A session of moderate aerobic exercise can help reduce anxiety and improve the quality of sleep for insomnia patients, according to a Brazilian study. Heavy aerobic or moderate strength exercises don’t have the same effect.

Researchers at the Federal University of Sao Paulo divided 28 women and eight men with primary chronic insomnia into three exercise groups — moderate aerobic, heavy aerobic, and moderate strength — and one control group.

After the exercise session, those who did moderate aerobic exercise showed reductions in sleep onset latency (54 percent) and wake time (36 percent) and increases in total sleep time (21 percent) and sleep efficiency (18 percent). They also showed a 7 percent decrease in anxiety.

Isolaz™ Acne Therapy With Pore-Purification: Clear, Radiant Skin Can Be Yours!

If you’re frustrated with acne and wish you had clear, radiant skin - you’re not alone.

You may have tried manual exfoliants, harsh chemical peels or over-the-counter cleansers or oral medications for persistent acne, yet you are still frustrated with breakouts.

Frequent users of cellular phones develop tumors of the parotid gland 50 percent more often than less frequent users, according to a new study published in the American Journal of Epidemiology.Researchers at the Chaim Sheba Medical Center in Israel examined data that included 402 cases of benign and 58 cases of malignant tumors of the parotid gland, the largest of the salivary glands. They found that people who used mobile phones for more than 22 hours each month had a 50 percent higher risk of developing parotid gland tumors. This risk increased among users who always held the phone to the same ear, who did not use handheld devices and who lived in rural areas.

“Analysis restricted to regular users or to conditions that may yield higher levels of exposure (e.g., heavy use in rural areas) showed consistently elevated risks,” the researchers wrote.Tumors formed more frequently on the side of the head that patients most frequently held their phones to.

Summer brings tasty temptations: the siren call of the ice cream truck, the BBQ aromas wafting over fences, and sticky carnival sweets. It’s all right to indulge now and then, but your food and beverage choices can affect your skin, for better or worse. You want to strive for the better, right?

• Drink plenty of water. Dehydration can sap your skin of its luster, and leave you too sluggish to splash, surf, or swim and too pooped to play.
• Know your healthy summer skin ABCs. Eat foods with skin-enriching antioxidants, such as vitamins A, C, and E. It shouldn’t be too hard to find a spot in your summer picnic basket for nuts, citrus fruits, and dark, leafy greens! And B vitamins support skin cells; especially biotin, which can be found in eggs, rice, and oatmeal.
• Swim with the fishes. Essential fatty acids, found in cold-water fish, like salmon and mackerel, are responsible for skin repair, moisture, and elasticity.

Biceps. Next time a handsome man or pretty woman struts by you on the beach, makes a muscle and winks, think twice: Those round, ripped biceps could be fake! Beverly Hills, Calif., plastic surgeon Nikolas Chugay, DO, and others are doing more biceps implants as the beach season approaches.

“It takes an hour and once it’s performed, you’ve got the biceps of Schwarzenegger,” he says. The implants are made of soft silicone that “does not leak, pop, or disintegrate,” he says. They provide “a nice enhancement and you can continue doing your workout and building your biceps without any impingement,” he says.

Most people have been ecstatic with the results of the procedure, he says, but he notes that there are inherent risks with any and all surgeries including infection or bleeding.

When asked if biceps implants are the next big thing, Chugay says: “I think so [but] remember that the buttock implant was developed over 12 years ago and it took this long to become way in demand due to J-Lo’s [generous buttocks], so it may not happen overnight.”

To perform the surgery, a surgeon makes an incision in the upper arm and a solid soft implant is inserted into the pocket. Results are visible immediately.

Rochester researchers showed for the first time that a natural antioxidant found in grape skins and red wine can help destroy pancreatic cancer cells by reaching to the cell’s core energy source, or mitochondria, and crippling its function.

The new study also showed that when the pancreatic cancer cells were doubly assaulted — pre-treated with the antioxidant, resveratrol, and irradiated — the combination induced a type of cell death called apoptosis, an important goal of cancer therapy.

The fact that resveratrol has effects on the mitochondria of cancer cells is particularly interesting, since mitochondria are known to play an important role in apoptosis. One of the main ways cancer therapies such as radiation and chemotherapy kill cancer cells is by inducing apoptosis. However, advanced cancers develop ways of evading apoptosis. (See here.) If resveratrol independently interferes with the function of the mitochondria in cancer cells, that would be helpful.

Cracking the Code of Sexual Chemistry and Attraction

 Our attraction to others may be about having the right chemistry after all. For decades, scientists have studied why humans are attracted to each other and have found that dating and mating is influenced by pheromones, powerful chemicals produced by the body.

Pheromones are natural air-borne chemical hormones the body produces to attract the opposite sex. You can’t see them or smell them, yet they can be powerful enough to instantly draw another person in. They are now thought to be the key to the chemistry of “love at first sight.”

An effective topical pheromone formula for men has been developed with Dr. Virgil Amend. “Our understanding of the human capacity to sense pheromones, and the nerve pathways that that deliver those signals to the brain, have paved the way to the development of this powerful formulation. Had it not been for this understanding, we would not have known which pheromones, and the exact concentrations to use,” explains Amend.

Scientists have known for decades about an organ just inside the nasal cavity called the vomeronasal organ (VNO). It appears that the sole function of the VNO is to detect trace amounts of pheromones, and in turn, to stimulate the limbic region of the brain, also known as the “Seat of Emotions.” This area of the brain is responsible for our emotions and passionate desires.

Specialized nerve pathways known as “Nerve O” run directly from the VNO to the limbic region. These specialized nerves were thought to remain dormant the majority of the time, but have now been confirmed to become quite active when subjected to specific human pheromones. The evidence tells us that humans do, in fact, respond to pheromones just as animals do!
