Getting Rid of Permanent Scars and Tattoos

We thought that tattoos and acne scars were just something we needed to live with for the rest of our lives – until laser was discovered. With the discovery of laser, we learned that there is no such thing as permanent anymore, except when laser has removed them. Take the case of hair removal, eye laser surgeries and lately, tattoo laser removals.

The Celibre Medical Center is one of the known tattoo removal los angeles centers. They guarantee that tattoos can be permanently and effectively removed regardless of skin color. They have personalized treatments for everyone, as removal depends on the how deep the ink has been placed, what the colors are, whether the tattoo is professional or amateur and what the skin type of the person is.

You can even have acne laser removal los angeles there too! CNN health has reported that laser treatments, when done by medical professionals in licensed centers, are 100% safe.

    Doctor’s Orders

    Here are some doctor’s order to keep your health at the most, healthy :)

    Skip the 11 o’clock news, respect your mouth and 18 other stay-healthy musts

    1. Learn How to Relax
    2. Know Your Resting Heart Rate
    3. …And Your Waist Size
    4. Respect Your Mouth
    5. Drink Tap Water
    6. Skip the 11 O’clock News
    7. Volunteer for a Cause You’re Passionate About
    8. Get Familiar with "C"
      As in c-reactive protein, a marker of inflammation (checked with a blood test) that experts think may play a role in the formation of clots that block the flow of blood to the heart. Researchers in the landmark JUPITER study of more than 17,000 women 60 and older and men 50 and older found that those who had normal cholesterol levels but slightly elevated levels of c-reactive protein reduced their risk of heart attack and stroke by taking a statin–meaning that CRP levels may be worth keeping tabs on. However, keep in mind that experts are still trying to figure out CRP’s exact role, and whether or not it directly causes heart disease or is a sign that it’s developing. "Men and women in this age group with normal cholesterol should ask their doctors about CRP," says Dr. Goldberg.
    9. …And "D"
      "Mountains of research show the benefits of vitamin D," such as lowering the risk of osteoporosis, "but many women don’t know their levels," says Marjorie Jenkins, MD, executive director of the Laura W. Bush Institute for Women’s Health in Amarillo, Texas. And 60% of American women are deficient, whether they live in Boston or sunnier climes like San Diego. (Your body produces D when it’s exposed to sunlight.) Because D is fat-soluble, you can get too much of it–so ask your doc to check your levels before you start taking a supplement.

    Italian Grilled Chicken Breasts

    Ever since our helper came back a month ago, I have not set foot on our kitchen to cook. I think the longest time I went there to cook was just to cook some hotdogs and eggs for my kids. And when I need to reheat our meal for the night.

    I noticed that we need to add variety to the meals we eat because my husband has been complaining that what we ate last week is what he is still eating the next week. Plus I noticed the kids get tired of eating the same food all the time so I’m on the look out for new recipes. Thankfully, I don’t need to buy recipe books because there is so many recipes I can search on the web, most especially at SandyandSue.com. We love Italian (pasta) and American (burgers, steaks, fries) food the best so this site is perfect for us. There is a community at the site where I can ask questions about food and members can share their recipes as well. I have bookmarked the site and will really turn to it if I am running out ideas. Most especially now when we are eating more chicken, less pork and beef (trying to lose weight, as always).

    Here is a recipe I saw and will be trying soon:

    imageLooking to spice up chicken dinners? This is a simple and delicious chicken dish that is good for a family dinner or for entertaining. For an even better taste, buy free-range chicken breasts.

    2 lemons
    3 tbsp olive oil

    4. Cook on the grill.
    5. When they come off the grill, squeeze the juice of the other lemon over them.
    6. Serve!

    Serves:  4   Ready in:  40 minutes
