Monavie is creating a lot of positive press with their premium acai berry blend. The acai berry is quickly causing a stir around the globe. It is getting world wide press from celebrities, athletes, talk show hosts and an array of media channels. On Oprah’s website you will see that Dr. Nicholas Perricone has the acai berry listed as the worlds top super food.

Dr. Perricone says “studies have shown that this little berry is one of the most nutritious and powerful foods in the world!”

He also says, “our cells use oxygen to produce energy and they generate free radicals as a by product of this and many other metabolic functions like circulation and digestion. Free radicals are also produced by sunlight, toxins such as pesticides, cigarette smoke and air pollution. Free radicals are without question the central players in the aging process.”

[The Oprah Winfrey Show] – February 5, 2008 – On February 5, 2008, Dr. Oz appeared on The Oprah Winfrey Show and, among other things, spoke of the highly nutritious acai berry. Listed on his ‘Ultimate Anti-Aging Checklist’, Dr. Oz said he is ready to add the acai to his hall of fame of antioxidant rich foods.

‘It has twice the antioxidant content of a blueberry,’ Dr. Oz said. ‘It’s just breaking through.’

[CBS The Doctors] – January 7,2009 – The Doctors, a daytime talk show delivering up-to-the-minute information from a panel of four practicing medical professionals, featured the acai berry and MonaVie in a segment on the top 10 health trends for 2009. The acai berry ranked at No. 7 on the list, and according to the hosts: this miracle berry is made into a juice that is high in antioxidants.

[Salt Lake City, UT] -April 23, 2009 – MonaVie announces for the second year in a row its partnership with the Boston Red Sox, the 2007 World Champions, which makes MonaVie an official juice of the Major League Baseball team. ‘We’re proud to continue our relationship with MonaVie for a second season,’ says Red Sox Chief Sales and Marketing Officer Sam Kennedy. ‘MonaVie’s commitment to growth in their category and excellence in the marketplace makes them valued partners of the Boston Red Sox.’ The sponsorship agreement supports MonaVie’s mission and focus on health and wellness. ‘We are thrilled to be associated with the Boston Red Sox,’ says MonaVie Founder and President Dallin Larsen. ‘It is no coincidence that we are partnering with a team that clearly demonstrates a dedication to achievement and a winning attitude.’

From weight loss to increased energy, improved digestive system health to cardiovascular benefits, the Acai Berry is said to do it all. Acai Pills have made all these benefits available in an easy to access, and easy to ingest package.

The Acai went from relative anonymity to stardom (literally) in the last few years. Movie stars and all kinds of celebrities have been touting the weight loss and health benefits of this amazing berry. Why had we not heard of this “super food” before?

The fact is that the multitude of benefits from this berry diminish very quickly shortly after harvest. It made it impossible to maintain these benefits through the transit period from the Amazon forest of Brazil to the final destination. By the time it got there, it was no more than a regular berry from a Palm tree.

Thanks to modern technology, we are now able to benefit from the health effects of Acai regardless of where we are. Freeze drying, flash freezing and other methods have made the benefits accessible to the whole world. Today, you can use a pill, or drink a juice and enjoy all the health benefits as if it had just come from the tree, thousands of miles away.

With an acai pill, you could enjoy the following benefits for weight loss and general health:

- High Fiber content: Fiber travels through the digestive system. Along the way it washes away toxins and bad cholesterol like a tidal wave. This leaves your digestive tract free of harmful materials that have collected there for years. A cleaner digestive system allows for more efficient absorption of essential nutrients. Fiber also makes you feel full which makes you eat less.

- High level of Antioxidants: Antioxidants are nature’s weapon against free radicals. Free radicals basically cause deterioration of cells, aging and other unwanted effects. Acai’s antioxidants combat these free radicals to keep us healthier for longer. These antioxidants have also been shown to promote cardiovascular health. This is a must for continued well-being and a healthy life.

- Increase metabolism: The Acai is said to increase the metabolism. This allows the body to burn more calories therefore assisting in weight loss as well. High energy levels have been reported as well, making it easier to go through hectic schedules.

There are many more benefits than the ones listed here. The power of Acai has been brought to our doorstep thanks to great advances in technology. An Acai Pill can help you reach your weight loss and other health goals as it has for countless women (and men).

Let’s face it, we have all had to deal with dry itchy skin at one time or another.  And if, like me, you live in a place that gets cold enough to snow all winter, then you know how important dry skin care can be.  There are some easy tips to help prevent dry skin but before we get to those lets define what dry itchy skin is and why it happens.  You know you have dry skin when you feel a tightness of the skin.  You may also see dry flakes coming off your skin and a slight red color.  The more redness, the more sever your dry skin problem.  The most basic reason for dry itchy skin is your oil glands do not produce enough lubrication to the skin.  This lack of lubrication is what dehydrates the skin.  There are many different reasons your glands may not be producing enough oil to keep your skin hydrated. Genetics play a factor as does a poor diet.  Diets deficient in vitamin A and the B group vitamins often lead to the need for dry skin care.Environmental factors also contribute to a lack of hydration in the skin.  Winter months with blowing winds dry the natural oil produced by our skin.  Air conditioning in hotter climates can have the same effect.  Too much sun exposure also interrupts the skin’s natural hydration process.Now that we have a basic understanding of what causes dry itchy skin, lets look at some simple ways to prevent it.#1 – Take lukewarm showers.  It took me a long time to attempt this tip.  I love my hot showers and I used to get out of the water with my skin red from the heat.  Amazingly, when I turned down the heat, my skin stopped feeling so tight right out of the shower.  I have to grudgingly admit that this tip works.  #2- Apply a dry skin care moisturizer immediately after the shower, or after washing your hands. Applying a moisturizer at this time will help to seal in the water you took on during your bath time.#3 – Exfoliate regularly.  When you exfoliate it removes layers of dead skin and allows your moisturizer to deeply penetrate the skin. #4 – You will need more intense dry skin care in the winter.  The warm air from inside coupled with the cold wind from out side robs your skin of its natural oils.  Finding a natural moisturizer with intense hydration ingredients like Shea butter, avocado oil, or Coenzyme Q10, will aid you during the winter seasons.#5 – Consider fish oil pills.  Fish oil pills contain omega 3 fatty acids.  This ingredient is a major benefactor in healthy skin.  People who began taking the fish oil reported a positive difference in their hair, nails, and skin in only 6 weeks.  It should be noted here that drinking water does not contribute to dry skin care.  People used to believe that the more water you drink the more hydrated your skin will be.  However, this has proven false.  Water does add to the health of your skin by helping your skin to remove toxins.  So keep drinking lots of water.  It will help clear your skin, just not keep it hydrated.It is also important to remember that not all moisturizers are created equal.  Many hydrating products use mineral oil, which is petroleum based and clogs your pores, leading to blemishes in the skin.  Not only should you avoid mineral oil, but you should also use your dry skin care moisturizer as a way to feed your skin.  So look for ingredients that are high in antioxidants like sea kelp (phytessence wakame) and Cynergy TK.  Cynergy TK contains a natural keratin derived from New Zealand sheep’s wool.  Because of its natural qualities, it can be easily absorbed by all layers of your skin.  It gives your skin a super hydration and, coupled with its high antioxidant count, makes it an effective dry skin care treatment.Now you know a little more about how our skin works plus 5 easy tips to prevent dry itchy skin.

In a perfect world we’d all be entirely informed about how our bodies function—unfortunately many people are uninformed or misinformed when it comes to health. Many are aware that lifestyle choices can affect your health. Smoking, drinking, late nights, an extra fatty diet, too much sugar or salt, overexposure to the sun, and too much stress are just some of the factors that all add up over the years and lead to ill health. Other factors are simply due to an aging body.. For example, prostate health should be paid close attention to by every man over 40. The prostate is a gland that is a vital part of the male sexual organs. The prostate gland’s function is to first produce and then store a vital component of seminal fluid or semen. An aging prostate may affect normal activities and hamper one’s lifestyle. Most men never consider their prostate or prostate health until their body forces them to. , But there are important reasons why men should make prostate health a priority as they approach the age of 40. After 40, it is important to have an annual check-up so that your doctor can determine the health of your prostate. Early and frequent checkups can help you know exactly what type of nutrition and supplements you should be taking. The sooner you take control of your lifestyle, the sooner you’ll ensure a better quality of your health and of your life.How to Make Prostate Health a Priority1. Nutrition – One of the main contributors to a healthy prostate is the correct diet. Food, in essence is the very foundation on which good health is built. There are certain foods that should be avoided or consumed only minimally:

Instead of the above, have several servings daily of the following:

2. Maintain Your Ideal Weight and Exercise – There have been a number of studies that show that men with larger waists were more likely to develop prostate enlargement than those at their ideal weight. If you need to lose weight, exercise regularly and eat a balanced diet to avoid future ill health 3. Moderate Your Consumption of Alcohol – Alcohol raises the body’s prolactin levels. This in turn increases the uptake of testosterone into the prostate and causes a higher possibility of an unhealthy prostate. 4. Regular Prostate Exams – Annual prostate exams can help with an aging prostate and lead to more effective treatment. It is important to have an annual check-up to determine prostate health. Early detection can help you to take counter measures by adequate nutrition and supplements known to benefit prostate health5. Supplements – There are several supplements available that nutritionally support healthy prostate, urinary and bladder functioning. Supplements that contain Beta-sitosterol and Saw Palmetto have been found to support a healthy prostate. Along with other health benefits, Beta-sitosterol is mainly known to benefit cardiovascular health due to its antioxidant activity. Super Beta Prostate contains a high concentration of Beta-sitosterol. In fact, you would have to take 100 Saw Palmetto capsules in order to get the same amount of sterols in one Super Beta Prostate. Plus Super Beta Prostate contains 12 additional vitamins and minerals that are specifically designed to target and support healthy prostate functioning. However, if you are taking prescription medication, or you have other concerns, you should consult with your doctor before beginning any new health regimen.

If you could drink some of the earth’s most nutrient rich, efficacious botanicals every single day, wouldn’t you want to? Now imagine a delicious, nutritious product that is bursting with natural superfoods, and you’ve got Seven+, a pure, 100% natural product that combines the worlds most legendary sought after botanicals!

Exfuze was born from a desire to offer a truly unique synergistic botanical superfood that could significantly impact people’s lives all over the world. After several years of extensive research with physicians, nutritionists, scientists, and expert analysis of the botanical realm, the dedication and determination of the founders of eXfuze resulted in the multi-botanical nutritional, Seven+.  Adhering to their motto of ‘Be proactive, not reactive’, about your health, Seven+ is formulated to help you achieve your highest state of well-being.  Drink Seven+ everyday to maintain your optimal health, and take action everyday to ensure your optimal success.

Unlike many supplemental products, eXfuze’s approach in developing Seven+ was to utilize individual extraction processes with each of the seven super botanicals in order to optimize their highest potential nutritional value.  The patented scientific technology behind the extraction process of Seven+ has resulted in a 100% natural super food with the most bio-available formulation and optimum purity known in the marketplace today. In simple it’s a combination of seven fruits and its extracts. Gac, Acai, Goji, Noni, Fucoidan, Mangosteen and SeaBuckthorn are the fruits.

The proprietary extraction process used in Seven+ separates the botanical from its less nutritious and indigestible cellulose. Therefore the extracts are more effective and bio-available than concentrates. An added benefit of extracts is that they are far lower in sugars than juice concentrates.

One of the goals behind Seven+ is to make sure that the drink is continuously being improved to ensure that it remains the most nutritious drink on earth. Three other ingredients that are included in the product are pomegranate, aloe vera, and blueberries. Both pomegranate and blueberries are incredible foods that are loaded with antioxidants. Aloe vera is a powerful glyconutrient, which supports the immune system* and is rich in amino acids.

An extract is a small particle that is the result of a sophisticated process that is intended to extract all of the components of the botanical that are beneficial, leaving behind the indigestible parts of the plant. Fulvic acid’s inherent properties have also been found to help carry constituents more easily through the membrane walls. When smaller, more nutrient dense particles are combined into a more absorbable nutrient renowned for its delivery capabilities, the end result is a delivery system that potentially carries a very high percentage of its constituents to the desired location in the body.

Seven+ utilizes only 100% natural preservatives, and is completely sodium benzoate free.

Most Diets Work At First And Then Fail

When it comes to starting a new diet most people manage to lose weight for the first few weeks. They rapidly shed some pounds and think they’ve finally found their ultimate diet. Unfortunately as so many looking to lose weight have found out this is generally a temporary thing.

Within a few weeks of starting a new diet most people will stop losing the weight they initially did. They stand up on the scales and wonder why they’re not getting the results they were when the diet program first began.

The answer to this question is that it you most probably have hit what is called a “weight loss plateau”. This usually occurs because your body has become used to the diet program you have begun.

You see with so many of this diets they are created to provide you with an initial hit that shocks your body with something new. Because this is new you’re body will start burning fat in order to sustain its usual levels.

Whilst this is great at first within a few weeks your body will have become accustomed to the new diet program. Your body becomes used to the new diet and (if you have one) new exercise program and is no longer shocked into burning energies. This is what makes so many people give up diets so very quickly.

So how do you combat this weight loss plateau?

Well firstly stop concentrating solely on counting calories. So many people begin a diet and do nothing but count how many calories they consume. They think that if they eat fewer calories they’ll lose weight, which they will at first before the body becomes used to it. Your metabolic rate, because low calories are being consumed, has no real reason to increase itself. Your metabolic rate burns more fat the higher it is. So if it is at a low point because of such low calorie consumption it won’t burn fat.

In order to burn fat successfully and fight plateaus you need to create a high metabolic rate. The easiest way to do that is to fuel it throughout the day. You can do this by eating small, regular means rather than the normal three of breakfast, lunch and dinner. Most people gorge themselves at these intervals and that does not do their body any favours.

Focus on eating healthy foods regularly, with small snacks every three hours. These must be healthy though! Eating burgers and chips will not do you any favours. They must be good, healthy foods.

On top of eating regularly and healthily exercise will also help you in your quest for weight loss by raising your metabolic rate. If you combine a good, steady diet with regular exercise you will be able to lose weight.

Forget pie in the sky diets that say you can lose weight without doing any exercise whatsoever. They might, and I do mean might, work for a little while. But then you will hit the weight loss plateau and give up or try another diet. Again it may work for a few weeks as your body is “shocked” with the new diet but in the long term it will fail.

A little exercise such as a brisk walk or enjoyable bike ride a few times a week will make the world of difference to your weight loss goals.

Make sure you don’t become disheartened by your own weight loss plateau. You now understand why it happens, and how to avoid it!Staying On Track For Long Term Weight Loss

The idea that you have to change your lifestyle to change your weight is not a new one. It is just common sense that if you are overweight then there is some part of your every day life that needs to be battled against. This could be an unhealthy diet, lack of exercise or a combination of them both.

What many people struggle to realise is that changing your every day lifestyle is not an easy thing to do. Many people start new diet programs more than happy to make changes if it means they’ll lose weight. Unfortunately when the going gets a little tougher than they expected they tend to give up very easily.

There is more to weight loss than just diet and exercise. You need to change your lifestyle and be motivated and have the right mindset in order to begin a diet in the first place. It is the most important, and least talked about, factor in successful weight loss.

The first step in staying on track for long term weight loss is to realise that really can do it. Many people have lost weight before you and many do others. The only difference between those who lose weight successfully and those who fail is persistence.

In order to stay motivated and persistent you need to avoid thinking negatively. When you don’t see instant results think positively and keep your eyes on the prize. If you constantly focus on why you can’t exercise or can’t lose weight or stick to a diet you’ll end up failing.

Instead focus on small victories at a time. Most people want to lose lots of weight and do it quickly They have a long term goal in mind but are not sure how they’re going to get there. Well by focusing on small challenges at a time you will find you are much more positive. By focusing on the next meal or the next exercise rather than only massive weight loss you’ll find yourself being a lot more positive over a consistent period. Don’t criticize yourself if you do make the odd slip up. We’re all allowed to make a mistake every now and then. And if you find yourself getting a quick burger one lunchtime don’t beat yourself up over it. This will only result in you becoming despondent about your diet. Instead get back on track by working off some of the calories from the slip up with a good bit of exercise!

Make sure that the people you surround yourself with know that you have a weight loss goal. If your friends and family know that you are on a diet program they are much less likely to try and tempt you to fast food restaurants and to places where your plans and goals can go out of the window. Tell them that you want and need their support if you are to reach where you want to be If you follow these tips there is no reason why you won’t be able to lose weight! Remember that you can achieve whatever you believe in your mind. If you believe you can lose weight, you WILL! It does sound cliché but is very much true!

Are Other People Making Your Diet Fail?

Diet and weight loss programs are notoriously hard to stick to. For many people starting and successfully completing a diet is one of the toughest things to do. It is also one of the most rewarding.

In this article I want to make you aware of something that can have a huge affect on you losing weight. And believe it or not it’s nothing to do with which diet you take or whether or not you exercise. Instead I want to focus on how other people can stop you from losing weight.

You can be made of mentally strong stuff. You might have stuck at a diet and exercise program without a blip for weeks. And then, out of the blue, you’re invited to a meal with friends or maybe a work lunch. You know you’re going to have to eat out and you start to get a little nervous. Sticking to your diet at home is fine because you are in control. You have picked the food in your cupboards and fridge.

Eating out is a whole different story. You’re friends, family or work colleagues may be eating the fattiest and most unhealthy meals on the menu and you feel tempted. You’re only human after all.

So what can you eat without destroying your diet? Well firstly the odd blip here and there is fine. You should have at least one meal a week that is your favourite food no matter how unhealthy (within reason) so that you can reward yourself for eating healthily all week. However this is not always possible. Sometimes, because of work or whatever, you have to eat out regularly and there is a menu in front of you full of goodies, and people around you egging you on to “get the ribs” or some other unhealthy dish.

Firstly in this situation it is vitally important that people know you are on a diet program. If they know this, and you are intent on losing weight, they are much less likely to try to encourage you to eat something that will get you off track. So be honest and up front from the start explaining that you are in the process of shedding a few pounds and want to stick to it. If they are genuine people they will be impressed by your strength of mind

Secondly when picking from the menu you need it’s best to pick something that is made up of mostly salads, vegetables or fruits. Ok, it won’t taste as nice as the steaks and other feasts but it will allow you to stay on track and eat the healthiest things on the menu.

The problem with eating out is that even if the meals that could usually be quite healthy, like a chicken salad, can often be full of fat. Especially if there is a ton of dressing on it. So it’s best to order something that has no dressing and preferably no meat. Often restaurants fry the meat for speed and this is what makes the food so tasty but unfortunately also so unhealthy.

Raw vegetables are always a good bet because they help you burn fat by boosting your metabolism. So any raw vegetable dish without a dressing will keep you sticking to a healthy diet.

Another thing to do is to use control if there is a buffet cart there. It is important that when you lose weight you concentrate on eating regular, small sized meals throughout the day. A buffet cart can easily cause problems because it is so tempting to go back for seconds and then thirds.

Check the amount of food you are going to eat before you take that bite! If you think that the food provided to you exceed the portion control limit you are allowed, eat according to your portion limit and then carry the leftovers back home to be eaten on the next day. Ask for a box from the restaurant to help you carry the leftovers. Drink water or pure fruit juice with your meal. Alcohol or fizzy drinks are packed full of calories and even if you had a salad, and three fizzy drinks the fizzy drinks calorie count will make your meal an unhealthy one with regards to your goals.

I need to reiterate the point that it is fine to eat out now and again and is encouraged. However be sure that if this is a regular occurrence you exercise caution or you could find yourself being more and more impartial to the fatty foods that you have worked so hard to avoid. All it takes is a few meals for you to want to get off your diet and back onto your old program of unhealthy foods and fats.

Stick to your program. Your health and future may depend on it!

How To Eat Big And Lose Weight

In this article I am going to walk you through a selection of foods described in the weight loss industry as super, or power, foods. These foods will allow you to lose weight without being constantly hungry and following a diet that will never work.

The main complaint people on diet programs have is that they simply cannot handle the fact they are consistently hungry. Because of that weight loss experts from around the world concentrated on finding certain foods that would allow people to eat and still lose weight. Now despite their power when it comes to losing weight loss they do need to be accompanied with an exercise program of some kind to see results. If you do exercise though, even just a bike ride three times a week, and concentrate your diet on these foods you’ll get great results.

These foods boost your metabolic rate and therefore burn more calories throughout the day. This will result in you shedding the pounds! Let’s take a look at them.

Green tea is the first power food. It contains fat burning chemicals that will help you with your weight loss. Whilst it doesn’t taste bad, it doesn’t taste great either. But this power food is a secret powerhouse in the weight loss world.

Peanut butter is a surprising aid in weight loss. Most people think because it tastes so great that it’s bad for you. It can be eaten at any point throughout the day and it will help your diet because it is rich in protein. Protein helps build lean muscle mass, which will burn fat and calories. Peanut butter is also a filling food which will suppress your appetite. Another powerfood from the nut family is almonds. Almonds, whilst being a fat, are actually a good type of fat because they contain essential nutrients such as fatty acids and protein. They help you burn fat by boosting your metabolic rate. Beans such as greenbeans and blackbeans will help fill you up and suppress your appetite. One of the main pitfalls with low calorie diets is you are constantly hungry. By eating foods such as beans and peanut butter you will find yourself full throughout the day.

Lean chicken and turkey meat is one of the best weight loss foods you can ever have because it contains a lot of amount of protein and very little fat, and as you know, protein will build lean muscles. Lean muscles will help you burn fat by accelerating your metabolic rate! Fishes are also very good for quick weight loss. Fishes such as salmon and tuna contain Omega-3 fatty acids. Omega-3 fatty acids fall in the category of ‘good fats’ or unsaturated fats. You gained weight because of a hormone called leptin which stores fat inside your body. Omega-3 fatty acids will cut down on leptin; when that happens, you are bound to lose weight! Make sure you get tuna packed in spring water, rather than oil, for the healthiest option. Berries such as blackberries, blueberries, strawberries, etc will help you with weight loss by suppressing your appetite. Why not combine them with peanut butter and milk and blend them over ice to make a tasty smoothie that will help you to lose weight!

These are just a handful of the types of super foods that will aid your weight loss.

It should be clear to you now that losing weight does not mean you have to starve yourself and eat nothing but boring vegetables and salads. In fact, eating solely that will not help you lose weight. You need proteins and the right kinds of fats as well as vitamins and antioxidants to turbo charge you diet program.

Couple these foods with a basic exercise program and eating small meals every three hours, rather than three large meals, during the day and watch the pounds drop off.

You might be surprised to know that skin is the largest organ in human body. It is a kind of sheath that separates us from the outer environment. It protects our internal organs from getting exposed to the harsh climatic condition pravelling outside. Any problem in skin or any kind of infection to the skin can causes threat to the internal organs. It helps in keeping our vital organ from hanging outside the body getting infected very easily. It also helps in maintaing body temperature. More importantly it helps us in perceiving sensation of touch.
According to modern sciences skin is made up of three layers. Named epidermis the outer layer, dermis the middle layer and subcutaneous fat the inner layer. Ayurveda believes that skin has six layers.
Epidermis is the outer most layer of the skin and is the part of the skin, which is visible with our normal eyes. This layer of skin keeps on producing new cells, as 30000 to 40000 cells are lost every minute. It contains a very important content name melalin that is a very talked about things now a days. Melalin imparts colour to our skin. More the melalin content darker is the complexion. Actually melanin is a protective device of your skin that helps you to protect from sunburns and very harmful ultraviolet rays or more commonly called UV rays. This is the reason tanning occurs in people who get exposed to sun. But melalin production is not enough to give all round protection to protect skin from dehydration and cancerous cell production. Important thing about epidermis is that it is composed of dead cells hence is non vascular i.e. it does not have blood supply and nervous supply.
Second is the dermis layer that lies below the epidermis. As it is beneath the epidermis hence dermis is not visible. Dermis serves very important function in the protective and perceptive role that skin plays. It serves many functions, as it possesses nerves ending, vascular supplies and glands (both oil or sebaceous glands and sweat glands). Due to presence of these factors we can perceive the touch sensation. Vascularity to the skin initiates in dermis and hence helps in providing proper nourishment to the skin cells. Dermis also contains sebaceous glands or more commonly called oil gland, which helps our skin in lubrication thus helping it from catching any infection. It makes our skin work as raincoats therefore help skin from getting sogged and swelled away in water. Sweat glands play a very important role in our life. Most important of all is that it helps in maintaing our body temperature; secondly it plays an excretory role by excreting out harmful toxins that might have formed in our body; thirdly it helps in protecting our body from microorganism as it possess antibacterial properties.
Third and the most important of all the layers is the subcutaneous fatty layer. Its role is to work as a shock absorber in he body and to maintain body heat from getting transferred to outside temperature. It also helps in holding internal organs tightly as it is present beneath the skin. This also contains a very peculiar feature that only mammals possess i.e. hair follicles. This layer is full of hair follicles out of which hair grows out. Nourishment of hairs depends upon the sebaceous glands, which opens into the hair follicle thus proving it with shine and nutrients. Types of skins
It is really very essential to know the kind of skin you possess, as right care of skin can help in reducing any skin problems and avoid diseases. There are mainly 5 types of skin: -

Proper distribution of oil and moisture is there that makes it a balanced skin i.e. not excessively dry and not excessively greasy. It is clear and free from blemishes
2. Dry skin: Skin is said to be dry, when skin is dull, patchy, reddened and flaky especially around eyes. Dry skin may cause formation of fine lines on cheeks, under eyes and corners of mouth. These conditions happen when oil or sebaceous glands are not supplying good nourishment and lubrication to the skin. If proper care is not given to the skin then it may lead to initiation of wrinkles in early age.
3. Oily or greasy skin: This kind of skin is thick, dull in colour and shiny in appearance. Due to over secretions of oils or sebum through oil gland, makes skin pores open and skin becomes sticky, which attracts dirt and dust from the environment. Due to this tendency, dirt and dust particles blocks the skin pores which are already widely open in oily skin leads to problems like black head, white head, acne and other skin related problems.

Usually it follows the pattern of “T” i.e. the greasy part is usually the portion which is vertical to nose crossing nose (nose, mouth and chin) and horizontal on fore head and hence referred to as “T-Zone”. The area left i.e. cheeks is comparatively dry.

We all know horse joints are “overstressed”. Arthritis, back and neck problems, improper shoeing, borderline nutrition or just simply mechanical wear and tear from aging are all to familiar problems in our animal friends.

But are Glucosamine type joint nutraceuticals really beneficial as a cure or do they just suppress the pain like any other pain reliever such as bute or bannamine? Good Question! In fact, that was a recent question posed on a Homeopathic Internet discussion group I participate on. The resulting answer was undecided. Regardless, I believe we can all agree that when our animal friends hurt we sympathize and would like to help. My personal opinion is Glucosamine type products help! Here is why.

Researchers have discovered that healthy joints and other important parts of the body contain high levels of the amino sugar Glucosamine. The main function of glucosamine on joints is to stimulate the production of those things that made up cartilage, especially sulfur. Sulfur is the essential nutrient that stabilizes joint tissue by criss-cross linking all sorts of molecules together. This criss-cross linking is what gives connective tissue, such as cartilage, its strength, resiliency, form and shock-absorbing abilities. In fact, connective tissue is found in all body tissues including bones, ligaments, tendons, cartilage, mucus membranes of the digestive, respiratory, and urinary tract, blood vessels, heart valves etc.etc.. Basically, connective tissue is the glue that holds the body together. The effects of a dietary deficiency of glucosamine or subsequent sulfur should thus be obvious. The essential amino acid DL-Methionine also contains sulfur and it too acts to promote healthy cartilage and connective tissue.

Another important nutrient is Glucosamine Sulphate. Like Glucosamine, Glucosamine Sulphate is a cartilage and connective tissue protective nutrient. Essentially, both of these substances are the essential building blocks from which GAGs are made. GAGs is short for Glycosaminoglycans. Others (GAGs) are dermatan sulfate, heparin sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, and hyoluronate, the latter of which is often injected into injured joints —-yuck or should I say GAG. Please don’t do that! Studies have actually shown that Glucosamine Sulfate is the easiest of all forms of GAGs to be absorbed and utilized, up to 98% versus 8-36% for others such as bovine and shark cartilage, chondroitin sulfate, sea cucumber, or Perna sea mussels. Clinical studies have found that oral doses of Glucosamine Sulfate are even more effective than injected cartilage preparations.

Glucosamine Sulfate, in these same studies, has shown to yield BETTER long term results than NSAIDS (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as aspirin, ibuprofen or bute ) in safely alleviating discomfort and swelling associated with arthritis-type inflammatory joint ailments, injuries, hip dysplasia etc.. They actually help to repair connective tissue and damaged joint structures. Electron microscope biopsies documented REVERSAL of degeneration and normalization of cartilage in Glucosamine sulfate users and an increased degeneration in the groups using NSAIDS! Apparently NSAIDS restrict sulfate availability, blocking a step in the production of new cartilage interfering with normal repair mechanisms.

Damage to any cell causes a release of free radicals. Free radicals directly attack and damage cartilage. Antioxidants prevent free radicals from forming and scavenge them when they are already present. Osteoarthritis, for example, causes a major release of free radicals into the joints. Poor circulation, surgery, over exercise, and trauma will also cause a major release. For this reason, joint nutraceuticals are always more effective with simultaneous use of antioxidants. Compare ingredients, compare quantities, compare price but you won’t find a better product anywhere, much less at these prices.

Why Give A Daily Antioxidant? In a nut shell, if you want your animal friends to live longer and healthier lives, give antioxidants daily. If you don’t, then forget them. It’s already been proven since the 60’s that antioxidants are beneficial. Every day our animal friends, as well as ourselves, are bombarded with pollutants. We eat them. We drink them. We breathe them. Feed has pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, hormones — you name it! Water has chlorine, trihalomethanes, alum, lime, and potassium permanganates just to name a few! My goodness, just smell the air as you travel down the polluted highway. I believe you get my “drift”.

All of these pollutants cause free radical damage. I am not talking about damage from some “antiestablishment hippie”! I am talking cell damage by super charged (polluted) Oxygen molecules constantly bombarding normal cells, turning them into who knows what. Call it cancer, premature aging, stoke, arthritis. Call it whatever you like — but it is bad with a capital B! Free radicals are like bullets ricocheting all throughout the body, damaging every thing they hit. Antioxidants suck up free radicals like a vacuum cleaner, keeping the body spiffy clean. Compare ingredients, compare quantities, compare price but you won’t find a better product anywhere.
