2 Keep the intake of sugars and fats to a minimum. The fats to be avoided are the saturated fats and the trans-fatty acids.

3 Too much carbohydrates build weight. Hence, the intake of rice and potatoes must be reduced. Wheat, barley and maize are ideal substitutes for rice in people who has weight problems.

4 You must have at least one bitter vegetable per day. This helps in the proper metabolism of fats and do not allow them to accumulate in the body.

5 Never eat to full capacity.

6 Consume a lot of fluids in the day. This helps to eliminate the undigested foods effectively.

7 Exercise is extremely important. It is necessary to indulge in mild physical activity after each meal even if you cannot make time to go to a gym.

Remedy # 2

Have a totally salt-free diet once a week. This helps reduce weight. Also skip a meal once in a month.

Remedy # 3

Prepare chutney of mint leaves. This must be taken with every single meal. It helps in the proper breaking down of the fats. Also begin your day with a cup of mint tea.

Remedy # 4

Vitamin C is very good for people who are looking to reduce their weight. Since amalaki (Emblica officinalis, Indian Gooseberry) is the best source of vitamin C in the world, it is good to eat two three fruits of the amalaki each day. Also have a glass of any one citrus fruit – orange, lemon, etc. – each day. Green leafy vegetables also have good vitamin C content. They can be consumed raw in the form of salads.

Remedy # 5

Honey is very good for mobilizing the fats in the body. Take a spoonful of honey half an hour after every meal. A good remedy is to mix a teaspoonful of honey and lemon juice and have it twice a day. Alternatively, you can take a bowl of warm water, put a teaspoonful each of honey and lemon juice and drink it in the morning on an empty stomach. This is a very good remedy to dissolve the excess fats. ]]> Body Care sanan http://forums.ultimate-cosmetics.com/body-care/7150-weight-loss-through-simple-home-remedies.html Mon, 26 Oct 2009 03:22:46 GMT My brother has become so much fat in last six months.

Vitiligo is more commonly known as leucoderma, which simply means white (leuco) skin (derma), i.e. a skin disorder where it loses its normal coloration. It is also medically known as achromia, which means loss of color.

Basically, Vitiligo can hardly be called as a disease but a skin- disorder that has more social than medical significance, especially amongst the dark skin people. Due to retarded melanin formation, there is loss of pigmentation.

The Vitiligo sufferers are observed all over the world, including the white skin communities. However, epidemiologically most cases are recorded in India (8.8%) and Mexico. Males and females are affected equally, inclusive of children age group. It may begin at any age. Childhood vitiligo is not uncommon.

Causes:

The exact cause for the pigmentary disorder remains unknown. However, there are theories suggesting autoimmune link, hormonal connection, genetic tendencies, etc. The familial incidence is almost 20 to 30%. Often observed in the family members. If the parents have Vitiligo, there are more chances of one developing the same. However, it is not a rule. At the same time, numerous cases of vitiligo do not have a relevant family history of Vitiligo.

The precipitating factors have been identified as due to pressure of tight clothes (such as on the waist) or certain occupational hazards such as wearing certain rubber hand gloves. Long term intake of certain drugs is found to produce the pigmentary disorder. In many cases, especially in children, we often have no clue why one develops vitiligo.

Like many disease conditions, the exact causation yet remains a mystery!

Features:

The typical appearance of Vitiligo is a milky while depigmented spot or spots. It may vary from a single white spot to multiple spots. The shape too is a variable. In some cases generalized de-pigmentation observed all over the body. It has a tendency to start as a single spot and gradually grow in size and number. It may present with a single or several spots on limbs or abdomen or back and then spreading to other parts of the body. Some cases showing affection of the mucocutaneous junctions such as finger-tips, corners of the mouth, private parts, around eyes. The spread of the disorder is usually slow and progressive. Symmetrical appearance on both the side of the body (say, on the legs, hands, etc.) is common. In rare cases one finds vitiligo spreading all over the body.

Associated Skin Disorders:

At times, you may find Vitiligo associated with one or more of the following conditions:
° Alopecia Areata (Loss of hair)
° Premature graying of the hair
° Lichen Planus
° Psoriasis
° Halo Naevus
° Ichthyosis

Associated Systemic Disorders:

There are several systemic diseases (affecting the entire body system), which are at times associated with Vitiligo:

° Thyroid Disorders (Hypo and Hyperthyroidism)
° SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus)
° Pernicious Anemia
° Addison's Disease
° Collegen Diseases
° Grave's Disease
° Diabetes Mellitus

It may be noted that the sufferers of Vitiligo need not be unduly scared of the above disease conditions, as they shold not be regarded as the complications of Vitiligo in every case.

One is by simply providing a protective coating, allowing the nail to grow strong and healthy. Wearing nail polish everyday does this just as well as nail hardeners that work in this way. The other way, the most common way, is by penetrating the nail and chemically reacting with the proteins in the nail plate, creating more cross-links, and creating a tougher nail.

The most common ingredient of nail hardeners that work chemically is formaldehyde. Although it is toxic at high levels, the law permits low levels of less than .5% to be allowed in nail hardeners with no warning label. Hardeners with up to 3% are allowed, but must have a warning label on the bottle.

Formaldehyde works with the keratin in the nail. Keratin is the protein that makes up the nail plate. Formaldehyde reacts with the keratin and causes the strands, which are already cross linked together, to create more cross links, hardening the nail. Although more cross-links mean a harder nail, too many links cause nails to become dry and brittle. This is why nails become worse when formaldehyde is over used. The nail can even become so brittle that it will lift off from the nail bed completely. Because of this scientists are working to create new ingredients that work like formaldehyde, but do not cause excessive the cross-linking that leaded to brittle nails. A balance between the hardness of many cross-links and the flexibility of the natural nail is the perfect toughness desired in a nail.

Another popular ingredient in nail hardeners is gelatin. For generations women have relied on gelatin as a nail hardener. Some say it works best eaten, some say it works best applied to the nail. Scientists say it does not even help at all, but many hardeners still included it as an ingredient. Even if gelatin does not work at a chemical level like formaldehyde does, it does help protect the nail while it is growing, giving it a change to become healthy, and harden its self.

Many other popular ingredients of nail hardeners are not proven to help either. Wax, vitamin E, and unidentified "trace minerals" are such ingredients.

According to Arizona Beauty, Calcium is another popular ingredient. It is said to help the nail build it's self strong, but there is little proof of it.

The nails own natural protein, keratin, is also a common additive. Although one could say it builds more cross-links, applying it atop the nail does very little.

Some also say adding ingredients that stimulate help to stimulate growth in the nail, and helps it to grown stronger. Such ingredients include garlic extract, eucalyptus extract, and various other herbs.

There are many that say that the best nail hardeners are the nails themselves. Taking care of your nails and yourself is the best way to keep them strong and healthy. Getting a manicure every week, even from yourself, makes sure the edges stay smooth, preventing breaks, chips and splits. Applying lotion everyday helps to keep them moisturized, and dry nails break more easily. Also, taking a vitamin, everyday, and staying hydrated ensures that your body has the things it need to keep it's self, and nails, healthy, tough, and beautiful. ]]> Body Care Link7881 http://forums.ultimate-cosmetics.com/body-care/7007-beauty-tips-how-nail-hardener-products-work-best-ingredients.html Wed, 30 Sep 2009 15:40:56 GMT Lemon is a vitamin C rich citrus fruit that enhances your beauty, by rejuvenating skin from within and thus bringing a glow on your face.

I've taken a slightly less neurotic stance on sunscreen and the two of them have turned glowing, golden colors . My little one has a darker kind of complexion and he has turned a little nut brown. My older one is gold from hair on down. They have never burned (I do sunscreen for prolonged exposure and we wear widebrimmed hats when out and about and we hang out in the shade when possible, so the tanning is just from casual outside life, which we are a lot, though). They look like they are pictures of health and vibrancy and good living- active, strong, outside...

So, what is the deal with sunscreen anyway? All the sun reports are just dire- slather the kids or face extreme health consequences.
