IS IT ALL IN THE GENES?

July 17th, 2010

You often hear men say if you want to know what a woman will look like later in life all you need to do is meet her mother.  It seems that may be true according to new research that shows a woman’s body shape tends to resemble that of her mother, rather than her father.  When University College London researchers studied more than 4,000 families, they found, perhaps not surprisingly, that overweight parents were more to likely to have overweight children.  And the bigger the parents were, the bigger their sons and daughters.  Researcher Professor Jane Wardle said: ‘If both parents are overweight then it is twice as likely that the children will be overweight. If they are obese then it is 12 times as likely and if the parents are severely obese then it is 22 times as likely.  Read more.

BETTER THAN BOTOX?

July 14th, 2010

Youthful appearance: The carbon dioxide is injected below the skin

It seems carbon dioxide may be the next competitor to Botox and fillers.   The gas that gives drinks their pop is the latest weapon for cosmetic doctors.  When it’s injected below the skin it can apparently do everything from melt away fat and stretch marks to tighten jowls and combat dark circles under the eyes.

It is injected below the skin, where it is said to work wonders from melting away fat and stretch marks to tightening jowls and combating dark circles under the eyes.  Doctors say the jabs dilate blood vessels, boosting the flow of blood and oxygen and nourishing the regeneration of skin cells. Deep injections can kill fat cells, it is claimed.   More recently, research by the University of Siena in Italy showed it is effective at smoothing skin and reducing fat.  It’s big in Europe even for balding.  But can Carboxytherapy really do so much?  Read more.
