Suzanne Somers Interviewed About Ageism in Hollywood

Suzanne Somers was interviewed on TV on The Insider show about ageism in Hollywood and her views on celebrity infidelity. Although some stars in Hollywood such as Jane Fonda, Sharon Stone, Juliette Binoche and Julian Moore do find good roles, generally, there are not a lot of interesting roles for female actors in Hollywood. It seems that once an actress hits 30 - 35 years of age, the good acting roles dry up. Male actors find acting roles, no matter what their age. They are often paired up in relationships with female stars almost half their age or less.

Hollywood stars have to undergo botox, plastic and cosmetic surgery and starve themselves just to remain "young looking" as the roles become less available.

Not only does ageism exist in Hollywood, ageism is very present in the workforce. It is more difficult for older women to find work in the workforce. Ageism, like any other prejudice pre-judges a human being.

What can you do to fight ageism? If you are in a position to hire, don't hire a person just based on their looks or youth. Hire the best person for the role and let their qualifications and experience guide your hiring decision. If you are in Hollywood, hire actors in the appropriate age group to play opposite the male star.

The ironic news about ageism in the workforce is that with declining population levels, corporations will have to rely on and hire older workers who want to work because there will be too many people collecting pensions and not enough young workers to support the pension system.

Looking your best as you grow older can be helped by using good antiaging creams, eat a healthy diet, exercise to keep yourself in the best shape. Get a great haircut and don't dress in old fuddy clothes. Dress professionally for the workplace, not trying to be a 22 year old, but wear classy, nice styled clothes. If you need it, see your cosmetic surgery doctor for some collagen injections, but don't overdo it. The final advice is, get rid of your stress and keep a happy and optimistic mood. Let your happiness spread around.

Slowly, attitudes will change in the workplace and hopefully Hollywood will make movies that reflect real life more closely. I mean, how often do you see a 67 year old man who's all saggy and baggy, married or falling in love with a 22 year old hot thing? It doesn't happen very often unless the old man has stacks of cash.

Breast Cancer Risk After Menopause Heightened With Weight Gain

For anti aging during menopause, you've got to do a few things to fight the risk of getting breast cancer. Women tend to gain weight during menopause which increases their risk of breast cancer. Menopause includes the symptoms of sleep disturbances, hot flashes, dry skin and mood changes all contribute to a lowered quality of life for many women. Weight gain during menopause is also an issue for most women and also a major problem because the risk factor for breast cancer increases because of this.

The cause of menopause weight gain is directly related hormone imbalances and the loss of hormones. This weight gain occurs first in the waist and abdominal area. Women in menopause also appear to generally reduce the amount of exercise they get and this contributes to the problem. Compounding this, muscle mass declines as you age and is replaced by fat. We all know that muscle burns more calories than fat. Losing muscle mass contributes to the weight gain of fat. This is not a healthy place to be.

Because of the loss of hormones during menopause, the body tries to create estrogen in the fat around your waistline. This can lead to estrogen dominance which increases the risk for breast cancer

What Is the solution?

For fight the diseases of aging such a breast cancer, it is necessary to change your lifestyle. This begins with a diet and exercise program. Eating right and exercising during menopause is more important than ever at this time in your life.

The best anti aging tip for you is to lose weight, eat right to reduce your breast cancer risk. Also add exercise into your daily routine. An anti aging diet and exercise program are your best bets. Remember also to supplement your diet with nutritional supplements that you may not get with your daily intake of food. Visit your doctor and have him or her test your hormone levels and get them corrected with bioidentical hormones. Do not use the synthetic hormones because they actually increase breast cancer risk. All good advice for aging well and living healthy.

Nanoblur Anti Aging Cream

The ads for Nanoblur anti aging cream are very enticing. What drew me to this cream is the promise in the full page ad in the newspaper, that it can make you look ten years younger in 40 seconds. That’s a big promise. Almost all anti aging creams promise results in as short a period of time as two weeks, but Nanoblur is promising you youth in 40 seconds, without makeup, without procedures and they assure us in their ad that there is no photo retouching. We all know the wonders of Photoshop and how every single photo in the magazine and Hollywood industry has been retouched with the tools of Photoshop. Nanoblur antiaging cream is promising that they haven’t done any retouching of the photograph in their full page ad which shows the model’s face, divided in half, one half has been treated with Nanoblur and the other half has been left alone.

In the ad for Nanoblur anti aging cream, Nanoblur is boasting that it removes shine (something we all known can be done by using simple facial powder), that it minimizes wrinkles and fine lines which sounds promising, that it can make your pores appear smaller which is useful, achieves uniform skin tone (something that can be done with liquid makeup) and makes your nasolabial folds appear less deep. All of these promises in a tube of Nanoblur will cost you only $19.00. Minimizing nasolabial folds seems like the most amazing promise of Nanoblur anti aging cream. Minimizing nasolabial folds is usually only achieved with any number of collagen cosmetic fillers which will set you back about $400 per tube. The promises of Nanoblur cream can be achieved with just a 40 second or less application of the cream and will make you appear 10 years younger.

Nanoblur anti aging cream works with all skin types and tones of skin. This anti aging product works for both men and women. It is not classified as a makeup because it has no color and consists of millions of tiny prisms. It also does not contain cancer causing parabens or aromas – so no allergy issues here.
