Feet

It is desirable to wash the feet daily, especially when sweating is important. Otherwise, there may be odor problems or infections. After washing drying are good, especially the interdigital spaces. This foot care is essential to athletes, from the easier to suffer yeast infections that often affect those areas with higher humidity.

The feet may suffer from the use of inappropriate shoes with a heel or too high. The foot is arched which distributes the load evenly between the heel and the front. If used excessively high heels, there is an overload on the forefoot that may become seventy percent of the weight. This overload can produce an increase in the offal of the forefoot that facilitates the deviation of the fingers with the consequent appearance of scratches and areas of “hyperkeratosis (increased stratum corneum or scaly skin). To remove these “Hyperkeratosis” we can resort to using a pumice stone. In the event that persist or are very painful, is necessary to go to the specialist.

The use of inappropriate shoes for children or inherited from older brothers, also may facilitate the development in the future of these problems.

Advice

- Use a comfortable shoe that fits the foot shape.
- Detect the occurrence of chafing or injury “hyperkeratotic”.

The Face

These attacks are varied to the skin of the face. Environmental highlights, especially physical. Exposure to ultraviolet radiation from the sun, excessive and without sufficient protection, favors an early aging of the skin. Other environmental conditions like cold and wind are harmful to the skin of the face and the excess moisture. On the other hand, be careful with chemical attack. These attacks come from the atmosphere as smoke or dust that is deposited in the skin, but also the implementation of certain chemicals or cosmetics (especially poorly preserved or not approved). The snuff is particularly harmful.

Not all people have the same skin type, which in different ways to resist these attacks. People with oily skin tend to better resist these noxious agents. Fat is a protective layer of the skin because it creates a blanket that covers the outer layer (with insulating properties and germinicidas). In contrast, dry skin suffer worst action of these agents. In this case, easily deteriorates the protective mantle being exposed layers of the skin.

The effects of aggression on the skin are diverse, although predominantly scaly lesions and premature aging. These scaly lesions are caused by a loss of the protective mantle of the skin. The surface layers are exposed to suffer a rapid deterioration caused by the appearance of these lesions. These lesions take on a scaly and even inflammatory, reaching a speed greater depths, especially in the folds or where skin tension is higher. Such an injury can recover with proper treatment, however this is more difficult with the aging of the skin. This aging is caused by moisture loss and degeneration of fibrillary structures which give support. Dehydration causes decreased turgor and shiny skin, while the destruction of fibrillar structures (especially collagen) causes a loss of firmness. As a result of all these skin loses elasticity and flexibility changes, forming wrinkles and bags.

To avoid deterioration of the skin that should know the characteristics of it. Oily skin can be easier to protect, but be careful with cleaning it. That skin secretions accumulate more often creating problems folliculitis. Dry skin should be protected more carefully. To do this, avoid excessive exposure to physical aggression (ultraviolet, humidity, wind) and chemical. At the end of the day or sometime even more should protect it with a moisturizer. But also be careful performing a cleaning of the order to remove traces of cosmetics or creams (often trap dust and other substances). This cleaning is recommended to be at least twice daily, using sponge or soft brush (remove traces of dirt or damaged corneas layers, without damaging the skin). You should delete the snuff and as many claim, manage stress and make toning massage (not excessively stretching the skin, especially down) of the facial muscles as they improve their strength and flexibility. In this sense, laughter seems to be a highly recommended therapy.

Advice

Skin Care Face:
- Washing your face at night then apply a moisturizer.
- And snuff Avoid exposure to sunlight without adequate protection.
- Trying to get enough rest to relax the muscles of the face.

When cholesterol levels are above normal limits and stay high, some remnants of cholesterol are deposited in the arteries and through the years, they are hardened by a fatty substance called cholesterol plaque that accumulates on the walls of the arteries and reduces or blocks blood flow.

The organs supplied by these arteries are damaged because they can not get oxygen and nutrients needed by limiting blood flow through the arteries, so for example when blood flow to the brain is blocked, it causes a stroke or if the plaque completely blocks a coronary artery, is when we are in presence of a heart attack.

The cholesterol in the body comes from two sources, most of it is produced by the liver from various nutrients and especially saturated fat.

The liver produces almost all the cholesterol your body needs and the fact that all animals can make their own cholesterol, some of that cholesterol is incorporated into the human body by eating animal products.

These foods include meat, egg yolks, organ meats, whole milk and milk products, which when ingested cholesterol is absorbed by the intestine and is added to what the liver.

We also know that a diet high in saturated fat seems to increase the production of cholesterol in the body. Therefore, reducing dietary cholesterol and fat helps keep cholesterol levels in the blood within a healthy range.
