Busting the Zit Myth

Tuesday, March 2, 2010 posted by admin 8:15 am

Chili’s bad. Chocolate’s even worse. Don’t go near them if you want too keep your face zit-free. You have acne? Ugh! Wash that dirty face of yours more often, why don’t you? These are part of the many myths surrounding the embarrassing, annoying, and frustrating problem of acne. But are they true?
By now you probably know already that acne happens because of blockage in the opening of skin pores and oil glands. Pores can get blocked by anything, from dirt, bacteria, to cosmetics and too much oil. But do you know that :

When you have acne, it doesn’t mean that you are dirty or don’t take good care of your face. Acne is such a problem when you are in your teen is because … yes, you’re right. Hormones!
The stuff that makes guys grow tall and deep-voiced and puts the curves on girls is also responsible for zits. So, no matter how often you wash your face, as long as your hormones are still happily on a rampage, you’re still in danger of erupting in zits. In fact, washing your face too often will only irritate your skin. Bits of your skin get washed up, leaving your skin exposed to bacteria, and this can only mean bad news! Readmore…

Slimming Pills

The way the commercials tell us, losing weight can be as easy as popping a magic pill or brewing a powerful tea. No need to stop eating those mega yummy food, no need to get sweaty and achy working out; the slimming pills and teas and food supplements will get rid of the annoying extra fat quick as lightning. Do they really help in our battle against the bulge? Are they safe? Would you believe that some slimming products actually kill ?
There are several kinds of slimming products, each with its own way of doing the job. Here’s a brief description:

The Orlistat Pills
These pills, marketed under brands such as Xenical, work by making the fat in the food we eat impossible to absorb. That way, the fat will not enter our bloodstream. The problem is that our food contains much more than simply fat. There are also carbohydrates and proteins which still contribute a lot to the calories in our food. So unless you consume low-calories foods, and these usually are low in fat anyway, taking orlistat alone won’t really help much. Plus, when you are still growing, you need all kinds of nutrition, and yes, that includes fat, which is an important component for hormones. Moreover, if you use the drug over a long period of time, you will also lose the vitamins A,D,E and K, which are absorbed along with the fat, and this can lead to more serious problems. Readmore…

There is nothing wrong with the way Danny looks. He is good looking, with an awesome smile and gorgeous hair. But why is it nobody wants to be his friend, let alone go with him on a date? As Amanda, one of his ex-es confides, ‘It’s his breath. He has dragon breath.’ Halitosis, or dragon breath, is another word for bad breath. Although it’s not a life threatening condition, it does put a damper on people’s social life. believe it or not, there are people who seriously consider committing suicide because their smelly breath is isolating them from the world.
