What Is Telomerase?


by  Stephen Long 5/13/2012

There are two sure things in life are death and taxes. At least that is what most of us have always believed. It is no wonder that as scientists have started making discoveries about the "anti-aging" gene that it has captivated attention from around the world. To understand the excitement over the telomerase, which causes age reversal, you first must understand why cells age to begin with.

At the end of each chromosome inside the cell there is something called a telomere. A telomere can be likened to the plastic piece at the end of a shoe lace and it has a similar function. The telomere protects the genetic material from fraying, which would cause the loss of genetic material ...

by  Simon Rojko 5/13/2012

Wrinkles on the face occur due to many reasons such as excessive exposure to sun, air pollution, aging, smoking, drinking of alcohol, muscle use, lack of hydration and improper dieting habits. While aging itself cannot be avoided, we can take many preventative measures to stop wrinkles on face to form prematurely and in excess.

First off, we should be protected by wearing natural sunscreen whenever we are exposed to the sun, especially in the summer months. We can also take care that sufficient amount of water is delivered to our body. Consuming at least 65 ounces of pure filtered water every day will greatly help to keep the body free of toxins and maintain elasticity of the skin.

by  Mich Ching 5/13/2012

Testosterone Replacement in Men and Women


by  Robb D Bird 3/31/2012

Testosterone replacement has different benefits for men and women. What one must take into consideration is that naturally occurring levels of testosterone for women are only one tenth to one twentieth of that of a man’s testosterone level. Men normally produce 20-100mg of testosterone per day while women only 2 mg per day. Both sexes can greatly benefit from testosterone replacement. In men testosterone replacement can relieve the symptoms of middle-age hormone decline. Some of these symptoms are weight gain particularly belly fat, high LDL cholesterol, high blood pressure, insomnia, fatigue, irritability, depression, low sex drive, memory problems among others. Once men have had testosterone replacement they suddenly see that a lot of the above mentioned symptoms become less or ...

Are You Adding More Wrinkles by Sleeping?


by  Jeslyn Lim 3/31/2012

As you are aware, wrinkles do not show up on skin of aging people. It can surface even for those in the late twenties and early thirties. That’s because age is only one of the many factors that may cause fine lines to appear and eventually deepen.

However, it seems counter intuitive to even think that sleeping can introduce more wrinkles. We are told to sleep for 7 to 8 hours a day so that we will look young, didn’t we? Some may wonder is this a myth. Apparent it’s not.

Recent discovery shows that sleeping posture can lead to wrinkles. Sleeping on the face produces more wrinkles and is termed as "sleeping posture induced wrinkles".

Indeed, there are truths ...

What Are the Benefits of Taking a Resveratrol Supplement


by  Stewart L Johnson 3/31/2012

Resveratrol is a phenolic compound and a phytoalexin. Phytoalexin is a chemical substance that is produced by several plants in response to a fungal infection. Alexin is a greek word that means to ward off something. As such, certain plants produce resveratrol to protect it from fungal attacks.

Resveratrol’s protective-like properties in plants can also provide protective properties for humans. Resveratrol is found in the skins of grapes. Resveratrol is also found in significant quantities in the roots and stems of the polygonium cuspidatum plant or the common name of Japanese Knotweed. Since grape skins are used in making wine, resveratrol is found in wine, especially red wine. This fact led researchers who have performed resveratrol studies to suggest the ...

Face Wrinkles When Losing Weight


by  Amanda B. Sumner 12/21/2011

Face wrinkles can be a consequence of losing weight drastically. As you know, part of the face is made up of fat, right? Less fat essentially means less mass holding the skin up. Eventually the skin sags and that’s when wrinkles start to become more visible.

While losing weight is necessary for many of us, it should be done responsibly, that is to say, with no (or very little) untoward reactions. Surprisingly (or not), that can be done through a slow but steady approach to weight loss.

Preventing Facial Wrinkles While Losing Weight

You might be desperate to lose weight fast, but know that doing it slowly will yield better and longer-lasting results. Here are some practical things to be done in order ...

Botox Treatments - What To Expect


by  Barbara Abrams 12/21/2011

Botox treatments have become very common for Hollywood stars. While many actors might not be willing to admit it, just about any actor over the age of 40 probably has had Botox treatments. Even the younger stars have elected to have Botox injected into their foreheads or around their eyes. One well know reality TV star even showed herself having the procedure during one of the episodes.

The treatments themselves are relatively painless and are typically done in a physician’s office. With the application of numbing cream, the treatment itself causes little if any pain or discomfort.

Where Botox is Usually Applied

In 2002, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Botox for the treatment of moderate to severe frown lines between the ...
