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.

Does it work? Does Nanoblur anti aging cream make you look instantly 10 years younger? It all sounds too good to be true and I hope it’s not. I’m off to my Rexall Pharmaplus pharmacy – the only place you can buy it and test it out. I mean, you’ve got to try it to find out if it works. I’ll let you know after I’ve done my testing.

Anti aging Cosmetic Surgery with Radiesse

A Natural Look that Lasts

I have reviewed a few other wrinkle fillers including Restylane, Artecoll, Juvederm and Botox and found one of the best cosmetic dermal fillers for anti aging your wrinkles and deep folds in the skin is Radiesse. I’ve done the research, spoken to the various companies that make these cosmetic wrinkle fillers and with women and men who have actually had the work done.

I was speaking with my anti-aging specialist, a medical doctor and a bioidentical hormone expert and I asked her if she uses any cosmetic filler herself. She confirmed that she used “everything” and specifically used Botox for around the eyes and forehead and a filler called Radiesse for her nasal labial folds. She looks fabulous. I asked her why she uses Radiesse and she said it is because it is the longest lasting filler and therefore becomes the cheapest. Radiesse can last up to a year or more and I am considering, for the first time, actually getting it done myself.

What to Expect from Radiesse

Cosmetic surgery for the face done with Radiesse is a budget conscious decision. As far as cosmetic fillers go, it does the job of filling deep folds in the skin which come as a result of aging and the reduction of collagen and elastin within the skin. The best thing about Radiesse is that it is long lasting. This makes it great for your budget. Instead of having to go and get cosmetic surgery each four to six months, you can have this done once a year or even up to once every two years. The end result is natural and reduces the look of tiredness in your face.

Radiesse can be used for nasal labial folds, augmenting the cheek bones, jaw line contouring, tear troughs, marionette lines and filling up old scars such as acne scars. It is advertised as a “next generation in longer lasting wrinkle correction.” As a dermal filler, it’s one of the best.

What is Radiesse made of?

Radiesse has been approved by the health agencies in North America and Europe (FDA approval) and is a safe treatment for the correction of wrinkles and folds.

It is made of calcium based microspheres in a natural gel and is injected into the problem areas. These microspheres work with your body and help support and stimulate the growth of your own collagen. They eventually break down and are naturally absorbed into the body. The results are immediate and last anywhere from one to two years. It is safe and has been clinically tested over many years. Over 4000 doctors have received training with Radiesse dermal filler application.

How is Radiesse used?


Radiesse is injected into the problem sites under the skin. It is used with a local anesthetic to numb the pain of injection which is like a small pin prick. An ice pack is applied immediately after to reduce numbness and swelling. Your doctor may massage the areas after injection to ensure even correction. You could have some side effects such as mild irritation, itching, bruising, swelling or tenderness at the injection site, but most of these side effects are rare.

It can be done in a lunch hour, but maybe take the day off to admire your new younger looking skin. There may be“firmness” to the injection site, but this will dissipate in the days that follow. Avoid aggressive washing or rubbing immediately after having the Radiesse dermal filler done.

As an anti aging tip for best dermal fillers, Radiesse is one of the best choices because of its safety and lasting qualities.
