Enriched with Vitamin E!Loaded with Shea Butter!Drenched in Sweet Almond Oil!High Glycerin content!
Weve all seen the splashy advertising for bath and body products that guarantee our skin will be thankful and forever soft because of the fabulous additives they are enriched with. All the pictures of nature scenes on the bottles look very convincing. The question is whether whats inside the package can improve your skin? Yes! It absolutely can, if you know what youre buying.
Glycerin: a vegetable based humectant – in plain English this means that it draws moisture out of the air and holds it. When you use a soap that is high in glycerin the moisture is sucked right out of the air and held to your skin! It is a very effective way to keep your whole body happy and soft.
Shea Butter – extracted from the nuts of the Shea-Karite tree (in Africa). It has been known and used for centuries for hair and skin rejuvenation. It is fatty acid that gives Shea Butter its unique healing properties. It is particularly helpful for sun damaged skin. It helps prevent premature wrinkles, facial lines, acne, eczema, and other skin irritations. Vitamin F acts as a skin protector and rejuvenator. It soothes rough, dry or chapped skin. The less processed the better! A wonderful additive. This can be used daily!
Sweet Almond Oil – It is rich in protein and penetrates the skin for effective moisturizing. It conditions, softens and smoothes skin. Also contains vitamins A and E. It is a very effective emollient.
Jojoba oil or beads – it is actually a wax, not oil. It is in liquid form and is similar to human skin, so it absorbs easily. It promotes cellular healing, and skin elasticity. Great in any bath or body product!
Hemp oil – is cold pressed from the seeds of the hemp plant. It contains essential fatty acids, vitamins A, D, minerals and Omega 36. This makes it the only oil to have these Omega acids besides fish. A wonderful addition to your skin care line.
Vitamin E – is a great antioxidant for your skin and significantly helps in the reduction of scaring from wounds and has been shown to help reduce the appearance of stretch marks on the skin. Because there are a few forms of Vitamin E, it is very important to purchase vitamin E skincare products with the right form of vitamin E. You should be sure it is alpha tocopherol, or mixed tocopherols not the synthetic acetate.
WARNING – be sure to check your soap labels for ingredients. If is has a harsh surfactant, detergent, or preservative it will strip your skin of all its nutrients and will make any helpful additive ineffective! Your skin will be drier than when you started.
Here is my list of the top 5 most harmful ingredients to avoid:
DMDM Hydantoin
SLS – Sodium Lauryl Sulphate
Sodium Laureth Sulphate (SLES)
Methylparabens
DEA (diethanolomine)

Acid Reflux Disease – The Pharmaceutical Hoax!

Author: Charles Richeybr
Source: articleage.combr
br
The medical community would have you believe that only drugs can
treat and heal acid reflux disease. This is simply not true -
there are natural ways to heal this condition. PPI drugs
(proton pump inhibitors), like Nexium, Prilosec, Prevacid and
Protonix should only be be taken for eight weeks, at most.
Doctors are aware of this, but most patients continue to take
these drugs on a permanent basis. Unfortunately, there are no
studies determining what the long term effects of these drugs
are on the human body.
PPI drugs actually shut down the pumps that produce the stomach
acid necessary to digest food. You have to wonder how the human
body digests and assimilates food properly without stomach acid.
How does a body remain healthy without the proper digestion of
food? Is this natural?
I used to suffer from acute acid reflux. I was addicted to a PPI
drug… that certain colored pill. After several years of
taking this drug, my condition became worse and I was told to
double the dose. I began to feel sluggish and tired. My vision
suffered and my blood pressure went off the charts. I realized
that these were probably side effects of the PPI drug. I did
some research and found that there were hundreds of possible
harmful side effects, including: Headache, diarrhea, nausea,
abdominal pain, dry mouth, aggravated constipation, enlarged
abdomen, back pain, chest pain, anemia, allergic reaction,
hypertension, tachycardia, goiter, tinnitus, facial edema,
conjunctivitis, vision abnormal, aggravated depression,
dizziness, hypertonia, nervousness, cystitis, insomnia,
migraine, anorexia, acne, dermatitis, glycosuria, hyperuricemia,
hyponatremia, arthritis aggravated, tongue edema, ulcerative
stomatitis, impotence, insomnia, to name a few.
I mean, who needs tongue edema, impotence or aggravated
constipation? Good God! I knew that I had to stop taking this
drug! But when I tried, the acid pumps, which had been shut off
for so long, went wild and produced more acid than ever before.
I have never suffered so much in my life….even drinking water
gave me severe indigestion. My doctor suggested that I get back
on the pill. He had no other advice to offer.
I became determined to beat this dreadful condition – beat the
curse of the big drug companies! I really had no choice,
because medical science, apparently, had no solution for my
problem. I began extensive research on the subject and found
out some very interesting things.
Acid reflux is big business. Its a drug companys dream come
true. Millions of Americans suffer from acid reflux. Many
millions more experience the pain of heartburn, ranging from
once a month to every day. This affliction is the result of the
splashing up of fluids from the stomach into the esophagus.
These fluids are composed of hydrochloric acid, pepsin and
occasionally liver bile. Stomach fluid helps break down the food
we eat so that it can be digested. The hydrochloric acid in the
stomach fluid helps prevent harmful bacteria from multiplying in
the stomach and intestines. Although hydrochloric acid also helps
the body absorb vitamins and nutrients, it is a very strong
corrosive. The stomach holds this powerful acid in check with a
special protective lining. The esophagus, however, does not have
this protection. When acid splashes up through the lower
esophageal sphincter into the esophagus, we have the problems
of heartburn, gerd, or acid reflux. This condition, if left
unchecked, can eventually lead to Barretts Disease, or cancer
of the esophagus.
Of course, I found all this to be quite scary and, since drugs
were not the answer for me, I had to find alternative ways to
treat this condition. I researched the subject even further and
found a plethora of natural things that could heal acid reflux.
First of all, I learned that acid reflux is not a disease, but
a condition that begins when the esophagus becomes irritated.
Lets say that you are watching an exciting ball game on TV.
Someone hands you a bag of corn chips and without thinking, you
eat them too fast, without chewing properly. The jagged edges
of the chips have caused little lacerations in the esophagus that
youre not even aware of. Later that evening you are invited to
a Mexican chili party. The spicy tomato sauce in the chili
further irritates those injuries. You wash down the chili with
alcohol or soda, making it even worse. Before you know it, you
have a full blown case of acid reflux. Until you allow your
esophagus to heal, you will continue to suffer from this
condition.
I was astounded to find that the esophagus can be healed in about
three days. Simply eating foods that are easy to digest, three
or four times during the day, and omitting the regular big meals,
is the key. I ate fruits like bananas, melon and apples during
the day. I snacked on walnuts and almonds. I found that eating
slowly in a relaxed atmosphere and chewing food well helped
enormously. There are foods and drinks which should obviously
be avoided like those which are fried, spicy, or too crunchy.
Alcohol and carbonated drinks are a definite no-no . We are all
aware of which foods trigger our indigestion. You just have to
avoid them for a few days until you are over the hump.
There are many natural herbs and health store items which can
assist in this healing process. Slippery elm, Twig tea, aloe
vera juice, licorice products and orange peel extract can be of
great value, just to mention a few. Removing stress from your
life is essential during this period. Yoga and meditation are
worth considering to ward off the daily angst.
I managed to stop taking those harmful and expensive drugs, in
favor of natural remedies. I cured my acid reflux condition.
I am drug free. You can do it too.
Charles Stewart Richey is a self-educated expert on how to cure acid reflux disease, by natural means.
He has written an extensive report entitled, REFLUX GONE FOREVER, Natural Acid Reflux Remedies. He explains how the proper application of herbs, health store items, meditation, diet and exercise, can heal acid reflux, gerd and heartburn.

8 Natural Health Beauty Tips

Author: Brian B. Carter, MS, LAcbr
Source: articleage.combr
br
The number one natural beauty tip I can give you is to take your
health seriously. In Chinese medicine, we know that natural
external beauty is a reflection of inner health and well being.
Often, the solution to external beauty problems is an internal
one. That means foods and herbs. In the case of skin problems,
herbs can be use to create creams or wraps and applied directly.

In Chinese medicine, we treat problems like acne, blemishes, and
other skin problems, hair loss, and premature graying of the
hair. Some of this you may need to see a Chinese medicine
herbalist for, but some of it you may be able to deal with
yourself. Im going to give you natural beauty tip after natural
beauty tip to help you do just that.

Natural Beauty Tip #1 – Eyes Lacking Luster What does it mean?
You can see it in babies and young children – bright, glowing
eyes. Our oldest Chinese medicine classic (written between
200-500 B.C.) states that the essence of the internal organs
ascends to the eyes. The Bible says something similar, Your
eyes are windows into your body. If you open your eyes wide in
wonder and belief, your body fills up with light. Clear and
glittering (shining) eyes indicate vitality of mind and essence.
Dull, clouded eyes reflect a disturbed mind, and weakened
essence – this often happens in people with long term and deep
emotional problems.

How can you fix it? Well, first of all, if you have some
emotional problems, work through it with a professional- either
a counselor, therapist, or someone within your religion. This is
one part of getting to the clear, vibrant personality that
shines through in bright eyes. It may take a while to get there.
Second, you can take herbs and eat foods that benefit the eyes.

Probably the best Chinese herb for the eyes is lycium fruit (gou
qi zi). Other herbs are black sesame seeds (hei zhi ma), and
privet fruit (nu zhen zi). Good foods for the eyes include
shepherds purse, undried raspberry (fu pen zi), and animal
liver.

Natural Beauty Tip #2 – Bags Under Your Eyes Bags under the eyes
indicate Kidney-system (root energy) deficiency, blood
stagnation, or allergies. Respectively, the solutions are to
increase energy and minimize overwork; get more movement and
circulation; and find the allergy cause, eliminate it, and take
anti-allergenic herbs and foods.

The Kidney-system energy is limited. If you overwork, have too
much sex, or use more energy than your digestive system can
produce, youll dip into this limited energy fund. This can lead
to more than circles under your eyes- you can end up with
premature aging and hair loss, impotence and infertility, and
ankle, knee, and lower back problems. If thats your problem,
try to practice moderation, eat better, and take supplemental
herbs and foods like black cohosh, Chinese chive, mutton,
walnut, oysters, pork, dried rehmannia (sheng di), Chinese yam
(shan yao), and horny goat weed (yin yang huo).

Blood stagnation can mean sharpn stabbing pains; clots and dark
blood in the menstruation; irregular menstruation; and hard
spots in the abdomen. If you have this, try celery, rose, yellow
soybean, seaweed, mung bean, corn, eggplant, cucumber, and
hemlock parsley (chuan xiong).

For allergies, get both IgG and IgE done for both external (skin
test) and food allergies (blood test). If you find something
substantial, avoid it! For food and herbs, try garlic, fresh
ginger, royal jelly, chicken, beef, chestnut, astragalus (huang
qi), kudzu vine (ge gen), and welsh onion (cong bai).

Natural Beauty Tip #3 – Acne This is literally too much heat -
your face has become a volcano just to let it out! Try mung bea,
seagrass, seaweed, Chinese hawthorn (shan zha), Jobs tears (yi
yi ren), and purple sage (dan shen). Avoid spicy foods, greasy
foods, and fried foods. Try some raw vegetables, too.

Natural Beauty Tip #4 – Dry Skin Moistening herbs and foods are
soy, spinach, asparagus, millet, barley, salt, seaweed, apple,
tangerine, pinenut, persimmon, peanut, pear, honey, oysters, and
clams. A seaweed facial wrap would be nice, too!

Natural Beauty Tip #5 – Eczema Try guava, clam, irish potato, he
shou wu, wild chrysanthemum, mugwort, Jobs tears (yi yi ren),
and asian dandelion (pu gong ying). Avoid spicy foods, greasy
foods, and fried foods.

Natural Beauty Tip #6 – Psoriasis Try turnip root leaf, vinegar,
grapefruit, black plum (wu mei), cloves (ding xian), and dang
gui (aka dong quai).

Natural Beauty Tip #7 – Prematurely Graying Hair This can happen
for two reasons- either you have a root energy (Kidney system)
deficiency (for more information and solutions, see the Kidney
deficiency information up under natural beauty tip #2), or you
have what is called hot blood. The second one happens with
bleeding, nosebleed, skin ulcers, and urinary difficulties. For
hot blood, take black soybean, processed dried persimmons,
processed rehmannia (shu di huang), and dried rehmannia (shu di
huang).

Natural Beauty Tip #8 – Premature Aging This is another
Kidney-system deficiency.

Try walnut, chicken, duck, he shou wu, Chinese ginseng, deer
antler velvet (the deers arent harmed! Lu rong), astragalus
(huang qi), lycium fruit (gou qi zi), horny goat weed (yin yang
huo), caterpillar larva fungus (dong chong xia cao), and red
date (da zao).

5 Insider Beauty Secrets Other Women Dont Want You To Know! (Part 1)

Author: Beth Scottbr

br
Imagine what you would do if you knew miracle working beauty secrets. And if you had the self confidence that comes with being beautiful.

Now before you laugh and say youll never be beautiful, listen up.

I know where youre coming from! At one time I didnt know any beauty secrets. Before I learned any beauty secrets I was plain, even bordering on ugly.

I had acne, chapped lips, weight issues, wardrobe disasters, and not so white teeth. But thats all become past with the 5 beauty secrets that have changed my life.

But I pulled through them all and learned some valuable beauty secrets as a result.

Now people are always commenting to me on my beauty. Saying I should be a model, etc…. And guys are no longer even an issue! I dont have to look for them, they come to me.

It turns out the best beauty secrets are those that are won by personal knowledge and experience. Not just by reading general tips in magazines.

So by experimentation over the years and by perseverance, Ive found out what really works and what doesnt.

Beauty Secret 1

Unchap and beautify your lips with this technique.

For soft, beautifully kissable lips, you need the following: a washcloth (Im not kidding either), warm water, and your favorite brand of lip balm.

First you apply a coat of lip balm. Then wet one corner of the washcloth, put the warm wet corner of the washcloth between your lips, press them together and hold for 5 seconds.

Then gently massage any remaining lip balm from lips with the wet corner of washcloth, and dry lips with a corner thats dry.

Apply lip balm again to keep your lips chap free. You may also apply lipstick or lip gloss on over the layer of lip balm.

I learned this was the best way to keep lips from chapping, after going through too many winters with dried, and chapped lips.

Beauty Secret

Clear your acne, and get beautiful skin.

For clear glowing skin, a little home remedy does wonders for my complexion, as it should with yours too.

Steam your face for 20 minutes every night after washing it, then every other night after steaming your face, massage a half teaspoon castor oil over face.

Leave it on at night while you sleep and wash off immediately upon waking. Steam face for twenty more minutes in the morning after washing. When you finish steaming your face splash your face with cool water and dry it.

If your skin starts to show any signs of a pimple forming. Take one night off from steaming and applying castor oil and apply Benzoyl Peroxide over face.

Take the next night off also from the steaming, castor oil, and benzoyl peroxide. Continue facial regimen with steaming and castor oil the following night.

This beauty secret will moisturize your face at the same time it will help clear up acne and pimples. But only if you work at it consistently.

Beauty Secret 3

Good taste in clothes.

When shopping for clothes try to stay away from really big prints, or weird mixes of colors (eg. green, pink and blue flowers combined on a white background, for instance).

Clothes like these just scream Im color blind! And if you in fact, actually are color blind, always shop with a friend who isnt and has good taste in clothes.

Buy basic colors. Solid reds, pinks, blues, whites, and blacks. Or things with small tasteful prints and designs.

Then mix and match each basic color with a corresponding one (blue goes well with white, pink, and sometimes with red, and different shades of the same color almost always go well together). Put these beauty secrets to use, and start seeing the benefits today. Be sure to read Part 2 of this article, which contains the last 2 beauty secrets.

In Part 2 Ill teach you the beauty secrets for whitening your smile without draining your bank account. And how to use clothes to your advantage by hiding figure flaws and defects.br

Whats Your Skin Worth? A little note about Natural Anti-aging…..

Author: Alayna A. Friesbr
Source: articlecity.combr
br
Are you like me who has used over-the-counter acne products, bought anti aging facial cleansers from department stores, or used the top of the line lipsticks? I was a complete fool, I bought into all the hype and thought I was using the best skin care products available for my skin.

Was I really caring for my skin? NO…………… Not at all!

Dont you want your skin to look the way it did the day you were born, you know, before you chose to apply all of those skin care products to your face? Dont you think the skin care products you are using, may be contributing to the aging process? Diet, stress, environment and everyday life, all have an effect on the way we look. But one of the contributors to aging you can control and I want you to consider….. are skin care products.

Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHA) is a skin irritant, skin care products containing AHA exfoliate not only dead skin cells, but the skins protective barrier as well. What you may have been doing is trying to exfoliate the dead skin cells that probably were not dead in the first place. What you need to do is allow your skin to make more cells. You may not be allowing this to happen because the products you may be using contain harsh chemicals.

You may be uneducated and find yourself using them and they are not allowing the skin to produce new cells. Some people need exfoliation often, but there are people who only need it once in awhile. If you keep exfoliating, the new cells dont have enough time to be born and that is why you may be cleansing and scrubbing too much and you may be creating more symptoms.

I see many people who are not educated and they are purchasing these products on the market with very little knowledge or instruction and they may be creating long-term skin damage. What you want to do is slow down the aging process, you may have been speeding it up. You should create the healthy balance your skin deserves. To achieve this, you want the skin to make new cells and by doing this you need to apply the best topicals you can.

If you have been uneducated and you have been using products that contain harsh chemical ingredients for a long time, this will begin to show over time. It may be from the wear and tear of using them on your skin. If you are washing your face two times a day or even one time a day with these products, you may not only be contributing to, but actually speeding up the aging process. In my opinion, symptoms of dull skin are developed by harsh chemicals in products and long term use of the wrong products. Use safe skin care products that are nourishing to your skin, not damaging to the skin.

Your skin may also become red and blotchy and your blood vessels may become more prominent on the surface of your skin. If you are using harsh skin products or products that have harmful ingredients in them, they will strip your skin. Think about it, depending on how old you are, your elasticity of your skin has been breaking down and may have been causing your skin to thin and making your blood vessels to be more prominent around the crease of your nose, cheeks and forehead. The products may have been messing with your skin for so long it cant even produce the adequate number of cells.

For instance, if you were diagnosed with oily skin, and you were prescribed a skin care product that stripped the natural oils and protective barrier from your skin, when you didnt really have oily skin in the first place. The harsh chemical ingredients damaged and thinned your skin and the blood vessels became more prominent.

You may also want to change your make-up or wear less of it. Choose make-up products and skin care products that are safe and free of synthetic ingredients. Become educated.

Rosacea – A Chronic Skin Problem

Author: Sharon Hopkinsbr
Source: isnare.combr
br
Rosacea is one of the highly mistaken skin diseases. Rosacea (pronounced as roh-Zay-sha) is a chronic skin disease which usually surfaces on your face. Millions of people have been affected by this disease without even being aware of its existence. This problem is very common among women between the age group of 30 and 50. The similarity between other diseases makes it very hard to diagnose. It can be mistaken as a sun burn or an acne related problem. As there are no specific remedies related to rosacea you can take some measures to control this problem.

There are four subtypes of rosacea

• Erythematotelangiectatic rosacea: reflected by flushing and lasting redness this also includes visible blood vessels.

• Papulopustular rosacea: is determined by persistent redness with short-lived bumps and pimples.

• Phymatous rosacea: thickens the skin which results in increasing nose size due to excess tissue.

• Ocular rosacea: affects the eye and creates problems like dry eye, tearing and burning sensation, swollen or puffy eyelids, recurring stys, endangerment to your eyes causing loss of vision from cornea damage.

Causes of Rosacea

As the cause of rosacea is very much unclear, some speculations have been drawn to shed some light on this chronic skin condition.

• Blood Vessel Malfunction: Some problem with the blood vessel that may cause blood vessels to swell which leads to flushing and blushing.

• Hereditary and Natural factors: A genetic predisposition with the combination of natural or environmental component to create this skin infection.

• Specific Skin color: It can be stated that this condition affects lighter-complexioned skin more than the other skin type.

Aggravting Rosacea

Rosacea can get severe due to sunlight, physical or mental stress, headaches, sinus, pre-dominant allergic conditions, spicy food, extreme temperatures and alcohol. The aggravation may differ from person to person and sometimes would not even matter.

Signs and symptoms of Rosacea

• Flushing: This causes frequent blushing and flushing which is can be termed as the first sign of this skin problem

• Persistent Redness: It is a steady occurrence with people suffering from this problem. Your face turns red which is mainly mistaken as sunburn.

• Bumps and Pimples: Sometimes your face is covered with pus-filled pimples or small bumps. These may look like acne accompanied with burning and stinging sensation.

• Visible Blood Vessels: Many small blood vessels appear on your face.

• Other common signs are eye irritation or watery eyes, inflammation, dry skin, skin thickens, facial swelling or swelling of eyelids.

Tips On Taking Care Of The Face

Author: Low Jeremybr
Source: isnare.combr
br
What makes a beautiful face?

Besides the almond eyes or doe eyes that most women salivate for; the luscious lips or the patrician nose, one should have flawless skin.

This however is easier said than done. Although there are people who are gifted with the perfect skin, there are some, the majority in fact, who have to struggle everyday just to take care of their skin.

How to take care of the skin

Facial skin care is not as complicated as some think. With the right attitude and discipline, one can actually create a facial skin care routine that will help bring about that healthy glow. Below are just some tips that can help you start.

1. Get a good night sleep

They did not call it beauty sleep for nothing. Having the right amount of sleep can actually help the skin regenerate. This is also the time when the skin can breathe in from going all day with make-up.

2. balanced diet

Eating lots of fruits and vegetables can help the skin stay supple and soft. In fact, foods that are rich in Vitamin C and E are good for the skin as it serves as excellent anti-oxidants.

3. Moisturize

The skin on the face needs to be kept moisturize all the time as this is the part of the skin that is often exposed to the sun and the harsh environment. Moisturizing the skin will help prevent the appearance of wrinkles and lines that may let you appear older than you really are.

4. Cleansing routine

It is important that one follow a cleansing routine every day. Remember that it is a cardinal rule to always remove the make-up before going to sleep. Turning in the night with make-up on will only result in clogged pores and eventually, acne. Although there are products that go great for certain types of skin, experts recommend the use of mild soap especially to those who have sensitive skins.

5. Sunscreen

The suns harmful ways can bring much damage to the skin. In fact, the sun is the number one culprit when it comes to wrinkles and dark spots. The sun can destroy the skins natural protection. That it why it is important that you put sunscreen every day, even when you are not planning to go to the beach or to go out. Experts recommend the use of sunscreens that have SPH 15 or higher for all day protection.br

Fat Transfer Helps Rejuvenate Your Face

Author: A Aaronsonbr
Source: ezinearticles.combr
br
Its hard to put your best face forward when all you want to do is hide the wrinkles and scars that have accumulated from acne and aging. There are many types of filler on the market that can help smooth out your facial flaws. But, you are wary about putting synthetic or animal substances and even poisons into your body. Surgery is not an option and the thought of abrading your face makes your skin crawl like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Autologous fat transfer offers you an all-natural option because the filler actually comes from your body. The plastic surgeon vacuums out a small amount of cells from your back, thighs or abdomen-these sites commonly have the preferred type of cells that are slower to reabsorb back into the body. Then, it is cleaned and purified before it is injected into your fine lines and wrinkles.

The use of fat transfer can help you repair the signs of aging. Skin loses elasticity and tissue as you age, which is what leads to sagging wrinkled skin. This procedure fills in the voided areas which tighten the skin, plumps and smoothes out the face. It also works well for acne scars and other indentations that make you self-conscious.

The benefit of this procedure is that it spot treats areas that need to be filled. It is almost like creating a work of art. The surgeon places the first bundle of cells then he can stack more on top of that if needed.

Flaws and imperfections in the face are not symmetrical and this layering method allows him to ensure that the areas that need treatment get it and the ones that dont, dont. He cannot be this detailed with other products that are gel-like or liquid.

This entire procedure is done under a local anesthetic which means that recovery is easier and shorter. They will likely be a little swelling, but it should quickly dissipate.

Unlike other fillers, this procedure carries no risk of allergic reaction which can accompany other products. Just like other products, you should expect to have occasional touch-ups, just not as frequent as other products. Over time, the cells will start to reabsorb and volume loss will occur. Everyone is different, but maintenance may be needed in some spots as soon as three months or as long as a year.

Alternative methods work well and offer great results when performed by an experienced and certified surgeon. But, fat transfer offers a completely safe option for those who are interested. Make sure that the surgeon you choose is board certified and experienced in performing this procedure.

There is a technique to injecting the substance into the face for the best results. A layering method of the cells is the best for filling in specific wrinkles and scars for a natural look. Who knew stubborn fat could be good for something?
