www.karenrothnutrition.com A study compared the anti-oxidant levels of some powerful vegetables, including broccoli, spinach, carrots, celery and onions and concluded that Beets had higher antioxidant power. They are an excellent source of folate for those of you preparing for pregnancy and others that are concerned with cardiovascular health. Beets are also a very good source for potassium They are a low calorie food, with 1 cup of cooked beets coming in at only 75 calories. Peak season is from June to October. This means the nutrient density and flavor are at the highest and cost is at the lowest. When selecting beets, look for deep color, with smooth skin and solid root. Avoid soft, bruised or shriveled beets. They will be tough too eat and have fewer nutrients. The key to storing once you get them home is to cut off the stems put them in an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator without rinsing. When cooking, you want to leave the skin on but the leaves chopped off leaving a couple of inches. First you may want to use plastic gloves or cover your hands with plastic baggies, to avoid staining your nails and hands. Rinse them well, cut into 4 pieces, steam for 15 minutes or until they are soft enough to put a fork into. Now you will have to peel them, remember to use gloves or paper towels. Then toss with balsamic vinaigrette, feta or goat cheese and with some basil, or simply toss in a salad. You can make a great appetizer with chopping beets into small …

Question by Tracie: You always hear about the antioxidant effects of tea. Is this the best source?

Best answer:

Answer by Cristi@n
An antioxidant is a chemical that reduces the rate of particular oxidation reactions in a specific context, where oxidation reactions are chemical reactions that involve the transfer of electrons from a substance to an oxidising agent.

Antioxidants are particularly important in the context of organic chemistry and biology. All living organisms maintain a reducing environment inside their cells, all cells contain complex systems of antioxidants to prevent chemical damage to the cells’ components by oxidation. These antioxidants include glutathione and ascorbic acid and are substrates for enzymes such as peroxidases and oxidoreductases.

A diet containing polyphenol antioxidants from plants is required for the health of most mammals, since plants are an important source of organic antioxidant chemicals. Antioxidants are widely used as ingredients in dietary supplements that are used for health purposes such as preventing cancer and heart disease. However, while many studies have suggested benefits for antioxidant supplements in laboratory experiments, several large clinical trials have failed to clearly demonstrate a benefit for the formulations tested, and excess supplementation may be harmful. It is logical to assume that a one dimensional approach to dietary supplementation with one specific antioxidant is not a panacea, since a broad diet rich in phytonutrients will yield thousands of different polyphenol antioxidants available for metabolism.

Question by Wax: A question about wound care ?
Hi!

So I was in the kitchen one day and got a little excited with my new chef’s knife.

There I was chopping coriander, and my mind wondered… chop

The knife went through my finger diagonally. It mustn’t gone very deep as I felt no pain but there was profuse bleeding.

It also went through my nail and made a wide “U” at the top of the nail; but was still attached. It went into the skin of my thumb too.

After washing and picking out coriander (actually there was one bit left as I was scared to move the bit of nail too much! :/), I applied pressure, raised my hand and ran to the pharmacy down the road.

The pharmacist said it didn’t look too bad and as it was the weekend, I couldn’t visit the local surgery.

I applied antiseptic ointment (Savlon) and applied a plaster, and wrapped my finger with a waterproof white tape ‘dressing’ so I could continue cooking.

Now having set the scene my actual question(s) is/are as follows:

[*] I’ve been changing the dressing every 24 hours and the bleeding stopped after the first dressing. There is no pain but on the first day there was a dark haematoma-like bruising. So I washed the area again carefully and reapplied the ointment, plaster and bandage. These things are airtight and waterproof so should I be letting the wound to “breathe” or is this an old wives tale?

[*] Is it normal for the skin that has been covered for 24 hours (on several occasions) to develop a lighter/wrinkled hue to the surrounded skin? In some areas (for example I assume where the ointment has collected under the bandage) the area is extremely white and in contrast with the other areas around it. Is this just because of saturation or is it a sign of infection?

I am on a very very busy schedule and I would be amazingly grateful if I could get feedback on my situation. I look forward to your replies.

Thanks!
Thank you for the replies Jessica S and Butterfly.

I panicked at Jessica’s reply but I’m a little more relaxed now with Butterfly’s other end of the spectrum reply… but to be safe I may just pop down to the surgery and they’ll send me to the ER if necessary.

Thankfully its my left (non-dominant) hand and therefore I can try my best to keep it out of harms way during the day. The bandage/dressing I applied was originally in fear of squashing/deforming the wound as I slept!

I’ll continue to monitor this thread and thanks again for the replies!
Oh I forgot to mention that the wound itself has cleared up nicely, the bruising has disappeared, there is a little flappy skin and the cut part of the nail has reseated itself like a jigsaw and holds in place without the bandage. Pressing around the nail and on the actual flap of skin does not sting or hurt. There is no secretion and the only cause for concern was the slightly too-long-in-the-warm-bath look of some bits of skin in the covered top section of the thumb (and not on the actual wound/around the wound itself).

I hope the above paragraphs weren’t too incoherent!

Best answer:

Answer by Jessica S
First off, you should have gone to the emergency room! You only have a few hours in which to get suture before the wound begins to heal. If you do need sutures they will have to reopen the wound and suture it. You should go to a doctor anyway as this skin flap could die if the blood is not circulating well and you could end up with a huge infection. If you need to clean it, use 50% luke warm water and 50% betadine solution. Skin is usually kept covered but not with a bandaid (usually wrapped in a sterile gauze). The bandaid can stop the air flow and cause skin to die around the edges. You also shouldn’t be purring ointment unless directed by a doctor because not all ointments are the same.

Answer by dichotomymom
Eucerin makes a lotion with a natural ingredient to lessen redness. One thing to avoid is harsh cleansers and microdermabrasion as these can exacerbate the redness.

About Open Pores www.onlymyhealth.com Sweat and sebum inside the skin come out through a passage of tiny holes. There are different types of skin- dry, oily and combination. Open pores can be seen more often in people with oily and combination skin. When glands start producing more oil or hyper active gland, the bigger pores enable it to come out. The open pores on the skin are connected to a tube inside the skin, with collagen holding it tight. In early age related changes, the collagen starts to degrade and support to the tube gets lost, leaving pores dilated.

Question by : What is the single major difference between collagen and cellulose?

Best answer:

Answer by Jolie
Both are biological tissues.

Cellulose is predominately found in plants, but can also produced by bacteria. For example, Cellulose forms the primary structural component of green plants.

Collagen is exclusively found in animals and a major constituent of animal bodies. Collagen is used for example as “connective” tissues for things like tendons and cartilage in mammals.

Cellulose = Plants
Collagen = Animals.

Question by : )): Information about jobs in aesthetics?
I’m a sixteen year old girl interested in aesthetics. All my life i wanted to do something in the medical field. However,about a month ago i came across this profession and it seemed like something i would really enjoy! (Skin treatment, hair/tattoo removal, cellulite reduction, Botox) As i was looking into the salaries, i saw that they don’t make much. Even nurse practitioners
Is there any jobs in that field (or similar too) where the salary is over 70,000 yearly.
(Im a good student and i’m in all honors classes, so i want to do something i like, but i want my salary to pay off for how hard i’ve worked to get the grades.)
Thank you!

Answer by John
Hey I can’t give you much information about Aesthetics, but i can give you some information about a job in the medical field i’m working towards. I’m working towards becoming an AA ( Anesthesiologist Assistant). It is a very rewarding career, were you work under the Anesthesiologist obviously, to administer “drugs” to prepare the patient for surgery. To become one you must have a 4 year degree, with all the pre reqs for AA School. Then the school consists of 2 to 3 years including month long clinical rotations. When you finish school most likely you will already be offered a job while in school, but you can START at 90-120k for 40 hour weeks. Sorry for the poor grammar, i’m a Biology major not an English. Thanks for your time, hope this helps you out, and if you have any questions just email me. Thanks

God Bless
