Beside funny and unique, kangaroo is useful for patients with skin cancer. Kangaroos State scientists from Australia said that the animal has potential to prevent DNA damage associated with many cases of skin cancer in humans.

The researchers at Melbourne University are investigating whether the DNA repair enzyme found in animals can provide an example for the prevention of this DNA damage.

"Several other research teams have proposed 'dream cream' contains a DNA repair enzyme that you can apply on the skin after a day under the sun," said Linda Feketeova, a scientist. "We are currently examining whether this is feasible to be produced by examining the chemical content behind a DNA repair system."

Feketeova and his partner, Uta Wille, in collaboration with scientists at the University of Innsbruck in Austria, are investigating whether human DNA is damaged by the sun can be improved by using the example of a kangaroo. By using Spectrometer instrument, they will simulate the impact caused by kangaroos enzyme in the DNA that would develop a skin cancer.

"We were very surprised that the DNA repair process also resulted in a number of chemical byproducts, which have never been seen before," said Wille.
"Our plan is to learn all these products in order to understand whether the DNA repair enzymes can be harmonized into a safe method and effective for the prevention of skin cancer," he said.

The specific repaired enzymes in kangaroos, which also occurs in some bacteria and fish, provide additional protection for their skin which is not owned by

Even though we know about good nutrition, and how to upgrade our diet program, we are not actually putting the advice into practice. But, it may be necessary if we follow the advice. So, let’s eat right for your health by following below advice, such as:
• Good grains
Pass on bread-banning plans. Cutting carbs long-term may raise your risk for colon cancer, scientists at the Rowett Research Institute in Aberdeen, Scotland, say. Dieters who restrict their intake of whole grains and fruit have lower levels of fatty acid, butyrate, which kills cancer cells. Make sure your diets include plenty of whole grains, fruit and vegetable.
• Not so fast
Convenience foods may be anything but. People who make prepackaged dinners spend as much time in the kitchen as those who cook from scratch, researchers at the University of California at Los Angeles say.
Ready-made meals also tend to be less nutritious than those made fresh.
• Dairy defense
Drinking two cups of milk a day may lower your risk for heart disease or stroke by 15 percent, notes a study in the Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health. Pour skin to save saturated fat.
• Cheaters win
Nearly all dieters have cravings, but they do not always have to ignore them to reach their goal weight. Women who lost the most pounds sometimes splurged on treats, a study in the International Journal of Obesity reports. However, do not consider this news a ticket to overindulge, women who gave in more frequently lost less. Keep treats under control with a food diary.
• Fabulous folate
Munching on folate-rich foods may cut the risk for pancreatic cancer by about 60 percent in normal-weight women, a study in Cancer Research reveals. Not so for those taking folate supplements, which actually raised their risk. Skip the pill; go for raw greens such as spinach.
• Meal math
The more you’re served, the more you eat. When researchers at Penn State University in University Park gave normal-sized meals for 11 days, then supersized them by 50 percent, dinner ate 423 more calories per day. If your eating has started to get off track, try this trick to curb calories: Eat two bites of veggies for every one of a main course and you’ll feel full.

Learning to deal with diabetes is never easy. It is bad enough we have to live in a greed-based world filled with confusion, violence, media junk, and so on. Still, those with diabetes can live healthy providing they adhere to diet, medications and exercise. Diabetes is a serious condition. The disease is the mother of all disease in the world and it is a killer.

What is diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease that you can get if you do not eat right or take care of your body. Genetics play a part in diabetes as well. In fact, hereditary is a hard cause of the problem. The disease can cause blindness. The disease can lead to amputation of legs, or feet. Diabetes is a disease that when your body does not produce enough insulin to break down sugar in the bloodstream. Diabetes includes two types, yet various levels are considered. Diabetes includes Diabetes Insipidus and Mellitus.

The first diabetes is where your body is incapable of producing enough insulin to do what its supposed to do. This type of diabetes is treatable. You will need medications, exercise and strict diet to maintain your health. Diabetes Mellitus has five types. Each type results from insulin interruptions whereas the system is disrupted. The disruption causes chaos within the body’s ability to function. The body cannot act naturally and it takes insulin shots to treat this condition depending on the type.

How would I know that I have this disease called diabetes?
If you go to your doctors on a regular basis, your doctor will monitor your health. If you have family history of diabetes, let your doctor know so he/she can conduct random testing. A glucose test is necessary to find diabetes. Blood lab tests are useful also to spot diabetes.

What you should watch for?
Drinking but not filling your thirst quench. If you feel fatigue often and don’t know, then you should be tested. Diabetes, depending on the type makes a person feels weak, endure pain, lose weight, gain weight, etc. The disease is so confusing to the bodily functions that it doesn’t know the direction to head.

What can I do to help me not to get this disease?
No one has control over disease but you. If you adhere to regular checkups, the doctor can spot the disease at an early stage, which the disease then can be managed. You need to eat right and do excises daily to help maintain your weight, since diabetes takes delight in feeding the disease to the point of death.

What happens to those with diabetes?
Unfortunately, the disease is not partial. The disease targets young and old alike. Once the disease develops it puts the person at risk of blindness.


Some people lose their legs or other limbs resulting from diabetes. Most people with diabetes are at risk of kidney failure. If you already have diabetes then listen to your doctor and follow all instructions. One of the top recommendations to diabetes patients is to consume much fluids. Your body is losing fluids as diabetes drains your bodily organs of its natural elements. You will also need to avoid saturated fat foods and basic sugars. In addition, your doctor will need to test you regularly to control your illness.

You want to take care when diabetes is present since it can lead to meningitis, headaches, tachycardia, dehydration, muscle weakness, pain, and so on. In addition, you may endure blurred vision, sexual dysfunctions, slow healing, and so on. Again, diabetes is a killer; so take care of your health.

I know that if you are a smoker it can be hard to quite. However, if you want to stop you will. You will acquire the willpower to take control. Smoking is not good for anyone. Second hand, smoke has proven to be worse than smoking. For those around you, when you smoke you are hurting them too. Many people smoke for years, which make it difficult to quite. Nevertheless, you have help and hope, especially if you want to quite bad enough.

Avoiding unhealthy living:
Why do people start smoking? Some people start smoking because they think it is something cool and their friends are impressed. They believe it makes them look mature. Unfortunately, many people start smoking early in life. Many people unfortunately end up with bronchitis, breathing problems, cancer, lung disease and so on. As teenagers, we thought it was the cool thing to do, since all of our friends were doing it. We may have picked up the habit watching parents or grandparents smoke.

How to stop smoking:
When you want to stop smoking, there is help. You just have to want to stop. You have go to want to stop before anyone or anybody can help you. You can go to your family doctor and he/she will give you something to help you to stop. On the other hand, maybe you want to do it on your own. Everyone has there own idea for trying to quite smoking. Some think hard candy will help, while others think that chewing gum will help, then some think chewing on something will help. You have to figure out what you want to try to go from there. We all have different idea. Prayer is the ultimate answer. When you pray to improve your life, God will answer your prayers.

How smoking affects you:
No one knows what would happen to you if you don’t quite until the time comes for you to know. You can get cancer in your mouth, in your lungs, you could have a hard time breathing, fast heartbeat, you may have problems walking across the room. Many things could happen to you if you do not quite. Ironically, however, some people smoke for years and nothing happens to them. Yet, throughout the years these people feel sluggish, tired, and often get colds more frequently.

The benefits of stopping smoking:
Just think if you quite smoking you won’t have to worry about the smell in your house, in your car or on your clothes. You won’t have those nasty ash trays to empty or wash out. You won’t have to smell nothing but the air you breathe. If you quite now you will start to get back your self. You will be able to walk across the floor or be able to breathe without using oxygen to help you there are a lot of reason to quite I wish you the best.

Some of the reasons people do not quite smoking are because they believe they will gain weight.


Contrary to your notions, smoking will make you gain weight as you start to age. To improve personal life you must take measures to protect your overall health, which includes maintaining weight, stop smoking and so on. The steps you take will lead you to a healthier future and a successful conclusion.

If you are finding it difficult to beat the habit, we encourage you to learn about the drugs inside cigarettes. If it isn’t enough to scare you into stopping now, then consider your future, living on life-support or oxygen tanks.

Stop smoking now means you could live a happy and healthier life. As you already know smoking is bad for everyone, not just the ones that smoke but the ones that breath in the second hand smoke. Second hand, smoke is harder on you then smoking. Forty-five hundred Americans start smoking every year. Why would they want to do this to them self I can’t truly answer you. Because once you get started, you cannot stop. You are hooked and that is not very good for you. Most people start at an early age in life, they are curious or they want to be cool. The biggest problem is most people lack education that helps them to see how smoking causes them to age faster.
 
The problems smoking can cause:
Smoking can cause many problems when it comes to your health not to think about the expense. Smoking can cause cancer, heart disease, and strokes, increase cholesterol and so on. Your heart is affected, since smoking causes your blood vessels to build up with cholesterol and fat. The results leads to harden of the arteries. Harden arteries mean that the blood flow will not pump fast enough to support the heart’s natural requirements. This starts blood clotting, broken blood vessels etc. It can also cause angina which will make you think that your having a heart attack but your aren’t its just not getting enough blood to the heart to make it pump right. Then it can cause you to have a heart attack, since smoking is a blockage so that there is no blood going to the heart.

Smoking can cause strokes or bronchiolitis. This disease is contagious, which most people do not realize it. The viral infection affects the airway, which affects breathing. The common cause of this contagious disease is smoking or second hand smoke. Smoking promotes bad breath, stained teeth, smelly furniture and clothes. You also get common colds and flu more often. You will start to cough and then you won’t be able to breath they even may put you on oxygen. In addition, smoking is so expensive now days. It is not worth it you will end up regretting it in end. On top of this, you get addicted to the nicotine once you are hooked your hooked.

Bronchiolitis is a common viral infection, which affects the respiratory syncytial. The condition causes inflammation. Once the inflammation accumulates the airway is blocked, since the nicotine consumptions and infections causes the airway to narrow, which the flow of air is obstructed.
 
Why is nicotine addictive?
You get addicted to the nicotine because of all the chemical put into the tobacco. It’s not so much as the nicotine that makes you sick it’s the chemicals that they put in the tobacco, that cause you to get the disease like lung cancer and heart disease. In addition, what ever you get from smoking. Nicotine or cigarettes have several chemicals incorporated into it to causes addictions, and finally death.
 
How can I quite smoking?
Once you are hooked, it is going to be hard to quite. You have to decide that you’re going to quite regardless of what it causes, such as weight gain or being on edge.

You have to pull up the will power to do this and stick to it. You can say I will have one now and no more, yet it don’t work that way. You have to find the way that best fits your needs and build the will power. You may want to consult with your doctor who can offer you helpful suggestions on stop smoking.

Growing older and learning from your mistakes is a clear sign that our brain is improving. The brain will improve as we learn. In return, it helps us to live a better life. We live longer and learn new skills that help us to develop a healthier way of living.

Our brain has learned a lot from our younger days. All those skills you accomplished made the brain stay healthy. Remember practice makes perfect and as we grow older the more practice we get. The more we learn the quality of talking grows and improves even more. We need to learn how to manage stress too because stress will damage the circuit in your brain.

As you grow you, become wiser. The challenges and opportunities along with making decision were all improving the brain. Be positive on life and ready for new challenges.

The brain works by increasing knowledge and it builds the connecting elements in the bran that make us function well. You’re never too old to learn something new.

As you grow older, keep your connection with your family and friends. The more we stay in contact with our family and friends we are keeping our mental sharpness working. You can learn from them and it will help to maintain your mental sharpness each day that goes by.

Your diet is very important to keep the brain healthy, as we grow older. Eat as many colorful fruits and leafy vegetables as you can. Vegetables are known to help your brain to perform and become better. If vegetables can help prevent cancer, it has to be good for the brain as well.

Fruits and vegetable are full of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals along with being low in fat and calories. Antioxidants have proven to benefit us, since it contains Vitamins known to reduce dying or damaged cells. Eat those blueberries the color is known to improve short-term memory.

Very few doctors disapprove of taking multivitamins and herb supplements. As we get older, our diets change by eating less just is careful and make sure that your dosage isn’t going to react to your medications. Vitamins are good to take to replace what you don’t get in your diet but first consult with you physician to make sure your taking what you need.

Stress busters:
Stress can take over our lives making it harmful to your bodies and brain as well. There isn’t any way a person can relieve all stress but we can decide what can be eliminated and concentrate on what you can do to relieve the rest by bring pleasure to yourself. It is very important that you don’t let stress take over your life. Stress causes depression easier as we grow older.


The brain releases stress hormones to help use manage some stress but if to many hormones are released it can damage the nerve cells. Depression can set in if the hormones are released too much and fast.

Relieve those stressful elements that cause you misery:
Relieving stress isn’t easy for anyone. You have to forget about the things you have no control over and fix the ones you do. Try taking a walk or do somekind of activity to relax that brain not stress it. Putting some fun into your life and make yourself happy again.

Sometimes it takes awhile to make changes in your life, as we grow older to fit your health and needs. Changes are hard to do and it sometimes becomes a challenge but in the end, it will relieve stress and improve the brain by giving it a new learning experience.

U.S. researchers make sure they have strong evidence to indicate that caffeine is harmful to pregnancy. The pregnant women who consume large amounts of caffeine each day in the early months of pregnancy are at risk of miscarriage.

For secure, the future moms should avoid beverages containing caffeine during the first five months of pregnancy, the researchers revealed in research reports published in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology.

Actually, this issue has been studied previously, revealed that pregnant women who ate three cups of coffee or 300 mg of caffeine per day had the increasing risk of miscarriage than pregnant women who avoided caffeine.

However, many people criticized that the findings are less accurate, because many women with healthy pregnancies who avoid coffee or caffeine because of morning sickness in the morning.

To find out the actual facts, researchers, assisted by a health care organization, Kaiser Permanente, studied more than 1,000 pregnant mothers. All of these subjects kept continuing their habit of consuming coffee or other caffeinated beverages, in the same portion as they used to drink before pregnancy.

The result is very clear. The researchers found the risk of miscarriage is increased with the increasing number of daily caffeine consumption, whether from coffee, tea, hot chocolate, and other caffeinated drinks, or a combination of all.

Mothers who consumed 200 mg caffeine or more per day had twice the risk of miscarriage greater than those who avoid it at all.

For the purposes of this research, 200 mg of caffeine is equivalent to two of 7.5 oz sized cups of coffee or five of sized 12 oz cans of caffeinated soda per day.

"The future mother should avoid caffeine at least three or four months of their pregnancy", says De-Kun Li, epidemiologist and the Kaiser Permanente Division of Research in Oakland, California.

"If they have to consume caffeine, limit the consumption, at least one cup per day, or switch to decaf."

Li noted that this study does not tell how much caffeine is safe for future mothers. So, he supported pregnant women to take the safety way, considering this is one of the numerous causal factors of miscarriage.

The experts believe that caffeine can interfere with the fetus because the substance can penetrate the placenta, but it can not be digested easily by the system of metabolism in embryo.

Caffeine can also make blood vessels constrict, which eventually causes the blood flow to the placenta decreased.

1.063 of pregnant women were involved in the study that took place between October 1996 to October 1998. Guess it's time to kiss goodbye your coffee cup, at least for a while!

Here are the most popular diet strategies; try the ones that fit your life and get ready to watch the pounds drop off.

1. Skip all soda
At roughly 225 calories a pop, a 20-ounce bottle packs nearly the same calories as a chocolate bar but it is far less satisfying. Diet soda is no body bargain, either. For every can you sip daily, your risk of becoming overweight rises by 37 percent. Other studies hint at why: Regular use of artificial sweetener may interfere with the body’s ability to estimate calories you’ve ingested, so you eat beyond what you need.

2. Eat Breakfast, even if you’re not hungry
Most people who slim down manage to find time to fuel up every morning. Research indicates that women who eat breakfast are less likely to overeat at late meals.
3. Use smaller plates and glasses
Diners given smaller dishes serve themselves smaller portions. Eat about 92 percent of what we serve ourselves, regardless of the size of the dish. The next time you order the nachos supreme, put a small portion on your bread plate and try to only eat that. Try packing leftovers before you eat. To avoid snacking and seconds at home, keep food out of your field of vision.
4. Banish trigger foods from your home
Study shows that out of sight is out of mouth, but there’s no need to swear off goodies forever. Depriving yourself of favorite foods could set you up for a pig-out. Indulge during one meal a week or on special occasions, or share a splurge with someone. And if you keep treats in the house, opt for those that come in single-serve portion. Stash pops instead of a cartoon of ice cream, and then have only one.
5. Rate your hunger before deciding to eat
Use a scale of 1 (so hungry you’d eat sand) to 10 (so full you can barely breathe). Dig in at 3, eat slowly, and stop at 7, and you’ll never overeat again. Preventing extreme hunge is as critical to weight loss as walking away from the table before you’re too full. Regularly checking your need for food will help you control how much you end up eating.
6. Dine out less often
We have to try this strategy as we will lose weight and enjoy more nutrient-dense meals without all of the fattening extras. Don’t feel pressured to prepare elaborate dishes; the simpler your meal is to make, the less likely you are to phone your local Chinese place for “help”.
7. Start your meal with soup, salad or fruit
These foods are loaded with water and fiber, which make you feel full. Eating 3 cups of green salad with fat-free dressing cut the number of calories people consumed at a meal by 12 percent, a study from Penn State University at University Park found.
8. Eat your meals with no distractions
Focusing on only your food (no TV, no radio, no phone calls, no nothing) helps you detect internal fullness cues, such as a tightening of the stomach. Eat slowly, concentrate on your food’s taste and texture and check in with yourself after every few bites to see if you are still hungry. By changing the way you eat, you may change how much you eat-and suddenly find your weight loss goal within reach.

Here are the best ways to stop your stressing:

1. Keep a journal

Jot down your worry, then in a few days or weeks, write down the outcome. What you’ll find: Things usually turn out better than you think they will

2. Challenge the likelihood of your worry

If your husband is late coming home and you imagine has been hit by bus, think about emotion behind your worry. (You are anxious because you love him and want to keep him around). Once you have identified the emotion at the heart of your worry and allowed yourself to experience it, see if it’s a reasonable worry (hint: probably not). Then let it pass rather than allowing anxiety to ruin your quiet night at home.

3. Peel an orange

The next time a thought threatens to snowball into a stressfest, grab an orange or grapefruit. Press your nail into your skin, peel it back and smell the citrus scent, focusing on every sensation. “Rather than worry about the future, you can bring yourself into the moment”, Leahy says

4. Get nostalgic

Visualize your key life events of the past 10 years. You probably can’t recall the worries linked with these experiences, or if you can, you may see the most never happened (e.g. you didn’t trip and fall at your wedding). Tell yourself that current worries will fade from memory, too.

Women who are trying to have baby may need to pay attention to this: Avoid eating too much soy.

According to a study involving humans, a content that is found in soybeans called genistein was able to damage the health of the sperm when they were swimming toward the egg cell (ovum). Even in small doses, if the content is found in the female urinary tract, it is enough to destroy the sperm when it swims into archegonium..
Furthermore, the researchers explained that avoiding soy consumption during woman’s fertile days can help conception period.

Genistein can be found in all products containing soy, for example:
• soy milk
• Different types of vegetarian food
• Pizza

Test Running
The researchers conducted tests on human sperm sample that is placed on a laboratory dish by providing genistein on the sample to be observed.

It was found that chemical content of these soybeans can cause a premature reaction in sperms, forcing the sperms to reach the peak before they are able to fertilize the egg cell. While in reality, this will not happen until the sperms had really been in a woman's body for several hours and had approached the end of their journey toward the egg cell.

Without the presence of genistein around woman’s fallopian tube, the sperm will reach its peak at the time that should be, much closer to the egg cell.

Furthermore, there is a surprising thing about the harmful effects of soy on human health, i.e it is required fewer dose of genistein that can lead to infertility problems in women compared with the dose required to cause the same effect in mice.

Based on these findings, a spokesman of vegetarian societies in the United States says that anyone who is pregnant, should avoid soya products for few days in a month.

Fermented or non-fermented
When reviewing the effects of soy consumption in the body, it is also important to consider the difference between the fermentation products or non-fermentation of soy:

Fermentation products of soy:
• Miso (a traditional Japanese seasoning produced by fermenting rice, barley and/or
soybeans, with salt and the fungus kōjikin (麹菌?), the most typical miso being
made with soy.)
• Ketchup
• Tempe (is well known as a traditional Indonesian food with a high nutritional
value)

Non-fermented product of soybeans:
• Tofu
• soy milk
• soy Hotdog and vegetarian products made from soy or textured vegetable protein
(TVP)
• soy yogurt and soy ice cream
• soy protein

The condition and the symptoms of male menopause are comparable to the ones women experience and can sometimes be as worse. However male menopause does not affect all men, at least not with the same inclusion. Only some of the men between the age of forty and fifty can experience the condition and most of the symptoms of male menopause.

All the changes that occur in every man during the male menopausal period can affect every aspect of their lives. Male menopause is recognized as a physical condition and manifests in personal, psychological, social and spiritual dimensions.

Men also experience difficulties in hormonal fluctuations that affect their sexuality, mood, and personality like women. It is only one of the manifestations of the aging process of a man, where changes comes and make the person better out of it.

All men going through male menopausal can experience hormonal changes that greatly affect their lives. The levels of hormones will lower at their mid-life and may have changes which are usually associated with male menopausal. It is important to mark that every man has a unique personality and their individual levels of hormonal loss may vary widely. They have different outlook in life and strategies of living with satisfaction.

If the level of hormones lowers, it can be the cause to the decrease in sex drive and the general well being of their health. The occurrence of these things will also lead to the increase of depression and weight gain and absolutely will change the day to day living as compared to their lives before the onset of male menopause.

During the menopausal period, some men can experience problems with regards to impotence. Wherein it is the constant inability to achieve and maintain an erection that is enough to have a satisfactory sexual performance. And because of impotency, men are having lowered sexual desires.

How can a man recognize that he is going through that certain stage in life, the menopausal period? There are some symptoms to be aware of. Some are physical, some are psychological, and some are sexual. The following are the symptoms that a male is going through a male menopausal period.

Physical symptoms of male menopause include:

• Recovery from injuries and illness takes longer
• Less endurance for physical activity
• Gaining weight
• Difficulty reading small print
• Loss or thinning of hair
• Sleep disturbances
• Low libido
• Lack of energy


Psychological symptoms of male menopause include:

• Irritability
• Hesitancy or difficulty in making decisions
• Worry and fear for life
• Depression
• Having low self-esteem, self-confidence and joy
• Loss of purpose and direction in life
• Feeling alone, unattractive, and unloved
• Lack of memory and complexity in concentrating
• Mood swings

Sexual symptoms of male menopause include:

• Decreased sex drive
• Fear of sexual impotency
• More relationship problems and fights occurs with regards to sex, love, and intimacy
• Incapacity to erect during intimacy
• Increased of attraction to a much younger opposite sex

All the symptoms that a male can experience during the male menopausal period can be treated. Although men have been suffering from either physical, emotional or sexual symptoms of male menopause, you need to control it not through attempting self-diagnosis but by talking to a doctor, this will lead to being better informed and getting the proper treatment to alleviate the symptoms of the condition.

Grape has many health benefits due to chemical contained in it, one of whom is flavonoids. Flavonoid phytochemical compounds that provide color purple in grapes. Flavonoids can prevent LDL oxidation 20 times more powerful than vitamin E, which is known as a natural antioxidant.

World Health Organization classifies the types of wine for lowering unhealthy cholesterol, because it has high fiber in water (soluble fiber), just like as carrots, oranges, and apples.

Grape is really good for those who have problem in sleeping. A study in Italy showed that the Grape is melatonin, a hormone that helps to regulate the human biological time. Melatonin hormone will usually appear at night. Melatonin is also very effective to deal with hypertension. A study conducted by Frank Scheer from Harvard Medical School proved that the man who had intake of melatonin for three weeks will experience a decrease in systolic blood pressure significantly.

Grape is proven to help women in preventing the pain of breast cancer treatment. The doctors at the Institute of Cancer Research show that the antioxidants contained in grapes may protect against radiation fibrosis, the hardening of breast tissue around it due to radiotherapy effect which is extremely painful.

Shiuan Chen, PhD, from the Beckman Research Institute of the City of Hope, reported that grape juice successfully suppress the growth of cancer cells by preventing the synthesis of the hormone estrogen that plays a major role in the development of breast cancer.

According to research Agricultural Research Service, U.S. Department of Agriculture, ptrestilbene content in grapes showed a strong inhibitory power against breast cancer cells. The French researcher also found that in red wine, there is Acutimissin A that can inhibit enzymes causing cancer cells.

In addition to health, grape is believed to maintain the softness or smoothen the skin. Vitamin C and antioxidants can keep skin healthy, because it can fend off free radicals such as pollution and sunlight.

Vitamin C is known as the main body compounds required in many important processes, ranging from the producing of collagen (fibrous protein that forms connective tissue in bones), fat transport, electron transport from various enzymatic reactions, hyper healthy gums, regulating cholesterol levels, and trigger immunity .

In addition, vitamin C is required for wound healing and improve brain function in order to work optimally.

Based on definition from Wikipedia, wrinkle is defined as a fold, ridge or crease in the skin. Skin wrinkles typically appear as a result of aging processes such as glycation or, temporarily, as the result of prolonged (more than a few minutes) immersion in water. Wrinkling in the skin is caused by habitual facial expressions, aging, sun damage, smoking, poor hydration, and various other factors.^[1] With prolonged water exposure, the outer layer of skin starts to absorb water. The skin doesn't expand evenly, causing it to wrinkle. Depletion of water in the body, as occurs with dehydration, can also cause this puckering of the skin.^[2] Cortisol causes degradation of skin collagen.^[3]

Here are tips from Dr. Dewi Inong Irana, SpKK from Permata Cibubur Hospital, to prevent premature wrinkles:
1. Using night cream routinely. When you want to go out of the house, use the sun block (sun

block) SPF 15 to prevent the effects of exposure to ultraviolet light, UVA and UVB that

produced the sun. Applying sunscreen properly in the face and neck.
2. Eating a balanced diet. Nutrition. balance is important, that is sufficient intake of

carbohydrates, proteins, vegetables and fruits.
3. Healthy lifestyle by eliminating the physical and emotional stress, and pollution

Stress can be reduced by minimizing bad habits. Try paying your bills on time if possible. If you cannot pay your bills on time due to insufficient funds, pay enough to avoid shut-off notices. You may want to setup a budget so that you spend wisely. Help is only a phone call away as well. Pick up your phone book, talk to people in your area, etc, since you just may find money available to help those with low-income pay bills.
