How Ceramide Prevents Skin Dryness, Irritation and Wrinkles

BulkActives

You see, it's fun being a blogger because you learn lots of new things as you research. Like this skin fat called ceramide. Did you know that enough of ceramides in your skin prevents skin dryness, irritation and wrinkles? Because clinical studies reveal that when ceramide levels in your skin fall, your skin begins to dry up and be easily damaged.

If I had known this in college I would have been saved from lots of skin irritations and problems. But there was no internet yet and Google hadn't been born. So what happened was I went to this medical doctor who prescribed a skin product with steroids, and the rest is (sad) history.

Anyway (sob), ceramide is naturally found in the outer layer of the skin and helps it retain moisture. And moisture helps protect our skin a lot. Ceramides are skin lipids (fats) that keep skin structure intact. In other words, they "glue" surface skin cells so they're closely knit. That results to smooth, velvety skin with small skin pores.

Without ceramides, surface skin becomes vulnerable to infections, germs, irritants, chemicals, the negative effects of sudden environmental changes, and easily affected by aging. That's bad news especially for sensitive skin. What's needed is replenishment of ceramides so that skin retains its natural protective moisture and skin pores are mended to prevent being compromised. Healthy skin pores prevent pimples and acnes.

Though ceramides are naturally existing in the skin and spinal marrow, they can also be derived from plants. Spinach, soy, rice and wheat are good examples of these sources. Coming from plants, they are called phytoceramides. They can replace displaced skin ceramides.

But where do we get phytoceramides or ceramide replenishment? For more on this, click here.

What Apple Stem Cell Does to You

Cutypaste

Stem cells sounded scary when it was first introduced in 1998. Then, stem cells were derived from human embryos grown in labs and applied in humans for anti-aging benefits. The procedure seemed risky, and anyway one web article said that few treatments of this nature are safe and effective.

And then came apple stem cells.

What could be harmful about apple, right? Everybody eats it, even babies, and it's what keeps doctors away so we won't have to consult them and pay a fee. So the coming of apple stem cells was welcome. But what is it, really? Is it effective? Can you just eat an apple a day and get apple stem cells a day, too?

It started in the 18th century when a certain kind of Swiss apple, called Uttwiler Spätlauber, was noted to degenerate very slowly when sliced, unlike other apples. Consequently, after studies, the apple's epigenetic factors and metabolites were found to promote the long life of human skin cells, too. So today, it's becoming a popular alternative treatment for skin care, complexion enhancement and anti-aging benefits.

It's safer, as well. It's easy to imagine how apple stem cells can pose no harm or dangerous side effects to humans regardless of whether it is applied topically or ingested as a health supplement. How can eating green apple be bad for you? And that's where this stem cell is derived. This Swiss green apple variety (mentioned above) provides the materials for making apple stem cells. It should be cheaper, then. 

But you can't just eat green apples to get apple stem cells in your body. It's an extract produced by some laboratory processes that gets the unique cells grown in a "liquid culture." And just one percent of it seems boost human stem cell production by 80 percent, according to this site. You know what this means? It may be possible to use this to repair body tissues and organs, not just skin. Or even regenerate degenerating ones.

I have tried apple stem cells and they were okay. I felt a bit stronger and some health issues I had were resolved. I didn't continue them after using a bottle for a month because the company that sold it transferred location and I have no one to connect me to it anymore. Anyway, it was safe and effective on me. Did it taste like green apple? Nope, it was in capsule form. This was some 3 years ago.

Some healthy food give off healthier benefits when in extract form. Like malunggay extracts or lemon grass extracts. They are produced using nano technology so that just a pinch of the thing produces amazing results. You don't need to eat a basketful of green apples to get its most powerful benefits. Just take a natural supplement with apple stem cell extract. It's like eating a ton of green apples.

One medical scientist I talked to told me that apple stem cells can possibly even re-form a defective body organ. If say, your kidneys are defective and degenerating, apple stem cells can possibly build them back to normal form again. The same with the liver or lungs. But this takes rigid and religious taking of the supplement. It requires discipline because it will go with a special kind of diet and other natural health supplements to complement the healing.

But it's worth a try. It's green apple anyway and I don't see how it can adversely affect anyone. And what if you do it with prayers--with genuine, believing prayers for miracles. The bible records some instances of healing using natural medicine, like how King Hezekiah was healed by God's Word and poultice of figs in the Book of Isaiah. Jesus used his saliva and mud to heal a blind man. Paul told Timothy to add a little wine to his water for his stomach troubles. 

So why not apple stem cell plus powerful prayers and belief in the supernatural healing by the Holy Spirit to re-construct a badly damaged body organ? Stem cell treatment is said to help cure a number of serious diseases and prolong life, not just improve the complexion and skin. I've even read how some experts say it can re-grow a body part, but that's probably stretching it too much. But, on second thought, why not? Especially if you couple it with faith in a healing Creator.

Anyway...

So, with apple stem cell mixing and enhancing your body cells, you can achieve a fresh and smooth glow on your skin and young radiant overall look.  And since it boosts cell health and production, even prolonging its lifespan, aging is controlled. And because it has to do with cell regeneration---and the organs and body are made up of cells---it can also boost the immune system. This much we can say.

At Last! A Cheap Remedy for AIDS, Cancer, Tumors, Diabetes, Stroke, Hepatitis and Other Deadly Illnesses!

Powerful Red Fruit!

Scientists say fruits with dark or bright colors are packed with powerful antioxidants. So one day, Dr. Made Budi, a biologist and lecturer at the Cendrawasih University accidentally discovered in 2000 the healing prowess of a red fruit on the island of Papua where it is called Kuansu. In Indonesia, it's called Buah Merah or red fruit.

Buah Merah belongs to the pandan family.

People in the communities of Timika and Wamena regularly ate this red fruit and were observed to free them of ailments. So Dr. Budi did a study on this red fruit called Buah Merah which was found to be rich in antioxidants, beta-carotene and omega 3 and 9 which all enhance the body’s resistance, strengthening the immune system.

Buah Merah has been noted to be effective in preventing AIDS, cancer, hepatitis, stroke, osteoporosis, and diabetes. It lowers your uric acid levels and improves brain health, helping prevent dementia and Alzheimer's. Because of its beta carotene, it improves eyesight. It can also improve fertility and effect good detoxification.

DOH's Remedy Against Aids

This reminds me of the remedy against AIDS by the Department of Health. They think distributing condoms for free especially in high schools is the answer. But this only legitimizes early sex outside marriage---it becomes okay as long as condoms are used.

But the best remedy, I think, is moral recovery by preaching the Word of God and distribution of Buah Merah---or a natural health supplement containing Buah Merah. It will protect people against AIDS, even those who might contract the disease even without doing sex. AIDS or HIV can be contracted through contaminated food, utensils or the like.

And not just aids. Buah Merah can help prevent contracting other deadly diseases.

What Makes White Sugar White and Why It's Bad for Your Health

Accordingly, sugar is really colorless in its pure, natural form. No need to whiten or bleach it. Some sugar makers get rid of molasses from sugar beet or sugar cane to take away the brown color, but this is supposedly done without chemicals. They say it's washed only with water and by centrifuging. This is further helped with carbon filters.

But I would rather believe Lisa Byrne in her book "Break the Sugar Habit." She says natural raw sugar is supposed to be packed with nutrients, complete with vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and fibers. But the problem comes when they refine it white. The nutrients are all stripped off (or washed off) and the process leaves only the sucrose.

The Nature of Sugar

So, sugar becomes a non-food. It just sweetens, period. If you tamper with natural food like that---and eat it---something bad is bound to happen. That's the law of nature. Here's what Byrne actually said about refined sugar according to a KitchenStewardship article:

Lisa Byrne explains it in her workbook Break the Sugar Habit: “Refined, white sugar acts more like a drug than a food in our system…but it started as a whole plant. The sugar cane and beet plant in nature come complete with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and phytochemicals like any other plant. And they have carbohydrates like any other plant in the form of [sucrose]. 

When sugar is refined they strip the sugar cane plant or beet plant of all its natural components, except the [sucrose]. Then [sucrose]is concentrated into what we know as table sugar.This means we take [sucrose] out of its natural balance found in plants…and that is an important part of understanding why it impacts our body so differently.

When [sucrose]is part of the whole food it acts like a food in your body, entering our system calmly, breaking down slowly and providing a range of nutrients in addition to energy.

When [sucrose]is isolated, sugar acts like a drug in your body. Too much refined sugar creates a cycle of intense highs and lows, keeping our blood sugar, hormones and neurotransmitters out of balance.

Can Anything be Deliciously Sweet without Sugar?

Definitely. In fact, I enjoy drinking a sweet chocolate drink, coffee, and fruit juices with ZERO sugar. My dear wife has been selling them. And they are deliciously sweetened just right. What's the sweetener? Stevia.

Stevia is a plant leaf that tastes sweet. If you worry about your blood sugar, ask your doctor about stevia. He'd likely approve it because it is NOT sugar. Only the nature of refined sugar can be bad for diabetes.

Another sweetener of the healthy beverages I enjoy is coco sugar. Now, what's the difference between coco sugar and refined table sugar?

Well, first off, no less than the Philippine Department of Agriculture supports the healthiness of coco sugar, or coconut palm sugar. Unlike refined table sugar that has zero nutrients, coco sugar has (according to the agriculture department) zinc, potassium, calcium, antioxidants, and polyphenols, among others. It has fiber called inulin responsible for coco sugar's lower glycemic index (slow glucose absorption). Table sugar has about 60 glucose index (GI) while coco sugar has only 35.

Now, this is not to say that you can eat all the coco sugar you want. Anything should be taken in moderation and in balance. And always ask your doctor about coco sugar if you are diabetic. But to me, if I am to sweeten my drink with a little sweetener, I'd prefer coco sugar (with nutrients) to refined sugar (zero nutrients) anytime.

Apple Stem Cell Health Benefits and Why You Need Them

We all know how advanced aging damages skin quality. But plant stem cells, especially from apples, were found to powerfully delay aging and its toll on the skin. This was discovered in many plant stem cell researches. 

Stem cells are plant cells extracted from plant stems. As simple as that. So they're all-natural. And they divide and renew themselves continually as long as they're alive. Imagine if your cells are like that.

Swiss Malus Domestica

Apple plant stem cell (malus domestica) grown and enhanced in Switzerland since the 18th century is most apt for stimulating aging human skin stem cell, lessening unsightly skin wrinkles. It prolongs or extends the life of skin cells so you get a more youthful and radiant look. 

When you age your skin cells' ability to divide slows down, unable to create enough new skin cells. So you get lots more of old or dying cells than new cells. These skin cells in your body must be replaced---and here is where the Swiss apple stem cells enter the picture. 

Adult plant stem cells have the ability to re-create new plants through its callus or the colorless mass of cells that collect together to repair broken plant tissues. Scientists discovered a way to apply plant stem cell or extract to human skin.

And they found that apple stem cell from Switzerland apples is most adequate for this task.

Before refrigerators and freezers were used, it was observed that apples had the ability to stay fresh for a long time compared to other fruits. Thus, scientists started getting interested in the anti-aging characteristics of apples until they found out about apple stem cells.

Eventually, they were able to put apple stem cells in skin creams, lotions and drinks and in supplements, too. And one amazing product that found itself in Philippine soil, called Veron Cell, possesses "Malus Domestica" or green apple stem cell, as one of its ingredients working together with other powerful natural food extracts.

Why Green Apples?

Green apples have extremely powerful health benefits, and you should not miss out on them. Just consider the following:

Aside from its rich dietary fiber content that helps make your digestive system healthy (and makes your body absorb nutrients easier so you won't age fast), green apples lessen the incidence of colon cancer. They also lessen high bad cholesterol and help reduce liver and digestive tract problems. Green apple's maleic and tartaric acids help prevent digestion issues.

Green apples are rich in powerful antioxidants flavonoid and polyphenol, preventing DNA damage. Moreover, they help cleanse your skin and keep your teeth and gums healthy. They are rich in Vitamins A, B, C and E. They also aid in purifying your blood.
