Greentech tackles the longevity of skin for ageless beauty.

Even while most nations are seeing annual increases in life expectancy, maintaining excellent health as we age without suffering from chronic or age-related disorders is the true issue facing our societies. In the world of cosmetics, the ideas of longevity and healthy life expectancy are becoming increasingly prevalent. Greentech has created Timelys®, a skin longevity booster, as its new active component in answer to this new issue.Skin Youthfulness − Skin Healthspan Centenarians are inherently linked to longevity. Studying this group reveals that they embrace straightforward, healthful lifestyles that have a big impact and live long, happy lives. These supercentenarians are also common in "blue zones" around the globe, such as the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica, the Sardinian Alps, the Okinawa Islands in Japan, and Icaria in Greece. Positive attitudes, conscious eating, organic activity, and genuine connection are their four guiding principles. Slowing down physiological changes is also influenced by the individual genome, especially by longevity genes like SIRT6 and FOXO3.Skin Health: Connected Mechanisms of Skin Longevity Longevity in terms of the skin and cells is described as continuing to maintain the best possible function of skin cells over time in order to retain the kind of skin that radiates health (radiance, softness, elasticity). The longevity signaling pathways are largely influenced by the longevity genes SIRT6 and FOXO3, which are overexpressed in centenarians. SIRT6 stimulates the FOXO3 gene, which in turn stimulates the cell's autophagic and mitochondrial processes. SIRT6 also suppresses NfkB, which lowers chronic inflammation, and promotes NrF2, which prevents oxidative damage.Optimizing blood flow to the skin at the tissular level is also essential because research indicates that healthy blood circulation contributes to longevity. Keeping the microbiota in balance is another important aspect of living a longer life.These systems are interrelated and contribute significantly to the maintenance of a good barrier function and radiant, smooth, firm, and elastic skin. For instance, a radiant complexion is influenced by the equilibrium of the microbiota, autophagy, mitochondrial respiration, and antioxidant enzymes in skin cells.Through an examination of these many systems and the determination of which molecules have a favorable impact on them, Greentech created Timelys®, a new active ingredient that is concentrated in Schisandrin. Greentech is focusing on the broad family of polyphenols because they have anti-aging characteristics, particularly through their influence on age indicators. After conducting extensive research, Greentech focused on lignans, a subset of polyphenols that is less common yet has the potential to prolong life. This brought Greentech to schisandra, also referred to as "lifelong health berries" and high in schisandrin.

As soon as it'sA fresh batch of pure formulation IL Cosmetics cautions against a frequent misconception in the market about the characteristics of tubing mascaras, nevertheless. "Tubbing mascaras are not made to endure total immersion in water, like swimming or sauna sessions, in contrast to waterproof mascaras.

AI in healthcare Using cutting-edge breakthroughs to transform patient care and operations

Policies that are based on data are crucial for tackling health problems like addiction to vaping. Through the analysis of healthcare data, regulations can be assessed for their influence and modified to achieve better results.Artificial Intelligence is changing the healthcare sector quickly, helping to improve patient monitoring and combat antibiotic resistance. Ayush Tomar, a well-known expert in data science and machine learning, especially in the healthcare industry, was interviewed by Indiatoday.in. He has submitted over fifteen patent applications with the goal of leveraging AI to improve healthcare.With a master's in computer science from the University of Minnesota, I began my career in artificial intelligence. My curiosity about using AI in healthcare brought me to my current position as Director of Data Science and ML at UnitedHealth Group. Here, I've spearheaded the creation of AI-powered solutions that have revolutionized physician-patient matching and patient care, leading to the submission of more than 15 patents. Millions of patients have benefited from my work, which has greatly improved our capacity to use data for tailored treatment. What are the advantages of using healthcare data to customize patient care? How does one go about doing so? To customize suggestions and therapies for each patient, we examine large-scale healthcare databases. We can create individualized treatment plans and link patients with the finest physicians for their particular requirements by utilizing AI. This method improves patient satisfaction, improves health outcomes, and makes better use of healthcare resources, all of which contribute to a better overall patient experience.How do you see data-driven policy choices affecting healthcare in the future, especially when it comes to pressing issues? Policies that are based on data are crucial for tackling health problems like addiction to vaping. Through the analysis of healthcare data, regulations can be assessed for their influence and modified to achieve better results. For example, our study on lung damage from vaping showed how certain FDA regulations significantly decreased the number of instances. With the use of these knowledge, policymakers may develop programs that more effectively safeguard public health and tackle new health risks.Could you provide more details about how AI and large language models (LLMs) are enhancing patient experiences in medical settings?

They facilitate the creation of individualized patient communications, automated recording, and streamlined medical record summaries. This lessens the administrative load on medical professionals, enabling them to concentrate more on patient care and enhancing the patient experience in general.  

Shah Rukh Khan's heat stroke How can people over 50 stay hydrated?

Your body doesn't require as much water as it did when you were younger. According to Dr. M. Wali, Senior Consultant, Department of Internal Medicine, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, you could not feel sufficiently thirsty. Doctors warn that extended heat exposure can have negative effects on your body, regardless of your level of fitness. According to Dr. M. Wali, Senior Consultant, Department of Internal Medicine, Sir Ganga Ram Hospital, New Delhi, "if you are over 50 and have co-morbidities like hypertension and diabetes, dehydration and extreme heat can affect you adversely."DURING A HEAT STROKE, WHAT TAKES PLACE? The heat exposure and excessive perspiration cause the body to lose fluids, raising the core body temperature. The sympathetic nervous system is triggered, putting the body in a fight-or-flight state and causing the production of stress hormones when it senses a crisis. Less water causes the blood to thicken, the blood volume to decrease, and the heart and blood vessels to work harder to pump more blood to the peripheries so that the skin can radiate heat more quickly. The body loses its ability to regulate its temperature during a heat stroke, evaporation and perspiration stop working, and the body cannot cool down. The body temperature increases when heat stroke happens. WHAT ARE THE DEHYDRATION SIGNIFICANTS? WHY AS YOU GROW OLD YOU MAY NOT FEEL IT? Pay attention to any decrease in urine flow, advises Dr. Wali. Additionally, urine might have a dark color. According to Dr. Wali, symptoms could include low blood pressure, a fast heartbeat, dry mouth, headache, fever, and dyspnea. Your body doesn't require as much water as it did when you were younger. Thus, even though your body may still require water to function, you could not feel sufficiently thirsty. You run the risk of becoming dehydrated if you don't drink enough water, he continues.WAYS TO AVOID DEHYDRATION? HOW MUCH H2O IS SUFFICIENT TO DRINK? To avoid dehydration on a hot day, people should consume four to six liters of water at the very least. Continue drinking water, fruit-infused water, or bael juice (which is the greatest at reducing heat) every hour. Even if you don't feel thirsty, you should still consume electrolyte-rich liquids to replace the salts your body loses via perspiration. Being stuck in traffic is something you cannot avoid, so always have a bottle with you. Keep in mind that cold beer dehydrates and alters the nervous system. Limit alcohol and tobacco use, advises Dr. Wali.  

In new guidelines, the ICMR recommends individuals to consume entire spices. Spices in powder form are more likely to be tampered with.

In its new instructions, ICMR advises consumers to choose whole spices instead of powdered ones, which are more likely to be contaminated. Everything you're interested in knowing.The Indian Council of Medical Research, or ICMR, has released new guidelines that advise consumers to stick to whole spices instead of powdered ones, which are more likely to be contaminated and therefore unhealthy. The ICMR provides advice on choosing healthy meals and ensuring they are free from infestation, mold, foreign matter, and artificial coloring in Guidelines 12-Consume safe and clean foods.Spices are a rich source of antioxidants and provide food flavor. They aid in the treatment of numerous illnesses. For food preparation, the ICMR suggests using caution while purchasing spices. People are advised by the medical research body to choose whole spices over powdered ones because the latter may contain adulterants."Whole spices that are consistent in color, size, and shape should be chosen over powdered spices because the latter are more prone to be tampered with. Purchase only certified goods, advises ICMR. Concerns about pesticides have recently drawn attention to MDH and Everest spice mixes. To assist Indians in making better food choices, the ICMR and the National Institute of Nutrition published 17 new dietary guidelines for Indians of all ages.How the ICMR recommends choosing safe food Food safety may be jeopardized by adulteration, chemical contamination, and microbiological contamination. Food's natural enzymes cause it to deteriorate over time as well. In addition, food is dangerous when it contains natural poisons, adulterants, insects, rodents, and different chemical residues that are present in excess of what is allowed. Furthermore, the recommendations state that the moisture content of the food as well as certain environmental factors like temperature, humidity, and storage duration affect the meal's quality.

From bird poop facials to fire facials, these strange Chinese beauty customs will astound you.

I'll pretty much do anything to achieve attractiveness. I had to give bird poop facials a try as soon as I learned about their existence. You all already are aware of this. I'll give anything a shot. I've previously paid for a snooze as well as having my entire body washed. Oh no. Trying out all these opulent treatments is rather draining. However, someone has to do it! :)The Geisha Facial is the official term for the procedure, which is presently exclusively offered at the Shizuka New York Day Spa in NYC. I made an appointment as soon as I read about it. I was prepared to have Japanese nightingale droppings all over my face.I changed into my skivvies at the spa and wore soft slippers and a robe fit for a geisha. It was a component of the whole encounter.I was shown to a room and made up on an incredibly cozy bed. "IS THIS THE BIRD POOP?!" I exclaimed as soon as celebrity facialist Shizuka Bernstein began her session. I felt a little enthusiastic. She promised to alert me as soon as she started smearing the excrement all over my face. Shizuka informed me that although the bird feces is one of the steps in the treatment, it's not the primary component. I see, crap. I was prepared to have bird droppings all over my face for sixty minutes.That being said, the third phase in the treatment is the bird feces. Your face is first cleaned, then a clay mask is put, and last...To cover up the unpleasant smell, Shizuka first blends the bird droppings with rice bran. She then uses a brush to apply the mixture to your face, exfoliating it with a scrape.The recipe doesn't smell horrible, but it feels a touch gloopy. It had an oatmeal-like scent to it.The bird excrement is packaged as a powder. It turns out that nightingale droppings are produced in Japan, where they undergo a UV sanitization process before being ground into a powder. I picture a whole warehouse full of birds peeing into trays, and someone's duty is to go scrape it and then hand it off to be cleaned.Shizuka responds, "The bird poop actually has a natural enzyme that will cleanse the skin," when asked why she uses bird dung. It also contains guanine, which is a common ingredient in shine-producing cosmetics." A few more processes, including extraction, come after the facial portion involving the bird feces. My face felt as smooth as a baby's butt after she was finished. I believe I would repeat it.
