Wellness Retreat - india Goa
Located on the secluded but stunning Sernabatim beach, surrounded by whispering palms and facing the inviting blue waters of the Arabian Sea, The Beach House provides all the ingredients necessary for natural rejuvenation at this lifestyle destination. My visit was prompted by the desire to experience its unique all-inclusive wellness programmes and get my own stressed-out life of a typical Mumbai-ite in order!
The Infrastructure
The Beach House is a boutique wellness retreat with a holistic approach to wellbeing, which is supported by a team of highly-trained Indian and international therapists and doctors who manage the clients. It is the brainchild of Ajit Patel, owner of UK-based Sanda Wellbeing, who was motivated by his severe health issues to launch this wellness centre.
Set on a quiet beach front, the resort is built to offer space and quiet to its guests. The property has 11 modern beautifully-designed rooms of which seven are in duplex villas with a lounge downstairs and a bedroom above. Treatment rooms are housed in quaint spa tents, clustered amidst coconut palms and flowering trees to offer privacy. Facing the sea is the main two-storey bungalow housing the consultation rooms on the first floor, with the expansive reception, lounge and dining area opening out onto a stunning deck with fabulous 180 degree views of the sea. The property is set in a landscaped lawn sloping towards the beach and has private access to it, and thoughtfully-built shacks face the sea, encouraging contemplation and rest.
The Philosophy
According to Ajit Patel, “Wellness and wellbeing is a lot more than health.” He should know, having battled illnesses and surgeries for a large part of his life from the age of 21. “The one thing I realized through all this was what kept me going was my mind,” says Patel, whose conviction was the basis for the ‘wellness retreat’ concept of The Beach House.
Strongly based on a holistic approach to wellbeing, treatments are based on ancient philosophies as well as modern science. Each guest’s wellbeing quotient is assessed based on the Three Chakra assessment developed at The Beach House, according to which everybody is a reflection of his/her physiological, physical and psychological chakra. And if each of these perfect, a state of balance is found, which, as you can imagine is rare!
Every guest receives a medical questionnaire before arrival, so that the team of wellness consultants comprising of doctors, therapists, nutritionists, and yoga and fitness instructors can study it and be prepared. On arrival, they undergo an exhaustive 360 degree screening process on each of the three chakras, basis which a customized line of treatment is followed.
The Treatments
A new guest would typically be met by each member of the specialized wellness team post the screening process, and have a choice of an Ayurvedic or Homeopathic line of treatments for the wellness package they choose. Most packages are for a minimum of five to seven nights and besides Detox and Weight Management, Total Body Rebalancing is one of the most popular. But detox is the basic part of all treatments as cleansing the colon is the basis of everything, and daily intake of psyllium husk and enemas are a part of most packages.
Guests are constantly monitored by the team during this period and often consult each other to facilitate the best results for the guest, and help them reach their goal. Modern science is used to complement traditional therapies and treatments and Hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic-programming (NLP) and emotional freedom techniques (EFT) are some important methods used in counselling. According to Patel, “The biggest part of what we do here is around the mind.”
Every programme advises plenty of rest as it is integral to healing the body and mind. And as The Beach House is not a ‘Spa’ per se but a ‘Wellness Retreat’, spa therapies are one of the elements that are incorporated into their holistic approach to ‘Wellness’, as are fitness, Yoga sessions and meditation.
The Diet
Pre-arrival, all guests complete a comprehensive medical questionnaire detailing current and past health issues as well as family history. The doctors and nutritionists will analyse this first to check the program they have chosen, the type of foods suitable for them, etc. They receive a doctor’s consultation on arrival and according to that their personalised menu is ‘prescribed’.
Manipulations will be made to the menus, if necessary. Say, if they lack a certain nutrient, have blood sugar issues or a health condition, particular foods/drinks/supplements can help. Read the full version of the story on emag.spamantra.in

Give body-and-soul cleansing a real Goa - Ajit patel uk, Ajit patel uk Sanda, Ajit patel uk wellness, Ajit patel uk wellbeing, ajit patel memet, ajit patel goldshield
My idea of a holiday normally involves copious amounts of food, drink, shopping and fun, with the odd full-moon party thrown in. Definitely the days must be hot but the nights must be hotter -- know what I'm talking about? More retox than detox -- that sort of thing.
How I ended up in a remote part of India starving myself for a week is still a mystery to me. The offer of a trip to a "brand new ayurvedic reTREAT in the lush Goan jungle, focusing on looking and feeling fantastic, building beauty from within, using a range of traditional and ancient ayurvedic methods" came along and I was in there like swimwear. I assumed it would involve a few salads and a massage here and there -- that sort of thing.
Anyway, Christmas was coming and the goose wasn't the only thing getting fat.
I barely even looked at the itinerary for this last-minute beauty-seeking mission as I had more important things, such as Brazilians and bikini-buying, to sort. I nearly forgot to get my Indian tourist visa in my haste. The trip from Dublin to London Heathrow, Mumbai to Dabolim airport in Goa involves about 10 hours of air travel. I was then picked up by a jeep to be driven deep into the jungle to the resort, which is about two hours away.
Luckily I'd been to Goa about a decade ago, so I knew what to expect -- such as the hustle and bustle on the roads with elephants, cows and goats meandering next to motorbikes carrying five or six passengers each and everyone beeping like craaaazy!
Some of the girls travelling with me screeched and gripped onto seat belts in terror as we overtook two buses on a blind bend. Everyone drives as if they are a retired rally driver here as basically there are no road rules.
So we arrived a bit tired and emotional at Dudhsagar Spa Resort, which is situated along the Western Ghats, close to one of the highest waterfalls in India and Goa's biggest wildlife sanctuary.
We were greeted by staff who anointed our foreheads with a red dye and handed us a yummy juice drink as we took in the lush greenery and wild monkeys running amok.
Dudhsagar Spa Resort is an eco and wildlife resort where you can stay in either a deluxe eco tent or a fully furnished cabin. I chose a cabin, which was pretty basic -- just a bedroom with a TV and a decent sized bathroom.
But it is all about getting back to basics. Its philosophy is based on the 5,000-year-old Hindu practice of ayurveda --the world's oldest documented treatment of ailments of the body and mind. In Sanskrit "ayur" means "longevity" and "veda" means "knowledge". Ayurveda identifies different body types or constitutions and recommends different diets, health regimes and lifestyles for each of them. The Sanda Wellness team of specialists at Dudhsagar -- which includes nutritionists, doctors, psychologists and beauty therapists -- prescribe and provide practices to purify and detoxify guests.
I had hastily filled out a lengthy form emailed to me prior to my visit, detailing my health, diet and lifestyle. I was to do an Indian detox, which incorporates an ayurvedic menu that includes digestive juices, "mind-boosting" drinks, herbal water, and cleansing drinks of fresh juices and broths. Diet, daily yoga and meditation are an integral part of ayurveda, aimed at balancing the body's "doshas".
Set up by former pharmacist and entrepreneur Ajit Patel, the resort falls somewhere between a spa and a clinic, using Eastern and Western ideas to educate people about their health. It offers tailor-made rejuvenating holidays to heal the body, mind and spirit.
On the first morning, my daily itinerary was delivered to my room and, after a group lecture explaining what we were embarking on, I met the ayurveda doctor at the spa for an assessment.
There are three different body types in ayurveda: kapha, vata and pitta. I am a mixture. My biological age test, based on visceral fat measurement, revealed that I'm 45 and a pH test showed that my body's acidity level was way too high. My chronic insomnia was also discussed and then it was off to learn how to administer a DIY enema! Basically it involves a coffee solution, plastic bucket and tube -- I'll leave the rest to your imagination.
Apparently colon cleansing helps eliminate toxins released during a detox. Apparently, it can even purge old emotions stored in the intestine.
Each day started at 7.30am with a glass of juice and some supplements delivered to my room. Then we met for a yoga session on an outdoor platform with the monkeys running round seeking attention. FYI don't leave your phone lying around -- the monkeys will steal it.
Throughout the day there were the spa treatments -- two a day, anything from reflexology to Indian head massage to a hypnotherapy session. There was juice but very little food and no caffeine, no sugar, no meat, which equals no fun. I'm sure my tummy rumble in the jungle could be heard all the way back in Ireland.
I must admit I struggled at first, feeling tired and emotional with no internet or mobile phone to distract me, but by the third day I began to relax and got into the swing of getting healthy.
There were day trips to the nearby Dudhsagar waterfalls, which are beautiful. We also visited a temple called Mahadev and Bhagwan Mahavir Wildlife Sanctuary.
But to be honest there's not a lot else to do besides relax and recharge your batteries. On my final day I had my "reveal". I was reweighed and re-tested. I had lost a lot of weight off my mind as I was sleeping better, and 6lbs off my body. I was less acidic and my age had come down a few years. It was akin to a kind of full MOT for my body and mind and I'd love to do it once a year now. Who'd a thunk it?
So if you want to escape the world for a while to return refreshed with some helpful health tips, this too could be for you.

Wellness Travel
WE'D only just met, yet here we were discussing bodily functions, stool samples and enemas, as easily as if we were talking about the weather. Half an hour into a week's detox at the Beach House, a new boutique wellness retreat on the secluded and beautiful sands of Sernabatim Beach in southern Goa, the full realisation of what I was in for was beginning to sink in as the Total Body Balancing programme was explained to our group of seven. When a trip to Goa to stay at the Beach House detox retreat was initially suggested, the only words I'd heard were "Goa" and "weight loss", rather like a dog who only hears "walk" and "biscuit". The prospect of shedding half a stone was good enough for me so I hadn't looked into the further reaches of the website. Had I done so, I would have known I was in the hands of a team of nutritionists, medical professionals, holistic and alternative therapists, ayurvedic doctors, yoga instructors, neuro linguistic programming specialists, life coaches, housekeepers and masseuses. As well as providing physical and emotional support, my hosts were keen proponents of twice-daily coffee enemas and a cocktail of colon-cleansing supplements and vitamins designed to meet our nutritional needs, all washed down with fruit and vegetable juices and broths. Effectively our digestive systems were shut down so we could clear out our colons and start again. I had thought there might be the odd salad or fruit smoothie but no food for five days? I'd never last. First, there was the enema to get to grips with. Presented with my first pot of lukewarm coffee, I was finally able to place the faint whiff that hung around my bathroom – coffee – and now I knew why. And that mat in the corner of the bathroom; the one I'd assumed was for yoga? It was for lying on in the foetal position while I waited for the enema to take effect, madly circling my feet in a bid to 'hold' the liquid in to get a better result. "Yoga mats are usually pink or purple," pointed out one of the group who had clearly done more research than me. Another steep learning curve involved yoga. Curves such as the impossible cobra and down facing dog, that left me wishing I could swap places with the happy little beach hounds that spent their days, tails wagging, roaming the golden sands on our doorstep. However, with an hour a day spent under the expert instruction of retreat manager Kate Tyler, our stiff, stressed, toxic bodies slowly uncurled under the warm Goan sun and we began to look forward to our morning stretch. Performed on the terrace, with a view of the Arabian Sea washing up on to Sernabatim Beach, you couldn't fail to appreciate the serene surroundings, and as we relaxed on the mats at the end of the session, you didn't need to visualise the hypnotic swish of the waves because the real thing was right there. There was also the salutary reminder of how good we had it provided by the local fishermen heaving their carved wooden boats back up the beach on rollers, having already done a day's work as we rolled around on mats in order to rid our bodies of the effects of overconsumption.

Your Fifteen Minute Workout: How Fitness Builds Bones - ajit patel uk sanda wellness & wellbeing
Making small changes to our activities could be all we need to maintain our fitness as we get older. If we want to lose some weight, feel fitter or just protect our wellness from conditions related to poor nutrition and low activity levels, we might think we need to completely change our lifestyles. Although it’s possible to look after our wellbeing by starting small, according to health experts.
Where to start
It’s well-known that regular physical activity can help us live longer and more healthily, by reducing cancer, diabetes, stroke and heart disease rates. So even walking, jogging, and gentle swimming to start with can be effective in safeguarding our wellbeing, although we should talk to our GPs before we begin new exercise plans. A type of activity that has also been promoted recently are strength training exercises, with health experts highlighting them as an important part of our workout regimes.
Building strength
These kinds of exercises are normally associated with gyms, weight-lifting and intense activity sessions. But even doing just fifteen minutes a day using a proper fitness video as a guide could lead to improvements in our health. Joining a gym and using their equipment has advantages because fitness experts are available to give us tips. But we can also use our own equipment at home, such as dumbbells, free weights and resistance bands. The reason that strength training can be as important as aerobic exercise is because it can help build bone mass.
Resistance exercises encourage bone cells to grow, which is important as our bones get lighter over time. Some of the exercises can be concentrated in areas prone to fractures when we’re older, like our spine, wrists and hips. Strength training can also lead to stronger muscles, so our posture improves and we may be less likely to fall and injure ourselves as we age.

Weight Lifting is Far Better than You Think - ajit patel uk sanda wellness & wellbeing
While most fitness beginners are happy to take up cardio, you can be a little more cautious when it comes to weight training. Unfortunately, there are many wellness myths surrounding weight training, and these can put you off what is an excellent resource for your fitness efforts. Let’s take a look at four of the more common weight lifting myths, and why you should absolutely stop believing them.
1. Bulking Up and Building Muscle is the Same Thing
You might be sticking to your gruelling cardio routine and body weight exercises at the gym, but avoiding weights means that you can really impede your toning progress. You won’t bulk up if you lift weights; you’ll simply challenge your body, improve your muscle strength and endurance and increase your metabolic wellness. For an average person who does regular weight training and eats a calorie controlled diet, the results of lifting weights will simply be toning up. That’s right, you’ll replace fat with lean muscle, and that’s good for anyone’s weight loss efforts.
2. Lifting Light Weights May Tone Your Body, But Heavier Ones Still Add Bulk
Many people – both men and women – refuse to lift heavier weights because of this major misconception, but some people can and should go heavier. More often than not, people tone up by lifting lighter weights at a higher number of repetitions. However, while this is good for the endurance of your muscles, it is not the ideal way to tone your body. Try lifting heavier weights at a lower number of reps – so long as your muscles are ready. By doing this, you can really build your muscle strength while also burning more fat and increasing metabolism.
3. You Cannot Get Stronger If You Lift Light Weights
People seem to think that it’s all about how much weight you lift, but that isn’t really what matters. Rather, it’s a question of whether you are training your muscles hard until fatigue or not. Especially if you are a beginner, you can very much get results from lifting lighter weights. In fact, if you lift heavier weights from day one, your form will be negatively be affected. Having the right form is vital for most exercises, and also results in reduced chances for injury. You can definitely strengthen your muscles when you train with lighter weights, although you’ll have to work out for longer to take your muscles to fatigue. Therefore, if you’re pressed for time, you might want to start with lesser weights and quickly progress to heavier weights.
4. Some Exercises Can Lengthen Your Muscles
Unfortunately, there is no exercise that can make your muscles grow longer and, as a result, more lean. You can get a lean body through the reduced body fat percentage you get from lifting weights, but it’s simply not possible to add length to your muscles. Your muscles are attached to your bones and, as such, have a certain fixed length. No matter what exercise you do, your muscles cannot grow beyond the length of your bones.
If you hear someone say that a certain weight lifting routine has helped them achieve longer, leaner muscles; what he or she really means is that the routine has helped to create an illusion of longer and leaner muscles by improving their posture and their stance. This is often the case with people who enjoy exercises like Pilates, yoga and dance, as these exercises will improve your range of motion and flexibility. This is because the exercises are mainly cardiovascular in type, but also use bodyweight training that helps tone muscles.

Goa matter of balance - ajit patel uk, ajit patel sanda
posted Located on the secluded but stunning Sernabatim beach, surrounded by whispering palms and facing the inviting blue waters of the Arabian Sea, The Beach House provides all the ingredients necessary for natural rejuvenation at this lifestyle destination. My visit was prompted by the desire to experience its unique all-inclusive wellness programmes and get my own stressed-out life of a typical Mumbai-ite in order!
The Infrastructure
The Beach House is a boutique wellness retreat with a holistic approach to wellbeing, which is supported by a team of highly-trained Indian and international therapists and doctors who manage the clients. It is the brainchild of Ajit Patel, owner of UK-based Sanda Wellbeing, who was motivated by his severe health issues to launch this wellness centre.
Set on a quiet beach front, the resort is built to offer space and quiet to its guests. The property has 11 modern beautifully-designed rooms of which seven are in duplex villas with a lounge downstairs and a bedroom above. Treatment rooms are housed in quaint spa tents, clustered amidst coconut palms and flowering trees to offer privacy. Facing the sea is the main two-storey bungalow housing the consultation rooms on the first floor, with the expansive reception, lounge and dining area opening out onto a stunning deck with fabulous 180 degree views of the sea. The property is set in a landscaped lawn sloping towards the beach and has private access to it, and thoughtfully-built shacks face the sea, encouraging contemplation and rest.
The Philosophy
According to Ajit Patel, “Wellness and wellbeing is a lot more than health.” He should know, having battled illnesses and surgeries for a large part of his life from the age of 21. “The one thing I realized through all this was what kept me going was my mind,” says Patel, whose conviction was the basis for the ‘wellness retreat’ concept of The Beach House.
Strongly based on a holistic approach to wellbeing, treatments are based on ancient philosophies as well as modern science. Each guest’s wellbeing quotient is assessed based on the Three Chakra assessment developed at The Beach House, according to which everybody is a reflection of his/her physiological, physical and psychological chakra. And if each of these perfect, a state of balance is found, which, as you can imagine is rare!
Every guest receives a medical questionnaire before arrival, so that the team of wellness consultants comprising of doctors, therapists, nutritionists, and yoga and fitness instructors can study it and be prepared. On arrival, they undergo an exhaustive 360 degree screening process on each of the three chakras, basis which a customized line of treatment is followed.
The Treatments
A new guest would typically be met by each member of the specialized wellness team post the screening process, and have a choice of an Ayurvedic or Homeopathic line of treatments for the wellness package they choose. Most packages are for a minimum of five to seven nights and besides Detox and Weight Management, Total Body Rebalancing is one of the most popular. But detox is the basic part of all treatments as cleansing the colon is the basis of everything, and daily intake of psyllium husk and enemas are a part of most packages.
Guests are constantly monitored by the team during this period and often consult each other to facilitate the best results for the guest, and help them reach their goal. Modern science is used to complement traditional therapies and treatments and Hypnotherapy, neuro-linguistic-programming (NLP) and emotional freedom techniques (EFT) are some important methods used in counselling. According to Patel, “The biggest part of what we do here is around the mind.”
Every programme advises plenty of rest as it is integral to healing the body and mind. And as The Beach House is not a ‘Spa’ per se but a ‘Wellness Retreat’, spa therapies are one of the elements that are incorporated into their holistic approach to ‘Wellness’, as are fitness, Yoga sessions and meditation.

Give body-and-soul cleansing a real Goa - ajit patel wellness, ajit patel gold shield
My idea of a holiday normally involves copious amounts of food, drink, shopping and fun, with the odd full-moon party thrown in. Definitely the days must be hot but the nights must be hotter -- know what I'm talking about? More retox than detox -- that sort of thing.
How I ended up in a remote part of India starving myself for a week is still a mystery to me. The offer of a trip to a "brand new ayurvedic reTREAT in the lush Goan jungle, focusing on looking and feeling fantastic, building beauty from within, using a range of traditional and ancient ayurvedic methods" came along and I was in there like swimwear. I assumed it would involve a few salads and a massage here and there -- that sort of thing.
Anyway, Christmas was coming and the goose wasn't the only thing getting fat.
I barely even looked at the itinerary for this last-minute beauty-seeking mission as I had more important things, such as Brazilians and bikini-buying, to sort. I nearly forgot to get my Indian tourist visa in my haste. The trip from Dublin to London Heathrow, Mumbai to Dabolim airport in Goa involves about 10 hours of air travel. I was then picked up by a jeep to be driven deep into the jungle to the resort, which is about two hours away.
Luckily I'd been to Goa about a decade ago, so I knew what to expect -- such as the hustle and bustle on the roads with elephants, cows and goats meandering next to motorbikes carrying five or six passengers each and everyone beeping like craaaazy!
Some of the girls travelling with me screeched and gripped onto seat belts in terror as we overtook two buses on a blind bend. Everyone drives as if they are a retired rally driver here as basically there are no road rules.
So we arrived a bit tired and emotional at Dudhsagar Spa Resort, which is situated along the Western Ghats, close to one of the highest waterfalls in India and Goa's biggest wildlife sanctuary.
We were greeted by staff who anointed our foreheads with a red dye and handed us a yummy juice drink as we took in the lush greenery and wild monkeys running amok.
Dudhsagar Spa Resort is an eco and wildlife resort where you can stay in either a deluxe eco tent or a fully furnished cabin. I chose a cabin, which was pretty basic -- just a bedroom with a TV and a decent sized bathroom.
But it is all about getting back to basics. Its philosophy is based on the 5,000-year-old Hindu practice of ayurveda --the world's oldest documented treatment of ailments of the body and mind. In Sanskrit "ayur" means "longevity" and "veda" means "knowledge". Ayurveda identifies different body types or constitutions and recommends different diets, health regimes and lifestyles for each of them. The Sanda Wellness team of specialists at Dudhsagar -- which includes nutritionists, doctors, psychologists and beauty therapists -- prescribe and provide practices to purify and detoxify guests.

wellness retreat - ajit patel sanda wellbeing, ajit patel wellness
The spa: Right on Sernabatim beach in southern Goa, the Beach House prefers to be called a "wellness centre" rather than a spa. There's a doctor, nutritionist and hypnotherapist on the staff, and treatments take place in thatched huts in the well-tended grounds.
The symptoms: A stressful lifestyle and general burning of the candle at both ends had left Spy lacking lustre, with dull skin, sluggish digestion and an unwanted bloated feeling.
The prescription: The seven-night Total Body Rebalancing package, a complete MOT for both body and mind that claims to leave the recipient cleansed and rejuvenated.
The procedure: Spy was mildly alarmed to learn her supposed spa holiday involved a strict detox – no solid food all week, just fruit and vegetable juices and clear broth, accompanied by 28 different supplements and aloe vera shots. More shocking were the twice-daily enemas, thankfully self-administered, and designed to cleanse the colon. There were also two obligatory daily treatments at the spa, as well as sessions with a nutritionist and hypnotherapist, life-coaching and talks on wellbeing. As part of the package, Spy was tested for various diseases and conditions; bone-mass density, acidity levels and visceral fat were also measured.
The verdict: Not an easy week. It's a bit of an emotional roller-coaster, with the first two days a particular struggle, involving headaches and weird dreams. Perfecting the enema technique took Spy a while, too. After the third day, however, things picked up, and by the end of the week Spy found her skin was clearer, digestion was back on track, she had shed a few pounds and felt much more energetic and positive. Visceral fat was revealed to have dropped over the week, too.
The medical opinion: "When doctors speak of detoxification, they usually mean coming off dangerous medication or poisonous substances such as excessive alcohol," says Dr Eric Asher, medical director of Third Space Medicine in London. "Detox in this case means lightening the body's metabolic load by change of diet, gentle movements, massage and assistance with bowel-emptying. Some doctors think this is a waste of time, but patients pay good money for it because they feel better."
The feelgood factor: What made the week bearable was the location right on the beach, the spa treatments, and the dedication of the staff. The resort suites are luxurious, mostly spread over two storeys, with two bathrooms and the comfiest beds in the world. The main house has a vast open-plan sitting area, a terrace for morning yoga, and floor-to-ceiling glass doors looking out on to the ocean.

The Jetsons Diet: Why Seeds Can Take Us into the Future - ajit patel uk
If you were ever into science fiction as a kid, you probably thought that, by the time you reached the age you are now, your diet would be comprised of nutrient-dense, wellness boosting pills (just like in The Jetsons). However, if you’re disappointed that food still looks very much the same as it did 30 years ago, there is still solace to be found: seeds. They may be a little less sci-fi and a little more natural, but seeds give you the opportunity to take care of your wellbeing in (sort of) pill-popping form, and that’s pretty cool.
According to Sharon Palmer, RD, author of the new book The Plant-Powered Diet: The Lifelong Eating Plan for Achieving Optimal Health Beginning Today, edible seeds are packed with fibre, protein, vitamins, and minerals. She comments, ‘People don’t think about grabbing seeds as a snack or as a food source. People think of them as bird food more than anything else.’ However, you should ignore seeds at your peril, as these little beauties also contain high levels of phytosterols, which are plant compounds that have been proven to be just as effective as prescription statins for lowering your cholesterol. Palmer adds, ‘And they’re such easy snacks!’ So, which seeds should you be loading up on?
1. Pumpkin seeds: Being high in protein, iron and zinc isn’t all that pumpkin seeds have to boast about; they’re also one of the best dietary sources of magnesium. This miracle mineral helps to stabilise your blood pressure, build the strength of your bones, and even reduce your stress. In fact, French researchers have found that having high levels of magnesium in their blood means men are 40% less likely to die prematurely compared to men with the lowest levels. Moreover, the phytosterols found in pumpkin seeds help alleviate symptoms associated with having an enlarged prostate, such as urinary difficulties.
2. Sunflower seeds: In just half-a-cup of sunflower seeds you’ll find more than 100% of your daily requirement for alpha-tocopherol, which is the most active form of vitamin E. Vitamin E is a powerful antioxidant that can help you ward of damage from the sun, as it protects your cells from the damage of free radicals and UV rays. On top of this, sunflower seeds are also an excellent source of the antidepressant phenylalanine. Your body turns this amino acid into the brain chemical norepinephrine, which keeps you alert and focused. You can eat these seeds raw, or use sunflower-seed butter on toast if you’re getting sick of peanut butter every morning.
3. Sesame seeds: You probably already love these seeds on burger buns or sesame chicken, but did you know that these seeds are also providing you with an incredibly high amount of calcium, magnesium, iron, and zinc? As they’re so small, sesame seeds probably aren’t the best for snacking but hummus is, and this contains a paste made from ground sesame seeds known as tahini. You can also buy tahini on its own and spread it on flatbreads or pitas, again, just like peanut butter.
4. Chia seeds: Nearly half of the fibre you need every day (11 grams) can be found in a single ounce of chia seeds. These little beauts also contain 18% of your daily calcium requirement, which is more than three times the amount of calcium that milk provides. As well as giving you good digestion and strong bones, chia seeds have some of the highest levels of plant-based omega-3 fatty acids of any seed – so you can throw good heart health into the mix too. Not bad for a little seed, Jetsons here we come!

for Health food bars seem like the holy grail of diet snacking, but how good are they for you, really? Clever marketing and branding, with a few non-regulated buzzwords, means you rarely check the back of the packet before you buy. After all, it’s got fruit, fibre and protein in it, why wouldn’t it be good for you? In actual fact, your average health food bar often contains a hodgepodge of dodgy ingredients compressed into a product that winds up being much closer to a chocolate bar, or even worse in terms of nutritional value. We’ve rounded up six of the worst offenders, but this isn’t an extensive list by any standard, so remember to always read the label.
1. PowerBar Fruit Smoothie Energy Bar (Berry Blast): A blast of berries may seem ideal, but these are just empty superfood buzzwords, without a berry in sight on the ingredient list! What you are, in fact, eating is evaporated cane juice syrup, followed by sugar, fruit juice concentrate, dextrose, and fructose (read: sugar, sugar, sugar and sugar). Moreover, this bar is dripping in calories and has more than double the sugar of your average chocolate bar.
2. Quaker Oatmeal to Go Apples & Cinnamon: Breakfast in a square with oats as the first ingredient? What’s this doing on this list? Sure, the first ingredient is great but as the second one is high-fructose corn syrup, you can see how Quaker Oatmeal to Go might not be so great for your wellness after all. Even though it has an extra gram of protein than your average chocolate bar, this breakfast bar has almost twice as much sugar and more calories. Plus, it contains lost of nasty components, such as artificial colours, chemical preservatives, a number of sugars in their various guises, and two types of partially hydrogenated oils.
3. Genisoy Chunky Peanut Butter Fudge Protein Bar: As this list goes, this bar isn’t such a bad offender but it’s on here for three reasons; calories, sugar and low-fibre. There’s 220 calories in the Genisoy Chunky Peanut Butter Fudge Protein Bar (which is more than you would find in chocolate), 22g of sugar (which, again, is more than your average chocolate bar contains) and only 2g of fibre (which is half the amount you’d get in chocolate).
4. Met-Rx Big 100 Colossal Peanut Butter Pretzel: This isn’t a snack; it’s a full-blown 410-calorie and 28g-of-sugar meal! The Colossal Peanut Butter Pretzel’s second, third, and fourth ingredients are corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, and sugar, so all it’s going to give you is a colossal case of diabetes and weight gain.
5. Muscle Milk Vanilla Toffee Crunch Bar: As a general rule, the phrase “vanilla toffee crunch” doesn’t go hand-in-hand with “diet and nutrition wellness,” but you’d think that a nutritional supplement company who makes such a bar would at least attempt to throw in a little goodness. The primary ingredient in this bar is evaporated cane juice (as in, sugar cane), but the bar also plays host to nine other forms of sugar and two types of hydrogenated oils. Sure, there’s more protein in the crunch bar than you would find in a bar of chocolate, but as the protein comes from hydrolyzed gelatine, it’s not really something to shout about.
6. Seitenbacher Banana Cranberry Bar: For a number of reasons, seitenbacher is generally a good choice for your wellbeing. Their products contain no gluten, GMO soy or anything a vegetarian would have a problem with, and they tend to use simple and natural ingredients. However, you need to steer clear of the banana cranberry option for one glaring reason: it contains 32g of sugar. This is the equivalent of eight teaspoons of the sweet stuff, but with only half the fibre and one-third the protein of a chocolate bar.

Grab-and-Go Snacks that Are Actually Healthy- ajit patel uk, ajit patel wellbeing
There are hundreds of healthy snacks that, with a little time and planning, you can make at home and take into the office. However, most of us don’t have even a little time for diet wellness, so how do you snack in a healthy way when your only option is to grab and go? According to Olympic-trained athlete Amanda Russell, founder of FitStrongandSexy.com and one of Google’s Next Top Fitness Trainer’s in 2012, ‘As much as I love tips on how to make a healthy snack, the reality is that many of us don’t have the time to make all of our snacks and portion them out in advance on a weekly or daily basis. I’m not suggesting you stop cooking at home — and of course I love the idea of homemade anything — but it is possible to find healthy pre-made snacks from your local supermarket.’ So, which healthy snacks does Russell recommend?
1. Chips and Salsa: Russell suggests, ‘You can opt for 15 baked tortilla chips (about one ounce) with 1/4 cup fresh or pre-made salsa or you can maintain the crunch and salty dipping idea but have more per serving with popchips. These thin and crispy, light popped crunchies are perfect for the chip lover who thrives on crunch but doesn’t want to rack up a lot of fat or calories per serving. My Picks: PopchipsSea Salt and GreenMountain Gringo Salsa.’
2. Hard-Boiled Egg: ‘This snack is so inexpensive and loaded with nutrients,’ Russell enthuses. ‘Eggs are one of the best ways to get a healthy dose of protein and nutrients. But be sure to eat the whole egg – the yolk carries much of the nutrients. I am known to keep a hard-boiled egg in my purse (I kid you not!) because it’s one of my little secrets to staying fuelled and lean. My Picks: Homemade- Try hard boiling and pre-peeling a dozen at the start of the week and throw one in a small Tupperware container each day for an easy on-the-go snack. Or, you can literally get them everywhere, from 7-Eleven to Starbucks. It truly is a snack that is easier to find that you think, I know I have often been on road trips or in airports and needing “something” to snack on or give my salad more substance.’
3. Nut Butter Treats: ‘Try Nut Butter-sicles,’ Russell suggests. ‘Your choice of nut butter, just got better and so easy. Simply freeze 1/4 cup of your choice of nut better with 3/4 cup of your favourite type of milk. My Picks: I love Nutella (I am a chocolate lover after all) and I like also Barney almond butter. Stir in a little mashed banana to make it a NutButter-Banana-Sicle.’
4. Fibre Bars: Russell asserts, ‘This is a great substitute for a candy bar! It’s not just the digestive system that can thank fibre for proper functioning; the heart benefits too! Another benefit is that fibre bars don’t have the funny taste or high calorie content of many protein and nutrition bars. My Picks: Fibre One Oats and Peanut Butter OR Oats and Chocolate Bar. These bars are packed with fibre, and also satisfy a peanut butter craving or chocolate chip craving!’
5. Popcorn: Russell points out, ‘There are so many great grab-and-go size single serving popcorn varieties now – what I love is the quantity and fibre you can pack without throwing away your daily intake! My Pick: Skinny Pop – once you try it, you’ll be addicted. What do they do to their popcorn? I will pay way too much for a bag – simply because the taste cannot be matched!’

4 Most Common Auto Injuries and How to Address Them -ajit patel uk, ajit patel sanda
In the US in 2013 alone, over 2 million people were injured in auto accidents. Even when an accident is classified as a “fender bender”, there is a risk of injury. Some injuries are more obvious than others, and some may not even be detected until days or even weeks later. People often feel the need to “shake it off” when there is no visible injury, however, some unseen injuries can have lasting negative consequences.
Here are the four most common injuries resulting from car accidents.
Neck Injuries
Neck injuries are fairly common due to the violent jerking of the neck that typically happens when a vehicle is suddenly struck. Neck injuries may include sprains or strains in the soft tissues of the neck, herniated or dislocated disks in the neck, or whiplash.
Whiplash is caused when the head forcefully hits the headrest and then flies forward, being jerked to a stop when the seatbelt holding the body in place forces the head to stop. This series of motions can cause severe strain in the muscles, strains in the ligaments of the neck, and it can force the cervical vertebrae to misalign. Symptoms of whiplash may include pain and stiffness in the neck, nausea, dizziness, and intense headaches.
Back Injuries
The symptoms associated with a back injury may not surface for days following the accident. Car accidents can cause misalignments of the spine and herniated discs. A misalignment can lead to inflammation, leg pain, loss of range of motion, and severe headaches. A herniated disc can also lead to inflammation, as well as back pain and numbness or tingling in the legs.
Herniated discs can lead to lifelong pain and problems. Depending on the severity of the herniation, it may be treated with surgery. However, most people do not have surgery. The most common treatment plans include medication, physical therapy, and a change in lifestyle.
Brain Injuries
When the body is forced into a sudden jerking motion as it would be during a car accident, the brain can slam against the inside of the skull similarly to when a football player is tackled. This causes a closed head injury, which can be anything from a mild concussion to a traumatic brain injury (TBI). Closed head injuries are the most common injury suffered during a car accident.
Concussions, which are the most common type of closed head injuries, can cause dizziness, memory loss, and headaches that range from mild to severe. Depending on the severity of the injury, headaches can last for days or even weeks.
A TBI can lead to a wide range of complications including permanent changes to speech, thinking, vision, and general physical ability. TBI can also lead to coma or death. According to Herron Law, a firm with Austin car accident lawyers, auto-related deaths have increased 42% since 2011.
Leg & Knee Injuries
Leg and knee injuries are fairly common in car accidents and are generally classified as impact injuries. These types of injuries are often caused by the legs either hitting the underside of the dashboard or the steering wheel during impact, or from the driver forcefully pushing down on the brake pedal during impact. Impact injuries in the legs often result in broken bones, deep bruising, or sprains, which can lead to pain, swelling, and a loss of motion range.
Due to the fact many injuries can go undetected at first, it is important for all those involved in an accident to get checked out by a medical professional. Injuries caused by an auto accident can be traumatizing. Your first priority needs to be taking care of yourself and those that may have been in the car with you.

The Best Treatments for Chronic Back and Neck Pain - ajit patel uk, ajit patel goldshield
Chronic back and neck pain affect a shocking number of U.S. adults. Recent Gallup-Healthways research found that more than 30% of Americans polled suffer from a neck or back condition. Fortunately, there is help for those struggling with this health concern.
Heat and Cold
The application of heat and cold to a sore neck or back is one of the simplest and least expensive ways to combat chronic pain. Heat wraps, warm baths, hot gel packs and heating pads frequently offer pain relief. Moist or dry heat are two options that can be used to cope with neck and back pain. Applying ice to the affected area soon after any activity that causes stiffness or discomfort can also be a useful strategy.
Acupuncture
The use of acupuncture is gaining acceptance in the West though this ancient treatment technique, which has its origins in traditional Eastern medicine. The National Institutes of Health has acknowledged that acupuncture has beneficial pain-relieving qualities that might be useful as a treatment for back pain and other painful conditions. Several years ago, the World Health Organization (WHO) published an official report listing 31 symptoms, conditions and diseases that have been shown in controlled trials to be treated effectively by acupuncture. Lower back and neck pain were both included in this list. This pain management technique involves the application of needles to specific points throughout the body. It is believed that this action stimulates the central nervous system to release chemicals that naturally combat pain.
Physical Therapy/Rehabilitation
Physical therapy and rehabilitation treatment are commonly prescribed for those struggling with chronic neck and back pain issues. A physical therapist is trained to use stretching, strengthening and low-impact aerobic exercises to assist in reducing pain associated with these conditions.The professionals often teach patients exercises to use at home to cope with reoccurring pain and discomfort.
Massage
Massage therapy has become extremely popular. Spine-Health.com reports that more than 50 percent of healthcare providers will encourage their patients to use massage therapy as a compliment to traditional medical treatment. Research has shown this therapy improves blood circulation to help the body heal sore muscles and that is can be helpful to improve range of motion. The actions of massage therapy also promote the release of neurotransmitters called endorphins. These chemicals are part of the body’s natural defense against pain and stress.
Various other treatments are available to relieve chronic neck and back pain, but these are some of the least invasive tools that can be used for relief. Consultation with a qualified healthcare provider is always recommended before starting any treatment. Relief is available for the many people affected by this common health condition.

Five Potentially Harmful Effects Of Painkillers - ajit patel uk, ajit patel sanda
Painkillers are very often a good way to temporarily relieve moderate to severe pain. However, there are side effects to any medication. Below are five things you should watch out for when taking pain medication:
Painkillers Might Interact With Other Medications
Always follow your doctor’s instructions carefully when taking pain medications. Painkillers can interact with over the counter and prescription medicines to produce frightening results. For instance, any painkiller that use ibuprofen will interact with aspirin. Ibuprofen also interacts with rheumatoid arthritis drugs and anti-depressants. Always make sure you’re aware of the drugs your medication will interact with.
Painkillers Can Make Your Symptoms Worse
New studies have shown that if you use painkillers too often, you might be in even greater pain afterward. For instance, regular use of codeine can lead to higher pain sensitivity, making you want to use even more of the drug. This creates a harmful cycle that can lead to addiction and dependence. For this reason, it’s recommended that patients not take codeine more than three days in a row.
Painkillers That Use Opiates Are Highly Addictive
People who suffer from chronic pain are often prescribed opiates as part of their therapy. If their opiate intake isn’t carefully managed, you could find yourself addicted to your medication.
An opiate overdose is very dangerous. Taking too big a dose can lead to respiratory arrest, nausea, vomiting, confusion and even death. Patients should be very careful when taking opiates and only do so under a doctor’s strict supervision.
Acetaminophen Can Cause Liver Damage
Acetaminophen is a common ingredient in over the counter pain medications such as Tylenol. Liver toxicity can occur when more than 4,000 milligrams are taken per day. Toxicity can occur in even lower doses when medications are mixed with moderate alcohol consumption or other medications. Even with over the counter drugs, you should be careful. Remember to always read the labels.
Even NSAIDs Can Have Side Effects
NSAIDs are anti-inflammatory painkillers such as ibuprofen. Though there are usually no harmful side effects associated with these medicines, in rare cases patients have developed stomach ulcers. Other side effects include cardiovascular problems. If you notice any of these problems when you’re taking an NSAID, stop taking it and immediately call your doctor. You should never mix NSAIDs with other painkillers.
Always call your doctor if you experience minor side effects from painkillers. For severe side affects you should go immediately to the emergency room. If you think you might be addicted to painkillers, contact your local drug and alcohol rehab center immediately.

Beat the Addiction: 5 Steps to Recovering Your Life and Wellness - ajit patel uk, ajit patel wellness
The rehab and recovery process is never going to be easy, but every day that is spent struggling with an addiction is one more chance for a catastrophic or life-threatening mishap to take place. Anyone who is ready to permanently beat their addiction should take a look at these steps for a quick and healthy recovery.
1. Take Personal Responsibility
A variety of factors can result in an addiction to drugs or alcohol, but those who want to become permanently sober need to take personal responsibility for the addiction and for the recovery process. Holding oneself accountable is the only way to enact long-term changes and create a healthy and fulfilling life.
2. Create a Safe Environment
No matter what kind of treatment is decided on, everyone with dependency issues will need to return back to their home at some point. There are sure to be a number of triggers and temptations throughout this process, but creating a safe environment in the home is a vital step. This should include removing all drugs and alcohol and speaking with any roommates or family members about keeping these items out of the home.
3. Discuss Inpatient Treatment Options
Depending on the severity of the addiction and the chemicals that are being abused, some drugs have relapse rates of over 90 percent. One of the most effective ways to avoid multiple relapses is to check into an inpatient facility for at least 30 days in order to help “reset” your lifestyle and way of thinking while building the tools that you will need to transition back into your daily life. Another key is to not give up trying even if you relapse. Though you may not pull it off the first time, don’t get discouraged. Multiple attempts and a committed mindset are crucial to moving on from substance abuse.
4. Get Past Legal Obstacles Quickly
Having any drug charges looming over one’s head is going to make the process of recovery exponentially harder. Instead of dealing with an ongoing legal battle while experiencing withdrawal symptoms, it is important to contact a drug crimes attorney who specializes in helping substance abusers navigate the legal process and begin focusing on their health and rehabilitation.
5. Rethink Eating and Exercise Habits
After a long-term addiction a human body will no longer be able to balance its hormones and chemicals naturally. It will take everyone at least some time for their body to fully recover, but one of the easiest ways to speed up this process is with healthy eating and exercise. Eating clean and working out for at least 30 minutes a day will help your body to re-balancing adrenaline, endorphins, and serotonin.
Every single addict’s path to recovery starts with that first step of taking personal responsibility and fully committing yourself, even after a relapse. From there, addicts can begin seeking out the professional services that they will need to move past the physical, financial, legal, and emotional side-effects of their dependency.

Declutter for a Greener Home - ajit patel uk, ajit patel wellbeing
Is your home a haven of organised tranquillity – or are your cupboards and drawers bursting at the seams with junk? Clutter in the home is known to drain our emotional energy – after all, looking at mess is depressing and having to battle with clutter every time you want to find something is frustrating. But clearing the clutter in your home isn’t just beneficial for your emotional health – getting rid of excess possessions can actually make your lifestyle greener too.
As the popularity of buying second-hand goods from thrift stores, online auction sites and charity shops grow; more and more people are choosing recycled goods rather than buying new products from high street shops. This is great news for the environment as the manufacture of new products can be a huge drain on the world’s resources. By having a clear out and donating the things you no longer need to others, you’ll be helping to support the second-hand movement.
In addition, simply getting rid of the things you no longer use can reduce your own consumption. For example, have you ever found yourself buying something you thought you needed only to find that you already have two or three of the same item in a cupboard that you’d forgotten about? Without the clutter, it’s easier to see what you already own and this means you’re less likely to buy things you don’t need.

Could Your Diet Plan Do With a Boost? Try Hypnosis! - ajit patel uk, ajit patel wellness
If you’ve ever tried to lose weight, you’ll know that half the battle is in your mind. This is where hypnosis weight loss programmes come in. When you’re under hypnosis — a state of inner absorption and concentration — you are highly focused and more responsive to ideas about behavioural changes that might benefit your wellbeing, such as your eating habits. But what makes the hypnosis weight loss diet different from any other diet?
According to Nancy B. Irwin, PsyD, CHt, a speaker and author who uses hypnosis to help people become aware of why they overeat, ‘My premise is that there is positive intent behind every bit of human behaviour. No one ever does anything to deliberately be bad or wrong, or even evil…similarly, no one chooses to be obese.’ Clinical experience has taught Irwin that the positive intent behind overeating comes down to numbing emotional pain, thwarting unwanted sexual advances or to literally stand out/be seen.
A University of Connecticut study, published in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, found that hypnosis weight loss programmes can provide a healthy way to address these needs without damaging your wellness. When participants took part in cognitive-behavioural treatments for weight loss reduction, they lost an average of 6lbs. However, when others added hypnosis to this treatment, the average weight loss was 12lbs. Irwin explained that hypnotherapists can reprogramme dieters to follow proper nutritional habits so they are able to commit to an ‘appropriate exercise regime, and most importantly to manage their thoughts, which are self-hypnotic suggestions 24/7.’
Bob Choat, fitness trainer and author of Mind Your Own Fitness, added that hypnosis can offer support to healthy eating and an exercise plan — but it’s not a magic pill. ‘What I’ve discovered regarding weight loss is that simply using hypnosis alone is not enough,’ he said. ‘Immediate action after a hypnosis session is important. Also, special suggestions, such as eating healthy veggies or increasing walking, is part of the solution.’
You can try hypnosis at home using books, videos, or audio recordings and your own voice to form a close connection between your body and mind for a specific reason. Make sure you find a quiet, distraction-free place for five to 30 minutes, making sure you’re as relaxed as possible. Breathe in and out deeply to release any negative energy in your body and mind, and imagine overcoming your weight loss goal. Repeat the statement to reaffirm your confidence in accomplishing your goal, and slowly locate your body and mind back to reality and open your eyes.

Shed and Shred: The Best Exercises to Lose Weight and Gain Muscle - ajit patel uk, ajit patel wellbeing
Depending on your starting point of personal fitness and what sort of outcome you’d like to work towards, the best exercises for your personal needs will vary. However, there are some general guidelines and types of exercises that will help everyone to both burn fat and to build healthy body mass or muscle. Body builders and those who are interested in adding substantial bulk will still want to investigate methods that enhance different areas of physical fitness. Below, we’ll offer some specific exercises, as well as general areas of focus for those who are interested in improving their fitness, shedding body fat, and crafting lean body mass.
Aerobic Activity, Finding Your Pace, and Health Benefits
Whether you are trying to lose a hundred pounds or five, aerobic exercise is beneficial in a number of ways. First, it helps to maintain the strength and fitness of your cardiovascular and respiratory system, two vital bodily systems that will come into play in all types of workouts. These types of exercise build slow twitch muscle fibers—the type needed for the long, slow push of endurance, which will stand you in good stead in any endeavor. Another benefit is that it burns calories in a steady manner, which makes it both beneficial and easy to maintain.
Swim, Walk, or Jog?
If you’re a beginner with a substantial challenge before you, consider swimming as a zero-impact, yet intensely beneficial, form of aerobic activity. Not only will it tone your muscles, but even a doggy paddle stroke is effective. You can burn up to 700 calories per hour of steady swimming, but even half that offers a huge improvement. Some people, unfortunately, miss out on the many benefits of swimming because they never learned how to swim. A Houston swimming lessons specialist says learning to swim is an extremely healthy and potentially life-saving skill, so consider taking swimming lessons to add an aquatic element to your fitness routine. Walking will also be beneficial, laying the groundwork for further development as you progress in your fitness plan. Jogging is more stressful on the joints of hips, knees, ankles and the delicate structures of the feet. That means that when you are ready to try it, make sure you’re doing it correctly to avoid injury.
Resistance and Balance
With the use of tension bands, you can tone your core muscles, improve your balance and burn fat at the same time. While they utilize two different principals, these are two tools that are easily purchased and used anywhere—home or gym. Tension bands offer resistance that is customized based on how short your band length is. This offers many of the benefits of traditional weights, as well as helping to improve your range of motion and balance. When you tone your core muscles—those muscle groups around your mid-section, primarily—you also improve your posture and by association, your stamina will improve. Many individuals enjoy using resistance bands in conjunction with a Pilates workout to maximize flexibility and cardiovascular stamina
Unintentional Rigor
Kettlebells are iron forms with attached grips. Their unevenly distributed weight causes your core muscles to work harder to maintain balance and necessary tension, which provides an intensive workout in a short period of time. Because all your muscle groups can be worked using these in conjunction with a simple set of motions, kettlebells are incredibly popular. Use both the bands and kettlebells to attain a high-intensity workout that will burn calories and tone muscles. While the bells can be used as they are, there are many established workout programs that you may find beneficial.
Once you’ve created a routine with aerobic and core fitness as key tenets, if you wish to incorporate further strength or cross-training, consider developing a routine in the weight room with a personal trainer. They have the expertise to guide you in a safe and effective manner toward your goals. As well, they will help you learn the correct form for lifting heavier weights, or help you to craft a more effective routine with swimming, your resistance bands, and the kettlebells. No matter what your goals, it all starts with a simple choice to improve your health and quality of life.

Get the back and shoulders of Halle Berry
How does Halle Berry achieve her amazing back shoulders? She uses a technique called dumbbell back rocks. This involves sitting on a stability ball and bending at the waist until your body is parallel to the floor, chest is on knees, and arms are hanging toward the floor. You then draw your elbows back and up, bringing your shoulder blades toward each other, and finally lower dumbbells back down.
Get the bum of Jennifer Aniston
To get her bum toned for her movie roles Jennifer Aniston is known to use the dancing half-moon kick. This is a move that combines yoga and the traditional workout and you perform the move by standing in the straddle stance with your knees bent and your toes facing out. You should then shift your weight onto your right leg while straightening out your left leg. Then bend sideways over your leg. Finally you need to put both of your hands on the floor just in front of your right foot. And then you need to extend your left leg toward the ceiling while straightening your right leg out. This works as a fantastic way to get your glutes working hard.
Get the legs of Gwyneth Paltrow

It’s a great way to work out your whole leg in one move and you can do it by sitting on the floor and putting your weight onto your right hip, place your hands and forearms on the floor for support then lift your leg up into the air with your foot fully flexed, and then bring the leg down so that it is nearly touching the floor. You can then repeat the process with the other leg.

The truth is that she uses a move called the twisting plank. To do this you need to begin in the plank position, which is the same as how you would start a press up. Then bring your right knee towards to your left elbow and then return it back again. You can then repeat the process for the other side. This will have your abs toned up and looked positively Alba-esque in no time.

Get the arms of Jessica Biel
Jessica Biel gets the kind of arms that are in all her Hollywood movies by going to back to basics and choosing do the humble press up. Press ups are great because they work out your whole arm and your chest muscles as well. They give you incredible looking arms.
Get the back and shoulders of Halle Berry
How does Halle Berry achieve her amazing back shoulders? She uses a technique called dumbbell back rocks. This involves sitting on a stability ball and bending at the waist until your body is parallel to the floor, chest is on knees, and arms are hanging toward the floor. You then draw your elbows back and up, bringing your shoulder blades toward each other, and finally lower dumbbells back down.
Get the bum of Jennifer Aniston
To get her bum toned for her movie roles Jennifer Aniston is known to use the dancing half-moon kick. This is a move that combines yoga and the traditional workout and you perform the move by standing in the straddle stance with your knees bent and your toes facing out. You should then shift your weight onto your right leg while straightening out your left leg. Then bend sideways over your leg. Finally you need to put both of your hands on the floor just in front of your right foot. And then you need to extend your left leg toward the ceiling while straightening your right leg out. This works as a fantastic way to get your glutes working hard.
Get the legs of Gwyneth Paltrow
Gwyneth Paltrow is famous for having great legs, but what’s her secret? Well, she uses a workout move known as the crossover leg lift. It’s a great way to work out your whole leg in one move and you can do it by sitting on the floor and putting your weight onto your right hip, place your hands and forearms on the floor for support then lift your leg up into the air with your foot fully flexed, and then bring the leg down so that it is nearly touching the floor. You can then repeat the process with the other leg.
Get the abs of Jessica Alba
Who wouldn’t want the abs of Jessica Alba? Her toned midriff is lauded for the fact that it looks so great in many of her movie roles. So it’s often wondered how she does it. The truth is that she uses a move called the twisting plank. To do this you need to begin in the plank position, which is the same as how you would start a press up. Then bring your right knee towards to your left elbow and then return it back again. You can then repeat the process for the other side. This will have your abs toned up and looked positively Alba-esque in no time.

What to Expect from the Most Common Cosmetic Medical Procedures - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellness
When considering undergoing a common cosmetic medical procedure such as botox, laser hair removal, laser skin resurfacing, microdermabrasion or liposuction, it’s important to be aware of what to expect out of the process and recovery.
What to Expect With Cosmetic Surgical Procedures
There are two basic types of cosmetic medical procedures, surgical and non-surgical. In regards to the former, you can expect a longer recovery time with common procedures like liposuction, breast augmentation and abdominoplasty.
Every prospective patient will need to ask their doctor whether they qualify for this type of procedure. During the procedure, you can expect to receive general anesthesia, though there are times when your health care professional will use local anesthesia to numb the area of focus.
However, these procedures are all practically harmless. After the procedure is completed, you can expect scars, bruising and some swelling around the affected areas, all of which should fade away over a brief period of time. You should be able to leave the hospital or surgical center on the same day as the procedure.
What to Expect With Cosmetic Non-Surgical Procedures
In regards to non-surgical cosmetic procedures like botox, laser skin resurfacing and laser tattoo removal, you will find there is even less risk associated with these than surgical procedures. Depending on the procedure, you can generally expect to receive some type of pain management during the treatment, such as cooling gel for anything involving lasers or a numbing injection for something like botox.
Once finished with any of the above-listed procedures, you should only experience some minimal bruising or swelling around the treated area for a week or two. For instance, if you are looking to get a tattoo removed, this process utilizes a laser to break up the ink with a simple light beam. Over a few sessions, the tattoo will dissipate and fade altogether. According to a Salt Lake City laser tattoo removalspecialist, this is a highly effective procedure which only requires a handful of treatments. This safety and effectiveness is what you can expect with all non-surgical procedures.
Overall, cosmetic medical procedures have advanced a lot over the years, to the point where they are associated with very few, if any, risks. If you have the desire to undergo one of these procedures, there’s nothing that should keep you from exploring your options today!

In the Name of Youth: 4 Risky Things You Do to Your Skin - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Goldshield
You may do all sorts of things in the name of anti-ageing wellness, but at what cost to your overall wellbeing? As it turns out, some of the treatments and beauty decisions you take in the name of looking younger, cooler and more attractive may in fact be dangerous to your health. Wellness expert Linda Thrasybule shares common skin treatments that aren’t worth the risk.
1. Tanning
Thrasybule notes, ‘Despite the serious health risks linked with indoor tanning, many Americans, particularly teens, still sit under sunlamps and tanning beds to get a bronzed look, according to a recent study. Indoor tanning beds and sunlamps emits ultraviolet (UV) radiation that can damage the skin, which can lead to premature skin aging, skin burns, eye damage and skin cancer. Nearly 28 million people tan indoors in the United States annually, according to the American Academy of Dermatology. Of these, 2.3 million are teens. Moreover, frequent exposure to UV light may lead to an addiction to tanning. A 2010 study in the journal Clinical and Experimental Dermatology found that females, and those who are start tanning at a younger age may be particularly vulnerable to developing a compulsive desire to tan.’
2. Tattoos
‘The number of tattoos a person gets is linked to an increased risk of Hepatitis C, a 2010 study suggested,’ Thrasybule details. ‘Especially if the needle used to create your tattoo is contaminated with infected blood. Hepatitis C is caused by a virus that attacks and inflames the liver, which can lead to cirrhosis, or scarring, of the liver tissue, liver cancer and liver failure, according to the Mayo Clinic. People who get tattoos are also prone to skin infections, causing redness, swelling and pain. Moreover, tattoo dyes that are red, green, yellow and blue can cause allergic skin reactions, such as an itchy rash at the tattoo site.’
3. Botox Injections
‘Botox injections have become the quick fix for facial wrinkles,’ Thrasybule points out. ‘Botox, a medicinal form of botulinum toxin type A, relaxes muscle for several months. The toxin is produced by Clostridium botulinum, a bacteria that causes botulism, a rare but serious illness. Although the injections are generally safe, side effects and complications can occur, including pain and bruising at the injection site, headaches, nausea and temporary muscle weakness. In 2009, the US Food and Drug Administration approved Botox for cosmetic use, but with a boxed warning label that states a risk of the toxin spreading to other areas of the body, causing symptoms similar to those of botulism, including difficulty swallowing and breathing and even death. But these symptoms have mostly been reported in children with cerebral palsy who are treated with Botox for muscle spasticity, a use of the drug that has not been approved by FDA.’
4. Skin Bleaching Creams
Thrasybule cautions, ‘Some cosmetic products, including skin-lightening creams, contain high levels of mercury, according to the FDA. Mercury is used in skin-lightening creams because it blocks the production of the skin pigment melanin, reported NPR’s Health blog in March. High levels of mercury can also be found in some soaps, lotions and anti-aging products that are manufactured overseas and sold illegally in the US, the FDA said. “Exposure to mercury can have serious health consequences,” said Charles Lee, M.D., a senior medical advisor at FDA. It can damage the kidneys and the nervous system, and interfere with the development of the brain in unborn children and very young children. The FDA recommends checking the label of any skin lightening or anti-aging products. If you see the words like mercurous chloride, calomel, mercuric, mercurio, or mercury, stop using the product immediately.’

- Coffee has cancer-protective properties.
It releases anti oxidants in the body which scavenge cancer causing free radicals. Reducing the number of these harmful ions reduces the chances of developing cancer in future. It also delays the aging process. Caffeine has an added function of altering some metabolic fractions of lipids which play a critical role in preventing oncogenic changes in the body. - Coffee has cardio-protective actions:
In the long run, caffeine drinkers have been seen to possess a healthier heart, if all other parameters are kept constant, when compared to non-coffee drinkers. Cafestol is a specific antioxidant which has a negative impact on the cholesterol loading in the body, thus reducing the chances of atherosclerosis, that is, fat plaque deposition in the arteries which is a cause of strokes. It has also been associated with anti-arrhythmic properties in some studies. - Coffee reduces the chances of cavities in your teeth:
The root cause of caries in teeth is the adhesion of bacteria-laden plaque on tooth surfaces which creates a local acidic environment sufficient to create a cavity. Certain compounds such as polyphenols found in coffee play an anti-adhesive role, therefore improving your oral health in the long run. The high temperature of coffee also plays a significant role in decreasing the bacterial load within your mouth. - It increases physical performance and endurance:
Coffee has been consumed as an energy drink since time immemorial. It improves mental alertness and reduces physical fatigue. It enhances the stamina for a short period and is preferred by many athletes for its ergogenic capability. Caffeine has a sharp effect on concentration and helps in focusing attention. - It plays a protective role for the liver:
Alcohol has long been established by one of the leading causes of liver diseases. Coffee plays a nullifying role in this regard. It does so by reducing the damage cause by alcoholic liver by 20 percent for every cup of coffee consumed. - It helps the brain stay active:
Its role in enhancing alertness has already been emphasized on, so it is only logical that this effect extends into improving brain functions. It preserves the brain activity potential in older people. It has even been used to improve the condition of patients suffering from Alzheimer’s disease in a scientific study. It acts against cognitive decline.

How to Eat Your Way to an Amazing, Acne-Free Complexion - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda
You may want to look younger, but having spots like a greasy teenager probably wasn’t what you had in mind. Acne is a common problem, especially if you have oily skin, but there are ways in which your diet can help.
1. Pick up more protein
Your skin cells react and recover faster from infections with a high intake of protein, as these prevent the secretion of oil onto your skin. This hampers the main cause of acne, as well as causing your skin to replace old cells quickly and become more light and soft.
2. Choose the right kind of fats
You might think fats aggravate your skin problems, but in fact you need a 1:3 ratio of omega-3 and omega 6 fatty acids to help your brain work properly and also fight acne. For omega-3, turn to olive oil, flax seed oil, fresh salmon, etc., while you can get omega 6-fatty acids from beef, red chicken, all nuts and peanut butter.
3. Find your favourite fruits
No food is better than fruits for skin wellness. Try apples to gradually reduce acne, or apricots for the vitamin A, vitamin B complex and fibre you need to control and fight spots. Bananas are a known boost to anti-ageing wellness, as their high content of potassium acts against acne-causing bacteria, while cherries help to cleanse your blood, which is vital in suppressing spots and pimples. For vitamin A and C try cantaloupe melons, or else pick papaya and other citrus fruits.
4. Eat vital vegetables
A strong way to clean up acne is by eating raw vegetables, especially the key players. Carrot is beneficial as it contains vitamin A, carotene and magnesium, while the nutrients in cucumber (notably vitamin A and vitamin C) control your acne and enrich your skin tone. Spinach is a skin superstar, providing you with iron, vitamins A and K and antioxidants, and finally garlic can control your skin’s oil balance, so you might want to add it to dishes or even directly apply garlic juice to the spots themselves.
5. Choose acne-treating carbs
Carbohydrates have a huge impact on your body’s inflammation and the balance of your blood sugar. This means that the carbs you eat have to be suitable for acne; low-glycaemic carbohydrates. These carbs don’t exacerbate inflammation, so try to get your carbohydrate fix from beans, legumes, oats, barley and quinoa, and eat them along with protein to effectively treat your acne.
6. Make sure you get all your vitamins and minerals
We’ve touched on this with the fruits and vegetables sections, but vitamins and minerals are so vital to your skin health that it bears repeating. The essential vitamins for preventing acne are vitamins A, C, D and K, while your non-miss-able minerals include magnesium, potassium and zinc.
The reason why these nutrients are so important is that they have the properties you need to fight against harmful bacteria, exfoliate your skin of any dry and nasty bits, act on those persistent pimples and eliminate the inflammation on any skin rashes you might have. You’ll probably get all the vitamins and minerals you need if you eat a decent amount of fruit and veg – especially those listed above – but if not, talk to your doctor about deficiencies and the possibility of vitamin and mineral supplements.
7. Limit your consumption of dairy and processed foods
Milk products antagonize your affected skin, because they are high in saturates animal fats. This means that they promote the growth of bacteria, and so you’ll never protect your wellbeing against acne. Processed foods likewise promote the growth of acne and skin problems, as these contain skin-harming preservatives.

You might think fats aggravate your skin problems, but in fact you need a 1:3 ratio of omega-3 and omega 6 fatty acids to help your brain work properly and also fight acne. For omega-3, turn to olive oil, flax seed oil, fresh salmon, etc., while you can get omega 6-fatty acids from beef, red chicken, all nuts and peanut butter.
3. Find your favourite fruits
No food is better than fruits for skin wellness. Try apples to gradually reduce acne, or apricots for the vitamin A, vitamin B complex and fibre you need to control and fight spots. Bananas are a known boost to anti-ageing wellness, as their high content of potassium acts against acne-causing bacteria, while cherries help to cleanse your blood, which is vital in suppressing spots and pimples. For vitamin A and C try cantaloupe melons, or else pick papaya and other citrus fruits.
4. Eat vital vegetables
A strong way to clean up acne is by eating raw vegetables, especially the key players. Carrot is beneficial as it contains vitamin A, carotene and magnesium, while the nutrients in cucumber (notably vitamin A and vitamin C) control your acne and enrich your skin tone. Spinach is a skin superstar, providing you with iron, vitamins A and K and antioxidants, and finally garlic can control your skin’s oil balance, so you might want to add it to dishes or even directly apply garlic juice to the spots themselves.
5. Choose acne-treating carbs
Carbohydrates have a huge impact on your body’s inflammation and the balance of your blood sugar. This means that the carbs you eat have to be suitable for acne; low-glycaemic carbohydrates. These carbs don’t exacerbate inflammation, so try to get your carbohydrate fix from beans, legumes, oats, barley and quinoa, and eat them along with protein to effectively treat your acne.
6. Make sure you get all your vitamins and minerals
We’ve touched on this with the fruits and vegetables sections, but vitamins and minerals are so vital to your skin health that it bears repeating. The essential vitamins for preventing acne are vitamins A, C, D and K, while your non-miss-able minerals include magnesium, potassium and zinc.
The reason why these nutrients are so important is that they have the properties you need to fight against harmful bacteria, exfoliate your skin of any dry and nasty bits, act on those persistent pimples and eliminate the inflammation on any skin rashes you might have. You’ll probably get all the vitamins and minerals you need if you eat a decent amount of fruit and veg – especially those listed above – but if not, talk to your doctor about deficiencies and the possibility of vitamin and mineral supplements.
7. Limit your consumption of dairy and processed foods
Milk products antagonize your affected skin, because they are high in saturates animal fats. This means that they promote the growth of bacteria, and so you’ll never protect your wellbeing against acne. Processed foods likewise promote the growth of acne and skin problems, as these contain skin-harming preservatives.

Look Young and Fresh With These Simple Home Remedies - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda, Ajit Patel Wellness
Pieces of fruit and vegetables don’t have a long list of ingredients printed on them like a tub of skin cream does – but this doesn’t affect how good natural compounds can be for your complexion.
The signs of ageing can include sagging, dull skin and deepening of lines around the face and mouth. You can brighten up tired complexions by harnessing natural wellness products without even stepping out of your house, as many of these nutrient-rich compounds may already be stocked in your home.
Milky Goodness
If you’re a fan of creamy curries then you could have some left over coconut milk in your pantry, instead of throwing it away put it on your skin for an instant glow. Animal milk can also lift complexions as the lactic acid helps rid your skin of dead cells, revealing newer skin underneath that glows with wellbeing, so dab it on regularly to benefit from nature’s exfoliator.
Clarifying
Skin isn’t as good at renewing itself as we get older, so getting rid of blemishes, age spots and pigments could be more difficult. Lemon juice is a bleaching agent that lightens skin and reduces the appearance of dark spots and freckles, drip small bits on to problem areas and leave on for 15 minutes, or rub areas with raw potato as the vegetable acts as a natural cleaner. To remove pimples, dab on a mixture of glycerine, rose water and lime juice before going to bed to dry oily patches.
Toxin Free
Nature has its very own way of dealing with anti-ageing toxins, and many of them are likely to be found in your home. Calcium D-glucarate is a toxin-fighting substance occurring in a variety of fruits and vegetables, including apples, oranges, cabbage, broccoli and grapefruit. Mash up individual portions and place on your skin or eat them up for a healthy boost.

Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Goldshield - Effective Home Remedies for Common Skin Problems
Not all skin problems require immediate medical attention. Some can even go away on their own, as long as you are in tiptop shape. Your body’s immune defense is enough to combat whatever invaders are causing the problem. But of course, since many skin ailments come with pain, rashes, and itchiness, it’s understandable that you’re going to want to do something about it.
For these common skin problems, here are some tried and tested home remedies that work like magic.
Dry Skin
One of the most common skin issues is dryness, which is caused by extreme weather changes, constant exposure to the sun’s UV rays, and pollution in the environment. All these factors can affect the skin’s moisture content. The moment the skin becomes dehydrated, its texture turns scaly, cracked and itchy. Here are some possible solutions to try:
Otherwise known as atopic dermatitis, eczema is a condition of red, inflamed and itchy skin. It’s common among kids but can also occur in adults. Sometimes, it is accompanied by hay fever or asthma. Sad to say, there’s no cure for eczema. Those with this chronic skin condition rely on home remedies for pain relief. Here are some of those:
Unlike eczema that affects the whole body, angular cheilitis only occurs in the corners of the mouth, causing redness, inflammation and sometimes even blisters and pus to appear in this area. It typically starts with chapped lips, and is caused by an overgrowth of bacteria, yeast or fungi. These home remedies have been proven effective in toning down the symptoms and even killing the microorganisms causing the problem.
A type of eczema that affects the scalp and face, seborrheic dermatitis is characterized by scaly flakes and skin redness. The scaly flakes on the scalp are often mistaken as dandruff. This condition, which is caused by a problem in the sebum glands, can be alleviated with these practical natural remedies:

- Baking soda – Combine one-half teaspoon baking soda with one-half cup of water. Spread mixture on the skin for 10 minutes. Wash it off with cool water.

Stop Using Your Wife’s Moisturiser! Expert Explains Why - Ajit Patel Uk, Ajit Patel Sanda
For men, anti-ageing wellness can be a little embarrassing. You have just as much need to take care of your wellbeing as your female counterpart, but there still seems to be some sort of misplaced stigma about men who look after their appearance and body. This is why many men just use the products their wives or girlfriends buy, but Shonagh Walker, award-winning wellness journalist and author of Cellulite My Arse!, argues that this is a major wellness mistake. So why is it a bad idea to use your partner’s skincare products?
1. You have thicker skin
‘A guy’s complexion is a little more rough and ready than a woman’s,’ Walker explains. ‘As such, you need your products to pack a little bit more punch, while still addressing your specific skin care needs. As such, you want to buy formulas that are specifically created for men.’ It’s not just the thickness of your skin that makes you different to your wife or girlfriend; the hormones going on beneath the skin’s surface also means you need a different approach to skincare: ‘You…have more testosterone than the girls, which is sometimes linked to oiliness and blemishes,’ says Walker. ‘So, you might want to find a mattifying product or oil control product and add it to your skin care regime.’
2. You’re a big, hairy man
Walker points out, ‘You have growth that comes out of your face every day and it can cause all kinds of skin issues. Firstly, you are prone to shaving rash, so you need products that have built in calming properties into the formula. Secondly, as you’re shaving the hair daily, or at least a few times each week, you might become prone to ingrown hairs, which can not only be unsightly, but they can also be quite painful.’ She advises, ‘Look for a quality exfoliating product in your chosen skin care regime, or at least a cleanser that has glycolic acid in its formula to help keep the hair follicle unclogged and allow for the hair to grow through freely.’
3. You’re more sweaty
It’s just a fact that men sweat more than women, as is the unfortunate truth that your skin is exposed to bacteria, pollution and oil. According to Walker, if these three toxins ‘are allowed to stay put on your skin, they can get all blended up with your sweat, clog your pores and lead to blackheads and acne. You need quality cleansers designed to counteract this and as mentioned above, a really great exfoliating product.’
4. You age more slowly
Ok, the first three points didn’t perhaps paint male skin in the best light, but the good news is that you age more slowly than your female partner – you lucky thing. As a man, ‘your skin tends to stay strong, firm and unwrinkled for longer than women’s,’ Walker notes. ‘As such, you really don’t deserve to be helping yourself to our super expensive anti-ageing formulas.’ In fact, Walker asserts that you can probably get by with a cheaper, effective formula and a really great sun block – what a win!
5. You don’t wear make-up
Again, this is one area of skincare and beauty where men win out. Not having to wear make-up means you won’t need as many ingredients that work to counter the effects of make-up. You also don’t have to go through the entire rigmarole that women do with twice daily cleansing. However, Walker adds that you still need to cleanse every day, so you can’t get away with it that easily.

Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Goldshield - Smile Brighter: The Best Ways to Achieve a Glowing Grin
Everyone wants a white smile. Unfortunately, our teeth naturally lose their brilliance as they age. While you can’t completely prevent the ravages of time, there are a few simple steps you can take to keep your smile as bright as possible.
Eat Right
The foods you regularly eat have a direct effect on your smile’s brightness. To keep it whiter longer, limit liquids and foods that stain, such as tea, coffee and berries. Instead, stick to crunchy vegetable, like carrots and cauliflower, as these trigger saliva production and enamel protection. Crunchy veggies are also hard enough to help scrape away any damaging bacteria hanging around on the teeth as they are chewed.
Brush and Floss Daily
People underestimate just how important good daily hygiene habits are. Currently, dentists recommend brushing twice per day and flossing once per day in order to clean out the gunk that would otherwise stain those pearly whites. It’s a perfect combination where one helps wipe down the exterior while the other goes in for that deep clean.
Whitening
At home, this usually means a daily regimen of strips, gels, mouthwash and toothpaste. The downside is that they cannot match the results of professional whitening. Should you opt for this route, your dentist will know exactly what to do. Patients are then usually told to purchase an approved kit to maintain the shiny new color. A good resource for tips on maintaining the best smile possible can come from your dentist.
Illusions
Another way to bring out the bright is to darken the areas around the teeth. Tan skin helps increase smile brightness without the need for any kind of whitening agent. Women who use red lipstick with blue undertones can also achieve the same effect.
Straightening
Even if your teeth are white and free of food, a crooked smile can detract from its natural beauty. Should you have a misalignment or something similar, talk to your dentist about teeth straightening options. If it’s slight, there’s a chance you can skip braces in favor of a less invasive procedure. If not, braces are well worth the investment.
Keeping a bright smile is something anyone can do so long as they take the correct steps to ensure a healthy smile. From purposeful bleaching to simple oral hygiene, each aspect makes the smile brighter in its own way. Put them altogether and you’ll end up with a smile fit for Hollywood.

4 Great Ways to Save Money on Your Eye Care - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel SAnda
While the effort may be noble, it takes a lot more than consuming a bunch of carrots to make sure your eyes keep up their perfect 20/20 vision. It is increasingly important to seek professionals when dealing with the health issues and monitoring of the eye. Unfortunately, many people avoid visiting the optometrist or forego purchasing the new pair of glasses due to a lack of insurance and fear of high costs. Thankfully, there are a few great ways to save money on your eye care. Consider implementing these four tactics.
1. When in Doubt, Go Generic
Just like generic toilet paper is normally cheaper than the brand name version, the same goes for eye medications and solutions. For those who wear contacts, instead of reaching for the brand name version, save money and get the generic brand. Most times, the generic brand is just as good as the brand name version. The only difference is that the generic brand comes at a fraction of the cost.
2. Search for an Inexpensive Optometrist
A regular eye exam is a lot cheaper than most people think. On the high-end, an eye exam might run $100, but most commonly, it is possible to afford a great eye exam around $50 -$60 out of pocket. This normally includes a thorough eye exam. In the cases where a prescription is needed, this comes with the eye exam. Don’t be afraid to shop around for the best price that fits the budget.
3. Purchase Frames Online
After visiting the optometrist, there’s usually a large room filled with lots of light and attractive, fashionable frames. If the goal is to save money, don’t purchase any of the glasses under the glowing lights. Pay for the appointment and make a beeline for the door. Pull out the laptop and find tons of discounted eyewear at online shops like Marvel Optics. In most cases, the cost of one pair is usually a fourth of what most people pay in the store. There are plenty of people who brag about their beautiful frames they’ve purchased for a mere eight bucks on a few discounted shops.
4. Pay with an HSA or FSA
For those who are employed by a company, find out if the employer provides either of these options. An HSA (health savings account) or an FSA (flexible savings account) are beneficial because the employee is able to use pre-tax dollars to purchase necessary items like glasses, contacts, services, etc. with the money stored in these accounts.
These are four simple options to consider in an effort to save money on eye care. Eye care doesn’t have to cost an arm and a leg, especially when multiple family members need eyeglasses and prescriptions. Do a little research and save a ton of money in the long run!

Five Skincare Mistakes to Avoid for a Flawless Complexion - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Goldshield
Every now and then, you may become enthused to start-up a skin care routine to boost your anti-ageing wellness, but sticking to it isn’t easy. There’s always another “miracle” product or device that promises to take years off you, but according to dermatologist Dr. Amy Wechsler, a flawless complexion comes from good skin habits, rather than slathering expensive creams on your face. So what are the five most common skin care mistakes?
1. Tanning
Dr Wechsler explains, ‘The cosmetic hook is what gets younger people. The skin cancer hook is like, “Oh, you know what. There will be a cure for that.” It’s natural as an adolescent to feel invincible from those things, but if you don’t wear sunscreen and you’re in the sun a lot or going to the tanning both, you will look ten years older than your peers who are doing all this stuff.’
2. Not getting enough sleep
Dr Wechsler notes that sleep is important for skin, as otherwise your skin can become dull, dry and more wrinkled. ‘It’s really important to get seven-and-a-half to eight hours of sleep every night. That’s when our skin heals and restores itself.”
3. Forgetting to remove make-up
‘Sleeping with a face full of make up is really bad,’ Dr Wechsler says. ‘It can irritate your skin and clog your pores, so it’s really important to wash your face before bed. Follow that with a good moisturiser.’ If your skin is well-moisturised, it will appear less dry and wrinkly.
4. Over exfoliation
When you exfoliate, you remove the dead cells from your skin. However, according to Dr Wechsler, ‘A lot of women are doing it in too rough of a way. It should never hurt or sting or burn. If you overly exfoliate, you’ll irritate your skin and you can also break out more.’
5. Skipping sun cream
While you may cover yourself with sun cream during the summer, Dr Wechsler advises that you should put on sun cream every day. Depending on your skin tone and the season, you need to put factor 20-30 on after washing your face in the morning.

Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Welllness - What Make Up Can Make You Look Younger?
There is one type of make-up that almost all women begin to crave when they start getting wrinkles and age lines – that’s any make-up that makes you look younger. But of course there is so much make-up out there, all purporting to have the effect of giving you dazzling young skin, who can you really trust. Here’s a list of make-up that’s worth buying to keep you looking young.
Anti-ageing eye shadow
One must-have is Elizabeth Arden’s Beautiful Colour Eye Shadow which can reduce the signs of ageing around your eyes while also protecting skin from future damage. The eyes are one of the real give away, as lines start to form here very early. Buying a good anti-ageing eye shadow will do wonders for your look.
Lash-building mascara
Most mascara makes the appearance of building up your eyelashes by using gunky formulas to make it look like there is more volume. This is a bad way to go. Instead, you can use Shavata’s Extreme Volumising Mascara which gives great definition and colour naturally.
Skin-smoothing bronzer
The choice of the right bronzer is absolutely key. Bronzer can leave your skin dry thanks to its powdery base, so look for one that moisturises your skin such as Cargo Hydra Bronze. A hydrating bronzer leaves skin looking smooth and supple.
Moisturising base
Transparent foundation Glamour Shot, which comes from French brand Sampar, is an absolute life-saver in this department. It not only improves the look of skin but also smoothes out wrinkles as well. It contains oat extract and works by using lifting hyaluronic acid for moisturising, horse chestnut extract to tighten the pores and anti-inflammatories from oats to reduce redness.

Is Cosmetic Surgery Safe? A Quick Look at Popular Procedures - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda
Millions of cosmetic surgeries take place every single year with wonderful results, but many patients are still worried about the safety of these treatments. There will always be some risk when performing a surgery, but these cosmetic procedures are safer than ever with an exceptionally high rate of success. Here is a closer look at some of the most common cosmetic treatments and how they help patients look and feel their best.
Liposuction
Around 14.6 million plastic surgeries take place every single year, and over 200,000 of these surgeries are liposuction treatments. This is an invasive cosmetic procedure and it involves the use of a small rod to suck out pockets of fat. Some cosmetic surgeons now utilize lasers to melt the fat away as it is being pulled out in order to reduce swelling and bruising. The recovery time for this treatment is around two weeks.
Botox Injections
Botox is the most common minimally-invasive procedure with over six million treatments taking place every single year. This injectable actually uses a safe toxin that allows facial muscles to relax. Botox is most often used to soften fine lines and wrinkles around the eyes and forehead, but it can also be used to treat chronic migraines and excessive sweating. For the average patient, the results of Botox will last for around six months.
Breast Augmentation
Breast augmentations are another popular treatment that will help patients increase the size of their breasts, change the position of their breasts, or balance their left and right breasts. This procedure often involves the movement of soft tissue, but some patients do opt for breast implants as well. The recovery for this procedure can take anywhere from just a few days to a month or longer depending on how much the soft tissue is manipulated.
Tummy Tuck
No matter how often an individual exercises, it often feels impossible to get rid of the small bulge at the bottom of one’s midsection. This is why millions of patients have turned to tummy tucks in order to reshape and tighten their midsection just above their waist. Much like breast lifts, tummy tucks are primarily used to reposition the skin. This procedure can be combined with liposuction for more dramatic results, but the recovery time will increase accordingly.
These few treatments are only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to removing excess fat, softening wrinkles, tightening skin, and looking years younger.

Can Simple Brain Boosting Techniques Train Your Brain? - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellness
Let us all face the truth, the older we all get, the more our brain also starts to age. When we talk about our brains aging that means forgetting things and / or people and a decrease in mental performance. It is not anybody’s fault but sometimes there are certain factors in our lives that create poor mental performance or a decrease in memory.
A strong memory and good mental performance depends on our overall health and also the vitality of our brains. Since people age and sometimes do not get the chance to relax and challenge their brain to new information, the brain starts to get rusty in its performance. If you are concerned about this problem, well you do not have to worry anymore since there are brain boosting techniques to help train your brain.
Help train the power of your brain
Just like athletes training for their sporting events or games, our brains could also be trained to improve its performance. Scientists have discovered that the human brain has the amazing ability to adapt to change and has the power to learn new “tricks” when it is trained correctly. When the brain undergoes the right stimulation it could form new neural passageways. It is actually possible to enhance the ability and capacity of the brain to learn new things and also improve memory.
Get enough exercise and sleep
To maintain an overall healthy lifestyle getting enough exercise and sleep is vital. If you did not know, physical exercise could actually increase oxygen to your brain which can reduce certain disorders that could lead to memory loss. Exercise could also help balance brain chemicals and give protection to people’s brain cells which is important for its overall performance. Try to get in at least 3 to 5 days of exercises a week to help your brain function properly. Like exercise, sleep is important for brain function. Sleep is important for enhanced memory and learning. There have been studies that show that sleep is necessary for memory strengthening. Get at least 8 hours of sleep daily for the best brain performance.
Relax and have fun!
Make sure to spend time with friends and family and have some fun! Being too serious all the time could cause damage to brain cells which could possibly harm your brain. Spending time with loved ones and having fun could help cognitively.
Let go of stress
Stress could be a trigger and factor for some medical conditions including declining brain performance. When you are stressed, you start to over-think things and your brain could sometimes just stop functioning properly. That is the reason why some people’s brains shut down. Do yourself a favor and do some stress relieving techniques. Here are a few tips you can try out:
Eat healthy
Besides staying in shape, eating healthy could also help improve the brain’s performance. Try to focus on eating foods such as the following:

Know Your Sun Risk - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wemet
We all know that it’s important to wear sun protection when sunbathing abroad to protect against theharmful effects of the sun’s ultraviolet (UV) rays. But when at home, particularly in cooler climates, it’s easy to forget that our skin may still need protection.
If you are fair-skinned or spend large parts of your day outside, it is particularly important to protect your skin against sun damage – even in the UK. Some people are more at risk than others and so it’s important to know your sun risk.
Outdoor workers
If you have a job that means you work predominantly outdoors such as a gardener or labourer; you will be exposed to the sun for a large part of the day – including the times when the sun’s rays are at their most powerful. Protect yourself by wearing sunscreen at work and cover up with a t-shirt and hat. Remember that even when there is cloud or a cool breeze, the sun’s rays can still burn. The best sunscreens are those with a sun protection factor (SPF) of at least 15.
Fair skin
The harmful effects of the sun vary depending on your skin type and people with fair skin are known to be most at risk from sunburn. If you have fair skin, it may be worth using a sun protector all year round. If you don’t want to put thick sun creams on your face, there is a wide range of moisturisers available containing sun protector. These will not only protect against UV rays but will also help safeguard against dry skin and wrinkles caused by the sun.
Children
Young people are particularly susceptible to sunburn as their skin is more delicate. They may also spend a lot of time playing outside and probably won’t recognise the telltale signs that their skin is starting to burn until it is too late. Ensure children wear a sunscreen especially designed for children and teach them to cover their skin and wear a hat in hot weather.
Treating sunburn
If you’ve spent too long in the sun and have developed sunburn, the effects can range from a mild tingle to a very painful hot sensation. Unfortunately, once the skin has burnt, the long-term damage has already occurred. However, there are steps you can take to reduce the discomfort and try prevent the skin from peeling. For mild sunburn, there is a range of after-sun products which will help cool the skin and keep it moisturised. Calamine lotion is also a good treatment. If the sunburn is more severe, has blistered, or is on a child, then you should seek medical advice.
Treatment for sunburn aims to cool the skin and relieve any pain. Applying a cold flannel over the area will help cool the skin, while moisturising lotions and creams will help keep it moist.
Sunburn can sometimes be accompanied by sunstroke which is a serious condition where the body’s core temperature rises to a dangerous level and can cause nausea, vomiting, fainting and in severe cases unconsciousness or even death. If you suspect someone is suffering from sunstroke, you should seek medical advice straightaway.

Kitchen Remedies That You Can Use To Reduce Acne Scars - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda
Acne is definitely damaging for every single person out there but everything is even worse after the outbreaks disappear due to the appearance of acne scars. You need to seek out professional acne treatment professionals to take care of the outbreak and then, the road to recover is just at the start since scars need to be dealt with. While drugs and procedures exist, before you opt for the more expensive solutions, seriously consider the following kitchen remedies.
Lemon Juice
Lemon juice helps out a lot in reducing redness and lightening your skin. Just squeeze the juice that comes from a lemon and then apply it to the acne scar with a cotton ball or a clean finger. Make sure that you leave the juice on the affected area for around ten minutes and then you wash it off. This is a treatment that should be done daily for a few weeks in order to get results. The skin becomes sensitive to the sun though so make sure that you apply sunscreen whenever venturing outside.
Honey
This is an agent that is highly useful in removing acne scars. You can use honey in many different ways. For starters, applying honey to scars and then leaving it overnight is what has to be done. Another option is to mix 2 honey tablespoons with half a cup of oatmeal. The mixture can be applied to scars for around 20 minutes. Then, wash it off. Alternatively, opt for half a teaspoon of cinnamon with one honey tablespoon. Application is similar to all other mixtures you would use.
Baking Soda
Most homes have baking soda and people rarely think about the fact that it can help deal with acne scars. What you have to do is mix water and baking soda in order to create paste. That paste should be applied to the affected areas and then washed away after some minutes with the use of warm water. We recommend applying a moisturizer after that. Apply the paste to the scars around 3 times weekly and results will appear.
Essential Oils
Acne scars have been removed for quite a long time with the use of essential oils. That is especially the case when referring to lavender oils and chamomile oils. These two have strong skin healing properties allowing the body to deal with scars alone. Drops can be applied on scars or simply rubbed down. Improvements should appear after some weeks with regular application.
Vitamin E
The application of Vitamin E on the acne scar has been shown to bring in positive results. This can be used as a topical cream, allowing faster fading. Alternatively, take a Vitamin E capsule, pierce it and then squash contents on the acne scar. This can help keep the skin healthy and allow it to heal faster.
In the event that you tried the kitchen remedies mentioned above and you still have problems as the scars are still there, you will want to seriously consider going to a dermatologist. You may need more invasive solutions or you may have to resort to some other forms of treatment.

Natural Ways to Keep Your Skin Healthy and Beautiful in Winter - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellness
Does it ever seem like winter is as hard on your skin as it is on your ability to stay warm? Unfortunately, the combination of cold temperatures, wind and low humidity wreaks havoc on skin. You inevitably wind up with sore, cracked and elbows and an itchy scalp, and the only part of your face with any moisture left is your runny nose. Fortunately, there are a few natural ways you can protect your skin and your looks this winter.
Drink More Water
The chilly winter air does more than just dry out your skin. It dries the rest of you, too. As you’re exposed to the air, the water supply in your body is steadily being evaporated through your skin and respiratory system. However, you’re no better off staying indoors. Warm, dry air produced by heating systems will cause you to lose water even more quickly. If you fail to replace this lost moisture, you become dehydrated and your skin is unable to replenish itself. During the winter, be sure to consume plenty of water throughout the day. If you spend a lot of time outdoors or in a well-heated environment, you may need to drink more than the recommended eight glasses.
Use a Natural Moisturizer
It’s common to use a moisturizer to protect those dry patches in the winter. Unfortunately, it often seems like the benefits are minimal, and sometimes they appear to make dry, flaky skin worse. This is largely due to the alcohol and fragrances used in these products. Alcohol is a harsh chemical that can cause further drying by stripping away skin’s natural oils. Meanwhile, artificial fragrances can cause irritation and provoke skin allergies, leading to increased redness and itching. Instead of using chemical products, try something natural. An essential oil expert who works for a bulk herbs supplier recommends using Lavender Oil to moisturize hands. This, she says, can be combined with skin-friendly jojoba oil to promote both healing and hydration of the skin.
Get Some Sunshine
The vitamin in sunshine, that is. Because the sun is further away from the Earth in winter, and because daylight hours are shorter, we don’t get as much UV exposure. While too much can be harmful, our bodies rely on UV rays to help us produce vitamin D. Research has found that the skin utilizes vitamin D for producing new, healthy cells. When levels of the nutrient were low, the skin became thinner, more vulnerable to damage and less able to heal. Consider taking a quality vitamin D supplement or adding more fish to your diet to boost your levels and protect your skin.
Taking care of your skin in the winter can feel like a losing battle. However, it’s often a simple matter of replacing the things your skin loses more of when it’s cold out. This winter, try some of these easy tips and see what a difference it makes for your skin.

Herbal Teas That Could Benefit Your Skin - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel wellbeing
Herbal tea has long been associated with a healthy diet, thanks to the lack of sugar and the belief that herbal remedies are good for us. With winter fast approaching, we’re suddenly looking for ways to overcome the drying indoor heating and lack of exercise (and the associated lack of water intake) that makes us dehydrated. It’s worth the effort to stay hydrated though, as your body needs water far more than you realise.
Not only does drinking enough keep your skin plump and healthy, it also helps your body to fight illnesses and viruses which are prevalent in the winter months. This is because dry mucus membranes make it far easier for germs to get into the body, lowering your defence mechanisms. However, while it’s very easy to say you’ll drink water more during the winter, when it’s cold you don’t want to swig down a glass of ice cold water. Herbal teas are a great way to overcome this problem, as they offer flavour, warmth and plenty of hydration. It’s also been suggested that many herbs can help to improve the condition of your skin.
Teas with burdock and yellow dock root could help to alleviate dry skin and psoriasis, as well as dandelion root being great for cleansing your liver. Those with rose petal and hibiscus are a natural source of vitamin C which is known to boost the health of your skin, and you can add orange peel to boost both the vitamin C levels and the flavour of the tea.

Not only does drinking enough keep your skin plump and healthy, it also helps your body to fight illnesses and viruses which are prevalent in the winter months. This is because dry mucus membranes make it far easier for germs to get into the body, lowering your defence mechanisms. However, while it’s very easy to say you’ll drink water more during the winter, when it’s cold you don’t want to swig down a glass of ice cold water. Herbal teas are a great way to overcome this problem, as they offer flavour, warmth and plenty of hydration. It’s also been suggested that many herbs can help to improve the condition of your skin.
Teas with burdock and yellow dock root could help to alleviate dry skin and psoriasis, as well as dandelion root being great for cleansing your liver. Those with rose petal and hibiscus are a natural source of vitamin C which is known to boost the health of your skin, and you can add orange peel to boost both the vitamin C levels and the flavour of the tea. Rooibus tea has increased in popularity in recent years and is a known antioxidant from the African bush.

How to Stay Healthy With These Skin-Loving Superfoods - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Goldshield
Naturally, expensive creams and serums can do wonders for your skin’s health. However, you shouldn’t forget the power of your diet – there are a number of superfoods that offer incredibly powerful nutrients. Your diet is the foundation of your skin’s health, so this is where you should put in the effort. Simply eating well, drinking plenty of water and getting plenty of exercise can really improve your skin and help you to fight those wrinkles for a little longer.
Fighting wrinkles
Laughing, pollution and bad lifestyle habits can all increase the risk of wrinkles. Soy can be a great way to fight them though. Research suggests that oestrogen-like chemicals known as isoflavones can keep the skin supple, and soy is a rich source of them. After just 12 weeks, women who had taken a 40mg supplement of isoflavone aglycone can keep crow’s feet at bay, by keeping the skin more supple. You can use soy in a number of ways, from adding it to stir fries to eating edamame beans. Aim for one or two servings every day.
Healthy glow
Sunbathing and relying on self tanners to achieve a healthy glow will become a thing of the past with the addition of vegetables containing carotenoids. They give plants their distinctive red, yellow and orange colours, which can be a great indicator as to the effect they will have on your diet. Add more peppers, carrots and pumpkins to your diet to really get the effects from them. You can also add in apricots, sweet potatoes, broccoli and leafy green vegetables to get the same effect.
Reduce puffy eyes
Puffy eyes are never flattering and if you have noticed that yours are getting bigger, you may want to reduce the amount of salt in your diet. There is also an association between a bloated belly and salt, not just the swelling in your face. Aim for foods which have a daily dose of potassium in them, such as sweet potatoes, avocados and bananas, as well as cooked lentils. Try to get this from your diet only though, not through supplements.
Whiter Teeth
Keeping your teeth healthy and white can knock years off your real age, as really makes a difference to your appearance. Highly acidic foods such as fizzy drinks, sugary snacks, citrus foods and coffee can all stain your teeth and make them vulnerable to damage. Eating a piece of cheese after such indulgences can keep your teeth untarnished, as it will help to neutralise the acids that can damage your teeth. Cheese is high in fat, so you should just treat yourself to a dice-sized piece after your meal – just four of these add up to around half an ounce. If you don’t have any cheese available, you can wash your mouth around with a swig of water instead for the same effect minus the calories.
Age spots
Age spots or brown spots are irksome and arrive with age and sun damage. Your first preventative measure should be sunscreen and avoiding sitting out in the sun for hours on end, but your diet can help here too. You need to look for foods which contain lycopene, as this protects the skin from the inside out and improves your natural SPF. Tomatoes are a great source of this, as are pink grapefruits and watermelon. Green tea can also help here, so try having a cup a day to really get the benefits. Naturally, you shouldn’t replace sunscreen with just these foods, but combined they can do wonders for keeping your skin in good health.

Could Stress be Causing Your Skin to Age Faster? - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wemet
How your skin looks and how healthy it is is directly connected to your stress levels. According to experts, research has proven that the stress hormone cortisol is responsible for breaking down collagen and causing inflammation when you’re stressed, meaning that you could be in lined for flare ups of adult acne, rosacea and psoriasis. And, of course, you’ll also be more at risk of premature lines and wrinkles. It isn’t just a coincidence that when you’re stressed you’re more prone to breakouts. Dermatologists regularly see patients who experience stress-related spots, wrinkles and rashes – it can even aggravate infectious diseases such as herpes and shingles. If you suffer from hives or eczema, this can also be made worse in times of extreme stress. The vicious cycle of itching and rubbing, which then makes the condition worse, can get particularly bad during this time, leading to the skin thickening which perpetuates the problem. Conditions which are made worse by stress range from acne which is picked and made worse by a nervous patients to more severe problems, such as prurigo nodularis – this is an intractable condition which involves a relentless itch and chronic picking or itching of the skin. The more stressed you are, the worse you make the problem, in turn making you more stressed – the cycle is perpetual.
The relationship between the feeling of itching and the reflex to scratch at it is obvious – mention lice or scabies to someone and they immediately feel the need to scratch at their skin. However, researchers are still unsure why and how stress can cause itching. There are obviously genetic factors which influence how prone we are to stress-related skin disorders, as our hormones play a big role, but the impact of stress determines far more than was once thought. Stress is more likely to increase the levels of natural chemicals in the skin and blood vessels, which could increase the redness and blood flow in that area. This leads to common problems such as rosacea. Stress has also been proven to affect the immune system, which can often make people more susceptible to infectious diseases.
Finding ways to manage your stress levels is the best way to calm your skin and reduce the levels of cortisol in the body. Stress not only takes its toll on your skin but also your mind and other areas of your body, such as your heart. Try to find the source of your stress – this will often determine how you deal with it. For example, if your stress is being caused by your job then you know that something here needs to change, be it your hours or the job itself. Talk to friends and family and seek their support – they may be able to calm you down and help you to see the bigger picture. Relaxing activities such as yoga or Pilates may help, and will also be good for your body overall. Or simply taking some time out of an evening to relax with a warm bath or reading a book may be all you need to lower your stress levels. Try to maintain healthy skin habits as well, such as an effective cleanse, tone and moisturising routine to keep your skin clear and glowing. If you’re worried about your skin, or it doesn’t seem to be improving with your lifestyle changes, try speaking to a dermatologist who may be able to help you get to the root of the problem.

6 Key Things to Do To Enhance Your Beauty - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda
Are you like most people looking for those simple things you can do to enhance your beauty? Many women who have entered the world of cosmetics, hair products, gadgets and or medical procedures including surgeries to enhance beauty, have found that it can be quite an expensive activity.
It always helps to do your homework first. Here are 7 simple, but key, things that you can do to enhance your beauty.
1. Exfoliate and clean up your skin
The skin is constantly regenerating itself. Cleaning up your skin and exfoliating will definitely help your face look healthy and feel beautiful. Exfoliating is necessary because as your body generates new skin, old skin/dead skin remains at the surface if not removed.
When you apply cosmetic products on your face without exfoliating, it’s easy to imagine why that will be quite a waste because you will basically be applying these products on dead skin.
2. Facial firming
Facial firming includes everything that you can do to help keep your facial skin looking and feeling youthful. You could use exercise and/or yoga, healthy diet, drinking enough water and exercise. You could also use cosmetic products.
3. Good Makeup
When most women think of enhancing beauty, makeup is usually the first thought that comes to mind. There are many articles that you can read online about makeup. These will tell you most of what you need to know about the different types of make-up, how to apply them, when to apply them and so on.
As you do your research, focus on products and information that shows you how you can apply makeup without clogging your pores, but instead allows your skin to breath. Look for mineral makeup that is gentle on your skin.
4. Healthy hair and hair removal
Having healthy hair in the right places and no hair where it shouldn’t be, will allow you to feel more comfortable and beautiful. Some of the key things to consider here include;
Exercise will increase blood flow through your whole body while releasing hormones that are good for your health. Sex has been proven to greatly enhance feelings of beauty not only emotionally but also physically.
After all the activities and stresses of living, it is then important to rest enough. This will help bring your stress levels down and it will show in your body. You will look beautiful.
6. Eat healthy
Healthy living including eating adequate amounts of protein, vegetables and fruit can enhance your beauty. For example, Keratin, which is a type of protein, is very important for healthy hair and nails. Eating foods that contain keratin will ensure that your hair and nails grow healthy and beautiful naturally.
While you are at it, reduce the toxins in your body. Quitting smoking and reducing alcohol intake are two immediate things that you can do.

Six Small Beauty Tips That Improve Your Health - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellness
There are several things that you can do at home to bring out your natural beauty. Below are some tips that will improve your health and beauty:
Protect Your Skin
You should make sure that you wear sunscreen if you will be outside for more than a few minutes. The ultraviolet rays not only damage your skin, but they can also increase the risk of skin cancer. You still need sunscreen during the winter months. Additionally, the cold air can cause dry skin, so you will need to moisturize your skin every day.
Exercise
Exercising improves circulation, which can give your skin a natural glow. It can also help fight depression, improve sleep quality and decrease your chances of developing numerous health problems. Furthermore, exercise helps fight cellulite, which is a problem that affects over 90 percent of women. Keep in mind that you can get cellulite even if you are thin. Try to get a half hour of exercise in your routine every day.
Drink Lots of Water
Water helps naturally detoxify your body. It also helps increase the elasticity of your skin. You should drink a minimum of eight cups of water per day. However, if you will be working outside in the heat, then you may need to drink eight cups of water per day.
Eat Lots of Fruits and Vegetables
Fruits and vegetables are the best types of foods that you can eat. They are very low in calories. Fruits and vegetables also have antioxidants that not only fight disease but also help keep your skin healthy.
Sleep
People often talk about getting their beauty sleep. Sleep really does make you more beautiful. Your body produces growth hormone while you are sleeping. This hormone keeps your skin looking vibrant. On the other hand, a lack of sleep can cause you to develop bags underneath your eyes. Chronic sleep deprivation has also been linked to high blood pressure, obesity and early death. That is why it is important to sleep seven to eight hours per night.
Eat a Nutritious Breakfast
You should eat a breakfast that is high in healthy fats, protein and whole grains. A nutritious breakfast gives you the energy needed to perform your daily activities. A well-balanced will also supply you with the nutritious needed to give your skin a glow.
Go to the Dentist
Most people don’t go to the dentist as often as they should. The dentist can help improve your smile through routine dental work, teeth whitening and dental implants. Rotten teeth don’t only look bad, they can also do serious damage. “Not only do you experience a loss of confidence when you start losing teeth, but you can begin to lose bone as well,” explains Sierra Dental in Calgary.“That means your face, jaw, and ultimately your health are at risk.” When you lose a tooth your jaw shrinks and causes facial deformities. It is better to see your dentist often and make sure your mouth is healthy.
Many of the things that you do to improve your beauty can also improve your health. You can improve your health and beauty by eating breakfast, exercising, getting plenty of sleep, drinking lots of water and eating plenty of fruits and vegetables. You should also protect your skin.

Look Younger and Fresher with Our Top Make-Up Tips and Picks - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellbeing
No matter what you do to enhance your anti-ageing wellness, no one is going to notice if you get your make-up wrong. Much in the same way that you don’t carry around your prized possessions in a bin bag, your packaging needs to reflect the gorgeousness that’s going on underneath. After all, you’re making all that effort to take care of your wellbeing, why let bad foundation get in the way? The colours and formulas you put on your face have an immediate impact on how fresh you look. However, according to Sandy Linter, a New York City celebrity makeup artist for Lancôme, ‘With the right products and application tricks, you’ll appear younger.’
1. Diffuse fine lines
If you’re already slathering on the moisturiser, you might think you have no need for primer, but you’d be wrong. Linter explains, ‘Primers, unlike moisturizers, have smoothing silicones that fill in and soften lines, so your skin naturally reflects light and glows,’ and primers also help your foundation to glide on more evenly, which is especially crucial if you have dry skin. You get double points for using a primer with collagen-boosting amino peptides, such as CoverGirl & Olay Simply Ageless serum primer.
2. Even out your skin
If you have the odd blemish or unsightly area – such as a sun spot, dark circles or red patch – you may be tempted to fix these problems with concealer, before you move on to your foundation. However, Linter recommends that you ‘reach for foundation first. Then go in with concealer and target what needs more coverage.’ Make sure your foundaton is formulated for ageing skin and is packed with hydrating properties – Korres Quercetin & Oak Anti-ageing foundation is a good choice. Linter continues, ‘Once your skin is evened out, you’ll be surprised at how much less cover-up you need to use.’ Pat a non-too-liquidy concealer (such as Maybelline New York Instant Age Rewind Eraser Dark Spot Concealer + Treatment) right where you need it, but don’t rub it in – you don’t want to cake in your fine lines.
3. Think pink
When it comes to your lips, you need a lipstick that contains hydrating ingredients like shea butter and glycerin. New York dermatologist Francesca Fusco, MD, notes that this is because ‘Skin on lips is thin and lacks oil glands, making lines more noticeable.’ For the best colour, Linter argues that a soft but punchy pink ‘flatters all skin tones.’ If you go for Chanel Rouge Coco Shine sheer lipshine in Romance, you get the added bonus of moisturising ceramides.
4. Ol’ Blue Eyes
Black eyeliner is a staple in most women’s make-up bags, but an eye-brightening teal can take years off. Brian Duprey, a makeup artist in New York City, argues, ‘Vivid shades give just a hint of colour, not an obvious line,’ and Youngblood Incredible Wear gel liner in Lagoon contains vitamin E to condition lashes.
5. Pretty in plum
For your eyelids, you don’t have to stick to boring beiges and browns – why not try a nice plum colour? Duprey advises, ‘If you want to go beyond neutrals on your eyes, try a shade of purple. It’s hands down the most wearable color for all skin tones.’ Neutrogena Crease Proof eye shadow in Stay-Put Plum is worth a go.
6. Go nude, but sparkle
Fusco points out that ‘Dark circles can cast a shadow over your entire eye area,’ which is why you need a light-reflective under eye concealer, such as the one from Temptu.
7. Rosy cheeks
A creamy blusher in enlivening shades of pink can help you to hang on to that fresh glow. Try L’Oréal Paris Visible Lift Colour Lift blush in Rose Gold.

Read and Write Your Way to a Healthier Brain - Ajit Patel Goldshield, Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel SandaWellness
Reading and writing as you get older could have a direct effect on the structures in your brain, which may explain why some people stay just as sharp in their 80s as they were in their younger years.
There have been quite a few studies that show older people, who like to challenge their minds, seem to stay younger. Results indicate that playing draughts, chess and doing puzzles could enhance wellness by protecting your brain from the signs of ageing.
Get Puzzled
Researchers from Rush University and Illinois Institute highlight results from past studies that link mental sharpness with these kinds of cognitive activities, but they also explain how their research is different. Axons in the brain are responsible for sending messages that are then generated throughout your whole body. Examining water in these axons gives an idea how effectively they are working, so higher values mean that they are functioning better. Experts from the institute used an MRI machine on lots of older individuals to measure the water values, which they compared with how active the participants were in terms of cognitive pastimes.
The Results
The study was unlike any other because the scientists found a link between structures of the brain and cognitive hobbies. Keeping up certain pastimes as the participants aged – which could also include writing letters and reading newspapers – seemed to have an anti-ageing effect on the water values as they remained higher. The researchers said that these kinds of activities can lead to a healthier brain, so if you want to improve your wellbeing and keep your mind young making time for puzzles, crosswords and mental challenges in general could be the ideal solution.

Natural Anti Ageing Therapy Tips for a Younger Looking You - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda, Ajit Patel Wemet
There is just no stopping the aging process. You may be in your late twenties or early thirties now but you may already notice that you don’t look as youthful as you were say, five or ten years ago. Sooner or later, you’ll be in your forties and fifties and you’ll be wondering what has happened to your skin. While you may not be able to stop aging, you may still be able to slow it down. All you need is to learn more about anti aging therapy.
While some people may look towards expensive surgical procedures to avoid looking their age, there are natural methods where you don’t have to break your bank account to look young. And like all natural remedies and treatments, the results don’t happen overnight. But when made a habit and followed religiously, natural anti aging therapy can be very effective and will not only make you look younger, but make you feel younger as well.Here are some natural anti aging therapy tips that you can follow to care for your skin, mind, and your overall wellness:
• Avoid unhealthy habits such as smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. Chemicals found in cigarettes are known to speed up the aging process and counter any anti aging treatments that you may undergo. This goes the same with the toxins introduced by alcohol. If you constantly consume alcohol, your liver will not be able to cope up with the cleansing process harming your whole system.
• Keep your body well hydrated. We all know this too well. Experts recommend that we have at least eight glasses of water each day. As our body is largely composed of water, being dehydrated will prevent us from getting the nutrients we need. Plus, water flushes out the toxins inside our body. This is one of the most important aspects in keeping ourselves looking and feeling young.
• Eat right. You don’t need to starve yourself; a good diet will include eating in the right portions something from every major food group. Just consume more fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as fibers, and eat less of fatty foods. Having the right diet will allow your body to have the maximum amount of nutrients that it will need while cutting down on the damaging and toxin filled dishes.
• Introduce a daily exercise regimen. If not daily, at least three times a week. Exercise will not only build up your immune system, make your resistance stronger, build your muscles, but it will also cleanse out your body as you sweat out toxins.
• Free yourself from stress. Stress makes the body “release” chemicals and these chemicals will cause your body to work in overdrive. As you experience more stress, these chemicals will always be secreted and this will damage your organs and the whole system. Look for different ways to relax, like meditation, yoga, doing Akashi readings, and most of all, have enough sleep, at least eight hours each day to rest your mind and body.

Could These Simple Food Habits be Putting Years on You? - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Goldshield
Have you ever heard the saying, ‘you are what you eat’? Put simply, this means that everything that you eat has an impact on the wellness and wellbeing of your body, and this includes the way that your body looks. One of the best anti-aging methods is simply to be aware that the food you eat could be making you look older (and that there is food out there that can actually make you look younger!)
Consuming too much full-fat dairy produce or red meat is one of the biggest problems when it comes to looking and feeling older. A study carried out by the Brigham Women’s Hospital found that the saturated fats found in red meat and dairy produce can cause the brain to age at a faster rate than other types of fat. This study looked into the dietary habits of around 6,200 women who were over 65, and found that those who had the highest intake of saturated fat also scored the worst on cognitive tests. The good news is that if you want to slow down the aging of the brain, you can actively take in monounsaturated fats such as avocado oil and olive oil.
Using too much salt is also a big no no when it comes to anti aging. A little salt is a good thing, and should never be avoided altogether, but too much salt dehydrates the body, causing kidney disease and high blood pressure, and it can also be linked to low cognitive health and low physical activity.
Having a sweet tooth is also, unfortunately, a red flag when it comes to anti aging. Sugar has a damaging effect on collagen, and this leads to the sagging of your skin and to wrinkles appealing. Whilst a cake or two here and there won’t do any damage, many people consume far too much sugar and should cut down if they want their skin to stay youthful.

Does Plastic Surgery Actually Make You More Attractive? - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda
Is anti-ageing wellness the same as looking attractive? Not according to a study, as researchers have found that even though facial plastic surgery may turn back the hands of time, it may not, alas, also boost your attractiveness.
For the study, which only involved 50 participants, the researchers showed the volunteers photos of 49 patients either before or after facial plastic surgery. The participants were asked to guess the age of each patient, as well as subjectively ranking their attractiveness. The results of the study revealed that while surgical intervention did indeed manage to shave a few years off the patients’ perceived ages, it did nothing to boost anyone’s overall level of attractiveness. According to study lead author Dr. Joshua Zimm, an attending surgeon at Lenox Hill Hospital and Manhattan Eye, Ear and Throat Institute of North Shore-LIJ Health System in New York City, the issue here is that patients’ expectations don’t match up with how the surgery will actually affect their wellbeing.
‘When we’re doing this kind of surgery I’m telling patients that they’ll look fresher, more energetic and less tired, and we have some data in the literature that indicates you will look younger, as we found,’ Zimm notes. ‘But clearly I cannot say that they will look more attractive.’ However, Zimm is quick to point out that the findings are based on the work of just one surgeon – maybe the 49 patients should have gone to someone else! – and there are also limitations to the design of the study. ‘This is not the final word on the subject,’ Zimm assures. ‘But certainly I think you can take away from this that if you’re looking to have aesthetic facial surgery to look younger, we’ve shown that you will. Beyond that … it is not clear that everyone will definitely look more attractive.’
For the study, which was published in the online edition of the journal JAMA Facial Plastic Surgery, the team of researchers focused on certain clients at a Toronto private-practice facility. Between 2006 and 2010, all of the clients had either had a face lift, neck lift, upper or lower eyelid lift, or brow-lift, and they were all between the ages of 42 and 73 years old. The researchers took facial photos – in which makeup and jewellery were forbidden – both before and six-months after the surgery. The patients were also banned from having additional cosmetic procedures (such as Botox injections or laser skin resurfacing) between the before-and-after photo sessions. The raters only ever saw a pre-surgery or a post-surgery photo of a particular patient – never both.
Zimm asserts that the findings do not accurately portray how your friends and relatives might react to any surgery you might have, as they will have a very clear frame of reference for assessing both age and beauty. He adds that the researchers may have created a ‘kind of subconscious attractiveness bias’ by asking the raters to assess age and attractiveness at the same time. However, he comments, ‘At the end of the day the goal is to make people happy, so we have to know what’s possible in order to determine if any particular patient is someone I can help.’
However, Dr. Laurie Casas, a senior clinician educator at the University of Chicago Pritzker School of Medicine, who was not involved in the study, argues, ‘Certainly when I see a new patient I have to decide if what the patient is after is achievable or even realistic. And it’s a very complex process because the perception of beauty has to be evaluated by both the surgeon and the patient. The end game is that they want to look more attractive, but this study doesn’t get me anywhere with that process because it’s impossible to make any sense out of the data. It’s totally subjective, so the results have no meaning.’

Sunny Dangers: 4 Ways to Protect Yourself from the Sun’s Rays - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda
Sunlight isn’t evil. It’s a great source of Vitamin D and it can even help improve your mood, especially if you suffer from seasonal affective disorder. However, sunlight does have its dangers including painful sunburns, premature aging and skin cancer. If you’re planning to spend time outside, it’s wise to protect yourself from harsh ultraviolet rays. The following four tips should help you get started.
Choose Your Outdoor Hours Wisely
The sun’s rays tend to be at their most intense between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m. Stay inside between these hours or, if you have to be out, take extra precautions.
Use Sunscreen
If you’re going to be outside for any length of time, wear sunscreen, even in cloudy weather. For best results, pick a brand that protects against both UVA and UVB rays and has an SPF of 30 or above. Double check the expiration date before using the sunscreen – it does lose its effectiveness over time. Apply at least one full ounce of sunscreen 15 to 30 minutes before you leave the house. Reapply generous amounts of sunscreen every two hours or if your skin is wet from heavy perspiration or going swimming.
Choose Appropriate Clothing
Your best bet is loose-fitting, dark-colored clothing made from tightly woven fabrics. Some clothing comes with UPF ratings – the higher the number, the greater the protection. According to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), a good way to check the weave of the fabric is to place your hand between a single layer of fabric and a source of light. If you can see your hand through the fabric, the weave is too loose to provide much protection from harmful UVA and UVB rays.
Wear Wraparound Sunglasses
Wraparound sunglasses from the Optometrists Clinic are better than regular sunglasses or contact lenses because they help protect the sensitive skin around the eyes. According to the American Cancer Society, glasses labeled “UV Absorption up to 400 nm” or “Meets ANSI UV Requirements” block 99 percent of UVA and UVB rays. Those labeled as “cosmetic” block only 70 percent. If the glasses are not labeled, don’t make assumptions about the protection they offer based on how dark the shades are. The UVA/UVB protection comes from coating with an invisible chemical, not the color of the lenses.
It’s a bad idea to become a hermit to avoid the rays of the sun – after all, you’re a human, not a vampire – but it’s a good idea to take sensible measures to protect yourself from getting too much direct sunlight. A little care now can save you a lot of health problems down the road.

Simple Ways to Stay Younger Looking - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellbeing
If someone were able to bottle the elixir of eternal youth, they would be richer than Croesus. Sadly, age overtakes all of us at some point, no matter how many lotions and potions we try to keep the sands of time at bay. So, what can we realistically do to ensure we stay younger looking for longer, other than trying botox NJ?
Genes play a big part in how well a person ages. Take a look at your parents. Have they aged well? If so, as long as you take good care of yourself (see below for some useful tips), you will be in with the best possible chance of looking youthful for longer.
Quit Smoking
Smoking is guaranteed to age you more quickly than nature would. Smokers have lower eyelid bags, more wrinkles, and a sallower complexion. Smoking affects blood circulation, so your skin is starved of oxygenated blood, which supplies it with nutrients. Smoking also depletes our vitamin C reserves, so you will look grey and unhealthy. And let’s not forget the extra wrinkles around the mouth area from puffing away all day long.
Drink Plenty of Water
Water hydrates the skin and body. Drink plenty of water to flush out toxins and keep your skin younger looking. You can apply all the anti-aging creams you like, but if you don’t drink enough water, it will affect your skin. Try to drink at least six glasses of fresh water a day. It really is good for you in a multitude of ways!
Avoid Vigorous Exercise
We all know exercise is good for us, but did you know that too much vigorous exercise is not so good for the skin? Some types of exercise, for example running, can cause irreparable damage to facial tissues. The continual pounding up and down leads to a loss of elasticity in the skin, which can cause sagging tissue and wrinkles. As we age, our tissues lose elasticity and plumpness. Vigorous exercise exacerbates this affect, so stick to swimming or walking instead.
Stay Out of the Sun
The sun does nothing to make you younger looking, other than give you a healthy glow. UV light causes damage to the upper and lower layers of the skin. Too much sun causes our skin to age prematurely: cue lots of fine lines and wrinkles. It isn’t just your face that’s affected, either. A sun-damaged décolletage is just as aging as a perma-tanned face. Note: tanning beds are just as bad for the skin, if not worse, so stick to fake tan if you want a bronzed look.
Be Happy
Happy people stay younger looking for longer. Regular sex and minimal stress is good for us, so if you want to stay younger looking, you need to be in a happy, secure relationship, have lots of sex, and be full of the joys of life. Otherwise, you will be frowning a lot, which causes nasty wrinkles and frown lines.
You can’t stay younger looking forever, but you can delay the process by living a healthy lifestyle!

From organic foodies to organic skin care users, one thing they have in common is using raw, organic, chemically-untreated food stuffs and here are a few organic facial masks you can try at home to get you started on your facial rejuvenation.

Honey is a natural humectant which means it retains the moisture in your skin.

Just lather it all over your face and rinse with cold water so it maintains its moisture.
2.Avocado mask
Avocados are naturally rich in oils that are essential to moisturize dry skin. Mash some ripe avocados and put it all over your face.

You will get really supple and energized skin after.
3. Coffee mask
This cupboard staple is not only for giving you an energy boost in the morning but it can also moisturize and help brighten your complexion.

It’s Never Too Late, or Too Early, to Take Care of Your Skin - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda
It’s never too late to start taking care of your skin but, equally, it’s never too early. Some people put off thinking about their anti-ageing wellness until the first wrinkles appear, but your skin actually begins to age when you’re only in your mid-20s, albeit not visibly. However, whatever your age, there are steps you can do to enhance your skin wellness, so what are you waiting for?
1. Use a gentle cleanser
If you have oily skin, you need to find an oil-free, foaming cleanser, but if you have dry skin you need to use a cleanser that’s rich and creamy. If your skin is very sensitive, a lot of cleansers may be harmful to your wellbeing, so it might be a good idea to talk to a dermatologist about how you can avoid irritation. Remember to wash your face with cool or warm water, as hot water can strip your skin off its natural moisture and protective layer. For the same reason, when drying your face remember to pat dry, rather than rub.
2. Moisturise
It’s important to use a moisturiser on your face as this will protect your skin, as well as making it look and feel better. Using a lightweight, oil-free moisturiser every day can be helpful if you have oily skin or breakouts, while people with dry skin may need to apply moisturiser more than once a day. To seal the moisture in, may sure you apply your cream or lotion when your skin is damp.
3. Always wear sun cream
Whether it’s summer or winter, a sunny day or pouring it down, a day outside or you’re staying indoors; you need protection from the sun during daylight hours. The rays of the sun can pass through clouds and even windows, so you’re never safe from exposure. This means you absolutely have to wear sun cream on a daily basis, and this needs to contain a broad-spectrum SPF of 30 or higher. When you’re buying your moisturiser, you can kill two birds with one stone by choosing one with SPF included. Remember to cover your lips, and to reapply your sun cream all over if you sweat or are outside for a long time.
4. Layer in the right order
It’s completely fine to layer your beauty and wellness products, you just need to do it in the right order to make sure they all do their respective jobs. First and foremost, you need to start with clean skin, and then proceed to apply any prescription creams or gels you might have. In the morning, you should layer on your moisturiser, followed by your sun cream (if it’s not in your moisturiser) and then, finally, makeup if you wear it. In the evening, you should follow up your clean face and prescription cream with an anti-ageing product (if you use one) and then a moisturiser without sun cream.
5. Exfoliate
Scrubbing away your dead skin cells will help your skin to glow. It’s dealers choice as to what you use for buffing, but generally a soft washcloth, spinning brush or a body scrub with synthetic beads will get the job done. If you have dry skin, you can probably get away with gently exfoliating once a week, but if your skin is oily, you may have to exfoliate twice weekly. However, if you have sensitive skin or acne, exfoliating may be irritating to your skin so speak to your dermatologist about the best way to move forward. No matter your skin type, exfoliating too much or too hard can irritate and thicken your skin, so be gentle.

Sleep Your Way to Better Skin with Your Perfect Night Cream - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel SandaWellbeing
You may remember watching your mum put on her anti-ageing night cream when you were young, but when is it your turn to follow suit? Are night creams really beneficial to your skin wellness, or will your regular old moisturiser do?
According to Dipikka Topiwala, beauty expert and head of marketing at Tips & Toes, ‘Any kind of beauty treatment should be done when you are completely relaxed and stress-free, to help the nutrients absorb into your skin better. Night creams work on your skin when you are sleeping; moisturising and nourishing it.’ Sufyan Kapadia, make-up expert at Clere, adds, ‘Night creams contain ingredients like retinol and AHA fruit acids that fight wrinkles and fine lines. Thus it is a must for every woman to use a night cream on a daily basis.’
So with all those brands and types out there, how do you choose a night cream? Firstly, consider your age. Every night cream has been formulated with a specific age in mind, so, if you’re in your 20s, go for a cream containing natural ingredients like aloe vera, honey and other essential oils. When you hit your 30s, its time to turn to more active ingredients, such as amino acids, ceramides, retinol and other antioxidants. If you’re in your 40s, opt for a night cream that can fight puffiness, wrinkles and pigmentation, which requites ingredients like peptides, soy extract and vitamins. Finally, for the Big 5-0 and beyond, you need something with a little more moisture.
Plus, you need to think about your skin type. For dry skin, you need the maximum moisture you can find, from creams based in glycerine. Vivek Sahni, director of Kama Ayurveda, says ‘Creams that contain avocado, almond oil and shea butter are great for your skin type.’ A danger for oily skin is creams that trigger acne or rashes, so try to find a cream that’s oil-free. If you have sensitive skin, neem, cucumber, tea tree and Aloe Vera creams are your best bet, and you should avoid heavy, perfume-based creams, as these can cause rashes. Then, all you have to do is apply the cream half-an-hour before you go to bed, and sleep your way to better skin.

Sun Cream Proven to Prevent Ageing Once and For All - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Goldshield
Let’s be honest; we’ve had a bit of a rubbish summer so far. The last few weeks have been a series of brief, hopeful moments of sunshine, followed by longer periods of grey and gloom, and as a result, knowing how to prepare for the weather has been a nightmare. Do you chance it with that cute new summer dress or plump for jeans and risk sweating it out if and when the sun decides to make an appearance? And what about sun cream? You may think that it’s not worth bothering with, but a new study has shown that, regardless of the weather, sun cream can do wonders for your wellbeing.
If you use sun cream every day, you are –without a shadow of a doubt – strengthening your anti-ageing wellness. This is according to a new study, published in the Annals of Internal Medicine, which has scientifically proven that daily use of sun cream prevents ageing. This is based on data from 900 young and middle-aged men and women, who were followed for four and a half years. The researchers from Queensland Institute of Medical Research discovered that, in those who wore SPF 15+ sunscreen most days; there were no detectable signs of ageing.
According to lead author and epidemiologist Adele Green, ‘This has been one of those beauty tips that you often hear quoted, but for the first time we can back it with science. Protecting yourself from skin cancer by using sunscreen regularly has the added bonus of keeping you looking younger.’ Of the participants who had used sun cream most days on their face, arms and hands, half showed no signs of ageing at all. Moreover, frequent sun cream users exhibited 24% less skin ageing than those who used sunscreen only some of the time.
For the study, the researchers took silicone moulds from the backs of all the participants’ hands at the start and end of the study, to assess sun damage. The researchers made sure that each participant in the study was under the age of 55, as this guarantees that photo-ageing – rather than chronological ageing – was the major factor in any skin changes. The low age of the participants mean that up until middle age, it’s not too late to use sun cream to lessen the impact of the sun’s rays on your skin.

Fish, especially salmon and tuna, contain omega-3 fatty acids. This acid is found in your retina and is known to enhance your brain power, which can indirectly lead to better vision.

Seven Quick Tips to Help You Feel Younger and Fresher - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellbeing
Anti-Ageing wellness isn’t just about the long term; sometimes, a few late nights and early mornings can make you feel 10 years older than you really are. So how do you give your wellbeing a quick boost? We’ve got some top tips from experts and readers to help you bounce back in no time.
1. Eat Red
According to nutritionist Robin Kaye, if you want superfoods to fight that ageing feeling, you can’t go wrong with red foods, like watermelon, berries, and tomatoes. Berries, for example, are antioxidant-rich anti-inflammatories, meaning that they can protect you against age-related mental decline, and help keep your brain healthy. Kaye adds, ‘Tomatoes and watermelon contain lycopene, a powerful antioxidant with anti-ageing properties.’
2. Laugh and Smile
Wellness writer Anna Davies notes, ‘Whether you dig SNL skits or prefer watching baby sloths scamper around, dozens of studies prove that laughter reduces stress, which makes you feel light-years younger in the moment — even if you’ll be back to squinting at spreadsheets in a few minutes.’ Moreover, a recent study has found that smiling can make you appear three years younger than you actually are. So say cheese!
3. Lighten up
Donna Perillo, founder of Sweet Lily Natural Spa in New York City, advises, ‘Avoid vamp-y reds or dark purple polish, which can draw attention to any imperfections on your hands. The best way to avoid sunspots, crepe-y skin and other age-related evidence is to exfoliate your hands weekly with a self-made sugar scrub.’ Mix up half-a-cup of granulated sugar, half-a-cup of olive oil, and a few drops of essential oil for a sugar scrub that takes years off your hands.
4. Hit the Town
Research has shown that having strong social ties can lower your blood pressure, reduce your stress and guard against dementia – all of which are important for helping you feel young – so grab your BFF! Seattle resident Cass D., 35, details, ‘Whenever we’re feeling a little too bogged down by everyday life, my best friend and I schedule a girls’ night away from our husbands. Last time, we went to a bar that’s frequented by a lot of students at the local college. We danced, we laughed, and yes, we may have harmlessly flirted with one or two college seniors.’
5. Make Time for Tea
While the health properties of tea may seem too good to be true, Robin Nielsen, a nutritionist in Morgan Hill, CA, asserts that tea lives up to the hype. ‘Hydration is key for looking younger,’ Nielsen explains. ‘And tea is one way to make sure you’re getting enough liquids. Plus, studies have found green tea can help us retain elasticity in our skin as we age.’ Teas have also been shown to bust stress and boost energy – as if you needed an excuse to put the kettle on!
6. Slather on Sun Cream
Davies points out, ‘Not only does slathering up — even on cloudy or cold days — help prevent the wrinkles and sun spots that’ll add extra years over time, but the scent triggers nostalgia, which has a whole host of benefits, including self-esteem enhancement and feeling more socially connected to the people you’re surrounded by, all of which may make you feel the years falling away.’
7. Make Sure Your To Do List is Realistic
Ronald Kotler, MD, Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania and author of 365 Ways to Get a Good Night’s Sleep, warns, ‘The stress hormone cortisol ages the body, inside and out. If your to-do list is a mile long and you’re constantly thinking about it, you’re living the stress response all the time.’

The 6 Benefits of Microdermabrasion you didn’t know - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Goldshield
The skin is the largest body organ, yet the most ignored. The skin is alive with cells and tissues that die off as new ones are regenerated every second. Ignoring your skin only leaves it with dark scars, wrinkles and blemishes that could easily be removed for a perfectly glowing and youthful skin.
The old layers of skin have to be removed frequently for the skin pores to breathe easily and leave your beautiful skin looking radiant. There are many methods of exfoliating the skin to maintain a glowing, youthful skin but the most effective one is the use of microdermabrasion. This is a guaranteed way of restoring your once lustrous skin that is hidden below the old skin layers.
What is Microdermabrasion?
This is a non-abrasive fast result skin procedure that employs machine technology to treat the skin. It is a mechanical exfoliation process that removes dead and dull skin surface layers by sloughing it off. Consequently, there is an increase in collagen production resulting in rejuvenated skin.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
1. Anti-aging effects
Old is gold but looking old is never cool and gold. Dry, dull and wrinkled skin damaged by overexposure to the sun and other elements is considered an eye-sore. As a result, many anti-aging techniques have been devised. The best technique to fight aging is microdermabrasion. The sloughing off of old skin exposes the skin cells that produce newer skin cells. Sebum also gets to work effectively because of less oily clogs.
Collagen is the tissue protein that keeps the skin elastic and firm. More production of collagen leads to more beautiful and youthful skin. Microdermabrasion makes it easier for skin products to easily seep into the deeper dermal layers building collagen faster. This process also softens fine lines and wrinkles while smoothening coarsely textured skin.
2. Convenience and Affordability
Microdermabrasion machines are considerably cheap and they do not need the whole day at the aesthetician or dermatologist. A lunchtime break is all you might need. In addition to this, at home microdermabrasion machines are locally available. This makes you save time and look beautiful from the convenience of your home.
3. Glowing Skin
A glowing skin is every woman’s (and man’s) dream. The deep exfoliation experience from microdermabrasion enhances blood circulation to the skin cells. Lymph flow is also increased and this promotes internal skin health. Antibodies get to the skin cells faster, inflammation is reduced and wastes are excreted faster and efficiently. This results in a healthy glowing skin.
4. Even Skin Pigmentation
Uneven skin is one uncomfortable skin condition that we have to deal with. Whether from scars, birth defects (scars), sun spots or normal pigmentation around the knees and armpits, it has to be solved. The hyper pigmented skin is localized on the epidermal layer of the skin thus easily removed. Microdermabrasion has been seen as a very effective solution.
It sandblasts the skin with a flow of aluminium oxide micro-crystals. This boosts collagen production and the skin is forced to rejuvenate. Elastin and collagen production is enhanced by microdermabrasion increasing skin elasticity making skin imperfections less visible.
5. Whole Body Care
The skin, being the largest organ, needs to be taken care of as a whole. At home microdermabrasion machines are able to safely take care of your face, neck, chest, hands and feet. This is not only convenient but it is also a good way for people whose religious practices don’t allow them to be seen by other people.
These machines offer auto mode guides for beginners too. As a result, you have skin with reduced appearance of pores and less visible capillaries.
6. Treatment of Keratosis Pilaris
This is a common, harmless skin condition causing tiny bumps and patches on arms, thighs, cheeks and buttocks.
It’s caused by keratin buildup resulting in scaly plugs that clog hair follicles. Microdermabrasion clears the bumps restoring your beautiful skin.
In conclusion, beautiful, youthful and ever glowing skin can be maintained by use of microdermabrasion techniques at home.

The old layers of skin have to be removed frequently for the skin pores to breathe easily and leave your beautiful skin looking radiant. There are many methods of exfoliating the skin to maintain a glowing, youthful skin but the most effective one is the use of microdermabrasion. This is a guaranteed way of restoring your once lustrous skin that is hidden below the old skin layers.
What is Microdermabrasion?
This is a non-abrasive fast result skin procedure that employs machine technology to treat the skin. It is a mechanical exfoliation process that removes dead and dull skin surface layers by sloughing it off. Consequently, there is an increase in collagen production resulting in rejuvenated skin.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
1. Anti-aging effects
Old is gold but looking old is never cool and gold. Dry, dull and wrinkled skin damaged by overexposure to the sun and other elements is considered an eye-sore. As a result, many anti-aging techniques have been devised. The best technique to fight aging is microdermabrasion. The sloughing off of old skin exposes the skin cells that produce newer skin cells. Sebum also gets to work effectively because of less oily clogs.
Collagen is the tissue protein that keeps the skin elastic and firm. More production of collagen leads to more beautiful and youthful skin. Microdermabrasion makes it easier for skin products to easily seep into the deeper dermal layers building collagen faster. This process also softens fine lines and wrinkles while smoothening coarsely textured skin.
2. Convenience and Affordability
Microdermabrasion machines are considerably cheap and they do not need the whole day at the aesthetician or dermatologist. A lunchtime break is all you might need. In addition to this, at home microdermabrasion machines are locally available. This makes you save time and look beautiful from the convenience of your home.
3. Glowing Skin
A glowing skin is every woman’s (and man’s) dream. The deep exfoliation experience from microdermabrasion enhances blood circulation to the skin cells. Lymph flow is also increased and this promotes internal skin health. Antibodies get to the skin cells faster, inflammation is reduced and wastes are excreted faster and efficiently. This results in a healthy glowing skin.
4. Even Skin Pigmentation
Uneven skin is one uncomfortable skin condition that we have to deal with. Whether from scars, birth defects (scars), sun spots or normal pigmentation around the knees and armpits, it has to be solved. The hyper pigmented skin is localized on the epidermal layer of the skin thus easily removed. Microdermabrasion has been seen as a very effective solution.

6 Essential Skincare Products You Need In Your 30’s - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda
Let’s be honest: When we’re in our 20s, we had very little worry about our skin care regime. Sure, we washed our faces before bed (most of the time), but in terms of specific products to target specific aging skin problems?
Nah. We had better things to do! And were invincible, anyhow, right? Our skin glowed with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns, no matter what abuse we put it through!
And now, we’re 30-somethings. Our skin still looks lovely, though … maybe … looking closer … are those lines?!
What?!
This, friends, is what’s known as a major beauty wake-up call. It inspires many of us to take a closer look at our skin care routine (once we’ve calmed down a bit from the initial shock). If you’ve already got a regime going, this is the time to consider kicking it up a notch or two.
Getting that glow back may mean adding just a few new steps to your beauty regimen.
What Types of Products are Best for Skin in the 30s?
Don’t freak out. Aging is a natural process. However, recognize that now you have progressed beyond those carefree years of not paying attention to what you (or did not) put on your face. You may notice that your skin is changing, too. In addition to those pesky fine lines, especially around the eyes, you may also notice an overall dryness you never before.
There are a number of products you can incorporate into your daily routine to help slow signs of aging. Yes, you want to continue daily cleansing, but adding a few new things can make all the difference.
This is the time to get serious about skin care. What you do in your 30s will likely affect how your skin will look for decades to come.
Introducing Retinol: The Vitamin A+ Product
Retinol, also known as Vitamin A, is a stand out product when it comes to an effective anti-aging regimen. This is the perfect time to incorporate this compound into your regular skincare routine.
The benefits of retinol as an anti-aging tool, specifically its use to combat chronological and photoaging, began decades ago. Research indicated vitamin A helped improve the overall appearance of skin, making it appear smoother and more firm. It also proved beneficial to improving the skin’s overall tone.1
Incorporating a retinol serum, or an eye cream containing retinol, into your skin care regimen is, fortunately, easy. Just be sure to start slowly, as retinol can cause mild irritation. Consider using it every other day, at least at first.
It is always best to apply retinol at night, so you know you’re getting the full benefits of the product.2 One caveat regarding retinol: It does lose its effectiveness if exposed to air and light.
Facial Masks: Get That Glow On!
If you’re not already using a good face mask, now is the time to start. Be sure to choose the right one for your skin type, and use it correctly, so you get the maximum benefits. A great facial mask can greatly improve your skin’s tone and texture. As you peel off (or wash off) the mask, you’re gently removing layers of dead skin cells that linger on the face and as a result, brightens the complexion.
Consider using a facial mask or peel that contains glycolic acid, an alpha-hydroxy acid. This ingredient may help to reduce the appearance of fine lines, reduce breakouts and improve the skin’s overall appearance and feel.3
Start Using Serum
If you’ve reached your 30’s and you don’t have a clue what a face serum is, now is the time to learn. Think of a great serum is a secret anti-aging weapon in your growing arsenal of skin care products.
Depending on the active ingredients, a serum targets specific skin issues. It may help to diminish the appearance of fine lines. It may also help with age spots (yes, those start to show up about now). And if you’re dealing with redness, from rosacea or other issues, studies have shown it may help to reduce it.4
Tip: Apply serum to your skin after cleansing, but before you apply moisturizer. This will give the serum ample opportunity to penetrate your skin and get to work!
Get Moisturized
If you aren’t already experiencing drier skin, you may at some point in your 30s. This newfound dryness may be off-putting, but don’t let it discourage you. Yes, drier skin can appear duller. This is why you may need to up your game when it comes to your moisturizer. You cannot stop the aging process, but you may be able to slow it down by applying a moisturizer with powerful ingredients to nourish skin and make it appear more supple.
Be sure to choose a high-quality moisturizer. Look for one that’s designed for your skin type. Make sure it has at least SPF 30. Ingredients such as vitamins A, C, and E can all be beneficial.
Tip: Allow plenty of time for your moisturizer to absorb before you start your daily makeup routine—20 minutes is optimal. Use the time to check the daily headlines, enjoy a nice cup of tea, or just meditate and relax!
Scrub-a-Dub-Dub: Time to Exfoliate!
Our skin has the ability to naturally exfoliate itself. Isn’t that cool? But here’s the rub: over time, as we age, this ability slows to a crawl. The turnover isn’t as rapid, and we’re left staring into the bathroom mirror at a dull, flaky mess or a lot of clog pores which results in unwanted blackheads.
This is where exfoliation comes in. If you aren’t already exfoliating regularly, now is the time to start. A good exfoliating scrub is a must in your routine. Consider looking for products containing PHAs (polyhydroxy acids) such as gluconolactone and lactobionic acid. This may help to smooth skin and possibly prevent inflammation.5 Exfoliants with AHA or BHA should be used before applying facial serums and moisturizers. This will help to unclog pores and slough off dead skin cells, prepping your skin to absorb needed nutrients in your other products.
Tip: Don’t overdo it. When it comes to exfoliating, a few times per week should be more than enough. It’s okay to scrub, butscrub lightly! Overzealous exfoliating could backfire, and you’ll wind up with red, irritated skin.
Use. Sunscreen. Daily.
Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen. You’ve heard it a hundred times or more, but are you wearing it? Sunscreen is designed to be used every single day. By now, the message should be crystal clear: The sun makes you age faster than almost anything else. Did you know UV-rays from the sun are directly responsible for up to 90 percent of photoaging?6
Ninety percent. Nine-zero. That’s a lot. So, why risk it? Fight premature skin aging by shielding yourself. Choose a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 for your face and body. Be sure you apply every day. Make it part of your routine now, if you haven’t already. Pay special attention to your face and neck, chest, hands, and arms. These are the most visible parts exposed to the sun as we go about our daily lives.
Be gone, premature aging due to sun damage!
Conclusion
We’ve established that by the time we reach our 30s, our skin does begin to show some visible signs of aging: Little fine lines, a few weird dark spots or a dullish complexion. Sure, it doesn’t happen overnight. However, it’s never too early to start helping your skin slow down the aging process. By making a few adjustments to your routine (that only add a few minutes) and incorporating a few new products, you can definitely slow the hands of time when it comes to your skin.

Boost Your Memory by Drawing - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellbeing
When it comes to improving your memory, researchers have found that making a sketch is twice as effective as simply writing down words. Scientists from the Department of Psychology, at the University of Waterloo, asked participants to memorise simple objects such as a pear or a balloon. They also asked them to use various tricks to memorise the items and found that those who used drawings to help them remember were the most successful. They believe drawing makes the brain use various skills such as elaboration, visual imagery, motor action and pictorial representation which, when combined, have a memory-boosting effect.drawing

A Glass Of Wine May Slow Ageing - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel goldshield
Research from the University of Iowa claims to show that people who drink one or two alcoholic beverages per day age better than those who drink less, or are teetotal. The project, designed to monitor changes in human genes related to lifestyle, examined the genetic make-up of of over 800 Americans and found that, as expected, smoking accelerated biological ageing. In contrast, they found a mixe effect for alcohol consumption. While very low, or excessive consumption of alcohol, were both linked to accelerated aging, one or two alcoholic beverages seemed to slow the ageing process.
Previous research suggests that wine contains more antiageing antioxidants than other alcoholic drinks, and that white wine is as beneficial as red – in moderation, of course.

Three Effective Ways to Slow Down Skin Aging - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellness
As we grow older, aging of the skin is inevitable. The skin starts to lose its youthful glow and becomes dryer and less elastic, causing the appearance of wrinkles and lines which can be tell-tale signs of age. Most people want to minimise the appearance of aging on the skin, and thankfully there are a number of things which can be done in order to help slow down the process and retain your youthful, fresh looks for as long as possible. If you’re worried about dry skin or lines and wrinkles caused by aging, here are just some of the most effective ways to help slow it down or even reverse the process.
Creams and Lotions
When it comes to reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, anti-aging creams and moisturisers can be very effective. Applying creams and lotions to your skin can help to keep it hydrated, strong and supple and should be a crucial part of your daily beauty routine. Even if you’re not yet starting to experience the symptoms or signs of skin aging, applying hydrating and firming creams and lotions daily can help to slow the process down and prevent it for as long as possible.
Healthy Living
The foods and drinks that we put into our bodies along with a number of lifestyle habits can have an effect on the speed and severity of skin aging. As a general rule, those who enjoy a healthy diet and an active lifestyle are less likely to see the signs of aging skin earlier in life, whilst those with an unhealthy lifestyle tend to experience skin aging a lot sooner. Habits such as smoking can also have an impact, with tobacco smoke being proven as something than can prematurely age the skin and increase your chances of developing fine lines and wrinkles early in life. Drinking plenty of water regularly helps to keep your skin hydrated whilst an all-round healthy diet and lifestyle enables your skin to retain its elasticity for longer and therefore look younger.
Dermatological Treatments
If you’re starting to experience the onset of skin aging and are seeing fine lines and wrinkles appear on your face, there are a number of dermatological treatments which you can undergo to help slow the process down. Chemical peels are a popular choice of treatment which helps to remove dead skin cells and rejuvenate the skin, giving it a much fresher, younger and healthier appearance. Treatments such as Botox injections and dermal fillers are also increasing in popularity amongst those who want to retain their youthful looks for as long as possible. The Ottawa Skin Clinic offers a range of different dermatological treatments like dermal fillers that are carried out by qualified and experienced specialists to help reduce the signs of aging in your skin and leave it refreshed and rejuvenated.
Nobody likes to look like they’re getting older! But with the right care and attention, you can make sure that your skin stays looking young and fresh for as long as possible.

Intermittent Fasting: The Key to Anti-Aging? - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellbeing
In ancient times, our ancestors were used to dealing with the scarcity of food. Having plenty to eat some days and little on other days was the norm, and did no harm to their wellness and wellbeing. Could it be, however, that intermittent fasting in this way can also have anti-aging effects?
This could be the case, as intermittent fasting enhances cellular repair, reduces oxidative stress and seems to be a great way of increasing your lifespan. Food scarcity over many thousands of years appears to have led to our ancestors and, subsequently, us, developing protective mechanisms in their bodies to help them adapt in times when food is scarce.
When food is scarce, the cell membranes in our bodies become more sensitive to insulin. This allows fat to be stored effectively and food used effectively too. On the other hand, when food is abundant, the body desensitises the cells to insulin, in order to store fat, and this produces oxidative stress and causes inflammatory conditions in the body. The increased insulin can also lead to increased risk of cancer and enhances cellular division.
Now that we have a massive abundance of food sources, the body is constantly receiving signals of surplus. In order to turn on the body’s natural anti-aging mechanism, intermittent fasting can be employed. This turns on the genetic repair mechanisms in the body and enhances the rejuvenation of cells. This process seems to allow certain cells to have a much longer lifetime, perhaps because it is less expensive to repair a cell than it is to break it up and make new cells. This stops the formation of cancer cells.
Therefore, new diets such as the 5:2 intermittent fasting diet could have all kinds of fantastic health benefits. As well as losing weight you could reduce your risk of cancer and keep looking younger for longer.

How to Use Red Wine to Keep You Looking Young - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Goldshield
Those who enjoy an occasional glass of wine don’t need to feel guilty anymore – it turns out that it could be great for your wellness and wellbeing, especially in terms of anti-aging. Research has shown that those who drink red wine from time to time have less chance of suffering from heart disease than those who do not drink. On top of that, scientists have found that there is a strong link between red wine and anti-aging. It turns out that drinking red wine in moderation may be a powerful way to improve your lifespan and your cardiovascular health. It is, however, vital that you choose the correct type of red wine.
Only wine that has been produced using the traditional production methods actually has a high enough concentration of the active ingredients that keep you looking young. This ingredient is found in wines that have been produced in Sardinia, Italy and in the South West of France. Wines from these regions were tested, and it was found that they had higher levels of polyphenols (in fact they were up to 10 times higher in these wines than in wines from the New World).
When researchers looked further into why this might be, they discovered that the traditional wine-production methods used in these regions ensured that the vital ingredients and beneficial compounds could be effectively extracted from the grapes. This is why the traditional lines are better for your health than the wines that use newer production methods.
Other types of wine were tested, too, but it was found conclusively that red wine had the most potent polyphenols. In some red wines, around one gram per litre of wine was actually detected!
At the same time, the researchers found that resveratrol, found in alcohol, is not the miracle ingredient it has previously been thought to be, especially when contrasted with polyphenols.

Take Vitamins and Supplements
There are many vitamins and supplements available and it can be quite overwhelming when you’re figuring out what you should take. Always research supplements before taking them to ensure they’re right for you. Some of the best vitamins for anti-aging purposes include:
Get Plenty of Exercise
With aging comes inflammation and by exercising regularly, the inflammation will be reduced. With reduced inflammation, you’ll not only fight the signs of aging but you’ll lower your risk of getting depression, decreased mental function, and loss of muscle mass. Try to be active for at least 20 to 30 minutes each day and consider interval training which is when you work out very hard for a short duration of time. You should try to avoid extreme exercise because this just ends up increasing inflammation.
Protect Your Skin
One of the most important things that you can do for your skin is to protect it from the sun. Even on overcast days it’s crucial to wear some sunscreen because you can get burned even if the sun isn’t visible. When applying sunscreen, make sure to apply a generous amount to your body to ensure you’re safely covered. Even if you use a high SPF, you still want to remember to re-apply it to your face and body every 90 minutes you’re in the sun.
Eat The Right Foods
Your diet can have a big impact on how quickly you age. Some foods only dehydrate your skin, which leads to signs of aging so it’s best to limit the amount you eat. It’s important to limit your sugar and salt intake, limit the amount of caffeine and alcohol you drink. There are many great super foods and drinks that help slow down the signs of aging, including:
No matter how old you are, it makes a big difference when you start taking care of your body and mind. Aging isn’t the worst thing to ever happen, but aging gracefully allows you to look and feel younger for as long as possible. Take time for yourself to exercise each day and eat the right foods for a healthy diet. Find good supplements and vitamins that you can take to slow down the process of aging and make you feel younger and healthier. Make sure to reduce stress, get plenty of rest, and drink at least 8 glasses of water every day to remain in the best health possible.

Skin Care Ingredient That Really Can Turn Back Time - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellbeing
Miracle potions that promise to reverse the signs of ageing are regularly revealed to do nothing of the sort – until now. A particular chemical ingredient used in anti-wrinkle creams has been shown to almost double the production of collagen, the protein needed for elasticity in the skin.
Matrixyl is used in many popular and affordable face cream brands that can be bought across the counter, bringing this precious commodity within the reach of everyone looking to banish wrinkles and lines from their face.
Reading University professor Ian Hamley carried out the study into the effects of Matrixyl during the course of his research into the use of collagen to help wounds heal. Matrixyl is a peptide, a protein fragment that can stimulate collagen growth in the skin.
He examined the effects of Matrixyl on skin cells and discovered that the chemical could boost the amount of collagen produced by the body when the concentration used was high enough.
Professor Hamley described his findings as “very important for the consumer”, providing them with data that reveals whether the skincare product they are using is effective or not.
Having scientific evidence to back up claims that a particular skincare produce can actually reverse the signs of ageing is guaranteed to give a boost to cosmetic companies. In fact, when Professor Hamley’s research findings were published in the journal Molecular Pharmaceutics, the news had an immediate effect on sales of the skincare products known to contain Matrixyl, such as Olay, St Ives and Skin Doctors, which sold out in popular outlets within days.
Matrixyl is said to reduce the appearance of fine lines while improving firmness in the skin.

It occurs more often in middle-aged and older women, but BMS can affect anyone so you’re never off the hook. The burning sensation can last for months or even years, often starting late in the morning and peaking at evening times. You may feel constant pain, or pain that comes and goes, but regardless, this pain can cause many to experience anxiety and depression. Moreover, you may be affected by:
You should replace your toothbrush every three to four months, as old, worn out bristles can damage your gums.

10 Natural Ways of Protecting Your Teeth and Healthy Smile Forever - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda
You look good when you smile well. Like every other organ your teeth also require some attention to deliver that beautiful smile. If you don’t take the pain of keeping them clean and fail to provide the required nutrition you will definitely end up in a dental clinic soon. Here, are some natural techniques that you can practice at home and have clean and healthy teeth.
Have lots of water
It helps in washing away the leftover food particles and bacteria. Also, make a habit to rinse or gargle after every meal; it takes just few seconds.
Never skip brushing and flossing
Brush your teeth twice a day daily and change your toothbrush in 2 to 3 months. Brushing is not just enough for your teeth. You need to clean the small gaps between the teeth which are not possible with a brush. You need to floss your teeth at least once a day. Do this before brushing so that the remaining food particles can be easily brushed away.
Have the right food
You need to supply some nutrients like calcium, magnesium, vitamin D and phosphorous to your teeth. You should have some meat, fruits, vegetables and dairy. Eating cheese helps in preventing tooth cavities as it neutralizes plaque acid and increase pH levels.
Brush properly using a tongue scraper
The same microbes that are present in your teeth have to be cleaned from your tongue. So, start using a tongue scraper to keep the surrounding surface clean.
Smoking has adverse effects
It’s not just about the bad breathe that you carry after smoking but also the yellowish shade on your teeth when you smile. Eventually, you become a mouth breather and this disturbs you saliva production thereby affecting your teeth.
Never ignore regular toothaches
Do you have bleeding gums or sensitive tooth and regular pain? Well, it’s time for a checkup. Check out the best dentists in Aurora and book an appointment, as “dentistry is not expensive, neglect is”.
Green tea works
Yes, that’s true because it is proven that green tea can destroy the bacteria that cause tooth decay, cavities and gum diseases. Start drinking 2 to 3 cups of green daily without sugar or honey and also chew sugarless gums made with green tea.
Try oil pulling
Oil pulling is another natural technique used for whitening teeth and it also reduces bacteria. For this you can use sesame, tea tree, sunflower and coconut oil. It is scientifically proved that oil pulling is a very effective alternative to chemical-based mouthwashes.
Vitamin D is very beneficial
Vitamin D deficiency is one of the reasons for tooth decay so go for some oily fish like salmon, trout and tuna. Orange juice and cereals also contain vitamin D.
Use Xylitol gum
Xylitol is an artificial sweetener which inhibits bacterial growth and prevents gum diseases and tooth decay. It basically fools the bacteria and they end up starving to death.
Food that should be ignored
You do love eating candies and chocolates and they love eating your teeth. And also avoid soda, sports drink and fruit juices as they have high sugar content. For everything you lose you gain something right?
Regular dental checkups
Never take your dental checkups for granted and make sure you do it every 6 months. Your dentist can suggest you the right dental products for your teeth care and other treatments required as per your teeth condition. It is rightly said, “A toothbrush doesn’t remove 6 months of tarter 30 minutes before your appointment”.

Cosmetics and Your Health: What Should You Be Aware of? - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellbeing
Makeup is an enjoyable way to change your look and boost your self-esteem. While a majority of women use cosmetics of some sort on a daily basis, many don’t think about possible health concerns. The next time you sit down to primp, keep these following tips in mind.
Allergies
Cosmetics are not strictly regulated by the FDA, and many ingredients don’t need approval before being sold to consumers. With that in mind, it is important to purchase products only from reputable retailers or other reliable sources. Purchasing unknown brands could expose you to low-quality or strange ingredients, potentially causing an allergic reaction.
Hidden Germs
Makeup brushes and applicators can be veritable germ factories if not replaced regularly or properly washed and dried. Makeup brushes collect oil and dead skin cells along with traces of cosmetics, providing a breeding ground for bacteria or fungus. Replacing your makeup brushes can be easy and affordable with coupons from online sources like discountrue.com for stores such as Ulta.
Expiration Dates
Your milk isn’t the only product you reach for daily that has an expiration date. Most makeup has an expiration date, whether or not it is printed on the packaging. For example, mascara should be replaced every 3 months while foundation is good for approximately a year.
Carcinogens
Carcinogens are substances that can cause cancer. Since makeup components are very rarely cleared by the FDA, long-term safety of many products is not well-established. It’s a good idea to educate yourself upon the ingredients in the products you regularly use, and stick to well-respected brands that care for and respect the health of their customers.
Cosmetics Are Not Multipurpose
Many women try to multipurpose their makeup products for a variety of reasons; maybe because they adore a particular shade or they’re trying to stretch their beauty budget to the max. However, never use a product that is intended for one area of your face on another. For example, using lip gloss as a cream eye shadow can expose your yes to dangerous chemicals, while eye products are never meant to be used on the mouth and possibly ingested.
The majority of cosmetics are safe and easy to use. However, taking extra precautions and educating yourself upon proper health protocols ensures that your beauty rituals remain fun and easy. Remember: if you take care of your cosmetics, they’ll take care of you.

Bad Or Benign: How to Tell a Mole from a Melanoma - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda
Skin cancer is on the rise, and awareness about the disease has been increased so it can caught before it becomes a threat. There are many treatments available if cancer is found, but proper diagnosis and early treatment are the keys to surviving.
A suspicious mole is often the first sign of skin cancer. However, it is important to note that not every mole is cancerous. A dermatologist from Austin Dermatology recommends you consult a professional on any suspect moles. Below are some tips you can use to help determine whether a mole is cancerous.
Asymmetrical
One of the things you will need to pay attention to when inspecting a mole is the symmetry of it. Cancerous moles are often asymmetrical. One side may be bigger, lopsided, or oddly shaped.
Color
Cancerous moles often have many different colors in them like red, black, blue, brown or white. A change in the color of an existing mole can be a cause for concern as well. You need to make sure you bring this to your physician’s attention should you notice it.
Evolving Moles
You should not only look out for new moles, but look to make sure you inspect the ones you already have. Changes in height, surface texture, and shape could all be signs of cancer.
Blurred Borders
Healthcare professionals are often able to determine whether a mole is cancerous by looking at its border. Benign moles typically have a defined border, but if the mole is cancerous, then it may be irregular or blurred around the outside edges.
Painful Mole
Cancerous moles may be tender to the touch, or painful. They may also have fluid or blood coming from them. If you notice any of those problems, you will need to make sure you schedule an appointment with your physician.
Diameter
You may want to measure the diameter of the mole as well. Cancerous moles are typically larger than the benign ones. If the diameter of the mole is greater than the size of a pencil eraser, this could be an indication of cancer.
Even though moles are not always cancerous, a suspicious mole is often the first sign of it. If you have a mole, inspect it carefully and consult with your doctor if you notice anything unusual. Be vigilant about checking often and thoroughly and putting on protective wear like long sleeves, hats, and sunscreen. Preventative medicine is often the most effective when it comes to skin cancer.

Anti-Wrinkle Injections and Alternatives to Smoother Skin - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellbeing
In these contemporary times, more and more people are making use of modern technological advancements to improve their appearance and reverse the signs of ageing that can detract from one’s confidence and self-esteem. Although many treatments for wrinkles exist, anti-wrinkle injections have become particularly prevalent. If you are considering getting anti-wrinkle injections to decrease or entirely remove the appearance of wrinkles, you should learn as much about them as possible. In so doing, you can determine if having anti-wrinkle injections is the right method for you to use.
To gain a deeper understanding of whether or not anti-wrinkle injections are a safe course of action for the removal of wrinkles, it is important to learn basic facts about them. In short, anti-wrinkle injections are what many consider to be a safe treatment for the emergence of wrinkles generated through muscle movement. Derived from a toxin found in cultured bacteria, anti-wrinkle injections are used in doses small enough to preclude the recipient from having systemic challenges. When the procedure is administered, the anti-wrinkle injections are placed into the muscles that are causing the emergence of wrinkles. (To attest to the safety of these small doses, proponents of anti-wrinkle injections state that much more potent doses are administered to children for the treatment of movement disorders. These large doses are safe, they say.)
Once you gain a basic understanding of what anti-wrinkle injections are, it is important that you consider several frequently asked questions about them. One question that people often ask is if the administering of anti-wrinkle injections will cause an individual to lose some or all movement and expression in the face. According to proponents of the procedure, the latest trends in the treatment allow the recipient to retain movement in parts of the face. This amounts to the individual maintaining an animated and refreshed appearance. While anti-wrinkle injections will result in you no longer being able to frown, they will permit that you laugh, smile, and look surprised.
Although anti-wrinkle injections have many benefits, there are several drawbacks that may make one want to pursue a more natural form of treatment. For example, anti-wrinkle injections usually last for about 4 months. After that point, the lines begin to return. And while the minimization of wrinkles tends to last longer with each treatment that the recipient has, the perpetual injection of chemicals into the skin can pose problems for individuals who are uncomfortable with needles or simply do not want to continually have a surgical procedure performed.
In addition to the fact that anti-wrinkle injections require continual procedures in order to keep the appearance of fine lines minimal, the procedure can engender side effects such as headache, temporary redness, slight nausea, bruising, or swelling. One final drawback of anti-wrinkle injections is the costs. Depending on your personal financial state, you may not be able to afford the prices. A rough estimate for anti-wrinkle injections that will tackle frown lines is $300, and treating the forehead costs $150.
In recognizing some of the drawbacks of anti-wrinkle injections, individuals interested in attaining smooth skin may be interested in alternatives such as anti-wrinkle creams. Some of these creams can be very expensive and are often sold over-the-counter, making a prescription and the extra costs entailed by seeing a doctor unnecessary. Anti-wrinkle creams often work through a formula containing Vitamin A, Retinol, Vitamin E and Pro-Vitamin B5. These components work within the skin to address the site where the wrinkles develop.
Another alternative to anti-wrinkle injections is adopting a healthy diet. As many wellness experts know, the antioxidants in colourful vegetables and fruits preclude unstable molecules from doing damage to healthy cells. This is important because damaged cells generate signs of ageing, including the emergence of wrinkles.
Once one considers the viable alternatives to anti-wrinkle injections that exist, the appeal of more natural mediums through which to improve the smoothness of one’s skin increases. By adopting an alternative, one can preclude the emergence of wrinkles without paying exorbitant costs or enduring the side effects of the procedure.

To gain a deeper understanding of whether or not anti-wrinkle injections are a safe course of action for the removal of wrinkles, it is important to learn basic facts about them. In short, anti-wrinkle injections are what many consider to be a safe treatment for the emergence of wrinkles generated through muscle movement. Derived from a toxin found in cultured bacteria, anti-wrinkle injections are used in doses small enough to preclude the recipient from having systemic challenges. When the procedure is administered, the anti-wrinkle injections are placed into the muscles that are causing the emergence of wrinkles. (To attest to the safety of these small doses, proponents of anti-wrinkle injections state that much more potent doses are administered to children for the treatment of movement disorders. These large doses are safe, they say.)

Five Important things to Know about Cataracts if you are Over 60 - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Goldshield
Many patients are surprised to hear that over half of all seniors will have cataracts by the time they hit the age of 80. According to professionals who specialize in cataract surgery, cataracts can start to show up as early as age 60. Cataracts are an exceptionally common condition in which there is a “clouding” of the lens that will eventually affect one’s vision. Due to just how prevalent this eye disease is, here is a look at five important things that every senior should know about cataracts, how they can be delayed, and what can be done to treat them.
Your Demographic Is At the Highest Risk
One of the first and most important things that seniors should remember is that their demographic is at the highest risk of developing cataracts. Most specialists say that it is not so much a question of if a senior will develop cataracts, but when will they develop cataracts, and how far the condition will progress. Other demographics at a higher risk include women, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and those with a family history of cataracts.
There Are Different Types of Cataracts
Most seniors will develop age-related cataracts or “secondary” cataracts, but there are actually five different types of this condition. Age cataracts are simply a weakening of the eyes and exposure to the elements while secondary cataracts are the result of other medical problems like diabetes. There is also congenital cataracts that occur at or before birth, radiation cataracts after extended exposure to radiation, and traumatic cataracts that can occur when there is damage to the eye or the soft tissue around the eye.
The Symptoms May Be So Subtle That You Do Not Notice Them
Another extremely important fact to remember is that the side effects of cataracts, especially in the earliest stages, may be completely undetectable to the patient. One’s vision may only diminish ever so slightly, and this means that many will not know that they have cataracts for years on end. Primarily, seniors should pay attention to situations in which they feel as if there vision or eye comfort has been recently affected. This may include difficulty seeing at night, blurring around bright lights, streaks coming off of lights, eye glasses that are no longer working well, and any discomfort from contacts or around the eye in general.
Early Detection is Imperative
In some instances, cataracts do not need to be removed right away and a doctor may only suggest that the other steps are taken to prevent the cataracts from worsening. That being said, catching them in the early stages will make treatment much easier. When cataracts are not affecting a senior’s ability to see, they may be able to reduce the side effects and slow the condition with nothing more than changing their medication, or using prescription eye drops.
You Can Still Delay Cataracts
It is never too late to think that cataracts have progressed to the point that they are untreatable or the only solution is surgery. When caught early on, seniors can often go for years by only making minor changes to their lifestyle. This begins by protecting your eyes from the sun with sunglasses and hats. Smoking and drinking should also be avoided, and an overall healthy diet filled with leafy greens can also slow cataracts or prevent them altogether.
Speaking with a vision specialist and regularly having one’s eyesight checked is the absolute best method of delaying and treating this condition. The longer that cataracts are allowed to develop, the more severe your vision loss will become, and the higher their risk will be for going completely blind. This is especially important information to remember for the millions of seniors that develop this condition each and every year.

Embracing Change - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda
Sometimes in life we feel ‘This is it. I am what I am now, I can’t change and neither can my life’. Did you know this is just a statement generated by your thoughts, governed by your mind and translated into words for you to act on? To go forward, you have to go a little backwards first to do a bit of mending. If you carry on going forward with the same amount of negative baggage then the chances are that neither you nor your life will change.
So how do you go about going back to mend? Just becoming aware of why things are the way they are is half of the healing done. Most of the time, people feel lost because they don’t know how to go forward only because they don’t know how they got here in the first place. When you don’t know why you are worried, you can’t stop worrying. Once you have understood what is worrying you, you can then go on to deal with it.
Many compounding factors can make you get to a point where you feel things cannot change. A major one is the significant adults around you when you were growing – when the mind is developing it soaks up everything like a sponge and starts forming a non-tangible belief system. Everything you hear and see will have impact throughout your life if not dealt with on time. Negative role models within the significant adults in your childhood have a negative impact on your growing up, and this will inevitably have a profound impact on all areas of your life. We learn behaviour from these significant adults, we learn how to deal with matters, we learn our speech and interaction and above all they are the main generators behind our early confidence. The self-esteem built at childhood will remain your platform for the future and if the groundwork is not secured in its construction period, it will result in an insecurity that is susceptible to wear and tear and will not tolerate emotional disaster.
The first step to making peace with your past is recognition; recognise where there was negative input in your childhood, which may still affect you now. Whatever happened, whatever was said at that time was perceived by a childhood mind; look at it now with an adult mind. There was nothing you could do to change it then, but you have full control over what you want to change now. So it’s about looking back in the past but making the change in you, now. The past is done and dusted but the here-and-now is still here and waiting for you to take that first step of changing the negativity ingrained in you by others. That was their negative moulding, that they had no control over, that was perpetuated to impact on others’ lives. They are the ones you should feel sorry for, those who could not recognise this negative trait to make a change. But you are in a stronger position, wanting to make a change… so look back, forgive, make peace, embrace the change and move forward.

How to Start the Healing Process after a Traumatic Relationship - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellbeing
When people hear the word trauma, they might first think of war veterans or violent natural disasters. But an abusive relationship also causes significant trauma. If the traumatic feelings aren’t dealt with, lifelong emotional and social consequences might follow.
After trauma, the human body and mind often revert to a more simplistic form for a time. People refer to this phenomenon as shock, feeling numb, or even feeling dead inside. This is a nervous system safety feature, locking out extraneous material to protect you from overstimulation. For true healing to take place, however, the trauma victim must eventually move past this stage.
If you recently ended a traumatic relationship, read on for some tips to help you begin the journey from numbness and fear, to meaningful feelings and relationships.
Know That You’re Normal
You might feel ashamed of your feelings. A misguided friend or family member might ask why you can’t “just get over it”. You need to know that traumatic experiences are real, and moving past trauma is tough. When you allow fear and misinformation to take over, you won’t search for real, helpful steps toward healing.
Yes, everyday offenses like a rude coworker or an impatient store clerk go away quickly once you leave the situation. But the trauma after a truly terrible relationship won’t heal on its own. Most trauma happens unexpectedly, repeatedly, or from someone in a position of trust. An abusive relationship just so happens to involve all three of these elements.
You’re normal. Your pain is real, but with proper healing you can overcome it.
Interact With the World
Your first instinct after a traumatic relationship might be to isolate yourself and pull out of any interpersonal interactions. Having time to yourself isn’t inherently a bad thing, but too much seclusion from the world will ultimately prevent the healing process.
Reach out to a trusted family member or friend about the ordeal. Despite the pain and discomfort that comes with discussing your relationship, you will eventually find more peace and understanding after having a chance to talk about the issue. Try to respect your friends’ own boundaries as well, and if you notice they seem tired of the topic, change the conversation for a bit. You can always return to it later.
If your traumatic relationship involved physical or sexual abuse, a local support group can offer additional encouragement. They might also provide valuable opinions on legal options, like hiring a sex crimes defense attorney, and other information if necessary.
Get involved in the world. Stay busy. Talk to people. Develop safe, new relationships with others.
Continue Your Journey
The first couple steps toward recovery will get you on the right path. You might have setbacks and painful waves of emotions, but with time you will heal and feel normal again. Keep track of your emotional wellbeing, and always take care of your mind.
While on the journey to healing, remember to take care of your physical body as well. This will help you to continue and not get bogged down by the complications of poor physical health. Try to set up a regular sleep schedule, eat well, and exercise regularly. Avoid alcohol or drugs if you can, which act as band aid solutions and slow true recuperation.
Left foot. Right foot. One step at a time, you will heal and end up a stronger, more empathetic person.

Hooked on Uppers: How Methamphetamine Ruins Your Body - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Goldshield
Perhaps you have a loved one or acquaintance who struggles with a methamphetamine addiction. Or maybe you struggle with this substance yourself. In any case, someone in your life faces a difficult challenge. Methamphetamine has seriously adverse effects on the body, and it could land its users in legal trouble as well.
The information below outlines the short-term, long-term, and legal consequences of methamphetamine use. Keep this information in mind so you can help yourself or someone you love.
The Short-Term Physical Effects of Meth Use
Methamphetamine starts causing permanent damage the moment it enters the body. However, it doesn’t have a dramatic effect right away—other than the euphoric high it creates.
But you will notice a few of these other effects the first time you or your friend or family member use meth:
– Loss of or change in appetite
– Feelings of nausea
– Increase in heart rate and blood pressure
– Increase in body temperature, or hyperthermia
– Significant pupil dilation
– Difficulty sleeping or change in sleeping patterns
– Bizarre or violent behavior, especially while high
– Hallucinations, both small or significant
– Hyperactivity
– Panic attacks and paranoia
– Convulsions and seizures (but only after taking high doses)
Methamphetamine users also go through stages after they dose, and one of the most notable stages is the tweaking stage. During the tweaking stage, users lose their sense of identity. They also feel compulsively itchy, and some feel as if they have bugs crawling under their skin. These sensations lead to repetitive scratching. And the tweaking stage only becomes worse as the addiction progresses.
The Long-Term Physical Effects of Meth Use
As mentioned above, methamphetamines cause permanent damage as soon as they get into the lungs or the bloodstream. As that damage spreads, it causes more serious problems than those outlined above. Long-term methamphetamine use instigates:
– Apathy toward hygiene, food, sleep, people, and other aspects of life
– Damaged blood vessels in the heart and brain that could cause heart attack or stoke
– Brain damage, much like a stroke
– Tissue damage in the liver, kidneys, and lungs
– Nose and throat tissue damage if the drug is inhaled
– Malnutrition from severe lack of appetite
– Tooth decay
– Disorientation
– Disorientation, psychosis, and hallucinations
– Strong psychological dependence
– Depression
Methamphetamines do not have a forgiving effect on the body. Nor will they boost a person’s legal or social standing. So if you or someone you love suffers from an addiction to this substance, you need to get assistance from someone who can help you break away from this dependence.
The Legal Consequences of Meth Use
Every state in the country has laws against the sale and possession of methamphetamines. If you or a family member faces any of these charges, you need legal assistance so you can overcome this hurdle and begin healing. Research defense lawyers or a firm in your area so you have guidance and support throughout this difficult process.
Many people despair over the terrifying strength of a methamphetamine addiction, but there is hope. If you or someone close to you is struggling with meth use, consider professional services in the form of addiction clinics, therapists, and health professionals.

Sunscreen: What Should You Be Aware Of? - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Sanda
Sunscreen is something that you should use generously and according to the label directions, and if you choose a good one it will serve you well as a great skin protector. There are so many sunscreens on the market now that choosing one can be daunting, but once you’re aware of the prime ingredients to be on the lookout for it will seem far easier. Begin by remembering the bigger picture – sunscreen is there to protect your skin from the damaging effects of the sun, but there are certain elements of good sun safety that should never be overlooked. For example, you should avoid the sun during peak hours, which generally fall between 10am and 2pm. These hours are prime for the sun’s potency and the UV rays are especially harsh during this time. You should also wear protective clothing, including a wide brimmed hat and sunglasses. Lastly, always wear sunscreen – this should be applied generously and reapplied throughout the day. Research has never shown a connection between wearing sunscreen and an increase in the risk of skin cancer, and most experts have never claimed that this rumour is true. However, there have been studies which suggest that sunscreen can reduce the risk of melanoma – the most serious form of skin cancer.
There are two types of UV light, UVA and UVB, which can both cause damage to the skin. A broad-spectrum sunscreen can protect you from both. UVA rays are responsible for premature ageing, whilst UVB rays burn your skin. Too much exposure of either one will increase your chances of developing skin cancer. You should aim to find a protective sunscreen that shields your skin from the effects of the sun. SPF stands for sun protection factor, which is an indicator as to how well the lotion deflects the UVB rays. It is calculated by how long it would take for the sun to burn the skin if it has been treated with the lotion, compared to bare skin. In theory, the higher the number the more protection you have. However, it isn’t that easy and most people are unaware of this. Even when applied correctly, an SPF 30 only provides slightly more protection than SPF 15 – it isn’t double as many people think. There are two forms of sunscreen, organic and inorganic. The former use active ingredients to absorb the UV radiation and convert it into a small amount of heat. Inorganic sunscreens are also called physical sunscreens, and work by reflecting the radiation. The type of sunscreen you use is whichever works best for you, and you can normally find types that specifically target certain body areas. For example, a spray may work better for areas such as the scalp, whereas a cream could be beneficial to drier areas such as the face.
The most important thing to remember is that the amount of sunscreen you use is imperative. Most people don’t apply enough, so the protection you receive suffers. Aim to use a blob the size of a 50p coin on your arms and legs, and one the size of a 20p coin for your face. As previously stated, you should also protect your skin with clothes and a hat. If you go swimming, you need to reapply when you get out – even sunscreens that are advertised as waterproof need to be reapplied once you’ve dried off, as they won’t remain protective. You should also reapply more regularly if you’re on sand or standing on a concrete surface, as these will reflect the light and increase the risk of burning.

It is calculated by how long it would take for the sun to burn the skin if it has been treated with the lotion, compared to bare skin. In theory, the higher the number the more protection you have. However, it isn’t that easy and most people are unaware of this. Even when applied correctly, an SPF 30 only provides slightly more protection than SPF 15 – it isn’t double as many people think. There are two forms of sunscreen, organic and inorganic. The former use active ingredients to absorb the UV radiation and convert it into a small amount of heat. Inorganic sunscreens are also called physical sunscreens, and work by reflecting the radiation. The type of sunscreen you use is whichever works best for you, and you can normally find types that specifically target certain body areas. For example, a spray may work better for areas such as the scalp, whereas a cream could be beneficial to drier areas such as the face.
The most important thing to remember is that the amount of sunscreen you use is imperative. Most people don’t apply enough, so the protection you receive suffers. Aim to use a blob the size of a 50p coin on your arms and legs, and one the size of a 20p coin for your face. As previously stated, you should also protect your skin with clothes and a hat. If you go swimming, you need to reapply when you get out – even sunscreens that are advertised as waterproof need to be reapplied once you’ve dried off, as they won’t remain protective. You should also reapply more regularly if you’re on sand or standing on a concrete surface, as these will reflect the light and increase the risk of burning.

How to Avoid the Main Causes of Skin Ageing - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Wellbeing
Age isn’t the only factor that can affect how old your skin looks. Skin ageing is down to lots of different factors and how you look after yourself in your 20s could influence your appearance, making it important to think about wellness from a young age if you want to keep looking youthful.
Sunny side
The sun can be damaging because UV rays affect the way that collagen in your skin is produced. This is the substance that gives your face muscle tone and a lot of premature ageing is down to the sun’s rays. You can protect yourself from the damaging effects of UV by making sure you wear lotions that contain a SPF. Putting it on all exposed areas, especially around the delicate eye area can cut your sun exposure, as can staying out of direct sunlight from 10a.m – 3p.m.
Think healthy
Smoking, drinking and lack of exercise can affect our skin, as well as our general wellbeing. The dehydrating effect of alcohol can make lines seem deeper and smoking introduces toxins into our body that can disrupt circulation so skin appears dull. Getting rid of or reducing vices and introducing a healthy diet can make you look and feel great.
Sleep well
Sleep has an anti-ageing, rejuvenating effect on our bodies and that includes skin. Regular, undisturbed sleep for at least seven to eight hours is an effective way to get rid of dark circles, eye bags and a general tired appearance. Invest in ear plugs, and sleeping masks if you need to and blackout blinds can stop you waking early.
Don’t stress
Stresses and strains can overload your system by draining you of energy. Skin can become haggard and lose its vitality as you try to cope with stressful events. If you regularly feel affected by these kinds of events then taking time out to do calming activities – like yoga and meditation – can help you feel more relaxed and give you back your zest, as well as protecting your skin.

Raid Your Fridge for the Best Skin and Hair Care Products - Ajit Patel UK, Ajit Patel Goldshield
Did you know that that anti-aging remedies you are looking for could be in your kitchen cupboards? If you want to improve your natural wellness and wellbeing, you don’t have to be shelling out thousands of pounds on surgery or buying the most expensive products on the shelves at the beauty store, you just have to have a bit of a rummage in your very own kitchen.
Some items are common knowledge – such as cucumber slices over the eyes to help reduce their puffiness, but there are a number of other products that you may not be aware of that can do just as good a job (if not better) than any store-bought product.
Oatmeal is one such product. Colloidal oatmeal – or regular oatmeal popped in a blender and made into a powder – can be put in the bath to help relieve eczema, a condition that causes dry and itchy skin. It can also be used to treat other itchy skin conditions, such as chicken pox.
It’s best for mild cases of eczema only and is not medicinal, so if your eczema is severe it’s best to talk to your doctor and get something stronger. For mild cases, though, it can replace topical anti-itch creams such as hydrocortisone.
Yoghurt is also a fantastic product and can help to cleanse and smooth your complexion. Try making up a face mask using honey and plain yoghurt and then applying it straight onto your skin. Leave for around 15 – 20 minutes and then rinse off again. This can be used instead of all kinds of cleansing or skin conditioning treatments and shop bought face masks.
Avocado is also a great product, and can be used to condition or strengthen your hair. Mix it with mayonnaise or use it on its own to make your hair soft and beautifully shiny.

Can You Eat To Beat Ageing? - Ajit Patel UK
Sales of anti-ageing cosmetics are at an all-time high as we wage war against the signs of getting older. Taking the lead from nature, these beauty lotions and potions read more like a grocery list with everything from green tea, pomegranate and lemon zest infused into them.
However, applying creams and cleansers to your skin’s surface is no substitute for eating and drinking foods that will heal, nurture, repair and rejuvenate your skin from the inside out. Nutrition plays a huge role in limiting the ageing process and protecting against damage from UV rays and other environmental and lifestyle factors.
Your skin tells us the state of your internal environment so the clearer, brighter, suppler, glowing complexion you have – the younger, healthier internal vital organs are likely to be. Specific nutrients help to prevent harm to your cells and tissues including your skin, whilst hydrating your complexion and keeping your skin cells functioning optimally. Including these in your daily diet will go a long way in the prevention and reduction of wrinkles, as well as a healthier, more energetic, younger you.
Lean Protein – provides your body with the building blocks for replenishing collagen, the main supporting structure of the skin, to help guard against fine lines and wrinkles. Eating the right type of healthy, lean protein, organic eggs, skinless chicken and turkey, oily fish are great choices.
Omega 3s – are essential fatty acids that suppress the inflammatory responses occurring when skin is exposed to sunlight which lead to collagen degradation. Aim to eat oily fish like salmon, tuna, mackerel, herring, sardines and trout two to four times a week. Walnuts, flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, chia and hemp are also great sources to add to the diet.
Vitamin C – is vital for collagen production. It is also a powerful antioxidant that quenches free radicals – unstable atoms and molecules that damage your cells and DNA. Those with higher vitamin C intakes have fewer wrinkles and less dry skin. As Citrus fruits, bell peppers, tomatoes, kale, broccoli, dark leafy greens, peas and berries like cranberry, blueberry, blackberries and pomegranate are all great sources.
Organic Whole Grains – provide slow-releasing energy to stabilise blood sugar, and are an excellent source of fibre, which improves elimination of toxins. Whole grains also provide health-boosting nutrients such as selenium, which helps to protect the skin from UV damage. Brown rice, rolled or steel cut oats, spelt, whole wheat, buckwheat, quinoa and barley are great to introduce to your menu plan. Eliminate refined grains like white rice, white flour breads, pasta and cakes which raise insulin levels and promote the inflammation that can damage your skin.
Eat a Rainbow of Fruit and Vegetables – whose different colours are caused by powerful, antioxidant phytonutrients. Chlorophyll, for instance, is responsible for green foods, lycopene gives tomatoes and watermelon their red colour and beta-carotene gives an orange hue to mangoes, sweet potatoes and many other produce. Smoothies and fresh juices are great ways to get rich doses of these anti-ageing nutrients so experiment outside of your comfort zone by, for example, adding kale, beetroot, carrot, fresh mint, coriander, parsley and spinach to juices and smoothies. Combining avocado with fresh fruits and vegetables also increases the absorption of phytonutrients like lutein, beta-carotene and alpha-carotene.

One Year Older: How to Stop the Worst Effects of Aging - Ajit Patel UK
As the years wear on, you start to feel it in your bones, your energy levels, and even see it in your physical appearance. Inflammation and skin problems begin to become more prevalent, but there are things the ordinary person can do to thwart Mother Nature and reduce common side effects associated with age. Nutrition, exercise, and proper health care can all keep you looking younger well into old age and stave off the effects of premature aging.
Foods That Reduce Inflammation
Eat more foods rich in Omega-3 fatty acids like salmon, olive oil, avocado, flaxseed oil, and flax seeds. These foods are known to reduce inflammation and can help your skin maintain a soft, young, and supple look. Avoid foods like margarine, vegetable oil, red meat, white bread, and other ultra-refined sugary foods. These foods create inflammation that can lead to an accelerated rate of wrinkle formation. If you can’t get enough Omega-3fatty acids through natural sources, consider adding a high-quality, pure fish oil supplement to your diet.
Fruits and Vegetables
The simplest things are often the healthiest for you. Eat more produce to ensure you get enough zinc, selenium, beta carotene, and vitamin C in your diet. Avocados, red bell peppers, and carrots provide good natural sources of these nutrients. While you may consider using a supplement, it’s still better to get most of your daily nutritional needs through the right foods. For those who can’t stomach large amounts of vegetables, consider getting a juicer to drink your veggies. While you won’t get the fiber, many of the other vital nutrients are still absorbed through the body when you juice. Fruits and vegetables protect against free radicals and aid in the production of collagen. This helps to keep your skin firm and health and resist the effects of aging.
Protein Matters
Recent studies have shown that people who don’t get enough protein in their diet may have a higher rate of wrinkles, cracks in the skin, and even muscle tears. Lean sources of protein are the best sources, and you should aim to include eggs, lean beef, chicken, poultry or beans in each meal. If you don’t want to include meat and fish products in your diet, add tofu and soy fortified to help maintain a sufficient level of protein intake. The Genemedics Health Institute has done studies on hormone deficiencies and hormone replacement therapy in older people, and have found protein may be part of helping your hormones stay in balance as well.
Exercise Your Body
One of the best ways to feel youthful and energetic is by including exercise in your weekly routine. Don’t overdo it, or you may find that the exercise is actually making you even more tired and worn down. The American Heart Association recommends at least 30 minutes of aerobic activity at least five times per week. Do activities like swimming, yoga, and biking to preserve your joints and have less impact on your body.
Feeling younger isn’t all face creams and makeup. You must take care of your body in the right ways so you feel your best for as long as possible. Eat the right foods, get enough exercise and go into your doctor’s office for regular checkups. Aging doesn’t have to be a long terrible ordeal, as long as you’re prepared and start the right healthy habits now.

Five Foods to Improve and Prolong Eye Health -Ajit Patel UK
As a kid, you probably heard the old myth that carrots would help you see in the dark. While that’s not entirely true, the fact does remain that certain foods are beneficial to your vision and overall eye health. Read on for the scoop on five foods that you should eat if you want to improve and prolong the longevity of your vision and the health of your eyes.
Fish
This is particularly true for fatty fish like salmon, tuna, and mackerel, which are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These compounds help to prevent dry eyes, macular degeneration, and cataracts. If you don’t like fish, you can get similar benefits with an omega-3 supplement.
Spinach, Kale, and Leafy Greens
These ingredients are chock full of the antioxidants lutein and zeaxanthin, which reduce your risk of age related eye diseases such as macular degeneration and cataracts. They also help protect your eyes from the effects of the sun and air pollution. You’ll also find plenty of these antioxidants in broccoli, peas, and avocado.
Carrots and Orange Veggies
While they might not help you see in the dark, carrots do contain plenty of beta carotene, which is converted into vision-assisting vitamin A when consumed. In addition to carrots, this healthy vitamin is found in large doses in sweet potatoes and pumpkin, as well as in the above-mentioned spinach and greens.
Eggs
This excellent protein source is also a great source of both lutein and vitamin A as well as zinc, which helps prevent macular degeneration. Eating eggs can help promote eye health and prevent eye disease. However, it’s important to eat the yolk to get these benefits. If you’re concerned about cholesterol, be sure to combine this ingredient with plenty of fruits and veggies (hold the bacon).
Grapefruit, Citrus, and Strawberries
Foods that are packed with vitamin C are great bets for eye health. The antioxidants these fruits provide help keep your eyes healthy as you age. In addition to these fruits, you can also munch on papaya, brussels sprouts, oranges, and green peppers for maximum benefits.
The great news is that most of these foods to promote eye health, also help keep the rest of your body healthy as well. If you notice any troublesome vision symptoms, be sure to visit a Calgary optometrist at a Crowfoot vision centre right away. He or she can help diagnose your issues, and recommend ways to keep your eyes healthy for the long haul.

Food for Thought: What Your Diet Says About Your Health - Ajit Patel UK
When it comes to food, there are so many delicious options to choose from. Delicious, however, does not necessarily mean nutritious. The types of food you eat, as well as the amount can play a major role in determining how healthy you are. If you are interested in staying as healthy as possible, it is important to closely examine your diet to ensure the foods you are eating are optimal for keeping your body in top shape.
What Kinds of Food are Healthy?
In order to get the most out of your daily diet, it is important you choose the right foods. Eat plenty of fruits and vegetables as this is associated with many long-term health benefits. A diet that is high in whole-grain foods can have similar benefits. Limiting your intake of fatty meats is also a good idea. Fat intake in general should be kept to a minimum, especially saturated fat. Foods that are high in added sugar can also be unhealthy for you.
How Much is Too Much?
Aside from watching your intake of saturated fat and added sugars, it is also a good idea to keep an eye on how many calories you are eating in a day. Your body needs a certain amount depending on factors like your age, height and activity level. If you are eating more than your body needs, you are probably damaging your health. Weight loss is a goal that many people share, and restricting your calorie intake is the most effective way to achieve it.
Dangers of an Unhealthy Diet
There are many health issues associated with not eating right. Heart disease is linked to high saturated fat intake. Certain cancers are associated with not getting enough fiber through foods such as grains, fruits and vegetables. And many people who do not eat enough healthy foods report feeling unwell in general. Losing excess weight can really boost your overall happiness and wellbeing.
Your body is a delicate machine, and it needs the right kind of fuel in order to operate at its best. When you decide you are going to make changes to your diet in order to eat for long-term health, you are doing your body a favor that it is sure to thank you for throughout the rest of your life.

100 is the New 70: How to Live Much Longer - Ajit Patel UK
Who has time to get older these days with all of the new technology and options offered? People are living healthier, longer, and more fulfilling lives. 100 is the new 70, but you don’t achieve constant youth from yelling, YOLO. It takes awareness and commitment to specific action.
No Carcinogens
How would you like to live ten years longer and have better-looking skin? Quit smoking. Aside from the serious threat of cancer, carcinogens wrinkle the skin, stain the teeth, and make us feel less athletic.
Also, stay away from harmful sun rays. If you spend more than fifteen minutes outside, then you need to layer sun block on your face and body for protection. Don’t avoid the sun altogether; it’s an excellent source of Vitamin D.
Eat and Drink Better
Drinking eight glasses of water per day is not something healthy people do; they do it because it makes them healthy. Make a conscious effort to eat better foods and drink plenty of water.
Avoid simple carbohydrates like white rice and white bread. Carbohydrates cause insulin levels to rise and has been associated to breast cancer in menopausal women.
Avoid Indulgence
Too much of anything is not good. Temper vices such as pizza, chocolate, and alcohol, and eradicate harmful addictions and habits to drugs and alcohol abuse. If you can’t quit harmful habits on your own, then seek help from others.
Long term addiction treatment centers house the resources and personnel that help others work through addictions and achieve a healthier lifestyle. Coffee, aspirin, and other ‘needs’ are also drugs. Become independent of dependencies and lead a longer life.
Consume Antioxidants
Green and black teas are good for the body, though green tea is less processed. The teas lower the risk of heart attack and cancer, increase energy, and facilitate metabolic rate and weight loss. Health advocates suggest consuming about five cups of green tea per day.
Dark chocolate benefits the heart and arteries. Get chocolate containing 60% or more of unprocessed cocoa. Some choose to stay away from alcoholic beverages yet a glass of red wine supports a healthy heart and staying young longer.
Stay Safe
It seems obvious, yet those who are diligent in keeping themselves out of harm’s way lead longer and healthier lives. This includes looking both ways before crossing,wearing a seat belt, and staying away from high crime areas and suspicious people.
Staying safe involves prevention and regular yearly checkups. A professional doctor helps identify threats to health early, so there is less threat to leading a longer life.
Exercise Regularly
Health becomes a lifestyle and not a fad for those who live longer. Exercise becomes a daily regimen, whether it’s weight lifting, walking, jogging, cleaning, yoga, etc. Walking as little as two miles per day cuts the risk of death in half!
Choose an activity that brings you enjoyment rather than one associated with work. Exercising and living healthy can be fun and everlasting. 100 is the new 70 as healthy people are finding more ways to get older while staying younger.

Also, stay away from harmful sun rays. If you spend more than fifteen minutes outside, then you need to layer sun block on your face and body for protection. Don’t avoid the sun altogether; it’s an excellent source of Vitamin D.
Eat and Drink Better
Drinking eight glasses of water per day is not something healthy people do; they do it because it makes them healthy. Make a conscious effort to eat better foods and drink plenty of water.
Avoid simple carbohydrates like white rice and white bread. Carbohydrates cause insulin levels to rise and has been associated to breast cancer in menopausal women.
Avoid Indulgence
Too much of anything is not good. Temper vices such as pizza, chocolate, and alcohol, and eradicate harmful addictions and habits to drugs and alcohol abuse. If you can’t quit harmful habits on your own, then seek help from others.
Long term addiction treatment centers house the resources and personnel that help others work through addictions and achieve a healthier lifestyle. Coffee, aspirin, and other ‘needs’ are also drugs. Become independent of dependencies and lead a longer life.
Consume Antioxidants
Green and black teas are good for the body, though green tea is less processed. The teas lower the risk of heart attack and cancer, increase energy, and facilitate metabolic rate and weight loss. Health advocates suggest consuming about five cups of green tea per day.
Dark chocolate benefits the heart and arteries. Get chocolate containing 60% or more of unprocessed cocoa. Some choose to stay away from alcoholic beverages yet a glass of red wine supports a healthy heart and staying young longer.
Stay Safe
It seems obvious, yet those who are diligent in keeping themselves out of harm’s way lead longer and healthier lives. This includes looking both ways before crossing,wearing a seat belt, and staying away from high crime areas and suspicious people.
Staying safe involves prevention and regular yearly checkups. A professional doctor helps identify threats to health early, so there is less threat to leading a longer life.
Exercise Regularly
Health becomes a lifestyle and not a fad for those who live longer. Exercise becomes a daily regimen, whether it’s weight lifting, walking, jogging, cleaning, yoga, etc. Walking as little as two miles per day cuts the risk of death in half!
Choose an activity that brings you enjoyment rather than one associated with work. Exercising and living healthy can be fun and everlasting. 100 is the new 70 as healthy people are finding more ways to get older while staying younger.

7 Secrets to Looking Younger - Ajit Patel UK
Many women over 40 complain that it was so much easier to look fabulous when they were younger. Well, you can’t help getting older, but you can still look fresh and young-looking at any age.
Looking younger isn’t just about wrinkle reduction or tight skin; it’s what happens when you take care of yourself and how you present yourself to the world. So if you want to look youthful, vibrant, and full of life, here are seven secrets to follow.
1. Exercise
You’ve heard about it, but have you started doing it? Regular exercises can very well make you look years younger. Don’t worry, you don’t have to spend the whole day sweating out. All you need is 30-60 minutes a day of simple exercises and you’re good. Try brisk walking, jogging, or aerobics. As you move your body, you’re not only releasing repressed anxiety, you’re also promoting circulation and ridding your body of toxins that make you look old.
2. Get enough sleep
Do yourself a favour and give your body enough time for shut-eye. Sleeping allows our body to restore worn out tissues and renew damaged cells. People who lack sleep look less attractive because of eye bags, dark circles around the eyes, and dry skin. Sleeping is a very healthy activity and we should get lots of it. If you think you lack sleep during night time, take a 30-minute power nap.
3. Load up on fruits
…and vegetables too. Fruits and veggies contain nutrients that have been shown to posses sun-protecting, skin-hydrating, and wrinkle protecting powers. If you want to have young and radiant skin with lesser spending, indulge in fruits that contain antioxidants to protect and repair your skin. Fruits rich in Vitamin C is also known to keep the wrinkles away. Food rich in fibre can help your body regulate sugar levels and stabilize body systems over time. Remember, you are what you eat.
4. Drink water
Have at least 2 litres of fluids per day. Aside from losing weight, drinking enough water a day is good for your skin and overall health. Research shows that drinking water carries nutrients to your cells, combats dehydration, provides a moist environment for the tissues in the nose, ear, and throat, and flushes out toxins out of the vital organs. Hydration gives the skin a healthier and more youthful look. To ensure clear and safe drinking water at home, have drinking water systems installed.
5. Meditate
In today’s fast-paced environment, we hardly get the time to take a break from our busy schedule to do nothing. However, stress is a major factor that can make you age faster than usual. Find time and a comfortable spot to meditate and think about positive things. In addition, learn relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises to help you clear your mind.
6. Choose the right hairstyle
Are you still sporting the same hairstyle you had some 10 years ago? Keeping the same hairstyle can age you. Go to the salon for a new hairstyle. Sounds scary? It sure is, but it’s a great way to get a younger look. Also, the wrong hair can also make you age faster. Bangs are also a great option if you want to hide forehead wrinkles. Find the style that best suits you.
7. Smile
Want an instant facelift? Smile! A smile will instantly lift the skin and cheeks giving a brighter and fresher look. It also improves your appearance and puts people around you at ease. Have a positive outlook and keep smiling to stay young!

Many pharmacists began their journey into the field of medicine , after which they began cultivating the experience and knowledge necessary to know exactly which products to prescribe to clients in order to smooth those painful cracks.
Sleep
If you’re doing an at-home regimen for your skin, take a close look at what type of lotion you’re using. If one of the first ingredients is alcohol, it could be that is contributing to your dry skin.

When the Wind Blows - Ajit Patel UK
When we think of how the weather can adversely affect our health, we usually think of the damage caused by the sun. But when the weather turns cold and blustery, bitter winds can also have a negative effect – causing everything from earache to chapped lips.
Of course, windy weather is no reason to avoid going outdoors. In fact getting out and about on a blustery day can be invigorating and energising. So here are some tips to keep you comfortable in windy weather:
Earache
Some people find that windy conditions can cause earaches. Even on a warm day, if you are moving quickly, such as when jogging or cycling, you may find that the breeze created can lead to ear pain. If wind affects you in this way, make sure you always have a hat with you – a woolly one for winter and a lightweight version for warmer weather.
Chapped Lips
When you are out and about in strong winds, the delicate skin on your lips can quickly become chapped. You can treat chapped lips with stick treatments or ointments from the chemist. However the best way to avoid chapped lips is to use a protective lip balm containing petroleum or beeswax – this will create a barrier to protect lips from the wind whilst sealing in moisture.
Dry Skin
Cold, dry, windy conditions can lead to windburn – an irritation of the skin which is usually red and sore. It’s quite common for people who participate in winter sports such as skiing to develop windburn. You can treat the symptoms by regularly applying a moisturiser – choose an unscented version to avoid further irritation.

4 Ways You Can Tighten Your Skin and Look Younger- Ajit Patel UK
A person may style up in fine feather, but a quick mirror glimpse of turkey neck can pluck self-esteem from all but the hardiest bird. A lot of techniques purport to iron out wrinkles, transform turkey neck and even bring bat-wing arms in for a landing. Take a look at a few options that are the most popular methods for tightening your skin and looking younger.
Radiofrequency Treatment to Turn Back TimeThermage is a brand name for an FDA-approved, non-invasive system that uses radiofrequency waves to tighten skin tissue. Thermage is performed by a clinician using a hand-held piece with a flat, smooth tip delivering the radiofrequency waves, which gently heat the deeper layers of skin. This safe procedure can potentially stimulate collagen already present and causes new collagen to grow, firming, plumping and smoothing skin for a more youthful appearance.
Thermage is said to be used safely on most body parts, diminishing or improving the appearance of stretch marks and firming loose, wrinkled abdominal, thigh and buttock skin. A cluster of celebrities have found Thermage to be the Real Deal, among them Demi Moore and super-model Linda Evangelista.
Cellular Rejuvenation with ASEA Cellular rejuvenation is most often sold in the form of a serum but ASEA is a perfect blend of Redox Signaling Molecules suspended in a saline solution. Some products contain adult stem cell technology which can be a foreign to your body but ASEA is specially crafted to help your cells rejuvenate faster. The growth factors, delivered through a saline solution, penetrate the cells and allow natural body processes to create proteins such as elastin and collagen. These matrix proteins are the framework beneath skin structure and can seriously help revitalize your skin.
Using Facial Exercises to Tighten SkinFacial exercises have long been considered controversial, and many have poo-pooed the idea. But why wouldn’t they work? If exercise tightens flabby thighs, why wouldn’t it tighten a flabby face? In fact, some say it does! The muscles of your face form its foundation, the strong structure beneath the collagen and elastin fibers. If the facial muscles lose tone, so does the face. In fact, the muscle tone in your face begins to sag with age right along with the muscles in your body!
Exercising in general can do much to tighten flabby skin and firm muscles throughout the body. Exercise, fluid intake and proper diet can oxygenate skin and stimulate collagen growth, as well as hydrate, tighten and plump the facial skin.

- What kind of results can be expected? – Dr. Rita Rakus, Thermage practitioner, explains: “Approximately 5% of patients may see a clinical response immediately on the day of treatment; the majority will see a clinical response between 4-12 weeks with the clinical end result being seen as long as 12 months. Because it can take up to six months for the clinical end result to be observed you should not have another treatment before this time.”
- Does Thermage require multiple treatments? – Usually, a single treatment will produce a noticeable result that will improve for several months. However, each patient has individual needs and a qualified practitioner can give a professional assessment.
- What’s the down time? – Returning to regular activities immediately is the norm. Some people may experience a slight reddening after treatment, similar to a windburn. The redness disappears quickly.

These matrix proteins are the framework beneath skin structure and can seriously help revitalize your skin.
- What are the results of using cellular rejuvenation? – Fine lines and wrinkles are diminished, the skin appears more youthful, luminous, firm and smooth. Moderate skin improvements can be seen within a few weeks, but persistent use for three months is usually necessary for damaged or aging skin to improve visibly. It is recommended that the Redox Signaling Molecule solution be ingested in small amounts once or twice daily. Take a look at these ASEA reviews to see what people are saying about this exciting product!
- How does it work? – A completely painless procedure using very fine needles is applied to the skin. The natural, electrical currents produced by this contact stimulate cellular energy and encourage the production of elastin and collagen, which are the framework beneath the skin. Five bi-weekly treatments are recommended to produce results. Skin is reported to be tighter, more delicate and soft with less wrinkling. Deep lines are diminished and even a clearing or reduction of age spots has been reported.

In fact, the muscle tone in your face begins to sag with age right along with the muscles in your body!
- How does it work? – Some exercise mentors and beauty experts are convinced that facial exercises work, and work for them. Plastic and cosmetic surgeon Dr. Francis Palmer touts the effectiveness of facial exercises and recommends certain of them to his clients. In fact, in 2009 he wrote a book called, ‘What’s Your Number: The Palmer Code.’ In the book he claims that facial exercises for the eye area, neck and cheeks firm up the underlying muscles in these areas and promote greater elasticity and firmness, which is the holy grail for skin improvement.
Exercising in general can do much to tighten flabby skin and firm muscles throughout the body. Exercise, fluid intake and proper diet can oxygenate skin and stimulate collagen growth, as well as hydrate, tighten and plump the facial skin.

Six Everyday Ways to Give Yourself a Better Complexion - Ajit Patel UK
Your skin makes up an important part of your anti-ageing wellness, but how do you keep it looking young and fresh? We’ve rounded up a few wellness experts to share their top tips for improving your complexion:
1. Consider Your Water: According to Susan H. Weinkle, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the University of South Florida, ‘Soft water doesn’t remove soap well, so it can leave a residue on your skin.’ Therefore, if you live in an area with soft water, you should only use a small amount of face and body cleansers. If you live in an area with hard water, on the other hand, Chicago-based dermatologist Carolyn Jacob recommends that you use gentle, non-soap formulas that aren’t meant to lather. This is because hard water prompts you to use even more cleanser, which can cause dryness.
2. Drink Green Tea: Florida-based dermatologist Andrea Cambio points out, ‘If your complexion is red or blotchy, this tea’s anti-inflammatory properties can be soothing. Iced is best because hot beverages can worsen redness and other symptoms of rosacea.’ Wellness expert Stacy Colino explains, ‘The epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) in green tea may help prevent the collagen destruction that leads to wrinkles as well as sun-induced DNA damage in the skin (think lines and discoloration).’
3. Keep Stress Under Control: Colino details, ‘In a study conducted at Stanford University, researchers found that during exam time, students who felt stressed had more severe acne breakouts than did those under less pressure. That’s because stress increases the body’s production of hormones such as cortisol, which can make skin oilier and decrease its ability to fight off acne-causing bacteria.’ To help you keep that frazzled feeling in check, Lisa Donofrio, an associate clinical professor of dermatology at the Yale University School of Medicine, advises that you regularly practice stress-management techniques, like yoga, deep breathing, and meditation. She notes that this ‘can help conditions such as acne, psoriasis, rosacea, and seborrhoea.’
4. Improve Your Air Quality: ‘Just being around smoke can lead to the release of free radicals that damage skin and hasten ageing,’ says Diane S. Berson, an assistant clinical professor of dermatology at the Weill Medical College of Cornell University, in New York City. Colino adds, ‘Change the air filter in your furnace regularly, and if you cook with oil, use the fan over your range. Also keep in mind that dry indoor air can dehydrate skin and make fine lines more noticeable. Run a humidifier in your bedroom to minimise these problems.’
5. Watch Sun Exposure Indoors: ‘UV rays (in particular UVA rays) can penetrate the windows in your home and office and cause wrinkling and brown spots,’ Colino warns. ‘The same goes for car windows: Studies have found higher rates of skin cancers on the left side of the face and upper body than on the right, since that side is more exposed when you’re driving.’
6. Watch Your Dairy Intake: Colino outlines, ‘Research from the Harvard School of Public Health found that teenage girls who consume a lot of milk are almost 30% more likely to have acne than those who drink less, and experts believe the same holds true for adult women prone to serious breakouts. Surprisingly, skimmed milk seems to be a worse offender than whole milk. Scientists don’t understand exactly why milk products can lead to acne, but some surmise that the natural hormones present in dairy may be to blame…While cutting back on dairy won’t solve a pimple problem single-handedly, it may make a difference for those who suffer severe breakouts.’

Tricks To Help Your Skin Survive The Winter - Ajit Patel UK
Winter is the worst time for the wellness of your skin. The cold air, coupled with the dehydration of the central heating, cause all kinds of problems with your skin’s wellbeing, and this can pay all kinds of havoc with your anti-aging routine.
Fortunately, there are ways that you can stay young and glowing even when the mercury drops. One of the best things that you can do is swap any products that you use that have petroleum in them for ones that are made from plant-based oils. These have all kinds of vitamins and antioxidants in them, to help maintain the skin and nourish it throughout the winter. Not only this, but plant-based oils penetrate the skin both quickly and deeply and provide a longer-lasting form of hydration. Whilst petroleum-based oils can help to protect the skin from extreme weather conditions and wind, it also prevents the skin from breathing properly and can leady to inflammation, breakouts and dehydration.
The skin on your scalp is particularly vulnerable during the winter time. The cold temperatures often lead to irritated, parched skin, dry scalp and brittle hair. If you want to fight thee, opt for natural body washes and soaps and make sure you choose a shampoo that is free of synthetic surfactants such as sodium lauryl sulphate. These are responsible for the cleansing of your hair and the lathering action, but because they are synthetic they tend to be a lot more harsh than natural ones, and they can strip away the natural oils present in your skin and hair, leading to overly dry, static hair and skin.
You should also increase your night-time rituals to help your skin repair and protect itself overnight. Make sure that you include nourishing moisturisers and hydrating serums at night.

Top 5 Ways to Stay Forever Young - Ajit Patel UK
The aging process is not something we can avoid forever, or at least not until medical science comes up with some new strategies to keep old age at bay. Of course there is nothing wrong with getting older and many people manage to do exactly that with grace, but what happens if you are not ready to grow old and wrinkly? If this sounds like you, here are the top five ways to stay looking as young as possible, for as long as possible.
Eat a Healthy DietWe are what we eat and the best way to beat the aging process is to stay away from unhealthy junk food. Nutrition plays a big part in the way we look. You probably know all too well what happens if you eat badly for a few days – yes, your skin breaks out and before long you look dreadful. Well you don’t need to become a Gwyneth Paltrow convert to enjoy age-defying skin, but consuming nutritious foods such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains will certainly help the cause.
Take Regular ExerciseExercise is good for our health and wellbeing. Vigorous exercise gets the heart pumping and the blood flowing, which in turn helps to flush toxins from our body. Regular exercise keeps our mental faculties in good working order. It also releases powerful endorphins, which makes us feel happy and contented. And a happy person has less wrinkles and lines because they don’t feel the need to frown all the time.
Stay Out of the SunNothing damages the skin more than excessive exposure to sunlight. The trouble is that when you are young, having a healthy suntan is viewed as a desirable trait. Unfortunately, as the aging process unfolds, skin that looked great in your twenties and thirties soon starts to age a lot quicker than the skin of people who stayed out of the sun. So do your skin a favour and slap factor 50 on it the moment the sun comes out.
Have Cosmetic SurgeryCelebrities are fully in favour of cosmetic surgery once they start to look a bit old. Not all of them will admit to having ‘work’ done, but if you want your face and décolletage to look plump and youthful once again, it is the fastest way to do it. Botox is popular; as is a smartx laser resurfacing skin treatment or two. But if you want to go the whole nine yards, book a facelift.
Hang Out with Younger PeopleThere is a lot to be said for hanging out with the younger crowd if you want to avoid feeling old beyond your years. This is probably the reason why older men and women often prefer dating people much younger than themselves. If you spend your time with younger people, you will dress younger and act younger, so although you might not look much younger, people will assume you are younger!
Age is all a state of mind; so start thinking like a 20 something and hopefully your face and body will get the memo.

How Can Exercise Help You Turn Back the Biological Clock? - Ajit Patel UK
You could fork out hundreds of pounds a year on anti-ageing pills and creams, or even thousands on cosmetic surgery, laser ablation and botox, but they cannot come close to the wellness benefits attained from a regular heart-pumping, well-planned exercise routine. They say that beauty is only skin deep, but ageing isn’t and exercise benefits both the inner and outer ageing processes.
You have two ages: there’s your chronological age, which is calculated form the day you were born and the number of years you have lived; and your biological or “real” age, which means the current condition of your physiological body at the basic cellular level. So while you may have turned 30 on your last birthday, your body and mind is in its 40s due to inadequately conditioned muscles, lethargy, problems being overweight or underweight and deficient lean body mass. Being young chronologically, but way beyond your years physiologically, may also increase your risk of degenerative lifestyle-related diseases like diabetes and hypertension.
On the other hand, you may be knocking on for 45 chronologically, but have a biological age of 25 in terms of energy, stamina, strength, mind power and pure joie de vivre. You may be lucky, and have good genes that determine your biological age. However, environment and lifestyle choices are the final predictors of the ageing process. Even good genes won’t save you from rapid internal ageing if you subject your body to stressors like tobacco, alcohol and drugs, and poor lifestyle choices like unhealthy food, lack of exercise and sleep.
So this is where exercise comes in. You can lower your biological age by having a regular fitness routine that includes some cardiovascular activity like, running, speed walking, cycling or aerobic sessions. This should be balanced with adequate strength and muscle building to really access the fountain of youth. Plus, as your flexibility decreases with age, you should keep your body limber with modalities like yoga and simple stretches. These also help to prevent pain and poor posture due to muscle imbalance. Exercise isn’t the be-all and end-all of anti-ageing wellness, but it provides the basis for other beneficial behaviours, such as a Mediterranean diet, stress-relieving techniques, adequate sleep, a strong network of family and friends, and learning new skills.

Whistling and Smiling: Do They Cause or Combat Wrinkles? - Ajit Patel UK
If you’re concerned about wrinkles or deep-set facial lines, then you may want to give up whistling. Plastic surgeons have claimed that, alongside smoking, whistling is bad for the muscles around your face. Frequent whistling causes the muscles to strain into an unusual position, and creates lines around the mouth. The puckering motion made in order to whistle can cause folding and indentation on the surface of the skin and weaken collagen. Particularly as you get older, the skin gets weaker and more prone to damage, causing wrinkles. But whistling is not the sole culprit of facial lines. Smiling and frowning are known to cause them, with some facial lines being termed ‘smile lines’ or ‘frown lines’. Even kissing can cause wrinkles, with a similar puckering motion of the lips and cheeks that whistling requires. This makes it seem almost impossible to avoid these lines, and if you are truly determined to avoid any wrinkles as you age, then the only certain way to do so is to avoid moving your facial muscles at all.
Of course, such a thing is impossible and laughing, whistling and kissing are pleasurable activities that can boost mental and physical wellbeing. As such, they can help skin remain young and healthy due to increased hormone regulation and blood circulation. With this line of thinking, and contradicting the suggestion that moving your facial muscles causes wrinkles, it has been argued that actively exercising facial muscles can decrease the number of fine lines as you get older. This is due to the elastic collagen in skin and muscles becoming more flexible as it is regularly stretched and exercised, and the increased blood circulation bringing more oxygen to the skin.
Thus the claim that whistling causes wrinkles faces some contention – it is true that regular whistling may cause wrinkles, but regular facial exercise through smiling and laughing can help combat the negative effects of aging and skin damage. So don’t ban whistling just yet, especially if it causes you to smile after.

Improve Your Health With These Anti-Ageing Drinks - Ajit Patel UK
We can’t help ageing – it’s an inevitability. However, there are some things we can do to improve our health and how we look for years to come. Your diet plays a big part in the speed at which your skin and organs age, and these drinks are loaded with nutrients to give your body an extra boost.
Pink grapefruit
Pink grapefruits are packed with lycopene, which is a carotenoid which can give you smoother skin. Researchers carried out a recent study that showed that those with higher concentrations of lycopene had smoother skin.
Alcohol
In moderate doses (which is one glass a day for women and two daily drinks for men), alcohol could help to ward off dementia and Alzheimer’s disease. Brain cells die as we age which leads to gaps that slow down the nerve transmission within the brain. Research suggests that moderate drinking can prevent these gaps from appearing, though they don’t know why. However, it’s a fine line – higher doses can have the reverse effect and actually killbrain cells, so don’t overdo it.
Cocoa
Cocoa can lower your risk of heart disease and preserve the healthy function of blood vessels, as it is packed with flavanols. You should aim to keep the blood vessels healthy as these lower the risk of high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, kidney disease and dementia.
Beetroot juice
Beetroot contains nitrates which could be beneficial to your health, as they boost your blood flow and keep the blood vessels supple. These can help to prevent dementia, by maintaining a healthy blood flow to the brain.
Green tea
Green tea is loaded with antioxidants which are great for your skin and general health, but many people don’t know that they can also quell inflammation. Type 2 diabetes, autoimmune diseases and heart disease are all made worse by inflammation, so green tea can be a great dietary preventative.

Six Tips for Improving Your Health as you Age - Ajit Patel UK
As people age, they become more vulnerable to a number of health problems. Besides the fact that the body isn’t working as efficiently as it once did, the negative effects of unhealthy lifestyle habits begin to increase. In order to live a long, healthy life, it’s important to start focusing on your health right now. Here are six tips for improving your health as you age.
Get More Exercise
Scientific research has only begun to discover the vast benefits of exercise for health and ageing. It has been shown to increase resistance to common conditions like cancer, heart disease and diabetes. Exercise has even been found to not only reduce stress but also its negative effects. Furthermore, exercising regularly can help slow down the ageing process, keep joints in good condition and help maintain essential muscle mass.
Get Better Sleep
During sleep, your body takes the opportunity to carry out its most intensive repair and maintenance functions. This is accomplished by releasing a cocktail of hormones, such as human growth hormone, that rebuild cartilage, produce brain cells and create energy. It’s generally recommended people get eight hours of uninterrupted sleep each night, but many older people may find they require a little more.
Kick the Junk Food Habit
Junk food got its name for a good reason. These foods provide little real nutrition and are often packed with refined carbohydrates, chemicals and too many calories. In addition, they are usually enriched with cheap synthetic vitamins that are hard for the body to absorb and use. Studies have shown that eating a diet rich in junk foods can speed up ageing, cause inflammation, promote disease and lead to weight gain. If you want to get healthy, you should eat only foods that are fresh and wholesome.
Play Video Games
If you’ve scoffed at playing video games, you might be surprised to learn they help the brain stay young. Several studies have discovered people who play video games enjoy sharper cognitive ability, better executive function and quicker mental reaction time. They can also help you improve your visual acuity and enhance your environmental awareness.
Strength Training
Levels of hormones decrease with age, leading to symptoms like low energy, dwindling muscle, flagging libido and mood problems. However, training with weights can bring hormone levels back to an acceptable level for both men and women, according to a Richmond in home care facility.
Take a Multivitamin
The body’s ability to absorb adequate nutrition from food become less efficient with age. Naturally, this inefficiency can lead to nutrient deficiencies, which cause other problems. For that reason, it’s recommended you take a quality adult multivitamin designed to fit the needs of your gender and age group. Besides providing anything that is missing, multivitamins also enhance your ability to absorb nutrients from food sources.

Oil Have Some of That: Why Should You Use Oils? - Ajit Patel UK
Putting oil on your face seems like the less favourable option to using anti-ageing creams, because you’re worried that your skin will end up looking and feeling oily. However, putting oil on your face can actually make you less oily. The key thing to remember is moderation; you only need a few drops. According to Julie Longyear of Blissoma, an organic skin care company based in St. Louis, your skin produces oil but sometimes it needs a little help.
Natural oil can sooth that tight, dry feeling you get after a dip in the pool or the irritation you have after spending hours in the sun. Also, the scant amount of oil you apply fills in spaces between decaying cells in your skin, and seeps into crevices below the skin’s surface to actually plump your epidermis. As you age, your body’s own supply of oil diminishes, so your skin can look dull and lifeless.
We’ve rounded up a few oils for you to consider:

- Ren Clean Skincare Bio Retinoid Anti-Ageing Concentrate – This contains some exotic ingredients such as retinoid analogue extracted from Brazilian white Beggar’s stick flower and vitamin A from Andean musk rose seed oil. It’s a little bit thick but sinks in quickly, and you can use a bottle in about three months.
- Ole Henriksen Pure Truth Youth Activating Oil – This great-smelling oil contains organic rosehip seed oil mixed with tangerine peel oil, lemongrass and natural Vitamin E.
- Nude ProGenius Treatment Oil – The formula for this oil contains components of omegas 3, 6, 7, and 9, plus a blend of 10 plant oils, including apricot kernel oil and various seed oils. Nude ProGenius Treatment Oil has a very light sheer feel.
- Hourglass No. 28 Lip Treatment Oil – If you want to start small, this pricey version of a lip balm contains a blend of 28 essential oils, plant oils and vitamins.
- Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil – This oil works to firm your skin due to its fresh-scented blend of plant extracts and oils including flowers, rosemary and rosewood. It takes 30 seconds for your palms to feel soft and oil free, but use Clarins Tonic Body Treatment Oil on your body, rather than your face.

Stay Safe in the Sun: Six Skincare Tips to Implement Today - Ajit Patel UK
Your skin says a lot about your lifestyle. It’s the first thing others see when they look at you, and it’s paramount to how good you look. Your skin is important, and you should treat it like it’s important. When you learn to implement some skin safety tips into your everyday beauty routine, you will look younger longer.
Never Sleep in Your Makeup
It can be tempting to fall face first into your bed after a long day of travel or dealing with sick children, but you have to take the time to wash your face. Leaving your makeup on all night clogs your pores, and all the dirt, grime, and germs from the day can cause breakouts.
Wear Sunscreen
Wearing sunscreen is something you need to do every single day for the health of your skin. Even if you are not planning to spend time outside, your skin is still exposed to the sun’s dangerous UV rays through car, home, and office windows. A dermatologist in San Diego recommends applying sunscreen each day.
Get 8 Solid
Your skin suffers a great deal from lack of sleep. It loses moisture, puffs up, and looks older when you don’t get enough sleep. To help yourself look and feel better, rearrange your sleep schedule so that you get at least 8 solid hours of sleep every night.
Prevent Wrinkles
Wearing sunscreen when you’re outside is great, but it won’t protect you from wrinkles. Sun exposure is the number one cause of wrinkles in men and women, which means you need to do more to protect your face. It’s time to put on that floppy hat and those over sized sunglasses and protect your face.
Discard Old Makeup
Makeup comes with an expiration date. Just like the food in your kitchen, your makeup is only good for so long. Using it past its expiration date is not good for your skin. A good rule of thumb is to keep anything liquid no longer than six months. Powdered makeup is good for approximately one year. Check the expiration date on your makeup.
Wash Brushes
Take the time to wash your makeup brushes at least once a week. All the germs and dirt in those things are only causing damage to your skin with each use. Make sure they’re clean and sanitary before you do some major damage.
Looking young and gorgeous isn’t hard if you implement these six skin care rules this summer. Your skin will thank you for it, and your future self will appreciate her reflection when she looks into the mirror. The decisions you make today will affect you tomorrow.

Makeover Magic: Five Steps to Looking Fresh in Your Forties - Ajit Patel UK
It’s already fairly sickening when you see actresses like Cameron Diaz or Gwenyth Paltrow effortlessly float up and down the red carpet, looking stunning, but when you realise that they’re both in their 40s, you can’t help but think; “how do they do it?” Your 40s is the first time you really start to think about anti-ageing wellness, and the best place to start is with your skin.
The skin around the eyes is the first to show signs of ageing, but fortunately make-up can help your skin look younger and fresher. You may not have your own team of beauty experts like Cameron and Gwenyth, but you can still apply make-up in a way that makes the skin and features of your face appear more youthful. Remember, it all comes down to the selection of make-up cosmetics and appropriate colours, but here are a few extra tips to set you in the right direction.
1. Pluck superfluous hair around the eyebrows before you apply make-up, and use a light, moisturising lotion. Then use a concealer for obvious age spots or blemishes.
2. Light, matte, creamy foundations should become your new best friend, as your skin becomes drier with age. There’s a bit of a skill to applying foundation which comes with trial and error. First, apply a foundation which is lighter than your normal skin colour over any dark spots or patches. Then, put your main foundation over your whole face – the colour of the main foundation should be as close to your natural skin tone as possible.
3. Don’t overdo it with the loose powder, as powder tends to settle in the lines on the skin. You’re trying to achieve a softer look, so use some cotton wool to dust off excess powder.
4. Black can be a harsh colour on older skin, so soften up your look with brown eye pencils or liners, or try applying brown shadow over black eyeliner. Lighter, softer colours are crucial in maintaining a younger look.
5. For lips, avoid very light or very dark colours, and use a lip pencil in the same shade as your lipstick to give more regularity to your lips. Use the pencil first to redefine the shape of your lips, and then use a lipstick brush to fill in the colour.

Don’t Let Age Hold You Back – 6 Ways to Keeping a Younger Look - Ajit Patel UK
Age is inevitable, but aging well is something that requires more than just celebrating another birthday. If you want to keep the years from showing, here are the best six ways to keep that youthful glow.
Eat More Fat
Fat has always been the bane of diets everywhere, but did you know that fat is actually essential for a healthy body? Along with maintaining healthy bones and reducing wrinkles, fats keep your skin beautifully healthy. Get these by either eating more fish and nuts or taking an Omega supplement.
Exercise
Working out for even 20 minutes per day is enough to help you lose weight, tone your body and otherwise feel great about yourself. Its health benefits also translate to Alzheimer’s prevention. Run, walk, swim or jog. Just make sure it’s something you love doing.
Pamper Your Skin
While gravity can’t be forever negated, the typical signs of aging are caused mainly by a lessening of nutrients in the face. Along with regular spa treatments, cosmetic work, laser rejuvenation and regular supplement-rich face masks, you can keep the dark spots and wrinkles at bay. To see what would work best for your skin, it may be wise to speak with a specialist, like Dermatologist Dr. Ted Lain.
Train Your Brain
Just because your brain is inside doesn’t mean it doesn’t have an effect on your appearance. After all, a huge part of looking younger is all about how sharp your gaze is. To keep this honed, engage in mental gymnastics with puzzles, video games and other stimulants.
Stress Less
We’ve all seen the effects of a stressful situation on a person. They start off looking young and come back with 10 years added to their appearance. This is because stress accelerates aging by causing spikes in blood pressure. The best way to beat this? Meditate. Knowing how to calm yourself down prevents the onset of early aging.
Drink Water
Overly sugared, highly caffeinated beverages, even in diet form, sap water from your body. Water, however, is what gives your skin a healthy glow and keeps under eye circles at bay. Be sure to drink at least eight glasses per day for maximum rejuvenation.
Don’t simply let age happen without doing your best to keep looking young. From watching what you eat to covering your face in the best vitamins and minerals, a dedicated routine is exactly what you need to look and feel young at any age.

Eat More Fat
Fat has always been the bane of diets everywhere, but did you know that fat is actually essential for a healthy body? Along with maintaining healthy bones and reducing wrinkles, fats keep your skin beautifully healthy. Get these by either eating more fish and nuts or taking an Omega supplement.
Exercise
Working out for even 20 minutes per day is enough to help you lose weight, tone your body and otherwise feel great about yourself. Its health benefits also translate to Alzheimer’s prevention. Run, walk, swim or jog. Just make sure it’s something you love doing.
Pamper Your Skin

Healthy Ageing: Are Your Wrinkles Telling You Something? - Ajit Patel UK
When your anti-ageing wellness goes awry, you may think it’s nothing more than a sign you’re growing older. However, those facial lines, tired eyes, or unwanted body hairs could indicate something is amiss with your overall wellbeing, and could, in fact, signal some serious underlying health concerns. According to integrative medicine specialist Molly M. Roberts, MD, president of the American Holistic Medical Association, ‘It’ll start by whispering, then it’ll start talking, and, if you don’t pay attention, it’ll start yelling and shouting, and then you’ve got an illness.’ So which beauty signs indicate a major wellness warning?
1. Swollen feet: If your shoes feel a little snug these days, it may indicate a physical injury, sprain or strain. Other conditions, such as infections, pregnancy, obesity, and certain medications may also cause fluid retention in your lower extremities, causing them to balloon. However, the serious condition to watch out for is heart failure, as your heart’s poor pumping action may be causing your feet, legs and ankles to retaining fluid and swell.
2. Tired eyes: Typically, those under-eye bags and dark circles indicate nothing more than a few too may late nights. However, if you’re sleeping like a log but your eyes indicate you’re working like a dog (cue the “Hard Day’s Night” melody in your head) you might want to take a look at your diet. In the thin, loose skin that sits below your bottom eyelid, fluid build-up can cause eye bags and puffiness. This can occur due to a plethora of factors, from allergies to crying, but one of the main culprits is salt, especially if you have a high quantity in your diet. Foods that are high in sodium encourage your body to retain water, especially in the sensitive under-eye area.
3. Dry skin: You usually have nothing to worry about with dry skin. Everyone gets it at some point from the wintry air or an overly hot shower, and it’s nothing more than a minor nuisance. In some cases, though, dry and brittle skin is a sign that you’re dehydrated or have an underlying health problem. If you have a poor diet or an eating disorder, the nutrient deficiency this causes can leach moisture from your skin, as can health conditions like hyperthyroidism or diabetes. If your skin is dry particularly on your feet, legs and shins, it may be a sign of atherosclerosis – the narrowing of arteries that leads to heart disease. This is because the tiny arteries that carry blood to your extremities become blocked, which deprives your skin of oxygen and thereby produces dry, shiny patches.
4. Body hair: I don’t know of many women who want body hair on their face, chest, stomach, back, hands, or feet, but the problem is more than an aesthetic embarrassment. Hair where you don’t want it can be a sign of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) in women of childbearing age. More than 70% of PCOS sufferers have hirsutism, or excess hair growth, and many women with PCOS are at risk of becoming infertile or having infrequent, irregular, or absent periods.
5. Wrinkles: Again, no one wants wrinkles – though they are inevitable – but surprising new research suggests that wrinkles may be a sign of osteoporosis. If you’re brow is furrowed and you’ve spotted grooves around your mouth, the study showed an association between wrinkles and bone health in early-menopausal women. The worse your wrinkles are, the greater your risk is for a low bone density. Excessive exposure to cigarette smoke or the sun can speed the wrinkling process along, so avoid these things to avoid fine lines and possible bone loss.

The Anti-Aging Treatments That Could Kill You - Ajit Patel UK
Could your desire for the latest anti-aging product and the newest treatments actually be putting you in danger? A new study has shown that people prioritise their wellness and wellbeing behind their desire to look good on many occasions.
A trip to a spa or salon should, of course, be about a bit of pampering, and helping you to relax and feel beautiful, but there are times when simple beauty treatments can go horribly wrong, leading to infections, scarring and sometimes even death.
Most procedures are perfectly safe, especially when carried out by a qualified doctor or technician, but that doesn’t mean that you are every truly free from risk.
Take a simple manicure or pedicure, for example – no harm there, right? Wrong. In a place where feet are soaked and calluses are buffed, it’s possible to pick up both bacterial and fungal infections, including MRSA, which is an antibiotic resistant type of bacteria. This was the case with 46-year-old Kimberley Kay Jackson who went to get a pedicure and suffered a small cut to the heel from a pumice stone. An infection occurred and the woman died of an infection. Check out the cleanliness of a salon and make sure that you are comfortable with the salon’s hygiene procedures. If you spot any signs of infection later, visit your doctor straight away.
A Brazilian Blowout is a hair straightening product line, but a recent warning by the FDA has revealed that these products contain dangerously high levels of formaldehyde, which can cause cancer. Users of these products have reported problems including nosebleeds. Chest pain, vomiting, rashes and dizziness
Botox is another risky one – there are serious side effects to the drug such as slurred speech, muscle weakness and difficulty swallowing, and they are rare but can lead to death if left untreated.

Homemade Toothpaste: Is it Really Effective, or Just for Extreme DIY-ers? - Ajit Patel UK
We are living in the age of “do-it-yourself” or DIY, and this no longer only applies to crafts and homemaking—many people love trying home remedies, and DIY heath therapies in order to save money and take a more natural approach to health. While this can be a good approach in many cases, it is often unclear whether a DIY solution is truly effective, or just a popular trend. One popular trend that has developed is to make your own toothpaste at home. While many believe this is a great way to save money and avoid mysterious ingredients from entering your body, it can be tough to know if this is truly effective. Keep reading to learn about the latest DIY trend of homemade toothpaste, and whether it holds any weight, or should be left only the extreme DIY-ers.
FluorideThe most common concern involves Sodium Fluoride, as it is the most popular ingredient in store-bought toothpaste. It’s generally assumed that Fluoride strengthens teeth and is a necessary component of proper care, an assumption supported by a plethora of mainstream publications, but it’s also a toxic waste material that may cause fluorosis, a condition that can permanently damage teeth by depleting calcium due to too much fluoride exposure.
Other DangersStore-bought toothpastes often contain other dangerous chemicals, making health-conscious consumers think twice before purchasing these products. Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, DEA, Propylene Glycol and Triclosan can be found in popular toothpaste brands, ingredients that can cause hormone disruption, eye damage, skin irritation, difficulty breathing and even cancer. To avoid these carcinogens, some folks have made the choice to “do it themselves” and create their own toothpastes at home.
Do It YourselfHealthy homemade toothpaste can be made many different ways. Some recipes consist of Stevia, Bentonite clay, baking soda, essential oil and coconut oil, while others add olive oil, honey and baking soda. There are plenty of easy recipes online that offer detailed instructions on how to make natural paste, which is helping the trend to catch on even more, as it grows in popularity every day.
Cons of DIY ToothpasteWhile the fear of too much fluoride exposure, or a distrust in commercial products might inspire you to make your own toothpaste, as with any trend, it has its pitfalls. According to Dr. David K. Skeels, a dentist in Rochester, NY there isn’t much official data on the actual health benefits of making your own toothpaste. While many DIY-ers are convinced of its effectiveness, many are still waiting for solid proof or studies to emerge in order to truly confirm that this method is in fact, effective.
Homemade toothpaste is a practical solution for anyone concerned about the health risks of store-bought brands, not just extreme “do it yourself” types. It’s cheap, easy to make and a good way to avoid dangerous chemicals. While it comes down to personal preference, it is always best to discuss any change in your oral care with your dentist to ensure that you aren’t endangering your future health. As fads and trends come and go, always seek out expert dentistry and medical help in order to avoid dangerous or ridiculous health trends that don’t hold any weight.

Staying healthy and active during menopause - Ajit Patel UK
Menopause is a transition in the life of every woman which occurs in the period between 40 and 60 years of age, although for most women in the developed world this happens sometime around 50. Unfortunately, during this period, many women experience effects that can, to a larger or lesser extent, reduce the quality of everyday life. The good news is that if you are experiencing them, there are plenty of things that you can do to stay healthy and active, regardless of the change.
Taking care of those mood swings
A relatively large percentage of menopausal women notice that their mood becomes much more prone to fluctuations than before. The hormonal balance in the body is thrown off and this often leads to dramatic mood swings which can have a detrimental effect on your everyday life. There are a number of ways in which these can be alleviated. For instance, you can take up yoga or some other form of relaxation exercise. You can also learn about meditation or take up new hobbies. Healthy diet and regular physical activity can also help elevate your mood, if needed. Still, if you experience mood issues that are too bothersome, you should definitely see a doctor.
Keeping the weight in check
Many women notice that they start gaining weight once their menopause starts. Once again, the hormonal imbalance is to blame, as well as the simple fact that you are getting older and that your metabolism is not all that it used to be. It is definitely a good idea to start eating less and more often, with emphasis on healthy and organic foods. Regular exercise will also help you fend off the pounds. Regular exercise and healthy diet will really go a long way towards helping you maintain your weight, as well as help reduce the other effects of menopause that you wish to avoid.
Not giving up on sex
There are a number of reasons why many menopausal women dramatically reduce the amount of sex they have or actually stop having it altogether. The reduction in the production of certain hormones leads to a drop in libido. The mood issues can also lead to a reduced desire for sex. In addition to this, many women experience vaginal discomfort and dryness during menopause. It is important to talk to your partner about sex and to never give up. In addition, you can always buy water-based wet lubricants that will help you with the physical problems. It is essential that they are water-based as otherwise they might exacerbate the issue.
Sleeping like a baby
Getting regular sleep is often an issue for menopausal women. Some women experience anxiety when going to sleep or simply have troubles falling asleep. The best way to remedy this is to have regular sleeping patterns and sleeping timetable. Drinking warm milk before bed works, believe it or not. It is also important to keep the bedroom dark and quiet, devoid of all distractions and technology. Never take your phone to bed with you.
In short, menopause should never be something that limits your life and something that makes you stop doing things that you love. You can do everything you love and more.

Windows to the Soul: How to Improve Your Under-Eye Area - Ajit Patel UK
If the eyes are the windows to the soul, then most of us have got very dark and puffy windowsills. When it comes to anti-ageing wellness, dark circles and bags under your eyes are a dead giveaway, and one that affects many-a-person’s wellbeing. According to dermatologist Valerie Goldburt, MD, PhD, of NYU Langone Medical Centre, ‘I hear patients voice complaints several times a day.’ However, the good news is, once you work out what your particular eye-problem is, there are some effective, wellness fixes you can try.
1. Morning-after puffy eyes: Water building up under your eyes could be due to a cold, seasonal allergy or sinus infection. Goldburt explains, ‘We have the thinnest skin around our eyes, so it’s the area that’s most influenced by the in-and-out flow of fluids.’ Another reason for puffy eyes might be that you ate too much salty food last night, or cried a lot. Goldburt clarifies, ‘Water always travels from areas in the body where there’s low salt concentration to tissues where there’s more salt.’ If your puffy eyes are due to hay fever or colds, over-the-counter medications, such as neti pots, will probably sort your eyes out. Sleeping on your back with an extra pillow under your head also encourages the water not to collect in your eyes. Goldburt says, ‘The earlier you start changing your sleep position, the better, because after a few years under-eye bags can became permanent.’
2. Dark Circles: Unlike puffy eyes, dark circles are often not temporary or caused by something in your life. Rather, pigmentary issues are often inherited, and the natural ageing process also contribute to dark circles as the skin around your eye becomes thinner and exposes the tiny blood vessels that lie just below. That said, New York makeup artist Kimara Ahnert asserts that you can still do something about it. Choose a concealer than matches your skin tone and, if you have mild discoloration, make sure you pick a liquid formula. For more prominent shadows, coverage with a cream or cake concealer is best, just pat the concealer on lightly from the inner corner of your eye to just past the outer corner. Joseph Eviatar, MD, a New York ophthalmic plastic surgeon, notes that dark circles caused by extremely thin skin are ‘really difficult to treat, [but] eye creams that contain caffeine may help a bit because they constrict the underlying blood vessels.’
3. General quick fixes: If you just generally want more youthful-looking eyes, start by quitting smoking and applying sun cream to your eye area on a daily basis. Both smoking and exposure to UV rays weaken your collagen production, which causes premature wrinkling and sagging. Another top tip from Goldburt is to apply a moisturiser to your eye area every night. ‘You don’t need to spend a lot,’ Goldburt assures. ‘Almost any drugstore moisturiser will provide the hydration you need.’ However, Goldburt’s number one tip is to use a prescription retinoic acid – the vitamin A cream that goes by the generic name tretinoin – as part of your daily skin care regimen. According to Goldburt, ‘It’s the single best thing you can use to prevent wrinkles and improve existing lines.’ Brent Moelleken, MD, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, adds ‘We have patients who swear by’ using a haemorrhoid cream on puffy eyes. ‘But we suggest a retinol eye cream instead.’ If all else fails, why not try the classic, cheap options of placing cold spoons, slices of cucumbers, chilled tea bags, or even a package of frozen peas under your eyes. The cool temperatures – rather than any special properties of cucumbers or peas – reduce swelling.

Joseph Eviatar, MD, a New York ophthalmic plastic surgeon, notes that dark circles caused by extremely thin skin are ‘really difficult to treat, [but] eye creams that contain caffeine may help a bit because they constrict the underlying blood vessels.’
3. General quick fixes: If you just generally want more youthful-looking eyes, start by quitting smoking and applying sun cream to your eye area on a daily basis. Both smoking and exposure to UV rays weaken your collagen production, which causes premature wrinkling and sagging. Another top tip from Goldburt is to apply a moisturiser to your eye area every night. ‘You don’t need to spend a lot,’ Goldburt assures. ‘Almost any drugstore moisturiser will provide the hydration you need.’ However, Goldburt’s number one tip is to use a prescription retinoic acid – the vitamin A cream that goes by the generic name tretinoin – as part of your daily skin care regimen. According to Goldburt, ‘It’s the single best thing you can use to prevent wrinkles and improve existing lines.’ Brent Moelleken, MD, a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon, adds ‘We have patients who swear by’ using a haemorrhoid cream on puffy eyes. ‘But we suggest a retinol eye cream instead.’ If all else fails, why not try the classic, cheap options of placing cold spoons, slices of cucumbers, chilled tea bags, or even a package of frozen peas under your eyes. The cool temperatures – rather than any special properties of cucumbers or peas – reduce swelling.

There are certain products and supplements that can improve your health and possibly even help you live a longer life. When choosing health supplements, you should take a close look at the evidence and check out any reviews that are available. The following five products are among the most promising if you’re seeking better health and more energy.
1. Chaga
Although chaga is a type of mushroom that grows directly out of trees. It has been used for centuries in Asia for healing and longevity and is just starting to become popular in the West. It’s extremely dense nutritionally, providing many vitamins, minerals and powerful antioxidants. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as a longevity agent. It benefits are recognized by the Moscow Medical Academy of Science. Chaga can be taken as a food, an herbal supplement or made into a tea.
2. Apple Cider Vinegar
Apple cider vinegar is not an exotic or expensive food, but not everyone is familiar with its many health benefits. Among other things, taking this super food on a regular basis can strengthen your immune system, kill many types of harmful bacteria and lower your blood sugar. For the latter reason, it can be beneficial for diabetics. Apple cider vinegar may also be helpful for weight loss. Best of all, you don’t have to take large amounts of it. Taking one or two tablespoons per day is all you need. It can be taken directly or mixed with water and a sweetener, such as honey. It can also be applied topically for the skin and hair.
3. ASEA Redox Supplement
ASEA is a company that makes a unique product called ASEA Redox Supplement. This is a type of water that has been designed to help the body maintain the ideal balance of redox signaling molecules. These are the molecules that help the body combat the effects of stress, boosts the efficiency of the body’s antioxidants and protects the body from damage done by free radicals. ASEA is a type of water that has been specially treated to alter the structure of molecules in a way that supports optimum health. This is a fairly new product and if you want to learn more about it you can find many Asea reviews online.
4. Resveratrol
Resveratrol is the antioxidant found in red wine, grapes, blueberries and other plants and fruits. It is also widely available as a supplement.

Taking resveratrol in capsule form is good for people who don’t want to consume alcohol. It also ensures that you are taking a consistent dosage.
5. Fish Oil
Fish oil provides healthy omega-3 fatty acids. This is helpful for heart health as well as for keeping the joints and bones strong. You can get the benefits of this from eating seafood, but most people find it more convenient to take a fish oil supplement to ensure they are getting enough of these essential fatty acids. One thing to be careful about nowadays is the source of the fish, as many waters are polluted. Krill oil is often the purest type of fish oil supplement.
Supplements can help you enjoy a healthier and more vital way of life. There are many choices when it comes to health supplements, so you should always do your own research before choosing something. You should also pay attention to the results you get as your own body is the best judge of whether or not something really works.

Positive View On Aging May Help Recovery From Severe Disability - Ajit UK
Quoted by Medical News Today:”New research from the US finds that older people who have a positive view on aging are more likely to recover from severe disability than those who hold negative stereotypes about being older. It calls for more studies to investigate whether promoting positive age stereotypes extends independent living later in life.
Reporting in JAMA this week, the researchers, from Yale School of Public Health, say their study is the first to examine the link between positive age stereotypes and recovery from disability in older persons.
Lead author Becca R. Levy is associate professor of epidemiology (chronic diseases) and of psychology, and is also director of the School’s division of social and behavioral sciences. She tells the press in a statement that the findings suggest “how the old view their aging process could have an effect on how they experience it”.
“In previous studies, we have found that older individuals with positive age stereotypes tend to show lower cardiovascular response to stress and they tend to engage in healthier activities, which may help to explain our current findings,” she adds.
She and her colleagues explain in their background information how few studies have looked at why some older people recover from disability and others do not.
“We considered a new culture-based explanatory factor: age stereotypes (defined as beliefs about old people as a category),” they write.
For their study, they compared participants with different views of aging, categorizing them as having either a positive stereotype or a negative stereotype. Altogether there were 598 individuals, all at least aged 70, and free of disability at the start of the study, which covered about 11 years. They were members of a health plan in greater New Haven, Connecticut.
From March 1998 to December 2008, the participants were interviewed monthly, and they also underwent home-based assessment every 18 months.
The researchers based their measure of recovery on participants being able to carry out four activities of daily living (ADLs): bathing, dressing, moving from a chair, and walking. Doing well in these activities is linked to lower use of healthcare and longevity
They assessed age stereotypes from responses to the question, “when you think of old persons, what are the first 5 words or phrases that come to mind?”
They scored the responses from 1 for the most negative (eg “decrepit”), to 5 for the most positive (eg “spry”) and then averaged them.
The researchers found participants with a positive age stereotype were 44% more likely to fully recover from severe disability than those with a negative age stereotype.
Those with a positive view on aging also showed a significantly lower rate of decline in ability to perform their daily tasks.
The researchers suggest:
“Positive age stereotypes may promote recovery from disability through several pathways: limiting cardiovascular response to stress, improving physical balance, enhancing self-efficacy, and increasing engagement in healthy behaviors.”
“Further research is needed to determine whether interventions to promote positive age stereotypes could extend independent living in later life,” they urge.”

Easy Ways to Fight Wrinkles - Ajit Patel UK
However young you may feel on the inside, wrinkles may tell another story, although there’s some simple things you can do to reduce lines on your face so your skin reflects your inner wellness.
Make-up
There are lots of products on the market designed for different skins types, even those that are beginning to show the effects of time. Browse the many products available to find those that suit your skin type. Mature women may benefit more from creamy make-up that doesn’t gather in wrinkles like powdery foundations, which can draw attention to lines.
Get Moisturising
Dry skin can look papery and wrinkled, so invest in a good moisturiser and apply it as often as needed. To target wrinkles even more, opt for creams and lotions with natural ingredients that are designed for mature skin. Nutrients like aloe vera and winter cherry extract have anti-ageing effects and can benefit all skin types.
Sleepy Head
One of the simplest ways to fight wrinkles and protect wellbeing is to sleep well and for about eight hours a night. This gives your body the chance to heal itself and has a freshening effect on your skin by reducing dark circles. Sleep can also be used to fight stress, so have some early nights if you’re been feeling anxious in the daytime.
Yes to SPF
UV rays can be damaging because they quickly penetrate the skin and may lead to premature ageing if you go out in direct sunlight without SPF on. To stay youthful get some sunscreen with an SPF of at least 15, although some experts recommend SPF 30 or above. Hats and clothing that keeps you covered can also guard against the sun’s rays.
Food and Drink
What you put in your body to reduce wrinkles is just as important as what you put on your body! So try and opt for healthy dishes and make meals that are packed with nutrients that can have anti-ageing effects. Don’t forget to stay hydrated on the inside as this will keep your skin hydrated on the outside.

How to Have a Positive Outlook on Ageing – and Live Longer! - Ajit Patel UK
The problem with the term “anti-ageing” is that it implies a sense of fear, and even anger, towards the ageing process. Everyone gets old, and everyone fears the idea of getting old. You want to feel energetic, vital and healthy, but ageing sounds like the opposite of that wellness ideal. This may be why the global anti-ageing industry is expected to exceed $290 billion by the year 2015 – we hate the thought of ageing, and will do anything to stop it.
According to Dr Aubrey de Grey, a biomedical gerontologist (study of old age) from Cambridge, who is one of the leading figures in the field of ageing, your body is like a machine or a car. It tolerates a certain amount of damage, and can be repaired every once in a while, but the damage accumulates over the years and it ceases to function as it once was. Basically, you are designed to have an expiry date – but that date is not set in stone.
Last year, researchers at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York undertook a study, published in the journal Nature, which found the answer to delaying the ageing process in a chemical in your body called NF-kB. You produce this chemical in the hypothalamus of your brain, which is where you also regulate your hormones, emotions and food intake. When NF-kB started to become more active in mice, the animals started to show signs of ageing. When the chemical was suppressed, on the other hand, the mice started to act more youthful.
However, research shows that having a positive outlook on ageing can extend life by up to 7.5 years. So, all that age fear-mongering from the anti-ageing beauty industry and the media is actually undoing all the good work that their products might achieve for your wellbeing. In his book The Blue Zones, Dan Buettner observed behaviours and habits from people who lived past 100 years, and yet still remained to be vibrant and live an active life. Here are the keys to living longer (and happier) that he discovered:
1. Keep ties with families and the community
2. Maintain a strong sense of purpose
3. Consume a densely vegetarian diet
4. Maintain a positive outlook on life

How to Eat the Right Foods to Beat the Aging Process - Ajit Patel UK
Everyone wants to look younger these days, as evidenced by the fact that the US anti-aging product market is valued at around $80 billion. Some experts are now saying, however, that to look younger all you really have to do is improve your general wellness, and that that can be done solely through the food that you eat.
Many foods contain important nutrients that can boost your wellbeing and take years off your age. There are different types of foods and varying benefits, and we’ve identified some of the best ones for you, which can be eaten in pairs as follows.
Blueberries and yoghurt are both thought to be particularly beneficial, for example. Blueberries are rich in antioxidants and are also believed to help prevent memory loss and to fight some degenerative diseases, such as high blood pressure and heart disease. Smothering your blueberries in yoghurt also keeps up your calcium levels, which helps keep your bones young and strong, and the good bacteria in live yoghurt also keeps your gut healthy and fights off age-related stomach problems.
Tomatoes and avocado can be paired together to make a nice salad which will help protect your skin from the sun and thus reduce sun damage and the aging effects of the sun. Vitamins C and A in tomatoes and E in avocados, as well as omega-3 fatty acids, help your body to repair itself and to live longer.
Garlic and fish also make a youthful combination. Garlic in particular helps to lower cholesterol and is an anti-oxidant. Fish, meanwhile, has been proved to reduce your risk of having a stroke and is packed with healthy omega-3 fatty acids.
Oatmeal for breakfast gives you a great source of soluble fibre and helps to rid your body of bad cholesterol. Drinking a glass of orange juice on the side will help you to stock up on vitamin C and beta carotene and should give you lots of energy.

How to Tell if Your Acne Treatment is Harming Your Skin - Ajit Patel UK
When it comes to your anti-ageing wellness, nothing is more important than taking care of your skin. If you suffer from acne, you might be taking using benzoyl peroxide, but you may be doing more harm than good to your wellbeing. There are a lot of benefits to the medication, but you can’t ignore the negative impact that it might have, especially where your skin is involved. The important thing to remember is to use the benzoyl peroxide as your doctor or the packaging describes, and to steer clear of it altogether if you’re pregnant or taking some other kind of medication that contains tretinoin. You also need to watch out for the side effects, and consult your doctor if any of the following occurs:
1. Dry skin: This is one of the most common side effects of benzoyl peroxide, because the medication sucks sebum out of your skin in order to reduce oiliness and acne. You can reduce the resulting dryness in your skin with a good moisturiser, just make sure that it’s water-based and oil-free.
2. Burning: This symptoms only occurs in about 2% of benzoyl peroxide users, usually because the cream contains at least 10% of the chemical, you have really sensitive skin or you’ve left it on for too long. Mild burn marks will go away by themselves, but you should let your doctor know in case this is a symptom of an allergic reaction.
3. Peeling and flaking: These kind of go hand-in-hand with dryness, and so the remedy is the same; a good, water-based moisturiser. You may be tempted to scrub your face to exfoliate your skin of flakes, but this will activate the oil-producing sebaceous glands in your skin, which will aggravate your acne. Drinking plenty of water can also help to prevent peeling, but if it gets so severe that your skin begins to crust and crack, stop using the benzoyl peroxide and consult your doctor.
4. Itching: You’re more likely to experience this symptom during the first few weeks of application of benzoyl peroxide, mainly due to a reaction with the sebum in your skin. Most people complain about itching, but a soothing moisturiser or ice should sort it out. If the itching becomes severe and accompanied by red angry rashes, consult your GP.
5. Swelling: As a less common symptom and clear indication of an allergic reaction, you should stop using the cream immediately and consult your doctor if the swelling is severe. If you don’t, you could experience dizziness, nausea and permanent damage to your skin.
6. Feeling of warmth: Often this is a sign that the benzoyl peroxide is working, so you shouldn’t worry too much if the warm feeling in the affected area goes away within a few weeks. However, if this or other symptoms persist or are aggravating with time, stop the medication and consult your doctor.
7. Tenderness: Tender skin is an early symptom, most likely brought on by other symptoms such as swelling, itching, redness and rashes. If you experience tenderness in your skin, stop using other chemical cosmetics and use a gentle moisturiser.
8. Severe allergic reactions: You should consult your doctor immediately if you experience the following symptoms, as they could be fatal if left untreated. These symptoms include swelling at the affected area, angry rashes, crusting and cracking of the skin, hives, dizziness, nausea and vomiting, swelling (in the whole face, tongue, lips and mouth), difficulty in breathing and tightness in the chest. You may be required to take prescription medication and completely stop using benzoyl peroxide.

The aloe vera content works by penetrating the layers of the skin and hydrating it from the inside out. By keeping the skin nourished, you can help to ensure a youthful complexion which is wrinkle free and full of elasticity. It also promotes the production of collagen, which helps to keep the skin supple and smooth. A natural healer and an ideal product for keeping smooth and healthy skin, aloe vera is ideal for maintaining a healthy complexion as well as fewer wrinkles and lines.

Tips for Healthier and Younger-looking Skin - Ajit Patel UK
Wrinkles and sagging skin are a normal part of aging. Our skin contains substances called collagen and elastin which provide strength and elasticity, and help skin maintain its shape. As we age our bodies don’t produce as much collagen and elastin, which causes our skin to wrinkle and sag. However, there are ways to slow down the loss of collagen and elastin for healthier and younger looking skin.
Shun the Sun
Sun is the biggest culprit in aging skin. A lifetime of sun exposure damages the cells that make collagen and elastin, and accelerates the aging process in your skin. You can protect your skin by:
· Limiting the amount of time you spend outside;
· Wearing broad spectrum sunscreen of SPF 15 or higher, and;
· Wearing protective clothing, when you are outside.
Banish the Butts and Axe the Alcohol
Cigarette smoke contributes to skin aging by promoting the breakdown of collagen in your skin. It also causes your blood vessels to construct, reducing amount of nutrients and oxygen that gets to your skin, which can also accelerate aging. The effects of smoking are most visible in the fine lines and wrinkles that form around the lips.
Alcohol has dehydrating effects which can dry out your skin and promote aging.
Carry-on with Cleansing and Maximize the Moisture
Facial cleansers remove the dirt, oil, and bacteria that can age your skin, without stripping the natural oils that keep your skin moist and supple. It’s best to use warm water, rather than hot; and to pat your skin dry, instead of rubbing. Moisturizers supplement the natural oils in your skin by sealing in the moisture that’s already in the skin, and creating a barrier against the weather and other drying elements.
All of these things can help preserve your skin and keep you looking younger longer. But there are also things you can do to help reduce any existing signs of aging.
Massage
Facial massage stimulates blood and lymph flow through your skin, and also stimulates collagen and elastin production. It can also exfoliate dead skin cells to brighten your complexion and reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
Face Lift Devices
Face lift devices pull or stretch the skin to reduce the appearance of wrinkles. They are usually work for a period of time during the day, or overnight, to train the skin into position. There are several face lift devices on the market including (non-surgical) “face lip strips.”
Anti-wrinkle Creams
Anti-wrinkle creams use substances that stimulate collagen production, or mimic the effects of collagen in your skin. These substances can include fruit acids, such as retinol or retin-A, which exfoliate the top layer of skin and stimulates collagen production. They can also include amino acids called peptides, which attract moisture to plump up the skin, reduce the appearance of wrinkles, and stimulate collagen production.
Microdermabrasion and Chemical Peels
Microdermabrasion and chemical peels remove the top layer of skin to stimulate collagen production. Although both processes are similar, they are performed differently.
Microdermabrasion uses a fine abrasive to buff away the top layer of skin, promoting new skin growth and stimulating collagen production.
Chemical peels use mild acids to remove the top layer of skin, promoting new skin growth and stimulating collagen production.
Dermal Fillers
Dermal fillers are injected into the skin to fill in wrinkle and creases. They are also used to replace lost tissue volume, such as in the lips and cheeks. There are several different types of dermal fillers, from natural to synthetic, including collagen, fat, and lab-made products like Restylane.

Top Four Safest Cosmetic Surgery Procedures - Ajit Patel UK
All surgery has inherent risks, but there are certainly cosmetic surgery procedures that have lower risks than others. Having surgical corrections on the body doesn’t have to require an in-depth and invasive surgery and with technology nowadays, patients can find safer, less invasive alternatives.
Cellulaze
Cellulite is the bane of a woman’s existence and it’s one of the most difficult things to get rid of naturally. The common misconception is that it’s a “fat” problem when in fact it’s a structural problem beneath the skin.
Cellulaze is a minimally invasive procedure where a small cannula is inserted underneath the skin and a one-of-a-kind SideLight laser increases the thickness of the skin while releasing the fibrous tissue. These fibrous bands under the skin are a huge contributor to the skin dimples associated with cellulite. The laser also blasts away the lumpy fat that pokes through those fibrous bands under the skin. This procedure only requires a local anesthetic, making the total healing time only about three weeks long.
Laser Skin Resurfacing
If a patient desires to reduce or remove facial wrinkles/lines, improve sun damage or treat scarring from things like acne, moles or tattoos, then laser skin resurfacing is an ideal procedure. The laser “ablates” layers of skin, removing the damaged layers and encouraging growth of fresh, undamaged skin. A local anesthetic is used, requiring no general anesthesia.
The recovery process calls for rest so the healing process can begin. Antibiotic cream and bandages are applied immediately post-op to minimize inflammation and prevent infection. Discomfort is expected but easily controlled with oral meds.
Botox
Botox is one of the safest ways to treat wrinkles and lines in the face. Botox blocks the signals from the nerves that get sent to muscles so that the muscles are unable to contract. If there’s no muscle contraction, there are no wrinkles.
Whether you get the procedure in New York or Utah, Botox only requires a local anesthetic and requires little to no recovery time. Some facial bruising is normal but quickly disappears. Patients should avoid heavy physical exercise for four hours post injection and avoid rubbing/massaging the injection area for at least 24 hours.
Otoplasty (Ear Surgery)
Most commonly used on patients with ears that stick out, the age range of patients undergoing this procedure are four to 14 years old. Children will go under general anesthesia while adults can get by with just local anesthetic. An incision is made in the crease of the ear and the cartilage is reshaped to bring the ears closer to the head. This surgery takes about one to two hours.
Complications for this surgery are rare if patients follow the proper post-operative instructions. Pain can be controlled with oral medications and most patients report that their pain was relatively minor.
There are plenty of safe ways for patients to undergo cosmetic surgeries. While finding a skilled and trustworthy doctor is number one, it’s always worth it to find alternatives to invasive surgeries to minimize risk and maximize safety.

Stay Safe – Avoiding Garden Accidents - Ajit Patel UK
Whether you use your garden as a place to relax and unwind or like being active outdoors, the garden is an enjoyable place to be. However, it can also be home to a series of hazards. Around 300,000 people each year in the UK attend their hospital’s Accident and Emergency department following an incident in the garden – over 85,000 of these sustained injuries whilst gardening.
There are many reasons why accidents occur in the garden – from the incorrect use of electrical equipment to injuries caused by trips or falls. The good news is that most accidents can be avoided with a little planning. Here are some common-sense tips:
Protect Yourself
Wearing the correct safety gear can prevent many common garden accidents. Always wear the correct clothing when tackling a job – particularly if you are using machinery such as lawnmowers, hedge-trimmers or chainsaws. The equipment you will need will depend on the job in hand but could include steel-toe capped boots, goggles, ear-defenders or heavy duty gardening gloves.
Keeping Children Safe in the Garden
It’s especially important to protect children from accidents in the garden. The garden is an exciting place to be and this can cause children to take risks or injure themselves. There’s no reason children can’t enjoy time in the garden – but it’s a good idea to take additional precautions and make sure children know about the potential hazards:
Pond Safety
A big concern for many parents when it comes to garden safety is the risk of children drowning in ponds. Small ponds can be covered with wire mesh to prevent children falling in. With larger ponds you may wish to erect a fence around the pond to keep children away from the water. When building a new pond, consider the safety implications. Choose a position where the pond can be seen from the house, create a pond with sloping edges and grow plants on the deeper edges of a pond to prevent children from getting near the edge .

- Do not leave sharp tools or gardening equipment laying around
- Keep pesticides and other chemicals locked away
- Avoid using electrical equipment whilst children are playing in the garden
- If you have poisonous plants in the garden make sure children know not to touch them. If children are too young to understand, you may wish to consider removing the plant entirely
- Take extra care when children are playing in paddling pools
- Always follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using outdoor play equipment such as climbing frames or trampolines.

Can’t Sleep? The Top Causes of Insomnia - Ajit Patel UK
Millions of people struggle with insomnia on any given night. Insomnia is a sleep problem characterized either by trouble falling asleep or difficulty remaining asleep. People dealing with insomnia may not be able to fall asleep even though they feel tired, may awaken during the night after only sleeping for a short while, or may wake early in the morning and not be able to fall asleep again. The good news is that, if you suffer from insomnia, there are things you can do to enjoy better sleep.
Insomnia may be either an acute (short-term) or chronic (long-term) condition. Insomnia may also be characterized as primary or secondary. Primary insomnia is not directly caused by another medical problem, while secondary insomnia is caused by another condition or medication.
What Causes Insomnia?
There are a number of causes of sleep problems. Fortunately, many of the causes can be treated or resolved. Psychological or psychiatric causes of insomnia include stress, anxiety, and depression. Stress and anxiety can cause your mind to race when everything is quiet and you are trying to sleep. Depression can also trigger sleep problems (either difficulty sleeping or feeling tired all the time). Stress, anxiety, or feelings of depression that persist or are severe should be discussed with a health care provider. Counseling or medication can help to relieve these conditions and lead to more restful sleep.
Health Issues
Chronic pain causes sleep problems for many people. Back pain is one common example, but any kind of pain can interfere with sleep. People who deal with chronic pain may find it difficult to get comfortable enough to fall asleep or may awaken after falling asleep. Chronic pain can sometimes be managed with medication or other pain management techniques, so it is a good idea to discuss chronic pain with your doctor if it is interfering with sleep.
Breathing problems like asthma, COPD, and sleep apnea can also cause insomnia. Problems like asthma and COPD not only cause anxiety (which interferes with sleep), but can also cause additional physical problems that contribute to insomnia. Sleep apnea may cause you to wake many times each night, and also frequently causes sufferers to feel tired in the morning.
Environmental Causes
Medications and stimulants (like caffeine and nicotine) are frequent causes of insomnia. Check the labels on prescription and over-the-counter medications or discuss these medications with a physician or pharmacist to see if they might be causing sleep problems. Limiting stimulants, particularly later in the day, is also an important step in restoring good sleep patterns if you struggle with insomnia.
Certain foods can contribute to sleep difficulties as well. Foods that are spicy or greasy can cause stomach irritation that makes it difficult to sleep. Eating a large meal shortly before going to bed can also disrupt sleep. Lifestyle and routine are important factors in maintaining a good sleep cycle. Changes in schedule can disrupt normal sleep cycles, whereas maintaining a regular pattern of going to bed and rising at the same time each day can contribute to healthy sleep.
Electronic gadgets are also frequently responsible for triggering sleep difficulties. The combination of mental stimulation and the light emitted by electronic devices can make sleep difficult for some time after turning off the devices. Turning off the TV, computer, tablet, or phone half an hour or an hour before you plan to sleep gives your brain a chance to relax and prepare for sleep.
A good night of sleep is important for mental functioning and physical health. Often there may be more than one cause of insomnia, but being aware of what might be causing the problem is an important first step toward good sleep. Try making necessary lifestyle adjustments and talk with a trusted health care provider about the role medications or medical problems may play in your insomnia if lifestyle changes do not cure the problem.

Fuel the Fire: 4 Nutrition Tips for Getting Ripped - Ajit Patel UK
With continuous research on ways of getting ripped without using an illegal substance, science has come up with suggestions on the ways that you can safely achieve a hard, ripped physique in a fast and effective style. Here are four tips for getting ripped.
Eliminate Junk FoodJunk food may include the soda, chips and cookies that we indulge in on a regular basis and which most of us do not want to get rid of. Weight lifters should really avoid these types of foods because the only good thing they do is add a huge amount to your caloric intake. Avoiding such eating will help you immensely in reducing the amount of empty calories you consume.
Tone Down Your Alcohol IntakeLibations and beers every so often may not hurt, but imbibing regularly will definitely prevent you from burning extra fat. This is because your body will burn the alcohol first and this becomes the primary energy substrate. This means that the food you eat will be treated as merely surplus calories, which are stored in fat cells. The best advice here: Do not eat a lot when you indulge in drinking.
Cycle CarbsThe most important times when you need carbs are after training and before training so that you have the energy to exercise and the ability to replace the energy you lose after training. It is also important to have carbs so that you can add muscle, which means you need extra calories floating around your bloodstream, but you don’t need to get too much of it from carbs. This is all the more reason you need to cycle carbs. Eat carbs 3-4 days a week. Adding protein for muscle building is essential so that it is easily available at the times when the muscles need it.
Supplement Your DietAfter you have eaten a meal, you should supplement your diet and workout with something else. This does not mean you should talk to the random guy in the gym. You can try a store such as SDI Labs to find a number of muscle gain products. Read through the descriptions to find out what your body requires depending on the level you are at in your workout. You can also seek advice from the staff so that you get the right product.
You should be able to see noticeable changes in your body if you are consistent. Sticking to your workout coupled with a dietary spreadsheet will lead you to the ideal physique. It is however important to not starve yourself, but instead make sure you get all the important foods at the right times. This will save you from getting burnt out, which is something everyone should avoid.

This will save you from getting burnt out, which is something everyone should avoid.

Cosmetic Surgery: Is it Worth the Pain and Expense? -Ajit Patel UK
Getting a little nip and tuck in the pursuit of beauty has never been so popular. But is cosmetic surgery worth the financial, physical, and emotional pain?
Yes – Carl
Once it was only the rich and famous that could dream of cosmetic surgery but now a range of different enhancements are easily available, making it more accessible for everyone. So if you’re not happy with your looks and you can afford the treatment, then why not?
I began having treatments about 10 years ago. I was starting to look and feel old and that was making me depressed. The more unhappy I felt, the worse I looked. I was trapped in a vicious cycle and decided to do something about it by dealing with my appearance.
I used Botox to treat the frown lines on my forehead and the difference it made was amazing – I looked so much better. Since then, I’ve also had eye-lid surgery as my eyes had become puffy and baggy with age. After I’d healed from the surgery, I felt amazing. I look younger and feel happy again. My friends have all commented on the improvement.
I haven’t had any other work done yet but I wouldn’t rule it out in the future. After all, we’re all living longer and like many others, I want to enjoy my old age rather than hiding away. I like to go out and looking good is important to me.
For me, however, cosmetic surgery isn’t just about looks – it’s about confidence too. The popularity of cosmetic surgery means that the costs are coming down; making it more accessible for normal people. And yes, it can be painful while you’re having treatment but I believe it’s a short-term pain for long-term benefits.
No – Beth
I think it’s really sad that our society puts so much pressure on people to look a certain way – to the point where they will pay for painful, expensive, and sometimes risky procedures in a bid to change their looks.
If you’re unhappy in life it’s easy to think that making a change to your appearance will make all the difference. But usually it’s not the wrinkles, big nose, or small boobs that’s the real problem. Often people focus on their appearance when really there are psychological issues that need resolving. This is why surgery is addictive – people think that it will solve their problems and in the short-term they may feel better but when their insecurities come flooding back, they seek out more surgery to try and counteract the negative feelings.
The results of cosmetic surgery don’t always last that long so once you start having treatment it can be a slippery slope to years of surgery. And even though treatments are becoming more common, they are still ridiculously expensive. I’d much rather spend thousands of pounds travelling the world – and I’m sure that would make me happier than a boob job would! The risks also put me off – we’ve all seen pictures of celebrities with cosmetic surgery that’s gone wrong. And the risks aren’t just about how you’ll look after the surgery; there are health risks too. The PIP breast implants scandal showed that cosmetic surgeons can sometimes get things massively wrong – resulting in stress and harm for thousands of people. For me, the risks just aren’t worth it – I’ll just stick to make-up, thank you.

Clue to male baldness discovered - Ajit Patel UK
Quoted by BBC News: “In studies of bald men and laboratory mice, US scientists pinpointed a protein that triggers hair loss.
Drugs that target the pathway are already in development, they report in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
The research could lead to a cream to treat baldness.
Most men start to go bald in middle age, with about 80% of men having some hair loss by the age of 70.
The male sex hormone testosterone plays a key role, as do genetic factors. They cause the hair follicles to shrink, eventually becoming so small that they are invisible, leading to the appearance of baldness.
Reverse balding?
Now, researchers at the University of Pennsylvania have analysed which genes are switched on when men start to go bald.
They found levels of a key protein called prostaglandin D synthase are elevated in the cells of hair follicles located in bald patches on the scalp, but not in hairy areas.
Mice bred to have high levels of the protein went completely bald, while transplanted human hairs stopped growing when given the protein.
Prof George Cotsarelis, of the department of dermatology, who led the research, said: “Essentially we showed that prostaglandin protein was elevated in the bald scalp of men and that it inhibited hair growth. So we identified a target for treating male-pattern baldness.
“The next step would be to screen for compounds that affect this receptor and to also find out whether blocking that receptor would reverse balding or just prevent balding – a question that would take a while to figure out.”
The inhibition of hair growth is triggered when the protein binds to a receptor on the cells of hair follicles, said Prof Cotsarelis.
Several known drugs that target this pathway have already been identified, he added, including some that are in clinical trials.
The researchers say there is potential for developing a treatment that can be applied to the scalp to prevent baldness and possibly help hair regrow.”

Road to a Speedy Recovery – 5 Post Wisdom Tooth Removal Tips - Ajit Patel UK
Few oral procedures have a reputation as negative as the removal of wisdom teeth, but nearly 75 percent of all patients meet the criteria for needing these teeth removed. Anyone that has recently discussed the option of removing their wisdom teeth with their dentist should consider these 5 post-op tips to make the recovery as smooth and pain-free as possible.
1. Set Aside a Period of Mandatory RestThe single most important step in this process is to set aside a specific window in which rest and recovery is the number one priority. If the procedure takes place earlier in the day, that entire day should be set aside for rest and the next day should involve little in the way of movement if possible. For at least one week, all rigorous activities such as sports and exercise should be avoided completely.
2. Create a Meal and Snack PlanThose that are preparing for any tooth extraction should consider their meals and snacks at least a week beforehand and have the correct foods ready in order to promote a healthy recovery. Hot, spicy, hard, and chewy foods should be avoided at all costs as they can cause irritation, pain, or open up the wound. Only soft and semi-soft foods such as yogurt, soup, and applesauce should be consumed for the first few days.
3. Avoid Alcohol and TobaccoThe use of any tobacco products and the consumption of alcohol should be avoided completely for 48 hours, but it is best to avoid these products for the entire healing process. Studies have shown that alcohol and tobacco products not only slow down the healing process, they also increase the risk of serious complications such as an infection.
4. Keep Sockets CleanPatients should speak with their dentist beforehand about the use of antibacterial mouthwash immediately after the procedure. These products have been specifically designed to not irritate any open wounds while keeping the mouth health. In addition to mouthwash, making sure you’re the sockets that are left after removal stay clean and clear of food particles. The dentist will give you a special syringe to help keep them open and healing quickly. These suggestions will help patients avoid painful complications such as a dry socket or gum infection.
5. Take Painkillers PreventativelyPatients should never wait until they are feeling pain and discomfort to take painkillers. Whether it is over-the-counter painkillers or prescription medication, a schedule should be made beforehand. In most cases, painkillers should be taken immediately after the procedure unless otherwise instructed by the dentist. Wisdom teeth removal can be a very painful experience during the healing process so make sure to follow your prescription as abusing it can result in very serious health complications
Getting your wisdom teeth removed is a procedure that the majority of us have to go through and so there is a large amount of data on the subject. Remember that you can make the most of it if you plan accordingly. If everything goes well, the area should be completely healed within about two weeks. At this point, patients can once again enjoy the benefits of a pain-free, straight, and healthy smile.

Ten Biological Changes You’ll Experience in Your 30s - Ajit Patel UK
What kinds of things are you going to lose in your 30s? Human bodies change significantly in that decade of life. The good news is that many people in their 30′s often experience a greater sense of acceptance towards themselves and their lives from within. That mental change counters the price paid in aging.
Biological factors inevitably come evident for the first time in people’s lives. While many of the changes are gender-specific, there are also factors that both men and women have in common.
Wrinkles
You don’t have to have been a sunbather or cigarette smoker to get wrinkles. It’s based on heredity a lot of the time. You’ll find some frown lines, and also some laugh lines. As you age, the skin becomes less elastic and does not regenerate as rapidly. Female skin gets wrinkles much faster than male skin because of the natural thin nature of female skin.
Metabolism
I’m sure you’ve noticed that it’s harder to lose weight now once you get it on and the over indulgences that you used to get away with are now making your pants a little tighter. It may be time to take your diet a little and in general consume less. Use exercise to combat inactivity with a bit more gusto. If you have more muscle, you burn more calories.
According to students and professors from USC’s gerontology degree program, the best exercise for long term fitness is long walks and yoga.
Hormonal shifts
Fertility and viability of sperm and egg will decrease. Pregnancies can become riskier and not as easily made, but not impossible. Women also may notice changes in their periods or may start early menopause. Men may notice a lowered sex drive.
Less flexibility
Muscle and connective tissue decreases with age. Tendons and protein structures that bind your muscles together begin to weaken. The decade or so of sedentary jobs in office chairs for many hours a day also may catch up. Taking time to do yoga poses and stretch could make a big difference.
Declines in stamina
Your heart is a muscle and as we previously mentioned, muscles in general are losing strength. The length and intensity of your aerobic exercise may need adjustment.
Rises in cholesterol and blood pressure
These come due to fatty deposit build up in the arteries. Your body can’t flush out junk as quickly. An active lifestyle will definitely knock down your cholesterol and blood pressure. Watch your diet.
Depression may come
Realizing that youth is over is not easy for anyone. Life often becomes complex and challenging at this age. Remembering the former decade and comparing it to the present reality of bills piling up, screaming kids, and stressful jobs can be a huge challenge. Drug and alcohol abuse are often a companion of depression that actually exaggerate the already bad feelings.
Changes in response to stress
Depending on your life experiences and personality, you may become wiser in your 30′s about how to deal with stress, or you may experience it even more. If you have suppressed your feelings for a while, it may start to manifest in panic attacks or anxiety related symptoms.
Consistent Sleep
You may not be able to pull off late nights like you used to. Though as you age you need less sleep, your body is going to have a problem when you go outside of your normal sleep schedule. So staying up late will pretty much not happen anymore. Six hours a night is about what you need.
Aches and pains
You may have been able to run all over the place and pack many chores all into one day in the past, but you may want to reconsider that now. Back pain, pulled muscles, and overuse injuries are no fun. Take it easy on your older body now.
While it’s a cliché, “beauty comes from within” is true. This is a time in life to reinforce your character and to express who you are deeply. Don’t miss your chance by mourning the past. It will just out more lines on your face.

How Dental Bonding Can Alter the Look & Feel of Your Teeth - Ajit Patel UK
Dental bonding is a very simple and effective procedure that has been gaining a lot of popularity over the past few years. As the technology and results have improved, dentists around the world have become more likely to recommend it as a cosmetic procedure to help restore a person’s smile.
How Does it Work?
Dental bonding can now be used to repair chipped, decayed or cracked teeth, improve the color of teeth, close the spaces between them and change their shape. The resin is also sometimes used to protect a person’s tooth root after receding gums have exposed them. So, it’s kind of a jack of all trades in the dental world.
The procedure of dental bonding involves the use of a resin material to correct minor damage or deformation to teeth. The resin used in bonding is made of a plastic-like material that’s applied directly onto the tooth and hardened with the use of a special light.
The light makes the resin bond with the tooth before it can be molded to form a shape which resembles the missing part. The color of the resin can also be adjusted to match the shade of your teeth, so there’s no need to worry about it being noticed.
What to Expect
Anesthesia is not required for this procedure as it is completely painless. However, it may be required if the bonding is done on a decayed tooth.
The resin is available in a variety of different colors and the dentist can use a shade guide to decide which shade of resin will suit your teeth best. The tooth’s surface is roughened up and liquid conditioner is applied to it directly. While applying the resin to this roughened tooth the resin can be molded into the desired shape, as it is in a putty-like form.
To harden the putty-like resin, ultraviolet light or lasers are applied directly onto it when it’s in place. This hardens the material and the dentist maybe able to shape up the resin further before polishing it. The teeth can look almost flawless at the end of this procedure, whichtakes just around 30-45 minutes.
The Benefits
Fixes Cosmetic Issues – The look and feel of your teeth can be almost completely changed with the help of this tooth bonding method. Newer varieties of teeth bonding resin are made of a material that is a lot more durable than before. Unattractive gaps between your teeth can be completely filled in this way. Teeth that may have been broken or partly chipped due to some accident can be repaired and made to look just as they did before…or even better.
Long Lasting – The bonding material also tends to last incredibly long and most teeth bonds can last anywhere between 3 and 10 years. The lifespan of the material used in the bond depends on factors concerning your oral care and the amount of bonding material used. Once the bond has worn outthough, it can easily be retouched or replaced. Dentists generally prefer to use this bonding material on areas of the teeth where they don’t expect much biting friction. This is to prolong the life of the material as much as possible.
Cost & Time Efficient – Another advantage of dental bonding is that it is a relatively inexpensive procedure. The cost per tooth for dental bonding may vary depending on where you live but they generally cost between $100 and $400 per tooth.
The procedure is not as time-consuming as the bonding can be done right in the dental clinic and no custom made molds need to be made in a special lab. Fitting crowns could take a few days as custom-made crowns need to come back from a lab but dental bonds can be done with very little material, all of which is easily available to the dentist.
Low Maintenance – The most incredible part of this treatment is that once the bond has been applied it requires no special care or maintenance. You can eat and chew just as before without the fear of damaging the bond. The material is also remarkably resistant to stains and will not get discolored easily.
Besides avoiding chewing hard objects such as ice, pencils or bottle caps, bonded teeth require no special treatment besides generally accepted best oral hygiene practices like brushing twice a day, flossing once a day and regular dental check-ups. Once the material has been set onto the existing tooth, it’s barely noticeable. But youshould still be careful to avoid any direct pressure on the tooth after the treatment.
Minor cosmetic changes and major defects on teeth can all be rectified by this treatment. There are always new developments in modern dentistry that make life easier for patients, so be sure to consult your dentist about the newest techniques that may work for you.

How to Get Your Child to Eat Healthy - Ajit Patel UK
Many kids have difficulty eating. They will fuss about having to consume a plate of vegetables, meats and fruits. Some kids literally look sick when they see healthy foods, but they do not have the same reaction to tasty treats such as a chocolate bar or a cupcake.
Children need proper food to grow and the only way you can get them to eat is by doing the following things:
This way, you give the child what she or he wants, with the added benefit of health.
You can also substitute beef steak with healthy treats like grass fed beef sticks, which your child can feed on any time of the day.
Part of the reason that kids refuse to eat is when the food looks too much. Kids feel really grown when they are able to clear their plate and they will even show off about it.
Serve in smaller quantities and your child will be encouraged to eat more.
Most children have a problem eating breakfast. You can make your pancakes into interesting shapes that your child will look forward to eating. For instance, the ginger bread man.
It is better to serve them in a juice. Add the vegetables to a fruit juice to mask the taste. You can sweeten the juice with some natural sweeteners to make it more delicious.
Making separate meals is tiresome and expensive.

Most children have a problem eating breakfast. You can make your pancakes into interesting shapes that your child will look forward to eating. For instance, the ginger bread man.
- Blend vegetables into a smoothie
It is better to serve them in a juice. Add the vegetables to a fruit juice to mask the taste. You can sweeten the juice with some natural sweeteners to make it more delicious.
- Don’t make separate meals for your kids
Making separate meals is tiresome and expensive.
- Cook with your kids

The human body needs sleep every night in order to repair tissue, rest the heart, and even allow the brain to reset after a full day of thinking. Simple steps such as cutting back on caffeine, creating a sleeping routine, and getting more exercise may be all that is needed to get more sleep.
Set Goals
People with goals, passions, and hobbies have been shown to slow down the aging process time and time again. For those who wouldn’t mind looking younger and improving their cognitive abilities, consider some goals or hobbies that involve both physical exercise and concentration. Even something as simple as competitive games once or twice a week has been shown to slow the aging process. Try something new like horse riding, Sudoku puzzles or trivia.
Preserve Your Skin
If your skin no longer looks its best, there are a number of quick and affordable options can be done to improve its overall appearance. This begins with using sunblock at all times, and avoiding any harsh chemicals to remove makeup or clean one’s face. Always moisturize and protect skin before going out or to bed at night. There are now also more treatment options than ever for those that want to quickly get rid of varicose veins. Chronic venous insufficiency is a condition which causes backflow of blood into a tributary vein. With surgery these unsightly blue bulges will completely diminish.
Check Your Numbers Regularly
Patients that are constantly reminded of their numbers and receive regular checkups are much more likely to take action. Depending on your age and current level of health, dental checkups should take place at least twice a year, and a full physical at least once a year. These tests should include one’s weight, cholesterol, blood pressure, and blood sugar levels as well as screening for common diseases.
Phase Out Destructive Habits
As the human body ages it cannot repair itself or stave off damage as fast as it once did. This means everyone should take a good look at some of their destructive habits and phase them out if they want to look at feel younger. This begins with smoking and heavy drinking, but it is also important to lower stress levels, and cut down on the intake of saturated fats and sugars.

Pain Free Retirement: Tips to Stave Off Old Age - Ajit Patel UK
Aging is tough, and as you age there are many ailments and diseases you need to look out for. But there are also ways to prevent the common pains that come along with aging. Here are a few tips to help you age with as little pain as possible.
Headaches
Many people get headaches more frequently as they age and when your head hurts, you really feel your age. There are many things you can do to help prevent headaches before they become a real problem. You can start by stretching your neck on a regular basis, especially if you use a computer, or sit in a stationary position often. You can also help lessen the severity and frequency of your headaches by reducing your stress levels. Stress can be reduced by changing your lifestyle, but it can also lessen with deep breathing, or meditation exercises.
Back Pain
As you get older, there will be more stress on your spine. Your spine takes a lot of pressure from bad posture, poor sleeping positions, excess weight, and a number of other factors. But there are things you can do to lessen how much your back will hurt as you get older. For example, if you pay attention to your posture now and fix the way you sit and stand, you will not have to pay for that bad posture later in life. You should also do things like strengthen your core muscles so your back does not have to work as hard to support your spine. Pay attention to any injuries to your back immediately so you can correct them, and not have to deal with long term pain.
Muscle Strains
When you continue to push yourself as you age, your muscles will pay for it. If you strain yourself by doing the things you used to do even though you are getting older, muscle strain is inevitable. There are a number of things you can do to cut back on these strains. You can stretch often, exercise, pace yourself, and perhaps even see a chiropractor. If you do have strain pain, it is a good idea to take some anti-inflammatory medication and rest so you do not have long term pain in that area.
Arthritis
Arthritis causes joint pain and swelling, and will make your joints feel stiff and swollen. Even if you have arthritis in certain areas, there are things you can do to diminish the amount of pain you will feel. The best thing you can do for yourself is to stay in motion. The longer you sit in a stationary position, the more you will hurt. You should do weight training as well as aerobic and cardio activity. Stretching will also help lessen your pain, and remaining at a healthy weight can help prevent further pain. If you want, you can talk to your doctor about where to buy kinesio tape, which can be put on achy joints in order to help you get through the times that are really tough and painful.
Aging brings plenty of ailments along with it, but there is no reason to sit back and let it happen. If you take these tips to heart, and work on managing your health now, you can remain pain free or, at the very least, in the smallest amount of pain possible for the ailments that attack your body. Keep these tips in mind at all times, and make sure you fight the pain you have. It is possible to age gracefully when you know the tips for prevention.

6 Ways to Make Yourself Feel Better About Your Smile - Ajit Patel UK
Your smile is one of your most noticeable assets. It determines whether your appearance is youthful and radiant or not. Feeling confident about your smile is essential to your self image and the energy you give off to others. There are many ways to feel better about your smile if you already don’t feel secure about it. From aesthetic routines to oral hygiene techniques, you can improve your smile or simply feel better about what you already have. Here are six methods you can use to make yourself feel more secure in your smile.
Lip Care
Bringing out the natural tinted color in your lips is an indirect way to make your smile look better. The way to do this is to apply an excess amount of petroleum jelly and vitamin E liquid to your lips before you go to sleep. When you wake up, your lips will feel fleshy, with bits of dead layers waiting to come off. The way to take the dead skin off is to brush your teeth and then pass the brush firmly on your lips in a back and forth motion. The dead layers will rinse off and you will be left with the first supple layer of your lip, along with the rose-like color it is supposed to be. The lines on your lips will be gone too. When you smile, you will perceive it to look better because of the softness and color of your lips. This method is great if you already have clean teeth, but you feel it is crooked or can simply look better.
Stain Removal
You can remove mid stains from your teeth with kitchen products. Baking soda, any toothpaste and pressed strawberries make a great paste for your teeth. The way to apply this paste is to spread it on a piece of plastic or a foil. If you have metal fillings in your mouth, foil is not for you.. It will cause a stinging sensation where your fillings are. You can use saran wrap if you have those type of fillings. After spreading the paste on whatever material you are using, you can place it on your top and bottom row as if it was retainers. Sit with it in your mouth for about 45 minutes for the best results. You will salivate during the process, so you can keep tissue nearby. Plan on a 45 minute interval in which you would not eat or drink anything.
Petroleum Jelly Trick
Petroleum jelly makes your teeth look shinier and porcelain-like. Applying petroleum jelly to your teeth is an instant and temporary solution. It is good for photos, interviews and anything else that is a one-time thing.
Lip Tints or Lip Color
Anyone can use lip tints to get the same effect mentioned in the first section. Tinted or colored lips always brighten the smile if it doesn’t already have any stains. There is an unconventional method of using a bluish tint to get the teeth to look whiter. It is a subtle tint and can’t be seen easily with the naked eye.
Fruit and Vegetable Diet
Citrus fruits contain vitamin C, which helps the body produce collagen and fight off the bacteria that builds plaque. Collagen is essential for healthy gums and the bacteria that lives in the mouth can only survive if it builds plaque around itself. Citrus fruits will combat these issues before they turn into problems that affect the way your teeth looks. Strawberries work twice as good because they have a natural astringent that fights against stains and discoloration. Vegetables like celery also have a teeth whitening effect.
Color Psychology
Colors can change your perception of your own smile. Stay away from neon colors if your teeth color is what you worry about the most. Neon colors will only heighten your perception of how discolored you think your teeth are. Pastel colors and dark colors will make your teeth appear lighter and cleaner.
Smiles are one of the main things that affect person’s perception of another person. According to the Ivory Dental Centre, your smile can either make you more confident or more insecure. These methods will help you feel better about your teeth instantly. One of the first steps to a better self-image is to maintain a healthy and welcoming smile.

Ways To Have A Healthy Retirement Ahead - Ajit Patel UK
After a lifetime of working, you deserve to enjoy your retirement in good health. Preparing for this exciting time in your life can help ensure that you enjoy the best possible quality of life in your golden years. Read on for four key areas to plan for when you’re getting your mind, body, and lifestyle ready for retirement.
Start an Exercise Program
Getting–or staying–fit is a great way to make the most of your retirement years. Ask your doctor what type of exercise is safe for you, if you don’t already have an exercise plan. Whether it’s swimming, walking, or tennis, doing 30 minutes of exercise at least three to four times a week can help stave off major health problems and help keep you active well into your senior years.
Consider Your Living Situation
If you aren’t in love with your current home, or are interested in downsizing, this might be a good time to consider moving to a retirement community. There are many retirement communities. Many homes include activities, meals, and medical care as needed; visit a few different places to find a good fit for you.
Bolster Your Relationships
Retirement is a great time to reconnect with your spouse, especially if you’ve both worked for many years. Spend time together doing things you both enjoy. In addition to this central relationship, you can now spend time building relationships with friends old and new; if you’re interested in meeting new people, consider groups for those with similar interests that you have. And if you have grandchildren, spending time with them during retirement can help keep those relationships strong as they grow up.
Look for a Purpose
Retirement is a chance to explore those facets of life you’ve always wanted to pursue, but may not have had time for after the responsibility of working and raising a family. Consider traveling, volunteer work, new hobbies, and other fun things to fill your days. Having a specific driving purpose can help stave off depression and keep you active as you age; experts believe that remaining active is good for physical health as well as mental health.
Beginning to think about these steps before you’re ready to retire will help ensure that you are mentally, physically, and financially prepared to enjoy a fulfilling retirement for years to come, no matter where you choose to live.

Five Things You Can Do Every Day for Healthy Teeth and Gums - Ajit Patel UK
Your oral health may be the last thing you want to think about throughout the course of a busy day, but keeping your teeth and gums healthy doesn’t have to be complicated—nor does it need to take long! The following are five simple things you can do every day to keep your mouth as healthy and clean as possible:
Brush Your Teeth
This seems like a no-brainer, but there are many people who don’t take the time to brush their teeth properly. Dentists recommend brushing your teeth twice a day, for two minutes each time. 120 seconds seems like a lot of time to spend just brushing your teeth, but this can actually be the most helpful way to get rid of cavity-causing plaque and other harmful bacteria.
Flossing
Most would agree that flossing seems like a pretty tedious and unnecessary chore, but there’s a reason dentists harp on their patients to floss regularly. Flossing is the most effective way to clean in between your teeth, something a toothbrush just can’t do sometimes.
Rinse with Mouthwash
Now here’s a fun way to keep your teeth and gums healthy. All it is a swig of your favorite mouthwash and thirty seconds of swishing to kill most of the harmful bacteria in your mouth.What could be easier?
Eat Healthy Foods for Your Teeth
Sugar has certainly gotten a bad rap over the years when it comes to causing cavities. While it is known that sweet and sticky foods contribute to bacteria growth in the mouth, regular brushing and flossing can prevent this. Instead of avoiding certain foods, a Hamilton dentist suggests eating foods that can actually help you in your quest for healthy teeth and gums. These foods includefresh grapes, cranberries, milk, tea and cheese—all of which have been shown to fight harmful bacteria in the mouth.
Examine Your Own Teeth and Gums
This is probably the easiest thing you can do everyday. Just take a few more seconds after you’re done brushing, flossing and rinsing with mouthwash to inspect your teeth and gums. Are your gums red and bleeding? Is there a strange sore anywhere on the inside of your mouth? If something doesn’t look or feel quite right, it might be time for a check-up with your dentist.
It only takes a few minutes each day to maintain good oral health practices. Doing each of the activities listed above on a daily basis will lead to stronger, healthier teeth and gums.

Lovely Lies: 5 Beauty Myths You Should Stop Believing Today - Ajit Patel UK
A lot of people swear by different beauty regimens that have later been discovered to be false. Some beauty myths can actually present a health risk, while other beauty regimens provide no benefits whatsoever. Here are some well-known, popular myths that are simply factual and untrue.
Myth: Getting Regular Haircuts Makes Your Hair Grow Longer
Although trimming unhealthy strands of hair will improve the texture and vibrancy of your hair, a haircut does not make your hair grow any longer than your normal hair growth pattern. Your hair will grow at its normal rate, when you remove damaged hair strands. However, getting regular haircuts will help to increase the potential for your hair to grow to its genetically predisposed length, if you’re interested in growing your hair as long as it possibly can grow.
Myth: Skin Moistures Clog Pores
Oily skin naturally secretes oil, but many people believe that applying moisturizers to oily skin will clog the pores. Because of this untrue myth, some people cleanse and exfoliate oily skin without adding moisture. Similar to dry skin, oily skin needs the proper amount of moisture daily to protect the skin cells from free radical damage and help to replenish the skin from the drying effects of chemicals in the cleansers, toners and masks. However, oil-free skin moisturizers work best for this problem.
Myth: Olive Oil Prevents Stretch Marks
When the skin expands, such as during pregnancy, stretch marks may form as a result. For generations, many women have applied olive oil to the skin during and after pregnancy to help prevent stretch marks from forming and to remove the appearance of stretch marks. Olive oil is great for adding moisture to dry skin and helping to soften the skin, but it does not prevent or minimize the appearance of stretch marks.Stretch marks are primarily caused by genetic factors, hormones and other possible factors, such as your propensity to gain weight faster than others and excess amniotic fluid during pregnancy. Laser treatments are effective for removing stretch marks.
Myth: Skipping Meals Helps You Lose Weight Faster
This is a popular myth, because many people believe that skipping a meal can make you shed calories and lose weight. Skipping meals can actually lower your metabolism and cause you to lose the right amount of nutrients and proteins that your body needs to maintain a healthy weight.
Myth: Aspirin Can Relieve a Toothache
Many people believe that putting an aspirin on an aching tooth will relieve the pain. This is an old wives tale for an at-home remedy that is untrue. According to a dentist swallowing an aspirin can help relieve pain in the body, such as a headache or a leg cramp, but placing an aspirin next to a sore tooth will not stop the pain. It can in fact damage the gums, if the aspirin is held on the tooth for an extended period of time.
Although there are many at-home remedies that are effective at treating a wide variety of conditions, some of the remedies do not provide the best treatments for different ailments. We often think that because everyone is using a particular home-remedy it must work. That’s the problem with home remedies—no matter how popular they are, they haven’t been studied, tested, or scientifically proven to improve your health or beauty. This is true for other trends and practices. Just remember—just because everyone thinks it’s true, doesn’t mean it is!

That’s the problem with home remedies—no matter how popular they are, they haven’t been studied, tested, or scientifically proven to improve your health or beauty. This is true for other trends and practices. Just remember—just because everyone thinks it’s true, doesn’t mean it is!

The Principles (Not the Medicine) That Cured my Acne - Ajit Patel UK
I had acne for several years, even as small girl. This was partially inherited; my mother had severe acne problems as well. I also believe it was partially due to my skin type–extremely fair with a tendency to be dry. I went to various dermatologists and used several pills and creams, but in the end, basic principles helped my skin the most. Below, I would like to share those with you.
Stay Moisturized
As I mentioned, my skin has a tendency to stay dry. Therefore, I needed to rely heavily on moisturizing lotions and products, but the truth is that I rarely had or made time to use them like I should have. If you’re like me and have a busy schedule, there are other ways to stay moisturized, as well as make sure dry bits of skin and old oils don’t clog up your pores. Even if your skin isn’t dry or particularly oily, these can help. First, drink plenty of water; if you don’t want to drink large glasses or bottles, drink pint-size bottles throughout the day, even with snacks or while working.
Exfoliate Your Skin
Wash your face frequently, but be careful of the soap you use. Soap dries itself out and will do the same to your skin. Brands like Dove are less likely to do this, but you’re better off using organic or goat’s-milk soaps, which hold moisture more. Also beware of heavily perfumed soaps, as these may cause redness and itchiness or introduce more oils into your skin.
Advanced Dermatology Care of Stillwater, MN recommends that you use a facial mask a few times a month to help your skin get the exfoliation it needs. I should stress the need for you to be sensitive to your skin’s need for moisture as you use these facial masks.
Watch What You Eat
I love chocolate, so of course I was crushed when I heard the old adage, “Chocolate gives you acne.” In reality, chocolate and other foods don’t directly cause acne and skin issues. However, too much of the wrong foods will damage skin. For example, a steady diet of sugar, soda, and fried foods will cause your oil glands to work overtime. They may also eventually cause your skin to look discolored–too red or too gray–and lead to acne, age marks, and other issues. This is also true of drinks; there’s a reason that people who drink frequently often look red in the face. It’s their body’s way of showing them that they have too much alcohol in their system. Therefore, make sweets, drinks, and fried foods an occasional treat, not staples, and be smart about what you choose. For example, dark chocolate’s antioxidants may help your skin.
Be Careful in the Sun
Even if you don’t have fair skin like me, sun exposure can cause severe skin damage and even skin diseases like cancer. Overexposure will dry out skin and make it easier for acne to pop up once your face and body is well-oiled again. Always wear sunblock, especially on humid days, and reapply frequently. You can also wear a hat while in the sun. Light-colored clothing will reflect rather than absorb heat, which will cut down on exposure, as will loose-fitting skirts, dresses, or pants.
Know Your Calendar
A lot of women, including myself, tend to break out more when it’s time for their menstrual cycle. If you are one of these women, chart your own cycle regularly. If you’re on birth control, use your pill pack as a guide to when you will begin. Then, during the week before and of your period, do as much as you can to avoid breakouts. Eat more carefully and exercise more, and as tempting as that hot bubble bath might be, don’t let the water overheat or soak too long. You can go ahead and use acne medicines during this time, but they shouldn’t be your first line of defense. Your body has natural ways of keeping skin healthy, so play into those.
I always found acne medications frustrating and time-consuming. Therefore, it’s a relief to know that various wellness principles can help me control my acne and skin health with less hassle. With tips like these, you can help yourself, too.

7 Unique Ways You Can Restore Your Smile - Ajit Patel UK
Your smile is a unique part of you. It’s a way to share your joy with friends and loved ones. But not all smiles are created equal. Due to aging, an accident, or an unfortunate genetic condition, your smile may not be showing its full potential. The following is a list of seven unique ways to restore your smile.
1. Bridges
Bridges can be either fixed or implanted, and are mostly used for replacing missing or broken teeth. A fixed bridged typically is crafted from metals or porcelain, and is kept in place with surrounding teeth via bonding. In contrast, an implant is bonded directly to the jawbone and will act as an anchor for where a tooth root would have been.
2. Crowns
Crowns serve to improve a tooth’s appearance or strength, and are really just a simple covering. But it may assist a bridge to fit, help restore a tooth that is broken, or mask a yellow, crooked, or misshapen tooth.
3. Extractions
Extractions are normally done to prevent mouth decay from surrounding death or decaying teeth, or to make room for adult teeth to come in. Extractions can be done during a routine exam, but may require a special appointment, depending on the circumstances.
4. Filling
Fillings are used to fill in missing, decaying, damaged, or worn teeth. The materials used to fill in these spots look natural, which helps your smile look authentic and unaltered.
5. Implants
Implants are another effective way to restore missing teeth. During an implantation procedure, a post of titanium metal is drilled directly into the jaw bone. Then a crown is attached to mimic the appearance of a natural tooth.
6. Orthodontics
Orthodontics involves uses braces and other devices to straighten teeth over time, giving you the beautiful smile you were meant to have. This traditionally involves wires, but there are wireless options, such as InvisiLine braces.
7. Veneers
Veneers are thin tooth-shaped overlays composed of porcelain that bond to the front of your natural teeth. According to Sierra Dental, when you bond veneers to the six prominent teeth in the front of your mouth, veneers help create beautiful, uniform smile. They can also be used to address issues involving individual teeth as well. Veneers are not permanent, but because they are custom-crafted in a dental lab, they are able to last many years with each patient.
Right now your smile may not be up to its full potential. Thanks to modern technology there are many ways to restore or smile to its former glory. Remember, a smile doesn’t just tell others you feel good, it also makes you feel good as well.

How To Care For Skin After Cosmetic Surgery - Ajit Patel UK
Cosmetic surgeries are a great step towards feeling more confident about your physical appearance. It is important to maintain the results from these surgeries by taking excellent care of your skin. Read through this guide for a general guide for after-surgery skin care, but be sure to ask your doctor about any specific instructions for your procedure.
Avoid Direct Sunlight
The first few days after the procedure, it is a good idea to completely avoid being out in the sun as your skin is quite sensitive. After the initial healing period is over, use sunblock or a moisturizer with SPF to block both alpha and beta rays. Stay within the SPF 30-40 range as anything higher tends to block the pores. Any beautician will tell you that the daily use of sunscreen is perfect for protecting skin and slowing down the aging process; this is especially true if you have had a recent cosmetic surgery. Some of these procedures can result in hyperpigmentation if the proper care is not taken to avoid sunlight.
Stay Hydrated
Water becomes even more important following a cosmetic surgery. Drinking plenty of water is a proven way to detox the skin and keep it fresh and healthy. Your skin may be extremely dry after the procedure; drinking lots of water works even better than moisturizer to hydrate the skin.
Keep Skin Clean
The area will likely be quite sore and sensitive to the touch, but it is imperative to keep your skin clean. Only gentle hypoallergenic soaps should be used; do not use scrubs or anything with an exfoliant. You may consider using a hot damp towel to very gently rinse your face. Too much scrubbing can result in the loss of skin cells and hyperpigmentation.
Reduce Swelling
Invasive procedures can leave your face quite swollen. Sleep with your head higher than your heart and use cold compresses to reduce swelling. Ice is a great solution to swelling.
Mineral Makeup
Many makeups found in drug stores contain harsh chemicals and allergens that are likely to irritate the skin. Your doctor will probably tell you not to use makeup for a specified length of time; once this time is up, make sure to switch to a mineral-based makeup. You can also combat the purples of bruising with a green-based tone.
Proper skin care is crucial after a cosmetic procedure. Follow these and your doctor’s instructions for the best possible outcome.

Smile Bright: Five Simple Things You Can Do Now for a Better Smile - Ajit Patel UK
A bright smile is one of the best assets you can have. It not only makes you attractive, but good oral health can prevent more serious health complications in other parts of your body. Poor dental care can lead to heart disease or strokes, uncontrollable blood sugar and bouts of dementia. Following these guidelines will help ensure you avoid some of these health problems.
Proper Diet
Eating only balanced, nutritional meals not full of sugars, preservatives and other ingredients that can damage tooth enamel and gums is a good way to start taking care of your smile. The right foods will not create damage in your mouth or create other issues once the food is in your digestive system.
Good Dental Hygiene
A clean mouth is added protection for your smile. You should practice regular brushing and flossing and rinsing between meals when you cannot brush. People who have acid reflux must be especially faithful with good hygiene. The acid can ruin your teeth. It is important to rinse the mouth instead of brushing right away after a reflux episode. The acid from reflux may damage tooth enamel.
Regular Checkups and Cleaning
No matter how attractive your smile appears, it is still important to make regular visits to a dentist for checkups and cleaning. There may be dental conditions developing that are beyond your view. Gum disease, plaque development beneath the gum line and tooth decay are not always noticeable, but a dentist is trained to detect these conditions.
Avoid Tobacco Products
All forms of tobacco can stain the teeth or lead to tooth loss, gum disease or oral cancer. Once the staining has starting, it is tough to reverse. You will need to get a dentist’s help to whiten, since the chemicals in some whitening products could make the staining worse. The best way to avoid any of these problems is to avoid smoking, chewing tobacco and dipping snuff.
Get Cosmetic Dentistry
If your dental challenges have reached a point that you cannot address them on your own, it may be time to consult a cosmetic dentist. These professionals help with teeth whitening, bonding to close up spaces between teeth, or veneers to cover chipped, worn, broken, stained, spaced or crooked teeth. A dentist specializing in dental implants in Toronto says that occasionally cosmetic procedures can be covered by dental insurance, so the procedure of your choice may cost far less than you think! Cosmetic dentists can also provide crowns, help shape and contour enamel, place braces or do bridges and dental implants. A consultation can help you find the best option for your specific condition.

7 Reasons to Have Cosmetic Surgery - Ajit Patel UK
If you are considering having cosmetic surgery, you are not alone. Many people elect to have cosmetic surgery, and there are seven good reasons to have it. Your situation might fit into one of the following categories.
Possible Health Concerns
There are some cosmetic surgeries that also alleviate health concerns. Some people elect to have a cosmetic surgery because it can also help in some other way. For example, you might elect to have a nose job, which will also help you breathe better at night because of a physical problem inside your nose.
To Build Self Confidence
You may want to have cosmetic surgery because you need to build your self confidence. For example, if your ears have always stuck out from the sides of your head, you may have felt self conscious about them. By having them surgically corrected, you could rebuild your self confidence and your self-image, so you feel better about life.
Causes Embarrassing Situations
Another reason to have cosmetic surgery is because you might have a deformity or other issue that causes others to ask questions or puts you in embarrassing situations. If you had a large birthmark on your face, you might want it removed, so you can stop people from staring at it or asking you about it over and over again.
To Correct a Problem
You might also need cosmetic surgery if you have a problem. For example, if your teeth are crooked and it affects the way you bite or chew food, you might have cosmetic surgery to fix your teeth and your smile. You would find it easier to eat, and you get the benefit of a gorgeous smile on your face. Another possibility is if you have been in an accident, you may need cosmetic surgery to correct an injury.
For Work Purposes
Some people even need cosmetic surgery for their jobs. A model or actress may need cosmetic surgery such as breast augmentation to make her look great, so she can continue booking jobs. The competition is so fierce in many fields that looks do matter, so people pay to look good to earn a living.
To Look Young Again
Another reason to have cosmetic surgery is to look young again. Many people have a hard time coming to terms with the signs of aging, so they will pay for cosmetic surgeries to eliminate the signs of aging, especially on the face.
To Achieve a Personal Goal
A final reason to have cosmetic surgery is to achieve a personal goal. Some people set goals for themselves to look a certain way or to be a certain weight, and cosmetic surgery can make that possible when other avenues will not.
There are many valid reasons to have cosmetic surgery. However, you should always discuss your particular case with your doctor.

Five Nutritional Tips to Help Your Hair Grow Long and Strong - Ajit Patel UK
They say your hair is your crowning glory, and that’s certainly the case as you age. Healthy hair can help to take years off you, but how do gain that youthful lustre and keep your hair thick and strong? Whether your hair is straight, silky and shiny or curly, wavy and bouncy, the basics of hair health remain the same. According to anti-ageing wellness expert Kajal Thosani, who runs her own consultancy HEALTH&YOU, the four ‘things that are required are: nutritious food, adequate rest, plenty of water and managing your emotions [read stress] well. Hair loss can occur due to a lack of one or more of the above.’ Let’s take a look at how one of these factors – nutrition – can have an impact on your hair.
1. Weight Loss Diets: Thosani notes, ‘If you’re going on a weight loss diet, it will most likely involve the exclusion of carbohydrates. Such harsh restrictions create a lot of stress to your system, and also damage the hair follicles, hampering hair growth. Include five to six servings of fruits and vegetables per day to maintain a healthy intake of carbs. To ensure that this does not interfere with your weight loss goals, go for fruits and vegetables that are low in fructose and starch and high in fibre. Whole grains and cereal are a complex form of carbohydrate providing nutrition for the hair. Say no to refined products and table sugar.’
2. The Shiny Hair Smoothie: For this green elixir for shining tresses, you will need:
Thosani instructs, ‘Juice the spinach, lettuce, coriander and cucumber in a juicer. You could also grind it to a pulp in a grinder and pass it through a sieve. Add some water and dilute it to the consistency of juice. Squeeze some lemon juice to this and add a pinch of rock salt for flavour. Have this magic potion everyday and you will notice the difference in your hair heath within a month.’
3. Protein: Thosani details, ‘Proteins are the building blocks of your hair [and all the cells in your body]. It not only enhances hair growth but also maintains good lustre. If you’re an egg lover, gorge on the scrambled eggs, omelettes or boiled eggs. Weight watchers should avoid eating egg yolks everyday, consume it only twice a week. You can include it as a breakfast option or for dinners in the form of bhurji with roti or boiled egg white salad and soup. Eggs provide essential amino acid required for healthy hair. If you are a vegetarian then paneer paratha or paneer wraps make for good hair healthy breakfast option. In sea food, salmon is best source of protein for hair.’
4. Fats: ‘Don’t restrict yourself from consuming the recommended allowances of good unsaturated fat,’ Thosani cautions. ‘Fats help in the absorption of vitamins A, D, E and K which are necessary for hair growth. Walnuts and almonds are good for hair health. Have four to six nuts as a pre-lunch or pre-dinner snack. Note that eggs also provide unsaturated fats and essential fatty acids required for your hair.’
5. Hydration: ‘Will drinking lots of water help?,’ asks Thosani. ‘Only water will not help. But it is required to absorb biotin, a hair-friendly vitamin. So a diet rich in biotin and lots of water will surely help. Drink 10 to 12 glasses of water per day and also include fresh fruit juices, vegetable juices or soups in your diet. Carrots, cucumbers, spinach, lettuce, cauliflower, eggs, strawberries and goji berries are all rich in biotin. So have lots of these.’

Everyone wants a beautiful smile. If you have crooked teeth, a yellow smile, misshapen gums or missing teeth, you might be embarrassed of your smile. You might even cover your mouth when you grin, or you might attempt to smile with your lips tightly pressed together. Here are some things that you might consider doing in order to improve your own smile:
1. Talk to Your Dentist About Ways to Whiten Your Smile
The market is inundated with tooth whitening products. Some of these are good while others can actually compromise your dental health. Doctors can help guide you to the right products as well as some healthy habits that will keep your teeth whiter. For starters, use a straw any time you drink tea or soda.
2. Consider Clear Aligners for Straightening Your Teeth
Traditional metal braces are uncomfortable and unsightly. Today, however, many people with crooked teeth can get help with clear aligners and other clear or nearly invisible braces and retainers. You can learn more by scheduling a consultation with a local orthodontist.
3. Have Your Gums Reshaped
Are you embarrassed by the shape or appearance of your gums? Individuals with uneven gum lines or gums that rise high on teeth may benefit from gum reshaping. If you’d like to improve your smile in this way, check with your dentist.
4. Floss Regularly
This tip might seem overly simple, but do you actually do it? Flossing regularly provides a number of oral health benefits. It’s the best way to fight and prevent halitosis, and it also helps to prevent tooth decay and eventual loss by removing small, decaying food particles from between the teeth. Flossing helps to prevent gingivitis and can help you avoid the need for gum shaping surgery due to periodontal disease.
5. Drink Plenty of Water
Many different kinds of drinks can stain your pearly whites, but water actually helps to keep your teeth healthy. Drinking tap water is especially helpful for dental health because it includes fluoride, which helps to prevent tooth decay.
You only get one set of natural teeth. You need to take care of them. Follow these tips to keep your mouth healthy, and you’ll have even more reasons to smile. As with any health concern, if you have any questions about your oral health, be sure to ask your personal dentist.

Shunning Soap and Opting for Oil: The OCM Benefits - Ajit Patel UK
If you know anyone who loves the oil cleansing method (OCM to those in the know), you’ll know your friend has ditched good old-fashioned face soap in favour of oil — but why? According to anti-ageing wellness expert Melissa Breyer, ‘The last few years have seen more and more people stepping away from the soapy things; we’ve begun shunning shampoo and giving the cold shoulder to showers. And now, even face soap – one of the most sacred weapons in the beauty routine arsenal – is being ditched by a legion of reformed women who have turned to cleaning their faces with oil. Why would someone clean their face with the very thing they are trying to remove from their face? Well, there are plenty of reasons, and they make perfect sense, as crazy as it may sound.’ So why are more and more women turning to oil?
1. It Actually Cleans Your Skin: Dr. Heather Rogers, a Seattle dermatologist, explains, ‘The concept is that like dissolves like. If you put oil onto your skin, it will then combine with the oils that are layered on your skin. … It will also cut through some of the dirt, and the grease. Castor oil, it’s actually closer to a surfactant [an important substance in soaps] than the other oils. There’s a part that likes oil, so it connects to the oil on your skin, and there’s a part that likes water, so it allows the oils to be carried away by the water.’
2. It Moisturises: Breyer points out, ‘While soap strips away the natural oils in your skin and can lead to dryness, oil doesn’t, leaving skin quenched and potentially alleviating your need to apply moisturiser.’
3. It Can Clear Up Your Acne: ‘For many people, cleansing with oil works to clear acne,’ says Breyer. While most commercial facial cleansers and toners use chemicals to strip the skin’s oil, an action that irritates the skin and causes it to produce more oil as a result, acne.org notes that, ‘When done properly and consistently, the OCM can clear the skin from issues like oily skin, dry skin, sensitive skin, blackheads, white heads and other problems caused by mild to moderate acne — while leaving your skin healthy, balanced and properly moisturised.’
4. It’s Potentially Better for Your Wellbeing: ‘Do you need to be slathering your face with petroleum distillates, parabens, sodium laurel sulfates and synthetic fragrances?’ asks Breyer. ‘If you select cold-pressed or expeller-pressed organic oils, you will be treating your face to sumptuous natural products that are better for your body and, depending on the oils you use, easier on your wallet.’
5. It’s Better for the Environment: Breyer cautions, ‘Soaps with triclosan and other chemicals end up going down the drain … and then find their way to aquatic habitats. In rivers and streams, these chemicals are thought to affect how fish mate and spawn, scientists warn, even when the substances are not present at levels high enough to cause visible damage.’
6. You’ll Glow: Breyer comments, ‘Although it might take a few weeks for your skin to adjust, most OCM advocates testify to softer skin and a big boost in the radiance department.’
7. It’s Easy: ‘No need to pre-clean your skin, just give it a quick rinse with warm water,’ Breyer advises. ‘Pour some oil in your hand and rub it gently all over your face. Massage for two minutes and then let sit for 30 seconds. Soak a washcloth in hot water and cover your face with it; leave it there for 15 seconds or so, then begin to wipe the oil away. Rinse the washcloth and repeat until the oil is gone.’

Get Brighter and Whiter Teeth With These 4 Cool Tricks - Ajit Patel UK
In recent years, there has been a tooth whitening craze with home whitening kits and professional services available. Many people are wanting brighter smiles for a youthful and attractive smile that enhances their appearance but are unwilling to put in the effort necessary. There are several tricks to try at home to ensure that your pearly whites are free of stains and discoloration and a few of them are located right here.
Use Hydrogen Peroxide
An affordable and convenient way of whitening teeth is by using hydrogen peroxide for oral care. Use a three percent solution of hydrogen peroxide with half a teaspoon of water for a homemade mouthwash that can be used daily. Swish it around in the mouth for one to two minutes before spitting it out. It will not only brighten teeth, but will also kill germs within the mouth and help prevent cavities.
Brush with Baking Soda
Baking soda is a natural ingredient that can quickly whiten teeth when used every other day. Simply mix half of a teaspoon of baking soda with half a teaspoon of water while applying to a wet toothbrush. Brush the teeth for an average of two minutes for a gentle way of breaking down stains and discoloration. Avoid brushing for more than two minutes, as baking soda can often be abrasive on the teeth. Similarly, half a teaspoon of baking soda can also be mixed with toothpaste for an easy way of allowing it to taste better.
Chew Sugarless Gum
Sugarless gum isn’t just effective for combating bad breath, but also works to clean the gums and teeth by triggering an influx of saliva. The saliva will then neutralize the acid in the mouth and remove debris from the teeth for a brighter smile.
Use a Straw
Although experts recommend cutting out coffee, tea, and soda from the diet completely to prevent discoloration from occurring on the teeth, it can be unrealistic for those who enjoy their favorite beverage each day. Instead, opt for using a straw, which will work to direct the liquid into the mouth without having any contact onto the front of your teeth. This will allow whitening results to last for up to one year.
Instead of cutting out your favorite foods from your diet, there are easier ways to maintain a beautiful and white smile. By maintaining your oral hygiene throughout the week, it can be easy to prevent stains from occurring due foods and beverages but adding these tricks will be sure to turn the tables in your favor.

- Antioxidants – Your body produces free oxygen radicals when exposed to everyday pollutants and toxins. Certain metabolic activities also produce free radicals. These particles interact with proteins and DNA at the cellular level and lead to cell death and aging. Antioxidants neutralize the free radicals and thereby, help maintain health and vitality. You will notice an improvement in your overall appearance. Berries, oranges, red and black beans, and olives are some of the common sources of antioxidants.
- Calcium – Calcium is important for your bones. Optimal calcium intake can help maintain bone strength and posture and make you look young and energetic. Low-fat dairy products are some of the ideal sources of calcium.
- Vitamin C – Vitamin C is a powerful antioxidant. Recent research has indicated that the vitamin can also help lower the incidence of fine lines and wrinkles. Many anti-aging creams and lotions contain derivatives of this nutrient. You may also obtain vitamin C from foods such as citrus fruits, berries, tomatoes, cabbage and bell peppers.
- Omega-3 fatty acids – Flaxseeds, nuts, salmon and some other types of fish are rich in omega-3 fatty acids. These healthy fats are important components of the cell structure. They also contribute to brain and heart health. Regular consumption of omega-3 fatty acids improves blood circulation, memory and skin texture. You feel young from inside and out.
- Vitamin E – The fat-soluble vitamin promotes healthy skin and hair. It is an effective antioxidant. You feel good at physiological and cellular level, and this well-being manifests in form of glowing skin and youthful appearance.
Apart from these nutrients, simple cosmetic techniques may also enhance your youthful appearance.Regular cleansing and massage may also make a difference. It is important to make a strong commitment and follow a sensible routine for great results.

Beneath Your Skin: Why Understanding Skincare is Essential - Ajit Patel Uk
Your skin is important to your overall wellbeing, as well as being a key marker of your age. As the first line of defence against the world around you, your skin is like a soldier that – as the commanding officer – you need to keep in tip-top shape. Anti-ageing wellness expert Tanisha Herrin, creator of Inspire Creations, explains, ‘The skin can take up to 28 days to replace damaged and dead cells part of skin production. Because the skin is a significant protective barrier constantly working to regulate body temperature and provide essential support to the nervous and immune systems, it is important to make healthy choices when it comes to your skin…Proper skin care includes understanding what your skin needs in order to stay healthy. This includes reviewing skin-related issues and concerns with a dermatologist and how to treat/prevent skin illnesses and disorders.’ Let’s take a closer look at the skincare tips you need to know.
1. Vitamins and Minerals: ‘Consume essential vitamins and minerals,’ Herrin instructs. ‘To help you skin retain its natural glow and maintain moisture, seek vitamins and minerals good for skin health such as vitamins A, E, C, and K. Such vitamins help reduce environmental effects skin is commonly exposed to such as UV rays and air pollution. Essential nutrients can help reduce signs of ageing (wrinkles, fine lines, and skin dryness) and improve skin appearance.’
2. Know Your Skin Type: ‘Have a unique understanding of your skin type,’ Herrin advises. ‘This will make a difference in understanding how skin care products, certain foods, and even lifestyle habits affect your skin health. Discuss skin concerns with a dermatologist or skin specialist.’
3. Adopt Good Skincare Habits: Herrin recommends, ‘Practice good habits with a simple skin care regimen. You can review options available based on your skin type. This can include using a good cleanser and moisturiser in the morning or before you go to bed.’
4. Use Quality Skincare Products: ‘Consider natural and organic skin products,’ suggests Herrin. ‘Take time to read labels and research ingredients you are unfamiliar with. This includes any product you use on the skin including lotions, soaps, cleansers, makeup and sunscreen.’
5. Drink Water: Herrin outlines, ‘Drink plenty of water. Water helps skin stay hydrated and get rid of unnecessary toxins. If you are not drinking enough water this may lead to dry flaky skin.’
6. Eat a Balanced Diet: ‘Eat a well-balanced diet,’ Herrin enthuses. ‘A blend of fresh fruits and vegetables can offer important antioxidants such as vitamins A, C, and E, as well as beta carotene. Omega-3 fatty acids can also help. A good diet can help the skin repair and protect itself from free radicals that cause skin damage.’
7. Use Proper Skin Protection: Herrin cautions, ‘Use proper skin protection. All year round you should be on guard when it comes to protecting skin from harmful UV rays. Just keep in mind as the season changes you may need to switch skincare products. Use recommended SPF sunscreen protection and consider protective clothing and accessories such as hats, long sleeves and sunglasses.
8. Exercise More Often: You should ‘exercise regularly,’ says Herrin. ‘Increased blood flow encourages good oxygen circulation through the skin and body. These elements provide nourishment for skin cells that are constantly developing.’
9. Talk with a Dermatologist: ‘Get expert advice,’ Herrin asserts. ‘Talk to your doctor about skin concerns or get a recommendation to see a dermatologist. Get answers to questions about your skin and learn the best options available to help you take good care of it.’

Skin Peel Suggestions: Getting Ready and Recovering - Ajit Patel UK
If your anti-ageing wellness isn’t as good as it could be, you might be considering a skin peel. However, before you put your wellbeing on the line, you need to know everything you can about getting ready for – and recovering from – a skin peel.
According to R. Merrel Olesen, MD, and Marie B.V. Olesen, authors of Cosmetic Surgery For Dummies, ‘Preparation for a skin peel depends mainly on the type of skin you have and will ultimately be decided by your doctor. Fair-skinned people may not need to be treated before peeling. If you have skin of colour, however, then you’re at increased risk of developing dark spots following your peel. In this case, a pre-treatment regimen including glycolic acid, hydroquinone, and Retin-A (retinoic acid) is frequently suggested to help minimize the possibility of postoperative hyperpigmentation, make your peel more uniform, and decrease your downtime. As a general rule, you should follow the pre-treatment regimen for three to four weeks.’
So that’s preparation, but what about recovery? Olesen and Olesen have five tips you should absolutely follow:
1. Getting through the Pain: Olesen and Olesen soothe, ‘In general, anyone who undergoes a trichloracetic acid (TCA) peel will have a relatively painless post-treatment course. The injured skin stays on the wound and acts as a dressing. This skin doesn’t peel off until the underlying skin is healed. Your skin will feel tight and you will feel like you can’t apply enough moisturiser. Pain, however, isn’t the major symptom. Laser peels and croton oil peels are deeper than most other peels, and for a few days, you’ll experience discomfort from the open wound created by the peel. You’ll receive pain medication and detailed dressing instructions to follow until you’re healed. You’ll also start taking an anti-inflammatory medication before the peel and continue it until you’ve healed. If pain becomes intolerable, call your doctor’s office.’
2. Taking it Easy: ‘After a skin peel, you need to stop all vigorous physical activity,’ Olesen and Olesen assert. ‘If you’re taking any pain medication, you won’t be able to drive because the medication may slow your reaction time or make you drowsy. You’ll be swollen as well, so if you have trouble opening your eyes, you shouldn’t drive. In addition, you should avoid any activity or environment that causes you to sweat because sweating will make your ointment or cream runny and more likely to get into your eyes, causing irritation and blurriness.’
3. Laying Low: Olesen and Olesen point out, ‘Moderate and deep skin peels do have associated downtimes. You’ll want to hide out for seven to ten days, depending on the depth of the peel, because you’ll have excessive peeling during this time or the need to apply heavy coats of petroleum jelly to keep the wound moist. After your wound has completely epithelialized (grown new skin), you can apply cover up makeup and resume normal life activities.’
4. Knowing What’s Normal: ‘Deep skin peels, either with the laser or chemicals, require more labour-intensive care than other peels in the first few days,’ Olesen and Olesen explain. ‘You’ll experience irregular healing based upon skin thickness, and the wound won’t look good to you. You’ll need reassurance from your surgeon that your appearance is normal. Somewhere between two and seven days, you’ll probably wonder if it was all worth it. Be reassured, however, that you’re experiencing normal healing.’
5. Judging the Result: Olesen and Olesen detail, ‘Deep skin peels, either laser or chemical, take several months to heal. Redness means that your skin is still inflamed and still generating collagen. The final result won’t be evident until the redness is gone. The timing of a second peel, if you need one, is up to your doctor. At a minimum, you have to wait until you’re completely healed from the previous procedure, which in most cases takes several months. Many doctors wouldn’t even consider doing a second peel for six to nine months.’

Brightening Your Smile: Four Questions About Teeth Whitening - Ajit Patel UK
When you look at a group picture, it is easy to tell who is proud of their teeth and who are ashamed of them. One of the primary reasons why individuals are embarrassed of their smile is because their teeth have gone from being pearly white to taking on a dingy yellowish color. Individuals who are looking to improve the appearance of their smile should talk to their dentist and see what options are available for teeth whitening. Some of the questions include the following:
1. Is teeth whitening safe?
There is very little danger associated with teeth whitening. This is especially true if the patient follows all of the instructions they receive from their dentist. Some individuals who have had teeth whitening treatments have experienced gum or tooth sensitivity. But, usually, these problems are only temporary. Individuals who use at-home teeth whitening kits may encounter more serious problems if they do not use the product according to the guidelines laid out by the product’s manufacturer. The number one cause of problems with tooth whitening at-home kits come when individuals use these products longer than what is recommended on the label.
2. Is there any benefit to having teeth whitening done by a dentist as opposed to using an at-home kit?
Professional teeth whitening is designed to give an individual a beautiful smile. When a person has a whiter smile, they look younger, and as a side effect, they feel happier. There are plenty of advantages to having your teeth whitened professional. “Over the counter strips and trays may seem like a good solution in the short term, but for long-lasting results these products often prove inadequate and ineffective,” advises dentist in Calgary at Dentrix Dental Care. Professional teeth whitening is a lot quicker. Often times, teeth can be whitened with just one visit. Conversely, whitening kits may take several applications and are usually messy.
3. What is the difference between the solution that is used in at-home kits as opposed to those used by dentists?
One of the differences is the bleach content that each of these chemicals have. The majority of at-home, do-it-yourself kits do not have the concentration of bleach necessary in order to provide long-term whitening effects. The reason for this is because, by law, whitening solutions with a high content of bleach cannot be sold over-the-counter. Conversely, professionals use the right amount of bleach content in order to guarantee that their patients walk away with perfectly white teeth.
4. Are there any other benefits to having teeth professionally whitened by a dentist?
Yes, every single individual has different teeth. Over-the-counter kits do not take these differences into consideration. Conversely, a trained professional dentist will be able to do this. They will also be able to take steps to see to it that no damage is done to gums or to the teeth during the whitening process.
Having white teeth and a beautiful smile increases an individual’s self-esteem. When a person is more confident, others are attracted to them. As a result, their quality of life improves.

1. Is teeth whitening safe?
There is very little danger associated with teeth whitening. This is especially true if the patient follows all of the instructions they receive from their dentist. Some individuals who have had teeth whitening treatments have experienced gum or tooth sensitivity. But, usually, these problems are only temporary. Individuals who use at-home teeth whitening kits may encounter more serious problems if they do not use the product according to the guidelines laid out by the product’s manufacturer.

Acne Attack: How to Prevent Future Breakouts Without Spending a Penny - Ajit Patel UK
Acne breakouts can really be a cost to your financial wellness – not to mention your self-confidence. However, you can protect your emotional wellbeing against future breakouts without spending a penny. According to anti-ageing wellness expert Angela Ayles, ‘Acne breakouts often occur because of changes you’ve made to your daily routine. Maybe you’ve started using a different laundry detergent, shampoo, face cream or soap. These are often the biggest culprits of an acne breakout.’ As well as identifying the reason behind your acne – and eliminating the culprit – here are seven things you can do to prevent breakouts.
1. Choose Acne-Friendly Makeup: Ayles explains, ‘The makeup you use (and how much you use) has a big impact on the health of your skin. If you’re prone to breakouts, look for products that say “non-comedogenic” on the label. This means that the product is specifically designed not to clog your pores. Clogged pores are one of the leading causes of breakouts.’
2. Change Your Pillow Case Every Week: ‘Forget the $50 bottle of acne cream you’ve been purchasing every month,’ Ayles enthuses. ‘Changing your pillow case is a proven method for preventing breakouts. All of the sweat, dirt and makeup from your face is seeping into your pillow every night. If you don’t wash your pillow cases regularly you’re basically planting your face on a pillow of sweat and dirt for eight hours. Washing your cases will give your face the fresh rest it needs at the end of the day.’
3. Moisturise: Ayles notes, ‘If you’ve turned to acne products to control your outbreaks (which most of you probably have), the importance of moisturising becomes a key component in keeping your breakouts at bay. Most acne products contain ingredients that dry out the skin, thus, moisturising immediately after is critical. Make sure you hydrate your skin with water before applying the moisturiser.’
4. Review Your Shampoo: ‘Have you noticed that you’ve been breaking out a lot more than usual lately?’ Ayles asks. ‘You might want to check your shampoo. Shampoos and conditioners with a lot fragrance and chemicals can irritate skin and cause breakouts on your forehead, jaw, neck and back. Considering using non-fragrance products (or all-natural products) and always make sure you rinse the shampoo out of your hair completely before washing your face in the shower.’
5. Stop Touching Your Face: ‘This might seem like common sense but keeping your hands away from your face is harder than you think,’ says Ayles. ‘If you’re sitting in class or at work, chances are your head is resting on your hands and your fingers are running up your cheeks. These movements can cause irritation and spark a breakout. Keeping your hands and fingers off your face will keep it clean and healthy and help eliminate future breakouts.’
6. Check Your Laundry Detergent: Ayles points out, ‘Much like shampoos, laundry detergents can be a huge culprit when it comes to breakouts. If you’re experiencing more breakouts than normal it could very well have to do with the ingredients in your detergent. Many soaps contain harsh chemicals and fragrances that can irritate skin (especially when you use towels to dry your face). Try switching to a non-fragrance detergent or one with more natural ingredients and see if you’re breakouts start to fade.’
7. Go Easy on the Makeup: Ayles advises, ‘This may be hard for some girls (especially those in high school) but lightening up on the makeup will almost certainly help control your breakouts. Not only are the ingredients in most makeup products bad for your skin but applying makeup means touching your face, which can lead to a breakout. If you must wear makeup, try adding a dab of liquid foundation to an all-natural moisturiser which will help hydrate the skin instead of drying it out.’

8 Anti-Ageing Experts Share Their Personal Care Tips - Ajit Patel UK
Have you ever experienced anti-ageing wellness envy? You shamelessly stare at your hairdresser, dermatologist, or dentist and think, How the heck does she pull it off? What’s the secret to her great hair, pore-free complexion, or flawless teeth? Well, read on to find out how the beauty industry’s top experts take care of their own wellbeing, so you can better take care of yours.
1. Open Sesame: According to Lisa Hedley, founder and creative director of the Mayflower Inn and Spa, ‘First thing every morning, I massage organic sesame oil from the health-food store all over my body. Working it in wakes me up and really gets my blood circulating. Plus, the oil hydrates my skin, giving it a healthy glow. Then I jump in the shower—the oil naturally cleans away dead skin cells.’
2. Go Fish: ‘Anti-inflammatories are the best anti-agers out there,’ asserts Arlene Noodleman, MD, medical director of the Age Defy Dermatology and Wellness Centre. ‘From improving heart and immune functions to helping hair grow and skin look supple, they truly do wonders. I take three 500 milligram capsules of omega-3 fish oil in the morning and at night. I look for labels that say, “molecularly distilled for purity,” which means pesticide-free.’
3. Java Stripped: ‘I avoid stained teeth by drinking my coffee quickly,’ says cosmetic dentist Elisa Mello, DDS. ‘If you sip it over the course of an hour, it keeps coating and recoating. The same goes for other staining liquids, like tea and dark juices.’
4. Turn the Base Down Low: Joanna Schlip, celebrity makeup artist for Physician’s Formula, notes, ‘I’ve stopped using foundation every day, because it settles into wrinkles and makes them more noticeable. I start with a concealer just where I need it (under-eye area, blemishes, etc.) and follow it with an all-over application of tinted moisturiser.’
5. Simple Plan: Karen M. Horton, MD, plastic surgeon and reconstructive microsurgeon at the Women’s Plastic Surgery Centre, details, ‘Because I’m a plastic surgeon, companies send me so many skin-care samples—and some of them have 10 different steps! But I’m realistic, so there’s no way I’m going to sign up for some huge beauty system that costs hundreds of dollars and requires a commitment that I’m not willing to make. Honestly, here’s my daily skin-care routine: I go home, wash my face with a drugstore cleanser, put on a moisturiser, and fall into bed. I find that this simple regimen works well for me.’
6. Ditch the Sweet Tooth: ‘The number-one ingredient that I avoid in my diet is processed sugar,’ says Ava Shamban, MD, dermatologist and owner of the Laser Institute for Dermatology and Skin care. ‘The reason: It speeds up the ageing process by binding to and eventually weakening the collagen in your skin, which can lead to premature wrinkles and sagging. I eat lots of vegetables and fruits every day—and I steer clear of Twinkies at all costs!’
7…and Scrub It On Instead: ‘In the shower, I lather my hands with a mild cleanser, add a handful of white sugar, and slather it all over my face and body,’ celebrity makeup artist Carmindy reveals. ‘It makes my skin so smooth and creates a great canvas for makeup.’
8. All-Night Hair Care: Laura Hittleman, corporate director of beauty services at Canyon Ranch, admits, ‘At night, I straighten my hair with a flat iron and put it up in a loose ponytail right above my forehead—it’s not cute, but I don’t care—and wear it like that all night. When I take it down in the morning, it has such a youthful bounce to it.’

How to Make Sure That the Sun Doesn’t Tan You - Ajit Patel UK
When it comes to anti-aging and the wellness and wellbeing of your skin, there is one tip that surpasses all others in terms of importance: stay out of the sun. Skin tanning has increased, especially as harmful UV rays start to penetrate the Earth’s atmosphere more prominently. We’re not just talking about lying on a beach getting a deliberate tan, either. Tanning can occur when you are going about your daily life, due to the prevalence of these harmful UV rays. It is a problem for both men and women, and something that all people should be aware of at all ages.
To protect your skin from tanning, you should ensure that you put in place a robust skin care regime. Prolonged exposure to the harsh sun can cause burns as well as leading to sun spots on the skin, but there are things that you can do to reduce tanning. These are natural ways that do not involve using sun blocks or sun lotions (many of which are quite ineffective).
It is important to use a sun block or lotion whenever you are out in the sun, but it is not enough to simply rely on this to protect you from tanning. The easiest and most convenient way of protecting your skin from tanning is to cover it up. Cover your hands and legs and your face when you are out.
A decent scrub can also help to remove tan from the skin. Every time you have been exposed to the sun, you should use a good scrub to remove dead skin cells and tan. If you don’t manage to do this every day, then aim for at least once a week to get the tan off your skin. Do not bleach your skin – ever. When you bleach your skin and then expose it to the sun, you are actually more susceptible to tanning than ever before.

Fight to the Finish: How to Battle Your Dry Skin Problem - Ajit Patel UK
In your teens, your skincare wellness tends to revolve around eliminating acne, and then you hit that sweet spot in your twenties in which skin problems no longer plague your wellbeing. Your skin is clear, glowing and soft with minimal to no effort on your part – if only things stayed that way forever! Unfortunately, skin problems are never that far away, and if acne is no longer an issue, you’ve got something new you need to deal with: dry skin. Unlike acne, dry skin isn’t something you naturally grow out of; it’s a problem you need to take steps to eliminate or it will continue to get worse.
According to anti-ageing wellness expert Anvi Mehta, ‘Rough and dry skin can be embarrassing some times. Nobody wants to show their rough, dry and flaky skin to anybody. Skin can become rough and dry because of exposure to sun and pollution, temperature and climatic conditions, dehydration of skin and skin related diseases. Rough skin tends to cause patches, flakes, cracks and redness all over the skin. The common areas of rough skin patches are the elbows, knees, heels and cheeks. Skincare for rough skin is essential to improve the texture of your skin.’ But how do you rub away the rough and leave yourself with smooth, soft skin?
1. Add Moisture: ‘The most important factor for skin care for rough skin includes re-hydrating the dry part,’ says Mehta. ‘For this, use a good moisturiser preferably made from milk and cream extracts. The more you rub a moisturiser on the rough skin, the sooner you shall have a change in skin quality. Using a good and natural moisturiser is a skin care tip for rough skin.’
2. Scrub Away the Rough: Mehta notes, ‘Rough skin is generally because of the dead skin cells and damaged cells. Skincare for rough skin includes removing the dead skins cells. To do so, use a good scrub at least once a week. Rub the scrub on the area of rough and dry skin for 10-15 minutes and then rinse with water. Apply moisturiser after scrubbing your skin. The scrub will help to remove unwanted skin cells and boost the growth of new skin cells. Skin becomes supple and soft after using a scrub. Visible effects are observed after a few weeks. This is also a good skin care tip for rough skin.’
3. Use Less Soap: ‘Soap contains certain chemicals that can make your skin more dull and dry,’ Mehta explains. ‘Especially for the face, avoid using soaps and replace them with a gentle face wash. Soaps tend to absorb all the moisture from the skin and make the skin rough and dry. Skin care for rough skin requires use of naturally made face washes which are sensitive towards skin and helps to enhance the texture of the skin. This is a must do tip for rough skin.’
4. Try to Relax: Mehta points out, ‘Stress also leads to skin problems and diseases. For a healthy skin it is necessary for you to be happy and mentally stable. Do not stress yourself too much; it may affect the skin quality. Take a spa appointment or relax in your gym steam room at regular intervals of time to relax your body. De-stressing is one of the skin tips for rough skin.’
5. Eat Healthily and Drink Water: ‘Healthy eating habits also show good results for skin care for rough skin,’ asserts Mehta. ‘Eat fruits with high water content to replenish your skin. Dry skin is mainly because of dehydration. Also drink a lot of water to rejuvenate your skin cells.’

How to Harness the Skincare Potential of Charcoal - Ajit Patel UK
Unless you’re an artist or a fireman, your experience with charcoal is probably limited to the odd summertime barbeque, or perhaps Santa put it in your stocking as a kid. However, you’ve probably avoided charcoal in the past, or, at least, touching it. The second you touch charcoal, it gets all over your hands and clothes and you want nothing more than to wash it off. However, before you head to the tap after your next summer barbeque, hold off; you may be screwing your skin out of some serious wellness potential.
According to anti-ageing wellness expert Tynan Buck, beauty editor at XO Jane, ‘Because of its natural detoxifying properties, [charcoal] can be used to whiten teeth, remove poisons from your body, and cleanse! I’ve recently started trying out charcoal products and there are a few of them that I like so much that I’ve incorporated them into my normal skin care routine. My biggest issue with my skin is that, if left unattended, my pores clog up easily. I’m obsessively opposed to blackheads and will do anything to get rid of them, and to prevent their return (and they always return). I had heard that charcoal helps actively yank dirt out of your pores, and after using these three products, I buy it.’ So which products helped Buck to harness the power of charcoal?
1. Garnier Clean + Blackhead Eliminating Scrub: Buck details, ‘I start every shower with this exfoliating scrub. It’s an extra step getting ready in the morning, but it’s so good that I never skip it (or forget it.) It’s a gel-based exfoliating cleanser that’s surprisingly thick when you rub it in between your fingers, and really clings to your face as you scrub, which makes me feel like the charcoal is really sucking the grime out of my pores. The exfoliators deeply clean your face without being too abrasive to use every day. Personally, I use it about every other day, but do your thing.’
2. Garnier’s Clean + Shine Control Cleansing Gel: ‘After I’ve exfoliated all of the crap that’s built up on my face, I hit it with another dose of charcoal with Garnier’s Clean + Shine Control Cleansing Gel,’ notes Buck. ‘Much like its exfoliating counterpart, this is also a gel cleanser. This one is different because unlike the exfoliator, this gel cleaner is thinner than I expected. I only use about a nickel-sized drop and the cleanser does all the heavy lifting for me, dissolving dirt and any excess makeup from the day. It also keeps its promise of preventing oil build up and shine throughout the day.’
3. Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask: ‘Another way to take advantage of the detoxifying benefits of my new best friend, charcoal, is with the Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask,’ says Buck. ‘Origins combines the grime fighting properties of charcoal with white clay, which also works to absorb toxins from the skin. This mask works to draw out impurities from deep beneath the surface of your skin and dissolving dead skin cells, leaving your face looking clearer from the inside out. Simply apply a thin but solid layer to problem areas or your entire face, and let dry, which only takes about five minutes. You’ll know it’s ready to remove when you can touch your fingers to the mask without removing any reside. Then, softly scrub off with a warm cloth and admire your beautiful face. A tube is 3.4 ounces, which would last you a while. I used only a nickel-sized drop of the mask and it more than covered my face, and I have a big face.’

Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask: ‘Another way to take advantage of the detoxifying benefits of my new best friend, charcoal, is with the Origins Clear Improvement Active Charcoal Mask,’ says Buck. ‘Origins combines the grime fighting properties of charcoal with white clay, which also works to absorb toxins from the skin. This mask works to draw out impurities from deep beneath the surface of your skin and dissolving dead skin cells, leaving your face looking clearer from the inside out. Simply apply a thin but solid layer to problem areas or your entire face, and let dry, which only takes about five minutes. You’ll know it’s ready to remove when you can touch your fingers to the mask without removing any reside. Then, softly scrub off with a warm cloth and admire your beautiful face. A tube is 3.4 ounces, which would last you a while. I used only a nickel-sized drop of the mask and it more than covered my face, and I have a big face.’

Problem Areas of Your Body and How to Make them Look Younger - Ajit Patel UK
As you age, your skin naturally becomes more fragile. The outer layer of your skin, which is called the epidermis, starts to thin even though the number of cell layers remains constant. On top of that, the number of pigmented cells, or melanocytes, begins to decrease, and the melanocytes that are left begins to enlarge. For these reasons, aging skin will appear thinner, paler, and clearer. The aging process is inevitable, but there are ways you can conceal or slow that process down. Here are some common problem areas associated with aging and some of the things you can do to make them look younger.
Double chin
A double chin is a layer of fat that sags down from around the neck. There are several causes of a double chin: age, genetics, and excess weight. In the past, there were few methods of improving the look of one’s neck other than surgery. Today, less invasive techniques exist. Ulthera is a skin-lifting procedure that utilizes ultrasound to encourage collagen growth under the skin. It has been shown that one treatment alone can radically improve the contours of sagging double chins. Still, the neck lift remains the best option for permanently eliminating the issue. Performed by a plastic surgeon, a necklift improves the appearance of your neck by removing or altering excess skin and fat.
Wrinkles
As we age, the elastin fibers in our skin begin to wear out. This is what causes wrinkles. There are a number of anti-wrinkle creams that are both affordable and effective. The best creams will include retinol, a form of vitamin A and a wrinkle smoother that reduces lines quickly. Retinol is an essential vitamin for skin health, and it will encourage collagen growth and can help unclog pores. Many women don’t get enough of the desired results from using anti-wrinkle creams, so they enlist the help of a facelift to smooth away wrinkles and tighten the skin on the face. As we look at the history of facelifts, it is easy to see that these procedures have improved with technological advancements and today they are fare less invasive, with quicker recovery times.
Varicose veins
Varicose veins are enlarged veins that appear blue or red, and you’ll typically find them on your legs as you age. They are caused by weakened valves in the veins and sometimes referred to as “spiderweb” veins because of their web-like appearance. There are some over the counter creams that will help the circulation within your legs and possibly reduce the visibility of these veins. Smaller varicose veins can be treated with lasers, which cause the veins to collapse and disappear. Larger varicose veins will need to be treated with sclerotherapy. This method involves injecting the veins with a solution that causes the veins to collapse and disappear.
Baggy Eyelids
As the skin begins to the thin around the eyes, it may also start to sag. Applying a moisturizer will help the skin keep its volume. As you get older, this skin will become more saggy, so if you start to experience this type of drooping early in life, you might consider a procedure to help keep the skin tight in that area. Baggy eyelids can be treated with an intense pulse light, which smooths out the skin. Usually, this procedure costs around $800, and should always be performed by a board certified plastic surgeon who can safely eliminate the extra skin, while making your face look natural.
Age Spots
Age spots are caused by the exposure to the sun’s ultraviolet radiation over one’s lifetime. Even if you protect yourself in the sun, you might still see these spots pop up as you get older. The best way to get rid of them is through laser treatment. Usually, one or two treatments are needed, at $400 to $700 per treatment, after which you should see major reduction in the spots, and hopefully a more even skin tone. These spots are typically found on the arms and legs, but you can also get them on your face, and other areas that have had high exposure to ultraviolet rays over the years.
While the tips listed above might dramatically improve problems you might have with your skin, the best way to look young is to save yourself from the preventable causes of aging. Protect your skin from sun exposure by wearing sunscreen and avoiding sun tanning. If you’re a smoker, quit smoking immediately. Eat a healthy diet full of antioxidants, such as vitamins C and E, in addition to vitamins A and B. As you age, you’ll notice differences in your skin and body, some of these can be remedied, and others cannot. There are plenty of products and procedures available to help you look younger, however, nothing keeps you looking young like a healthy, happy lifestyle.

Cool-Down, Fuel Up, Cleanse: Your Post-Workout Skincare - Ajit Patel UK
There’s no denying the benefits exercise has to your overall wellbeing – but you still have to take special measures to look after your body following a workout. You cool-down, fuel up and massage those aching muscles, so why don’t you give your skin wellness the same care and attention? According to anti-ageing wellness expert Anvi Mehta, ‘Regular workouts regulate the body functioning and stimulate the body processes. There is a lot of sweating, and release of body toxins. This helps to open the skin pores and rejuvenate skin cells. Post workout care generally is done to cool down the body. The post workout care should contribute to skin care and nourishment as well.’ But how do you do it? Let’s look at a few tips to help you look after your skin following a workout.
1. Avoid the Sun: ‘Our skin pores are open after a gym workout,’ Mehta explains. ‘Avoid going directly in the sun after a workout session is over. The sun rays can cause harm to your skin. Your skin may get tanned by direct exposure to sunlight. For a post workout care, the first thing you do is cover your face with a scarf when you are out in the sun immediately after a workout. You can also use a sun block cream or lotion, but it does not protect the skin as much as covering your face would do.’
2. Cleanse, Cleanse, Cleanse: Mehta points out, ‘When working out you sweat a lot. You are sweaty and sticky from top to toe after working out. A post workout care you must diligently follow is have a shower after cooling or relaxing yourself. The sweat can make you uncomfortable and it becomes a dwelling place for bacteria, viruses, dust and dirt. Therefore, clean yourself after a workout. Do not be harsh on your skin, use mild shower gels and a soft loofah to clean yourself.’
3. Re-Hydrate: ‘Your body is drained out of water after a workout,’ warns Mehta. ‘You must re-hydrate your skin and body after a workout session. Drink a lot of water to hydrate your body. Also, use a lot of moisturiser on your skin after a shower. Your skin needs moisture to become supple and soft again. Use a moisturiser of a good company for this purpose. Do not use a moisturiser unless you have had a shower. Sweaty skin should not be layered with a cream. Use this tip for skin care after workout.’
4. Be Hygienic: Mehta warns, ‘If you opt for a gym washroom for a shower, be careful of the towels and cleansing products you use. Do not use towels already used by someone. The sweat of other people can cause acne on your skin. You must use clean and washed towels to clean your body off from the sweat. Cleaning your skin should be hygienic. This is a must-follow tip for skin care after workout. Also, avoid wearing gym clothes after washing yourself clean. Gym clothes will be sweaty and grimy, they may cause acne and other skin related problems.’
5. Avoid Contamination: ‘Everybody in the gym sweats because of the exercises they are doing,’ says Mehta. ‘After a workout, avoid touching anybody else who is still working out. Coming in contact with other people’s sweat may also cause skin acne, pimples and other related problems. After a workout, avoid coming in contact with other people, their sweat filled clothes, towels, etc. This is an important post workout tip for skin care after a workout. When you are in a gym you must be careful with your skin.’

Face Value – Debunking the 6 Biggest Skin Care Myths Out There - Ajit Patel UK
No matter your age, having a good skin is a trait we all desire. We’re always looking for the newest product or treatment to give us flawless skin, and sometimes we even try crazy methods in hopes that it will improve our skin. There’s a lot of information out there about skin care, which unfortunately means that there is also a lot of misinformation out there as well. It can be tough to determine what is factual and what is just a myth when it comes to skin care, but because skin care is essential to proper health, it is necessary to avoid some of the popular myths circulating. The most common of these myths can be found below.
Myth 1 – You Don’t Need Sunscreen on Cloudy Days
You may be great at applying sunscreen on blistering sunny days, but we often think that unless the sun is out, it can’t harm our skin. Both UVB and UVA rays can be very harmful for the skin. Sadly, even on cloudy days these rays can penetrate clouds and cause a very large amount of damage to the skin. In order to prevent this, be certain to wear sunscreen during the day, no matter the weather conditions. You can also invest in some makeup that has SPF in it, so you don’t have to remember the extra step of putting sunscreen on.
Myth 2 – Scrubbing with Soap is Good for Acne and General Skin Care
You’ve probably heard that scrubbing your face with soap will help your acne and clear up some blemishes, however, this isn’t necessarily true. According to the professionals of Associated Dermatologists, because some types of soap can be very astringent, it is typically not a good idea to use highly alkaline soaps, as they can irritate skin and actually contribute to acne. Additionally, these soaps can destroy all oils on the skin, causing skin to overproduce natural oils, also contributing to acne. In order to avoid this, be certain to use gentle soaps.
Myth 3 – Expensive Skin Products are the Best
This is a common skin care misconception, and unfortunately we often think the more money we spend on skin care products, the better our skin will look. While expensive, these products are more of a status symbol than an effective skin care product; however, there are expensive and high-quality skin care products. In order to avoid overpaying for a skin care product, be sure to do research prior—see if you can find any reviews about the product or ask your dermatologist if the results are truly worth the money. While you will surely want quality products to treat your skin with, you can find good skin care products for reasonable prices at the grocery store.
Myth 4 – All Facials are Good for Your Skin
While facials can have great temporary benefits for the skin, there are no positive long-term effects from these treatments; in fact, both facials and microdermabrasion can actually cause acne if you use them too much. This isn’t true of all facials, but it is important to be careful with they types of facials you use and how often you use them. Some facials can wear on your skin and make the exterior thinner. Consult with your dermatologist about specific facials to use or avoid depending on your skin type.
Myth 5 – Laser Treatments can Make you Look 30 Years Younger
While laser treatments can be effective, they typically aren’t as effective as advertised. These treatments can be effective in the reduction of sun spots and wrinkles; however, don’t be misled by overzealous advertisements. These treatments can get expensive, so it might be more worth your money to invest in anti-aging skin care products to apply naturally instead. Most women are disappointed by the results (or lack thereof) of their laser treatments, so carefully consider whether or not it is worth the investment.
Myth 6 – Popping Pimples is a Good Idea
While popping a pimple can give one a feeling of satisfaction, it can actually force pus deeper within the skin, reinforcing the infection. For those who can’t stop popping their pimples, it is necessary to use something called a comedone extractor, a small tool that will help remove blackheads and whiteheads. It can be tough to resist the temptation, but if you leave your face alone, your zits will go away much faster than if you try and pop them—just fueling the infection’s fire.
Because these myths are so prevalent, it can be tough to know what to believe. You must remember that everyone’s skin is different, and what is good for one person’s skin, could be bad for someone else’s. If you can find products that work well for your skin, you should stick to those instead of following after crazy or drastic trends that claim to give you perfect skin. If you haven’t found any products that help your skin, consult a dermatologist in order to get professional advice about what kinds of products will be best for your skin specifically.

6 Skin Myths that Can Actually Cause You to Age More Quickly - Ajit Patel UK
There are more anti-ageing wellness myths than there are products on the shelf, whether they hail from generational Chinese whispers, or their grounding in “modern technology.” However, with the help of wellness experts, doctors and years of research, we’ve separated fact from fiction.
1. You Should Scrub Your Skin Squeaky-Clean: Whether you wash your face more than twice a day, or with products that leave your skin as tight as a drum, you can actually do more harm than good to the wellbeing of your skin. According to dermatologist Dr. Cheryl Karcher, ‘The water-cleanser combo can strip the skin of its natural oils and compromise its barrier, which can set you up for irritation and dehydration.’ Therefore, it’s best to avoid cleansers that contain harsh surfactants – which includes sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), and ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS) – as these products rid your skin of too much oil and leave it so dry that it feels taut. Instead, look for gentler cleansers that include ingredients such as coco betaine, cocamidopropyl betaine, coco glucoside, decyl glucoside, and sucrose laurate.
2. Botox Can Prevent Wrinkles: While this is theoretically true, no long-term studies support this claim. Cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Fredric Brandt explains, ‘If you relax the muscles that continually contract, you’ll be less apt to see creases over time. But other strategies, like using sunscreen and keeping up proper skin care, are more reliable and certainly less expensive options for fending off wrinkles.’ If you really must go for Botox, dermatologist Karyn Grossman recommends beginning Botox treatments no earlier than your 30s, which is when fine lines first appear.
3. Oily Skin Doesn’t Wrinkle as Much as Dry Skin: Brandt notes, ‘Oily skin may fend off wrinkles more easily because it tends to be thicker, which affords more natural protection against sun damage.’ Dr. Ruthie Harper, an internist in Austin, Texas, adds, ‘Women with oily skin may have higher testosterone levels, which can help protect against diminished collagen levels and, in turn, wrinkles.’ That said, oil-prone skin can still look old, especially when you consider the fact that factors such as sun exposure and smoking speed up the ageing process and cause wrinkles, regardless of your skin type.
4. Junk Food Causes Acne: Dermotologist David Bank confirms, ‘So far, no studies have shown a direct correlation between junk food and breakouts or acne.’ Yet high-glycaemic foods (typically foods that contain refined carbohydrates) have recently been linked to breakouts among people who are acne-prone. This is because such foods can quickly raise your blood sugar and insulin levels, leading to inflammation and, as a result, acne. Therefore, Harper recommends limiting these possible triggers and balancing them out with foods and beverages that contain anti-inflammatory benefits, such as green tea, broccoli, and fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.
5. You Should Use Skincare Products From the Same Line: ‘Generally this is just clever marketing,’ says Bank. However, certain ingredients do become more effective when used together, and so some companies spread these factors out amongst their lines. Salicylic acid and glycolic acid, for example, work to unclog pores and prevent future spots, and so companies tend to separate these ingredients into two products – often an anti-acne cleanser and a gel treatment. Grossman admits, ‘If you’re trying to address a specific problem, like acne-prone skin or dark spots, this prepackaged approach may make it easier.’
6. You Can Get Rid of Cellulite: ‘No cellulite fix is permanent,’ warns dermatologist Dr. Howard Sobel. ‘Even liposuction, which removes excess deep-fat deposits, doesn’t necessarily improve the surface of the skin to the degree where the dimpled effect is invisible.’

Five Rear View Beauty Problems You Can Put Behind You - Ajit Patel UK
You might not think your anti-ageing wellness lies in the rear view mirror, but it does. Think back flab, bingo wings and cankles, and you’ll be rushing to the gym in a bid to look younger and more toned! However, don’t let your mental wellbeing get in a spin over a side of your body you rarely see; just follow our simple backside beautifiers and you can flaunt a hot rear view with crazy confidence.
1. Bacne: According to cosmetic dermatologist Paul Frank, MD, ‘Back acne often has the same triggers as facial acne – hormones spur an increase in oil production, and dirt and sweat clog pores – yet it’s typically tougher to treat because creams are rubbed away when you put on clothes or lie down. And this type of acne can be extreme because the skin on that part of the back is thicker and the hair follicles are larger, creating a perfect breeding ground for bacteria.’ So how do you fix it? Beauty and wellness expert Nicole Catanese advises, ‘Grab a loofah that has a handle or attach the Clarisonic Body Brush Extension Handle ($25, clarisonic.com) to your go-to face tool, then lather up your back with an acne wash that contains salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to unclog pores.’
2. Chicken Arms: ‘You do a gazillion tricep dips for sexy arms, yet you’ve got stubborn red bumps,’ notes Catanese. ‘Why do you have “chicken skin” on your arms but your friend doesn’t? Genetic roulette. But you’re not alone: About half of women have what are called keratosis pilaris, or KP.’ To beat the little red bumps, dermatologist Jeannette Graf, MD, recommends daily buffing with gentle exfoliators that have fine granules and hydrators like glycerin and hyaluronic acid. She explains, ‘These products break down dead skin on the surface, clearing the hair follicles.’
3. Stretch-Mark Legs: Dr. Graf elaborates, ‘When skin grows faster than it was meant to – from rapid weight gain – its network of collagen fibres becomes uneven and creates visible indentations.’ To rid your legs of stretch marks, Catanese advises, ‘Use the same retinol (or Rx retinoid) or peptides that you use to firm your face, or try skin smoothers with silicone, such as dimethicone. To prevent stretch marks during pregnancy, slather on creams with moisturizing cocoa butter and hyaluronic acid, then follow up with a body oil.’
4. Spider Veins: M. Dean Vistnes, MD, the founder of SkinSpirit skin-care clinic and spa and a plastic surgeon in Palo Alto, California, points out, ‘The tiny spider veins on your calves and the backs of your thighs tend to get worse with age because the small blood vessels there don’t work as well as they once did and become dilated.’ Medically speaking, you have nothing to worry about. However, if you don’t like the sight of your spider veins, Catanese suggests, ‘Hide veins temporarily with body makeup like St. Tropez Self Tan Perfect Legs Spray ($18, sttropeztan.com). For more coverage, pat on concealer with a makeup sponge.’
5. Cellulite: Catanese laments, ‘No matter how good you are about eating salad for lunch and saying no to a second piece of cake, the cellulite on the back of your thighs and rear stays put. Cellulite is actually a skin condition, which explains why even women who are a size two can have it.’ Dr. Frank adds, ‘Foods that are acidic or cause inflammation, such as diet soda and processed snacks like chips, cause fat cells to swell, making cellulite look worse.’ So cut down on your intake of inflammatory foods. Catanese also recommends, ‘Regular leg workouts like squats and lunges help rev up circulation, which also keeps puffiness at bay.’

1. Bacne: According to cosmetic dermatologist Paul Frank, MD, ‘Back acne often has the same triggers as facial acne – hormones spur an increase in oil production, and dirt and sweat clog pores – yet it’s typically tougher to treat because creams are rubbed away when you put on clothes or lie down. And this type of acne can be extreme because the skin on that part of the back is thicker and the hair follicles are larger, creating a perfect breeding ground for bacteria.’ So how do you fix it? Beauty and wellness expert Nicole Catanese advises, ‘Grab a loofah that has a handle or attach the Clarisonic Body Brush Extension Handle ($25, clarisonic.com) to your go-to face tool, then lather up your back with an acne wash that contains salicylic acid or benzoyl peroxide to unclog pores.’
2. Chicken Arms: ‘You do a gazillion tricep dips for sexy arms, yet you’ve got stubborn red bumps,’ notes Catanese. ‘Why do you have “chicken skin” on your arms but your friend doesn’t? Genetic roulette. But you’re not alone: About half of women have what are called keratosis pilaris, or KP.’ To beat the little red bumps, dermatologist Jeannette Graf, MD, recommends daily buffing with gentle exfoliators that have fine granules and hydrators like glycerin and hyaluronic acid. She explains, ‘These products break down dead skin on the surface, clearing the hair follicles.’

Stretch-Mark Legs: Dr. Graf elaborates, ‘When skin grows faster than it was meant to – from rapid weight gain – its network of collagen fibres becomes uneven and creates visible indentations.’ To rid your legs of stretch marks, Catanese advises, ‘Use the same retinol (or Rx retinoid) or peptides that you use to firm your face, or try skin smoothers with silicone, such as dimethicone.

How to Stop the Summer Sun Damaging Your Hair and Skin - Ajit Patel UK
While most of us can’t wait for the summer weather, your anti-ageing wellness certainly can. Summer fries your hair and damages your skin, so how can you enjoy the sunshine without putting your wellbeing – not to mention all the effort you’ve made on your beauty regime – at risk? Let’s take a look at the best skin and hair care tips for battling the summer sun:
1. Uneven Skin Tone: Francesca Fusco, MD, a dermatologist in New York City, advises, ‘Add a retinol serum to your regimen. It will increase cell turnover and lighten any freckles and brown spots on your face, the backs of your hands, and your décolletage.’ She adds, ‘While you’re waiting for your spots to fade, conceal them with a tinted mineral powder.’
2. Clogged Pores: ‘Wearing sunscreen is the best way to protect your skin, but there is one drawback: Layering it on can result in blocked pores,’ warns anti-ageing wellness expert Heather Muir. ‘Scrub with an exfoliant twice a day to clear pores and slough dull skin. Look for a formula with synthetic round granules, like Olay Fresh Effects Bead Me Up! Exfoliating Cleanser which is gentle on sensitive skin.’
3. Dull, Parched Complexion: ‘Apply a moisturiser with hyaluronic acid,’ Muir advises. ‘Each molecule absorbs 10 times its weight in water and pulls the hydration into the skin’s deep layers… Or use face oil, which contains potent antioxidants, decreases inflammation, and passes through your skin’s bilipid layer to help seal in moisture and plump fine lines without leaving your face greasy or causing breakouts. In fact, face oil will actually make your skin less oily. (That’s because your sebaceous glands overproduce oil when your skin is dry and decrease production when the oil is replenished.) Massage two drops onto clean skin, wait one minute, then apply sunscreen and foundation as usual.’
4. Rough Feet: According to Donna Perillo, the owner of the Sweet Lily Natural Nail Spa & Boutique in New York City, ‘The rubber material some [flip-flops] are made of absorbs moisture and dries out your feet.’ Therefore, Muir recommends, ‘Soak your feet in a basin filled with orange juice for five minutes, then exfoliate using a foot paddle. The alpha hydroxy acids in the juice will soften your skin, and the buffer will whisk away dead cells. Before bed, rub an oil on your heels and sleep in cotton socks; you’ll wake up to baby-soft soles.’
5. Sunburned Scalp: ‘Use a hair mask once a week; it’s more concentrated than regular conditioner,’ Dr. Fusco suggests. ‘Apply it all over your scalp after you shampoo, using the balls of your fingers. Comb it through with a wide-tooth comb, put on a shower cap, then heat it up with a blow-dryer for a minute to help your hair absorb the moisturizing ingredients better.’
6. Dandruff and Brittle Texture: Hair and scalp expert Philip B instructs, ‘Before you shampoo, use a boar bristle brush to move oil off your scalp and loosen dead skin cells,’ and then apply a hair-oil treatment. ‘Your natural oils will combine with the treatment and heal your hair with intense moisture.’
7. Dead Ends: Philip B points out, ‘Chlorine bleaches your hair and salt water dries it out, so after a summer spent in the pool and the ocean, strands look fried.’ Get those dead-ends trimmed, then use an oil treatment once a week.
8. Brassy Colour: If your blonde highlights are going a bit orange, Celebrity colourist Marie Robinson suggests, ‘Wash with a violet-based shampoo to tone down brassiness.’While most of us can’t wait for the summer weather, your anti-ageing wellness certainly can. Summer fries your hair and damages your skin, so how can you enjoy the sunshine without putting your wellbeing – not to mention all the effort you’ve made on your beauty regime – at risk?

Five Beauty Rumours that Are Harming Your Wellness - Ajit Patel UK
Have you ever wanted to try an anti-ageing or beauty product, but then some well-meaning friend put you off the idea? There are so many rumours circulating beauty products and treatments that even just walking down the cosmetics aisle can make you scared for your wellbeing. However, we’ve roped in cosmetic chemists Perry Romanowski and Randy Schueller, authors of Can You Get Hooked on Lip Balm?, to help reveal the not-so-ugly truth.
1. Pseudo Salon: “Salon brands” seem too good to be true, so the rumour goes that any salon product you find in a shop is actually fake. However, the shop-bought versions are indeed as good as the real thing. Romanowski explains, ‘Salon brands depend on store sales to boost their profits. They want you to think that their brand is salon-only so it seems more exclusive, but they also want the high-volume sales that they can only get through mass market outlets…I can safely tell you that the products you are buying are the same as you would get from your stylist.’
2. Hairy Situation: There’s a rumour that hair extensions damage your locks and cause bald spots and, unfortunately, there’s some truth in it. ‘Over the course of about six to eight weeks, heavy extensions can pull on hair and cause the follicle to atrophy and stop producing normal hairs,’ says Schueller. Your follicles will recover and begin producing hairs again if you remove the extensions in time, but there’s not much that can be done if your follicles are permanently damaged. Schueller recommends, ‘While forgoing extensions altogether is the best move, if you must have Giuliana Rancic tresses, have the extensions removed monthly and go a few weeks au naturel to give your hair a rest before putting them back in.’
3. Snake in the Grass: The rumour goes that snake venom works just as well as Botox — without the needles. However, anti-ageing wellness expert Jené Luciani comments, ‘A peptide (that’s science talk for a protein compound) developed by a Swiss-based chemical company is being touted for erasing deep forehead wrinkles because it supposedly mimics the muscle-relaxing effects of a peptide found in temple viper snake venom. Unfortunately, all the marketing claims are based on studies the company funded, and this research is shoddy: It doesn’t reveal how many people were tested, who was tested, whether the product was compared to Botox (or anything for that matter), or whether its product even penetrates the dermis, where it might possibly have an effect.’
4. Fat Lip: While lip plumpers do make your lips larger for an hour or two, the way in which they achieve the Angelina Jolie look isn’t so great for your wellness. Romanowski warns, ‘That tingly feeling is not your imagination; it’s the body’s natural immune response reacting to a menthol-type chemical that most plumpers use.’ These plumpers temporarily irritate your lips, causing them to swell slightly, and this can cause scarring and permanently damage your sensitive lip cells if you use the products for more than a year.
5. Nails of Steel: There’s a common misconception that nail hardening products make tips stronger and prevent breaking, but actually these products make your nails more fragile and likely to break. ‘The formaldehyde in hardeners creates a bond between the strands of keratin protein in your nails,’ Romanowski notes. ‘This makes nails “stronger,” but it also makes them less flexible and, therefore, more brittle.’ Luciani adds, ‘While nail polish remover is a must-have, only use it once or twice a week…because it removes natural oils that help make nails elastic and strong. For further protection, use a hand and cuticle cream that contains petrolatum or mineral oil once a week to keep nails moist and improve their overall condition.’

Transform Your Skin With These Anti-Ageing Tips - Ajit Patel UK
We all want younger looking skin, but finding ways to ward off the hands of time without resorting to surgery can be difficult. The good news is that it isn’t impossible. These tips are easy to add into your daily routine and can offer you results very quickly when used regularly.
How to ward off wrinkles
You may feel as though you need a chemistry degree to navigate anti-ageing cosmetics these days, but you’re not alone. According to beauty surveys, 33 per cent of women say that choosing a skin care product is more confusing to them than filing their taxes. The main problem is that there’s so many to choose from that you get overwhelmed with choice. The best thing to do is to find a product that is loaded with healthy, skin-loving ingredients to improve the condition of your skin and to prepare it against ageing. Sunlight, toxins and pollution are all damaging to your skin and can increase inflammation which breaks down collagen, the key factor for keeping your skin supple. You need to look for antioxidants which neutralise free radicals before they do any harm and enable cells to repair any damage that’s already been caused. Look for vitamin C and E, ferulic acid and lycopene.
How to fight spots
Spots are a sign of sun damage that’s built up, and it can lead to uneven skin tone which can age you very quickly. There are ways to get even though, if you know what you’re looking for. Your superstar ingredient is hydroquinone, which dermatologists consider to be the gold standard for fading spots. It’s available in prescription form (four per cent strength) and over the counter (two per cent strength) and it works by breaking down the melanin in the spots. Apply a thin layer of the serum over your face twice a day and top it with sunscreen.
How to prevent dullness
As we age, our skin becomes dull due to the slowing down of cell turnover, causing a build-up of dead skin. The cells in the T-zone, where there are more oil glands, are usually replaced quicker than on other areas of the face, and this leads to a patchy effect on the skin. Glycolic acid is the best way to avoid this and create a glowing complexion. It helps to break apart the substance holding dead skin cells together to reveal a luminous surface. It can irritate the skin so if you can tolerate it, smooth on a moisturiser containing it every day. If not, try it a couple of times a week to avoid it aggravating the complexion. It’s best to ease your skin into using it so don’t overdo it to begin with.
How to erase acne scars
The scars of that acne-fuelled period can be as damaging to your skin confidence as the spot itself, but what can you do when your skin is scarred? Salicylic acid can help to heal your scars and fade them, making them less noticeable and helping to creating a more uniform texture and tone to your skin. It helps to promote skin cell turnover so you shed melanocytes at the surface, which makes spots fade quickly. It also helps to unclog pores and prevents new spots from forming. You can apply a peel containing this acid once a week, but you shouldn’t apply it more than that as your skin will dry out and this will increase inflammation.

Get Your Best Shave: Five Tips To Shaving with Acne - Ajit Patel UK
Acne is never easy, but it can be especially difficult when you want a clean shaven face. But don’t lose heart, my furry friends. Here are some steps to get you through your follicle frenzy.
Trim To Lessen Irritation on Skin
If it’s been a while since your last shave, you will want to trim your long facial hair with a pair of scissor before you do anything else. Shaving with longer hair can cause pull and inflame your acne, which of course you don’t want.
Warm Your Face
Shave after a warm shower while your face is still wet. Your skin is at its softest after being exposed to heated water. This will make it much easier to shave. You can also wash your face or soak your face in a hot wet towel. The hot water will also open your pores, making future breakouts smaller.
Use an Acne Friendly Lather
Shaving creams often contain harsh chemicals that can damage the skin. Try using an all-natural soap and a mens shaving brush. The shaving brush will create a thick and creamy lather from the soap and the soap itself will help nourish your skin. If you have to use shaving cream be sure that the label says “for sensitive skin” or “non-comedogenic”, otherwise your breakouts might get worse. Apply the lather of your choice generously to your face.
Shave with a Two Blade Razor for Less Stress on Your Acne
Use a two-blade razor and shave with the grain (in the direction your hair grows). The reason you will want to use a two-blade razor is because a one blade razor causes pull and three or four blade razors produces unnecessary irritation. Use a down ward motion to shave your face and most of your neck. The hair on your lower neck switches direction, so once you reach it, begin shaving in an upwards motion. Going with the grain will make it less likely for you to scratch or cut a zit.
Rinse, Dry, and Aloe Vera
When you’re finished shaving, rinse and dry your face by patting it down with a clean towel. Do not use aftershave. Aftershave will irritate your acne, causing it to become redder and more noticeable. And on top of that, it will be very painful. Instead, use aloe vera. Aloe will sooth any discomfort or burning and will also nurture the skin, giving it a healthy glow.
Follow these steps and shaving will soon become an effortless task. I hope everything goes smoothly for you (pun intended). I wish you good luck and happy shaving.

How to Identify the Source of Your Tired-Looking Eyes - Ajit Patel UK
At what point in your life did the woman staring back at you in the mirror look so old? You don’t feel any older, so why is it reflected in those tired eyes? You might think all you need is to get more sleep, but according to New York dermatologist Charlotte Clark, even a full-night’s sleep isn’t enough to get your anti-ageing wellness back on track. While sleeping more is good for your wellbeing, and may help to diminish the appearance of tired eyes a little, to truly target tired eyes you need to first consider their source.
So why do you get tired-looking eyes? Anti-ageing wellness expert Jolene Edgar explains, ‘Genetics are the biggest culprit. If you inherit fair or thin skin under the eyes, it’s more obvious when blood pools there (often because of slower circulation from lack of sleep). This accumulation causes fragile capillaries to stretch and leak. Age is another factor. Over time, skin loses collagen and thins, so veins show through more prominently. Sunbathing speeds up this process by breaking down collagen and mottling skin colour.’ Your eyes may suffer even more if you have seasonal allergies. Ranella Hirsch, a dermatologist in Boston, points out that seasonal allergies ‘trigger the release of histamines in the body, which in turn inflame blood vessels and cause swelling.’
But how do you workout your individual source of tired-looking eyes? ‘To determine why your circles happen, gently stretch the skin under your eyes,’ Edgar advises. ‘If that area becomes darker, the circles are probably due to genetics or ageing. If the colour doesn’t change, UV rays or allergies are probably the cause.’ Once you’ve found out the culprit behind your tired-looking eyes, you can then move on to treating them. Luckily, we’ve got the solutions you need:
1. Vascular Issues: ‘If your circles are the result of vascular issues, double up on pillows at night to stop blood from building up under your eyes,’ recommends Edgar. ‘In the morning, apply a cold compress for about five minutes to constrict the blood vessels…Use an eye cream with caffeine, which helps constrict vessels (try Lancôme Rénergie Microlift R.A.R.E. Intense Repositioning Eye Lifter; $72, lancome-usa.com for info). Other smart alternatives: Arnica-based creams (found at health-food stores), which are considered to have anti-inflammatory properties, may reduce the appearance of darkness. And eye creams with green tea or grape seed oil help strengthen capillary walls (try Replenix Intensive Eye Lightening Serum, $59, dermstore.com). You can tweak your diet, too. Flavonol-rich dark chocolate (an ounce a day) and foods full of omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, walnuts) may improve blood flow to the skin.’
2. Seasonal Allergies: Edgar suggests, ‘For allergy-induced circles, consider taking an over-the-counter antihistamine before allergies begin to abate shadows.’
3. Thin Skin: Using a collagen-building cream can help to conquer your thin skin issue. Hirsch notes, ‘One of my top go-to ingredients is retinol. It helps increase collagen production.’ For this, you might like to try ROC Multi-Correxion Eye Treatment. Edgar adds, ‘Vitamin C also encourages production and can help brighten skin tone (find it in a product such as Renée Rouleau Vitamin C Eye Serum). And wear sunscreen daily…or you’ll cancel out the benefits from any of these treatments.
Once you’ve got these foundations in place, don’t forget to conceal any under-eye problems with clever make-up! Edgar comments, ‘For quick circle camouflage, apply eye cream and let it dry for a few minutes. Then pat on a creamy concealer that matches your skin tone. Top with a layer of loose powder, which helps prevent makeup from caking in creases.’

So why do you get tired-looking eyes? Anti-ageing wellness expert Jolene Edgar explains, ‘Genetics are the biggest culprit. If you inherit fair or thin skin under the eyes, it’s more obvious when blood pools there (often because of slower circulation from lack of sleep). This accumulation causes fragile capillaries to stretch and leak. Age is another factor. Over time, skin loses collagen and thins, so veins show through more prominently. Sunbathing speeds up this process by breaking down collagen and mottling skin colour.’ Your eyes may suffer even more if you have seasonal allergies. Ranella Hirsch, a dermatologist in Boston, points out that seasonal allergies ‘trigger the release of histamines in the body, which in turn inflame blood vessels and cause swelling.’
But how do you workout your individual source of tired-looking eyes? ‘To determine why your circles happen, gently stretch the skin under your eyes,’ Edgar advises. ‘If that area becomes darker, the circles are probably due to genetics or ageing. If the colour doesn’t change, UV rays or allergies are probably the cause.’ Once you’ve found out the culprit behind your tired-looking eyes, you can then move on to treating them. Luckily, we’ve got the solutions you need:
1. Vascular Issues: ‘If your circles are the result of vascular issues, double up on pillows at night to stop blood from building up under your eyes,’ recommends Edgar. ‘In the morning, apply a cold compress for about five minutes to constrict the blood vessels…Use an eye cream with caffeine, which helps constrict vessels (try Lancôme Rénergie Microlift R.A.R.E. Intense Repositioning Eye Lifter; $72, lancome-usa.com for info). Other smart alternatives: Arnica-based creams (found at health-food stores), which are considered to have anti-inflammatory properties, may reduce the appearance of darkness. And eye creams with green tea or grape seed oil help strengthen capillary walls (try Replenix Intensive Eye Lightening Serum, $59, dermstore.com). You can tweak your diet, too. Flavonol-rich dark chocolate (an ounce a day) and foods full of omega-3 fatty acids (salmon, walnuts) may improve blood flow to the skin.’
2. Seasonal Allergies: Edgar suggests, ‘For allergy-induced circles, consider taking an over-the-counter antihistamine before allergies begin to abate shadows.’

Anti-Ageing Foods To Add To Your Diet Now - Ajit Patel UK
We all know by now that antioxidants are fantastic in helping create an inner anti-ageing regime, to prime us for a healthier, longer and better looking life – both inside and outside. But do you know where to get these antioxidants from? There are certain foods which are better than others in packing our diets with these age fighters – here is a list of the best ingredients to add to your diet and why you should be eating more of them.
Cruciferous Vegetables and Leafy Greens
You have probably been told to eat your greens by your parents since you were a child, but there’s a good reason for this. These vegetables are loaded with nutrients, from calcium and folate to vitamin C, to support bone health, protect against cognitive decline and help to prevent eye problems which are associated with age. More significantly, studies show that they can also provide anti-cancer properties. Vegetables such as cabbage, spinach, broccoli, kale and Swiss chard all count towards.
Apricots
A peach-like fruit, the apricot may seem humble but you may be surprised to learn that it’s packed with anti-ageing ingredients. The orange colour they possess comes from carotenoids, which are powerful antioxidants which prevent heart disease, lower bad cholesterol and protect against cancer. The carotenoid beta-carotene can be converted by the body into vitamin A to contribute towards healthy eyes, skin and hair.
Berries
Berries have some of the highest levels of antioxidants of any fruits, with kale and spinach being the only vegetables to match berries in terms of antioxidant levels. Fresh berries have phytochemicals and colour pigments, known as anthocyanins, which have been shown to lower the risk of certain cancers, improve memory function and contribute towards healthy ageing. They also contain quercetin, a flavonol which is both an antioxidant and anti-carcinogen, to protect against heart disease and certain cancers.
Olive Oil
Mediterranean diets use a lot of olive oil, which contains health-boosting omega-3 fatty acids. These not only keep your heart healthy and reduce inflammation, but they also improve your skin circulation and digestion, and lower your cholesterol. All of these factors contribute towards a longer and healthier life.
Wild Alaskan Salmon
Staying on the side of omega-3 fatty acids, salmon is rich in these healthy oils which offers a health boost. Selenium levels are high in salmon which protects healthy skin cells by fighting free radicals, which age the skin. Salmon also helps to protect the function of the thyroid, which keeps your weight in check and boosts your overall wellbeing.
Tomatoes
Tomatoes are something found in foods so regularly we almost forget the properties they possess. But did you know that they can help to protect against sunburn? Studies show that people who ate tomatoes mixed with olive oil each day had 40 per cent less sunburn than those who consumed just olive oil. This is because tomatoes have lycopene in them, which protects the skin against oxidation that can lead to wrinkles and sun damages.
Raw Almonds
Almonds are loaded with vitamin E, which can be difficult to get from your diet. One small handful is enough to give you half of your daily dose, and this nutrient is great for protecting against ageing. It helps to protect the skin, as well as improving agility and speed as we age.
Avocado
Put them on salads, in sandwiches or as a topping to Mexican cuisine, but be sure to get them into your diet – avocados are packed with healthy fats and are also very high in vitamin E. The result? Shiny hair, glowing skin and a wrinkle-free complexion.

Take Care of Your Overall Health, Maintain Oral Hygiene - Ajit Patel UK
Research reveals that a person’s oral health has something to do with his general well-being. We may not think about it, but oral health is intimately connected with our overall health. Thus, we need to know and practice proper oral hygiene if we would want to prevent serious health problems from occurring.
Our mouth can be full of bacteria, although most of them are harmless, which could mean regular brushing of our teeth is not enough to protect and maintain good health. A superior dental or oral care is important to maintaining healthy teeth, tongue and gums. It helps us avoid bad breath (halitosis), sores, tooth decay and other related oral problems. Take note that these problems may lead to other physical illnesses, and it could be grave.
There are a lot of things we need to know and learn about oral health. Having enough knowledge about our gums, tongue and teeth and their common problems will also help us in protecting and taking care of them.
Gums
The gingiva or gums significantly surround and seal the teeth and serve as effective barrier to deeper tissues. But don’t you know that gum diseases are associated to several serious physical illnesses? Gingivitis and periodontal disease, receding gums, stomatitis, sore, swollen and bleeding gums are only few of the problems people commonly encounter when proper oral care is not practiced.
What You Can Do?
Tongue
Perhaps, you already have an idea on the basic function and purpose of a tongue. This muscular hydrostat on the floor of the mouth serves different purposes from food tasting to phonetic articulation to cleaning of the mouth. But it can be a perfect ground for bad bacteria to develop and cause illnesses. Leukoplakia, thrush, lichen planus, sores and fissures are few common problems of the tongue. Regular cleaning of the tongue is essential to maintaining its health. It is important to always clean and remove the unwanted coatings that could cause bad breath, tooth decay and gum problems.
What You Can Do?
Teeth
At 18, an adult person could possess 32 teeth—16 teeth on the top and 16 teeth on the bottom. But the average mouth is made to hold only 28 teeth. This is the reason why most of the time, our “wisdom teeth” are problematic. Aside from that, the teeth usually have the many problems like tooth decay, discoloration, sensitivity, plaque, abscessed tooth, cavities, tartar, dry socket, pericoronitis, impacted wisdom teeth, and many more. These problems could cause bad breath, headache, facial trauma, and other serious issues.
What You Can Do?
There are many factors affecting the problems of the gums, tongue and teeth. Most of them can be prevented by good oral care, proper nutrition and regular visits to the doctors. Michael T. Dachowski, DMD, a distinguished oral and maxillofacial surgeon in Philadelphia, suggested that for impacted wisdom teeth, you need to entrust them to notable clinic and dental surgeons to ensure a safe and successful dental surgery. Only the experts know what to do with them and how to do it. Aside from that, they will help you avoid complications as well as assist you in the rehabilitation process.
Again, how you manage your oral health can greatly influence your overall health. Therefore, you have to know, learn and understand the value of proper and good oral care.

Could You Give Up Beauty Chemicals During Pregnancy? - Ajit Patel UK
As the beauty editor for Vogue, Sigourney Cantelo has learnt a thing or two about anti-ageing wellness. However, after becoming pregnant, Cantelo decided to put her wellness wallet where her mouth is, and try going chemical-free with her skincare regimen during her pregnancy.
She explains, ‘As a beauty editor, I spend my life testing cosmetics, offering my face and body up like a lab rat. But now there’s a baby growing in my tummy, that doesn’t seem so wise.’ Concerned for her baby’s wellbeing, Cantelo went natural for the first time in her life. ‘Some skincare ingredients can penetrate the skin and enter the bloodstream (which, of course, developing bub also shares),’ she says. ‘Many women choose to have as natural a skincare regimen as possible when they are pregnant and breastfeeding. That sounds like a prison sentence to me, but in the interests of research, I decide to do the first three months in the skincare slammer – as chemical-free as possible – and then maybe I’ll get a pass out for good behaviour.’
To start her chemical-free experiment, Cantelo first needed to get rid of any temptations still lurking in her bathroom cabinet. ‘I open up my heaving bathroom cabinet and throw out anything that contains salicylic acid, vitamin A, artificial colours, fragrances, preservatives, parabens or petroleum,’ she recalls. ‘I spend the next few months scouring the cosmetics at organic supermarkets. I fall in love with the heavenly Burt’s Bees Mama Bee Leg and Foot Crème ($24.95, 1300 855 478). And I discover Aeos, a new skincare line from the UK. The Aeos Enriching Moisturiser, $98, (02) 9779 1501, smells incredible, is packaged in beautiful glass jars and feels as glamorous and indulgent as La Prairie. I also use Miranda Kerr’s I use Kora Organics Luxurious Rosehip Body Oil, $59.95, (02) 9979 5672, every night instead of moisturiser. Most of the other creams I try smell like compost or feel as though I’ve dived into a tub of tahini.’
Although Cantelo found love with some natural skincare products, this didn’t stop her from slipping back into her old ways. ‘When my three months of purgatory are finally up I need chemical help,’ she admits. ‘I miss the slip and texture of a luxury cream and the sting of an acid as it breaks down clogged up pores and reveals clear, radiant skin beneath. To add insult to injury, I’m getting dreaded dark spots, known as melasma (or the mask of pregnancy) from the sun and I don’t know if it’s the hormones or the products, but I also have breakouts.’ Therefore she found herself calling a few dermal experts for help, and here’s what they recommended:
Alexia Shinas at Next of Skin clinic: Dermaminerals Breathable Coverage Mineral Foundation SPF 30 ($78, 1300799 709), a mineral foundation sunscreen that uses zinc oxide and titanium dioxide and provides just enough coverage to hide the spots and is low on chemicals. She also recommends the super serum Aspect Exfol l 15 ($79.20 1800 648 851), which uses lactic acid, which is safe for pregnancy, to reduce breakouts and pigmentation.
Emma Hobson, Education Manager of the International Dermal Institute: Dermalogica C12 Concentrate ($165; 1800 659 118), which works to suppress the melanin production that leads to pigmentation. She adds that Cantelo needs to watch her stress levels: ‘Stress hormones have the ability to trigger melanin formation too, so book in for a relaxing pregnancy massage or a professional skin treatment.’ When Cantelo took this advice, she found the best of both worlds: ‘As I lie tummy-down for the first time in months on a special pregnancy bean-bag, two therapists work in tandem to knead out my knots and, at the end of a blissful hour, I float out the door. I finally have that pregnancy glow and for once, it’s not thanks to skincare.’

Is Facial Symmetry Beautiful?Things You Didn’t Know About Beauty - Ajit Patel UK
There is much talk about beauty being completely in the eye of the beholder, but research suggests that certain physical qualities are universally and objectively beautiful. People are naturally drawn to faces whose features are placed in certain arrangements. The ideal proportions are so delicate that a deviation of mere millimeters can be the difference between being beautiful and being plain.
The Golden Ratio
The golden ratio is a number that is found in the proportions of great works of art. People who are considered very attractive usually have face shapes that fit into the golden ratio. A face that meets this standard would be about 1.6 times longer than it is wide. The eyes should form a line of demarcation at the exact point where the face’s length begins to exceed its width, or about one-third of the way down from the forehead.
Symmetry
Symmetry is another mathematical concept that determines beauty. Studies have repeatedly shown that people’s eyes are naturally drawn to faces that are perfectly symmetrical. It has also been shown that given a pair of faces, people tend to select a face that is more perfectly symmetrical mathematically as more attractive to them. This certainly isn’t universal, but most often it tends to be the preference of our eyes.
Innate Narcissism
Studies show that people are instinctively attracted to people who look like them, even if they do not consider themselves particularly attractive. When a man is shown a digitally feminized picture of himself, he thinks he is looking at the most gorgeous woman he has ever seen. It would not occur to him that he is looking at his own altered photograph. Women have similar reactions when their pictures were made more masculine.
The Uncanny Valley
Though society values beauty at all costs, it resists beauty that appears artificial. When a face is technically perfect but has lost its intangible aura of humanity, it has entered the uncanny valley. This happens when people get so much plastic surgery that their features are distorted beyond anything that is found in nature. These people no longer look like real human beings.
Mimicking Celebrities
People who want to improve their looks often visit clinics such as About Face (a Scottsdale plastic surgeon) with the goal of looking exactly like a famous actor or actress. This is impossible to achieve. Acquiring the nose, chin or eye shape of a famous actress will not make a patient look like that actress. It is important to have realistic expectations and to understand that becoming a better version of oneself is better than turning into someone else.
Plastic surgery can adjust the features so that they come closer to fulfilling the balance set forth in the golden ratio, but very few people will achieve perfection. Individual quirks are just as valuable as objective beauty is. However, many people are able to find great satisfaction and happiness in the improvements they can get from plastic surgery options. Each of us is different, but many of us have similar preferences when it comes to what beauty means.

How to Have Beautiful Eyes without Damaging Them - Ajit Patel UK
They say the eyes are the window to the soul, which is perhaps why you give them so much anti-ageing attention. You want to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles, trim unruly brows and generally make your eyes gorgeous, but at what cost to your wellbeing? Could some of your favourite beauty therapies actually be doing damage to your eye wellness? We’ve rounded up some of the worst offenders for harming eyes, as well as some friendlier alternatives, so you can have healthy and beautiful eyes.
1. Coloured lenses: As we’ve just had Halloween, you may have seen a lot of people wearing scary eye lenses and thought, “hey, now there’s an idea.” While you may want to choose a new colour for your eyes – instead of looking like a zombie – when these lenses are sold without prescription you are putting your eyes at risk of injuries or infections. Even if you only wear them for a short time, contact lenses from salons, costume shops, or online can cause vision loss, because contact lenses require proper fitting, cleaning, and care. However, if you still feel like the good Lord gave you the wrong colour eyes, you can ask a licensed eye care professional about RX coloured contact lenses. You’ll need an eye exam even if you have perfect vision, and your doctor can write you a prescription and show you how to take care of the lenses properly. Make sure you follow your doctor’s advice so that you don’t injure your eyes.
2. Prescription eyelash serum: If you want long, flirty eyelashes – albeit temporarily – latisse is a prescription drug that can help you get them. You daub the serum onto the upper line of your lashes on a daily basis, and can expect to see results in four months. While your lashes may become long and luscious, it’s important that you bear in mind that there’s a risk of side effects, some of which are permanent. The drug may change your eye colour to brown (or make brown eyes darker) and it can also darken the skin around your eyes. Instead, why not ditch the prescription drug in favour of false eyelashes or eyelash extensions? However, while these alternatives can give you that long-lashed look without a prescription drug, that doesn’t mean they’re risk-free. The adhesives can irritate your eyelids or cause an allergic reaction, so be careful. You should also be on the watch for permanent eyelash tints that promise thicker-looking lashes, as these have been linked to serious injury, including blindness. The FDA is yet to approve any permanent dyes for use on the lashes.
3. Expired makeup: If you’re got glittery eye shadow from the 90s that you’re hanging onto for a just-in-case occasion, chuck it now. While makeup contains preservatives, these can break down over time which enables bacteria to grow. This is not just the case with eye makeup, but all kinds of makeup, although different types of cosmetic have different “use by” guidelines. Don’t hold onto your mascara for more than three to four months, and get rid of eye shadow after two years. Concerning the rest of your makeup bag, lipstick and foundation are OK up until a year, and you can keep hold of blush and powder for up to two years before tossing it out. However, getting back to your eyes, if you develop an eye infection you should throw out your eye makeup immediately. If you use mineral makeup, this contains fewer irritating fillers and preservatives than regular cosmetics, but as it contains allergens you should look products with as few ingredients as possible if you have sensitive eyes and skin.

1. Coloured lenses: As we’ve just had Halloween, you may have seen a lot of people wearing scary eye lenses and thought, “hey, now there’s an idea.” While you may want to choose a new colour for your eyes – instead of looking like a zombie – when these lenses are sold without prescription you are putting your eyes at risk of injuries or infections. Even if you only wear them for a short time, contact lenses from salons, costume shops, or online can cause vision loss, because contact lenses require proper fitting, cleaning, and care. However, if you still feel like the good Lord gave you the wrong colour eyes, you can ask a licensed eye care professional about RX coloured contact lenses. You’ll need an eye exam even if you have perfect vision, and your doctor can write you a prescription and show you how to take care of the lenses properly. Make sure you follow your doctor’s advice so that you don’t injure your eyes.
2. Prescription eyelash serum: If you want long, flirty eyelashes – albeit temporarily – latisse is a prescription drug that can help you get them. You daub the serum onto the upper line of your lashes on a daily basis, and can expect to see results in four months. While your lashes may become long and luscious, it’s important that you bear in mind that there’s a risk of side effects, some of which are permanent. The drug may change your eye colour to brown (or make brown eyes darker) and it can also darken the skin around your eyes. Instead, why not ditch the prescription drug in favour of false eyelashes or eyelash extensions? However, while these alternatives can give you that long-lashed look without a prescription drug, that doesn’t mean they’re risk-free. The adhesives can irritate your eyelids or cause an allergic reaction, so be careful. You should also be on the watch for permanent eyelash tints that promise thicker-looking lashes, as these have been linked to serious injury, including blindness. The FDA is yet to approve any permanent dyes for use on the lashes.
3. Expired makeup: If you’re got glittery eye shadow from the 90s that you’re hanging onto for a just-in-case occasion, chuck it now. While makeup contains preservatives, these can break down over time which enables bacteria to grow. This is not just the case with eye makeup, but all kinds of makeup, although different types of cosmetic have different “use by” guidelines. Don’t hold onto your mascara for more than three to four months, and get rid of eye shadow after two years. Concerning the rest of your makeup bag, lipstick and foundation are OK up until a year, and you can keep hold of blush and powder for up to two years before tossing it out.

How to Prevent Dry Skin This Winter & All Through Year - Ajit Patel UK
Dry skin is, ironically, a real dampener on your wellbeing. When your skin is flaky and itchy, all you can think about is getting fast and effective relief, and never having to go through that irritation again. This means you might find yourself reaching for a moisturiser with a hefty price tag, but enhancing your skin wellness isn’t just about slapping on a cream and being done with it; it depends on all kinds of factors, such as how you clean your skin, the air around you, and even your clothes. Try our top tips for soothing your dry skin:
1. Don’t get overheated: According to dermatologist Andrea Lynn Cambio, MD, even though that steamy shower feels good, the hot water is actually drying out your skin. If your shower or bath is hot, rather than warm, it strips your body of its natural oil barrier that otherwise works to trap moisture and keep your skin smooth and hydrated. As well as turning down the temperature, you should also dial it back on how long you spend in the tub. Skincare experts recommend short, warm showers or baths that last no longer than five to 10 minutes, and you should gently pat dry and moisturise your body afterwards.
2. Cleanse gently: When you’re in the shower, make sure you use a gentle soap that doesn’t contain any fragrances, deodorants or antibacterial additives, as these can be harsh on your skin. Dermatologist Carolyn Jacob, MD, notes that cleansers that contain ceramides help your skin to hold in moisture, as these fatty molecules make up the outer barrier of your skin. However, you lose ceramides as you age, making products containing the molecules essential to your anti ageing wellness. You should avoid any toner, peel or other astringent that has been made with alcohol, as this dries your skin, and Jacob warns that exfoliating too much or too hard can irritate and thicken your skin, so be gentle.
3. Shave smartly: When you shave unwanted hair away, you also scrape off natural oils, which is why shaving can irritate dry skin. The American Academy of Dermatology recommends shaving after a shower, as it is during this time that hairs are softer and more pliable. Make sure your razor is sharp and you clean reusable blades with rubbing alcohol between uses. Never neglect to use a shaving cream or gel, and make sure you shave in the direction the hair is growing.
4. Shun the sun: Dry skin, wrinkles and roughness are all caused, to a large extent, by sun damage, and so wearing an SPF 30 sun cream every day can help to reduce the sun’s impact on your skin. Dressing correctly can also help you lessen sun damage, and Cambio points out that during cool weather you should ‘dress in layers to prevent overheating and perspiring excessively; both can irritate the skin.’ In winter, you can also prevent dry lips by using a lip balm with SPF 15 sun cream. When summer rolls around, light, loose, long-sleeved shirts and a wide hat can help to shade your skin.
5. Get the right moisturiser: Dermatologist Sonia Badreshia-Bansal, MD, advises, ‘Petroleum jelly makes a great moisturiser.’ However, you can also use mineral oil or your favourite cream or lotion – just find one that works for you. Leslie Baumann, MD, director of the Cosmetic Medicine and Research Institute at the University of Miami, recommends rich moisturisers containing shea butter, ceramides, stearic acid, or, her personal favourite, glycerin, as she says, ‘All are rich moisturisers that will help you replenish your skin barrier.’

Should You Always Avoid Alcohol in Skincare Products? - Ajit Patel UK
When you are choosing the best anti-aging product for your skin, you may have had it drummed into your subconscious that alcohol is damaging for the wellness and wellbeing of your skin. Perhaps you find yourself poring over the ingredients list on the back of various skincare products, hoping to find one that is free from alcohol but without really knowing why.
The truth is, that it is simply not true to say that all alcohol is bad for your skin, as there are different types of alcohol. In particular, those who have sensitive or dry skin are often advised to stay away from skincare products with alcohol in them, as there is thought to be a link between red, flaky skin and alcohol-based products. Then of course there is the little issue that very few products are actually alcohol free, so finding a product you deem to be ‘suitable’ can be quite a challenge.
Out of 20 skincare products on the market, it is estimated that around 12 will contain alcohol in some form. Alcohol is actually incredibly useful as a skincare ingredient, and, contrary to popular opinion, is not totally out of the question for those who suffer from dry skin. Alcohol is actually a broad term for an entire group of chemicals that have a common makeup but with some variations. It is the variations that determine how the alcohol works on your skin.
Ethanol, for example, is just one type of alcohol, and it is simply this type of alcohol that can cause skin dryness – no other type. Ethanol is also in wine, beer and spirits (but with a slightly altered taste, of course). It is a thin liquid that evaporates quicker than water and hence it is often used to help a product to dry quicker, but this can be damaging for those with dry or sensitive skin.
