Look and Feel Younger

How to look younger

As much as we think its wonderful to have so many cosmetic treatments at our disposal today, we also appreciate that the real battle against ageing starts from within.   You can spend a fortune on the best cosmetic treatments around, but if you're negative, angry and mad at the world - no amount of botox will give you a new lease of life. 

And its not just your face, your hair and clothes can age you too.   Think about it - you may have a flawless complexion, but your clothes are dated and frumpy or perhaps your clothes are fab but your hair's grey?  Like it or not, right or wrong, your appearance plays a huge part in how old you look. 

So to ensure you look and feel younger from head to toe and inside out, this section is dedicated to putting that smile back on your face and the style back in your closet.

New research published online in the FASEB Journal shows that high levels of phosphates may add more "pop" to sodas and processed foods than once thought.  That's because researchers have found that the high levels of phosphates accelerate the signs of aging.  High phosphate levels may also increase the prevalence and severity of age-related complications, such as chronic kidney disease and cardiovascular calcification, and can also induce severe muscle and skin atrophy.

Researchers from Harvard School of Dental Medicine, U.S. and Nagasaki University Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, Japan established that processed food items and the so-called ‘sparkling drinks’ contain high levels of phosphate which could speed up ageing.

"Humans need a healthy diet and keeping the balance of phosphate may be important for a healthy life and longevity," said M. Shawkat Razzaque from the Department of Medicine, Infection and Immunity at the Harvard School of Dental Medicine.
