We Need Sleep

"Sleep deprived people have a higher blood levels of stress hormones and substances that indicate inflammation, a key player in cardiovascular disease,

A relatively new study adds credence to that thinking. Researcher revealed the results of a study conducted on mice, in which mice who experienced poor sleep had altered levels of a hormone that increases inflammatory cells in the bone marrow and can lead to atherosclerosis, or hardening of the arteries, a major risk factor for a heart attack.

Another sleep issue that has been associated with heart conditions: Sleep apnea. Snoring is a symptom of that obstructive breathing condition, in which you might stop breathing for up to a minute, before the brain wakes you up to start breathing again.

Not only can that cause you to wake up tired, it prevents your body from fully benefiting from the heart- protective function of sleep. "Over time, this can lead to higher blood pressure during the day and a greater chance of cardiovascular problems."

The optimal amount of sleep is 7-9 hours a night. Make sure you get the deep sleep you need and try to keep your body in an Alkaline state with the proper ph. This will lessen your inflammation and keep your immune system running at its best.

Wrinkle-causing UVA rays and burn-inducing UVB's can pose a serious risk to your health (and good looks). So what can you do? Kevin P. Boyd makes the case to slap on some physical or chemical SPF daily.

Remarkable Benefits of Microneedling for the Skin

Microneedling can reverse sun damage. Collagen is arguably the best way to improve the look of the skin, and this goes beyond reducing wrinkles. Stimulating collagen growth is a necessity in reversing sun damage and discoloration, including hyperpigmentation that comes from Melasma.

A study in a Brazilian Annals of Dermatology showed Microneedling to be a promising treatment for blotchy, brownish facial pigmentation.

In addition to Microneedlings ability to smooth and correct damaged skin, it also can tighten loose skin in older men and women as well as plumping fine lines and wrinkles. One more thing! Men have a tendency to have extremely large pores on there nose and Microcurrent can refine and help the appearance of those very large unsightly pores.

Microneedling significantly reduces the size and appearance of scars. Including Acne scars no matter how long you have had them. In a study on the effects of Microneedling published in the Journal of Cutaneous and Aesthetic Surgery, nearly 100 percent of acne scarred participants reported a marked improvement in the visibility of the scars.

Microneedling is also used to stimulate hair growth.
