"Acne at 30? Something is wrong here ..." - many people think

In fact. Acne patients aged 30+ are common. And it doesn't depend on gender at all. Both young women and young men come with inflammatory skin disease. The spread of the problem is influenced by both internal and external factors: In women, the appearance of acne is associated with the presence of hormonal problems. Including during pregnancy, lactation, taking hormonal contraceptives. - Girls also have malfunctions in the work of the adrenal glands, ovaries, thyroid gland. Sometimes there are diseases of the gastrointestinal tract, which can lead to acne. - Men are more likely to come with this problem after taking medications and nutritional supplements (testosterone, anabolic steroids). - Another reason for the development of acne is a genetic predisposition. For example, increased work of the sebaceous glands or hormonal factors. - External factors that can provoke the development of acne include: constant stress and overwork, malnutrition and sleep, bad habits. Also, insufficient walks in the fresh air and even living in areas with polluted air lead to inflammatory skin diseases.

5. We do a facial massage with ice cubes in the morning immediately after waking up and in the evening before going to bed along the massage lines, from the center to the periphery, with smooth and light circular movements. 10 minutes is enough, no longer. Even if you have rosacea and in ordinary life face massage with ice cubes is contraindicated for you, then nothing terrible will happen for 2 times, do it calmly. 6. For the area around the eyelids, hydrogel pads (not patches!), which are usually stored in the refrigerator, are great, after massaging with ice cubes, put the hydrogel pads on the eyelids for 25-30 minutes. I draw your attention to the fact that if you are concerned about puffiness only under the eyes, you still need to massage your entire face with ice cubes.

Are you afraid of a visit to a krsmetologist? Let's dispel the main fears!

Fear number 1, because of which people do not go to the beautician: "I will stop being myself." Many of us have seen photos of "stars" that have changed a lot after cosmetic procedures or plastic surgery. Some famous people began to look exactly differently - not better, not younger, but just like a different person. It is quite understandable that the townsfolk who have seen such photos and dozens of similar ones think: “To the forest of these cosmetologists! Even though I’m already very much not twenty years old, but I still want to recognize myself in the mirror! In fact, most of these photos are not about cosmetology, but about plastic surgery. Now, throughout the civilized world, the trend for a natural appearance is gaining momentum. Ideally, after a visit to a beautician, it should not be clear at all that a person went through some kind of beauty manipulation!

Doctors have learned to diagnose Alzheimer's disease in the eyes.

Scientists at the Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles examined the eyes and brain tissue of 86 deceased people diagnosed with cognitive impairment. During the study, it was possible to find features that allow diagnosing Alzheimer's disease in the early stages - before the appearance of obvious symptoms. The retina was found to have excessive amounts of beta-amyloid 42, a protein that forms "plaques" that accumulate in the brains of people with Alzheimer's disease. Also in the samples were cells of the nervous system called microglia - they also appear in the development of dementia.

Building Healthy Habits

In order for a habit to be formed, we need to choose the habits we need at the particular moment. Set a comfortable bar for yourself to determine your daily steps. For example, you want to read every day, but now you don't read at all. In that case, start reading at least 10 pages a day. The bar should be a little higher than it is at the moment, but comfortable enough to keep you interested and motivated. You can get inspired by other people's results, but never compare yourself to anyone. Each has her or his own background, character traits, life circumstances, and other circumstances.

Scientists have created a drug with which you can eat sweets and not get fat.

It's called CRASS and prevents weight gain on a high-sugar diet. The creators of the drug claim that they managed to reduce the weight of experimental mice and keep it under control, as well as protect the body from problems with the liver and heart.

Scientists have found a means for almost instantaneous sobering.

An injection of the FGF21 hormone quickly removed alcohol from the body of experimental mice and they continued to drink. The hormone itself regulates glucose metabolism, but it has recently been found that it is also responsible for the process of sobering up. Researchers hope to be able to create a drug based on it to treat alcoholism and protect the liver.

Scientists have found an enzyme that can cause depression in women.

Chinese scientists compared the blood serum of 91 women with depression and 98 women without it. It turned out that the first group had almost half the level of estradiol, the main form of estrogen that the body uses in fertile years. Estradiol is formed in the ovaries, and then metabolized in the liver and enters the intestine. From there, it is partially absorbed back into the bloodstream to maintain circulating estrogen levels. The researchers tracked the activity of estradiol in the gut. It was almost completely destroyed by the microbiome of depressed women. Probably, the bacterial strain Klebsiella aerogenes TS2020 is responsible for the degradation of the hormone and the onset of symptoms of the disease. Scientists believe that bacteria that break down estradiol in the gut may be better targets for effective treatment of mental disorders.

Pet owners get less sleep.

Scientists studied data from a large-scale health analysis to understand how pets affect the quality of sleep of their owners.

American doctors cured infertility by lowering cholesterol levels.

Doctors from the Houston Methodist Hospital cured infertility in sterile mice by lowering their cholesterol levels. The results of the experiment may be useful for women with idiopathic infertility - a problem that arose for no clear reason. The scientists injected mice with a protein called serum opacity factor. It reduced cholesterol levels by 40% in three hours. After that, fertility returned to the mice, though only for a while. Now doctors want to conduct clinical trials to study lipid levels in women who are being treated for idiopathic infertility. In the United States, for example, this is one in five women who seek help because of problems with conception.

Never drink yesterday's tea

Tea connoisseurs and manufacturers recommend drinking this drink freshly brewed. And the point here is not only that this way the taste and aroma of tea is better manifested. If the drink is left for several hours in the open air, then under the influence of oxygen, bacteria and harmful compounds begin to form in it. On the surface of tea, they look like a dense dark film, from which a coating remains on the mug. These substances have the most destructive effect on the organs of the gastrointestinal tract, mainly the liver. Tea that has stood for a day is considered by the Japanese to be “worse than a snake bite,” and the Chinese compare it to poison.
