Botox Is More Helpful Than Just Smoothing Wrinkles

  You are probably aware that people use Botox to smooth out wrinkles. Well, it turns out that’s there’s more to Botox than just injections for wrinkles. Here are a number of other things that Botox is good for:

1. It uncrosses eyes when it is used with bupivacaine. It actually doubles the straightening effect when compared to just using bupivacaine.

2.  Besides smoothing wrinkles, Botox increases the elasticity of the skin by 30% for up to four months after the treatment.

3.   Injections into the neck can dull the pain and symptoms caused by constant neck spasms for up to 12 weeks.

4. A few Botox injections can stop the feelings of having a full bladder for up to a year.

5.  It significantly reduces the number of migraine days a migraine victim experiences which improved the overall quality of the person’s life.

6. A single injection between the eyebrows resulted in significant and lasting relief from depression.

7. It reduced by 87% the amount of sweat from people who sweat excessively and it lasted for up to 12 month

8.  It prevented dangerous heart rhythms after people have had invasive heart surgery.

So…Botox has become more than just a look prettier tool in how it can help people with injections.

Measuring Your Waist May Not Be A Good Measure Of Your Health

 We’ve been told our waist measurement is important for determining if you are at risk of cardio metabolic disease. Well, it turns out that your waste size may not be the best way to go. A study with 1,206 people with higher-than-average neck size was published in the Journal of Diabetes Research and it reported that the neck is more accurate for determining the risk of everything from heart disease, prediabetes and hypertension than the waist. For a healthy neck size the researchers said anything under 14.2 inches for women and 16.5 inches for men. So…get the tape measure out to see what your risk is.

 How I Healed Bursitis In My Hips 

About a year or so ago, I started getting bursitis in my left hip and I got a cortisone injection in the hip which stopped the pain for around 6 months. I didn’t want to keep getting cortisone injections and my right hip started to develop bursitis, too. The pain would trigger from my sleeping on my sides and towards the morning the pain would wake me up. I went to my doctor and he said to just sleep on my back. That’s when I also found out that I had sleep apnea when I slept on my back but not on my side.

Since I wanted to stay away from cortisone, I decided to look for alternatives. My wife, Elizabeth, had a prescription for a cream from a compounding pharmacy that had pain relievers in the formula. By using a cream, this meant that the drugs were applied locally and were absorbed into the body where they were needed. I would put the cream on right before going to bed and I’d sleep on a heating pad set at the warm level. It all worked in stopping the bursitis pain, but I didn’t want to have to keep using the drugs in the cream, so I explored further and found another option.

Curcumin is a natural spice that stops inflammation. I decided to explore this option and found a product by Terry Naturally called Curamin that has both curcumin and boswellia in it. Boswellia also stops pain and inflammation. My pain diminished even further, but it was still there. So, I did some more research discovered information about a Class IV Laser that is extremely power for healing. A Class IV Laser penetrates 4 inches into the skin and reduces inflammation while also stimulating healing and tissue regeneration.

After 5 treatments which takes about 8 minutes for each side, I had no pain at all when I was sleeping and the pain has been completely gone about 4 months. So…explore your options when you get a diagnosis from your doc as there may be other alternative healing options out there for you.

 
  The Power Of Optimism And Having A Sense Of Purpose In Your Life

A recent study found that looking at personality traits and having a sense of purpose can have multiple health benefits. The researchers found that having a sense of purpose can reduce your odds of suffering a stroke. The study contained 450 elderly persons . They all had annual physical and psychological evaluations until their deaths.

The researchers looked at how they were rated for purpose of life on a five-point scale. For every one-point increase in their score, they had a 50% reduction in the odds of having a stroke that resulted in visible damage at autopsy.

Those who had a strong sense of purpose were 44% less likely to suffered major brain damage that increased the risk of dementia and disability. Basically the researchers found that having a purpose in life is protective against multiple adverse health outcomes in older age such as Alzheimer’s disease and clinical stroke.

So…if you are retiring or already have retired, you want to maintain a positive outlook and do things that still give you a sense of purpose.

 Headaches From Screen Time

Do you get headaches, blurred vision or dry eyes from looking at your screen for too long? If so, you are not alone. According to the American Optometric Association, 58% of Americans suffer from these ailments. What can you do? The AOA recommends the 20-20-20 rule. Every 20 minutes you’re in front of a screen, look at something 20 feet away for 20 seconds. So…oops, sorry, I need to look away for 20 seconds, but you keep reading.

The Benefits From Yoga Increase

While yoga is considered a low impact exercise, its list of benefits is growing longer. Traditional yoga includes meditation as a component of it. As an example of this meditation component of yoga, a study of 29 middle-aged and older-adults who had mild cognitive impairment were divided into two groups. One group did brain-training of mental exercises for one hour per week and they also practiced these exercises 15 minutes a day. The other group did Kundalini yoga for one hour per week and they were taught meditation. They also practiced the meditation 15 minutes each day at home.

After 12 weeks, the yoga group fared slightly better on a memory test by developing more communication between parts of the brain. Their moods were also improved.

1. Other studies have found that: 20 minutes of yoga improved brain function to a greater degree than 20 minutes of aerobic exercise.

2. Yoga improves mental health, ADHD and PTSD.

3.  It improves teenagers’ emotional resilience and the ability to manage anger.

I’ve been doing yoga daily now for 45 years. Yoga can have tremendous psychological benefits, so…start stretching!
