Health Tips: Did you know smoking worsens skin aging???


We all know the damage smoking does to the lungs and cardiovascular system, but do you fully know what it can do to the health of your skin? The long-term effects may be much worse than you think.
 
Tobacco smoke contains a complex mixture of gaseous and particle compounds, several of which have the potential to exert physiologic and pharmacologic impacts. Various independent studies have shown that smoking indeed has a degenerative effect on the skin.
 
Tobacco smoking has been shown to induce oxidative stress, which results in a cascade of detrimental effects on inflammatory cell function. Collagen production, which is responsible for giving the skin its firmness, has been reported to be significantly reduced.3 It also causes the release of proteolytic enzymes, which in turn degrades the skin's connective tissue and alters the rate of cellular turnover. In essence, this activity accelerates the skin's natural aging process.

Take Pride In Building A Home

As parents, there are some basic things we shouldn't turn deaf ears to. Even though it might be hard to be there 100%, at least some things shouldn't be ignored. Irrespective of the part of the country or the world we all live  in, this can serve as a general guide to all parents. Some people believe taking care of a child and instilling discipline in them is solely the role of a woman but honestly it's not. Togetherness in parenting I believe will bring out the best in our children

Birthdays Are Perfect Times To Reflect

Birthdays are always worthy of celebrating and it's that time of the year, most people look forward to. Many of us look forward to this day to celebrate in different ways/ grand styles.....Some spend it partying,  clubbing, drinking, praying etc. one of which I'm guilty of. Just recently, I pondered over life and realized, as each day passes by, minutes after minutes ,every passing hour, Time is just of the essence. That time is drawing closer and faster than we could ever imagine.The most scary part of it is, no one knows when?
