Free Radicals - Should I Be Concerned About Them?

Free radicals are unstable molecules with extra free electrons looking for a connection. They can latch onto a cell membrane or blood vessel lining and create constant inflammation, leading to eventual damage, serious disease, and even to an early death. Free radicals are atoms or groups of atoms that contain at least one unpaired electron that attack healthy cells. If an electron is unpaired, another...

Skin Care Book Review's By Wayne'r

Book Review for November 2005

The Wrinkle Cure By Nicholas Perricone, MD

Let's start with a label that says "Dermatologist Tested". Well that Could mean that the product was tested but they may not have liked it. Tested yes but we would not know the results. Dr. Perricone did most of His testing and as the book goes along he admits what worked and what did not work. Working from there makes changes to make it work better. I give a lot of credit for that. Before you can take care of your skin one needs to know what kind of skin you have. Not only knowing if you have oily or dry skin Dr. Perricone has a good chapter on skin tone. In this chapter he also goes into the different skin tones by regions in the world. With case studies on the different skin tones you can get tips on the do's and don'ts for your skin tips. After reading his book I came away with a better understanding of how our skin is affected by our enviroment and the foods that we eat. If you do not understand the antioxidants and free radicals, well this is a good book to start understanding their relationship. I even made some changes. Starting with taking a multivitamin, eating yogurt and granola in the Morning. Trying to eat more fish and chicken during the day and snacking on almonds. As you read through the book Dr. Perricone does use many words from the Medical field. He does take the time to give you the definition at that time without using a Glossary. It does break up the flow of your reading.

I read all the way through the book and then went back through with a note pad. The book comes in two different sizes, I got the smaller book for traveling. With the larger book you could high light it as you read through it. With only 218 pages it is a short book packed with information. You are sure to make at least one change to your daily regime after reading this book. Even Wayne'r the no brainer made some changes.

For October 2005 Beauty the new basics By Rona Berg Being a former beauty editor for The New York Times Magazine, Editorial director for ELLE magazine and has written for many Other magazines such as, Vogue, Instyle, Cosmopolitan, Mirabella, Self, and Mademoiselle. This book shows the years that she has taken to research, write, and live in a life full of beauty. Just start at the end of the book with her acknowledgments. These are some of the best people in their fields, be it doctors, hairstylist, makeup artists, aestheticians, or the fashion industry insiders. This really is a head to toe book, from hair cuts, color and styling; to facials, skin regimens for the different stages of life. From the neck on down to your feet, Rona has a tip that will help what you see and will also help the way you feel about yourself. This is the only book that I have read to date that will tell you what products work and why she likes them. Do not use this book as a coffee table book; your friends will pick it up for sure. Although do keep it handy. A Wayne'r keeper

My first book on natural skin care was: Ageless Natural Beauty By Sally Freeman I'm not sure if it is because it was in the beginning and I did not know much, but I still think it was a great start. Like the back of the book says "Open your kitchen, grab hold of nature's bounty, do a little mixing and stirring, and bask in the blow of the best beauty treatments money can't buy". From what ingredients to use and how to use them. Do you grind them, steep them into infusions, even down to how long they will last. All I know this is were I started and it has lasted many years. A Wayne'r thumbs up.

Another book that I got in the beginning was: The complete Woman's Herbal By Anne Mc Intyre I lucked out with this book as well. this is really a book from A to Z on herbs. Not only will it list the, also know as, contains, key uses, it will also say the Do Note Use, for many herbs. Taking all the stages of life in from uses in infant care, menopause, through the aging process. For a just sit down and read, there is a lot of information to take in. But to have in the house so you can refer to it, is a must. Another Wayne'r thumbs up.

Young Skin for Life By Julie Davis Her book your guide to smoother, clearer, more Beautiful skin-at any age. Is a good book and very easy to read. This is a book that you can read and is not overwhelming. A Wayne'r thumbs up!

Looking Good at Any Age By Amy E. Newburger, MD

This book is one that I would check out at the library. Some books that I read will spark an interest to lead me into more information. After reading this book I was left with the feeling "OK".

Safe in the Sun by Mary-Ellen Siegel I could not say it better by Carolyn L. Ellner, Ph. D. "This book should be read by all educators and its message addressed in all our classrooms as part of good health education." If you have young children this book is for you. I wish mom had read this Book when I was young. A Wayne'r 2 thumbs up

Women & Beauty By Sophia Loren Ok I like Sophia Loren any way. And probably seen every movie at lest 3 times. Even went on Ebay and got two of her pictures, one even signed. If there is one person to get beauty tips from, she is a Wayne'r no brainer. She must be doing something right. A Wayne'r 2 thumbs up and look out for me out bidding you on anything that might have to do with Sophia Loren.

Botox - beautifying. . or. . bizarre?

Botox - or Botulinum Toxin - is regarded by some as the fountain of youth! Botox injections are being used to attain a fresh, youthful appearance. The treatment has proven to be both safe and convenient. Botox was originally used for treating nervous twitches of the eyelid muscles. In 1987 it was sanctioned for cosmetic use. Botox is a poisonous substance - it is a protein complex produced by the bacterium clostridium botulinum - it contains the same toxin that causes food poisoning. However, when injected in low doses - it is a modern tool that can reduce the signs of aging! A low dose of...

How to Supercharge an Aging Brain

Copyright 2006 Mary Desaulniers My parents were in their early fifties when I turned 22 and the chasm that separated us seemed unbridgeable. My father had his hat and tie on everywhere he went even when he mowed the lawn. My mother kept indoors most of the time and warned us girls that no man would marry a woman made brown by the sun. I used to wonder if their brains had turned to mush. Now I look at my 22 year old son and chuckle at the chasm that yawns between us. With his mp3 looped permanently over his neck, pants baggy and cuffed, he looks like an alien from a distant star. I have no doubt...
