Myths Surrounding Cellulite Skin Condition

Contrary to what most people think, cellulite skin condition is common. This is probably why more and more myths about cellulite skin condition are popping up. Among the abundant myths, the following are the most common:
Only Fat Women Get Cellulite
Even thin and fit individuals can have cellulite skin condition. It is true that 95% of women generally suffer from cellulite. There are however also thousands of men who also have the same condition.
It is also not necessary that people with cellulite conditions are obese. Even thin people can have cellulite. This is because there is some evidence that cellulite may be caused by genetic predispositions or increased estrogen hormone levels.
All I Need is Exercise
This is the most common myth about the cellulite skin condition. Exercise alone cannot eliminate cellulite that is already present. Some say this is because cellulite is a form of fat that is trapped and cannot be properly burned by exercise. Exercise however can effectively reduce your total body fat even before cellulite appears. Trim and fit people may have cellulite but the cellulite skin condition may be less visible in them and may be seen only by pinching cellulite areas.
The right training exercise program, as well as an active lifestyle can improve the blood flow necessary for toxic waste elimination. Having an active lifestyle therefore almost always beats a sedentary one.
All I Need is a Good Diet
This is also a statement that has received a lot of counter arguments. It is true that eating the right kinds of foods cannot erase cellulite. If you eat less fats and more grains, fruits and vegetables however, you will be able to reduce your body fat and clean up your system. Eating the proper diet can help you get more antioxidants that can fight free radicals that can make your cellulite skin condition worse.
Liposuction is the Only Solution For Me
Liposuction was once thought to be a good solution for cellulite skin condition. This is no longer the case. Cellulite can actually get worse because of liposuction. Liposuction is also not for everyone. It is a surgical procedure that works best only among young patients. Liposuction is generally a shaping method and can only be used by people who are already more or less close to fit and would just like a little muscular or body definition.
There is No Solution for Cellulite
However severe your cellulite skin condition may be, there is always something you can do. Eating right and exercising can help prevent your condition from worsening. The right lifestyle however needs to be supplemented by other treatments. Some topical cellulite creams for example have been proven to be effective. It is true though that there are really topical rip off products that cannot really bring about any results. Some natural products however have shown great promise as cellulite treatments. Product with caffeine, green tea extract, algae extract and retinol A may be good products to use as cellulite treatment.

New Silver Solution is The Silver Bullet That Kills Viruses.
By David Baker | July 6, 2008
Colloidal silver solution aka ‘the silver bullet that kills viruses’ has been revolutionizing how we deal with harmful bacteria and viruses. Silver has been known to benefit mankind in various forms for centuries. It is known that some cultures even today add powdered silver to their newborn’s first bath. This silver solution is used to protect the baby against a harsh world. Early North American pioneers at one time even immersed silver dollars in their drinking water and other liquids, helping to keep liquids fresh longer. NASA, in the Space Shuttle program, opted for a water filtration system with silver as one of the components.* Today, technology allows silver to be available in very small, suspended particles called colloidal silver solution.
Silver, like so many other micro minerals, is considered by many dietary experts to contribute to optimum health. Unfortunately foods do not contain much of this trace element as they have in the past. Yet, human health can suffer when silver amounts are too low. In 1966 I.H. Tipton, a researcher, reported that under normal circumstances, the average diet would yeild approximately 50-100 mcg of silver. Today, since farming and processing practices are different, it is hard to tell what the average diet would include.
Present day technology now provides a colloidal silver solution which has been recently patented and is still being researched in Universities. This ‘New Silver Solution‘ is made up of very tiny micro-particles of pure elemental silver suspended in a pure water solution. The silver solution can now be purchased online and comes in bottles with concentrations of 14 parts of silver for every million parts of water (typically stated as 14 ppm) up to 22 ppm.
What effect does the New Silver Solution have on the helpful bacteria in our intestines?
Whether The New Silver Solution is harmful to helpful bacteria is an important consideration. Antibiotics have been known to destroy friendly bacteria which exist in our large intestines. Our friendly ‘germs’ produce B vitamins as well as folic acid for us while competing against pathogenic or unfriendly viruses and bacteria preventing them from multiplying or causing infection. Many antibiotics are known to destroy many of these friendly bacteria, especially broad-spectrum antibiotics. Because of this we are left susceptable to super infections while taking some of these antibiotics. Independent studies both at Brigham Young University and Viridi Biopharma have effectively shown that ‘The New Silver Solution’ does not present such a problem.
With tens of thousands of people currently using the New Silver Solution for so long nobody has ever reported having even one single negative gastrointestinal side effect. Testing in vitro has indicated that the silver solution does not kill these benevolent, probiotic, bacteria.
Patented: The NEW Silver Solution is so new and effective that it was deemed a new product, and therefore approved for patent by the United States Patent Agency. The New Silver Solution has the only two patent approvals on a colloidal silver product in the last 80 years. The patent has also been filed internationally, as well as specifically in Japan.
Getting ‘The New Silver Solution’ which is patented can be a valued addition to your wellness Cabinet. Also many people have found it useful for external applications for various situations.

What Sleep Has to Do with Weight Loss
By Christine Sutherland | July 3, 2008
Up until recently we used to admire people who claimed they needed very little sleep. There was even a view that a need for little sleep was related to higher intelligence!
But now we know that a lack of sufficient sleep is one of the main causes of overweight, as well as mental and physical illness.
In fact a lack of sufficient sleep is now being seen as a modern disease, creating stress, compromising the body’s ability to regenerate, and even lowering our basic metabolic rate. Our metabolic rate plays a crucial role in weight loss and is every bit as important as the amount of food that we eat, and the amount of activity we have.
For instance many diet companies will tell you that weight loss is simple, just a matter of “energy in/energy out”. This is a particularly stupid lie, because the state of your metabolism is more important than either.
Because the quality of your sleep has such a big impact on weight loss, quality sleep is an essential part of any weight loss program, although the actual amount varies from one individual to another. Most adults need at least 7.5-8.0 hours of uninterrupted sleep each night. Children and teenagers require much more - around 12-13 hours of sleep each night.
When it comes to recovery from serious illness, quality sleep becomes even more important.
9 Steps to Improve Sleep
1 Sleep time is as precious as the air you breathe, so guard it well. Who cares if the house is a mess! It’s far more important that every member of the family get their sleep time.
If sleep interruption is beyond your control (for example if you have small children or a sick partner who needs care during the night) make sure you get extra sleep during the day, and also make sure you get some nights off.
2 Have a routine. A time for slowing down in the evening, a time for going to bed, a time for waking up, a time for all of the activities you need to do in the day. Although you’ll obviously vary your routine from time to time, your regular routine will help to train your brain for efficient “shut down”.
3 Slow Down Before Bed. Keep away from alcohol or stimulants for at least an hour before bed, and avoid stimulating books or television programs. Dim the lights, play some nice music, and relax.
4 Remove Unacceptable Stress from Your Life. Oftentimes people find it hard to relax enough to go to sleep, or to stay asleep, because they’re plagued by troublesome thoughts. There are highly-effective techniques to both remove the stress, and to deal with the thoughts. The two most commonly used are Logotherapy and NeuroStim, both of which you’ll find help for on the forums at TopLifeSolutions.com.
5 Prepare Your Bedroom. Of course your bed and pillows etc should be comfortable! But in addition your room should be dark and on the cool side, with fresh air. Those are ideal sleeping conditions.
6 If you should be sleeping, stay in your bed. I know that some “experts” tell people they shouldn’t stay in bed if they can’t sleep, but I really can’t agree. Their theory is that bed should only be associated with sleep, not with waking, but there are lots of things linked to bed that are no problem at all, like reading, having sex, resting, being unwell, or whatever. I say “stay there” because this will teach your brain that bed is the right place to be at this time of night.
And there’s very good evidence for my stance on this. Take the example of a baby or small child whom we’re helping to move into a good sleep routine. One thing we never do is, after a time of trying, get them up out of their bed! The idea is to provide as little stimulation as we possibly can because otherwise that would be training them to be wakeful - the exact opposite of what we’re hoping to achieve.
This means that you can be confident that staying in bed is the best thing you can do to build better sleep habits.
7 Be Active During the Day. A good level of physical activity is essential to good sleep.
8 Enjoy good relationships with everyone around you. If you have strained relationships, or adversarial relationships, this will detract from your sense of wellbeing and therefore will definitely impact on your sleep. Get your relationships in shape and you’ll enjoy much better sleep.
9 Enjoy a good, healthy diet with lots of variety. If you eat well your body is easily able to produce the hormones required for good sleep. Avoid fad diets like the extreme low-carb diet for example, because this robs the body of the ability to produce adequate melatonin (and also causes depression!).
