What is Eczema?

Saturday, February 5th, 2011

I have Eczema!

As if things have not gotten more complicated already, now I’ve discovered that the itching I’ve been having for the last 2 years is Eczema.

It started off mild enough….once a month or so, there will be a slight itch that will go away after applying moisturizer for a couple of nights. Then last year, it was a little more sever, as I had gone on vacation in Italy, and the weather was too dry for me. The dry skin persisted on my hands, arms and legs, but it stopped after I applied some steroid cream from my doctor.

However, a few weeks later, the eczema flared up quite badly, such there there was sever itching. Within days, the dry skin had become leathery and red…..

I used steroid creams, despite knowing that it will thin the skin and bones…I was desperate. But it did not work….

After 6 months, spending a small fortune on creams, I stumbled on the eBook which helped me resolve my Eczema in 2 weeks!

Now I realize that Eczema is not a simple case of dry skin…the root cause lies in your immune system, your diet and understanding what you are eating, as well as how your body’s immune system works. Moisturizing your skin works on the dermis (upper skin layer), but not internally. Vitamins A and E are needed in your diet. On hindsight, I realized that I have neglected my health and diet due to my busy schedule. Since I followed the advice in the eBook, I have recoved from Eczema and have never felt healthier!

For Eczema suffers, don’t delay….visit the official website NOW!

You owe it to yourself to an itch-free life.

Best diet: Low-carbohydrate diets

Friday, March 13th, 2009

It’s official, a low-carb diet is better at burning fat than just cutting calories.

American scientists who were working to find out how diet affects the operation of the liver put 14 overweight people on either a low carbohydrate or low calorie diet.

They found those eating fewer carbs lost almost double the weight over two weeks, and several changes in liver function were identified as part of the reason why.

“Energy production is expensive for the liver,” says Dr Jeffrey Browning, assistant professor at the UT Southwestern Medical Centre, in Dallas, Texas.

“It appears that for the people on a low-carbohydrate diet, in order to meet that expense, their livers have to burn excess fat.”

The average weight loss for the low-calorie dieters was about 2.2kg, while the low-carb dieters lost about 4.3kg on average.
