Misconceptions Associated with The Skin Disease Acne

2010-02-01T21:18:00.000-08:00

Scientists and researchers have done studies related to acne, what causes it, what prevents it, including eliminated most views. So, studies have made them into myth’s who are legitimate. We’ll include the the best five misconceptions individuals have regarding acne in this article.

Myth One- Acne is caused if you don’t stay clean, or wash your face. When you believe this myth, and then wash your skin hard and quite a bit, it can actually get your acne inflame. Acne is not the result of dirt or surface skin oils.

Myth Two- Acne is caused by what you eat. There isn't any scientific proof. Scientists have researched the following and found out no link among what you eat and acne. Pizza, French fries, chocolate, soda, fried foods, or some other food, none of them trigger acne or affect acne by any means. On the other hand having healthy foods is beneficial for everybody, acne related or not.

Myth Three- Acne is due to stress. Researchers have concluded that the ordinary everyday stress can not be a factor. Although there are several medications that could attribute to acne to be a side effect of the medication.

Myth Four- Acne is a cosmetic disease. Acne is a skin disease that has an effect on men and also women. In severe conditions the lesions could leave marks. Researchers don't place it in the cosmetic disease type, but in skin disease category.

Myth Five- You just have to let acne run its course. You will grow out of it, just a truth of life. The fact is, a lot instances of Acne could be cleared up. When you ignore it and do nothing, then yes, it takes a bit longer to clear up. Or, occasionally the acne lesions become severe which often leads to scarring.

If over the counter medications haven’t worked, attending a physician or dermatologist is suggested. Though researchers haven’t found a cure for acne, or pinpointed exactly why men and women get acne, with all the medications currently available, there isn't a reason why people should suffer from acne as much, or the scarring it can cause.

Toxins and Immune Function

2008-08-18T10:58:00.000-07:00

Progressive accumulation of poisons in the body and blood can grossly compromise our
immune systems. Each of us is in a constant state of war with billions of creatures – bacteria,viruses, fungi, and parasites – on us, around us, and in us – that threaten to give us an infection that can compromise how we feel, and quite possibly shorten how long we live. We are in the midst of a huge pandemic that is largely ignored by the traditional medical community. As many as 75% of Americans suffer from some form of bacterial, viral, fungal, or parasitic infection, which can manifest as:

• fatigue
• chronic sinus infection
• asthma
• allergies
• skin conditions such as eczema, psoriasis, acne and rosacea
• ulcers
• sexually transmitted diseases
• urinary tract infections
• frequent colds or flu
• recurring bronchitis and pneumonia
• recurring ear infections
• dental problems, such as gingivitis, bad breath, or abscesses
• food poisoning
• and more!

New research suggests that infections may be a possible mechanism for heart disease andcancer – today's most virulent killers. In short, infections that compromise our immunity maywell be the trigger that accelerates the onset and/or progression of the chronic degenerativediseases of aging. Infections agents may well be the singlemost important yet undiscovered cause of premature aging and the chronic degenerative disorders of aging that now plague Americans –Alzheimer's, arthritis, cancer, fatigue, heart disease, memory loss, and more. Low-grade, undetected, untreated infections may shave 20 years or more off of your active and productive lifespan, and rob you of a lifetime of bountiful energy and happiness. “What you don’t know CAN hurt you.” Thus, we offer this work to assist you in understanding and implementing a safe and efficacious program of detoxification to optimize your immune function and beat back the bugs

Compounds in Black Tea Protective Against Diabetes

2008-08-04T09:20:00.000-07:00

Amy Cameron, from the University of Dundee (Scotland), and colleagues have discovered that black tea mimics insulin and may help prevent Type 2 diabetes. Specifically, two compounds present in black tea, theaflavins and thearubigins, were found to affect insulin-like signaling of a transcription factor that regulates aging in response to dietary factors. The team is hopeful that their findings lead to the future identification of dietary interventions to treat or defer Type 2 diabetes.

In Europe, 19 million people -- 4% of the total population -- has Type 2 diabetes. The condition affects more than 20 million people, or 7% of the total population, in the United States. Tea is second only to water as the most popular drink around the world. This study offers a unique research pathway to potentially utilize the ubiquity of tea to beneficially impact the onset of diabetes."

Physical Job Activity Reduces Prostate Cancer Risk

2008-07-29T13:47:00.000-07:00

Previous studies have suggested that physical activity decreases the risk of certain cancers. Working in a job that requires a continuous level of high physical effort may decrease the likelihood of a man to develop prostate cancer. Anusha Krishnadasan, from the University of California, Los Angeles (USA) compared the physical activity of 392 workers who developed prostate cancer with 1,805 men similarly employed and of similar age. Amongst a group; of aerospace workers,the majority -- 64% - were involved in work that required sustained and high levels of physical activity; among this group, the odds for prostate cancer was 45% lower than that of less active coworkers. Amongst a group of nuclear power workers, only 34% of whom were involved in physically demanding work on a continual basis, the odds for prostate cancer did not differ with respect to physical activity levels. The researchers suggest that the difference in the level of physical activity -- that is, if it is sustained or intermittent -- may explain the difference in prostate cancer risk.

This study provides an interesting glimpse into the beneficial value of continual or prolonged occupationally based physical activity. Coupled with other studies that demonstrate the benefits of leisure-time physical activity, it is difficult to ignore the evidence regarding the role of regular physical activity to ward off disease.

Daily Ginkgo Reduces Memory Difficulties

2008-07-28T08:15:00.000-07:00

Ginkgo biloba extract (GBE), derived from the leaves of the ginkgo tree, has been used for thousands of years in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). In a new randomized clinical trial (RCT) conducted by Hiroko Dodge, from Oregon State University (USA), and colleagues, 118 men and women, age 85+, with no memory problems, received either a ginkgo biloba extract (240 mg daily) or placebo for 3 years. In those participants who took the supplement every day as stipulated, the team found a 68% lower risk of the development of memory problems during the study period. Ginkgo contains potent antioxidants called flavoglycosides that have been shown to have neuroprotective effects.
A number of previous clinical trials have suggested long-term improvements in cognitive function in older adults with dementia, though several other studies have shown no such benefits. This is the first randomized clinical trial (RCT) to report clear dementia preventive results of ginkgo extract among older study subjects, and as such this study suggests a strong protective benefit for the compound

Apples Ward Off Colon Cancer

2008-07-21T06:44:00.001-07:00

Dieter Schrenk , from the University of Kaiserslautern (Germany), and colleagues, have found that apple pectin and apple juice are high in a compound known as butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid. Butyrate not only contributes to the maintenance of healthy colon tissue, but the team found the compound exerts an anti-cancer effect on the colon, by inhibiting the enzymes necessary for tumors to develop.\

Colorectal cancer is the fourth commonest form of cancer occurring worldwide. Most prevalent in industrialized countries, colorectal cancer represents 12.6% of all incident cancer in westernized nations in men and 14.1% in women. Many researchers believe that a majority of colorectal cancer cases are a result of dietary factors, such as a lack of adequate daily fruit and vegetable consumption. This study is promising in its identification of a simple, adoptable dietary habit that may offer protection against colon cancer

Problem Anger is Endemic and Ignored

2008-07-16T07:33:00.000-07:00

The Mental Health Foundation (United Kingdom) reports that problem anger is often left unaddressed. The Boiling Point Report says chronic and intense anger is linked to heart disease, cancer, stroke, colds and fly, as well as depression, self-harm, and substance misuse. The Foundation suggests intervention comes too late and that we could save many lives from being damaged if the situation is tackled earlier. Comments Andrew McCulloch, Chief Executive of the Mental Health Foundation: "Some experts think that rapid social changes over the last few decades are leading to an increase in mental and emotional health problems, such as problem anger."

Anger is a vital emotion, essential to our survival. But when it becomes a routine part of everyday life and interferes with thinking, feeling, and behaviors, problem anger causes misery for the individual and those around them. Psychological health is an important component of the anti-aging lifestyle, and people need to fill their lives with positive emotions rather than destructive ones.

Obesity Linked to Rise in Stroke Rates in Women

2008-07-15T12:41:00.000-07:00

Previously, an analysis of stroke prevalence rates in the United States from 199 to 2004 revealed that middle-aged women (ages 35 to 54) were more than twice as likely as men of similar age to have a stroke. Amytis Towfighi, from the University of Southern California (USA), and colleagues analyzed data from women who participated in selected timeframes of the National Health and Nutrition Surveys (NHANES) study. The team found that 1.79% of women ages 35 to 54 who participated in the more recent NHANES study years, versus 0.63% in the earlier survey. The researchers further observed that women in the more recent study were "significantly more obese than women a decade prior," with increased BMI (28.6 versus 27.1) as well as waist circumference (4 centimeters greater), and higher glycated hemoglobin (an indicator of poor blood sugar control).

Abdominal obesity is a known predictor of stroke, especially in women, and extra pounds may be a key factor in the surge in the rates of midlife stroke in this population. This study underscores the importance to intensify efforts to curb the obesity epidemic

Early Retirement May Contribute to Early Death

2008-07-15T11:50:00.000-07:00

Christina Bamia, from the University of Athens (Greece), and colleagues have revealed a connection between early retirement and early death among people who are otherwise in good health. The team studied nearly 17,000 Greek adults, ages 20s to 809s, who were followed for more than 7 years. During that time, the researchers found the number of deaths among retirees was nearly 51% greater than among the same-aged counterparts who were not retired. In particular, early retirement seemed to increase the risk of dying from cardiovascular disease.

For many people, early retirement may bring a higher quality of life, but it may also usher in a number of new negative effects, such as financial concerns, reduction in daily physical activity, or depression. This is the latest among studies that suggest that by keeping both mentally and physically active, we can promote health and longevity.

Vegetable-Rich Diet Slashes Diabetes Risk

2008-07-15T10:28:00.000-07:00

In the latest of studies studing the association between dietary food intake and the incidence of Type 2 diabetes, Raquel Villegas, from Vanderbilt Epidemiology Center (Nashville, Tennessee USA), and colleagues followed over 64,000 women residing in China, ages 40 to 70, for nearly 5 years, assessing their daily fruit and vegetable intakes and the onset of diabetes. Those women who consumed the most vegetables -- averaging 428 grams, or 15 ounces, daily -- had a 28% lower risk of developing the disease.

Vitamin D, the Depression Fighter

2008-07-15T10:06:00.001-07:00

Analyzing data from a study involving 1,282 men and women ages 65 to 95 (participants in the Longitudinal Aging Study Amsterdam), Witte Hoogendijk, from the Vrije Universiteit Medical Center (The Netherlands), and colleagues found that low levels of vitamin D along with higher levels of parathyroid hormone were associated with higher rates of depression. Among those with major and minor depression, blood vitamin D levels were 14% lower, while parathyroid levels were 5% and 33% higher, respectively, as compared to study participants who were not depressive. The researchers comment that by boosting vitamin D intake (either by vitamin supplementation or increased exposure to sunlight), those prone to depression may be able to positively impact their mood.
