Confusing terminologyThe anti-aging creams advertised on television and in magazines enthuse about Leuphasyl, coffeeberry, titanium, pro-retinol, alpha-hydroxy acids and peptides. Do you understand these terms? They blind us with supposed science and we think because something has a long chemical name it must be special and therefore must work.Testing the theoriesMany creams have been tested and found to be only up to 10% successful – that’s not even visible to the naked eye. Others studies show that some moisturizers are doing the same job as expensive anti-aging creams – just moisturizing and nothing else.AHAs (Alpha-hydroxy acids) were once the must-have ingredient but since have been shown to make the skin more vulnerable to damage from the sun.Radical problemsScientists do agree on one point which is that one of the most aging effects on our skin is caused by “free radicals”. These rascally radicals are in the oxygen we breathe; the air around us; in pollution; in the chemicals we ingest or bathe in and they have a consistently damaging effect on the collagen (elasticity) of our skin from the time we are just 20 years old. We probably won’t notice a problem until we’re in our 30s; but it’s happening anyway and we cannot avoid it – but we can reduce the impact with the right anti aging creams.What has been proven to be effective?Also proven by modern science is the fact that we need a large quantity of the anti-oxidants that are the enemy of free radicals. We get a number of these anti-oxidants from fresh fruit and vegetables but applying anti ageing creams that contain the highest number of these free-radical predators could certainly make a huge difference to those wrinkles. Anti-oxidant creams have received wonderful reviews and testimonials to the fact that they CAN be truly effective.ResveratrolNo, that’s not the name of a specific anti-aging product – it’s the name of the best natural anti-oxidant found to date. In fact scientists are hailing Resveratrol as the most potent anti-oxidant ingredient in anti aging creams so wouldn’t it make sense to look out for high levels of Resveratrol in any product you buy?Are wrinkles inevitable?Simple answer: yes! I have already lived on the planet for over 47 years and my skin has wrinkled just as yours will (or has) and just as a new-born baby’s will someday too. But now, at last,we can at least decrease these unsightly signs of ageing and keep our skin looking softer, more youthful and more healthy than in any decade so far.SurgeryNot everyone wants surgery or painful injections to feel better about themselves but can we now have access to the real deal: anti ageing creams that show real, noticeable and delightful results?

Fat loss is probably the most common health and fitness goal today and there are so many different products and programs designed to make people lose fat that it is virtually impossible to keep track of them all. Having different options for achieving fat loss is important, because no single approach will work for everyone, although some fat loss strategies definitely work better than others.I hope this is obvious, but any good long-term approach weight loss must involve making improvements in your nutrition and any product or program that promises fat loss without addressing nutritional issues is almost certainly a gimmick and a waste of money. The product may be beneficial, but you always have to address the nutritional component. The good news is there are many different fat loss programs that are effective. Interestingly, even though some of these programs involve very different eating habits, they often have some of the same fundamental strategies at their core.Some of the more popular nutritional strategies involve minimizing insulin level fluctuations, eating natural (unprocessed) foods, eating small meals throughout the day etc. The multitude of nutritional strategies and diets, along with current obesity rates, have resulted in a lot of research being done to learn more about the process of fat loss. Many studies have compared various eating strategies to figure out which ones work better than others and analysis has been done to determine what nutritional factors are most strongly linked to weight loss and fat loss.Of course, there are many factors that influence whether or not a fat loss program will be successful, but some things have been shown to be more important than others. One of the commonly studied factors is the percentage of calories consumed from fats, protein, and carbohydrates, otherwise known as the macronutrient profile. The macronutrient profile is one of the most obvious differences between nutritional programs or diets, with different programs focusing on things like minimizing carb intake, minimizing fat intake, having a balance between all three, etc.So many programs suggest that theirs is the best for fat loss because of the particular macronutrient profile of the foods, but it turns out this is not even the most important part of a meal plan, at least from a fat loss standpoint. When it comes to weight and fat loss, the number of calories consumed is more important than what type of calories you are consuming. Of course, the type of calories you consume does effect the number of calories you consume, so it is still important. The type of calories you eat also affects your overall health, but eating for health and eating for fat loss are not always the same thing.Even though the number of calories you consume is more important for weight and fat loss than the type of calories consumed, calorie consumption is still not the factor that is most strongly linked to fat loss. The single most important nutritional for fat loss is actually something called caloric density. Caloric density is a measure of how much a food weighs compared to how many calories are contained in that food. Simply stated, foods that weigh more and have fewer calories are better for fat loss than other foods.Researchers have found that the weight of the food you eat has more of an effect on how full or hungry you feel than the number of calories contained in the food. In other words, if two people with similar appetites each eat a pound of food, they should both feel equally full, even if one person ate twice as many calories as the other person. By eating foods that have fewer calories by weight, you will be able to minimize your feelings of hunger, which is one of the keys to long-term fat loss success.I should point out that while caloric density does not measure where the calories come from (fat, protein, carb), foods that have good caloric density scores usually have healthy characteristics. This is because many healthy components of food, such as water and fiber, have weight but do not add calories, so they will improve caloric density. On the other hand, foods that are very high in fat will have low caloric densities, because fat has more than twice the number of calories per weight than protein or carbs.By taking a look at the things that influence caloric density, we can see that while it does not directly measure calorie content or macronutrient profiles, the caloric density of a food is essentially a partial measure of both things. Another interesting thing is that many foods with the best caloric density scores are healthy vegetables, which are considered good foods to eat on virtually every type of nutritional program or diet.It is important to keep in mind that eating foods just based on their caloric density will not guarantee you will have a well balanced diet. You still need to include a certain amount of fat, particularly healthy fats (omega-3 oils), and quality protein if you want to achieve fat loss and good health. However, other things being similar, a person who eats foods with good caloric densities should lose more weight and more fat than a person who eats foods with poor caloric densities.Finally I want to point out that caloric density and and other nutritional components are only one part of the fat loss equation. The most successful programs always incorporate both nutrition and exercise. Following a nutrition program that focuses on eating a well-balanced combination of foods with good caloric densities should result in fat loss, but your results will be significantly better if you consistently include challenging workouts into your routine.
