			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am myself, a tomato food lover. I have since been addicted to it when I went to Korea where they sells tomato juice widely in their store. It tasted too good that I fell in love with it after taking it the very first time. Since then, I frequently bought those fresh tomatoes from market or concentrated juice from supermarket for consumption. However, being a lover myself, I have never know that tomatoes provide lots of key benefits to our human health.</p>
<p>One of the key important nutrient in Tomato that serves adds on healthier life is its&#8217; lycopene which is an anti-oxidant component that slows down the aging process. This I believe is the most important factor in which most girls should look at. Tomatoes have high content of lycopene which is also vital in fighting against cancerous cells.</p>
<p>It is also claimed to be a blood purifier and helps in dissolving gallstones. In fact, it also helps in improving cholesterol profiles.</p>
<blockquote><p>Nutritive Values of Tomato : Per 100 gm.<br />
      Vitamin A : 1,000 I.U.<br />
      Vitamin B : Thiamine .06 mg.;<br />
      Vitamin C : 23 mg.<br />
      Vitamin K : amount uncertain<br />
      Calcium : 11 mg.<br />
      Iron : .6 mg.<br />
      Phosphorus : 27 mg.<br />
      Potassium : 360 mg.<br />
      Protein : 1.0 gm.<br />
      Calories : 20</p></blockquote>
<p>There are even many articles have been posted and can be easily reachable through the net. One of the well known online encyclopedia, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomato">Wikipedia</a> even have a dedicated article solely on the tomato itself. It is indeed a good food to consume anytime at an affordable price (you can even plant it yourself and sell it~!)</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><font size="1" face="Verdana">I have constantly feel burning stomach pain concomitant with burping, bloating symptoms this 2 days. I thought the stomach indigestion again. I am not a person who always eat punctually, in the sense - on time. I can be some time do not need to eat breakfast and can work with empty stomach until 3pm. That is why i have develop some kind of stomach problems.</font></p>
<p><font size="1" face="Verdana">I have these problems few months ago and it ceased when i took only 2 days of NEXIUM 40mg and i stop it because i do not want to take medicine for long time. My gastroenterologist told me that it is good idea to take acid reducer before the acidic meals such as seafood, tomyam&#8230;etc. (However i still do not practicing it until today the reflux problem came back <img src='http://tingting.silentcross.net/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_sad.gif' alt=':(' class='wp-smiley' /> ). My Dr do not want me to do endoscopy as he said if you have nothing just a normal reflux or indigestion, doing scope will cause more GI cells to be eroded. Hence it cause more harm. Therefore after i took it for 2 days the last time, my bloating and burping problems gone off. Honestly i didnt have any reflux pain that often as i am not suffering from any gastric. Well i like spicy, sour food, the product specialist of Nexium asked me to take Nexium before any &#8216;erosive&#8217; meals. I think it works well with this method&#8230;..</font></p>
<p><font size="1" face="Verdana"><em><strong>NEXIUM (20mg and 40mg OD)</strong></em></font></p>
<p><font size="1" face="Verdana">I have read some forum and see people experienced rapid heart rate, blurred vision, weight gain, insomnia, bloating, headache, extreme muscle aches in lower extremities, feeling extremely cold in lower extremities. However, i do not experience any of these the last time i took. So today i took NEXIUM again. Due to my soring stomach. </font></p>
<p><font size="1" face="Verdana">Luckily i have not have GERD (Gastroesophageal Reflux Disease : symtoms such as heartburn, trouble swallowing) </font><font size="1" face="Verdana">I think that our current lifestyle, eating on the run, being tethered to a computer at work, having to complete impossible deadlines, mental exhaustion and physical inactivity because of a lack of green space are the causes of GERD. As long as corporations control the world, GERD will be on the rise and pharmaceutical companies will continue to create drugs that bind us to the cycle of disease.</font></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>The soaring demand for cosmetic surgery has made it a big business. Without proper regulations, however, the risks are equally big.</strong></p>
<p><em>LIPOSUCTION</em></p>
<p>Liposuction removes pockets of fat from troublesome areas such as the thighs, hips, abdomen, and upper arms. Liposuction procedures vary depending on what your ultimate cosmetic goal is, and whether you are combining liposuction with other plastic surgery procedures. liposuction is the surgical removal of fat cells through a stainless steel suction tube called a cannula.</p>
<p><em>Are You a Good Candidate for Liposuction?</em></p>
<p>If you are considering liposuction, it is important that you have realistic expectations. Although dramatic results can be achieved, they may not be as immediate or obvious as you would like. As with all plastic surgery, the success of liposuction will depend on a number of individual factors, such as age, skin elasticity, weight, and overall health. Liposuction is not appropriate for people with a weakened immune system, diabetes, heart or artery problems, or a history of blood clots or restricted blood flow. You are a good candidate for liposuction if you are of normal weight; have healthy, elastic skin; and have specific “trouble areas” such as the tummy, thighs, and butt that will not respond to changes in diet and exercise. Liposuction is also appropriate for women who are considering breast reduction, and for men who suffer from gynecomastia, or male breast development.</p>
<p><em>LIPOSELECTION</em></p>
<p align="justify">LipoSelection is the most advanced approach to body contouring that is considered less invasive than conventional liposuction. Also known as ultrasonic liposuction, this advanced technology works by dissolving and removing fat cells throughout the body with the use of gentle ultrasound. Unlike traditional liposuction, LipoSelection allows for more precision in specifically targeting your body fat. It minimizes the impact and interruption to other nearby body tissues, which significantly minimizes your recovery period. Most of the patients may resume work within 3 days of surgery.</p>
<p align="justify">LipoSelection uses gentle ultrasonic waves to dissolve select areas of fat pockets without disturbing or putting stress on nearby nerves and collagen tissues. This is possible as the ultrasound is able to differentiate fatty tissue from other important body tissue (such as blood vessels, connective tissue and nerves) that should be left largely undisturbed. The unwanted fat tissue is gently dissolved and efficiently removed from such areas as the abs, arms, back, hips, knees, love handles, neck and chin, saddlebags, and thighs, or any place you feel you’ve developed extra weight. Through a small self-healing incision, of about one centimeter, our physicians are able to use this technology to precisely remove fatty areas gently and smoothly. Not only does the procedure involve much less pain and bruising than traditional procedures, the results are astonishingly smooth, shapely and natural looking.</p>
<p align="justify"><em>MESOTHERAPY</em></p>
<p align="justify">It has a variety of medical aesthetic applications including weight loss cellulite reduction, body firming / sculpting, face and neck rejuvenation, and hair regrowth.</p>
<p align="justify">Mesotherapy is a medical procedure, which involves injecting microscopic quantities of natural plant extracts, homeopathic agents and vitamins into the skin to treat a variety of conditions. The Physician will select a formula customized to treat your condition. Mesotherapy can be used to treat or assist in treating a variety of conditions such as: cellulite, weight loss, spot reduction, and rejuvenation of the skin</p>
<p align="justify"><strong>What are the benefits of Mesotherapy over surgical techniques such as liposuction?</strong></p>
<p align="justify">Liposuction does no treat cellulite and, in fact, often ends up making the cellulite more prominent. Mesotherapy treats cellulite directly and the result is a smoother skin surface. Mesotherapy also spot reduces fat in specific areas, like &#8220;love handles&#8221;. The fat deposits are flushed out of specific areas and the body does not gain the weight back in other areas, which often happens after liposuction. Mesotherapy is a non-surgical procedure that does not require hospital admittance, general anesthesia or downtime. The doctor will create a formula to treat the fat in the cellulite to enhance the impaired circulation and repair/ replace damaged connective tissue, thereby smoothening the surface. Cellulite treatment can be done on any affected part of the body, e.g. Arms, stomach, waist, hips and legs.</p>
<p align="justify"><em>Breast Augmentation</em></p>
<p align="justify">Make breast bigger with only a jab of excess fats into that area. The risk is the filler do not last long and may mask the presence of the cancer.</p>
<p align="justify"><em>Buttock implants</em></p>
<p align="justify">Made famous by Jennifer Lopez and Beyonce. The big rear end trend has pushed many women to have stabs of silicone planted beneath their buttock muscles - close to the germ-rich anus - increasing the risk of infection.</p>

<p><strong><font size="5">Face Lift Without Surgery</font></strong></p>
<p>Thanks to modern technology, it is now possible to have an effective face lift without surgery. There are several non-surgical face lift techniques available, such as the laser face lift. These procedures are minimally invasive, remarkably efficient, and practically pain-free.</p>
<p><strong><font size="4">Laser Face Lift</font></strong><strong><font size="4">With a laser face lift, there is no cutting, scarring, or anesthesia. Using laser technology, doctors resurface and tighten the outer layers of the skin, leaving patients with fewer fine lines and wrinkles. The non-surgical laser face lift does cause some minor discoloration and sensitivity immediately after treatment; however, these side effects typically disappear within a week or two.</p>
<p></font></strong><strong>Dermabrasion</strong></p>
<p>Dermabrasion and dermaplaning help to &#8220;refinish&#8221; the skin&#8217;s top layers through a method of controlled surgical scraping. The treatments soften the sharp edges of surface irregularities, giving the skin a smoother appearance.</p>
<p>Dermabrasion is most often used to improve the look of facial skin left scarred by accidents or previous surgery, or to smooth out fine facial wrinkles, such as those around the mouth. It&#8217;s also sometimes used to remove the pre-cancerous growths called keratoses. Dermaplaning is commonly used to treat deep acne scars.</p>
<p>Both dermabrasion and dermaplaning can be performed on small areas of skin or on the entire face. They can be used alone, or in conjunction with other procedures such as facelift, scar removal or revision, or chemical peel.</p>
<p><strong>Microdermabrasion</strong></p>
<p>Micro dermabrasion is one alternative to deep chemical peels or laser resurfacing. Micro dermabrasion is a progressive, non-invasive treatment that propels natural mineral crystals in conjunction with controlled vacuum and pressure onto the surface of the skin for gentle epidermal abrasion that reveals newer, healthier, younger skin. The treatment is performed with little discomfort. At the most, sensitive patients might experience a slight sensation resembling light sunburn. After treatment, the skin has a pink glow, and you can resume your normal activities almost immediately. The procedure can be done during lunch hour.</p>
<p>Micro dermabrasion treatment erases epidermal layers at varying depths in a safe, controlled manner. This approach respects the integrity of skin and promotes even healing. Maintaining level of cellular growth on the surface aids in the youthfulness of the skin&#8217;s appearance. This system treats a vast range of skin problems like sun-damaged skin, uneven and granular skin, fine and deep lines, enlarged pores blackheads and comedones, acne scarring, stretch marks, dry or dehydrated skin and skin discolouration. Micro dermabrasion offers a gentler alternative to more traumatic resurfacing treatments. It does not involve trauma or bleeding. The treatment is executed slowly and progressively, removing only superficial layers of the epidermis to reveal a youthful complexion and glow.</p>
<p><strong>Tattooed Make-up</strong></p>
<p id="cgDn">Most women find the idea of not having to put makeup on every day pretty appealing, but that doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean permanent cosmetics is the magical answer. There are pros and cons to these procedures which you should consider before you decide to get cosmetically tattooed. The procedure of getting permanent cosmetics is just like getting a tattoo.  Topical anesthetics are used to produce a numbing effect, and then a vibrating needle is used to insert the ink into the dermis, creating a makeup tattoo.  The entire procedure takes about an hour or two, which is not a lot of time to spend when you think of how much time you will be saving every morning.</p>
<p><strong>Permanent filler injection</strong></p>
<p>Injection of a special gel to plump up lips and to push up the wrinkles and fine lines, i.e. to filled out the spaces in the face when an extra volumn is needed.</p>
