Bra Detects Cancers

The Smart Bra relies upon the science of thermography, which in this context is the detection of minor temperature changes that occur to the breast tissue. As tumors begin to grow, they demand a higher blood flow to develop. This increased blood flow will result in an elevated temperature, signifying the initial stages of cancerous growth. The Smart Bra will be made from materials that are sensitive to passive microwaves, similar to those used in remote sensing technologies, to detect the thermal alterations. The cancer-preventing bra will be worn instead of a "normal" undergarment, and will incorporate a discrete alarm feature to alert the wearer to seek medical attention if necessary.

Wrinkle Away With Oranges


An orange a day may keep the wrinkles away.

In one of the first studies to examine the impact of nutrients from foods rather than supplements on skin aging, researchers reported that people who ate plenty of vitamin C–rich foods had fewer wrinkles than people whose diets contained little of the vitamin.

Diets rich in the omega–6 fatty acid linoleic acid were also associated with less skin aging from dryness and thinning, while higher–fat diets and those higher in carbohydrates were associated with more wrinkling.

Sunflower and safflower oils and many nuts are high in linoleic acid. Byproducts of linoleic acid are plentiful in salmon and other fatty fish.

The findings are far from conclusive, but they do suggest that when it comes to skin aging, you truly are what you eat.

Less Invasive Breast Lift

Internal Breast Lift Procedure by Israeli plastic surgeon Eyal Gur said he expects approval next year for his revolutionary breast-lift procedure (“an internal bra”) in which an actual thin titanium bra-like frame is implanted just under the skin with silicone cups to hold the breasts up. Dr. Gur said the procedure will be quicker (40 minutes long), less invasive (local anesthesia only) and less expensive (no hospital stay) than today’s breast lifts.

Men Choose To Wax


Men are choosing to wax and tweese. It can change the look of the face immediately. It opens up the eyelids and separarates the eyes. It creates the right impression and it is important to properly pluck and wax and trim unruly brows. Men should keep their brows as natural as possible and not to thin out the brow. Eyebrow waxing is inexpensive and it worth the price.

Computers Become Our Mirrors


We will be looking to our computers rather than a mirror in the near future to create a virtual makeover.
Toshiba recently showcased a new way to make up for a party or that special date using a notebook. SpursEngine a high performance video stream processor takes real time vido/image and renders to new levels of realism and image quality.A prototype unveiled at the CEATEC (Combined Exhibition of Advanced Technology) 2007 in Tokyo, which this correspondent visited, attracted sizable crowds. They witnessed an attractive Japanese model standing in front of a notebook, trying out numerous hairstyles, shades of mascara and lipstick without ever opening her make-up kit.Tracking her face in real-time, the laptop threw up various ways that she could present herself for the day, instantly recognising and processing changes in the model’s facial position, angle and expression and showing the results as 3D graphics. Satisfied with one of the ‘options,’ the model then picked her ‘look of the day’ and proceeded, presumably, to a mirror. Also in the reckoning are real-time body capture and face morphing targeting the lifestyle sector. It may also be of use in the medical sector and in security-sensitive environments.

New Concern Over Lead In Lipsticks



With concern over the lead in toy recalls from China. The FDA is now looking into cosmetics coming from China with worries about levels of lead in lipstick.
The Campaign for Safe Cosmetics sent more than 30 different lipsticks to a lab for testing and 20 of them contained lead.

"We want the companies to immediately re-formulate their products to get the lead out," said Stacy Malkan, a representative from the group. "We need to change the laws and force these companies to be accountable to women's health.""We want the companies to immediately re-formulate their products to get the lead out," said Stacy Malkan, a representative from the group. "We need to change the laws and force these companies to be accountable to women's health."

Others in the cosmetic industry believe the report to be invalid.

"I think the levels are actually quite low [and] really not something that would present a cause for concern," said John Bailey of the Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association.

The Food and Drug Administration said Friday it would look into the claims.

Slimmer Pill "Alli " Is Selling Fast Off The Shelves

Alli Is selling off the selves regardless of it's side-effects of bloating gas and leakage. It works by blocking lipase, which breaks down fats in the gut, preventing your body from absorbing about a third of the fat you eat and because you can't absorb undigested fats, they pass straight through your body.

A low-fat diet is recommended to 15g and keep your exercise up because physical activity aids in the weight loss.

To counter this, the manufacturer recommends a low-fat diet and limiting fat intake in meals to an average of 15g. It also stresses that taking Alli requires "hard work", "commitment" and "dedication" and is "not a quick fix". The official website cautions: "If you aren't committed to limiting your fat intake and calories as part of the programme, then you shouldn't buy Alli," and advises plenty of physical activity too.

But if you have to limit fat in your diet to take Alli and exercise, why take the pill at all? Critics suggest that the changes recommended by GlaxoSmithKlein are what you're supposed to do on a diet anyway. They also question how well the drug actually works. Despite the marketing hype surrounding the launch of Alli, it isn't actually a new drug. It is a lower-dose version of a prescription-only drug called Xenical. The active ingredient in both of these drugs is orlistat; Alli contains 60mg while Xenical contains 120mg. "It's a drug that has a modest effect in the short term, but it has limited benefit in the long term," says Dr Lee Kaplan, director of the Weight Centre at Massachusetts General Hospital, Boston. "If you want to lose a few pounds then it's perfectly fine, but you're not going to cure obesity with orlistat."

Indeed, research found that people who took the 120mg dose of orlistat for a year lost between two and five kilograms more than people who took a dummy treatment. And while the weight might drop off quite quickly in the beginning, the drug doesn't work for everyone and some will lose more weight than others. Research has also shown that people tend to put the weight back on when they come off the drug. This has led critics to speculate that it is the makers' intention for people to take Alli long-term - though there is little evidence about how well the drug works in reducing weight for periods of longer than 12 months.



Although it's not clear from the official website how long the drug should be taken for, Alli users get an online personalized support program and action plan to help ensure appropriate use. A company spokesperson explains: "Although most weight loss occurs within the first six months of using Alli, clinical studies with Orlistat at the prescription dose have shown it to be safe and effective for up to four years of continuous use. The OTC [over-the counter] dose has been clinically tested for up to one year."

Cell Phones Will Soon Tell You What To Eat



You will soon be able to send a photo of your lunch plate to a computer and it will judge the calories on the page and send it back to you.
This project will work for subscriber to online sites such as myfoodphone.com
which monitors eating habits by analyzing and critiquing meals via photos sent in by users.
Boushey and her colleagues are embarking on a project funded by the National Institutes of Health to fix this by deleting the "human monitors" from the equation.

Beauty And The Ages


The ancient Greeks portrayed the ideal rather than the real. Plato, based on Socrates' teachings, determined that for every 'being' - every rock, every flower and every human - there is the 'perfect' archetype somewhere in another realm - an ideal without the fatal flaws inherent in the earthly subject. According to his philosophy you are but a mirror image - a mere reflection of your true perfection. And life is but a striving to get back to your pure nature; your pure beauty, which never falters and never fails you. http://www.visavismag.com/content/view/19/75/

24 Carat Facial


Throughout history, gold has been recognized for its luxurious and beautifying properties. Cleopatra used pure gold as a tool to maintain youthful skin and reportedly slept in a gold mask every night. In ancient Rome, gold salves were used for the treatment of a variety of skin problems. In ancient Chinese medicine gold was a key to youth, as the queen of the Ch’ing dynasty used a gold massage roller on her face everyday.

What makes the gold facial work?
A remarkably potent hydrating compound, Gamma PGA is a major breakthrough in the science of skincare. Originally discovered in marine jellyfish, it is derived from Natto, a Japanese soybean-based health food item that is over one thousand years old. Gamma PGA hydrates and prepares the skin and helps gold penetrate when used in combination.

Lather on the 24-carat
Combine anti-aging ingredients, hyaluronics, argirelene®, and green tea extract with 24-carat gold flakes, the potion is Swedish Serum Gold™ Anti Wrinkle Eye & Lip Firming Serum ($80, biomagneticnorth.com ), an anti-aging secret that moisturizes and tones without drying skin.
