What are the Treatments for Neck and Chest with Solvaderm?

We all need to age, right! Yes, and for many of us the first signs of aging take place in the neck or chest. However, there are many available solutions for us today to rid these telltale signs of aging. Solvaderm Revivatone is only one of them when compared to many others that we will be discussing here!

For many in the past before there were concerns about the environment and the ozone layer, many of us never used sun protection on our face, neck or the check. Now, with environmental concerns and the ultraviolet rays of the sun being more potent, the awareness of skin cancer and aging has become a major concern - as one need to take care of your face, neck, and chest as they get most of the sun.

However, when one gets older the first signs of aging for some show on their neck and chest fine lines slowly creeping up on us - this is a concern for some as one want to live forever young and opt to take severe measures in some cosmetic procedures such as Fraxel Laser Treatment.

How does Fraxel Treatment Work?

When used a Fraxel laser creates think pixel zones deep into one's skin and in turn repairs the skin as it pushes out old sun damage and replaces them with new skin. It triggers your body with a natural healing process to help accelerate the production of collagen, providing one with a healthy skin.

A Fraxel treatment lasts all depending on how well you keep your skin protected from the sun and all depends on your genetic aging process. Many people see results of progress within a week after their first treatment and the skin feel smoother and look less blotchy with a glow and the results all depending on what you need to treat. This can take up to 6 months.

These costs vary up to $1900 and the whole procedure takes up to 2 ½ hours as one first needs to have the area cleaned and requires one to have a numbing cream rubbed on and takes up to an hour. They remove the numbing cream and apply a gel that helps with the laser roller movement over your skin. This takes up to an hour depending on the areas treated and leaves one with a mild to moderate pain.

Here comes the pain again

Here comes the pain again (ouch) as after treatment, it feels as if you have sunburned and requires ice pack treatment for at least 5 - 6 hours after the treatment and a wide brim hat to cover up the area when one walks outside.

The redness starts subsiding in three days, a bronze color will start showing, lasts up to 2 weeks and the skin may start to flake, and the complete painful procedures repeated in three to eight weeks again.

Fraxel Laser Treatment or Solvaderm

Fraxel Treatment can reverse visible signs of aging, Solvaderm can do that too without pain at an affordable price.

There are two types of fractional laser treatments these days a gentle one and the harsher one a carbon dioxide laser treatment. The gentle ones used to help moderate acne scarring and fine lines in younger patients - while the CO² one is for older patients.

However, fractional laser treatments not good for redness, but works on brown pigments and requires caution on melasma. It requires a series of these treatments from 3 to 5 over a period of 3 - 8 weeks.

Fraxel is a good skin care treatment but not all can afford to avail it. Solvaderm has formulated their products which can deliver the same results at a lesser price. The proactive approach is to prevent signs of aging by choosing the right products for your skin type, the reactive way is to undergo series of treatments to treat those aging signs.

Why choose Solvaderm?

When one looks at the Fraxel treatment compared to the price is more affordable and if you are like many others who do not like pain, Revivatone provides one with exactly the same (without the pain.) It is an advanced solution formulated to repair and correct different signs of aging along the chest and neckline. It is a natural beauty product with dual-peptide to boost collagen levels and helps improve your skin tensile strength.

It involves absolutely NO PAIN or any look of sunburn and requires one to apply to the neck and chest in the morning and at night with effects seen in two weeks with dramatic results up to 12 weeks when used continuously.

Definitely no pain and massive gain

Solvaderm Revivatone has definitely no pain and provides one with only massive gain as it reinforces the connective tissue network for a youthful skin while firming and toning it and promotes collagen synthesis in a natural way. Be proactive with Solvaderm!

Cheese world fears crackdown on wood boards

NEW YORK (AP) - Aging cheese on wood boards is a common practice among artisan cheesemakers at home and overseas. Now, some in the industry are worried regulators may crack down on it.

In recent communication to the New York regulators, the Food and Drug Administration noted that wood shelves and boards cannot be adequately cleaned and sanitized, and as such, do not conform to a particular regulation regarding plant equipment and utensils.

The federal agency also noted that "proper cleaning and sanitation of equipment and facilities are absolutely necessary to ensure that pathogens do not find niches to reside and proliferate."

In a statement issued Tuesday, however, the FDA seemed to backtrack on the stance. It noted that it hasn't taken any enforcement action based solely on the use of wood shelves. And while it said it has expressed concern about whether wood can be adequately cleaned, it added that it is "always open to evidence that shows that wood can be safely used for specific purposes, such as aging cheese."

The FDA said it will engage with the artisanal cheesemaking community to determine whether certain types of cheese can be safely made by aging them on wood shelves.

When asked what that process would entail, FDA spokeswoman Lauren Sucher said in an email that the agency "can't speculate on immediate next steps."

The note to New York regulators had sparked concern in the cheese world because much of the cheese that's imported in the U.S. is aged on wood. Robert Ralyea, a senior extension associate at Cornell University's Department of Food Science, said aging cheese on wood is even a part of the standard of identity for some cheeses, such as Comte cheese.

Ralyea said he had made the inquiry about wood boards to New York state regulators on behalf of Finger Lakes Farmstead Cheese, a local cheesemaker. State regulators then requested clarity from the FDA on the matter. The FDA's communication was posted late last week, sparking the concerns in the cheese world.

"A sense of disbelief and distress is rippling through the U.S. artisan cheese community," wrote the blog Cheese Underground.

The American Cheese Society, a trade association based in Denver, also posted an alert to its members, assuring them it was mobilizing to learn more about the issue. Nora Weiser, executive director for the society, said the aging of cheese on wood boards has never been an issue in the past. She said state inspectors have generally just worked with cheesemakers to ensure the wood is being properly cleaned.

"We can't guess what they'll do. Their goal is safety, and that's our goal as well," Weiser said. But she added that the American Cheese Society wanted to "preserve this as a method of aging cheese."

Weiser wasn't immediately available for a comment on the FDA's latest statement.

Nancy Richards, owner of Finger Lakes Farmstead Cheese, said she was shut down seven months ago after listeria was found in her plant, which uses wood to age cheese. She wasn't certain of the specific reason, but said she thinks the FDA has never liked wood for aging cheese.

"Do I like being the poster child for the wood board issue? No, not really," she said.

She added that she believes that wood boards that are well kept can be adequately cleaned.

Side effects of statins prevent older adults from keeping fit: Study

Muscle pain, fatigue, and weakness are common side effects in patients prescribed statins, according to a new study. The study suggests that physical activity is important for older adults to remain healthy. The authors used the Osteoporotic Fractures in Men Study to examine the relationship between self-reported physical activity and statin use with seven years of follow-up. The average age of the men in the study was nearly 73 years.

Of the 3,039 men included in the longitudinal analysis, 727 (24 percent) were statin users at baseline and 1,467 (48 percent) never used a statin during the follow-up period. About one-quarter of the men (n=845) first reported using a statin during the follow-up. Scores on a self-reported physical activity questionnaire declined by an average of 2.5 points per year for nonusers and 2.8 points per year for prevalent users, a difference that was not statistically significant. (Read: Should statins should be taken by all over-40s to keep cholesterol levels in check?)

For new users, annual scores declined at a faster rate than nonusers. A total of 3,071 men (1,542 of them statin users) had accelerometry data (a measure of movement). Statin users expended less metabolic equivalents (METS); engaged in less moderate physical activity with 5.4 fewer minutes per day; less vigorous activity with 0.6 fewer minutes per day and had more sedentary behavior with 7.6 more minutes per day. (Read: Discovery shows statins could fight cancer)

What are statins?

Statins are a class of drugs that are prescribed for lowering the levels of cholesterol in the blood. When the blood cholesterol levels are high, cholesterol gets deposited on the walls of the arteries along with other fatty substances to form a plaque. This deposition is linked to a number of diseases and conditions includingatherosclerosis, coronary artery disease, stroke and heart attack. Statins act by blocking or obstructing a substance in the liver that is required to synthesize cholesterol. When the synthesis of cholesterol by the liver is inhibited, cholesterol from the blood is absorbed which causes a drop and prevents further blocks in the blood vessels. Commonly used statins include atorvastatin, simvastatin, lovastatin and pravastatin. Statins are usually the first line of treatment provided to patients with high cholesterol because apart from lowering cholesterol they also work to enhance the functioning of blood vessels, reduce the risk of blood clots, improve plaque stability as well as reduce stress on the cells. The 2014 guidelines on cholesterol (published by the American College of Cardiology (ACC) and the American Heart Association (AHA), suggests that patients who have a  10 year risk of heart disease greater than 7.5 should be prescribed statins.

Losing Weight May Require Some Serious Fun

If you are aiming to lose weight by revving up your exercise routine, it may be wise to think of your workouts not as exercise, but as playtime. An unconventional new study suggests that people’s attitudes toward physical activity can influence what they eat afterward and, ultimately, whether they drop pounds.

For some time, scientists have been puzzled — and exercisers frustrated — by the general ineffectiveness of exercise as a weight-loss strategy. According to multiple studies and anecdotes, most people who start exercising do not lose as much weight as would be expected, given their increased energy expenditure. Some people add pounds despite burning hundreds of calories during workouts.

Past studies of this phenomenon have found that exercise can increase the body’s production of appetite hormones, making some people feel ravenous after even a light workout and prone to consume more calories than they expended. But that finding, while intriguing, doesn’t fully explain the wide variability in people’s post-exercise eating habits.

So, for the new study, published in the journal Marketing Letters, French and American researchers turned to psychology and the possible effect that calling exercise by any other name might have on people’s subsequent diets.

In that pursuit, the researchers first recruited 56 healthy, adult women, the majority of them overweight. The women were given maps detailing the same one-mile outdoor course and told that they would spend the next half-hour walking there, with lunch to follow.

Half of the women were told that their walk was meant to be exercise, and they were encouraged to view it as such, monitoring their exertion throughout. The other women were told that their 30-minute outing would be a walk purely for pleasure; they would be listening to music through headphones and rating the sound quality, but mostly the researchers wanted them to enjoy themselves.

When the women returned from walking, the researchers asked each to estimate her mileage, mood and calorie expenditure.

Those women who’d been formally exercising reported feeling more fatigued and grumpy than the other women, although the two groups’ estimates of mileage and calories burned were almost identical. More telling, when the women sat down to a pasta lunch, with water or sugary soda to drink, and applesauce or chocolate pudding for dessert, the women in the exercise group loaded up on the soda and pudding, consuming significantly more calories from these sweets than the women who’d thought that they were walking for pleasure.

A follow-up experiment by the researchers, published as part of the same study, reinforces and broadens those findings. For it, the researchers directed a new set of volunteers, some of them men, to walk the same one-mile loop. Once again, half were told to consider this session as exercise. The others were told that they would be sightseeing and should have fun. The two groups covered the same average distance. But afterward, allowed to fill a plastic bag at will with M&M’s as a thank-you, the volunteers from the exercise group poured in twice as much candy as the other walkers.

Finally, to examine whether real-world exercisers behave similarly to those in the contrived experiments, the researchers visited the finish line of a marathon relay race, where 231 entrants aged 16 to 67 had just completed laps of five to 10 kilometers. They asked the runners whether they had enjoyed their race experience and offered them the choice of a gooey chocolate bar or healthier cereal bar in consideration of their time and help. In general, those runners who said that their race had been difficult or unsatisfying picked the chocolate; those who said that they had fun gravitated toward the healthier choice.

In aggregate, these three experiments underscore that how we frame physical activity affects how we eat afterward, said Carolina O.C. Werle, an associate professor of marketing at the Grenoble School of Management in France, who led the study. The same exertion, spun as “fun” instead of “exercise,” prompts less gorging on high-calorie foods, she said.

Just how, physiologically, our feelings about physical activity influence our food intake is not yet known, she said, and likely to be bogglingly complex, involving hormones, genetics, and the neurological circuitry of appetite and reward processing. But in the simplest terms, Dr. Werle said, this new data shows that most of us require recompense of some kind for working out. That reward can take the form of subjective enjoyment. If exercise is fun, no additional gratification is needed. If not, there’s chocolate pudding.

The good news is that our attitudes toward exercise are malleable. “We can frame our workouts in different ways,” Dr. Werle said, “by focusing on whatever we consider fun about it, such as listening to our favorite music or chatting with a friend” during a group walk.

“The more fun we have,” she concluded, “the less we’ll feel the need to compensate for the effort” with food.

Does Drinking Water on an Empty Stomach Help You Lose Weight?

Since water is calorie-free and there is so much of it already in our bodies, it may seem as if it can’t make a great difference in weight-loss efforts. However, it actually has the capacity to play an instrumental role in improving your health as well as helping you slim down.

Benefits
Every time you take a drink of water, the liquid goes to work in performing vital functions that keep all of your body’s systems running smoothly. Drinking water regularly keeps an optimally moist environment for your tissues, removes toxins from your organs, carries nutrients to cells that need them and contributes to boosting your energy level. In addition, having water before meals might spur you to eat fewer net calories because it tricks your body into thinking it is full.

For Weight Loss

In a 2010 study, Virginia Tech nutrition professor and researcher Brenda Davy led a team that studied the relationship between weight loss and drinking water before meals. In a large group of obese and overweight participants, some drank two cups of water on an empty stomach before meals; the others had no water but followed the same low-calorie diet. After 12 weeks, the water drinkers had lost almost 30 percent more weight and were eating between 75 and 90 fewer calories per meal.

The Why

Davy’s study points to a resounding yes in the question of whether drinking water on an empty stomach can lead to weight loss. However, no one is sure why that seems to be the case. Davy notes that water may act as an appetite suppressant, since it fills the stomach despite containing no calories. Melina Jampolis, physician nutrition specialist for CNN.com, suggests that the strategy might work because the body sometimes confuses hunger and thirst and could be satisfied by the water instead of by food. Jampolis also points out that water keeps you hydrated, and even a slight presence of dehydration can cause a notable drop in metabolic rate.

Considerations

As the National Institutes of Health states, the only proven way to lose weight is to consistently burn more calories than you consume. Since water doesn’t add to your daily calorie count, it’s a smart way to potentially avoid overeating, but it’s not a guaranteed weight loss strategy; you must actually eat less or move more to slim down. Additionally, Davy’s study does not indicate that drinking water during meals can lead to weight loss as well. Before you make any significant changes to your diet or start a weight-loss plan, speak with your physician.

Exercise May Be the Most Effective Weapon Against Aging

Keeping active may be the secret to staying young for both mice and men. Researchers from Canada’s McMaster University discovered that endurance exercise could halt the aging process in a group of mice, even though they were genetically engineered to age faster.

These furry creatures continued to exhibit the same youthful appearance as normal mice after engaging in a treadmill exercise routine over a period of several months. In addition, the exercise program prevented premature aging in almost every organ of the morphed mice. Details on the mighty mice can be found in the journal .

The results of the analysis indicate that not only can exercise help to prevent an early death, it can also delay the aging process. The researchers said that the exercise routine provided nearly 100 percent protection against graying fur, hair loss, brain and muscle atrophy, and more.

According to lead study author Mark Tarnopolsky, a Professor of pediatrics and medicine at McMaster's DeGroote School of Medicine, “What really shocked us was the gonads, the spleen, liver -- every tissue we looked at was made better with the exercise. It has a systemic effect and even prevented a slight shrinkage of the brain.”

The mice in the study were genetically engineered to have an age-inducing defect in their cell powerhouses, known as mitochondria. As mitochondria age, less energy is generated for cells in the body to run on. The mice were assigned to either an exercise or non-exercise group. The exercise group was forced to jog at a brisk pace on a treadmill for 45 minutes, three times weekly.

After a five-month period, the researchers found that prevention of premature aging had occurred among all the mice in the exercise group. While these mighty mice remained active and looked as young as ever, the sedentary mice were inactive, more socially isolated, and less fertile, as well as balding and turning gray. Whereas the muscle tissue of the active mice was found to be completely normal, the tissue of the inactive mice showed signs of damage.

But the biggest discovery was seen in the mitochondria of the morphed mice. The mitochondria among these mice had gone from damaged to young and healthy. Experts have long-suspected that the accumulation of mitochondrial DNA mutations over the lifespan leads to the progressive decline in tissue and organ function, which results in aging.

Tarnopolsky noted that the results of the study are applicable to humans and he is hopeful that the outcome for the exercising mice will motivate people to get on the move. He remarked, “When you see the video with the mice barely moving and their sisters moving around healthy, that may shock them into getting their butts off the couch and get some exercise.”

Previous studies on genetically engineered, premature-aging mice have included calorie restriction and a variety of drugs that have had far less promising results. Regarding the benefits of exercise on health, Tarnopolsky pointed out, “Many people falsely believe that the benefits of exercise will be found in a pill. We have clearly shown that there is no substitute for the ‘real thing’ of exercise when it comes to protection from aging.”

The good news is that it’s never too late to get on that treadmill. Tarnopolsky noted that studies have shown that even those who have spent far too much time being sedentary can still reap the benefits of exercise, and gain energy, mobility and promote healthier organs. Take Tarnopolsky’s advice to “Get moving, get active and get your kids moving while they are young.” The road to fitness just may lead to the fountain of youth.
