If women are too much worrying about having wrinkles and unwanted eye bags, men like us are much worried on hair loss. It was said that almost all men are experiencing this kind of condition as they grow older. In worst case scenario, this hair loss may extend into baldness. We don’t want to grow bald right? This is the reason why most men who have seen the sign of hair loss are using some hair loss treatment products. These hair loss treatments include the use of some formulated solution that is being applied onto your hair. There are also some shampoos designated and made to treat hair loss for men. I also remember my dad who used to treat hair loss in a natural way. He makes use of the extracts from Aloe Vera and applies onto his scalp. I also heard in some news before that some people are making use of the “Horse shampoo” as an alternative for their ordinary shampoo knowing that it has an active ingredient that fights hair loss. However, these procedures are very risky and not yet medically tested. So for me, it would be better to use those well trusted and medically proven effective hair loss products.

One of the most common sign of aging is probably the existence of unwanted wrinkles. It is really a big turn off to see the skin of your face starting to sag. But of course, we don’t want to like old right? That is why we should be very thankful that there are so many anti-aging products available in the market. My mom used to buy Anti-aging creams to keep her fresh and make her self feel and look young. Aside from creams, there are also available anti-aging supplements that is said to be working much faster. Another effective way to prevent wrinkles is by using what so-called “wrinkle filler”. Wrinkle fillers are proven effective and powerful wrinkle solution that works better, faster and longer than any other anti-wrinkle products. Another way to treat wrinkles is by undergoing a surgery. However, this option is obviously too expensive and a practical mom will sure realized that it is such a waste of time and money. So preferably, I go for wrinkle fillers and some anti aging products!

Overweight People Have Slow Metabolism?

bluedreamer — Tue, 13 Apr 2010 02:02:28 +0000

Do you believe that overweight people have slow metabolism? Metabolism plays a big role in body weight. People associate being fat with slow metabolism because they believe that fat people digest food slower than normal. I have an overweight cousin which made me really eager to learn more about this “metabolism stuffs”. The surprising truth about this is that the more weight you carry, the faster your metabolism is running. It is because the extra weight causes your body to work harder to sustain itself. So in most instances, the metabolism of overweight people is running a bit faster than thinner people. This may also be the reason why overweight people feel hungry every after eating.

It is also said that metabolism can be influenced by age, gender, proportion of lean body mass and heredity. Generally, men can burn more calories than women. And having more muscles tends to make your metabolic rate faster. Regardless of body weight, there are still people who have faster metabolic rate than others.

Mobile Phones Can Cause Cancer?

bluedreamer — Tue, 06 Apr 2010 17:33:47 +0000

We are now in the modern world and i will not be surprised to know that almost everyone in this world have their own cellular phones. Yesterday, my fellow classmates and i had an intense debate regarding about the harmful effect of cellular phone. I am on the negative site, depending that cellphone has harmful effects to humans. Though i am actually in-favor with the opposite group, i have no choice because it is my teacher who assigned me to be a part of the negative group. The issue that using mobile phones can cause cancer has been the topic of out longstanding debate. Well, it is true that many studies have been conducted to prove and disprove claims regarding their connection. From time to time. from time to time the public is presented with evidence of new found links. The technological advancement of mobile phones has increase exponentially and the same can be said about the innovative procedures developed to treat the world’ most killer disease~ Cancer. But it is still uncertain whether mobile phones can really cause cancer.

There is a theory suggesting that the excessive and abusive use of mobile phones is associated with an increased risk of certain types of cancer. This is because mobile phones emit what we called Radio Frequency energy (thanks to my chemistry teacher for this information), which is a form of electromagnetic radiation. They emit electromagnetic waves or signal, which they claim by others to be the reason of higher cancer risk for users.

While other people were telling that it may also because of the position of the mobile phone when used. When a person uses his cellphone to call, the antenna used to pick up signal is placed near the brain. It is believed that RF energy emitted during conversation affects a person’s brain. As a result,frequent and excessive use of cell phone will increase the risk of developing tumor in the brain.

Over the years, there have been claims and counterclaims regarding this issue. Each time, public is presented in valid and supported arguments (just like what we did) . The use of mobile phones is relatively new. Its popularity does not date back to more than two decades, so long-term effects that are suggested by many researchers are quite questionable (oops, i think i am giving a thumbs up for my opponent here)

However, we can’t overlook the fact that wireless technology is evolving. the number of hands-free devices are increasing, which may contribute to a variation of radiation exposure. Cellphones are not the only source of this radiation. There are other devices that may as well play a big role in this issue. Additional research are needed to put the issue to rest. But while there’s still ongoing debate, we can take precautions and use the device properly.

I am a type of guy who doesn’t trust a product easily. I tried to observe first before purchasing it especially when it comes to hygienic products like facial creams, acne treatment, lotion and more. Before I buy anything, I do some research first to know if I can trust that product or not. I think it is much better than regretting it in the end. If there’s one thing I will never do, that is to take risk in buying such products. When it comes to facial care, I am really careful. I choose the right product for me especially that I have a sensitive skin. My biggest problems are my blemishes. I’m really having a hard time when it comes to blemishes. It really took me a lot of time before they completely removed. I remember one time; someone is promoting a product to me. The product’s name is Murad. I know I heard something about Murad before. According to them, this product will make your blemishes less visible in less than 6 weeks. Amazing right? But we can never tell how true it was so before buying the actual product, I went first to www.muradreview.com to check everything about it. The site provides Murad reviews from its users. It is advisable to drop by first on a site like this before purchasing any product so hat you can have an idea whether to trust the product or not.

Facing the Problem!

There is a joke stating “How will you face a problem, if the problem is your face”. I know it’s just a joke but if you will analyze it carefully, you’ll realize that it is, somehow, true! There are many types of face problems; some of them are minor problems which can be treated by creams and some are major face problems that require surgery. But the most common face problem especially for teenagers is the unstoppable pimples or acne. We can get Acne pimples from the food we eat, dirt and dust carried by wind, stress, and drugs! Acne can also be hereditary. The best way to treat and prevent acne from getting worst is to find the best acne treatments. Luckily, we can now find it online; however, you should not trust any product as easy as that. Buying a product without any knowledge about it is very risky. Consult an expert, search relative information about the product online, check the active ingredients especially if you have a sensitive skin before buying anything.

Antiperspirants may cause Breast Cancer?

bluedreamer — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 08:21:06 +0000

An email that has been making the rounds since 1992 has implicated antiperspirants as a cause of breast cancer. Given that Breast Cancer is the second most common type of cancer and the second most common type of cancer among women, females have every right to worry. But the question remains: Is it True?

The worry revolves around the supposed effects of chemicals used in antiperspirant. Some studies have looked at the role of aluminum-based compounds, while others have focused on a preservative called “parabens” Both produce estrogen-like effects in the body. Estrogen is a female hormone that can promote the growth of the cancer cells. Likewise, using blade razors to shave underarms doesn’t help matters as the chemicals in the antiperspirants can supposedly get into nicks in the skin. (Info taken from a health magazine)

What is known for sure is that all the research studies conducted so far are inconclusive given their inconsistent and contradicting result results. Some were saying that there was no correlation between cancer and the use of antiperspirant while some noted that 400 plus breast cancer survivors who used antiperspirants at a younger age has a diagnosis of breast cancer 22 years earlier than nonusers. However, the latter study met with skepticism due to its statistical weaknesses. So what should we believe?

Whether or not antiperspirants cause breast cancer, the bottom line is that people should not worry too much. While scientific research is still uncertain on the definitive cause of breast cancer, we can at least enjoy sweat and odor free underarms in the mean time!

Staying fit and healthy is one of my goals. My mom taught me everything, since I was a kid, all the proper way of taking care of my self. I am a health conscious guy. I choose what I eat, drink and wear. I think first before doing any action. I exercise regular to stay fit and achieved a satisfying body build. I eat vegetables and fruits and other healthy foods which are very important because they are great source of nutrients that we need for our body. Natural vitamins that we can get from the food we eat are great but not enough that is why I take multivitamin supplements to keep my self healthy. We need vitamins as it helps us physically achieving great strength and stamina. Aside from the physical benefits we can get from natural vitamin or vitamin supplements, it can also help us mentally knowing that vitamin plays a very important role in rapid brain developing (for kids) and prevent memory gap. Live a life in a disease-free, happy living and a healthy life style!

I need To have a Health Savings Account!

bluedreamer — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 07:02:05 +0000

Sorry guys if I failed to update my blog these past few days, I really felt so bad and I just want to lay on my bed the whole day and night. I got cough and colds and it’s very irritating. I took medicine to make me, somehow, feel better. I filed a leave of absence to my office so I can take rest for a week. While I’m enjoying my week-long vacation, I realized one thing that worried me a lot. How if I get a serious illness of disease (hopefully not)? What will I do? Who will pay all my medical expenses? Is my budget fit enough to shoulder everything? I actually asked my mom about this and she advised me to get a health insurance or it would be great to get a health savings account because it is simpler but way better than insurance. I’ve been working since 17 so I guess I am qualified enough to have a health savings account. I don’t want to take the risk of not getting insurance or a savings account because I know I will just regret it in the end.
