Preventing wrinkles. It’s quite a conundrum. So many people ask the question “what’s the best way to prevent wrinkles” and spend their life searching for the top wrinkle cream.

The first thing to say is that there is no one way to prevent wrinkles. Wrinkles are a natural part of aging and if you’re aging, as all of us do, you’ll get wrinkles. There’s no getting around that, it’s just a question of the age you get them, and how many wrinkles you’ll get.

Wrinkles form because of a number of factors, all associated with the aging process. Wrinkles and lines form on our faces, particularly certain parts of our faces like around the mouth and eyes, but also on other parts of our bodies. Wrinkling is just visible aging, and you won’t find anyone over, say, 80, that doesn’t have wrinkles somewhere.

So the first thing that you need to do if you’re looking for an answer to the question “what’s the best way to prevent wrinkles” is to accept that you will always suffer from wrinkles if you get old enough. To an extent you’ll need to learn to live with wrinkles.

Wrinkles form as a result of many interlinked factors. As we age our skin loses some of it’s collagen and elastin, and this causes our skin to lose the firmness and elasticity that it exhibited when we were younger. Aging skin is lower in collagen and elastin than young skin.

And as we age our skin is more and more under attack from free radicals that damage the cells that make up our skin structure, and cause poor skin health.

As well as this our skin suffers from damage from other factors, such as sunburn or even just normal exposure to UV from the sun, and from the effects of toxins and chemicals in our general environment. And if you smoke you’re just about guaranteed to have poor skin health as you age.

And believe it or not our skin can also be damaged from the use of mainstream skincare products. Yes many big brand skincare products actually contain ingredients that can damage our skin.

However that’s the bad news. Now for the good news. There are things you can do to lessen the onset of skin wrinkles and lines, and reduce their visible effects.

I’m not talking about Botox injections or plastic surgery here. These are only temporary solutions to wrinkles that work for a limited time then actually look worse than before the operation. Botox or cosmetic surgery is never a long term solution to wrinkles, and is also expensive, painful and often the result is worse than the problem.

So the solution to limiting the look of skin wrinkles is far simpler than that. Note I said simple, not easy.

The way to slow, or lessen, the onset of wrinkles is twofold. Firstly it’s about staying healthy. And I’m not just talking about skin health here, but staying healthy overall. Because skin health is a function of overall health, one cannot be divorced from the other.

Good diet with plenty of fruit and vegetables in your diet will help massively. Pizza and burgers won’t keep you, or your skin, healthy. Fruit and vegetables are rich in vitamins and minerals and anti oxidants, and help with skin health.

And regular exercise is very important as well, helping with skin health and wrinkle prevention in so many ways.

And don’t smoke. Smoking is the worst thing you can do for your skin.

And the second part of a simple formula that is the best way to prevent wrinkles is the use of a top shelf skin care and anti wrinkle routine, including a top wrinkle cream that contains only natural, safe ingredients. And regular use of other high quality skincare products.

Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not referring to those big brand name skin care products that you see advertised on TV and on the shelves of the department stores. Unfortunately those aren’t high quality skin care products. Most contain very little active ingredients, and many contain ingredients that can actually damage your skin.

I’m referring to natural skin care products that utilize all natural and safe organic ingredients that work extremely well. There are small niche companies that produce products like these, and they put their budgets into producing top shelf products rather than toward TV advertising. They cannot compete with the big brands and so occupy their niche in the market by product quality rather than Television saturation.

That’s the best way to prevent wrinkles. As I said, it’s simple, but not easy. There is no easy way to prevent wrinkles that works, wrinkles are a part of life, and whilst so many people search for the easy and complete solution to wrinkle prevention it is, sadly, unattainable.

But follow those simple steps and you’ll live a long healthy life, and keep most wrinkles at bay more than all those other women out there looking for an easy answer to preventing wrinkles.

The home builders in Florida Keys FL are always watching for the latest home trends. It seems there is an interest in people opting to live a greener lifestyle. When building new homes, energy efficiency as well as using sustainable materials and products that are environmentally friendly such as low VOC products is becoming a must. However there are also many families trying to reduce their carbon footprint. This means there is more interest in smaller homes.

Ideas for Smaller Homes

In order to come up with comfortable designs for the smaller home there are many traditional spaces being removed from the layout. Additional spaces such as formal dining rooms might be replaced with eat-in kitchens or vice versa. Additional living space such as a rec room or family room is giving way to a single formal living room. The luxurious bathroom is becoming smaller with a focus on eco-friendly fixtures and low flow shower heads. The idea is to downsize wasted space and condense the home to provide the space required to be comfortable without the extravagance of too much space.

Better Value

One of the benefits of downsizing the house you design with home builders in Florida Keys FL is that it will allow you to build a home with better value. You will not only be enjoying the benefits of living a more eco-conscious life, but also lessen the financial burdens associated with building and maintaining a larger home. Your costs will be reduced both during the building process as well as your energy bills when you move in. Even your costs to furnish the home will be greatly reduced.

Cosier Family Living

In order to take advantage of every inch of space in a smaller home there has to be a more creative approach to the design. Consideration in the modern, downsized home offers interesting features that allow for multiple functions. Many families are looking at options such as “drop zones” where you can have a dedicated space for mail drop off, electrical outlets for recharging phones and a space to drop off school bags. Eat in kitchens are designed for entertaining to reduce the need for formal dining rooms. Smaller bathrooms still allow for luxuries without the need for massive showers or water wasting deep soaker tubs. Function becomes important to design to allow for everything to work for the eco-conscious family.

Island Marine Contractors & Thaler Construction, Inc. are the home builders Florida Keys FL families can trust for quality homes.

When it comes to turmeric health benefits and recommended daily amount of intakes, there are several uncertainties. Here you can learn about the possible benefits, side effects and uncertainties about a recommended dosage.

The turmeric spice is one of the plants that were used in Ayurvedic medicine, the traditional practice in India that is still present to this day. Scientific evaluation has shown that the ‘active’ components of the spices are the curcuminoids, most notably curcumin.

Curcuminoids are responsible for the yellowish orange color of the root. Researchers have learned that the compounds responsible for the various colors of plant foods act as antioxidants in the human body. Some of them have other activity, as well.

That brings us to the turmeric health benefits and recommended daily amount. Laboratory testing has concluded that curcumin has chelating, antioxidant, anti-tumor, anti-arthritic, anti-amyloid, anti-ischemic, anti-coagulant, anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic and anti-cancer activity. It all sounds good, but there’s a problem.

As a medicine, it was traditionally used to for stomach ailments, such as ulcers, heartburn, irritable and inflammatory bowel. It was also believed to ‘strengthen’ the liver, which has been supported by some modern studies. All of the other things that are currently being investigated require that curcumin gets to the bloodstream, but it is quickly degraded by stomach acid. Researchers have concluded that high doses, as much as 10 grams or 10,000 mg do not significantly increase the amount of curcumin in the bloodstream.

Researchers refer to this as low bio-availability and it is one of the reasons that the turmeric health benefits and recommended daily amount of intake are uncertain. You might think that a higher dose would be better, but high doses are accompanied by unwanted side effects, including nausea and stomach upset. There are other unwanted side effects that I’ll get to in a moment, but first, let’s look at the answer to bioavailability.

The actual answer is to take a moderate dose, 50-100mg, add an enteric coating to protect it from stomach acid and include other plant compounds that increase its bioavailability. An enteric coating reduces the risk of stomach upset, as well.

Taking any anti-coagulant is accompanied by risk, particularly if the dosage is too high. For example, daily aspirin intake is often recommended for people that have had heart attacks, because of the anti-coagulant effect, but the recommended dose for an adult is about what you would find in baby aspirin.

That’s one reason that there are questions about the turmeric health benefits and recommended daily amount. Anti-coagulants prevent the blood from clotting when there is an injury. Another risk has to do with the chelating activity. Chelating agents help the body rid itself of toxic heavy metals, but can also interfere with iron metabolism, which could cause anemia, in susceptible individuals.

There is no doubt that there are turmeric health benefits and recommended daily amount of intake that does not exceed 50-100mg is safe. Anything higher is risky. The best supplements contain this amount, along with a variety of other plant extracts, as well as basic vitamins and minerals.
