Acne: Acne Problems?

Acne

Did you know according to research..."milk can be the culprit to acne problems"

Dear Friend,

Milk is supposed to be good for you, but it might not be so good for a teenager's complexion. Dermatologists seem to agree that something in milk and dairy products may be linked to teenage acne, which may explain why hormones and bioactive molecules in milk could be the culprit.

Specificially the iodine found in milk, which can be still at a significant level, including milk in the U.S., Britain, Denmark, Norway and Italy.

You see, farmers give their cows iodine-fortified feed to prevent infection, and they use sanitizing iodine solutions on their cows' udders and milking equipment.

Thanks for reading. At least this give syou something to think about...and while you're out it, why not give milk a miss for a while and see if your acne clears.

Alternative medicine: Considering Acupuncture?

Alternative medicine

Dear Friend,

Acupuncture has been a part of Chinese medicine for more than 2,000 years, and is becoming an often-used technique in today's world of alternative medicine.

The procedure involves a series of very fine needles, inserted just below the skin in specific areas called acupoints. Acupuncture usually does not hurt, and the needles are typically only left in the skin for a few minutes.

The American Cancer Society says that, while acupuncture is not a scientifically proven treatment, some people find that it eases nausea associated with chemotherapy. Others have found it helpful in relieving symptoms of asthma, headaches, back pain and other musculoskeletal pains.

When searching for an acupuncturist, the ACS stresses that you should be sure to find one who is well trained and uses clean, sterile utensils in a proper environment.

Improperly practiced, acupuncture may lead to infections, dizziness, internal bleeding, and nerve damage. People with cardiac pacemakers and other internal electrical devices should talk to a physician before having acupuncture.

9 of the biggest reasons why Spinach is King?

Do you like fish???

Some people feel we need to eat fish to get our good oils.  

Well, by including spinach in your diet you can take advantage of the same essential fatty acids that re found in fish. 

These omega 3 nutrients can help keep the heartbeat regular, reduce the level of fatty substances in the blood and prevent blood clots from forming in the coronary arteries.

Dear Lifestyler,

How are you doing...thanks for reading, I appreciate you.

* It's all nutrients - it is rich in both iron and calcium and is an excellent source of beta-carotene, chlorophyll, vitamin C, riboflavin and potassium. 

* It goes with everything--very versatile veggie.  Chop it raw into salads or mix in with cooked food and is great for juicing with carrots, etc.

* If you are planning a baby, or are already pregnant, spinach should be top of your list.  Just 100g provides ¾ of an adult's daily requirements and it is easily absorbed.

* Protection - those who are at risk of cancer, would benefit from adding spinach to regular meals or juice.  The vegetable is one of the richest sources of protective carotenoids - containing more than other dark green fruits and veggies.

* Eye Sight - it is two of the carotenoids (lutein and zeaxanthine) that play an essential role in protecting your eyesight.  These have also been found to help reduce the risk of colon cancer.

* Blood-boosting - the iron and chlorophyll in spinach helps to build the blood, while its sulphur content helps clean the liver and relieve herpes irritations.  It is both a diuretic and laxative.

* Fight signs of aging - spinach contains high levels of antioxidants, which help keep us healthy and young.  Antioxidants are responsible for fighting free radical, which harm cells and DNA and cause aging.

* Getting your vits - Green leafy veggies, such as spinach are an excellent source of vitamin C.  This nutrient is essential to help the immune system, encourage wound healing and protect against some forms of cancer.  Our bodies cannot store the vitamin, so it is important to top up levels each day, particularly if your are prone to colds and infections. 


TO GET MAXIMUM BENEFIT FROM SPINACH, EAT IT RAW TO RETIN THE NUTRIENTS THAT COOKING DESTROYS.
