Acne: What It Is and What To Do About It
by: Jim Konerko
When your skin pores start to be clogged up with greasy, oily stuff, causing inflammation to occur, a skin condition known as acne results. If left untreated, acne could produce permanent scarring on one?s face, neck, or back. Acne is different from the common pimple that appears on the face, because acne will be inflamed and might turn out to be an infection. Acne can appear as whiteheads (closed pimples) or blackheads (open pimples), which then cause the distinguishing inflammation and possible infection.
When children begin to turn into adults, their levels of hormones causes changes in skin gland size, which causes more oil to be produced by the glands, thus often resulting in acne. The majority of acne is minor and vanishes at the end of teen years, but inflamed, infected acne can result in serious scarring.
Contrary to popular belief, there is no known study that shows particular foods, such as chocolate, cause acne. Proper diet and exercise will result in healthier skin, but will not necessarily prevent acne from appearing.
Mild forms of acne can be controlled by washing with a soft mild soap several times a day, and by refraining from picking at pimples while they are healing. There are several acne medications on the market that can control acne, but cosmetics and oil-filled lotions should be avoided when treating it.
The more serious forms of acne may necessitate the assistance of a physician to avoid spreading and scarring. Antibiotics are often prescribed in such cases. Further, teens who have acne sometimes feel embarrassed and might skip school or stay away from social contacts because of how they look. In cases like that, it might become necessary to seek counseling as well as medical assistance from a physician.

Post Workout Nutrition: Secrets to a Hard, Lean Body
Post Workout Nutrition: Secrets to a Hard, Lean Body
by: Michael Geary
As you?ve probably heard before, your post-workout meal may very well be your most important meal of the day. The reason is that when you?re finished with an intense workout, you?re entering a catabolic state where your muscle glycogen is depleted and increased cortisol levels are beginning to excessively break down muscle tissue. These conditions are not good and the only way to reverse this catabolic state (and promote an anabolic state) is to consume a quickly digestible post-workout meal as soon as you can after training. The goal is to choose a meal with quickly digestible carbs to replenish muscle glycogen as well as quickly digestible protein to provide the amino acids needed to jump start muscular repair. The surge of carbohydrates and amino acids from this quickly digested meal promotes an insulin spike from the pancreas, which shuttles nutrients into the muscle cells...

7 Fun and Feisty Resolutions You?re Guaranteed To Achieve In The New Year!
by: Julie Hunt
January 1st rolls around and there are resolutions up the wazoo ? which no one seems to keep.
Society instantly asks to you recognize some glaring personality flaw - on the spot.
Without any planning, preparation or foresight you go for it! You pick something monumental to fix. You never start small or say, ?I promise to water and care for the house plants!? Instead you pick something that?s been plaguing you for months or even years. The infamous, ?I promise to quit smoking? or ??lose twenty-five pounds.?
Failing miserably, you?ve fallen off the wagon by January 21st. Statistically speaking, less than 10% of women who commit to lose weight, stop smoking, stick to a budget, get a new job, or be a better person will actually accomplish what they said they would on January 1st.
So, why fight it?
Perhaps you should give chocolate...
