Victoria Beckham's Bunions

Submitted by Meg Wilson on February 3, 2010 - 09:38.


The Daily Mail
reports that Victoria Beckham, age 34, has been suffering with painful bunions on her feet for five years. Bunions are a bone deformity that is most often caused by wearing high-heeled shoes.

Bunions usually form at the base of the big toe joint. A bunionectomy is the name of the surgery involved where the toe joint is cut to re-align with the toe bone.

Beckham has been spotted wearing flat shoes recently. She is apparently considering having her feet operated on. She will need to keep her feet up for six weeks after the surgery and may be confined to a wheelchair for some time. She may not be able to wear high heels for up to six months.

Look Younger - Grow Your Telomeres

Submitted by Meg Wilson on January 20, 2010 - 11:22.

Scientists are discovering that longer telomeres will make you look younger. Telomeres are found around our chromosomes. People with longer telomeres are more successful at turning back the biological clock.

How to get longer telomeres? Key ways include eating well, not smoking, maintaining a good weight and exercising.

People with shorter telomeres age faster, are more likely to get cancer and heart disease.

The study found that people who had the lowest blood levels of omega-3 fatty acids experienced the most rapid rate of telomere shortening over five years.

"Omega-3 fatty acids were associated with less telomere shortening regardless of age, smoking status or the presence of type 2 diabetes."

...

"There’s growing evidence that omega-3s in fish have direct effects on aging and diseases of aging. Higher blood levels and supplement use have been linked to a slowing of age-related blood vessel stiffness, cognitive decline, and macular degeneration."

Key ways to boost your telomere length include;

- eat more salmon, sardines, rainbow trout, herring and other fish rich in omega-3 fatty acids.

- lose excess weight

- spend more time outside or take vitamin D

- be physically active (people who do 200 minutes of physical activity a week have been found to have telomeres the same length as people who are ten years younger but sedentary).

- Avoid processed meat (don't eat ham, hot dogs or lunch meats if you want longer telomere lengths).

Beauty Gift Favorite

Submitted by Adriana Rae on January 14, 2010 - 17:11.


Of all the Christmas presents I received this year (not that many) my favorite was a tube of body wash by Lancome. It's called Body Delisse and it's much better than showering with a bar of soap. It smells really divine. Not only do I smell it for hours after washing (like an expensive faint perfume) but my bathroom also retains the beautiful scent for what seems like the whole day.

For a tube with less than seven ounces, it's pricey, at about $28. It's probably not something i would buy for myself, but it makes a really great present. Other beauty products like makeup or perfume, don't usually work well because every woman has such unique tastes. But expensive, high-quality body washes seem like a really nice general gift. The thoughtful person who gave it to me was my sister's mother-in-law. It's a good idea for me to give for future Christmas presents, or if my own mom was still alive, I'd want to give it to her for Valentine's.
