Hydro lipodystrophy or cellulite as it is more commonly known affects 80% of woman and only 5% of men.

Some of the causes behind the formation of cellulite include; hereditary, vascular and diet.

Vincent Davianny anti cellulite gel and treatment promotes the reduction of cellulite and evens out the dimple effect caused through fatty build up in certain parts of the body.

Percutacel forte is a cellulite reducing gel. It reduces cellulite and stops the formation of new adipocyte (fat cells) by preventing the build up of fats. This is a gel that combines active ingredients carried through a specific liposome system, for better absorption. The tiny particles in the gel allow the penetration through to the deepest layers of skin.

Anti cellulite gel contains two recently discovered active ingredients; an extract from a plant that grows in Madagascar called Tephrosia purpurea. This ingredient has demonstrated that external application is sufficient for the keratinocytes to produce endorphins. Recent studies have concluded that these molecules act as chemical messengers for fat removal.

Scientists in the research laboratories of Vincent Davianny recently discovered an ingredient named liporeductyl. Liporeductyl reduces cellulite and specifically attacks adipose maturation, preventing the build up of fat droplets inside healthy cells. Other ingredients that are also encapsulated within this product which poses slimming
properties are carnitine and caffeine.

We recommend the gel is applied with smooth massage movements to concerned areas twice a day for two months for best result

Many recent studies support the notion that older people's quality of life and degree of independence are improved through physical activity, and in particular, strength training.

Many obstacles, including sensory deterioration, muscle atrophy and neural deterioration stand in the way of the older exerciser. For that reason, strength training is an essential component of the older person's exercise program.

As it ages, the human body undergoes many changes that contribute to frailty and disability. Physical changes, such as a reduction in bone mass, sarcopenia, and poorer posture and balance also influence psychological changes, such as decreased confidence with day to day tasks.

Strength training not only makes the older person stronger, it also makes her feel stronger.

There is good evidence that older people who participate in strength training have greater strength, greater self confidence, improved balance, an increased ability to perform physical tasks and an increased ability to recover from potential falls.

Inadequate muscle strength and control, poor balance, certain medications, poor eyesight, decreased proprioceptive ability and hypotensive issues increase the risk of a person falling. Many of the internal risk factors for falls are improved through physical activity, and in particular, strength training.

Exercise for the older person is gaining greater recognition and is being recommended by health bodies around the world. A personal trainer cannot turn back the clock and make an older person younger, but we can help them to deal with their aged body more easily, increase the length of their life and certainly improve the quality of their life! These benefits are achieved through physical activity, and in particular, strength work.

Everyday we think about our health and how we can improve it.

We are aware to drink water for our kidneys and regular exercise for our heart, but how often do you think of caring for your largest living organ, your skin and treating the breakdown of collagen.

Collagen is the fibrous protein found in skin, bone, cartilage, tendon and connective tissues. Collagen is responsible for our skins strength and durability, it is the cement that binds our skin together. Collagen gives us a smooth and plump complexion.

Collagen provides structure and firmness to the skins tissues, while elastin provides flexibility, without collagen our skin starts to become flaccid and loose.

As we age, cell proteins change shape this causes a loss of collagen and less firmness to the tissues. This is the process that causes the formation of a wrinkle.

The important step in wrinkle prevention and elimination is to reduce the natural collagen breakdown and increase the supply of collagen in your skin, this is achievable in a number of different ways:

1. Exfoliate your skin with a scrub, chemical exfoliate gel, Vitamin A, professional peel or dermabrasion this will stimulate skin cells to produce collagen. Stimulating collagen in aged skin assists to reduce lines and wrinkles and improve texture.
2. Vitamin C is essential for the synthesis of collagen, it stimulates collagen and is also a high antioxidant which reduces the damage caused by free radicals.
3. Promote collagen synthesis by supplementing collagen with a stimulating peptide like Argirline (Botulingel capsules & Caviare Plus day and night cream) these signal our cells and boost collagen.
4. Avoid Sun exposure as this breaks down collagen. Protect your skin with Sunscreen, hat, sunglasses and protective clothing.
5. Fight free radical damage on your skin, by increasing intake of Anti oxidants. Anti oxidants are found in blueberries, raspberries, green or white tea or an oral supplement. Use skincare containing Vitamins, Co enzyme Q10 or Anti oxidants ingredients.
