Fuel

Until the early twentieth century it was thought that the ideal fuel for muscle proteins were, it was necessary to provide in the form of meat.

Antimicrobial function: to reduce the number of microorganisms that proliferate and fill the follicle acne. Are primarily used the following components:

• benzoyl peroxide at moderate doses
• triclosan
• azelaic acid, a moderate concentration
• Ethyl lactate
• moderate exposure, and only occasionally in the sun because the rays are antimicrobial.

But WARNING: prolonged or repeated for hours on successive days is the risk that the skin surface fattening because to accumulate keratin, and they block the sebaceous follicles and aggravate the acne process.
Comment

The components listed above can be identified in Dermopharmacy products and the pharmaceutical products. In recent years, the most used products often incorporate benzoyl peroxide or azelaic acid, because they develop corrective functions simultaneously, but not all patients react positively to DIFERENES TYPES OF TREATMENT OF ACNE.

Counseling

If despite treatment, the acne situation does not yield, but intensified in an obvious way, is essential to visit a dermatologist. Only these professionals can prescribe medications that will allow for a more aggressive querolíticos treatment with anti-inflammatories, antibiotics or hormones, the choice of which requires a good diagnosis and monitoring that allows to monitor possible adverse effects.

Multicausality in acne and the role that hormonal changes during puberty, become difficult any attempt to choose the therapeutic dermatologist because whatever it is, the improvement was observed over time. It sometimes happens that when you start antiacneicos treatment, initially the patient feels that their skin disease worsened, so this situation must be perceived by the treating professional to prevent dropout of the patient, especially when it comes to a teenager. The products are applied to these cures must develop at least three functions:

1. Desescamante function: similar to having a “peeling” moderate (function also called “keratolytic” moderate), through which the channel through which would have to move the fat produced by the gland is free of obstruction and has exit. This activity causes mild skin irritation. This observation is very important, as has been shown that most of the products used to treat acne, have a salutary effect and produce a skin irritant action, practitioners who prescribe should warn their patients about the effects undesirable side. The most effective components, regardless of the treatment that your dermatologist can prescribe are as follows:

• sulfur and / or salicylic acid
• azelaic acid at moderate concentrations
• benzoyl peroxide at moderate concentrations
• glycolic acid at moderate concentrations
• exfoliating microbeads as part of cleaning fluids

2. Anti-seborrheic Function: also called sebum-regulating or sebostatic, with which it seeks to reduce excessive sebum secretion that characterizes youthful skin acne ices. There are several components moderately effective, among which are:

• sulfur (now less used than before)
• azelaic acid
• zinc sulfate or acetate
• Extract Arctium majus or Nasturtium officinalis
• benzoyl peroxide at moderate doses
• porous microparticles capable of absorbing more fluid fat, thus reducing the brightness of the skin

Acne treatment is complex because the causes that arise may be multiple, ie, that the etiology is multi-factorial.

But despite the complexities of the subject of acne, whatever the factor is produced or affected skin area, we must take account of the meeting a “gold standard” for treatment of acne chosen to succeed .

1) Hygiene measures:

• Do not manipulate the skin to try to extract “the pimple”: The pressure exerted with the thumb and forefinger of one hand, or worse using fingers of both hands to do more strength, can cause damage to the follicle sebaceous, which contains germs and can spread the infection causing dermatitis in neighboring areas. So, you do not miss the appearance of small blisters filled with pus (pustules), which are to be feared, because irreversible scarring. Sanitized twice daily to the affected skin of the face, torso, and some affected area. Usually indicates water and soap (preferably one with action Anti-seborrheic dermatological product) and then dry completely once cleared the area.

2) Dietary Change: Reducing foods that tend to cause skin reactions in young people. Foods that should be banned are the chocolate and strawberries, but it should be noted that as previously stated, the food is only one factor that interacts with others. Read the rest of this entry »

The B-Complex vitamin is not a single vitamin, but rather is a complex of eight different water soluble vitamins that combine together to play a large role in your overall health and well being. Each of these eight water soluble vitamins plays its own unique role in your health and wellness, and each individual vitamin can be found in different whole food sources and synthesized through different means as well.

This combination of different B vitamins plays an important role in the metabolism of cells. While these vitamins may coexist in many of the same foods, they are chemically distinct vitamins that can be found separately in many whole food sources as well. When all eight vitamins are combined together, this is referred to as the Vitamin B complex. The Vitamin B complex is always the combination between all eight water soluble vitamins in their correct dosages. Because these vitamins are water soluble, it means that they must be taken regularly because the unused vitamins are flushed out of the body via urination rather than stored in the liver like fat soluble vitamins.

The eight vitamins that when combined make up the B-Complex vitamin are Thiamine, Riboflavin, Niacin, Pantothenic Acid, Pyridoxine, Biotin or Vitamin H, Folic Acid or Vitamin M and Cobalamin. Not getting enough of these vitamins in your diet can result in a number of deficiencies. The B-Complex vitamin supplement is designed to deliver the right vitamins in the right dosages to prevent these deficiencies from occurring. Thiamine deficiency causes emotional disturbances, weight loss, encephalopathy, irregular heart beat and heart failure. Riboflavin deficiency causes ariboflavinosis which has a number of symptoms including high sensitivity to light and seborrhea dermatitis or pseudo-syphilis. Niacin deficiency can cause pellagra, with symptoms including dermatitis, insomnia and mental confusion.

A Pantothenic acid deficiency can result in acne and a disease called paresthesia, but both of these conditions are rare. Anemia, depression, high blood pressure and dermatitis can all result from a pyridoxine deficiency. Macrocytic anemia is the most common result of a folic acid deficiency, and birth defects are common in pregnant women who do not get enough of this vital vitamin supplement. Finally, a Cobalamin deficiency is also responsible for Macrocytic anemia along with a number of problems related to the brain, such as memory loss, peripheral neuropathy and other cognitive deficits.

Because a deficiency in each of these vitamins can cause a myriad of different health issues, it is vital that your body receives enough of each of these vitamins. The B-Complex vitamin concept allows for supplementation of all eight vitamins simultaneously, as multiple deficiencies can overload the body with a number of illnesses and ailments. The B-Complex vitamin is a powerhouse of a vitamin combination as all of these separate vitamins work hand in hand to deliver powerful health benefits to the body. These health benefits provided by the B-complex vitamin include support of the metabolism and increase in the rate of metabolism, maintenance of healthy muscle tone and skin and enhancing the function of the nervous system and the immune system.

The B-Complex vitamin also promotes the growth and division of cells, including the red blood cells that are responsible for preventing anemia. B-Complex vitamins also have shown to significantly reduce the risks associated with pancreatic cancer, which is surprisingly one of the most deadly forms of cancer out there. This only applies to B-complex vitamins when consumed in whole food sources, however, rather than when ingested as a synthesized vitamin supplement.

B-Complex vitamins can be found in many whole food sources, and are also available in synthesized forms as tablets or liquid vitamin supplements. Whole food sources for B-complex vitamins include potatoes, lentils, bananas, chili peppers, tempeh, liver, liver oil, tuna, turkey, brewer’s yeast, nutritional yeast and molasses. Vegemite and Marmite are popular sources for all of the B-complex vitamins, and beer is also a moderately useful source for this vitamin complex because of the high content of brewer’s yeast found in most beers.
