Rosacea

Rosacea is a skin disease that causes redness and swelling on the face. The beginning stages of Rosacea are blushing easily, redness in the center of the face and can gradually include cheeks, forehead, chin and nose. Small blood vessels can be seen when the disease progresses. Also, tiny pimples begin to appear which is commonly known as “adult acne” but there are no blackheads.Fair-skinned adults, especially women between the ages of 30 and 50 are at risk of developing Rosacea. Women especially get Rosacea more often than men because numerous cases have been associated with menopause. However, Rosacea can affect men or women of all ages and even children.

To prevent a Rosacea outbreak, it is best to avoid hot drinks, alcoholic beverages, caffeine and spicy foods. Avoid extreme hot and cold temperatures if possible and use good sun protection by using sunscreens with SPF of 15 or higher. Do not rub or scrub your face and use soaps, moisturizers and other facial products that are free of alcohol.

If left untreated, Rosacea will get worse and may become more difficult to treat. There are many treatment options for Rosacea so be sure to check with a Dermatologist to find which treatment plan is best for you and that will aid in acne removal.

More Data on Dieting

With the start of a new year, many Americans have started a new diet and workout regimen (perhaps using weight benches or a Needak mini trampoline). Halfway through winter, many are starting to think of warmer weather and more revealing clothing items. A new study in the Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism has data that should help dieters.

In this study, the level of ghrelin, an appetite stimulating hormone, was measured in participants. The participants were given three beverages. Each of these drinks had a differing amount of fats, proteins, and carbohydrates. Blood was drawn from the participants before and after consuming the beverages. Ghrelin levels were measured in each sample.

The results were quite interesting. Fats did the worst for suppressing appetites. Carbohydrates initially supressed appetites very well. However, after a few hours, the ghrelin levels were higher than before the beverage was consumed. Proteins did the best in this study, suppressing ghrelin levels for the longest amount of time.

Based on these results, dieters should consider eating a sensible diet high in protein to help curb their appetites. Combine this diet or the lemonade diet with a regular exercise program and dieters should begin to lose weight.
