Prescription diet pills

December 13th, 2008

Though prescription diet pills have been scientifically tested for their effectiveness in helping a person lose weight, most of these drugs have some side effects. So health care regulatory agencies in most countries do not allow sale of these drugs without consulting a qualified medical professional, so that the user is aware of the side effects and takes suitable precautions while using the diet pill.

Reductil is one of the most popular diet pills and affects the neurotransmitters of the user so that he or she feels full even after eating very little. Effectively the calorie intake is reduced and the person loses weight. Doctors recommend that this diet pill should be used for a maximum period of 12 months continuously and if the patient does not stop taking this diet pill, his or her health could be adversely affected. Like all other diet pills, it should be combined with a healthy diet and exercise.

Xenical or Orlistat helps a person lose weight by promoting the metabolism of the fats stored in the body. It filters out the fat in the food consumed by the person, so that no fat in the food is digested and the body fat is used for normal metabolic activities. Xenical has been found to be most effective as a diet pill for individuals who restrict the fat content of their diet to less than 30%. It is advisable to take vitamin supplements at least 2 hours before taking Xenical, since it interferes with the absorption of fat soluble vitamins.

Electronic muscle simulation

November 22nd, 2008

Electronic muscle simulation (EMS) is a technique used for toning and reshaping muscles in  different parts of the body like the buttocks and thighs. It works by sending an electrical signal to the muscle, making it contract, which simulates the impulses sent by the brain to the muscle during normal exercise.  By using EMS units the body gets used to the short and intense muscular contractions.

Since the use of steroids for building muscles has been outlawed for most sports, athletes from Eastern Europe have used EMS to build their muscles for sports where sudden bursts of energy, high speed and quick reaction time are needed. These sports include boxing, sprinters, weight lifters and martial . Now this muscle building technique is available in Western countries also, and is used by sports persons as well as ordinary people to attain their fitness goals.

Though EMS units are not a substitute for a regular workout, they allow you to exercise your muscles in the comfort of your home, when you are busy with other sedentary activities like writing, reading, watching TV, speaking on the phone or surfing the internet. They allow you to supplement your regular workout without putting stress on your joints, back and shoulders. The electronic muscle simulation systems are recommended by physiotherapists for disabled people, to prevent atrophy of their muscles. They are also used for treatment of muscular, tendon or ligament injuries.

Prevent aging using Ethocyn

November 1st, 2008

Collagen and elastin are the two fibers which make up the skin.  While collagen provides structural support and resist stretching, the elastin fibers make the skin flexible and allow it to revert to its original condition when stretched. As a person ages, the amount of DHT produced increases and this inhibits the production of elastin, and the skin starts aging gradually. Depending on hereditary and other factors, this happens between the age of 25 to 30.

After spending years doing extensive research on skin and aging, the biochemist Dr. Chantal Burnison has developed the anti-aging ingredient Ethocyn. It blocks the DHT-DHT receptor binding in fibroblast skin cells which inhibit the production of elastin, and so elastin continues to be produced at the same level as in young skin. By applying ethocyn to the skin twice in a day for a  period of a month or two, the skin will regain the elasticity it had when the person was 20 years old. Extensive laboratory tests have been conducted which support the efficacy of this product.

A wide range of skincare products which contain the ingredient Ethocyn have been developed by Dr. Chantal Burnison. These include eye cream, hydrating cream, gel cleanser, revitalizing masque, hand and body moisturizer, Ethocyn Hydrating Complex and Ethocyn Essence.
