SOS!! Save Our Skin!!
by Dr. Robert Osgoodby
Unfortunately,
there is no such thing as a healthy tan. Studies
have
proven that over 90% of wrinkles, brown spots, and skin
cancer
are caused by the sun. Fair skin also wrinkles faster
than
dark skin because of it's lack of pigment. Everyone,
regardless
of skin type needs to use sunscreen year-round to
protect
against the suns damaging UVA and UVB rays.
What
is the best way to decrease your chances of getting skin
cancer,
brown spots and premature wrinkles? The Vampire
Approach
- stay out of the sun! Buy a cape, leave your home
before
sunrise, stay inside all day, keep the shades drawn, and
come
h ome after sunset. This approach will help you save your
skin,
but it will put a huge damper on your social life.
Sunscreen
and common sense is the practical answer to protect
your
skin.
Sunscreen
should be used anytime you are going to be in the sun
for
more than 20 minutes. If you are going to wear make-up,
apply
sunscreen before you apply your make-up. There are also
many
cosmetic products available today that contain sunscreen
that
help prevent premature aging and skin cancer.
Since
sun exposure is responsible for vitamin D production, if
you
wear sunscreen, take a multivitamin, or drink vitamin D
fortified
milk.
Most
people only use sunscreen on sunny summer days. Remember,
the
sun's reflective powers are great on sand, water, even snow!
Don't
reserve the use of sunscreen for only summer days. Even on
a
cloudy day, 80% of the sun's ultraviolet rays pass through the
clouds.
Sunscreens
should be applied 15-30 minutes before going outdoors.
Sunscreen
should be reapplied every two hours or after swimming
or
perspiring heavily. Even though some sunscreens claim their
product
is water resistant, some sun screens lose their
effectiveness
after 80 minutes in the water.
Sunscreens
are available in many forms - gels, lotions, creams,
wax
sticks to name a few. Ideally, sunscreens should be water
resistant
so that they cannot be easily removed by sweating or
swimming
and should have an SPF of 15 or higher.
Sunscreen
is not the only thing you can use to protect yourself
from
the sun. Here are are some other things you can do to
prevent
skin cancer and premature aging:
1.
Wear protective clothing including sunglasses, a hat, long
sleeved shirts and pants.
2.
Seek shade when possible.
3.
Avoid the peak hours. The sun's rays are strongest between
10:00AM and 4:00PM.
Sunburn
is not only painful but dangerous as well. First-degree
sunburn
causes redness and possible peeling. This is best
treated
with cool baths, bland moisturizers, and hydrocortisone
creams.
Second and third degree sunburns should be considered an
emergency,
especially if a large area is affected. Skin blisters
are
a common with second and third degree sunburn. When a burn
is
severe, and/or accompanied by a headache, chills or fever,
seek
medical help immediately.
If
your interested in protecting your skin, The American Academy
Of
Dermatology has a great web site (www.aad.org) that offers
great
ways on how to protect your skin from the sun and how to
avoid
melanoma which is the deadliest form of skin cancer.

House
Calls
-----------
A
doctor was awakened at four in the morning by a caller who
demanded
to know how much he charged for a house call.
"Twenty-five
dollars," muttered the sleepy physician.
"How
much is an office visit?" demanded the caller.
"Fifteen
dollars."
"Okay,
Doc," said the caller. "I'll meet you in your office in
fifteen
minutes."

are cautioned to slow down by the doctor instead of by the

Dear
Dr. Osgoodby:
I
have had several knee surgeries on both legs, I was hit by a
car
when I was nine years old. Other than running, what forms of
cardiovascular
exercise can you recommend that will not aggravate
my
knees?
Thanks,
Joe
Parino
Dear
Joe:
Thanks
for the email. Sorry to hear about the bad knees.
Injuries
definitely make getting in shape more challenging, but I
have
some great options for you:
1.
Swimming - swimming is a great no-impact exercise that works
more muscle groups than any other exercise.
2.
Walking - walking at a slow/medium pace either on a treadmill
or outside on grass is low impact.
3.
Low Impact Aerobic Video Tapes - Denise Austin has a great
tape titled "XtraLite Beginner's Aerobics" which I highly
recommend.
4.
Rowing Machine - a rowing machine is a great form of
cardiovascular exercise which only works your upper body.
If
any exercise bothers your knees and causes pain, immediately
stop
and eliminate it from your routine.
Warmly,
Dr.
Robert Osgoodby

An
Email From One Of Our Present Clients
Dr.
Osgoodby:
Just
thought I'd update you on my progress--good news is nice to
get!
Since
February 1st, I have lost 35 lbs (beating my goal and time
to
make the goal by 10 lbs and 4 weeks!)
My
body has totally changed---to date I have lost 8 inches from
my
waist and 9 inches from my hips. I have put 4 inches on my
biceps,
3 inches on my forearms, 5 inches on my calves, and my
thighs
are now the same size as they were when I was nearly 40
lbs
heavier--but they are nearly all solid muscle.
I
now have to have all my suits tailored---I wear a 42 inch
tailored
jacket, and 32 (soon to be less!) inch pants!
Needless
to say, I have very few clothes that fit---and am glad
of
it.
Thanks
for your program---it worked (and continues to work) for
me.
Oh--and the abs are almost out---another month or so!
Thanks
again!

********How do I Get There From Here?********
by James Groves
Beginning
this month, I'm going to make some simple suggestions
and
offer alternative remedies for common health problems. Of
course,
none of this is meant to replace visits to your doctor,
but
these simple ideas could save you money and improve your
health,
all at the same time.
If
you have been experiencing angina, then your body is telling
you
that it's time to change your diet and your lifestyle. Begin
with
an increase in exercise, eliminate smoking, and adopt a
calmer,
gentler outlook on life.
You
should include vitamin C and lysine in your nutritional
supplement
program. This combination is an excellent way of
reducing
arterial plaque. Also, add Coenzyme Q10 to your
daily
supplements. This amazing nutrient has shown an ability
to
improve cardiovascular functioning and performance.
Eat
fish at least twice per week or use fish-oil supplements.
Studies
have shown that EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) can
reduce
blood pressure and help increase circulation. The
end
result could be a decrease in angina attacks.
Next
month we'll continue with some simple suggestions for
those
who suffer from chronic fatigue.
These
health tips can only be found in Dr. Osgoodby's Newsletter.
Live
in Passion and Good Health,
James
Groves

Dr. Earl Mindell's Wellness Update
==================================
The
Healthy Cholesterol Lifestyle
A
healthy lifestyle is the foundation for balanced cholesterol.
Start
with a whole-foods, vegetable-rich diet high in fiber and
avoid
processed or refined foods as much as possible. Vegetables
contain
lots of antioxidant nutrients, which help prevent
oxidation
of LDL in your blood vessels. Small servings (three
ounces,
the size of a deck of cards) of fish, poultry, and even
red
meat provide a good protein balance with vegetables and whole
grains.
Eggs and tofu are good sources of protein and essential
fats.
Fiber helps your body to eliminate excess cholesterol, so
add
a source of supplemental fiber if you're not having regular,
easy
bowel movements.
Stress
is known to cause blood cholesterol to rise. Try to eat
according
to these guidelines, but don't worry yourself sick over
whether
you're eating right! Find constructive ways to manage
stress
in general.
Get
some mild to moderate exercise every day if you can. Take
your
antioxidant supplements, especially vitamin E (which
prevents
LDL oxidation), alpha-Lipoic acid (which supports the
action
of vitamin E and other antioxidant vitamins), and
proanthocy
anidins (PCOs for short, found in grape seed extract
and
green tea). Be sure to get at least 50 mg of B6, 400 mcg of
folic
acid, and 100 mcg of B12 daily to keep homocysteine levels
in
check.

Regardless
of your skin type, protect your skin with sunscreen
whenever
you are going to be in the sun for more than 20 minutes.
Remember,
it does not to have to be a hot sunny day for the sun
to
damage your skin. If you are going to be in the sun, apply
sunscreen
at least 15 minutes before you go outside, and reapply
it
every two hours. Don't forget your sunglasses, hat, and other
protective
clothing if you are going to be in the sun for a
prolonged
period of time.
Yours in Health
