Young Clear Skin For Lifetime Beauty
The beauty of young clear skin has been the subject of art, prose and poetry. It has also been the subject of a great deal of scientific study. The questions that they have looked at include these.
Why do some people have beautiful, blemish-free complexions, while others have acne, eczema and other unwanted conditions? Why do some people have numerous wrinkles, while others have few or none? It was once a confusing subject, but it is starting to become easier to understand.
The skin’s health and appearance is affected by what we eat, our environment and the cosmetics that we use. The affects can be either positive or negative. If we make efforts to stick with the positives and avoid the negatives, we can be the people with beautiful, healthy, blemish-free complexions that continue to look youthful, as time goes by.
What to Eat
The healthiest diet is rich in fruits, vegetables, fish, soy and whole grains. That kind of diet is now being recommended for good health and for young clear skin. Your goal is to improve your intake of antioxidants, which are provided primarily by fruits and vegetables. Wild Alaskan pink salmon contains a unique antioxidant called Astaxanthin, which has been the subject of numerous anti-aging studies. Green tea is a good beverage selection. The antioxidants that it contains have been shown to help protect against sun damage. It could help you lose weight, too.
What Not To Eat
Simple carbohydrates, which include white potatoes, sugar, white flour and junk food, contribute to acne and wrinkles. When we eat them, the body produces different hormones and molecules that cause inflammation and cellular aging. Limit simple carbs or cut them out completely. You’ll feel and look better, too.
Environmental Issues
The biggest enemy of young clear skin is the sun. Pollution from cigarette smoke and car exhausts does damage, too. Don’t rely solely on sunscreens. Most are not that effective. Instead, take advantage of the shade and use clothing to provide protection. Avoid cigarette smoke and air pollution whenever possible.
Which Cosmetics to Avoid
Petrolatum, mineral oil and paraffin are some of the most common ingredients in cosmetics, of all kinds. Avoid those ingredients and you will have fewer blemishes, guaranteed. Cleansers containing harsh ingredients or a petrochemical called ethylene oxide will do molecular damage that can lead to wrinkling or skin cancer.
Which Skincare Products to Look For
Mother Nature provided everything that we needed for young clear skin, but with the mass production of cheap synthetic ingredients, we forgot about nature’s bounty. Luckily, there are some manufacturers that are returning to the natural ingredients that are good for our skin’s health and appearance.
Look for gentle cleansers made from naturally mild ingredients. Use creams and lotions that contain natural oils derived from grape seeds, avocados, jojoba and other plants. To reduce or prevent the signs of age, look for creams that contain antioxidants, like coenzyme Q10 and vitamin E.
There are other “secret” ingredients for young clear skin. You might want to take the time to discover more about them.

Vulnerable Plaque in Heart Disease
Swelling (inflammation) is the body’s natural reaction to an injury. Inflammation can happen anywhere on the skin, within the body, and even inside the arteries. Scientists are now learning inflammation may play a part in many of the diseases that come with aging, including coronary artery disease.
For many years, doctors have thought that the main cause of a heart attack or stroke or was the buildup of fatty plaque within an artery, leading to the heart or brain. In time, the plaque buildup would narrow the artery so much, that the artery would close off or become clogged by a blood clot. The lack of oxygen-rich blood to the heart would then lead to a heart attack. However these types of blockages cause only about 3 out of 10 heart attacks.
Researchers are finding people who that heart attacks do not have arteries severely narrowed by plaque! Vulnerable plaque may be buried inside the artery wall, and not bulge out and block the blood flow through the artery. This is why researchers began to look at how inflammation affects the arteries, and to see if inflammation could lead to a heart attack.
What they found was that inflammation leads to the development of “soft” or vulnerable plaque. They also found that vulnerable plaque was more than just debris, clogging an artery, that it was filled with different cell types that help with blood clotting.
When this inflammation is combined with other stresses, like high blood pressure, it can cause the thin covering over the plaque to crack and bleed, spilling the entire contents of the vulnerable plaque into the bloodstream. The sticky cytokines on the artery wall capture blood cells (mainly platelets) that rush to the site of injury. When these cells clump together, they can form a clot large enough to block the artery
