Beyond Botox – Reducing Wrinkles With Photonic (LED) And Microcurrent Treatments

April 18th, 2011
Zofia Majak asked:




The human body is a living, constantly regenerating bio-machine. The bio-current keeps our heart beating as well as controlling every other bodily function. It also governs the tone of the muscles and the skin.

The facial skin problems are a reflection of internal imbalance. By treating true causes of facial problems, we can reduce the appearance of wrinkles making the skin to glow and the eyes to shine again.

Western wrinkle reducing techniques focus entirely on symptoms – the wrinkles. The treatments that are based on understanding the energy pathways of the body look at the changes on the face as a reflection of what is happening inside of the body. The microcurrent non-surgical face lift treatments are based on Traditional Chinese Medicine techniques that focus on balancing the body by treating underlying conditions. This approach ensures preservation and improvement to the natural skin tone that can only be explained as the beauty that comes from within.

The effects of Botox and collagen injections begin to wear off the very next day. The bio-current system offers continual results restoring tissue firmness and skin elasticity and improving the texture and complexion of the skin. It works by stimulating the skin to produce new collagen to create volume to boost sagging tissue. This is the ultimate in natural facial rejuvenation, as opposed to muscle paralysis offered by Botox.

The regular home treatments may prove that surgical intervention or injections are not necessary to achieve face rejuvenation. Even simple microcurrent, photonic/ionic devices are very effective in increasing absorption of nutrients, improving lymphatic drainage and improving skin colouration. Every woman should endeavour to preserve their beauty as long as possible by using natural non-invasive techniques first. Even people that don’t have enought time or money can perform their own treatments using mini home devices that bring gentle but consistent improvement to the skin and can postpone dramatic surgical interventions.

Build Lean Muscle Mass Guide to Building a Sculpted Body Fast

April 16th, 2011
David Kamau asked:




It is not just about building mass. You also want a beautiful, sculpted body. Effective ways to build lean muscle mass need not be complicated. The key is to stick with the basics, to avoid overwhelm and what is known as paralysis by analysis.

First, if you want to build lean muscle mass, you should not be afraid to put on some weight. Yes, this may appear to be going against the grain. But you should know that muscle is heavier than weight, and if you are going to gain muscle then you will gain weight.

This article assumes that you utilize or plan to utilize weight training to achieve your mass gaining goals. Here are some tips to build lean muscle mass, whether your goal is to bulk up and/or lose fat:

1. Use compound exercises. This is a tip you will hear over and over again if you hang out at a gym or around experienced lifters. Compound, multi-joint exercises are what builds quality mass. Compound exercises include bench presses, dead lifts, bent over row, squats, shoulder press, barbell curls, and pull ups among others.

2. Don’t train for a marathon. Don’t spend hours on the treadmill. While women tend to spend too much time and energy on aerobic exercises, men spend too little. Utilize anaerobic techniques while performing aerobic routines. This means, for example, upping the speed of the treadmill to a sprint or near sprint for a few seconds and then taking an active rest (walk) and then repeating. Keep varying the speeds and times to avoid boredom.

3. Doing aerobic routines after weight training. If you do aerobic exercises before weight training you will not have enough energy to put in the intensity required for muscle-building when you get to the weights. Also, weight training speeds up your metabolism. Use aerobic routines to burn off extra calories after weight training. Skinny people, this tip is not for you – you may have to skip aerobics altogether in the beginning.

4. Get the Zs. Yes, sleep is of tremendous importance to fitness and muscle gain. This is perhaps the most overlooked aspect of muscle building. Not getting enough of it will make you generally tired and lacking in energy needed for intensive mass-building workouts. You also need sleep for recovery from intense weight training and recuperation which is vital to the building of lean mass. If you want to build lean mass, you should ensure that you are getting adequate, restful sleep.

5. Use free weights. Machines are best left for adding detail to what you have already built, or going beyond your comfort level. For example, after completing your working sets of barbell or dumbbell shoulder presses, you can finish off with, say, two sets of smith machine shoulder presses to really hammer those shoulders. But the core of you lean mass training routine should be composed of free weights.

Tips on Pufferfish Care

April 7th, 2011
Stephen J Broy asked:




Puffer fish are a part of the family Tetraodontidae. There are 19 genera and 121 individual species of puffer fish in this genus. Puffers flourish in the tropical regions of the world. Their numbers decrease substantially in temperate zones and are nonexistent in colder water regions. This species is prevalent in open water as well as the semi-enclosed estuaries of bays and sounds and the brackish water areas of river tidal mouths. Puffers are typically small to medium sized fish. However there are species that can grow up to almost 40 inches in length.

Puffer fish derived their names from the highly elastic qualities of their stomach linings. They have the ability to rapidly inflate their stomach with water until they are almost completely spherical in shape. This purely defensive mechanism serves the dual purpose of making them harder to swallow and giving their would-be predators a reason to take pause and question the size of the prey they have chosen to hunt. Puffers will frequently inflate their stomachs with air when they are suddenly lifted up out of the water. They often experience difficulty expelling this foreign substance form their stomachs. A knowledgeable aquarist will hold the fish by its tail with its head pointed upwards. The fish is then gently shaken until the water escapes from its mouth. Various species of puffer fish are known by the names puffer, blowfish, bubblefish, balloonfish, globefish, swellfish, as well as toadfish, toadies, honey toads, and sea squabs. The later references refer to their course almost sandpaper-like spines.

Puffer fish are the second most poisonous vertebrates in the world in relation to human consumption. They are preceded only by the Golden Poison Frog. Despite the inherent danger, puffer fish are considered exotic delicacies in both Japan and Korea. In Japan puffer flesh is known as fugu, and in Korea, bok. Specially trained chefs are charged with the responsibility of rendering this fish’s toxins harmless for their expecting guests. It should be noted that the toxins found in puffer fish are not nearly as toxic to many marine species as they are to humans.

Puffer fish poisoning is usually the result of improperly prepared dishes. The ingestion of properly prepared puffer fish will result in a light-headed feeling of intoxication and a numbness of the lips and tongue. When improperly prepared; deadening of the lips and tongue, dizziness and vomiting will soon overcome the euphoric effects. These are the initial symptoms of puffer fish poisoning. Progressive symptoms are; a prickling sensation all over the body, an increase in heart rate, a decrease in blood pressure and muscle paralysis. Death most commonly results from suffocation due to the paralysis of the diaphragm.

Most victims of puffer poisoning die within 24 hours. There have been cases or puffer poisoning induced comas that lasted several days. Coma patients often awake to report that they were fully conscious and remember everything that was said and done during the course of their paralysis. Patients who survive the first 24 hours without lapsing into a coma usually make a full recovery. The common treatments for puffer poisoning are stomach pumping and activated charcoal filtration of the blood. Little else can be done with current technological levels.

Because of their toxic qualities puffer fish have been harvested for centuries by Voodoo practitioners. Pharmaceutical companies are researching the toxicological effect of these fish for the advancement of modern medicine. The first of these drugs to be releases is Tectin derived from tetrodotoxin. When administered in small doses this potent medication relieves the chronic pain experienced by many cancer patients. Studies are also being conducted on the use of tetrodotoxin based medication to help in the treatment of opiate withdrawals.

The scientific name, Tetraodontidae, refers to the four large teeth characteristic to every member of this family. Two teeth are fused in the upper and two in the lower plates of these fishes’ jaw bones. In their natural habitat they are used for crushing mollusks and crustaceans. Extreme caution should be exercised in the handling of these fish; not just form potential bite wounds but also from the possibility of toxin seeping into the open wound.
