While the subject of hemorrhoids is embarrassing and often avoided, it is estimated that most Americans, both male and female, will experience hemorrhoids at least once in their lives.  While people over the age of 40 are most likely to develop hemorrhoids, people of all ages and from all walks of life are vulnerable.
What are hemorrhoids?
The term hemorrhoids refers to a condition in which the veins around the anus or lower rectum are swollen and inflamed.
Hemorrhoids may result from straining to move stool. Other contributing factors include pregnancy, aging, chronic constipation or diarrhea, and anal intercourse.
Hemorrhoids are either inside the anus—internal—or under the skin around the anus—external.
What are the symptoms of hemorrhoids?
Many anorectal problems, including fissures, fistulae, abscesses, or irritation and itching, also called pruritus ani, have similar symptoms and are incorrectly referred to as hemorrhoids.
Hemorrhoids usually are not dangerous or life threatening. In most cases, hemorrhoidal symptoms will go away within a few days.
Although many people have hemorrhoids, not all experience symptoms. The most common symptom of internal hemorrhoids is bright red blood covering the stool, on toilet paper, or in the toilet bowl. However, an internal hemorrhoid may protrude through the anus outside the body, becoming irritated and painful. This is known as a protruding hemorrhoid.
Symptoms of external hemorrhoids may include painful swelling or a hard lump around the anus that results when a blood clot forms. This condition is known as a thrombosed external hemorrhoid.
In addition, excessive straining, rubbing, or cleaning around the anus may cause irritation with bleeding and/or itching, which may produce a vicious cycle of symptoms. Draining mucus may also cause itching.
How are hemorrhoids prevented?
The best way to prevent hemorrhoids is to keep stools soft so they pass easily, thus decreasing pressure and straining, and to empty bowels as soon as possible after the urge occurs. Exercise, including walking, and increased fiber in the diet help reduce afoulim-openw.jpgconstipation and straining by producing stools that are softer and easier to pass.

One of the best 100% natural ointments treating hemorrhoids and varicose veins is Afoulim by Herbs of Kedem.

Early this year the media reported that English researchers identified parabens in samples of breast tumors. Parabens (alkyl esters of p-hydroxybenzoic acid) are widely used as antimicrobial preservatives in thousands of cosmetics, personal care products, pharmaceutical products, and food. There are six commonly used forms (Methylparaben, Ethylparaben, p-Propylparaben, Isobutylparaben, n-Butylparaben and Benzylparaben) and it is estimated that they are used in at least 13,200 cosmetics products. According to the lead researcher of the recent study, Philippa Darbre, an oncology expert at the university of Reading, in Edinburgh, the chemical form of the parabens found in 18 of the 20 tumors tested indicated that they originated from something applied to the skin, the most likely candidates being deodorants, antiperspirants, creams, or body sprays.motives.jpgBut there are some lines of skin care products and cosmetics that does not contain paradens. For example Motives cosmetics offered by Market America.

fish-and-greens.jpgHealthy food leads to healthy skin
The vitamins and minerals that promote great-looking skin are found in a variety of foods. Considering that today’s food lacks many needed components some great supplements are available 
Antioxidants: isotonix1.jpg
As we get older our skin begins to exhibit damage caused by free radicals.
A diet loaded with antioxidant rich fruits and vegetables especially berries, pomegranate, broccoli can help neutralize the damage.
Vitamin D. http://www.marketamerica.com/annanathankagan/product-2223/isotonix-calcium-plus.htm. (If link does not work please copy and paste the URL)
isotonix-multivitamin.jpgExposure to the sun is necessary to produce vitamin D. But due to the danger of overexposure it is advisable to limit your exposure to sun and to eat foods like leafy greens. As we age it is also a good idea to add vitamin D supplement.
Omega-III. http://www.marketamerica.com/annanathankagan/product-2247/heart-health-essential-omega_iii_fish_oil_with_vitamin_e.htm (If link does not work please copy and paste the URL)
heart-health-omega-3-fish-oil.jpgOmega-3 fatty acids are crucial for bolstering the skin barrier –the layer of lipids that keeps moisture in and irritants out of your skin.
Good sources are flaxseed, flaxseed oil. Fish like tilapia, salmon and cod.
Omega-3 supplements are important especially during the winter.
Coenzime Q10. http://www.marketamerica.com/annanathankagan/index.cfm? action=shopping.wpSearch (If link does not work please copy and paste the URL)
Studies have shown that coenzyme Q10 , found in oily fish like sardines and mackerel is effective in preventing skin cancer.
Again considering the deficiencies in our diet taking supplement CoQ10 is important.
Statins which lower cholesterol reduce the body’s natural levels of CoQ10.
If you are on statins you may need to increase the CoQ10 intake.
Glucosamine. http://www.marketamerica.com/annanathankagan/index.cfm?action=shopping.wpSearch. (If link does not work please copy and paste the URL)
Primarily used for joints  this natural compound also keeps your skin elastic by boosting the production of hyaluronic acid in the dermis. Hyaluronic acid holds on to moisture giving skin volume and radiance. It is recommended to take 1500mg of this supplement daily.
Foods that are bad for you and for your skin:
Refined sugar causes skin to age more quickly. Dairy food may exacerbate acne. Excessive alcohol intake can lead to broken capillaries and may worsen rosacea. Spicy food-too much 
hyaluronic acid.

 Definition

Acne is a common skin disease characterized by pimples on the face, chest, and back. It occurs when the pores of the skin become clogged with oil, dead skin cells, and bacteria.

acne-care.jpgThe National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases offers these suggestions:

Wash your face regularly — in the morning when you wake up, before you go to bed and always after you’ve exercised or sweated heavily.

Be sure to wash your entire face — including past the jaw and all the way up to the hairline.

Use only a mild face wash. Ask your dermatologist or doctor what is best for your skin.

Avoid using a harsh soap or astringent on your face, and don’t scrub the skin.

Wash your hair frequently. If you have oily hair, you may want to wash it daily. timeless-skin-care.jpg

We know that healthy person has healthy, glowing skin. hskin.jpg
So instead of spending a fortune on skin care why don’t we take care of our health and use a few natural skin care products?
Healthy lifestyle and diet will do wonders. But in our times it is almost impossible to achieve because of processed food, stress and pollution.
To compensate for these modern health hazards I found natural supplements that help your body to do the job.
isotonix.jpgIsotonix OPC-3® Beauty Blend is an isotonic-capable food supplement that is made from a combination of bilberry, grape seed, red wine, pine bark extracts and citrus extract bioflavonoids, all found to be powerful antioxidants. Oligomeric proanthocyanidins (OPCs) are bioflavonoids (complex organic plant compounds) found in fruits, vegetables and certain tree barks that provide exceptional nutritional benefits to the human body. Studies have shown OPCs to be up to 20 times more powerful than vitamin C and 50 times more powerful than vitamin E in neutralizing free radicals. Isotonix OPC-3 contains the only isotonic form of Pycnogenol in the world. Pycnogenol is a natural plant extract from the bark of the French maritime pine tree, and the most clinically researched and powerful bioflavonoid.*
For taking care of our skin from outside here is the great line of products made fro Judean desert herbs.

cosmetics1.jpgAn environmental health specialist at Stirling University in Scotland, Dr. Baillie-Hamilton details how toxins may be linked to dozens of serious health problems, including immune system diseases, neurological disorders, digestive disorders, hormonal imbalances, cardio-vascular diseases, cancer, hypersensitivity, obesity, musculoskeletal disorders and childhood health problems. “These chemicals are simply not going to go away,” Institute reports “pesticides are a likely cause of immune suppression for millions of people throughout the world” and that 25% of the chemicals in the environment are neurotoxins linked to increased incidence of brain disease.
The Ugly Side of Cosmetics
February 3, 2005 the Food and Drug Administration issued an unprecedented warning to the cosmetics industry stating that the Agency is serious about enforcing the law requiring companies to inform consumers that personal care products have not been safety tested. When risky chemicals are used in cosmetics, the stakes are high. These compounds are not trace contaminants. They are the base ingredients tsukim-close.jpgof the product, just as flour is an ingredient in bread. Many of these chemicals are found in percent levels in personal care products, nearly all easily penetrate the skin, and some are ingested directly after they are applied to lips or hands. And increasingly, companies are adding customized, futuristic “penetration enhancers” to drive ingredients even deeper into the skin, like Loreal’s new nanoparticle technology — a miniscule, fluid-filled sack designed to burrow deep into the skin to deliver its “active ingredients.” No safety testing required. Scientists find common cosmetic ingredients in human tissues, like industrial plasticizers called phthalates in urine, preservatives called parabens in breast tumor tissue, and persistent fragrance components like musk xylene in human fat. Do the levels at which they are found pose risks? Those studies have not been done. They are not required.
So our advice
Find same cosmetic products that are availble and are in hi demand.

What Are Free Radicals?

February 19, 2009

orac.jpgA free radical is an atomic structure with an unpaired electron in its outermost shell. These unpaired electrons tend to be highly reactive, resulting in chemical reactions such as oxidation. Because they have one or more unpaired electrons, free radicals are highly unstable. They scavenge the body to grab or donate electrons, causing damage to cells, proteins and DNA.

Ftisheri-open.jpgree radicals are naturally occurring; however, air pollution, stress, smoking, heavy exercising and aging all contribute to the creation of harmful free radicals. Free radicals can cause oxidative damage to the body, potentially leading to serious health problems. Normally the body is able to protect itself from the damaging effects of free radicals, but if antioxidants are unavailable, or if free radical production becomes excessive, damage can occur.

hskin.jpg Getting facials: Yes, that’s right — you can strike facials from your skin-care budget and actually be doing your skin a favor! Studies show that as many as 80% of people break out after a facial. Aestheticians often don’t know which products are right for the skin of each client, and may use ingredients that can worsen acne, or essential oils that tend to irritate sensitive skin. Even if you don’t break out, there are really no long-term benefits to facials.

Skin problems are sometimes little understood by the medical science. The skin is sensitive to the accumulation of toxic materials in the body, since it is an organ which stocks such materials and excretes them by perspiration.

There are all natural skin care products available that will benefit your skin health.

Also some natural products will keep your skin healthy from the inside.
