Kate Moss Goes Bronze



British sculptor Marc Quinn is ready to unveil his latest creation to the world, a nearly $2.8 million, 110-pound solid gold statue of the supermodel, hyped as the largest such creation built since ancient Egypt.

Quinn, the artist behind 2006's Sphinx, a painted bronze statue of Moss in a somewhat provocative yoga pose, has dubbed his new golden girl Siren.

And the British Museum has already heeded its call.

Good News-Chocolate


Chocolate lovers, take heart. Reports from recent studies have given you plenty of reasons to keep on eating chocolate without feeling guilty. In fact, the news from several studies released this spring shows that chocolate is quite effective against the number one killer of Americans, heart disease. Another serious threat to our health, environmental pollution, was significantly reduced by eating chocolate. And the news is even better for females.

Studies and results

Epidemiologic investigations have supported the hypothesis that regular consumption of flavonoid-containing foods reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. While flavonoids are found in many plants, cocoa is particularly rich in a subclass of flavonoids known as flavanols. Several dietary intervention trials with flavanol containing cocoa products have shown improvements in endothelial and platelet function, as well as blood pressure. These studies have provided direct evidence of the benefits of flavanol containing foods and have helped to substantiate the epidemiological data.

Slow Aging Down With Jogging


Regular running slows the effects of aging, according to a new study from Stanford University School of Medicine that has tracked 500 older runners for more than 20 years. Elderly runners have fewer disabilities, a longer span of active life and are half as likely as aging non-runners to die early deaths, the research found.


"The study has a very pro-exercise message," said James Fries, MD, an emeritus professor of medicine at the medical school and the study's senior author. "If you had to pick one thing to make people healthier as they age, it would be aerobic exercise." The new findings will appear in the Aug. 11 issue of the journal Archives of Internal Medicine.

Many Uses For Injectables


1. Restylane for droopy pierced-ear holes. Miami dermatologist Leslie Baumann, MD is the author of the Yahoo Health blog The Skin Guru, where she says “Restylane can be injected below your piercing hole to plump the earlobes and help support your earrings.”

2. Radiesse for non-surgical nose job has been around for a while. Alexander Rivkin, a facial plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, California has been offering injection rhinoplasty since 2004, catching the attention of the Today show.

3. Sculptra injections for that annoying stiletto heel pain: Miami cosmetic physician and podiatrist (also official foot doc of the Miami Heat) Dr. Cynthia Marzouka-Losito uses Sculptra to create “a pillow-like cushion on the ball of the foot” to fill atrophied areas of the sole of the foot.

4. Silikon 1000 was made originally for the eyeball: Twin Cities dermatologist Patrick Carney, MD prefers it for lip augmentation.

5. Botox for chronic low back pain: Botox Therapeutic is being studied in Washington DC by two Army physicians for the treatment of low back pain – but only for injuries impacting the back muscles.

Exercise In A Pill


That's how researchers are describing two drugs that apparently mimic the effects of physical exercise on the body, raising prospects of new treatments against diseases, new ways to cheat at sports, and new rationalizations for couch potatoes to stuff themselves at brunch.

In a series of startling experiments in mice, the drugs improved the ability of cells to burn fat and retain muscle mass, and they substantially prolonged endurance during exercise. Using one of the compounds for just a month, even sedentary, couch-potato mice improved their endurance running by a staggering 44%. Some mice that combined a month of exercise with the other drug bolstered their long-distance running by about 70% over untreated mice.

One of the drugs is already in late-stage human trials for other purposes, and the mouse experiments raise hopes for new strategies to protect people against obesity, diabetes and muscle-wasting diseases such as muscular dystrophy.

But underscoring the risks, one of the compounds has been withdrawn from human trials because of toxic side effects, and researchers said that the drugs could easily be abused by competitive athletes to enhance their performance. Researchers have already devised a test to detect them in blood and urine.

Coffeeberry Anti aging Properties


A list of ingredients that have a positive impact on the youthfulness of the skin has also emerged, and one of the latest to achieve significant recognition is a by-product of the Coffea arabica plant, or coffee bush.

CoffeeBerry is an extract of the fruit of the coffee bush, a bright red cherry that contains the coffee bean. Until recently, growers threw the fruit away after harvesting the bean because it decayed too quickly to process.

As with many plants, the nutritional benefits are distributed throughout the bean and fruit. In the case of CoffeeBerry, this includes a high concentration of incredibly powerful antioxidants called polyphenols. These help to prevent damage caused by free radicals and oxidative stress, the primary causes of skin ageing.

“CoffeeBerry is loaded with polyphenols,” explains Dr Leslie Baumann, a skin expert, dermatologist, and chief of the Division of Cosmetic Dermatology at the University of Miami School of Medicine.

“Polyphenols are an important part of the human diet, and they are a key ingredient in a wide range of fruits, vegetables, grains, green and black tea, and coffee beans,” Dr Baumann says. “Research during the last several years has shown the potential benefits of these compounds.”
CoffeeBerry® extract is a new, powerful antioxidant that uses the whole fruit of the coffee plant. It may turn out to be the most potent of natural antioxidants, better than white tea, blueberries, and pomegranates. It is currently available in a limited number of skin care products, but look for many more in the future.

Ugly $500 Dollar Shoes


Some trends slip down easily with the masses: tunic dresses, oversize sunglasses, giant It bags. And then there are trends that only appeal to those who wear fashion goggles, those amazing glasses that make the implausible look desirable—magically morphing, say, dresses with stiffened, puffed shoulders from an alien's version of eighties shoulder pads into a gorgeous mix of modernism and retro referencing. Ugly shoes fall squarely into this latter category. Shoes that look like Transformers, shoes with teapots for heels, shoes with no apparent heels, and the ugliest (and currently most fashionable) of them all: gladiator sandals—fabulously casual to the fashion-goggle wearer, orthopedic and/or geriatric to everyone else.


Although there is something perverse in spending $500 (OK, closer to $1,000) on shoes that are, well, ugly, there's a delightfully honest quality about the trend. A conventionally attractive choice—say, quasi-invisible strappy stilettos—might make the wearer look sexier in an "Oh, yes, I naturally glide through the air like Tinker Bell" sort of way, but if I spend half the month's rent on a pair of shoes, I want people to notice them. OK, maybe this "noticing" comes in the form of them asking, "Why are you wearing my Great-Aunt Gerta's sandals with your jeans?," but at least attention has been paid. shop for designer jeans and makeup at http://www.venusandmarz.com

Breast Damage With Bra Type


Ladies, listen up.

If you’re not wearing the right type of bra, you could be damaging your breasts without even realizing it.

Researchers from the University of Portsmouth in Hampshire, England found that wearing the wrong “support system” could lead to fragile ligaments in the breasts becoming irreparably stretched, the Daily Mail reported.

They found up to 95 percent of women are at risk — mostly because they are ignorant or embarrassed about their true bra size, according to the report.

Researched concluded this after they gave 100 women a treadmill test.

During the past three years, the team studied about 50 bra designs. What they found was that with most bras women’s breasts move up and down, in and out and from side to side, shifting an average of 8.26 inches, during exercise.

Technique Cloning Remaining Hair - Baldness

Millions of men and women who suffer from premature baldness or hair loss could soon be able to regain their original lustrous locks — by cloning their remaining hair in the laboratory, research suggests.

The new technique, known as “follicular cell implantation," has already shown positive results in continuing clinical trials on human beings. The work, being carried out by a British team, is being hailed as a major advance in hair restoration and is backed by a $3.7 million government grant.

The cell therapy has the potential to provide a limitless supply of an individual’s hair to replace that lost because of burns, cancer treatment or simply the onset of age, and could be available to patients within five years.

The latest results of the Phase II trial, presented at a conference of leading hair replacement surgeons in Rome, suggest that the technique can increase hair count in at least two-thirds of patients after six months, and four out of five if the scalp is stimulated beforehand through gentle abrasions that encourage hair growth.

Lips And The Sun


Go easy on the gloss! When you slather on shimmery, shiny lip gloss and balms, you attract more of the sun's light to your lips, increasing the risk of sun damage. No need to go nude, though, as lots of sunscreen lip balms come in cool tones and colors.
Dudes, where's your lip balm? Women are more likely to use UV lip protection than men. But guys still need just as much sun security, so slip a stick of sunscreen-enhanced lip balm into your pocket and apply whenever you'll be outside for more than 20 minutes.
Bottoms up! Perhaps your nose provides some shade, because your lower lip tends to be more prone to sun exposure than the upper lip. Make sure to use plenty of sunscreen balm on your lower lip, and reapply if you go in the water or lick your lips too much over the BBQ.

3 Day Diet

What It Is
Surprisingly surviving the test of time, the 3 Day Diet is another fad diet, dating back to 1985. Copies of the "3 Day Diet" continue to float around cyberspace, promising quick weight loss, cleansing, lower cholesterol, and increased energy. However, no diet book exists to substantiate the science behind the "unique metabolic reaction."
Often mistakenly called The Cleveland Clinic Diet, the 3 Day Diet is a regimented plan that must be followed exactly for three days at a time, followed by normal eating for four or five days before opting to resume the plan again.
Followers of the 3 Day Diet are promised up to a 10 pound weight loss in three days, although realistically, most of that weight is likely due to fluid loss and not the more desirable fat loss. To achieve the proposed loss, exercise is not mentioned in the plan.
What You Can Eat
The 3 Day Diet is a very specific food plan that must be followed precisely. Portions must be eaten exactly as specified and dieters are warned not to overeat -- otherwise the promised 10 pound weight loss may not be achieved. Likewise, dieters should not under-eat, even if they are not hungry. The detailed plan does not mention or recommend any exercise.
The 3 Day Diet meal plan:
Day 1
Breakfast
Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal
1/2 grapefruit or juice
1 piece toast with 1 tablespoon peanut butter
Lunch
1/2 cup tuna
1 piece toast
Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal
Dinner
3 ounces any lean meat or chicken
1 cup green beans
1 cup carrots
1 apple
1 cup regular vanilla ice cream
Day 2
Breakfast
Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal
1 egg
1/2 banana
1 piece toast
Lunch
1 cup cottage cheese or tuna
8 regular saltine crackers
Dinner
2 beef franks
1 cup broccoli or cabbage
1/2 cup carrots
1/2 banana
1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream
Day 3
Breakfast
Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal
5 regular saltine crackers
1 ounce cheddar cheese
1 apple
Lunch
Black coffee or tea, with 1-2 packets Sweet & Low or Equal
1 boiled egg
1 piece toast
Dinner
1 cup tuna
1 cup carrots
1 cup cauliflower
1 cup melon
1/2 cup regular vanilla ice cream
In addition to its strict daily food prescription, dieters drink 4 cups of water or noncaloric drinks daily.
How It Works
By some unspecified magical force, the combination of the suggested foods included in this plan is supposed to create a unique metabolic reaction and boost fat burning.
Without an author or book, there is no documentation or explanation of how the 3 Day Diet food combinations burn fat, increase energy, cleanse the body, or lower cholesterol.
As the name suggests, the 3 Day Diet lasts only three days, though it's said that it can be repeated indefinitely, as long as you alternate with 4-5 days of undefined "normal eating." The purpose of returning to your usual eating style is to keep your metabolism from slowing, reverting to fat-storing, starvation mode.

It Has Been Dubbed The "Boob Jab"

IT has been dubbed the "boob jab" - an injection that boosts the size of a woman's breasts within the space of a lunch hour.
The latest cosmetic craze does not require surgery and can be completed in less than half an hour with no recovery period.
It involves a surgeon injecting a gel-like filler called Macrolane to enlarge or firm up breasts under the guidance of fully-conscious patients.
But the effects are not permanent, lasting between 18 months to two years before a top-up is required.
Neither is it cheap, at around $5000 to $7000. Yet fans say it is a relatively painless and less extreme alternative to breast implants, allowing them to subtly target specific areas without necessarily increasing cup size nor telling their friends.

Diamond Thong Worth $168,000


SINGAPORE (Reuters) - A diamond thong worth $168,000 ($122,000) was the highlight of a lingerie fashion show in Singapore on Thursday.
The Triumph Luxurious Diamond Thong had 518 brilliant-cut diamonds, totaling 30 carats, studded into the front of a black lace thong in a floral pattern. The skimpy underwear that left little to the imagination also had 27 white gold tassels hanging off it.
Danielle Luminita, a brunette model from Romania, was carried down the runway on the shoulders of two male models wearing only the diamond thong.

Eye Scratched From Thong

Fifty-two-year-old Macrida Patterson, who works in parking enforcement for the Los Angeles Department of Transportation, says she suffered a scratched cornea after either a pendant or a metal fastener snapped off a pair of panties and struck her in the eye.
"It does seem sort of unbelievable at first," said Patterson's attorney, Jason Buccat. But, he said, his client's injuries will "affect her for the rest of her life."
Tammy Roberts Myers, a Victoria's Secret spokeswoman, said the company had not seen the lawsuit and had no comment.
Apparently the thong failed to meet industry standards. I suppose we can expect warning labels next:
Warning: For external use only. Keep thong away from eyes. In case of swallowing, drink milk. Do not induce vomiting. Seek medical attention immediately.

Cuting End Science Develop Anti-aging Regimens


This is a good time to have some wrinkles on your face. No, really. In the past few years there have been groundbreaking advances in plastic surgery, dermatology and the ever-expanding anti-aging cosmetic industry.
face
More cosmetic companies are diving into cutting edge science to develop the next anti-aging regimens.


Back in the day, your mom probably used a wrinkle cream on her face that promised to "hydrate" her skin and reduce fine lines. These days the buzzwords are anti-oxidants, enzymes, gene therapy and nano molecules.

If you have some fine lines, a few wrinkles but you're not yet ready for the "f" word (facelift), an anti-aging cream might be right for you. But before settling on a product, you'd do well to brush up on your first-year chemistry.

"We are using nano liposome technology with a capsule so small that is gets absorbed through the hair follicles and releases the active ingredient into your skin," said John Kressaty, head chemist at 3Lab, Inc.

"Nano liposome is a very small particle that is able to pass through the skin to deliver vital nutrients. Five years ago, technology was limited where the products only stayed on the surface of the skin and now, with new technology, the molecules are easily absorbed topically," adds Stephanie Scott, public relations director for 3LAB, Inc.

Transform Your Shoes

New shoes, some say, can transform your life. It's not so easy to transform the shoes.

But a few designers are trying. They're offering shoes that can change — from high heel to low heel, from one size to a bigger size, from one outer skin to another — for better fashion, comfort or fit.

It's only a tiny trend in the $45-billion-a-year U.S. footwear market, but it's notable that shoe engineers are trying to alter an aspect of human apparel unchanged for centuries.

"More technology is being applied to shoes than has ever happened before," says shoe historian Elizabeth Semmelhack, curator of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto.

•Adjustable heels. Camileon Heels developed a new kind of shoe last, or form, that allows the heel to go from 3¼ to 1½ inches. Pull down on the heel, push it forward and tuck it under the arch of the shoe.

Beauty Is Judged


Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder, but the secret of what constitutes an attractive face could actually lie in a mathematical formula originally devised by artists like Leonardo da Vinci.

Scientists at the University of Nebraska say they have developed software that can predict whether or not a face will be deemed beautiful, using a calculation that calibrates the symmetry and geometry of the face.

Amazingly, the boffins' beauty results are practically identical to a code that da Vinci and the Old Masters followed to paint perfect beauty back in the 15th century.

The Renaissance artists used six Neo-Classical criteria as a guide to defining a beautiful face, among them being that the width of the face must be four times the width of the nose. In addition, the code stipulated that the height of the forehead, length of the nose and the height of the lower face must all be of equal length.

Last week, biostatisticians confirmed that out of the six Renaissance beauty rules used in their computer programme, only one turned out to be wrong. That was the so-called 'divine proportion' or 'golden ratio' between mouth and nose width (the artists said the ratio should be 1.5, whereas the scientists found it to be 1.618).

The rules were then tested on 36 volunteers who responded strongly to those 'ideal' Renaissance traits in pictures of celebrities like Meg Ryan, Rock Hudson and Keanu Reeves. To add to the theory, a recent documentary on Kate Moss argued that her features have the golden ratio of 1.618, which could explain her phenomenal popularity as a model.

So, just how has the Renaissance formula stood the test of time? It could be because the criteria incorporate the basic psychological triggers that alert the mind to beauty -- and ultimately to sexual reproduction.

Just A Fact


After the terrorist attacks of 2001 deflated the economy, Mr. Lauder noticed that his company was selling more lipstick than usual. He hypothesized that lipstick purchases are a way to gauge the economy. When it’s shaky, he said, sales increase as women boost their mood with inexpensive lipstick purchases instead of $500 slingbacks.

Beauty brands remain true believers in the theory, even though in the last few years the lipstick market has fallen on hard times as its glistening cousin, lip gloss, has had robust sales. Shop for designer makeup at 60% saving at: http://www.venusandmarz.com

The Art Of Bathing In Lifes Magic

You don't have to take a bath to be in a bath. Even out of water,we are soaking in the warm aquarium of our own cells.Two/thirds of the weight of the human body is from a liquid that has roughly the same density and chemical composition as the salty broth of the sea. Simply soaking in warm or cool water capitalizes on the physical and mechanical properties of water to promote mental health and relaxation. In ancient cultures water bathing had spiritual overtones. The Romans,cleanliness was next to godliness..it was a duty to patronize public baths. In Japan for centuries people have stood under sacred waterfalls to try to calm their minds. In India along the Ganges, pilgrims by the thoudands immerse themselves in the sluggish stream of the holy river.
In the Judeo-Christian tradition, baptism is still a rite of passage, a dunking ritual not unlike rebirthing. Water is the essence of all life bath in it and rejoice

Brain Surgeons Fear Of Cellphones

What do brain surgeons know about cellphone safety that the rest of us don't?
Last week, three prominent neurosurgeons told the CNN interviewer Larry King that they did not hold cellphones next to their ears. "I think the safe practice," said Dr. Keith Black, a surgeon at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, "is to use an earpiece so you keep the microwave antenna away from your brain."
Dr. Vini Khurana, an associate professor of neurosurgery at the Australian National University who is an outspoken critic of cellphones, said: "I use it on the speaker-phone mode. I do not hold it to my ear."
And CNN's chief medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a neurosurgeon at Emory University Hospital, said that like Black he used an earpiece.ip N

Appetite Control Tricks


Appetite control foods that suppress cravings without adding calories
There are many strategies that help reduce hunger: avoiding refined carbohydrates, getting plenty of natural sunlight on your skin, drinking large amounts of water on a regular basis, and getting plenty of fiber in your diet. But there is nothing that absolutely eliminates hunger. The bottom line is that if you are going to lose weight, you are going to experience hunger at one time or another.
In other words, if you eat two cups of cashews versus two cups of cabbage, your body can't really tell the difference for the first few minutes. Your stomach will turn off the hunger signals thinking you have eaten a large quantity of food regardless of whether you are eating cabbage or cashews, but in fact the cabbage may only contain 20 calories while the cashews contain as much as 900 or even 1000 calories. Two cups of cashews provides probably half the calories you need for the entire day, whereas two cups of cabbage provides virtually no calories whatsoever. You burn off the cabbage just digesting it. (Raw cabbage is, in fact, an outright cure for ulcers. But that's another article...)Your next choice, if water does not do the trick for you, is to purchase a 32-ounce quart of natural, organic vegetable broth. You can get organic vegetable broth from Trader Joe's, health food stores, or even many of the finer grocery stores that have a natural health section. The key is to get organic vegetable broth that does not contain excitotoxins. Emergency appetite control food #2
The next best strategy is to turn to green vegetables such as lettuce, cabbage, bokchoy, and other leafy vegetables. They have so few calories that in my own diet, I don't even count them. That's right: I allow myself to eat an unlimited quantity of any green leafy vegetables without even recording the number of calories I have consumed. In my book, they are "free" foods.Emergency appetite control food #5:
Here's an easy one: apples. Yep, apples. Eat the largest apple you can find. Sure, you'll get some calories and some carbs, but the apple will fill you up for quite a while, and that will stop you from eating far more calorie-dense foods.How to further suppress your appetite:
One more supplementary strategy to all of this is that you can multiply the appetite suppressing effects of all foods by swallowing a couple of fiber tablets before you begin eating. Fiber tablets or capsules would include psyllium husk, glucomannan, oat bran fiber, apple pectin fiber, or other natural fibers. You can find fiber supplements at any health food store. Be careful to watch the dosage of the fiber and drink plenty of water as you take these pills because without adequate water, they can gum up in your digestive tract and in extreme cases, they can block your digestive tract. So, you want to drink plenty of water with them.

By consuming both the fiber and the water before you start eating, you've already significantly turned off your appetite. Then by consuming these extremely low caloric density foods and beverages, you will further suppress your appetite. You can get an entire meal into your stomach for 100 calories or less and you can trick your brain into thinking you consumed an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Facial Liposculpture -Too Good to Be True?

Lipo Disolve Gaining Popularity After FDA Approval

12 to 15 years of patient injections in Europe and more recently in the USA,
Lipodissolve will continue to increase its popularity, as people continue to have "second thoughts" about full scale cosmetic surgery to deal with a fat tummy…loose skin…even body fat deposits in the eyelids. Lipodissolve helps you with small-to-medium body fat deposits such as on your hips…chin…under your bra line with excessively fat breasts…behind your knees…helps you to get rid of chin fat…lumpy neck fat…fat under your arms and more.

Typical Treatment Plan. For example how to lose back fat with lipodissolve would require an initial health screening with your doctor who'll review your medical and health history, determine your weight, explain the Body Mass Index concept and how your body shapes up in terms of your personal BMI rating. You'll receive a series of injections, 4 to 6 times. Treatments will be spaced about 2 weeks apart. Results will be more evident after about two months.
