Bare Skin Care - Even though carrots contain a type of vitamin A called retinol, which has clear skin benefits if the level is very high, carrot creams are worthless. Another bust: apple extract, which often comes with claims of “apple stem cells” that are supposed to make skin appear more youthful. These apple cells do not live inside products nor do they offer any benefits to skin. Why not just use Retinoic Acid that is better than anything here. Bare Skin Rejuvenation Serum and Bare Skin Night Cream both contain high quantities of retinol.
Halt High Blood Pressure
Vanderbilt University School of Medicine (Tennessee, USA)
researchers report that an increased intake in minerals such as
potassium, magnesium and calcium by dietary means may reduce the risk of
high blood pressure and decrease blood pressure in people with
hypertension. A high intake of these minerals in the diet may also
reduce the risk of coronary heart disease and stroke. According to the
study, if Americans were able to increase their potassium intake, the
number of adults with known hypertension with blood pressure levels
higher than 140/90 mm Hg might decrease by more than 10% and increase
life expectancy. Similar studies show that diets high in magnesium (at
least 500 to 1,000 mg/d) and calcium (more than 800 mg/d) may also be
associated with both a decrease in blood pressure and risk of developing
hypertension.
To boost your dietary intake of potassium, magnesium, and calcium, try these foods:
• Vegetables: broccoli, bok choy, spinach, beet greens, turnip greens,
okra, artichoke, potatoes, carrot juice, and sweet potatoes
• Legumes: black beans, garbanzo beans, kidney beans, great northern beans, lentils, navy beans and soybeans
• Dairy: cheddar cheese, Parmesan cheese, ricotta cheese, cottage cheese, sour cream, and yogurt
