Clean Common Areas To Prevent Illness

Although we cannot avoid all cold-causing microbes on a daily basis, there are some proven methods to keep them from invading your home. Like…

1. Use a humidifier – Researchers found that cold and flu viruses flourish in dry air. Aim to keep your home at around 50 percent humidity.

2. Clean common areas – Viruses can live on surfaces for up to 24 hours once they leave the body. If someone in your home is sick, wipe down door knobs, refrigerator handles, phones and remotes with disinfectant.

3. Kick off your shoes – Change into slippers at the door of your house to avoid tracking in germs and bacteria.

Protect Yourself From Bacteria With Immune System Products

There is nothing like that freshly scrubbed feeling after stepping out of the shower, but new studies suggest that your shower may possibly be making you sick. Researchers have found that up to 30% of showerheads are harboring a bacteria known as Mycobacterium avium, that can cause minor to serious lung infections. According to these researchers, showerheads are an ideal breeding ground for microbes. To protect yourself, let the water run for a few seconds before you step into the shower. Consider trading your current showerhead for an all metal one, not plastic since many components harbor more bacteria.

Pre Workout Products

At Everythingantiaging.com we recommend that before any type of exercise a pre-workout meal is a must to get your body prepared.  Here are some ideas for a great pre-workout supplement.

About 30 to 45 minutes before you exercise try and consume at least 20 grams of a fast digesting whey protein and at least 20 to 40 grams of some slow digesting carbohydrates. I know that it seems odd to take a fast acting whey protein along with slow digesting carb but, amazingly enough there is a good reason.

Taking a whey protein helps to get the amino acids from the protein into your blood faster.  This means they will be available sooner to help fuel you through your exercise program and they also help to stop muscle breakdown.

Now for the slow digesting carbs, because they enter your bloodstream slower actually in the form of glucose they help insulin levels to remain low. This means you will actually burn fat first and have a lot more energy through your workout.

It is important to make sure that you are consuming the correct type of carbs before you exercise. Unfortunately there are good carbs and bad carbs. Some types of good carbs are:

Apples

Oranges

Pears

Berries

Oatmeal

Wheat germ

Whole wheat pastas

Sweet potatoes

By taking a slow digesting carb supplement for instance you keep your fat burning and energy levels at their peak.  This will help you to build more stamina and exercise longer and harder.

Make sure and look at all the pre-workout supplements available on EverythingAntiAging.com, we are sure to have something for you.

FDA Investigating Counterfeit Alli

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is today warning consumers about a counterfeit and potentially harmful version of Alli 60mg capsules.

Preliminary laboratory tests conducted by GlaxoSmithKline – the maker of the FDA approved over-the-counter weight loss product, revealed that the counterfeit version did not contain orlistat, the active ingredient in Alli. Instead, the counterfeit product contained the controlled substance sibutramine. Sibutramine is a drug that should not be used in certain patient populations or without physician oversight. Sibutramine can also interact in a harmful way with other medications the consumer may be taking as well.

Consumers recently began reporting suspected counterfeit products as early as December, 2009. GSK has determined that the counterfeit product has been sold over the internet. However, there is no evidence at this time that the counterfeit Alli product has been sold through other channels, such as retail locations. GSK noted that the counterfeit Alli product looks similar to the authentic product, with just a few notable differences. The counterfeit Alli has:

 
 - Outer cardboard packaging is missing a “Lot” number or code.
 - Expiration date the includes month, day and year where authentic Alli  only lists the expiration as the month and year.
 - Packaging in plastic bottle that has a slightly taller and wider cap with  coarser ribbing than the genuine product.
 - Plain foil inner safety seal under plastic cap without any printed   words; whereas authentic Alli’s seal has printed “Sealed for Your  Protection”.
 - Contains larger capsules with a white powder, instead of small white  pellets.

Consumers who believe they have received counterfeit Alli are asked to contact the FDA’s office of Criminal Investigations.

Winter Hand Healing Tips

Try these simple tips to keep your hands looking down-right gorgeous year round!

1. Hydrate as you Lather. Washing often with antibacterial sanitizers that contain alcohol can dry out hands. In fact, even with soap, they can lose about 25% of their natural moisture with every rinse. To renew the suppleness of skin, use a milky, sulfate free soap instead or lock in moisture with a petrolatum rich lotion.

2. Cuticle Softness is Key. Heal ragged hangnails by massaging them with an oil based cream at morning and night to repair damage from dehydrating polish changes, filing and buffing. to neaten cuticles, gently push them back with an orangewood stick about once a week. trim away any stubborn remainders with a small nail clipper.

3. Bolster Nail Strength. Avoid polishes that have toluene, formaldehyde and dibutyl phthalate, which weaken nails. And take a mini vacay from lacquer about one week out of every month. by doing so, you will help restore moisture and help keep your nails strong and healthy.

4. Even Out Skin Tone. After years and years of sun exposure, your skin can show visible signs of skin damage all over your body, including brown sun spots on your hands. To prevent them, apply an spf 30 or higher sunscreen on daily. If you already see damage then apply a product with exfoliating glycolic acid for smooth, flawless hands in no time flat!

Reconsider Daily Aspirin Use

For most people a daily aspirin can clearly benefit people who have already had a heart attack or a stroke due to a blocked artery. But why shouldn’t everybody take a daily aspirin?

The problem is that even small doses of aspirin doubles the risk of gastrointestinal bleeding.  It also increases the risk of a life-threatening hemorrhagic stroke from bleeding into the brain. So, the decision on whether a person with no evidence of heart disease should take regular aspirin daily depends upon the balance between the risk of bleeding and the likelihood of cardiovascular benefit.

In March of 2009, the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force published their recommendations regarding aspirin use based on a review of research trials. These trials showed that aspirin reduced the risk of heart attacks in men with no symptoms of coronary heart disease (CHD) by about a third.  However, aspirin had no effect on the risk of heart attacks in similarly healthy women.

Given this new data, the Task Force made the following recommendations for men and women with no known CHD:

• Men less than age 45 should not take regular aspirin to prevent a heart attack or stroke.
• Women younger than 55 should not take aspirin to prevent a heart attack or stroke.
• Men between ages 45 and 79 should consider daily aspirin if the likelihood of lowering the risk of a heart attack exceeds the risk of bleeding.
• Women between ages 55 and 79 should not take aspirin to reduce their risk of a heart attack, but may consider using aspirin to lower their risk of stroke if this benefit outweighs the danger of possible bleeding.
• For men and women older than 80 there is insufficient evidence for or against the use of aspirin.

Please note that aspirin lowered the number of heart attacks and strokes but did not reduce either the number of deaths from these cardiovascular events or from all causes.

Natural Tips for Gray Hair

Scientists have noticed that the condition of your hair actually reveals a lot about the level of stress in your life over time. Chinese medicine often attributes many hair issues to a decline in your vital essence, brought on by stress, overwork, physical and emotional strain, and unhealthy lifestyle, as well as too much alcohol.  While stress reduction is at the forefront of most peoples minds, what else can you do if your hair woes are already showing?

Gray Hair:

Eat healthier for hair health – Black sesame seeds, black beans, and walnuts help reverse graying. For health and shiny hair, try eating foods everyday that are rich in essential fatty acids and omega-rich nutrients such as flaxseed oil, sesame oil, olive oil, virgin coconut oil, avocado, beans, nuts and seeds.

Color your hair naturally – If you want to dye your hair, use natural colorants such as henna. These natural shades can be used by both light and dark hair colors to help dye and cover unwanted gray hair.

Hair Loss:

Hair growth is affected by the hormonal system. It is quite normal to lose around 100 hairs every day, which are then replaced just days after. However, with age hormone levels fluctuate and start to often decline. This reduces the stimulus to the hair follicles, resulting in hair loss.

Ginger juice helps hair loss – Massage your scalp with fresh ginger juice. This will help stimulate the hair follicles on the affected part of your scalp and help stimulate healthy hair growth.

Scalp Issues/Dandruff:

It is normal for everyone to have some degree of dandruff on any given day. Your scalp undergoes regular regeneration and dead skin is shed to allow new skin growth. The flaking associated with dandruff can become worse when hormonal imbalances, stress, and improper diet come into play. Dandruff is at its worst during winter and fall when the air tends to be dry.

Apply aloe vera juice – Squeeze some aloe juice directly from the stem of the plant and massage into the scalp once a day, preferably before bedtime, for an entire month to help reduce dandruff or itchy scalp.

Baking soda head scrub – In the shower, wet your hands and scrub baking soda vigorously into your scalp.

Soak your scalp in green tea – Prepare a mild green tea and soak your scalp in it for 10-15 minutes, shampooing it out with olive oil, avocado oil or a hypoallergenic shampoo.

Find your own natural way to prevent gray hair, hair loss and scalp problems effectively. Reduce your stress, live a healthier lifestyle and try to go natural to nourish your hair back to health.
