Body Detox A Scam?

By traffickahuna On July 3, 2009 No Comments

A growing cry about health professionals has been in getting a body detox or body cleansing. Years of poor eating habits, low-fiber diets, environmental pollution, and stress cause the toxins to build up and eventually get absorbed back into the body. When toxins are not properly eliminated, this may lead to sickness and disease.

Our colon, kidneys, liver, and other vital organs are adversely affected by the toxic build up in our bodies. When your colon is toxic or filled with junk, it will eventually stress your liver from operating effectively. When your liver is polluted, inside your bloodstream and tissues will be effected leading to poor health and possible disease. So you can see for your body to function optimally, it must be freed from toxins.

How Do I Know I Need A Body Cleansing?

Here is a partial list of symptoms that may indicate you needing a body detox soon. Diarrhea, impaired digestion, constipation, fatigue and low energy, gas and bloating, hemorrhoids, excess weight, food allergies, bad breath, foul smelling stools. These are only some of the symptoms.

Many people are in the good habit of cleaning externally their body, why not also clean up regularly internally? The longer you wait to get a body detox or body cleansing, the greater the risk of developing sickness or disease. Putrefying foods in your intestines need to be eliminated quickly, so do not wait for the harsh symptoms in order to do a cleanse

Research clearly proves that our bodies are not capable of elimination all the different toxins and chemicals we inhale and ingest every day. They simply accumulate in our cells (especially fat cells), tissues, blood, organs (such as the colon, liver and brain) and remain stored for an indefinite length of time causing all kinds of health problems. Cleansing your body of toxins will improve your health and boost immune system function.

Prevent Stretch Marks by Using Only the Best Stretch Mark Cream

By traffickahuna On July 2, 2009 No Comments

It is not easy to determine the best stretch mark cream for you, but researching the better known stretch mark treatments will get you most of the way there. Some producers make outlandish claims about how they can cure stretch marks in a matter of days, while others claim to be the answer to all of your skin care challenges.

Can Stretch Marks Go Away Without Treatment?

In reality, even the most popular stretch mark creams can only fade stretch marks and result in a less conspicuous skin imperfection. A great deal of the moe effective creams and lotions can effectively make your stretch marks almost invisible, but the usual dimple where the skin has torn can still be felt. The principle behind most creams is to rejuvenate the damaged skin with new, lighter colored skin cells that blend with the surrounding area.

One of the only totally effective stretch mark removal methods is plastic surgery. With this procedure, the area of damaged skin is actually removed, totally eliminating the stretch marks. The downside of cosmetic surgery is that it is invasive surgery and costs can be prohibitive.

Can You Actually Prevent Stretch Marks?

Talking with a number of women who used a stretch mark cream to reduce stretch marks during pregnancy, many individuals believed that the treatments made a significant difference in the quantity and severity of their stretch marks. Based on clinical trials about the effectiveness of herbal stretch mark creams in pregnant females over their entire pregnancy period, it was found that the overall incidence of stretch marks occurring in pregnant women was almost three times lower when a herbal stretch mark cream was utilized. The conclusion was that the natural stretch mark cream or lotion penetrated the skin and worked its way into the deeper layers. This increased the suppleness of the skin from within, allowing the skin to cope effectively with the expansive pressure put on it during pregnancy.

Use a Natural Stretch Mark Solution

Based on testimonials and cost effectiveness, the best stretch mark lotion to prevent stretch marks during pregnancy is a product made by Barmon. The Barmon Stretch Mark Cream is an all-natural product that has been marketed for over thirty years with a large base of satisfied customers, many of whom are pregnant mothers. There are other products that claim to prevent the development of stretch marks, but the costs are considerably higher.

A convincing aspect of the natural stretch mark product is there are no known side effects when it is applied topically. This is not to say that a very small number of users may experience skin irritation similar to an allergic reaction, but this is generally true with any topical cream or lotion. So, for a very reasonable cost, an individual can make use of natural stretch mark creams and guarantee that their incidence of stretch marks will either be prevented altogether or reduced dramatically.

Which Stretch Mark Remover Will Work Best for Your Needs

By traffickahuna On July 2, 2009 No Comments

Stretchmark Removal

Is there a perfect stretch mark remover method that will work for everyone?  We don’t think so.  But, there are a multitude of stretch mark removal methods that are utilized with varying results.  More and more of these tend to take the natural approach while others involve a more radical approach, like cosmetic surgery.  As you can see, the removal of stretch marks can be an involved and time-consuming endeavor with the price ranging from around $30 for stretch mark removal creams to thousands of dollars for plastic surgery or laser treatments.  

Which cure works best for you will be dependent upon the age of your stretch marks, your skin type, and budgetary constraints.  A general overview of some of the most popular stretch mark removal methods are detailed below:

Be Smart and Hydrate Yourself

Drink just as much or more water as you drink coffee, tea, or soda. Stretchmarks may also be caused by some nutritional dificiencies. Drink significant amounts of water (at least two litres every day) - not soda or juices - because it helps your skin in staying supple. If you drink a lot of coffee or tea, drink three litres of water a day.

Take Skin Supportive Vitamins

Vitamin E is a critically key vitamin to take during pregnancy to minimize stretch marks. Also, a cream containing Vitamin D will assist in eliminating stretch marks. However, because Vitamin E by itself will not work because of the large size of their molecule; the addition of lanolin, which has very small molecules, can be utilized to deliver the ingredients beyond the top layer of skin and help with skin elasticity.  If you suffer from stretch marks, Vitamin E is believed to improve them by blending away their appearance.  

Stretch Mark Creams

Creams and lotions for stretch marks will not totally remove stretch marks, but will generally lessen their appearance whereby the affected skin blends with the surrounding healthy skin.  There are many stretch mark cremes and oils that have been made to sustain your skin taut and firm during pregnancy and actually help prevent stretch marks from beginning.  The creams and lotions that penetrate the skin in the deeper layers will provide longer-lasting moisture that is essential to healthy skin. These creams are best used as night creams.

Surgical Alternatives

Surgical procedures are generally the most expensive of the stretch mark elimination methods, though repeated laser treatments can result in similar costs.  The results suggest that surgical treatment is considered to be the most effective and conventional method in ridding oneself of stretch marks. This procedure generally involves the removal of areas of skin where the stretch marks have developed.  The 2nd type of surgical procedure that can help remove stretch marks is laser surgery. This type of procedure is minimally invasive and does not involve scarring or incisions.

Laser treatment of stretch marks and scars are claimed to stimulate collagen production below the skin as the dermal skin layer absorbs the laser light, which in theory fills out the skin and aiding to return pigment to the scarred area. But, there is still an argument within the health care field regarding the use of laser technology to treat scars and stretch marks.  Even now, many doctors and plastic surgeons feel that lasers cannot effectively treat stretch mark damaged skin.

To sum it up, the stretch mark remover methods detailed above are all proven to work to different degrees, depending on the person’s skin type, age of the stretch marks, and available funding.  The least costly of the stretch mark removers are the creams and lotions, which fade existing stretch marks and give them the opportunity to blend in with the surrounding skin.  This method is one of the most convenient treatments and should be considered first — you may just be very pleased with the results while saving your hard-earned dollars!
