Acne Treatment Tips and Acne Help Acne is a major problem for many people. No matter what age they are, people suffer from acne. Acne occurs usually during puberty, but pimples can appear also in adulthood due to deeper bacterial problems. Different hormonal imbalances at women during menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause also can cause acne to occur. Acne occurs when the hair follicle pores are clogged by dead skin cells, excess of oil and dirt. The mixture of oil and dead skin cells creates a proliferation environment for acne bacteria. Bacteria must be stopped for preventing new pimples to appear. Overproduction of oil by sebaceous glands of the skin is the main cause that produces acne. If it wasn’t for a moisturized breeding environment acne bacteria wouldn’t flourish. The oil produced by the oily glands gets infected with these acne bacteria.

Multivitamins May Help You Live Longer Shortening of DNA ends linked to rate of aging So how can multivitamins help you live longer? Well, in order to answer this question we need to get into a little bit of genetics. Vitamins don’t only protect us against deficiency related diseases, but also prevent the ends of our DNA from shortening, says a study by the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (Aging & Neuroepidemiology Group). DNA strands make up chromosomes at the end of which are telomeres, areas of repeat DNA sequences that serve the purpose of protecting the chromosomes from damage. In essence, telomeres prevent chromosomes and their DNA from duplicating all the way to their ends during cell division, which would otherwise lead to the loss of the ends of chromosomes and the information contained in it. As biologist and researcher of telomeres, Elizabeth Blackburn, explains, a telomere [...]

Men who have a variant of the COX-2 gene are more prone to develop prostate cancer than other men. Men with this gene variant can be as high as five times more likely to develop cancer of the prostate than other men. One of the deciding factors is the amount of Omega 3 fatty acids they obtain in their diet.Research was conducted on over four hundred and sixty men diagnosed with aggressive prostate cancer. This research was reported in the Clinical Cancer Research Journal of the American Association for Cancer Research. It was found that men with the variant of the COX-2 gene who had low intakes of Omega 3 fatty acids were five times more likely to develop advanced cancer of the prostate.The research assessed those with prostate cancer and a control group who were healthy. Their diet was analyzed using a food frequency questionnaire. Their intake of Omega [...]
