Here's an anti-aging and anti-itching home remedy that makes your skin healthy and relieves the itchies in cold, dry weather. It's part of a program for growing younger and it won't cost an arm and a leg. We've been experiencing Himalayan-type cold here in Taos, New Mexico, that makes you want to just curl up in bed with the covers over your head until spring. But then it's hard to sleep when the itching all over your body caused by dryness in cold weather feels like microscopic crawly things chomping on you.

You know how some folks appear to be much older than their actual age, while others look, feel and perform more like people decades younger? The experts tell us that only 15 to 30% of this extreme difference in the speed at which people age can be explained by genetics; the vast majority of this disparity is chalked up to what they like to call "lifestyle." When we hear lifestyle, in this regard, we tend to think of the importance of a good diet, plenty of exercise and adequa

Every now and then a patient will tell me that their urine looks “funny” sometimes. When I ask them what they mean by that, they invariably tell me that it seems to change colors. They’re conce ed if these color changes are anything to worry about. Here’s what I tell them: What Color Is Your Urine? Urine can be different colors throughout the day depending on the amount of urochrome, a natural pigment, formed by the breakdown of red blood cells, which is present in urine.r

I want to talk to you about acne and how to treat it using oil of oregano. Oil of oregano contains some active constituents that have been proven to kill certain viruses, bacteria and even the fungi that can kill certain yeast infections like Candida and other microorganisms. Oil of oregano acts like a natural ...

Saying or writing anti-aging affirmations is one of the techniques to help you grow younger; however, there are subtle differences in how you create them, which can result in enormously different effects. "I’m going to stop eating sugar-coated donuts. I’m going to stop eating sugar-coated donuts. I’m going to stop eating sugar-coated donuts." Ever repeat something like this to yourself? If you resolved to have a healthier body and mind by changing your diet, that’s great.

Five years ago when I happened onto the Tibetan Rites of Rejuvenation in a book called “The Ancient Secret of the Fountain of Youth” by Peter Kelder, I knew instinctively these exercises would help me grow younger, and they have! Known as The Five Tibetans, this series of movements form a system of exercise that affects the body, mind and emotions, activating and stimulating key chakras (energy centers) thereby stimulating all the glands of the endocrine system.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF YOU KNEW YOU COULDN’T FAIL? How do people accomplish amazing things? How does a young man working for a mobile phone store in Wales end up as a globally-recognized operatic tenor whose first CD sold more than two million copies? How does a young woman who lost her sister to breast cancer create a multi-billion-dollar organization, the largest non-profit source of funds dedicated to fighting breast cancer in the world? They dared to dream. Henry Ford is often quoted as saying, “If you think you can or you think you can’t, you’re right.” Every creation – fr

In homeopathic "medical histories", in contrast to the ones kept by the general practitioners, one can see a record: "looks his/her age." Premature aging, loss of physical and spiritual beauty are interconnected processes. These are the results of not only an unhealthy lifestyle, but physical and mental suffering. Beauty in its truest sense still must start from within. Natural, gradual aging of the body is unfortunately part and parcel of our lives. However, different peopl

At the cellular level, aging is a process of declining capacity for repair of cell injury. With aging there is cumulative, un-repaired or poorly-repaired natural or unnatural cell injury. This is “death by a 1000 cuts.” Cell injury results when • cells can no longer adapt to stress, • have unrecoverable exposure to damaging agents or • suffer from intrinsic abnormalities, whether genetic or nutrient-based. Cell injury can progress from milder, reversible states to more seve

Several of my patients have attention deficit hyperactive disorder (ADHD). It can be a frustrating condition to live with and, usually, prescription medications seem like the only recourse. However, as I share with my ADHD patients, there are some things you should know about the pros and cons of ADHD medications and alte ative methods of treating the condition and I’d like to share those with you here today on this informative natural health news publication. ADHD – WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

In the current economic environment today it’s quite natural to suffer emotional stress from overcrowded highway traffic and the worries over an affordable personal healthcare system. And think of adding to these, what if you are the spouse of military personnel deployed to war? Often any additional anxiety promotes a magnification of the current problems making them appear larger than they are, propelling individuals to be overwhelmed and possibly dramatic in their response behavior. How do you know if you are magnifying your problems?r

Cellular Senescence – our cells get old after dividing about 10 to 50 times for humans, depending on cell type, then they change characteristics and function and either commit suicide (apoptosis) or just quit functioning (stasis or senescence). Ultimately it is senescence that defines our maximum life span, thought to be about 120 years for humans.

Have you wondered what causes our bodies to age? Is there an internal clock in our bodies? Have you ever heard about telomeres? Learn how to maximize telomere length and increase life expectancy. Our understanding of how our cells age, and how we can protect our cells from aging, is expanding at an amazingly quick pace. Several decades ago, scientists discovered telomeres. Telomeres are specialized nucleoprotein structures, which protect chromosome ends and have been implicat

Parkinson's disease often affects the patient’s ability to speak clearly and this is often considered one of its worse symptoms. For many patients, the loss of their ability to communicate clearly to others is heartbreaking. For these patients, they have the added problem of feeling as if they have some sort of dementia. It is important to remember that a Parkinson’s patient can hear himself just fine.n nIt has been estimated that between 65-90% of Parkinson's disease suf

“Hey, Ellen,” a friend called to me from two check-out counters away in the supermarket, “did you see the cover story in TIME magazine about epigenetics?” He wasn’t the only one asking me if I’d seen the issue a few months ago called “Why Genes Aren’t Destiny.” They were all aware that in my talks I tell about the latest scientific findings in epigenetics that prove beliefs and thoughts affect how the body changes with age. And I always quote the first scientist to share his research findings on epigenetics, the internationally recognized cell biologist, Dr. Bruce Lipton.

In part 1 of Why Some of Us Age Much Faster..., we discussed how having strong beliefs and desires in opposition to each other produces the long-standing stresses that speed up aging. In order to better align our beliefs and aspirations, reducing the stress/tension/resistance that is aging us, we need to understand how our beliefs were created in the first place. Then, using this knowledge, we can construct new, more empowering ones. Since in part 1 we used the conflict betwe

The speed at which one ages varies greatly. Repeatedly reading about and listening to men and women, just like you, who in their 40s, 60s, 80s … are proven to be in better shape, biologically younger, than the great majority of young adults challenges any self-destructive, self-limiting beliefs about aging that may be hurting you. These old, outdated beliefs can then be replaced by new, more empowering ones. To be powerfully propelled to a more vibrant and youthful you, enj

Brain fitness is a hot topic at work. Our jobs require sharp intellectual performance for everything from recalling important client or product information to learning training materials or just keeping track of key documents. No wonder corporate leaders and entrepreneurs alike have taken notice of this current health trend.

Stretch marks remain on your stomach and hips long after your pregnancy, often for years. In fact, it is easy for women to shake off their excess body weight gained after pregnancy, but the same cannot be said for stretch marks. Fortunately, the present generation does not have to put up with such embarrassing situations thanks to Celtrixa stretch mark cream. About 60 to 85 percent of women are affected by stretch marks, and the cause in most of the cases is pregnancy. Stretc

“Studies show that one of the most accurate predictors of longevity is what a person thinks about their own health,” says Dr. Larry Dossey, MD, author and one of the top experts in mind-body medicine. Recent research shows that your mind, not your genes, is the primary determining factor in how long you live and how healthy you’ll be. World-renowned cell biologist, Dr. Bruce Lipton, has done extensive research into how the mind influences our biology.

Discover How to Look and Feel Like a Teenager... No Matter What Your Age Breakthrough Anti-Aging Study Reveals the Possibility of Staying Young, Playful and Enthusiastic – Even as You Hit 80 and Beyond... Dear Health Conscious Reader, When I was in med school 25 years ago, a small group of researchers were quietly laying the groundwork for a breakthrough that, at the time, sounded like science fiction.

July brings us into the heart of the summer. The kids are out of school, workdays and sometimes work weeks are shortened (one company I recently heard of is closing their office on Fridays throughout the summer as a way of going “green”). We look forward to taking some well-deserved down time, however it may come our way.

“If I had know I was going to live so long, I’d have taken better care of myself”. (Eubie Blake, celebrated ragtime pianist, 1883-1983)

Do you ever get forgetful? Of course you do, it’s part of being human. However, when we are younger, perhaps in our twenties and thirties, we usually don’t take forgetfulness very seriously. When we’re young, we hardly ever think we must have Alzheimer’s Disease just because we forgot something.rn rnIf we forget something in our twenties, we’re likely to think it’s just the result of being preoccupied with something else, or the result of stress. However, as we ge

The key underlying principle to be grasped with regard to Exercise is this: The body is a demand-driven, adaptable, living system that requires movement and muscular activity to maintain its function. Observe what happens to someone bedridden in a hospital; muscle mass, flexibility, strength, bone density and range of motion all drop like a downed helicopter, in just a matter of days. The unseen effects are equally damaging; every organ reduces function and slows its activity. Lack of movement is devastating to the human body!

Several months ago I posted “There’s a WRONG Way and a RIGHT Way to Set Goals,” which I wrote the week before Christmas. In it I talked about the right ways to set goals for the new year. I enjoyed writing that column and was delighted that so many friends told me they enjoyed reading it. Although that article didn’t cover setting daily goals, after writing it I began setting three goals that I wanted to accomplish each day. At night I wrote in my notebook three specific things that I planned to definitely get done the following day – no matter what.

Often times I have patients who will tell me they hear funny snapping, crackling and popping noises coming from their knees, hips, ankles, wrists during different motions and wonder if they’ve cracked or damaged the bone somehow. I assure them this is, generally, not the case and that those funny noises can be caused by a number of things that I’d like to share with you. Why Your Bones Are Talking To You

I want to dispel the kind of conventional thinking that leads to the creation of aging myths. Since I am a vibrant and healthy person who is about one year from hitting his 70th year mark, there is undoubtedly something valuable I can say about aging, especially compared to someone who is 50 or 60 years of age. My information is coming more from a direction of demonstrable results; it is not a lengthy dissertation and discussion on aging. More on this later, so please stay tuned!

(Part 1 of a two Part Review of Oxidative Stress Theory For Grey Hair) Let’s deal with it: 2011 is the year of the free radicals. From skincare systems encouraging us to shield ourselves from unsafe free radicals to diets meant to purge us from these cell-damaging entities, it appears as though our society is continually on the defensive in opposition to free radicals. Even so, free radicals aren’t just responsible for unhealthy diets and tired-looking skin: they’re als

Baltimore, Maryland's Ernestine "Ernie" Shepherd, at age 73, is a certified personal trainer, professional model and competitive all-natural bodybuilder. In March of 2010, on the stage of a television show in Rome, Italy, she was formally given the title of World's Oldest Performing Female Bodybuilder (by Guinness World Records). Not content to rest on her laurels, a couple of months later and less than two months shy of turning 74, Ernestine was back in the states and back o

If you are looking for honest Celtrixa reviews, you have come to the right place. Celtrixa is an anti stretch mark cream manufactured by the firm called Hydroxatone. Hydroxatone is a known name in skin care industry, which manufactures a wide range of skin care products including antiaging lotions, cleansers, toners, tanners, and brightening creams.

Skin care has become one of the most diluted consumer goods that is available today. As beauty seems to be more important than health in today’s world, many companies have being trying to develop products to cash in on this market. As with all big markets, this soon becomes diluted with poor quality products and some that don’t work at all. Every day we consume or apply manufactured goods which we know very little about. The increase in obesity, poor health and unnatural

Did you know there are a few simple nutrients that you can take to help you get rid of migraines for good? If you or a loved one suffers from migraines, you know that most people pop a pill and sleep the pain away in a dark room. And many of them deal with terrible side effects like hallucinations, weight gain, ulcers, seizures, confusion, dizziness, and nausea because they don’t know there are any safer alte atives. But the good news is that you can take just three simple nutrients and find relief from migraines right away.

nAs you age expect increasing amounts of fat tissue toward the center of the body. Fat will increase and lean body mass will decrease. The liver, kidney and other organs may lose some of their cells. Bones lose some of their minerals and become less dense. Water in your body is decreased by tissue loss. You may even become shorter. This loss of height is related to aging changes in the bones, muscles and joints. Height loss is greater after 70 years old. All total you may los

A few of my patients have asked me what I think about the latest news that prostate screening tests – known as PSA tests – are inaccurate. It turns out that less than one in three men with high amounts of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) in their bloodstream wind up having prostate cancer.1 Does that mean you shouldn’t bother getting screened for prostate cancer? Here’s the lowdown. PSA is a protein your prostate cells make to improve the quality of your semen.

Food, what we eat daily, provides the basic materials that build and sustain our bodies. In our prime we can seemingly eat anything and digest it, absorb it, assimilate it and utilize it. But as we age, stomach acid and enzyme production decrease, digestion worsens, absorption and assimilation of nutrients becomes less effective. Mechanisms for getting nutrients into our cells, and waste products out, become less effective. The basic starting point for any anti-aging effort is to eat so as to obtain all necessary nutrients and enhance the mechanisms for digestion, absorption and assimilation.

The Role of the Singer in the Worldr May 8th, 2011 I was involved in a project with about 5000 others online a couple of years ago now. We were each discovering things about ourselves and seeking ways to have an impact on the world we live in. What I learned about my self and my motivation charged my spirit with all sorts of new ideas for the future.

It’s a rare workplace environment that hasn’t experienced the corrosive effects of chronic negativity. Like a bad mood, negative behavior can spread among departments, even wide spread enough to infect company divisions or regions. It can be practiced by one individual or groups of individuals wanting to belong to something bigger than themselves. In the search for professinal kinship, groups will take issues and brew them until they are as scorched as bad coffee. Conseqeuntly, we coined a term for them, the Brew Crew.

Is beauty only skin deep, this the age-old question? Beauty should come from the inside out. But now a days everyone is looking for a formula or product to keep them looking beautiful and young. What they don’t realize is that if they took care of their body, they wouldn’t need the fountain of youth. rnIt is true that our bodies are continually aging from the time we are born until we die but it doesn’t mean that you have to feel old while aging. Here are some tips to s

As you age time creates change on the body’s organs and systems. Everyone is unique in the aging process. How you age is unique as well as when you age. There are some typical changes, however, common to everyone. In this article you will learn about some of those changes that take place during the aging process.nnThe cardiovascular system, your heart muscle, becomes less efficient and will work harder to pump the same amount of blood through your body.n nBones reach a

Brain health is today's hottest health topic. While research gives us more and more answers about how we can safeguard our brain health and significantly lower our risk for diseases such as Alzheimer's, the average person has little idea what exactly they can do. Often I am asked what we can do to boost everyday memory and protect our long-term brain health. Here are my top 10 things I think everyone should absolutely know about brain health – and they might just surprise you!

Wabi Sabi (wah-bee sah-bee) is a Japanese concept of life and art in which beauty is found in things that are weathered, asymmetrical, incomplete, imperfect and impermanent. As I age, my body is becoming all of the above and, therefore, Wabi Sabi has become my new kemo sahbee (faithful friend). I’m learning to see myself as a work of art, not in spite of my flaws, but BECAUSE of them. What a concept! I’ve had a head start with this Wabi Sabi way of seeing myself -- over t

Two recent news articles announced discovery of 13 gene variants that make us susceptible to developing type-2 diabetes later in life. The point of this article is that you don’t have to be a victim of genetic variants; you may be more susceptible to some disease of aging, but you don’t have to accept it as your fate. The variants discussed are called Single Nucleotide Polymorphism variants or SNPs. SNPs are the simplest variation that a gene can have; only one letter in the code is changed in a place that changes the molecule produced from the gene.

With age comes decreased capacity to repair cellular damage, to digest foods completely, to produce energy in our mitochondria, to recover from exercise, to take in and use oxygen, to circulate blood, repair cartilage, etc. Supplements are a primary strategy for getting around these limitations. (If you are young, before you know it this will all apply to you, so pay attention).

“Just a waste of my time,” I remember thinking while waiting my turn for a mammogram in Dr. Ira Berger’s office. I had brought my briefcase and had work spread on my lap, but spending time driving the 97-mile round trip from my home office to the radiologist’s was an unproductive part of my day. It was 1992 and I had been getting annual mammograms for more than 10 years – ever since I turned 45. But I felt I had better things to do with my time, especially since no one in my family had ever had breast cancer, or cancer of any kind.

Native to European mainland, lemon balm (Melissa officinalis), is now grown all over the world. It is an easy to care for perennial herb that is part of the mint family. It is sometimes referred to as lemon mint. It has no relation to the citrus fruit lemon or any part of the lemon tree. It often grows to about 2 feet tall and has light green heart shaped leaves. In the summer it has blooms of small white flowers, but it is most often grown for its lemon scented and flavorful leaves.

Mango is my favorite fruit next to pineapples. They’re sweet, juicy and delicious. This extraordinary fruit contains high amounts of vitamin A (contributing to it’s meaty bright orange color). It also contains Vitamins B, C , calcium, potassium and cartonoids (helps protect against cancer, common cold, and heart disease). They are also high in fiber and low in carbohydrates, making it an excellent addition to everyone’s diet.nnA great way to include mangos in your diet

Ah, November. It’s the month when winter gets serious, delighting skiers and little kids. It’s the time to put the thick, groovy, grab-the-road tires on my car and it’s when I celebrate my magical day! Nov. 18th is my birthday. That day I’ll get to blow out some candles and grin from ear to ear while my family sings to me. Then I’ll read aloud their hilarious birthday cards while they laugh so hard they have to hold their tummies, and happy tears squeeze from the corners of their eyes. Yes, November 18 is the magical day I was bo 74 years ago.

In September of 2009 Montana's Walter Bruening became the verified World's Oldest Man. Through his recent interviews, the speech he gave at his 113th birthday bash, and articles written about Walter, we can now piece together the "secrets" to his longevity and amazingly good health. While many, if not most, super centenarians appear to be painfully holding onto the ledge of life by their crippled arthritic fingertips, unable to even begin to explain why they've survived so lo

While we are all getting the same basic information on how to age well, individually we are getting drastically different results. Back in the Fall of 2009, this humble correspondent wrote about Montana's Bob Hayes. Bob had recently run the LeGrizz 50 Miler in 10 hours 47 minutes -- at AGE 83! This time placed him 63rd out of 91 extremely fit runners (you don't run 50 miles unless you are in great shape); in other words, he outran 28 significantly (decades) younger runners. I

When you push exercise to your aerobic limits, your cardiovascular/pulmonary system improves; it's called the 'training effect'. Your body adapts to the measured stress by becoming more efficient at getting oxygen to the cells, and the cells become more efficient in performing all their various functions. The bottom line is that the perceived effort in climbing a flight of stairs goes down; you don't have to breathe as hard to get to the top, and you recover from being out of breath faster.

A Less-than-timely Admission: At the American Heart Association's 50th Annual Conference on Cardiovascular Disease Epidemiology and Prevention, researchers reported that sugar-based drinks actually do contribute to heart disease and diabetes. That confession is about 50 years late in coming.

California's Bill Bell shows us how he transformed himself from ordinary to extraordinary. Bill went from a typical golf-playing executive with some excess poundage and a borderline health problem in his early fifties to an age-group champion Ironman triathlete in his sixties and seventies.

Janesville, Wisconsin's Lois Ann Gilmore overcame two major life-threatening diseases to become the USA Track & Field's Masters Athlete of the Year. For just about everyone her story is truly inspiring, but for those of us who struggle mightily to deal with a crick in our neck or the common cold, it's doubly inspirational. Lois Ann's first brush with death came in her late fifties when she was struck with breast cancer. Up until then, the former elementary school teacher had

Could Water Actually Be A Miracle Cure for Seniors? I have spent the last two years interviewing hundreds of seniors and researching how they treat and manage their pain, illnesses and other health and mobility related problems.

Aging is a process where certain changes occur and manifest in all the organs of the body. The only organ where these signs of aging remain visible is on the outer surface is the skin. The appearance of freckles, fine lines, dark spots, wrinkles all mark the onset of the aging. These signs not only accompany the growing age but, in some cases can result from neglecting the skin. Apart from getting older, disease, lack of nutrition (antioxidants and vitamins A, D, E), exposure

Testosterone is the hormone responsible for your health as a man. It drives your manhood and by the way, your libido. He cares about your muscle mass, your bone density, and even balances your mood. When your testosterone level is low, your whole human being is in danger. You will feel weak. You will spend time between sheets with your loved one. You will rarely feel good. It's a good thing that you can increase these levels. But first, you need to know what makes your testos

Eat all protein, practically no carbohydrates and practically no fat. Yes, that is right not many choices. Pretty much limited to meat and eggs. I did not say this was easy, but it is incredibly effective. It will throw your body into full ketosis within 24 hours of starting the program. In ketosis your body has converted from a carbohydrate burning machine to a fat burning machine, and because you will not be eating any fat the only fat to burn as energy will be your own body fat.

As I write this, I am acutely aware that some of what I am about to talk about with many you readers will be received by you in a variety of ways. Some of you will welcome a new, (but really not so new) idea, while others will disagree totally. As we age, we pay much attention to our health and well-being. We are encouraged to eat better, exercise, and generally engage ourselves in activities that are health-promoting and considered “good” for us older folks.

To optimize fitness for life, there are 6 key areas that should be attended to on a consistent, life-long basis. We can slack our attention for brief periods without much consequence, but get back on track quickly and the results are better.

There are several reasons why protein is especially important for older women who are pursuing weight loss goals. Weight loss alone generated by a reduction in food intake or calories can often be more detrimental to the body than excess body fat. Why? Diets that are low in calories, carbohydrates and protein can easily strip the body of 50% of its muscle tissue. The weight has come off. But so has the body’s lean muscle tissue, the body mass that keeps the body looking you

Resveratrol has age-defying power.₁ It switches on the genes your body naturally uses to extend life under conditions of stress (like starvation).

I noticed her when she came into the room – one of the last to arrive for my talk on how to grow younger. This small woman with gray hair was smartly dressed in a navy blue suit with the collar of a crisp white blouse peeking over the edges of her suit lapels. Her stylish black heels were a little too high, making her teeter as she walked. Her serious demeanor contrasted noticeably with the animated faces of the others there for the talk. What drew my attention to her was the way she looked furtively from side to side and then slunk down into a seat in the back.

A little History: The following discussion relates to concepts and ideas that are meant to enhance and support any Self Improvement efforts or programs you may be involved with. Throughout your recorded past, the Ego has been referred to in many ways and always to my knowledge as a low vibration, negative, detrimental and disempowering human attribute. More recently, the name Ego has become a mainstream generic term which is why the term Ego is being used in this and other writings.

The great comedia Lenny Bruce used to have a bit in which he said, "I was going on vacation, so my doctor gave me an important list of things to do for swimmers in shark infested waters". He´d slyly ask the audience, "Are you ready for the first ´do´?" "Get out of the water as soon as possible!" "Gee doc", he´d say sarcastically, "I´m really glad you thought of that one!" I was thinking about that routine this week while listening to Thursday´s televised discussion of the

There is no such disease as diabesity, and yet it is one of the most common problems encountered in older patients. Diabesity is the combination of diabetes and obesity. Unfortunately these two health issues often go hand in hand. The reality is if you are overweight you are much more likely to have elevated blood sugar (diabetes). If you have diabetes you are extremely likely to be overweight. Of course there is an exception to every rule. But this condition is called diabe

Use it or lose it doesn't apply only to muscle fitness or sex. It also applies to the brain. While researchers at the University of Kansas have found that getting plenty of physical exercise may keep your brain fit too, there’s even better news. Advances in brain imaging and neuroscience have enabled scientists to learn more about the brain and how it works.

Go wild and green Wild as in salmon, green as in grass. Let me explain. Wild salmon is a very different food from farm-raised. Wild salmon has higher levels of a potent antioxidant known as astaxanthin, which the salmon get from eating their natural diet of krill. Wild salmon has lower levels of inflammatory omega-6 fats– farmed salmon is loaded with omega-6’s due to their “factory farmed” diet of grain. According to studies by the Environmental Working Group, farmed salmon

In parts 1 and 2 of Why Some of Us Age Much Faster ... we learned that the larger the gap between our beliefs (read that, EXPECTATIONS) and our desires, the greater the stress that we experience. It is this resultant stress, or self-imposed resistance to our aspirations, that makes us age faster than necessary. We also discussed how by choosing thoughts that more closely align what we expect to happen (our beliefs) with what we would like to happen (our desires), the better o

Years ago I found out how incredible easy it is to make lotion. It is so inexpensive and organic that I wondered why anyone would even consider spending a dime on the chemical rich lotions on the market.nnBesides I had an added incentive, I have eczema, so I am extremely sensitive to what I put on my skin.

With the American popular media focus on youth and beauty, growing older is something nobody wants to face. It may beat the alte ative, but who looks forward to achy joints, age spots, and wrinkles? We’re all susceptible to the message that getting older means being washed up and less desirable. It’s no surprise then, that products that claim to have “anti-aging” effects are so popular. Who wouldn’t want to turn back the clock? If there were a quick, easy, non-invasive, pai

So, have you made your resolutions? Everyone I know is making them. "I'm going on a diet", one friend has proclaimed...for the 3rd year in a row. "I'm going to save some money", another friend has stated, one who has been known to shop 'til she drops.

Tinnitus is a condition that causes a person to hear sounds and noises that no one else can hear. Tinnitus is a fairly common condition that occurs in about 10% of the population. Tinnitus is normally found in the elderly however more recent studies have shown an increase in tinnitus occurrence in younger populations. More than likely this change in occurrence is due to the increased exposure of younger generations to loud noises such as music, guns, blow dryers, etc. People

Every time I see my patient, Eddie*, I always tell him, “Eddie, when I grow up, I want to be like you.” Eddie buzzes with energy. At 88 years old he’s full of life – more healthy and active than many 20-year-olds I know.rn rnEddie says the secret to his vitality is coffee. In my opinion the jury’s still out on whether Eddie’s right here. I’ve known him long enough to know he does a lot of good things for his health that contribute to the spring in his step. But

In the last few decades the large pharmaceutical companies have made a concerted effort to get as many people as possible using prescription medicines. Often our doctors are willing accomplices in the business strategy of these drug companies.

As we get older, we start to notice things such as sore achy joints, thinner muscles and flabby skin.

Over the past 6 months I have had a couple dozen people tell their personal experience with the HCG diet. They tell me that they are eating only 500 calories a day and they are not hungry.

When we are young the outer layer of skin on our face and body is regenerated daily. In other words, the outer layer of skin dies and is replaced by new fresh skin. This process of out with the old and in with the new goes on throughout our early lives. This is exactly why the skin of a younger person is usually supple and vibrant. At around forty years old this natural process begins to slow down dramatically to where our skin is barely regenerating on its own. The skin of an older person can become dull and grey.

Frowning stretches skin around the muscles of forehead, mouth and between the eyes. They emerge due to tedious movement of the muscles under the skin and are also known as dynamic wrinkles.

These proteins start diminishing by the late twenties and as a result forehead frown lines appear. These lines mainly appear because of constant frowning

nThe Wear and Tear TheorynnThe Wear and Tear Theory was first introduced by Dr. August Weismann, a German biologist in 1882.

The phrase 'grow old gracefully' is no longer applicable in our society, as most people now cling onto the notion of eternal youth. This is especially true when it comes to appearance, with an increasing number of people turning to drastic measures, such as botox and face lifts, to reduce those dreaded lines and wrinkles. People who don't want to take this leap or just simply don't have the budget which will stretch this far, tend to opt for anti-wrinkle creams. In-fact, anti

I’ll just make up the sleep on the weekend, or on my next vacation, we say. Well, unfortunately studies are showing it just does not work like that when it comes to sleep. A sleep deficit cannot be made up by getting an occasional complete night sleep. Sleep must come in a regular and consistent pattern to achieve the desired results. We spend millions of dollars on diets, vitamins, medicine, and on doctors for our health.
