Stop Un-needed Aging With Grape Seed Extract

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

It is possible to fight off aging with grape seed extract due largely to the antioxidant effect of the phytochemicals contained within the seed of the grape. The seed is rarely absorbed by your body because it is so difficult for your digestive juices to break down; significantly more difficult than the skin or the pulp.  So what is specific about the seed that makes it so useful as a source of antioxidants? That shall be discuss shortly, but for now let’s discuss the causes of aging, and how antioxidants can help to keep them at bay.

To fight off aging you have to understand what causes it, and the take steps to avoid these causes. It is fairly obvious that all causes of aging cannot be circumvented, but there are things that can be done to keep some of them at bay. Here, we are specifically concerned with the aging of your skin, which is the most visible form of aging.  The first aspect of aging to understand is that there are two types:  intrinsic and extrinsic.

Intrinsic Aging

Intrinsic aging is natural aging, and is largely genetic.  Starting when you are fairly young, normally in the early to mid 20s, intrinsic aging is typified by wrinkling, hair loss or graying of the hair, hollowing of cheeks and other areas where the fat underneath the skin that normally contributes to your physical appearance is lost, and also bone loss that causes your skin to sag due a gradual loss of the structure that sculpts your physical appearance.

The age at which this occurs, and its speed is determined by your genes; although the process generally begins around the mid 20s, the speed with which it progresses is genetically controlled.

Extrinsic Aging

This is where grape seed extract can help.  Extrinsic aging is not genetic, but environmental.  Ten majority of this type of aging is due to exposure to the damaging UV light of the sun, which cause the typical ‘leathery’ look of the skin of people raised in areas such locations as the hotter parts of Australia and the USA, without the benefit of the native skin pigmentation that filters out these harmful ultra-violet rays.

Other factors that can cause the same degradation of your skin cells are smoking, the way you sleep and gravity.  The sun generates free radicals (more on these later) that can destroy skin cells, cause freckles, leathery skin and a blotched complexion and also skin cancer.  Smokers are more likely to develop leathery and wrinkled skin than non-smokers, and as the elasticity of your skin reduces, gravity cause jowls to develop and also a more pronounced lower lip.

Even your sleeping position can make you appear to age quicker, particularly using the same sleeping position on your pillow each night that cause what are known as sleep lines, that are really wrinkles that are difficult, if not impossible to remove.  However, one of the most relevant factors is pollution, and the effects of car emissions, pesticides and other agricultural chemicals, paint fumes and 1001 other forms of chemical pollution that produce free radicals.

Where grape seed extract is involved in fighting off aging is in extrinsic aging is by destroying the free radicals.  All substances, from the air to the oceans, are formed of atoms that contain electrons.  Stable molecules contain an even number of electrons, or what are known as ‘electron pairs’. When a molecule loses one electron it is known as a free radical, whose prime purpose in its very short life is to steal an electron from the nearest molecule. This ’short’ lifetime can as long as a day or as short as thousandth of a second:  it depends on is size and the degree of steric hindrance to the reaction with the spare electron.

Now that the reasons for aging and the nature of free radicals are better understood it is easier for you understand why grape seed extract can help to fight aging caused by the effects of free radicals on your skin.

Grape seed is a waste product of the wine industry. You cannot make wine from grape seeds, so they are removed from the final product by filtration or sedimentation.  It contains a large number of phytonutrients, the most important being polyphenols in the form of flavanoids, lipids and carbohydrates.  It also contains proteins that don′t have much of an effect on aging.  Flavonoids (also spelled flavanoids) are powerful antioxidants that destroy free radicals; they are twenty times as powerful as Vitamin E and over fifty times more powerful an antioxidant than Vitamin C.

Both of these vitamins are regarded as strong antioxidants in their own right, which is an indication of how good grape seed extract is at killing free radicals. It’s like a combination of Harry Callahan, Paul Kersey, John McClane and the whole of the Magnificent Seven after the scavengers in your body cells. They succeed, and do it in spades!

Not only do the ingredients of grape seed extract kill off free radicals with the efficiency of a Delta Task Force, but are also anti-allergenic, anti-inflammatory, anti-cancer and anti just about anything else you can think of.  However, let’s have an even closer look and find out exactly what polyphenols are present in this so-called wonder juice.

Procyanadin was originally named Vitamin P in 1936 by its discoverer, Prof. Jacques Masquelier, and is believed to bond with collagen to protect you from premature aging by retaining and even improving the elasticity of your skin. An added benefit is that it also improves the elasticity of your blood vessels, and so helps to fight off the effects of high blood pressure and places less strain on your heart. The overall effect on your face is to practically give you a chemical face lift and also provide protection from the damaging effect of the UV component of sunlight through its lethal attitude towards the free radicals that UV radiation generates.

Another component of grape seed extract particularly that of muscadine grapes is resveratrol; a phytoalexin that has strong anti-inflammatory properties and can also fight off the effects of aging. Phytoalexins are antibiotics produced by plants that are under attack, and, in addition to helping you age slower, confers other benefits to your body including helping your brain to carry out its work more efficiently.

All in all, grape seed ext confers many benefits to your health and is also believed to possess powerful anti-cancer properties.  However, it is for its ability to fight off aging that most people use it as a supplement, and in this respect it has been found to be extremely effective.  Any antioxidant is of benefit to your body, but grape seed extract is of particular benefit due its high antioxidant potency.

Drugless ADHD Solution

Thursday, November 6th, 2008

There are now many professional treatments for ADD, ADHD:

Drugs: (Ritalin, Adderall, Concerta, Strattera, etc). Most of these drugs contain methylphenidate, the same ingredient as “speed” on the street where it’s highly illegal, and addictive to many. This type of “medication″ does NOT “cure” anything. Suppressing symptoms also suppresses potential. In addition, there are many drug side effects and addictions as serious drawbacks to using Ritalin and similar drugs. Schools like these drugs as they make it easier to control classrooms.

Allergy treatments: Most allergy treatments are only about 50% accurate, and the only truly effective one is End-Point-Titration (EPT). However, EPT therapy is usually very expensive, ranging up to $10,000 in expensive “doctor″ time to diagnose and treat.

EEG Biofeedback: All the research over the past 40 years shows clearly that EEG biofeedback training (aka Neurofeedback or Neurotherapy training) has been the most effective therapy for ADD/ADHD with a “cure” rate of 85% or greater. However, the mid or low income family simply can’t afford this proven therapy at an average cost of $4000+ per ADHD child,

Neuroliminal Training, a new drugless therapy has also proved by extensive volunteer testing (seven tests since 2004) that it does exactly the same thing as EEG BF, (namely change brain wave amplitudes. Instead of going to a clinic costing from $75-$250 per half hour, sitting in front of a computer screen with electrodes attached to the head about 50-60 times, (Many like it so much for good sleeping that they continue playing the CD.

23 volunteers conducted an 8 week test in 2006

and all 23 improved exactly as expected using EEG BF

In earlier tests in 2004 and 2005, similar results were seen. The similarities between the inexpensive Neuroliminal Training and the expensive EEG BF Training, especially in success rates was remarkable.

13 autistic children ranging in age from 3 to 16 were tested in a volunteer test of eight week usage of NT concluded in 2007. Some improved dramatically, while some improved slowly, all improved . Of course, autism takes a lot more time.

Success with ADD/ADHD is generally accepted when a child sits still in class, concentrates &amp learns, and gets better grades.  EEG BF success rate is about 85% with 50-60 (with no guarantee.)  NT guarantees this success or return the package for refund.

The Advantages and Disadvantages

1. Over 100,000 Happy Customers

Now this is something I don´t agree with her. In spite of her guide is truly excellence, but the time of healing for every people are different. There are so many contributed factors to the time of healing such as your current body condition and immune system or stress level, these will be vary from person to person.

3. Natural Program

Another thing I like about her program is that cold sore freedom in 3 days is based entirely on natural treatment meaning there is no side effect at all from taking her program and most of the ingredients for her program can be found on local health and food stores at a cost less than a can of soda. Compare that with hundreds of dollars for cold sore medical treatment.

I love bonuses; you can get so much with just paying for one product. Her bonuses are quite attractive for me, and what even more interesting is the 100% iron clad money back guarantee that she is willing to give. So in case during 60 days her program doesn´t work you can ask for full refund to her.
