Connections between marital relationships and health

Apr 28, 2015

3024

Two people are not in a relationship unless the behaviors and outcomes of one affect the behaviors and outcomes of the other. Individuals' physical are profoundly influenced by their partners. A large group of people support the fact that those who are romantic are healthier than those who plan to live single. All the primary research is done on the quality of relationships and health and stress is laid on the wrong aspects of marital communication.

Marital conflict also impacts the self rated health.� A fairly small but growing number of studies have shown that relationship conflict and other negative aspects of marriage are linked to early indicators of disease and are associated prospectively with morbidity and mortality. In a prospective large sample of women clinically diagnosed with coronary heart disease, marital stress was associated with increase in the risk of recurrent cardiac event above and beyond the detrimental effects of other types of stressors like work stress.

A recent survey on families and households depicted unhappy marriages related to slow and steady functional impairments some years later which gave rise to depression in both the partners. �Such a condition has also shown adverse results in their health.

Emotional inhibition in the context of relationship which has well known worse consequences for relationship intimacy may specially undermine physical health. It is observed that women those who inhibited their emotions during disagreements with their partners had a mortality rate four times higher over the women those who did not self- silence. Greater attachment avoidance predicted a higher frequency of negative behaviors and a lower frequency of positive behaviors during a relationship hinting at a mechanism through which attachment avoidance may influence immune responses to relationship conflict.

There are many kinds of mental disorders that arise when a relationship is not successful.� Mood disorder involves unusual intense and sustained sadness, melancholia or despair and it results in major depression also known as clinical depression.

It's a common belief that couples let themselves go� after pairing off, and there may be something attached to it. According to a 2002 review of The New York times, people tend to gain weight as they settle down for marriage and lose weight when a marriage ends. But even the opposite has been witnesses. A happy couple can motivate each other to stay healthy. They will go to the gym together, set goals together and feel responsible for each other.

Regular physical intimacy appears to reduce stress and boost well being. People who frequently had sex were mentally healthier and more likely to report greater satisfaction with their relationship and life overall. These types of caring behaviors are so important: a touch on the arm, holding hands, a rub on the shoulder. It only takes a few seconds of contact to stimulate those hormones and to help overcome stress and anxiety. Sleeping next to someone you love and trust can help you fully relax and embrace sleep.

Depression and anxiety often go hand in hand, so it makes sense that relationships can affect depression in similar complex ways. In one small but highly cited study, women regardless of their personal and family history of depression were six times more likely to be clinically depressed if their husbands had been unfaithful or if their marriages were breaking apart.

Our romantic partners have a noticeable impact on how much alcohol we consume and how often. It's true that relationship conflict and a lack of intimacy can drive people to drink. Research suggests that both men and women drink more in response to relationship problems and excessive drinking in turn can add duel to those problems.

Parenting disputes, disagreements over money, or even questions as simple as who does which household chores have been shown to increase stress. Relationship insecurity or conflict is associated with poorer sleep and to make matters worse, sleep problems can exacerbate relationships problems, creating a vicious cycle.

Role of grey matter in our brains while measuring our tolerance of risk

Apr 27, 2015

3201

The more the grey matter you have, the better is the decision making and the thought processing of your brain. This is what the latest research at California University says. The presence of good amount of grey matter equips you better with the ability to evaluate rewards and consequences and if it is contributing so much to an intellect of an average individual, it holds a great significance.

Grey matter is the main component of our main nervous framework. It consists of cell bodies, gill cells and capillaries. There is a difference between grey matter and the white matter. The former contains a lot of cell bodies and few axons while the latter is mainly composed of long range axon tracts and contains few cell bodies only.

Cerebral cortex which is the outermost layer of brain is also known as the grey matter plays a big role in memorization, language, mind, alertness, perception, language and instinct. The grey matter contains the major part of the brain's neurons and includes areas that are vital in speaking, right decision making, emotional IQ and control.

Now there is an interesting thing to note. 20% of all our inhaled oxygen goes to the brain and most importantly 95% of that goes specifically to the grey matter. It is said that intense smokers shed grey matter and cognitivity ��at a higher rate than non smokers. It is important to understand that the potential loss of control and less decision making power occur in people suffering from drug addiction.

The grey substance is evenly present on the surface of the cerebral hemisphere in the brain.� The presence is also reported in the cerebrum and the cerebellum area. It undergoes a lot of development during its childhood and adolescence time.

The grey matter serves the function of processing the information in the brain. The information reaches the grey matter in the form of nerve cells and then it is being processed by grey matter.

The grey matter has an important role to play and routes sensory messages to the Central Nervous System and gives a response to the stimulus through chemical synapse. Grey matter framework executes all the important data that starts from the sensory organs or in other grey substance areas

This information is passed through certain nerve cells thereafter forming the major part of cerebrum, cerebella and white substance of spine.

A study reveals that there is a deep connection between our brain structure and our tolerance of risk. �After a good brain analysis, it was found that the grey substance of an area is a key indicator of individual attributes of risk.

People who have bigger grey matter volume in this region of the brain show less risk a version. Tolerance of risk could potentially be measured in billions of existing brain scans.

Still a lot of study is required to determine whether any kind of structural changes in the brain can bring any alterations in risk attitude.

The proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 2013 paper propounded that people's age may factor affects tolerance of risk. As people age with time, they become more risk averse. �Cortex has the tendency to become thinner as we age. There is a high possibility that changes in risk attitude over life span are also a result of thinning of the cortex.

The usual habits and attitudes of an individual are somewhat associated to the brain that is present in the posterior cortex that highlights the presence of an anatomy based biomarker.

The connection between red meat and cancer

Apr 27, 2015

Read Meat

It is a known fact that people eating red meat in excess are bound to be at a higher risk of certain cancers. But it is surprising to note the carnivores are not prone to the same that has initiated a lot of research on the Neu5Gc sugar which is a tumor forming substance and is found in mammals but not in humans.

Studies have shown that when the sugar was fed to mice who were deficient in sugar, significant amount of tumours were found in them leading to spontaneous cancers. The study did not by any means, expose the mice to any kind of carcinogens or certain cancer inducing machines that concretely proved that the sugar, Neu5Gc was a big connection between the cancer and the red meat.

To this date, all kind of evidence that was reported from Neu5Gc to cancer was directly dependent on the situations or came up from all the artificial simulation set ups of cancer as told by Mr. Ajit Varki, a Medical Scientist. It turns out to be a debut attempt in simulating the real life situation in humans, consisting of feeding the sugar and inducing the antidotes of the sugar that lead to the immediate happening of cancer in the mice.

This whole team of scientists conducted a very organized and well strategized survey on common foods. They concluded that all the red meats usually consisting of lamb and pork are actually rich in Neu5Gc which further confirmed that the food that came from mammals such as these are the primary contributors to Neu5Gc in the human population who consume them the most. The molecule also has been bio available which means that it can reach out to the tissues in the body through the bloodstream. The research has also shown that the Neu5Gc sugar can be absorbed really well when it comes to human tissues. The hypothesis of the scientists revealed that the consumption of the red meat can be very fatal for the immune system of the human body. The immune system of the human body is always in the continuous process of releasing antibodies that keeps the fight alive against Neu5Gc which is a foreign molecule. The inflammation if gets chronic, can lead to tumor formation.

This hypothesis has been tested in a lot of ways where the research team has been simulating the mice to represent the humans in the experiments and even produced antidote against it which has given out good conclusions. Now, the moment the mice were fed with Neu5Gc, lot of inflammation was observed in their system. The inflammation was so rapid that the tumor started forming out in their system to the tune of 5 times of normal. Dr Varki who apparently initiated the research believes that the reason behind the research was to find out what would be the effect of the Neu5Gc on the humans and feels it would take some time to come out with the conclusion. But he also feels that �it would give rise to the solution of other studies where there have been connections of the red meat to other diseases and have been non explainable. The other diseases also have shown that red meat is a continuous cause to chronic inflammation and has always been causing diseases like atherosclerosis and type 2 diabetes.

However, on the brighter side, the controlled amounts of red meat have also been a nutritious source for the youth. The research, therefore is most likely to come to better conclusions to determine the right dose of red meat that doesn't get carcinogenic in any way.

Researchers Take ‘First Baby Step’ Toward Anti-Aging Drug

Apr 26, 2015

3834

Who does not want to remain young & healthy? Of course, every one of us wants the same. But, it is natural for aging to take its course and as a result of it one suffers from the effects of aging. There has been a lot of research into the making of anti-aging drugs and finally there is some good news. Researchers have developed a drug that could significantly delay the effects of aging and improve the health of elderly people

Researchers with the drug maker Novartis have claimed that the drug they have developed have shown to boost the immune system of seniors. This drug is said to work by targeting a genetic signaling pathway that is linked to aging and immune function. This drug is a version of the drug rapamycin and it showed a 20% improved immune response to a flu vaccine said the researcher. The�study was�published in�Science Translational Medicine.

Dr. Nir Barzilai, director of the Institute for Aging Research at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York City opined that the study is breakthrough into the effects of aging. Rapamycin is a drug that belongs to a class known as mTOR inhibitors and this class is known to nullify the effects of aging and counteract aging-related diseases in mice and other animals. Barzilai said that this experiment is one of the first studies of its kind that have shown results in delaying the effects of aging in humans. He also added that this study has set the stage for using this drug to target aging. It is a turning point as it improves everything about aging.

Dr. Joan Mannick, executive director of the New Indications Discovery Unit at the Novartis Institutes for Biomedical Research and the study lead author said that the mTOR genetic pathway promotes healthy growth in the young. However, it seems that when they have a negative effect on mammals as they grow older. Mannick added that when the drug was used to experiment on mice, it seemed to extend their lifespan and delay the onset of aging-related illnesses. The results were encouraging and hence Mannick and her team decided to test a rapamycin-like drug on elderly and see if they could reverse the natural decline in the elderly people to fight off infections.

For this clinical experiment, more than 200 people about the age of 65 received either the drug or a placebo for several weeks. It was then followed by a dose of flu vaccine. Statistics shows that flu is particularly hard on seniors. About nine out of ten influenza related deaths in the United States occur due to it. The results of this experiment were even more encouraging. Those who received the experimental version of rapamycin developed about 20 percent more antibodies in response to the flu vaccine. In fact, it was seen that even low doses of the medication produced an improved immune response. It was also found by researchers that the people who received the drug had lesser white blood cells associated with age-related immune decline.

Mannick said that this study is a “first baby step,” towards a world of anti-aging drugs. She further added that it is very important to establish the risks and benefits of MTOR inhibitors before they are used to treat aging-related conditions.

Barzilai was however more enthusiastic. He opined that this research could revolutionize the way age-related illnesses are treated. He said that aging is a major risk factor for diseases like heart disease, cancer and other deadly illnesses. If the aging process can be delayed, it will improve people’s health and their lives would be extended.

See Right Through It: How to Improve Your Vision

Apr 5, 2015

Improving Impaired vision

Doctors say that there are four levels of visual function:

Normal vision
Moderate visual impairment
Severe visual impairment
Blindness

Moderate and severe visual impairment both combined are grouped under the term “low vision” and low vision with blindness represents all visual impairment.

If a patient suffers from low vision, then eyeglasses, contact lenses, medicine, or surgery may not help. Daily activities such as watching TV, cooking and reading become very difficult to do. When it comes to the causes of low vision, the leading factors involved are

age,
eye diseases,
macular degeneration,
cataracts
and glaucoma.

What Is Visual Impairment?

Many people suffer from some or the other type of visual problem at some point in their lives. Some cannot see objects at a distance.

Some have problems reading a book up close. These types of visual problems are often easily treated with eyeglasses or contact lenses. Visual impairment is a term that has been used by experts to describe any kind of vision loss, be it partial or complete vision loss.

Key facts

285 million people around the world are estimated to be visually impaired. Out of these 39 million are blind and 246 have low vision. About 90% of the world’s visually impaired live in the third world or developing countries. 82% of people living with blindness are aged 50 and above. Globally, cataracts remains the leading cause of blindness in middle- and low-income countries.

Infectious diseases as a cause of visual impairment has taken a back seat in the last 20 years.

80% of all visual impairment can be avoided or cured.

This specialized program to cure impaired vision takes into consideration all these factors and is a 100% safe tested method to retrieve complete vision.

You do not have to use any eye glasses or contact lenses for this treatment or visit any hospital for the purpose. By using this program that has been designed by a team of experts, we guarantee you that you can rectify your vision completely and permanently.

The need for extensive treatments and medicines and expensive eye surgeries has been eradicated in this therapy module, which gives proven results within not months, but weeks or even days, depending upon the state of impairment.

For decades, the eye care institutions have extorted plenty of money from patients, putting them at high risks and sometimes even failing to deliver what they promise in exchange for such a high cost that has made this business an industry worth billions of dollars.

With the help of this vision restore program you can regain your full vision within weeks, just by practicing the simple methods and techniques told in the program�without any extra costs or visits to the hospitals or clinics.

Forever Young: the Difference between Getting Old and Growing Up

Apr 4, 2015

3989

Growing up and growing old sounds like the same thing. But, they are not essentially the same. One is as old as one feels himself to be. If you are a child at heart, you will not get old but will definitely grow up.

It is obvious that as you grow old, you have to take on additional responsibilities for supporting yourself, your family and the society at large. But, that doesn't mean that life is over and there is no fun left. One has to learn to embrace growing up without feeling old.

Don't get into the mad rush.

Life doesn't just need to be lived; one should enjoy each and every moment they live. Of course, there will be ups and downs; sometimes situations can be trying but, remember to never lose your cool. Everyone has the right to move through life at their own pace. You shouldn't panic about failures and be disheartened when something you desire doesn't materialize. It doesn't mean that you shouldn't be working at all, rather it means that if things take longer than you planned, don't be stressed out. Be patient and enjoy the journey. Everything is going to be alright in the end.

Never stop learning.

There is no right age to learn something new. It is curiosity of a person to learn something new that lets him learn new things. If you have always wanted to learn playing a piano, or learn a new language, pick up photography, start today. It is never too late to learn a new thing. No doubt, your interest may change and evolve as you grow old. But, there is no point in wondering if you should pursue things that you have always wanted to. Learning new things keeps your minset youthful and open.

Say yes� more often.

When opportunities knock on your door, learn to say yes. It can be small things like a random concert, the last-minute dinner or the late-night movie. It might be things that don't fit in your everyday life. But, then these are the things that make your life more interesting. If these are things that make you happy, then just go for it. Everyone deserves to live and small happiness in life is what makes all the difference.

Have friends of all ages.

Typically, we socialize with people of our own age group. When in high school or college, it is easy to make friends with people of our own age, but as we step in adult adulthood, go to work, we have to interact and socialize with people of all ages. When we get a chance to make friends with someone older, we can learn from their experience and wisdom. When we make friends with someone younger, we get to know how much we have learnt over the years. Their enthusiasm about life can keep us energized.

The �Best Days of Life' are yet to come.

Often when we think about our school days and college days, nostalgia hits us. That's because we think that those were our golden days and good time is gone. That is not true. Every day of our life can be a great day to look forward to. And for that we must have the right attitude. We should always keep working to love and live the present moment. We must always think positively about our future.

If you have a positive outlook towards life, it is almost impossible to feel bad about growing up. Look forward to growing older, as the good things in life are yet to come.

7 Signs of Low Self Esteem

Life Style

Apr 3, 2015

5349

Having a low self-esteem can be dangerous as it can hinder your chances of success in life. Low self-esteem comes from a feeling of low self-worth and if not identified, can cause irreversible damage to one's confidence. Therefore, it is important that one is able to identify the signs of low self-esteem. Only when you can identify a problem, can you take steps to cure it.

If you are confident about your abilities and are not affected by other people's opinions and criticism, then it is likely you have a high self-esteem. However, if you are shaken at the slightest criticism, it is likely that you are suffering from a low self-esteem. It is not the only way to gauge a person's self-esteem, there are quite a few other warning signs that one should be able to recognize.

Here are the 7 warning signs of low self-esteem:

Lack of self-confidence:

One of the effects of having a low self-esteem is a lack in self-confidence. People who lack confidence always tend to seek other's approval in whatever they do. Other's opinions define their esteem. Even if they do an excellent job, they will believe it only when others tell them so. There is another way people with low confidence behave � they brag too much about non-existent achievements. It is their way to show superiority when they know that in reality they do not have the confidence of doing better than others.

Non-assertive behavior:

People with low self-esteem usually have a tough time saying �No' to anybody. They are unable assert their feeling and cannot even stand up for their rights. Generally, they lack assertiveness. However, they are people who try to fake assertiveness typically in front of a timid person, just to show off false strength.

Timidity in behavior:

Some people with low esteem are very timid. They cannot handle spotlight and try to make themselves inconsequential. They follow other people's order � however wrong they may be without any protest.

Indecisiveness:

Such people are highly indecisive, partly because they do not want to own responsibility for consequences of their choice. They lack courage and fear criticism and these factors make them postpone taking decisions. They tend to assume that whatever they choose is going to have undesirable consequences. Sometimes, these people are indecisive and they think their choices don't matter. Lack of self-worth is another sign of low self esteem

Blame Others:

Such people always find a way to blame others for their own plight. They blame others because they think by accepting their own mistake, they will diminish themselves. However, they don't understand that by not taking charge of a situation, they are letting themselves driven by circumstances.

Aim Low:

People with a low self-esteem predict their own doom and failure, no matter what. That is why they always aim low and set low targets for themselves. This way they never try to go for big things and cushion their failures. In addition, they give up on things very easily thinking that they are unable to try harder.

Can't Handle Praise:

People with low self-esteem cannot handle praise. They take everything in a negative light. In fact, if you praise them, they will feel embarrassed as if they are undeserving of your compliments. They can never rise to an occasion to help others.

These are some of the telltale signs of low self-esteem. However, do note that it is not necessary that all these signs will be present in a person with low self-esteem. Some of the signs may be absent while others can be there to a lesser of larger extent.

Benefits Of Coffee

Apr 2, 2015

3526

Coffee is actually very healthy. Yes, it is but that doesn’t give you the excuse to run to your nearest Starbucks for the latest flavor of that whipped cream caramel coffee.

Studies show that…

Coffee Improves Your Energy Levels and Makes You Smarter

Coffee can make people feel less tired and more energetic as it contains a stimulant called caffeine, which is the most commonly consumed psychoactive substance in the world. After you drink coffee, the caffeine gets absorbed into the bloodstream. From there on, it travels into the brain, where it blocks an inhibitory neurotransmitter called Adenosine. When this happens, the level of other neurotransmitters like norepinephrine and dopamine automatically increases, which leads to heightened firing of neurons and more alertness. Many studies and experiments show that coffee improves various aspects of brain function, including memory, mood, vigilance, reflexes and also general cognitive function.

Coffee Can Help You Burn That Extra Fat

Finally an answer to all your fat woes. Coffee and caffeine has been found as a cost effective fat burner as it is the main component of almost every commercial fat burning supplement that there is the market. Caffeine is one of the very few natural substances that can actually aid in fat burning. Several studies and controlled experiments have shown that caffeine is very useful in boosting the metabolic rate by 3-11%. Many studies also show that caffeine can substantially increase the burning of fat in our body by as much as 10% in obese individuals and 29% in lean people

Having A Cup of Coffee Can Drastically Improve Physical Performance

Caffeine present in coffee stimulates the nervous system, which causes it to send signals to the fat cells so that they to break down into fatty acids, releasing them into the blood as fuel to the body. Caffeine also increases adrenaline levels in the blood. Adrenaline is designed to make our bodies feel ready to do intense workout or any kind of physical exertion that requires maximum energy. Considering these effects, it may not be surprising to conclude that caffeine can improve physical performance by 11 to 12%. Because of this, many find it useful to have a strong cup of coffee about half an hour before they head to the gym.

Not Just Caffeine But A Treasure Chest Essential Nutrients

Many of the nutrients present in these coffee beans have life altering powers.

A single cup of coffee contains

Manganese and Potassium: 3% of the RDA.
Pantothenic Acid (Vitamin B5): 6% of the RDA.
Riboflavin (Vitamin B2): 11% of the RDA.
Magnesium and Niacin (B3): 2% of the RDA.

Although this may not seem as big a deal but most people are drinking more than one cup per day and if you drink 3-4, then these amounts add up to give you several important nutrients.

Coffee May Lower Your Risk of Type II Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is a gigantic health problem, it is a life threatening health problem which currently affects about 300 million people worldwide. It is characterized by elevated sugar levels in the blood in the context of insulin resistance or no insulin secretion.

For some reason, coffee drinkers have been found to have a significantly low risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Studies show that people who drink coffee regularly have a 23-50% reduced risk of getting diabetes. Another study showed a reduction as high as 67%.

Benefits Of Consuming Grapefruit: The Powerhouse Of Vitamin C

Apr 2, 2015

4212

Grapefruit is a large citrus fruit related to the orange lemon family and might be confused at times with a blood orange. Grapefruits are white (blond), pink or ruby in category depending on the color of their flesh. Grapefruits are usually four to six inches in diameter, which may or not be seedless. It is a juicy and tangy fruit with an underlying sweetness that leaves a tart aftertaste.

Grapefruit is an excellent source of vitamin C. It supports the immune system and reduces cold symptoms or severity of these symptoms. Many scientific studies suggest that vitamin C is a cold-fighter. Vitamin C also prevents free radical from causing damage and triggering inflammatory conditions, such as asthma, osteoarthritis, and rheumatoid arthritis. Vitamin C promotes cardiovascular health as it prevents free radicals from oxidizing cholesterol that leads to plaques that cause heart attacks or stroke. Owing to the multitude of health benefits of vitamin C, it is not surprising that the consumption of grapefruit is associated with reduced death rate from heart diseases, stroke and cancer.

Like Your Lycopene

The rich pink and red lycopene concentration is the reason that grapefruit is so high in this carotenoid phytonutrien. Lycopene is only found in pink and red grapefruit. Lycopene is an anti-tumor compound that among the common dietary carotenoids and it has the highest capacity to fight free radicals, which can damage cells. Choosing to eat lycopene-rich grapefruits regularly may greatly reduce your risk of developing prostate cancer.

Like Your Limonoids As Well

Phytonutrients found in grapefruits are called limonoids. They inhibit tumor formation by promoting the formation of a detoxifying enzyme called glutathione-S-transferase. This enzyme enables the liver to make toxic compounds more water soluble for excretion from the body. The pulp of grapefruit contain glucarates, that can help prevent breast cancer. Not only this, but many studies have concluded that limonoids fight cancers of the mouth, skin, lung and stomach as well.

Cholesterol Is A Different Story

Grapefruit contains a form of soluble fiber called pectin. It has been shown in animal studies that pectin slows down the progression of atherosclerosis. Both white and red grapefruit have been found able to reduce levels of LDL in the bloodstream or bad cholesterol, and red grapefruit diminishes triglycerides as well. According to many researches across the world, red grapefruit was found to contain more bioactive compounds and total polyphenols than the blond ones, but both grapefruits are comparable in their content of fiber, phenolic and ascorbic acids. Although red grapefruit contains slightly more flavonoids and anthocyanins than the blond ones, they both are nonetheless, very healthy. Both the grapefruits significantly improve blood levels of protective antioxidants. Red grapefruit’s better performance may be due to high content of lycopene.

Don’t Let Your Kidney Get Stoned

The tastiest way to reduce your risk of calcium oxalate kidney stones is to drink grapefruit juice. A study recently proved that by drinking 1/2 to 1 liter of grapefruit juice daily, the urinary pH value and citric acid excretion increases, significantly dropping the risk of forming calcium oxalate stones in kidneys.

Scandalous Cancerous

Along with being rich in vitamin C, grapefruit also provides protection against lung and colon cancer. Drinking three 6-ounce glasses of grapefruit juice daily can render a cancer-causing enzyme useless. These chemicals found in tobacco smoke are more harmful than any other and can be harmless if grapefruit is incorporated in your daily diet. Grapefruit juice also promotes the production of normal colon cells and initiates apoptosis of cancer cells. It also prevents weight gain by lowering insulin levels.

Cellulite Treatment: Something That Actually Works

Apr 1, 2015

6174

A lot of people think that cellulite is an illness or a disease, though it is not. Cellulite is just sections of fat around your hips, legs, thighs or stomach. Its appearance is due to the strands of fibrous connective tissues that are anchored to the skin. They pull the skin inward and in the process, plump the fat cells outward. This is what results in the “dimpling” effect on your skin. So, it is wise to say that the root cause of cellulite is excessive weight and lack of exercise.

It is very imperative to clear out the air about how to deal with cellulite in this article. We are not talking about “covering up” or “hiding” your cellulite. We are here to PERMANENTLY resolve this problem for good so that you can wear that bikini, or those abandoned pair of shorts of yours once again.

The biggest problem we face here is is that there are a huge number of MYTHS involving cellulite that confuse women…

Cellulite cream can resolve all the cellulite problems

One word… NO. If anyone claims to have invented an alternative for exercise and physical activity by just applying a cream or a lotion on the body, is an all around bogus affair and people need to be warned against these frauds.

Deep tissue massages can help eradicate cellulite

Same….. NO. All they can help you with is relieve you of the trauma that cellulite is causing to your brain, that too for the time being. They can and will make you feel better but only for and not about your body.

Lasers and drugs are the way to go

There seems to be a repetition…NO. These treatments do not work permanently.

What about liposuction?

Liposuction can and WILL get rid of fat but it will come at an exorbitant cost, not only that, but post surgery pain and uneven skin will make you regret your decision.

�Our program is not just effective, but it’s highly practical and easy and fun to use and you get a “cheat day” also, thus making it very convenient to follow through.

In our specialized program to get rid of cellulite, we will explain to you the 7 important cellulite exercises that will eliminate dimples from your body permanently.

You will know the 17 most important foods that bring about cellulite reduction and also the Top 202 foods that will make you look and feel healthy and sexy.

You can find out how to eat deliciously… and STILL never need to have to worry about fat or cellulite.

You can know easy ways to increase your metabolism and become a fat burning machine.

You understand the inportanc of “cheat days” in your diet.

The futility of other approaches will be put to light and the superiority of our program will be established.

How to avoid refined and processed foods that can sabotage your best efforts to lose fat and cellulite.

Why extreme or “starvation” diets will never work in the long run and always backfire.

The nutritional advantage of organic foods.
