Understand what sugar does to the skin and how simple solutions can help prevent fast aging. Heal inside and glow outside.

Sugar is metabolized by our bodies into energy, but if the body cannot use it as fuel, it will turn it into fat. Next a process of glycation will also age the skin. When blood sugars goes up rapidly, sugars bind to collagen, making the skin stiffer and more brittle. So think about where else your body has collagen. Hair, nails, joints, bones! Your skin will always show what is happening on the inside. No wonder facial diagnosis in Chinese Medicine is part of the diagnostic tool. My suggestion is a potent blend of plant-based enzymes to support sugar metabolism. Key herbs, vitamins, and minerals clinically validated to support insulin receptor sensitivity and healthy blood sugar metabolism. Adding Essential Fatty Acids to the diet will also decrease platelet aggregation. Very important are lipotropic factors to prevent the accumulation of fat in the liver. Abnormal fatty deposition develops in the liver after starvation, alcoholism, dysinsulinisim, viral conditions, as well as after-damage from pesticides, steroid hormones, and drugs.

Louisiana State University research exposure to AD-36 virus (respiratory and eye infections)

This study removed stem cells from health tissue and exposed it to adenovirus-36 and found that more than half of the cells turned to storage capable fat cells. Other studies show that one-third of the obese people are infected with AD-36,and only one in 10 people with healthy weight were infected.

Menopause and Related Health Risks..Deborah Mokowitz,ND

In July 2002, after determining that estrogen in combination with progestin increased a woman's risk of breast cancer, coronary events, stroke, and blood clots, the National Institutes of Health,(NIH) prematurely halted the first part of the WHI, a study designed to identify the risks and benefits associated with long-term use. In this study, 16,608 healthy postmenopausal women with uterus, ages 50-79, were randomized to either test or placebo group. The test group received a combination of equine estrogen and synthetic progestin (PremPro);no bioidentical hormones were used. At the time the study was halted, PremPro compared to placebo resulted in:

*26-percent increased risk of invasive breast cancer (eight additional cases per 10,000 women per year);

*29-percent increased risk of myocardial infarction(MI)or death from coronary heart disease (CHD)(seven additional cases per 10,000 women per year);

*41-percent increased risk of stroke (eight additional cases per 10,000 women per year);and

*200-percent increased risk of blood clots (18 additional cases per 10,000 women per year).

The WHI study also confirmed benefits seen in previous studies, most notably:

*33-percent decreased risk of hip fracture (five fewer fractures per 10,000 women per year);

*37-percent decreased risk of colorectal cancer (six fewer cases per 10,000 women per year);and

*Relief of menopausal symptoms like hot flashes and vaginal atrophy.

An ancillary study the following year, the Women''s Health Initiative Memory Study (WHIMS), demonstrated additional risks for women on combination equine estrogens and synthetic progestins. The study found combination therapy doubled the risk of developing dementia in women age 65 and older.

Athelete's will be able to use Traditional Chinese medicines (TCM) at the next year's Olympics.

"There is no direct relation between Chinese traditional herbal medicine and doping," Dai, who is responsible for medical services at the Games, told reporters. "It has been around for several thousand years and is very healthy for the body. Like Western medicines it can protect the body. It would be like saying vitamin C is a kind of doping." Dai said China's drug administration had to approve all traditional medicines and, as in other countries, the ingredients were analised and listed on packaging.

Hormones are anti-aging. How to stay smart, fit and slow the aging genetic clock.

Bio-identical progesterone is made from plant steroids like the wild yam. Not a synthetic which the body may map as an anti-gen and convert to xenohormones which may pre-curse carcinogenesis. Synthetics will always give risk to cancer, depression among other symptoms. Endocrinology case studies show how natural progesterone balances estrogen, which very easily wants to be trapped in our fat cells. Typically around our waists! Get the picture? Then there's the overproduction of estrogens, which we can blame stress for. In other words, cortisol and adrenal function which may be fatigued. Like running your car engines with poor fuel.
