Topical Vitamin C is one of the most recent developments in the world of medical science, as an aid for skin protection. Vitamin C, when manufactured into a Topical formation, becomes an excellent antidote against photoaging of the skin. The currently available products contain very low levels of antioxidants, which are not well absorbed by the skin.

Inventors are especially excited about the protective qualities and anti-inflammatory effects of this vitamin. Once applied, it is absorbed in the skin and cannot be washed or sweated off. Research studies have shown that Topical Vitamin C provides wavelength-independent ultraviolet protection, which is much more effective than any other skin care products. When exposed to sunlight, Topical Vitamin C products prevent sunburn damage without blocking vitamin D synthesis, unlike other sunscreen products in the market. It might also stimulate melanin production without causing harm to neighboring cells.

Topical Vitamin C has a tendency to degrade rapidly, and hence must be stored in airtight, light-resistant containers. Some of the side effects include stinging and skin irritation. Research studies have shown that regular application of Topical Vitamin C results in clinically visible anti-wrinkling. When used along with such vitamins as C and E, it provides utmost protection against the exogenous oxidative stressors encountered in daily life.

Adequate levels of Topical Vitamin C can be achieved from substantial intakes of fruit, vegetables and juices daily. A correctly formulated Topical Vitamin C is very difficult to manufacture. This is due to the instable nature of L-ascorbic acid, the key ingredient of Vitamin C. Moreover, the cheaper variations of the products are not absorbed properly by the skin. Researchers are constantly trying to find a more stable version of the product. In order to get an authentic version of a Topical Vitamin C product, it is always advisable to consult a doctor, pharmacist or dermatologist.

Vitamin C provides detailed information about vitamin C, benefits of vitamin C, topical vitamin C, vitamin C creams and more. Vitamin C is the sister site of Frequent Sinus Infections.

The Connection Between Brain Inflammation, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Disease

The evidence is overwhelming that sustained inflammation is the driving force of many degenerative diseases. Chronic inflammation is centrally implicated in heart disease, cancer and chronic viral conditioning such as Alzheimer’s.

Nowhere is damage more telling than chronic inflammation in the brain. Parkinson’s disease is inflammation burning away zones in the brain. Alzheimer’s involves many breakdown processes with inflammation at the forefront of these failed neurological processes.

What then, is an effective program to control brain inflammation? Antioxidants like Vitamin C can block free radicals that often stoke inflammation. Vitamin C and E also have had some success against dementia in clinical trials further substantiating their anti-inflammatory properties. Acetyl-L-Carnitine helps the brain cells make the energy they need for repair and renewal while Ginkgo Biloba combined with Phospholipids will also enhance antioxidant action.

Cognizin Combats Mental Deterioration

Alpha GPC is a proven nutrient for individuals with mental deterioration related to poor circulation of which inflammation is a major factor. An exciting new ingredient Cognizin has proved to be extremely effective in combating brain deterioration. To read more on the clinical results of Cognizin follow this link: http://www.cognizin.com/studies.html

Neurovar with Cognizin Improves Your Mental Focus Factor

Bill, a 55 year old VP of sales at a leading lighting manufacturer, used a product called Neurovar for 12 weeks. Neurovar contains Vitamin C, Cognizin, Ginkgo Biloba, Acetyl-L-Carnitine, Alpha GPC and other support nutrients. Bill states “I have more focus and seem to be more mentally sharp. At first I thought it was a placebo effect but over time I realized this product really works. I will continue using this product for its performance and protective properties.”

If you are looking for something preventative or something to improve mental performance and while easing inflammation, a quality supplement like Neurovar is the educated answer. Taking anti-oxidants can be a benefit to overall brain health but a more complete formula with multiple quality ingredients is recommended here. If products like Neurovar are too costly do the next best thing and use some of the less expensive anti-oxidants. This option will provide some protective properties for the brain.

You go back to the old eating habits.

You say diet pills don’t work.

Many of us face similar experiences while trying out various diet methods to overcome Obesity. And don’t we always blame it on the diet pills. Why?

Most diet pills are appetite suppressants which trick our body to believe that it is full. And diet pills disallow the fat that we take in to get settled in our body. Initial weight loss is obvious. See yourself trimming down in the next 8 to 12 weeks. Diet pills do help to control obesity and shed off the extra pounds which you are uncomfortable with. If followed properly with a medical practitioner’s advice, you can expect amazing results. But diet pills alone don’t help. You need to devote ample time for some light exercises and also there are a lot of changes to make in your diet. But you will get accustomed to it soon. With the combination of a safe and effective diet pill, good exercise and healthy food intake, you will lose lots of pounds from the body.

Taking diet pills! Take note

• Diet pills are suited for those who have a BMI index of 30 or more

• Take diet pills as your doctor prescribes

• All diet pills have minor side effects

• Try and take it at a particular time everyday

• Don’t overdose

Diet pills and weight gain

Weight loss pills are generally prescribed for 8 to 12 weeks. The doctor recommends diet pill stoppage after this period and advices the patient to follow a healthy lifestyle with low calorie diet habits. This is what doesn’t happen. You still cannot control the craving for food. Eating all what you missed out makes you fat again and it’s a depressing fight once more to shed the extra pounds that you have managed to gain.

Manage yourself well after stopping diet pills

• When you are taking diet pills, don’t miss out on your favorite foods completely. Take it in moderation

• Ask yourself what’s important, your health or your unhealthy diet

• Don’t stop exercising after stopping diet pills

• Check your weight regularly

There is no argument among anyone in the field of health and nutrition about the fact that we need protein in our diet. Controversy comes when we talk about the quantity, and source, of our protein intake.

As a Christian teacher of health by design I must tell you what I am convinced is the absolute truth on the subject. The truth must be known. The facts need to be understood. There is great risk in following the propaganda abundant through the media.

We need protein as we grow to create new cells, and to repair or replace cells throughout life. However it is proven beyond any doubt that too much protein is a root cause of disease. So we need to discover how much is a bare minimum and how much is too much. To date there is no reliable research that nails this down to an exact science.

Our protein needs, on a percentage of intake basis, are highest when we are growing the fastest. This fact is a “no-brainer”. It is well established that mother’s milk is the ideal food for baby. No other food is needed for the first year. Logic would tell you that if we looked at the percentage of protein in mother’s milk at various stages of growth it would give us a clue as to our real needs.

Mother’s milk during the first week contains 2.38% protein. A lot is happening in the human baby’s body that first week. It only makes sense that it would require a lot of protein, with cells growing at a rapid rate.

During the next month, the percentage of protein’s in mother milk drops to about 1.79% Though the child is still growing it is not growing as fast and does not need as much protein.

Well before the third month, the protein level in mother’s milk is down to 1.49%. This level of protein will maintain continuous growth without any supplements.

By six months the protein level of mother milk is down to 1.07% By this time most babies are getting some kind of supplemental feeding. However, if left on mother milk only, they will maintain healthy growth without additional supplementation.

Why should adults who are not growing need more protein than a fast growing infant? It should be noted that this level of protein in mother’s milk can easily be exceeded with vegetables and fruits.

Before we move on let us look at some animals familiar to us all. The following table was taken from the course in nutritional science by TC. Fry.

Days for Newborn to Double its Weight and
Average Protein Percentage In Mother’s Milk

Human____180____1.6
Horse______60____2
Calf________47____3.5
Kid_________19____4.3
Pig_________18____5.9
Lamb_______10____6.5
Dog_________8____7.1
Cat_________7____9.5

From this table it is easy to see that the designed speed of growth affects the need for protein. It is important to note that increasing the protein level of mother’s milk will not produce a more rapid growth.

However it has been proven that drinking milk with higher protein levels can cause much harm to an infant. Most of the problems experienced by children can be traced back to the consumption of deranged protein in cow’s milk. Raw cow milk has far less harmful side effect when compared to pasteurized milk. But the point is, that cow milk was designed for a calf, that will double its weight 3 times faster than a human baby.

After we stop growing at approximately 18-22 years of age, our only protein need is for repair of damaged cells and replacement of old cells. This is determined primarily by our lifestyle, toxins consumed, and injuries sustained. Our primary need is for fuel. We don’t use protein for fuel.

It is very difficult for our bodies to obtain fuel from the protein in animal products. The process of obtaining energy from protein sources takes more energy than you can obtain from the meat or other products obtained from an animal. The result is a net loss of energy. That is why people on the Atkins diet will loose weight, especially if they eat lean meats. They are getting too much protein and not enough other nutrients. This is also why after a large meal of animal products you feel tired and want to rest.

So, how much protein do we really need?

Much of the controversy stems from research done in the late 1800’s when researchers decided that we needed between 100 and 125 grams of protein per day. One of the researchers did experiments on dogs and determined that they needed about 125 grams of protein per day. However he did not take into account the fact that dogs need 5 times as much protein as humans on a percentage basis.

Other experiments, years later, in Germany, showed that 30 – 40 grams per day was more than enough. However the original studies were well accepted by then and it is hard to get people to let go of false theories. So the establishment set the amount at 60 – 70 grams per day. Today with the support of the meat, dairy, and egg industries the recommendations remain at these high levels.

A study of people groups that have a high level of health, and low incidence of disease, eating primarily plant foods with only small amounts of fish, shows that an average of about 37 grams is sufficient to perform hard physical labor.
There are other studies of people groups from some pacific islands, who consume only about 15 grams of protein per day, and live, in excellent health.

There are many fruitarian and vegetarian people groups who eat raw fruits, vegetables, with some nuts and seeds, which show no signs of protein deficiency, or deficiency of any other nutrient, on a diet of between 15 and 30 grams of protein per day.

It is obvious that a this diet is adequate to meet our protein needs. All fruits and vegetables have some protein in the form that we need to consume it in. If you eat an amount of fruit or vegetables sufficient to obtain your energy needs you receive far more protein than you need.

On the other hand it has been proven by researchers like Colin Campbell that too much protein especially from animal products is the primary cause of disease.

We Americans and all others on a western style diet need to get over our preoccupation with high protein diets. A high protein diet is only good for those selling the products, and those trying with futile efforts, to pick up the pieces, of the devastation caused by the high protein levels consumed by people who think they are doing their bodies good.

The sad truth is that we cause our own disease by eating too much protein from the wrong sources. Just because you like the taste of your favorite animal products does not mean that it is good for you, or that it will build a strong, healthy, and contented you.

It is recommended by the U.S. Department of Agriculture that we consume between 5 and 9 servings of fruits and vegetables per day. It is typically very difficult for the average person to fulfill those recommendations, either because of an aversion to fruits and vegetables or poor food choices in general. By drinking fresh fruit juices, though, you can fill your daily requirements quicker, even all at once!

Drinking your fruits can help you to meet your daily requirements and get all of the beneficial nutrients out of the food. Squeezing your fruit is the efficient way to insure you are getting the vitamins and minerals from the fruit. Besides the health benefits, it is quick, and it is convenient!

While eating the whole fruit is generally considered the ideal way to consume it, squeezing it can have just as many benefits. For example, if you are not much of a fruit or vegetable eater, it might be easier to incorporate those foods into your diet by drinking them. You will still meet the recommended daily requirement of 5-9 fruits or vegetables per day, and you can meet that requirement faster.

You might think that you will lose a lot of nutrients by squeezing only the fruit juice and drinking it, as opposed to eating the whole fruit. The truth is, fruit juice contains nearly as much of the vital fiber as the whole fruit, and all of the vitamins come along in the juice!

When you freshly squeeze juice, you have a whole world of options open to you. In addition to the many fruits and vegetables out there that can be squeezed and sipped on their own, there are countless combinations that can be made to create delicious and nutritious cocktails and smoothies. It doesn’t have to be as tedious as simply peeling a banana and eating it anymore!

When it comes to fruit juices, freshly squeezed juices are definitely the best nutritionally. When fruit juices are bottled or packaged, they are often heated or pasteurized in order to kill germs. In this process, many of the vital enzymes of the fruits are lost as well, which eliminates the nutrients you need.

Making your own fruit juices and cocktails is easy. You can buy one of the many juicers available on the market, or you can just use a blender to create a multitude of healthy and delicious juice drinks for your and your family. They will taste great, and your picky kids won’t even know that they are getting something that’s good for them!

What does the world’s major health organization say about health?

According to the World Health Organization, health has little to do with how you feel and a lot to do with “the state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.”

According to Webster’s Dictionary, health has to do with how well the cells, organs, glands, and tissues function at any given time. Can you tell how well you and your body parts are functioning on the inside by how you feel at any given moment?

Not necessarily. The truth is, often you can not tell for sure whether you are healthy or not.

What’s an example of how you can feel perfectly fine, but you are, in fact, not healthy at all?

Cancer.

How many people are diagnosed with cancer, which could have been growing and spreading for ten years, or even longer, but they have no pain or warning signs at all?

How many people get a clean bill of health from their well-intended doctors, who use the best diagnostic tests, and only weeks or months later, drop dead of a sudden heart attack; and their first symptomdeath? How many people feel great one moment and are struck down by a paralyzing stroke the next? How many people have diabetes for many years before it is detected by themselves or by a doctor?

The point is: Just because you feel “fine” does not mean that you are “fine” on the inside.

Furthermore, just because you get a clean bill of health from the best doctor using the best tests, doesn’t mean that you are “fine” or working well on the inside. Take my friend who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer. She ate well, in her opinion. She exercised regularly. She had a positive, upbeat attitude. She had lots of energy. She worked full-time. She never felt better. She conscientiously received her annual physical, including a mammogram, every year for years.

One year ago, her doctor even told her that her blood work showed that she was the healthiest person he had ever examined. And then, bam! After her last physical, she was told that she had breast cancer, and a very invasive kind. Although she felt great and previous tests looked great, she had cancer growing inside of her for many, many years before it was detectable. Her world was tipped upside down from a world filled with high activity, fun, and purpose, to one filled with surgery, radiation, chemotherapy, pain, and fear.

Her comment to me was, “I just never thought it would happen to me.” Nor does anyone else, but statistics prove otherwise.

Furthermore, even if you are truly “fine” on the inside today, if you ignore and neglect your body and health day after day, you will not stay “fine” indefinitely.

So if you can’t judge your health by how you feel at any given moment, by a yearly physical, or the most sophisticated tests, then how do you know if you are healthy or not?

That’s the point. You really can’t tell how well your body is working on the inside. That is why you must work on your body, health, and fitness every day by feeding it with the best food and nutrition from whole, fresh fruits and vegetables, whole grains, raw nuts, and whole legumes, exercising it every day, not smoking, avoiding drugs, chemicals and toxins, adequate sleep and rest, and a positive attitude.

Don’t most of us know what we should eat and do to provide us with health insurance and assurance? The tricky part is incorporating your health knowledge into your daily life.

However, the best gift in lifeyour life itselfis worth all of your efforts.

And the best time to start on your own personal journey to optimum health and fitness is right now. Just put one foot in front of the other and start taking those baby steps to the best you and to the active, joyful, and purposeful life that you deserve.

Out of the 400 species of the Aloe family, Aloe Vera (meaning True Aloe) has been used for thousands of years and is still present in varieties of medicines today. It is used predominantly as an herbal remedy for the skin, digestion, the reproductive system and detox. A gel or pulp can be extracted from the plants for many benefits, both externally and internally.

It is most commonly used to treat skin conditions by soothing the skin and easing pain and inflammation. It can even speed up the healing process of burns, eczema and other conditions. The plant’s gel can be rubbed to reduce redness after a couple of days. Rubbing the leaf over cuts in the skin can prevent infection and speed up the healing process by acting like a bandage. Because of its healing and moisturising benefits to the skin, it has been adopted by cosmetic companies and added in many products.

The juice of Aloe Vera can be extracted by cutting the leaf, collecting the juice and then evaporating it. The juice has many benefits when drunk. This is partially due to the fact that it contains twelve vitamins (including A, B1, B6, B12, C and E), nineteen amino acids and over 20 minerals, which most of these are essential to the body. In Ayurveda, the Indian health practice, Aloe Vera is known as Kumari (‘the princess’) because of its positive effect on the menstrual cycle and female reproductive system. It is also known for its ability to clean the liver and protect the digestive system by reducing intestinal inflammation.

Overall, Aloe Vera can be used for cosmetics and healing the skin, or when consumed, as a potent cleansing and rejuvenating tonic that is very nutrient rich and beneficial to the body. You can buy Aloe Vera juice at my store, http://www.vigovitamins.com . It is made only from the unfiltered inner gel of the whole plant, not the outer rind, which means less processing and more active ingredients are retained.

The dictionary defines a calorie as a unit of heat energy. It is also defined as a unit of energy-producing potential equal to the amount of heat that is contained in food and released upon oxidation by the body. When making the distinction between a chemistry calorie and a food calorie, we must clarify the difference in quantity. The food calorie is equal to 1000 chemistry calories.

Now that we have addressed the mathematical and chemical analogy of calorie, let’s look at what the calorie means to you, a food consumer. A calorie is the way we measure the energy potential of food. It is also the way we determine if we are overeating and consuming too much potential energy for our bodily functions. If we consume too much energy, our body stores it for future use. This makes us become obese. If we don’t consume enough for our daily use, we can become anorexic.

In order to maintain optimal health, and our optimal body weight, a calorie requirement that is specific to our unique needs must be obtained. Once we are aware of what our calorie needs are we can tailor our diet to fit those needs

One of the most difficult situations to overcome is that of the need to diet. Once we have determined our calorie requirements, if we also need to diet and lose body weight, we are faced with cutting our calorie intake. Having been slightly overweight most of my adult life, I can tell you this is a difficult struggle. Combining the need for fewer calories, and the increased need for exercise, is often a daunting task for an individual. It is also a very difficult one to maintain.

There are products on the market today that make calorie counting easier than ever, and there are diet plans that make substitution of diet foods easier than ever. What they have not invented is a way to boost will power, which would make the struggle easier than ever. Those products are worn on some part of the body, and tabulate for us what our calorie expenditure is during the day. What we need is to take this one step further, and have an instrument that can also calculate our calorie intake and leave us with our available consumption balance. If you overeat, there could be a warning sound from the calorie counter. If the sound is quite embarrassing, you wouldn’t have to worry about overeaters!

The road to good health is not an easy one for most. It should be one of the easiest things we have to do, since good health is something we should have spent a lifetime incorporating into our daily routine. But what we find most of the time, is that we make very little time for our health, and even less time for our understanding of the calorie and its effect upon our body. When we do take notice of the bugle around the waist, we want the quick fix for the problem, diet and exercise are to difficult and take too long. But they are the only alternatives that work.

So as you go about your day, think about the calorie. Think about what it means to your waistline and your health. Proper understanding, consumption levels, and a maintenance plan make for a healthy, high quality life.
