Longevity Linked with Sleep

Studies at UNiversity College of London, have found and proven that sleep deprived people age faster than those that catch enough Zzzzz’s. This new study has determined that lack of sleep will actually age the brain. Researchers asked study participants on average how much sleep they get each night, then reconnected with those same people and asked them 5 years later how much sleep they got on average. The people whose sleep actually decreased showed signs of age more than those who got enough sleep. The sleep deprived had a mental deficiency decline during cognitive testing that was equal to four to seven years of aging. Sleep regenerates neurons in the brain enabling the brain to function optimally. So how much sleep do people need in general? Six to eight hours is Key to great mental health.

Keeping your age a mystery

KEEP YOUR AGE A MYSTERY by Dr.Joe Chang

“So why do some people look younger and some people look older than their actual age? Well the team at NuSkin has been researching this exact question for years. Did you know that across the globe people feel that the biggest anti-aging question in their mind is not “Why do we get wrinkles?” or “How do our bodies lose the grip on gravity’s pull?” but rather “Why do some people look younger than their real age?”

Most often, looking young is attributed to people having good genes, but if it’s all in the genes, then aging is inevitable and you can’t do anything to change it. That answer has never been acceptable to me, so our team has delved deeply into the molecular mechanisms of aging and has learned something can be done about aging at the genetic level. It’s not about changing the genes, it’s about influencing gene expression.

IT IS IN THE GENES, JUST NOT THE WAY YOU’VE THOUGHT

When someone looks pretty, handsome, or younger than their age, your grandmother or mother would shrug and say, “Oh, she just has good genes.” And they are partly right, everyone has good genes, but the key is how your genes are being expressed. Your genes are your genes and they are fixed. They can’t be altered.

But when it comes to looking younger than your age, what scientists have discovered is that it’s not about altering the genes, but about something called youthful gene expression.”

Youth Gene Expression Before and After

NuSkin has found a way to change your gene expression. Our products target the mitochondria, the brains in our cells, that cause us to age and reverse them to a more youthful state causing us to appear younger and feel healthier, more vibrant and have more vitality.

Quinoa – Most Amazing Grain

An ancient food, revered for thousands of years in the South American Andes is gaining a new-found following among health-conscious consumers around the world.  Quinoa(pronounced keen-wah) – for a long time considered “comida de pobres” or “poor people’s food” even in its native countries – is exploding in popularity as a nutritional superfood, gluten-free and high in protein, vitamins, and minerals.

Supporting Inca Armies

During Inca times, quinoa was considered the second most important crop, after potatoes and before corn.  They believed it was sacred and called it the “Mother of all Grains,” with the Inca king ceremonially planting each year’s first seed using a solid gold shovel.  Their powerful armies conquered huge swathes of South America, marching for days at a time over high mountain ranges, sometimes eating nothing but a mixture of quinoa and fat called “war balls.”

Rise and Fall

After the Spanish arrived in the New World, quinoa was outlawed and replaced by wheat.  Peasants in remote mountain regions continued to grow it secretly, but it retained the stigma as food for the poor long after the Spanish had left.

It was relatively unknown in the US until the 1980s, when scientists and nutritionists started researching indigenous crops which could be adapted to modern agricultural needs.  In the past 20 years, it has grown in popularity from an obscure health-food item, to a widely-available product found in most supermarkets in the form of quinoa grains, flour, pasta, and cereal.

Now, with global demand up and the price of wholesale quinoa skyrocketing, poor farmers in developing countries like Peru and Bolivia are cashing in on this recently rediscovered crop.  Some even believe quinoa could be the key to lifting struggling mountainous regions out of years of persistent poverty.

Nutritional Benefits

The Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) has identified quinoa as the only vegetable source that is a complete protein, meaning it has all the essential amino acids necessary for human health and development.  It resembles the sort of proteins found in animal sources and has the same nutritional profile as milk.

Quinoa is an easily-digestible food, which is gluten-free, and an excellent source of several B Vitamins, along with most of the minerals needed by the human body – iron, calcium, potassium, zinc, magnesium, and copper.

Technically not a grain – it’s actually a seed about the same size as sesame seeds – it has a nutty and earthy taste, with a chewy texture.  It cooks quickly, in about 15 minutes, and makes a great substitute for rice.

Brows and What They Say

Brows are the first thing people will notice about your face, even if it’s subconsciously. A thick heavy brow will bring attention to just the brows. While a pencil thin brow will take attention off of the top half

of the face and onto the lower part. The place that you want people to focus should always be the eyes themselves, becuse they are the windows to your soul. Having a well groomed brow will do just that, bringing the attention to your eyes and serving as a frame for the entire face.

Even if you’re not big on makeup, maintaining your brows are essential. Having an unkempt brow is just out of the question. A brow that has too many stray hairs out of the natural arch line can leave its owner looking as if they don’t care about how they look, or have just given up. A naturally thick bushy brow that’s left in its natural state can make even the most feminine face look masculine. And the dreaded uni-brow just leaves everyone looking frightful.

On the flip side, the thin overly arched brow of the past few years is just as awful a makeup crime. It can make a woman look outdated and washed out especially if her brows are blonde or light brown. It’s almost a requirement that she wears makeup with that kind of brow, because the look is quite severe and will age every wearer, since people’s brows naturally thin as they get older.

The brow that is in now, falls somewhere in between the pencil thin brow and the one nature gave you. It follows your natural arch instead of carving out a whole new one, and takes away those stray hairs that grow past it. It’s simple and not as high maintenance as the overly arched brow. It will also frame your face the best, because the arch you were born with is right will define your features best. Another perk to this brow is that you can run out of the house with no makeup on and still look presentable and fresh.

To achieve this brow, you might want to see a pro for a shaping first, especially if you’ve been plucking against your natural arch and aren’t sure where to start. Later when it grows in you can do the upkeep yourself.

New Years Resolutions

As with most every American, when January 1 comes a new slew of New Years Resolutions.  These promises we make to ourselves are more often broken then fulfilled. In order to help move mine along, I made a checklist that I posted on my bathroom mirror to remind myself of them each morning.  The problem is knowing me, eventually those little stickies will just be looked through as though they did not even exist.  So I stuck those stickies all over my house!  They should suffice until they all start getting un-sticky falling to the ground and I find them attached to my dogs feet.

The stickies about dieting were on my fridge.  The ones about using my Galvanic spa 2-3 times a week were on my bathroom mirror.  Even the ones about this blogging challenge I am going to try to do is posted all over my office walls and on my computer screen!  Being in my  (cough cough) mid forties, I know for a fact that every year I have made those promises to myself on January 1, they have almost always been broken.  Obviously I have not taken the New Years Resolution stuff too seriously in the past, but this year I am determined!  Now let’s just see how long it will last. HA!

Do you make New Years Resolutions?   Curious to know how many of us actually keep them, and if so for approximately how long?

Making Fish Oil Twice as Effective for Weight Loss

Oh No! Summer is coming and bating suit season is just about here.  What do we do with those extra stubborn pounds that we cannot seem to lose?  Taking fish oil as well as making minor adjustments…yes I said MINOR, to your menu can help you shed those pounds before D-DAY.  Many people tell you that taking fish oil capsules everyday can help improve a variety of health issues and prevent certain diseases from occurring.  However, is your fish oil enough to accomplish all of that?  After doing a bunch of research from a variety of resources I came upon something that can actually help enhance the effects of fish oil making it more effective.  By combining high dose fish oil supplements with the Zone Diet can help you see results twice as fast, both in improving overall health as well as losing weight.  Keep in mind that fish oil does have a blood thinning effect, so check with your doctor before taking high doses.

1.  Replace Omega-6 Fats with Monosaturated Fats.  Instead of eating corn, soybean, sunflower and safflower oils, have extra virgin olive and sesame oils, nuts, seeds, nut butters and avocados.  The switch of simply changing your fats greatly reduces the bodys ability to create fat by depriving the toxic fat of its basic building blocks – omega-6 fats. Weight loss could be kick started in as little as three days!

2.  Reach for low-glycemic foods.  High glycemic foods increase insulin by the body which causes weight gain.  Reducing your high glycemic food carbs and starchy veggies such as corn, potatoes and peas, can cut insulin by up to 22%.  Thats been proven to help women in particular lose 10 pounds in 14 days!

3.  Include protein in every meal.  By doing so will increase the release of pancreatic polypepide, a hormone that promotes a feeling of fullness.  Protein rich foods stimulate the pancreas to release a hormone that encourages the burning of stored fat for energy.  A great way t burn calories without being on a restricted diet.

Some people feel overwhelmed when they think of “dieting” or having to change the way they eat in order to lose the weight.  Well below is a sample menu of what you may want to incorporate into your menu to help kick start the process.

Sample Day to Slimdown

Breakfast – Try scrambled eggs made with 2 eggs and 4 egg whites or 1/2 Cup egg substitute, 3/4 tsp. olive oil and 1 tsp. milk (can use non-fat).  3 strips of turkey bacon, 1/2 slice of rye toast with 1 tsp. natural peanut butter, 1 Cup of grapes.

Lunch – 1 halved whole wheat mini pita topped with tomato sauce, 3 oz. lean ground beef sauteed with bell peppers and onions, and 1 oz. low fat cheese (broil until melted), side of lettuce and fresh veggies with olive oil and vinegar.

Snack – 1oz. part skim mozzarella string cheese, 1/2 apple with 1/2 tsp natural peanut butter.

Dinner – 3oz. chicken cutlet with 1/2 Cup of salsa, 3 Tbs. guacamole and sprinkle low fat cheese, 1 1/2 Cups green beans and 1 Cup of berries.

Snack – 4oz. wine, 1oz. cheese

The NuSkin Galvanic Spa Reviewed

NuSkin Galvanic Spa

My mother always says “You’re only as old as you feel.” I don’t mean to dampen anyone’s spirits but wouldn’t it be a lot easier to believe in that if you didn’t discover a new wrinkle or fine line every time you looked into the mirror? Can fifty really be the new thirty? As usual, my inner nerd needed to find an answer and my search led me to the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa. Could this be it? Mankind’s leap forward to take aging one step backward? Read on to find out…

First things first, I had to figure out how safe (or not!) the usage of electric current on the delicate surface of facial skin is. Turns out, galvanic current has been used in spas worldwide for over 50 years. And just in case you were wondering, it is pain-free. Phew!

Also at first glance, the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa seemed a little too complex for me. What were those attachments? Those gels? Positive and negative polarities? It sort of reminded me of my horror school days. Let me reassure you though, it’s not as complicated as you think it is.

What it contains:

The Nu Skin Galvanic Spa consists of a device with four interchangeable conductors: the ageLOC face conductor, Spot treatment conductor for concentrated treatment to specific areas, a scalp conductor and a body conductor. Also included are two specially formulated gels with ageLOC. What exactly is ageLOc? Let’s just call it a revolutionary blend of ingredients that target the source of aging in skin and stop it, a little bit like a super-hero don’t you think? 😀 While the current stimulates cell rejuvenation in your face, body and scalp,the gels help eliminate toxins and impurities from your skin and minimize your pores and allow them to breathe.

The process:

Before the actual process, remember to wash your face and dry it. Also, let your hands be moist. Next comes the Pre-treatment step. Apply the gel and use your face conductor on it. During this step, the spa instrument and the the pre-treatment gel are negatively charged.The negative charges repel each other and drive the pre-treatment gel into the skin.

Next comes the treatment step. Apply the treatment gel and follow the same process. This time, the galvanic spa instrument and the treatment gel are positively charged. Again, they repel each other and drive the gel into the skin.

Wash your face when the gel dries, and look into the mirror…instant younger, healthy looking skin!

The Ingredients:

Now I’m pretty anal about anything that I consider applying on my face. I need to know all the ingredients involved…just in case. So the pre treatment gel containining Marigold, sea kelp and vanilla extracts delivers some much needed nutrients to your parched skin, soothing it and getting rid of stress. The treatment gel contains magnesium which promotoes cellular energy, Arginine which helps skin recover from stress, Aspartate which balances your skin’s pH and Tocopheryl nicotinate, a form of vitamin E, which helps moisturize, condition and provide antioxidant protection. Ah divine!

Complementary Products:

You can also use the Glavanic Spa Body Shaping Gel which works with the instrument and body conductor to target fat and toxins for a firmer, more toned appearance. Adios cellulite! (I think my mom is going to like this one the best) and for your hair, the Nutriol Hair Fitness Treatment which contains a seaweed derivative thanks to which your hair will seem more luxuriously voluminous than ever before!

And finally:

The Nu Skin Galvanic Spa delivers customized levels of intensity, since not every person needs the same level of current. This way, each user can achieve the best possible results for herself. The best part is that the instrument itself decides the optimum current level for your skin. Big big plus for a goofball like me 🙂

Now tell me, do you know of any other instrument that can take care of so many needs in one go? I didn’t think so.

And if all that isn’t enough, just remember, the biggest advantage of the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa is that it’s like bringing a spa home. Let’s face it, in between looking after the kids, working, cooking, grocery shopping and other household chores, who has the time to visit a spa?

Also, when you really think about the thousands of dollars you would spend at weekly or even monthly spa treatments and cosmetic surgeries, the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa actually becomes the more affordable option. It’s also small, light and easy to carry around so you don’t have to leave it behind even when you travel.

And last but not the least, clinical studies show that the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa System makes your skin care regimen upto 70% more effective!!! I can’t argue with that kind of science.

Looks like I’ve found my mom a birthday present! Let’s face it are you going to look 24 again by using the Nu Skin Galvanic Spa? Probably not! But you can look eons younger than what you actually are. Wouldn’t you want people to be surprised when you reveal your actual age? The Nu Skin Galvanic Spa can actually give you that satisfaction. Here’s to fewer wrinkles, younger skin and a fabulous life! Btw, I would love to know your personal experiences with the Galvanic Spa.
