Sleep and Insomnia

Sleep and Insomnia

When people say they are having their beauty sleep they are certainly telling the truth.

Sleep can do more for anti aging than many other factors combined as this is a time when the body recovers and regenerates.

With a lack of sleep the body doesn't get a chance to recover from the rigors of the day and slowly but surely your state of health with degenerate.

As we become more and more tired from a lack of sleep other things are needed to help us make it through the day and they often come in the form of low value, high sugar energy drinks and high carb junk foods that give a temporary burst until hunger strikes again and another fattening mouthful of food is required.

Soon the combination of a lack of sleep and poor nutrition leads to sedentary lifestyle where there is no time, energy or inclination for exercise and the downward spiral of poor health continues to increase the aging process.

Without sufficient sleep you can't hope to look your best and soon the muscles under the skin will become tired and the skin will lose its elasticity. The face will begin to sag and you will look tired and older.

Sleep deprivation will cause the body to store more fat and that will also make you look older. The fitter and healthier you can remain the younger you will look and it is not possible to be at your optimum level of health when you are trying to get by without enough sleep.

Insomnia affects a large portion of the population and the fast lifestyle that we all lead and the financial stress that many people are under these days certainly adds to the problems we have relaxing however there are many good resources available that can help people overcome insomnia.

Alcohol

Alcohol

A little alcohol won't do you any harm, and in some circumstances it can actually be good for you in moderation but the consumption of excessive amounts of alcohol will do very little for maintaining a youthful appearance.

Even those who are young, stupid and drink too much alcohol will find that various aspects of their health will deteriorate and they will age faster than those who are drinking in moderation.

Alcohol will dehydrate you and by drinking a lot of alcohol the effect of the dehydration is magnified which will cause the skin to become less hydrated and thereby dry and lifeless.

Applying moisturizers will not compensate for the lack of hydration from within.

Often excessive drinking is also associated with partying and other factors such as smoking (and even secondhand smoke from others at the parties) that will play havoc with the skin and cause it to age faster.

Lifestyle choices will affect your appearance and unhealthy lifestyles will be reflected in an unhealthy complexion and that is not the way to stay young.

It is not uncommon to see young guys and girls with excess fat around their waistlines these days and much of it can be attributed to consuming excessive amounts of alcohol.

While they might 'get away with it' while they are still young it will certainly take it's toll as they age and if they continue to live in that manner they can't hope to look as good as they should as the years pass by.

Drinking a lot of red wine will also stain the teeth and this gives them an aged look that certainly won't enhance a person's youthful appearance.

It is good to have fun in life and that will help to keep you young but there are always limits where a little more of something that feels good can make you look not so good in the long run.

Moderation is the key to success.

Sun Protection

Sun Protection

One of the biggest causes of aging is from exposure to the sun. The sun can do considerable damage to the skin and it is this damage that causes the aging effect.

There are other more serious problems that can be associated with excessive exposure to the sun such as skin cancer that should always be remembered the next time you decide to sunbathe.

The tan that you will get from the sun isn't permanent but the damage certainly is so you should consider other alternatives such as the range of quality 'fake' tanning creams and lotions that are available. These will give you the tanned look that you desire without the negative side effects of skin damage.

Some exposure to the sun is necessary for good health but only a moderate amount is required and a good SPF sun protection lotion should be applied to the skin at all times when outside in sunny conditions.

Other damage from exposure to the sun such as discoloration and sun spots will make you look more aged and while there are many excellent treatments such as skin peels and laser resurfacing that can reduce these blemishes the best solution is to avoid them in the first place so such treatments aren't needed as they will never make the skin as good as it would be if it had never been damaged.

Skin damage from the sun on your hands is an area that will make you look more aged and a lot of this damage can come through the windscreen of your car when you are driving so make sure you have sufficient sun protection on your hands when driving and even consider wearing gloves if you live in a particularly sunny environment.

Wear a hat and sunglasses wherever possible to protect your skin and a good moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated at all times.

The Effects of Smoking on Aging

The Effects of Smoking on Aging

If you have ever watched the makeover programs that they have on television from time to time you will notice that the people they often chose for the shows where they are trying to make people look ten years younger or thereabouts are those who smoke.

There is a very good reason for this and that is simply because smokers will generally look a lot older than others of the same age.

Smoking is only second to over exposure to the sun for making the skin look old, tired and unhealthy. Of course there are the other factors that need to be considered with smoking such as lung cancer that will certainly shorten your life and decrease the quality of life along the way.

Smoking will also discolor teeth and teeth discoloration is something that is associated with aging. The smokers hair will also usually be somewhat discolored too.

Smoking leaches a lot of goodness out of the body and that is shown in the skin causing a lifeless dry condition.

Wrinkles also form around the lips of smokers from the action of sucking on the cigarette on such a regular basis and it is common for smokers to have more frown lines due to the fact that they often have to look through the smoke haze that they are expelling in front of their eyes.

When you add all these negative effects together it becomes easy to see why smokers look so much older for their age and how eliminating smoking can stop the speed of the aging process and to some extent reverse the trend.

Once smoking has ceased then various skin treatments, tooth whitening procedures and other positive anti aging processes can be implemented that will help the person to look considerably younger and healthier, provided they don't resort to smoking again.

Attitude and Positive Thinking

Attitude and Positive Thinking

Many people are surprised to learn how much their attitude and the power of positive thinking can have on their aging.

Quite apart from the fact that a person who has a positive attitude tends to smile more often and the affect that smiling can have on toning the face and making a person look younger there are the other aspects of better health that come with positive thinking.

Thinking positively will make a person focus more on the things in life that will deliver better results in health and mind and those alone will make you feel and act younger.

Positive thinking will help a person to set and achieve goals and do things that others of the same age might believe they are past doing.

When you feel better about yourself, as you will do with positive thinking and the correct attitude, that confidence will show on your face and that will make you look younger as people do tend to become more negative as they age and find that they aren't able to do certain things any longer.

Most of the things that we do in life are from the habits that we have formed and by simply creating a positive attitude or changing your attitude to one that is more positive you can end bad habits that are affecting your life.

These changes can result in ceasing smoking or refraining from eating the foods that have caused a person to become overweight. Once changes are made, more changes can be made more easily and all these little 'positive' steps can lead to big changes in a person's life.

And those changes can not only extend a persons life expectancy but they can also make them look younger at the same time - and that of course will be another added boost for their confidence.

Exercise

Exercise

Without a doubt the best way to looker younger, feel younger and live longer is by exercising on a regular basis and maintaining a better state of health. You don't need to do excessive exercise, and in fact too much exercise can actually make you look aged. Look at people participating in sports such as marathon running and you will notice that many of them look considerably older than they actually are simply because they are exposing their bodies to excessive stress and also because they are exercising outside for long periods of time their skin becomes 'weather beaten' and aged.

Everything should be done in moderation if you are looking for the best results where you get the benefit of the exercise and also the anti aging and health factors that are associated with the correct fitness programs.

There are many types of exercise that will give you considerable benefit for anti aging and they can range from tai chi which is excellent for both young and old people to various different forms of resistance training that is also suitable for most age groups but needs to be monitored with elderly people to ensure they don't get any injuries.

Resistance training when used correctly has many benefits that can help you to look younger. Apart from the benefits of toning the body, the tension that you get in your face muscles when doing the exercises can act in a similar manner to a face life and many people don't realize that the biggest change that you can get from a face life is from the muscles under the skin.

Resistance training will also reduce the percentage of fat in the body which in turn will make you look younger as a firm fat free body is a condition that most people associate with youth.

Supplements

Supplements

Supplements can certainly help to make up for any nutrients that are lacking in your diet and that can help you to look and stay younger for longer.

Any time there is something lacking in your system there will be some form of deterioration that will be caused by that. This can be in the form of weight gain, muscle loss, graying hair, dry and flaking skin and so on.

All these factors will make you look older as the years soon show where people have been abusing their health even to a minor extent.

The first step is to try to maintain a healthy diet with good quality foods and drink and a wide selection of the necessary fresh fruits, vegetables, fiber, water and so on. Unfortunately many of the foods that we get these days are lacking in essential nutrients or the nutrients that are there are considerably less than we are led to believe.

This is due to the quality of the land where the food is grown having been over utilized and the goodness has been lost over time. Even seafood can be affected by pollution in the water and while we are eating a good balance of food the food itself is out of balance.

This is why it is often necessary to supplement our diets with additional essential vitamins and minerals to maintain healthy levels in the body.

If you notice changes such as rapidly graying hair, your skin become blotchy or particularly dry and other such problems then this is generally a sign that there is an imbalance in your nutrition and using quality supplements can have a very positive effect on your health and well-being.

With so many different choices in the market it can be a little difficult deciding what you need so the best place to start without spending a fortune is to get a multi vitamin and mineral supplement and take that while looking to see whether there are any signs of improvement in areas of your health.

You can get a hair analysis for a comprehensive chart of exactly where you might be lacking in nutrition and this is where a sample of your hair is sent to a laboratory where they test it for various different levels of specific minerals.

Makeup

Makeup

Good makeup can transform your 'look'.

A good makeup artist can take years off your age in an afternoon with the right selection of colors and products and the correct application of those products.

Most women have been using the same colors and products for years and are unaware of the changes that can be made with good advice from the right makeup artist.

Often a slight change in the colors you are using for your makeup can make you look years younger and it is money well worth spending to get some advice from a recommended makeup professional.

As you will be applying makeup for the majority of your life the benefits that you can get from a good consultation can make you feel so much better about yourself on a daily basis that you might consider it the best money you have ever spent on yourself. Good makeup artists these days have knowledge of products that you will probably never have the time to research and they can look at your skin and make recommendations that will ensure your skin remains in top condition at all times. This advice alone is worth knowing as it will help you to help yourself look younger for longer.

Good makeup when applied correctly can hide a multitude of skin problems and the use of the correct shading and colors can have the same or sometimes better effect than a surgical face lift and look more natural too.

The majority of women who haven't had professional advice are generally using the wrong products, the wrong colors for their complexion and skin problems and are applying those products in the wrong manner. These facts alone would suggest that there are some good benefits to be had by most people seeking advice from those with the necessary experience.

Resurfacing and Face Peels

By removing the outer layer of the skin with laser resurfacing the skin care specialist has the ability to reduce discoloration and other problems that are signs of aging.

Fine lines and wrinkles can disappear or at the very least be diminished and even scars can be faded somewhat where they are unnoticeable or can be hidden with a light foundation.

As well as improving the colors and marks on the skin, laser resurfacing also helps to tighten the skin and has the effect of a mild face lift for many people which gives a more youthful appearance.

This tightening of the skin can help it to remain firm for several months at a time after the initial treatment. People respond differently to the laser resurfacing treatment with some getting more benefits than others.

The laser also stimulates the growth of new collagen which helps the skin to remain tighter and appear younger looking.

A good dermatologist is always recommended as the laser treatment needs specific techniques when applied to the various skin tones. There are also two types of lasers that are commonly used and the dermatologist will need to decide which one will be most appropriate and in some cases both will need to be used to target varying levels of scarring.

Laser treatments can in fact cause scarring to the skin with people who have dark complexions so a well recommended professional is always necessary to ensure there is no damage caused in the process.

Infection after the treatment can be a concern and often medication is required to avoid any complications. Another concern is with those people who have sensitive skin where recovery can take longer and infection can be more likely.

While there are the possibility of problems with this form of treatment, if done right the results can be very good and help make the skin look rejuvenated and help to turn back the clock.

Skin Care

When you look at someone and try to determine how old they are there are various different areas that you will look at as signs of age.

You will look at hair color and/or lack of hair. You will look at teeth discoloration and even such things as posture but there is one thing that will show a persons age more than anything else and that is their skin.

Your skin is a mirror of your lifestyle and the choices you have made thus far in your life.

Discoloration and blotches are a sign of age and the way that hormones change over the years and also a sign of years of exposure to the sun.

Dry skin is a sign of dehydration and this can also lead to flaky skin and various other problems that people will associate with aging.

Dehydrated skin will also be more prone to wrinkles and add another factor to the aging process. The skin loses it's flexibility as we age and good nutrition, water and the use of good quality skin care products will help to slow down the aging process and make you look younger.

By using good skin care products you can wind back the body clock and keep that area of the body that is so telling on your age in the best condition possible.

We all have different skin types, from oily to dry and all different combinations in between so it will often take some experimentation before you find the right products for your skin. There will be products that you might not be able to use due to various skin sensitivities and so on. Once you find a product that suits your skin type it is wise to stick with it while it is working for you but always be aware that as you age you might need to change some of the products that you use simply because your skin will change with age and you will need to address changing aspects of it over time.

Essential Fats

Essential Fats

Essential Fats are so named because they are essential for optimum health however most people don't understand the importance and health benefits of the different types of fats.

As the body doesn't manufacture essential fats and they are necessary for our longevity then we must get them from the consumption of the foods we have in our diet.

Unfortunately the majority of people get their fats from the wrong sources of foods and in doing so have a detrimental affect on health and well-being.

The correct fats will help your skin to remain more supple and hydrated and as expected that will help you to get fewer wrinkles.

So what are the best supplies of essential fats?

Oily fish such as tuna, sardines, salmon and herring are high in Omega-3 fats as are soya and kidney beans. These Omega-3 fats help to transport oxygen throughout the body and assist in the healthy functioning of all aspects of the body. Be sure to check where these products are sourced from however as some of the Soya beans for instance have been genetically modified.

Almonds, pecans and walnuts all have high percentages of omega-6 and are an excellent source of essential fat as are sunflower and pumpkin seeds. These seeds are good to keep as a snack as they will help to maintain more level blood sugar levels and ward off hunger that might make you choose foods that have low nutrition value to boost energy levels.

Many people accept symptoms of ill health as something that is just a part of aging such as dry skin and eyes, poor memory, cardiovascular disease, arthritis and many more health related problems that are all associated with a lack of essential fatty acids. While we can still expect to get some of these problems with aging, getting a sufficient supply of these good fats will help to avoid or postpone them until a lot later in life.

Antioxidants

The most popular antioxidants that are used for skin care products are the vitamins A, C and E.

Scientific tests have shown that they help to improve the condition of the skin and reduce additional damage occurring that causes the aging effect that we are seeking to eliminate.

The damage to the skin is caused by free radicals and antioxidants help to fight off these free radicals and thereby improve the condition of the skin.

Antioxidants are in no way harmful to the skin and not only can they protect the skin from damage but they have been to shown to actually reverse some of the damage that has already occurred to the skin of many people.

This has an anti aging effect and the publicity that has surrounded the discovery of this information has resulted in antioxidants being included in almost all skin care products to meet the demands of the consumer.

Sun damaged skin in particular has been shown to improve in condition when antioxidants have been applied directly to the affected area.

There are various different sources of antioxidants and some of the more popular ones are grape seed extract and green tea extract.

Grape seed extract has shown to reduce inflammation of the skin and in addition it helps to strengthen the capillary walls. It is a popular inclusion in many skin care products due to these properties.

Green tea on the other hand has shown to reduce the size of pre-cancerous skin lesions in various tests due to the active ingredient catechins.

With the use of these naturally occurring antioxidants the damage that is caused to the skin by the free radicals that degrade the collagen and elastin is reduced and the positive effect that they have in assisting the skin to renew damaged cells has the desired anti aging effect that people are looking for.

HGH Research of HGH

Up to this point, the only form of human growth hormone supplementation that has been analyzed is the use of injectable HGH. With its high cost, $10,000 to $15,00 per year17, it is out of the price range for the vast majority of people. Because of the cost, many people are turning to other forms of growth hormone with hopes that they will provide the same results that many claim to experience from injectable HGH. For the most part, these various forms do nothing for the patient, primarily because they are not using true HGH. Human growth hormone is illegal to import personally; a prescription from a doctor is the only way to receive growth hormone legally in the United States. It is also not possible for an oral tablet of growth hormone to be of any benefit, because it is digested in the stomach and rendered ineffective.10 These other treatment options are not truly growth hormone, but in fact try to stimulate the various glands to produce more growth hormone. There has been very little qualified research done on these supplements, and their benefits have not been proven to live up to some companys' extravagant claims.
Human growth hormone is an extremely complex substance and its full effects are not yet completely understood. Some doctors would like to see growth hormone eliminated completely, and avoid further research. To avoid researching human growth hormone further would be a tremendous mistake. The possibilities of this hormone having an outstanding effect on humans are far too great to abandon it. It remains to be seen if an additional ingredient could boost its effectiveness safely and effectively, if the delivery methods could be improved, or if the proper dosage could be discovered. All of these questions require serious research in order to understand the full range of benefits and effects that HGH has on a person. For now, and when the full benefits and side effects are better documented, it is up to each individual to decide whether human growth hormone supplementation is something he or she is willing to take a chance on. Each person must weigh the various issues surrounding the growth hormone, and make an informed decision for themselves. Regulation of the substance may be necessary for sports competitions, but other people should have the opportunity to make a decision on their own.

The side effects of HGH human growth hormone.

To only paint a picture of growth hormone doing good things would be an injustice. The truth is, there can be many side effects with the use of human growth hormone and it can also put a person at risk for other diseases. Side effects include an increase in blood pressure, fluid retention, carpal tunnel syndrome, and joint pain. 11,13,14 The use of growth hormone has also been tied to an increase in insulin resistance which leads to diabetes. 12,16 Diabetes as a result of HGH supplementation was also reported by Dr. Rudman in his report. 11 One man used HGH successfully for a time, but eventually came down with diabetes which doctors linked to his growth hormone use. 12 A 6 month study on the effects of HGH on diabetes showed that while insulin resistance was at first increased, after 6 months of growth hormone use the testers' insulin levels returned to the levels before their growth hormone use.
The claim that human growth hormone is a cause of diabetes is surprising since two medical studies state just the opposite, that in fact IGF-1 could be a replacement for insulin. These two studies, reported in 1991 in Medical World News, had the results of these tests. Dr. Zenobi of the University of Zurich in Switzerland observed that when IGF-1 levels were increased, blood glucose, insulin, and c-peptide levels were significantly lowered. He reported that type-II diabetes may be reduced by growth hormone's use. 15 Along with Dr. Zenobi's results were those of Dr. Schalch of the University of Wisconsin . His test results demonstrated a decrease in the levels of blood glucose and insulin levels with the use of growth hormone. 15 These results appear to be entirely contradictory to each other and display the confusion there is in the growth hormone field. How can human growth hormone both cause diabetes in some, yet in medical studies be linked to its decrease? It is an area which is quite unclear. It is possible that those who have diabetes already may respond differently to the hormone's use than those who do not yet have the disease. Another possible explanation is that the differing results may be due to the amount of time taking growth hormone. In Dr. Zenobi's study, his results were measured after only 5 days of growth hormone use.
The boom of HGH use in the elderly in the past 10 years is not surprising. It is clear that many people would rather possibly cut their life short by a year but live each year to its fullest. This thought seems to come up consistently with each elderly person who uses it. Alan Mendelssohn, a senior who, along with his wife, takes growth hormone, sums it up by saying, “We want to feel as good and look as good as we can.”

HGH use in the elderly.

Although there is limited data on the use of growth hormone in athletes, there have been a significant amount of tests done on the elderly. The first scientific study on growth hormone in the elderly came out in 1990. Published by Dr. Rudman in the New England Journal of Medicine, the report showed the first findings of beneficial use of HGH in the elderly. The results of the effects of growth hormone on 12 elderly men, healthy in every way except a low level of IGF-1, were recorded. After receiving growth hormone for 6 months, the men had a 9% increase in muscle mass, a 14% decrease in fat, and a thickening of the skin.11 The most influential part of this report on growth hormone was Rudman's statement on the results of the test in which he wrote, "The effects of six months of human growth hormone on lean body mass and adipose-tissue mass were equivalent in magnitude to the changes incurred during 10 to 20 years of aging."11 Rudman was effectively claiming that human growth hormone reversed the aging process. This report and Rudman's statement effectively set off the growth hormone explosion. All types of people began to pursue the use of this hormone in order to increase performance or decrease the effects of aging.
Even with all of the evidence on the benefits of human growth hormone, the hormone is currently an extremely controversial topic. Many leading scientists denounce it as at best worthless, and at worst the cause of extreme side effects. One outspoken critic is Dr. Stephen Barrett, M.D. of Quackwatch.org. His website seeks to "combat health-related frauds, myths, fads, and fallacies."11 Dr. Barrett admits that growth hormone levels decrease with age, however, he goes on to say that, "Considering the high cost, significant side effects, and lack of proven effectiveness, HGH shots appear to be a very poor investment." It is worth mentioning that the people who have felt significant benefits from supplementing with growth hormones would strongly disagree with Dr. Barrett's statement. The results from using growth hormone are in the eyes of the user, and it is the user alone who can determine whether growth hormone is worth the investment.

Use of HGH in athletics

Aside from anecdotal evidence, some scientific studies display that HGH has little or no affect on athletes. One early study done in 1988 tested eight athletes for six weeks and showed that body fat decreased by a significant amount, however, muscle levels were not tested.5 In 1992, Kevin Yarasheski led a major study of athlete's performance done on 18 young men at the Washington University School of Medicine. Each man went through 12 weeks of resistance training.6 The muscles were measured at the end of the test, and all of the men had muscle gains.6 However, there were no differences in gained muscle size between the group who received the growth hormone, and the group who received the placebo.6 In 1995, Yarasheski headed another test on growth hormone. This time the strength of men was tested, but on a group of men averaging 67 years of age.6 The same results occurred with the older men; there were gains in muscle size and strength, but the group that actually received HGH did not have any better gains than those who did not use the hormone.6
Another study of 18 healthy men with ages ranging from 65-82 years, went through 14 weeks of weight training before receiving HGH or a placebo.7 The group that received human growth hormone saw significant increases in lean body mass, and a loss of fat.7 However, this did not translate into better performance. The two groups' overall muscle size gains were the same, as tested by using needle biopsies.7 Even though the muscular gains were the same, the significantly greater decrease in fat by the group that used HGH could be seen as a great benefit of the hormone for many people.

Use of HGH by athletes

Although the primary use of growth hormone was for short children, other people have found a use for it. Athletes began to use it to boost their performance in all types of sports. The use of HGH first came into the public's eyes in the 1988 Tour de France, where several cyclists were arrested for using the growth hormone.4 HGH is now banned from the Olympics and other major sports competitions as a result. Even without all of the research, the ban of growth hormone for the Olympics gives strong evidence that athletes are using it, and using it effectively to increase performance. One of the best examples of a performance increase due to growth hormone was a test done in 2003 on Stuart Stevens, who served as a guinea pig for tests of growth hormone and other substances to see how they would improve his performance for a long distance cycling race.2
This 8 month test of various substances improved his performance dramatically.2 Not all of the performance boost can be attributed to growth hormone, as he was taking steroids and other performance boosters. However, one significant result of his HGH use was better vision.2 He reported that his vision became perfect while using the growth hormone, and once he discontinued its use his sight returned to its previous state of nearly requiring glasses.2 Another example comes from a competition level bodybuilder in Ireland who reported that "It [HGH] was certainly more effective in building muscle than any course of steroids."3 Since growth hormone is banned from major competitions, extensive reporting of high level athletes use of the hormone is not available due to the required secrecy of its use. Finally, because growth hormone is produced naturally by the body, creating a method to detect illegal use of the substance in athletes is difficult. It is hoped that a valid solution to the problem will be ready in time for the Athens Olympics in 2004.

HGH Human Growth Hormone Research and Information

From the beginning of time man has sought a way to extend life, reverse the aging process, and live forever. Up to this point, nothing has proven to be significantly viable for this purpose. However, the greatest advance in man’s ability to “turn back the clock” may now be available to us. The human growth hormone (HGH or Somatotropin) has produced increases in the levels of insulin-like growth hormone 1 (IGF-1). There is a direct connection between the level of this hormone in a human’s body, and their age. As observed by many scientists, if this hormone could be kept at the levels of youth, then would the aging process be slowed down, or even stopped altogether? It is a question that has spawned much controversy within the ranks of physicians, with many leading doctors on both sides of the issue.
The discovery of this new hormone has resulted in many private sellers attempting to make profit from the sale of this product in various forms. HGH is administered via injection by doctors who give growth hormone to their patients. However, many sellers are now offering the hormone in pill, spray, and homeopathic forms. Although the cost of the product in these forms may only be 5% of the cost of injection treatments, the effectiveness of these others forms is questionable. The benefits of HGH are very real, but so are the side effects; It is up to the individual to determine whether the possible benefits outweigh the possible side effects.

How HGH was first used.

The human growth hormone was first used to boost the height of abnormally small children. There are currently over 400,000 small children who could meet the requirements for administration of HGH to boost their height as adults.1 Eli Lilly of Eli Lilly Co., the creator of Humatrope, a FDA approved human growth hormone treatment which will make human growth hormone available to many more short children, performed a double blind study on the effectiveness of the hormone. The results showed that 1.5 to 3 inches could safely be added to a child's final adult height by using this hormone.1 The time frame for this growth is widely accepted as two inches per year for a child who has not reached puberty.1 It is clear that injecting human growth hormone into children with stunted growth can boost their height, and it is widely accepted as a beneficial treatment for children with stunted growth.

HGH, produced by the pituitary gland, controls muscle and bone growth and lowers the amount of fat in the body
The major role of HGH is to stimulate the liver and other tissues to secrete IGF-I. IGF-I stimulates the proliferation of chondrocytes (cartilage cells), resulting in bone growth. IGF-I also appears to be the key player in muscle growth. It stimulates both the differentiation and proliferation of myoblasts. It also stimulates amino acid uptake and protein synthesis in muscle and other tissues.
In addition, HGH has important consequences for protein, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. In some cases, a direct effect of growth hormone has been clearly demonstrated, in others, IGF-I is thought to be the critical mediator, and in some cases it appears that both direct and indirect effects are at play.
Growth hormone production is modulated by many factors, including stress, exercise, nutrition, sleep and growth hormone itself. However, its primary controllers are two hypothalamic hormones and one hormone from the stomach.
HGH levels dramatically decline with age. By the age of 60 most people will have approximately 80% less growth hormone in their system than when they were 20. Signs of GH reduction include increased body fat, increased anxiety, social isolation, poor general health, and lack of positive well being.
In 1988 Dr. Daniel Rudman discovered that when HGH was administered to his elderly patients, within several weeks they all noticed significant improvement. The benefits included a general feeling of enhanced well being, a reduction in feelings of depression, a decline in fat cells, an increase in lean muscle mass and, after a few months, increased skin thickness and elasticity.
Another important benefit from growth hormone replacement is strengthening of the immune system. Infections decrease, recovery from illness is aided, allergies improve and immune related diseases such as arthritis become less bothersome. The immune system is an important defense against cancer and it seems logical that cancer might, to some extent, be prevented by growth hormone. Although it has been speculated that growth hormone might speed the growth of cancer, that has not been seen in clinical practice. In fact, improved immunity might logically be expected to reduce the risk of malignancy and speed healing from a treated cancer.

In 1988 Dr. Daniel Rudman discovered that when HGH was administered to his elderly patients, within several weeks they all noticed significant improvement. The benefits included a general feeling of enhanced well being, a reduction in feelings of depression, a decline in fat cells, an increase in lean muscle mass and, after a few months, increased skin thickness and elasticity.

Another important benefit from growth hormone replacement is strengthening of the immune system. Infections decrease, recovery from illness is aided, allergies improve and immune related diseases such as arthritis become less bothersome. The immune system is an important defense against cancer and it seems logical that cancer might, to some extent, be prevented by growth hormone. Although it has been speculated that growth hormone might speed the growth of cancer, that has not been seen in clinical practice. In fact, improved immunity might logically be expected to reduce the risk of malignancy and speed healing from a treated cancer.

Dosage:
Your physician's guidance and blood monitoring is essential on a program of HGH, and as usual amounts of this hormone are highest in our early twenties and decline rapidly as we age. Physicians administering HGH for preventative/ anti-aging purposes utilize in the region of 0.01mg to 0.02mg of HGH per kg of body weight (2.2 lbs) per week. This is injected subcutaneously (just under the skin) divided into 3 to 5 injections per week. It is important to ensure that blood levels of HGH are monitored before and during the program and that a full check-up by an Anti-Aging Physician is performed before the course of HGH injections begin. If you need to find an Anti-Aging Physician in your area, we will be pleased to help. Human growth hormone supplements decline in frequency and sometimes stop for a period once the patient has reached a IGF1 blood plasma test equivalent to that of a 21 to 31 year old, again physicians differ on the line, some advocate early twenties, others early thirties measures.

Side effects:
Hypoglycemia (low blood sugar level) and inadequate thyroid function.

Wrinkle Creams For Anti-Aging

If you talk about anti aging which is a continuous process, then I must say that prevention is much better than cure. If you feel you are looking older than last year, it shows that your efforts to hide your age are futile. All you need are some serious efforts with an antiaging cream to help you.

First of all, you should keep away from harmful collagen-based anti aging wrinkle creams. You need to safeguard yourself against marketing hype which is a modern trend in advertising agencies. Don’t rely on fabricated advertisements that show different skin states before and after the treatment with an anti aging skin cream. No miracle can ever happen with these low-quality anti aging anti wrinkle creams.

Companies use words like collagen and elastin in their ads to give an impression that these anti aging face creams are certainly beneficial in decreasing wrinkles of the face. Levels of elastin and collagen decreases as age wears on and since these anti aging skin creams promise to offer the two chemicals, many people buy and apply these creams without even consulting a physician.

These things might ask you to put your thinking cap on! Collagen molecules are too large for your skin to absorb. The first layer of the skin is impermeable for collagen to enter. Therefore, it cannot make it to the lower epithelial. Just consult your dermatologist and follow his advices. In my opinion, these anti aging creams have nothing to offer and they won’t cure your wrinkles.

The Facts Behind Botox

With all the hype over people getting Botox injections for everything, one has to wonder just what it is that Botox does and how exactly does it work? People seem to resort to this as a solution to their age dilemma. Some people swear by it while others make fun of the effects it has on your face. People say that when you undergo such procedure, you won’t be able to emote feelings of happiness and anger as well as you once did. To understand exactly what Botox is and what it does, we first have to know just how this amazing miracle of science came to be.

Botulinum toxin is where Botox basically comes from. Its original purpose was to treat neurological disorders. It was only in 1989 that the procedure was finally approved by the FDA to treat eye muscle disorders and yes, even wrinkles. In 2000, it was once again approved to treat cervical dystonia. In layman’s terms, the disease causes severe neck and shoulder contractions. It was during one of their research studies that doctors discovered how Botox softened the frown lines between the eyebrows. It was after this discovery that Botox officially came into existence. As of today, it has now become the fastest growing division in the cosmetic industry.

To start with, when Botox is injected into the muscles of the forehead, it blocks nerve impulses. As a result, the muscles that cause frowning weaken. Eventually, if you are given enough of these injections, your frown lines can start to get softer. In many cases, these lines can eventually disappear. Botox is not limited to the wrinkles and lines on the forehead. This can also be used on the other parts of the face that are ridden with crow’s feet and deep lines.

How does it exactly work? Every time you use your facial muscles, wrinkles can happen. The underlying contractions of facial muscles eventually leave a mark on your face. When these creases become permanent, skin cream or moisturizer may not be enough. That's where Botox comes in. After being injected into the affected area, it temporarily paralyzes these muscles so that you can't make a variety of facial expressions. That's why people who have had these injections literally look like mannequins. The results of Botox injections become fully visible after three days. The effects may last as long as four to five months and with time, the muscle activity changes, thus reducing the effects of Botox.

It may come as no surprise that Botox is not cheap at all. The average cost of just one injection in the United States is about $350 or so. This also depends on the area of your face and the degree of aging. The area near the eyes is naturally more expensive, costing between $400 and $900 per injection. For large surface areas such as the forehead, it can cost as much as $1,300.

There could be serious issues as well. Botox has botulism, which is a food poisoning toxin. When it spreads to your system, you can put your health at risk. However, if you not allergic to any of its ingredients, you might not suffer at all. This is the modern fountain of youth and this is the potion that will make you look younger.

Staying Young with Water

As you age, you will also notice that your skin becomes dry. Though you will no longer have to worry about pimples and oily skin, you should also know that you need to keep your skin hydrated. Drinking plenty of water is the secret to staying young. In fact, most doctors recommend that you drink at least eight to ten glasses a day. Putting moisturizer only repairs skin from the outside. If you want great skin at a cellular level, water is your best bet because it greatly helps in slowing down the signs of aging.

Water makes up for 70% of our body. In turn, it can be found within our largest organ, which is our skin. If we don’t think about our health and diet, we will end up with dry skin, one that looks like old leather. Drinking other forms of liquid is just not enough. In fact, some of them may just have too much sugar in them. Not only will we gain weight, we are also increasing our chances of getting different forms of ailments.

So, how can water help us stay and look young? First and foremost, water cleanses our body by taking out all unwanted toxins. It promotes the efficiency of blood circulation so that we can remove waste efficiently. Just like certain bodies of water, those that are stagnant have more bacteria present in them. As long as we regularly drink several glasses of it each day, our bodies are able to swill out waste and circulate the necessary nutrients all over our system. Our cells will be kept in good state when the minerals are frequently replenished.

As we grow older, if we are not able to flush out all the generated wastes, we allow these impurities to pile up within us. For our body to properly operate, we have to consume the variety of nutrients inside our cells. Food is basically made up of these four elements: oxygen, hydrogen, carbon, and nitrogen.

As our body circulates the things we take in during digestion, the nutrients are oxidized in the cellular level. After this, they will all turn into organic acids: fatty acids, ammonia, uric acids, and the like. Only through sweating and urinating are we able to clean our bodies from the different forms of garbage. Water helps us clean them out.

Constant drinking is one of the most helpful and trouble-free ways to flush away toxins and thus, delay the process of aging. Alkaline water, in particular, penetrates deeper than ordinary water. When you want to remain youthful looking, always remember that without the proper liquid diet, all the vitamins and moisturizers will be useless. Yes, our skin may absorb them, and we will a momentary relief because our skin will feel softer and look smoother. However, this is only a temporary solution. When everything wears off, we will look just as haggard as we originally were. The most important thing to know is that we need to also worry about how we are from the inside. If we are vigilant about the number of glasses we take each day, we will definitely notice a vast and more permanent improvement on our skin.

Staying Young

We all have to grow up and grow old. As we age, we’ll notice creases on our faces and feel pains that we never felt when we were younger. If only we could freeze time and stay youthful forever. However, if there is one thing certain in life, it’s the fact that we all eventually age. Some people deal with it through cosmetic surgery, while others hide their real age.

What you do about growing old is really up to you, but there are some things we can do to maintain health so that we will always feel like a teenager, sans the cosmetic surgery. Here a few tricks you might want to use:

1. Attitude plays a key role when you want to feel young. You can’t expect to look young if you don’t believe that you can. You just have to know that if you take care of yourself well enough, you could be just as active as you were years before.

2. Take care of your body by exercising regularly. Working out keeps your muscles in tip-top shape, thus lessening strains and aches when you overexert yourself.

3. Watch what you eat and make sure that you take in a lot of nutrients and vitamins. Food plays a big role in your health, and when you are often sick, you can age faster.

4. Enjoy life and make every moment count. Never dwell on your fears. Life is too short, and when you know that you’ve lived it to the fullest, you will never have regrets in the end.

5. Try to avoid stressful situations. Stress brings the body down. When you are often depressed, the lines of worry eventually show in your face.

6. Learn the value of sense of humor. People who don’t take life too seriously will not go through their daily routines worried about even the most trivial of matters.

7. Take lots of fluid to let moisture stay in your body. Sweat acts as natural moisturizer and this can visibly lessen lines and wrinkles.

Sometimes, we have to motivate ourselves to stay young. If you find this too difficult, you need to take time to think about all your wonderful blessings. You’ll be surprised at just how much you have when you look into yourself and the life you’ve lived. It’s always good to be optimistic so that we can also look forward to what the future holds for us.

Set for yourself a series of goals that you need to accomplish. Look at this list and make wise decisions. Let your past mistakes be lessons learned. If you do this, then staying young at heart will not be as difficult. In fact, it might be even easier than you think.

Most importantly, you should always be happy. Life is a constant surprise; learn to welcome each with open arms. Your brain will be your most powerful ally as you grow older. As long as you believe in yourself and your abilities, you can do most anything you want. Though you may never be able to stop time, you can always lead your body to believe that it can win over it.

Popular Makeovers for Mothers

Motherhood is beautiful. Women dream about starting their own family and raising beautiful children. And as beautiful as this dream is, giving birth takes its toll on the body. The flat stomach that was once the envy of your friends is now gone. In its place are stretch marks and flabby skin. There are also the constant bags under the eyes that indicate busy days and sleepless nights. Women nowadays have to create a balance between their work and their duties at home. That is why there are makeovers for mothers.

Maintaining Your Body Even as You Age

As you grow older, you will notice changes in your mind and body. At this time, you are reminded to take charge and keep yourself active and in shape. Getting older is inevitable. It is something out of your control or else your body starts to lose the nutrients it requires. With age, your body loses the vitamins it needs to stay strong. Taking daily supplements is a good idea but you also need exercise to supplement your efforts.

Daily activities play a tremendous role because you will have the tendency to slow down. The slowness causes the bones to stiffen, thus the other parts will slow down as well. Try to keep the ability to function through a healthy regimen. Your exercise program can be done with a group to make it more fun. You will enjoy doing it with others so that you don’t eventually get lazy. The importance of exercise will help you lose weight and tone up.

When starting a new exercise program, you need to take it slow so you don’t overexert your muscles. The muscles will be tight, so you should really watch your pace. Always begin and end exercises with stretching. It takes time to see the full effects, but with enough patience, you will enjoy the benefits. Of course you should first consult a doctor before you get into anything strenuous. Your diet too plays a vital role in maintaining your body. Excess weight can cause many things to go wrong with your system.

Diabetes is the frontrunner when it comes to paying the price with excess weight and with overeating. Be sure to get the right amount of carbohydrates, fats, and, protein in your daily fare. Staying fit is the key to preventing problems. You want to keep those muscles flexible because these protect the bones. Moreover, when you exercise, you will be able to reach your ideal weight.

Facts show that as you start to age, your body fat increases to even more than 30%. That big amount can put a strain on your muscles, joints, and bones. When you lug around this much weight, you are bound to experience problems as a result. Contrary to what people believe, you do not automatically enter into a downward spiral of performance and appearance. Yes, physical degeneration accelerates when you have a negative outlook.

You have control over your aging process. You just need to work on it so that you are able to dramatically slow down your ticking clock. When you don’t care about appearance, you will lose muscle and gain fat. The loss weakens all body systems and organs along with the immune system, making you more susceptible to life threatening diseases. And if left unattended, muscle tissue loss accelerates when you go past the age of 50, leaving in its wake weakness and disability.

The thing is, it doesn't have to be like that at all. A proper exercise program with strength training is not some frivolous pastime. This is a form of preventative medicine that makes you enjoy your health for as long as you can. Your body was meant to move, and if you work on what were you were always meant to do, you can have a body that runs like a well-oiled machine. Your general health is your own responsibility, and it's time to take that first step on your own path to being the best you.

Dont Let Age Get in the Way of Flatter Abs

Unlike men, women have unique life reasons that can interfere with exercise. Among the reasons are birth of a child, marriage, single parenthood, new job, divorce, job stress, and so much more. Time is a big factor here as well. After a day of work and childcare, most women prefer to spend their free time with family and friends, relaxing, and taking a breather. Although this in no way claims that men get the better deal in life, research has shown that women tend to have a harder time managing to exercise on a regular basis.

Women benefit greatly from exercise. When done regularly, they lower their estrogen levels, reduce body fat, and produce a healthier body mass index. When all these factors are combined, women can significantly reduce their risk of breast cancer and other weight-related diseases.

As women age and go through the process of child-rearing, their bodies pay the price. Their bellies bulge more and their arms get flabbier. Pregnancy, as beautiful as it is, makes a great impact on the woman’s physicality. As they age, they may want to get the pre-pregnancy body that they once enjoyed. They work on their abs and tirelessly do stomach crunches during their free time. However, squeezing in some me-time may not be as easy as it sounds. Thus, they forget their resolution.

There are many mistaken beliefs and delusions when it comes to the idea of achieving flat abs. Many associate an exercise for a flat stomach to sit ups and crunches. Although these two are great belly busters, these will not be as effective if you don’t shed and lose some excess body weight beforehand. You simply have to lose weight primarily before you can actually tone your muscle area. What you need to do is to find an exercise that can help flatten your stomach and at the same time help you lose weight. The best way to reduce your belly fat is to engage in either walking or jogging. As you walk briskly, you burn calories and fats.

Exercise to get a flat stomach through aerobic workouts at least three times a week. As your children start going to school, you may find that making time gets easier if you also set your mind to it. It will also help you boost your metabolism. With just 20 minutes a day, your goal can be achieved in no time.

When starting an exercise program, it is important to remember these very basic principles:

1. Make sure that you follow the movements precisely or you will just end up working on the group of muscles. Get pictures if you must and ask help from a reliable source.

2. Perform all exercises in a controlled manner.

3. Make sure to do the right breathing. Never hold your breath and remember to inhale as you lower a weight or relax and exhale as you raise a weight or exert. In an abdominal crunch, inhale when coming down and exhale while raising your head and shoulders.

4. Don't do too much too soon. Moderate-intensity activity is going to make you breathe harder, make your heart beat faster, and likely make you sweat more.

5. Do your routine regularly. Divide your time and you will see that when you add it up, you get what you want without trying too hard.
