Written by Dr. Edward F. Group III, DC, Ph.D, ND, DACBN


Wrinkles are quite literally a sign ofrepparttar times. They are caused by both genetic and environmental factors such as sunlight, make up, chemical ridden cosmetics, cigarette smoke, and other pollutants. But regardless of their cause, many women find their laugh lines to be no laughing matter. So what can we do to prevent and stallrepparttar 135039 skin damage that causes wrinkles, laugh lines, age spots, and other bothersome blemishes?

How Can I Prevent Wrinkles? The best way to prevent wrinkles is to follow a regular skin care routine, and to adamantly protect your face fromrepparttar 135040 detrimental effects ofrepparttar 135041 sun. You need to cleanse your skin on a daily basis to removerepparttar 135042 perspiration, debris, and pollutants that can buildup and damage your pores. And use a natural sunscreen (with a minimum SPF 15) to shield your face fromrepparttar 135043 sun’s damaging ultraviolet rays. Also, avoid smoking, alcohol, and caffeinated beverages that dehydraterepparttar 135044 skin. Drink plenty of purified water to keep your skin supple, hydrated and healthy.

When Should I Start Using Anti-Wrinkle Creams? You can start using anti-wrinkle creams before you even see a wrinkle appear. Eye creams in particular are effective at supportingrepparttar 135045 delicate area aroundrepparttar 135046 eyes and preventing or stallingrepparttar 135047 development of wrinkles. Many women (and men) start using anti wrinkle creams in their thirties. The skin’s natural levels of collagen diminish with age and anti-wrinkle creams may offer a suitable replacement. These creams may be too heavy for younger, thicker skin, so you’ll have to determine whether or not they’re right for your skin type. I recommend using all-natural products, organically certified if possible.

How Can I Diminish Wrinkles? There are numerous products and techniques available today to help you diminishrepparttar 135048 appearance of wrinkles. Herbal creams and vitamin supplements can be used to reducerepparttar 135049 effects of aging onrepparttar 135050 skin. You must choose which product or method is best for you based onrepparttar 135051 number and severity of your wrinkles andrepparttar 135052 level at which they bother you.

Fast Weight Loss

Here's a look at some ofrepparttar most common diets people are using. I personally do not recommend or endorse any ofrepparttar 135018 following diet plans. I recommendrepparttar 135019 “Bio-Rhythm Diet Plan” outlined inrepparttar 135020 “Weight Loss Secrets Revealed” E-book at http://www.weightlossobesity.com website.

The Atkins Diet The Atkins diet is based on high protein, low-carbohydrate fare. It allows all ofrepparttar 135021 meat and vegetables you want with no restrictions on fats. Fruits are kept to a minimum. Bread, pasta, and other grain products are restricted. Many people have had weight loss success onrepparttar 135022 Atkins’ Diet because it offers many delicious food options. However, it can be high in fat, possible harmful over long periods of time and low in fiber and calcium.

The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet This is another reduced carbohydrate diet that allows meats, dairy, vegetables, fruits, and grain products, but restricts all other carbohydrates. It tends to be quite high in fat and saturated fat.

The Choose to Lose Diet This is a low fat diet that allows you to eat from all ofrepparttar 135023 major food groups. You are only restricted by a "fat budget" that you choose how to spend. Carbohydrates are allowed, as well as lean meat, poultry, seafood, fruits, vegetables, bread and pasta. The Choose to Lose Diet allows an ample amount of fruits and vegetables and it is low in saturated fat and it provides a fairly healthy eating plan for fast weight loss.

The DASH Diet The DASH diet allows for a high carbohydrate intake, with moderate amounts of fat and protein. It was originally designed as a low-pressure diet. The DASH diet followsrepparttar 135024 principles ofrepparttar 135025 Food Pyramid, but it suggests more servings of fruits and vegetables (up to nine daily,) and more dairy servings (two to three daily servings of low fat or nonfat dairy.) The DASH diet may require too much food for most people to see weight loss results.

The Eat More Weigh Less Diet This diet is an extremely low-fat diet that focuses on vegetarian fare. It allows fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, egg whites, and some nonfat dairy products. This is a very restricted diet that limits even healthy foods like lean organic meats, poultry, and low-fat dairy products. This diet is great for vegetarians, but it is low in calcium, and it may be too difficult for most people to follow long enough to see weight loss results.

The Eat Right For Your Blood Type Diet This diet plan bases you food choices on your blood type. For example, those with Type O blood follow an eating plan that includes lots of meat. Some ofrepparttar 135026 "blood type" diets in this plan are too restricted in calories and they may be poor in nutritional balance. Little proof is offered on basis ofrepparttar 135027 diet, that blood type should affect dietary choices.
