Are you ready for some FOOTBALL?!
We knew Labor Day had to be known for something besides the last summer cook-out! In the United States, Labor Day officially marks the beginning of the NFL and college football seasons.

Can we hear a hearty hip, hip hooray?!
But did you know that as the summer sun fades and the fall and winter fast approaches—vitamin D levels wane and player injuries increase?

According to an article, by Bill Gillete, in Dermatology Times E-News…

“Vitamin D deficiency may be unusually high among American football players, with black players and those with muscle injuries showing significantly lower levels, Medscape Today reports.”

Orthopedic surgeon Michael K. Shindle, M.D., led a research team that tested the vitamin D levels of 89 players from the National Football League’s New York Giants, in the spring of 2010.

Investigators found that 27 players — about 30 percent — had deficient total 25-hydroxy vitamin D levels (below 20 ng/mL) and as many as 45 players —just over half —had levels consistent with vitamin D insufficiency (between 20 and 31.9 ng/mL).

Only 17 players — about 19 percent — had vitamin D levels that were within normal limits. The percentage of players with abnormal vitamin D levels was “alarming,” according to Dr. Shindle.”

Just like the NFL players, many us are lacking in vitamin D, as well. In fact, three out of four Americans are likely to be vitamin D deficient. The best and most effective way to get vitamin D is from something we’ve been “protecting” ourselves from for decades—the sun!

So, this Labor Day fire up the grill, practice sensible sun exposure to get your vitamin D, and… get ready for some football!

If you’ve been a bit confused by some of the conflicting information coming out about vitamin D—you’re not alone!

Recent scientific studies show that vitamin D is the answer to a host of serious diseases and much of the medical community is getting on board in a big way.

Others, however, are not as convinced…

According to a recent article in Science News, “This debate came to a head last November, when an Institute of Medicine panel of scientists announced new vitamin D recommendations. The IOM panel boosted the recommended daily intake of the vitamin from 200 to 600 international units per day for most of the population. The new dose is in the range of vitamin D found in most multivitamins.”

Vitamin D proponents say these new RDA’s fall far short of what’s necessary for good health. Ironically, the best and most effective way to get vitamin D is from something we’ve been “protecting” ourselves from for decades—the sun!

In fact, our ancestors spent way more time in the sun—producing thousands of international units, or IUs, every day, perhaps getting three to five times as much as most people get now.

They’ve developed a “sensor” that gauges the intensity of the sun’s UV rays and helps you determine when you’ve received enough sunlight to produce ample vitamin D. It’s a simple concept–with a lot of science– packed into a sensor that’s the size of a postage stamp!

Most personal care products contain ingredients that work as preservative systems to prevent them from becoming contaminated by the growth of microorganisms. In fact, without preservatives, it is difficult to formulate a product that is not susceptible to contamination as soon as it is exposed to outside influences during use. Bacteria, mold, and other microbes can cause infections and other health problems if a contaminated product is used around the eyes, on the skin, or is ingested.

Parabens are among the most widely used preservatives in the cosmetic industry, yet they have been the topic of a flood of bad press. Consumers are understandably worried by the articles they read linking these ingredients to a variety of serious issues.

But is the hype real?

Many regulatory agencies and health organizations believe parabens are safe, while recognizing that more research is necessary.

Concerned consumers have to decide for themselves.

The first day of school is just around the corner and no doubt looking your best is at the top of your to-do list. If you are dealing with acne it can affect your self-confidence and put a damper on your social life.

Although the majority of teens may not have what would be categorized as severe acne–nearly 100% will have some form of the skin disease–from an occasional breakout to chronic acne.

So, what causes acne?
Acne develops when pores become clogged with oil and infected with bacteria that live on the skin. All acne starts the same way, but what happens inside the clogged pore determines the type of blemish that forms–blackheads, whiteheads, pimples, or even cysts.

How can I get rid of my blemishes before school starts?
Here are some important skincare DOs and DON’Ts to start implementing right away:

Don’t over cleanse your skin! This can lead to excess oil production and actually have a reverse effect on acne.

Do cleanse your skin thoroughly with a gentle cleanser two or three times a day.

Don’t pick or squeeze blemishes. This can spread infection further and cause scarring. In fact, it’s best to avoid touching your face at all.

Do visit a professional aesthetician, if possible, for regular facials to help keep pores clean.

Don’t use alcohol-based products that can strip the skin of natural moisture.

Do use an effective, but gentle topically applied treatment that contains micronized benzoyl peroxide and is hypoallergenic, non-comedogenic and anti-inflammatory.

What’s a fast-acting, one-step topical treatment for my acne?

Kim Kardashian recently revealed on her reality show, Keeping Up With the Kardashians, that she has been diagnosed with psoriasis.

Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory disease that causes thick, red, itchy, scaly patches on the skin.

Kudos to Kim for her transparency and for bringing attention to a chronic skin condition that affects as many as 7.5 million Americans.

According to an article in the Boston Globe about Kardashian’s condition, “Current remedies include steroid creams, UV light therapy, and more persistent psoriasis can be treated with newer drugs like etanercept or infliximab that target specific immune system chemicals that produce inflammation. But these powerful injections cost more than the steroid creams and light therapy and pose a greater risk of side effects, including infections and liver injury.”
