Why Should You go Natural?

August 28, 2008

To appreciate why natural skincare products are so beneficial, it helps to highlight why it’s better to steer clear of other chemical products on the skincare market. A big reason to do so is the presence of parabens in a lot of cosmetics. These are chemicals used as preservatives primarily for their bactericidal and fungicidal properties, and there are suggestions that these can be linked with breast cancer. Parabens are commonly used in cosmetics such as shampoos, moisturizers, shaving gels, cleansing gels, spray tan and toothpaste.

Dr Philippa Darbre and colleagues at the University of Reading carried out tests on samples of 20 different human breast tumours their findings recorded traces of parabens in every sample, suggesting the chemicals had seeped into the tissue after being applied to the skin. Results have shown that parabens have weak estrogenic activity. Some estrogens are known to drive the growth of tumors; the study has raised some concern about the use of butylparaben, and to a lesser extent other parabens as well.

“This is the first study to show their (parabens) accumulation in human tissues … It demonstrates that if people are exposed to these chemicals, then the chemicals will accumulate in their bodies. Their detection in human breast tumours is of concern since parabens have been shown to be able to mimic the action of the female hormone estrogen. Estrogen can drive the growth of human breast tumours. It would therefore seem especially prudent to consider whether parabens should continue to be used in such a wide range of cosmetics applied to the breast area including deodorants.” Dr Philippa Darbre.

Chris Flower, director general of the UK’s Cosmetic Toiletry & Perfumery Association, welcomed the study, “It is welcome additional information and we will want to examine the findings in detail”.

So it is understandable people have become concerned about the use of parabens in their cosmetics, even if their link with estrogen and breast cancer remains uncertain many wish to play it safe and gain all the other benefits of completely natural products. Investigations into the subject have not proved conclusive; whilst they do not confirm a direct link between parabens and cancer, there is not definite evidence to state they are harmless.

The European Scientific Committee on Consumer Products (SCCP) has reviewed the safety of parabens twice since Jan 2005. Both reviews stated that the available data on parabens does not enable a decisive response to the question of whether propyl, butyl and isobutyl paraben can be safely used in cosmetic products at individual concentrations up to 0.4%, (the allowed limit in the EU).

Whilst the paraben situation is not one to strike terror into the hearts of avid anti-perspirant users just yet, we should appreciate what nature has to offer us, why turn to dubious chemicals for a beauty fix when there are alternative products readily available? Scin boutique stocks several ranges which are completely paraben-free; ‘Apivita’ express face masks for skin, body and hair, ‘Laidbare’ natural beauty range, ‘Purepotions’, ‘Taer’, ‘Jo Woods Organic’, ‘Pai’ handmade natural British skincare and most of the ‘Earth mama, angel baby’ pregnancy and baby products, can all be used without worry!

An Introduction to Natural Skincare and Natural Cosmetic Ingredients

August 28, 2008

Skin is great… it boasts as the largest organ in the body, waterproofing, insulating, temperature regulating and allowing for all types of sensations. Skin does however need to be looked after, like everything else in the human body it can be damaged by our busy and sometimes unhealthy modern lifestyles.

It is important to keep skin clean in order for it to be radiant! It is also important to protect our skin from chemicals and irritants. Natural skincare products use ingredients derived from nature with natural skin benefiting properties like essential oils and flowers. combined with naturally occurring carrier agents, preservatives, surfactants, humectants and emulsifiers. Essentially natural skin care products are based around botanically sourced ingredients currently existing in or formed by nature, without the use of synthetic chemicals, which are manufactured in such a way to preserve the integrity of the ingredients.

Natural skin care is something that’s been used long before people decided to start rubbing chemicals into their skin… it stems back to the 4th millennium BC in China and the Middle East. It is believed that the Egyptians developed many natural skin care treatments for a variety of skin conditions, for example one ancient treatment comprised of bullock’s bile, whipped ostrich eggs, olive oil, dough and resin mixed with milk… products have become slightly more appealing nowadays! In the modern age many people with unique skin types and needs - sensitive skin, dry skin, oily skin - find that natural skin care solutions can give them the beautiful skin they want.

From mud to bark, natural ingredients offer many great healing and restorative properties and many have unique elements which make them so good to the skin, here is a taster of some of the more commonly used…

Jojoba oil comes from a shrub and is easily refined to become odorless and colorless, therefore it is ideal to use as a carrier oil or moisturiser for fragrances.

Rose hip seed oil is unique among vegetable oils in containing retinol (Vitamin A). It is high in essential fatty acids, omega-3, and omega-6. It can be used for a variety of skin conditions, including dermatitis, acne and eczema and as a treatment for mature and sun burnt skin as well as brittle nails.

Shea nut butter is a natural fat extracted from fruit of the Shea tree by crushing and boiling. Shea butter is widely used as an emollient in moisturisers.

Witch Hazel is produced from the leaves and bark of the North American Witch Hazel shrub, it is a strong anti-oxidant and astringent, which is great for treating acne, and can also be used for psoriasis, eczema, cracked or blistered skin, insect bites, and as a treatment for varicose veins and hemorrhoids. Witch hazel can be used as a natural aftershave and hair spray for normal to oily hair.

Aloe Vera has great soothing, moisturising and healing properties and is one of the most commonly used natural ingredients.

Tea tree oil is an essential oil taken from the tree leaves. The oil has antiseptic and antifungal action, and is good for the skin, in particular the face.

Chamomile can be used in skin care to reduce minor irritation due to its mild antiseptic properties, it also lightens hair slightly.

These are just a few of the great ingredients that nature offers us. Not only do natural skincare products smell gorgeous and achieve great results for your body, one can use them happy in the knowledge that your skin is safe from chemicals and unknown long term damage… isn’t nature great!

Why Organic is Better - Controversy Over Skincare Products

August 28, 2008

There is one very practical reason for a commitment to the use of natural ingredients and organic products, and that is the long history of controversy over the chemicals used in skin care products.

Perhaps the most famous debate has been over the use of parabens, which is in general use as a preservative in many of the world’s cosmetic products. Scientists have debated the validity of health concerns regarding the chemical, but many have attributed its use in beauty products as increasing chances of breast cancer.

With some reports estimating that over 75% of cosmetic products contain parabens, the grounds for their use and the controversy over their effect is a vitally important one; if those negative effects can be proved then paraben use can be legitimately outlawed. That said, their inclusion in cosmetic products will always have to be subject to serious questioning whilst evidence remains inconclusive.

What, then, is the positive and negative evidence concerning the use of parabens and the increased risk of breast cancer?

The Journal of National Cancer Institute published a report in 2002, titled Antiperspirant Use and the Risk of Breast Cancer, which refuted claims of any links between cancer and paraben use:

“The rumor that antiperspirant use causes breast cancer continues to circulate the Internet. Although unfounded, there have been no published epidemiologic studies to support or refute this claim…Our results provide no indication that such a relationship exists…These findings are based on data collected from a large population-based study of rigorous design, and as such, the absence of any observed associations may help alleviate the concern of many that use of underarm antiperspirants or deodorants could alter their risk for breast cancer.”

What is interesting, then, is that since the publication of the report - which the scholars claimed was one of the first in depth reports into the subject - has not reduced the circulation of what they call ‘rumours’ on the paraben use and cancer risk debate.

In 2004, a team of scientists including P.D. Dabre and W.R. Miller submitted an addition to the debate in The Journal of Applied Toxicology. Whilst they found evidence for potential connections, they did not deem it to be conclusive. A section of the report reads as follows:

“Parabens are used as preservatives in many thousands of cosmetic, food and pharmaceutical products to which the human population is exposed. Although recent reports of the oestrogenic properties of parabens have challenged current concepts of their toxicity in these consumer products, the question remains as to whether any of the parabens can accumulate intact in the body from the long-term, low-dose levels to which humans are exposed.”

In other words, then, it is difficult for the link to be proved until scientists can establish that parabens - which are arguably exposed to the body in only small doses - can first of all accumulate successfully within the body, and secondly if the chemicals can have any negative influence.

Breast cancer and its link to parabens, as this brief exploration shows, is a troublesome field of debate. Indeed it seems that some companies are beginning to outlaw the use of parabens altogether; playing with chemical use like Pascal’s wager.

Until the use of parabens can be conclusively linked to breast cancer, damage limitation is perhaps the best way forward.

4 Things to Consider When it is ok to Take a Sleep Tablet

August 28, 2008

Having insomnia is very stressful and insomniacs will often feel that they are loosing their mind. Having fallen into this category it is perhaps one of the toughest problems one can face.

Not only does it cause problems in ones personal and professional life but sleep deprivation “mucks” up the brain function.

The amygdala is a region in the brain which is strongly associated with emotions such as fear and agitation. Sleep deprivation increases the activity here. So it comes as no surprise, after getting too little sleep the consequence is that one is more emotional and one is less able to control ones expressions of anger or sadness. Being delirious and hallucinating are two symptoms which may also arise after being without sleep for even as little as a few days. This illustrates how important sleep is and how essential it is to get a good nights sleep.

On the Road to Discovery and Recovery!

No matter what you read there is no single insomnia cure that you can go out and purchase. But saying that there are some wonderful ways to cure insomnia that are available on the market .

To find your personal best insomnia cure you need to take the following into consideration.

* your age - older adults (age 60 and over) are more frequently like to suffer from insomnia than any other age group. Many older people with insomnia do not need to take sleep aids.

Older people would benefit more from regular bedtimes, regular exercise, and less napping during the day. That afternoon nap makes getting a good nights sleep even harder.

* gender. - Women are twice as likely to suffer from insomnia than men. Woman who have never had children sleep better, even in their fifties and sixties, than women who had children.

* duration of the insomnia. You would need to consider whether the insomnia is transient or chronic.

My First S.O.S.

First port of call is that you may consider looking at sleeping pills as the best insomnia cure. As a short term option these light sedatives may be the best insomnia cure because they are effective and fast acting, allowing you a full nights sleep.

These drugs should not be used for more than a week or two otherwise you risk the chance of addiction. They should only be used for occasional treatment of temporary sleep problems. Sleeping tablets are strong medication and should be treated as such, be careful and follow all the instructions. But please don’t drink before you take them, which seems to be the common thread amongst people with side effects. Although it might be consider as one of the best insomnia cures it is not advisable as a long term solution.

Team work with you doctor is vital in solving your problem. After your doctor has ordered a full medical check it is your doctor that is best qualified to match the appropriate medication with your insomnia problem to bring about the best possible result.

You may need to try a few different anti-insomnia drugs before you “hit” upon the right one for you. Insomnia can definitely be trying to deal with, but with the right help and products you can start getting the rest that you need and feeling better overall.

Most of them who really follow a raw food diet program always aim to get at least 90% of their food the raw way, that is, uncooked and unprocessed. A little percentage of food can be thirsty or dried, as long as it was never heated above about 116 degrees Fahrenheit.

Because the association has taken off in recent years, more and more books are promoting about the raw food diet that features a variety of foods and recipes.

For an example, raw foods might create spaghetti using julienned zucchini method. Even the sauce might be made from fresh tomatoes and peppers, with some imagination and time, interesting recipes can be produced. So be alert with this type of recopies and also collect information from other outsourcers.

In this generation there are very rare people choosing a raw food diet when they simply want to lose weight. Because now they are more alert with their health often, there are other health benefits they seek. Proponents may say that the uncooked food diet has many benefits, including:

1 – There is healing of diseases like eye problems, skin diseases, and diabetes.

Is the Atkin Diet Scientifically Sound or Medically Hazardous?

August 28, 2008

In the early years of the 21st century, the Atkins Diet ruptures into the public awareness with the impetus of a freight train. It was developed and exposed by Dr. Robert Atkins and his low-crab franchise, the Atkins Diet was hailed as a revolutionary way to achieve weight loss goals very fast in very short term period with the proper rules. During the heyday of the low-crab diet craze in 2003 and 2004, it was expected that nearly 10% of the American adults were on the Atkins Diet program.

Conversely, the popularity of the Atkins phenomenon wane almost as rapidly as it rose, and by 2005, Atkins Nutritionals, Inc. was forced to file for insolvency, though various manifestations live on, with moderate success, even today.

At first, the Atkins Diet program was surrounded by both accolade and accusation; the height of this popularity was also the height of the argument. Opponents of the diet, which included prestigious organizations such as the American Medical Association and the American Heart Association, were extremely unconvinced of the claims made by and premises behind the Atkins Diet. That’s the reason people are getting aware from this type of diet program.

A number of representatives went so far as to label and advertise the diet dangerous to the public physical condition, cite, among other things, an increase in heart disease possibility. So more people are scared to enroll them self with this type of diet program.

Apart from that, proponents of the Atkins Diet program were similarly passionate. They asserted that most disagreement raised against the Diet was based on faulty assumptions and common misunderstand. Both sides cited have a variety of different scientific studies to support their position, and even today a ultimate conclusion not yet been reached to anybody.

The Tenets of the Atkins Diet

The current public image of the Atkins Diet program is as a low-crab, high-fat, and high-protein diet program. As given to all the preventive guidelines of most diet plans, it is easy to see why so many flocked to try out. This is because Dr. Atkins’ strange a new approaches to weight loss. However, the former summary of the Atkins Diet program, while pithy and catchy, is not completely correct.

For your information the Atkins Diet actually consists of numerous phases. During the first phase, it is known as Induction Phase, where all the participants impose serious limits on their carbohydrate intake. The source of the little amount of permissible crabs is also carefully monitored. Other than that, foods such as meats and fish are liberally allowable, because it’s giving rise to the mischaracterization of the Atkins Diet program as a plan centered on unlimited fat and protein intake. In realism, the induction phase is only the beginning; and during the subsequent phases the amount of crabs to other nutrients changes extensively.

After the research they found that proponents of the Atkins philosophy point out that the most obvious weight loss typically occurs during this initial Induction Phase. That is the main cause why people are choosing the Induction Phase. Opponents, still, counter with the quarrel that such a dramatic weight loss pattern is a fairly common incidence in diets, attributable more to water loss than any particular diet’s helpfulness.

Conclusion

Whether you believe or not in the Atkins Diet, it is an unquestionable fact that the food you eat has an important impact on your weight, appearance, and health. So don’t trust others word any spoil your health start act now with a good decision.

Does the Grapefruit Diet Really Work?

August 28, 2008

Most of the people who have researched about dieting or weight loss trough online have probably come across about the Grape Fruit Diet program. Theoretically you can reduce about a pound a day over a two week period. There also introduce a 3 day plan for those who are not able to stick it with 2 weeks program. Different people gain different experience as well as them really success with this grape fruit diet program.

Definitely it can’t be a permanent solution to managing your weight. It is just a way to lose weight quickly and would probably work if you are intended to get married and needed to drop a few pounds for a wedding or also for a class reunion. Be in mind that once you lose weight with this grapefruit diet the weight will come back again if you stop the program. Because what you are losing is mostly fluids and not the fat in your body.

You must understand that the theory behind this diet is that grapefruit diet has a normal component that combined with a high protein diet that causes you to lose weight. In this program you will only be allowed to consume around 1000 calories on this diet per day. Actually 1000 calories is not a lot of calories that a person will consume in a day. You also can keep your weight if you discipline yourself and take few calories of food everyday.. Same like other diet program exercise is advised to be following and also there are of certain things that you must to eat. In this dietary program you will be asked to eat a grapefruit with each meal or drink a glass of unsweetened grapefruit juice everyday for the good impact.

You will also be required to be eating everything that is part of the grapefruit diet. They always advise you to finish up whatever that in your plate even you feel full.. Other than eating grape fruit and drinking a grape juice there is a grapefruit pill that you can take if you want to follow the diet but trust me it won’t work as grapefruit. You always can get the pills in any nearby pharmacy or it can be purchased online.

What the grapefruit diet gives you is it is another quick loss weight diet plan. It will almost certainly help you reduce 5 to 10 pounds rather quickly if you need to. If you go for a long term diet plan under this program it will leave you disappointed. Because it is not a diet program that allows you to change you’re eating habits. It’s better for you if to control your weight and get success with your plan and be happy with the result.

There are always better ways to control your weight and return to healthy diet. Remember, results that last will not be proficient as quickly as reducing 10 pounds in 2 weeks time. It’s really a bullshit program. Rather a successful diet plan will help you reduce weight gradually while showing you what foods are healthy for you and teaching you how much to eat it will be last long and you won’t be gain weight even after you stop the program. So my humble request always stays away from diets such as the Grapefruit diet and you will have a much better chance of losing weight and marinating it.

Don’t worry if you’re new to this diet, we are here to provide you with more details. A low GI diet means that you must eat foods that are on the low end of the glycerin index, an index that measures how fast the food is broken down by the body and transformed to sugar. Foods that are satiating and that take more time to convert are found as the low end of the GI index. Those that are less satiating and break down faster are at the high end. So always go for a low of the GI index.

At first you may not able to see the changes very obvious,, but eating this way can be beneficial to your skin and not just to reduce your body weight.

The next is for your lunch. You can make some easy switches for your lunch like you must stay away from hamburgers, which are often sandwiched with empty white bread (big blood sugar spike) but you can choose a healthful salad with vinaigrette instead of choosing hamburgers. Other wise you might choose a veggie burger on a whole wheat bun. Totally try to avoid fries made from regular potatoes, but if new potatoes are on the menu, enjoy it with happily.
