THE REAL WEALTH

Posts Tagged ‘Innovations’

Prevention, diagnosis and treatment of women’s health conditions have come a long way, baby. In honor of Women’s Health Awareness Month and National Women’s Health Week (May 8-14), the popular health and wellness website EverydayHealth.com, is working with the HHS Office on Women’s Health and daVinci Surgery to present “Women’s Works: Tools for a Healthier You.” Free educational programs are taking place at over 250 hospitals nationwide throughout the month of May. Each will shine a light on the advances and innovations in some of the top conditions that affect women. Events are made possible through support by daVinci Surgery.

Women are the family health managers, and they often put themselves last. “Fear prevents a lot of women from making the necessary appointments for medical tests to stay healthy,” explained Jenny Sucov, editor, EverydayHealth.com. “We wanted to focus on five major conditions affecting women’s health—from fibroids to breast cancer to osteoporosis—and dispel some old beliefs about what’s involved in certain procedures. Ultimately, we want to educate women and encourage them to take charge of their own health.”

Here’s a glimpse at some of the findings: Read the rest of this entry »

Wrinkles, dark spots, and overall aging skin are problems that people are forced to deal with as they age.  In order to deal with these problems, many people turn to surgery and other painful procedures as they desire that “quick” result.  However, what many people do not realize is that surgery is not the only “quick” solution to looking younger again.  This is only one a many, and really, is one that can be considered “old fashioned”, dangerous, and often unaffordable.

Science and innovation in the world today has resulted in many anti-aging solutions that are quick and pain-free.  One of these is the introduction of negative ion technology.  So what are negative ions?  When I mention the phrase “negative ions” people usually do not know what I am referring to.  To begin with, there are two types of ions: negative and positive.  Positive ions are those that are extremely bad for you skin and cause us all to age faster.  These are the result of the use of electronics such as cell phones and computers, the environment that we live in today, and also UV rays from the sun.  As a result of these positive ions, our skin begins to age and we get wrinkles and dark spots.  On the other hand, negative ions are those ions that are good for our body and our skin.  This is reason that babies have soft skin when they are born; they have not been exposed to excess positive ions and the surface of their skin is perfectly balanced with positive and negative ions.  In order to combat anti-aging, it has been proved that positive and negative ions must be perfectly balanced on the skin.  With this perfect balance, not only does the aging process slow but also wrinkles and dark spots begin to soften and even disappear.
