Natural Anti Aging

LED and Green Tea for Wrinkles

The latest natural anti aging skin treatment research for getting rid of wrinkles has been done by German researchers using a lotion made of green tea extract and high intensity light exposure (also known as LEDs), something they believe could replace cosmetic surgery procedures such as Botox.

Their research found that wrinkles were found to be reduced when Andrei P. Sommer and Dan Zhu when they placed a potent antioxidant called epigallocatechin gallate – derived from green tea extract and exposed the skin to intense LED light.  The exposure to LED light activates the manufacture of increased levels of reactive oxygen species known to damage cells.  This was done on a daily basis for several months.  The result was that facial wrinkles decreased when exposed to the high intensity light-emitting diodes (LEDs).

Before receiving the LED anti aging skin treatment, the test subject had a lotion made of green tea extract smoothed on the face for 20 minutes.  It was found that this produced results 10 times more quickly than just receiving the LED light by itself.  The results show the skin showed “less pronounced wrinkle levels, shorter wrinkle valleys and a juvenile complexion.”  This sounds very promising and something most people would rather have than invasive cosmetic procedures such as Botox, etc.

The researcher Mr. Sommer said, “There is a flood of LED devices in the market.  A few operate in the range found by us to be effective.” He also said they used a device that was professionally designed for wound healing and pain alleviation by military personnel.

It is already known that green tea extract and LED treatments are regularly used as anti aging skin treatments, however, one of the problems with LED treatments is the inconvenience of having to go to an anti aging clinic or doctor’s office everyday.  To make things easier and more practical for patients, they should buy at home-use LED device.

Cinnamon - Natural Anti Aging Supplement

One of the simplest natural anti-aging supplements I’ve heard of recently is one of the cheapest and you’ve probably already got some sitting in your kitchen cupboard right now.  You may be very surprised to hear about this, but cinnamon is very good for you and your health for many reasons.

Research has found that cinnamon has numerous health benefits in that it can decrease cholesterol, triglycerides and glucose levels.  It is also being investigated as a treatment for diabetes – one of the deadliest diseases that attack many people both young and old these days.  Cinnamon has been found to improve the metabolism of sugar in the fat cells by 20 per cent in a U.S. study.  It normalizes sugar levels in the blood and we all need that kind of help.

There are two types of cinnamon, verum and aromaticum or cassia.  Verum is the real cinnamon.  Aromaticum can actually not be good for you if you consume it in large quantities.  How much cinnamon should you consume in a day?  You should only have  about one gram per day for you to experience its benefits.  Throw some cinnamon in your coffee, bake some in some bread or an apple or fruit crumble and it will help you immensely in normalizing your blood sugar, cholesterol and triglycerides.  For these reasons, we call it a natural anti-aging supplement.

Cinnamon can also be bought as an supplement in your local health store, but if you can get it in its original form as a spice at a cheaper price, why wouldn’t you use this natural anti aging supplement?  It comes with immense health benefits.
