Yes that's right! You can slow down the rate at which you age. Many tend to think that we have a fixed lifespan which cannot be adjusted however, there is a variability to lifespan and it is regulated by Insulin.
In centenarian studies, they have found that there was nothing in common with these people except for the fact that they all had low sugar, low triglycerides and low insulin. The single indicator for lifespan is insulin and the sensitivity to it. If your cells are not sensitive to this hormone, it's levels go up and stay up. Now you have what we call insulin resistance.
Whenever you expose your cells to insulin they become more resistant. The idea here is to control and balance your hormone levels which will keep our cells constantly reacting.
How can we do this?
We first need to take a look at what we are eating when it comes to carbohydrates. Something I learned from Dr Ron Rosedale was that carbohydrates are all the same, there is no difference between complex and simple carbs, they're all the same. Are they fiber or non fiber, this was the key ingredient to look for. Fiber slows down the absorption of sugar and a non fiber doesn't.
If you are going to eat food that has no fiber it is going to turn into sugar. It surges insulin and everytime you do this you become exposed to more of it and then you eventually become resistant to it. Keeping in mind that the aging process is not the only thing you have to worry about, it's all the other chronic factors that come with it like Diabetes, Cancer, Osteoporosis, Heart Disease, PH imbalance(acidity/alkalinity which is the predictor for disease.
So what you want to do is keep the high fiber foods(carbs) into your daily eating regime and dramatically reduce or even better eliminate all other forms. Protein and fat should never be reduced. You can live without carbs but you cannot live without protein and fat.
Here are some high fiber carbs:
Peas, Cauliflower, Dried Beans, Green Beans, Pysilium husk, Ground flax seed
Incorporating these foods and eliminating the ones I mentioned above will balance and keep insulin levels down.
Eliminating or choosing the right foods will save you from disease, keep you living longer, looking younger, keep your skin healthy, improve your energy levels and just about every other negative thing you can think of.

Japan - Generics to Account for 29% Pharma Sales Volume by 2013
|
|
|
According to the report “Japanese Generic Market Forecast to 2013”, the generic drugs market in Japan shows immense potential as Japan is amongst the youngest generic markets in the world both in terms of value and volume. But with a number of factors operating in it, the market is expected to grow robustly in the next five years.
The report states that a number of factors will drive the market in future; this includes the generic-friendly nature of the Japanese government which is desperate to cut its surging healthcare costs, patent expiration of a number of blockbuster drugs, wide scale promotion and awareness campaigns of generics, and increasing investment by both domestic and international manufacturers in Japan.
The Japanese generic drugs market grew at a CAGR of 7.5% during 2003-2008, reaching ¥ 333 Billion (US$ 3.5 Billion). The growth rate is slower than the US and some European markets which till recently had been growing at double-digit rates. This is because despite being a young market, the awareness of generics in Japan is comparatively low and generics are still largely perceived as cheaper, low quality alternatives to patented drugs. The nationwide promotion and awareness campaign regarding the safety and efficacy of generics however is expected to change their perception and usage in future.
Our forecast models suggest that the generic drugs market will grow at a CAGR of nearly 9% from 2008 to 2013 to make up for 8% of the pharmaceutical market in terms of sales value and 29% in terms of the sales volume.
“Japanese Generic Market Forecast to 2013” gives extensive and objective analysis on the generic market in Japan. The report investigates both the past and present trends in the market, but its focus is on the future trends shaping the industry. The report also investigates the performance of various players in Japan’s pharmaceutical and generic markets, and analyzes the competitive landscape of the market.
Based on the various present and future indicators, the future scenario of the market has also been analyzed. The report thus gives valuable information to manufacturers/investors preparing to enter the Japanese generic market.

What is chronic back pain?
Chronic back pain is defined as pain in the back region that lasts from more than three months. It is also the most common ailment among inhabitants of the UK, as some 60-80 percent of residents say that they experience significant chronic back pain.
As chronic back pain can be indicative of extremely serious medical conditions – including cancer, it is best to investigate the cause right away.
Acute or chronic back pain?
Chronic back pain is often attributed to degenerative disorders or traumatic conditions of the spine. Additionally, it is also associated with various ailments, including fibrositis, inflammatory spondyloarthropathy, and metabolic bone conditions.
It can also strike anyone at any age, race or social station; however, the affliction appears to most often strike people between the ages of 45-59.
There are three levels of back pain, namely chronic, sub acute and acute back pain. Acute back pain is when the pain only last for about six weeks, sub acute back pain lasts for about 6-12 weeks and chronic back pain lasts for 12 weeks and beyond.
What causes chronic back pain?
While there is no one underlying cause for chronic back pain, research indicates that there are various risk factors for the development of chronic back pain. Some of these risk factors include cigarette smoking, twisting in awkward positions due to a repetitive job or sport, forwards bending, constant, strenuous physical activity, morbid obesity and exposure to intense vibrations causes by motorized vehicles or industrial machines.
Another cause is chronic nerve root back pain, which occurs in less that 5% of all cases. This type of chronic back pain is generally caused by a slipped disc, which compressed the nerve as it leaves the spinal cord.
More serious chronic back pain
In an even smaller amount of cases, chronic back pain can be caused by severe, in some cases, potentially deadly conditions, like tuberculosis or cancer. An abnormality of the spine or an infection can also be a serious underlying cause of chronic back pain; this is why it is always best to visit a doctor if the pain persists.
Will Painwave X4000 help with chronic back pain?
It surely can! Just what is Painwave X4000? It is a space age, non-invasive drug free pain management technology that utilizes the body's own bioelectromagnetic ecosystem to block pain receptors. By simply moving the unit in a circular motion over the affected area, the Painwave X4000 will eliminate pain and in time possibly eradicate it for good. The Painwave X4000 can also help improve blood circulation as well as stimulate lymphatic movements and cell activity. In the end, the Painwave X4000 is a safe and effective way to get rid of chronic, debilitating pain.

Advancements in Hernia Surgery
|
|
|
An abdominal hernia is an opening through the muscles of the abdomen that allows the intestines to poke through the muscle wall, forming a visible lump under the skin. When further weakness in the muscle wall allows the opening to grow, more of the intestines are able to protrude and may eventually resist being pushed back into the abdomen. This becomes an incarcerated hernia and can lead to a medical emergency if the opening pinches off the blood supply to the protruding organs. Surgical repair is the only cure for a hernia.
Surgery Before the Patch
Before the advent of the mesh patch, hernias were repaired by opening the abdomen where the muscles were separating and suturing them back together.
One disadvantage of this type of invasive surgery is it requires several weeks for recovery. Because the recovery period is reputed to be long and painful, patients sometimes put off having the operation until living with the pain becomes worse than the fear of surgery and its possible complications. And because most surgeries were simply joining together the two sides of already weakened muscle tissues, the hernia would recur in approximately 10% to 20% of cases.
The First Mesh Patches
Because sewing the weakened muscle tissue back together was not a lasting repair in many cases, surgeons devised a mesh patch that they could attach inside the abdomen behind the weakened area. This resulted in a much sturdier and longer-lasting correction of the hernia. The sterile mesh patch was designed to provide a latticework enabling new tissue to grow and strengthen the area. This approach reduced the recurrence rate, but was still performed using open surgery.
Laparoscopic Surgery
With the increasing use of the laparoscope for abdominal procedures, it wasn’t long before doctors devised a way to place a patch behind a hernia using this minimally invasive method. The laparoscope is a narrow tube with a camera, light, and tiny surgical instruments on one end that can be inserted in the abdomen through a small incision. When the abdomen is slightly inflated using CO2 gas, the surgeon can perform surgical procedures by manipulating the instruments while observing his work on a television screen.
The laparoscopic hernia repair procedure combined all the advantages of a patch with the benefits of a minimally invasive surgery including reduced pain and a much shorter recovery period.
The Minimally Invasive Technique
Despite the benefits of laparoscopic surgery, it’s an expensive procedure because of the specialized equipment required. As a result, medical researchers devised a new minimally invasive approach for implanting a hernia patch. In this technique, the surgeon makes a small incision near the site of the hernia. He inserts a rolled-up patch through the incision and spreads it out in place behind the abdominal wall. Then he adds a couple of sutures to hold the patch in place.
This procedure is typically performed as day-surgery with minimal post-operative pain, a recovery period of just a few days, and an extremely low recurrence rate of around 1% or less.
Advancements in Hernia Patches
With the minimally-invasive technique becoming the surgical method of choice, treatment advances began focusing on the nature of the patch itself. Various patents were granted for different compositions, structures and designs of the mesh fabric for hernia repair patches.
In the early 1990’s, one well-known surgeon, Dr. Robert Kugel, came up with the idea of placing an extremely thin plastic ring inside the patch, so it could be folded and inserted though a small incision, and would then unfold itself once released inside the abdomen. Moreover, the semi-rigid ring made it exceptionally easy to maneuver the patch into place, and his innovations in mesh fabric design created a patch that remained in position without sutures.
By 2001, Dr. Kugel had ten patents to his credit for the function, design, and method of placement of the Kugel Mesh Hernia Patch with the memory recoil ring.
Despite the recall of certain Kugel hernia patches that were defective because of a flaw in the manufacturing process, the Kugel patch and method remains among the state-of-the-art techniques in hernia repair surgery.

Healthy Skin Care Things to know
|
|
|
Most will always agree that having healthy skin care is an ideal goal everyone needs to attain. It is likely that you are constantly in search of set of treatments, skin care regimen and lifestyle habits to help you acquire and maintain healthy and good-looking skin.
Modernization on your skin: good or bad?
Rapid industrialization in many advanced and developing countries may have contributed to the improvement of living conditions for many of us. We are able to accomplish multiple tasks with lesser labor and time. The same development, however, has brought us countless environmental factors and radical changes in our daily routine.
These may be in the form of pollutants, toxic wastes, highly processed foods containing harmful ingredients and lack of exercise courtesy of machines and transport vehicles, among others. Continued exposure to these factors and drastic changes to our daily activities created conditions that put our general health conditions at risk. One of the initial victims of these changes is our skin health.
Finding the truly effective healthy skin care regimen may be elusive to some. This happens despite the proliferation of countless skin care products that supposedly promote healthy skin condition. You can see in the market numerous creams, lotions, moisturizers and soaps that intend to treat one skin condition or the other. Innovations in technologies and techniques in skin surgery are continuously developed to enhance further our healthy skin. Despite these advances, many people are still having problems with their skin, with seemingly ineffective skin care treatments.
So, what precisely constitutes healthy skin care?
Any healthy skin care must cause the least unwanted side effects; better if none at all. Many commonly available skin care products in the market are reported to cause minor irritations, worsen the skin condition and, sometimes, cause many other diseases. A study conducted by the European Agency for Research on Cancer reported that a little more than one-half of the leading brands of skin care products tested were found to contain at least one cancer-causing chemical. Compounds, such as dioxanne, mineral oil, petroleum, fragrances, alcohol and many other chemicals, continue to be used even by leaders in the cosmetics industry.
Skin care products that supposedly promote healthy skin should treat varying skin conditions effectively. Numerous skin care products sometimes provide palliative measures only. Yes, you may instantly see the desired results. However, you need to repeat the regimen many times in order to maintain the same effect. In the end, you are likely to spend more money buying the same product countless times.
A healthy skin care product must be made only of natural ingredients. Avoid those that are heavily dependent on synthetic substances. They only do more harm than any good to your skin. The natural process of aging sets into motion many bodily changes hugely linked to your skin condition. The body may no longer be able to regenerate damaged and dying cells as fast as it has been when you are much younger.
A healthy skin care must contain, therefore, natural ingredients that help your body enhance its function by promoting cellular metabolism and rejuvenation. One specific example is Phytessence Wakame. This exotic kelp native to Japan Sea only is a rich source of micronutrients that help the body produce more collagen and elastin. Specifically, Phytessence Wakame fights harmful enzymes that break down Hyaluronic acid. This acid acts like a glue that hold together the collagen and elastin bundles on your skin.
Lastly, it is always desirable to accompany these natural skin care products with regular exercise, balance diet and healthy lifestyle. Doing these, when especially coupled with the use of products containing natural ingredients, help you attain your ideal healthy skin care.
