed that you did not give us any fish oil for the last few days. Here comes a message for your right knee…yes, I know it hurts…so don’t forget next time!)

Traveling, which I do a great deal of, seems to be the time when I most often forget to take my fish oil. I came up with the great idea to bring some extra with me, in those “travel only” bottles. The bottles are with me at all times and are a great reminder.

Why Meghan McCain Could Use A Little Fish Oil

March 20th, 2009

I received three video clips from a friend of mine yesterday, one showcasing Meghan McCain’s appearance on the talk show “The View.” At first, I could not remember exactly who she was, but then it dawned on me.

She’s the daughter of Senator John McCain, and as such, considers herself fairly important to the future of the Republican Party. Others disagree, and her appearance on “The View” was used to promote her political point of view, which is “moderate republicanism” (whatever THAT means).

McCain got into a scrum with Ann Coulter, basically telling her where she could put her message (where the moon don’t shine). Coulter parried back, and then Laura Ingraham, a talk radio host, joined in the battle, on the side of Coulter. Insults were hurled, and McCain said Ingraham called her “plus sized” (a euphemism, if ever I heard one).

I have heard Laura Ingraham previously and I think her insult towards McCain was meant to kill two birds with one stone. It seemed to me that she wanted to show solidarity with Coulter’s politics and she wanted to score points by calling out McCain for being fat. Despite all the negativity, I enjoyed Ingraham and Coulter more than I did McCain — they just looked to be at the top of their game: funny and smart, rather than (I hate to say it) boring.

McCain looked as though she fit right in with Joy Behar, Sherrie Whoever, and Whoopie (and that ain’t a good thing). Jay Leno had already called the sneering Behar “fat,” among other things, on his show a few weeks back. McCain, with her own sneer and sense of entitlement, told all who could hear that they could kiss her fat a$$ (just like Tyra Banks, who was starting to look like Oprah Jr.).

Honestly, I don’t remember Meghan McCain at all from her father’s campaign, but she apparently now thinks the fate of the Republican Party rests in her hands. You can read all about it on her blog. And it’s also apparent that she has inherited some of her father’s legendary temper.

If she is thinking of running for her father’s seat in Arizona anytime in the near future, I would strongly advise her to stock up on some fish oil.

The reason that I mention fish oil is that a number of behavioral studies have been done, in which fish oil seemed to have a very positive effect on the mind, and some studies have reported that fish oil reduces the incidence of anger and violent behavior.

There have been a few studies in Britain that showed that young adults who were prone to “hooliganism” and were given fish oil showed a marked improvement in the reduction of their destructive behavior.

What I am suggesting is that maybe the young Miss McCain might not have been so quick to drop the hammer and insults, had she been taking Dr. Bill’s Powerhouse Omega Formula. It’s just possible that the omega-3 fatty acids might have facilitated a better choice of response. Clearer, more precise thought processes…are just one of the many benefits enjoyed by those who take pharmaceutical grade fish oil, on a daily basis. That’s one reason why I do, myself.

I have to say that I don’t agree with those that call themselves “fat and proud of it” — no matter if you are a young celebrity or not. I am fully convinced that both Tyra Banks and Meghan McCain, after publicly announcing that everyone who doesn’t like them can kiss their fat a@$, went on some sort of diet. I believe that is part of the problem.

I believe that if they took my counsel, that is, nutritious food, a steady exercise program, a good amount of rest and the addition of pharmaceutical-grade fish oil to their daily diet, they would find that things would go more smoothly for them. And no one would need to mention their rear ends again, especially on national television.
