Is Botox Replacing Prozac
2007-08-30 18:51:00
Millons of Women and Men inject Botox to remove the signs of sadness and anxiety. The furrows are also known as the line of expression.,Charles Darwin suggested that facial muscle and skin movement might contribute to our moods and emotions.Ten clinical depressed patients between the age of 36 and 63 who had never been treated with Botox were given Botox injections. After two months they were no signs of frown lines and given a repeated test for depression.Nine out of 10 patient were no longer depressed and tenth patient reported an improvement in mood. More studies need to be done on a larger scale....Is it skin movement contributing to our mood,or could it be the way people respond to us that can make us sad or happy due to our facial expression...or are we justed pleased with ourselves and new relaxed look.....interesting!

The Skinney On Jeans

Shop at venus and marz for designer jeans at 60% savingScience Meeting Art: Check out the BootyA good pair of jeans should always give great ass! That's why Fidelity has been called the Bra for the Butt: it gives a woman's behind "uplifting qualities." Fidelity denim designer Jason Trotzuk calls this coup a case of science meeting art. "We specially shape the back pattern so it holds the bottom in similar manner to that of a brassiere," he confides. "There are many different 'bottom' types, but ultimately, a pair of jeans should hold and cup your derriere. The fabric should not sag, nor there excess fabric at the bottom of your seat." Sweet Spot: The key to a heavenly tush is good pocket placementFidelity refers to the perfect pocket place as the "sweet spot" of the behind. (Indeed, the properly-placed pocket will frame the ass like a Van Gogh painting.) So, where is this magical sweet spot? Simple: pockets should be centre on either cheek. Not too close to the middle, not too h...

Is It Tap ?

Weight Loss Miracle.... Is Hoodia For You?
2007-07-27 18:25:00
Imagine this: an organic pill that kills the appetite and attacks obesity.It has no known side-effects, and contains a molecule that fools your brain into believing you are full.Deep inside the African Kalahari desert, grows an ugly cactus-like plant called the Hoodia . It thrives in extremely high temperatures, and takes years to mature.The San Bushmen of the Kalahari, one of the world's oldest and most primitive tribes, had been eating the Hoodia for thousands of years, to stave off hunger during long hunting trips.When South African scientists were routinely testing it, they discovered the plant contained a previously unknown molecule, which has since been christened P 57.The license was sold to a Cambridgeshire bio-pharmaceutical company, Phytopharm, who in turn sold the development and marketing rights to the giant Pfizer Corporation.Fortune cactusCactusA molecule in the cactus makes you feel fullWhen I travelled to the Kalahari, I met families of the San bushmen.It is a sad, i...

Mini-Micro Bikini
2007-07-26 20:36:00
Great stuff clipped from www.abcarticledirectory.comWhats that tiny little thing you just paid all that money for? Just when we thought bikinis could not get any smaller, a new fashion is exploding onto the market called the mini-micro bikini. Both the top and the bottom have almost no coverage at all for your nipples, buttocks, and crotch. Almost the entire body is exposed, leaving very, very little to the imagination. This is a very daring and sexy look that is hitting the beach scene. Unfortunately, not many of us have the figure to look flattering in such a bikini.Pushing the envelope even further, some of the mini-micro bikinis available are made of a sheer material that can be seen through when the sun shines at the right angle and when the suit is wet. While this might be an exciting bikini to wear for attention and showing off your assets, there is a controversy about such swimwear being allowed in public areas.

Love That Works At Any Age
2007-07-26 20:23:00
clipped from www.cbsnews.comToday With Longer Lifespans, Couples Are Playing Less Attention To Age Differences(CBS) As the average life expectancy trends ever upward, little things like social convention and gaps in age seem to take a backseat to romance."A May-December romance is between a woman and a man who are about 10 years apart in age, maybe eight years and anything over 10 years. And they're really defined as a couple," sociologist Susan Shapiro Barash said.Increasingly, the woman is on the December side. In the past seven years alone, the number of women married to younger men is up by nearly 900,000."I think that for the woman it's really liberating. She's breaking the rule. She's doing something that she was taught not to in our culture," she said.But what was once frowned upon has become fashionable, or at least more accepted.

Bra scientists find formula for that perfect fit
2007-07-24 10:45:00
clipped from www.telegraph.co.ukCurvy women could soon find a bra revolution making life slightly more comfortable.Until now, bra sizes have followed a formula devised in America in 1935For 70 years bra designers have stuck to a formula which decides sizes through measuring under and across the bust.But now researchers in Hong Kong have come up with a different mathematical equation which they say will produce shapelier outlines and greater comfort for Chinese women. If successful, their bra-sizing system could be adopted across the globe.Until now, bra sizes have followed a formula devised in America in 1935. "Alphabet" bras were born - advertised then as A cup (youthful); B cup (average); C cup (large); and D cup (heavy).By using the DWR method, they aim to increase the number of existing bra sizes by between eight and 16 size combinations - offering more choice to women.

Turns out, when you actually count the words, there isn't much difference between the sexes when it comes to talking.A team led by Matthias R.

Men, 15,669.The difference: 546 words: "Not statistically significant," say the researchers."What's a 500-word difference, compared with the 45,000-word difference between the most and the least talkative persons" in the study, said Mehl.Indeed, Mehl said, one study they found, done in workplaces, showed men talking more.Still, the idea that women use nearly three times as many words a day as men has taken on the status of...

Are You Ready To Zap It
2007-07-23 02:44:00
Soon you may be able to shock your headaches into submission with a handheld device called the transcranial magnetic stimulator (TMS).Migraines can have a trigger--like a bright light or a certain food--that sets off a wave of electrical activity in the brain. The wave stimulates the brain stem's pain center, and head throbbing follows. Sufferers often experience an aura, or altered sense of perception, before the pain starts. That's where TMS comes in.The device disrupts the process by emitting an electrical current that creates a magnetic field in the brain. One preliminary trial found that 75 percent of sufferers avoided a migraine by using TMS.Yousef Mohammad, MD, an assistant professor of neurology at Ohio State University, is overseeing clinical trials and hopes to get FDA approval sometime in 2006.

Tummy fat can grow new breasts
2007-07-20 19:41:00
clipped from news.bbc.co.ukFat from the tummy or bottom could be used to grow new breasts in a treatment which could be carried out in an hour - or a lunch break.Scientists say they can create a fat mixture with concentrated stem cells, which, when injected into the breast, apparently encourages tissue to grow.The therapy, detailed in Chemistry and Industry Magazine, could help cancer patients who have had mastectomies.And if licensed, it may rival silicone for those seeking bigger breasts.However using fat-derived stem cells appears to overcome this problem, according to the company behind the procedure, Cytori Therapeutics."It could clearly be of great benefit to women who have lost a breast, but much more work needs to be done - both in terms of how long the new breast really lasts for, but most importantly the safety implications for women who have had tumours." The procedure - dubbed Celution - could be carried out in an hour.

Lose One Dress Size Fast
2007-07-14 17:36:00
One good way to drop that dress size by next week is to add some water to your diet. This is a fairly good tip for any dieters, but losing weight fast means you should drink more water than you ever thought you could handle. The body retains four to six pounds of water on any given day. The body is, essentially, hoarding the water for some future use.Another good way to lose that dress size by next Saturday night is to be sure to take in enough protein. Your body needs protein so it does not feel like it is starving. If your body feels like it is starving, it will begin hoarding pounds. All of these pounds will be converted into fat, no matter what you are eating. As a result, if you allow your body enough protein, you will not have that problem.

The Elderberry Way To Perfect Skin Forget expensive moisturisers and cosmetic surgery, a compound found in the humble elderberry could give a natural boost to skin.In the first study of its kind, a team of researchers led by Prof Aedin Cassidy at the University of East Anglia and Dr Paul Kroon at the Institute of Food Research, will explore whether the skin's condition is improved by a compound which gives berries their vibrant colour (called 'anthocyanin').In a 12-week trial starting in September, post-menopausal women will consume either extracts from elderberries or placebo capsules, and will have their skin's structure and appearance measured with state-of-the-art equipment used by experts in skin science. At the same time, researchers will also test whether the elderberry extract can reduce risk factors for heart disease."We already know that a healthy diet can help protect against heart disease and skin damage, and that a mixture of similar food components have been shown t...
