Cosmetic Organic

Together with the attack of cosmetic products containing cutting-edge innovation, world of beauty called for a radical change in the green belt to offer.

Global warming is a problem with the rise of the environmental movement, including the beauty of the world to save. Cosmetic products with a high chemical content of the major manufacturers are not considered environmentally friendly because the manufacturing process pollutes nature.

From there was born a new variant, green cosmetics, body care range of cosmetics and environmentally friendly. Organic cosmetics also claimed more effective than the natural cosmetics as they contain 40% more antioxidants.

Moreover, compared with the chemical compound of high cosmetic, cosmetics, green was more quickly absorbed by the body, because the nature of the ingredients are natural. Another advantage, using green cosmetics, we can exposure to chemicals on the skin. Based on these facts, it is fair when it began to turn to cosmetic "green".

In fact, a survey company in the United States lovers care and organic cosmetics increased by 37% in women under 35 years old. The popularity of organic cosmetics is also increasing after a number of celebrities like Alicia Keys and Denise Van Outen to switch to organic cosmetics, including frequent Calmia body care, organic spa in London.

"I chose organic cosmetics, because in addition to secure the body, cosmetics also environmentally friendly," Keys said in an interview.

But now is not just content to be "green" organic cosmetics packaging of a product is also called the same "green" IT.

"I switched to using organic beauty products for health reasons, as well as environmentally," says Chloe Jo Davis, a blogger who focuses on vegetarian and environmental issues.

"But I've learned that beauty products not only have a maximum effectiveness, the package must also participate represent what is inside, and therefore organic beauty products, fair if the packaging is made from eco-products," said Davis .

Opinion Davis supported 40% of consumers who use natural products for their cosmetics. For users of cosmetics, the issue of life is not just about the elasticity and youthfulness of the skin, like what happens on the packaging of cosmetics, once used up, will just sit in shelters or waste into new products through the recycling process.

Results of an independent survey research, Mintel says that one in five women aged 25-34 years in the United States considers environmentally friendly packaging as important as the organic content in the cosmetics they use.

Moreover, the study suggests that a whopping 40% of American women environmentally friendly packaging as one of the reasons they buy certain cosmetics. Beauty industry also directly respond.

Besides the creation of organic standards in a variety of cosmetic products, using natural materials, and to minimize the use of chemical compounds, even more attention packaging techniques, including use of materials like bamboo or recycled materials for packaging of cosmetics .

Call it the face of Aveda moisturizer is packed using a tube of recycled material or organic Pangea soap wrapped in paper from organic fibers.

"We realize consumers are now more cautious, not only in the choice of ingredients in cosmetic products, but also the package," said John Delfausse, Chief Environmental Officer of Estee Lauder.

"Before we started developing a sustainable yang packaging more environmentally friendly, both in terms of production or when not in use," he said.

Not only Estee Lauder, Body Shop also ensure that their products deliver real benefits, not only for consumers, even the environment. Iris Midnight Bottle White Musk Eau de Toilette, Body Shop the latest products, contain recycled material.

According Delfausse does not necessarily mean environmentally friendly cosmetic packaging using recycled materials.

"There are many things that can lead to environmental benefits to be extracted only from the packaging of a product from the issue of carbon footprint, energy efficiency, or how the product will be recycled again after removal," he said, indication of the packing of cosmetics is a kind of waste, most in America.

Delfausse also mentioned, Estee Lauder has established cooperation with various agencies and nonprofit organizations that focus on lingkungan.Salah only Forest Stewardship Council, which provides certification for Estee Lauder cosmetic applicators in wood materials and the make-up pencil.

Meanwhile, the fur on the brush applicator claimed Estée Lauder is made of natural fibers combined with resin from recycled products.

"We have the product in a bag of applicators package are biodegradable cellulose fibers," said Delfausse, which also mentions Estee Lauder has a packaging made from recycled materials such as bioplastics, bioresin, and organic materials such as cellulose fibers are easily broken in naturally developed.

Do not stop there, even cosmetics companies to packaging recycling obsolete products.

"We ask the consumer to return the empty containers through a recycling program. We do this not for the packaging of shelter," said Delfausse.

Not too difficult if you want a slim and healthy body. You only need a high protein diet and reducing refined carbohydrates. It's been proven in recent studies conducted in Europe.

Who does not want an ideal and perfect body to have. However, for several reasons such as unhealthy diet and rarely exercise, the body becomes more stretched. If you've worked hard to gain weight, but not optimal to lose, a team of researchers from Europe suggest more protein and reducing refined carbohydrates.

This recipe is supposed to be effective to scrape the fat. Between men and women who received at least 8 percent of body weight lost on low calorie diet, those who spent the next six months with a diet high in protein and low in refined carbohydrates are the least likely to get back on her weight.

Participants were divided into different groups with a total protein content to a varied diet, fat in moderation, and the number of different carbohydrates in the category of high or low glycemic index (GI), which is a measure of how quickly food is converted into sugar in the blood meal.

"Are the results of this study was interpreted as a change in diet suggestions for wider use? I would say we still need to be careful because the GI is really not easy and have a device that can be directly used for most people , "said Dr. Thomas Meinert Larsen of the Copenhagen University, a study author told Reuters Health page.

GI was originally developed for use with diabetes, which indicates how quickly the blood can reach the top after one of eating certain foods. Food that is high GI levels, white bread for example, produces a rapid spike in blood sugar levels.

Although the content of such a low GI bread wheat, causing a slower rise in blood sugar that lasted for a longer period of time. Most food labels do not currently covered by the GI content. "There is enough information about the foods that trigger GI available on the Internet," says Larsen.

In a recent study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, Larsen and his colleagues followed 773 men and women and their families in eight Western European countries. For families, they were randomly assigned to one of five different types of diets and body treatments run for 26 weeks.

There are no restrictions on calories in the diet, but four of the species that the proportion of dietary protein, fat and refined carbohydrates a person's daily food intake spin states. A group without food restriction as a control, the rest being allocated to food with low protein and high GI diet, low protein and high GI, high protein and low GI or a high protein and high GI food.

In the group of participants who are low in protein, people consume 13 percent of calories as protein source. At the high-protein group, 25 percent of the total consumed energy is protein.

Participants in all groups could eat ad libitum. About 71 percent of adults who follow the study completed the study properly.

While about 26 percent of the diet high in protein and low GI excluded from the study before completion, and 37 percent of low-protein diet group and a high GI also stopped in the middle of the road. Among the 548 people who completed the study, only those who consume diets high in protein and low GI increase in body weight (average 1.67 kg or about 3.7 pounds).

When the researchers looked separately at the people in the group of high-protein diet, she found she weighed about a kilogram less than the low protein group. Where the same result holds for groups with a low GI diet and high GI. Larsen stated that everyone is still common sense in applying these principles of a low GI.

According to him, Nutella chocolate hazelnut butter flavor actually has a low GI level compared with cooked carrots, but clearly not including healthy food. For this reason, Larsen said, people should use the GI concept in a food group, such as selecting wheat instead of white bread or brown rice compared choose white rice.

In the meantime, anyone can reduce your calorie intake and lose weight in a short period of time.

"The hardest part is keeping it all," said Dr. David Ludwig, director of the optimum weight for Life program at Children's Hospital Boston, USA.

"Facts have proven that people who are at high protein and low GI diet is the most successful in keeping the weight off is no problem due to sheer will," said Ludwig, who co-authored an editorial in the study notes. "The nature of nutrition and how nutrition affects our biological client may have many connections to how likely are we to obey a calorie-controlled diet," he added.

"People who run a diet high in protein and low GI meal is similar, perhaps because they feel less hungry and more energetic. Or just realize that they are doing (diet) is better. There is no better chance of succeeding if successful weight loss concerns. People also can certainly try this at home, "says Ludwig.

"Adding a serving of peanuts and peas into the food each day and re-eating of processed rice to feed at least as much dietary changes they obtained in this study," says Ludwig.

"If everyone in America can limit two servings of cereal and replaced by a serving of peanuts and a serving of peas, the impact on health is really a great potential is, and that changes within everyone's reach," he said.

From birth, chest stuck in your body. However, how much we really know about him? Most women only go to the doctor if you experience pain or discomfort. In fact, it is important to notice this change much of the risk of breast cancer.

"Her breasts are experiencing a life change, depending on changes in hormone levels, changes in the premenstrual pregnancy and lactation and menopause, finally," said Cynara Coomer, MD, chief of breast surgery at Staten Island University Hospital and assistant clinical professor of surgery at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York, as reported by Yahoo Health.

"Knowing what is perceived breast, as his physical appearance, and aware of the changes in each cycle can help determine the age of normal and disease conditions that can happen," he added.

Breast pain, normal?

It is normal for breast tenderness during menstruation, especially if you have fibrocystic breast, breast tissue is thick and prone to swelling. Caffeine can make breasts feel more painful, so try to avoid drinking coffee, tea and soda.

To help relieve the discomfort, ask your doctor about a daily combination of vitamin B6 (100-200 mg), vitamin E (200 to 400 IU) and evening primrose oil (1000 IU).

"Vitamin B6 is a diuretic which helps to reduce levels of the hormone prolactin (which stimulates the breasts to produce milk), while evening primrose oil rich in gamma linolenic acid, which can reduce symptoms of pain," explains Mary Jane Minkin, MD, clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at Yale School of Medicine.

A little information on the effect of vitamin E, but the overall combination is likely to bear fruit.

"At least 60 percent of my patients with fibrocystic breast try this recipe and I feel much better," says Dr. Minkin.

If the pain attacked constantly and does not disappear after your period, consult a physician. There is a small chance of infection or tumors.

Breast is very sensitive, it is normal?

tissue hormone-sensitive breast is highly sensitive to changes that occur during the menstrual cycle.

"In the day or the week before menstruation, estrogen and progesterone levels change resulted in changes, including swollen breasts enlarged breast glands and canals. You may notice breast becomes softer and more sensitive to sexual stimulation just before the menstrual period, "said Paula Randolph MD, assistant clinical professor of obstetrics and gynecology at New York-Presbyterian Columbia University Medical Center, New York.

The changes are nothing to worry about because your breasts return to normal after the menstrual period. But if you feel uncomfortable, try using anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen and mild diuretics to reduce symptoms.

My breasts leaked, it's normal?

If not breastfeeding, spontaneous nipple discharge may be a sign of problems.

"Tumors of the pituitary gland or at the breast can cause leaks, or it may be a sign of polyps (usually benign) breast line," said Dr. Coomer. If you see these symptoms, talk to your doctor.

One of my breasts is bigger than the others, is normal?

Of course, even the size of the hand or foot is not exactly the same. "In fact, most women have a significant difference in breast size," said Dr. Coomer.

For some unknown reason, the left breast is often larger than the right breast. Enter a breast pad inside your bra to match its shape. If you are experiencing major changes are relatively new (for example, a breast sudden swelling), call your doctor. This could mean that the milk ducts become inflamed due to infection or possibly a cyst.

Grow hair on my nipples normal?

"Many women have hair on their nipples and breasts, where you can change the amount and frequency on the basis of levels of growth hormone shifts," says Dr. Minkin.

Growth may be more pronounced when you are going through puberty, perimenopause and menopause. You can remove hair as he did in another place with tweezers, wax or laser.

If you are experiencing hormonal changes and menstrual periods become irregular (longer, shorter or even nonexistent), talk to your doctor about hormone levels test. You may have excessive production of androgens (male hormones) caused by a condition called polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS).

I inverted nipple is normal?

Approximately 15.5 percent of women have inverted nipples (nipple into the breast mound, creating a dimpled or perforated), and may occur in one or both breasts. Some others have inverted nipples, which only partially.

If any of these problems stem from puberty or 20 years, it's no big thing, especially if the nipple appears when stimulated. However, if you have seen a sudden change in the appearance and nipple, see a doctor.

My nipples changed color, is this normal?

The color of the nipple and surrounding skin (areola) was pale pink to dark brown.

"However, changes in hormone levels, either due to the menstrual cycle, certain medications, or aging may change the pigmentation. This is especially true during pregnancy when the breast skin to reinforce and develop a layer of fat to facilitate breast-feeding a baby later, "said Dr. Coomer.

If your nipples change color in the absence of hormonal changes, talk to your doctor, especially if the breast is also itchy. The possibility of infection or cancer can be a problem.
