Reduce Wrinkles!
May 2, 2008
The battle scars of age are "WRINKLES" that show the wisdom and experience that can only come with time. To many, though, they are simply a sign of getting older and are not welcomed at all. Wrinkles have numerous causes. Some wrinkles can be avoided, while others are simply an unavoidable act of nature. There are many ways to protect the skin from developing excessive wrinkles and lessen the effect of the unavoidable wrinkles.
Skin looses its firmness as people age due to a reduction in collagen and eslastin. This loosening is one of the main causes of wrinkles and can not be completely avoided. There are some wrinkle causing factors, like environment and habits that can be avoided. The following list explains different ways a person can avoid or reduce the appearance of wrinkles.
Do not smoke: Smoking reduces the production of collagen. In addition to the natural reduction in collagen that comes with age, even more reduction leads to even more wrinkles. Read more
Honey can improve memory during ageing
September 17, 2007
Worried over ageing? Just start taking a spoonful of honey every day. Yes, according to scientists, honey could help counter the effects of ageing and decrease anxiety. “Diets sweetened with honey may be beneficial in decreasing anxiety and improving memory during ageing,” Nicola Starkey of the University of Waikato in New Zealand told the British daily.
According to her, this could be due to the antioxidant properties of honey. In fact, Starkey and Lynne Chepulis of the same university came to the conclusion after they conducted their tests on rodents. They raised them on diets of ten per cent honey, eight per cent sucrose or no sugar at all for a year. The rats were two months old at the start of the trial, and were assessed every three months using tests designed to measure anxiety and spatial memory. The honey-fed rats spent almost twice as much time in the open sections of an assessment maze then sucrose-fed rats, suggesting they were less anxious.
