Secrets For Wrinkle Free Skin


Wrinkles are nothing but thin creases that we notice on certain parts of our body as our age increases. You can notice wrinkles on your face, especially at the corner of the eyes, on your neck and your hands.
However, wrinkles have come to be seen as synonymous with old age and people, especially women, panic at the first signs of wrinkles. Our skin contains elastin and collagen and it is these substances that give it the elasticity. As we grow older or even in case of skin damage, these elements reduce. As a result of this, the skin looks creased and sagging. 
Wrinkles are also caused by over exposure to the rays of the sun. This often results in squinting and causes wrinkles around the eyes. If you smoke on a regular basis, you are likely to develop wrinkles. When people go on a crash diet with the aim of losing a lot of weight over a short period of time, their skin is adversely affected and develops wrinkles.


Following are the essential things you need to do to prevent wrinkling of skin
1. Avoid the harsh sunrays or atleast cover your face with a scarf and use a gentle sunscreen.


2. Use Mosturizers to keep your skin soft and hydrated at all times.Hydration of the skin is the key to prevent wrinkles.


3. Drink lots and lots of water.atleast 8-10 glasses everyday.this will hydrate your whole system from within.


4. Dont Frown or get angry..atleast dont show it on your face..Frowning and raising eyebrows will lead to wrinkles faster than anything else.


5. Regular exercise increases the required blood circulations that will keep your system free of toxins.This will lead to to younger body.


6. Dont Smoke- smoking dries your system and fastens the wrinkling of skin.

Heart Disease-No 1 Killer In Women


When you hear the term 'Heart Disease,' what is your first reaction? Like many women, you may think, “That’s a man’s disease” or “Not my problem.”
But here is The Heart Truth: Heart disease is the number one killer of women . Most women don’t know this. But it is vital that you know it—and know what it means for you.

One woman dies almost every minute from Heart Disease.Yet Studies Show that only 21%One woman view Heart Disease as Health Threat.

Worldwide 8.6 million women die of heart disease each year, accounting for a third of all deaths in women. With all the risk factors common to men additionally use of Oral Contraceptive pills is there in women. So women should be educated about everything they need to know about their heart.

According to statistics, the mortality rate among women suffering from cardiovascular diseases is also higher than that of men across the world, including India. The main reason behind the increased mortality rate in women is the changes in lifestyle in metropolitan cities. In big cities women are working late shifts and more and more women are taking help of smoking and drinking to deal with the stress of personal and professional life.


'Risk Factors'

1) Non Modifiable : Age , Family history and sex.

2) Modifiable :
High blood pressure, High cholesterol, Obesity , smoking, Alcohol, Unhealthy Diet, Stress and depression, Sedentary lifestyle.

Following are the Risk Factors That Play a Bigger Role in Women.
These factors affect both men and women, but doctors are finding that they may have a bigger impact on women:

a) Diabetes. This in particular is a more potent risk factor for women. Women who have diabetes have a four to five times more elevated risk for heart disease.

b) Birth Control Pills : Studies show that women who use high-dose birth control pills are more likely to have a heart attack or stroke because blood clots are more likely to form in the blood vessels.

Much of this information comes from studies of birth control pills containing higher doses of hormones than those commonly used today. Still, the risks of using low-dose pills are not fully known.
Therefore, if you are now taking any kind of birth control pill or are considering using one, keep these guidelines in mind: Don’t mix smoking and “the pill.” If you smoke cigarettes, make a serious effort to quit. If you cannot quit, choose a different form of birth control.

SYMPTOMS
Unusual fatigue, Sleep disturbance , shortness of breath ,Indigestion , anxiety.



'You and Your Doctor: A Heart Healthy Partnership'


"ASK AND YOU GET!" Tell your doctor you want to keep your heart healthy and would like help in achieving that goal. Ask questions about your chances of developing heart disease and how you can lower your risk.
A wholistic approach combining Allopathy, Ayurveda, Homoeopathy , Naturopathy, Yoga , and Lifestyle modifications can save your heart.

If you eat a nutritious diet, engage in regular physical activity, maintain a healthy weight, and stop smoking, you will improve your heart health. No matter what heart disease risk factors you have—or how many—you will greatly benefit from taking action in these four areas. If you already have heart disease, you can lessen its severity by following this plan.

True, you may need to take other steps to prevent or control heart disease. For example, if you have diabetes, you also will need to keep your blood sugar levels under control. But following a heart healthy eating plan, controlling your weight ,and engaging in more physical activity will help you keep your blood sugar at healthy levels. These steps will also help reduce your chances of developing high blood pressure or high blood cholesterol.
