PERRICONE DIET - Dr. PERRICONE Shares Anti-Aging Secret DIET

The Perricone Diet is a trail-blazing discovery by Dr. Nicholas Perricone, who wrote the book The Perricone Prescription that emphasized the link of inflammation and water retention to human aging. While all other diets just strive to take off the pounds in your waist, the Perricone Diet does more because it aims to minimize refined sugars, saturated fats, and other high glycemic carbohydrates in your diet in order for you to lose weight AND prevent premature aging, wrinkles and other health problems. Like whoa, it's hitting two birds with one stone right?

When entering the Perricone Diet program, you have to follow a 28 day food intake in order for you to increase your metabolism and cell rejuvenation. For impatient folks who can't sacrifice 28 days of agony, there's also the so called the 3 Day Nutritional Facelift in the Perricone Diet program wherein you can reap wonderful benefits like “feeling more energized”, “losing that puffiness around the face” and “eyes no longer bloodshot”.

Here's the 3 Day Nutritional Facelift Perricone Diet plan I found in Everydiet.com:

The following menu should be followed for 3 days. Protein should be eaten first. Note that the salmon should be wild, or at the least organic.

ONE FOR JASMINA - Rihanna and Other Celebs Help JASMINA Survive

One for Jasmina is a campaign to save a life of a 6 year old girl stricken with a dreaded rare form of leukemia. Jasmina Anema is from New York City and she is fortunate enough to gather celebrities like Rihanna, Kelly Rowland and NBA player Paul Pierce. These celebrities will help Jasmina thru One for Jasmina, in which the "helpers" would use Twitter to twit others to inform Jasmina's condition and the help she needs.



To participate in One for Jasmina, this message is sent in Twitter:

“Cute kid needs bone marrow transplant http://bit.ly/UPQ24 Chris Wilcox holding Bone Marrow Donor Drive 03/07 in Manhattan. Pls RT #NYC #USA”

Another effort for One for Jasmina is to find an appropriate donor drive for Jasmina in her soon to be built website oneforjasmina.com. Jasmina's mother, Theodora, is praying that thousands of people will help her find the appropriate bone marrow donor.

According to the Emaxhealth.com, here are the requirements to become a donor:

• You need to be between the ages of 18 and 60 years.
• You need to meet the health criteria. Persons with conditions such as HIV, insulin-dependent diabetes, hepatitis and autoimmune diseases are generally excluded.
• While there is no minimum weight requirement, there is a maximum. The maximum acceptable weight would be a person's weight associated with a body mass index (BMI) of 40.
• If you are part of a registration drive, then often the sponsor of the drive will cover the costs. If no, then you may be asked to pay for the tissue typing (approx $52).

To read more about Jasmina, here is a news from NY Daily News.

PHOEBE SNOW doesn't need CATALASE SUPPLEMENT

Catalase supplement may be good for Phoebe Snow but she certainly doesn't need it. Phoebe Snow is a 1970s singer and songwriter famed for her knack at combining various elements of jazz, blues, folk, and rock music. She's from New York City and she already had 10 albums and three compilations of her songs.

For Phoebe Snow fans out there, here's an episode of the CBS Early show she had done last year. Be mesmerized at her one-of-a-kind music and you'll certainly agree that no amount of catalase supplement can match her talent:



Actually, this article is just an SEO test. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed her as much as I did. Here is her website http://www.phoebesnow.com.

CATALASE Trace: CATALASE ENZYME makes your hair gray

Catalase is a digestive enzyme ubiquitously present in all living life forms that speeds up the separation of water into hydrogen peroxide and oxygen. In fact, catalase is an overworked protein in our bodies because it does the separation of water over a million times in one second. Wow! Anyway, recently, scientists have finally traced catalase enzyme as the culprit to why human hair turn to gray especially in older people.

CBS News explained the aging process naturally cause our hair to bleach itself white:

The process starts when there is a dip in levels of an enzyme called catalase. That catalase shortfall means that the hydrogen peroxide that naturally occurs in hair can't be broken down. So hydrogen peroxide builds up in the hair, and because other enzymes that would repair hydrogen peroxide's damage are also in short supply, the hair goes gray.

Putting the brakes on that chemical chain reaction "could have great implications in the hair graying scenario in humans," write the researchers, who included Karin Schallreuter, a professor clinical and experimental dermatology at England's University of Bradford.

With this new development, scientists can now think of a way to thwart that natural process and apply a cost-effective method to prevent the graying of hair. I guess X-Men's Storm should be very happy to hear this news.
Here's a video about the catalase enzyme:

Barreleye Fish Baffles Scientists -- See Through Fish has Transparent Bones and All!

A newly discovered transparent fish species had been the toast of many marine biologists around the world. Dubbed as the barreleye fish, the whole trunk of this weird fish is see-through. Yep, seeing this fish is like looking through a glass ball because even the bones of this Californian Macropinna microstoma is composed of a transparent jelly-like structure. The "barreleye" term also comes from its unique ability of being able to see 360 degrees, since most of its skin, bones and scales are clearly transparent.

This news was first brought to attention by the Monterey Bay Aquarium Research Institute scientists who reported a breakthrough in their unraveling the 50-year old mysteries behind this see-through fish. They described the barreleye fish as neon green with "bulbous eyes inside their see-through heads can fully rotate - dispelling previous claims that their eyes were stuck in 'tunnel vision'". It also appears that the vision of this fish species is light-sensitive because they are bottom dwellers.

Here's the video of the fish:



Scientists also report that with the rapid advancement of marine biology equipment, they will be slowly but surely unwrapping the secrets of our oceans. Let's just have to wait when will they finally find Atlantis!
