How Stress Causes Weight Gain
The mounting stress in today's society leads to a vicious descending spiral of ever-increasing weight gain. But the good news is that the spiral is not inevitable and can be reversed and transcended.
"In times of economic hardship and stress, people gain weight," said Dr. Sasson Moulavi, a bariatric physician in Port St. Lucie, Fla. This is because:
-- When the economy deteriorates and the gremlin of stress seizes people, they tend to buy less expensive, lower-quality food, which is calorically rich and nutritionally poor. (Read more about How Stress Causes Weight Gain)

Botox Can Correct the Effects of Bell's Palsy
Botox injections may alleviate Bell's Palsy.
Bell's Palsy is a condition of weakening or paralysis of facial muscles. The condition is caused by trauma to the cranial nerve and sometimes is associated with pregnancy or a viral infection like Herpes simplex. The condition is usually not permanent. Although more prevalent in elderly people, it can strike anyone at any age and affects 40,000 Americans every year. (Read more about Botox Can Correct the Effects of Bell's Palsy)

Winterizing Your Skin
Once autumn arrives, Michael Panella can be found spending a lot of time outdoors. He loves taking on home projects that allow him to work in his back yard. But, the dropping temperature causes Michael’s rosacea, a flushing and redness of the skin, to flare up. “My cheeks, the bridge of my nose, it’s exacerbated tremendously by the cold,” says Michael.
Skin conditions like rosacea, acne and dry skin generally worsen in the winter months. “The cold weather takes its toll on the skin; the second- forced hot air and the low humidity that causes indoor creates a big problem for the skin; and the third – are winds, winds are very, very traumatic for the skin,” explains Dr. Mitchell Chasin, Director of the Reflection Center for Skin and Body.
Dermatologist, Dr. Mitchell Chasin says winterizing your skin in preparation for the cooler months ahead can make all the difference. “In the summer or in the fall time before their skin has become dry, before it’s become red and flaky; it’s much easier to prevent the skin from getting dry than to treat it once it has,” reports Dr. Chasin.

Angel Lift
Could it be true? A facelift without surgery? Without an injection?
That’s what a new dental implant is supposed to provide.
But does it work?
It’s called the Angel Lift facelift.
It uses a dental implant to basically push out the wrinkles.
It’s not what you typically think of when you want to turn back the clock on your facial appearance, but some experts who do perform the real facelift say there is something to this.
Now, Kelly Bruce didn’t like the fact that her face was starting to show the aging process. “I’m just looking to prevent any wrinkles that I can. I’m almost 40 I just really am hoping to find the best thing that I can do that’s non-invasive, no um facial injections.”
She could have gone the botox route, or restalyne.
But instead she went to her dentist to get angel lift, a non-surgical alternative to traditional fillers.
It is billed as the first and only removable, invisible, pain free prosthetic to prevent and remove wrinkles and correct facial asymmetry. (Read more about Angel Lift)

Men and Skin Protection
With the waning weeks of summer, this is the time that we’re hitting the pools and beaches strong, trying to catch the last vestiges of the sun.
But men, listen up: you don’t worry enough about your skin, according to the latest research.
It’s almost like you have to whack it into the brains of men--that they are susceptible, just like everyone else, to skin cancer.
Take Todd Bernstein for example. “The first marking actually started with my regular Dr. he saw a mark and said this should be removed, of course I didn’t do anything about it until two years later,” says Todd.
Todd’s back at the doctor’s office today, to get his stitches removed following the excision of five highly suspicious--in fact, near borderline-- malignant moles.
And he still hasn’t learned! “I do put on the sunscreen, my skin, my body, but I’m always in a rush uh especially when I’m outdoors playing golf so I do the basics, but you know it is nice to be in the sun; it feels good,” states Todd, an avid golfer.
Rates of melanomas have increased almost 15-fold over the last 50 years. And that increase has been observed disproportionally in men over 50.
The problem: men don’t get screened. (Read more about Men and Skin Protection)

Health Wrap: Studies on Botox, Migraines and Drinking
Researchers have discovered a novel way to increase the potency of Botox, which would translate into less frequent injections and perhaps even enhancing its cosmetic benefits, and it might mean lower prices for the popular wrinkle-remover.
In a medical setting, small doses of the Botox toxin causes localized, temporary paralysis that erases wrinkles and unwanted muscle spasms.
The researchers developed a synthetic molecule that can ‘super-activate’ the neurotoxin, thereby increasing the toxin’s paralyzing effect by as much as 14 times that of the untreated toxin. (Read more about Health Wrap: Studies on Botox, Migraines and Drinking)

Radiesse Treatment
57 year old Fran Ciulla decided to fight Father Time and gravity without getting plastic surgery. “The lines were really deep, my lips were shrinking,” says Fran.
Looking for a quick rejuvenating fix, while staying far away from the operating room, Fran chose a Radiesse treatment.
“Radiesse is a product, injectable product and its composition… very small microspheres of calcium hydroxide that are put into a water gel suspension,” explains facial plastic and reconstructive surgeon, Dr. Thomas Romo of Lenox Hill Hospital. (Read more about Radiesse Treatment)

SUMMER SAFETY
Your backyard pool may be your slice of summer heaven, and long hours at the beach may be your favorite way to spend your summer days. But everyone must take summer safety seriously. It could be the difference between life and death.
"Long exposure to sun can increase the rate of skin cancer about fourfold," says Dr. Marc Siegel, NYU Medical Center. More than one million new cases of skin cancer will be diagnosed in the United States this year. According to the American Academy of Dermatology, you should apply sunscreen every day if you plan on being in the sun more than 20 minutes. Sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30 or higher is recommended. (Read more about SUMMER SAFETY)

TITAN SKIN PROCEDURE
The Titan skin tightening procedure is giving thousands of people the world over the chance to non-surgically improve the way they look.
As a former model, Erin Yates used to have a wash board stomach. But she says giving birth to four children changed all that. “I have gained a good 50 or 60 pounds with each of my children. I could never get my lower stomach area to really tighten up. There was no fat there, but the skin would just be saggy,” says Erin. (Read more about TITAN SKIN PROCEDURE)
