anti aging

We are all searching for eternal youth and it can found on line or at your drug store. Yes, you guessed it, it is wrinkle cream. Over the years you will lose collagen the all important protein that provides structure to your skin. As it loses its elasticity, fine lines start to appear. But does anti wrinkle cream really work? The experts say yes if you get the right ones. Find products that contain vitamin A which has been proven effective in reducing deep lines and age spots. Another effective ingredient of wrinkle cream is hydroxyl acids which have also shown success in fighting the battle against aging. Special anti wrinkle eye cream has a different formula than products used on your face.

The best anti wrinkle eye cream contain the key ingredients of vitamin C and E, green tea, and peptides which help to reduce puffiness and sagging. There are also products on the market that are 100% natural so if you have any allergies to chemicals this may be a great option for you. Wrinkle cream made with emu oil can possibly be some of the best products on the market. The interesting fact about emu oil is that its molecules are smaller than human molecules allowing it to penetrate down 7 layers of human skin. This will result is deeply moisturized, smooth and supple skin. It is often recommended that these products are not used as anti wrinkle eye cream.

Even if you spend a fortune and buy the best wrinkle cream on the market, there are still a few things you can due to battle the aging process. Yes, you have heard this before so be prepared. First, drink 8 to 10 glasses of water. Because your skin is your body’s largest organ, it is imperative you keep it hydrated especially in the winter when your skin tends to dry out even more. Second, if you are outside, wear an anti wrinkle cream with SPF of 15 or greater. Third, by exercising, you skin will love you. After you shower, be sure to use a good quality body moisturizer. Finally, before going to bed, apply an anti wrinkle eye cream. You skin does most of its repairing while we sleep.

Eternal youth. That seems to be what so many beautiful people seem to be searching for. The ability to look unaffected by the passage of time. Wrinkle free faces. The body of a 60 year old that looks like a svelte twenty year old. You see that quite often in Hollywood.

First, there was plastic surgery Now there is botox. Where a toxin is injected into your face to paralyze your facial muscles, to erase the lines on your face.

Scary isn't it? Then again, if you were gorgeous in your youth, if your face were your fortune, wouldn't you do everything possible to preserve your youthful appearance for as long as possible.

Time is relentless. You get older every year. Your face and your body will age. But you can age beautifully. If you keep fit, exercise and watch your diet, your body can still be svelte late in life. It would get harder with time, but with enough discipline and effort, you can still keep your figure.

It is harder when it comes to your skin. Sure, there is botox and plastic surgery. An alternative you can turn to when nothing else works. Until then, there are less invasive, needle free means to erase wrinkles, or at very least to appear younger than you really are.

1 Microdermabrasion

Have you ever tried clinical microdermabrasion. It is like a facial where the doctor blasts tiny crystals onto your face, to smooth your skin. You have to go for a few treatments but it is effective. Lines diminish. Even acne prone skin improves with this treatment. Best of all, the treatment does not burn your skin with acid and you don't look like an escapee from a horror movie during recovery time.

These days, you can even do that at home. There are even do it yourself microdermabrasion kits you can use in the comfort of your own home.

Other than physically erasing the lines on your face, you can appear younger if you dress, and act younger. An exuberant woman, full of life looks years younger than she actually is. Look at Diane Keaton, born in January 5, 1946 which makes her almost 60 years old. She certainly doesn't look her age. That brings us to the next few tips.

2 Hairstyle

Rather than stick to a conservative hairstyle, go for a younger, more carefree look. You'll look years younger that way. It can be as simple as a change from a conservative side part to a younger, carefree center part. Or you can visit your hairdresser for a younger makeover.

3 Fragrance

A young vibe makes you appear younger. A young fragrance makes you seem much younger than you really are. In a study, women who wore scents with pink grapefruit notes appeared, on average, 6 years younger than their actual age according to the men who were surveyed.

4 Lighting

Finally, the lighting you appear in can make you look older or younger than you really are. In harsh bright, unflattering light, you could look years younger. In soft, gentle, flattering light, you look younger. Everyone looks better by candle light.

5 Makeup

When all else fails, cheat. Use a makeup primer after your moisturizer to fill in all the lines on your face. Then apply makeup in a color that matches your skin tone exactly, over the primer for that flawless look. You might want to mix 2 makeup colors together for that ideal shade.

Aging skin is something we all either have or will have. Its a fact of life. The skin starts to lose its elasticity, sun damage takes a toll, wrinkles and lines develop. Cuts and scratches don't heal as fast and scar easily. The skin is dry and can even become brittle. It literally thins out.

This is because we have not cared for it. I heard on the radio today that 90% of Americans know more about their car engine and take better care of their car then themself. We take our cars for oil changes every 3-4,000 miles, rotate tires, buy better gas and use gas additives, high tech waxes, etc... Then we eat junk, fatty foods, don't drink enough water, don't eat regular balanced meals, forget our vitamins, etc... It's no wonder that Our skin ages amongst other things. We have the careless attitude that if it isn't broke don't fix it. We procrastinate with our bodies until they start to fail.

What we don't realize is that our skin is an organ just like our heart, lungs, etc... the skin takes in oxygen, vitamin D, protects against bacteria, accidents, etc... In the old days people were tarred and feathered as punishment. This tarring sealed the skin and if the affected individual didn't have the tar removed in a few hours they would die - why? Because their skin couldn't breathe and they overheated and died. So the skin helps us regulate our body temperature like a radiator.

Well, just like a radiator, we must care for our skin to get optimum protection and use from it. We must hydrate ourselves properly. Thats not just having a little water here and there. 90% of all Americans are improperly hydrated. An easy way to tell is to pinch and pull the skin between the thumb and forefinger. Does it go right back and feel supple or does it hold , feel dry, and very slowly go back (improper hydration). It is now known that we must drink 8-12 glasses of water a day and abstain from too much alcohol as it will further dry us out.

We must take multivitamins and eat proper, well balanced meals for healthy skin. The skin, just like finger nails is a early warning system. Problems with your skin and fingernails can foreshadow or warn of future or iminent problems and diseases, many of which can be avoided. There are whole books on this inate ability to hint of heart ailments, blood ailmaents, etc... We must eat right, hydrate right and take proper vitamins to keep our skin from aging. It is highly recommended to eat plenty of antioxidants to ward off the aging process. Eat blue berries, black berries, and have a glass of red wine daily. They are rich with antioxidants. Also omega 3 fatty acids and fish oils have been proven to retard skin aging (they have also been proven to increase brain function over 50% in all areas - ever had deep strange dreams after eating salmon? Salmon is very rich in omega 3's)

We can also help our skin along. Skin peels have been proven to increase our skins ability to regenerate, create higher levels of collagen, and increase hydration and pliability in our skin. They can basically reverse a lot of the effects of the aging process. Of these skin peels glycolic, lactic, salicylic and the 'fruit' peels are minor and will help, but need to be reapplied more often and will not help with deep wrinkles, lines, age spots, etc... The number one treatment plastic surgeons and dermatologists use to reverse the aging process outside of a face lift is the TCA peel. Tca peels are a medium strength peel and have been proven to efectively treat more skin problems than any other treatment. It is also the safest, easiest to apply, and, by far, the most effective of all the skin peels. TCA peels can turn back the clock 10 years or more. TCA peels can treat and cure acne, wrinkles, lines, scars, etc... The results last up to 1 year so you only need to have it done once or twice a year. And the best part is they are now available for home use.

So, to keep your skin younger and healthier, drink plenty of water, eat right, take omega 3 supplements (fish oil pills are great for this as is salmon) and use proven science (TCA peels) to better care for your skin. Copper peptide creams (around $60) do show an increase in the skins ability to heal itself, but so does Neosporin for $3. In double blind tests there was no difference between the two in healingand scar repair. Remember your skin does a lot and is very important so take good care of it. To find TCA peels contact the author below or look it up on the internet.

Anti-aging has been a very hot topic over the last 15 years, and we’ve made great discoveries about how to turn back the clock with natural hormones and cosmetic procedures. But who would have guessed that the most powerful way of prolonging your youth and enhancing your health was with “Beauty Cuisine”?

Beauty Cuisine is food which not only nourishes but strengthens the body, slows and reverses the aging process (entropy), and rejuvenates our cells allowing for a beautiful body inside and out. Beauty food was a natural part of our evolutionary diet as Paleolithic humans, but has become rare with our quest for fast foods with a long shelf life. The foundation of true youth, health, and beauty lies within consuming the right foods daily. Ideally, we need to pick foods which are fresh, unrefined, nutrient dense, organic, pH balanced, as well as high in enzymatic value, antioxidants, and phytochemicals.

Here are seven important qualities found in “beauty foods”: 1) A low glycemic index rating. Those with high ratings promote insulin secretion, a hormone which when in excess is known to age and destroy the body. For example, high fiber and low sugar foods are lower on the glycemic index and are more desirable.

2) Anti-inflammatory properties. Our most common ailments such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, heart disease, and bowel disease are caused by inflammation. Consuming spices such as ginger, tumeric, cayenne, and oregano, as well as foods including salmon, garlic, and blueberries, have powerful anti-inflammatory properties.

3) An alkaline or neutral pH. Fast foods and processed, refined foods are acidic and promote deterioration and aging. Yet, foods such as green vegetables, salads, sprouts, watercress, mustard greens, seaweed, sesame seeds, and berries are alkaline and rejuvenating.

4) High enzymatic content. Many illnesses occur as a result of lacking enzymes. They are critical in our food for digestion and assimilation of nutrients, yet they are sorely lacking in our packaged and microwave prepared foods. High enzyme foods are energizing and invigorating, allowing the body to heal and recover significantly faster from injury or aging skin cells and organs. Foods high in enzymes include fresh raw vegetables and berries, as well as raw cheeses, yogurt, and wild game.

5) High mineral content. Foods such as arugula, hemp seeds, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, broccoli sprouts, raw honey, aloe vera, papaya, berries, and burdock root are rich in minerals including silicon, biotin, magnesium, sulfur, zinc, and manganese, all known for their importance for strong hair, skin, and nails.

6) High Syntropy value. Stress, toxins, unhealthy food, and lack of fresh air and sun increase the aging process. They create destruction and disorder or entropy in our bodies, and few things actually work in direct opposition. Syntropy is an order-enhancing energy force stored in food which actually neutralizes entropy and releases the beautifying power in food from the sun. Thus, eating “beauty” foods results in a more youthful energy, body, and mind.

7) Naturally colorful. The vibrant colors of natural foods indicate their wide spectrum of antioxidants, phytochemicals, and nutrients which protect, nourish, and heal the body from disease and aging. From the deep blue blueberries, to the red sockeye salmon, choose a variety of colors each day to optimize your intake of beautifying foods.

“Beauty Cuisine” similar to Paleolithic nutrition, is undeniably the most important new trend for healthy living. It will first stimulate your taste buds and then support your body to eliminate toxins, rejuvenate skin cells, strengthen organs, and increase overall vitality, health, and appearance. Humans evolved on these highly energetic restorative foods for the last two million years, and in order to continue thriving, we must make it a priority to keep consuming the right foods.

I was speaking today at a conference for foster parents, and got into a conversation with a woman who has 9 foster children. I mentioned that she must have a whole lot of energy. She said she just hopes she never gets old.

One the many things that struck me about the conversation was that there is a great deal of difference between getting old and getting older.

Getting old means losing your zest for life . Getting older is going to happen as the years add up. One is inevitable and the other is not.

How to get old

Here are some ways that I have observed in which people can get old:

Hardening of the references - Don’t confuse me with anything new or a different way of looking at things.

Seven last words - The seven last words spoken before someone gets old are

“I’ve always done it this way before.”

Less laughter - I’ve heard it said that we don’t stop laughing because we grow old. We grow old because we stop laughing.

How to get older

Learn from life and it’s experiences - If you are the exact same person as you were 20 years ago, then I would suggest that you have wasted 20 years.

Laugh - Laugh often: at yourself especially.

Learn from those that have gone before - Others have gotten older before us. It amazes me how so often we do not take advantage of the opportunity to “sit at the feet” of those older and wiser.

What really is 'anti -aging' all about ?

Most magazines would have you believe that all you have to do to keep"Father Time" from your door, is to cover yourself with cream. I don't know how many women find that this is the answer, but putting cream on your face certainly cannot do any harm.

I do believe that you are a product of your gene pool, if your mother and grandmother had good skin,then it is likely that this asset gets passed down the generations.

As an "older woman" myself I often wish that I had taken better care of my skin when I was younger.As a teenager of course, I never thought that I would change,skin was just something you had to wash or you got in trouble.

I have tried many different products in many different price ranges,creams to lotions etc and I must say I have not noticed a lot of benefits. I do think however, that mentally I feel better thinking that these treatments are working and therefore making me more confident in my appearance.

My mother always told me to rinse my face after cleansing, with hot water and then to splash it with cold water.She had beautiful skin even when she was in her eighties,so I really think ( now too late)that I should have followed her advice!

I would still recommend this as a nightly beauty routine,as the hot water opens the pores to let any dirt out and then the cold water closes them. It is also a very invigorating feeling.

I have at least one pet peeve when it comes to advertisers of anti- aging products. The women in the ads are nearly always very young, so I would like to see older women using these products, this would relate better to the subject of the advert. Maybe this is just jealousy on my part!!!

Feeling young is as good a tonic as anything out there,we can't change our image , unless we artificially do so,so we should be happy to have our health and to be able to enjoy life.

Eating right and drinking lots of water goes a long way towards the inner"anti-aging" which in turn reflects itself in our outer image.

How would you like to turn the clock back by 10 years? May be even 15 years? And No, I am not kidding for that’s exactly what microdermabrasion can do for you. If you saw a small attractive home microdermabrasion kit or any other microdermabrasion equipment, you would simply find hard to believe that such an innocuous device could possibly hold the key to a time-warp for you. Microdermabrasion does all that and more. Here is how this wonderful technology, microdermabrasion works for you.

Lets break down the word microdermabrasion : Micro obviously stands for something that’s very small in size, derma stands for your skin, and abrasion is the wearing away of a surface due to constant friction. That’s precisely what a home microdermabrasion kit or other microdermabrasion equipment does. The treatment consists of using a sand-jet that can blow fine particles (either sand or other microdermabrasion crystals) on to your skin that removes all the dead cells, opens the skin pores and essentially makes your skin taut. Varying speeds of the jet with different sizes of the microdermabrasion crystals makes treatment possible for different parts of your body so that you can gain the best possible advantage from the use of this wonderful treatment.

Are you despairing because you don’t have the time to visit a clinic? Not to worry, just get yourself a home microdermabrasion kit and you are right on your way to a more youthful-self! Home microdermabrasion kits have been increasingly rising in popularity thanks to their affordability and easy-to-use functionalities. You should definitely check this option out if you are running on tight schedules or if convenience-of-use is a big criterion of selection.

The process of microdermabrasion involves the spraying of finely ground microdermabrasion crystals (sand-like particles / aluminum oxide typically) on to the surface of the skin in order to gently abrade and peel away the old skin and exfoliate all the dead cells. This results in a cleaner fresher and younger skin on the surface which many patients have described as a sheer reversal of aging. In this entire process, the knowledge of the small particles that help you regain your youth is at a minimum and that’s what we will concentrate on addressing.

Most such processes with microdermabrasion crystals use one form of aluminum oxide or the other as the abrading material so this article will focus on just that. Aluminum oxide chemical formula Al2O3 is a recommended substance for this procedure and is cleared for non-toxicity due to accidental ingestion and doesn’t provoke any harmful side effects or surface skin reactions. Before the start of any microdermabrasion crystals procedure, care is taken to ensure that this aluminum oxide is high on purity from unwanted particles for example silica which is present in the source. The purification process is enabled through a technical rigorous procedure of melting and re-crystallizing the native aluminum oxide.

While the inhalation of microdermabrasion crystals such as aluminum oxide by itself does not have adverse biological reactions in the body, the introduction of any particulate matter in the lungs could possibly cause a breathing impairment, nasal irritation and induced coughing. Therefore before you undergo this treatment, make sure that your medical practitioner takes care to sufficiently cover your nostrils and eyes before starting the procedure. Microdermabrasion crystals thus when used carefully can bring immense benefits to the human body than any negative reaction that could possibly have you in two minds about the treatment.

Keep in mind that this knowledge of microdermabrasion crystals is just so that you are aware of what you go through. The technique itself is very clean and there is almost no instance of residual particulate matter left on the skin. Summarily, we would just like to say, that if you find yourself suitable for undergoing this treatment, just go ahead and take one more step closer to the heydays of your youth!

Before you read on more to know the benefits of microdermabrasion, we assume that you have some preliminary knowledge of what the entire process of microdermabrasion entails, why people use it and how the technique works in terms of making the skin look younger. In case you don’t know this, we suggest that you look up our articles section on the basics of microdermabrasion before coming to this page so that you can appreciate and relate what you will read here. Our intent on this page is to summarily visit the various benefits that the procedure of microdermabrasion can deliver.

Fundamentally the microdermabrasion technique makes you look younger by removing the dead skin on the surface and ensuring that fresher younger skin from beneath becomes the outer layer. Primary benefit therefore is a younger skin, bereft of effects of aging with a very healthy glow. The second key benefit is the way the procedure is administered itself, its non-surgical, quite safe and has no adverse impacts on the skin. Unlike laser hair removal where skin color and pigmentation is a key parameter, microdermabrasion is applicable for almost all types of skin and skin color. Also because the reaction on the surface is purely physical, microdermabrasion does not have any side-effects that chemical treatments are associated with. Painless and quick, for sessions lasting typically around half n hour, no anesthesia is required either.

As you can see, microdermabrasion seems to be a win-win proposition for almost all suitable candidates who want to see a few years taken off their clock. Never before has the holy grail of immortal youth appeared any closer as it does with the wonderful effects of microdermabrasion. We recommend as always, for any treatment to consult your local clinic or physician to fully understand your suitability for the process.

The benefits of microdermabrasion are plentiful but nothing beats the glowing smile on your face when you look yourself in the mirror and see your youth abound once again!

Reliving the past is a quality that is as primitive as man himself. Remember how often you would have dreamt about those good old days, the sun and sand, the music and the merrymaking?

Those are now things of the past, when you were young and energetic. Now time has taken its toll and life has gone a full circle. But then again, time had not considered the invention of microdermabrasion technology. Your youth of yore can be within your grasp more than ever before with the wonders of microdermabrasion, the power of microdermabrasion kits or even your home microdermabrasion equipment.

Aging is natural. Not wanting to is equally natural. And this fine balance is what motivates most of us to do, look and feel the same way we did in our younger days. Microdermabrasion helps you and me in getting rid of the tell-tale signs of the passage of time. Who could have imagined that small things such as the microdermabrasion crystals held enough power in them to erase the wrinkles of aging? Or for that matter, delete almost all surface level skin imperfections? And thereby giving you a taut fresh and sublimely young look, turning your clock back and giving you one more chance at life yet again.

Microdermabrasion is a new and emerging technology that works on a very simple physics principle of friction causing wear and tear. In this case, finely ground sand particles or microdermabrasion crystals are fired in a streamline on to the surface of the skin thereby abrading it. This abrasion causes the dead cells, blocked pores and other skin-surface level deviations to give way and leaves behind a cleaner, healthier and fresher skin. Presto, you just dropped 10 years on your calendar.

Its never too late to experience the wonders of microdermabrasion and continue your romance with life itself. The only thing that could beat this is if god came down to earth and actually sent you back in time. Till such time that happens, be sure that microdermabrasion will be your substitute for god! Enjoy your life, fresher and younger!

Microdermabrasion. Home microdermabrasion kits. Microdermabrasion units. And you are wondering just what the hell all this is about! Nary a worrisome thought, for in 2 minutes flat you will know what microdermabrasion is and how you can benefit from this wonderful process that could make reversal of aging an earthy possibility!

Microdermabrasion: Say bye-bye to wrinkles! Look younger and fresher!

Fundamentally, microdermabrasion is a technique to negate the aging effects on a person’s skin and therefore the outward appearance and can also fight surface effects of sun exposure. It’s a process for reparation of facial skin in particular but can theoretically be used for most parts of the human body. Typical of any treatment for the skin, this technique like its brethren (e.g: laser hair removal) would require more than just one sitting for a satisfactory and long lasting effect.

How does microdermabrasion work? At the heart of this treatment is a sandjet or a sandblaster which propels very finely ground sand particles through a nozzle on to the surface of a skin in a gentle wave. What this helps achieves is to abrade i.e. rub away due to friction all the dead cells on the surface of the skin that gives an aged and possibly haggard look. In several cases of microdermabrasion, this could be combined with a suction mechanism as well that works in tandem with the sand particles that are being fired on the skin surface. This treatment doesn’t have any painful body reactions and can be administered to almost everybody who have a normal skin composition and don’t suffer from any pigmentation irregularities. So when the sand particles are blown away, what is left behind is fresh new and younger looking skin that just turned your clock back through a few years! Now, isn’t that a delightful thought?

Beauty and health go hand in hand. The finest cosmetics in the world cannot disguise the effects of poor nutrition and aging. Beauty, which comes from within, is reflected in a clear, sparkling skin and a fit, trim body, and needless to say, the aspects of nutrition and aging come into question in the context of ageless beauty. Often people with poor nutrition and aging go for the most common "Human Growth" hormone therapy, which rarely work in people over 40 years of age, and can have disastrous effects on your system, including worsening of health and accelerated aging process.

Therefore, the first thing that you must do is taking a broad spectrum of natural supplements to help fill in the nutrient 'gaps' that you have if proper nutrition and aging does not walk hand-in-hand. You also need a full array of amino acids, anti-oxidants, neuronutrients, herbal extracts and enzymes to have proper nutrition for your skin and body. Your body would need all these nutrients in correct proportions in order to maintain the proper balance of nutrition and aging. And, there are a slew of nutritive supplements available in the market today, which help achieve that objective.

To maintain the balance of nutrition and aging and to sustain natural beauty for years, the primary thing to pursue is to go for a proper diet that helps to maintain a balanced metabolism rate without accumulating fat and lessening the intake of calories. In this context, the Green tea deserves substantial attention from those interested both in sustaining youth and an overall balanced health and well-being. The Green Tea weight loss system (enriched with the high potency green tea) suppresses over-appetite naturally and safely, thereby increasing the metabolism level. This weight loss system provides a safe way to burn fat, making for a perfect nutrition and aging supplement.

Apart from the Green tea, there are also a number of “general wellness” nutrition and anti-aging supplements that work in order to provide your body with proper blood and tissue oxygen saturation, helping your body attain optimal body-fat reduction in the process. Besides, a comprehensive range of nutrition and aging products, including advanced appetite-suppressants, metabolism boosters and energy enhancers are available in the market. Acting as breakthrough "anti-dieting" products, they support the balance of nutrition and aging by reducing the caloric intake of your food in a natural way.

All said and done, it is really heart-warming for seniors to know that in today’s times, there are powerful anti-aging tools that combine scientific research and innovative technology to produce outstanding results for them. Today, maintaining health and beauty with proper nutrition and anti-aging products can be as effortless as ever!

Herbal nutrition supplement anti-aging health benefits -- is it possible that an anti-aging herbal nutrition supplement can slow the aging process? Absolutely! Numerous clinical studies have shown and are still discovering the wide-ranging health benefits of many herbs and nutrition supplements.

A healthy lifestyle includes having a sensible diet with nutritional supplements, adequate quality sleep, reasonable exercise and weight management. And slowing down the aging process includes providing your body all the nutrients it requires. Taking a high-quality, broad-spectrum vitamin/mineral/nutrition supplement helps fill in the dietary gaps that everyone will have.

Vitamins and minerals are only the beginning. Your body needs and will use a wide array of herbal nutrition supplement nutrients that have been proven to have specific health benefits. Here are examples:

1. Bilberry Extract - improves eye health and night vision. Clinical tests confirm that the herbal nutrition supplement bilberry is effective in treating eye diseases such as cataracts, retinitis pigmentosa, glaucoma and myopia.

2. Cranberry Extract - used for prevention and treatment of urinary tract infections and type 2 diabetes.

3. Ginger Extract - may be beneficial for irritable bowel syndrome, morning sickness, nausea, osteoarthritis, atherosclerosis, gastro intestinal disorders, hay fever, HIV support, low back pain, migraines and rheumatoid arthritis.

4. Gingko Biloba Extract - this herbal nutrition supplement promotes mental clarity and concentration, increases alertness and short-term memory and is used in cardiac protection formulas. It offers significant protection against the development of Alzheimer's disease, hearing loss and strokes.

5. Green Tea Extract - may be helpful in improving cognitive performance, treating stomach disorders, vomiting, diarrhea and headaches. Green tea may be beneficial in reducing the risk of breast cancer, prostate cancer, colon cancer and gastric cancer. May be beneficial to maintain remission in persons with Crohn's disease, to prevent Parkinson's disease and help protect against heart disease, dental caries and kidney stones.

6. Guggulipid Extract - is used for arthritis, lowering high cholesterol, atherosclerosis, nodulocystic acne, skin diseases and weight loss.

10. Tumeric Extract - may be beneficial for rheumatoid arthritis, cancer, atherosclerosis, bursitis, genital herpes, hepatitis, HIV support, low back pain and osteoarthritis.

Should you take each herbal nutrition supplement individually? When trying to design your own supplement plan, it's easy to end up with a dozen or more individual supplements to take daily, which is both a hassle and expensive. Besides, if certain substances are out of balance, they can combine to produce other unwanted compounds that can be harmful.

Also, women need a different formula than men. A woman's herbal nutrition supplement product should contain nutrients proven by clinical studies to support the balancing of female hormones. For example, red clover is helpful for menopausal symptoms, hot flashes and cyclic breast tenderness. A men's product should contain ingredients that support healthy male prostate like saw palmetto that is used for symptoms of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH), improving sexual vigor and stimulating hair growth.

As we get older, we start to notice changes in our body. Things don’t stay as firm and in place as when we were teenagers. But there are definite things we can do to guard against getting older including anti aging skin care. The first order of business is to drink 8 – 10 glasses of water a day. It is imperative that we stay hydrated in order to keep our facial structure and a healthy complexion. Second, if you are out in the sun, wear anti aging skin care products that contain an SPF of 15 or more. This will protect you against the harmful UV rays that can cause serious cell damage. One of the best anti aging skin care actions is to stop smoking. Smoking reeks havoc with your complexion.

Since it is a fact that we are going to get older no matter what we do, we can use some great anti aging skin care products that have been scientifically proven to help reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Moisturizers and creams that contain vitamin A and E, essential oils, antioxidants, and collagen are especially effective. You can get quality creams without paying a fortune, although, those moisturizers are available as well. Many people are turning to natural anti aging skin care because they feel it is a more healthy approach. Creams and moisturizers are made with 100% or close to 100% all natural ingredients. You can find a huge selection of recipes on line if you want to give it a try.

There are also a number of anti aging skin care products that are highly recommended by consumer research groups. They have been rated against a number of tough criteria and have actually been consumer tested over a period of time. One study ranked Alpha Derma CE as the best formula for reducing lines and wrinkles. Coming in a close second was Rejuvinol/Rejuvox a combination am/pm nutrient rich moisturizer. But be careful because anti aging skin care is getting very specialized with products that are suitable for your face but not your eyes. You will have to purchase another cream for those. We highly recommend you try a number of them to see which one works best for you.
