Wrinkles: Treatments and prevention

In ancient times, having wrinkles often meant that you were successful for having reached an old age. It was a sign of wisdom, health, and longevity. With the advancements in medical knowledge and care, we all get to live longer, meaning that wrinkles are becoming less a sign of success, and more a sign of just being old. Any pharmacy will have a plethora of "anti-aging" creams and products meant to make wrinkles less visible, but the best way to reduce the likeliness of wrinkles, one just needs know these facts:
1. The more expressive you are, the more wrinkles you'll have
Laugh-lines, frown-lines, crow's-feet, etc. – they all are results of your more common expressions. These lines become ingrained in your skin through years of similar motions and are impossible to reduce without plastic surgery as a facelift or by injecting special fillers under the skin.

2. Changing your diet can make a difference
Fruits and vegetables that are rich in antioxidants help the body combat the effects of free radicals, which are the main cause for aging-related symptoms. Foods that are particularly rich in antioxidants are prunes, raspberries, strawberries, cranberries, walnuts blueberries, pinto beans, and red beans.
3. Spending time in your car increases the likeliness of wrinkles
You may feel safe from the sun's rays in your car, but the sad truth is that the car windows can be your worst enemy. They provide no UVA protection, so if you sit in traffic a lot – you're also being exposed to the sun, often on one side specifically. Always wear sunscreen when you go for a drive – your skin will thank you.

4. Do you sleep on one side? You're more likely to get wrinkles
If your favorite sleeping position is on your side or stomach, with your face lying on a pillow – you're creating your own wrinkles. As your face presses into the pillow, it creates many wrinkles on your face, similarly to expression lines.
5. Drinking water helps reduce wrinkles
Most people don't know or understand the importance of drinking sufficient amounts of water during the day. If we're not sufficiently hydrated, our skin dries out, and dry skin gets damaged more easily because it loses its elasticity and becomes more brittle.. Make sure you're well hydrated throughout the day, and you'll keep those wrinkles at bay.

6. Frown lines can mean problems with your vision
While most other wrinkles are the results of age or sun damage, frown lines are not. These wrinkles that appear between your eyes are most often an indication that you probably need an eye exam. If you take care of vision problems early enough – you'll be able to delay, and even prevent these wrinkles.
7. Look at old family photos
Wrinkles are hereditary, and by investigating your family's history you can often predict when you'll start getting wrinkles, how pronounced they will be and where are they most likely to occur. Knowing that will help you care for "danger zones" in advance.

8. Face creams can slow down the appearance of wrinkles
Collagen levels in your skin determine its elasticity. As we get older, our bodies produce less collagen, contributing to the appearance of wrinkles. By using face creams that contain peptides, alpha hydroxy acids, retinoid, and vitamin C, you increase skin turnover, encouraging the production of collagen to a degree. Another way is a procedure called "Skin Tightening via Radio Frequency" that causes mild inflammation in the skin, promoting increased production of collagen. While this procedure is effective – it can be quite costly.

[www.keralites.net] Amla and Blood Sugar

Amla and Blood Sugar

Blood glucose, or blood sugar, provides energy to all of your organs and tissues. When diabetes develops, blood glucose is too high, yet your cells have difficulty getting enough energy because insulin is unable to move glucose into the cells. High blood sugar also puts stress on the kidneys and causes damage to other body systems. Amla is a traditional remedy that may help keep blood sugar at a steady level and prevent large increases after a meal. Consult your doctor to determine if consuming amla is a good strategy for your situation.

Amla

Amla is the fruit of the Indian gooseberry tree, or Emblica officinalia. The tree grows in the hill regions of India and produces abundant fruit in autumn. Amla is a traditional part of Indian medicine, or Ayurveda, recommended by practitioners as a general tonic, as a topical treatment for skin and hair and for many ailments. A sour-tasting fruit, amla is traditionally consumed either fresh or as a sweetened and preserved product called amla murabba.

Properties

Amla is a very rich source of vitamin C, an antioxidant vitamin that helps rid the body of free radicals. These compounds are natural metabolites of food that may harm cells by damaging DNA and cellular membranes. Amla also contains minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, iron, and chromium, and other vitamins such as several B vitamins and beta carotene, a precursor of vitamin A. In addition to its generally healthy properties, amla has positive effects on the pancreas, where insulin is produced, and its content of chromium helps to manage blood sugar levels.

Effects on Blood Sugar

Insulin, which is made in the pancreas, is critical in keeping blood sugar at proper levels. When the pancreas becomes inflamed, the resulting pancreatitis may injure insulin-secreting cells and result in high blood sugar levels. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, Indian gooseberry, or amla is an effective traditional remedy to prevent pancreatitis. Amla also contains chromium, a mineral that regulates carbohydrate metabolism and may make the body more responsive to insulin, helping to keep blood sugar at healthy levels.

Consuming Amla

Consume fresh amla fruit or juice daily, or prepare amla preserves from the fresh ingredient and have it with meals. Alternatively, dried and powdered amla is available at some Asian specialty or health food stores. Powdered amla may be sprinkled on food or mixed with water or milk. For a pancreatic tonic, the University of Maryland Medical Center recommends consuming 3 g to 6 g of amla powder daily, mixed in water or a beverage.
