Get Your Skin Glowing.

Its Monday morning! whats exciting about this.. I'm sure most of us want to just stay in bed. rather then sit in a chair at a desk for 8 hrs. ughh. anyways i found this cool little article that deals with mainly skin care. enjoy i enjoyed reading it.

A glowing skin is one of the most visible features of your personality and is also considered one of the signs of good health. In many studies of romantic and sexual attraction, radiant skin is cited as a parameter. So it’s no wonder that a good complexion is something that most women desire.

Before I get into the foods that can make your skin glow, here are some reasons why you may have dull or bad skin.

If you scrimp on sleep, you are likely to end up with bags under your eyes, dark circles and early wrinkling.

Lack of sun exposure and too much sun exposure can both spoil your skin. The sun’s rays provide vitamin D and therefore you need some amount of it for the health of your skin. However, you should not expose your face to the sun. Cover your face with a high SPF cream, and expose your limbs to the sun instead. Even so, make sure none of your skin is exposed during peak sunlight hours. Enjoy the sun only in the early morning.

Alcohol and cigarettes are the top skin spoilers as they cause dehydration. In addition, smoking results in the shrinking of capillary blood supply to the delicate areas of facial skin, leading to early wrinkling.

Over-consumption of tea or coffee is likely to cause acidity and dehydration, leading to early wrinkling. However, two cups a day of either beverage should be all right.

If you use too much make-up, foundation and so on, and do not remove it diligently before going to sleep, the skin does not get time to breathe. Clogged pores are likely to lead to skin problems.

Anxiety, plus a genetic tendency towards hyper-allergic states leads to skin allergies.

The use of strong creams and fragrances during periods of high anxiety or during the pollen and windy season can cause skin problems. Now that you know what can spoil your complexion, here’s what can make it glow.

Apples are good because of their vitamins and pectin. Pectin helps absorb unhealthy oils and toxins from the skin and also helps the liver to neutralise skin-damaging toxins.

Fruits like pomegranates, oranges, lemons and keenu have vitamin C that helps to fight the ageing of your skin. Vitamin C builds the elasticity that is essential for soft, supple, non-wrinkled skin.

Broccoli, spinach, green leafy vegetables and salads provide several vitamins including precursors for vitamin A, which is essential for skin repair.

Carrots, tomatoes and red vegetables – the pigment lycopene found in these vegetables is essential for skin repair.

Almonds, sunflower seeds and flaxseeds contain vital oils required for nourishing the skin. A juice that contains tomato, carrot, ginger, mint and lauki combines several vital vitamins and also has antioxidants that fight skin-damaging free radicals.

Men 'need better-fitting condoms'

howdy!
hahaha wow i cannot believe i actually said that. well anyways. i hope everyone has a better weekend then i did. Valentines day weekend should have been fun for everyone . unfortunately mine wasn't haha but this blog isn't about my life. its about the exciting world of vitamins! wooo.
anyways found this interesting article on condoms.. and how one size doesn't fit all.. well duh!!
haha read on its pretty interesting for a Tuesday morning.


Men 'need better-fitting condoms'

One size does not fit all, say experts
Badly fitted condoms do not just reduce the pleasure of sex for men and women - they raise the risks of infection and pregnancy, researchers say.

Men are twice as likely to take the condom off midway through sex due to a poor fit, a poll of 436 men in Sexually Transmitted Infections journal reveals.

Ill-fitting condoms more than doubled the chances of them splitting or slipping off, a Kentucky team found.

UK experts said men should know condoms came in different shapes and sizes.

Condom use is increasing in popularity, now rivalling the Pill as a form of contraception, according to a recent poll.

However, there are concerns that couples may turn away from them if they fail to fit comfortably and correctly, and risk unsafe sex instead.

The latest study fuels these concerns.

Out of 436 men questioned by the University of Kentucky researchers, 195 reported that their last sexual encounter involved an ill-fitting condom.


Standard latex condoms should fit most people but there are many different types of condoms available in different shapes and sizes and trying different types will be important in finding the 'right one'

Simon Blake, Brook
A total of 120 of these said that this had reduced their own sexual pleasure, and 57 said it had reduced it for their partner.

In addition, 34 said they had removed the condom early, while 18 said the condom had broken during sex.

All of these problems were far less frequent among men who reported a well-fitted condom.

One solution, according to the US researchers, would be better public health efforts to make sure that men achieved the best fit.

Simon Blake, from advisory charity Brook, said that, used correctly, condoms were 98% effective and protected against both unplanned pregnancy and sexually transmitted infections.

He said: "Standard latex condoms should fit most people but there are many different types of condoms available in different shapes and sizes and trying different types will be important in finding the 'right one'."

Natika Halil, from sexual health charity FPA, said that men, and women, needed to take time to learn the skills needed to put a condom on properly.

"Confidence and the skill of putting on a condom also contributes to how well they are used.


If we are serious about people being able to use condoms consistently, then we need to listen to their needs

Gill Gordon, International HIV/AIDS Alliance
"Men come in all shapes and sizes and so do condoms. When we talk with men on the FPA helpline about condoms tearing, slipping off or being a nuisance to use, one of the main culprits is often something as simple as not using the right size."

Gill Gordon, from the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, has spent time talking to men in Africa about condom use, and says the size and fit issue must be addressed if condoms are to be used effectively to reduce the number of new HIV infections.

Unlike in Europe and the US, the variety of sizes and shapes of condoms is not available to most men - she told of some resorting to tying an oversized condom on with string, or preferring to use the female condom because regular size versions were so painful.

She said: "I think that the unwillingness of African men to use condoms has been overstated, and that many more would be willing to wear one if they were more comfortable.

"If we are serious about people being able to use condoms consistently, then we need to listen to their needs."

Mo. woman pleads guilty in supplements fraud

Mo. woman pleads guilty in supplements fraud


Associated Press - February 8, 2010 8:24 PM ET

SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (AP) - A southwest Missouri woman has admitted taking part in a scheme to fraudulently market dietary supplements over the Internet.

The U.S. Attorney's office says 25-year-old Mai Lor of Springfield faces up to five years in prison plus a fine of up to $250,000.

Prosecutors announced Monday that Lor pleaded guilty last week to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud.

Lor was part-owner of a company that bought and sold dietary supplements. Prosecutors say the supplements were fraudulently advertised as preventing, treating or curing such diseases as heartburn and high cholesterol.

The government says nearly $12 million worth of the supplements were sold.

Under the plea deal, Lor agreed to forfeit any property bought with proceeds from the scheme, including several properties in Springfield, Rogersville and Pleasant Hope.

Obesity May Delay Boys' Puberty

Morning all !
well I'm in a " i don't really want to be here mood" lol so I'm going to try to keep it as short as possible. i found this article on... you guessed it, google news. its short and sweet so basically perfect lol. enjoy and hope you guys have a great weekend.

Researchers may have found yet another reason not to let boys become obese -- it could delay their puberty.

A study on U.S. girls finds childhood weight gain triggers early puberty.A study following over 400 boys shows that those who are obese are twice as likely as their normal-weight counterparts not to have started puberty by the age of 11 and a half. While previous studies in girls had shown the opposite phenomenon -- girls who are obese tend to hit puberty earlier than their normal-weight counterparts -- it seems obesity may cause a maturity delay in boys, a situation with unknown and possibly far-reaching effects.

How fish oils add years to your life (and take years off your face!)

Fish oils.. seems like everyone has some in there household medicine cabinets haha i know i do.. but yeah interesting article..well to be honest i didn't read it, but the title caught my attention soo yeah here you go!
ohh and hope you all had a great weekend! :]

OHH FYI. ITS EXTREMELY LOOONNNGGGG! SO IM GONNA POST HALF THE ARTICLE.

There seems to be no end to the benefits of fish oils. Not only are they said to boost heart, brain and joint health, but they also prevent cancer, eye disease and bone problems.

Last week, a new study suggested they could assist the body against premature ageing. But how do you separate the facts from the hype? PETA BEE asked the experts...

Cure oil or something fishy? Fish oils contain the essential omega fatty acids, which we only get through our diet
WHAT'S SO SPECIAL ABOUT FISH OILS?
Fish oils are a type of polyunsaturated fat - a 'healthy' fat. Unlike saturated animal fats, they don't raise your cholesterol levels, but are known to have a positive effect on health.
Polyunsaturated fats are divided into two groups of what are called Essential Fatty Acids (or EFAs) - omega-3 and omega-6.
Both omegas are essential in helping to regulate blood clotting, body temperature, blood pressure and the immune system; they are also needed to make prostaglandins, important hormone-like chemicals in the body. The only way we can get them is through our diet.
Omega-3 has particular benefits, producing vital substances such as DHA (docosahexaenoic acid), thought to play a key role in the development of brain and cognitive function, and EPA ( eicosapentaenoic acid), vital for brain health.
The richest source of omega-3s are fish oils - salmon, mackerel, fresh tuna and herring.
While most Britons consume more than enough omega-6 oils (found in most edible oils, but particularly sunflower and corn, as well as meat), they are deficient in omega-3.
WILL THEY PROTECT MY HEART?
There have been a number of studies suggesting fish oils boost heart health, but the most compelling evidence was a study last year published in the Journal Of The American College Of Cardiology.
Led by Dr Carl Lavie, of the Ochsner Cardiology Clinic in Louisiana, the study showed omega-3 oils help to prevent blood clotting and regulate or lower blood pressure.
The strongest heart-protective effect is for patients with established cardiovascular disease, the study found.

Brain food? Teenagers taking exams. Fish oils help protect your brain against Alzheimer's disease but won't boost your mind power in a test
'This isn't just hype - we now have tremendous and compelling evidence from very large studies, some dating back 20 and 30 years,' Dr Lavie said.
Under guidelines issued by the National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence (NICE), doctors are encouraged to prescribe supplements to patients after they have had a heart attack to prevent repeat attacks.

WHAT ABOUT MY BRAIN?
There has been great interest in the fish oil effect on the brain - both in preventing disease and boosting brain power.
Studies have shown, for instance, that DHA can reduce the formation of plaques in the brain; these have been linked to Alzheimer's disease and dementia. Too little omega-3 has been linked to mild depression, and there is some evidence that fish oils may help here.
DHA has been shown to boost foetal brain development.
However, parents who feed their children fish oil supplements before exams might be wasting their money, as the evidence for fish oils boosting intelligence and exam performance is tenuous.
WHAT ELSE CAN THEY DO?
Eating oily fish once a week has been shown to protect against age-related macular degeneration, the most common cause of blindness in the older generation.
They might also be helpful in the fight against some forms of cancer.
Last year, Professor John Witte, from the University of California, suggested a high intake of omega-3s reduced men's risk of prostate cancer by about 60 per cent. There is some evidence, too, that a regular consumption of omega-3s can help prevent bowel cancer.

rainy cold day.

rainy rainy day.. some say tornado warning in long beach hmm. that's a first well im located in California if you didn't already know that and everyone seems to be sick. my sister, my friends, so i looked up some ways to heal faster.. and what did i find.. vitamin c! haha as if we didn't already know that
enjoy this article.

In the winter, your body's internal thermostat gets a real workout. Some bodies cope better with the constant fluctuation in temperatures than others. Whether you have a robust constitution or have a tendency to get sick often, easy home remedies exist that can help stave off or fight colds and flus.

Two herbs that you can buy at any health food store to stay healthy are astragalus and ginger. Both herbs are great at boosting immunity, warding off viruses and nourishing the heart. Ginger is also anti-inflammatory and astragalus can protect the liver. If you have high blood pressure or difficulty sleeping, however, you should be careful with astragalus.

Getting plenty of vitamin C in your system on a regular basis can also help ward off evil bugs. The recommended daily intake of vitamin C is 90 mg for adult men and 75 mg for adult women. Most people associate vitamin C with oranges, which have 70 mg of vitamin C for each medium orange. Two foods that you might not realize have incredibly high amounts of Vitamin C are broccoli and red bell peppers. Half a cup of raw, red bell peppers has 142 mg of vitamin C and one cup cooked broccoli has 123 mg.

If a bug does get you, you have a couple of options that are inexpensive and effective. Echinacea augustifolia and Echinacea purpurea, if taken at the onset of cold or flu symptoms, has the ability to fight off bacteria, calm inflammation and boost immunity. Be careful if you are taking drugs that suppress your immune system as Echinacea can interfere with their functions.

Another option is homemade tea. A good tea to make if you are coming down with a cold is fresh sliced ginger, lemon and honey. The ginger has antimicrobial properties and can help relieve an upset stomach. The honey can soothe the throat, calm digestion and help kill the nasty germs. The lemon is astringent and can help with a scratchy throat. It also has 45 mg of vitamin C per quarter cup of juice.

Whether you are trying to stay healthy, or combating a virus, try one of these solutions to becoming a healthier you.

VITAMINS: MONEY DOWN THE TOILET?

HMM Considering that i do deal withlot of vitamins in supplements maybe i shouldnt be posting this but heyy its good to get other opinions.

Most medical research suggests that vitamins are a good way to create expensive pee. Many of us take them anyway. Fifty-three percent of men swallow a multivitamin at least once a week, the same as the odds (1 in 1.89) that an adult drinks traditional coffee in a day. Even more women, 1 in 1.57 (64%), take their vitamins.

That’s almost exactly the odds an adult considers him- or herself to be a healthy eater (1 in 1.56)—and hopefully not because he or she has a tablespoonful of vitameatavegamin after every meal. Nutrition can come from a balanced diet, even more easily now (thanks to fortified food) than when Lucille Ball declared “The answer to all your problems is in this little bottle.”

It seems logical that multi-vitamins would be beneficial. Certainly, not having enough can be bad: vitamin C deficiency causes scurvy, vitamin D deficiency causes rickets. But having more than enough may not be better. The best randomized trials of the past few years have failed to show that adding nutritional supplements to a normal diet does anything to prevent heart disease, cancer, or death. One study even suggested antioxidants may shorten lives.

“We call them essential nutrients because they are,” Marian L. Neuhouser of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, in Seattle, told the New York Times. “But there has been a leap into thinking that vitamins and minerals can prevent anything from fatigue to cancer to Alzheimer’s. That’s where the science didn’t pan out.”

Sales have not been affected by this news—or by the economy. Even as the stock market crashed, vitamin sales soared to a projected $9.2 billion in 2009. Some theories hold that patients, for lack of affordable health care, are seeing supplements instead of doctors. But it could be more benign than that. “Vitamins may work,” says Los Angeles lawyer David Illions, “and if they don’t, at least I’m giving myself a little kiss every time I take them.”
