The American Society for Aesthetics Plastic Surgery confirms more than 1.6 million Botox injections were completed during 2002. That makes Botox the most popular non-surgical procedure. The actual name for the drug is Botulinun and it works by paralyzing, on a temporary basis, physical muscles that cause wrinkles. It’s said that Botulinun (Botox) may significantly reduce moderate to severe facial furrows, frown lines, and wrinkles. Botox parties are the new wave social gathering in place of plastic food storage containers in the past.

The question at stake is why do we age? In fact, there are several reasons for the human aging process – lifestyle factors, environmental quality, food, general nutrition, and even basic genetics. Interestingly, different parts of the body may have different rates of aging and for different reasons. The aging process clearly is variable between individuals. As we age, thousands of changes occur within the whole bodily system, stemming from cells through tissues and organs. On a comprehensive basis, each individual human body renews itself on a consistent, ever-evolving cycle.

In a recent article on the subject, it’s documented that six billion cells regenerate daily. On an annual basis, close to 1% of the actual atoms in everyone’s body are totally replaced. Human skin is completely replaced every month, a new stomach lining every 5 days, new skeleton every 90 days, and all red blood cells are replenished every 120 days. However, as the body continues to age, the organs over time lose their total number of cells. Typically, it’s estimated 1% of all cells are lost every year so that by age 45 almost 15% of total cells are lost and, by age 65, almost 30%.

One of the common anti-aging regimens, as listed above, is diet/nutrition. Dr. Nicholas V. Perricone, a Clinical Professor of Medicine at Michigan State University, is the author of a book called “The Perricone Prescription for the Wrinkle Cure; Unlock the Power of Cosmuceuticals for Supple, Youthful Skin”. Perricone’s research indicates that a diet rich in blueberry extract actually reverses short-term memory loss and improves coordination and balance. The Tufts University has done research validating Dr. Perricone’s work. Studies indicate that blueberries have the highest amount of oxidation of all fruits and vegetables, which are thought to prevent cancer, other diseases, and provide anti-aging benefits. Dr. Carolyn Dean, M.D., author of “The Miracle of Magnesium” goes on to state that magnesium should be an integral part of a healthy longevity program. Magnesium rich foods include brown rice, wheat germ, wheat bran, almonds, and peanuts. Your skin is the most noticeable physical part of a person. In living a healthy lifestyle and working to reduce the effects of aging, our skin and, thus, general physical appearance naturally look better. Skin needs to be nourished and cared for.

Dr. Perricone has a natural recipe for a nutritional facelift. It stems from his research that certain ways of eating cause a sub-clinical inflammation that leads to many types of problems from accelerated aging, to heart disease and certain cancers. In an article submitted to Web MD, he theorizes fruits, vegetables, and quantities of cold water fish like Salmon actually reduce the inflammation on a cellular level. His recommendation for a nutritional, safe diet are as follows: for lunch and dinner add green salad (dressing is olive oil and lemon juice), 3 ounces of broiled salmon, tuna, or mackerel, and strawberries, raspberries, and blueberries for dessert.

Cold water fish is rich is Omega 3 fatty acids, which are well documented as anti-aging agents but they specifically fight premature aging of the skin. Using all-natural, premium skin care products are significantly complimentary to an overall plan to improve your skin’s tone, clarity, and beauty.

The final key to looking younger, reversing aging, and promoting beautiful skin is water. Water has an affect on how your body operates on a molecular level and how the molecular structures within the body relate to each other. Interestingly, a human being can live with no food for up to two months, however, without water, death would occur in days. Water aids significantly in digestion and metabolism, it maintains the body’s temperature, and keeps the joints well lubricated. Primarily, it washes out toxins and impurities and is the key factor in how the liver filters waste from the blood. Blood is actually 50% water. An alarming trend is 75% of Americans are severely dehydrated and even mild dehydration slows the metabolism rate by up to 5%. The University of Washington study indicates 8-10 glasses of water daily provides the optimum level for healthy living.
