My Womans World- Lady Golfers have More Drive

Ladies - We have a secret weapon within our reach. Somewhere in the house most of us have an old fashioned Broom. Dig it out of the cupboard or the hut. Get your Driver and take them both into the garden. Sounds funny? Don't worry. This amazing tip for Lady Golfers give yards and power to your drive and tones the muscles of your waist and abdomen.

Now first take the Broom, hold it as you would a Golf club. You will find it feels heavier and longer than your Driver. Take a practice swing and the first thing you will notice, it stops you using your hands and makes you use your arms and your abdominal muscles. Swing the broom and listen till it goes Broooom. That's a good sound but you don't want to hear it at the top of your swing, you want to hear the Broooom at the bottom of your swing and follow through.

Do this 10-15 times or as many times as you feel comfortable with then try your Driver. You will find out how much the muscles of your waist and abdomen are now giving you extra power at impact with the lighter weight of the Driver.

Ladies - That's knowing your body. Power to all Lady Golfers and good luck to your success in "My Womens World"  Pass it on. This is Womans Power.

The Four Phases of Rosacea

Rosacea is a mysterious disease that can afflict anybody from age 30 and up. Medically speaking, Rosacea is simply a chronic inflammation of the skin. The symptoms are not very aesthetic nor pleasing to the eyes, however. For one, it causes redness and pimples on the nose, the cheeks, chin and forehead. The annoying part is that the disease comes and goes and comes around again without your notice.

It is sometimes called adult acne. Once it had started it also causes soreness of the eyes and eyelids. Starting out as the tendency to blush easily, Rosacea can progress fast into facial redness, and red bumps and pustules.

Diagnosis

Many dermatologists and medical researchers are one in the opinion that Rosacea is one disease hard to diagnose. The reason is simply that there are many other skin conditions that co-exist with it. The list of these diseases — acne, seborrhea, eczema, psoriasis, or lupus symptoms — is rather plentiful.

Primary problem

The main problem is that medications used in the treatment of acne, for instance, can be too harsh leading to the onset of “acne Rosacea”. In the meantime, aggressive acne treatments to reduce oiliness of the skin can result in the flaking associated with seborrheic dermatitis.  The butterfly rash of lupus can lead to a misdiagnosis of Rosacea.

Phases

Rosacea has four distinct and recognized phases, each one with its own groupings of symptoms. The disease does not always evolve from one phase to the other, but the symptoms have a tendency to eventually become severe. The four phases of Rosacea are pre-Rosacea, vascular Rosacea, inflammatory Rosacea, and late Rosacea.

Pre-Rosacea

In the early phase of Rosacea, it appears as a repeated tendency to blush. The blushing is known to be caused by the dilation of the blood vessels just under the skin. Gradually, the redness from the blushing becomes more persistent, and particularly around the nose.

  

Vascular Rosacea

In this phase of Rosacea, the blood vessels swell and fluid leaks out of them at a faster-than-normal rate. This results in the skin looking puffy and warm. As the blood vessels dilate, they are visible on the skin as small red lines. It is called telangiectasia, commonly referred to as “spider veins”. At this time, the skin also becomes more sensitive. When cosmetics and other skin products are used, there often is a stinging or slightly burning sensation. The skin’s sebaceous glands enlarge, making the skin oilier.

Inflammatory Rosacea

When papules (small red bumps) and pustule (pus-filled pimples) star appearing, Rosacea has entered the inflammatory stage. These two symptoms are like acne, but they are totally different and require different treatments.

Late Rosacea

This is the most advanced phase of Rosacea. The illness still has all its earlier symptoms, only they appear more intense. The redness of the skin deepens, and the number of visible veins increases. At this point, the skin may also thicken. In some people, the excess skin tissue causes the nose to become enlarged and bulbous. This is called rhinophyma. Rosacea has never been more distinct.

Managing Rosacea

Rosacea starts out like any other common skin disease where the victims usually begin with a tendency to flush or blush easily. As Rosacea progresses, the victims usually develop redness in the centers of both their cheeks. The redness, after a time, spreads gradually beyond the nose and the cheeks. It then goes to the forehead and the chin, and on some people, even the ears, chest and back are affected.

The face of Rosacea

Tiny blood vessels they call spider veins develop on their faces, especially on both their cheeks. After a while, small red bumps develop and appear in crops. Some of these red bumps contain pus (pustules) and those without pus are called papules. These red bumps look like acne, and people usually call them adult acne. However, the affected skin swells and these bumps do not develop into blackheads.

Other symptoms

In advanced cases, rhinophyma may develop. Rhinophyma makes the nose larger (“bulbous nose”) and the cheeks puffy. These are caused by the enlarged oil glands.

At the lower half of the nose, thick bumps also develop. Usually, this condition tends to develop more in men than in women. About half of Rosacea victims develop what is called ocular Rosacea, affecting the eyes. It often causes dryness, burning and grittiness of the eyes. If left untreated, it can develop into serious complications, including blindness.

 Tips for patients

There are so many things that can trigger Rosacea flare-ups. To help decrease these, the following are recommendations from dermatologists taken from data supplied by the victims themselves. Avoid certain foods and drinks. Spicy foods, caffeine, hot drinks, and alcohol – these are just some of the most common triggers for Rosacea. Alcohol is bad for both drinkers and non-drinkers alike. Even the smell of spicy foods triggers some reactions to those allergic to them.

Always have a good sun protection. Exposure to the sun seems to be the most common trigger. Limit your exposure to sunlight, but if you do, wear some SPF30 sunscreen and re-apply them every 2 hours.

Guard your skin from extreme heat or very cold temperatures. Either one aggravates Rosacea. Protect your face from cold and wind with a non-irritating scarf or ski mask. Do not overheat. Exercise in a cool place.

Do not use skin care products or any cosmetics that contain alcohol or other irritating substances. When using hair sprays, avoid having the spray getting in contact with your face.

Avoid rubbing, scrubbing or massaging the face. As much as possible, keep your face clean and avoid having to touch it unless necessary. Keep your skin care routine simple and use fewer products.

It is important to note the episodes when your flushing occurs. The above list is just the common triggers that happen to most Rosacea victims. There are other triggers not listed here. 

By writing down and taking notes to what foods, products, activities, medications and other things that triggers your Rosacea, you would be able to exactly know them to be able to avoid them.

Tips on How to Deal With Rosacea Breakouts

Rosacea may not be a dangerous disease but it can severely affect a person's self-confidence. The skin disease is characterized by redness in the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin regions of the face. This can be really hard to hide. In fact, some people with Rosacea refuse to even go out because they are ashamed of how they look. Besides the redness, some cases also have pustules and pimples similar to acne but instead of whiteheads, you will find clear liquid. Blood vessels also become dilated and thus showing through the skin and the eyes may become watery.

Although it affects millions of people all over the world, about 46 million to be exact, nothing much has been known about Rosacea in terms of its causes, spread and cure. There are many theories as to what exactly causes the break outs but nothing has been proven yet. So far, there is no evidence that it spreads from person to person contact but again, nothing is conclusive. One thing is for sure, as of now, there is no cure for Rosacea. People with it will need to control the symptoms and manage the problem all throughout their lives. There are treatments though that will help people lessen the breakouts but these treatments should be done continuously. People who have stopped treatment had remissions.

The struggle against Rosacea may be lifelong but with treatments to control the symptoms widely available, coping with it is not so bad. Here are some tips that might help you deal with the problem.

1.Know your triggers

Break outs are usually triggered by a host of factors. These triggers are different for each person. Some may even have more than one trigger. The trick is to determine what your triggers are so that you can minimize your break outs. This is the first line of defense for Rosacea patients. Sun exposure and changing weather are the most common triggers along with spicy food and stress. Some vegetables like eggplants and spinach can also trigger breakout also citrus fruits, raisins and plum. Chocolates and other dairy products are also in the list of triggers also cigarettes and alcoholic beverages.

2. Get treatment

One thing to remember about Rosacea is it worsens with age especially when it is left untreated. It occurs later in life, from about 30 years old to about 50. It is important that you get treatment as soon as you realize that you have the problem. This will help you control your symptoms.

3. Be aware

One of the hardest things about Rosacea is recognizing its symptoms. It is a chronic skin problem, meaning that the symptoms comes and goes. They do not appear regularly or in the same extent. This is why some people do not realize that they have the problem. Some think that the redness is because of sunburn or because they get easily flushed than other people. Be aware. Your vigilance will help you deal with the problem early on. 

Ways That You Can Deal With Rosacea

Rosacea is one of those diseases that is hard to deal with perhaps because nothing much is known about it. In fact, even with more than 46 million Americans affected by the skin problem, only few know just what exactly Rosacea is. Some do not even know that they have Rosacea.

One reason is the fact that symptoms are not regular. It is not like a disease that you will have symptoms for and it will not go away until it is cured. With Rosacea, flares are usually caused by triggers from the environment. The most common trigger is sunlight and hot weather. Humidity is also a factor. So is stress. Some patients also suffer from break outs when they eat certain kinds of food or when they use some skin products. Spicy food is a common trigger. Because Rosacea only occurs when these triggers are present, some people do not even realize that they have Rosacea. They think that it is just ordinary sunburn or flushing when their skin develops red patches or it is just an allergy when they get pimples.

Despite these, there are a lot of medications available for Rosacea patients precisely because not all people react to the problem the same way. The most effective line of defense is of course avoid the triggers altogether. Those who are triggered by heat and sun exposure make sure that they have umbrellas and hats when they leave the house. Others try to pick their food carefully to make sure that they will not eat trigger foods. These are of course trial and error. You first need to find out what exactly is causing the break outs. This can be a problem especially if the incidents are not really regular.

Still, those who do have confirmed cases of Rosacea have a wide array of treatments to choose from. From the simplest home remedies to the extreme measures of laser therapies for those with extreme cases, Rosacea patients are sure to find one that suits their condition and needs. But remember though that Rosacea cannot be cured. People can only manage the disease and control the symptoms. There is actually nothing more they can do. It's a good thing that Rosacea cases are often mild.

In extreme cases, doctors often prescribe topical and oral medicines. Some medicines used to treat acne are also used for Rosacea like erythromycin and clindamycin. Topical steroids are also used but care should be given because prolonged use can have side effects like skin irritation like perioral dermatitis which is seen on the areas surrounding the mouth.

There are also prescription cleansers that Rosacea patients are prescribed with. Isotretinoin is one example, which is used daily for about four to six months. This is also used to treat acne problems. But like steroids, monitoring is essential here because of its side effects. For women who are using it, regular blood tests are done because the medicine can harm the pregnancy should the woman get pregnant while using the drug.

Rosacea – A Short Overview

From a medical point of view, Rosacea is a “chronic inflammation of the skin”. It causes redness and pimples on the nose, cheeks, chin and forehead. It comes and goes and is sometimes called adult acne. It can also cause soreness of the eyes and eyelids.

It starts as someone’s tendency to blush easily, but it can progress into facial redness, and red bumps and pustules.

Symptoms

The disease is likely to appear at age 30. (Pre-Rosacea is seen sometimes in teens and early 20’s.) A flushed face, pimples or bumps (swelling) around the cheeks, nose, mouth and forehead are early indications.

Sometimes, tiny red veins appear on the face, and there is a burning or stinging pain when applied with lotions or medicines. The face will become increasingly dry and sensitive.

In ocular Rosacea, the eyes become red and look irritated, including the eyelids which may look red and swollen. Vision sometimes can be blurry. The eyes become watery and tend to develop sties. (Unchecked, there is a possibility of corneal damage or even blindness)

In extreme cases, especially without treatment, there would be knobby bumps on the nose and cheeks that can multiply. This is advanced Rosacea (rhinophyma).

Causes

The exact cause or causes are not yet known. Researchers think Rosacea is caused by genetic conditions and environmental factors (bacteria and the sun, etc.)The disease has a tendency to affect fair-skinned people or those who blush easily.

Rosacea flares up when blood vessels in the face expand and causes blushing or redness. The triggers are the sun, wind, stress, alcohol, spicy food, hot weather and hot baths. Sometimes, mood changes can cause a Rosacea flare-up.

Treatments

Unfortunately, Rosacea has no cure, only medicine to manage the disease. The symptoms can be treated to keep the disease from getting worse.

For the redness and the pimples, antibiotic creams and pills are sometimes recommended by the doctors. (Pregnant women are barred from using antibiotics.) Antibiotics also take some time to work on the improvements of your symptoms.

Surgery

Doctors sometimes prescribe stronger medicines if antibiotics cannot do the control job. As a last resort, surgery may sometimes help your skin look better. The choices include dermabrasion, cryosurgery or laser surgery.

Oral antibiotics and some topical solutions can keep your Rosacea under control. A photodynamic therapy can reduce redness and the appearance of the blood vessels. For patients with severe rhinophyma (“bulbous nose”), laser re-surfacing can be used to reshape your nose.

Acne and Rosacea

There is no truth that one causes the other, but these two skin conditions often appear together. Unfortunately, acne (“acne vulgaris”) and Rosacea required two different kinds of treatments.

Rosacea is a disorder afflicting the extensive facial vascular network. Acne, on the other hand, is related to the oil glands that can affect the skin all over the body.

If you have both, it is best to consult your doctor on your skin care routine because the methods used to treat one condition can make the other disease worse.  It is a tricky position for you and your Rosacea.

Ways on How You Can Manage Rosacea At Home

Rosacea is one disease that can be managed at home. It cannot be cured, mind you, but at least people can do things to avoid flare ups. In fact, some do not even realize they have Rosacea because they avoid their Rosacea triggers without knowing that they are doing it. This is partly because symptoms are highly irregular and there are a host of triggers that can cause the flare ups. Thus, people do not often see the connection immediately. It is important though that once you see the connection, you get help immediately or start to manage the flare ups because the condition has been known to worsen with age especially when it is left untreated for a long time.

Rosacea is more common in women than in men and unlike acne, it often affects people who are older. The good news is, there seems to be no evidence that it is transmitted from person to person. The bad news is doctors still do not know how it appears in the first place. There are a lot of theories but no confirmed cause.

To those who want no more of the flare ups, here are some of the ways that you can manage your Rosacea without going to the doctor all the time.

1. Avoid sunlight

This is the number one trigger of Rosacea flare ups. Sun exposure, hot weather and sunbathing can cause that redness on the skin. So if you plan to go outside, bring sun protection like an umbrella, a hat, even a shawl, sunglasses and sunscreen.

2. Avoid spicy foods

Chili sauce may be your staple for every meal but if you want to control your Rosacea better steer clear of those spices.

3. Be observant of your flare ups

There are foods that can trigger Rosacea break outs. The list of food products is long and to be honest it can be anything on your table. Known triggers are dairy products, some veggies like eggplants, beans and spinach, some fruits like avocados, plums, raisins and other citrus fruits, and some meats. Add to that common staples like coffee and other caffeine loaded products, cheese and even soy sauce and you are covering virtually everything on the menu. Chocolates and alcoholic drinks are also common triggers.

4. Stop smoking

Here is another reason why you should throw away those cigarette packs. You are not only in danger of getting Emphysema and Tuberculosis and other problems including Cancer of the lungs, you can also develop Rosacea.

5. Get treated

If these things do not help you control your break outs, then it is time to go to the expert. Doctors can give you medicines to control flare ups. There are also treatments available that will help you deal permanently with your problem. Topical steroids for instance are often prescribed to Rosacea patients for a few months. This medicine, however, is closely monitored by doctors since it can cause irritation around the mouth, which is a very common side effect.

Effective Skin Care Strategies to Prevent Rosacea

With the growing popularity of different skin care products out there, people who have skin problems such as Rosacea endlessly search for skin care products to relieve them. But then, due to lack of knowledge and information, more and more people are misled to use products and avail of treatments without consulting a dermatologist or a physician resulting to a more devastating situation.

To avoid mistakes in choosing skin care products and treatments, it is very important to have the knowledge about general causes of skin problems—its types, the age of the patient, current status or condition—so you know what are the products appropriate for each kind. 

Also, try to prevent the development of the skin condition by developing strategies to keep their skin healthy.

Prevention is the best cure

Aside from skin problems, experts say that aging greatly contributes to unhealthy skin. In fact, some people feel that aging or growing old is like paying for something they haven’t consumed. But, if aging—like skin problems—is understood properly, preventive measures can done to avoid seeing aging as a torture or a punishment. The following are just some of the simple skin care strategies that you can practice to your daily life.

1. Watch what you eat. Avoid hot and spicy foods as well as hot foods to avoid further complications. Also, Do everything you can to maintain a healthy weight. Maintaining a healthy weight that corresponds to your height is one of the best ways to avoid developing skin disorders. Keeping a healthy weight can be possible by eat fruits and vegetables, limiting fat and calories intake, and with regular work out and exercise.

2. Shield yourself from the sun's damaging rays. Protecting yourself from the sun's deadly rays is one of the best skin care strategies out there. Since exposure to the sun is one of the major causes of skin disorder, lesser exposure to it can help you reduce the risk factor of skin cancer. To protect your skin further, avoid long sun exposure 10 a.m. - 2 p.m. and always apply sun block the skin when you're staying outdoors.

3. Drink plenty of water. Hydrating your skin is also one of the best skin care strategies out there to prevent Rosacea. Make sure that you provide your body enough supply of water and not with fluids that can damage organs in the body and weaken the immune system such as alcohol. 

4. Always keep your face and body clean. Rosacea is a skin condition that could be preventable by eliminating the factors that would aggravate the condition such as dirt. After cleaning your face thoroughly, you can also apply the treatment that your doctor has prescribed.

Foods That People Suffering From Rosacea Should Eat

With all the toxicities modern life brings, people should be more careful in watching their skin because they are more prone to disorders such as Rosacea.

Rosacea is a skin condition that is characterized by flushed skin as well as reddish and purple blotches that continue to grow over time. If remained untreated, it will continue to result to pigmented skin with big red blotches caused by blotted blood vessels.

It is very common to women and its advance stages are diagnosed when the patient reaches 30 and above. It is said that the causes of this skin condition is yet to be discovered. Experts say that there are so many factors that can trigger this and the severity of the condition depends on the genes and family history of the condition.

Experts say that one of the probable causes of Rosacea is eating foods that may trigger it such as spicy foods, caffeine, alcohol and too much fatty foods. To those who are prone to developing Rosacea, they should consume the following foods on a regular basis:

1. Fruits. Studies show that fruits are perfect for people who want to take good care of their skin. Aside from being an all-natural product, fruits are low in calories, rich in dietary fiber that helps boosts satiety, and satisfies a person’s sweet tooth without worrying about weight gain and storing fats which can affect the skin’s condition. Containing all the nutrients and vitamins it has, fruits are an ideal for maintaining good skin because it also aids in the prevention of vitamin deficiency, a rich source of dietary fiber and rich in folate. However, citrus fruits should be avoided because these are considered as offenders for Rosacea.

2. Vegetables. Just like fruits, vegetables are also considered perfect foods for the skin. Aside from being low in calorie-content, high in dietary fiber, and full of dietary nutrients that help maintain efficient metabolism, veggies—in various preparations—also make good and appetizing snacks. Aside from being a rich source of important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B-complex micronutrients, vitamins C, E and K that combat vitamin deficiency, vegetables are also excellent sources of the protective plant micronutrient called “phytochemicals.” Having vegetables as diet food also lowers the risk of heart disease, cancers, and high blood pressure while protecting the body from having illnesses caused by muscle degeneration.

3. Tofu. This is also good for avoiding Rosacea because it is packed with protein as well as cooling properties which can aid the redness of the skin.

4. Meats. For people with Rosacea, lean chicken/turkey meats, and fish are also ideal food for the skin compared to red meats. This is because these are rich in protein, essential minerals and vitamins, and micronutrients for excellent metabolism and would veer away the storage of fats. 

5. Seaweed. This is one of the most suggested foods that people with Rosacea, because it greatly helps in eliminating the dampness. There are many types of edible seaweed available in the market today, many of the leading Chef’s in today’s modern cooking use seaweed for flavouring.

6. Water. It is always best to drink up lots of water, ideally 10 to 12 glasses a day to ensure that you are well hydrated. This will also help wash out the impurities in the body.

Different Ways To Find Out What Triggers Your Rosacea

Rosacea is one skin disease that has stumped even the best doctors and scientists. Until now, even with more than 16 million people in the United States afflicted with it and a total of 45 million worldwide, nobody knows about this problem. In fact, people who have them don't even know that they have it.

Rosacea can cause redness on the skin. Usually, it targets the face, the chin, the nose and the areas of the forehead. The redness is often patches of redness. In some cases, the eyes can be affected and they become watery. This is why people whose eyes are affected, particularly the eyelids always make sure that the areas are clean and hygienic. Otherwise, there can be an infection, which when left untreated can affect vision.

Rosacea affects Caucasian and has thus been called the "the curse of the Celts." Unlike acne, the skin problem affects people who are older. It is also three times more common in women than in men. What makes Rosacea so unique is the fact that flare ups are triggered by a host of factors and not all people have the same set of triggers. The irregularity of its cause and even the occurrence of its symptoms make this skin problem harder to detect and harder to treat.

Those with only mild symptoms can just simply avoid contact with their triggers, provided that they do know what their triggers are. And herein lies the problem. Because there are so many triggers, it is sometimes hard to recognize which triggers the flare ups. This is especially true if there is more than one trigger. Triggers can be anything from the heat of the sun to an eggplant. Here are some tips to help you hunt down what is causing your flare up.

1. Start with the Common

Although there are many triggers for Rosacea, there are surveys that narrow down the most common. From these surveys check out the triggers and see if any of them are also your triggers. That way, you can already watch out for incidents. Without checking this list, finding what causes the flare ups may be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

2. Be observant

When you have flare ups, check immediately what you have come into contact with or what you have eaten. This is the only way you can determine what your triggering factor is.

3. Test it

Remember also that observing just once is not enough. You have to be sure that it is the trigger by testing it. When you have already narrowed down the possible triggers or you already have your suspicions, check your theory. Deliberately expose yourself to the factor and see if your Rosacea is going to flare up.

4. Record it

Another way to easily see what factors are triggering your Rosacea flare ups is to keep a journal of the foods that you eat and things that you do. As much as you can, try to include the factors that are listed on the most common list. 

Foods That May Trigger Rosacea

People who are busy with their work are usually the ones who are prone to suffering skin disorders such as Rosacea. This is because the exhaustion and their hectic schedule keep them from maintaining healthy skin on a daily basis. If you are one of those who are having trouble to keep healthy skin due to too much work, it is now time to reflect what might be causing these and address it properly.

Rosacea is a skin disorder that results to flushed skin. If remains undiagnosed, it will result to the appearance of purplish or reddish discoloration on the skin as well as the dark blotches due to permanent enlargements of small blood vessels.

This is considered as among the most common skin disorders in the US. In fact, studies show that 1 out of 20 Americans are diagnosed to suffer from this skin disorder. Experts say that women are most prone to this skin condition and their overall appearance is greatly affected.

Various cases of Rosacea show that people who are suffering from it, aside from extreme skin flushing, will eventually have enlarged and swollen nose which continues to turn red over time.

Don’t trigger it

Experts say that up until now, the exact cause or causes of Rosacea have been identified. Some studies show that the skin disorder can be caused by foods and unhealthy lifestyle.

Experts also say that the best way to prevent it is to avoid foods that may trigger it. These are the foods that may trigger Rosacea:

-         Foods that contain too much fat. Experts say that people are eating foods that have too much fat are prone to not sleeping well at night because it creates a lot of digesting work for the stomach. Lack of sleep, experts say, is one of the major reasons of developing skin disorder such as Rosacea. If you want to avoid developing any skin disorder, he or she should get better sleep by cutting down on foods that are too rich or fatty so there will be lesser work for the stomach especially at nighttime.

-         Too much spicy or acidic foods. These sets of foods can very much trigger Rosacea because if one eats too many sets of spicy foods, it can lead to troubles in the stomach and even prickly skin. (I do love my spicy food. Got to keep my eye on it)

-         Too much alcohol intake. Some people say that alcohol may help one to get better sleep or can relieve stress but it greatly affects the skin because it makes it dry. When the skin is dry, it is more prone to wrinkles and other skin conditions. (oop’s another of my weaknesses)

-         Foods that contain caffeine. These are another set of culprits for people who are having trouble in maintaining their skin care regimen and those who are prone to suffering to skin diseases such as Rosacea. If you are prone to this, it is best to avoid foods as well as drinks that have high caffeine content such as coffee, chocolates, sodas that are caffeinated as well as teas.

My Womens World -Rosacea-Common Questions and Natural Cures

Recently when discussing the problems of Menopause lots of the Women who have discussed the situation with me have also expressed another worry which effects the way we look. It is Rosacea. I am going to blog regularly information that I have gathered.

Since these are items of information that I have collected they will be available for anyone to view who has or knows someone who maybe suffering so watch this space.

Common questions about Rosacea

Rosacea is one of the most misunderstood diseases there is. It does not also help that sometimes people's faces get so damaged that they won't even talk about their problem. Rosacea, to those who have not heard of the problem, Rosacea is a skin problem characterized by severe redness on the skin on the forehead, cheeks, nose and chin.

Unlike acne, there seems to be no hormonal imbalances or blackheads/whiteheads. All Rosacea can offer is a totally confusing set of symptoms and triggers. It is in fact so confusing that some people do not even realize they have Rosacea. The redness that have developed is often attributed to sunburn or just flushing. Still, it pays to know who the patients are and how far they are along with the program. Below are some of the most common questions about Rosacea. Read on and some of your questions may be answered.

Who are affected?

The nickname "The Curse of the Celts" perhaps can answer the question. Rosacea often affects Caucasians that are in their 30s to people in their 50s. Women are also more affected than men.

What are the symptoms?

Besides the redness on the skin of the forehead, nose, cheeks and chin, people affected with Rosacea may also suffer from watery eyes. Blood vessels may also be seen through the skin. In some cases, pustules and pimples develop. Unlike acne, these pimples when pressed do not spat out pus or whiteheads; they secrete clear liquids.

How is it cured?

Unfortunately, Rosacea has no cure. In fact, scientists are not even sure what exactly causes the problem. It is a lifelong chronic problem that needs lifelong management and control. When you say chronic, it means that the symptoms comes and goes depending on the type of exposure to the triggers and for how long.

What are the most common triggers?

The list of possible triggers may be long but these are all confirmed by people who have had Rosacea. One of the main triggers is hot weather, particularly a high temperature. This is why people with Rosacea do not venture out in the sun for too long. Sun exposure for a continuous and long period of time can lead to severe flare ups. Stress can also be a factor and so does spicy food, which like hot weather can raise up the temp. There are also foods that people with Rosacea should avoid. One of which is chocolate and other dairy products. Smoking and drinking alcoholic beverages is also a no no. Some veggies like eggplant and beans are included in the list and so are fruits like the plum and some citrus foods. Coffee and other products with caffeine can also trigger flare ups.

How is it transmitted and does it worsen with age?

There is still no conclusive reason why people get rosacea. It is not passed on to people by face to face contact. When left untreated, rosacea can worsen. Thus, it is important that you find out what your triggers are as early as possible.

How is it managed?

There are a lot of treatments available to people with rosacea. There are the medicines, which can either be topical or oral. Usually doctors will give topical medicines to see its effects. Oral medicines on the other hand are closely monitored because of its side effects. In fact, some oral medicines like for instance steroids are not  even taken continuously. Some medicines are also given in tandem with other forms of treatment like laser therapies, which are actually very effective in reducing incidence.

Preventing Rosacea The Natural Way

These days, more and more people are neglecting proper skin care due to busy schedule and this result to skin disorders such as Rosacea.

Rosacea causes are yet to be discovered until now. Because of its prevalence especially in women, Rosacea is considered as one of the most common skin orders in America with 1 among 20 Americans suffering from it.

Commonly characterized by flushing of the skin and the appearance of reddish or purplish discoloration on the skin, Rosacea has become a problem especially among women.

In fact, studies show that more and more women start to lose confidence because of the permanent enlargements of small blood vessels on their skin which also result to red and enlarged nose.

Natural means to prevent it

Because of its sporadic nature, Rosacea has become one of the skin disorders that are difficult to manage. However, experts say that prevention is the best cure to any disease that is why people who might be prone to this skin disease should develop good skin care habits as early as now.

Experts say that eating healthy foods is one of the major keys in combating skin disorder such as Rosacea which may be caused by toxicity that modern life brings. These days, with the growing numbers of people who suffer from different skin problems, people should be more vigilant in keeping up with a healthy lifestyle by eating healthy foods. This is very important not only to ensure good skin but also to maintain overall health.

Time and again, nutrition experts say that there are two major keys that lead to good skin—these include eating the right amount of food depending on the person’s need and lifestyle and eating a range of foods to ensure that the person gets balanced diet.

And since food and eating properly contribute so much to a healthy diet, people should focus more on considering the food their body needs especially on a diet. Experts remind that diet foods should contain the necessary vitamins and minerals that are quite essential for weight control and metabolism. These diet foods should include Vitamins B2, B3, B5, B6, Vitamin C, choline, inositol, chromium, manganese, and zinc. 

Studies show that the perfect foods that help people achieve healthy skin should include a wide range of fruits. Aside from being an all-natural product, fruits are low in calories, rich in dietary fiber that helps boosts satiety, and satisfies a person’s sweet tooth without worrying about weight gain.

Containing all the nutrients and vitamins it has, fruits are an ideal diet food for those who are into losing weight or weight reduction and those who are striving to maintain their weight. Other nutritional benefits of fruit include the prevention of vitamin deficiency, a rich source of dietary fiber and rich in foliate.

Just like fruits, vegetables are also considered perfect foods to avoid Rosacea and to those who are having problems in maintaining good skin care regimen. Aside from being a rich source of important vitamins and minerals such as vitamin B-complex micronutrients, vitamins C, E and K that combat vitamin deficiency, vegetables are also excellent sources of the protective plant micronutrient called “phytochemical.”

THE SEX OF COMPUTERS

A SPANISH Teacher was explaining to her class that in Spanish, unlike English, nouns are designated as either masculine or feminine.

'House' for instance, is feminine: 'la casa..

''Pencil,' however, is masculine: 'el lapiz.'

A student asked, 'What gender is 'computer'?' 

 
Instead of giving the answer, the teacher split the class into two groups, male and female, and asked them to decide for themselves whether computer' should be a masculine or a feminine noun. Each group was asked to give four reasons for its recommendation.


The men's group decided that 'computer' should definitely be of the feminine gender ('la computadora'), because:

1. No one but their creator understands their internal logic;

2. The native language they use to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else;

3. Even the smallest mistakes are stored in long term memory for possible later retrieval; and

4. As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it. 

(THIS GETS BETTER!)


The women's group, however, concluded that computers should be Masculine ('el computador'), because:

1. In order to do anything with them, you have to turn them on;

2. They have a lot of data but still can't think for themselves;

3. They are supposed to help you solve problems, but half the time they ARE the problem; and


4. As soon as you commit to one, you realize that if you had waited a little longer, you could have got a better model.

The women won.

Send this to all the smart women you know

...And all the men that have a sense of humour...
