Although the advancements and developments of subliminal suggestions can be likened to a rollercoaster ride due to its numerous ups and downs, people still havent lost hope and interest in finding out whether subliminals are really effective or not.</p><p>Many people still ask their friends, colleagues, and even doctors and psychologists do subliminals work?.</p><p>Modern And Simplified Meaning Of The Word Subliminal</p><p>Subliminal discernment takes place whenever certain stimulus or stimuli are induced lower than the threshold or brink of awareness of the human mind.  These subliminals are said to influence actions, thoughts, and feelings. Originally, the word subliminal was coined to refer to situations that involve very weak stimuli that are targeted to be perceived by the unconscious mind.</p><p>Currently, the word subliminal refers to any condition wherein unnoticeable and/or weak stimuli are detected and interpreted by the unconscious mind.</p><p>Psychological Studies Pertaining To Subliminals And Their Effectiveness</p><p>The theory of subliminal awareness is very interesting due to the fact that individuals&#8217; feelings, actions and thoughts are greatly manipulated, influenced and affected by stimuli that are received without any trace of conscious detection and interpretation.  The great interest in subliminal suggestions can be traced back to psychological studies that date back to the late 1800s and early 1900s.</p><p>In the psychological studies conducted in earlier times, the subjects were plainly asked whether they are aware that they are perceiving certain kinds of stimulus or not.  The subjects were presented with different kinds of stimuli such as visual stimuli (digits, geometric figures, letters) and auditory stimuli (whispers, voice recordings over music or other sounds).  The visual stimuli were presented at a certain distance from the subjects that make it hard or quite difficult for them to discern its shape, color or figure.</p><p>Some participants of the study claimed that they only saw dots and blurred figures while some claimed not to have seen anything at all.  Similarly, the auditory stimuli were also presented to the subjects as faintly and weakly as possible.</p><p>As mentioned earlier, whispers were used as well as playing of music or recordings in the lowest volume possible.  In short, the purpose of the study was to give certain auditory and visual stimulus vaguely and then find out whether the participants unconscious mind dominated over the conscious perception.</p><p>After the presentation of the stimuli, the participants were asked to give their guesses as to what kind of stimuli they received.   For example, the participants would be asked to guess whether the visual stimuli were pictures, letters or number.  As for the auditory stimuli, the participants may have been asked what they thought they heard, amidst the vagueness or weakness of the auditory stimuli presented.</p><p>The astounding result of early studies stated that the guesses of the observers who were presented with vague stimuli were greatly more correct than normal guesses (without any stimuli at all).  In other words, the results of the study may support the belief that the unconscious mind can comprehend or perceive what the conscious mind cannot.</p><p>As years passed by, more studies pertaining to subliminal messages have been conducted; some have been clearly patterned from the early studies conducted while some have been slightly modified.</p><p>At present, there are still no hard facts that can prove or disprove the effectiveness of subliminals but hopefully, people can get a concrete answer when they ask the question do subliminals work?.</p> <img src="http://antiagingclues.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&id=403&type=feed" alt="" />]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://antiagingclues.com/anti-aging-mind-power/suggestions-and-affirmations-that-target-the-unconscious-do-subliminals-work/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Silent Subliminals: Too Good To Be True?</title><link>http://antiagingclues.com/anti-aging-mind-power/silent-subliminals-too-good-to-be-true/</link> <comments>http://antiagingclues.com/anti-aging-mind-power/silent-subliminals-too-good-to-be-true/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Mon, 11 Jan 2010 18:54:33 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Gill Favor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Mind Power]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://antiagingclues.com/anti-aging-mind-power/silent-subliminals-too-good-to-be-true/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Silent subliminal messages are made silent because they are recorded at very high frequencies that are not really masked by music, noise, or any other sound.

The amazing thing about silent subliminals is that even though they cant be heard, they have a great effect on the minds of people who are able to hear them.  The subliminals infiltrate individuals minds unconsciously and all information are also encoded in the unconscious mind of a person.</p><p>Subliminal messages have gathered a lot of sceptics because a lot of people find it hard to believe that an inaudible sound can greatly and effectively affect ones unconscious mind.  Some people think that subliminal messages are just made and distributed by quack doctors, psychologists and psychiatrists but in reality, these inaudible messages that target the unconscious minds of the individuals are really effective.</p><p>Convenient And Effective</p><p>People who choose to listen to subliminal messages to help them change their perspective, achieve their goals or boost their self-esteem enjoy the privilege of having the option to listen to the messages whenever they want and wherever they are.  They can listen to eat while eating breakfast, watching TV, driving through traffic, taking a bath, etc.  Silent subliminal messages can even be played before and during sleeping!</p><p>How Are Silent Subliminal Messages Recorded?</p><p>Subliminal voice affirmations are recorded on an inaudible, powerful, super high-audio frequency carrier in a format that can be easily detected and decoded by the human ear.  The subliminal voice affirmations vibrate the tympanic membrane of the ear at the strongest yet safest level.</p><p>Better Than Masked Recordings</p><p>With extensive research and study, silent subliminal messages are said to be way better than masked affirmation recordings because they infiltrate and affect both the conscious and unconscious mind better.  The signal strength of subliminal voice recordings are 10 billion times more than the strength of masked recordings that is why the human brain can better detect and decode the subliminal messages in the brain rather than the masked recordings.</p><p>Even Deaf People Can Hear The Ultra High Frequency Vibrations</p><p>If you think that deaf people cant enjoy the good effects of subliminal voice recordings, think again.  Thanks to the innovative technology, the ultra high frequency vibrations of subliminal messages can also cater to the hearing disability of deaf people.  A study held at the Medical College of Virginia held on July 5, 1991 confirmed that not only people who have normal and healthy hearing capabilities can enjoy the effects of subliminal messages.  Deaf people can also hear and understand the subliminal recordings because they are transmitted at high-frequency levels.</p><p>Think about this, if even deaf people can hear and understand the subliminal messages, then it must really be effective to humans who have healthy hearing capabilities.</p><p>Whether you are a believer or a skeptic of the effectiveness of silent subliminal messages, you can never really come to a valid conclusion unless you yourself have tried to listen to these subliminal recordings.  There have been no reported cases of subliminal messages causing great harm or damage to the auditory senses of individuals as well as the brain functioning.</p><p>Individuals must also remember that the effect of subliminal messages vary per person because of the individual differences bestowed upon human beings.</p> <img src="http://antiagingclues.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&id=400&type=feed" alt="" />]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://antiagingclues.com/anti-aging-mind-power/silent-subliminals-too-good-to-be-true/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Find Out Exactly What Might Be Causing You To Get</title><link>http://antiagingclues.com/skin-care/find-out-exactly-what-might-be-causing-you-to-get/</link> <comments>http://antiagingclues.com/skin-care/find-out-exactly-what-might-be-causing-you-to-get/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 09 Jan 2010 07:54:25 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Gill Favor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Skin care]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://antiagingclues.com/skin-care/find-out-exactly-what-might-be-causing-you-to-get/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Find Out Exactly What Might Be Causing You To Get So Many Wrinkles People everywhere are in full panic when they look into their mirrors and they see that first fine line or that first really noticeable wrinkle and yet they are still so young.

Why is this happening? What are the causes for such traumatic skin ailments? Well, in this article I want to tell you a little bit more about some of the causes for wrinkles and why it is so important to get it under control sooner, rather than later. If you wait too long to start trying to fight the aging process, you might as well just hang it up because other than maybe eliminating some of the fine lines, you will probably just be very let down by not getting the type of results that you are hoping for, which none of us want to have to deal with.</p><p>It can be so very depressing to wake up and look into that mirror and see someone much older staring back but the fact that you do have many different options to try and prevent and remove wrinkles is so encouraging and you should really be thankful that all of these types of products are being marketed and sold faster than they can put them on the shelves. It is such a wonderful thing when you actually spend money on something and you get the results that you were promised, that is what we all want anyway right. It is time for you to find out exactly what might be causing you to get so many wrinkles, so that you can begin fighting against them and doing something to remove most of them and to prevent so many of them from coming back, worse than ever. When we start to get a little older the elasticity in our skin starts to lessen, which is the why are skin starts to show signs of wrinkles. The protein in our skin becomes very damaged thanks to air pollution, drinking, smoking, not taking preventative measures and several other factors also play a part in aging before your time.</p><p>It is important to learn all that there is to know about this type of stuff so that you can begin trying to do something more about it, so that you do not turn into a pile of wrinkles when you are in your thirties, that is way before it should ever occur. Different types of creams and moisturizers can help in replenishing your skin and preventing wrinkles from popping up each and every time that you look into the mirror. If you can try your hardest to take better care of your skin now, you will be very pleased by the results later on in life and others will definitely notice the difference, which is always a good ego booster. Talk to your family members or close friends about how they fight the aging process, sometimes other people can provide you with the information that you are searching for, regarding wrinkles, and which types of skin care products are the best.</p> <img src="http://antiagingclues.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&id=572&type=feed" alt="" />]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://antiagingclues.com/skin-care/find-out-exactly-what-might-be-causing-you-to-get/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Products on Personal Care for Beauty and Health</title><link>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/products-on-personal-care-for-beauty-and-health/</link> <comments>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/products-on-personal-care-for-beauty-and-health/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Wed, 06 Jan 2010 17:56:02 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Gill Favor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Health]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/products-on-personal-care-for-beauty-and-health/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Everyday, people use personal health care items or products.

If so, you will likely turn to the internet.  Aside from the Master Cleanse, water fasting is a popular detox diet approach.  However, many find it difficult, if not impossible.  If you are looking for similar results, but with a much easier approach, you should try a juice fast.</p><p>So, what makes a juice fast a great way to detoxify your body?</p><p>1  Your Options</p><p>First and foremost, it is important to know that you cannot consume any type of juice.  The purpose of a detox is to cleanse your body and expel toxins that have accumulated throughout the years.  You cannot successfully do this if you continue to consume juices with unnatural additives.  For that reason, only consume organic or all-natural juice.  With that said, you still have many options.</p><p>All-natural juices are sold in many grocery stores.  Look for a label that states the product is certified organic.  This is proof that you are drinking a 100% all natural juice.  For an easier approach, shop at a specialty organic food store, where all food and drinks are natural.</p><p>2  You Can Make Your Own</p><p>As previously stated, all-natural, organic juice is available for sale in the United States.  You can also make your own.  All that you need is a collection of fruits and vegetables and a juicer.  Although a juicer will cost money, on average between $50 and $200, it will be well worth the investment.  During a 5-day body detox, you can easily benefit from your purchase.  Plus, it is a home appliance that can be used again or later resold.</p><p>3  Taste</p><p>Ask anyone who has tried water fasting or the Master Cleanse and one of their number one complaints will be taste.  With water fasting, there is no taste.  You may find yourself craving some type of flavor.  Yes, this craving will likely pass, but it may seem unbearable.  If you enjoy good tasting foods and drinks, a juice fast is a better option for you.  In fact, that is another benefit to buying a juicer, as you can experiment with flavors to create your own unique blend of all-natural fruit or vegetable juices.</p><p>4  Nutrients</p><p>The Master Cleanse involves cayenne pepper and grade B maple syrup.  These two items help to give you some nutrients, although small.  On the other hand, you will receive no nutrients when on a water fast.  That is why extended detoxification is advised against.  With juice fasting, you do not have this problem.  You will still receive nutrients that the body needs to stay health.  For that reason, you will not only feel an improvement at the conclusion of your detox diet, but during it as well.</p><p>5  Weight Loss</p><p>Unfortunately, many people make the mistake of believing that you cannot lose weight while on a juice diet.  This is not true.  When on a juice fast, you eliminate solid foods.  That allow will reduce your calorie intake and help you shed the pounds.  Yes, you may not lose as much weight on a juice fast as you would fasting on water, but you will notice a difference.  Even still, a juice fast is recommended for improvement of overall health and wellbeing; it should not be used only as a weight loss plan.</p><p>PPPPP</p><p>Word Count 554</p> <img src="http://antiagingclues.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&id=640&type=feed" alt="" />]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/5-reasons-to-detox-with-a-juice-fast/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Detox Foot Pads:  Do They Work?</title><link>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/detox-foot-pads-do-they-work/</link> <comments>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/detox-foot-pads-do-they-work/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sat, 02 Jan 2010 10:59:05 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Gill Favor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Health]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/detox-foot-pads-do-they-work/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Do you pay attention to television commercials or occasionally watch late night infomercials?

If so, you may have heard of detox food pads.  The manufacturers and sellers of detox foot patches claim they can improve your health, but do they really work?  It all depends.</p><p>Before further focusing on detox foot patches and their success, it is important to understand what they are and what they are supposed to do.  Detox foot pads are similar to traditional pads and bandages, but they are adhesive.  This keeps the pads safely positioned on your feet.</p><p>Detox foot pads are made by a number of different manufacturers.  Each manufacturer has their own formulas, but many patches contain wood or bamboo vinegar.  Although there is not any scientific proof to backup the claims that this ingredient helps to detox the body, many claim success.</p><p>Returning back to whether these detox pads work, it is important to look at vitamins and herbs.  Whether you visit a health store, department store, or shop online, you will find many herbs that contain the phrase These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.  With that said, many of these herbs do work and thousands, if not millions, of Americans will attest to it.  So, just because a statement has not officially been released, it does not mean that detox foot pads will not work for you.</p><p>When trying a new product, it is advised that you read product reviews online.  As previously stated, there are many manufacturers of detox foot patches.  Pay close attention to these different brands, as you will find a difference.  Not all detox foot patches are made with the same ingredients.  You can easily see this by visiting Amazon.com and performing a search with detox foot.  Amazon.com allows ratings and reviews.  Some products are rated higher than others.</p><p>Reading product reviews is a great way to gauge the success of a product, but proceed with caution when reviewing detox foot pads.  You will read, as well as see on infomercials, that the pads change to a dark brown or black color.  Most assume this is proof that toxins are being eliminated from the body.  There are some claims that this color is due to the mixture of sweat and the above mentioned vinegar, not toxins.</p><p>When reading product reviews for detox food pads, to find the best product, instead look for detailed reviews.  Avoid those that say I saw the toxins with my own eyes!  Instead, look for reviews were people discuss an improvement in their health, skin, or overall wellbeing.  After all, that is the point of a detox.  A detox should leave you feeling like a new, person with more energy.</p><p>On average, you can purchase a 5-day supply of detox food pads for $15 to $30.  For some, this may not seem like a large investment and may be worth the try.  If you on a budget and cannot justify spending money on a product that may or may not work, consider more natural or cheaper approaches.  Eating organic foods can prevent new toxins from building up, allowing your body to work on eliminating stored ones.  Water and juice fasting can be difficult, due to the lack of solid foods, but they are successful and affordable ways to detox your body.</p><p>PPPPP</p><p>Word Count 554</p> <img src="http://antiagingclues.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&id=647&type=feed" alt="" />]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/detox-foot-pads-do-they-work/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Personal Health Care Examination for Early Years</title><link>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/personal-health-care-examination-for-early-years/</link> <comments>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/personal-health-care-examination-for-early-years/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Thu, 31 Dec 2009 16:39:46 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Gill Favor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Health]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/personal-health-care-examination-for-early-years/</guid> <description><![CDATA[In a mans life, there will come a time when he has to take a trip down check-up lane for his annual medical examination.

Although not everyone is taking part, it<br /> is quite important to have your doctor see how your<br /> health is doing. Personal health care examination can<br /> decrease a persons chances of getting sick or<br /> acquiring a disease because of early diagnosis. There<br /> would be other reasons why people would be advised or<br /> would want to go to the physician:</p><p>1. Assessment of any risk that can contribute to<br /> future medical problems. Sometimes people can be so<br /> hardheaded and would not go to the doctor because they<br /> would argue about not feeling anything. Bad news is,<br /> the moment an illness strike, it may be because its<br /> getting serious. Earlier diagnosis equates earlier<br /> treatment.</p><p>2. Screen for present diseases. If you are already<br /> experiencing something painful or odd going in your<br /> body, it is a must to let the doctor see it<br /> immediately no matter how little the pain is or how<br /> small the inconvenience is contributing to your body.<br /> Visiting your doctor will give you more chances of<br /> asking the hows and whys of your present condition<br /> and appropriate intervention to prevent further damage<br /> to your system.</p><p>3. Encourage the practice of healthy lifestyles. With<br /> a very busy world, it will be too much for the working<br /> population to give a certain piece of their time to<br /> practice healthy living. Most of the time, the working<br /> community indulge themselves on work which produces a<br /> lot of stress. Having a routine check to their doctor<br /> can prescribe natural ways to have a lifestyle thats<br /> healthy.</p><p>For ages which belong to the early years, ages 18-40,<br /> it is of dire importance to build a professional<br /> relationship with their physician. These early years<br /> are the time where people are very active in any kind<br /> of activity. Sadly, these are also the years that<br /> people tend to give into a lot of temptations and<br /> abuse their healthy body mainly because theyre young<br /> and strong.</p><p>Unfortunately, even if people feel like theres<br /> nothing wrong with their body, there are certain<br /> diseases that needs time to become dangerous to the<br /> body. Potential problems may arise over time that is<br /> why, an early check-up is better than taking up tons<br /> of medication because its too late and the disease<br /> has already worsen. Prevention is better than cure.</p><p>For ages 18 ranging to 40, there are the examinations<br /> involving your personal health.</p><p>a. Blood Pressure  this determines the pressure of<br /> the blood that goes through the vessels of a human<br /> body. The ideal checking of blood pressure is every<br /> two years.

You can use either an aneroid monitor or a digital one. There are advantages and disadvantages to both.</p><p>An aneroid monitor has a dial gauge and your blood pressure is read by a pointer. You inflate the cuff by hand using a rubber bulb. With a digital monitor you can choose a manual cuff or an automatic one. You can read your blood pressure reading on a screen digitally as well. You want to choose the one you are more comfortable using.</p><p>An aneroid monitor is very portable. The cuff that comes with this monitor also has a stethoscope built into it. The aneroid blood pressure monitors range cheaper in price compared to the digital ones. A down side to this monitor is that it may be too hard for some people to hear as well as too hard to squeeze the bulb.</p><p>Digital monitors are the more popular blood pressure monitoring devices because they are automatic. Unlike the pointer on an aneroid device, the digital device shows your numbers on a screen. This makes it a lot easier to read. You can even purchase a digital monitor that comes with a paper print out feature. This would make it easier to keep a record of your blood pressure readings.</p><p>The digital monitor has a gauge as well as a stethoscope. With the digital monitor it has an error code which can be very beneficial and automatic deflation of the cuff. With a digital monitor you have to use batteries and depending on the model you may have to use your left arm. You can purchase a digital monitor anywhere from thirty dollars to ninety and higher.</p><p>You want to choose a blood pressure monitoring device with a cuff that is the right size for you. The right cuff size will ensure correct blood pressure readings. Ask your doctor if you are unsure of what size you need. Be sure you can easily read and operate the device.</p><p>If money plays a factor in your decision choose a device that fits your needs as well as your budget. When it comes to your health you have to decide if you can really put a price on it. While you do not want to spend an unreasonable amount of money on something like this, you still might have to splurge a little extra.</p><p>Look around and see what your options are. You might know someone that has a home blood pressure monitor. If so, ask them what they might recommend. They might recommend whatever device they are using now or tell you to steer clear of it.</p><p>You want to choose one that is easy for you to use and read. Be sure you can understand how to operate it as well. The less confusing it is to use, the more beneficial it will be. Imagine how much better you are going to feel once you gain control of your blood pressure. It will be much simpler by monitoring from home as well as having regular check ups at your doctor visits. Lower blood pressure lessens your risks of a stroke or heart and kidney disease. This alone should make you feel much better.</p> <img src="http://antiagingclues.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&id=457&type=feed" alt="" />]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/finding-the-right-blood-pressure-home-monitor/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>Detox Your Body on a Budget</title><link>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/detox-your-body-on-a-budget/</link> <comments>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/detox-your-body-on-a-budget/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Sun, 27 Dec 2009 20:30:51 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Gill Favor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Health]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/detox-your-body-on-a-budget/</guid> <description><![CDATA[Do you want to renew your energy?

Do you look or feel as if you are twice your age?  If so, a body detox, also known as a cleanse, may be the answers to your problems.  Unfortunately, when many think of a body detox, dollar signs come to mind.  Yes, a whole body detox or cleanse can be expensive, but it all depends on which approach you take.</p><p>Please continue reading on for tips on how you can detoxify your body and rid it of unnatural toxins while on a budget.</p><p>One of the best ways to detoxify your body while on a budget is with water.  Why?  Because water is free.  Unless it is known that your drinking water is unhealthy, your tap water can be used for a water fast.  You may even wish to alternative between tap water and bottled water, which still allows you to save money.</p><p>In terms of water and detoxification, many opt for water fasting.  Water fasting involves only consuming water.  During the fast, you will not consume other liquid or solids.  Another way to look at it is with the money you can save by temporarily eliminating food from your diet.</p><p>Yes, the water fasting can be done free of charge, but it is important to know the risks.  Those with certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, are urged against water fasting.  In fact, all individuals should first seek professional healthcare advice.  Water fasting will temporarily rid your body of needed nutrients.  This can leave you feeling sluggish or lacking energy; therefore, the limiting of strenuous activity is recommended.  An ideal length for a water fast is three to five days.</p><p>Since the goal of detox is to rid your body of unnatural and potentially unhealthy chemicals, a detox can also be performed with organic foods.  This option is nice if you have fears associated with not eating.  When on an organic diet, you should continue to drink water, as well as eat foods that are high in fiber.  If you are a soda or coffee drinker, these drinks should be eliminated from your diet.  In fact, water can ease the price of organic foods, as it will leave you feeling full and less hungry.</p><p>Although many individuals view the temporary switch to organic foods as the simplest way to detoxify the body, there is the cost factor.  It is no secret that organic foods cost more.  You could easily pay $1 or $2 more for a box of cereal.  If you are on a budget, you can still eat organic foods, but look for the best deals.  In addition to shopping at the organic food section of your grocery store, visit all-natural food stores.  You can find the best deals, look for great sales, as well as use coupons.</p><p>Although you can detox your body with water or by consuming organic only foods, there are many products available for sale.  Many find this an easier approach to take than fasting.  If you do, read product reviews online.  For starters, this will help you save money, as you will become aware of what works and what doesnt.  You can find product reviews with a standard internet search.</p><p>In terms of saving money, also use the internet to your advantage.  Many product reviews also contain product information, like price.  Do not pay more.  Also, use the internet to price compare, as many retailers sell detoxification and cleansing products.</p><p>As previously stated, some find the use of cleansing pills easier, but it isnt always.  Many over-the-counter products only aid your body in detoxification.  The best way to rid your body of harmful toxins is to stop consuming them, especially during a cleanse.  This means that your pills may call for a liquid only diet or just fruits and vegetables.  If you cannot follow these instructions, save your money, as the product will not work unless used as directed.</p><p>In short, there are many ways for you to cleanse your body of harmful toxins.  Fortunately, many of these approaches are easily to implement and affordable.</p><p>PPPPP</p><p>Word Count 680</p> <img src="http://antiagingclues.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&id=651&type=feed" alt="" />]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/detox-your-body-on-a-budget/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> <item><title>The Importance of Your Weight As a Senior</title><link>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/weight-senior/</link> <comments>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/weight-senior/#comments</comments> <pubDate>Fri, 25 Dec 2009 01:37:40 +0000</pubDate> <dc:creator>Gill Favor</dc:creator> <category><![CDATA[Health]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cancer]]></category> <category><![CDATA[cholesterol]]></category> <category><![CDATA[diabetes]]></category> <category><![CDATA[disease]]></category> <category><![CDATA[hypertension]]></category> <category><![CDATA[osteoporosis]]></category> <category><![CDATA[overweight]]></category> <category><![CDATA[prostate]]></category> <category><![CDATA[weight loss]]></category><guid isPermaLink="false">http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/the-importance-of-your-weight-as-a-senior/</guid> <description><![CDATA[While maintaining a healthy body weight is important no matter how old you are, it becomes exceeding critical after you pass over the age of 50.

Keeping your weight under control is one of the best things you can do to live a longer and happier life.</p><p>It is not unusual to allow your weight to slowly add on as you get older, while it is also normal to have had a weight problem your entire life.</p><p>However, being overweight puts you at a much higher health risk for a variety of diseases.  Here is a look at some of the reasons why.</p><p>Diabetes is a major health problem that is clearly linked to body weight.  Overweight people are much more likely to develop type 2 diabetes.  Losing weight can allow diabetics to see an improvement in blood sugar shortly after losing even a couple pounds.  Having diabetes also increases your risk of developing heart disease and cancer.</p><p>Heart disease is the biggest killer in the United State, and the American Heart Association estimates that someone dies approximately every 33 seconds from a heart attack.<br /> Half of adults also have hypertension, and these are both tied to being overweight.  The more weight you have, the harder your heart needs to work.</p><p>A poor diet can also cause other heart-related issues like arteriosclerosis, and higher cholesterol, triglycerides, and homocystine.  People who lose weight will often see a drop in their blood pressure, reducing risks.</p><p>Osteoporosis is another major problem, especially for women.  It can lead to bone fractures and spinal vertebrae collapsing.  Losing weight may help prevent the disease by relieving pressure on the bones and joints.</p><p>It can also help with back problems, since for every 10 pounds of weight you add to your frame your muscles have to compensate by exerting up to 50 more pounds of pressure.</p><p>Another big killer is cancer, and its rates continue to climb.  Being overweight may not directly cause cancer, but overweight women have a higher frequency of breast, cervical, and ovarian cancers.  Men eating high fat diets have higher rates of prostate cancer.</p><p>Preventing disease is only part of living longer; you also have to keep up your mind and your body.  Of all the people that lived to be 100 or older, none were overweight, and all were normal or below normal in body weight.</p><p>Keeping weight down can even improve your sex life.  The better you feel about yourself, the more you will enjoy having sex.  Even losing some of your excess weight can make you feel better about yourself.</p><p>All in all, keeping an ideal body weight will help you feel better and live longer.  This does not mean that you have to starve yourself or look like a skeleton with skin on.<br /> Your doctor will be able to advice you of specific weight loss tactics to help you shed the extra pounds.  He or she can also give you a realistic weight loss goal that matches up with your individual health and body type.<br /> A doctor should always be consulted before making any drastic changes in your routine.</p> <img src="http://antiagingclues.com/?ak_action=api_record_view&id=703&type=feed" alt="" />]]></content:encoded> <wfw:commentRss>http://antiagingclues.com/health-aging/weight-senior/feed/</wfw:commentRss> <slash:comments>0</slash:comments> </item> </channel> </rss>
