It has long been stated that one of the reasons why Mediterranean people are so slim, despite their high fat diet, and why they are also exposed to a lower risk of death by heart disease is the regulate consumption of red wine. The experts agree that a daily intake of wine, mainly the red kind, can actually have a positive effect on one's long term physical condition. Still, the same specialists warn that no one should go for more than one or two glasses of wine ? one for women, two for men ? as the results might be quite the opposite.
Those “in charge” with improving your health are actually the anti-oxidants that can be found in the red wine and, quite predictably, not the alcohol. These substances are polyphenols, anthrocynidins, resveratrol and they are mainly present in grape skin, seeds and twigs. White wine, on the other hand, is not as efficient as the red type, since it is obtained mostly from the pressed juice of the fruit.
The most important is the last anti-oxidant on the list, resveratrol, as many studies have proven that this particular substance actually works wonders with preventing vessels from becoming blocked by blood clots, which would eventually l ead to heart strokes. Investigations carried out lately have demonstrated that heart attack risks for middle-aged men and women drinking red wine actually diminished with 30%-50%. And good news is still to come.
Besides its already proven anti-cancer results, it has also been discovered that resveratrol fights aging, too. It activates a protein called sirtuin, which restores the chromosomes suffering from the severe effects of aging. Scientist still don't know if red wine is the much coveted “fountain of youth,” but still, it is effective in delaying the most dreaded process of growing old.
Drinking red wine has lots of other good results, as it prevents kidney stone formation, and diminishes the occurrence of Alzheimer's disease. It can also be highly recommended to smokers, who suffer from a hardening of the blood vessels.
However, if one would ever imagine that drinking double the wine quantity could actually double the beneficial effects it has on the body, that would be a huge mistake. For instance, the result would be an immediate gain in pounds, as the compounds in the alcohol that the body cannot assimilate will soon turn into carbohydrates ? and not the good kind. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg, as they stay. So be moderate.
Anti-Aging Miracle Physicians Have Been Waiting for is Finally Here Free Book Available From Natural Health News Report Reveals the Secret to Staying Young
BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec 11, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Playing tennis at the age of 90, living well beyond the age of 100 and never looking a day over 60 is now possible. Researchers have discovered the secret to the fountain of youth. And now, this information is available to everyone absolutely free.
The book, written by renowned cardiologist Dr. William Gruss, reveals how red wine extract, Resveratrol and super antioxidants are helping to conquer some of the worst diseases including heart disease, Cancer, Diabetes, Alzheimer's, Obesity and old age. In the book, Dr. Gruss recommends dietary supplements to address the four factors that contribute to aging: genetic breakdown, oxidation, inflammation, and reduced mitochondrial energy.
Researchers at Harvard University proved the benefits of Resveratrol in a recent study. Mice taking the supplement lived an impressive 24% longer than mice not taking Resveratrol. No other compound has ever been shown to extend life span and have such dramatic anti-aging effects.

Geneva (ots) - Swiss-based www.dnartistic.com’s first piece of DNA luxury jewellery will be sold at 1 million CHF and some of the proceeds will be used to finance the anti-aging services and life extension research of sister company www.inneova.com.
Dr. Ivan de Weber, a young Swiss scientist specialized in molecular genetics of aging and co-founder of both Inneova? and DNArtistic has brought together a group of jewellers who work with the world's most exclusive brands including Chopard and Bulgari. They will integrate the DNA and genetic fingerprint of the jewel’s future owner into the object via a fusion of molecular biology and jewellery-making.
DNArtistic already uses the concept of DNA identification to offer its clients DNA-inspired paintings. Similar technology allows clients to explore their ancestral origins at www.dnapast.com.
Inneova?, one of the first companies worldwide, provides adult cell cryobanking services to preserve human cells from the aging process. As cells deteriorate with age, Inneova? allows its adult clients to freeze either their skin or bone cells (for newborns, umbilical cord cells), banking their "youth potential" for use in future anti-aging, rejuvenation and regeneration treatments.
Inneova? also offers the most comprehensive range of predictive genetic tests available worldwide. These screen for risk factors and sensitivity to particular molecules to help physicians recommend further check-ups and optimize the choice of medications, diets, and cosmetics. In association with Knome? Inneova? offers whole genome sequencing, considered the most advanced genetic tool in predictive medicine.

Sagging skin, wrinkles, age spots and fine lines are some of the reasons why skin aging could never be pleasing especially for women. Women are expected, (even obliged actually) to look good and beautiful all the time regardless of her age and daily drama. Thank goodness, there are a lot of anti-aging creams available in the market now which promise anti-aging results in seven days. Well, brace yourselves dear ladies, you can now say buh-bye to those nasty wrinkles in, well… six hours!
Yep ladies, you’ve read it right! Get a younger-looking skin in a matter of six hours! Fuller Life Direct Selling Philippines, one of the country’s top distributors of global brands and the same company that merged Sara Lee and Tupperware Brands Corp. last year, introduces Nekara Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream?a break-through anti-aging product that effectively fights skin aging by repairing and preventing the reappearance of wrinkles and fine lines and delivers results in as fast as six hours.
“We’re excited to launch this revolutionary anti-aging product that’s the only one in the market using combination of effective ingredients with fast-acting technology, proven to show results in the shortest time. Introducing Nekara Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream to our customers reflects Fuller Life’s commitment to continuously bring products that address the needs of today’s women,” said Perry Mogar, president and managing director of Fuller Life Direct Selling.
Nekara, which is the Japanese term for “inspired by nature,” is being sold in the United States under the brand name BeautiControl Regeneration Tight Firm and Fill Face Cream. Now it is being introduced outside North America for the first time, and here in the Philippines. Dr. Stephan C.M. Otten, director of research and development of the Tupperware Brands, asserted that Nekara’s combination of hyaluronic acid and Nano-Active Complex?an exclusive blend of three kinds of peptides?have been tested to deliver desired results.
This Nano-Active Complex recognizes the skin’s needs for more effective and differentiated penetration into the skin. It irons out wrinkles, inhibits muscle action to prevent new expression lines, and promotes cell adhesion for a firmer skin. This special complex, in tandem with the Hyaluronic Filling Spheres, creates the rapid hydration and smoothening of fine lines and wrinkles for improved, younger-looking skin in a matter of hours. Hyaluronic acid has been known as the “key to the fountain of youth” because it moisturizes skin from the inside out, smoothing out wrinkles in the process. HA acts as an internal cosmetic to hydrate the skin. It also provides nutrients and removes waste from cells that do not have a direct blood supply, such as cartilage cells. With a lower than adequate amount of hyaluronic acid, nutrients cannot be moved into these cells and waste cannot be eliminated from cells.
According to Otten, Nekara Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream has been clinically proven to create immediate and long-lasting effects. In a three-month study conducted by experts in the United States and Lyon, France, results showed improvement and visible changes on the test subjects’ skin in terms of suppleness, radiance and smoothness in one-day usage of Nekara. And in just four weeks, these women experienced improved elasticity and disappearance of wrinkles and fine lines. Ninety-four percent of same subjects felt luminosity and radiance within four weeks, and one hundred percent affirmed to have younger-looking skin after eight weeks.
Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski, actress, model, an internationally acclaimed equestrienne, and the face of Nekara, attested the wonderful age-defying effects of Nekara. Her personal favorite ingredient, she said, is the HLA, or hyaluronic acid, which is actually being given to her horses in oral form to keep them in good shape. She then added that, if it’s good for her mount, then it can also be good for her skin. According to Mikee, she has seen the results of Nekara Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream on her skin overnight. Fuller Life Direct Selling has chosen Mikee Cojuangco-Jaworski to embody Nekara because she personifies the women of today who lead busy lifestyles yet can still manage to take care of themselves.
Nekara Anti-Wrinkle Face Cream is available through Fuller Life direct sellers on Oct. 16 for P1,100. Each jar will come with a pair of freshwater pearl earrings.

Sooo many questions were submitted for November's Skin Sense online discussion that Dr. Herschenfeld couldn't answer them in just an hour. So, for December, she chose the ones readers expressed the most concerns about and came up with solutions, including what sunscreens people with really sensitive skin should use, which moisturizers perk up fair, dry black skin and when it's time to go for a laser treatment.
Fairfax, Va.: Hi, Dr. H. I'd like to find cleansing and moisturizing products that will work with my dry skin. What I'm specifically looking for is something that will "perk up" my skin. I have very clear skin but I feel that it looks dull and tired. Any recommendations in the $20-$30 range? If it helps, I'm 20 years old and a very fair black woman. Thanks!
Dr. Herschenfeld: You would probably benefit from some good moisturizers, particularly products incorporating ingredients that can exfoliate and smooth your skin, such as glycolic acid. Some affordable and good products containing glycolic acid include Aqua Glycolic Facial moisturizer, Neutrogena Healthy Skin face lotion, night and MD Formulations Daily Peel Pads. It is also a good idea to incorporate a retinol-containing cream for exfoliation and treating fine lines. Consider Neutrogena Healthy Skin Anti-Wrinkle Intensive Night Cream.
Washington D.C.: I'm a 50-plus white woman with very sensitive, reactive skin -- I've had eczema on my legs for more than 30 years and I get dermatitis from such things as scented detergent and the adhesive on bandaids. Some sunblocks that I've used on my arms have also caused dermatitis; do you know of one that is very non-reactive? Thank you for any help.
Some sunscreens are formulated specifically for people with sensitive skin or multiple allergies. Try Vanicream sunscreen. It comes in different SPFS and with either mineral sunscreens (zinc and titanium) or formulas containing both mineral and organic active ingredients. The entire Vanicream line is designed to be hypoallergenic.
Sterling, Va.: I have a mole on my cheek. I have no desire to remove it, but it does sport a few unsightly, stiff hairs. Sometimes when I pluck them, the mole or the area around it becomes irritated. Is it safe to pluck hairs growing out of a mole or should I try another method, such as laser hair removal by a doctor?
It is safe to pluck hairs from a mole, but it can be irritating. Options for more long lasting removal of these bothersome hairs include electrolysis and laser hair removal. Electrolysis can be challenging if you have been plucking for a while since this can distort the hair follicle and make it difficult for the electrologist to insert the needle to destroy the hair root. Also, most electrologists will not treat hair in a mole without a note from a physician stating that it is safe to do so. Laser hair removal is a good option only if the hair is dark.
Boston, Mass.: I am 44 years old and have very nice skin. I am not interested in Botox because I think it looks too fake or plastic. I am interested in having some laser treatments around my eyes and forehead to reduce some of the smile lines I have. Is there a laser that you can recommend that helps to stimulate collagen production and will work on reducing the wrinkles when I smile?
There are lasers that can improve wrinkles on the forehead and around the eyes, and they work best on fine lines. Lasers improve wrinkles by tightening collagen and stimulating collagen formation. Fractional resurfacing lasers, such as Fraxel Re:store and Re:pair, are more effective than many of the older lasers used for wrinkles. In addition to treating fine lines, Fraxel lasers can even out pigmentation and reduce redness. However, laser treatment does not address the dynamic component of lines and wrinkles, meaning that it may not reduce the lines that are formed when you smile or frown. Botox is often better for this.
Potomac, Md.: Hello Dr. Rachel. I'm from India and suffer from under-eye dark circles, which increase or reduce in darkness but never go away. Is it hereditary? Or is it just pure inflammation? Can you recommend a good concealer which is good for the skin as well? Otherwise my face has pretty even skin tone. Thanks for your advice.
Heredity certainly plays a role in under-eye circles. They seem to result from a combination of factors including increased pigmentation in this area in some people, and also from shadows in the hollow area that develops under the eyes with age as the skin and tissue underneath it thin. Concealers are somewhat helpful, but filling in the hollow area with a product such as Juvederm or Restylane is often more effective.
Washington, D.C.: Hello Dr. Rachel! I'm so grateful that you're having this chat! I am 28 and have noticed that the wrinkles on my forehead have become more pronounced, even when I put on extra moisturizer (Clinique brand) and try to stay more hydrated. It's not working. I have fair skin and use a daily sunblock (SPF 40). Is there a way to combat this? I feel like I'm too young to already be developing wrinkles this pronounced. Thank you so much.
There are effective topical treatments for fine facial wrinkles that you can add to your regimen. Sunscreen and moisturizer are a good start. I would consider adding moisturizer with glycolic acid, as I mentioned above, as well as a night cream with retinol. You may also want to consider seeing a dermatologist to get a prescription for a cream containing tretinoin. Also, avoid too much sun exposure. If these interventions don't do enough for you, it may be time to consider a laser treatment such as Fraxel, or Botox for your forehead.
Bethesda, Md.: I recently saw a dermatologist who wanted to prescribe the Obagi (ttp://http://www.obagi.com/article/homepage.html) system. I have a few dark spots and freckles, but overall I think my skin is OK. Is there a less expensive alternative? I asked the dermatologist and she said there is nothing commercially available to rival the Obagi or an expensive anti-age serum she sells. Or should I seek another dermatologist's opinion?
Well, here's another dermatologist's opinion! There is nothing unique about the Obagi system. The two main active ingredients it uses can be found in other products. Hydroquinone is present in many fading creams; prescription products generally containing a more effective, higher concentration than over-the-counter products. Tretinoin is the active ingredient in RetinA and Atralin and is also available as a generic product. You could certainly use creams containing these active ingredients without purchasing the entire Obagi system, but you would still need to obtain prescriptions, and the creams tend to be expensive. There are even creams available, such as TriLuma, that combine these ingredients in one product. As for the anti-aging serum, it is hard to comment without knowing the active ingredients, but chances are alternatives are available.
There are effective over-the-counter anti-aging skin products, and I recommend the same ingredients for young women of color as for lighter skinned women, since these are the ones that have been proved most effective. Retinol, or its relative, retinaldehyde, can be found in over-the-counter products. Some of my favorite retinol-containing products include LaRoche Posay Biomedic and Skin Medica Retinol Complex. Retinaldehyde, which may be more gentle, can be found in Avene Eluage or Retrinal creams. I also recommend glycolic acid products, such as Skin Medica AHA/BHA cream, and Aqua Glycolic facial moisturizer.
Boston, Mass.: I am a fair-skinned woman in her 30s and I'm already seeing little red veins around my nose! I can typically cover them with makeup but is there any treatment to get rid of them?
Laser treatments are usually very effective for veins around the nose. I would recommend considering treatment with a laser such as the VBeam or KTP, which are both ideal for targeting blood vessels.
Washington, D.C.: What's your take on Radiesse? I've read somewhere that since it doesn't dissolve naturally, you can be left with big lumps and bumps after treatment.
Radiesse is a filler that contains small spheres of a mineral called calcium hydroxylapetite. Radiesse provides a long-lasting effect because the tiny mineral particles stimulate collagen formation. It can do a great job filling folds between the mouth and the nose, and is also used to provide volume in the cheeks and around the chin. When it is injected properly by an experienced injector it is very unlikely to lead to the formation of big lumps. I would recommend seeking treatment only from a physician with experience using this filler. Unfortunately, no filler product is perfect, and it is possible to get lumps from any filler product that is not injected properly, and even sometimes from products that are used properly.
How To Get Enough Anti Aging Foods In Your Diet For Younger Looking Skin
Even if you consume the proper balance of protein and carbohydrates, limiting your sugars, and eating a well balanced diet, you can do more to improve the rate of aging and to get younger looking skin.
If you really want to gain the most antiaging benefits from your diet, you need to increase the amount of essential fatty acids (omega 3 and 6) as well as vitamin C to reverse skin aging.
Eating a good mix of fruits and vegetables and consuming proteins including fish, you are already getting these two important nutrients. However, increasing your intake of them certainly won't hurt.
Vitamin C is an important nutrient when it comes to skin health because it increases the production of collagen in your skin. This substance prevents your skin from aging because it kept your skin appearing supple and youthful.
This powerful nutrient also acts as an antioxidant. This fights and eliminates the free radicals that enter your skin and degrade its quality.
While vitamin C can be found in many different foods, here are a few different ways you can give your diet a super antiaging boost.
Instead of selecting pale fruits and vegetables such as russet potatoes, select brightly colored foods to increase your vitamin C. This can include oranges, lemons, red peppers, and yellow peppers as well. As a general rule of thumb, the more colorful your diet, the higher your intake of valuable vitamins and minerals including antioxidants like vitamin C.
Each time you plan a meal, try to alter them so that they include a higher amount of vitamin C. You can substitute milk for orange juice, for example. You could make a salad and boost its antioxidant by adding mandarin orange slices or bell pepper.
For dinner, forgo the usual meal and try a broccoli and pepper stir fry.
The benefits of omega 3 and omega 6 are certainly no secret. They are essential to your overall health and well-being as well as wrinkle free skin.
A low fat diet is healthy for you, but unfortunately, it is also cutting your body's supply of these essential fatty acids. These nutrients are found in foods such as flaxseed, oils, fatty fish, and some fortified foods.
If you are wondering how you can increase the amount of omega 3 and 6 in your diet, here are a few ideas.
When it comes to breakfast, flaxseed is a great addition to your favorite morning muffin. You can also fry your egg in a bit of olive oil.
Lunch time is another great opportunity to boost your fatty acid intake. Add walnut oil vinaigrette and some salmon to your salad lunch, or ditch the salad for a healthy tuna salad sandwich on fresh whole wheat bread. Forget the chips and you will have a healthy, antiaging lunch.
At dinner, add a salad with walnut or safflower oil based homemade dressing and eat more salmon and tuna. You can further increase your intake of fatty acids by snacking on pumpkin seeds for your evening snack.
It really isn't difficult to increase your intake of these nutrients and it doesn't require any significant changes. Just a few small adjustments and your skin will show you how happy it is, and to get younger looking skin.
