Exploring the World of Cosmetic Surgery - Part V
Mommy MakeOvers by Dr. Rady Rahban
 Watch here
There is no doubt that becoming a mother is one of the most wonderful experiences a women can have. A new baby fills one's life with happiness and joy, but often leaves new mommies feeling self-conscious of the changes her body encountered during pregnancy. Despite rigorous diet and exercise routines, many mothers are unable to regain their pre-pregnancy body, leaving them frustrated and discouraged. Commonly, post-pregnancy women wish to address their loss of breast volume (most notably in the upper pole), drooping of the breast gland and nipple, redundancy of the abdominal skin, bulging of the abdominal wall (aka the pouch), accumulation of stubborn fat, and finally the presentation of unsightly stretch marks.
Luckily, with the many advances in plastic surgery today, reversing the effects of pregnancy and childbirth is becoming more and more common. Combination surgeries known as the Mommy Makeover, include Breast Lifts, Breast Augmentations, and Body Contouring (Tummy Tucks & Liposuction), safely help women get their pre-baby bodies back. You and your doctor will need to address each of your concerns, and he/she will educate you on which combination of procedures will help you to attain your realistic goals and expectations.
A brief description of the common procedures may allow you to determine if perhaps you are a candidate for the surgery. Breast Augmentation aims to add volume back into the breast through the use of a saline or silicone implant. A Breast Lift, which often is accompanied with an augmentation, not only addresses the volume loss, but recreates an attractive shape of the breast and nipple. A Tummy Tuck is a very powerful procedure that flattens the abdomen by removing excess skin, fat and stretch marks as well as tightening the muscles which often have stretched out considerably. Finally the addition of liposuction will address the stubborn fat which has accumulated creating the "love handles", the "muffin top" and "saddle bag" deformities.
There are many factors to consider before undergoing a "Mommy Makeover," Most importantly, your current health and lifestyle and how post-surgery recovery will affect you and your family. It is also important to remember that a Mommy Makeover isn't just for recent moms, some women wait years after giving birth before considering a Mommy Makeover. If your children require constant attention (lifting/holding, etc.) you might want to consider waiting until your children are a bit older to proceed. The Mommy Makeover is a wonderful option for women who have lost self esteem from the adverse after-effects of pregnancy, helping both new and veteran mommies regain their youthful appearance.
Dr. Rahban is certified by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, his specialties include breast augmentation, breast lift, rhinoplasty, tummy tuck, liposuction and facial fillers. Dr. Rahban studied and worked closely with Dr. Garth Fisher, the world renowned plastic surgeon featured on the hit ABC television show "Extreme Makeover." Dr. Rahban learned many of Dr. Fisher's techniques before starting his own practice. Dr. Rahban is now in his own new office in Beverly Hills and has a fully equipped certified surgery center. You can visit his website at www.RadyRahban.com or call his office at 310-550-9855.

Organic Foods Now...Nanobots Later?
by Karen Norris
 One of the drawbacks of modern factory-produced foods is the excessive use of chemicals and pesticides and the depletion of nutrients in our soil. Whole vegetables and grains are grown in "whole" soil that contains all of the minerals and other nutrients required for nutrient-rich foods. However, the soil used in factory farms tends to be depleted of important trace minerals and can contain large amounts of pesticides, insecticides and other chemicals that end up in the produce. Many of these chemicals are approved by the EPA and are routinely used in commercial food production.
The term "Organic Foods" refers to produce, grains and animals produced without artificial fertilizers, pesticides, insecticides, herbicides, hormones, antibiotics and other chemicals. If you do eat non-organic produce, add ¼ cup of 3% hydrogen peroxide (food grade hydrogen peroxide can be found at health food stores) to a sink full of water and soak the food for 20 minutes before cooking or eating.
New technology on the horizon... According to leading scientists and researchers at MIT, ultimately, the exact nutrients each individual needs will be analyzed and understood by nanobots so we won't have to bother with extracting nutrients from food at all. Within the next 10 to 15 years (2010-2015), nutrients will be introduced directly into the bloodstream by special metabolic nanobots. Sensors in our bloodstream and body, using wireless communication will provide dynamic information on the nutrients that our bodies need at each moment. The new technology used today in the tiny M2A Gut Cam, which is a small videocam the size of a pill that people swallow to allow doctors to see digestive problems, has paved the way for the new nanobot technology. Our world is changing...we'll keep you posted!

Nutritional Cleansing & Detoxification
 1) Natural Cleansing - Fiber is in all plant foods including fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, seeds and legumes. Some fibers are soluble in water and others are insoluble. Soluble fiber slows digestion and helps you absorb nutrients from food. Insoluble fiber adds bulk to your stool, helping the stool pass more quickly through the intestines. Foods containing high levels of soluble fiber include dried beans, oats, oat bran, rice bran barley, citrus fruits, apples, strawberries, peas and potatoes. Foods high in insoluble fiber (the kind that keeps your stool moving quickly) include wheat bran, whole grains, cereals, seeds and the skins of many fruits and vegetables. The American Academy of Family Physicians recommends 25-35 grams of fiber daily.
2) Psyllium Husk Fiber Detox - Fiber rich for detoxification and elimination. A rich source of water-soluble fiber which is an essential part of any healthy detoxifying program and an all natural digestive cleanser. For thousands of years Psyllium husks have been used in Europe, North Africa, and Asia as a laxative. Psyllium husks and seeds are often called by their folk name of flea seed because of their brown coloring and small size. Psyllium Husks provide high levels of fiber that removes accumulated wastes effectively. Acidophilus is added to help replace any beneficial bacteria that may be removed from the intestinal walls. Psyllium Husk can also offer nutritional support for the inflammatory response function. Psyllium Husks provide a healthy, all-natural way to cleanse the intestines of toxins.

4) Green Tea Extract - Concentrated chemicals derived from green tea dramatically boosted production of a group of key detoxification enzymes in people with low levels of these beneficial proteins, according to researchers at Arizona Cancer Center. In a study of 42 people, the concentrate -- composed of chemicals known as green tea catechins in amounts equal to that found in 8-16 cups of green tea -- boosted production of the enzymes, which belong to the glutathione S-transferase (GST) family, by as much as 80 percent in some participants.

Chewing Almonds 40 Times Before Swallowing Helps You Lose Weight
Fact!  Thorough chewing of almonds may increase the absorption of unsaturated fat and suppress hunger for longer, according to findings from Purdue University.
Chewing almonds 25 or 40 times before swallowing led to significantly more unsaturated fat than those who chewed the almonds only 10 times before swallowing, according to findings presented last week at the 17th European Congress of Obesity in Amsterdam and published recently in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition.
The study revealed that chewing 40 times was found to suppress hunger and elevate the feeling of fullness more than 25 chews. Furthermore, two hours after consumption, hunger levels were higher and fullness levels were lower after 25 chews than after 10 and 40 chews, said the researchers. Levels of the appetite-suppressing hormones glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) were significantly higher following 40 chews, compared to 25 chews. Insulin concentrations were also observed to decline faster after 25 and 40 chews than after 10 chews.
Love those almonds!!!
