Dry Skin and the Secrets to Beating Old Man Winter |
|
|
|
|
Winter is here. That means cold, dry air and DRY SKIN. Our bodies have a more difficult time retaining moisture in cold weather... that's why the moisturizing lotion that worked so great in June is not doing its job in December.

It can be itchy, help accelerate wrinkling of the skin, and just make you feel self-conscious, especially when you can write your name on your forearm with your fingernail. But, alas, there are things you can do to restore a natural glow to your body's largest organ. To keep your skin supple and healthy, try these tips:

Calcium and the Vitamin D Connection |
|
|
|
|
For decades the true health benefits of vitamin D was a mystery. Today, research is shining a bright light on the healing effects of vitamin D especially in combination with calcium.
Vitamin D Production
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that is stored in adipose (fat) tissue located in the subcutaneous layer of the skin. Vitamin D production is triggered by exposure to the sun. Minimal sun exposure is necessary to synthesize vitamin D, approximately ten to fifteen minutes per day, every couple of days.

What is Parry Romberg Syndrome? One Woman's Personal Journey |
|
|
|
Parry-Romberg Syndrome is a rare disorder characterized by slowly progressive wasting - atrophy of the soft tissues, fatty tissue, bone mass, and muscles of half of the face (Hemi-facial atrophy.) For each person this illness can affect them differently, some are worse off than others, and some haven't seen progression, or atrophy in years.
For me, Nichole Beavers, I have seen atrophy off and on for the past five years. From the age 10 to now, I have had teeth complications, and imperfections. It wasn't until about age 13, when my hair started falling out - doctors choked this up to teenage stress. A few months after my hair started falling out, pains in my face began. For a year, the pain stayed the same and came and gone every once and a while. When I turned 15 years old, I went through a dental procedure that didn't go well; I started losing weight, due to stress and not being able to eat, as much as normal. Within a four to six month period of time, I dropped almost a hundred pounds. When I lost the weight, me and my family, realized my face was sinking in on the right side, my face pain had gotten worse and the pains began coming more frequently.
